Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 135
The thieves had a slow morning..
It was not because they played and drank all night long, conforming to the debauched life of outlaws, as people often think, but because they clearly had sponsors and lacked desperation to make a living..
Excellent information that helps you find a suitable village where you can have some fun and stable looting. And even huge profits. There were times when he had to go on expeditions a little far and kidnap people to meet the conditions of his sponsor, but compared to the comfort he could normally enjoy, he could tolerate that much..
"Haaaam. I can't wake up from this."
"I'm not sleepy because it's cold?"
"Oh Mr. is it?"
The same was true for the bandits who served as guards and guards at the hideout..
As the number of people playing when there was no work increased and they became more and more lazy, it became routine to set up four or five guards. And even though the sun was rising towards the middle of the sky due to the recent heavy drinking, they could not easily escape from their drowsiness and drowsiness. Finally, one of the thieves couldn't stand it any longer and took out a pipe and took a bite. The other thieves wrinkled their noses and said,.
"hey. Open it later. When the captain sees, the game starts.."
"Captain, I drank too much yesterday and fell asleep. I won't be able to get up until after lunch.?"
"really? Then I should spread it too."
"shit. I didn't bring it on purpose. Is there anyone with a cigarette??"
The forest was dense, but their base was a site that had been appropriately remodeled from the remains of a former fortress. It is safe to say that there are no elements that could lead to a forest fire, and the area around the base is extremely clean..
However, their captain, who had bad memories of fires as a child, was extremely wary of and pathologically hated smoking cigarettes while on duty or anywhere else..
"Anyway, not even our captain can stop him. Just looking at it, it looks like it's about to be bathed in a bonfire.."
"Hahaha. Who said not."
"What happened recently? They say they got a revelation from a fortune teller that death will come when five beacons rise, and they never allow more than five bonfires to be lit.."
"No, how can such a ghost-like person believe in superstitions so well? Then, will the cigarettes we smoke now be struck with a beacon and cause death??"
"It's so fucking funny, really."
But that didn't mean they were dissatisfied with their captain. It is never easy to be angry at a person who played a key role in rallying or destroying the bandits in the surrounding area..
Still, when I was sure I would never wake up, I could at least smoke a cigarette anywhere. After chatting so loudly, maybe about ten minutes passed before I came to my senses with the help of a cigarette..
"huh? hey. What's coming?"
Two strangers began to approach from the other side of the entrance where they were standing guard. The tall figures, who appeared to be a man and a woman, walked towards where they were as if it was only natural, and the figure who appeared to be a man was even waving his hands energetically, so the five thieves had no choice but to put their heads together and think about it..
"Was there any talk of someone coming??"
"I didn't hear it."
"The captain is not the kind of person who would forget things like this....?"
He was a man who came this far because he was cautious. Although they were often prone to excessive superstitions, their leader was so strict that he could be considered a member of the army rather than a group of thieves, and he was not the kind of person who would drink too much while forgetting that there was an intruder..
Normally, I would have threatened unidentified outsiders as soon as my thoughts reached that point....
"Hey, look at the cigarette smoke. Can you even catch a raccoon??"
The approaching man... shouted at the top of his voice in a very cheerful and friendly manner. The thieves couldn't even think of going out too hard when the gigantic figure, which looked menacing at first glance, treated them so kindly, so they cautiously asked questions..
"who are you!"
"Who is the hunter? Is there anyone else coming here besides us? That's a different story.?"
In an instant, all five people came to their senses. These are people who regularly send work to me. In all this time, not only had I never walked here, and only two people had come, so I couldn't even think about it..
"Well, it can’t be! Unlike usual, only two people showed up on foot, leaving me wondering who had misunderstood what.!"
"yes? We've had a good relationship for such a long time, but I almost got annoyed for a moment because I thought I was being stabbed in the back! Don't be surprised, friends.!"
Hahaha, he was smiling, but the thieves could clearly feel that the man was feeling uncomfortable at that moment..
"Fuck. I almost got fucked. I don't think that's normal.."
"What should I do? Doesn't someone have to go and wake up the captain??"
"Mr. Ai, if you jump in now, people will think it’s strange for no reason. Let me just explain. Anyway, that side came suddenly too.."
It was clear that it was not a regular trading day, so no matter how much the other side had the upper hand, there would be no reason to even rest comfortably. With that confidence in mind, the thief who was in charge of the leader raised his voice..
"Well, what's going on? I knew it wasn't your time to come yet.."
"That's a conversation I'll have with your boss. There is a captain?"
"Yes, there is... but I drank a little too much...."
"So you're saying he's still sleeping? What do you think? Not even the military. I'm not in a position to say anything about your captain resting comfortably when he's not working.?"
Despite his intimidating size, he was a very communicative person. The thieves sighed in relief at his insignificant response, but as they got closer, they began to feel pressured by the man's growing size..
Therefore, when the two arrived at the fortress, the thieves were completely stunned by the huge man who looked a head and a half taller than them, so they didn't even have time to pay attention to the beautiful woman next to him..
The man, who wore an earring in one ear the same color as the hair of the beautiful woman next to him, glanced around at them and then smiled, showing his teeth..
"But I'm not in a position to wait until your captain wakes up. Where are you??"
"Ah, inside..."
"Just like you guys are seeing me for the first time, it's my first time here too. How do you know where it is inside? Someone please guide me?"
"Well, let me guide you.."
It was a leader position that I normally thought was nothing, but I never thought I would lead by example like that. The bandits looked at their leader with slightly different eyes and looked at the slave hunters who followed him inside..
"What on earth do people eat that makes them so big??"
"Isn't there something else other than eating??"
"Did you see the beautiful woman next to you? She said she wasn't kidding?"
"Crazy guy. If you were the lover of that slave hunter earlier, you might get your eyes pulled out, but I had a chance to see it.?"
The thief, who had been treated like a crazy person who could not be tolerated for bringing up the topic of women alone, became depressed and began to stand guard..
◈
"I can't believe it. It's so easy to come in...?"
"I told you. If you're confident, it'll work surprisingly well.."
I whispered with a smile to Asilier, who was muttering in confusion..
The decision I made as soon as I saw the hideout of the bandits, which seemed to have more than 30 people at a glance, worked perfectly..
Even in the modern military, 'Oh, he's a battalion commander.' It's me, I'm a fool, and the guard post is broken into by being deceived by fraudulent blackmail. What's any different about thieves when such things happen often? There is no need to go through the trouble when you can definitely commit fraud by checking the rough details in a document..
Asili and I looked around calmly, taking note of each and every location and action of the bandits we could see..
"The equipment is pretty good?"
"Well, of course. To complete requests, we always keep our equipment in top condition.."
The bandits who guided me started to appeal to me about their sincerity, thinking I was a complete slave hunter. Those words weren't just empty words, they were clearly on a large scale for a thief and had been caught with unreasonable discipline..
While I was going to the guy called the leader, there were easily over 20 people that caught my eye, but I feel like there are more places in their hideout that looks like a converted ruin that I couldn't see..
"Didn't you say there were twenty of you? Why does it seem like there are more kids??"
"yes? We always have 30 people...."
"okay? I guess I read it wrong. I'm a bit weak with numbers."
"Whew. It can happen. Sometimes, when I buy something in town, I miscount a coin or two.."
Heh heh heh, it's impossible to live in a world where a thief can secretly go to the village and buy things..
The guy, who had no way of knowing what I was thinking, seemed to think that the laughter was a result of a consensus being formed, and he laughed happily along with me. Continuing his exploration under the guise of conversation, he stopped in front of a two-story building that barely maintained its shape enough to be called a tower..
"The large intestine is on top. They don't like us around when they talk about work, so I'll just leave.."
"You must be busy, but thank you. See you later."
As I was smiling and waving at the guy who bowed his head in greeting and returned to stand guard again, Asilier looked at me with a subtle expression and said..
"Seriously, how can you be so sly?."
"Are you sly? It's the resourcefulness of a civilized warrior.."
"Even that is a sly joke."
Asilier shook her head, but since there was nothing more to see after coming so easily, I excitedly climbed the tower and reached the second floor, pulled out my long sword and kicked the only wooden door with all my might..
-bang!
"Huh?! What, what? What?"
"it's me!"
Startled by the sound of the wooden door, which was not in very good condition, being shattered and oxidized by firewood, he jumps up from the bed and looks around with half-asleep eyes. His gaze immediately turned towards me, but he only made a dumbfounded expression as he was not only half asleep but also half-awakened from alcohol..
"what? who are you?"
"death!"
I swung the longsword as hard as I could towards that guy’s neck..
