Chapter 49
My Villains Episode 049
13. army of young lions(4)
I remember the first time I encountered ‘Ulkar, the King of Slaughter’ while playing Dark World..
He was covered in blood and had such a terrible appearance that he could no longer be considered human..
The creepy appearance, the eerie background, and the directing, like a horror movie, almost made me pee..
“ hey.”
I think I was more scared of the 'Palace of Slaughter' where I would fight him than the King of Slaughter himself..
At first glance, I heard that 'Palace of Slaughter' was so brutal that it almost received an A0 rating when it was released in the US. They said it was a miracle it got an M rating.
“trunnion.”
Suddenly a question arises. What would happen if I killed Prince Ulkar here and now??
Without the King of Slaughter, Chapter 6 would not have been possible. When the scenario of Chapter 6 evaporates, the following chapters - While I was deep in thought, something stabbed me in the side..
“evil!”
I screamed and turned my head away..
Ellen was staring blankly with her legs outstretched..
“What are you doing, man?!”
“I didn't answer even when you called..”
“When do I?”
“just now. I was wondering if he was uncomfortable because he was just making an idiotic expression..”
•••Being sarcastic is almost a passive skill. What a bitch.
After informing the prince of the situation inside the city along with the letter, we rented a tent that was used as a warehouse and took a rest..
The prince and knights were probably discussing how to save the city by now..
When I turned my head, I saw that Grania, Mr. Luke, and Arnal had already fallen asleep..
Grania and I were able to receive treatment from the priest by order of Prince Ulkar..
It was my first time actually seeing divine power used, and it was incredibly fascinating. As if shedding skin, the wound fell away and new skin came up..
In addition, a faint golden glow waved along with the sound of a devout prayer, and my faith, which I had never had before, welled up. Long live Gwangmyeong Bridge!
Unlike potions that speed up regeneration, the priest's healing technique boosts vitality itself and is said to have no side effects (such as sudden hunger or anemia)..
I nodded when the priest said that he had borrowed the power of God..
Is a priest an essential element of a party?.
How many years ago was it? There was a time when I went to a PC room after drinking with my friends and played Dark World together..
To pique the interest of those who sell memories, I volunteered to create a Holy Knight character for party play.…….
What level was that? It would be around 30 at the highest, but I can't remember..
Just as the completely forgotten ‘Magician of Ganadara’ appeared in the person of Ellen, I hope that ‘Seonggisaida’ will also appear soon..
While thinking that, I lay back down and saw blue eyes looking down at me..
I frowned as I looked at Ellen, whose eyes were fluttering open, as if she wasn't tired..
“Are you not sleeping??”
“What should I do if I can’t sleep?.”
“Why can't I sleep? Hard work all day long
I did it.”
Then Ellen glanced sideways at the other colleagues and pouted her lips..
“That's because I'm worried.”
“Do you care? Seriously, now you're just pretending to be picky.?”
On our first night in South Harbor, we stayed in a shared room shared by nearly 20 other travelers..
When I think back to that time, Ellen's complaints were new to me..
“If you're like me, you can sleep while smelling the smell of a rotting corpse.?”
“Again, again. I told you to be careful what you say?”
“That's not it... Ugh.”
Ellen narrowed her eyebrows as if she was frustrated and continued speaking..
“The fraud that my grandfather deals with is magical power that comes from the spirit world. I don't know about a dullard like you, but for a magician like me, I can clearly feel the uneasy feeling.….”
“Uh-yeah?”
Ellen, who was feeling embarrassed and scratching her cheek, frowned slightly..
“you don't feel this?”
I don't feel it at all. Is it because I didn't use any magical power?.
“•••well. I'm not sure.”
“What on earth happened to the blood magician's inspiration??”
I scratched my head and looked away from his suspicious gaze..
Ellen didn't seem to have any intention of questioning her, so she just kept grumbling..
“That's the case with fraud. Why do I have to stay in a warehouse like this??”
“Better than sleeping with soldiers.
I guess the prince was considerate in his own way.?”
“Hmm, I don’t like that prince either..”
Is there something you like??
“Why did the prince?”
“There was arrogance dripping from his face and voice. Is that all it takes to be a royal family? They look down on people as if they were looking down on them..”
“•••losing.”
“what did you just say?”
“I didn't say anything?”
Ellen glanced at me with wide eyes for a moment, then buried herself in a straw bale and continued gossiping..
“This is my first time seeing an idiot wear such fancy armor while going into battle. Do you want to brag about your precious body? His face also looks like that of a gisaeng brother, and he is mischievously mischievous..”
“Hey, stop. who will listen.”
He must have realized that his voice had become dangerously loud, so he kept his mouth shut. Fortunately, I didn't feel any signs of popularity around me..
Ellen, who had been listening to her surroundings for a moment, pulled the blanket up to her nose and glanced sideways in my direction..
“•••That's why you rejected it too?”
“huh? what?”
“What the prince suggested.”
“Oh, that….”
The prince's offer that Ellen spoke of was none other than a recruitment offer..
He must have liked my skills and asked me to join him. Are you saying that you will treat me as a personal soldier and use it with great care?.
I expressed my refusal with the utmost politeness and in a roundabout way..
To become a subordinate of someone who will one day burn down the capital and hasten the crisis of the apocalypse... Well, wouldn't it be a bit difficult with a normal resolution??
The prince only expressed regret and did not impose any sanctions. Fortunately, he still seems to be a normal person..
I felt Ellen's gaze and nodded roughly..
“Well, there isn't that either. I don’t think it would be a good idea to do military service again at this age.….”
“Why are you old? And, you were a soldier.‘?”
Hey, what can I say now?.
“No, rather than saying that he was a soldier, it should be said that he led an unreasonable lifestyle..”
“•••life like a soldier?”
Curiosity welled up in Ellen's big eyes, but I tried to ignore it and quickly asked a question..
“you? What would you do if you were offered that??”
“me? I am….”
The prince seemed to know that Ellen was a spellcaster, but he didn't make any suggestions. Because of his young age, he thought that his level would not be very great..
Also, when I saw it earlier, did it say ‘Master Limond’? Anyway, it seemed like he had a very high-level wizard with him..
There's no reason to recruit a young wizard whose identity you don't know..
Of course, it would have been a different story if we had known that Ellen came from La Palais Palace.….
Ellen, who was lost in thought for a moment, shook her head..
“it's okay. If you use the palace's magic without a magician's card, you might be suspicious..”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? You used a lot of magic even without that.?”
In response to my question, the guy asked back with a pitiful expression..
“Is the back alley the same as the sewer and in front of the prince, you idiot??”
“Uh... different?”
“Commoners might say, ‘Wow, he’s a wizard,’ but it’s different for royal families and lords. They'll probably use someone to check my origins.?”
“What is that? It's true that you're from La-Palaise Palace.?”
“That's it though….”
Ellen suddenly closed her mouth. When I saw that, I was once again reminded of this guy's condition..
right. This guy is being framed for killing his teacher and running away. Entrusting oneself to the prince would have been a suicidal choice..
It would be best to avoid using magic in front of powerful nobles. I'll have to be careful in the future.
“Anyway, there are various annoying procedures to go through and things to do.….”
“Hmm, I see..”
“First of all, I don't want to be the subordinate of such an unlucky guy. What's the point of following a guy who only goes to war zones??”
“•••Why do you suddenly have a fever? I was just asking. Are you sad that you didn’t get the offer??”
When I made a joke with a calm face, Ellen immediately frowned..
“Who is upset? If you're going to talk nonsense, go to sleep..”
“I was trying to sleep, but you talked to me. Who was whining about not being able to sleep?.”
“Who's whining, you idiot?!”
“You whined, so who else would have whined? It's your specialty.”
“This, this dog……!”
The night in the unfamiliar tent deepened as usual..
I opened my eyes only after the sun rose in the sky, held my dazed head, and started calculating in my mind..
Ratman's experience point is 10, or 700 if you kill about 70 rats.….
The black slime costs 600, and the occasionally encountered corpse bugs and zombies add up to 600.
100It will be a little more than this.
Torvald's experience is about four to five hundred? Let's say 800 including subordinates..
The magic bandits at the camp are - about 20 rough guys? Properly dressed guys would be around 50. Let's say it's a little less than 500.
The guys we encountered during the chase would have similar experience points to the ‘Riding Bandit’, right? Then let's say 150, and since we killed about 15 people, it's about 2200.?
Assuming that the experience gained through party play is about half - Is the experience gained over two days worth 2400? Then it's not enough..
No, the battle at the camp or the chase on the plains was essentially solo play..
Assuming I ate the experience alone at that time, it was around 3800.?
12The experience required for the level is 4500, and assuming that the remaining experience was accumulated by leveling up at level 11, it seems to be roughly correct..
The reason I was covering my head as soon as I woke up was none other than leveling up..
It's only been three days since I became level 12 while fighting Poison and his group that attacked the inn, but I'm already level 13..
Well, the past two days have been a bit rough. I almost died last night..
It's a bit disappointing that Ellen's level remains the same... Considering that the experience he gained was around 2400, leveling up was still a long way off..
The stat bonus is 4 points invested in agility and 1 point invested in magic power..
As a result, the current stats are 20 points for strength, 19 points for agility, 20 points for health, and 2 points for magic power..
‘If you include the effect of the ‘Dragon Slayer’s Ring’, your strength and agility will rise to 23 and 22, respectively..
After much deliberation, I finally decided on the magic power. Anyway, at level 15, I had to raise my blood to a certain level to use rank 2 skills..
Rather than suddenly increasing a few points, it would be helpful to set one point in advance..
The skill bonus was saved. This was to give them rank 2 skills as soon as they reached level 15..
‘It doesn't matter if you shoot 'Blood Thirst' a little late, but 'Blood Seek', 'Plunder', and 'Hot Blood' are skills that are effective even if you only invest 1 point..
Of course, it seemed like a complacent idea to save skill bonuses while living in the real world.….
Even if you invest 1 or 2 points in ‘Blood Shield’ and ‘Thirst’ right now, there won’t be much change..
‘Since I have already invested 5 points in 'Blood Blade' and 'Flowing Blood', I cannot use any more skills until I open the next rank skill..
Thinking like that, I picked up the leather canteen and quenched my thirst..
And while I was spraying water on my face to wake up, a soldier came in with the tent open and told me that there was a call from the prince..
Hey, I haven't even eaten yet... . Even though I was grumbling to myself, I quickly got up..
“Hehe.”
Ellen, who was curled up like a slug next to me, looked around and made a foolish noise..
“It's nothing. sleep a little more.”
“•••rain.”
After putting a blanket over his head to put him back to sleep, I turned around and saw that Grania and Arnal were still asleep..
Mr. Luke had left his bed neatly tidied..
You shouldn't wander around carelessly... … Well, you should be careful..
I carefully left the tent and arrived at the command center with the guidance of a soldier. Unlike yesterday, the only people in the tent were the prince, the wizard, and the knight..
There were a few other soldiers and servants, but I didn't think I needed to worry about them..
“3Meet Your Highness the Prince.”
When I bowed and bowed, Ulkar nodded lightly, accepted the greeting, and then got straight to the point..
“The operation has been decided. I'll give your mercenaries a role too..”
“If you say it's a role?”
Listening to Ulkar's subsequent explanation, I was convinced in my heart..
This guy must be crazy.
