Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 106

◈Episode 106 (8)

I barely twisted my body to avoid Berserk’s invitation.

I can only praise Dev once again for his support, as he led me out of the way and said something important came to mind. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t want to go there, but whatever.

Oh, I am also grateful to the temple people who faithfully carried out my request to never let anyone in. Thanks to this, I was able to avoid Berserk by staying in the temple.

“There are so many ways to insult death in the world, like stoning a corpse.”

And just like that, a day passed.

“They are the ones selling others to the devil. Even if death is insulted, it is not worth it.”

“Who said what?”

Before explaining the situation where the body is being stoned, let me explain something else first.

The people of Pa Enoch watched for any signs of further invasion for a day. And as soon as it became apparent that the possibility was low, they followed the manual they had established over a long period of time.

While wary of invasion, they hastily restored the clumsily repaired walls one by one and began rebuilding the most important buildings in the city center first.

In addition, the temple officially announced the existence of traitors scattered throughout the temple.

This may be because the battle was almost over and the traitors had been dealt with, so they decided that revealing their existence would not cause chaos.

Naturally, many people did not believe it at first. This is because as many as three fighters who were among the top ten in terms of popularity, let alone upper-middle-level fighters, were involved.

But this land is somewhere. It’s the front line.

Given that there is evidence, how can we defend to the end those who have been in cahoots with the enemy on the front line instead of anywhere else?

As much as they believed, their anger doubled and the result was that they pelted the corpse with stones. It was a sign that they could not kill those who were already dead again, so they would not even send their corpses away.

Of course, from the perspective of modern people, it was a very barbaric act… but the worldview and level of development of human rights are different, so we had no choice but to endure it.

Being stoned like that was the only treatment that was better. The treatment of King Mu, who had reigned at the top for over five years as the number one figure, was even worse.

The man was now in a state of suicide by sticking the remaining flesh into a spear after being dismembered. Without fail, I get pelted with stones.

“…I don’t know what’s going on with Kankan.”

Dev, who did not participate in the scene but was looking down from the castle, whispered quietly. I think he was conscious of the fact that the two were friends.

“I saw him throwing at the forefront. “Didn’t you see it?”

“…?”

“…?”

Even he immediately changed into astonishment at the Inquisitor’s words.

I’m not sure if it was a shock that I found out later than the Inquisitor or if it was a shock that Kankan was throwing stones.

Maybe it’s both? I’m also surprised by both points.

“Shouldn’t the lord of the castle also hang himself?”

“If we hang on now, what are we going to do with the handover? “It is not too late to do this after you are sure that the devil will not attack.”

“I’m not even sure if I should hang myself in the first place. “It’s not like the lord of the castle was in cahoots with the devil.”

“But some of the residents died.”

“King Mu killed him.”

Meanwhile, behind us, high-ranking officials gathered and continued to discuss Seongju’s criminal activities.

Roughly speaking, they were the bishops of the diocese, commanders who led the battle on behalf of the castle lord, and other high-ranking figures. The Archmage is also there as the Great Sage of the Magic Tower.

“You should be stripped of your status.”

“Isn’t that too hasty to say? “We need to check immediately whether there is a candidate to succeed the lord of the castle.”

“Then let’s leave it alone? “At least we should appoint a representative.”

“Who are you going to appoint as your deputy? “What if the devil comes in while we’re deciding that?”

“Will the devil attack even if I mention maintaining the status quo?”

Ah, we…we were brought in because we were very active in the battle and each of us had a reason to be brought in.

I’m going to testify against the Great Evil, Dev is going to check on the people he killed, and the Inquisitor is a hero. Roughly those reasons.

Now that it’s all over, I’m just sitting back and listening to the chatter.

“I don’t know anything else, but it’s not as bad as believing in the devil.”

“Ah, Great Sage.”

At that time, the Archmage, who was watching most of the city people take care of themselves, quietly spoke.

“I agree with the opinion that the devil will not attack in the near future. But no one knows if that’s true. “We must never neglect our vigilance.”

The Archmage also said that the devil’s intentions should be questioned.

“The being conveyed its will to ‘maintain the status quo’ through the devil knight. However, no one makes suggestions that only benefit others. “Even more so if it’s a devil.”

“if?”

“What we need to see here is that sloth induced humans to betray even though they were not contractors. In addition, the trick was to avoid the temple’s gaze.”

“…It’s hard to notice even if the same thing happens over and over again.”

“That’s right. In that sense, maintaining the status quo is not necessarily a good thing for this city.”

Stagnant water rots. The result is this betrayal.

Of course, I changed the water for this incident… but is there really no next time? After this moment passes, the water will accumulate again.

“Demons are immortal beings. It’s not a very long time for someone like that to invest 10 to 20 years in this city. So, no matter who the castle owner is or what they do, crackdown on this matter must proceed. “Forever, as long as we stand face to face with that devil.”

It was that point that the Archmage pointed out. She repeatedly warned about the Great Devil’s tricks, saying that greater surveillance must be conducted in the future to prevent the corruption of fighters.

Fortunately, none of those listening missed what he said.

“Then shouldn’t we change the castle lord even more?”

“No matter what, the battle is over now…”

“At least there is stability…”

However, this did not determine the severity of the castle lord’s punishment.

“I’m pissed.”

Dev, who was looking at the aspects of the punishment being discussed, expressed his dissatisfaction. This was something I also acknowledged.

I am relieved to be punished, but if you ask me if those are really the right punishments, I also tilt my head.

However, when a criminal has the ability to save many people, is it right to severely punish him or is it right to withhold punishment or sentence to save more people? Such topics are always difficult.

“He deserves to die.”

“Then kill him.”

I leaned against the wall and thought quietly. Dev looked up at me. The Inquisitor was like that too.

“Ah, demon knight. “That’s…”

“And take responsibility.”

“…!”

“Pay for what you did.”

Gans, a thief, begins by assassinating a nobleman who lives well despite killing his friend. In other words, their trigger is a wicked person who has not been judged.

So, if Dev wants to kill Seongju, I think he can do so. Throughout the story, the thief character is portrayed as a representative of the weak and someone who takes revenge on their behalf.

“If the city that lost its head falls and the front line is destroyed, then accept that it is your responsibility whether you live or die in the process.”

But actually, do I really sympathize with Gans? I am not a person who supports private sanctions. I understand, but I don’t think that’s right.

“If you understand, raise your sword. Take up your sword and prove your courage.”

But I won’t stop you either. What right do I have to stop you? In the end, it’s a difference in values.

Plus, the concept itself is that it doesn’t care about others getting revenge or what they do. If Dev wants to engage in a war of destruction with the Inquisitor, let him go even if it makes him cry.

“But if you’re not confident, put it in.”

Well, personally I hope you don’t do that. Meat dumplings.

If there is a battle of destruction with the Inquisitor, you will be left out of this party… If that happens, who will cover my concept from now on?

“….”

I left the discussion with a confused face. Since the place has been prepared in the castle, you don’t have a place to go when you leave.

Anyway, the accommodation is in the temple.

Rustle.

Of course, I don’t go straight to the accommodation haha!

I stepped into the training ground. As there is an arena, many warriors come to visit the temple, so it is a place originally prepared for this purpose.

“after.”

If you use the skill too much, it will be damaged, so you should only train lightly.

This time, I found that it was very difficult to shoot the magic spear when the number of enemies increased too much. The RBI is slightly off as well.

There’s no way the enemies will always be big, so I’d like to get used to that.

puck.

I kicked up a rock with my foot.

The stone floating in the air was shattered by the magic spear. It was not broken evenly; some were small and some were large. This is because the magic spear pierced the edge of the stone, not the center.

Is it a problem with body vision? Are my reflexes at their best?

I furrowed my eyebrows and kicked up another rock. I think it’s better than before, but I’m not satisfied.

“The reason it keeps missing is because it loses control and the edge of the window shakes.”

How many more hours did I have to try?

Someone jumped out of the darkness. He approached me gently while making some sort of noise, so it might not be sudden.

“It seems like you have a lot of magic power, so why not say nothing and just focus on the control part? “If you know how to manage horsepower in detail, you will be able to reduce not only accuracy but also consumption.”

“…you guy.”

No, the temple people wouldn’t have been able to come in. How did you get in? Did you climb over the wall?

Was that the reason it went slightly off track? Is it possible to further control the skill that was activated in the first place? Wasn’t it only possible to print?

While I was surprised by my newfound knowledge, I grabbed my sword and calmed myself as best as I could.

Slowly, I began to feel skeptical about the nature of my concept, but in fact, I had heard about it from the beginning. Inomu’s pride didn’t even like receiving advice.

“It was just a recommendation. “Don’t criticize me too much.”

If you think about the tone, it’s probably Weapon Master, not Berserk, right?

Since there is no difference in appearance, you have to judge by tone of voice and facial expression. The only consolation is that they are uniquely different and easy to distinguish.

“I heard it from my younger brother. “I hope you’ll join me on the journey.”

But when did you finish talking with the Archmage?

“I heard the purpose is to hunt demons. Is that right?”

I thought for a moment about whether I should answer this or not, then frowned.

“okay.”

At the same time, he created a magic spear in his hand.

“You are part of that journey too, right?”

“This is a temporary companionship.”

“is it so. Together.”

So, don’t shoot it right away, but pay attention to control. But how do you control it?

As for output, I just had to adjust the intensity like pouring water from a bottle of water. But I have no idea what to do with the guy who has already left my hands.

The horsepower control has been taken out, so I can no longer receive corrections for that. I didn’t even feel it well after taking the picture.

“When expressing magical power externally, it is important to concentrate it. Because magic has the property of dispersing into the atmosphere.”

“…you.”

“I’m not talking to you, by the way. “I’m reviewing.”

…Cheonsanga? Is it that the social skills that should have been present in Berserk have been lost here?

“Wizards can easily control things through formulas and spells, but warriors like us are different. “You have to do it solely with instinct and mental power.”

He said he would review it himself, so what would he say to that? Although it is blindfolded, it is an excuse that has no choice but to accept the concept.

I quickly accepted her consideration. Of course, on the outside, he sharpened his teeth as if his pride was hurt.

“There are no shortcuts to this. This is also the reason why there are no warriors who can control magical power at a visible level. It is rare to have the level of control to concentrate magical power to the point where it is visible, and there are few people who possess that level of magical power. “It seems like you meet both requirements.”

But I wondered why magical power users were so hard to spot, and I wonder if this was the reason. Seeing magical power was rather unusual, wasn’t it?

“But just because there are no shortcuts doesn’t mean there are no ways. While wizards start accumulating magic power from a single point on the outside, warriors build magic power from within. So, take that into consideration…”

Taking that into consideration?

“Do you think this journey will be successful?”

Did you know that one way to irritate people is to interrupt them mid-sentence? Ahhh!!

It also went beyond theory and I quit when the right method came out! It’s completely blatant!

“…It’s none of my business.”

I sent out the window I had nervously created. Then he created the next window.

I haven’t listened to it all, but I have a taste for fantasy works. I won’t desperately cling to hints.

“I’m just curious. “I need to know whether I can entrust my younger brother to you or not.”

Earlier, wizards built up their magic power from outside. Warriors build magical power from within. What is the difference between outside and inside?

…hmm. Surface area?

“If you’re negative, I won’t find a reason to join you on this journey.”

If you start from a single point on the outside, you will accumulate magic power in all directions, but if you start from the inside, won’t you worry about the parts that touch your skin or weapons? is not it? Are you most concerned about the part you touch directly?

Or is it that magic feels like inflating a sphere and this feels like coating it…?

Is this correct?

“I said it was none of my business.”

Oh, I don’t know. After all, practice is different from theory.

Without hesitation, I threw the second magic spear. The magic spear sent without a target reaches a farther distance than before and then scatters.

“Why is it none of your business?”

“It doesn’t matter whether you and your brother come on this journey or not, whether this journey fails or succeeds, as long as you can kill the demon.”

I looked back at the Weapon Master as if replacing him. Her face is stiff, unlike before, when it had a friendly smile on it.

I think it’s probably because of my life-threatening expression…

but for now, I’m satisfied. Recruiting them to the party was now out of my hands, so the concept had to be maintained well.

“So get out. “There is no need for a coward who will only get in the way.”

Ah, shall we say that the temper that had subsided due to the incident in the Yabad region has been resurrected due to the Great Devil? It wasn’t me who did it, it was the great devil who did it.

* * *

The talented Nordan warrior saw the person leaving with a distorted face. I heard the general story from the Archmage, but it’s more difficult than I thought.

“A good Nordan warrior believes in himself and goes forward to achieve his goal instead of predicting success or failure.”

But it’s not bad. I may not have an objectively good personality, but isn’t the goal of the journey the goal? In these matters, it is better to be a person who is not round but has perseverance than a person who is weak but has no corners.

Just like the child who introduced himself as a warrior and clearly showed his honesty while lightly mixing words.

“I thought the group got a passing score earlier.”

Is it just that my personality is different? Everyone has the power to understand those personalities. Not only the man walking down the street now, but also others.

It is clear that even thieves, who were considered weak, know how to ‘hunt’. The aspects of this group are enough to make them colleagues in terms of military power.

“hmm.”

It’s not just this. Considering the wisdom shown by the Archmage and the wit shown by his thief friend in just a few words, he may be able to handle Berserk’s personality.

They seemed to be used to controlling so-called idiots who couldn’t communicate.

Moreover, I also liked the purpose of the journey. There is no great regret for the devil, but for Berserk, it is a car that needs a fight that can push it to its limits.

In that respect, a good journey where one’s life comes and goes will be better than years spent wandering aimlessly in search of the strong. You can also gain honor by saving the world.

“If this happens, I won’t be able to give up even more.”

However, what most decidedly stimulated her was not the things mentioned above. No, it was slightly related to what I said earlier.

“…I can’t miss out on someone who can beat Berserk.”

In fact, even if everyone in this group was weak and the journey had no meaning, she would have considered accompanying him as long as there was a demon knight.

After all, that man was the first person to inflict the humiliation of defeat on Berserk.

“under.”

She thought about the demon knight who immediately improved after giving her a little hint.

He has a lot of magical power, but as long as he has that kind of talent, Berserk will never be able to defeat the knight. This is true even if the engineer studied on his own instead of receiving formal education and faced the wall of bad habits and lack of theory.

“If you’re next to a genius, you’ll stop being so forceful.”

Yes, if Berserk just trusts her instincts like she does now and continues to use force, she will never be able to defeat that knight.

“…It’s really time to stop.”

Even if you are a fanatic, if it lasts for a long time, you will end up just being an unsightly person. So, the only way to make him come to his senses is to prescribe a lethal drug.

“Is the story over?”

At that moment, the wise man who gave her a proposal through Berserk and in person approached her.

Since the presence was already recognized, the Norda warrior stood up at the right time.

“yes.”

If it was a decision, I actually made it when I received the offer. The reason I delayed answering was because I just wanted to check the man’s personality in detail.

“Then what is the answer to the proposal?”

There is no longer any need to delay answering now that I am sure that this man is not the kind of person who can run away from a crisis.

As long as there is blood and struggle in Berserk, there is no way I would be opposed to this journey.

“If it’s okay with you, I’d like to join you.”

So she willingly decided to join this journey.
