Chapter 125: Hell (2)

That was Lace’s thought when she saw Ludwig’s post.

From the very beginning, it was already out of the ordinary.

It was already impressive that he had created a registered account as soon as he connected, but the most incredible thing was that he had used his real name.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Normally, people wrote their name on a piece of paper to prove their identity, but Ludwig had shown his face directly.

Considering that once a registered account is created it can never be changed, that was even more surprising.

But what was truly shocking was that he had even shown his face.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“Do you know that your face is fairly well known?”

“Speak.”

“…Commander.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

If he had not been a public figure, it might have ended up as nothing more than a simple anecdote.

The others had at least heard about it, but he had devoted his entire life to martial arts.

Moreover, Ludwig was a man completely unfamiliar with such things. amber He knew absolutely nothing about the gallery.

That was why, under normal circumstances, his face should only have been known within the Holy Kingdom and, especially, among the Holy Knights.

“You showed your face during the Hero’s escape incident, remember? album After that, practically everyone knows you.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“Anyway. galaxy At least write some comments. zenith The water has already been spilled.”

He was the man who had taught the Hero martial arts and had also passed on all kinds of knowledge to her.

Because of that, he was put on trial for allegedly instilling dangerous ideas that caused the Goddess to deliver that ominous prophecy.

After the Hero’s escape incident, Ludwig had been forced to appear before the public.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Lace discreetly looked out the carriage window.

During that process, his face appeared in the media and, along with various testimonies, he ended up becoming a well-known figure almost by force.

‘But is it really okay to do this? crystal There must be people monitoring the gallery in real time.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Although they were called support staff, they were actually watchdogs.

People sent by the Pope’s faction to make sure they did not do anything foolish.

The expedition did not only consist of Holy Knights, but also support personnel.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

And it was impossible for those people not to use the gallery.

Scribble… Scribble…

Without a doubt, they had already seen Ludwig’s post.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Then he carefully examined the paper before putting it away again.

Meanwhile, Ludwig was writing something in a notebook.

Lace watched the scene and connected to the gallery once more.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

└I’ve seen that face in the newspaper. advance Wasn’t he a witness during the Hero’s escape incident?

└I think so. anxiety The name is pretty common, but even the surname matches.

It was the post Ludwig had just made.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

└Can you still say that after seeing his face? lol

└If he really wants to prove it, he should write his name and the date on a piece of paper.

└Couldn’t it just be fake? accent Grills said he’d give a gift, so this guy probably made up an identity in a hurry.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

└Wow. beacon It’s real lol

(Photo of a paper with his name and the date written on it)

Title) LudwigvanErold

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

└And they’re still saying it’s not a purge but an investigation lol

└These sons of bitches from the Holy Kingdom are really purging everyone who gets in their way lol

└Ah lol, they didn’t kill them. airport They’re just officially missing lol

└That man is part of the expedition? galaxy I thought it was just a rumor ;;

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

└What’s wrong with the head moderator all of a sudden? autumn Didn’t he always end his sentences with exclamation marks?

└LudwigvanErold: I received an order. adopt That is all.

└HeroDontThrowAway: Why is Sir Ludwig…? amber Why was he sent with the expedition?

└HeroDontThrowAway: I see. antenna Understood.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

└Ludwig was an instructor of the Holy Knights. arch He even trained the Hero.

└He must be feeling pretty awful.

└Now that you mention it, didn’t they say he was a former Holy Knight?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

They had revealed the whole truth without holding anything back.

But what was the point of saying it?

Lace suppressed a bitter laugh.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

They called it an investigation, but in reality, Eldorado had organized the expedition as a purge and a public demonstration.

It was already common knowledge.

‘I wish I could see Asella’s face again.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

She always smiled while speaking truths that struck hard.

A woman with a cheerful personality, but very clear convictions.

At moments like that, she missed the Hero, Asella.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“Oh?”

“……”

“Hmm…”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Lace connected to see what was happening, but she found nothing unusual.

Ludwig, who had been browsing the gallery for quite a while, let out an exclamation.

Just as she was beginning to wonder what was going on, something unexpected happened.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“Huh?”

Fwoosh!

It was a sword.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

That could only mean one thing.

A longsword of a dull silver color.

Grills had sent him a gift.

It had suddenly appeared on Ludwig’s lap.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“Oh.”

However, Ludwig seemed more impressed by the simple fact that the object had appeared than by the gift itself.

It was like the reaction of a father seeing modern technology for the first time.

Instead of admiring the sword, he exclaimed the moment he saw it materialize.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

With such a dull-looking sword?

“……”

“A man named WildGrills gave it to me. advance He says I should use this to reach the place where he is.”

“…Commander? arcade What exactly is that?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Lace looked at it suspiciously.

In fact, a steel sword looked better.

At first glance, it seemed like an ordinary sword.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“……”

“I cannot say. echo He asked me to keep it secret.”

“What kind of sword is it?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

After all, Grills’ gift had ended up in Ludwig’s hands.

Lace was not sure. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

Could it have some special ability?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Creeeak—

If that was the case, even the watchdogs would have a hard time taking it from him by force.

After all, they were still an expedition, not prisoners.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Normally, that only meant one thing.

Shortly after Ludwig received the sword, the carriage came to a stop.

But they had only rested thirty minutes earlier.

It was time to rest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Then there was only one possibility left.

“We’ve arrived. atlas Everyone, get out.”

Lace squeezed her eyes shut.

They had reached the entrance to the Four Seasons Forest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

If she went in, she would die.

She did not want to get out.

She did not want to enter.

The time had finally come.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

She looked at him as if asking whether he truly intended to obey without resisting.

All kinds of thoughts tormented her mind, but they did not last long.

Ludwig was already preparing to step out of the carriage with his new sword in hand.

Ludwig met her gaze for a few moments before looking away.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

He was not going to say anything.

It was a silent answer.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Ludwig might have been a rigid person, but he also knew how to adapt.

‘This is really disappointing.’

Lace let out a sigh.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

As soon as she got down, she saw that both the Holy Knights and the expedition’s watchdogs were looking toward the same place.

Barely suppressing her discouragement, Lace stepped out of the carriage.

However, she did not know whether he had yielded to power or simply lost all hope.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s over there.”

The place everyone was looking at was known as the entrance to the Four Seasons Forest.

“……”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

That phenomenon that could only be seen in regions of extreme cold.

Auroras.

And that entrance was far from ordinary.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Beyond them stretched all kinds of landscapes.

In one area, there were only dry, withered trees.

Auroras of countless colors completely covered the entrance to the Four Seasons Forest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

In another, a snowy mountain battered by a fierce blizzard.

In another, a desert where nothing existed but sand.

And in yet another, a completely ordinary forest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Damn it, but it’s beautiful.”

That was the reason the place was called the Four Seasons Forest.

And also the reason it was known as a labyrinth where no one knew where they would begin upon entering and from which no one could ever escape.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

A place impossible to explain through magic, science, nature, or any other discipline. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“……”

At Lace’s resigned comment, Ludwig nodded silently.

Behind that beauty, an endless hell was surely hidden.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

It was then, while the Holy Knights were gazing at the entrance to the forest, that a man’s voice came from behind them.

Lace turned around and looked at the owner of the voice.

“Well now. acid It’s been a long time since I came here, but it’s still truly beautiful.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

A short stature.

Plump cheeks.

A kind smile.

“To think that behind such a beautiful sight lies a hell. acid Don’t you find that ironic?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Archbishop Odon.”

Lace spoke his name while frowning.

His flat nose and drooping eyes overflowed with greed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

And it was only natural.

She did not hide her disgust at all.

Odon belonged to the Pope’s faction and was also one of his lapdogs.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Clank—

As soon as the archbishop stepped forward, the Holy Knights escorting him moved to his side.

At that moment, he was the leader of the surveillance group tasked with making sure the expedition entered the Four Seasons Forest.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Their silent presence radiated a powerful sense of threat.

“Don’t make that face, Miss Lace. galaxy If you refuse this mission, His Holiness the Pope will be very disappointed.”

Unlike Ludwig and Lace, they wore helmets that concealed their faces.

Their role was to prevent the expedition from rebelling.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

She responded by frowning even more deeply.

Odon looked at Lace with eyes full of greed.

“Your blunt way of speaking is still the same. orbit That’s exactly why I like you so much.”

“Go to hell.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Although she wore her hair short and had a somewhat androgynous appearance, her beauty was extraordinary.

And where there was a beautiful flower, insects always appeared.

She possessed such a striking appearance that it attracted both men and women alike.

Odon was the perfect example of that.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’d rather go in already. orbit Move aside.”

“……”

“What a pity. audit It seems I have been too greedy.”

While that conversation was taking place, Ludwig continued staring at the Four Seasons Forest without looking away.

Lace looked away, making it clear that she had no desire to continue talking to him.

Naturally, Odon did not let that detail pass unnoticed.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

His usual sword was still sheathed, while he held a sword he had never seen before.

Thanks to that, he could clearly see the sword Grills had given him.

He slowly approached Ludwig.

Odon immediately realized that this was Grills’ gift.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“What do you think? canvas Have you developed the desire to eliminate the subversive element hiding in there?”

“Sir Ludwig. accent I never imagined you would connect to the gallery.”

Since there was a possibility that someone in the expedition might leak information, checking the gallery was mandatory.

“……”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

The difference in height between them was considerable, making the scene look like an adult looking down at a child.

Instead of answering, Ludwig turned his head and looked at Odon.

“And that sword was received from that subversive element, wasn’t it?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“Then hand it over to me. adapt Since it was given by a subversive element, it must be confiscated.”

That was complete nonsense.

“That is correct.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

He was a survivor.

Someone who, while doing everything he could to survive, had accidentally discovered the truth.

Grills was not a subversive element.

Even if he had some hidden intention, it was unlikely that he was lying.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Ludwig stared at Odon for a few seconds and, without saying a word, handed him the sword.

“……”

But Eldorado had already labeled him a “subversive element.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

And just as Lace’s anger was about to explode, something unexpected happened.

Odon’s face lit up with joy.

Grab!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Whoosh!

“Huh?”

“Aaaaaah!”

Ludwig grabbed Odon’s wrist just as he was about to take the sword.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

No one expected such a sudden action from Ludwig.

Odon had fallen into the forest and disappeared completely.

And threw him straight into the Four Seasons Forest.

The Holy Knights escorting Odon were startled and rushed toward him, but it was already too late.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

The members of the surveillance group drew their weapons and pointed them at Ludwig. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Naturally, Lace and the rest of the expedition did the same.

“What the hell have you done?!”

“Do you really think you’ll make it back alive after this?!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“Fuu…”

“Master! alpha We’re going to run, right?!”

Although it had been an unexpected action, they understood his intentions perfectly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“I was planning to take up farming when I retired…”

Hearing Lace’s shout, Ludwig let out a sigh full of mixed emotions.

Then he looked at the Four Seasons Forest and muttered quietly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Ludwig murmured those incomprehensible words and then turned around.

“It seems I’ll have to plant different seeds.”

When he did, he saw that a military force twice the size of the expedition had surrounded them.

“Master!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

In front of them, the surveillance group.

Behind them was the Four Seasons Forest.

A battle with absolutely no chance of victory.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

He gripped the sword he had received from Grills tightly.

[Queen. apple I will open a path. canvas Run and find Asella.]

But Ludwig did not give up.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

In that critical situation, Lace clearly heard Ludwig’s voice.

She did not hear it with her ears.

No.

It was a voice that resonated directly in her mind.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Startled, Lace glanced sideways at Ludwig.

Telepathy.

And what do you intend to do?

A technique that only true experts could use.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

In his hand, he held a sword that shone like a green galaxy.

[Do not worry about me. alien I will do what I must.]

That was the question she wanted to ask.

As he said that, Ludwig slowly began to walk forward.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Just a moment ago, it had looked dull, but now it was completely different.

“What the hell is that sword…?”

A light so beautiful that it seemed to envelop his entire body in its radiance.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“Be careful! atlas It has been confirmed to be a gift from the subversive element!”

Everyone learned that Grills had given that sword to Ludwig.

Apparently, someone had overheard the earlier conversation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Lace gazed at the sword shining like a green galaxy.

But that no longer mattered.

‘I’m sure it’s a great sword.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Unlike a certain someone who became absurdly strong, his aura had a perfectly defined form.

Aura Blade.

At the very moment she had that thought, Ludwig made his move.

Claaaang!!!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

The power that marked the difference between the truly strong and everyone else.

Or sword energy.

However, its size was completely abnormal.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Normally, aura only increased the size of the blade a little.

“M-master… what is that…?”

But the Aura Blade enveloping that sword far exceeded the length of a longsword.

It had reached the size of a gigantic greatsword. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Even the energy it radiated was terrifying.

As someone had once said, increasing the size of aura was inefficient.

It felt as though simply bringing a hand close to it would result in it being cut off instantly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

In that sense, it meant that Ludwig’s strength had increased.

But that was only true when using aura alone.

At the level of Aura Blade, things were different.

The size of an Aura Blade was used to measure a swordsman’s skill.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“…I don’t know.”

But.

“Huh?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

Even Ludwig himself looked bewildered.

“I don’t know. antique What is this?”

“It’s scary.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

***

“……”

The fact that he said it with complete sincerity made the whole thing even more absurd.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

“Cough! silence Cough! acquire Ugh… It itches. arctic It itches so much. album I shouldn’t have checked.”

He was clearing part of the forest to make a huge amount of charcoal.

Meanwhile, somewhere else in the world, Grills, who had sent the sword outside.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

‘Though I wonder who that person is for the head moderator to personally ask me to give it to them?’

A sword was something he could forge again.

‘It doesn’t matter. arctic I can always make another sword.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 125: Hell (2) by Indra Translations.

When they get to where I am, I’ll ask them.

He felt a little curious.
