Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 74

◈Episode 74 From the beginning (9)

It is true that half-and-half hair is easily noticeable, but the concept of straight hair is ambiguous. After a desperate performance, I applied the dye to my hair in a state of frustration.

It’s an aside that I ended up having to stop for a while because the only one who was at eye level with me was Luk Quan. Dev breathed a very relieved sigh.

“The medicine will take effect in about 30 minutes. After the coloring occurs, it will last approximately until dawn. “While I’m at it, I’m also changing my clothes.”

“But the knight…”

They had already stopped and changed into clothes to be used as disguises. In an instant, four slaves and three guards were born.

me? I never did. Dyeing is a safe option, but the disguise of a slave or a devil follower and jailer was a collapse of the devil knight character culture. Especially the latter.

“Then we will take charge of the lower part as planned.”

Anyway, even the last task I had put off was finished. We quickly moved to the end of the secret passage and reminded ourselves of our respective duties.

The four bandits, including the Inquisitor and Dev, roamed the city to find places to offer sacrifices and demon caves and deal with them. Luk Quan and I searched the mainland to kill the heads, including Vipurit.

It was a very perfect division of roles. Although we must add that we do not know the exact location of the target and how the interior of each city or castle has changed.

“It looks like you don’t have a constitution that works well with magic. “If you look at the fact that your hair color hasn’t changed yet.”

Dev seemed to want to follow here, but if he was going to follow just one person, it would be better to go with a native who knows the geography well.

So Luk-Quan, who had become attached to me, spoke quietly to me. I don’t think he’s expecting an answer from me, but I think it’s just a question he’s talking to himself.

Actually, I was also curious about this.

Seriously, why doesn’t my hair color change? As time goes by for kimchi dumplings, my hair turns reddish-brown from the roots.

“Let’s go right away.”

Anyway, she led me out of the secret passage. I didn’t even look at the map that the Finance Minister and the Guard Captain worked together to create.

As if I already had it in my head, I found the right path through the hallways.

“I worked here before the city fell, so I know some of the city’s geography.”

I didn’t ask anything in particular, but it was appropriate small talk. Do I have perfect memory again? I thought it was something like that.

“Of course, I don’t know if these damn devils changed it.”

Meanwhile, Luk-Quan easily opened the seemingly locked door and led me inside.

Sreuk. The door was locked silently and soon the sound of footsteps led into the hallway where we were.

Again and again.

I knew something was coming thanks to my detection skills, but this was my first time using this kind of evasion method.

The skill of hiding like water and then leaving the room as soon as the sound of footsteps passed was not the skill of someone who had tried it once or twice. Well, I don’t intend to take issue with that, and as long as I get help, I just want to give it a thumbs up.

“this.”

However, no matter how good a thief she was, she couldn’t calmly walk around the castle without researching patrol routes and times.

We hid in the room to avoid the servants wearing chains. Both of us have unusual physiques, so it’s Cheers to the closet that accepted it all at once.

It was definitely not Cheers who came in a few steps later than us and started organizing the sheets. Was this the room you were using?

“Who was in charge of Vipurit’s room today?”

“doesn’t exist. I told you not to send anyone anything since yesterday. “Didn’t you hear?”

“Uh uh. Really?”

Still, there was something to be gained. This is because the servants started talking as they tidied up the room.

Of course, the words were just chatter, but it was more like a lament that I will hold on today, even though my life may disappear at any moment. A voice soaked in sadness, fear, and resignation mingled with the sound of the duster.

At that point, Luk Quan and I looked at each other. It’s been a day and a half since we got together, but I think I know without words what the meaning was in that look.

Luk-Quan’s fingers spread out and slowly folded, starting from the thumb to the index and middle fingers.

“I don’t think there will be another body when I go to clean it up…”

And finally, when Soji was folded.

Shake!

“…!”

“Off—!”

We burst out of the closet and took down the servants one by one.

When a dark-colored Shaggy attacked a dark-colored man, both of them trembled as if they were going to bite them. Honestly, I feel lucky that I didn’t pass out.

If it were me, I would absolutely faint.

“Shhh. “We are not enemies.”

While I tightly covered my mouth to keep from screaming, Luk-Quan began to gently comfort the servant.

“These are the people who came to kill Vipurit and the demons and take back the castle.”

It worked quite well. The servants’ eyes widened and they silenced their voices. There was no sign of screaming anymore, so I slightly relaxed the hand covering my mouth.

“Then may I untie your hands? “Promise me you won’t scream.”

You have to get a promise there too. Two servants broke free from our grasp and were breathing weakly.

“You two…”

“We came from outside.”

I think Luk-Kwan would be better suited to this part than me.

I accepted it early and stood near the door. It was to stand guard in case someone approached while persuading them.

If you listen closely to the hallway, ignoring the sounds of conversation as much as possible, you first get the impression that it is still very quiet.

“…That’s why I want to know the location of Vipurit and where other important people stay. Or a place where something is going on.”

Meanwhile, the newspapers continued. It was about a minute later that the hesitant servants finally closed their eyes and began to speak.

The information we need to obtain first began to emerge.

“I should have brought at least one more guy here. In that case, we could have sent a messenger to inform the other side.”

Well, that’s fine. That might have been difficult because the role of messenger was so dangerous.

We were just lucky that we didn’t encounter any, but there was a high possibility that there were demons roaming around here too. The counterexample is the unidentifiable dirt that was smeared all over the road along the way.

“First of all, Vipurit is staying in the same room where Seongju stayed. “I’m not in charge of that place, so I guess all I have to do is break through the security.”

Things are turning out more smoothly than I expected. I felt a little uncomfortable about it and also had some opposing sentiments.

Roughly speaking, if the path is this easy, the boss is very difficult. ‘It’s ruined.’ It was a minor accident. Or maybe it’s the feeling of anxiety that something is preparing to hit you in the back.

But is it okay to not enter just because you’re anxious? If you leave out the heading pot theme, you will never be able to clear that dungeon.

“Move.”

“I will guide you.”

After deciding that we had gotten everything we could from the servants, we left immediately.

A little bit of goodwill to those who cooperated–a little food, at best. It was a bonus to show that I was worried that my cheeks were too thin.

“As expected, the security on the upper floors is quite tight. “Unless you climb up the wall from here on, you’re bound to run into a guard.”

Based on the information we obtained through discussion, we targeted the castle kitchen. It’s not that there wasn’t a secret passageway connected to the castle kitchen, but when I checked, it had already been closed down.

Now, there is no choice but to break through with real strength.

“What would you like to do?”

well. It’s not a game of infiltration and assassination. I never expected to be able to reach the castle kitchen with a secret technique, but…

I clenched my fist with my itchy right arm.

“Take care of your body.”

“yes?”

“From here on, I’m going alone.”

I looked at the map and I don’t know where Seongjuseong Fortress is, so the guide is no longer useful. On the other hand, I don’t think Luk’Quan will be very helpful in battle.

It seems unlikely that Vipurit’s assassination would be carried out secretly because of Luk Quan. Isn’t the cancer opponent the one who joined hands with the devil worshiper and ate the city?

They must have prepared for it, but it will turn into unrest. If so, it would be right to leave Luk Quan behind, as he is at a disadvantage in a melee.

“…All right.”

Fortunately, Luk-Quan was neither stubborn nor the type of person who thought they had to be together. She instantly melted into darkness.

Now it was my time.

The dumplings are on a mission within the city anyway, so they won’t avoid it just because there’s a commotion in the castle.

* * *

“It looks like Nari has finally figured it out.”

The torches burning all over the castle are perfect for announcing an incident. Deathbringer, who was approaching the slave pen, clicked his tongue.

“It looks like you’ve found Vipurit.”

“I think I just knocked it over before I could find it…”

“What did you just say?”

“Hurry up and change your clothes. “There is no need to pretend to be a slave anymore.”

“…Sure.”

He kicked out Wall Changho with words and immediately clung to the slave pen.

“You…?”

“Wait a moment. “Because I came to save you.”

By the way, I managed to find out the location by pretending to be an escaping slave and the guard who caught him, and I managed to earn time by blowing sleeping pill bombs at those who stood guard.

There is no time to waste time idling. I didn’t know when the sleeping pills would take effect.

“You came to save us?”

“It’s impossible to save everyone right now.”

Even for those who were good at infiltration, it was difficult to move quietly to avoid the zombies roaming around the city. It would be absolutely impossible to add more people here.

He began his explanation by clarifying the point. Fortunately, among those captured as slaves, there was someone who could be considered a leader, so the conversation eased.

“I wanted to ask you a favor…”

“Don’t worry. “I will do everything I can to help drive out these damn demons!”

“great. Then, we need someone to switch positions with this person to give directions…”

“I’ll do it.”

Deathbringer glanced at the person who volunteered to be the leader. He didn’t even have time to shave, so he had mud caked on his beard and curly hair.

I don’t think it would be difficult to follow since he’s a typical person from the Yabad region. As evidence, among those wearing slave clothes, the one with the closest physique was already preparing a disguise. If you just put on a beard, it won’t be noticeable.

“Okay, that guy will pretend to be you. “Please also cooperate with those around you.”

“Do not worry.”

“Did you say earlier that you were going to burn the ritual site?”

Clap.

Deathbringer pushed open the cage door.

“So?”

“There is a bigger problem than that.”

“What is it?”

“They summoned a dragon. Not only that. There’s some kind of additional ritual going on in the castle. “I heard it was a spell that awakens a certain great evil.”

The lock in his hand fell to the floor.

“yes?”

* * *

“Enemy— gasp!”

Noisily but quietly.

I moved forward slowly, killing everyone in the hallway. It was less than 30 minutes later that the hallway where the castle kitchen was located became my last route.

“Get your weapons! “It’s the enemy!”

It’s already late. I grabbed the guy standing guard in front of the castle kitchen by his neck and crushed him.

There seems to be an uproar as the body is slowly discovered, but that can’t be helped. All I can do is pray that the surveillance over the city will loosen as attention is drawn to me.

“Vipurit, please evacuate immediately─.”

My feet flew straight across the hallway and in an instant I pinned one of them to the wall.

When the magically charged foot hit him directly, his back was bent and he was thrown against the wall, his bones and internal organs were crushed, his skin burst, and some blood spilled.

But it’s cruel, and there are still three more left. My hand threw away the approaching sword and grabbed its neck. The neck bone, broken with a crunching sound, turned the body into a huge piece of meat or a weapon.

Pow!

As the body with the broken neck tore through the air, the two men were thrown out helplessly. The next thing I did was to plunge my knife into the throats of the two fallen guys.

Quang!

Before help arrived, the door to the castle kitchen opened. And….

“Oh my.”

match. match. match. A burst of applause flowed out of the darkness. An ominous feeling grabbed hold of my ankles.

“It was an earlier visit than I expected. “I just heard the news that a sacrifice might come here.”

I trusted that intuition so much that I tried to take my foot off the ground right away.

Regardless of whether the cancer traitor had already figured it out or something, the other party was already aware of my intrusion a long time ago. Even worse, instead of running away, he acted like he normally did and waited for me to come.

That was never good news.

“But it was completed.”

But it seems it’s already too late. From under your feet to that hallway. Light began to flow across the walls of the castle, red and red and threatening to degenerate into ink.

It was similar to the sewer days.

“It’s time to stop running around, Gretchen.”

Damn, I’ve been through this twice. Is it any consolation that the chain doesn’t pop out this time? huh?

“You did this to me, but it doesn’t mean I can’t swallow the bowl, does it?”

What is comfort? Even if it was only the second time that my movements were restricted, I felt bad.

What’s more, back then there was a clear material called a chain, but now I can’t see anything, but aren’t I being bound? It was very unpleasant.

“When I wake up…”

I shook my head and fell to my knees.

“I’ll take care of you first.”

Even though I didn’t lower my eyelids, pitch black covered my vision as if it were dripping paint.

‘You’re doing something boring.’

“Curse!”

Suddenly,

I faintly heard the sound of something breaking. It was dark.
