?Leaving the vige


    [Ace POV],


    "Sir Rnd, do you know if there''s a cemetery nearby?" I inquired as Sir Rnd turned to face me with a puzzled expression before speaking.


    "I wonder what Sir Ace would want to do with the cemetery," he said, puzzled, but he still answered my question.


    "There''s indeed a cemetery near the vige but when I say near, I meant it in the sense that it''s the only cemetery close to the vige", he said and added; "It''s just that the distance is far from here.


    Of course, this is in human terms, because people like us only need a few dozen minutes to get there "He said this as he turned to face me after speaking.


    Hearing what he said, I nodded as it just made our search easier since there is only one cemetery near the vige.


    As a result, if Emma and I don''t find anything there, we''ll just finish the quest that way, and if we do find something, that''s even better.


    As I considered this, I addressed Sir Rnd and spoke to him.


    "Thank you, Sir Rnd, and if there''s nothing else we can do here now that we''ve killed thest culprit responsible for the vigers'' disappearances, we''ll leave," I said as I dropped the now-empty cup in my hand on the short table in front of me as I stood up with Emma.


    Sir Rnd, seeing this, stood up and extended his right hand to me for a handshake, which I epted as Sir Rnd spoke.


    "Thank you and miss Emma for everything you''ve done for this vige and this old man. You people have been extremely helpful to this vige during its difficult time ", he said as we lost contact and he gave Emma a short bow before speaking again.


    "Please forgive me for taking up a little of your time, but I would appreciate it if Sir Ace and Miss Emma ept this small token," Sir Rnd said as he reached into his coat suit and pulled out two pouches that made a series of low sounds as they came out.


    Sir Rnd brought out the two pouches and handed one to Emma and me, and while I couldn''t see what was in the pouch in my hand, I had an idea of what it was from the sensation it gave me when I touched it.


    Turning to face Sir Rnd, who gave Emma and me a ttering smile, I remembered the expression on the vige headman''s face before I entered the vige was exactly like this.


    It appears that the church is quite reputable in this ce.


    As I thought of this, I carefully ced the pouch given to me in my pocket as I spoke to Sir Rnd.


    "Thank you for your gift, Sir Rnd; your thoughts are what matter," I said as Sir Rndughed briefly and spoke.


    "It''s nothing," he said, adding, "I just hope you people will visit this vige in the future when you have time," to which I promised under Emma''s re, which I ignored.


    After a short chat with Sir Rnd, Emma and I finally left the manor. As we walked down the cobbled streets of the vige, Emma seemed preupied in thought as she stared at the ground.


    "Emma?"


    She looked up at me, then at her feet again.


    Seeing this, I spoke and asked her a question.


    "Emma, what''s wrong?"


    After Emma heard this, she finally stooped looking at her feet as she turned to me and replied.


    "Am wondering if the people here are real people", she said as she took a pause before adding; "They seem so real", she said.


    Hearing this, I spoke up.


    "That''s true, but at the end of the day, it doesn''t matter because we''ll leave after the quest," I said, to which Emma nodded and returned her gaze to her feet.


    I really don''t know what is on her mind. As we had this little conversation, we finally left the vige through the gates under the eyes of the vigers. It was already evening when we came out of the vige and it was getting darker.


    I''m not sure why, but the time we arrived here was exactly like it was in the true world. It was essentially a continuation of time.


    If there is no time difference between this dungeon and the one outside, it might be nighttime in the true world if we finish the quest today.


    As I was thinking about this, Emma and I had a short chat about random topics like our assumptions about how the world is now, our ns for the near future, and magic.<novelnext></novelnext>


    It didn''t take long for us to walk to a point far enough away from the vige that the vige began to appear little from where we were.


    When Emma and I saw this, we decided to confirm the contents of the pouch Sir Rnd had given us.


    Even though I had a good idea what it was, I had to confirm it to avoid being blind to the contents of the pouch if it turned out to be something else.


    With this in mind, I brought the pouch given to me by Sir Rnd, along with Emma, who also brought her own from her pockets, as we both opened our pouches and checked their contents.


    When I finally saw what was inside the leather pouch in my hand, I knew it was exactly what I had assumed as I took an item from the pouch and examined it with my other hand.


    The familiar-looking primordial chronicle gold coin in my hand had the appearance of a typical gold coin and an exquisite ''P'' on both sides of the coin.


    ''Imagine the natives not having the primordial chronicle but instead having identical primordial coins,'' I thought as I tried not to think about the strangeness of this world as I counted the number of coins in my pouch and discovered it was around 50 gold coins.


    That''s a lot of money for the current me, but first I had to figure out if it was authentic and could be added to the total amount of coins I had in the store, and when I tried, the coins in my hand vanished.


    In the end, the total number of coins in my hand was 80 gold coins.


    This was a lot of money because I could now buy rare-grade weapons on par with my twin des on my own.


    As I was thinking about this, a thought urred to me, and I turned to look in the direction of the vige when Emma abruptly called my name, jolting me out of my reverie.


    Seeing this, I turned to Emma and noticed that she was looking at me with an odd expression on her face before she spoke.


    "You don''t intend to rob the vigers and the vige, do you?" Emma asked a question and I was unable to respond immediately because it was exactly as she said as I was already making ns to rob the vige in my head.


    I was about to say something when Emma spoke up again.


    "If you intend to do this, I will not participate," she stated.


    When I heard this, I put all structured ns on hold because if I was the only one to rib the vige, Sir Rnd would prevent me from seeding.


    Even though he was only one level higher than me, I couldn''t defeat him without Emma''s help because, unlike me, he was a genuine rank 1 human.


    Though I could tell that themon grade job he has did not provide him with as much improvement as a rare grade would, I believe I would still be unable to defeat him since even when we fought the oil puppet, he did not go all out and he was still powerful.


    It is still unknown how he became a ranked human without the primordial chronicle.


    Well, it''s not my concern because, for all I know, the entire world could be an illusion in the end.


    But, since my n had been thwarted before he could even begin, I simply followed Sir Rnd''s directions to the cemetery with Emma.


    This is why strength is essential.


    If I had been strong enough, I could have robbed the vige alone and profited greatly, but unfortunately, I couldn''t.


    Even though Emma said she wouldn''t participate, I attempted to persuade her otherwise, but that also failed.


    When I saw this, I came to a halt and took a few notes.


    One was that if I ever returned to a world like this, I would check their currencies and, if they were the same as in the primordial chronicle, I would make ns ahead of time to take their coins based on my strength at the time.


    As I thought of these things, we made our way to the cemetery slowly before speeding up after a while.
