Chapter 306
My Villains Episode 306
55. Marquis of Eavon(5)
Between the cathedral's cloister and a separate room, a bundle hidden beneath the dark roof of a window suddenly raised its head..
For just a moment, she was startled by the fact that she was half asleep, so she stiffened her body and examined the situation..
The old marquis was talking nonsense in front of Poynix, Hayla, his young wife, and his grandson. It was at that point that the kingdom's famous knights and their nicknames were listed..
The trivial conversation continued as before. No one seems to have noticed her presence..
Mungchi, who was quietly listening, sighed in relief..
“Tsk
After being reassured, Mungchi clicked his tongue and encouraged himself. Dozing off while in hiding is a mistake I could not have imagined when I was living as an assassin in the Swordsmanship Association..
While looking at the knights gathered at a table on one side of the separate room, Mungchi thought about why he had made such a shameful mistake as if he were defending himself..
The answer came to mind easily. The reason was the training time, which has more than doubled in recent years..
After the battle with the undead army fifteen and three days ago, Phoenix began teaching her swordsmanship. We'd exchanged swords occasionally before, but this time it was much more serious..
Of course, Mungchi is not ignorant of swordsmanship. In some areas, for example, using a quick sword for a sneak attack, he is closer to a master..
However, what Poinix has been teaching Munchi recently was the so-called Gyukgeomjutsu (擊劍術), which involves subduing an enemy by clashing swords together. This was a bit unfamiliar to the assassin, Mungchi, and thanks to that, she was training like a beginner..
Actually, I was a little skeptical about the swords coming together at first..
As she was neither a general nor a knight, there was no reason to cross swords with the enemy. The familiar method is to widen the distance, throw a dagger or shoot a crossbow, hide, and then make a surprise attack..
Not only did he not understand the purpose, but he did not voice his dissatisfaction despite the hard training in martial arts. No, to be exact, I never had any complaints..
It was because of phoenix..
He touched his wooden sword, corrected his posture, moved his feet himself, and treated her with a serious expression that was rarely seen on a regular basis. During the two or three hours of teaching swordsmanship, Poinix focused all of his attention on Mungchi..
The fact that the man she had in mind was completely focused on herself filled her with happiness, no matter what that time was filled with..
In fact, the content that filled that time was also something that Mungchi loved very much. Phoenics places great emphasis on close combat and wrestling, and whenever they spar, she gets drenched in his body odor..
As Poynix had all her attention and focused on the warm touch and sweet voice, compliments naturally followed. For Mungchi, training with Poi Nix was like a bundle of gifts..
Mongchi, with his cleverness and self-control, had no intention of giving up this daily gift..
Mongchi, who was looking inside the separate room while thinking about random things, suddenly turned his gaze to the tall monster standing on the wall in the corner..
He was wearing a black cape and hood over his extremely thin body, and the hem of a black-grey bandage was visible under the shadow of the hood..
A monster with an extremely suspicious appearance, no, the wizard of the Marquis of Eavon slowly raised his head towards the ceiling..
Mungchi stopped breathing without realizing it. The new model melted into the small space under the roof of the window and the darkness there..
She tensed up at the strange sensation. It felt like something invisible was squeezing me from all directions..
Instinctively, I knew that the monster was up to something..
It wasn't horsepower.
The magic power emitted by the wizard usually gave the feeling of weighing down the space, but this time it was different. Also, if this was really magic, Hayla sitting next to Phoenix would have noticed it right away..
The munggi quickly shook his head..
Although I felt something suspicious, I couldn't rush into the private room where a high-ranking noble was staying and murder his subordinate just for that reason. That was something that got Phoenix in trouble..
The atmosphere in the separate room was not bad. A young woman named Panabel was literally laughing non-stop, and Phoenix and the young boy also laughed occasionally..
The monster seemed to be motionless at first glance, slowly turning its head and looking around. It looks like he caught a trace of the assassin with a magic trick befitting a wizard..
Munch grumbled to himself, “If I hadn’t dozed off, this wouldn’t have happened,” and then made a decision..
She jumped up using the darkness as a stepping stone and disappeared between the cathedral fence and the steep cliff..
Mungchi, who was trudging back to the communal house, ran into a group of mercenaries who had gathered in groups in the front yard for evening training..
“Oh, a bunch! It just worked out well..”
The person who pretended to know was the heavy soldier derby..
‘Unlike other mercenaries who called him ‘Mungchi’, ‘Mungchinim’, or ‘Hey there’, the dervish would call him by his first name..
It was annoying that a woman who looked like that man was pretending to be friendly for no reason. So she narrowed her eyebrows and swore something at the dervish. No, I tried to do that..
“Wait here for a moment. I have to take yours..”
“••••••mine?”
“okay. The armor is complete..”
“ armor?”
Instead of answering, the dervish called a mercenary. The boy who had been picked up in a small country town called Polville or something ran to the back of the house in a huff when the dervish ordered him to run an errand and brought something back..
“what's this?”
“armor. It's made from wyvern leather..”
I was confused as to whether it was leather armor or just leather clothes, but then I realized that it was made from the by-products of wyverns caught at the ancient gate some time ago..
“ Q ”
There was an acrid smell from the oiled leather..
As far as I know, in order to tan leather and make clothes, boots, etc., it took a long time to dry and oil it..
But you made armor out of leather that you got less than 3 weeks ago? At first glance, it is probably a defective product..
Perhaps reading that expression, the dervish smiled and reassured her..
“It's obvious what you're thinking. It's made properly, so don't worry and get it quickly..”
“Who made it??”
“Who could it be??”
The dervish's words were received by U Tequai, who appeared wearing a hideous-looking mace with five thick black thorns sticking out of his shoulder..
“I made it. Esson, Cabas and Dillon assisted..”
“……Uncle?”
“be right.”
Utequai grinned and continued..
“He was quickly stopped using Phoenix's ice knife and the evil scythe that had lost its evil power. So don't worry.”
“ Q ”
The bunch looked down at the armor with an ambiguous face..
“It's made from wyvern leather, right? It's so light.”
“Made using only wood leather. The wing and back skin is hard and tough, but also heavy and stiff. Wood leather is less hard and tough, but lighter and more flexible..”
Hearing that it was a wyvern's neck leather, Munch's frown became even more frowned upon. however,
“That was something Nari mentioned separately, so I paid special attention to it..”
It was the grumpy Eson behind Utequai who spoke..
“lily? Poiga?”
“That's right. I made a total of five sets, and that one cost me more money than the other four put together..”
After hearing that, I looked again and the finish on the shoulders and sides looked very good. It looked like the scale-covered leather was firmly held in place with thick thread mixed with wire. Contrary to what it looked like, it was very light and soft as if it were made of cowhide..
“…… okay. “I’ll use it well.” Contrary to the blunt answer, the round eyes were sparkling and pouring out light. He seems even more pleased to hear that it was made at a separate request from Poynix..
Utequai asked as he sent Eson, who was secretly smiling, to the training site..
“Phoenix and Heila? Are you still at the cathedral??”
When Munchi nodded, unfolding his armor and putting it on his body, Utequai scratched his chin and asked another question..
“Then why did you come alone instead of together?‘?”
“The Marquis' Wizard-”
Mungchi, who was about to answer without thinking, closed his mouth in shock and looked up at Ute Kwai..
“why are you asking me.”
“Didn’t you follow Phoenix?.”
“I didn't follow you.”
“ O”n •
Utekwai shrugged his shoulders and continued..
“thank god.”
“••••••what?”
“I'm not saying it's something to hide..”
Munchi's gaze became a little sharper, but he continued talking regardless..
“Watching is common in love, but too much of anything is bad..”
“……what are you talking about.”
“It's not a good thing to have someone watching everything about your day. Even more so if you don't want it..”
Mungchi seemed a little angry and his lips twitched, but he couldn't finish his sentence..
“Phoenix might be okay. Because I like you very much. Still, unpleasant things are unpleasant. so,”
Utekwai tried to tap her on the shoulder, but the bundle avoided his touch by sliding back a couple of steps. Utequai raised his awkward hand and scratched his chin again before turning around..
“Let's go, it's training time..”
The crowd ignored him and went into the house..
She glanced around the house as was her usual habit..
After checking the warehouse to see if the equipment obtained from the previous battle was in good condition, I headed to Hayla's room. The door was locked, but I easily opened it using a sharp metal needle..
Hayla's room was warm, but there was no special smell. If I sniffed it with concentration, I could smell a faint tea scent, a sweet honey scent, and a faint scent of blood..
I followed the smell of blood to the bedside, to the pile of blankets. There was a big egg there..
This mysterious something that was once Poynix's favorite sword but turned into an egg was also a subject of interest to Mungchi..
In her opinion, it was unfair for Hayla to have this mysterious egg all to herself. However, Hayla was Poynix's cousin and had extensive knowledge of various mysteries, including blood magic, so she was the perfect person to manage the eggs..
Still, I wanted to leave at least a small trace of Poynix's related items..
She took a small dagger from her belt and cut her fingertips. I placed my finger, which was dripping with blood, on the egg. The egg, covered in scales like that of a wyvern, hungrily sucked blood..
After feeding it some blood, I gently put my ear to the egg. Despite my extremely sensitive hearing, I couldn't hear any sound..
The egg that had been hatching for some time returned to its original state and escaped from Hayla's room..
Next is Poynix’s room..
Unlike Hayla's room, it was a place where the bunch could leave traces as they pleased, so she buried herself in a cozy blanket..
In the familiar scent of roasted nuts, Mungchi fell asleep in just a couple of breaths..
