My Villains Episode 075

20. City of Chaos (4)

The gallows installed in the center of the square was obscured by military tents. Thanks to this, we were able to find the gallows only after walking through the crowds of soldiers and refugees.

Six or seven prisoners were tied on the gallows. The prisoners were literally unable to move, with their wrists and necks tied to a large pillory.

Among them, Ute Kwai immediately caught my eye.

All I could see was the back… . Compared to the others, its overwhelmingly large size, long dangling head, and night sky tattoo on its wide back were features that could not be confused.

I quickly walked up to the gallows, but there were shabby soldiers guarding the prisoners.

hmm… . First of all, I came here, but what do I do with this?

“Poy Nix?”

” hmm?”

When I heard a familiar voice, I turned around and saw a woman standing at a corner of the gallows.

She was wearing a helmet that looked big at first glance, and her slender figure and sharp eyes looked very familiar.

“Arnal?”

“You’re right!”

Ha, maybe it’s because it’s a city the size of your palm, but it seems like there’s someone you know everywhere you go.

When I tried to approach Arnal with a shocked expression on my face, Ellen tugged on my shoulder seam.

“I’ll just drop you off here.”

“huh? why?”

“I don’t like hanging around like this in front of other people. hurry.”

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

“Don’t talk nonsense, quickly.”

I made Ellen sit on a pile of materials near the military tent. The guy glared at me with a sullen face and then turned his gaze towards the wand. The next thing I did was approach Arnal.

“What are you doing here?”

“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it? “They’re on guard.”

“guard? “Why you?”

“Because of this.”

Arnal was wearing a sleeveless leather tunic over a thin linen shirt. Thanks to this, when she raised her arm, the outline of her thin but strong forearm was clearly revealed.

I nodded when I noticed the bandage wrapped around his forearm.

“Ah, are you doing this because you got hit by an arrow?”

“An archer who can’t even move is useless. Now I’m kicked out by security. But what happened to you? Didn’t the sewers go down before the earthquake? “You managed to survive without being buried alive?”

I explained roughly what happened to Arnal, who chirped with a happy face.

As the short story came to an end, she opened her mouth in shock.

“Mr. Luke was a necromancer? “Is he a nice-looking old man?”

“You sound like Mr. Luke. “It still makes me grit my teeth when I think about how I almost got lost because of that bastard.”

“Wow, this is a bit shocking… .”

“That’s okay, what about Grania?”

Arnal, who was bright-faced, suddenly took on a serious look at my question.

“He’s probably trapped in the salt castle. “It’s been a few days since I heard from you.”

“•••Have you lost any news? why?”

“I transferred to the SS because of Uncle Gilius and Farrell. five days ago

is it.”

“however?” “Unfortunately, there was an earthquake the very next day. The castle walls are collapsing, the demonic bastards are flocking in, and the bastard named Seongju jumps out… . If Prince Ulkar had not disciplined the commanders by picking on their ears, the city would have collapsed already. They called him Silver Prince, and he really lived up to his name.”

Instead of talking, I picked up Arnal, who was expressing his admiration.

“Don’t go astray, just talk about Grania.”

“ah. Anyway, then the prince rounded up the lord’s family and imprisoned them.” “I heard about that. “I heard it’s in a salt castle?”

“huh. At that time, several members of the SS also came in, and I think Grania, Mr. Gilius, and Farrell were also there. “That’s why I haven’t seen him once since the earthquake.”

Ah, the head. Things went very wrong.

Whether it’s because of Grania or because of the insider, I think I have to go to Salt Castle at least once.

“Then why is that bastard doing that?”

“Oh, that barbarian?”

Arnal, who caught a glimpse of Utequai hanging limply tied to the gallows, clicked his tongue and said.

“Tsk – that guy beat up the security guys.”

“The security guard?”

“huh. “Do you know that the guards have moved to the Baetgo-dong Inn?”

As I shook my head, Arnal adjusted his old helmet and continued.

“The guard post has completely collapsed. We are using the inn as a temporary station. “It was used as a guard post for a while.”

“It looks like the inn is safe. “What about Daria?”

“Daria is safe too. Well, you might have a hard time with the horny bastards from the security guard flirting with you.”

phew. The thing I was most worried about was Daria, but now I feel a little relieved.

“Anyway, the guards went crazy when they saw that barbarian. It’s already a war, so I can’t tell you how hot it must be to drink and talk loudly. So I tried to conscript… .”

“however?”

“That barbarian is so strong. “They knocked out all fifteen security guards.”

“Oh, sir… .”

I cursed softly and wiped my face.

“No matter what, isn’t the death penalty a bit harsh?”

“Severe? There are four people who were maimed after being hit by that barbarian. “I heard that one of them has his face completely crushed and will be born tomorrow.”

•••After hearing the story, it seems like it’s a good thing that Ute Kwai is still alive.

Arnal seemed to have read my mind and added a few words.

“But that guy, I’ve seen him before, but he’s not a real monster. They blow away the men like straw bales… . “If I hadn’t been drunk and fell asleep, several people would have died.”

w O ugh”

—■司三

Alcohol saved Utequai’s life. If he had continued his rampage, he would have been surrounded by soldiers and hacked to pieces… . No, did they beat up people because of alcohol in the first place?

I took a deep breath and glanced around.

There were a total of four guards guarding the gallows, including Arnal, and they were all faces I had seen once or twice on my way there. One soldier even made eye contact with me and gave me a quick glance.

“Hey, Arnal.”

“huh?”

“If you would like to talk to Hatanka for a moment…” Are you going to stop me?”

Arnal made a strange expression in response to my question.

“What have you got to say to someone who’s about to die?”

“I was the one who dragged that guy into the city. “I’ll keep it short.”

“I want to turn a blind eye, but… “I don’t think the other crew members will just watch.”

“then… .”

I opened the pocket hanging on my waist.

It’s a bit awkward to spend public money with Ellen, but I have to use my own money… .

Wow, I don’t have any silver coins. I can’t help it.

With trembling hands, I took out a gold coin.

“Will everyone turn a blind eye to this?”

“… It’s full and overflowing. hang on.”

Arnal approached the guards, spoke a few words, and then returned to his seat.

“End it briefly. “They come down as soon as we give the signal.”

“thank you.”

I passed the distracted guards and climbed up to the gallows. When the prisoners tied to the scaffold spotted me, they looked up with dark eyes and started talking to me.

“What are you, you bastard? “Did you see it?”

“Hey, hey! Don’t you want to make some money? “Can we talk for a moment?”

“Do you know the girl named ‘Tora’ in the drunken pony? Go and tell me! please!”

When the prisoners started making a fuss, two guards came up to the gallows and beat them with spears.

“Shut up, you damn bastards!”

“Anyone who shows teeth will have their lips sewn shut!”

I left behind the screaming prisoners and approached Ute Kwai.

“Hey, Hatanka.”

Utequoi lowered his head and did not move at all.

Ordinary prisoners had their hands and necks tied to the scaffold and had to assume an awkward posture, unable to stand or sit upright.

However, Utequai was so tall that he was kneeling even though he was tied to the scaffold.

“Hey, hey!”

As if the wooden frame alone was not enough, U Te Kwai had a large iron ball attached to his ankle. In addition, thick iron chains fixed to large stakes were wrapped around both wrists.

“hey. “Yumma!”

•••Is this bastard actually sleeping?

I was dumbfounded for a moment and tried to push the guy’s head.

“Off,”

“Ha, indeed.” Is it happening now? This guy is completely stupid.

“Erpe Th-rab–.”

“What is he saying now. Hey, come to your senses.”

“Urwha?”

Utekwai muttered something in a quiet voice.

As I flopped down in front of him, Wu Teqwai blinked his little eyes a couple of times. Then he lifted his pitch black eyes and looked down at me.

“Darran tanka?”

“Speak in Milano, because they don’t understand.”

“•••What’?”

You’re finally speaking something I can understand.

“What is this to you? “They let me into the city and gave me money, so why are you doing this?”

“You don’t care.”

“It doesn’t matter, this disease.”

I swallowed my curse and continued.

“Aren’t you going to be executed tomorrow?”

“know.”

•••What is it, you bastard?

“This crazy guy■, you know what’s happening right now, right? Are you saying you’re going to die tomorrow? “Whether they are hung or cut off, they will search anyway.”

“I have no regrets. My life is not short. I have several sons. “I can’t go home.”

“What are you talking about, you bastard…?” .”

It was a desperate look that did not fit the name of a berserker. I laughed and asked the guy.

“Your father or something, left a will for you before he died, right?”

“•••testament?”

“Yes, a will. I don’t know? “The last thing I said before I died.”

“……ah. Majemu.”

“Mezemu or whatever. Did that person tell you to do this? “When he handed over his belongings, he asked why he had searched for them in vain in a place other than his hometown.”

When I shot back sarcastically, it seemed as if a crack appeared on his expressionless face.

“•••You, it doesn’t matter. good.” “Nope? “Where is the death row inmate telling someone to come and go?”

“Your father, the shaman, the tribesmen. Isn’t there a corpse lying around outside? Aren’t the thieves who killed those people swarming outside the castle? But the son of a son did not intend to take revenge, and he made a bottle god. And now you’re getting ready to fly away? “Your father will be very happy in the underworld, you idiot.” Ute Kwai had an expressionless face with his lips tightly shut, but it was clear that he was angry. It was clear to see that his already reddish face was turning red.

“•••Darr’ve erap, you’re kidding me. “Is this your purpose?”

Of course not. The reason I came here… … .

There are a total of 9 classes in Dark World. Necromancer, Swordsman, Berserker, Swordsman, Arcane Hunter, Paladin, Soul Shaman, Primal Minor Mage, and Blood Knight. Each and every one of them is a hero and a savior who will save Middle World.

Of course, Utequoi may not be a hero and may just be a crazy person like Luke. He is said to have beaten up and crippled people by being arrogant, so he probably doesn’t have a very good personality.

Even so… Is it okay to leave Utequai to die like this?

My mind became confused, so I sighed deeply and opened my mouth.

“What if I release you?”

“•••what?”

What filled his eyes was not hope, but distrust.

When I look at those eyes, the words, ‘If a good person calls me a good person, I will not be good to myself’ suddenly comes to mind.

In Utequai’s eyes, my sudden approach may seem to have ulterior motives.

Well, it’s not really wrong. Because I plan to use him as a meat shield, not as a colleague.

“If I save you. “What would you do if I set you free?”

“•••Tell me what you want.”

“Follow me and follow my orders. Then one day I will give you real freedom.”

“red. I am my mother’s warrior. Darran tanka, you cannot command.”

“You’re talking bullshit again. So, you’re just going to search like this?”

“I said. “I don’t care if I die.”

“Don’t lie, you want to live. “I have to take revenge and return to my hometown.”

Utequai kept his mouth shut. I stood up, shook my butt off, and spoke to the guy.

“I’m going to leave now, so think about it.”

“worry?”

“okay. Do I really want to die like this, or is there still work to do? “Think about it.”

I came down from the gallows, leaving the silent Utequwai behind.
