The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Episode 124

33. Wizards and Druids (4)

“…Where are you from?”

“Oh, that.”

I brushed the leaves off my head and shoulders and continued.

“I was looking around the lord’s residence when the lord suddenly jumped out.

I hid for a while because there was nothing to gain from running into him.”

“They become like knights and hide. Prince Eun will like it too.”

Ellen shook her head and flew into my arms. I quickly straightened up and took him into my arms.

“It paid off.”

“result? What achievement?”

“…Have you already forgotten? The blurring potion.”

“Oh right. How are you? Was it made by Master Castrite?” Ellen, who was about to answer, twitched her nose for a moment and then narrowed her brows.

“What smell is this?”

“uh? smell?”

Ellen tilts her head as she pulls the collar of my tunic up to her nose.

“Did you put on perfume?”

“What is perfume? Sitting in the bush, it must have smelled.”

“What kind of forest is it that gives off such a scent?”

“Well…

I was at a loss for words, so I shook my head and changed the subject.

“Smell is not important right now. Is that why Castrite, the potion master of obscurity, made it?”

“…Well, almost certainly. The glass bottle used seems to be from the same workshop, and there are traces of a boggart’s beard recently worn.”

“okay? Hmm.”

So, did the lord really instigate Joe’s gang to deal with Atalanta and the nude mercenaries?

From what I overheard earlier, it seems that there are people who are acting separately from Joe’s gang. I need to find out a bit about the lord’s younger brother.

And about Count Tristan, well I have no way of knowing. From what I’ve heard, it seems that Count Tristan is also one of the great nobles beaten by Prince Ulkar…

“And Poi.”

“huh?”

“Do you remember making a wound healing potion in the lab two days ago?”

“Oh, a new recipe? Did you succeed?”

“It’s not a success, but something useful has come out.” Saying that, he took out a small glass bottle from his sling bag and showed it to me. Contents of deep red color….

“It’s not a success? It looks fine from the outside, doesn’t it?”

“The effect was a little lacking and the side effects were severe…

Listening to Ellen’s explanation, the lack of effect was not a big deal. Since the original version itself is so effective, I don’t think it’s something to be laughed at just because it’s a little less than that.

The problem is the side effects.

Ellen handed me a glass bottle and continued her explanation.

“If you drink or spray it, you will feel very hungry.”

“Is that what it used to be? It just makes me a little hungry.”

“It’s not that much, but I can’t use my strength like I’ve starved for a few days. It’s a side effect of not using troll blood.”

Well, listening to the explanation, the potion’s healing effect seemed to be quite similar to the regenerative ability of my passive skill, Flowing Blood. In that it burns a significant amount of calories to repair wounds.

I shook the glass bottle a few times while holding it up to the sun. A semi viscous, viscous liquid swirls slowly.

“Well, at least this is enough to play the role of an extra life. But is one bottle all?”

“All I got is one bottle, and if you want more, you have to buy it from Master Castlight.”

“money? You made this, right?”

“The materials and labs were all from Master Cass Wright. You can buy it cheaper instead.”

yes what because there is a lot of money

I went back to the lab thinking, but the amount Master Castlight offered far exceeded my expectations.

“… Fifty pieces of silver? in one bottle?”

When I asked with my mouth open, the virtuous wizard smiled bitterly as if he was sorry.

“Don’t be too upset, Sir Phoenix. That’s enough to barely cover the cost of materials.”

I glanced back at Ellen and nodded as if she was right.

“Turn off” O.

I groaned and pulled out the money bag and counted the money roughly.

There were about forty gold coins and a little less than three hundred silver coins. I had spent my money sparingly, but the money was good enough.

I paid for a good mix of gold and silver coins and was able to get three bottles of potion. I wanted to buy all the remaining potions, but I had to give up because I had to give the rest to the lord.

On the way back from the lab, I met Sir Killian, Longville’s only knight.

“It’s been a while Sir Phoenix. I heard the news. Are you saying that your performance at the hunting festival is amazing?”

After exchanging simple greetings, I brought out what I wanted to ask him.

“I heard that you plan to attack the Anupad army.”

“Ah, I guess you heard me too.”

Sir Killian shook his head at me and Ellen.

“The monster subjugation is definitely a military operation. Because we have to use mercenaries, there is no way to prevent information from leaking.”

“I understand. After hearing the rough story, it seems that all the mercenaries in Longville are participating in the subjugation.”

I shrugged and added.

“Except us.”

w……O uh”

—Sir 5th

Killian hesitated for a moment, then sent the training commander and his attendants to the Yeongjugwan first.

“Sir, I have something to ask you first.”

When I put on a puzzled expression, Sir Killian got off his horse and asked a question.

“Are you aiming for Longville?”

“……yes?”

“I heard that the score is very high. Are you going to take Longville by any chance?”

All the laughs come out what is this guy saying

“What are you talking about? The reason I participated in the hunting festival in the first place was because of the lord’s request for cooperation.”

“Of course you know. But it wouldn’t be strange if he had a different mind while hunting monsters.”

“If you have a different mind.”

“I came to think that the amount of hard work I had gone through was too great to be exchanged for a few silver coins.”

I looked into Lord Killian’s eyes. Black eyes mixed with green. I felt no malice or suspicion.

“I don’t have any relatives to point out as the heir of the former lord. I myself have no desire to enter the adopted world, and I have no desire for this territory. I just want to drive out the monsters and cross the mountain.”

“…If that’s the case, I’m glad.”

The middle-aged knight, who was silently pulling the reins while walking, let out a deep sigh.

“But the baron thinks otherwise. He is worried that he will win the Exotic Hunting Festival and claim ownership of the territory.”

“…Ha, if that’s the case, you shouldn’t have staked the estate from the beginning. Or don’t drag me into the hunting festival.” “I agree. But the baron can’t quite keep his sanity when it comes to Prince Ulkar. Indeed, the master of the family…

Sir Killian was silent for a moment, then swept his mustache once before opening his mouth again.

“Anyway, if you participate in the subjugation led by the baron, you will get three times the usual score.”

“…Three times?”

“exactly. You want to completely erase Sir’s name from the bulletin board.”

“Why so much?”

“Because you think that’s the right way. He’s quite sincere, and he hates cheating.”

The right way is bullshit.

“What will happen if I say I will participate in the subjugation?”

Sir Killian burst out laughing.

“Are you saying that Kyung Heo will go on his own? Then the baron will dance at least.”

…I see.

If Baron Mallory takes me by force, I have the right to lie on my stomach. I’m Prince Ulkar’s knight, not the baron’s.

However, if I ask to participate in the subjugation, I will be placed under the command of the baron, even temporarily. Of course, that would be putting my lifeline on the baron.

As I seemed to be lost in thought, Sir Killian said with a serious expression.

“As a courtesy to Prince Ulkar and Sir… I advise you to leave Longville.”

“The baron is anxious to insult you. If you leave quietly, I will do my best to prevent the baron from spreading rumors.”

The middle-aged knight who said that looked somewhat powerless.

“Please judge carefully and make the right choice.”

After checking the equipment and materials and completing the training, I washed my body and lay down on the bed.

Ellen on the other side was asleep right away. Originally, he was a guy who only slept a lot in the morning, but lately it seems that his sleeping time has increased.

Kwyi.

I was happy with the feel of my new, soft clothes, so I dug into my armpits and rubbed my forehead.

Hey, stay still.”

While I wiped off the remaining water from his fur with a towel, Mung-chi left his body in my hand and made a pleasant sound. There is no such thing as a drooping body.

“Uuuu, don’t you think it’s sweet if it’s cute?” Quack.

I couldn’t resist the urge and fed my chubby stomach with pears. Unable to withstand the tickling, the bunch screamed and struggled on all fours.

It was a peaceful night like any other, but I had been thinking about Sir Killian’s advice since earlier.

Chapter 3 in the game consisted of four picknams and a boss monster.

The first pickname, ‘Modor the Warrior’, The third pickname, ‘Robber Baron Al Bianne’, was killed yesterday in a fight in South Harbor.

In the case of Modor, there was nothing unusual, but the early death of the robber baron completely changed the scenario.

Longville, which should have been occupied by bandits, was peaceful in its own way, and the baroness, who should have been kidnapped, was safe and sound.

Thanks to this, Baron Mallory was handling the monsters rampant in Graduil Mountain quite well. While holding an unheard-of event called the hunting festival.

From what I’ve heard, there were about 400 troops gathered for this subjugation. There are many skilled mercenaries, so if you do well, you might be able to drive out the Anupard army. Because the remnants of the magicians won’t join like in the game.

Do I really need to stay in Longville under these circumstances? Is the lord turning on the light in his eyes to harm me somehow?

Wouldn’t it be okay to just hold your breath in a mountain hut or somewhere, and then sneak over the mountain when the situation is over?

The bundle swayed at my leg and bit my hand. It wasn’t to the extent that it hurt, but I could feel that my chin was quite strong.

“Hey, have you grown up?”

Queek.

“It’s a bunch.”

Moongchi reacted, probably because it was a name he was familiar with. I think I heard that pigs can’t see the sky, but he raised his head well enough.

I said while gently groping his tusks.

“Yo-go-yoge, I’ll release you when you come up to your nose.”

The bunch blinked quietly.

The boar’s eyes were black all around and around its eyes, and when it blinked, it was like a black ball of hair wriggling. I looked down at her eyes and smiled.

“What are you looking at? Do you want to go into kimchi stew?”

Mungchi buried his snout in my arms, as if he had understood what I was saying.

“If you go beyond Graduil Mountain, there are not many monsters, and the plains are wide open. It should be roughly similar to the one near Inbury. You know Inveri? It is your hometown.”

In spite of my self-talk, the lump rubbed its snout against my stomach, but there was no reaction.

Yes, my goal is to cross Graduil Mountain. Let’s stop thinking about the scenario for a moment and do what needs to be done.

Deal with the soul shaman who is working on the renovations at the top of Mount Graduil, hide nearby, and run away when the road opens.

Organizing my thoughts made me feel at ease. I fell asleep and saw a new character sheet in my dream.

It was the fourth character sheet after me and Ellen Utequai’s.
