Chapter 259
My Villains Episode 259
51. truth, separation(1)
The unique long sword, ‘Hrunting’, is the blood knight’s exclusive weapon..
‘That's why there are options such as 'unique effect activated when using a bloody blade' or 'increased probability of bleeding when hit'..
Aside from the options above, there was one very unique thing about this knife. That was the option in the vague tooltip that said ‘Drink blood to become stronger’..
To explain, it is an option that says ‘Attack power increases by 0.1% each time a new type of enemy is killed’… … . From what I remember, if you build up enough attack power stacks with this option, the maroon blade will turn white..
By the time the real-life Hrunting reached Longville, its color had changed as if it were shedding its skin, and its sword body had become milky-colored..
So, it means that the changes up to that point were already expected..
“But what is this?……
After yesterday's mess, I finally woke up after resting for 12 hours. And as I looked at Hrunting (what was), I was devastated and sighed deeply..
Where had the famous sword, with its fascinating appearance, iron wall-like strength, and ferocious sharpness gone, and was there only an ostrich egg covered in white scales?.
……X8, I hoped it was a dream. There's no way.
No matter how many times I searched through my memories of playing the game, there was no event like this..
Yeah, of course not..
Where can you find an event like this? The long sword that was in good condition, and the equipment I used as my main weapon, suddenly turned into an egg. What kind of lightning is this?!
The temperament is 'Give me back my Hrunting!' I wanted to shout and break the egg, but I decided to hold back. It's because there was some doubt..
I was sitting down with my colleagues at a table on the first floor of the guild hall to eat, and Hayla, who had finished eating early, was carefully stroking the outside of the egg I had brought down..
“ O”T5".
The blinking rate is slower than usual. He looks like he's in a daze or possessed by something..
As I was eating four bowls of pork stew made with sheep's milk, fava beans, eggs, and nutmeg, I glanced in Hayla's direction and asked a question..
“Why are you looking so hard??”
Instead of answering, she placed her open palm on the egg. And he half-closed his eyes as if concentrating on something. I can vaguely sense this magic power, so it seems like my blood is turning..
That too for a while. A vibration, or rather an echo too faint to be called that, flowed from the egg..
Ellen, who was sitting next to me, seemed to feel that too. The guy gnawed on the candied grapes and narrowed his eyes..
“Can’t you see other people eating? what are you doing?”
“Magic Detection.”
““Are you asking because you don’t know that?” Ellen took a sip of watered wine and closed her eyes tightly. Then he poured a little more warm water into the wine bottle and opened his mouth..
“And, that is something that was created when Hrunting was transformed. Since the Hrunting was not an ordinary magic tool, it would naturally feel magical power..”
Instead of reacting to those words, Hayla looked back at me..
“This is not an egg.”
“ huh?”
“This is not an egg.”
“……Oh, I guess so? Because there is no way that a piece of iron was made by swelling and distorting..”
Although they keep calling it an 'al', that thing is definitely a Hrunting. Although it is in the form of an egg, it was a foolish idea to expect that life would be born there..
As I shrugged my shoulders with that thought in mind, Hayla continued speaking in a calm tone..
“But I feel life.”
“what?”
“This is alive.”
The table fell silent at that sudden declaration. A bundle sitting on one side with a spoon in his mouth said, 'Eh?' While rolling her eyes, Ellen licked her lips and held out her hand to Hayla, who was sitting across from her..
“Give it to me.”
“I can't hear you?”
Ellen, who had already looked at the egg several times right after waking up during lunch, looked in disbelief..
Instead of obediently handing over the egg, Hayla gently handled it and looked at Ellen..
His eyes are as emotionless as usual, but he asks 'What are you?' I feel like I can hear a voice saying: Just as Ellen was belatedly frowning at that staring gaze, Hayla slowly opened her mouth..
“Even if you look, you won't know. Because I feel like I need the power of blood relatives..”
“••••••consanguinity?”
“huh. Poi, wait a minute..”
Hayla took my hand and placed it on Hrunting (what was) as if showing off. Next, she pulled out the dagger 'Yuhyeol' from her waist and made a shallow cut on the tip of her finger. The Seomseom corn with drops of blood was placed on the back of my hand..
“uh,”
As I was about to pull my hand away in embarrassment, Hayla grabbed the back of my hand and whispered softly..
“don't resist.”
“•…”Umm.”
For some reason, a part of my heart felt tickled, so I turned my head and made eye contact with blue eyes..
As I avoided those pitiful eyes, my gaze landed on Munchi, who had an incomprehensible expression on his face. The guy who made eye contact with me smiled and said ‘hehehe’, wondering what was so good about it..
Meanwhile, Heila's possessed blood flowed down my fingers and seeped into eggs around the palm of my hand..
■Tsutsu ■tsu.
The blood from Hayla's palm penetrated my hand and the scaly eggshell and pulled me in..
Heyla's powerful magical power gave me a higher level of senses..
It feels as clear as if you are tracing it with your hand. The blood droplets seeping into the shell slowly seep toward the center of the egg, the complex yet orderly structure of blood vessels reminiscent of the veins of plant leaves, and,
Exciting.
Park Dong-do.
Even when Hrunting was in the shape of a long sword, it would wriggle as if it were alive. At the time, I thought it was just a copy of life..
But now, as I was looking at Hrunting, which looked like an egg but not an egg, I was certain. This was not a copy of life, but a complete life form..
“ruler." Hayla held out a dagger to me. As I look down at the translucent blade, the explanation continues..
“I will like you more.”
“ me?”
WO ” ugh •
I hesitated for a moment before taking the dagger and bleeding on my fingertips. Three or four drops of blood fell and soaked into the egg..
No, it wasn't seeping in..
Hrunting was drawing my blood just as it did right before it turned into its current form. Three or four drops of blood were sucked toward the center of the egg and disappeared without a trace..
“crazy.”
A faint doubt in my heart raises its head..
Immediately after defeating the artist in the Dream Domain, I was reunited with the ‘Blood Drinking Snake’..
At that time, there was something the grandmother left behind in passing..
-That kid has grown up too. good night. Please allow hatching..
If I remember correctly, it was Hrunting whose huge vertical pupils were looking down when he said those words.…….
“So, this is hatching?”
“ maybe.”
Heila nodded in response to the self-talking question and took the egg back and placed it on her lap. And as if nothing had happened, he called the maid Rowan and prepared the tea..
I looked at the egg blankly for a moment and then looked up at Heyla..
“……You want to keep that?”
“huh.”
She nodded with a calm face. Then, as if he had read my expression of concern, he placed his hand on Hrunting (what was) and blinked rapidly a couple of times. At first glance, the black eyes seem to be shaking..
“It may be an illusion, but I can feel the blood of our blood relatives..”
“……It's not blood relatives, it's my blood. How much blood has been fed to that knife?.”
“anyway. It is better for me, who has a keener sense of blood, to take care of it than you. It seems like he likes you, but it doesn't mean he's rejecting me, and he needs my help anyway to keep track of his status..”
Heyla spoke at an unusually fast pace and blinked slowly..
“……Why not??”
“Uh, no, whatever. There's nothing that can't be done. If you'd like to take care of it, I'd be grateful..”
Hayla's stiff shoulders relaxed. I don't know why she was so affectionate with that egg, but I had something else to worry about..
“Do you know what will come out of there? What if some kind of monster comes out??”
“monster?”
“How many monsters do you think are dead in Hrunting? Who are you? There's no way a cute chick like that could come out with a knife like that..”
Ute Kwai, who was emptying his glass of beer on one side, put his glass down at my concerned words..
“Well, that's right..”
He was rubbing his broad chin and hrunting.
（I looked at what was).
“Hrunting, it’s a good knife. From that egg comes a sword that surpasses Hrunting..”
“What kind of bullshit is that? Why does a knife come out of an egg??”
“The sword became known. A knife comes out of that egg. of course.”
……Oh, I see.?
As I blinked at Utequai's confident argument, Hayla put down her silver teaspoon and refuted his argument..
“I told you I felt life.”
“hmm. Then it is a living sword..”
“There's no such thing as a living knife, Mr. Hatanka..”
“There is a living window in the stories told in the prairie. So there is also a living sword..”
Hayla sat still and blinked, then picked up the teaspoon..
“You'll find out someday.”
“hmm. I’m looking forward to a big, cool knife..”
Heila left the giggling Utequwai behind and picked up a small jar of honey from Rowen's tray. Then, he opened the silk-wrapped stopper of the bundle of cloth, took one, two, or three spoonfuls of honey and poured it into the tea..
……At that level, I should call it chakkul instead of honey tea..
While Heila was mixing the tea with an uncharacteristically rattling sound, Moonggi, who had already swiped the honey pot, looked at her for a moment and poured honey into the teacup..
Then, around the time of the fourth spoon, he made eye contact with me and said, 'Eh,' and stopped his hand..
When I smiled and gestured, he smiled brightly and put honey in my teacup..
For someone who is sensitive to smells, Hayla removed the cinnamon and cloves from a bunch of tea. Because of that, his tea was actually sweet honey water..
Some people may point fingers and say they don't even know the taste of tea, but if it tastes good, isn't it a good thing? Seeing the sight of a bunch of people lounging on the backrest saying ‘ahhh’ while enjoying a cup of sweet tea, all I can do is laugh..
Although my beloved sword, Hrunting, had turned into a scale-covered ostrich egg, there was at least some consolation. This is the equipment I got yesterday..
In fact, the equipment taken from Renka alone is amazing..
Although it may not be as good as Hrunting, a weapon exclusive to Blood Knights, 'Black Ice' and 'Morning Star' were also useful enough swords..
No, it's not worth using. Since this is definitely a unique grade long sword, it has good options..
I don't know what it would be like in reality, but black ice in the game, as its name suggests, is a weapon with defense-related corrections in addition to additional cold damage. The Morning Star is a sword imbued with divine power, so it is good when dealing with undead or demons..
Since I have two unique grade longswords, I thought I should hand them out to Freckled Mira or One-Eyed Simos.…….
I decided to throw it away and just use both. I made this decision because I felt like I was the only swordsman who could properly utilize the unique long sword. It's definitely not that I was greedy. really.
And, I also got the plate armor I had longed for. Real plate armor that has been properly heat treated and enchanted. Even though Lenka was a woman, she was similar in size to me. So I tried on her plate armor and it was roughly the right size..
Well, the chest is a little wide and the thighs and shoulders are tight, but if you ask a skilled blacksmith, he will be able to quickly adjust it..
Ellen checked and found that the magic circle with effects such as strengthening, magic resistance, and lightening was working without any problems. Since it was a magic circle that focused on endurance, the effect was not dramatic, but it was still much better than nothing..
It's a pity that there is no helmet with a vision expansion spell... … . Well, it's much easier to find a usable helmet, so I guess I'll be satisfied with this..
There was more loot.
All the demons and monsters that came from the salt world turned to ashes and disappeared, but they left behind one useful item. It was the chain whip used by ‘Lasaldeha’, the demon of flame..
It is a weapon that appears as rare grade equipment in the game... … . Actually, I don't really remember the options. I think the name was Hellfire or a whip..
This was decided to be written by Ute Kwai..
Well, I don't know if I can use it properly, but I'm going to train alone. He is a great warrior of the plains and is skilled in all weapons, so he will be able to use them well..
Lastly, there is equipment obtained by fending off attacks by martial artist Iljin and non-warrior hunter Ashur.…….
This one is a bit troublesome..
There's a prisoner.
