Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 493

[493Tue] The Stowaways Guide to the Demon's territory

Carl Kansi was one of those people who had few regrets when he reflected on his life..

He lived faithfully to his own desires. He worked hard to become strong, studied to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, wandered the world to see more, and did not forget to pursue worldly pleasures whenever he could..

Thanks to this, I was part of an axis where I never ran out of things to talk about, and I felt a sense of pride in that fact... but recently, that pride has started to show some cracks..

"Those are common thieves.."

"Fucking common? That's it?"

The cause was a recent guest with a foul mouth..

Although he gets cursed a lot, he's not a low-quality adventurer or a mercenary. Rather, it is closer to a strange formality that appears when nothing is going on or in all other actions..

It's not like I have a personal breakdown. Even though he spends a lot of money because he is in a hurry to get on his way, he stops walking when he sees another merchant he meets by chance being attacked by thieves. If we contrast this with the fact that double greed always comes out every time that happens, it can be seen as closer to indignation at a morally flawed situation..

The problem is that the customer is strangely destined to attract accidents, but because he faces such situations every day, he is constantly overcome with anger..

"Is it common to use monsters to steal the top? really?"

"Uh... it's a method favored by professional thieves in the Demon Territory...."

"It's such a fucking bountiful harvest.."

It can be said that there is no room for excuses since the path was clearly set by Karl Khansi, but Karl Khansi was wronged during the Karl Khan era..

He lived as a professional guide, so much so that he was called a 'pioneer' before he decided to stay for a long time in Kwansala, satisfied with the deep pockets it gave him..

'Although there are some vicious racists who try to play with words by putting special emphasis on the word ‘dog’, such a title is not given to just anyone. It was an honor given because it guided guests safely to their destinations under any circumstances, while also being able to fit their desired schedule as much as possible..

I was confident because he was like that. No matter how fast the route was chosen as requested by the customer, the rate of involvement in incidents is too high. Even the things that are connected like that are all big..

At first, I thought the demon spirit would just be that confusing....

"This dog ...!!"

...As I looked at the customer, who suddenly drew the attention of the thieves and monsters who attacked the vendor by screaming and then quickly pulled out his weapon, it seemed clear that the cause was something completely different..

"It doesn't matter if you shout out of the dog.."

Carl Kansi burst into laughter as he looked at the back of the customer's head, cursing and yet showing subtle consideration..

After traveling together for a week, Kal Kansi had already realized that there was no need to run after the guests or panic, so he rode his horse slowly even as he watched dozens of thieves and dozens of goblins rushing towards the guests..

As I explained to the guest, there are people all over the demon territory who deliberately train goblins and orcs and use them for theft. Of course, they are strong enough to do that, so dealing with thieves in the Demon Territory is bound to take a lot of risk..

When they come across people who work as mercenaries during the peak season and turn to bandits only during the off-season, many merchants say that they would lose less if they gave up a carriage for the toll. Blinded by a sense of justice, rushing at people who don't even care about this side is nothing short of crazy..

"what?! What is that guy??!"

"Fuck you! Where is the human bastard?!"

Perhaps it was because of this widespread perception, but even the thieves who were skillfully attacking peddlers seemed quite taken aback by the sudden appearance of a customer. However, as soon as he realized that the customer running towards him with his black hair and cape flying was a human, he cursed, whipped the goblin, and got into a fighting stance..

It's not like they know how to see Aurors. However, I do know that an Auror user will jump in when it's time to ride a horse. It is clear that in the eyes of the thieves, the customer is just a crazy person with a sense of justice..

First of all, that judgment wasn't entirely wrong. In fact, the customer did not use his auror when he had eyes to see after coming over to the demon spirit..

He was merciless when dealing with monsters, but if there was a situation where there would be even one survivor, he would fight with only his body. I told him to pretend like he couldn't use the Auror, but I couldn't have imagined that he would follow along so faithfully, so I was even grateful on the inside..

The peddlers are still alive and well, so the customers will fight without the Aurors. So it is true that aurors do not intervene in the fight..

"Damn you bastards!"

The problem is that even without that, that human customer is extremely strong..

The demon who trampled the goblin and swung his spear to avoid the oncoming horse's charge and throw the guest away was clearly not something he had done once or twice. If it had gone in properly, it would have hit the ribs from the trapezius muscle exactly diagonally and knocked them out..

However, by boldly leaning his upper body back, the guest not only avoided the spear being swung diagonally, but also swung his sword from bottom to top in that posture, blowing off the head of the demon holding the spear. The spear split the air, and before it could even split it, it was caught by the guest's right hand..

"Are you hanging out with monsters and attacking people because you have nothing else to do? Epaga is going to shed tears of blood, you damn things.!"

As the upper body returns to its original position as if bouncing, the spinning spear instantly escapes from the customer's grasp and flies towards the thief. One of the thieves, who couldn't even react because his mouth was wide open at the sight of the attack and defense being performed with ridiculous tricks, was struck by a spear and died like that..

There is no aura in all of those movements. It's only physical ability..

"emergency! fuck rain...!"

"You guys' heads are flying high.!"

I knew he had extraordinary skills, but I didn't know that even the basics were solid, so every time I saw him, it was a battle with a new customer. Constantly teasing the snout also played a part in that..

Just by looking at what he says, his eyes seem to be rolling in anger, but his swordsmanship and actions are actually sharp..

As soon as they sense that they are about to be surrounded, they jump off their horses, attack the enemy, pierce the siege net, and while killing the enemy, take something, whether it's a dagger they were carrying or a weapon they were using, and use it to keep the next enemy in check. It's such a natural, flowing movement that you wonder where on earth he figured it all out..

With that alone, half of the fourteen thieves died. The goblins, who had been trained like animals, had only been paying attention after Cernut died in a collision with a horse, but as soon as the bandits were killed one-sidedly, they ran away without looking back for a long time..

If all humans had been able to fight that much without Aurors, wouldn't the war have ended much more one-sided?.

"This bastard!"

As his comrades die in an instant, a demon with his eyes turned twists his body and rushes at him. Due to his bulging blood vessels and unusually fast speed, it was not difficult to infer that he was temporarily strengthening his body through magical power, but Karl Kansi was still relaxed..

When the thieves I encountered yesterday did something like that, I was quite embarrassed and worried about the safety of my customers, but not today..

"Wow! Wow! Arrrr!"

...I was a little embarrassed. in a different sense.

But regardless, the customer quickly closes the distance and breaks the thief's attack by taking two steps forward, stabbing the thief straight into the heart..

"Bent!"

With no time to spare, the thief's flimsy leather breastplate could not withstand the sharp stab and was pierced along with its owner. It was a distance measurement that was truly a work of art, but the customer, who pushed the thief aside and snatched his sword as he let out his last words with his eyes wide open, was nothing but annoyed..

"Even if you don't know the basics and move quickly, you'll end up there.."

And as if it was no big deal, he threw the thief's sword like a javelin and cut off the thief's lifeline as he ran away with his back turned. At this point, the thieves also began to understand the differences in technology and experience beyond the simple differences in species, and lost their will to fight..

"Buy, save..."

"Isn’t it polite to put down your weapon first and pray??"

As soon as the customer tilted his head crookedly and fired, the weapons in the hands of the five thieves fell to the floor, without anyone deciding who would go first. Then the customer looked at the dropped weapon blankly, then shifted his still tilted gaze back to the thieves and opened his mouth..

"Even if I'm polite, I have no intention of saving my life.?"

This time, not only the thieves but also the peddlers were shocked..

"Oh, you devil!"

The bandits, who were momentarily dumbfounded by one such confident statement, came to their senses and tried to grab their weapons again, but in the meantime, two of them were already dead. The other three were no different as they were so hasty in holding their weapons that they couldn't even maintain proper posture..

"customer. What should I do if we always get involved like this, saying we should hurry on our way??"

"There is nothing I can do because my personality is not rotten enough to ignore something like this. I'll add it up and calculate it for you.."

"That's it. Anyway, it's just around the corner now.."

In the end, it took longer to receive thanks from the peddlers than it did to fight. As he watched the customers leave the vendors and corpses behind without hesitation after receiving only a small reward, Karl Kansi expressed the question he had been feeling for the past few days..

"Customers have no animosity toward demons.?"

It's not just demons. From their first encounter, they showed no hesitation in dealing with other races. Kal Kansi's judgment was that he would have passed the inspection quickly because he could act calmly like the humans who lived in the Demon Territory..

Judging by the accent alone, he is a native Ethisel, so how is that possible?.

"uh."

It was a question I asked after a week of pondering, but the answer I got back was so simple that it was deceptively simple, and I couldn't help but laugh..

Tomorrow we will arrive at Lengi Epagasierra and our employment will end, but every day was new and interesting for this human customer..

Eventually, with curiosity piqued for the first time in a while, Carl Kansi began to wonder if there was any way to maintain this pleasant employment relationship any longer..
