Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 62
◈Episode 62: If there is a God (5)
Despite the seriousness of the situation, the situation improved in two and a half days.
Actually, I think yesterday was enough, but the wind hand asked me to go and see how things went for one more day.
As a concept, I would have wanted to kill the demons on another island right away, but unfortunately, I didn’t know how to drive a ship. The wind hand who could operate the ship was in the opposite position to me.
However, the situation is so bad that it is difficult to find a captain or crew member other than Baramson.
I had no choice but to work hard one day and spend the rest of the day in a half-phase. It was a very satisfying thing for the main body.
Since there was almost nothing to do from the third day, I was completely tired. Haha.
“It looks like all the zombies have been killed. However, just in case, areas where zombies have appeared have been quarantined, and those who have been bitten but have not yet shown symptoms are gagged and monitored.”
The people who were in charge of the situation, communicating with people all over the place, had bright faces after hearing the report.
After all, if we succeed in defending ourselves against the huge ordeal that is the zombie outbreak, some people will inevitably be happy. Even if the eyes were dark with exhaustion and the limbs were sagging under the weight of fatigue.
“The captured pirates are currently being interrogated… Thanks to that adventurer, we learned a few things. Oh, we also found a few hidden spies. “It’s him.”
“…It feels really strange to be called that person.”
Meanwhile, this was the first time I had heard of what Dev had done. I wondered why they were going separately, but it turned out that they were helping in investigating information and hunting down enemies. Great meat dumplings.
“According to the information I found out, it is said that devil worshipers and Vipurit joined hands.”
The person reporting kept glancing at Dev, but when he got to the proper report, his expression became serious.
“They say that the things that spread zombies on the island and the things that brought the devil were the products of devil worshipers who joined forces with Vipurit.”
“that!”
“That crazy dog!”
As the reporter continued, the faces of the attendees also took on that color.
“Furthermore… it appears that Montata Island has become a very, very dire situation as a result.”
“…The news from those who were going to Montata to check on the situation was completely cut off. “It is likely that this is the reason.”
“I guess… I guess so.”
Seongju, who was the only one who kept his expression, made a hand gesture.
“Have you heard any news about them?”
“Not yet about him… I did say that I saw an outlaw in Ah Ayu Hin.”
“is it. Well, the obsession with survival was stronger than anyone else’s. good. Other than that… what is Montata’s current situation? Is Ayu Hin still holding on? “What city has Vipurit occupied?”
“I don’t know what happened to Ayu Hin. And the place occupied by Vipurit… Many of the city’s humans have become zombies, and the survivors are said to have been captured and enslaved by pirates or sacrificed.”
“and?”
“The castle is full of executives of the Vipurit gang and people presumed to be devil worshipers… They summon devils or perform certain rituals through sacrificed villagers.”
The reporter added one sentence to that statement.
“It appears that the demon used to attack Jakrati was also summoned using it.”
The conference hall instantly turned into an active volcano.
“You bastards!”
“You’re not even human! “How can you bring the devil into this land while remembering what happened 40 years ago?”
“I wouldn’t mind cutting off his limbs and beheading him for a hundred years!”
People who don’t know what happened 40 years ago feel left out now… but
I narrowed my eyes. Since I have no one to ask and am in no position to ask, I have no choice but to piece together the clues given. Still, I’m glad I wasn’t that bad.
“It should be so. “The devils on this earth were evil things whose traces could not be seen.”
“We must kill him immediately!”
“Don’t say obvious things as if they are great opinions. And here you go. “Have you heard their purpose?”
“That’s…”
“Why do you say it’s island domination?”
“…yes.”
“Did you join hands with the devil just to take over a piece of land? “How far are you going to fall?”
Seongju frowned. The long hair was combed back by a hand comb and held tightly in place by a hand that held it tightly.
The black eyes seem to be filled with pitch black flame.
“you.”
At that time, Seongju looked at me without being able to control his anger.
He was the one who had called me to this meeting, even though I was not an official, and his energy was unusual, so I strained my eyes as if to fight back.
“I heard that if possible, we will leave for Montata Island today. “They say we will advance one by one, starting from Garorimryang.”
Montata Island is an island controlled by Vipurit’s gang, and Garorimryang is an area that must be penetrated to receive support from other cities….
Yes. It will probably be as Seongju said. Because I haven’t heard that the plan has changed.
And if possible, it is right to leave today. Baramson said right before the meeting that he would let us leave as soon as we heard that the city situation was okay.
“Is it true that the number of people who set out is the same as the number who arrived here?”
Separately, this is not my responsibility, so you may ask that… Please ask Baramson, not me…
“I only took three days’ worth of food. Are you really okay with that? If you need anything, please feel free to tell me without thinking about this situation. “I will give you the maximum support.”
You’re hot. But it’s not my responsibility.
“Discuss that with Baramson.”
For some reason, I handed over the work to Baramson, who felt restless whenever he stood in front of Seongju.
In return, Baramson looked at me like I was a traitor…
no, I did something wrong. Hey, you are the leader! I play the role of a troll who just charges at the leader without paying attention! But now the troll has the skills to carry it in a strange way!
“…Do you really have nothing to wish for? Since the variable of the devil has intervened, it is an additional contract related to that…”
Meanwhile, Seongju also looked at me with a mysterious expression—his words were subtle, but if he had not managed his facial expression, it would have been ridiculous.
“I’d love it if you could get me a ship right now so I can kill those damn demons.”
but? There really is nothing else than this. Bbabam.
“…You really are an amazing adventurer.”
Seongju burst out laughing.
“Then what should I give you to entrust you with one task?”
…No, I was just thinking that they are supporting me with great enthusiasm and that I am being compared to Seongju, but that wasn’t the case.
I was really debating whether to ask for a nice long sword or not, but it was a good thing I didn’t. Otherwise, I would have opened my eyes and cut my nose.
I praised my choice and looked coldly at the petty castle lord.
“It depends on what you want.”
“That’s also true.”
Seongju responded lightly to my words and took a moment to catch his breath. He inhaled and exhaled at a slow tempo, and then he held out a piece of paper.
In the middle of the paper with fold marks, there is a portrait drawn that looks quite similar to Seongju, but has a strangely different impression. Below it are engraved large letters that appear to be the name.
“Lord Seong!”
“That!”
When people saw the paper, they were excited and the Lord of Seong raised his hand. In an instant, the hall became quiet.
“The bounty on that head is 10 million gal. “If we do something like this, the amount of money will inevitably increase, and since we have joined hands with the devil, our ability to survive will also be like that of a metal sword.”
I lifted my back from the wall and walked over to the table. The unique sound of paper rustling and fluttering resonated, making the portrait more visible.
Vipurit. The text written below was like that.
“But I can’t wait any longer. So what do you need? What else can I do to make sure I get that guy’s head?”
So, does this mean you want me to kill Bipurit?
「❖ Fang targeting Jakrati
∎ Destroy the Vipurit gang’s base
∎ Eliminate demons 215 / ??
∎ Bonus: Killing Vipurit”
quest window was also updated at the same time, spurring my confidence. The lord of the castle, Pyion, decided to kill her brother who had gone too far.
“This is a separate request from the request to drive out Zakrati’s enemies from this land. So tell me. What do you wish for? “What should I risk to receive this request?”
But there’s one problem.
So you’re saying you’re offering a bounty?
I was lost in thought as I drilled Vipurit’s portrait into my brain in detail.
Write it. Just pay the bounty and I’ll call you, no questions asked! He would have shouted, but his tone is very vague now, so it is unclear whether there is a bounty or not.
If you look at the nuance, it seems like they’re asking you to tell them what you want as +a for the bounty…
But to think about it that way, it has to be the situation in this city.
How do I pay 10 million gal? Isn’t this an amount that should be paid out of private expense?
Even if there is one, I think it would be better to use it for restoration costs rather than giving it to me…
“There must be a sword maker in the city.”
hmm. Eh, I don’t know. There is no need for me to refuse something that you give to me.
Even if there is a bounty or not, they will kill you anyway. All I can do is say that it’s good if I receive it, and so be it if I don’t.
“Of course there is. Do you need a craftsman?”
I put down the paper and grabbed my inventory bag. As the bag lifted onto the table was turned upside down and shaking, I spewed out something.
“Wait a minute, that’s it!”
“…Aren’t those his scales?”
“When I return, a sword will be completed.”
I threw a few pieces of dragon scales and teeth on the table and retrieved my inventory.
If the artisan level is too low, even if you give them good materials, they will fail? That’s up to Seongju to solve. Ah, it was the Lord of Seong who told you to tell me what you want.
“…This?”
Seongju, who had yet to figure out what I had dropped, picked up the piece of scale and turned it around.
“Well, I understand. “Is there anything else?”
You will regret those words.
But it wasn’t something I would regret, so instead of adding what I wanted, I checked the conditions further.
“Your head doesn’t have to be intact.”
“…If you can convince me that it was Vipurit who died.”
“Confirmed.”
I wanted to write a contract… but I gave up with tears in my eyes because the concept was not a word I would bring up first due to my pride.
I am saving money for Gao, I will not abandon Gao for money…!
“If so, is this the end of the business you called me for?”
“That’s right…”
“Then I guess there’s no reason to stay any longer.”
“Wait a minute, is that the end of the condition?”
If it’s a condition of giving it away, it’s okay to say, ‘Wow, it’s a profit,’ but why are these people asking back?
Or are you just looking at it with suspicion first? Actually, that’s good. Conditions that are too good are more likely to lead to fraud than to the other party being a pushover.
“It’s even adding to the fact that they are holding me back.”
But I am the former. So, eat as much as you want. Instead, you will have to deal with your temper!
bang.
Deciding that I had heard everything I needed to hear, I confidently left the conference room. It wasn’t something to do in front of the owner of a castle, but no one said anything.
“…We thought about this and prepared it, so we don’t need any more support. So, let’s go and leave soon.”
“Repair for a moment─.”
“let’s go!”
“Stop holding my back!”
Baramson, who was looking at me with curiosity, quickly followed me, holding Dev. It was a very ghostly timing. If I didn’t escape now, I would have had to wait until the meeting was over!
“Ugh. Hey, are you really going to accept that request?”
“It’s none of your business.”
“shit… “I don’t even have 10 million bucks!”
“Were you planning on giving me that money instead?”
“…Hey, I’ll try to come up with 10 million gal somehow. Can’t I get it from the Lord of the castle?”
“They’re trying to give it to me in exchange for the real thing.”
Dev, did you read my mind? How can I express my feelings without making a single mistake?
“I’ll add to what I requested earlier—.”
Separately, this is a bit weird.
I pulled out the scimitar that I had been using since I picked it up and held it just below the nape of Windhand’s neck. The wind hand’s hand reflexively rose up and assumed a surrender posture.
The sharp blade slightly cut Windson’s skin, causing a drop of blood to fall.
“The direction of your dedication and sacrifice is none of my business. “But you’d better stop testing my patience by telling me what you would say to others.”
I tried to sound as gloomy and a bit annoyed as I could and thought about it.
I thought it might be a little excessive, but I thought that if it was a concept, it would be like this, so I gave up my hesitation. Above all, it was Baramson who crossed the line first.
“Keep in mind that you are not the only captain who can go to Montata.”
I slowly and quickly removed the scimitar and put it back into its scabbard. fluttering. The hem of my coat fluttered heavily in time with my movements.
“This time, Baramson Nari was wrong.”
“…I guess so.”
“Okay, let’s go quickly. “If we keep the knight waiting any longer, we will be cut down before the devil.”
“…okay.”
It was truly a long time since I had been on the field.
* * *
The Inquisitor stroked her mace as she watched the island slowly approaching from the horizon—actually, it was her ship.
The remnants of demonic energy that had not yet been purified were clearly passed down from the island.
“conceive!”
At that time, several ships started departing from the port. The ship was clearly approaching the vessel she was on.
“Raise the white flag and send a signal.”
At the captain’s command, the crew began to move busily. Signs were desperately put up all over the ship indicating that there was no intention to fight.
And finally, when their ship and the ship departing from Zakrati’s port approached, negotiations began.
“These are reinforcements dispatched to fulfill the contract with Baramson.”
It was the Archmage who spoke on behalf of everyone on the ship. What she held out was a contract written with the Wind Hand, and the Zakrati people looked a little softened when they saw the Adventurer’s Guild seal stamped below.
Although the possibility of it being a forgery could not be ruled out, the seal of the Adventurer’s Guild was worth a little bit of peace of mind.
“Are you really the Great Sage of the Magic Tower?”
However, the other person was not so gentle. A particularly sharp warning poured over the boat.
“That’s right.”
“And what about the white clothes they wore behind them? “If my eyes are not wrong, no matter how I look at it, I look like a member of the religious order.”
“…That’s also true.”
The Archmage was proud with difficulty. The next moment, the eerie sound of blades echoed across the sea. These were all sounds that rang out from Zakrati’s ship.
“What shamelessness does the religious denomination have for setting foot on this land! “Get out now!”
The pouring out hostility is sharper than a sword.
The Inquisitor clenched his fists with more intense hostility than expected. The hilt of the mace was held tightly in my hand.
“Get out now!”
“Leave this sea before I kill you!”
“It will disappear!”
But you shouldn’t pull it out. Can’t pull it out. Because she will never repeat what happened in the past.
“only once!”
So the Inquisitor put down his mace and moved forward. Although the church’s emblem was not inscribed, the atmosphere became even more sinister as they were seen shouting that they were servants of God more than anyone else.
“Please listen to my story just once!”
But she continued to speak steadfastly. It wasn’t difficult at all.
The Inquisitor was aware of what he had to redeem, but he was not a gentle person to the point of being overcome by guilt.
If that had been the case in the first place, they would not have apologized profusely or begged him to learn tolerance during their third encounter with the demon knight.
“We have nothing to tell you!”
“I know. But it only takes one time!”
He has no tact and is honest. This is a disadvantage at many times, but even so, it is an advantage at times.
“There is no need!”
“Please listen just once!”
And that moment was now.
“Give us just one chance!”
Green eyes that would not break even if broken shone brightly.
