My Villains Episode 117

30. Holiday (2)

I don’t know if this is a misunderstanding, but it seems like there are a lot of talkative people in this neighborhood.

“The lord has been asking me to make a wound healing potion so much for some time now that I’ve lost all my remaining black hair.”

“Is there anything missing?”

“Oh, it’s to the point where it’s quicker to say what you’re ready for than to explain what’s lacking. If I had the talent to make a wound healing potion without troll blood, I would have been in the royal capital, not this rural village. My lord, you lack common sense in this area. Oh, I’m sorry, ma’am. Anyway, you know what kind of summoning art alchemy is.”

Ellen, who was munching on a scone, smiled softly at Master Casswright’s joke.

Ellen’s smile.

It was so beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off it, as it was hard to see.

“Our teacher often said that too. “There are too many ignorant people who think that alchemy is a summoning art.”

“This is a common conflict faced by wizards who research alchemy for nobles. “Alchemy and magic have little to do with it.”

“that’s right. So, have you had any results?”

“I tried replacing the troll’s blood with royal jelly, gujeolcho, and cow horn, but they didn’t match well. I think the problem is the cow’s horns. I think I need a unicorn horn to make a proper product… …

Ellen, who was blowing on a chocolate bar, narrowed her eyes.

“Instead of troll blood, unicorn horn?”

“Yeah, I know. That’s stupid. Because you can’t make a wound healing potion from a unicorn horn. “The process of failure these days is like this.”

Master Casswright drooped his shoulders and sighed. Ellen, who was fiddling with her teacup, hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth.

“How about using orange moss instead of scallions and cow horns?”

“Orange moss? “It’s not easy to show weakness.”

“I know a good way to handle it. Can I help?”

“Oh, be kind too. Would you please? Oh, you said there’s a potion you’re researching these days, right? “Did you bring it?”

“yes.”

“Then let’s see that together too.”

The two wizards, in unison, rushed to the experiment table as if they had forgotten the presence of the Baroness and me.

“Hmm, you look really happy.”

“That’s right. “He’s not the kind of guy who usually does that.”

The Baroness quietly looked at Ellen floating in the air, flashing her wing decorations.

“I feel it every time I see you, you are such a beautiful person. “It makes me wonder if an angel next to the Lord would look like that.”

As I nodded quietly, the Baroness added.

“I hope you like it.”

“••••••yes?”

“I hope you like it. “For having such a beautiful lover.”

” ah.”

I smiled awkwardly and shrugged my shoulders.

“I understand why you have such a misunderstanding, but we are not in that kind of relationship.”

“… … “No?”

“yes. A colleague. “Ah, very close.”

“A close colleague… …

As the Baroness muttered that, the two wizards began to light a fire in the oven.

As Master Castrite chanted a spell and scattered an unknown powder, the fire turned blue and the cauldron boiled in an instant.

Orange smoke continued to escape through the chimney, but in the blink of an eye, the room filled with smoke.

The Baroness covered her mouth and coughed softly,

“Well, how about we go out for a while?”

“… … Um, sure.”

After leaving the laboratory, the Baroness took a breath of fresh air and shook her head.

“Master Castrite, sometimes when you’re immersed in something, you tend to not be able to look at your surroundings.”

“Aren’t all wizards like that? “Ellen is also very focused.”

“Maybe something like that.”

The August sun was hot. As I flapped my loose tunic, I suddenly asked the Baroness:

“By the way, aren’t you hot?”

The reason I asked that question was because of the Baroness’s attire.

Just wearing a scarf in the middle of summer looks stuffy, because the whole body is tightly wrapped in a white kirtle and green tunic. Plus a pair of gloves made of soft fabric, which was definitely not an outfit suitable for summer.

“are you okay. “I’ve gotten used to this.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to at least take off your gloves?”

M U 99 “司三

The Baroness played with the gloves on her hands for a moment. Then she slowly takes off her gloves.

Both palms and wrists were bruised black and white.

“… … uh. sorry. “I was rude.”

“No, not rude.”

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

… … Ah, you shouldn’t meddle in other people’s family affairs.

“How did you do that?”

“… … “It’s no big deal.”

His tail drooped and his gaze was directed to the floor. The sorrowful face has a dark expression, so my sympathy is doubled.

“Can I take a look?”

“yes?”

“As you know, I am a blood magician. “If it’s okay with you, I’d like to take a look at it for a moment.”

The Baroness hesitated for a moment and then held out her hand. I held his hand carefully.

As I leveled up two days ago, I invested points into ‘Hot Blood’. ‘Hot Blood’ was a skill that allowed me to exert control over nearby blood that was not my own.

As my skill level had already reached 3 points, I could feel the blood flowing quite clearly through my thin skin.

As I concentrated, the blood spreading under my skin came under my control. I carefully scattered the blood, raised my energy, and cleaned the area where the blood had escaped.

“oh.”

As the bruise disappeared as if it had been washed away, the Baroness took a deep breath.

Wow, this is your first time actually succeeding? I’m proud.

I looked down into his dark green eyes and smiled.

“How are you? “It doesn’t hurt anymore, does it?”

Is it because the sun is hot?

The baroness’s pale face turned bright red.

“… … So, I realized that if I repeat the process of applying heat and then applying cold again, the weakness actually revives.”

Ellen sat on my arm and chattered like a lark.

“so? Was there any result?”

“We still have to wait and see for a few more days, but I think it’s good to look forward to it. “You can infer the result to some extent just by looking at the smell or color.”

It seems like making potions with Master Castrite was quite fun. As we walked back to her tavern, Ellen’s voice seemed to brighten up a bit.

… … Now that I think about it, it felt like it had been a long time since I had seen something like this.

Before, he would occasionally, very occasionally, smile brightly or make jokes, but he hadn’t been like this since he left South Harbor.

“It looks like you like Master Casswright?”

“I told you. “I don’t think he’s a bad person.”

“Let’s go out often. As for the east in Longville.”

“But there are still scores.”

“are you okay. “Let’s take it easy until the lord makes his move.”

As a result of hunting for the past week, Ellen and I each rose by one level.

In addition, by killing numerous goblins, orcs, and Anupads, the total score was 348 points. There isn’t much difference from the two teams below, but they are already in 3rd place, so even if they take it a little easier, they will still be able to receive the prize.

“But, it may not have much effect. “Because it is a new recipe, it may not be effective or the side effects may be too great.”

“doesn’t care. “As long as you’re happy, that’s fine.”

“huh?”

“I don’t know how long it’s been since you looked this happy. That’s enough, let’s go hang out often.”

Ellen quietly looked at my face and then opened her mouth.

“Sometimes.”

” huh?”

“Sometimes I wonder if it’s okay to be like this.”

What do you mean ‘even if this happens’? “What is it like?”

Ellen pursed her lips for a moment, then shook her head,

“No, no.”

He said that and smiled. It was a lonely smile that I had never seen before.

The next day, while out hunting, I stopped by the bulletin board. And she found herself in a completely unexpected situation.

1. Atilia –

567 points

2. Randall

523 points

3. Norman

474 points

4. Sorgil –

383 points

5. Edwin –

378 points

My name, which was in third place until yesterday, was removed from the bulletin board in just one day.

I approached Veldin, a young scribe with whom I was now quite friendly, and asked.

“What’s happening? Atilia was at 200 points a few days ago, right?”

“They say that the Nude people have been deep in the mountains.”

“Deep in the mountains?”

“yes. “I came back after almost a week and gained close to 300 points.”

Crazy, I’m laughing out loud.

“300 points in one week? “Didn’t you go somewhere else and buy the remains?”

“It didn’t look that old. Lately, greenskins and Anupads have been appearing around here… …

Veldin, who said that, shrugged his shoulders.

“Also, it’s a bit strange for Lord Phoenix to say something like that. Sir Phoenix’s group scored 348 points in just one week. “There are a small number of people.”

“Hey, it’s us… … . That’s it. What is that Edwin? “Is this your first name?” “Ah, that is a gang that has been active for a long time and has not just posted its name on the bulletin board. “This time we achieved quite a bit and came in 5th place.”

Utekwa Yi, who had been quietly frowning, opened his mouth.

“This is a disgrace. “It doesn’t make sense for a mother’s warrior to be pushed to hunting.”

Well, it’s not that bad, but I’m a little pissed too. Just yesterday, I told Ellen to take it easy, but I guess I can’t do that.

“Phoenix. We must go deep. “Catch more monsters!”

«Uh 99 M三

I looked back in silence.

Amias’ gang.

They had changed a lot in just one week. The look in his eyes has become a little brighter, and his armor has improved considerably thanks to the amount of money he has earned so far.

And more than anything, my skills have improved a lot. To be honest, I accepted these guys to use them as meat shields when dealing with Queen Anupad, but I was a little surprised by their good growth.

Well, with this much power, it would be okay to go deeper into the mountain.

At that time, Veldin hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“But recently, the number of small-scale monsters wandering around has decreased significantly.”

“what?”

“It seemed like most of the small fish had been taken care of. I’m afraid it might be a bit dangerous since there are only big groups of them walking around these days… …

Utequai stood silently and then suddenly asked Veldin.

“How much is a troll?”

“yes? “A troll?”

“okay.”

“Uh, the troll hasn’t been caught yet… …

Veldin looked through the documents and picked one with his fingers.

“Wow, that’s 150 points.”

“150 points, good.”

Utequai looked back at me with burning eyes.

“what.”

“We have to catch the troll.”

“… … ha.”

It’s a troll.

If there is a troll that appears in this area, it is probably the third pick name of Chapter 3, ‘Boorang Troll Spurg’.

If you catch it with the mouse and keyboard, even a level 20 blood knight can control the troll. But from what I have experienced so far, reality is on a different level.

I suddenly asked Ellen.

“Ellen, what do you think?”

“… … “Well, I’ve never seen a troll in person, so I’m not sure.” The guy continued speaking with a cautious expression.

“If I assist with fire-type spells, the win rate will increase significantly. “Because trolls are weak to fire.”

“Hmm.”

After careful consideration, I nodded.

“good. Instead, never overdo it. If you don’t think it will work out… … “I just have to leave.”

Ellen and Utequoi nodded. However, neither of them looked like they would give up so easily.
