I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 364

364fury

“what does it mean?”

“Isn't Sir James's goal anyway, to put this lizardman in a labor camp? It means I will save you trouble..”

Then Ludwig laughed..

“why. The more you look at it, the more you crave this lizardman? I think he could do well as a player if we just put him in the workhouse.?”

Strangely, Ludwig's expression of being a player seemed quite plausible, so I almost laughed for a moment..

Seren slowly shook her head..

“He seems to be a pretty good warrior, but there are plenty of people of this level in this desert..”

“okay? Well, that aside, how much are you going to buy it for??”

“10gold.”

I came to my senses.

That's because it's incredibly expensive for a mere lizardman..

This is an empire where slavery has all but disappeared, but has not yet completely disappeared. This can be seen just by looking at the auction hosted by Ryzen..

And in my personal opinion, 10 gold is enough to easily buy dozens of Lizardman slaves..

This is because they are a race that had little value as slaves in the first place..

“The amount is generous, but that's because I just had 1,000 gold pieces. Why does it sound a bit bland?.”

“What I just said was just seasoning to make it easier to understand. There is no way one person could secure one relic, right? You will form a team of at least five people, and up to dozens of people, and in the process, profits will naturally be divided equally..”

“Still, as long as the prisoner is alive, profits will continue to come in..”

“That's right. But it seems unlikely that the renowned Knight of the Badniker would take part in such a gamble. What will happen if this comes to light later??”

I almost whistled for a moment.

If this was a real duel, it was the moment when Seren's sword penetrated the opponent's gap..

This is because the words just said hit Badniker's weak point exactly..

Badniker is a statement that can only be made if you accurately understand the physiology of the family.?

Of course, most noble families value face, but Badnicker had a much stronger rigid atmosphere, perhaps due to the ideology of the head of the family..

“Moreover, in order to receive money periodically, you would have to stay in the south and manage the prisoners yourself, and you could not even claim the presence of an agent in this process. Excuse me, Sir James, won't you have to leave this desert at some point??”

“…hmm.”

Ludwig was silent for a moment, as if he had nothing to say in response..

Then he glanced at me and opened his mouth..

“That too. good. Well, I'll think about it some more, so you can call it a day..”

“When can I come back?.”

“One day is enough.”

“All right. See you again tomorrow at this time. Please tell me about the gold fairy then..”

Seren nodded calmly and coolly exited..

Aside from asking for information about me, he didn't seem to be very curious about the content..

If so, there may be another reason for contacting Ludwig.…….

You don't have to think hard.

Maybe contact itself was the goal..

‘I would be curious if Badknicker's article suddenly appeared in the South..’

Normally, I would have worried so much that my head would cramp, but maybe because my opponent was Seren, I wasn't that worried..

Although we must maintain at least some vigilance..

“…….”

Immediately after Seren left, Ludwig looked around, pointed to the next room, and spread two fingers..

I said with my mouth open..

‘two people?’

‘okay.’

After all, there was a watcher..

After exchanging glances for a moment, Ludwig immediately opened his mouth to avoid arousing suspicion..

“Why do you do that? Lizardman. Do you think you will be treated better if you are handed over to that intelligence guild??”

“…….”

“Don't be mistaken. A person of a different race and a criminal will be treated like livestock wherever he goes..”

While saying that, he took out a small notebook from his pocket, scribbled down something, and showed it to me..

[What are you going to do??]

I replied calmly and took the pen..

“I didn't think of that..”

Urazil.

It was very difficult to write with the Lizardman's fingers, but when he pressed down, something resembling letters came out..

[I don't know what the plan is, but what the Master said is quite reasonable..]

[At least for James, it would be a strange picture if he refused the offer..]

Swish swish.

We continued our conversation, exchanging notes through notes..

[But I feel uncomfortable handing you over to the other side..]

[I did some research about Bastard, and I heard that the master changed half a year ago. From exactly that point on, its power began to grow..]

[If there is a power that has grown rapidly in a large city like this, it is one of two things..]

[Either they are incredibly resourceful, or they have enormous backing..]

It's not true now, but Ludwig's writing speed was incredibly fast. But I couldn't even hear the crunching of the writing instrument. Is there some kind of magic going on?.

After thinking about it for a while and thinking a bit strangely,…….

I moved the pen handed to me.

[Let's accept the offer.]

[The reason is?]

[I think it might be more difficult that way..]

It was difficult to move the pen, so I left out some words..

In short, I thought that I would be able to face more raw situations by infiltrating using the information guild's strings rather than carrying a sponsor called Badnicker..

I get into a lot of fights and get involved with a lot of shitty guys..

Then, wouldn't it be possible to naturally contact Gustav??

[If that's what you think. Then you don’t have to wait until tomorrow?]

[no. First of all, I need to do some more research just in case..]

[Brother, please find out what kind of place Bastard is. Is the place trustworthy, haven't they done anything that went too far, and what kind of guy is the master?…….]

[When I have time, I will research more about my father's whereabouts..]

You are treating me harshly..

Ludwig made exactly that kind of expression and spoke in a harsh voice..

“Still, I can't hang out with a low-class guy like you anymore. okay… … . It wouldn't be a bad idea to accept the Master's words. Congratulations. A new hell will unfold for you.”

“…….”

I laughed and slapped my forearm..

Thanks to the scales, it made a sound as if it had been hit by a sword sheath..

At least the guys eavesdropping in the next room will think I got hit again..

I said in a heavy voice.

“I'll keep that in mind..”

Ludwig nodded and was about to leave the room, then showed me the note again..

[So what are you going to do today? To stay quietly at the inn?]

[no. I have work to do too.]

I thought as I touched the keys in my subspace pocket..

Once you enter the labor camp, you will be very busy for a while, so now is your only chance..

***

How will a person who has been trapped underground for hundreds of years feel when he finally escapes and sets foot on the surface??

Under a blue sky I can no longer remember, soaking in the sun, feeling the wind, and breathing in the stuffy air unique to the sandy desert..

Even I couldn't imagine it easily..

Even though I had a similar experience.

Depending on your perspective, you could also see that I was trapped in a place called Yeongsan for 10 years..

10year…….

It was an incredibly long time for me, who hasn't even lived for 50 years, and it was, but when I think about it now, I don't have such bad feelings..

There were many unknown places in Yeongsan, which was so vast. Before I left there, I probably didn't even understand half of Yeongsan..

Above all, I had a teacher and the death penalty..

On the other hand, the person currently looking down at Iruga from the sand dune has lived in captivity for dozens of times longer than me, and has only interacted with people who have no interest in him..

So, at this moment, isn’t Lycerradigos feeling a tremendous sense of liberation??

“…….”

Lycerradigos said nothing..

I just stood on the hill with my eyes closed and welcomed the occasional hot wind with my body..

It's been like that for an hour already..

Was it worth it to deliberately call it from a sand dune with an open view, rather than from the street??

Under the blazing sunlight, Riese's pure white skin gave off a dangerous feeling at first glance..

He was so small that when a strong wind blew, it seemed like he would be blown away like a fallen leaf..

Anyway, I'm a talkative guy, but I'm not a tactless guy, so I stayed silent without breaking Rise's thoughts..

About ten minutes passed again..

Only then did Rise look at me..

My pupils are shaking a little, but I feel relatively calm now..

“It would have been nice if it was a place with more things to see, but it's a desert, right? Well, I hope you understand that it is the largest city in the South..”

“…Don't mind it. The desert was a place I wanted to visit at least once. Anyway, what does that look like??”

“ah. I guess it's personal circumstances..”

Currently, I was in the form of Naru, who was briefly disguised in the system.…….

Luan was in a situation where he couldn't move, and Luzard was currently under surveillance by [Bastard], so there was nothing he could do..

Of course, there is one more hidden form left in the Linchal tribe's mask, but I wanted to hide that form as much as possible..

So naturally, the only option left was Naru..

“Shall we eat something first? If there is a food you want to eat, let me know. For your reference.”

“You seem to know this city well..”

“It's okay.”

“hmm. I want to eat something sweet.”

“I'll let you eat a lot of that for dessert... … . Let’s go to the place I recommend first.?”

“That's right.”

I took Lise down from the sand dune and returned to Airuga..

And first, I bought him expensive clothes. In many ways, Li Se's original outfit attracted a lot of attention..

Like some kind of ghost, I tidied up her messy hair and dressed her in neat clothes, and only then did the gloomy feeling disappear from her..

I glance at RiSe, and although this situation is awkward, she doesn't seem to dislike it that much..

‘It was good.’

I laughed evilly inside..

I planned to make Riseradigos' daily outing log the best memory today..

This is because it was concluded that there was no harm in being seen well by this highly skilled warlock..

Going to a restaurant with a clean-cut RiSe..

This was a store I stopped by a few times before returning, and it was famous for its snake meat..

When you think of snake meat, you might get the feeling that it would be tough, smelly, or somewhat unhygienic, but that wasn't the case at all..

If it had been that kind of place in the first place, I wouldn't have visited again and again..

“…By the way, is snake meat okay??”

“what does it mean?”

“What is it, Lise seems to be a bit close to snakes, including her hair. I was wondering if you might feel a little uncomfortable..”

Although I said this out of concern for other matters, Rise, who was staring blankly at the street, responded in an indifferent tone..

“It doesn't matter at all. Isn't it rare for people who raise ornamental fish to not eat fish?.”

“oh…….”

When you say it like that, I understand clearly..

I sat down, scanned the menu, and asked:.

“Do you want to eat anything else??”

“What kind of dish is this steamed scorpion dish??”

“It will be a little spicy. Should I just order one to taste it??

“hmm. And I wish there were some fruit and vegetable dishes too..”

Looking for something hard to eat in the desert.

Of course, I nodded without showing it, and ended up ordering too much for the two of us..

“…….”

When the food came out a little while later…….

Although Lise didn't make a fuss, she moved the dishes very cautiously..

Put it in your mouth slowly, then chew it thoroughly, very carefully..

Then, when he was startled, admired himself, or ate his favorite food, his expression even relaxed slightly..

In the meantime, I roughly put some food into the spout and looked around..

“…….”

“…….”

My gaze stings.

I could feel the mercenaries squinting at me, pretending not to be like that..

Two pretty well-dressed kids ordering different types of food at a table are bound to attract attention..

Are they immature children of rich families? How much cash do you have? Are there any escorts around?.

I guess they are checking things like this.?

‘hmm.’

Of course I expected that there would be flies..

Even though Airuga is relatively safer than other places, the south is still the south..

Not only the system, but it is a mess compared to a city like Tefer where Heros headquarters is located..

Of course, there is no problem even if they start a fight. Just beat it up as much as you want and it will be resolved..

Anyway, I and Risena will disappear from here tomorrow, so there is no need to worry about being followed..

After finishing the meal a little while later, I went out with Lise, who was looking quite satisfied..

“I have good news.”

“What?”

“There is a branch of [De Malin Refreshment Shop] in this city..”

“……!”

Reese was startled..

I said with a triumphant expression as the response exceeded my expectations..

“Have you ever tried freshly baked snacks? It really melts in your mouth. If you add high-quality black tea to it, you won't know if two of you eat it and three of you die..”

“Hmm. Right…….”

RiSe pretended to be nonchalant and pricked her ears, adding black tea to the refreshments… I muttered..

The plan is going very well..

I feel like I've earned a lot of points at this level, but it won't be a bad thing since I'll look better while I'm at it..

“But the De Malin refreshment shop is always crowded with customers. We'll have to wait a bit, but Lise, would you like to go to the inn and wait for us? I'll pack it up right away.”

“…Rather than that, I want to look around around here..”

I thought for a moment, but then nodded willingly..

“Would you like to? You shouldn't do anything that stands out too much.…….”

“You're worrying unnecessarily. Who do you think I am?.”

Now, I am a country girl who has moved to the city without any luck.…….

I nodded without even showing this. Still, if I'm around here, I'll be able to deal with it quickly if something happens..

‘…Anyway, there are so many people..’

Who knew that De Malin Refreshment Shop would be such a hit in Airuga?.

It seems like mercenaries who seem to like to drink alcohol had a hard time resisting the temptation of sweet desserts..

The sight of mercenaries with sharp backs, tattoos, and grim expressions standing in line at a dessert shop with a cute sign was rare in its own way..

It's kind of sad that I have to join their ranks..

‘The line is longer than I expected.’

If you make a mistake, you may have to wait here for an hour..

Doesn’t this place take reservations??

I'm standing here thinking about such trivial things.…….

“oh?”

Suddenly I heard a familiar voice..

“It's a familiar face.?”

The moment I heard that touching voice, I got goosebumps..

The moment I looked behind me, a woman who looked like Naru and was half a head taller than me caught my eye..

Decadent features, curly hair, and half-moon-shaped eyes..

Although the attire was different, I recognized it at a glance..

When she was once in the form of 'Naru', she was a witch she encountered at the Middle Name Gathering..

Later, when I stopped by Frostwolf Village in the north to look for Verita, I saw the colorless believer..

“Ah, I never thought we would meet in a place like this. After all, fate is fun.”

“…….”

“What are you doing here??”

Witch Dorothy looked down at me with a grin..
