The Blood Knight’s Villains - Chapter 21

My Villains Episode 021

6. Broken Things (2)

The lunch market was noisy and crowded. There was no time to set foot with the shouting merchants, the vendors arranging the stalls, and the servants running errands.

“There are so many people.”

“That’s right.”

Daria shrugged her shoulders and clung tightly to me to avoid the water carrier approaching from the other side.

“Ugh sorry.”

“no, that’s fine.”

Then, in a natural motion, he embraced my arm as if he were running.

The soft touch felt through the thin cloth and the scent of the woman poking his nose made my eyes dizzy.

It is often said that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body.

However, without context, I was in a state where the spirit of an office worker tired of social life dwelled in the body of a healthy blood knight. How would I react in such a situation?

First of all, Kim Seung-soo’s spirit barely regained his composure. It is thanks to the realization that Ellen is suffering and that she needs to get medicine quickly.

However, Phoenix’s body seemed to accept this situation a little differently.

“What’s wrong with Poi?”

“Nothing.”

I hurriedly moved and quickly lowered the shield I had slung over my shoulder to cover my lower abdomen.

not now No, you crazy bastard!

Looking across the sea, I chanted the national anthem in my mind and thought of my hometown.

Despite my efforts, his body didn’t listen at all. Even if you try to ignore it, all of your body’s senses are focused on your forearm and nose. The gritty touch and the dizzying scent fanned the flames burning in the belly.

It was fortunate that the streets were congested. If it wasn’t for that, Daria would have noticed my… ‘physiological changes’.

Should I avoid people, cover my thighs, or take care of Daria?

It was around that time that ferocious and even savage cheers were heard.

“Whoa!”

“Kill! Kill!”

Mr. Wow, how many people are there?

At first glance, there were hundreds of people crowding the square.

They surrounded the stage in the middle of the plaza, spattering and cursing, or waving their fists in the air.

The stage was the gallows.

And just now a group of people were being climbed onto the gallows like animals being driven. These people, wrapped in dirty cloth and entwined like oysters in a rope, were… death row inmates.

“Cursed bastards!”

“Kill! Kill!”

As the death row inmates climbed the gallows, the shouting grew louder. At first glance, the people shouting loudly, whether it was screaming or cheering, looked like fans welcoming a rock star.

I was overcome by the heat or madness of the hundreds of people.

“Ah, I said there would be a public execution today.”

“…Public Execution?”

“huh. wait for a sec.”

Daria approached a woman who was looking at the gallows with a friendly expression and asked what she was saying.

After a brief conversation, Daria returned to me and shrugged her shoulders in regret.

“They say there is only hanging today. Let’s just go.” what? Are you sorry that there is only hanging? why?

Before I could ask a question, Daria grabbed my wrist.

My eyes were fixed on the gallows as I made my way across the crowded plaza toward the granary.

Men dressed in red, not sure if they were guards or not, put nooses around the death row inmates’ necks. Then, at the same time, he kicked him in the butt and threw him off the gallows.

The gallows was far away, and the surroundings were full of noise, but at first glance it sounded like a groan.

A few were still stretched out, but most of the death row inmates struggled for a really long time. By the time Daria and I arrived in front of the granary, the condemned prisoners were drooping to their deaths.

Cheers burst out once again as if they had been waiting for it.

The corpses dangling from the ropes were also creepy, but what was even creepier was the residents laughing and chatting while watching them.

I realized it all over again.

It was a dog world.

The rations allocated to the boatgo-dong inn were one bag of oats and one bag of barley.

Daria, who was moving her steps, glanced at the sacks on my shoulder and put on an apologetic expression.

“Isn’t it heavy?”

“Um fine.”

“Tell me if you’re having a hard time. I can tidy up one too…

“It’s okay. Let’s go.”

Just in case, this wasn’t a strong male gesture. Roughly 20 kilos per bag? Of course, it weighed 40 kilos, so it was heavy, but it wasn’t too much of a burden. I wonder if this is the dignity of strength 23.

When the apologetic expression on Daria’s face did not leave, I smiled and said,

“If you’re so sorry, give me a service from time to time.”

“service?”

“uh. No matter how difficult the situation is, what kind of oatmeal porridge does your inn take three pennies for? It was so expensive that I couldn’t even eat it.”

At my words, Daria covered her mouth for a moment and giggled.

“Isn’t it ridiculously expensive? Even so, my uncle is conscientious. Don’t you know that flour is worth gold these days? The fire pit for the ball is almost closed.”

“Hmm?”

As I nodded quietly, Daria smiled slightly and held out her hand.

“Perilla leaf or Ganghwal. Right?”

uh what I’ve already arrived at the general store.

“uh? uh.”

I lowered the sack to the floor and took out a silver coin from my pocket and handed it to him.

“Ah… Sister Olga said that without them both, the galgeun would be fine.”

“Kudzu root? uh hmm i get it I’ll be back soon.”

“Ugh 99 o’. I asked Daria to buy the medicine.

It was because he was heavily armed that it was annoying to enter the small general store, and he felt uncomfortable because he had had a bit of an argument with Mr. O-Leg.

“It’s okay.”

After putting down the bag, I glanced around, and an interesting street vendor caught my attention.

Here and there, it was the appearance of putting various things on the torn leather rug.

What stood out more than the insignificant products were the three children who were holding their seats.

Girls who looked like they were 12 or 13, and boys who looked like younger siblings. Seeing that skinny and naked figure, my steps moved without realizing it.

“Did you guys make this?”

I asked in a kind tone, but what came to the children’s eyes was not joy, but wariness or fear.

“…yes. I made it.”

In response to the girl’s answer, I crouched down and looked over the products.

They were crude objects such as four-legged animals, birds, fish, and bracelets and rings made of grass and decorated with flowers.

It’s a bit out of the blue, but I like flowers. No, to be more precise, it should be said that he likes the happy face of the woman who gave him flowers.

So, when I was a college student, when flowers bloomed on the mountain behind my apartment in spring, I would pick them up and wrap them in traditional Korean paper to make a bouquet. The girlfriends who received it all loved it a lot.

Of course, in this world, a cheap bouquet would be just a cheap gift. Still, for some reason, seeing flowers seemed to make me feel better.

I pointed to the flower ring and asked the girl.

“How much is this?”

“…trinkets are five pennies and statues—two or three pennies.”

damn cheap

Thinking so, he made a surprised expression, and he hurriedly added his words.

“I used magic that I learned from my mother. It is absolutely not expensive.”

“…I didn’t say anything. Are you stabbed?” After he fell silent, I carefully examined the merchandise and picked out a few that I liked. It was a bracelet decorated with purple flowers, a ring decorated with white petals, and a sleek fish statue.

In fact, rather than because I liked it, I chose things that could be called products. To be honest, the rest of it was just a pile of trash.

“Three of these and a penny. Dill?”

“…deal?”

“Is it good?”

“Ah yes. Sure.” As I took out a coin and handed it over, the girl added a comment.

“A cherry blossom ring brings beautiful love. A bracelet made of dianthus and plantain gives you tough vitality, and a dolphin statue gives you wisdom to get along with others.”

“…Oh, is that so?”

After all, the power of words is really amazing. As the child adds explanations in a confident voice, even the poorest things look very plausible, don’t they?

I smiled and handed the two pennies to the child.

“I’ll give you a penny, so pray that the spell will be stronger.”

The girl smiled and nodded her head.

I put the things in the breastplate and stood up, but I heard a scream from behind.

“Wow!”

Looking back…

Ha. What is this 90’s drama?

At first glance, five or six men who looked like bullies were making fun of a young woman walking down the street.

“Damn it, hold still, bitch.”

“Uh-don’t do that.”

“Sniff, sniff, it smells delicious.”

“I’m afraid it’s not a pig. What’s the delicious smell? It smells delicious.”

The bullies surrounding the woman violently clasped their wrists and were talking obscenities. It was normal to grope her ass and breasts.

no crazy No matter how bad the security is, do you do that on the street?

“Stop- let me go please.”

“Hehe, where do you want me to send you?”

“I’m just going to play for a while, so why are you crying?”

The woman twisted her whole body and begged, but the bullies only laughed or got angry.

Uh, by the way- she’s crazy Daria, who is familiar with the light red hair of a woman who is being harassed

!

“Hey you bastards!”

I shouted and ran and landed a flying knee kick on the back of the biggest bully.

“Quack!”

As he rolled on the floor screaming in agony, I immediately slapped and kicked each of the two holding Daria.

“Keep

“Turn it off.”

The fat guy who had been slapped so loudly that his chin turned and passed out, and the guy who had a boot heel stuck in his belly collapsed and gasped.

I think I misregulated my power. isn’t it dead?

Thinking of that for a moment. I pulled Daria’s wrist and hid it behind her back, growling at the rest of the thugs who froze.

“Come on, you bastards.”

And then, approaching the remaining three.

“What are you, this bird!”

“This is to look back.”

What? They take out weapons such as daggers and clubs.

The appearance of pulling the butt back and holding out the weapon… It was an arch-like form that was exemplary.

I was dumbfounded and laughed.

“You guys picked first.”

Don’t these guys have eyes?

I’m not naked right now, and I’m wearing armor and even a helmet shield, so you pull out your sword?

I pulled out the pulse at once. The acquisition of firearms, or the maintenance of weapons, is the basic law of those who fight. Pulsion’s large blade glistened in the sunlight.

In addition to that, they

were visibly embarrassed when they held the original shield covered with the scales of a giant reptile in their hands.

“Wait a minute.”

Furthermore, these bastards do not need discipline or mercy.

“If you don’t want to get lost, drop your weapon.”

With a final warning, I strode towards them with my shield in front.

A tall, heavily armed warrior aiming a sword at thugs with crude weapons. It was like firing machine guns at robbers with revolvers.

“This nigimi.”

“Hey there. stop for a second.”

One stupid and smart guy ran away, and the two stupid and loyal guys spilled their weapons on the floor and showed their palms.

No one was as brave as those bullies who harass women.

“Looks like we made a little mistake… Knock!”

I swung my left hand and drove the blade of my shield into the chest of the guy who was talking about something. As he rolled backwards, another bully groped with a puzzled face.

“They say that if you throw away your weapon, you will be spared!”

“You save me.”

I spat out the words and stuck a fist with a pulse in the guy’s nose.

“Uhhh…

he couldn’t even scream properly and fell down with his nose covered.

The guy who ran away disappeared into the crowd before he knew it. I want to chase him and defeat him, but I can’t leave Daria behind.

So I put my knife in and ran to Daria.

“Daria are you okay?”

“Yes. are you okay.”

Daria was trembling with her hands together. After a quick glance, luckily there appeared to be no injuries.

“…let’s go back soon.”

Feeling apologetic, I quickly carried the grain bags on my back. And the moment she was about to take Daria’s hand and move on.

“Oh, you bastard-”

The first knee-kick knocked him down, and he was wriggling and glaring at me.

“You remembered this bastard’s face. I will kill you

sooner or later.”

Was it just a suicide attempt?

I burst into laughter as I approached him and stepped on his shin. screams that burst out.

“Quaaaaagh!”

“You should have said that under the covers, you idiot. Do you want me to kill you now?”

“Oh shit! If you kill me, Master Uvar will not let you go!”

…what is this bastard? I beg you to kill me, I beg you, I beg you.

But wait, Uvar? Where did you hear that name? Who was it?

I put my doubts aside and laughed.

“crazy. You said you wouldn’t let go anyway? Then would it be better to kill me now?”

That’s what I said, but you couldn’t kill a person in the city, and right next to the square.

I glanced around and saw that there were already crowds of onlookers.

“Po Poi. Let’s go. The guards are coming.”

Indeed, as Daria said, one side of the crowd becomes noisy.

“what’s the matter!”

“Get out of the way!”

looks like a guard

These lazy guard bastards don’t do crime prevention and are only quick at times like this.

Suddenly, I missed the patrol car that was always stuck in the alley in front of the studio. It was very reassuring.

“Kuh, I’d rather go to prison

!”

“Let’s go!”

He kicked the bullshit bullshit in the face like a soccer ball and started running with Daria.
