The 100th Regression of the Max-Level Player - Chapter 117 (Part 1)
Chapter 117: Elf’s Reward (Part 1)
Ryu Min did not change his appearance.
He knocked out the traitors in the form of Black Scythe as is.
‘These guys are as good as dead anyway. I don’t even need to kill them.’
The elves are more cold-hearted than one might think.
Especially towards assassins targeting their princess, they show no mercy.
This was why Ryu Min didn’t hide his identity.
After all, the only traitor who would survive would be himself.
Tap, tap-
He kicked the fainted ones to check on them.
One had his wrist cut off, and the other two were unharmed.
‘They’re definitely out cold.’
After all, he had hit the back of their necks with a strength of 464.
They wouldn’t suddenly wake up and reveal Ryu Min’s identity.
Clump, clump-
As Yugrito approached, Ryu Min raised his head.
“…….”
He didn’t ask who Ryu Min was.
It was necessary to calmly assess the situation first.
Yugrito’s gaze shifted to the new knight nearby.
“Jeriph.”
“Yes!”
“Did you see what happened?”
“Yes! Four warriors from the other world suddenly attacked the prin… no, the carriage with the goods. One of them died by the wind spell, and as you can see, the three were knocked out by this person here.”
“Is the princess safe?”
“The prin… no, the goods are safe……”
“No need to hide it. It seems like this information has already been revealed.”
“Oh! Yes, sir! The princess is safe. She’s currently taking a rest inside the carriage, quite shocked.”
“So what you are saying is, this otherworldly warrior here saved the princess?”
“Yes. If this person hadn’t stepped in, the princess would have faced a grave danger.”
Hearing that, Yugrito bowed his head to Ryu Min without hesitation.
Since the knight wouldn’t lie, it was proven that the person before him was the savior.
“I am grateful to you for saving our princess. If it’s not too rude, may I know the name of our savior?”
Ryu Min thought about using a title but then decided against it.
There were no other traitors standing; thus, unlike before with the dwarf merchants, there was no need to hide his name.
“I am Black Scythe.”
“Black Scythe…”
Despite the informal tone, Yugrito didn’t mind.
Rather, he repeated the name as if to remember it and bowed again.
“Thank you once again, Black Scythe. Sorry, but could you explain the situation? I can’t understand why these otherworldly warriors targeted the princess.”
Ryu Min nodded and explained briefly.
The werewolf attack was coming to an end, and the current situation was more important.
It was an opportunity to build relations with the elf tribe.
Listening quietly, Yugrito’s eyes widened.
“Traitors? Are there traitors even among the warriors of the other world?”
“That’s right.”
“Don’t tell me they joined hands with the Archduke of Demons, Flunictos?”
‘What demons? They joined hands with an angel.’
Ryu Min glossed over it.
“I’m not sure about that, but I think it’s more complicated.”
“Aah… Then, do you wish us to capture these men for you?”
“No. They’re nothing to do with me.”
“Then may we deal with these men according to our law?”
“Suit yourself.”
Yugrito looked down at the traitors and drew his sword.
Swoosh- Swoosh- Swoosh-!
He beheaded them in three strokes, separating their heads from their bodies.
Ryu Min was surprised, and Yugrito, without being asked, explained.
“The penalty for targeting the princess is immediate execution.”
They could have interrogated them, but he mercilessly killed them instead.
‘According to the elf law, a word from an assassin’s mouth is not trustworthy.’
Elf law was indeed terrifying.
Ryu Min already knew this, though.
“Thank you so much for saving the princess, Black Scythe.”
‘Thanks again. Just give me the reward already.’
He was grateful, but if he was that grateful, he should show some sincerity, right?
He was worried about not receiving a reward, but that worry was unnecessary.
Saving the princess was like a lifelong debt of gratitude for the elves.
“Kyaaaah!”
Then, the last remaining werewolf died, concluding the situation.
“Phew, all dead…”
“Look over there. Black Scythe is talking to an elf.”
Players who had blocked the attack were now paying attention to Ryu Min talking to the elf.
“Yeah? But aren’t those corpses over there players?”
“What happened?”
“Did the elf kill them?”
“Yes, I saw it! That elf suddenly cut their heads like this with a sword!”
Watching this, Yugrito sighed softly.
“Hoo, if we stay silent, misunderstandings will only grow. Given the situation, may I explain?”
“As you wish.”
As soon as Ryu Min gave permission, Yugrito stepped forward.
“Warriors of the other world. Many of you must be curious about what happened.”
His voice reached the players’ ears through the wind spirit.
“Let me introduce myself properly. I am Yugrito, the captain of the Knights of Elsorium. The people here are not merchants but knights of Elsorium.”
As he clarified they were not merchants, the players started murmuring.
“We were not transporting goods. The merchants’ identity was merely a smokescreen to escort the princess. I apologize for deceiving you, even for a moment. I can’t explain in detail, but please understand now that I am telling the truth.”
The elves didn’t want to damage their relations with the warriors.
That’s why the captain himself came to clear up any misunderstandings.
‘Whether this is a setting made in this world or reality, I can’t say.’
Yugrito continued to speak.
“Regrettably, a group targeting our princess took advantage of the monster attack. These dead humans were those assassins. According to Black Scythe here, they were traitors.”
“Traitors?”
“Oh? The number of traitors really decreased!”
Looking at the personnel status, the number of traitors had decreased to one.
They would never think that the only remaining traitor would be Ryu Min.
“I won’t ask why there are traitors among you. Judging from your reactions, it seems you are also confused. Anyway, if not for Black Scythe, our princess might not have been safe. I use this opportunity to thank Black Scythe once again.”
‘No, stop thanking me.’
