I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 276

same time.
The remaining Corrupted who could not enter the village were also given their own mission..
It may not mean much, but it was a search around the village..
There is no clear purpose.
Since I couldn't enter the village, I planned to contact any residents wandering around the village and ask them about this..
There may be unexpected harvests in the process..
“Originally, it would have been an impossible operation..”
“That's right.”
Ramon quickly nodded at Araksad's words..
It was because of their unique appearance..
I stayed in Snowville for quite some time, but the locals still didn't approve of Corrupted..
Lanfero and Rukuruku, which have a human appearance, are better, but... Even so, most people are afraid because they know that they are a different race..
However, the person who came this time looks fine from the outside. One was even dressed as a nun..
It's not a neat nun's uniform, but the attire of an inquisitor who can move around comfortably.…….
72Since it is the attire of a religious monk, the vigilance of residents will also be greatly lowered..
This is because they are monks of a religion that is treated almost like a state religion in the empire..
It was clear that going together would only cause a disturbance, so Ramon and Araksad were cleaning up the mansion while the two were wandering around outside..
Araksad said.
“This clan is really getting new recruits. That's a normal human being, not of a different race..”
Ramon asked because his tone felt a little odd..
“Are you in doubt??”
“How much of a loss will they take by joining Corrupted? All I can think is that he's either a weirdo or has some kind of purpose..”
“Master is not that kind of person. And he was a good person to the nun and the girl Mir..”
“Your eyes are trustworthy, but... … . Apart from that, I also only judge based on what I saw in person..”
Ramon sighed deeply..
“Ugh. At least it will be more helpful to Corrupted than to other insectivores. no. In fact, it's already helping..”
“That's undeniable..”
“Anyway, Brother Araksad, will you also go on a mission with us this time? I think it will be reassuring if you go with me..”
“okay. Since there is no other labor, it must be that way. It's hard to believe everything you say.”
I suffered discrimination and persecution throughout my short life. I didn't think all those attitudes would change like the flip of my hand now..
The past years have been difficult enough to give confidence to such negative thoughts..
But even if only 10% of what Ramon said is true, wouldn't it be a big change for Corrupted?.
Eventually, when Ramon had cleaned the three empty rooms to a level where people could sleep, the door opened and Verita and Mir returned..
“Are you here? ah. Aren't you cold? I warmed up the blanket here. There is also honey tea. It's a bit old, but it won't be a problem..”
“Brother, I appreciate your consideration, but it’s okay. First of all, reporting comes first..”
When Verita said that with a grin, Ramon looked as if all his fatigue had melted away. Isn’t this what a saint from a fairy tale looks like??
On the other hand, Araxad's gaze was directed at the mace that Verita was holding. It is a weapon that cannot be wielded with any amount of physical strength..
Moreover, the fact that he carried that cumbersome bastard with him while searching the relatively safe surroundings of the village shows that he is a warrior who knows how to prepare..
Truly a heretic inquisitor.
Araksad asked, hiding his feelings..
“Did you get anything?.”
“I don't know if this information has any meaning, but first, why don't others listen to it too? I'm sure you said there were two more.?”
“It's not two people, but if I were to say it, it's one person and one machine..”
“……?”
Araksad suddenly looked at the ceiling and said.
“Sharmud.”
At that moment, as if to retort, something fell from the sky..
“Wow?!”
For a moment, I thought water droplets had fallen from the ceiling. The living room of this poor mansion was not much different from the outside, and even the ceiling had icicles hanging from it..
But it was too big to be called a water drop..
This liquid had the appearance of sticky mucus, but as it took shape, it became more familiar than I thought..
“Slime?”
The slime made a loud sound..
“Oh oh… … . This is my first time seeing slime. Isn’t this a monster that rarely exists in the North??”
Mir seemed to like the slime looking up at him cutely and tried to hug him, but Ramon got scared and stopped him..
“careful! Sharmoud's slime melts living things. It hurts if you touch it with bare hands.!”
“It melts?!”
“It literally melts living things, so you can touch them with just gloves. If it comes off, it will be a disaster so be careful..”
Mir, who was secretly watching the slime, asked.
“Do you understand what I'm saying??”
Then the slime's body moved and made an 'O' sign..
“Oh oh… clever…….”
Verita, whose expression didn't change much after seeing Slime Charmud, nodded and opened her mouth..
“I met a child on an ice lake near the village..”
“kid? At this time??”
“yes. He was a kid about 10 years old, and when I asked him what he was doing at this time, he said he was looking for his little brother..”
“Brother…….”
“They say that two days ago, we were fishing together near an ice lake, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared..”
Araksad was silent for a moment and then said:.
“It's a possibility I don't want to think about, but maybe I fell into the lake.?”
“They say the probability of that happening is low. They both said they had fruit that exploded in ice water. So that if anything falls out, you'll notice right away..”
“hmm.”
“Moreover, there is one more decisive reason.”
Berita's voice lowered..
“Before it disappeared, I heard a faint sound of bells..”
“…….”
Mission details have already been shared.
It meant that everyone here knew that something similar had happened in Mir's hometown, the Frostwolf tribe..
Araksad said.
“…We'll talk about this again when the boss comes back..”
“yes.”
Ramon suddenly looked out the window and muttered..
“Anyway, I don't know if I'm doing well.…….”
“What is there to worry about? The boss may be a bit lacking in management skills, but he doesn't have the temper to cause a fuss at a time like this. If that had been the case in the first place, Corrupted would have been purged long ago..”
“no. Not Brother Lanferro.…….”
“……?”
Ramon pursed his lips and finally swallowed his words..
What passed through my mind was a platinum-blond boy..
Because I couldn't predict what the newbie, who didn't seem particularly patient, would do..
‘No matter what, you probably won't get into an accident in the small town you just arrived in.…….’
* * *
Kuzyjic.
I walked while stepping on pieces of the broken window, and it felt better than I expected. I think it was due to a mixture of ice and glass fragments stuck to the window..
While thinking about such useless things, I looked at the number of people inside the building..
As I expected, there was a lot of drinking going on inside.…….
The largest dining table looked like it had been completely overturned by a human shot put..
No one seemed seriously injured..
Most of the people inside looked like ragtags. There were a total of eight people, seven men and one woman..
And the strongest one is on the female side.
In other words, that woman was the hero of Heros..
“What on earth is this?……?”
The man sitting at the head of the table suddenly stood up..
For some reason, this guy reminded me of the pig I saw in Tefer. It's not just that he's gained a lot of weight, but his basic facial features are as well..
What was that guy's name??
“ah. It was Haimer. Is it family??”
“…It's my brother..”
“aha.”
They were brothers.
I understand why blood is thicker than water. I chuckled as I came to a realization that was hard to come by as a bad nicker..
There was a table within reach, and it was miraculously in good shape..
Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've starved, so I unconsciously grabbed some food and ate it..
Of course, there may be glass fragments flying out, so don't forget to blow it slightly..
“Is it grilled fish? I've already done all the bones. It must have taken a lot of work on his part..”
“…Luan Badnicker, what rudeness is this??”
Only then did the man, who guessed my identity from my facial expression, glare at me and say,.
I muttered and asked the fish..
“therefore… Your name is?”
“…Oimer.”
“okay. I'm glad it's not a carrot?”
“…….”
“sorry.”
Perhaps because I came to the North, my jokes became dull. I sighed and ate another piece of fried food next to me..
Strangely, there are times when food tastes better when you eat it one by one with your hands..
Is it because of some inexplicable feeling of immorality that is different from when using cutlery??
While I was thinking about useless things, a few mercenaries approached me with a fuss..
The scruffy-looking guy at the front didn't say anything and just stretched out his fists..
I grabbed his outstretched fist and slammed it into the floor..
Kwasik……!
The floor of the building must have been old, so he sank down and fell into the open space..
Crunching tang, crudang tang tang…….
I spoke with my hand over my eyes like someone looking at a distant scenery..
“It was a building with a basement..”
Actually, when I first came in, I realized it the moment I stepped on it, but I pretended not to notice..
“Go away. The opponent is an active B-class hero. I'm no match for kids like you..”
The hero warned in a low voice and looked at me..
“Gold Fairy, you seem quite angry, but I don't know why. Why are you being so rough??”
“When did you see the gold fairy?.”
“……?”
I responded unpleasantly..
Of course, it is standard practice to call a hero by his or her second name if you are not familiar with it, but the world does not necessarily work in a normal way..
“Step aside, Sandra..”
Oimer took a step forward..
He looked a little scared, but his confident gaze was turned towards me as if there was nothing to worry about..
“What rudeness have we committed??”
“Aren't you taking revenge on me for messing around at Tefer? I didn't know you could be this boring.”
“There is a misunderstanding. We simply exercised our rights as a merchant association..”
“Oh, is that so??”
I stretched out my fingers one by one and said.
“Did the Tefer Branch accidentally delay the rental of our senior's carriage, happened to take over the Lothal Company during this time when we arrived in the North, and then happened to block the Corrupted's entry as a condition of maintaining the existing trade? It's fun.”
“…….”
“I heard this from someone I know. It is said that coincidences can happen only twice. They say you can be sure from the third time..”
“What do you mean by confidence??”
“Malice. I'm a bit sensitive to that kind of thing..”
When I said this with a smile, Oimer laughed along with me as if he was going crazy..
“Then what should I do??”
It's not that I'm crazy, it's that I've finally revealed my true nature.?
As I continued to eat, I watched Oimer's appearance and speech change..
“What if we had malicious intent? Has this company committed any act that violates imperial law? Not really. Lothal has been in the red for a long time, and we only used our capital to make Lothal a profit. I didn't do anything that was embarrassing in the process. Why was Corrupted blocked from entering? I just decided that it was dangerous for a different race to come into the village that was the target of trade..”
“What's dangerous??”
“What's dangerous? Are you sincerely asking this? I guess you don't know how many accidents involving different races occur in the empire every year..”
“Corrupted has been in Snowville for quite some time, but has not had any major accidents in that time..”
I didn't really research it, but what I said is probably true..
I could feel that in the conversation between Lanfero and the village chief, and if even one minor incident had occurred, they would have been kicked out a long time ago..
“There is no guarantee that it will be safe in the future just because it has been that way so far..”
“That's a play on words..”
“We are merchants. Before embarking on a commercial flight, even the slightest risk factors must be excluded. Can't we always send valuable manpower to such dangerous places? I knew there would be some kind of disaster. And there's one more thing you don't know.”
“What.”
“Corrupted has already borrowed a huge amount of money from us. I think it's time to demand that money too..”
This is the first time ever.
“money? How much did you borrow??”
“Are you going to pay it back? It's probably not worth the amount, so you better quit..”
I don't plan on paying it back, I'm just curious about the amount..
When I looked at him gently, Oimer shrugged his shoulders and said:.
“As of this month, it's only about 1,400 gold..”
“wow.”
It's an amount beyond imagination..
“How much was the principal amount??”
“300gold.”
“300Gold becomes 1,400 gold. Now I see that he was an alchemist, not a merchant. These guys are like raw robbers. Even if you use private loans, the increase will be less than that..”
“Even loan sharks don't lend money to people of different races..”
“…….”
These guys have great malicious intent..
They even lent money to destroy the people they avoided so much..
It would have been a difficult decision if I didn't have the patience and patience..
Of course, whether these intentions are malicious or good is none of my business..
“Just pay back the principal. A lump sum payment of 300 gold. Just eat that and leave. And stop fooling around with Corrupted..”
Oimer burst into laughter as if it were windy..
“You speak as if you have been entrusted with some kind of right. But what if we say no? Are you trying to bring a badknicker? Even nobles do not interfere in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. Even more so if you are an iron-blooded fighter.…….”
It was annoying to hear Badknicker mentioned every time I did something, but it was probably my responsibility as I inherited this lineage..
Either that, or create a very precise virtual identity..
“Even if you can't stop Badknicker, wouldn't your boss be able to stop it??”
“superior?”
Before the voice finished, a dagger flew out of my arms..
The dagger flew past the tip of Oimer's ear and stuck in the wall, causing him to tremble..
A hero named Sandra stepped forward, frowning..
“Is it a threat until the end? unheroic…….”
“no. for a moment.”
Oimer's expression became frighteningly stiff, and he asked in his normal tone again..
“This… where did you get this?”
“Because I'm your boss.”
“By no means are you talking about the northern headquarters.?”
“no.”
“Then you are the general affairs director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.?”
“That's not it either.”
“Or the financial manager?”
Why is the title of a mere commercial association so grandiose??
I shook my head and pointed my finger to the sky..
“no. the winde.”
Oimer's expression turned as white as a sheet of paper..
