My Villains Episode 124

33. Wizards and Druids (4)

“… … “Where are you coming from?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

I continued speaking, shaking off the leaves from my head and shoulders.

“Well, while I was looking around the lord’s residence, the lord suddenly appeared.

“There was no benefit to me if I ran into him, so I hid for a while.”

“I wonder if they are going to hide it from each other. “Prince Eun will really like it.”

Ellen shook her head and flew into my arms. I quickly adjusted my appearance and picked him up in my arms.

“It paid off.”

“result? “What achievement?”

“… … Did you forget it already? “A potion of blurriness.”

“Oh right. What happened? “Is this true that Master Casswright made it?” Ellen, who was about to answer her question, twitched her nose for a moment and narrowed her eyes.

“What is this smell?”

“uh? smell?”

Ellen pulls the collar of my tunic and touches it to her nose, then tilts her head.

“Did you spray perfume?”

“What is perfume? “I must have smelled it while sitting in the bush.”

“What kind of bush is this that gives off this scent?”

“Well, well… …

Running out of things to say, I shook my head and changed the subject.

“The smell isn’t important right now. So, that blurriness potion was created by Master Castrite?”

“… … Well, almost certainly. The glass bottle used seems to have come from the same workshop, and there was also evidence that Bogart’s beard had been worn recently.”

“okay? Hmm.”

So, did the lord really instigate Joe’s gang to deal with Atalanta and the Nudein mercenaries?

From what I overheard earlier, it looks like there are some people working outside of Joe’s gang. I need to find out more about the lord’s younger brother.

And as for Count Tristan, well, I have no way of knowing. After listening to the story, it seemed like the Count Tristan was one of the great nobles who were beaten by Prince Ulcar… … .

“And, Poi.”

“huh?”

“Do you remember how we made a wound healing potion in the lab two days ago?”

“Oh, a new recipe? “Did you succeed?”

“It wasn’t a success, but I still came out with something useful.” As he said that, he took out a small glass bottle from his sling bag. Dark red colored contents… … .

“Not a success? “It looks fine on the outside?”

“The effect is a little lacking and the side effects are severe… …

After listening to Ellen’s explanation, the lack of effectiveness was not a big problem. Since the version itself is so effective, I don’t think it’s something to look down on just because it’s a little less than that.

The problem is the side effects.

Ellen continued her explanation while handing me a glass bottle.

“If you drink it or spray it, you will feel extremely hungry.”

“That’s how it used to be, right? “I’m just a little hungry.”

“It’s not that bad, it’s like I’ve starved for a few days and I can’t use my strength. “It’s a side effect of not using troll blood.”

Well, after listening to the explanation, the potion’s healing effect seemed to be quite similar to the regenerative ability of my passive skill, ‘Running Blood’. This means that a significant amount of calories are consumed to recover from the wound.

I held the glass bottle up to the sun and shook it a few times. A semi-mucusy, sticky liquid swirls slowly.

“Well, at least this will serve as an extra life. But is one bottle all it takes?”

“All I got was one bottle. If you want more, you have to buy it from Master Casswright.”

“money? “You made this, right?”

“The materials and laboratory were all from Master Cass Wright. “You might be able to buy it cheaper instead.”

Yeah, whatever. Because there is a lot of money.

I went back to the lab thinking this, and the amount suggested by Master Castrite far exceeded my expectations.

“… … Fifty pieces of silver, you mean? In one bottle?”

When I asked with my mouth open, the generous-looking wizard smiled bitterly as if he was sorry.

“Don’t be too upset, Lord Phoenix. “That price barely covers the cost of materials.”

I glanced back at Ellen, and she nodded as if it were true.

“Off” O •

I groaned, pulled out my money bag, and roughly counted the money.

There were about forty gold coins and a little less than three hundred silver coins. Although I had been spending money a bit recklessly, the income was so good that I had enough money.

I paid with an appropriate amount of gold and silver coins and was able to get three bottles of potion. I wanted to buy all the remaining potions, but I had no choice but to give up because I was told I had to give the rest to the lord.

On the way back from the laboratory, I met Sir Killian, Longville’s only knight.

“It’s been a while, Lord Phoenix. I heard the news. “Your performance at the hunting festival was amazing?”

After exchanging simple greetings, I brought up what I wanted to ask him.

“I heard you are planning to attack Anupad’s army.”

“Ah, I guess you heard me too.”

Sir Killian shook his head towards me and Ellen.

“The suppression of monsters is definitely a military operation. “Because we have to use mercenaries, there is no way to prevent information from leaking.”

“I understand. After hearing the story roughly, it seemed like all the mercenaries in Longville were participating in the subjugation.”

I added with a shrug.

“Except us.”

w……O ugh”

—”Five three

Sir Killian hesitated for a moment and sent the training leader and squire who were accompanying him to the manor house first.

“Sir, I have something to ask you first.”

As I looked puzzled, Sir Killian got off his horse and asked a question.

“Are you targeting Longville, by any chance?”

“••••••yes?”

“I heard your score was very high. “Are you planning on taking Longville?”

I’m laughing out loud. What is this guy saying?

“What on earth are you talking about? “The reason I participated in the hunting festival in the first place was because of the lord’s cooperation, um, request.”

“Of course I know. But it wouldn’t be strange to say that while hunting monsters, I developed a different mindset.”

“If you have other feelings.”

“I came to think that the effort I had put in was too much to exchange for a few silver coins.”

I quietly looked into Sir Killian’s eyes. Black eyes mixed with green. There was no sense of malice or suspicion.

“There is no relative who can be named as the former lord’s heir. I myself have no desire to become an adopted son, much less have any desire for this territory. “I just want to drive away the monsters and climb the mountain.”

“… … “If that’s the case, I’m glad.”

The middle-aged knight, who was walking quietly pulling on the reins, sighed deeply.

“But the Baron thinks differently. “He’s anxious that he might win the Wonderful Hunting Festival and claim ownership of the territory.”

“… … Ha, if that’s the case, you shouldn’t have staked your territory in the first place. Or don’t drag me into the hunting festival.” “I agree. But the Baron has a hard time maintaining his senses when it comes to matters related to Prince Ulkar. Well, the price of the family… …

Sir Killian closed his mouth for a moment, then stroked his mustache and opened his mouth again.

“Anyway, if you participate in the subjugation led by the Baron, you will receive three times the usual score.”

“… … “Three times as much?”

“exactly. “You want to completely erase your name from the bulletin board.”

“Why so much?”

“It’s because they think that’s the fairest way. “He is a very faithful person and hates trickery.”

The right way is shit.

“What happens if I say I will participate in the subjugation?”

Sir Killian burst into laughter.

“Huh, you’re saying you’re going to go find him on your own? “Then the Baron will at least dance.”

… … I see

If Baron Mallory drags me by force, I will have the right to lie down on my stomach. I am Prince Ulkar’s knight, not the Baron’s knight.

However, if I ask you to participate in the subjugation, you will be placed under the Baron’s command, at least temporarily. Of course, that would be putting my life in the hands of the Baron.

When I seemed lost in thought, Sir Killian spoke with a serious expression.

“I am giving this advice out of courtesy to Prince Ulkar and Sir… … . “Why not leave Longville?”

“The Baron is anxious to humiliate the Lord. If you leave quietly, I will do my best to stop the Baron from spreading false rumors.”

The middle-aged knight who spoke like that seemed somewhat weak.

“I hope you judge carefully and make the right choice.”

After checking the equipment and supplies and completing training, I washed my body and laid down on the bed.

Ellen across from me was already asleep. She used to be the type of person who only slept a lot in the morning, but these days she seems to be spending more time sleeping.

Kuiyi.

As if I liked the feel of the soft new clothes, the lump dug into my armpit and rubbed my forehead.

“Hey, just stay still.”

While I was wiping off the remaining moisture from his fur with a towel, the bundle let itself into my hands and made a pleasant sound. The body hanging down is completely out of character.

“Uuu, you think it’s sweet if it’s cute?” Coop.

I couldn’t resist the urge and fed belly fat to my chubby belly. Unable to bear the tickling, the bundle screamed and flailed on all fours.

It was a peaceful night like any other, but I had been thinking about Lord Killian’s advice from earlier.

In the game, Chapter 3 consisted of four picknams and a boss monster.

The first pick, ‘Warrior Mordor’, was killed yesterday, and the third pick, ‘Robber Baron Al Bianne’, died in a battle in South Harbor.

There was nothing unusual about Mordor, but the robber baron’s early death completely changed the scenario.

Longville, which should have been occupied by magic bandits, was peaceful in its own way, and the Baroness, who should have been kidnapped, was safe.

Thanks to this, Baron Mallory was able to handle the monsters rampant on Mount Graduil quite well. By holding an unprecedented event called a hunting festival.

From what I heard, there are about 400 troops gathered for this subjugation. There are many skilled mercenaries, so if we do well, we may be able to drive out Anupad’s army. Because the remnants of the magic bandits won’t join like in the game.

In this situation, is there any need for me to remain in Longville? It seems like the lord is trying to harm me somehow?

Wouldn’t it be okay to just stay in a mountain cabin or somewhere else and then secretly climb the mountain when the situation is over?

The lump writhed around my leg and bit my hand. It wasn’t so bad that it hurt, but I could feel my jaw gaining quite a bit of strength.

“Hey, have you grown up a lot?”

Kuek.

“It’s a bunch.”

The crowd reacted probably because it was a very familiar name now. I think I heard that pigs can’t see the sky, but this guy raised his head high.

I said, gently groping its tusks.

“Hey, if it gets up to your nose, I’ll release it.”

The bundle quietly blinked its eyes.

The boar’s eyes and surrounding area were all black, so when it blinked its eyelids, it felt like a black furry ball wriggling around. I quietly looked down into his eyes and smiled.

“Why are you looking at me like that? “Do you want to go into kimchi stew?”

As if he understood what I was saying, he buried his snout in my arms.

“They say that once you cross Mount Graduil, there aren’t many monsters and the plains are open. It’s probably similar to the one near Inbury. You know Inberry, right? “Your hometown.”

Even as I muttered to myself, the lump just rubbed its snout against my stomach and didn’t react in any way.

Yes, my goal is to climb Mount Graduil. Let’s put aside thinking about the scenario for a moment and just do what needs to be done.

You should deal with the soul shaman who is working on his work at the top of Mt. Graduil, hide nearby, and run away when the way opens.

After organizing my thoughts, I felt at ease. As I fell into a deep sleep, I saw a new character sheet in my dream.

It was the fourth character sheet, following mine, Ellen, and Utequai’s.
