Chapter 191
My Villains Episode 191
44. dreamy(1)
There are twelve maroon doors lined up in the hallway. There are no windows.
There is no way to know whether to go down or up the stairs..
Fifth, no, sixth..
Neatly shaped garden trees, a pond with a transparent bottom, and soft grass..
Even if you crane your neck as far as you can, all you see is a gray fence..
I knock on the triple-barred iron door..
«___________I»
The sound I screamed at the top of my voice is scattered in vain. Now it's time to go back.
It's time to go back.
The heavy iron door opens wide..
uh?" “When are you going to end this damn dream??”
A boy swims in the air.
A sparkling true silver crown, a devil's robe with stars shining in the pitch black, blue eyes and wavy blonde hair..
The beautiful face sighing is full of annoyance.
“No wonder this mentally ill guy got caught. How can you have a nightmare without missing a day??”
Before we knew it, the huge mansion on the outskirts of the city had disappeared, leaving a strange space filled with black light. Meanwhile, I tried to calm my mind..
“Trickster man?”
“I told you not to call me old man..”
“A new life is worth living?”
“……Dejavu, is this? I think I've heard this question before..”
“Because this is my second question, you idiot..”
The grumbling boy opens his mouth again..
“Anyway, I'm glad. I never imagined you would do this.”
“……what did i do for you?”
“You're living. Fiercely.”
I'm slowly getting angry at words that are difficult to read out of context. I took a quick breath..
“What on earth have you done to me??”
“It's just an invitation. just as you wanted.”
“Holy shit- phew. So where am I now? Well, can it be virtual reality??”
“virtual reality?”
The boy's face is distorted..
“What nonsense is that??”
“gibberish? Ha, I fell into the world that I had been exposed to through monitors for 20 years, so what would I think??”
“That world is not virtual or fantasy. Even though I've already lived there for half a year, I'm still confused about that.?”
The boy burst out laughing as if he was dumbfounded and clicked his tongue..
That sight distorts my judgment..
“Is this crazy?.”
“ what?”
“They use a chat as an excuse to send me to a shitty place and sit there laughing at me.?”
The boy tilts his head.
“To you, ‘a shitty place’ is not Earth.?”
“……Don't talk nonsense. And, what? You did what I wanted? Do you want to have your baby torn apart??”
As I approached him, spewing out abusive language, the boy burst into laughter and waved his hand..
« o ugh w —=T,
Something invisible tightened my body. I gritted my teeth and struggled, but I couldn't even move..
“The angry personality is still the same..”
“This, the same dog-”
“……No, has it gotten worse??”
The boy crossed his arms and looked around. The dark glow that covered all directions was gradually dissipating..
“Well, thinking about it again, I understand why I made that mistake. You had no choice but to think backwards..”
“……Before and after, backwards?”
“okay. The world does not resemble the game, but the game resembles the world. Strictly speaking, it resembles the world I experienced..”
At that time, a loud noise sounded from all directions and the space began to warp. The boy sighed deeply..
“I could only say nonsense today too.”
“wait for a sec! What do you mean, the world you've been through?”
A boy floating in the air is held in the arms of darkness..
“It won't mean anything anymore. Even if it's twisted, it's been twisted too much.”
“Trickster, you son of a bitch! crawl-”
Jang, the world fell into pieces..
I barely suppressed my screams and closed my eyes..
It was still dark in the middle of the night, and the campsite was quiet..
Ah, it's that dream again.
I had a dream about a couple of months ago where a trickster appeared..
Last time, he said bullshit like Kim Seung-soo was dead or something, and this time he also left some sad stories..
A game resembling the world of tricksters, and twists…….
While pondering the strange dream, I suddenly looked down at my hands..
“Ahhh ”
“omg,”
Hey, I'm surprised..
My forearm was being held in my right hand. It looks like he grabbed it unconsciously when he woke up..
The owner of the forearm was lying curled up next to me, crying..
A small, youthful face with short eyebrows, black hair flowing from her shoulders, and big eyes without double eyelids looking up at me.…….
“It's a bunch?”
“Well, it hurts.……
I quickly let go of my forearm and whispered to the bundle..
“I was surprised. “Why are you here?” "uh—”
The guy massaged his forearm and avoided eye contact. Then he raised his upper body in an awkward motion..
“Well, it was a little cold..”
“Your seat was next to the bonfire..”
“……Ah, yes. But, it's warm there too, but, uh,”
Moongchi rolled his eyes and spoke gibberish. Then, as my lost fingers played with the ends of my hair, a cow cooed from somewhere.
I heard Lee.
Then the guy opened his eyes and pointed in the direction where the sound came from..
“Hey, Steedman, snored. It's noisy, very loud..”
“ ah.”
I slowly raised my upper body and looked around..
Ellen, wearing a cloak like a chrysalis, was lying on my right, and Hayla and Simos were sleeping a little away..
A little distance away to the left, Utequai was sitting on a piece of wood, drawing a picture. Steedman was snoring loudly near the fire at his feet..
“That guy has some bad sleeping habits. I snore a lot and grind my teeth sometimes..”
“yes yes. that's right. It's very nasty. I can't even sleep.”
It was so cute to see him nodding so hard that his hair was flowing, so I smiled and stroked his head..
“Hey, it's good..”
“••••••yes?”
The guy who was shrugging his shoulders and enjoying my touch looked puzzled..
“I also thought you came to hug me because it reminded you of old times..”
“Ah, yes?”
“Don't you remember? When you were a wild boar, you always slept next to me. “It was really cute when you were dreaming.” “… … I, um, I remember, ugh.,”
“So, it was awkward for a while when you became human. It's strange to sleep alone
I couldn't get used to it.”
“Uh— ah,”
The guy with red cheeks just swiveled his gaze and twitched his lips..
Although the Milanese language has come a long way in recent years, there are times when you are left speechless..
“Uh, low price-”
“It's okay, so speak slowly.”
In times like this, it is considerate to wait patiently, so I sat quietly and stared into his eyes..
Munchi opened his mouth with an embarrassed and despondent face..
“I don't have any hair anymore, I'm not a pig, I'm not fluffy..”
“Um, yeah?”
I slowly stretched out my arm and pulled him towards me. Then, Mungchi stiffened his body with both hands clasped in front of his nose..
I shrugged my shoulders after feeling the touch on my side..
“Is it still similar now? It seems warmer too.”
“......Uh OO ”
Not only his face, but also his ears, nape of his neck, and even the backs of his hands were all red and he stood up.,
“Je, Je Seong Oh.”
And then he ran away..
Aww, so cute. Since I can see your tongue twisting, I think I need to practice my pronunciation more..
I smiled happily and stood up. When I woke up, I decided to take a look around the campsite..
But then.
Tuk.
«......<?»
Something fell from my knee to the floor..
It was a pair of shiny, jet-black gloves that I couldn't tell if they were leather or velvet..
I swallowed dryly and picked up the gloves. Soft yet tough material with faintly engraved scale patterns.
It was 'Death King's Scale Handcuffs', one of the Death King sets..
“…… Ha, I’m going crazy.” A month has already passed since I left Longville. In the meantime, the party crossed the pass of Mt. Graduil and entered the central part of the kingdom..
What followed was a rather arduous journey. It was due to the political characteristics of the central region..
In general, a baron was a traitor to the king, that is, a vassal of a vassal. A baron is a low-ranking lord who is a direct subordinate of the king and follows the earl, the great lord..
At first glance, it appears that whether the earl is a direct vassal or the baron is a traitor, they are all subjects of the king, but the atmosphere is slightly different. The traitorous baron has no legal obligation to listen to the king's orders..
For this reason, the actual object of loyalty of the barons was usually the earls, not the king. So, if you look at a region, it was common for a great nobleman of earl rank or higher to rule under several barons..
But the central part of the Kingdom of Milan was a little different from such common cases. There is no count at all..
The vast land centered around the royal capital is entirely under the direct control of the king, and it is surrounded by the fiefdoms of sixteen barons called ‘the king’s bannermen.’ Of course, these sixteen barons are all direct vassals of the King..
In short, it was as if the king had the entire central region, the most fertile land in the kingdom, to himself..
Maybe that's why all the baronies I passed by recently, that is, the territories of the 'King's Horsemen', had a somewhat unique atmosphere. It felt like a military base or fortress rather than a typical territory..
But damn it, it doesn't matter if it's just the atmosphere, but it's causing real damage. There were so many forts and watchtowers on every road, and the inspections were so strict that I had to waste a lot of time..
Even when the sun went down, the gates were closed or the bridge piers were blocked, so if you couldn't get the timing right, you had to camp without moving. In severe cases, I had to go back a long way..
For this reason, we were only able to escape the territory of the ‘King’s Riders’ after traveling for a full month..
“It will arrive in about five days..”
Cole, who had little sleep in the morning, woke up early and soaked biscuits made from wheat flour and oats in water..
“‘According to the guy from 'Eastern Riding', security is pretty bad around here. It will be completely different from last month..”
“okay?”
I lit a bonfire and smiled..
“It doesn't seem that bad. I think it would be better to meet a highwayman than to stand in line to be checked..”
Cole silently complained at my words..
There were a total of four bonfires lit at the campsite. Since there were quite a lot of people, naturally there were also a lot of fires..
If we count the number of people in the group…….
There were nine of us, including me, Ellen, Utequai, Munchi, Hayla, Steedman, Mira, Kol, and Simos, as well as ten mercenaries hired from Longville. There were nineteen in total..
Up until 15 days ago, there were only 20 of us, including Muldaebuni, but we happened to meet on a bus heading towards Lavalton, so we had to say goodbye to this guy a little early..
I hope you arrive at the manor safely and perform your duties well. Well, Buni is a native of Lavalton who has lived in Lavalton for nearly 20 years, so adapting will be no problem..
Anyway, the group of 19 people was a fairly suitable size for travel. It's a size where you can comfortably keep watch and get supplies without much difficulty..
Of course, it was a little annoying to be guarded when passing through forts or gates. Even that wasn't a problem as long as we divided the group appropriately..
While I was chatting with Cole about various things, daylight slowly dawned..
And around that time, we received some strange guests..
