I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 274

“What does that mean suddenly??”
Before Lanfero could say anything, Ramon protested in an absurd voice..
The guard's perplexed gaze turned to Ramon..
“I don't know either. Just follow the instructions given this time..”
“Instructions? Who on earth gave such instructions??”
“It's me.”
An old man appeared with a gentle voice..
He was a man of short stature and white hair, but his eyes were shining brightly..
“Chief Snero.”
Lanfero said.
“Should I ask you something first? Have our children caused some kind of nuisance to the village??”
“no. As per the promise we first made, your clan has not caused any harm to our village..”
“okay? So we're not the reason Corrupted was kicked out..”
“…….”
“I can't help but feel sorry. I thought our relationship was deeper than this.”
“I'm sorry. But ever since I became the head of Snowville, my purpose has always been one. It is to protect the peace and well-being of this town..”
“I know. So I thought they accepted our existence. Unlike other villages.”
Lanfero lowered his tone..
“Chief, can you answer me? Why did our interests suddenly break apart??”
“…….”
Lanfero's body and the surrounding scenery became slightly darker..
Even though it was the middle of the night, it was quite bright near the village, and it seemed as if the artificial light was slowly being sucked in..
The village chief's complexion also became a little pale..
I muttered my lips like that, and these words eventually came out..
“…I'm sorry.”
“…….”
The village chief repeated what he said again. Because of the strange atmosphere, I was in a situation where I couldn't do anything and I felt like I was going to die..
What on earth is this??
So, to sum it up, the village is right around the corner, but you can't enter it??
Lanferro glanced in our direction and asked again..
“The guys inside?”
“There is a cabin north of the village that was once used by hunters. You know, right? A mansion built by an idiot who spent all that money in the past... … . Looks like he's staying there for now..”
“They kicked them all out.?”
“exactly.”
“They wouldn't have gone out so easily..”
Hearing these words, the village chief slightly averted his gaze..
“…You were lucky. Of all the members of your clan, there was only one person left who was well-connected..”
“Is it Araxad or Daedalus? … . What do you like.”
Lanfero turned around..
“let's go.”
“yes? but…….”
“Let's go.”
“…All right.”
Ramon followed Lanfero with a completely unconvinced look on his face..
We too had no choice but to follow suit..
* * *
We walked straight towards the north of the village..
From this point on, it was Ramon who drove the carriage, but the residents here knew Ramon's face anyway, so there was no need to get involved in unnecessary disputes..
Fortunately, the roads around the village were paved to some extent, and the weather had cleared up a lot, so I wasn't too tired..
Even though I was extremely tired physically and mentally.
After about 20 minutes, I could see my destination..
“Is that that building??”
“That's right.”
“…….”
Although it was called a hunter's hut,…….
In fact, it was a mansion too big to be called a cabin..
However, it doesn't feel luxurious at all; rather, it feels like a deserted house that might be haunted..
There are many holes in the roof, and the door is half rotted and crumbling. And half of the windows were broken, but the final part was on the right side of the building..
That part was completely collapsed..
So, it is so miserable that it cannot perform its function as a building..
Still, there was smoke coming out of the collapsed chimney..
It was evidence that there was someone inside..
Verita tilted her head..
“Isn’t it too big of a building to just be used as a hunter’s rest area??”
“That's because it wasn't intended for that purpose in the first place. Was it about 50 years ago? A villager who lived in the Islands stopped by here to look for the [Rainbow Marten] in the north..”
“rainbow marten.”
It's one of the famous northern specialties that I've probably heard of..
They say it's so expensive that it's expensive to call. It's a spirit creature that can change its fur color at will and has the intelligence of a human, so even in the entire northern region, less than 10 animals are supplied a year..
“He was a guy with a lot of money and drive, so he built a mansion here. I stayed like that for about half a year, but I couldn't even see the rainbow marten... I huffed and went back to the system. Is that building a by-product of that time??”
Mir, who was listening, was surprised..
“They built a building like that and just left.?”
“It wasn't a proper building to begin with. I heard it was built in just a few weeks, but there's no way it's a proper building, right? In the first place, it wasn't designed with the northern environment in mind. The practical side is not even considered, and only the external appearance is emphasized, so much so that you have to wear layers of clothing even inside the building..”
“aha…….”
“Of course, soon the roof tiles collapsed, the door fell off, and so on, so it was just used as a shelter for hunters..”
Ramon opened the falling door and went inside, only to encounter a walking Lizardman..
“……!”
I was a little surprised, but that was it..
I was much less surprised than when I first saw Ramon, but the Lizardmen had a history of being members of the Allied Powers in the past.…….
Even now, among these races, it is the race that is most recognized by the seven races..
“Araxad.”
“Boss, you are here..”
“okay.”
However, there were some differences from ordinary lizardmen..
It's the color of the scales.
This lizard man had white scales, and even his eyes were red like a rabbit..
The scales could have given the impression of being weak, but if you look closely, you can see that he has many scars and his muscles are well trained, making him feel much more like a warrior..
As Lanfero said, it doesn't seem like he lacks skills.?
Lanfero asked..
“how have you been doing? I don't know if anything happened to her. What about the other guys? Did they all go out??”
“There are Noren and Charmoud. The rest will be carrying out missions, getting food, or just doing some nonsense in a place no one knows about..”
Lizardman Araksad's eyes turned to us..
“But the people behind it?”
I wondered if I should introduce myself first, but Ramon spoke for me..
“I'm new..”
“Newbie? who?”
“All three.”
“…….”
Then Araksad's expression changed very subtly..
Because the facial structure is different from that of humans, it took some time to realize that it was a fake smile..
Ramon also smiled and said.
“It's true.”
“Three new people suddenly arrived? There's a master from a wealthy family, a short girl, and even a nun.?”
“…It's not small.”
Mir muttered quietly as if he were protesting, but Araksad didn't seem to hear..
“That's it. I owe these guys a lot in many ways, so please take good care of them..”
“…I thought I was tasked with protecting some noble child..”
Araksad, still dazed, looked at us and said:.
“hmm… It's Araxad. As you can see, it's a lizardman. I don't know how much to trust what the boss says, but please be kind to me first..”
“I will leave it up to you.”
During the brief conversation, Lanfero intervened again..
“Let’s have a proper time for warm self-introductions later. Araksad, what happened? What happened to get you kicked out of the village? I heard you guys didn't cause any accidents..”
“Honestly, I don't know. It's only been three days since we were kicked out, and they haven't given us a reason. At first, I thought someone had made a mistake. Guys like Rukuruku and Syria. It wasn't like that..”
“Are you saying they were kicked out without giving a reason??”
“I couldn't help it. Because the children were crying.”
Lanfero said, slightly clucking his tongue..
“Have all the items in the branch been moved??”
“Most of it has been moved, but I don't know the details..”
“The seal in my office drawer is?”
“ah… I don't know. I think I probably forgot.”
Tsk, Lanfero clicked his tongue and looked at us..
“It's a seal given only to clan leaders. Without it, final approval for document approval is not possible. If you lose it, you have to go back to the headquarters to get it in person and have to pay a whopping 50 silver..”
“These tight-knit Heros guys…….”
As Ramon quietly expressed his indignation, Lanfero continued:.
“Without the seal, you cannot complete the joining process. Somehow, I have to go back to snowville one more time. I think we need to prioritize understanding the situation and why he was suddenly kicked out... … . Looking at the village chief's attitude, I don't think he will let us in easily..”
“Hmm.”
After thinking for a moment, I raised my hand and said.
“Boss, I have a plan..”
“plan? Like what?”
“This is what senior Araksad just said..”
Araksad tilted his head..
“what did i say?”
“They said they thought we were on guard duty for a nobleman.?”
“huh? ah.”
I said with a grin..
“Let's go with that..”
* * *
“…I never thought I'd come back in an hour.”
Snero came out and looked at Lanfero with a puzzled look on his face..
“I didn't explain the situation properly, so there's no way you can understand it, right, village chief? Moreover, there is a reason why we cannot simply retreat from this side..”
“reason?”
“There are guests from far away.”
“If you are a guest…….”
I was standing with Berita and Mir a little away from Lanferro..
With a very upset face.
I screamed as I saw Lanfero glancing in this direction..
“Hey, it's far out there! What are you whispering about? Speak loudly!”
“haha. Please wait a moment, master..”
Lanfero gave an embarrassed smile and then looked at the village chief again..
“… He is a master from a prestigious family that is famous in the islands. He must have been deeply impressed by the missionary activities of the 72nd Church and is currently considering joining the Church, and is making a pilgrimage throughout the empire with the nun. We are in charge of that escort mission..”
“hmm.”
“A hunter's hut is not a suitable place to live. Could you please let me stay for just a few days? Even considering our long relationship.”
What the chief said was that Corrupted would be denied entry..
In other words, if you are not corrupted, you can enter the village..
“that…….”
The village chief seemed to hesitate, so Lanfero pressed him in a lower voice..
“I would have said he was from a prestigious noble family, but he was the village chief. What do you think will happen if that immature young master returns to his family and tells them about this? When you find out that you've been sleeping in that old, cold, stinky mansion without even being able to set foot in the village..”
“…….”
“Even the uninhabited northern part of the country is an imperial territory. Please behave wisely..”
The village chief seemed conflicted..
Thinking that now was my chance, I glared at the village chief and screamed..
“what? Why are the words so long? Are you sure you can't even go into the village? Damn it, this is wrong!”
At this moment, I am Luan Badnicker at the most pathetic time in the world..
A crazy man who verbally abuses his employees, stabs them with his hands, squanders his money on gambling, and even sells his family's treasured sword..
Leaking voice, crooked head, raising only one eyebrow, like someone with a missing chin, etc.…….
I went crazy, showing with my whole body that I was in an unpleasant mood..
“No! Pay a lot of money! They said they would show me a tour of the North! After coming this far through a blizzard, what the heck? You can't even enter the village? What on earth is this? Oh oh oh oh-!”
I looked around with my eyes wide open..
It was a little fun because it felt like I went back to the old days for the first time in a while..
I got excited and screamed even more..
“Say something! I wish I had wasted my time like this! It's a hero organization or something, but the name is grandiose and there's no substance, substance! Or what? Are you all ignoring me?! I don't know what my dad does?!”
“……!”
When I said the last word, not only me but also the people around me started shaking at the same time..
‘this has gone too far…….’
I hastily changed the subject..
“You guys! Is it okay to take this rudeness as Hero's will?!”
Lanferro approached the village chief and spoke in a low voice, as if trying to prevent him from hearing me shouting..
“…As you can see, it's in that kind of condition. Chief Snero.”
Snero looked at me with heavy eyes and sighed..
“…We can't take all of you. That nobleman and Lanfero. Let’s do this with two people.”
Lanfero said with a slightly surprised face..
“I can take it too?”
“exactly. I think the noble master will need at least one bodyguard..”
“…….”
It was meant to be a guard, but in reality it meant to clean up after the immature young master..
Of course, I think that if there are two people, joining this member is the most appropriate appointment..
“Let's go to my house first. I'll treat you to a cup of tea..”
“Just a cup of tea…….”
A line passed by Lanfero's lips..
“It's good.”
