Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 488

[488[Tuesday] God knows

The sparring fight with the wolf beast went much more gently than expected..

It may have played a part in the fact that both of us were barely injured, as we were fighting and making noises that should not have been made when a human body hits armor, but at some point, the outlaws, who began to view our fight as if they were watching an arena, raised the stakes. The biggest reason was that I started responding by calling..

It's not a very large space, but there are people standing around in a circle cheering and swearing repeatedly, people walking around collecting stakes, etc. The cautious attitude he showed before has disappeared and he is only giving off the typical enthusiasm of gamblers..

"No no!"

"Hey dude! wake up! It cost me a week's worth of drinks.!"

Thanks to this, even though I was the cause of this fight, the outlaws were pouring a variety of swear words at the unconscious wolf beastman who was lying on the floor. Even the people who say that are smiling, so it seems like they are just having fun..

The wolf beastman was not weak. Rather, he was strong enough to take pride in his skills..

The problem was that, as a fighter, he only learned techniques to destroy his opponent..

I am not familiar with how to subdue someone with less injury without any malicious intent or hostility. Even after realizing that I was strong, I was busy raising and retracting my claws frequently, so there was no way I could win unless there was an overwhelming difference in skill..

Since they don't know how to use such attacks, they don't even know that such attacks exist, and they don't know how to naturally defend themselves. Even now, your brain must be shaken so well that your eyes are spinning..

"Damn, I know all kinds of weird tricks.."

As a result, after collapsing, I thought, 'What the hell is this?' The guy who muttered, “I gave him a lot of time, but he still couldn’t wake up.”.

"Yeah, I admit it. It doesn't really matter whether the customer takes away the weapon or not.."

In the end, it was only when the wolf beast raised both hands and expressed his intention to surrender that the scene of crazy gambling came to an end with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow..

Of course, he had no intention of overlooking his attempt to make money without me, so he asked for a reasonable share of the business and took the money. The wolf beastman, who was lying down and watching me, slowly stood up and spoke to me, as if his dizziness had subsided..

"You are skilled and resourceful. It would have been less troublesome if I had just handed over the weapon and kept quiet... Why did you bother to reveal it??"

"It's less suspicious if you reveal it in advance.."

When I offered him a hand to help him get up comfortably, he smiled brightly and grabbed my hand to help himself up..

"My name is Kal Kansi. Wandering around."

"Ethan Ravischer. wander."

"Too bad. If we had met a little earlier, Kwansala would have brought a chest of gold coins to hire a customer.."

"me?"

As I followed Karl Kansi, who gestured with his hand to guide me, the guy relaxed his shoulders and nodded..

"It's just a story I heard since I went out and came back, but they say there were some signs before the devil's army split my head. Since I was a guy who could sense threats to my life like a ghost, I hired talented guys for a premium.?"

It was all in vain in the end.

Carl Kansi sighed as he finished speaking, and a strangely regretful attitude lingered in his mind..

"Were you friends??"

"Rather than that... he was a good business colleague. Even though he was an absolute asshole, he knew how to boldly spend money when he needed it, and I was skilled enough to get that money.."

aha. What was disappointing was that one..

As I walked with him and listened to his story, it seemed that the leader who succeeded this guy named Kwansala did not appreciate the spending on Kal Khansi. Rumors began to spread that he was carrying a sharp knife that was unsuitable for its purpose, even though he was hiding anyway.?

Of course, it was absurd for such a rumor to spread in a situation where the head of the organization was lost through violent means, but it is said that the next leader hit the nail on the head by even trying to negotiate the price of Karl Kansi..

"After that, it's obvious. Going to the Demon Territory is my last task here.."

"It must be a shame to lose your income. Are you from a demon territory??"

"It's not really like that, but I think it's a bit more comfortable in the demon spirit than in the human city. Most humans are afraid of us.?"

It was just as Carl Kansi said. If there were people like rabbit beastmen or sparrow beastmen, I might not have been so scared, but beastmen had the appearance of predators like wolves, lions, leopards, and bears..

He even has overwhelming physical ability to match that, so I said it all..

"But what does a customer do in the Demon Territory with such skills? He killed people he shouldn't have killed?"

"no. There's a guy there to kill, so I'm going to kill him.."

"ha ha ha! Not only was he talented, but he was also a fun customer.!"

It wasn't really a joke, but there was no need to blush, so we laughed together and a better atmosphere was created..

After meeting the captain, things went rather normally. At first, the captain thought I was strange when I came in with a weapon, but when Carl Kansi appealed that I was stronger than him, he smiled brightly and welcomed me with both arms..

"The prisoner I met was a bit vague in the common language, but he was fluent, if not more fluent.."

Despite his intimidating appearance, Karl Kansi's very witty explanations also played a big role in allaying our guard, so when I asked him a question after meeting with the captain, he twirled his long tongue around and smiled before answering..

"I worked hard. Among the beasts, there are only a handful who can speak like me.?"

3If you make eye contact for more than a second, he looks like he's going to throw his fist at you, so he's a really intelligent friend..

Thanks to this, I no longer had to keep my mouth shut and hold my ground among the outlaws, so I was able to spend time chatting with Carl Kansi until the departure time that the captain had mentioned..

"what? Krull? Krul Pitali Bazaar?"

Among them, the topic that received the most response was ‘The Prisoner I Met’, which I thought would only be briefly mentioned..

Even though their appearances are very different, the bond between beasts and humans never goes away. When I brought up the story to Karl Kansi, who showed great interest, he responded passionately..

"Is it someone you know??"

"I know. He was famous even before he returned with the prisoners taken by slave traders. He's a pretty radical guy, so he probably doesn't want to talk to humans, but he's got good skills.?"

"It just so happened that."

There were too many kangaroos to show me the token I received under my original name, so I had no choice but to cover it up, but it didn't change Carl Kansi's favor. Thanks to this, I was able to get the question I wanted to ask out a little more quickly..

"Now that I think about it, the captain seems to welcome the arrival of a talented person. Isn't this a safe illegal entry??"

"Ah, it's a little different. It's usually safe, but sometimes something called a variable comes up, right? In that case, I like it when there is a good friend on the boat because it serves as a safety device.."

"They even take money and tell customers to fight.?"

"Of course, give me money too. Since it is an urgent situation, I will take care of it generously. Sometimes I earn more than the ferry fare and go out.."

It wasn't something I really wanted to talk about because I wasn't short on money, but it wasn't like I had any other options, so I nodded appropriately..

It wasn't just me who had asked about it in the first place, and it was definitely a restaurant recommended by the Empire, so it's pointless to be suspicious. Instead of continuing my useless worries, I decided to extract the necessary information from Karl Kansi..

When Carl Kansi, who was in a position no different from that of a late-stage sergeant who was about to be discharged from the military, left his seat to talk to me, others sat there and began greeting visitors. And people like me who came to smuggle people into the country left their weapons as they requested, went through the process of going to meet the captain, and then came across to the quasi-bar where we were sitting and spent the rest of the time..

When people showed violent reactions and refused to put down their weapons, those who had not forgotten the gambling scene from before pricked up their ears and paid attention. Since it mostly ended in futile resistance, the scene of people clicking their tongues and drinking again was repeated..

Meanwhile, Karl Kansi's story continued, so it was never boring. As the sun set and the sea and sky at the end of the cave turned red, everyone except the customers sitting in the tavern began to busily prepare for departure..

"Are we leaving now??"

"that's right. In winter, if you move when the sun has completely set beyond the horizon, you can cross the danger zone at a reasonable time.."

Some of the outlaws who were moving like that yelled at Cal Kansi and begged him to help, but he just laughed and gave them the middle finger..

"Those who are going to the Demon Territory, please get on board! If you're late, they'll leave you behind, so hurry up!"

The captain, who came out of the lodgings located in one corner of the cave, walked with great strides and shouted, and the people began to shake their butts and stand up one by one. They walked silently behind the captain as if they had no interest in each other, and the captain glanced around at the passengers, prayed with an unknown movement before boarding the ship, and then shouted at the top of his voice..

"May the gods bless you on this voyage too.!"

It was quite funny to see God looking for God while committing a crime, but since I was in the position of participating in the crime, I couldn't help but feel like I was just having fun..
