The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 62



Only Krnovel

The soldier shouted save (62)

Men making eye contact over their masks as if sending a signal.

“I asked if you were holding your breath, why didn’t you answer?”

When I asked him what the ideal behavior was, the man with the red hood on his head smiled and waved his hand.

“Haha… . That’s a big misunderstanding. What on earth are you looking at that makes us hold our breath… .”

Men who keep their hands behind their backs without stopping their mouths.

There was no need to draw the sword.

“Ke, kek!”

Reach out and grab the man’s Adam’s apple.

“Hey, wait a minute! Ugh, euaaaaaaah!”

He twists and breaks the arm of the man holding the dagger at his waist.

“It looked quite funny.”

Kick the chest of a man with a broken arm and press his belly button with your heel.

“Ke, keeeeek… … .”

As my heel presses halfway down his abdomen, he desperately grabs my ankle, suffocating me.

“Choose. Help me, or die here.”

As I looked down at the frosty Azure Dragon Sword in my hand, the red hooded man asked with a thoughtful face.

“Oh, are you… a janitor?”

“Isn’t that what you’re supposed to be asking questions about?”

With those words, he swings his knife at the man lying on the floor.

-Boom!

A sharp sword blade stuck next to a man’s head.

As I recalled Lucas trying to kill me under the pretext of training, a mad smile appeared on my face, and the red hood that had hit my Adam’s apple hurriedly lowered its head.

“Hey, hey! I can guide you through this village of vagabonds!”

He looks up as if he is pondering those words and says,

“Not a bad answer.”

“Go, thank you… .”

I take my eyes off the man who is lowering his head again and look down at the guy at my feet.

“What will your answer be?”

“I, I… … .”

“Looking at you again, I don’t like your eyes. Just die.”

As I raise my arm and aim the tip of the knife at the man’s face, the man shakes his head urgently and speaks.

“Ugh, AAAAAAAHHH! S, please save me! I’ll do anything!”

The man covered his face with both arms and pleaded, apparently quite frightened.

“Did you say anything for sure?”

“Yes, yes! Anything! Anything I can do….”

I think about that for a moment and then answer.

“Then, from today onwards, you are a fool.”

“… …What is a golong?”

“That’s the horse I used to ride. Why, don’t you want to be a horse?”

“Oh, no… .”

“Why do horses speak like people? Is it because it’s time to die?”

“Hey, heeheeheeheung!”

“Hahahahahaha! Now Gorong has come to his senses! Come on! Now run to where the people are!”

She climbs on the back of a man who is kneeling and walking on all fours and kicks his thigh.

“Why is riding a horse slower than walking? Walk at a brisk pace!”

The man looked up at me with a tearful expression, but said nothing and desperately crawled on all fours, holding back the stone fragments from getting stuck in his knees.

“… … I’ve never seen that face before. Who is it?”

“Those guys, aren’t they Dumbo and Belle?”

A group of homeless people gather around a man imitating a horse.

“Why are the knight’s words so harsh! Cry louder!”

“Hey, eeheeheeheeheeing!”

As the man on my buttocks makes a pitiful sound, the hobos step aside, not even thinking of approaching me.

“Hey, guide.”

“… … Ah, yes! Did you call?”

“Why are there no women in the village?”

In response to my question, the red hooded man points to a group of people with his hand and says:

“… … All of those people over there are women.”

“Are you talking about the people with their faces covered with something like scarves?”

People wearing thick clothes and with their heads almost shaved.

“Yes, yes… All the women in this village are like that.”

At those words, he frowns, scanning the women’s faces with his eyes.

‘It won’t be easy to find that boy’s sister.’

The boy’s special feature about his younger sister was her blonde hair, which never lost its shine even in dirty places.

But with his head shaved and covered in black dirt, it was hard to tell at a glance what color his hair was.

Except for one person.

“Hey, who’s that woman?”

A long-haired woman peeking her face out from the roof.

When I point to a woman with fair skin, unblemished by black hair, unlike the people here, with my chin, the man waves his hand with a puzzled look on his face.

“You can’t touch that person! He’s a member of the Mesquerid Guild!”

Mesquerid, the home of the information guild known as the best on the continent.

But the woman on the roof didn’t live up to her reputation.

‘It’s so awkward.’

A clumsy gesture that reveals itself and watches me.

“I heard it was the best on the continent, but how did the Masquerid Guild end up like that?”

When I asked that, the man smiled awkwardly and waved his hand.

“What about the best on the continent? That’s all old news. It was at its peak when the leader was alive.”

“…Him?”

“All the guild leaders of Mesquerid are referred to as ‘him’ or ‘chief’ without a name. … … Hehe, this guild leader is an exception, but he is sometimes called ‘woman’.”

As soon as the man whispered in her ear and taunted the guild leader of the Mesquerids, the hairs on her skin began to stand on end.

‘… … Indeed, the fame wasn’t all a lie.’

The murderous aura that came from all directions was felt in an instant.

How many people were hiding and eavesdropping on the conversation?

As I was estimating where the Mesquerid Guild members were hiding based on that life, the goron that was lying on my butt stopped walking.

“Ha, hahahaha! Oh, f*ck. I thought I was going to die because my back hurt.”

A man who quickly slips between my legs, avoids being a slut, and laughs proudly.

“Brothers! I brought the work!”

As the red hooded man who claimed to be our guide shouted, strangely-looking men began to appear one by one from a wooden house with iron plates attached.

“… What is that? The sword looks so nice.”

“Hey, you bastards! What if I bring the noble young master here?”

The men’s arms were not flesh-colored.

The prosthetic arm was made of solid metal, made of iron.

‘What is this?’

A sawmill can be seen glimpsed next to the house.

Beneath the sharp blade, a human arm was lying there with a vivid bloodstain.

‘… It’s as bad as the outskirts of the continent. If someone who doesn’t know anything comes into the village, they cut off their arm?’

Could cutting off an arm be a warning?

Before I could even begin to answer that question, men wearing prosthetic metal arms brought something into their hands.

Men attaching sword blades to prosthetic metal fingers.

Men with iron prosthetic limbs turned into sharp weapons snicker at me and say:

“Sir, before you die, should we make a bet on whether you will find your mother or your father first?”

“Hahahahahaha! Can’t you tell just by looking at her? Just looking at her pretty face, she looks like she’s going to cry out, “Please save me, mom!”

“Wait a minute, should I bet on Mom’s side too? Then the bet stands… … .”

The smiling faces of the men completely collapsed as blue particles gathered around my sword.

“… Uh, crazy!”

“You damn kids! What the hell have you brought me!”

Have you ever seen ‘Geomgang’? Men run away quickly without even thinking about fighting.

‘They’re easy to understand.’

-Whoosh!

A blue trail extending towards the men’s backs.

The trajectory cuts through the men’s bodies in two.

“Uh, uh… Hey, wait a minute!”

He pierces through the mouth that was spouting words full of ridicule.

Men who turned into blood-covered corpses in an instant.

‘Did you touch my nerves?’

-Thump.

As they were cutting off the prosthetic limbs they were wearing and examining their cross-sections, someone spoke in a desperate voice.

“S-Save me, Nari! I, I was scared! I did it because I was scared!”

When I turned my gaze, I could see that the attitude of the man who had guided me here had changed noticeably.

I raised my sword and looked down at the man whose head was buried in the dirt.

“Didn’t I tell you not to use human voices?”

As he slowly swings his sword with those words, the man screams, covering his face with his arms.

“Ugh, euaaaaaaah!”

“Now you’re crying like a proverb.”

The Azure Dragon Sword placed on a man’s arm.

I aimed the tip of my sword at the man’s forehead.

-Boom!

He just pushed the sword in.

“Ah, ahh… ahh… … .”

I turn my gaze to the strange sound.

A man who has lost his language, falls on his butt and walks backwards.

I asked the red-hooded man who had claimed to be my guide one last question.

“How do I get to the Coinum Auction House?”

“… … If I tell you, will you spare my life?”

He said that, wiping the blood off his sword.

“I will show mercy.”

“Go, thank you… … .”

“I will let you go without pain, without you even knowing you are dead.”

The man sensed death at my words, and his face turned red and he started to shed tears.

“… … The Coinum Auction House is hosted by the Information Guild. If you give them the password and pay the price to the Masquerid Guild, they will tell you the location and how to enter… … .”

He nods his head at those words and says.

“Turn back.”

When a man trembles and tries to turn his face away along with his body.

He swung his sword.

-Whoosh!

A man’s neck rolling on the floor with a sharp wind noise.

-Slurp.

I crouched down and wiped the sword on the man’s clothes, asking the onlookers.

“Can someone show me where the Masquerid Guild is? Here, I’ll give you a gold coin.”

People who were retreating in fear changed their gaze when they saw the gold coins.

“I, I’ll do it!”

“Get out of here! I was the one who came out first!”

Vagabonds fighting over a single gold coin.

‘I think I know why the boy wanted to stay in Sunlight.’

He reaches out as he sees the men getting into a fist fight.

“I have no intention of leaving it to you, so get out.”

Grab the scruff of the neck of the men who won’t stop fighting and throw them to the ground.

Then he pointed to a man with a bushy beard.

“You. Come out here and guide me to the guild.”

What I was referring to was a man who was afraid and had similar emotions to ordinary people of Yeongji, who would not even give up a single gold coin.

“This way, this way… … .”

Follow the hairy man through the labyrinthine alleyways.

‘It’ll be hard to memorize. If I have to pass by, I’ll have to go above the house.’

After walking for a while, forgetting the alley structure that would be difficult to remember if you weren’t a local, I came into view of an abandoned iron fence.

“This is the Mesquerid Guild….”

A huge crowd of people can be seen inside the fence.

“Who are they?”

When I asked about the vagrants who did not look like guild members at all, the man who was about to run away without even taking the gold stiffened and said.

“… … These are people who want to take the test to enter the Masquerid Guild.”

“Test? Are you saying that people like that can enter the Masquerid Guild?”

“… … Yes. We accept capable vagabonds as guild members once a year, but this time, for some reason, they’ve announced recruitment again after only three months… … .”

The day I came to the Vagabond Village was the day they were recruiting members for the Masquerid Guild.

He frowns at the perfect coincidence and hands over a gold coin.

“Take this. It’s the reward I promised you.”

At those words, the man shakes his head and steps back.

“For someone like me, even if I receive gold coins, they’ll be taken away right away. … … I’m done with the guidance, so I’ll be going now.”

When the man turned his back and left the gold coins in my hand, I could hear the clicking of tongues in disappointment from all over, as if there were many people trying to steal the gold coins from the man.

‘Human waste isn’t entirely wrong.’

It was simple logic.

When you lock people in a place that smells like shit and urine, even their heads become filled with the smell of shit and urine.

Unless the village environment changes, these people will never be rehabilitated.

‘I should probably hear some information about the Coinum auction house.’

I tried to enter the Masquerid Guild, passing the people gathered to take the test.

“Don’t leave your seat.”

A masked man is blocking access.

As I was trying to explain to the man that I wasn’t there to take a test, the guild door, which had been firmly shut, opened wide.

“… … .”

A woman with long silver hair wearing a white tiger mask.

“Hey, hey… look at that.”

“Hey, it’s the leader of the Masquerids!”

The silver-haired woman glanced at the gathered vagrants, then gestured for her masked subordinate to come closer.

“Yes, go ahead, sir.”

The man who had been nodding his head after hearing the chief’s whispers walked towards the homeless man and raised his voice.

“As originally announced, we will begin the exam to select members for the Mesquerid guild! Those who wish to take the exam, line up!”

Just yesterday, I was interested in the footwork and espionage skills of the Masquerid Guild.

But my thoughts changed after seeing the reality of the hobo village.

‘It must be very risky to join a guild in a place like this where you never know when your throat might be cut.’

In reality, I never figured out how many people were watching me in the vagrant village.

‘It’d be a pain if these guys kept nagging me outside of the Wanderer Village.’

My goal will always be the Coinum Auction House.

It would be good to learn the skills of the Information Guild, but if the risk is as great as it is now, I think it would be best to just pass by the vagrant village as if it were there and not there.

“Stop chatting and stand in a straight line!”

Who should I talk to to get to the Coinum Auction House?

When you get out of the line and pay the masked man to ask him about the auction house.

“Yes, sir.”

The leader wearing a white tiger mask began whispering to his subordinate.

“I will convey the words of the Master! Those who are about to take the test with half-hearted intentions, I am informing you in advance!”

A man speaks to a group of homeless people with tense faces.

“What you have to do after passing the exam is something that you would find difficult to return from even if you had ten lives!”

The words that follow are difficult to ignore.

“But to those who return alive! All the valuable items in the Coinum Auction House will be divided among you!”

The Masquerid Guild was targeting the Coinum Auction House.
