How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

87. Welcome to Karnai

Four wings spread majestically.

With that figure, he raised his chin and looked down at me.

“Yes. I am a celestial being who looks down on you from the highest place.”

As soon as I heard his words, a thought crossed my mind.

It wasn’t anything like awe.

‘Couldn’t it…did this guy also come to find Gauriel’s wings?’

It was such a question.

And soon, I knew my predictions weren’t wrong.

“I’ll ask you one thing. The roads keep overlapping… Where are they going?”

“I’m on my way to Karnai Ruins. Recently, anomalies have been discovered nearby, so I’m going to investigate. This is also the work of the Heretic Inquisitor.”

“This is a very strange thing. I’m on my way too…Do you know what’s there?”

“……”

“Why no answer?”

“Now I’m on my way to investigate, so I don’t know anything in particular. I’ll have to look for it from now on.”

I passed on the words, hiding my true feelings.

The corner of his mouth went up slightly at my unhindered reply.

“A mysterious human being. Even if you secretly see this kind of appearance, you will be overwhelmed by the greatness of the heavens.”

“I’ve already seen all kinds of stars.”

“Yeah, sure… that guy who accompanied you guys. It was definitely Lord Orhel, right? He’s a human who goes with the Vampire Lord. At first, I thought they were moving together by chance, but it wasn’t… “

“I ask this time. Why are you going to Karnai Ruins?”

“The heavenly thing is there. I am going to retrieve it.”

Even listening to it, I could be sure.

That this person came to find Gauriel’s wings.

So I pondered for a while.

‘If it’s an angel…but it’s an angel’s wings, should I make a concession?…’

at that time.

At the perfect timing, he revealed his true name.

“I am the one who followed Gauriel, one of the leaders of the heavens, and I am Petriel, the angel who commanded the legion in the highest place.”

“……”

Petriel?

Wait a minute……the name sounds familiar?

‘Petriel……Petriel. uh? Four wings, two more? Could it be Patyriel?’

An archangel with six wings.

Cold-blooded Archangel Patty, no, Petriel.

The reason he got that nickname was simple.

Light red wings nestled up and down.

It was because of the dark red wings in the center.

‘It looked like an undercooked patty stuck between bread.’

I don’t know who wrote it, but the naming sense, which is not very good, and the image that fits surprisingly well go hand in hand.

It could be said that it was a nickname that had changed almost like a pronoun.

‘The two red wings in the middle…were they Gauriel’s wings?’

Perhaps this was the moment Petriel evolved into Patiriel.

That’s why I couldn’t laugh.

The cold-blooded archangel was the one who voluntarily descended from the heavens with the idea of annihilating humans.

‘Yeah……the appearance of being ruthless towards thieves. I should have seen and noticed that. sh*t. I thought he would appear here…’

Contrary to how Gauriel came down to get closer to humans.

Petriel came down to destroy the human race itself forever.

Unlike Gauriel, who settled down on the ground forever, he only thought of going back to the heavens once he achieved his goal.

Of course, the big problem was that the goal was the extinction of humans.

‘Human beings are weak physically and mentally, and in the end, they will not be able to withstand the temptations of the devil and will all fall one day.’

I remember it being that kind of logic.

After all, he’s the type to be scared in advance.

Looking down on humans, it seemed that the blackening had already ended.

‘but. They said that when they came down to the ground in the first place, they had already had the purpose of annihilating humans.’

So soon, I thought I would kill myself too, I thought.

Anyway, now that I know the guy’s true identity, I’ve been contemplating whether to give up Gauriel’s wings or not.

It was promptly disposed of.

“One more drink!”

“Okay, another drink! Whoahahaha!”

After the interview with Petriel, return.

Andrew and Orhel were having a big drinking party.

Read at readwn.com

Just the two of you.

I approached Grendel, who looked at them pitifully, and asked.

“Why did you two suddenly become friends?”

“Do you know? I was suddenly like that.”

“suddenly?”

“Yes. After preparing for camp, Sir Andrew showed up with a wild boar on his back.”

……It was a scene that seemed like I had seen it somewhere, so it was immediately drawn in my head.

“I baked it and had a few drinks. It ended up like that.”

I rather thought it went well.

If you whisper too quietly, you might get suspicious.

I even called Diaz.

“Come here for a while.”

“Yes?”

Then, taking Grendel and Diaz, they joined Andrew and Orhel.

“Oh, brother for a drink?”

“Huh? Am I not your brother?”

“That’s right, that’s right! Now we’ve decided to be a brother! Then you’re a little brother, and this is a big brother!”

“That’s good! As expected, our brother Orhell!”

“Yes, yes. Ha ha ha ha!”

I sat right next to Orhel.

Diaz and Grendel were sent over to Andrew.

Then he glanced at both of them.

‘Pull out some time in a moderately loud atmosphere.’

Diaz and Grendel, how well they noticed my eyes.

It made the atmosphere lively and diverted attention.

And I only smiled and started talking to Orhel in a serious mood.

“It’s an important story. I want you to sober up.”

“What? Why? What’s going on?”

“If you don’t want to be stabbed by poisonous claws, get drunk quickly.”

“Eh… I was pleasantly drunk with a good drink for the first time in a while…”

He took a deep breath, and then exhaled.

I could feel the strong smell of alcohol in his breath.

At the same time, Orhel’s slightly twisted tone disappeared.

“What is it?”

“Listen with a smile.”

“Tell me, tell me.”

“The Paladin over there. Not a human.”

“……Not a human?”

“He’s an angel from heaven.”

“Somehow… I felt strangely uncomfortable from the first meeting. Was it an angel?”

Orhel sensibly raised his glass without looking at the angel.

so that there is no doubt on the other side.

“So. What are you going to do? Are you going to give up? Gauriel’s wings?”

“I was going to do that at first… but it seemed like it wouldn’t work.”

“why?”

“Patriel. He’s a dangerous guy.”

“Ah, um… Petriel? Have you heard of it? That, what are you talking about? Isn’t that him? A guy with no flexibility?”

Do you know Orhel?

It seemed that he was quite famous.

“That’s right. That’s Petriel.”

“Somehow… I almost couldn’t remember it. That guy was so clogged up.

“Sooner or later, he will realize his plan to exterminate humans. Then he will bite his teeth at me too.”

“Uh huh. That shouldn’t be true. If humans are exterminated, who will brew my alcohol?”

“……”

In the meantime, I would have thought that the alcohol would come out.

I let out a small sigh.

Of course, Orhel, who originally didn’t care much about such things, continued talking without hesitation.

“So, what are you going to do? It’s better to step back for a while. After they can’t find them and leave, can we step in?”

I shook my head.

If he retreated now, Gauriel’s wings would eventually fall into Petriel’s hands.

Because that was the original future.

So from my point of view, knowing the future, it was an option I couldn’t choose.

“That’s not possible. This time we will definitely find it. So this is our last chance. Our last chance to move ahead of Petriel.”

“Hmm……”

Orhel only knows that Gauriel’s wings are somewhere near the Karnai ruins.

The exact location was a situation where we also had to search.

Rather, if…

“Keep a close eye on them… It’s also a way to dig up their information.”

“After that?”

“If you know the exact location over there, you can follow them pretending not to know their intentions…”

I lowered my voice and whispered.

“I have to deal with it.”

“…It’s bloody…”

“Or, is there another way?”

“Well, there isn’t one. Either the other side or us anyway. It seems like the fight will end when one of them dies.”

Orhel also nodded.

“That’s what I mean. Perhaps the other side intends to use us moderately and then kill us. It’s just that we don’t know if they know more or if we know more, so we’re just putting it on hold for a while. He won’t try to kill him until then.”

“Anyway, I don’t know why so many scary things happen next to my brother… Ah, I’m hungry.”

I said a word to him and stood up.

“Drink in moderation. You never know what will happen tomorrow.”

“Yes, yes. If I don’t make it through tomorrow… I won’t be able to take a sip again.

Such a quiet but life-filled night… has passed.

* * *

Damn dag dag dag dag.

when the sun rises again

We retook our steps again.

With a quiet life without anyone speaking.

The expedition continued.

“Oh. I drank too much yesterday.”

“Kuh-kuh-kuh. That’s why I told you to drink slowly.”

“There are days like that. Strangely, days when you get drunk well.”

“Ah. I understand. Yes, yes. On days like that, you have to drink again.”

“No, but when I receive it, I receive it well, and the next day is like this, right?”

“The curious thing is, you know that and repeat it over and over again, right?”

“I see.”

Except for Andrew and Orhel.

It wasn’t bad for me.

Thanks to that, they’ll be confused whether we’re nervous, or whether we’ve really let go without knowing anything.

‘Still a little more troublesome…’

Half a day has passed since we moved in such an ambiguous atmosphere.

In the midst of hearing only Orhel and Andrew’s miscellaneous stories.

The paladin, no, Petriel, who had been quiet without talking to us, suddenly looked back and stopped.

“It’s arrived.”

When he stopped, our procession that followed naturally also stepped up.

To us, Petriel continued.

“Here it is. This is it.”

Petriel paused for a moment and stomped her feet.

Chaaa!

The wind blew in all directions centered on the sound of his feet.

And along with the wind, a heavy and holy energy of magic swept over the surroundings.

“It seems to have moved simply…”

“What kind of magical power…!”

Among us, only Grendel and Orhel, who were the least sensitive to magic, reacted greatly.

Of course, Diaz and Andrew, as well as I, felt that there was something very powerful…

It was unclear to what extent this was.

One, that is, seeing and feeling the scope of that power with my own eyes.

Hidden behind the magic, the huge ruins revealed their grandeur.

Diaz and Grendel opened their mouths at that.

“Unbelievable……”

“It’s a very… high level magic.”

The others were not very different.

I just didn’t speak.

Petriel smiled at us.

If you didn’t know it, you wouldn’t have known it… When you saw that smile after knowing the dark side, you could feel again the fact that you were clearly looking down.

“Now. Let’s go in. Welcome to Karnai.”

We, who moved forward while maintaining an indescribably unstable alliance.

I finally set foot inside the Karnai ruins.
