How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

Chapter 64

64. This is why you have to be by the hero’s side

“Put your hand on my beak.”

Mortal Bird, promise to help him.

The mortal bird held out its beak to me.

I lightly put my hand on it.

OK.

A strange aura flowed through his hands.

Shaaa…

The aura that seemed a little eerie.

From head to toe, it felt like it was spinning around my entire body.

Wow!

Soon they gathered towards the middle of the chest.

A small but heavy energy coiled itself inside me.

“this……”

To my surprise, the mortal bird gave me an answer.

“Undead. Those who, voluntarily or unintentionally, failed to abide by the providence of nature. It is my job to send such people back to their original flow. Of course, to take that responsibility requires a lot of power. The divine protection given to me is the divine protection bestowed on me, and it is also the reason for my existence.”

Leave the reason for your existence…

The weight of this energy nestled in my chest suddenly felt heavy.

“May you, with your power, judge those who would disregard the heavenly order…”

Surprisingly, I naturally learned how to use this unknown power.

Just like you don’t have to learn to breathe.

Just like blinking is natural.

“You will be able to feel it. All the undead standing in front of you will see the death they thought they escaped from you, and they will tremble in fear. To all the undead, you will be the symbol and destination of fear.”

How to lead the undead to death.

How to cut the soul out of that decaying, moving corpse.

And for the moment when I cut off my soul, how to draw out the heavy…… divine power nestled inside me.

“As the phoenix ignites an immortal flame, you will ignite a mortal flame.”

The mortal bird’s words were not simply metaphorical.

Could know.

If the golden spear burned the soul, this mortal bird’s protection was the power to burn all the undead that were maintaining their bodies.

If Horikedon had this power right now…

‘I think I can turn it into ashes in an instant.’

This hot energy that I have right now is just one energy to the living, but to the dead, it was no different from a strong flame enough to burn the whole body.

It’s a scary feeling because you’re alive.

‘Is this… one of the divine powers?’

It was a different concept of power than magical power.

I’ve actually seen it once before.

At the time of the first battle with demons in Straun Parish.

The power that Bishop Heinte exuded from the mysterious sword was this divine power.

The power that made even the undead legion hesitate and retreat.

‘I thought it was only in the holy relic…’

It was amazing.

The fact that humans can have this.

And the fact that the power of this divine power is much stronger than I thought.

Even in the original work, the figure of divine power appeared, so I knew it.

However, this was not an energy that could be dealt with.

It was necessary to have a special weapon, and at least it was a power that could be used by borrowing the power of the weapon.

It was something that could only be used by obtaining a so-called legendary item.

I channeled that power into the sword held in my right hand.

Susseussut……!

My sword, the blade of Rasgalon, began to emit light gradually.

Just like the Holy Sword wielded by the Bishop of Heint.

* * *

The mortal bird looked down at my sword and opened its mouth.

“It’s a first.”

“First time? What?”

“The power of the mortal bird and the power of the phoenix. The immortal flame and the mortal flame. The one who embraces both flames at once. You are the only one.”

“is it?”

It wasn’t long before I realized I had won the world’s first title.

“Rohan-nim!”

“Where are you?”

“Sir Rohan! Are you all hurt?”

Allies carrying torches began to slowly descend.

And finally, they too faced the mortals.

“Ugh……!”

“A crow?”

The mortal bird seemed to be a little hot at the word crow.

I see you have a dignified voice.

“A crow. It’s reckless.”

But that dignity was of no avail to Andrew.

“Whoa! It’s a talking crow!”

“……Ehh.”

The mortal bird, realizing at once that Andrew was not the type to listen to the other person, perhaps because he was a long-lived creature, stopped caring about Andrew.

“Dretnor appears to have crossed the Sausan Mountains.”

“If you say the Sausan Mountains, do you mean the huge mountain ranges to the east?”

“Yes.”

I remembered the world map of Pao God’s world view.

“East…”

Count Gargent quickly gave an answer.

“It’s where the Hesete kingdom is.”

“It’s the land of wizards.”

“Yes. Although it is a small country, it is a mysterious place. Outsiders tend to view Baltras Kingdom, which has developed alchemy, as a wonder, but compared to Hesete Kingdom, we are on the side of common sense.”

The mortals added an addition to that.

“Humans don’t know magic yet. They only see the shallow surface and arrogantly think they know how to use it.”

It’s magic…

Come to think of it, a playable character related to magic came to mind again.

I mean the wizard.

There was a reason I called the wizard character mysterious.

‘It’s the only one that shows up no matter which job I choose…’

Usually, if you choose one job, other playable characters do not coexist in the world.

but only one.

Only the wizard class was different.

When I played, of course, I appeared from the point of view of the main character.

Even if you choose a different job, it was mentioned slightly at least once.

That said, at any given point, wizards exist.

‘Perhaps even now… it seems to exist somewhere.’

And if it was the kingdom of Hesete, it was also the most likely place to meet.

While I’m thinking about it

The mortal bird spread its wings and prepared to take flight.

“Anyway, I will recover for a while and join you. You who have obtained my protection. Go to Hesete Kingdom, find and stop Drettnor. If the monster of Morzadon escapes, Drettnor will surely fill the world with death. It will be so that even I cannot guide all souls.”

“Not a very good ending.”

“I am of the same opinion.”

The mortal bird had one last word.

“Oh, and. That chick. Please take good care of me.”

“You don’t have to worry.”

“Okay. Let’s see again.”

Then, flapping its huge wings, it soared through a hole in the ceiling I had drilled.

* * *

“Is that Lord Rohan?”

“Uh. I heard you killed a witch that was hundreds of years old?”

“By stepping on it? What do you mean by that?”

“I don’t know. But all the articles I saw with my own eyes said that.”

“…I don’t know, but it’s amazing.”

“Yes. We live together in the Age of Heroes. That wasn’t enough, so we fought together.”

“Keuuu! This taste is a knight! Isn’t this going to remain a legend for us too?”

“Puhahaha! That’s cool. The bard also tells us a little bit of our story!”

“This is why I have to stay next to the hero!”

As I walked through the shelter, I heard many stories like this.

Even then, when I pass by, stop talking.

“Meet Lord Rohan!”

“Meet Sir!”

This example was taken politely.

“Well.”

I just pretended not to hear and passed it on.

Well, it didn’t feel bad to be supported like that.

Rather, do you feel the eyes of envy entwined when I appear?

It felt like I was correcting my posture when I was walking.

Let’s get to the commander’s barracks like that.

Everyone stood up.

I hadn’t heard the previous one, but I guessed roughly.

It seemed to be a story about the pursuit of vampire remnants.

“Never mind, the meeting continues.”

Count Gargent nodded.

“Okay. Come on, keep talking. Sir Carson.”

“Ah, yes. Mr. Prime Minister. First of all, most of the vampires are almost finished hunting. In the future, we need funds to rebuild the city and restore the damage to the citizens.”

Defeating the remnants of vampires was not that difficult.

Although the vampires in this world view were not undead, but a species, so they could not use the power of mortals.

Thanks to the disappearance of Ledea’s dimensional veil and the appearance of the sun, the tide of war was reversed in an instant.

Moreover, the momentum of the Holy Knights who had been with me had risen to the end.

Previously, he had dealt with high-ranking vampires and even witches who could divide dimensions, but how could a low-ranking vampire be scared?

Their momentum hunting the vampires was like a fury.

Thanks to this, vampires are now literally only left to be called remnants.

Now Casson was slowly trying to rebuild the city.

Count Gargent lightly agreed.

“City reconstruction and damage repair. It’s definitely a part that needs funds. I see. I’ll try to actively propose that part to My Highness.”

“thank you!”

All of a sudden, Count Gargent and Casson seemed to have built up a good friendship.

Surprisingly, the two seemed to communicate well.

It was thanks to Count Gargent, who, as chancellor, did not hesitate to provide any kind of support in various ways so that Casson could secure the autonomy of this land.

Because of this, he, originally an independent, has now become Count Gargent’s biggest ally.

To be honest, from my point of view, I thought Count Gargent, who was stubborn and boiled, was amazing.

So faster than expected, the former Countess of Mollen was changing into a new look.

“Okay. Then let’s do this.”

“Yes. Your Excellency.”

After the conversation with Casson was roughly finished, Count Gargent turned to me.

“Are you leaving now?”

“That’s right. We don’t have much free time.”

“Whoa… I’d like to tell you to just stay. It’s a very serious matter… I’ve prepared all the horses, food, and drinking water outside. When I go out, they’ll be standing right there.”

“Thank you.”

“And this too.”

Count Gargent handed me one more thing.

I accepted it.

“It’s no exaggeration to say that Baltras Kingdom survived thanks to you. Eventually, this place would have fallen, and the capital wouldn’t be safe after that.”

It was not wrong.

“It’s a certificate with my seal. In Hesete Kingdom, it will be useful at least once.”

I nodded.

“Let’s use it well.”

“Thank you.”

Count Gargent held out his hand and asked for a handshake.

I took his hand

“See you again.”

“You’re welcome anytime. Haha.”

We looked at each other and smiled.

And come out of the barracks.

The knights were waiting for me lined up.
