Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 246
◈ 246. [Side Story] Box Gang (6)
Surprisingly, somehow, unbelievably!
Both boxes contained complete equipment..
‘Jeenjang, I believed it! Use it!’
As expected, Tsualsin and I get along very well! I'll have to set up the ancestral rite table later and bow to you or something..
SSR grade equipment came out of SSR grade boxes, and SR grade equipment came out of SR grade boxes. It's nice to be honest.
[Rewards]
- Blink Knife (SSR))
- Armed Assault (SR))
I first took the Blink knife and whistled..
‘Oh my god, blink dagger!’
As a weapon, it is ordinary with no special features, but the true value of this dagger is its special ability..
After throwing a dagger, it allows the user to teleport to the location of the dagger..
The cooldown is quite long at 5 turns (15 minutes), but its deceptiveness is revealed in the fact that it gives the character one movement device..
The downside is that its performance is poor because it lacks the blinking function..
It deals less damage than most R-grade daggers and has low durability. Still, it's worth adopting just for the blinking function alone..
‘But who will give this to me... … There are no dagger users.…….’
Should I give it to Serenade's escort, Elyse? It seems like he carries all kinds of weapons on his back and a sword, and he also uses a dagger.…….
‘ah! Or Verdandi?’
Verdandi is an assassin class, so it will suit him very well and be useful..
The problem is that he is not under my command, but a temporary guest character..
‘……Should I think about it a little more?.’
First, throw the dagger into your inventory, then.
SR grade gauntlet, armed assault!
In games, it is usually abbreviated as AA..
AA is an abbreviation for Armed Assault, but it is also an abbreviation for Auto-Attack..
It can be said to be an abbreviation that fits well with Armed Assault, a basic attack strengthening equipment..
The performance is simple and powerful, and adds fixed damage to normal attacks..
Although the number is not high, fixed damage is accumulated as normal attacks are accumulated, and martial artists are a class with a high proportion of basic attacks..
In addition, since it is SR grade equipment, it is relatively easy to farm and you can obtain multiple pieces, so if you are training a fighter, most people choose this..
You could say it's school uniform equipment..
The explanation was lengthy, but there was only one person who would wear this anyway..
‘Kuilan you bastard! How many pieces of high-level equipment are you wasting?!’
The right hand is in Lucky Strike (SSR), the leg is in Vampire General's Boots (SSR), the auxiliary equipment is in Vampire General's Muffler (SSR), and now the left hand is Armed Assault (SR)..
They are plastered with items that are more expensive than most first-tier units. But I still feel anxious, so I want this.
‘Is it right, my investment?…….’
It feels like I keep buying more stocks that are sloping downward and falling into the blue world, thinking, 'I'll hit the jackpot someday!'.
Anyway, the main party members are only vaguely equipped, so the only character to pour resources into right now is Kuilan..
‘Please let’s have fun, you bandit king.…….’
Kuilan will soon be level 50..
I just hope that he can achieve the ultimate goal and be rewarded. Come on!
***
When I woke up, it was just before noon..
I drank a glass of cold water and headed straight to the barracks. While I was pulling out the equipment, I wanted to throw it to Kuilan..
When I said I was going to see Kuilan, Lucas, who was acting as an escort, made a subtle expression. What, why?
“No, we had some training last night.…….”
“Eh? yesterday? I went on a free expedition and trained again.?”
“yes. Me, Evangeline, Damian, and Kuilan. Four of us.”
“Why don't you keep banding together without me??”
If things continue like this, the prince will be disappointed. Of course, I have no intention of participating in late-night training. I don't want to sweat!
“It seemed like Kuilan was in trouble, so I beat him up as much as I could..”
Lucas muttered with a faint sneer on his lips..
“I might not wake up today.”
“What did you do to the kid, man?…….”
So the barracks. When we arrived at the penal unit's quarters, it was real..
“Ugh… … Wow…….”
The large fighter was sprawled out on his bed, making loud noises. oh my god.
“What would you do to a child with weak willpower?!”
“When your body is tired, your mental anguish also goes away. Kuilan will be grateful to me for making his body suffer so that he doesn't have time to worry..”
Lucas blurted out shamelessly. You're good at making macho-sounding comments like this, you know.!
“Ah, His Royal Highness.”
At that time, a thin man with a limp came out of the dorm..
It had the same red hair color as Kuilan, and the same doggy hair style. Was he Kuilan's older brother??
“Uh, so the name is…….”
“My name is Kureha, Your Majesty..”
Kureha smiled and greeted Kureha, then glanced at Kuilan..
“My younger brother trained at the training center all night yesterday... … After doing this, he continues to suffer. Sorry, but it looks like I'll be like that all day today.…….”
“Well, I can't help it. Then, could you pass this on to me??”
I handed Kureha the gauntlets I pulled out this morning..
“It's a new gauntlet. Tell him he can wear the Lucky Strike on his right hand and this on his left hand..”
“Okay, Your Highness… … Then the remaining part is?”
Of course, there are two pairs of gauntlets, left and right. Kuilan is wearing different equipment on the left and right, so one side remains..
“Tell me to keep a spare like Lucky Strike. If this happens, you will have to replace it..”
“All right.”
Kureha carefully placed the equipment on the table and asked me with a smile..
“How can you at least have a meal after walking a long way??”
When I looked inside the accommodation, there was a mountain of food being cooked.…….
A smell similar to the one I had when I visited my grandmother's house during the holidays passed my nose..
No, what are you making so much for lunch? I guess my hands are big.
“If you eat well, won't you take good care of the city government? Oh my, you're so dry.”
“My, I'm skinny?”
“yes. It's just bones and skin like this.…….”
I was a little moved(?) by Kureha’s words.!
A few days ago, I was the most oily in the hot spring! Even when I was broadcasting, if I ate with the cam on, viewers would just tell me to go on a diet! How dare you call me skinny?!
Then Kureha was startled and waved her hands..
“Sorry, sorry. Everyone who is younger than me is like my younger brother... … I'm trying to take care of it without you even knowing..”
You were treated like a son(?) by Damian, but you are treated like a younger brother by this friend..
As someone who had no brothers or sisters on Earth, I didn't feel too bad..
After waving my hand and saying it was okay, I looked back at Lucas and nodded..
“Then, shall we go and get some lunch??”
Lucas nodded vigorously… … Aren't you just hungry??
***
Kuilan stretched out to rest and it was no use making noise, so we moved to the shared kitchen right next to the dorm..
“omg?!”
“His Royal Highness?!”
Other soldiers passing by were startled when they saw me, but waved their hands calmly. You guys eat and work too.
“eat a lot. This is our tribe's traditional dish..”
Kureha constantly brought me food. It was quite an exotic nomad-style dish. Mongolian style on Earth?
Anyone who looks at it may think it's a feast, but surprisingly, it is said that this is how he usually feeds his younger brother..
“Isn't my brother a little small and thin? I fed it with care..”
“Small and thin... … ? Kuilan……?”
I thought it was nonsense, but I just ignored it. Everyone here on the front line has a screw loose at some point. haha.
Lucas ate well. He said he practiced yesterday, so he must have been quite hungry..
As we were eating and talking about various things, an incident that happened yesterday during the free exploration came up..
“I see, that happens…….”
Kureha, who heard what happened with the Wolf King Lunared, nodded with a stern expression..
The story is that the werewolf monster may be the ancestor of the Kuilan and Kureha brothers..
I was thinking of hiding it, but Kureha and this friend were no different from the parties involved, so I just did it..
“Kuilando... … I got it..”
Somehow Kureha already knew this..
“I guess you knew?”
“……yes.”
Kureha smiled bitterly and looked down at her right arm..
“That blood is a curse passed down to our clan..”
“curse……?”
“I was hiding it from my younger brother. I don't know when and how to let you know. But this is how I found out.”
Kureha, who stopped serving the meal and sat across from us at the table, began to speak..
“majesty. Do you know how these races are living after their countries collapsed??”
I hesitantly put down the dishes..
100Years ago, there was a war between different races and humans, and the humans won..
And this race became slaves of humans. That's all I know.
4vs. different races. Dwarf. Elf. Mermaid. And Werebeast).
Kureha explained what happened to each of them..
“The dwarves chose to blend into human society. Because their skills were extremely useful. Thanks to active exchange and sharing of technology, the dwarves are still treated well even after the country was destroyed..”
Why is it that as soon as Kelly Bay entered the blacksmith shop, the blacksmiths were in confusion? Was there a reason for this?.
“The fairies still maintain a nation, but they are withering away in their boroughs..”
The faces of the shadow troops conscripted from the Elven Autonomous Region and used as expendable soldiers came to mind..
I guess they too are going through a hard time..
“Mermaids... … I ran away. Over the eastern sea. Find a new home where they can live.”
Mermaids, who can live in the sea rather than on land, gave up on this continent and left..
All that's left are the mixed-blood descendants between them and humans..
Serenade's blue hair mixed with mermaid's blood flashed through my mind. I miss you a little.
“Lastly, we prisoners originally lived divided into tribes. Although they are tied together as one species, the beastmen, each tribe has different gods and inherited blood..”
It was like that in games too. There were lions, bears, tigers, all very diverse..
At the time, I thought that some of the game developers had suspicious tastes in furry, but that wasn't the case. This is what this world was originally like..
“After losing the war, some tribes were completely suppressed or destroyed. However, our Danpungrang (丹楓狼) tribe did not suffer much damage in the war and were able to maintain their strength..”
Kureha continued calmly..
“Since our tribe's hometown was at the edge of the border, other human nations did not bother to invade us. That's how our tribe was able to live in peace in our own way..”
“But how did this happen... … I became a bandit and wandered around.?”
It may be a painful question, but I asked it because I felt it had to be asked. Then the bitter smile on Kureha's lips grew deeper..
“Over the past 100 years, the Everblack Empire has continuously expanded its territory. And finally the border reached our tribe's land..”
I swallowed dry saliva..
This damn empire! This damn emperor father! It's like the root of all evil.!
“Then, as expected, our country destroyed your tribe.?”
“…… My brother, and the survivors of our tribe, know that. So everyone hated the empire. Living as a bandit, he tenaciously fought against the imperial army..”
Kureha raised her head and looked at me..
“but no.”
“then?”
“I destroyed it.”
……?
huh?
I blinked in confusion at the sudden confession. what?
Kureha looked down at her right hand and thought slowly once more..
“I am the one who destroyed my tribe..”
“…….”
“I will tell you everything honestly. That way, no matter what our blood background is, I think people will trust my younger brother..”
Kureha, who was remembering to tell me a story, smiled at me..
“majesty. If you have to kill someone to save someone…….”
I suddenly got goosebumps.
“Your Majesty... … How many people can you kill??”
His face suddenly.
Because it looked similar to that of a werewolf..
