I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 246
◈ 246. [Side Story] Box Cracker (6)
Surprisingly, somehow unbelievable!
Both boxes have finished equipment.
‘I believed in you! Tsarsin!’
After all, Tsarsin and I get along very well! I’ll have to set it up later and bow or bow.
SSR-grade equipment came out of SSR-grade boxes, and SR-grade equipment came out of SR-grade boxes. It’s good to be honest.
[Rewards]
– < Dagger > Blink Knife (SSR)
– < Gauntlet > Armed Assault (SR)
I first picked up the blink knife and whistled.
‘Oh my god, a flashing dagger!’
As a weapon, it is ordinary without any special features, but the true value of this dagger is its special ability.
After throwing the dagger, it allows the user to teleport to the location of the dagger.
The cooldown is quite long at 5 turns (15 minutes), but its deceptiveness is revealed in that it gives the character a movement device.
The downside is that its own performance is low because it is not familiar with the blinking function.
It has weaker damage and lower durability than most R-class daggers. Still, the blink function alone is worth adopting.
‘But who will give this… … There are no dagger users… … .’
Should I give it to Elise, the escort of Serenade? It’s like carrying a swordsman on his back, carrying all sorts of weapons, and also using a dagger… … .
‘ah! Or is it Belldandy?’
Since Belldandy is an assassin class, it will suit her very well and be useful.
The problem is that he is not my subordinate, but a temporary guest character.
‘… Shall I think about it a little more?’
Once the dagger is thrown into the inventory, the next.
SR Grade Gauntlet Armed Assault!
In games, it is usually abbreviated as AA.
AA is not only an abbreviation for Armed Assault, but also an abbreviation for Auto-Attack.
You could say it’s an abbreviation that goes well with Armed Assault, which is a basic attack strengthening equipment.
Its performance is simple and powerful, but it adds additional fixed damage to normal attacks.
The number is not high, but fixed damage accumulates as much as normal attacks accumulate, and fighters are originally a class with a high percentage of average hits.
In addition, since it is SR grade equipment, it is relatively easy to farm and you can get several of them, so most of them have been told to develop fighters.
You could call it school uniform equipment.
There was a lot of explanation, but there was only one person who would wear it anyway.
‘Quylan you bastard! How many pieces of high-level equipment are you going to eat!’
Lucky Strike (SSR) in the right hand, Vampire General’s Boots (SSR) on the legs, Vampire General’s Muffler (SSR) as auxiliary equipment, Armed Assault (SR) in the left hand.
They are flooded with more expensive items than most of the 1st team. Even so, I still feel anxious, so I want this.
‘Is it right? My investment… … .’
It is a feeling of continuing to buy additional stocks that are going downhill and falling into the blue country, saying, ‘Someday I’ll do it!’
Anyway, since the main party members are almost equipped with equipment, the only character who can pour resources right away is Kuylan.
‘Please let’s take a beach king. … .’
Quylan is also level 50 soon.
I just want you to take the ultimate and be crowned king. please!
***
It was a little after noon when I woke up from a sigh.
I drank a glass of cold water and headed straight to the barracks. It was to throw it to Quylan while pulling out the equipment.
When he said he was going to meet Quylan, Lucas, who was attached as an escort, made a subtle expression. what why
“No, we had a little bit of training last night… .”
“Eh? yesterday? Did you go on a free exploration and train again?”
“yes. Me, Evangeline, Damian and Quylan. The four of us.”
“Why don’t you guys keep sticking together without me?”
I feel sorry for you, Prince, if things continue like this. Of course, I have no intention of joining the night training. I hate to sweat!
“It seemed like there was anguish in Quylan’s heart, so I beat him to his heart’s content.”
Lucas muttered with a faint sneer on his lips.
“I might not wake up today.”
“What did you do to the boy man… .”
So the barracks. It was true when we arrived at the penal unit’s quarters.
“Ugh… Kkeek… … .”
The large martial artist was sprawled out on his bed, groaning in pain. oh my god.
“What would you do to a weakling kid!”
“If the body is tired, the anguish of the mind will fly away. Quylan will be grateful to me for making my body suffer so that I have no time to worry.”
Lucas sighed shamelessly. You must be good at talking like a macho on this side!
“Ah, Your Highness the Prince.”
At that time, a thin man with a limp came out of the inn.
It had the same red hair color as Kuylan and the same braided hair style. Was it Kuylan’s older brother?
“Uh, so the name… .”
“I say Kure, Your Highness.”
Kureha greeted with a smile and glanced at Quylan.
“My younger brother trained all night last night at the gymnasium… I’ve been doing this and I’m still in pain. I’m sorry, but it looks like that all day… … .”
“Um, I can’t help it. Then can you pass this to me instead?”
I handed Kureha the gauntlet I pulled out this morning.
“It’s a new gauntlet, but tell me you’ll wear Lucky Strike on your right hand and wear this on your left hand.”
“I understand, Your Highness… Then what about the rest?”
Of course, the gauntlets are a pair of left and right. Quylan is wearing the left and right equipment differently, so one is left.
“Tell me to keep a spare like Lucky Strike. If necessary, you will have to replace it.”
“All right.”
Kureha, who carefully placed the equipment on the table, asked me with a smile.
“How come you walked such a long way, would you like to go for a meal?”
After that, I looked inside the inn and saw a mountain of food being cooked… … .
A smell similar to that of when I visited my grandmother’s house for the holidays crossed my nose.
No, what are you making so much from lunch? I think my hands are bigger.
“You have to eat well so you can take care of the city administration, right? Ugh, you’re so dry.”
“You said I was skinny?”
“yes. It’s only bones and skin like this… … .”
I was a little moved (?) by Kureha’s words!
A few days ago, even at the hot spring, my body was full of oil! Even when I was broadcasting, if I ate a meal with the cam on, the viewers just craved to go on a diet! How dare you say I’m skinny!
Then, Kureha suddenly waved her hand in surprise.
“Sorry. Everyone younger than me is like my younger brother… … I was trying to take care of it without even knowing.”
He was treated as a son (?) by Damian, but he is treated as a younger brother by this friend.
It wasn’t too bad for me, who had no siblings on Earth.
I waved my hand and said it was okay, then looked back at Lucas and nodded.
“Then, shall we go get a treat for lunch?”
Lucas nodded vigorously… … Weren’t you just hungry?
***
Cuilan stretched out to rest, but it wasn’t too noisy, so he moved to the common kitchen right next to the hostel.
“omg?!”
“Your Highness the Prince?!”
The other soldiers passing by were shocked to see me, but waved at me calmly. You guys also eat and work.
“eat a lot. It is a traditional dish of our tribe.”
Kureha has been constantly bringing food. It was a fairly exotic, nomadic-style dish. Mongolian style on Earth?
It’s a sheep that makes you want to have a party if anyone sees it, but surprisingly, it is said that it feeds its younger brother like this on a daily basis.
“Isn’t my brother a little short and skinny? I fed them carefully.”
“Small and skinny… ? Quylan… … ?”
I wanted to say something nonsense, but I let it go. All the people on the front lines here have a screw loose somewhere. haha.
Lucas ate well. He said he practiced yesterday, so he must have been quite hungry.
As we talked about this and that while eating, what happened during the free exploration yesterday also came out.
“Okay, that kind of thing… .”
After hearing what happened with the wolf king Lunared, Kureha nodded with a stiff face.
The story that the werewolf monster might be the ancestor of the brothers Kuylan and Kureha.
I was going to hide it, but since Kureha’s friend was no different from the person involved, I just let it go.
“Quylando… I found out.”
For some reason, Kureha already knew.
“I guess you knew?”
“… yes.”
Kureha smiled bitterly and looked down at her right arm.
“That blood is a curse passed down through our clan.”
“curse… ?”
“I was hiding it from my younger brother. I don’t know when or how to inform you. But this is how I found out.”
Kureha, who had stopped serving and sat down at the table, opened her mouth.
“majesty. Do you know how the different races are living after the countries of the different races collapsed?”
I trembled and set the tableware down.
100 years ago, the different races and humans fought a war, and humans won.
And this race became the slaves of humans. That’s all I know.
4 different races. Dwarf. Elf. Mermaid. and the Werebeast.
Kureha explained how each of them had become.
“The dwarfs chose the path of merging into human society. Because their skills were extremely useful. Thanks to active exchanges and technology sharing, the dwarfs are still treated well even after the country was destroyed.”
Why did the blacksmiths start talking as soon as Kelly Bey entered the forge? Was there any reason for this?
“The fairies are still maintaining the country, but they are dying while confined to the autonomous district.”
The faces of the Shadow Unit, who were conscripted from the Elven Autonomous District and used as consumable soldiers, came to mind.
It seems that they are also having a hard time waking up.
“The mermaids… ran away over the eastern sea. Find a new home where they can live.”
Mermaids who can live in the sea, not on land, gave up and left this continent.
All that is left is the descendants of mixed blood between them and humans.
Serenade’s blue hair mixed with mermaid’s blood flashed through my mind. I miss you a little bit.
“Lastly, our prisoners originally lived in tribal units. Although they are tied together as one species called beastmen, each tribe has different gods and inherited blood.”
It was like that in the game too. There were lions, bears, tigers, and they were very diverse.
At that time, I thought that some of the game development staff would have a suspicious taste for furry, but that wasn’t the case, this world was originally like this.
“After losing the war, some tribes were completely subdued or destroyed. However, our Dandylang (丹楓狼) tribe did not suffer much damage in the war and were able to preserve their power.”
Kureha spoke calmly.
“My tribe’s home was on the edge of the frontier, so no other human country dared to invade us. That’s how our tribe was able to live peacefully in its own way.”
“But how come… Did you become a bandit and wander?”
It may be a painful question, but I felt I had to ask, so I asked. Then, the bitter smile on Kureha’s lips grew thicker.
“Over the past 100 years, the Everblack Empire has constantly expanded its territory. And finally the frontier reached our tribal lands.”
I swallowed dry saliva.
The fucking empire! The father of the emperor of this bastard! You are like the root of all evil!
“So, did our country destroy your tribe?”
“… My brother and the survivors of my tribe know that. So everyone hated the Empire. Living as a bandit, I have been fighting the Imperial Army tenaciously.”
Kureha looked straight up and looked at me.
“But no.”
“then?”
“I destroyed them.”
… ?
huh?
I blinked my eyes in bewilderment at the sudden confession. what?
Kureha looked down at her right hand and sighed once more slowly.
“It was I who destroyed our tribe.”
“… .”
“I will tell you everything honestly. That way, I think you’ll trust my brother no matter what our blood is.”
Kureha, who was searching for memories to tell me, smiled at me.
“Your Highness. If you have to kill someone to save someone… … .”
I suddenly got goosebumps.
“His Highness… … How many people can you kill?”
his face suddenly
It was because it overlapped with that of a werewolf.
