My Villains Episode 121

32. Wizards and Druids (1)

Oh my.

I opened my eyes to the sound of a dead babpuri crying.

Let’s wake up. I have to go to a part-time job.

Muttered dozens of times. I just got up from my seat.

The smartphone rang loudly.

Sender, Yoo Hee-won.

-I heard you were discharged?

A bright voice like always.

It was like this when I broke up with you over the phone.

-Why didn’t you go back to school this semester?

A raucous laugh was heard at the words I roughly picked up.

-I still can’t speak.

I should have cursed and hung up, but I couldn’t do that.

-Do you know what play is being played this time?

-Hey, what if I was the vice president of the university and didn’t even know that? How can you be so uninterested?

-I’m going to do Shakespeare’s Titus Andronikus. It’s a bit of a historical drama, so the props and costumes are a bit tight.

Little by little, the drama club’s affairs were explained. I sat down and listened to it like a fool.

-I haven’t even gone back to school. I’ll have a lot of time, so come and help me.

In the end, it was because of this.

But, like always, I couldn’t refuse. That’s what Heewon said. I could hardly refuse.

-Is that where you used to live alone?

-Oh, next to it? Oh, I know, I know. Then, I’ll go out to play sometime.

I laughed and hung up the phone.

Uh, I need to wake up soon, right?

Oh my.

“You stupid bastard.”

A boy petting a cat.

A sparkling true silver crown, a devil’s robe with stars shining through it, blue eyes and wavy blonde hair… … .

A beautiful, somewhat familiar face.

“… … “Trickster man?”

“Stop talking about that old man. “In terms of looks, he’s about the age of your nephew, and in terms of age, he’s twice as old as your great-great-grandfather. How long are you going to stick with him?”

I vowed dozens or hundreds of times that whenever I met a boy, I would swear at him and grab him by the collar. However, now I have become as stiff as a mouse in front of a cat.

The boy sighed.

“No, I’m not in a position to criticize you.”

“Well, what is that?”

“Is this new life worth living?”

I gritted my teeth.

“No, it sucks.”

“… … I guess so. It’s that kind of world. “How about you want to go back?”

“of course,”

Ellen’s face comes to mind in an instant.

“I’m confused. But I can’t go back anyway.”

“why?”

“Because I was invited. “She can’t go back on her own.”

A fire rising from the chest.

“invite? “Did you just say you were invited?”

“… … I know you’re angry. However, the requirements were met.”

“X-arm, you swindler.”

Suddenly, a loud noise rings out and everything turns upside down.

The boy floats.

“I advise you not to cling to your old life. “Focus on your life now.”

“Mr. Lee, say something I can understand!”

The boy gave me something to eat.

“Kim Seung-su is dead.”

“… … what? “What kind of point is that?”

Clink, the world fell into pieces.

“Ha, ha, ha!”

When I suddenly raised my upper body, the bundle hanging on my side let out a loud cry.

“What, what, fuck… …

what? What was it? What dream is this?

As I struggled to catch my breath and fidgeted, the scared bundle curled up. I held the bundle in my arms and gently comforted it.

In the nearly four months since I fell into this world, I have not had a single dream.

To be exact, it’s not that I didn’t dream. If it were a dream, a character sheet would appear in an empty space and distribute bonuses, it would be a dream.

But today, for the first time, I had a real dream.

“… … “Why Trickster?”

trickster.

This is the bastard I met in the Dark World right before falling into this world. The same kid who used nuclear weapons to kill the ‘Pique Application Note’ and made a fuss about invitations and all.

But why did the trickster appear in my dream? and,

“… … “I’m dead?”

My head gets hot from thinking about bullshit that I don’t understand. As she gently stroked the tuft of fur that had died, her heart calmed down a bit.

Yesterday, I had a hard time sleeping because of Atalanta. That’s probably why I had the dog dream. AC, you’d rather have dirty dreams.

I muttered to myself and got up from my seat. Ellen across from her was still sound asleep.

I moved slowly, holding my breath. As I was about to leave the room, I suddenly turned my gaze towards where I had taken off my armor and froze.

“… … uh,”

There, there were objects that couldn’t exist.

A luxurious belt with smooth black scales.

It is the equipment used by the level 95 blood knight, ‘Pique Request Note’, and is one of the ‘Death King’ sets, “… … “The Death King’s scale band.”

I had goosebumps all over my body and screamed silently.

All abilities increase by 1, strong resistance to poison, resistance to penetration, increased power of blood fighting techniques, and small increase in blood energy.

These are the specifications of the ‘Death King’s Scale Belt’ that remain in my mind. I think the level limit was quite high, but in reality, I didn’t feel any problem even when I wore it around my waist.

“so.”

Ellen, who was digging through the fried fritters mixed with green beans and potatoes, suddenly opened her mouth.

“Where did such a thing suddenly come from?”

“Uh, that is.”

I took a sip of the bland beer and shrugged.

“Well, I went out for a short walk early in the morning.”

“……also?”

“Or something. “I took a bundle out and bought it from a certain merchant.”

“merchant?”

Ellen made a slightly strange expression.

“What kind of merchant are you to sell such items?”

“I don’t know either. Uh, I think they said they were going to Lemeric. Is it a bit quiet over there these days? There were quite a few magic bandits in the Lidburn region.”

Ellen muttered silently at my gibberish and then nodded.

“If that’s you, then that’s probably it.”

Hmm, those words are very prickly on my conscience.

Utequwai, who was eating a roasted guinea fowl stuffed with chestnuts, onions, and mushrooms next to him, opened his mouth.

“The important thing is not the belt. “We have to chase the troll quickly.”

“… … Well, well. “Is there any need to push yourself?”

“What are you talking about, Poynix? “Your name is on the bulletin board, but you can’t let down your guard.”

Ute Kwai’s answer reminded me of the status of the bulletin board that I checked immediately after returning yesterday.

Since Atilia’s gang is virtually neutralized, the score will not increase further. Randall and Norman’s gang won’t increase their scores as quickly as we do.

In other words, if you catch monsters the size of the Mordor group you caught yesterday, you can become number one in no time.

I shrugged at Utequoi.

“Of course it’s good to catch a troll and get 150 points. However, if you go that deep and encounter large-scale enemies two or three times, you will definitely hit every single one of them. “Either die.”

In yesterday’s battle, Steedman’s hand was almost torn to pieces, and the rest of the mercenaries also suffered major and minor injuries.

The shoulder that was injured by Mordor worsened during the battle with Atalanta, to the point where I could barely move my arm.

Thanks to this, I had to pay 40 silver coins to receive treatment at the church. They didn’t even give me a discount because it wasn’t an exhibition.

“Grunt.”

Utequoi was well aware of this situation. So he just emptied his beer glass with a dissatisfied expression on his face and didn’t show any particular stubbornness.

As we were finishing our meal, we received an unexpected visit.

“Atal, or Attilia?” The person who came to the Golden Sword Inn was none other than Atalanta, the vision hunter. She came with two Nu Dane warriors and smiled and waved her hand.

“Hello, Nyx. “Can I sit down for a moment?”

“Uh, um.”

“thank you.”

Just like when we met at the mountain cabin, Atalanta pulled out a chair and sat down before I could respond.

One thing that was different was that she sat next to me, not across from me. To be exact, between me and Ellen.

Ellen was not one to watch quietly.

“… … “What are you doing?”

“huh? what?”

“Who can you sit next to? “Why don’t you get out of the way?”

As Ellen frowned, Atalanta clicked her tongue as if she felt sorry.

“Tsk, it’s ugly.”

“••••••What, what?’’

“A jealous person is unattractive. “Why don’t you at least try to hide it?”

As Ellen, who was speechless, licked her pink lips silently, Atalanta quickly turned her head and whirled.

“I came because I have a suggestion to make.”

“What do you suggest? No, before that, why did you come here? “What if I get caught by the lord?”

Atalanta shrugged her shoulders in response to my question.

“I pretended nothing happened. “A group of mercenaries disappearing. It’s a common occurrence in this town, right?”

“… … “Your liver is also big.”

“We are in a hurry too.”

Atalanta was dressed in light clothing and wore only an iron scale protector on her left arm.

‘Guardian of reflection’. As it is rare armor, it is quite useful, and even at first glance, it gave off the feeling that it was a valuable item.

But what caught my attention more than the braces were the smooth abs, cute belly button, and strong thighs… … .

Oh, no. When having a conversation, you have to look the other person in the eyes!

“As you know, we had a rough time yesterday.”

“Well, I’m sorry about what happened yesterday.”

“… … Well, I think it’s fortunate that at least a few people’s lives were saved.”

Atalanta continued speaking, removing the shadow from her face.

“Anyway, I have a suggestion.”

“What?”

“I want to buy points.”

“… … “Score?”

What kind of nonsense is he talking about? Points from the hunting festival cannot be traded?

“You look like you don’t understand. Well, to be exact. Yes, I want to buy achievements.”

“Oh, so… … “You want to buy an ear?”

“that’s right. Converting it into points, I will give you three silver coins for each point.”

“One point is three silver coins.”

Well, the price isn’t bad?

“But, we also need to score some points.”

“I heard the story. “I heard you were threatened by the lord?”

“•••Where did you hear that?”

“There are many people from our clan nearby. “Information is relatively fast.”

Now that I think about it, it seems like there were at least one or two Nude people near the fence or in every corner of the residential area.

There were so many different types of people, from people who sold labor in farming, to people who sold miscellaneous items for sale, to people who sold things that shouldn’t be sold.

“Well, if possible, would you mind saying that you were asked, not threatened?” “I’ll do whatever’s convenient for you. Anyway, your goal is not territory. yes?”

The bright brown eyes shone brightly.

“But first of all. “I guess your goal is territory?”

“that is.”

In response to my question, Atalanta slightly tilted her head towards me. His gray hair brushes his cheek, and the sensual scent of jasmine wafts in the air… … .

“As you all know, our clan needs a place to settle. And, Longville is a very nice place to live.”

“… … “If everyone knows, why are you talking about it so secretly?”

When I answered while whispering without realizing it, Atalanta huffed and responded with a small smile.

“Dwissam, no, you wizard. “What kind of expression are you making?”

“… … “It looks like your eyes will start spewing fire at any moment.”

“good.”

The woman with a satisfied smile straightened her back. Then she continued the conversation slyly.

“So, I’m not saying I’m going to buy all the points. Let us hunt and buy just enough results to keep us in first place when we return to Longville.”

“It sounds like you are trying to make a profit very frugally.”

“If I don’t like it, should I just buy it for half the points?”

“Um, well?”

As I scratched my eyebrows with an ambiguous expression, Atalanta gently gave me a hug.

“As I already said, I will give you three times the bounty the steward pays. There, me, Agos, and Vittorio will help with the hunting.” As Atalanta said, the two Nu Dane warriors who came with her glanced at her.

“Help with hunting?”

“okay. As well as me, Agos and Vittorio are the best warriors of our clan. Plus, I know the geography around here very well.”

“O” “S3

“And, we will not be divided. “Just give me the right to purchase the results I’ve earned.”

“You don’t get your share?”

“okay. “What we need is territory, and to get territory, we need points.”

At that time, Ellen, who was quietly huffing in the background, opened her mouth.

“You have big dreams too. Unless Baron Mallory is crazy, there’s no way he could adopt a Nudein. What’s more, something like that happened yesterday.”

“We’ll take care of that. “It’s none of your business.”

Unlike Atalanta, who was smiling, Ellen’s face was slightly red. Ellen was about to raise her voice when she glanced at me and lowered her voice.

“… … “What on earth do you believe in and are being so arrogant and irreverent?”

“You are arrogant and arrogant. Should I be polite to you? “What are you?”

Ellen, who cannot reveal her identity, remained silent for a moment.

“… … Even though I am, Poi is definitely a land lord. “He is a nobleman.”

“Oh, really? But when he greeted me, he just called me Nix. “Wouldn’t it be okay for him to be moderately rude if he gave me his nickname?”

Ellen shook her fists for a moment and then turned to look at me.

“I’ll tell you in advance, I’m against it.”

The guy added quickly.

“I’m not doing this because this woman is Nudein. “It means she has no reason to get involved in complicated matters.”

Atalanta quickly retorted.

“There’s nothing complicated. “You can just sell points and split when you think it’s going to be a problem.”

“Hmm.”

I scratched my eyebrows and looked back at Utequoi. Ute Kwai, who had his arms crossed, opened his mouth.

“Did you say you know the surrounding geography well?”

Atalanta, who received attention, quickly nodded.

“Sure. “I told you, we get information quickly.”

“Then do you know where the troll is?”

“troll? I can roughly guess. “I once found traces at the bottom of the highest peak in Graduil.”

Utequai responded cheerfully, tapping his knee.

“Phoenix, I agree! This woman knew her ways, and brought two warriors with her. “You can catch trolls.”

“You stupid savage.”

Atalanta smiled deeply at Utequai’s approval and Ellen’s murmurs.

“It’s one to one? “Then, what about our mercenaries?”

The Amias gang, who received Atalanta’s gaze, opened their mouths –

“You guys can’t talk! “Follow our decision!”

-I was about to close my mouth with a sullen expression due to Ute Kwai’s threats. Then he looked at me.

The eyes of six mercenaries, a wizard, a barbarian, and a female warrior focused on me.

“… … “Sigh.”

In the end, this is what happens.
