118 Episode 73: Cold Village and Bandits

The next day, after enjoying seven days of free movement in the Union of Athens, we were on a carriage to our next destination, the Crimson Empire.

I've been flying around (not metaphorically) within the Union of Ato Nations for the past seven days, but if I just go from the Kingdom of Estea to the Crimson Empire, I just need to cross two countries, the Duchy of Ligant and the Kingdom of Narunka.

The last person to go during free movement is the King Narnka capital, so if you cross three villages to the east, you will reach the Crimson Empire.

Rouge and Minerva, who guide the Crimson Empire, are going to call even when they stop by the last village.

For this reason, I am now the usual member + alpha who says I, Sakura, Dora, Mio, Maria, Serra and Hidden Tamo.

If you have limited time, you may also use the Wings of the Immortal (Nosferatu), a magic tool for flight (magic item) because you don't have time to travel.

However, there is no time limit for this trip to the Crimson Empire, so I can take the carriage slowly to get there.

As far as I'm concerned, I like to take a slow journey in a carriage.

If you think about it, you haven't been in a carriage in a while from the Estea Kingdom.

Because I don't need a carriage while diving into the labyrinth, and I was flying in the sky with speed precedence when I was free to move... Sorry, horse.

By the way, your man is not Maria... but Asha, who recently joined his subordination.

In a nutshell, Asha's skill composition is' Demon and Beast Expert (Specialist) ', higher than Maria's when it comes to her skills.

When I told my maid, Lucea, that I would be traveling by carriage, I advised Asha to be your man.

If she can, she wants Maria to focus on my escort. Overprotective…….

"What a husband you are to use me as your A-rank adventurer..."

"Are you dissatisfied?

Ask Asha a question as Maria skips the kill.

"Well, I'm not saying that. Look, I'm an A-rank adventurer, okay? I think it's better to let them fight than to let them fight you."

Answer, frightened by Maria's killing, giggling her legs.

"But that's what I told you, in a mock fight, the maids turned you into a cotempan, right?

"Ugh! That maid over there, she's too strong..."

To Mio's relentless words, Asha collapses.

They were doing some kind of mock fight or something. Of course, it was Asha who lost.

Even if it collapses, it's the boulders that are making good progress on the carriage......

"In the first place, I'm a demon, and I'm not that good at direct combat, am I?

Asha's submissive demon was wiped out when he lost his battle with Giganto Maneater, and there's nothing he can do now but fight directly.

"That's why you're making them work as you are, isn't it?

"There's nothing I can do when they say that..."

"You can be free when you're not doing your thing, so in the meantime, you'll increase your obedience so you can name a demon."

"That's right..."

Exactly because it's impossible to name 'Tamer' with 0 submissive demons.

"But your husband's squire, isn't there too much amazing about it? I've never seen a line so rare..."

"That's your husband."

"Right."

"Right......"

"Of course you do, Jen."

"Yes!"

... Can I consider this to be trusted?

... Wouldn't they just think it's not weird what they're doing?

"Well, I'm a Tame, but I'm not a Demon."

"Sounds like it. Your husband doesn't seem to be the type to use demons directly to do something, so I don't think he means a lot to me."

"Well, it's not that I'm not interested in what Asha calls direct service."

"Really? Um, I guess it's the horseman that's easy to understand in direct service. I was riding a beast when I was on the move."

Riding beasts, as its name suggests, are demons that are treated as vehicles.

It means almost the same as horseback riding, and it's not limited to demons.

But demons are more sturdy than horses and other beasts, so basically anything that can take a taste of demons chooses demons.

With that said, I also feel Bassari truncated that the Maple of the Great Sea Serpent (Sea Serpent) said it could be a horseman that supports all land, sea and air.

"Oh, now we're talking about a horseman? I'm interested because Mio has a wolf submissive who can also be a horseman!

"Potatoes with Mr. Mio on them couldn't move around, could they?

"Well, yes... Because he's poor."

Mio was about to move around on a wolf (potato chi), a submissive demon, and try the style of shooting a bow in that state.

If I tell you, it's a subspecies of drifting horses. Or with a hunting people?

But with Mio on board, Potatoes can't move quickly, so unfortunately, they came in.

"I've tamed werewolf demons, too, and I used to be a horseman for a time."

"Really? How'd it go?

Apparently Asha has taemed all sorts of demons before, and seems to be able to give all sorts of advice.

"I guess it's the neck that's not the right kind of race to run people on. It's fascinating how capable you are to fight."

"... Can we do something about it if we give Potatoes some more status?

"But when you try to get into battle, you're gonna do everything you can to resist, right?

"Well, yes... Because she's a jerk."

Defeating demons distributes stats by.

Some of those things naturally fall under muscle strength, so if you continue fighting, you will naturally also be able to put Mio on board.

But hectic potatoes don't try to go into battle.

I would walk around the city (insist on being a dog), but I would never go out of the city.

Now I'm surprised you call it a wild demon.

"Maybe next time I'll force you to take me on an adventure..."

"Keep it that way..."

"Don't push him too hard because he's unsuitable"

"Yeah."

Mio's obedient demon, so it's not something I or Asha would talk about.

Well, being cute sounds like a fact in itself, so it won't be that bad.

Don't you think Dora can do it?

Dora asked me questions when I was talking about that.

Even when I say I'll make Dora a horseman, she's a small feather dragon even in the form of a dragon.

Not very much but not the size to ride.

"Jen, can you fight on Dora...?

"You can't physically or mentally."

"That's right...... I definitely can't either......"

I looked into the feather dragon before, but where it grew to its maximum size, it's not very much but it's impossible to get people on board.

Thanks to my arm strength and < flying > skills, I may be able to force myself to fly, but no matter how I look at it, it will no longer be what I can call a horseman, and it will only look like animal abuse in the first place.

"This kid, he's a dragon, isn't he? And feather dragon......"

"Oh, a race that can be both dragons and people"

"I've never even heard of that..."

"You don't study."

"Don't be impotent..."

Neither did Asha seem to know about the dragon race (Dragon Newt).

The demon expert hears and shudders.

Whoa, Dora's beast aspirations are more important than that.

"Dora wants me on board?

"Yeah, that way, I'll be with you."

This kid is super cute.

I don't say I can do what I can't do, but for now I stroke Dora on my lap.

be healed.

Eh heh.

"Jen, I think you like Dora too much..."

Because you're cute. My kid.

"But, your husband. Don't you think dragon riders are cool?

"Sure you do. By that I mean, does Mio want to try to ride the dragon?

If you like fantasy, you'll admire it somewhat. With the Dragon Knight?

Compared to that, the sea snake (Cesarpent) is a little picturesque......

"Yeah, nothing."

"Then why did you say it..."

"No, it's not that I want to serve, I was wondering if you could put me behind the dragon your husband serves. He's called Princess Pozi. There are some princesses and queens I know..."

"Are you a princess...... But I don't like Eldia's princess close to the No. 1 fantasy novel......"

The princess of the country who called the brave, so it would be close to heroine number one, simply to think about it.

Naturally, I hate Eldia's princess just as much as Sakura.

"If only Dora had more..."

"When we grow up, we won't be able to sleep together, okay?

It's my favorite pillow because it's the size that fits in my arm.

It will be difficult to make it into a pillow as it has always been after it has become a beast size.

Dora Kiji-kun!

"Right, right."

Dora translating the declaration lightly.

You seem to have chosen to be my pillow rather than with me as a horseman.

"Really, when I'm here, my previous common sense will make a noise and break..."

Asha sighed when she saw us like that.

We proceeded with the carriage as we chatted and in the evening we arrived in the first village on the east side from King Narunka's capital.

I'm going to stop the carriage here today and rest.

The Kingdom of Narunka is a terribly centralized country.

Even the first village on the east side, or one nearest to the Wang capital, is called the 'Cold Village'.

For several years now the kingdom of Narnka had been effectively ruled by the golden fox, the moon night, and was designed to become a little exhausted.

But only this centralization had nothing to do with the conduct of the moon and night, and it had been so from the beginning.

That also seems to be the reason for the toll to the King Narnka capital, which was originally slightly higher.

Okay, let's get down to business.

It was originally Cold Village, but what would happen if I received a exhaustion policy due to moonlight?

"You're really critical that people don't die..."

"Conversely, you often don't starve to death with this..."

As soon as I entered the village, it was a feeling I had with Sakura.

Simply put, he was suffering from food at a critical level where no starving deaths would occur.

The villagers are thin enough to see, and I don't see a single one that looks healthy, etc.

In the meantime, a villager noticed us.

"Yay, here comes the traveler!!

"Ho, it's true!

"Give me something to eat! Give me some food!!!

At the same time that the villagers who noticed us scream, the surrounding villagers turn to us as they respond to it.

Because of my hunger, I can't feel the power in my footsteps, but when I realized it, I was approaching more than 10 people.

"Get away from me"

It was Maria who said that.

Maria jumps off the carriage and points her sword at the approaching villagers as she leaves it in her sheath.

Besides, you're mildly intimidating.

"I can see your situation, but I won't allow you to approach inadvertently."

Villagers who are pressured by Maria's intimidation and stop about 5m away.

If you think of Maria as an escort, it's problematic that someone you don't know surrounds you with an escort. Overprotective…….

"Wow, I'm not going to be evil... I just want you to share it with me if you have food..."

"That's right. I haven't eaten properly in days. I can't work because I can't even work. It's blocked all the way."

The villagers look sad and complain.

Yeah, you were a little mistaken.

Saying the critical predicament that no starving death will come out, if you no longer have the power to just get the next food, that's just a starving death reserve that will eventually starve to death.

Everyone in this village is a reserve for the dead.

Clearly, there is no future.

That's crazy......

I'm telling you, the moon and night were adjusting to keep the dead from coming out, but if we leave this village alone, we'll have a starving death?

That would be almost total annihilation too, not one or two people.

Did the moon and night fail something?

A: No. Although living standards were low in moon-night policy, no starving deaths were allowed. This case has another cause.

What's that?

A: I found out from the map confirmation that there are bandits nearby. I thought I took it from this village and the food is there.

Well, you couldn't even assume the moon and night until the bandits existed.

Could it be that those guys who had trouble eating because of the moon-night policy have become bandits?

A: No. He is the one who has flown from other countries. I am not the victim of a month-night policy.

Right.... then I don't need any hesitation.

Of course, I would not condone anything more than being a bandit, even if I were a victim of the moon and night.

For whatever reason, I'm not sweet or gentle enough to forgive anyone who chooses to become an assailant myself.

Well, only life (...) could have helped...

It seems Maria is not going to negotiate, and she is silently pointing her sword at the villagers.

Well, it looks like the person is going to be the escort, and it's a problem for the escort to start negotiations in defiance of his husband's intentions.

I can't go on like this, so I'm going outside the carriage, too.

"I don't mind. Fortunately, there's enough food to distribute."

Of course, the food is in.

Much of it was bought around by the maid squad.

Apart from that, there are also rice and vegetables harvested in labyrinth-based agriculture.

Finally, it won't rot if you put it in the Infinite Storage (Inventory), so the maids use it easily.

As a result, some of the infinite storage (inventory) was packed with enough food to say whether this was still the case.

Currently, the # 1 item in the Inventory is groceries.

"Really?!?

"I appreciate it. We can handle this."

"But I can't believe I can pay you..."

"Heck, the bandits took it all..."

Apparently, there's nothing like a consideration for food.

After a while, one of them speaks with a face like he came up with a proposal.

"Oh, yeah! My boy, get my boy!

"Oh boy, are you going to sell it!?

"No matter how long you stay in the village, it won't last! Some bandits! Then I'd be happier if a wealthy traveler gave it to me!

"Ugh..., it makes sense. This village is over more than a bandit..."

Oh, this is the same pattern as the labyrinth group (Cynthias) village.

That time it was caused by demons coming out of the labyrinth, but this time the villages are going to perish because of bandits?

I wonder if this flow will make a few kids my slaves (I'm quick).

But anyway, if you're an orphan, buying children directly from their parents is just resistant......

"And for the record, traveler, get my daughter for my wife (...)!

"What?"

... it was in a different direction than I had thought subtly.

"Even my concubine is fine. And, anyway, if you take me out of this village..."

"The house is full of daughters. It's a little small, but, daughter-in-law, I want you to do it for me."

"Hmm."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is too much talk."

I can't pack anymore, so let it calm down once.

Regardless of the small-time use ("maid"), I don't want my wife and concubine at all.

"First of all, I'd like to ask, is there anything that would normally be a consideration for food?

"No... Bandits took it all away 3 days ago. And the bandit took away the food, and the golden-eyed thing without it. The only people left in the village are hungry and unable to move properly."

"So you needed food..."

For once, we have to talk about bandits with a body we don't know about. Terrible.

"That's right. But if you don't take it today, you'll be taken again tomorrow."

"What do you mean?

"The Bandits said they'll be back tomorrow at noon..."

"Are you coming back?

Bandits coming to the village they attacked once?

It doesn't seem to taste good when I think about it normally, but what's the point?

"That's right..." He's coming to see how we are. "

I don't know what that means.

"Those bandits are insane! The previous raid took food and hardware, and no one killed or grabbed it! I'll kill that horse, and I'll destroy the fields!

"Hmm."

"You're not the same bandit I know."

Ordinary bandits are inspired by the motto 'take, offend, kill'.

It's certainly odd that the villagers and women haven't been badly looked at in that stream.

No, it doesn't mean I should be in terrible shape...

"When I heard the purpose of the bandits, your head and the boy said: 'I want to see how the starving die. I want you to eat with me if you can'..."

"Wow..."

It is a dong pull.

Sure, if that's what it's all about, I can be convinced of the Bandits' actions...

Take the food, destroy the fields more than take the gold, and kill the horses because they can't go buy the food.

I don't kill people because it consumes more food.

And it would be to increase the sample of starving deaths. If the number increases, don't increase the likelihood of dyeing your hands with contraindications.

I don't understand it at all, but I'm convinced.

You sure are out of your mind.

A: The heads of the bandits have arrived in Azito, a bandit in an adjacent area.

Hmm? Why are you reporting that now?

A: Because the Bandits' heads are brave.

... what?

A: Master says the crazy bandit's head is' The Brave Men of the Other World '.

Unexpectedly check the map and see the names displayed there to convince.

I see, was he the crazy bandit...

Name: Yuki Sano

LV38

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Race: Human (otherworldly)

Skill: < archery LV2 > < assassination LV1 > < thief LV2 > < torture LV3 > < night LV3 > < escape LV2 >

Title: Metastatic, Divergent Brave, Murderer

Very, very unfortunately, this man also knows, following the lower part of the sun, which he defeated in the Kingdom of Estea.

Don't get me wrong, it's just that 'we know each other' and we're not friends.

Let me enumerate exactly who I am.

· Moved in about a month before the brave summons (for unknown reasons).

-The house is wealthy.

· If I did it about past tragic incidents and human anatomy, I would be familiar.

· My hobby is to collect survival knives.

-It possesses bogan.

-They 're bumping into each other as they write something down in their notebook that they don't like.

- I would never thank you.

· The laugh is "Fuhihi".

You should already understand what kind of person this is all about.

You don't want them to think you're a friend, do you?

By the way, all I've listed here are the ones with the back removed.

If it's just rumors, there are five times this.

Given the fact that the skill column is quite noisy (slightly boomerang) and the high skill level in vain, I guess I was doing something similar in the original world.

Looks like it's easier to improve your skills in this world when you're acting like one in the original world.

Well, putting aside the details, if you look in the title section, it's a one-shot gilty......

gossip.

"Why aren't you leaving the village? This village isn't that far from the king's capital, is it?

"It's no use. If Ora and the others go to the king's capital, they can't pay the toll and die in the wild."

"Hmm."

The toll to the Wangdu Narun is currently 10,000 gold.

They say this will not change whether you are a citizen or not, with some exceptions.

Not the amount you can pay the villagers after the bandits take their gold objects.

Incidentally, the toll to King's Capital within should be revised to 1000 gold.

I gave instructions to the Royal Palace via maid.

Of course, the villagers here can't possibly know...

"Every village has been tough the last few years. If you go to another village, they'll kick you out."

"There's nothing more I can do. This village can only perish..."

"That's right. That's why I want you to take some kids alone."

"Worst of all, even slaves are fine. Better than dying in this village..."

We went a little farther, but I knew we were going to move on in the direction of handing the child over as a slave.

So he says he doesn't like to be forced away from his parents...

"I got the story. But let me think about taking the kids for a while. I'm staying in this village today."

"Are you insane!? The bandits are coming tomorrow!?

"The bandit said noon, didn't he? I'll be out before the bandits get here."

"Well, then we can work it out, be...?

I don't know if the bandits are really coming at noon as declared, but the map makes it possible to detect the proximity of the bandits, so no problem.

"And don't worry. I'll distribute the first food you said for free."

"Huh? Is that okay? I didn't pay..."

"Oh, I don't mind.... it's like I already got it."

You don't seem to understand my last whine very well.

Well, that's it. The usual.

< Toyota >

On farms managed by owners, crop yields rise and quality also improves. The burden on the soil will be reduced and it will be possible to work in tandem in most crops.

Armed Repair

The equipped weapons and protective equipment are automatically repaired (repair speed is level dependent). Complete damage cannot be cured. Agricultural tools are also automatically repaired with armed handling.

Bad luck

Bad luck.

In villages with a population of less than 100, all three had unique skills.

If you think calmly, the odds are a little strange.

... I think they said 'Don't you say' something.

I don't know if there's anything in this village's location or if there's a reason for this village's lineage, but maybe it's a village where unique skills are born if you do.

Anyway, in exchange for food, I was allowed to copy three unique skills.

Whatever the use, it would be enough as a consideration for food because it looks rare anyway.

For the record, I only took it all away from you. It's rare, but you can't have it.

Food was then distributed to the villagers who had gathered.

Seeing how it's going, apparently we're going to do a cookout.

So we also called for a cooking maid (who insisted on being there from the beginning) and let her cook it out with Mio.

Naturally, it goes without saying that our cookout has become the most popular.

I just made the rice cooking in a big pot......

Well, we're eating, too, but we got into a little trouble.

"Sir. Hey, I'll take good care of you. So take him."

"Cook... if you can't win, I'll take care of cleaning and laundry."

"Oh, make me a concubine. I don't have any experience, but I'll do my best."

"It's hard to tell you to be my wife when you're with such a beautiful woman... Please be my concubine."

I guess it's because I said 'think for a while'.

About 10 daughters from the village came to me earlier to make an appeal.

Perhaps my parents have told me to appeal to you so that you can get me out of the village.

A: Correct.

That's why.

Beauty Bureau, I don't suppose that's to say, but you're not happy about anything, even if you're downhearted and snuggled up.

By the way, Maria is driving me away from by my side.

"Master, you're hot. Happy?"

"No, I'm not happy to be appealed to with such an unavailable face"

Mio browns, but shakes his neck to the side to deny it.

"If you're really into it, you still can't let a woman you're prepared for come near Jen."

Maria snorts, too.

The daughters who approached me had an irresistible look.

It was obvious that whoever saw it could not do it.

"That appeal will be gone after the bandits are gone."

"The brave bandit, Jen, you know him, don't you?

"You said you knew each other hard. He said he'd be angry if he treated me like a friend..."

"Your husband says so much, so that's pretty good."

"Oh. But Sano's guy, he had a terrible reputation, but you don't know Sakura?

I should have gotten pretty famous in a bad way in school.

Well, the guy who really sucks can't be that easily famous... Sano is a low-ranking bad guy in that sense.

"I didn't have any friends who could hear the reputation of others...... I couldn't afford to be listening to people's reputations..."

"... sorry"

Sakura, if you're the other person, it's hard to shake the topic of the original world.

That's weird. I'm supposed to be the person whose original world story plays the most......

· Unique Skills

There is no concept in this world that I said skills, unique skills.

However, not many find themselves with special talents (unique skills).

In fact, S-Rank Adventurers have many of these unique skills that are useful and leverage them to the S-Rank.

Although not many humans have relatively plain unique skills, as in the villages visited by Jen Dae, in the case of plain unique skills, they often end their lives without knowing otherwise.

Incidentally, the girl in the village was the owner, but she realized she was twice as lucky. Happy or not is a different story.
