My Villains Episode 027

8. The mill and the undertaker (1)

After giving first aid to the wound, we went back to the hub and picked up the eggs.

Then they started dismembering the crocodile’s body. This is because I decided to just cut off the skin and the tail and take them with me.

Of course, neither I nor Ellen knew about the tanning process, so the work that followed was closer to hacking than dismantling.

Skinning it wasn’t as easy as I thought. While I was peeling off the skin from the head, I accidentally stabbed the back of my hand.

I wasn’t hurt because I was wearing good quality cowhide gloves, but damn. The gloves were slightly torn. This is expensive… .

The skin and tail that he had worked so hard to obtain were tied with a rope to his backpack and transported.

I left the lantern to Ellen and I carried the backpack, but no matter how strong my body was, I was completely devastated, so it was quite an ordeal.

Fortunately, we did not encounter any enemies because the second floor was well organized. We went straight through the first floor and went up to the ground level.

When I got to the ground and noticed the sun setting in the west, I let out a small sigh without realizing it. The long twilight was hiding the gloomy atmosphere of the city just a little… … .

“Wow, the sun is already setting. “It’s finally come out.”

“•••after. “It was hard.”

As Ellen said, it was a very difficult day, but thanks to the last struggle, I gained a lot of profit.

The soldiers who saw the remains of the giant crocodile sent a messenger to the tower, and as they waited for a while, a noble-looking man appeared and bought the whole skin.

There was no choice. It was mandatory to sell valuable items like crocodile skin to the lord of Seongju.

Although it was a bit annoying. There was nothing they could do as the sewage system was owned by the castle owner. He seemed to have paid a good price.

Ha-You really are the best in this world.

The man who introduced himself as the butler of Geumseong clicked his tongue even as he handed over the money.

“Tsk, what is this condition? “If I had paid a little more attention, I would have paid twice as much.”

“There was nothing we could do because the technology was lacking.”

“But next time you get a chance, be as careful as possible and skin it. No, just bring the whole body. “Then I’ll buy it for you for ten gold coins.” Crazy, it weighs well over a ton. How do you drag it all the way here, you stupid bastard?

While thinking this, I smiled appropriately.

In addition, most of the crocodile’s tail, which was almost 3 meters long, was sold. They just weighed this and paid the same price as pork.

But since the prices of all foods had risen, I was able to get quite a lot of money.

Anyway, all I got was four gold coins! It was a large amount of money, equivalent to twenty silver coins.

Wow, now that I think about it – I received nine silver coins for all the trouble I went through on the dockside. Paying 20 silver coins for just one crocodile?

•••No, no. When I think about it, even the crocodile had a tough time. Besides, if it weren’t for the special tear gas that Ellen prepared, I would have definitely died.

The experience given by the giant crocodile… Maybe 500? That will be it. It’s a simple comparison, but it means that it’s a monster equivalent to ten warriors wearing iron masks combined.

Even in the game, he was quite a tough opponent to deal with as a level 11 character.

In terms of money and experience, it is the best game, but… .

Ah, I’m still reluctant. I think it would be too much to aim for hunting.

Even if I encountered another giant crocodile, it was difficult to be optimistic that I would be able to easily kill it.

I think Ellen can target the crocodile’s snout with tear gas, and I can take advantage of the opportunity to cut open its stomach. If a mistake happens, it’s over.

Should we say that it is truly a high-risk, high-return hunt?

•••I need to think about it a bit. You have to be especially careful when searching the third floor.

“Aaaah, poi!”

Daria screamed when she saw me come back in complete disrepair.

“What the hell is this! “Is this what happens in the sewers?”

“huh. “I met a crocodile.”

“•••what? crocodile?”

He showed her a large piece of meat as her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Yeah, look at this. Crocodile meat! “There are also eggs.”

“No, there’s a crocodile in the sewer…” Ugh, that’s enough. “Wash up quickly and let me take a look at your wounds.”

While saying that, Daria grabbed my left arm.

“Oh, I smell…” …

“It’s okay, so follow me quickly.”

Wow, this kindness! And, this soft and voluptuous feeling that can be felt beyond the clothes… .

It was a car where I pretended that I couldn’t win and was dragged by Daria’s hand.

Suddenly.

Suddenly a hand reached out from behind and grabbed my right arm.

“for a moment-”

“Huh?”

When I turned my head, I saw Ellen pursing her mouth, trying to choose her words.

Really, this guy? No matter how much you don’t have a concept… .

“Hey, can’t you see I’m hurt?”

“•••what?”

“No matter how tired you are, you have no consideration whatsoever.”

I can’t bring up the funeral will like an old man here, but… Still, isn’t this a natural right as an injured person?

“You can’t watch this. “Should I wash first?”

Hearing my words, the guy’s face frowned.

“What bullshit? “Who will wash first?”

“what? then?”

“No…give me my luggage, Jim!”

“uh?”

Oh, by the way, I see I’m carrying a backpack?

At that time, Daria, who was watching from the side, came forward and took off my backpack. Then she smiled her sweet smile at Ellen.

“It’s very dirty, so I’ll give it a quick wash and put it up for you. “Are you okay?”

•••Wow, Cheonsanga. My mouth opens wide.

Ellen pouted for a moment at Daria’s kindness, then turned away.

“•••Do as you will. “It goes up.”

As he stumbled up to the second floor, I washed up with Daria’s help and headed to my room.

Daria, who followed me to the room, snatched the ointment I took out of my bag and said.

“Is this the ointment that Mr. Oreg made? “I’ll apply it.”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

“Quickly lie down.”

“Well, is that so?”

As I laid down on the bed topless, Daria reached out and applied ointment to the scratches on my back.

“Oh, come on.”

“Oh, sorry. “Does it hurt a lot?”

“no no. are you okay. “It doesn’t hurt that much.”

Ah, these sincere touches… … The fatigue seemed to melt away like snow.

Still, I couldn’t help but feel my body aching here and there. I guess I’ll have to take a day off tomorrow.

With that thought in mind, I fell asleep while receiving Daria’s care.

Armed hat holding a threaded needle

I carefully inserted it into the (arming cap).

“O ugh”

Madam, it’s not going well. Because it is made of several layers of linen, the needle does not advance easily.

The fact that the fishing hook-like sewing needle was too blunt was also one of the reasons that made the work more difficult.

“Ah, tag!”

Oops, my finger got pricked.

When I looked at the wound, I saw that a not-so-sharp needle had gone quite deep into my finger.

“Oh, it hurts.”

I’m sure you won’t get tetanus… ? Hey, I sterilized it in the fire, so it should be okay.

I made excuses earlier about the tools and the like, but the truth is, I know. It’s just that I’m terrible at sewing.

Well, even when I was a trainee, I had a hard time because I couldn’t even put on my shift name tag properly. I don’t think your skills will improve even if your body changes.

Could it be that Poynix couldn’t sew too?

•••No, the squire is actually like a knight’s poem, right? He must have been good at odd jobs like sewing.

When you think about it, it’s a bit strange, isn’t it? It seems like Poynix’s original abilities are being absorbed in a chaotic manner.

Martial arts skills only come out after some training, but language comes out without any discomfort. Things like writing can be written easily, but the tips for doing chores are the same.

I’m tilting my head like that and sucking on my bleeding finger.

“Hey, can you sit quietly?”

Ellen, who was lying on the bed across from me, was frowning.

“Hey, am I doing this for no reason? Did you just sit quietly all day yesterday? “You have to do something productive.”

“Then you should be more careful. “Why do you need to see blood?”

“Useless?”

I started to retort, swinging my military hat in front of him.

“Hey, look at this. The hat doesn’t have any cushion. “The helmet is so heavy that it feels like my head will break if I wear it.”

Unlike modern bulletproof helmets, the helmet here is made entirely of metal without any lining or cover. Of course, if you only wear a helmet, it will not be fixed properly and will not absorb shock, so it will not be able to do its job.

So, the item worn under the helmet was the military hat.

Should I say it’s similar to wearing quilted armor under chainmail? anyway. I was trying to fill a military hat with fabric and stuff it with cotton.

Despite my explanation, Ellen just frowned as if it was pitiful.

“Hey, what’s the point? A guy called a warrior gets his head broken just because he wears a helmet?”

“What, hell? Really? Oh, really. “I think I’m going to hit people.”

“what?”

When the guy opened his ring eyes and glared at me, I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.

“Oh, your true feelings came out of your mouth?” “hey!” Ellen shouted and raised her upper body. No, she tried to get up, but “haha ugh…” .”

With a helpless groan, the guy’s half-raised upper body fell back.

I said, giggling as obnoxiously as I could.

“Puh-ha-haha! Hey, do you have a rope on your back? “Who’s pulling from behind?”

“•••Shut up, please.”

The guy who came out of the sewer was suffering from extreme muscle pain. His bones or ligaments did not appear to be damaged, and his arms, waist, and stomach were tightly irritated. Of course, the worst part is the legs.

Ellen was so sick that she was resting for two days after escaping from the sewer by catching the crocodile.

As for me, I recovered most of my condition around the time I ate dinner last night.

The cracked shoulder blade hurts a little, but it is getting better with time. I think it will probably get better by evening.

This is health, but it also seemed to be an effect of the passive skill ‘flowing blood’.

Health of 18 is of course a high score, but it is not at a level that surpasses humans. In order to recover like a troll without any ‘flowing blood’, your health will have to be much higher than it is now.

Anyway, after recovering my condition, I was holding Ellen’s bottle bowl again.

Well, I don’t have a fever, so there’s not much to do… The atmosphere in the city was so ugly that it was difficult to leave him alone.

As I was teasing Ellen for a while with that thought in mind, she suddenly started crying and made a groaning sound.

“Ugh.”

“Is it that bad? “Would you like me to massage it for you?”

“•••it’s okay.”

Judging by the hesitation in his answer, it is clear that his words were empty. You are in the palm of my hand, you foolish soul.

“why? Where does it hurt the most? “Just right.”

“•••Huh, thighs.”

“Thigh-?”

He’s talking about big trouble again.

I tried not to say things like this out of fear of looking like an old man, but as an ethical man and a liberal believer, I can’t ignore this.

“hey. Well, not arms or shoulders, but thighs? “Are you a grown girl asking a man from outside your family to rub your thighs?”

Ellen looked dumbfounded at my reprimanding question, then blushed and protested.

“Hey, you crazy bastard! “I asked you where it hurts the most!”

“Hey, don’t you know the context of the conversation? ‘I will massage it for you. ‘Where does it hurt the most?’ Then the answer is, ‘Oh, this is where it hurts the most. Shouldn’t it come out like this, ‘Please massage this area?’

“I didn’t mean that! “It’s just that my thighs hurt the most-”

Ugh, okay. It’s easy to not know because I’ve been locked up in a strange palace since I was young.

He seems like a guy who hasn’t learned anything. It makes me realize once again the importance of institutionalized basic education.

With that in mind, I stood up from the bed and asked, startled.

“Uh, where are you going?”

“Pick up Daria. It seemed like I was free,

“Ask me to massage your legs.”

The guy’s face suddenly stiffened at my answer.

When she was angry or crying, her face was so lively, but when she erased her expression, she looked like a doll.

“Who wants it? “Why am I getting a massage from that farmer?”

“Sseu-eup, don’t you speak nicely?”

“I don’t know. “I don’t even want to touch that bitch.”

Now, like Pavlov’s dog, whenever Ellen reacts like this, her eyes automatically turn to her philtrum.

Will there come a day when I can’t resist the urge and hit that guy’s philtrum? It is expected.

“Ugh, it’s done. “Just wait a moment.”

“I heard you don’t get massages!”

“Oh, someone is calling me because of you? “I wanted to ask you to help me sew.”

“… Sewing?”

“uh. “I’m really bad at sewing.”

Hey, did you notice? Although her face was expressionless, Ellen’s eyes were full of doubt. The guy looked up at me and asked.

“Massage and sewing are excuses, right? “Don’t you just want to play with that farmer?”

“… Oh, isn’t it? And it’s called crop farming,”

Before I could finish speaking, the guy turned around and lay down.

Then he covered himself with a blanket all the way to his head.

“… “What are you doing?”

“I don’t know, I’m going to sleep. get out.”

“Why don’t you go out, dude? “How scary is the atmosphere in the city right now?”

“No one is staying at the inn, so what?”

“still.”

At my words, the guy threw back his blanket, stretched out his arm, and picked up the crossbow that was on the bedside. Then measure the protest with skillful skill.

“Ugh.”

•••I have good hands, but I guess it’s inevitable that my arms hurt.

Anyway, after measuring the protest, they put a small glass bottle on it. Then he glanced at me and said something.

“I take care of my own business. “You decide whether to leave or not.”

“•••Uh, really?”

“okay. So get out quickly.”

I hesitated for a moment and eventually left the room.

I heard that there was a small-scale public execution yesterday as well… … Well, I guess it’ll be okay. It’s broad daylight, so it’s probably not a big deal.
