How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

Chapter 66

66. That word was even more shocking

We entered the kingdom of Hesete following Kroyton.

This Kingdom of Hesete, which once started as a principality and was expanded, was a kingdom with a small territory enough to be called a city-state.

Even so, it has the status of the five most powerful kingdoms as it is now.

It was thanks to the existence of wizards.

Being a wizard wasn’t just about learning magic.

In the first place, you couldn’t use magic just by learning magic.

Those who can use magic purely without special tools or mediums were born only into bloodlines.

And the country with the most powerful mage lineage on the continent was the kingdom of Hesete.

Even so, of course, Kroyton was a strange being.

‘Even if you’re a normal wizard, you’re a human. He died even if he was stabbed, and he died even if his lifespan was over…’

But Creighton was different.

Because it existed a hundred years ago.

‘Wizard Character Tutorial…’

In fact, I broke into a cold sweat because of it.

Didn’t I tell you that it was I who killed Ledeia a hundred years ago?

It was because he had never expected to meet Kroyton so soon.

If you play as a thief character, Kroyton is almost only mentioned right before the ending.

I knew it would be the case this time too, so I just skipped it.

‘How can I pass it…’

I don’t think I’m going to make a big trip if I don’t mention it…

While the trouble deepens.

We arrived at Kroyton’s residence before we knew it.

He did not stop even after entering the room and continued walking.

As we followed him in, the three of us busily looked around the house.

Because the opportunity to see the wizard’s house was not very common.

Like a wizard’s house, books were scattered everywhere.

The closet was full of various magic tools.

Although it seemed similar to the residence of the alchemist Marco I had seen before, it had a different feel.

If Marco’s laboratory was a place where you can feel like a physicist.

It was a place full of books and texts, giving off the feeling of a mathematician.

Both were spaces with a very strong nuance of scholars, but the subtle difference caught my eye miraculously.

After walking a little further inside, a staircase appeared that led to the basement.

Creighton naturally descended below him.

I also followed him.

Diaz and Andrew, who had been hesitating from behind, came down soon after.

And there was a door at the end of the road, and Kroyton opened it.

Awesome profit……

We witnessed a somewhat unreal sight.

A vampire kneeling on his knees, tightly bound in chains and blinking his eyes.

A dreamy girl sitting in a chair in front of him and reading a book with an expressionless face.

of being in one space.

* * *

In fact, even before I set foot in this room, I heard it slightly in my ears.

Vampire whispers.

It was the power of super senses created by the third eye.

[I will give you a chance to achieve immortality!]

[Ten million? billions? Even if you earn all your life, you won’t be able to enjoy such a rich movie!]

[If you let me live, I will kill everyone who stands in your way for the rest of my life!]

Various flattering rumors continued to flow.

However, there was not a single answer to that question.

Like self-talk.

Who are you talking to?

And can we just leave those enchanting whispers alone?

What to do if something goes wrong…

Concerned, though, Creighton seemed completely unconcerned.

He slowly opened the door.

Then he looked at the girl and said.

“Did you keep watch while I was gone?”

“……Yes. Master.”

She, who had not raised her voice at all despite all the temptations of the vampire, spoke for the first time.

Even the vampires had a tired face.

“It wasn’t that he was deaf…”

Either way, Creighton introduced her to us.

“This is my student, Grendel.”

“……Nice to meet you.”

Even in greetings, bluntness overflowed.

Diaz’s first impression was also slightly different.

If Diaz was nervous and sharp.

Grendel had a stronger feeling that he had no interest in anything in the world at all.

Kroyton, as if familiar with her reaction, skipped over the story.

“I came down to show you. Why don’t you go up and continue the details?”

“I will.”

We went upstairs again, leaving Grendel alone.

Kroyton, who made a table by roughly removing various scrolls and books, invited us to sit down and went straight to the point.

with an interesting look.

In fact, the interesting side is rather us.

“Aren’t you curious about why you want to be connected to the royal family?”

“Well. Is there anything I can do to my advantage?”

“Ahh. With that answer, I have nothing to say.”

Diaz, however, seemed a little curious.

“Speaking of which, may I ask why you want a connection with the royal family?”

“Ah. It’s nothing special. I think I’ll have to kill the 3 princes.”

Uh… I didn’t expect it to be like this…

“……”

It seemed to be entangled in something unexpected.

* * *

Let’s harden our faces.

Croyton replied with a smile.

“It’s not a political thing like an assassination or a rebellion. It’s not known to the outside world, but the 3 princes are currently being used by demons.”

I frowned at his words.

“Devil?”

“That’s right. He was a pretty nasty guy. To the point where I couldn’t find a way. I’ve tried many ways to get rid of that possession… but in the end, I couldn’t find the answer.”

“So you’re going to kill me?”

He nodded.

“The same opinion has already come from the royal family. But the king is vehemently opposed. Unfortunately, I insisted that we no longer have to relieve the pain of the three princes. Thanks to that, we have been completely kicked out of the royal family. Now I can’t even have an audience with Your Highness in my name.”

With a sigh, he smiled bitterly.

“That’s why you approached us.”

“Haha. It’s because it’s not that common for those who have access to the royal family. You just suddenly appeared in front of me.”

Creyton answered lightly, but I still had a few more questions.

“Is it all right if you talk about it so easily to us?”

As he said, the story about the three princes was obviously top secret.

Things that are close to shame inside the royal family.

Would it be all right if I said it lightly?

Kroyton answered him slowly.

“I remember you. That’s why I trusted you and brought up the story.”

“……”

What are you talking about?

When did I ever meet Kroyton…

“A hundred years ago. The witch who splits dimensions, Ledeia. Do you remember?”

Before I could even react, Andrew was startled.

“Ledea, we killed some time ago, no. Isn’t that the witch that Lord Rohan killed?”

Let Andrew get the word out.

Creighton was surprised again.

“You mean Ledea was resurrected? To really fulfill that prophecy…!”

Since the two of them were playing around with each other, there was no time for me to be surprised.

Andrew tilted his head and asked Creyton.

“A prophecy? What prophecy was there?”

“A hundred years later. He said he would come back and kill me.

“It really resurrected. Our Lord Rohan even cut off the witch’s dimensional veil and said, ‘Snack!'”

Why is he proud of what he’s doing and talking about it…

‘No, but why is the conversation suddenly going to Ledeia? If I do this wrong.’

My words about fighting Ledeia a hundred years ago are strangely twisted…

“Heh heh… did you really do what you said then?”

huh? What else are you talking about?

Suddenly, Kroyton uttered an incomprehensible word.

“You showed me the way to chase the witch a hundred years ago. Have you forgotten? I have never forgotten you for a single moment.

did you tell me?

I? to Creighton?

What the hell is going on?

“I recognized you at once because I did not forget you for a moment.”

That statement was even more shocking.

* * *

“At the time of the battle with Ledeia. If it had not been for your help, I would have missed that witch.”

‘Before the tutorial, who did you meet?’

was that me?

There was absolutely no way to know.

All I know is the scenes that were shown in the original film.

Nothing different from the original.

It was the reason the battle started in the tutorial.

But Kroyton, who was real, seemed to have met me prior to the tutorial.

But my memory was nonexistent.

“It was a hundred years ago…what were we talking about then?”

Pretending to remember, I scooped up Kroyton.

“It’s been a long time, so the words I shared are vague. But this is clear. While fighting that witch, when I missed it. You appeared and cut the dimensional veil with your sword and made a path. To cut through the dimensional veil, It was unbelievable.”

“……”

Even then, did I cut the curtain of the dimension?

However, the amount of information was a bit disappointing.

‘Still, I can make some inferences. I don’t remember, but I did exist a hundred years ago.’

And that this body right now is definitely not an ordinary person.

Then… there must have been a way to find another trace of me somewhere.

I’m not sure where to find it right now…

‘Someday I’ll find a way to know.’

A vague hope came to mind.

But I just thought it would take a little more time.

So, I thought of taking care of the things that were in front of me one by one.

“Come to think of it, the three princes were possessed by demons.”
