I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 107

Finish the conversation with Kelly Bay, the

curse of eternal life .

After cleaning the area around the base camp.

“Let’s go back!”

Me and the three parties returned via the teleport gate.

Kelly Bay waved her hand eagerly in this direction from the side of the blacksmith shop.

“Come often, you guys! Because I’m ignorant! Bring something delicious! got it?!”

No, even with lines like a grandfather living alone in the countryside.

Anyway, I plan to visit really often.

I bowed politely and pushed myself into the gate.

“You must come often, definitely!”

No, why are you so sad, Grandpa! Just like waiting for grandchildren for the holidays! I’ll be back, so get in!

Flash-!

***

As soon as I returned to the mansion, I called all the members of the three parties back to the drawing room.

Everyone was tired from the fierce battle, but it was necessary to sort this situation out and move on.

“At first, everyone had a hard time. This recapture operation was successful because all of you worked hard.”

After passing the simple drinks and snacks, I first drank a glass of the drink and opened my mouth.

But everyone is just staring at me like that. I squealed.

“Eat comfortably, drink and listen! You won, but why are you so rigid?”

“Oh yes!”

“thank you for this food!”

“I will eat well!”

Lucas and Evangeline popped the fruit pie in front of them first into their mouths, and the other party members began to carefully take a bite at a time.

The children of the Shadow Unit hurriedly shoveled snacks into their mouths, and the newbies of the Dion Mercenary Corps, who had been paying attention until the end, began to eat them. It’s cute.

“First I must explain to all of you. About the reason they disappeared without dying.”

After more or less everyone seemed to have had their drinks and snacks, I resumed my conversation.

“According to Kelly Bay, the old blacksmith I met at the camp… It is said that the people of the Lake Kingdom are cursed with eternal life.”

Lucas frowned.

“Eternal life… Curse? So you’re saying you won’t die?”

“okay.”

According to Kellibey’s explanation, it seems that the people of the Lake Kingdom resurrect in a specific place when they die.

Although it will take some time before I can move again. Anyway, it seems that it respawns even if you kill it.

“You never grow old and you never die. As if it were fixed on one axis of time.”

“You mean that such a curse has been placed on all the people of the Lake Kingdom? how… … .”

“Well, to say the people, there are only a handful of people moving from the bottom.”

Judging by its size, it is a city-state that seems to have at least a few hundred thousand people.

The NPCs belonging to the Lake Kingdom encountered in the actual game are dozens at most.

‘There are a total of 100 NPCs that can be encountered in the dungeon. Half of them are adventurers, and only half are citizens of the Lake Kingdom… … It takes about 50 people to catch a lot.’

I stopped thinking. wait for a sec.

‘… Then where are all the rest of the people?’

tens of thousands of other people.

If everyone is cursed with eternal life and is in a state of immortality… … Where the hell is everyone?

“Something is hard to believe. It’s like a fairy tale story.”

Evangeline, who was chewing on the pie, tilted her head.

“By the way, isn’t it usually a blessing rather than a curse when it comes to eternal life?”

Lucas nodded.

“That’s right. Everyone is anxious to live one more day, but if we could live forever… … Shouldn’t we call it a blessing?”

Damian was disgusted.

“I hate it.”

“why? Do you want to die quickly?”

“I hate dying, but living forever… I think it would be too hard.”

Everyone has a slightly different outlook on life.

I looked at Junior, the last main party member, to see what he was thinking.

“… It’s eternal… … .”

He muttered that while staring blankly into space.

It was a dreamy expression that the young wizard had never shown before. I’m a bit surprised

The Shadow Unit and the Dion Mercenary Corps also began to express their opinions about whether they would live forever or die while enjoying their lives.

The drawing room soon became noisy.

‘No, who told me to live forever? Everyone is drinking kimchi soup.’

I sighed and swallowed my drink.

‘Anyway, are you saying that the lake kingdom’s hostile NPCs should only be kicked out with respawn points instead of being killed…? … ?’

I’m glad I was able to subdue and kick him out. The fact that it cannot be fundamentally finished is a headache.

Does that mean we have to fight like this every time the Nightcrawlers show up?

“Anyway, I kicked them out of the base camp right away.

Won’t disturb us for a while. Now we must accelerate our preparations for the next defensive battle.”

I said, clearing the chaotic atmosphere.

“The enemy of the next defense battle is a blood relative. It is also a situation where it is certain that he is a high-ranking aristocratic vampire.”

Everyone looked at me and focused. I nodded.

“All of you will be given a new weapon that is effective for your blood relatives, and you will have to train to use it.”

I ordered three weapons made of silver from Kelly Bay.

Apart from that, they were planning to make silver weapons and give them to everyone.

“We have three weeks left before they attack. In the meantime, we must devote ourselves to defense without a break.”

After speaking sternly, I grinned.

“But, get some rest today. We did a good job preparing and executing the operation, and we had a lot of trouble.”

Everyone smiled faintly. I waved my hand away.

“Now, we’ve worked hard all night, so let’s go and sleep. dissolution!”

***

The Shadow Unit and the Dion Mercenaries left the drawing room first, and the main party remained last.

“Whoah… … .”

I yawned profusely. I’m so tired

It was already dawn. Cool sunlight streamed in through the window.

Lucas and Evangeline Damian were preparing to break up while chatting with each other.

‘huh?’

Then, I saw Junior sitting by the window.

Junior was resting his forehead with a pale complexion. why are you like that

“Junior are you okay? Your complexion is not good.”

“Hick?!”

As he approached, Junior’s shoulders trembled as he was startled.

Junior smiled awkwardly and looked up at me.

“lol. I must have been up all night and I am tired. A bit of a condition… … .”

Stumble.

Without answering, Junior stumbled without being able to keep his body still… … .

fluff.

fell into my arms

‘what?!’

Frightened, my whole body stiffened. what? what what what What’s happening?

‘Is this wizard betting on me right now?!’

For a brief moment, all sorts of thoughts ran through my mind.

What is he aiming for? Because it’s a gold mine, is it because of the money? How are you trying to seduce me, the prince? Because Ash is famous for debauchery? Ha, Ash might be that kind of bastard, but I’m not. By the way, how many children will you have if you get married?!

“Are you two okay?”

“What happen?”

Then Lucas and Evangeline came running.

Evangeline carefully supported Junior while Lucas slipped between Junior and me to take a protective stance.

In Lucas and Evangeline’s eyes, there was a light of a blurry boundary.

No, why are you guys vigilant?

Supported by Evangeline, Junior covered her face with her hand. I still can’t control myself.

“Sorry. majesty. I’m dizzy for a while… … .”

“I’m dizzy, but why did I dive into the arms of seniors?”

“Even if you are a noble magician, you shouldn’t approach your master’s body so easily.”

The two knights were still on guard.

“Jooju, are you in a lot of pain? Shall I cast a healing spell?”

Only Damian, who came running a beat later, had healing magic floating in his hands with an innocent face.

“haha. no. really not a big deal… … .”

shiver.

Before she could say anything, blood from Junior’s nose ran down her chin.

“what?”

She herself was astonished. Seeing the nosebleed wet his hand, Junior looked at him for a moment.

“Is this okay? Even if it’s a handkerchief here-”

I tried to get a handkerchief out of my pocket.

“… Ugh.”

However, it was faster for Junior to leave his seat and leave the drawing room.

“I’ll go see this one! Then everyone, get some rest!”

“Hey, Junior! for a moment!”

Before I could catch him, Junior was already far along the hallway of the mansion.

“… Get emergency treatment from Damian.”

Muttering bewildered, I glanced at the two articles.

“Anyway, why are you guys overreacting? to the sick.”

“Your lord is indifferent… … .”

Evangeline nodded at Lucas’ words.

“Magic energy was seething inside Juju-unnie’s body. As if it will shoot somewhere right now.”

“Eh? did you?”

I had no idea. The two SSRs might be able to detect it, but I don’t have that ability to detect it!

“Since we first met, Jooju seems to have been hiding something. There are also frequent cases where mana fluctuates unsteadily.”

I also thought that my intelligence and horsepower stats were not bad, but why didn’t I detect it? Is reading signs like this a different ability?

“Still, I didn’t say much because Jouju-nim’s skills were so pure.”

Lucas looked at the hallway where Junior left with a wary gaze.

“If it poses a threat to my lord, I have no choice but to stop it.”

“Um… .”

Damian, who was watching us, cautiously opened his mouth.

“But, Mr. Juju… It looked really sick.”

“Are you aware of that?”

Guess who isn’t a healer? He seems to be sick, not mana.

“Jooju-nim, whenever he uses magic, he puts a smoking pipe in his mouth.”

“what… Aren’t you a smoker?”

“no. What was in that smoke pipe was not tobacco, but an herb that had pain-relieving effects.”

“Eh?”

“It smells different. I also saw a scene where he filled the herbs himself… … .”

“… .”

Herbs that have analgesic effects?

Every time you use magic? why?

In pain, I slapped myself on the forehead.

‘No, wizards, why are all of you so sick?’

One’s leg hurts, one’s mana runs out of control, and one’s sick again!

This is trouble! If you have an expensive body, please live a long, disease-free life!

“Don’t just squat in the corner of your desk to study magic, do some stretching! Stretch your back too! Soak up the sun! got it?!”

I shouted to myself, but Lucas tackled me.

“I think that applies to your lord as well, but… .”

“Eh?”

“Okay, senior! It’s because my face is pale and the sun goes down and I’m stuck in my office all the time!”

“No, but they go out of the dungeon… .”

“Can I have that? In the future, seniors will also train with us.”

“I will take care of your lord’s health!”

Two avant-garde knights pumped their biceps (Evangeline was nowhere to be seen) and pressed me.

I groaned and shook my head.

no! The prince is Indian! Busy with all sorts of things! Go away, these bodily smiling children!

***

the next day. around noon. office.

“Ugh… .”

I am stretched out in my chair.

Really, I was caught by a duo of drivers all morning, and I was just jogging and training.

I’m tired from suddenly doing an exercise I wasn’t used to… … .

‘… Should I ask Junior to exercise with me?’

I thought about the new mage’s health problems.

Same with the coffee I spilled yesterday. Same with staggering.

It’s like smoking an herb that has a pain-relieving effect like a cigarette.

It is clear that something is wrong.

The problem is that he doesn’t seem to have any intention of opening his mouth.

‘He’s hiding his stats, he’s hiding his health problems… … .’

I even had a magic battle with my grandmother, Jupiter, to see if there was something wrong.

It would be nice if you could tell me what happened and what’s going on.

Doesn’t look like that at all.

jump!

It was then. Guy Ader entered the office with a piece of paper in his arms.

“The dispatch sent to the capital has returned!”

“oh.”

I straightened my posture spread across the chair.

It was a request for reinforcements that I always sent, but as soon as the stage 5 opponent was confirmed as a blood relative, I sent it again.

I earnestly wrote down that if I didn’t help this time, I would really perish.

It was a request for reinforcements sent in a long form, almost like writing a letter of appeal in my own handwriting. At this point, it’s time to listen!

“So, how about reinforcements?”

“Hee hee that… .”

Ader, who was scratching the back of his head, smiled awkwardly.

“No!”

That’s it, this damn you can eat!
