Chapter 159

My villains, episode 159

40. The pursuers again (3)

“Poi.”

Moongchi was waiting for me in the courtyard of the Yeongju Hall. He hid his hands behind his back and kept his gaze down.

“It’s cold. Did you wait here? Go into your room.”

“Eh no.”

Mungchi, who had been restless for some reason, seemed to be relaxed and lowered his head.

“It’s good to see you again.”

“what?”

“Use people. Poi won’t tell me. I’ll give it to you. It’s a regeneration.”

“...Are you sorry for killing people I didn’t ask you to do?”

“Yes, that is it. That’s all.”

In my experience, admitting a mistake before being reprimanded is a pretty good way of life. It is a skill that works especially well in organizations with strong hierarchies.

“Turn off” O.

It doesn’t feel very warm.

Not only do I have no intention of becoming the group’s boss, but what he says is slightly out of focus.

a huh”

I was thinking about how to tell the reason why I shouldn’t kill people, and I laughed involuntarily.

It’s funny.

Since I came to this world, the number of people I have killed is over 200. You were going to talk at length about why you shouldn’t commit murder on a topic like that.

“You did a good job today.”

“......yes?”

She lowered her voice as she glanced at the busy young maids.

“The old man you killed, named Maurio, is a complete human idiot.”

“Eh Malchong?”

“He’s a bad guy. You killed it well.”

” ah.”

The bundle nodded at my sudden praise. He pretends to be okay, but it seems that he feels very good when he wiggles his heels.

“But it’s a bunch.”

“yes?”

“I was lucky this time.”

“Are you lucky?”

“okay. This time, he was cheap even if he died, but what if he wasn’t?”

Avoiding the shifting soldiers, he continued talking while taking him to one side of the courtyard.

“You killed me abruptly, but now that I know it, what if I’m not such a bad guy?”

“Eh...

‘How do I do it?’ Big black eyes that read the question so easily.

I scratched my eyebrows and shrugged my shoulders.

“Something bad will happen to me as well as to you. Umm, it could hurt your heart, or you might have to be kicked out because of a bounty.”

“yes.”

A sigh comes out of nowhere at the vague eyes.

“...Anyway, you can’t kill people carelessly. If you feel like killing someone, ask me if you can.”

“I’m glad you know.”

The answer is very light when it comes to words in a commanding tone. Suddenly, the background story of the swordsman comes to mind.

An organization that moves secretly among the five kingdoms of the East, the “Unskilled Sword Society”. The swordsman was a kind of hit man secretly cultivated in the martial arts society.

The broken morals or the attitude of being accustomed to orders are probably due to that background.

“It’s still a bunch.”

“yes?”

“Killing people is very... um heavy. Getting permission from me does not ease the burden of murder.”

“Eh...

“So you should be able to judge yourself and take responsibility. Until you get used to that judgment, ask me. got it?”

Proudly, the face of Munchchi was also tinged with a serious light. The guy who was silent as if he was thinking over my words nodded his head.

The first thing that greeted us when we entered the backyard of the Yeongju Hall was Utequai’s shout.

“Phoenix is late again!”

“...Are you okay? Are you resting until today?”

“Can not be done. Rest more and it spreads like a cow’s ass.”

Perhaps in the midst of training, Utequai’s naked upper body was glistening with sweat. Near him, Amias’ gang, excluding Bunny, were scattered and covered in dust.

“Hee hee hee. Are you here, sir?”

“Boonie’s?”

Steedman, who was exuding steam from his shaved head among the guys who were eagerly greeting him, stood up and answered.

“Okay. I’m learning to read from that Beldin or something, a scribe.”

“From this morning?”

“yes. Anyway, I need to know that rotten guy’s excitement.” I burst out laughing at the guy’s grumbling.

“Did I make that flutter?”

“Huh yes?”

The magic swordsman Simos was also out in the backyard. Even though I was taken aback by my gaze, she greeted me with a calm face.

“Sir Phoenix.”

“Were you training together?”

“yes. I put on a pair of hats to adapt to my one remaining eye.”

“okay?”

My dark gray eyes fluttered slightly as I stared at Simos.

The magic swordsman Simos, no, the green-haired Morsis was still afraid of me. The hoax I showed you five days ago seemed pretty plausible.

“...Simos.”

“Yes yes?”

“Would you like to talk to me later when the sun goes down? I have something to ask you.”

When I smiled, she swallowed dryly and nodded.

“...yes. All right.” The protagonist of the resumed training was none other than Mungchi. It’s a new face, so it’s natural.

Since I was sufficiently relaxed from taking a walk in the early morning, I tried sparring with him right away.

I was worried that Mungchi would understand the fight, where you have to avoid getting hurt as much as possible, let alone kill your opponent, but he also knows about sparring.

“Let’s start when it’s convenient.”

“...to.”

After knocking on the shield and talking, Mungchi hesitated a bit and grabbed the stick. It was a very reluctant expression, but that was for a while.

“That”

The guy learned two new spells.

The first one is ‘Knives’.

It is wind magic that inflicts cutting damage in a small area. It was also the spell that Ellen had borrowed the power of the ‘West Wind Baton’ when we first met.

The second was ‘cold armor’.

As the name suggests, it is a cold-type defensive magic, and although it has a tricky corner to use, it is a useful skill in its own way. It was a spell that would make up for Ellen’s meager survivability.

“...but you don’t look good? It would be nice if the number of orders increased.”

“Nothing bad.”

Ellen pursed her lips and continued.

“Still annoying.”

“Is it annoying?”

“That’s not the order I wanted.”

“...just because of that?”

When I made an absurd expression, he shook his head with a serious face.

“’Just that’. I’ve been meditating for about a month and I’ve only reviewed earth spells. But to learn the wrong spell again.”

“You copied the order? Was it possible to learn magic that way?”

“It depends on your talent. I was looking forward to it this time as I had achieved success with this method...

The achievement he said was referring to a ‘blitzkrieg’ that I had never filmed but learned by myself. I remember being momentarily taken aback by looking at the character sheet at the time.

Looking down at the disappointed Ellen, I smiled.

“What spell did you want to learn?”

“......there is.”

“What? Say something.”

“What if you knew? Nothing changes.”

“Ugh. What is it? But tell me once.”

“I’m curious.”

When we sat next to each other and insisted on working, Ellen pretended not to win and gave an answer.

“...a passage through the land.”

“A passage through the land?”

It is a rank 2.5 skill of the Earth type. It’s also a spell that the wizard Siren used a dryad’s beard or something.

“Looking at it the other day, it seemed like a difficult spell to use.”

“...It’s not very efficient, but it’s a spell with infinite ways to apply.”

“What is it?”

I nodded for a moment, then expressed my doubts.

“But you said you want to learn earth-type spells?”

“I wanted to.”

“You are good at dealing with fire cold wind spells. Wouldn’t it be better to specialize in that field?”

“Nonsense.”

The boy shook his head with a determined expression.

“As I have said many times, the important thing is balance. You have to be able to handle all five elements freely in order to become a true wizard.”

“...Um, is that so?”

A wizard who can handle all five elements freely. So to speak, would it be ‘All Masters’?

It was inefficient in game.

You can learn all five elements, but it’s easy to become an asshole because you don’t have enough skill points. You won’t be able to learn the ultimate skill properly.

Suddenly, Trickster came to mind.

A bug character who even used ‘Dragon’s Breath’, the flame-type ultimate skill, on the subject of Urban Me.

Come to think of it, Ellen had already gotten free skill points several times. Wouldn’t it be possible to become a true All Master if I gained enough skill points while growing like this?

“...oh no way.”

“what?”

When Ellen made a puzzled expression, I shook my head and stood up.

“no. Let’s go get something to eat.”

After finishing the meal, I left the lord’s hall with Mungchi. It was to buy his equipment.

Amias gang was also with them. There are many materials to replenish, such as torches and oil arrows.

Ellen stayed in the lord’s house to practice her newly learned spell, and Utequai went back to her room to sleep.

While Amias and his gang stopped at the grocery store, we visited the military equipment store. Because it was a small manor, they sold weapons and armor as well as clothes.

I’ve already picked a shield I don’t know how many times I’ve picked up, and I’ve also picked up a few javelins. There was nothing useful about armor, so I just skipped it.

Did you say lupus? That armor was fine, but I’ll have to ask Dionea to borrow it again.

On the other hand, Mung-chin

and how much is all this.” “he.”

I took a lot of this and that.

I didn’t like the shoes, so I picked up a pair of light boots and a pair of thigh-high robes and Vambraces. I picked one awl-shaped dagger and one short sword, and I also took five light daggers.

As if that wasn’t enough, Mungchi looked around the shop for a while.

“Why are you looking for something?”

“Xiao nu. That’s how you shoot arrows.”

The store owner, recognizing the guy’s gestures, quickly waved his hand.

“If you are talking about a crossbow, there is no such thing. not for sale.”

“If you don’t sell a crossbow, give it to me.”

“A line?”

“yes. Give me a crossbow.”

“Not even that. We’re not going to sell finished equipment.” “Oooh.”

The store owner, Deok-in-ji, gave Mung-chi a cute, tear-stained swordsman as a bonus.

It was around the time I paid 15 silver coins and left the store.

“trunnion.”

Ungchi, dressed in all the equipment he bought, looked up at me with his hand on his waist.

Just a moment ago, he looked disappointed because he couldn’t find a crossbow, but now his eyes are twinkling in anticipation. What is it?

“...Um, doesn’t it suit you well?”

“swimming.”

That’s correct.

After purchasing supplies and joining Amias’ gang, he looked around the quiet streets and headed to the Yeongju Hall.

And I witnessed an unexpected sight.
