My Villains Episode 141
37. Baroness’s Request (2)
“You all understand what I said, right?”
Moses, who was kneeling and shaking his head, nodded.
“… … “Yes, Nari.”
“lily?”
“No, no, master. sorry.”
“good.”
I sent her away with a satisfied smile. Moses, who had become my slave, staggered back to the lodge.
But I don’t know if I did a good job with this.
The talk about it being a blood contract and all that, of course, was a complete lie.
I just made up some plausible nonsense and drew a picture using blood magic, and skills like ‘Blood Contract’ never existed in the first place.
However, the reason I did something like this was for several reasons.
First, dealing with Moses itself was a bit ambiguous. There is no way to prove that she was a magician.
No one knows about the notoriety of Robber Baron Albianne, but even his subordinates were not famous. So, if he had suddenly cut off Moses’ head, there could have been a misunderstanding.
And, Moses was useful. You will be able to monitor Siren and his group. When they tell a story about my soul, Moses will tell it to me.
Well, his swordsmanship and magic aren’t that great, but he’s a magic swordsman, so he might be useful in other things.
Lastly, it was because of my curiosity. The curiosity was whether it would be possible to use those who appeared as enemies in the game as subordinates.
The named names in the Dark World all had powerful, annoying, or strange abilities.
If you can placate those among them who can communicate well, like in the case of Mosis, it will be a pretty good feat.
I don’t know how long Moses will be fooled by this show of blood magic. I have no choice but to watch carefully in the future.
As I was passing by the well with that thought in mind, the entrance to the fence suddenly opened.
From what I’ve heard, the owner of this lodge has a very rambunctious personality. Perhaps because of this, the soldiers in the mountain cabin were all stuck together.
It is surprising that the gatekeeper, the representative of such soldiers, would open the door at such a late night. Are you a valued guest?
“……uh?” The person who appeared among the armed soldiers was none other than Atalanta.
Her gray hair was tied in a ponytail and decorated with several rings and red cloth. She wore a thin cloth that exposed her waist and legs, and on her left forearm she wore a band embroidered with a whirlwind.
She had four men. Two were unarmed like Atalanta, and two were armed with heavy armor, shields, and curved swords.
“Nix?”
“Atilia.”
When Atalanta spotted me, her amber eyes sparkled and she let the group into the lodge. Then he approached me with a smile on his face.
“What are you doing here? “Have you been waiting for me?”
“huh? Wait. “I didn’t even know you were coming.”
“Hmm, really?”
When Atalanta narrowed her eyebrows and tilted her head, I smiled.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I went out to get some air and then went back in. What happened to you? “You came back soon?” “The clan happened to be staying nearby.”
“Near?”
It is said that the Nude people usually lead a nomadic lifestyle in clan units. If there is a place to stay, they set up a tent, and when they need to move, they load up on a wagon.
“huh. “There are very few monsters around here these days.”
“but… … . “How’s the story going?”
“I decided to proceed as is. “The price will be paid during the day.”
The contract we initially made with Atalanta was that if we obtained the results of the hunting festival, we would sell them to her. It was a deal where I would get money, and Atalanta would get a settlement for her clan.
Thanks to this background, not only was the price generous at three silver coins per point, but an additional condition was added that Atalanta and the others would not receive their share.
As a result, Atalanta had to buy two troll heads from me for 900 silver coins.
But I had no intention of taking all that money.
The dedication Atalanta showed in the rift went beyond the contract, and I wanted to repay that dedication.
I said, scratching my eyebrows.
“If you’re doing it to keep your promise, I don’t care. It’s not like I’m in a hurry for money anyway… …
“It was decided in ‘Asun’. “You don’t have to be considerate.”
Baron Mallory has gone missing, and Longville is under siege by Anupad’s army. In this situation, trying to target territory in the name of winning the hunting festival… … .
As I remained silent, Atalanta added in a stern tone.
“The clan elders are not fools. “There is a reason why I decided that way, so you don’t have to worry.”
“If you say so… … . “Instead, I’ll only accept half the money.”
“half?”
“huh. Let’s say it is the price of my life and the consolation money that will go to Mr. Vittorio’s family.”
Atalanta frowned and made a strange expression before opening her mouth.
“okay. thank you.”
“Thank you. Even in my opinion, 900 silver coins for two heads is too much.”
“No, that’s not it.”
Pure eyes and seductive lips drew a refreshing line. It’s a beautiful smile.
“Thank you for thinking of Vittorio.”
” ah.”
“Your uncle will be happy too.”
“hmm. “I hope so.”
“I guess so. clearly.”
I quietly made eye contact with Atalanta. Because the moon was bright, her brown eyes turned golden.
A question suddenly occurred to me.
Why doesn’t his character sheet appear?
Although we only met for a short time, I had a pretty good relationship with Atalanta. I don’t think that’s because they simply mixed their bodies.
She has shown interest in me ever since she met me. Although she had a battle with a small misunderstanding, it was quickly resolved, and she ended up making a decent deal.
Crucially, Atalanta took great risks for me, even almost dying.
Isn’t this enough? Why doesn’t the character sheet appear?
At that time, a Nudein man came out of the mountain hut and approached me.
“Miss, the room is ready.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Atalanta nodded and said, pulling on my sleeve.
“Let’s go and have some tea.”
“car?”
“Alcohol is good too. I want to ask you something
“There.”
“Like what?”
“Follow me and I’ll tell you.”
With a bright smile, I nodded without realizing it.
Three candles sit huddled together on an iron plate in the middle of the table. There was one that looked new, one that was smaller, and one that was completely old.
The candle family worked hard to push out the darkness, but the room could not reach brightness. It was just cozy.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
“Miss, this is Moreau.”
“come in.”
Atalanta’s words prompted a Nudein servant to enter the room. He set his bottle and two cups down on his table and stepped away.
“ruler.”
“thank you.”
I smelled the tea that Atalanta poured for me. Sweet and subtle Mali
It was a flower scent.
Lately, I’ve often wondered what the conditions are for a character sheet to appear.
‘You have to gain trust or favor to see the character sheet’ was my original hypothesis. I came to that conclusion after looking at the cases of Ellen, Luke, and Utequai.
However, after the swordsman appeared as the fourth character sheet, this hypothesis was discarded. Because it is impossible for a swordsman who has never seen my face to trust or like me.
So now, my head was very confused.
Why doesn’t Atalanta’s sheet appear? Could it be that she has some kind of dirty intentions? Or are there other conditions that I don’t know about? If so, what are the conditions?
Atalanta, who was caressing the teacup, suddenly opened her mouth.
“There is also alcohol.”
I shook off the question marks that filled my head and smiled slightly.
“That traditional liquor back then? “I don’t think he should drink it before going to bed.”
“Hehe, that’s right.”
Atalanta’s room was right next to where Ellen and I were staying.
Amazing coincidence… … . It is difficult to say that. The largest and best rooms in the lodge are the six on the third floor.
As I glanced to the side, Atalanta’s gaze followed.
“What about Ellen?”
“Are you sleeping.”
“Still sleeping all day?”
“At least it’s gotten better. “I’m awake four to five hours a day.”
“Hmm.”
I thought of Ellen, who almost fainted and fell asleep after an ambitious kiss. Her lips are twitching for no reason.
“Is something fun happening?”
“hmm? no. nothing… …
I looked down at the teacup for a moment.
How much poison resistance do I have now?
30 from ‘Dragon Slayer’s Seal’, 60 from ‘Death King’s Scale Belt’, and 5 from ‘Legendary Bloodline’. You won’t have to suffer from poison in the campaign.
After taking a sip of tea, I asked back.
“So, what’s the plan? Is there any way to eat Longville?”
«o ”
—……
Atalanta quietly sipped her tea as well.
“… … The elders must have thoughts. “They are old people who absolutely hate losing money.”
“We have to deal with Anupad’s army first. In a situation where there is no permanent lord, an heir must be designated. “It won’t be easy.”
“I know.”
The red-brown colored eyes seemed to look the other way. I guess this isn’t the topic of conversation I want to talk about.
“What do you want to ask?”
” huh’?”
“I heard there was something I wanted to ask you.”
” iced coffee.”
Atalanta put down her teacup and looked at me quietly.
“You, perhaps?”
“ O ” H •
“Have you ever met a warrior who handles vision? “Not me.”
“no. “I’ve never done that before.”
“Then do you have any Nudein friends?”
“Of course not. “You are the first Nudein I have ever seen.”
“Hmm.”
Atalanta, who was nodding as if interested, suddenly opened her mouth.
“Then how did you know my name?”
“huh?” “My Name. “How did you know?”
“Uh, that,”
Hey, did I make a mistake?
I swallowed dryly and shrugged my shoulders.
“What are you talking about. “You told me.”
“Not Attilia.”
“Well, then?”
“You called me. “My real name that no one knows.”
“Oh, I guess I did that… …
… … shit. I thought he was simply using a pseudonym, but I guess it wasn’t that bad.
Ai, what excuse can you make?
Atalanta, who was looking at me quietly, puffed out and burst into laughter.
“You really can’t lie.”
As I remained silent, she moved on to the next question as if it didn’t matter.
“Then how do you know so much about the power of vision?”
“Uh, what’?”
“As far as I know, there are less than ten humans in Middleworld who deal with vision. “I’m the only crazy bitch who draws power from the void.”
“Oh, I see.”
“But you treated me in a very familiar way. “It’s as if I know deep down my abilities.”
There was silence.
I constantly racked my brain trying to come up with excuses. Atalanta was looking at me with a faint smile.
The lips that had been twitching slowly opened.
“That’s it?”
“huh’?”
“The Prophecy of Earth… … . Did you say that?”
Fuck you.
While I was swearing under my breath, Atalanta’s smile was getting deeper and brighter.
“Did you see it there?”
“You saw me. In that prophetic book.”
I don’t think it’s a situation that can be overcome by insisting that it’s a stomachache. Only the minimum, really minimal information should be revealed and the rest should be hidden.
I opened my mouth, moistening my dry lips.
“That’s not what I saw.”
“What are you talking about?”
“… … therefore. “I absorbed a very small piece.”
“A piece?”
“huh. “A very small piece of the memory of someone who read the prophetic book.” Atalanta narrowed her eyes.
“You say it’s an alien entity? “I came at the invitation of the demon god.”
“That was a lie meant to deceive Karamek.”
“… … “It didn’t seem like a lie.”
“Uh—that’s not a total lie. “I absorbed some of someone else’s memories, so a part of me is that other person, right?”
As I spoke earnestly, Atalanta stood up and giggled.
“Look at this.”
“I heard you can’t lie.”
X-foot.
“You don’t have to lie too much. “Because all I want to know is myself.”
“you yourself?”
« O ”
Atalanta slowly approached me and sat on my thigh.
“If you answer the question, I won’t ask anything else. Of course, I also keep secrets about you.”
Long fingers touched his face. The light of her candle was obscured, but her face was clearly visible even in the darkness.
“Answer me.”
“……what?”
“Can I regain my freedom?”
freedom.
Based on that keyword, I came up with a unique scenario for Vision Hunter.
I don’t know the detailed story. However, it wasn’t difficult to come up with a few quests and scenes. The ending was the same.
I hesitated for a while and then opened my mouth.
“I can get it back.”
Atalanta quietly closed her eyes.
She calmed down for a moment. Her lips quivered slightly and she slowly parted them.
” when?”
“… … “I don’t know that.” “You don’t know?”
“I don’t know when, but once a few conditions are met, you will be free.”
“A few conditions.”
Golden eyes sparkled.
“tell me.”
“please.”
I fell into silence.
You talk so openly about the future. It was my first time in this world.
Is it okay if I talk?
Won’t the future change with what I say? Or, wouldn’t it be the Oracle of Delphi?
“Nix, please.”
“please.”
Suddenly, Atalanta grabbed my neck. A burning desire licked my lips.
The scent of dried flowers vibrated in my mouth. Maybe, when I smell this scent later, I might think of my kiss with Atalanta.
“tell me.”
“I could even give you my life. please.”
This time I pulled Atalanta. I traced the flexible muscles of my back and waist with my hands and swallowed my hesitation.
“You have to be strong. many.”
“Ha, and?”
“You have to kill six.”
“six.”
“and,”
Atalanta’s touch and kiss interrupted the conversation.
One candle went out. It was the shortest one. The room became darker.
“and? *Phew* Keep talking.”
“Your prophecy must come true.”
“Our prophecy?”
“The prophecy that you, Atalanta, are the ‘daughter of salvation.’”
A face full of joy crawled into the back of my neck.
Soon, red strings and rings were strewn across the table. Her abundant hair swayed.
“Is it over?”
“It’s over.”
A hasty hand traced the Death King’s scale band. I helped her too.
“wait for a sec.”
Atalanta turned to the candle. This is to put out the fire. I caught her.
“There’s no need for that.”
I glanced into the next room and put the belt around her mouth.
“Let’s sleep, eup.”
“Quiet.”
Whispering like that, I picked up Atalanta.
That night, I got to see the fifth character sheet.
