My Villains Episode 013

4. South Harbor (4)

“why? They say if you do something stupid, they’ll blow up the entire area? try.”

Oreg quietly looked at Ellen’s words, not sure if they were bravado or not.

Then he looked again at the robe he was wearing and swallowed.

“Could it be…is it really a magic tool?”

“If you’re curious, try it.”

Oreg slowly stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips.

What is it? What was so special about the robe Ellen wore? I thought it was just a plain brown robe… .

When Mr. Oreg glared at her with calm eyes, Ellen spun around and crossed her arms.

“why? You want to try it? “Do you think your life is a waste?”

“Hey, I told you to be careful what you say.” I tried to dissuade him and remember what kind of equipment he had put in the ‘Ganadara Wizard’ character… .

Ha, I really don’t know. It was more than six months ago, so there’s no way I can remember such details.

However, if that robe is the item I put in, it is definitely rare or higher, no, it is unique.

When farming with a character level 90 or higher, three to four unique items drop every hour.

So there is no way I could have taken the rare. There’s not enough inventory, and moving it around is a hassle.

Probably, among the unique items, they would have taken items that were suitable for an elemental wizard and had good performance and handed them over.

Well, I’m not very interested in farming, so I can’t guarantee that it’s top quality, but at least it won’t be a unique item in name only.

While I was thinking that, Mr. Oreg was looking at Ellen and Rob with cautious eyes.

I glanced around and looked at the robe… Looking at it closely, I felt that the build quality was pretty good, but I wasn’t sure if it was a unique item or not.

“What are you doing, old man? “Are you scared?”

Ellen looked so relaxed that it was hard to believe it was acting, so Mr. Ore took off his brown hat and wiped his sweaty forehead and said,

“•••Three silver coins. It’s a little more expensive than the market price, but I think it’s worth the advice I gave. “Business is so bad these days that I’m dying.”

Ellen frowned and was about to say something when she quickly stepped forward and blocked him.

“Oh, of course, Mr. Oreg. “Because information about unfamiliar places is valuable.”

“•••Thank you for knowing.”

This old man seems to have aged a few years.

Poor Mr. Oreg took the silver coin I gave him and added one word.

“It’s okay to call him a minister, but… If you find anything useful in the sewers, bring it back. “I’ll pay you a good price.”

Wow, they made this offer even after being threatened to burn down the store. Ellen is Ellen, but this old lady is no ordinary person either.

After saying hello to Mr. Oreg with a smile on my face, I led Ellen out of the store. Then he suddenly chopped up some honey chestnuts.

Perfect!

“ah! it hurts!”

“it hurts? “Do you know it hurts?”

“Why are you fucking doing this again!”

Anger soared at Ellen’s hostile attitude. Carrying two backpacks around me, I walked away while holding the guy’s cheeks without any questions or answers.

“Ah, continue!”

Ellen, whose cheek was pinched, struggled to get out of my hands. Of course, it was impossible for a superfluous human to shake me off.

“ah! Michinoma! Next, Norao!”

“Shut up, dude. “You really can’t do it.”

I walked forward with great strides, with the heart of a mother dragging her disobedient elementary school son.

Near a deserted dock, I threw down my backpack and stood face to face with Ellen.

“Ugh, it hurts!”

Perfect!

“evil!”

This time, I used a little more force, so the guy grabbed his forehead and shed tears.

Part of me wanted to give him a spanking, but he wasn’t that young, so I held back.

“What on earth do you believe and act like that?”

“Why are you doing this, all of a sudden?”

“You explain first. What do you mean by magic tools? You, Grove. “Was it a magic tool?”

Ellen, who was rubbing her forehead, glared at me with water droplets in her eyes and said.

“okay. “It’s a magic tool, why!”

“What is the effect?”

“•••Fire immunity and this and that.”

“Ha, you believe that?”

I’m honestly boiling inside. Can I have this guy as a colleague?

Honestly, it would have been better if the ability contained in the robe was something like ‘Sanctuary’, which spreads a shield over an area.

Even if it meant pouring a storm of cold air around the area, I would have been angry, but I would have understood.

But wow, what? Fire immunity?

“Then what if Oreg really exploded the orb?”

“what?”

“I am. “Aren’t I supposed to be dead?”

He looked puzzled for a moment at my question and then quickly asked back.

“Did you believe that threat?”

“What if you don’t believe it?”

“What kind of idiot blows himself up just to get a few extra bucks?”

“What if I did it? “Can you tell?”

“You didn’t do it in the end!”

Ah, it’s really hard to bear. Seriously, if this guy were a guy he would be half dead.

“Is this your colleague? ‘I don’t mind putting your life on the line. No matter what the outcome is, I won’t get hurt!’ “Are you a colleague who behaves like this?”

Ellen flinched for a moment at my emotionally mixed words, then tried to feign calmness and countered.

“I didn’t gamble, I just judged the situation correctly. And thanks to that decision, you saved me a piece of silver!”

“That’s a consequential story. Are you saying you risked my life for that one piece of silver? Without even discussing it with me! “Don’t you see how selfish and irresponsible this is?”

Hearing my words, he avoided eye contact and pouted his lips.

“Whoa.”

Let’s be patient. It is said that if you have three patience, you can avoid murder.

“And that’s not all.”

“••••••What else?”

“What if Oreg wants revenge because you behaved like that? Or if you get greedy for your robe?”

“It’s not that difficult. All you have to do is give a couple of gold coins to the local thugs and tell them to kill you and me and steal the robe. How easy is it? We are strangers anyway and are the ones leaving. is not it?”

“Do those robes protect against swords and clubs? “I don’t think you can block the window?”

Ellen bit her lip for a moment and rolled her eyes, then looked away and looked at me.

“… … How can you do something like that when you are a person who has been doing business in the city all your life? “That old man couldn’t have done something like that himself, and if he told someone else to do it, word would get out.”

“Everyone else is a potential robber or murderer? “How can you be so sure?”

“that… …

“It’s a big deal even if Oreg just spreads rumors. What if everyone in the city finds out that your robe is incredibly valuable? “Is it still okay?”

“That’s not right, but…

When he couldn’t find the words to reply and started to question me, I sighed and sat down on a nearby wooden plank.

After taking a moment to catch my breath and control my anger, I tapped the side.

“… … what.”

“Sit down.”

When I made a firm gesture again, he hesitated for a moment and eventually sat down next to me.

I held out my hand, remembering the method my mother used to scold me and my older sister when she scolded my nieces and nephews.

“Give me your hand.”

“What should I do?”

When he answered bluntly, I sighed and spoke in a serious tone.

“If you know I did something wrong, give me your hand.”

“… … “Why your hands?”

“hurry. If we don’t, we’re completely done here. “You go your way, and I go my way.” When the hesitating guy finally held out his hand, I stretched out my hands and folded them up and down. The small, delicate hand twitched and shrank.

I opened my mouth while holding his hands.

“There are things we must keep in order to be colleagues. “What is that?”

“It’s trust. Trust that we will not put each other in danger. What I want from you is not difficult. “I’m not asking you to die for me, and I’m not asking you to blindly follow what I say.”

“Trust is not that difficult. We just need to be a little considerate of each other. Will my current actions put the other person in danger, and what actions should I take to make both of us safe? “All you have to do is think about that.”

The guy remained silent, but his lowered eyes didn’t make it seem like he was ignoring what I was saying.

Skinship is so effective that you can close the psychological distance with the other person just by the simple act of holding hands.

Of course, basic trust must be assumed.

And when I thought about it, Ellen, despite her constant tics, clearly had some trust in me.

Ellen saving me was a part of what she did to protect her own life, but my saving Ellen was a purpose in itself.

Ellen must have known the difference.

I said to Ellen, hoping to transfer body heat through my folded hands.

“So, something like today must never happen again. Because it was an action that could possibly hurt me. “Rather than take that risk, it’s better to just pay a piece of silver.” “And I will act like that too. It means that you will not take unnecessary risks with your life. okay?”

w O ”……W

Okay, so it seems to have had some effect.

Now to end with a warm hug… .

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!

“what?”

Suddenly a bell rang from the tower.

It was a beat without any note, but the urgent beat alone completed the ominous performance.

“Hey, look over there!”

The place Ellen pointed was towards the sea.

As soon as I laid eyes on that place, I felt a shiver run down my spine.

“A pirate… … !”

As Ellen screamed and whispered, the entrance to the bay into South Harbor was filled with ships large and small.

I couldn’t count the small boats I had seen before, and there seemed to be at least ten large sailing ships with two or more sails.

“run!”

I quickly picked up the backpacks, wrapped them around me, and grabbed Ellen’s hand. Then she started running like crazy.

“Where are you going!”

“To the top!”

The official name of Seongju’s pagoda is ‘Sogeumseong’.

Compared to what we saw on Earth… It was a structure similar to the Tower of London in London. Of course, it was much smaller than that, and there was no moat or castle.

Anyway, Sogeumseong is where Seongju stays. Naturally, there were numerous soldiers guarding the surrounding area.

When I glanced back, the small boats had already hit the dock. However, since a significant number of soldiers had already gathered at the dock, it seemed difficult to break through.

Meanwhile, even though I was running quite fast, Ellen was keeping up well.

It was about time I ran like crazy and left the street where street vendors were lined up.

A group of soldiers were lined up and running towards us. It looked like it was heading to the dock.

As I continued running, I tried to gauge the size of the soldiers. Since they were running in four columns, it was easy to count them.

When we reached the thirteenth row, a man who appeared to be an officer or non-commissioned officer suddenly shouted at us.

“Hey, you guys! Are you a mercenary?”

… … I instinctively felt fucked.
