How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

65. I’m a wandering wizard

The sun set quickly in the mountains.

If you want to get a little dark, it’s hard to move easily without a torch.

Diaz and I settled down in a suitable place and prepared for camp.

“By the way, why are you here?”

I tilted my head and asked Andrew.

I’m sure it wasn’t until the first time I started…

Didn’t he appear with a wild boar on his back at some point?

while talking about dinner.

Now, it was beautifully baked, and I lost, giving Diaz and me a leg at a time.

I give it to you, so I take it…

“Ah. What’s the point? It’s important that we’re together.”

“I don’t think that matters too much, does it?”

“Move over, get over it. Life is tiring if you’re so picky about everything.”

I took a bite of the meat with amazement.

In the meantime, the whole barbecue grill was delicious.

The rich gravy flowed out and filled my mouth.

Besides, what and how did you do it, isn’t the salty seasoning just right for you?

The thought of opening a restaurant crossed my mind for a moment.

“How is it? Kill it? Hee hee!”

Seeing that, I got another compliment and went back in.

Anyway, I thought that one of the friendliness might be the best among the people I have ever seen in my life.

End your meal in moderation.

Diaz stood up.

“I’ll make a reconnaissance trip in the vicinity.”

“Well.”

“I want to go too, Peep!”

I watched the back of Diaz as he walked away.

After killing Count Soleon.

She seemed to have grown quite a bit internally.

The eyes were also calm and there was a sense of stability.

Emotional agitation also seemed to be less than before.

It was the name in my memory, and it was getting closer and closer to that Diaz.

Diaz disappears into the woods.

I asked Andrew.

“What do you have to say?”

Keep your eyes on the bonfire.

I rummaged through it with a wooden stick for no reason.

“Yeah……”

Lengthening the tail seemed to be the answer.

I had already felt that he kept glancing at me.

He paused for a moment to organize his thoughts.

have asked me

“Why Diaz? When we first met. Why did you choose Diaz as your lieutenant?”

Yes, it was, indeed.

I remembered that Andrew had also said he would make Diaz his lieutenant.

That’s why there was a little trouble from the beginning.

Seeing that, I was also curious.

“Why did you want to make Diaz your lieutenant?”

“…Me…because I knew.”

“what?”

“That friend’s emptiness. Growing up as an orphan, he lost his friends and had nothing left. I don’t know, because I haven’t seen Sir Rohan, but Diaz’s eyes were completely lost at that time. So he was anxious.”

“……”

Andrew took a deep breath and continued.

“I’ve been through it. There have been times when I felt like no one was there. Of course, that was also my mistake. In fact, there were many people around, but they didn’t recognize me. I was alone and said, ‘Oh, I’m alone.’ I had a stupid idea like that, so I wanted to let Diaz know too.”

I also understood what you meant.

Before I came to this world… I was alone.

“By the way. Now I’ve changed my mind. I feel like I’m glad I followed Lord Rohan, not me. Honestly, if I had brought Diaz as my lieutenant, I’d have made him a new friend at best. But Lord Rohan was different. Something made me a person. The power to make it hard? I think you have something like that.”

“It’s overrated. I’m not such a great person. I’ve made many mistakes and experienced a lot of setbacks. I’m just an ordinary person.”

“Well, maybe it’s because Lord Rohan himself doesn’t know Lord Rohan yet. Or too much humility. Trusting people and giving them faith. It’s not easy. I did too, but Sir Rohan probably hasn’t suffered a lot from people.”

“……”

why not

No, on the contrary, is there anyone who has not been victimized by a person?

I also had my feet stamped to the point where I was sick of it, and I also got hit in the back of the head.

So this time, I only trusted people I could trust.

“You trusted me too, didn’t you? You believed that you could defeat Count Molen. He believed in you even after being beaten that much. That’s Lord Rohan’s ability.”

“……”

okay……

Andrew was a little different.

In fact, I never knew anyone named Andrew.

I don’t know where he died, but it was because he didn’t even appear in the original work.

So seeing him at Straun was my first impression.

And he, who I’ve seen so far, is all I know.

Even so, I believed in him… It was my pure will.

‘I thought you were a child, acting as you please. You have quite a bit of speaking skills. whooping.’

It didn’t seem like that at all.

I smiled softly.

“Meat, it’s delicious.”

* * *

Let the night pass and the dawn rises.

We started moving right back.

The year of the mountain pass was short.

I felt it a few times, but every time I camped, my back was stiff.

I thought it was because I lay down on the cold floor and fell asleep.

“Whoa.”

Still, it did not move smoothly.

The slower you move, the more you’ll have to sleep on a stone floor like this one more day.

It would have been better to arrive quickly and lie down in bed.

On the way to move on horseback, Andrew asked.

“By the way. About that Vampire Lord. How do I find it? The Kingdom of Hesete isn’t as big as the palm of your hand, and I wouldn’t even come out saying that the Vampire Lord is here.”

Actually, I was a little worried about that part too.

The demons smelled of it…but they weren’t vampires.

It wouldn’t be easy to find one person in a country.

That’s not enough, he probably decided to hide…

But even so, I couldn’t stay still.

“I’ll have to search and find them one by one.”

“Well. That’s right.”

Diaz also chimed in.

“If you ask for help from the local church officials and the royal family, you may find a way.”

“okay.”

“Or maybe I can help?”

While talking to Diaz.

An old man’s voice interrupted.

All three of us looked in the direction of the voice, startled.

“Nice to meet you guys. My name is Kroyton, the wizard.”

In my memory, the playable wizard character was smiling right in front of my eyes.

* * *

Creighton was not a very popular character.

Although there was a characteristic of the wizard class, once people choose a character to play, don’t they look at the appearance a lot?

Due to the nature of Pao God, which cannot be customized.

Originally, it was common to choose a handsome mercenary class or a pretty thief class.

No, in fact, with the exception of Kroyton, everyone had their own charm to some extent.

As a result, I wondered if Kroyton’s selection rate had fallen even more.

along with it.

‘Actually, he’s a wizard that can be found in other games as well.’

Kroyton in the original game didn’t use magic that was particularly magical compared to other games.

Because of that, it wasn’t particularly fun.

By the way……

‘Seeing you face to face, the feeling is very different, right?……’

The silver hair and beard made him feel mysterious.

And the eyes, whose depth is unknown, reminded me of an unexpected sense of fear.

What is most surprising is that

‘The third eye barely detected it.’

Was it because there was no life at all?

I do not know.

Let’s not say anything while we panic.

Creighton opened his mouth again.

“Didn’t you say you were looking for vampires?”

Diaz responded.

“Who are you…”

“As you can see. I’m a wandering mage. Being a mage, I have a few skills. I haven’t tried it, but I think I’ll be able to find that Vampire Lord if I’m good enough. Instead, could you connect me to the royal family of Hesete? It seems to be about to ask for help from the royal family.”

“……”

Diaz frowned.

It was normal to be suspicious when an unknown opponent suddenly approached to help.

It would be more strange to believe it suddenly.

But I

“good night.”

I decided to trust him.

Diaz, not expecting my reply, came up to me and whispered.

“Rohan-nim. We don’t know who the opponent is at all. Shouldn’t we be mindful of the possibility of information leaking out?”

Andrew sneakily intervened beside him.

“I’ve met a con man like that before. I think he looks a bit like him.”

Their concerns were not unreasonable.

But clearly, Kroyton was a man who risked his life to fight the devil after the Great Invasion.

Because you know the future.

“Don’t trust the author, trust me.”

I was able to speak to both of them with confidence.

“……If you say so…”

“Hmm. Then I’m okay too.”

with their consent.

I spoke again.

“Croyton. My name is Rohan.”

“Rohan? You had a nice name, yes.”

“By the way, can I ask you something?”

“Sure. What are you curious about?”

There was no concern about Croyton’s status.

There was one thing I didn’t understand either.

“How do you find vampires?”

The Creighton I knew was someone who could only use fire-type magic.

There are skills outside of combat, but…

‘I didn’t find anything to find a vampire?’

“Ah. That part? Yes, it’s worth wondering.”

He smiled softly and made a completely unexpected remark.

“Three high-ranking vampires attacked me yesterday. I’m still on my way back after killing one.”

At that, Diaz and Andrew’s mouths dropped open.

“Three guys…!”

“Now that old man… I don’t think my ears are weird, Diaz?”

Despite the reaction of the two, Creighton continued talking without hesitation.

“It wasn’t easy to capture this alive. But I worked hard and captured one… I’m going to rob him. I’ll hand over the identity of the person who captured me alive, if you promise to connect me to the royal family. neatly.”

Creighton asked me.

“How… you’re interested?”

I raised the corner of my mouth.

The one that only connects you to the royal family?

It wasn’t difficult at all.

For me, it was an almost free condition.

So, I didn’t worry too much.

“very.”

“Okay. Then the negotiations are concluded!”

So we follow the strange wizard Kroyton.

A high-ranking vampire has entered the kingdom of Hesete, waiting for us captured alive.
