28. Longville (4)
The mercenaries laughed happily at the unexpected favor.
“Oh, I see you have some money?”
“But are you a knight? What’s with that armor?” There are three guys with swords on their waists, two guys with axes leaning on the table, and one guy with a dagger-sized bag on his waist.
“He’s a hedge knight. “I was lucky enough to pick up the armor.”
“Oh, as expected. “Did you get an article?”
“If you’re a wandering knight, you’re just a knight, aren’t you actually in the same situation as us?”
“That’s right, there’s virtually no difference.”
I smiled slightly and looked at the mercenaries closely.
It was a young party.
Was the oldest person in his late twenties? There was also someone who had acne on his face.
“So, knight Sir. “Is there something you have to do with us that you spent the silver coins on like that?”
The guy wearing the dagger asked with a smile on his face. Hmm, his eyes are quite sharp. They still seem wary of me.
“It’s my first time in Longville. “There are things I want to ask you.”
“You can ask the waitresses, right? “For two silver coins, I’ll tell you about my family history, my friends’ love affairs, and even take off my underwear as a bonus?”
Although everyone’s hands are rough, they don’t seem to have been nailed through long training. There are only two people with scars on their faces, and both of them have lifeless eyes.
He’s so shabby that he could kill anyone in two breaths if he wanted to. No, not this one.
“Hmm. Well, I guess so. But I don’t think I know the field I want to pursue.”
“What field do you want?”
“Hunting festival.”
The mercenaries’ eyes sparkle at my answer.
“Aha, did you come here for the hunting festival too?”
“I’m going to do both.” “Do you know anything?”
The woman whose eyes were sparkling when she saw me earlier quickly joins in.
“of course. “We also came here to make a fortune by hunting.”
“Oh, really? “Good.”
Brown eyes, brown hair, slim body. She was a smooth-looking woman with impressive freckles.
“By any chance, is the whole group that came in with you earlier?”
“Yeah, but?”
“You can’t do anything with that number of people? At first glance, the wizard also looked a bit young.”
“Hmm.”
When I closed my mouth, the woman looked back at her colleagues with an excited look on her face.
“This is what happened, how about putting it together for a moment? “Nine is much better than six.”
“Mira, stop. “I haven’t even made a full statement yet.”
When a sturdy man who appeared to be in his late twenties said that, Mira squinted at me while licking her lips. What the hell, you bitch.
I looked back at the mercenaries and shrugged.
“Now that I think about it, we don’t even know each other’s names yet. I’m Nick from Eyland. “What about you?”
The sturdy man touched his snub nose for a moment and then picked up his colleagues one by one.
“From here, Boonie, Steedman, Jenessa, Mira, and Cole. “I am Amias.”
Following Amias’ blunt introduction, Mira quickly added.
“Me, Amias and Cole are from Lidburn, and Boonie, Steedman and Jenessa are from Southernshire.”
“Southernshire?”
“Yeah, do you know where it is?”
Southernshire, Southernshire. I’ve heard this a lot somewhere. What was it?
Oh right! Southernshire!
“Do you guys know ‘Lavalton’?”
At my question, the three mercenaries from Southernshire made eye contact.
“… … “It’s our hometown.” Wow, this is an amazing relationship.
“How do you know about a village that has nothing to show off?”
I recalled the story I heard from Sir Ariad.
“Uh, I heard it from a friend. “I heard the lake there is so beautiful?”
Steedman, a man with a shaved head, smiled.
“Fairview Lake? Yes, that one lake is worth looking at.”
“I heard there are a lot of trout.”
“that’s right. I used to go trout fishing with these guys when the cold October wind blew. “There was no other delicacy better than making a fire and grilling it.”
The faces of the mercenaries from Lavalton were filled with memories.
What kind of expression will these guys make when you take out the Lavalton Manor title certificate?
With a little money and effort, I was able to gather enough information about hunting festivals. And, I heard a story that only circulated among mercenaries. It seemed like it was well worth the money.
After finishing my business, I was about to get up, but a woman who looked like Mia or Mummy grabbed me. While heavily intoxicated with high-alcohol mead.
It didn’t really matter up to that point, but Ellen, who was sneaking down from the second floor after taking a bath, witnessed the sight.
The moment I raised my head and made eye contact with him, feeling somewhat creepy, I stuttered without realizing it.
“Uh, wait a minute. hey!”
Ellen flew into the air without saying a word.
And then, the descent.
Whoa!
I feel this every time, the visual effect of floating in the air while wearing a robe is incredibly impressive.
It means it looks like X or three.
“Uh, uhh! What is this?”
“Magic, magic!”
As Ellen landed on the first floor, the wind blew around the room, knocking over drinks and throwing chairs around. It was because he had increased her magical power.
Because the hood of the robe had been removed before he knew it, his abundant, wet hair was slowly swaying.
Compared to the chaos everywhere, Ellen’s surroundings were extremely quiet.
The guy stared at Mia and muttered in a cold voice.
“… … “What is this?”
“Hey, why are you acting like that all of a sudden?”
“You shut up.”
Mia, facing sapphire-like eyes, turned blue and pursed her lips.
“I, I, that.”
“Let go of that.”
“Eh, yes?”
“Let go. “If you don’t want to get fired.”
Only then did Mia startle, let go of my wrist and took a step back.
Next Ellen looked at me and said,
“Follow me.”
After saying that, he turned around.
Not only Mia and her group, but all the guests on the first floor were following him with their eyes with their mouths open.
My stomach is definitely dry now.
Ellen didn’t say much, unexpectedly. She just sat down on the bed, stretched out her legs, and said, “My legs hurt.”
He ended up saying that.
The bundle tied to the bed was holding its breath between the blankets, as if sensing that the atmosphere was unusual.
After taking off the armor, I massaged his legs. While quietly massaging my calf, I suddenly opened my mouth.
“But Ellen.”
“No, be quiet.”
“… … “We haven’t even started talking yet?”
“Then stay quiet.”
Are you mentally ill… … .
I was silent for a while, but when the massage was over, I quickly spoke up.
“I learned about hunting festivals.”
so?” “First of all, if you catch a monster nearby and cut off its nose or ears, you can receive a bounty.”
“Is that the end?”
“no. Goblins score 1 point, Anupad 3 points, Orcs 5 points, etc. “It is said that the Baron gives separate gifts to those who earn the most points.”
Ellen immediately frowned at my explanation.
“What is it? Slaying monsters is no joke.”
“therefore. “Don’t you hit me a little hard?”
The hunting festival was something that did not exist in games. This funny thing probably happened because the robber baron died and Longville remained intact.
Ellen lay down, spreading her hair on the pillow. She then covered herself with a blanket and said:
“It is natural to give a reward to someone who has made a contribution. But why bother using that method?”
“Except for Anupad’s army sitting on the road, the rest are all small groups.”
“so?”
“It’s difficult to subdue it with the military, so we outsource it to mercenaries.”
“Outsourcing?”
“huh. Instead of hiring mercenaries directly, they increased the bounty. That’s why the bounty was really high. It’s one silver coin per goblin. “The orc costs one gold coin.”
“Then, the lord told us to prove our skills.”
“It means catching monsters. a lot.”
After blowing out the candles, I also lay down on the bed. The bundle goes straight into the side. She continued speaking while rubbing the man’s back.
“I heard that a lot of mercenaries gathered because the bounty was high. “The competition must be pretty intense.”
“… … “Your rank must be quite high to satisfy the lord, right?”
“Let’s not put too much pressure on it. “If you don’t think it will work out, you can just stand out.”
“Is that okay? “From what I heard the lord say, it sounds like Prince Ulkar’s face will be tarnished if he runs away.” “Is the prince’s reputation a bit high? “I’ll just laugh it off.”
“You don’t know that. “He might try to kill you to get his honor back.”
I let out a small laugh. It seemed unlikely that Prince Ulkar would act like a moth over something like that.
“Hmm, but it would be better to resolve it well if possible. “I have to climb Mount Graduil anyway.”
“••••••okay.”
A short silence followed. After taking a while, I was about to open my mouth, but Ellen struck me like a ghost.
“trunnion.”
“huh?” “Just in case, I’m not jealous or anything like that.”
I laughed and laughed.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I’m just saying this just in case. “I’m afraid you might misunderstand.”
Ellen tossed and turned for a moment, then turned around and lay down.
While soothing the lump in my head with my hand, I suddenly asked a question.
“Then why did you do that? Unless it’s because of jealousy?”
“… … “You’re getting involved with something so absurd.”
“Haha, what nonsense?”
“You’re ugly. “He was a mercenary, and he looked rough at first glance.”
“Can’t I get involved with a girl like that?”
“of course.”
“why?”
“… … What if I get sick? So, if I move too, will you take responsibility?”
Suddenly, a mischievous spirit arises.
“What if I take responsibility?”
Silence without a single sound of breathing.
“Why is there no answer? “Can’t I take responsibility for you?”
“••••••that is.”
“What is that?”
“Why do you suddenly, suddenly say that?”
Uh, the reaction is a bit serious.
For a moment, I had the feeling that if I played around any longer, I would cross a river from which I could not return.
“Well, I took care of you every time you were sick. “You didn’t like that?”
“……uh?”
“I took care of you every time you got sick or had a fever. “If you get sick again, I will take care of you.”
Wow, your quickness is crazy. I almost got in real trouble,
“… … so.”
” huh?”
“Are you sure you’re going to get sick?”
“……uh?”
“You’re going to play around with nonsense and then move it to me?”
“Hey, how does the story turn out like that?”
“So what should the story be like?”
“I will continue to take good care of you, that’s what I said.”
“Why are you suddenly saying that? “You’re stupid, don’t say anything-”
The first night in Longville passed peacefully as usual.
