I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 350

350fury

The journey south has finally begun, but I felt like I could take it easy for the time being..

At least that will be the case until we enter the South..

While spending time in the carriage, of course, no incidents of any kind occurred, so there is no way a carriage with Badniker's emblem on it would be involved in a dispute..

Delac spent time in the carriage concentrating on meditation and sometimes looking at his journal to check whether he was getting seasick..

Of course, because he gave off an air that made it difficult to talk to him, my conversation partner naturally became Ludwig..

If someone were to ask me, “What was the best decision you made before heading south?”…….

I will reply without delay:.

They say it was to trick Ludwig..

Think about it..

The situation where I was alone with Delac in the carriage..

Of course, I wouldn't have felt very awkward or burdened now, but I would have felt ridiculously bored..

Of course, Delac was the worst travel companion..

Apart from that, Ludwig was quick-witted, talkative, and eloquent..

There is nothing more disastrous than someone who has no talent for storytelling talking too much, but fortunately Ludwig knew how to tell a story in an interesting way..

This guy had a lot of experience, he talked a lot, and he knew how to tell interesting stories, so it was rare for me to be bored..

Moreover, he was quick-witted, so when he expressed his desire to take a break, he closed his mouth like a ghost..

In short, unlike Iron Blood Ball, he was the most ideal travel companion..

“By the way, where are you going to stop first? Go straight to the labor yard.?”

“No, I'm going to stop by [Sandstorm Hill] first..”

“Sandstorm Hill? It's a village of dwarves.?”

“that's right.”

“Why are you there? I'm going to buy at least one weapon.?”

“oh? That's okay too?”

I was sobered by Ludwig’s words..

Come to think of it, it's because we haven't been able to get the equipment for our 'Luzard' yet..

Anyway, in the south, you will mainly be active as a Luzard, so you need to look good and have weapons and armor that are practical in the desert..

‘It would be correct not to use the Seven Deadly Sins Sword and the Onmyangdo..’

As I was nodding alone, Ludwig continued..

“Hmm… … . Sandstorm Hill is a bit far from Rahild. It will be in a slightly rounded shape, but that's okay.?”

“That's okay. My older brother told me to go with my father first to the nearby Lahilde work station. It's my personal business.”

Then Ludwig, who thought for a moment, shook his head..

“no. Once we get to the south, we like to keep going together..”

“why?”

“That helps improve the quality of your disguise. When you have time, you can take your time…….”

“……?”

As I was puzzled, Ludwig continued his explanation..

“So, when someone suspects us and digs into our past actions. It is more persuasive to have a path rather than something that suddenly falls from the sky. Anyway, I wasn't going to go straight to Rahild, but I was going to wander around a bit..”

“aha…….”

After listening to it, I found it persuasive, but I also found it a bit perplexing..

Because I had no intention of carrying Ludvik or even Delac with me to meet Seren..

Since I was only planning to exchange brief information anyway and didn't think I would talk in depth, I thought it would be easier for me to just go alone.…….

Now that things have come to this, I think I need to reveal my purpose..

“Actually, it is. I have someone to meet in Rahild..”

“who?”

“Seren.”

“Who is that? girl friend?”

“Seren Good Spring.”

“…….”

Ludwig paused at my words, and Delac, who had been immersed in meditation, also opened his eyes and looked at me..

“…….”

In fact, this is a common reaction when the last name Goodspring is mentioned to Badniker..

I spread my palms out as a sign to calm down..

“There's no need to overreact. Since he was almost a child given away by the Serendo family, his connection to Goodspring is vague. Just like me a while ago. ha ha ha.”

After saying it, it wasn't a joke to tell in front of Delac..

“…….”

Ludwig said as I closed the spout again..

“What happened to Goodspring’s women’s food… ah. Now that I think about it, was it the name Seren that was discussed about the engagement??”

“That's right, but I didn't face him back then. That guy and I are classmates at the retreat. Afterwards, we also took classes together at the academy..”

“okay? I guess we've communicated pretty well enough to still keep in touch..”

“what… so so.”

Actually, I never felt like I got along well with Seren personally..

If someone asks you if you are close, it is difficult to answer “Yes.”…….

Aside from that, I think Seren Goodspring is a trustworthy guy..

‘It might be difficult to go to the labor camp together..’

Anyway, Seren is meeting to exchange situations and information..

“good. That aside, I thought about how I would get into the workhouse.?”

“of course. Actually, there is nothing difficult. ‘Luzard’ is a different race..”

After speaking, my tone became a bit cynical, but in fact, this is the reality of the empire..

Seven races that contributed greatly to the founding of the empire.

The trend of ignoring, hating, and discriminating against the remaining intelligent races spreads throughout the empire.…….

Such air currents do not discriminate between regions..

Ignored by the system, ignored even outside the empire..

That's this race.

The lizardmen are a race that is in a better situation, but from what I remember, it's not particularly like that in the south..

In the past, Lizardman mercenaries could be encountered quite frequently in the south, but even if they were skilled, they were often ignored..

That's why... What was it?

Perhaps it was because the spirit of reverence for the dragon race remained throughout the southern part of the country.?

First of all, the southerners seemed to have hated the Lizardmen more because they looked quite similar to the dragon race..

“Wouldn't it be possible to get in right away if you hit just one accident near the labor yard??”

“For example?”

“well… … . Assault or theft?”

Just in case, I think the crime is relatively light..

If there is a person who is unlucky enough to start a fight, I will throw a mug at him. Committing drunken eating at a delicious restaurant.

“well. Rahild would not be an easy place for such a petty criminal to enter..”

“Uh, really? So what should I do?.”

“I'll have to think about it some more first. There's still time, so there might be something I can put to use in my status..”

“Now that I think about it, what are you going to disguise yourself as??”

“Originally, I was thinking of imitating a proper desert nomad, but I guess that wouldn't work. I have no choice but to use my trump card.”

“trump card?”

“okay. wait a moment.”

While saying that, Ludwig took out some miscellaneous tools from his backpack..

‘art tools?’

I have seen artists drawing pictures on the street equipped with such tools..

Was it definitely a palette??

After a while, after seeing Ludwig dabbing it on his face, I realized that it was actually a makeup tool..

“uh…….”

And it became difficult for me to understand what was happening before my eyes..

It's not my favorite expression, but it's truly a magical sight..

Whiten your face, add blush to your cheeks, add eyelashes, add shine to your lips, and add hair.…….

Ludwig became a woman.

Also, if you meet her on the street, you can't help but stare at her..

“Voila. how?”

“…I never thought I would have a hobby like that.”

“Well, makeup is fun too. When you say a hobby, it's a hobby..”

Even when I teased him a little, Ludwig hummed..

Somehow her voice has become much thinner, but even though it has a relatively neutral tone, it can be said to be female..

“I've been thinking about it, and I think it would be better to play the immature young lady in this operation. You are the guide and mercenary I rescued from the desert... My father is a trustworthy boy knight whom I trust..”

Ludwig brushed his hair with a familiar motion..

Judging from his attitude, it seems like he often dresses up as a woman..

“I will play the role of the only daughter of a wealthy merchant family. Her name is Aibelle Romance. For your information, [Romance Company] is a company that actually exists..”

“You can impersonate yourself like that.?”

“I'm not even a nobleman..”

“The possibility of taking?”

“Low. Southerners know very little about the system anyway. Well, you may still meet someone who is familiar with the system, but there is nothing to worry about. 'Ibel Romance' is a real woman..”

“…Is it okay to impersonate a real person like that??”

The person who responded to this was Sanghyeolgong..

“The Romance family is Badniker's ally. Even if you are interrogated, you will be able to talk to them or cajole them..”

“You are right..”

“…….”

“Why do you look at me like that??”

“Once again, I thought that my brother had gone through a lot of trouble. It feels hard to believe that Atsu is the younger brother than the older brother..”

“what… I often hear things like that, but hearing them from you feels a little strange..”

Come to think of it, it was like that..

Ludwig continued..

“Anyway, it's special training until we get to the south..”

“special training?”

“okay. In the carriage, I act only as ‘Aibel’, and you act only as ‘Luzard’… … . Every time you act like 'Ludwig' or 'Luan', you get punished..”

“What punishment?”

“starving?”

“Let’s not play around with eating. It's not even a moth.”

“Then how about a hit at night??”

“Not bad.”

“As my father does.”

“Oh…….”

I have to risk my life.

“for a moment. Before we start, let me ask you one question:.”

“What?”

“What kind of personality is Aibel??”

“personality?”

Ludwig thought for a moment and then… Suddenly, he hit me in the face..

Wow-!

“I said I was thirsty ahhh-!”

“…….”

“This kind of personality?”

“What a shitty personality..”

Ludwig nodded..

“okay. The more shitty your personality is, the less suspicious you are..”

“Then what about your father? The appearance still needs to change?”

“That's right, but it's nothing big to touch. Black hair and bronze skin are actually common in the South. Just by trimming your hair and changing your eye color, your impression will change completely..”

Ludwig grinned..

“I'll take care of that too, so don't worry..”

***

1The carriage trip that lasted about a week has come to an end..

This is because carriages were not available in the desert area..

Strictly speaking, it doesn't mean you can't use it.…….

There is a type of wagon that can only be used in the desert, but it is so expensive that it is inefficient..

However, because the desert was so vast that it was far too difficult to walk, we were actually the only vehicle in the desert.…….

In other words, I decided to purchase three camels..

“that… lily. Sorry, but lizardmen cannot ride camels..”

…I decided to buy two.

pestilence.

However, it seemed quite unsightly for a lone warrior [Luzard] to ride a camel, so I barely convinced him..

“…….”

The hot sun pierced my scales, and hot air filled my lungs with every breath..

The vast sandy plain was shimmering in a strange shape with a haze added to it..

‘Southern district only.’

I never thought I would come back to this damn land of death and weathering..

The human mind is so strange.

When I was working here, it was a shitty place that I wanted to get away from as soon as possible, but when I came back after a long time, I saw emotions similar to joy and sorrow swirling in my heart..

Of course, not when we were lost in sentimentality, we stepped straight into the desert area..

‘Hmm…….’

As I walked, the Lizardman's body seemed quite advantageous for walking in the desert..

Once the human body was born, it was much easier to withstand the heat, and even the deep sandy areas were easy to walk on barefoot..

It was a moment when I truly felt the toughness of the Lizardman mercenaries I had seen in my past life..

At this rate, we will be able to reach our destination [Sandstorm Dune] within four days..

In fact, it was a peaceful journey without any major incidents until the third day..

But unfortunately, in the South, there is a saying like this:.

- In the desert, plan even things that don't go as planned.…….

It doesn't have a deep meaning, it just means that things rarely go as planned..

[Around the time I entered the beginning of [Sandstorm Hill]…….

Kugugugugugugugung-!

We suddenly felt the desert tremble slightly and looked behind us..

And at the bottom of the sand dune, I saw a group of people screaming and running away..

Looking at the outfit, it looks like a caravan... … . A huge sandstorm was following behind them..

‘ah. I came out.’

The reason this place is called [Sandstorm Dune] is not because sandstorms occur often..

Because it is an area where very dangerous monsters concentrated..

It's a sandworm.

This super-giant earthworm usually hides under the sand, but when its prey approaches, it digs a hole under the ground and approaches like crazy.…….

It is large and fast, so the sand flipping and scattering in its wake looks exactly like a sand storm..

Like right now.

“Hmm……?”

At that time, Ludwig narrowed his eyes and took out a telescope with a handle from his pocket, wondering where it came from..

It was a type of opera glasses used by aristocrats with poor eyesight to watch performances..

“That caravan looks like a bunch of dwarves.?”

“Oh, yeah?”

“He may be from the craftsmen of Sandstorm Hill. That's good. The dwarves there are closed and strict, but they don't treat their benefactors like that. Clearing your debt will help..”

It's a good thing to hear.

“good. Then I will go and come back. no…….”

I said in a serious voice.

“I will come back.”

“…….”

Everyone will have to focus.

A Lizardman prosecutor that the South should pay attention to... Because it’s Luzard’s first outing..
