6 – break (1)

Bloody Veles, an officer in the Demon King’s Army, was a guy who knew a lot of important information. That’s why the work of torturing and brainwashing him to dig out information was done.

We had to move to Lebra Village as originally planned while the army was collecting information on the demon army. Thanks to leaving a day later than scheduled, I was able to spend a hot night with the widow, and my companions were also able to set out on the journey with clean faces.

On the way, the hero got a chance to check the valley that the bloodied Veles was blocking. There was a narrow passage between two V-shaped rocks, and a wooden fence and a spear were inserted to block the entrance. Looking at it during the day, if only this place was guarded, ordinary soldiers would not be able to penetrate it.

“Why did you come out here?”

“Someone must have threatened me with a knife. Come out now! do.”

Lena joked, and the hero nodded earnestly as he passed the road. I glanced at Lena and noticed, but Lena hummed and kicked the demon corpse she hadn’t cleaned up yet. The rotting corpse’s head fell helplessly and rolled across the floor.

Lebra Village was a huge village closer to a city than a village. It was unexpectedly prosperous because all trade routes within the kingdom passed through this village, but it has been said that it remained an incomplete village because the ground and topography were not good enough to build a wall and turn it into a city.

As if to prove this story, the wall that was made poorly for the exhibition was so shabby that it seemed like it would collapse even if we just put our bodies in and rub it. The hero nodded as he touched the wall, and Millet expressed his impression that the wall was just like an elf’s house.

“It is difficult to pass this wall. It’s noisy when it collapses after giving it strength.”

Lena commented on the wall from a thief’s point of view, and we arrived at the village with a relaxed mind. The warrior opened the document and talked about the future schedule.

“First of all, it seems that the kingdom army had a great harvest thanks to our capture of the Demon King’s army officer. I need to change my plan of future operations according to the information I found out, so I’ll take a good rest today and designate my next destination tomorrow. It’s because it’s a town with a lot of variety. I want to relax and rest a little today.”

No one hates the word rest. Lena whistled and nodded, and Ashuria and Millet also reacted. Millet said while holding the hero’s hand.

“Warrior! Then let’s go to our market to play! Looking at it earlier, there were a lot of really interesting things!”

Then Ashuria laughed as she held the hero’s opposite hand.

“The hero will go to church with me and pray for the next operation. Are you going to church?”

The hero pushed the two clinging people away with a puzzled face and said.

“Sorry, I have a little talk with the baron who manages the village here.”

When they said they had something to do, Millet and Ashuria both looked sad, but they didn’t bother asking the hero any further. Every time the hero went to a village or city, he would greet the nobles or have important conversations. As far as I know, I heard that a hero grew up wielding only a sword in a rural village, but I couldn’t figure out what the hell he was talking about with nobles.

After the hero disappeared, I sat down on a chair and looked out the window after I finished packing my things. As it was a bustling town, there were many people dressed in exotic clothes, and the items on the cart were as colorful as the people walking the streets. The touts gathered people by dancing or playing musical instruments, and they held on to passers-by tenaciously, begging them to look at things.

“Go and see this. Things are cheap!”

“Lots of good stuff here!”

I felt good just by looking at the sight. Stretching out, I moved the chair in a sunny direction, then closed my eyes. The sound of chatter and the rolling of wheels. People chatting downstairs in the dorm. All sounds drowned in the darkness, and I fell asleep in my sunlit vision, a dark orange.

“mister. ruler?”

A chill hit my cheek and I opened my eyes. A cold bottle was rubbing my cheek. A bottle of ice water jingled in front of me, dripping on the surface and burning my throat. I stretched out and accepted the bottle.

The sound of the touts has died down and the number of people walking the streets has decreased slightly. Seeing that the sun was rising in the east, it seemed that he had slept for a long time. I said to Lena as I took a drink of water.

“What’s wrong?”

“The warrior said we should eat together? He said he got a restaurant ticket.”

“A meal ticket?”

He said he was going to meet the baron, so did he give him a ticket to a fancy restaurant? I came down rubbing my temples. In front of the inn, the entire party, including the warrior, had gathered. Ashuria and Millet seemed happy at the thought of having lunch with the hero, and Lena was also humming a song.

The warrior said with a pleasant face.

“Folk play in front of here? There is an uncle who does the same thing. I played games with that man, isn’t there something he’s really good at?”

“game?”

Lena was intrigued by the word game and asked a question. The warrior nodded and continued.

“Yeah game. We put 3 cups in front of you and played a game of guessing which cup had the contents. You’re so good, I lost a lot of money, but you gave me a meal ticket like this to say thank you for playing with me, right?”

I winked at Lena. Except for the warrior who smiled amicably, everyone’s expressions were strangely hardened. Millet looked troubled because she didn’t know what to say, and Ashria was openly expressing her discomfort. said Lena.

“Oh, that game sounds like a lot of fun. where do you do it I want to try it too.”

“uh? Here, as you said before. I don’t know if it’s still there.”

“Wait, warrior. I’ll go and get them all.”

Ashuria stood up pretending nothing happened and said.

“I will go up to my room for a moment. You didn’t bring the knuckle you use when eating.”

“ah! I didn’t even bring a bow for eating!”

“…when to eat?”

The hero tried to ask a question with a puzzled face, but Ashuria put his hand on my shoulder and said, faster than the hero’s question.

“Cut your time.”

I nodded and sat down with the hero. When the hero sat down with me, he rolled his eyes with a strangely nervous face, and tapped the desk.

“Everybody is gone.”

“Didn’t the hero say he was from the countryside?”

The hero shook his shoulders at my words and nodded with an awkward smile.

“Yes? Ah yes. It was. I am from the countryside. I only wielded my sword in the countryside all day, so I don’t know much about the world.”

“okay. Actually, I grew up in the countryside when I was young. It was a place where the air was fresh.”

“Ah, that must have been nice.”

The hero did not sympathize with my words, but sent longing eyes. I nodded and looked around. Ashria and Millet were coming down the stairs very slowly. I felt the need to take more time.

“What kind of place did the warrior live in?”

The hero rolled his eyes here and there and continued talking.

“uh… … . It was a place with very fresh air and clear water. That… … . The deer were running around and the mountain birds were crying. Where I lived, only me, my father, and my mother lived, so I swung my sword all day long.”

“okay. What was your father like?”

“He was a wonderful person. uh… … . I was a woodcutter. that’s right. great woodcutter. That… … . I was praised by the people in the neighborhood for being a very good person.”

“okay. He is said to be a great woodcutter, so I would like to meet him once. In fact, there were a few woodcutters among my friends. They were all guys with big arms and ignorant alcohol. Did your father like to drink too?”

I nodded and told the warrior to speak. With this momentum, it seemed like it could pass the time.

“ruler! ruler! Spend money and eat money!”

The slender man felt good today because he extorted money from a knight dressed in fancy clothes and as handsome as a woman. Just what I earned today was enough to last a week. Thinking of how good it would be if this kind of luck came every day, he attracted people.

It was because I thought I should receive more customers on a day like today when I was making good money.

“Wow, that would be fun. Join me too.”

And in front of such a slender man, a woman with a spider tattoo on her neck walked humming a song. The sleazy man was flattered that he had a guest, but when he saw the tattoo on her neck, he stiffened and averted his gaze. The woman chewed gum and put her face in front of the slender man’s nose and said with a smile.

“what are you doing? start.”

“Oh that… … . Now, no business.”

The woman grinned and stopped chewing gum. Then she licked her lips with her tongue and tilted her head slightly, looking straight into the man’s eyes. The man was busy avoiding his eyes, so cold sweat ran down his face.

“What are you doing? I saw everything you did earlier.”

“Oh, that was the end! Cow, my wrist hurts… … ! Now, oh, the day is over! Today is… … !”

The sloppy man screamed and tried to remove the cup from the table.

Pak!

“hehehehe!”

A sharp dagger cut the cup in two and plunged it into the table. The woman laughed and said.

“It annoys me. Do you want to try it? Aren’t people’s words the same as words? Do the things you used to rob my friends in front of me.”

In the man’s mind, the article he had just laughed like a hogu came to mind. I thought I was a saengnim who doesn’t know the world, but I didn’t know there would be a back ship like this. The man knelt down and began begging the woman.

“Sin, sorry! Oh, I’ll give you my money back! Hey, here’s the money! Ha, because I didn’t spend a penny! Please save me!”

The woman spat gum on the floor with a happy face as she counted the money.

“It is good through words. yes. then suffer mister. Don’t meet me on the street?”

“Ah yes! Yes!”

The woman has gone far away. As soon as the man saw the woman disappear, he frantically started packing his things. According to his intuition, this threat did not end once and for all. I had to leave this city as soon as possible to save my life. After folding the desk into a bag, wrapping a cloth for business in a cloth, I looked around and walked down the back alley.

“100 million!”

Then, a rope was caught around his neck, and he was dragged deeper into the alley without a chance to resist.

“Who, who… ! town… !”

A heavy cloth was stuck in the man’s mouth, and arrows were stuck in both hands. Because of the arrow that pierced the wall, the man tried to scream, but only a blocked scream dominated the alley.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Shh.”

A black-haired, black-eyed nun appeared in front of the man, wearing her knuckles.

“God hears you. be quiet.”
