The Blood Knight’s Villains - Chapter 6

My Villains Episode 006

3. The Elemental Mage < 1) I struggled for a long time to stop the bleeding on my shoulder due to my uncomfortable body, and then asked the Elemental Mage for help. “Hey… “Huh?” The girl raised her eyebrows as if asking what was going on. I was reluctant because he was a guy who casually cut people's throats... but seeing that angelic face made me feel a bit relieved. “Can you tie this up? It’s difficult to do it with one hand.” " ah." The girl rolled her eyes for a moment and then shook her head. "no." "...uh?" “It’s dirty. no." I was dazed for a moment at the unexpected firm refusal, but pretended to be calm and nodded. “That’s right. I can't help it.” There were other passengers and sailors, but no one seemed to be able to help me. It's not a matter of personality like anyone else, it's because everyone seems busy taking care of themselves or their colleagues' wounds or doing something else. Suddenly, a thought flashed through my head, and I opened the luggage bag that had been rolling on the floor. Indeed, among the clutter, such as short blankets and emergency food coin pouches, there was something I wanted. 'Potion!' There were not one, but four potions that glowed bright red. Even in the world of the Dark World, where magic and mysteries abound, potions are quite valuable. Until Chapter 5, it is not sold in the store, and even after that you have to pay a fairly high price for the life recovery potion. I quickly took out a bottle of potion and drank it down. — nk. It was fishy yet refreshing, bitter yet sweet—a subtle taste that could never be said to be good. However, the effect was clear, and the pain subsided significantly and the blood seemed to stop little by little. Come to think of it, I had taken the passive skill 'Blood Flowing'. It was a basic skill that increased the binding power of my blood and helped restore vitality. I don't know if it's the effect or what, but I felt the arrow stuck in the wound slowly pushing up . As he was about to open the second bottle of potion, a white hand suddenly came into his field of vision. “Did you have a potion?” Then, a small hand invaded my bag and looted two bottles of potion. “What are you doing!” I put on a devastated expression as I looked at the elemental wizard who quickly withdrew before I could stop him. The girl shrugged and said. "Yes? Did you forget I gave you the potion earlier ?” “No, it was just one bottle.” At my words, the girl narrowed her brows and shook her head. “You saved my life in an emergency. It’s a business that can’t even fill two bottles.” I took a deep breath to calm my anger. How could you compare such a guy to your angelic nephew? sorry support. He managed to calm his trembling lips and spoke in a calm tone. “Are you still in a hurry? I’ll give it to you later, so bring it.” "Nope?" “Bring it when I say good things.” “What if I don’t say nice things? What are you going to do?” “You-” said the girl, tapping her shoulder with a wand that looked like a recorder. I kept my mouth shut as I recalled the scene where the wind from the wand blew away the limbs of the pirates. As I quietly lowered my gaze and opened the lid of the last remaining potion, a small voice passed my ears. “Kuk-kuk. "...what?" "huh? what?" When I stared at her with bloody eyes, the innocent girl pointed at my wound with a calm expression and said, “It's better to spray such a wound than drink a potion. It's just common sense.” I glared at the madwoman, or girl, for a moment, then I sprayed the potion on her wound as she said. Indeed, I gained weight at a speed that was incomparable to when I drank. 'I'll pass this time.' I tended to the wound and gnashed my teeth inside. will pay you back someday really. South Harbor's navy, which controls the port and the nearby territorial waters, did not even peep until the ship docked at the pier. It was due to the abnormal situation in South Harbor. Perhaps, if it was a normal situation, it would have been absurd that pirates would appear right in front of the port in the first place. After a while, I got up and got off the ship with a kind sailor helping me. In the meantime, I heard a conversation between the captain and the dock manager. “No lockdown? What do you mean by that?” “This tsk tsk. I guess you haven't heard the news. Is it good luck or bad luck?” “Please explain a little more clearly.” “A blockade order has been placed on the port. There are pirates lurking in the reed fields outside the castle, and the sea is teeming with pirates.” “What the hell is that… “Could you please explain? you guys are locked up I mean totally fucked.” After confirming that it wasn't much different from the Dark World's scenario, I listened to it and moved on. The scenery of South Harbor felt new as if the bean pods had been peeled off through the raids of the pirates. Black smoke was rising in the distance, and the high walls were broken in places and stained with blood. The busy port was a mess with stranded merchants and soldiers following orders. On the faces of the passers-by, unconcealable anxiety, fear, and hostility toward strangers seemed to flow out. I was arrested and interrogated by the soldiers because of my armament, but thankfully the sailors who supported me and several merchants on the ship stood by and guaranteed my identity. Well, identity protection wasn't particularly grandiose. He talked about my activities of cutting pirates and rejoining them. There, a merchant seemed to be handing something to the soldiers. At first glance, it looked like a few pennies, but the effect was not bad. Do you do it this far? It seemed that the sadness that I felt as I grunted and held on to my wounds alleviated a lot. The soldiers, who made a small but extra income, let me through, saying that it didn't matter as long as it was a gang of bandits besieging the city. “I owe you.” When I slightly lowered my head, the merchant who handed the bribe shook his hand shyly. “What is your status? If it wasn't for you, everyone would have died. I'm rather sorry that I couldn't give you any compensation.” He had the impression of a cow thief because of his tanned skin, beaky eyes, and rough-growth beard, but he was a merchant with his own shame. He brushed his beard and said insinuatingly. "I'll go see the captain later. If my bastard had a conscience, he'd give me a few silver coins. You seem restless now.” “I will.” As he walked the docks, he said it was only natural for the captain to reward me. The expensive fare also includes the cost of safety. I guess I did what the captain was supposed to do. But my thoughts were a bit different. If you think about it from the captain's point of view, more than half of the crew died and were trapped in a closed port. I didn't know that I might get into a fight when I went to ask for money. Besides, thanks to the money he earned in Ireland, his pocket situation wasn't too bad. Thinking so, I moved on, but the back of me became noisy. “Get down, you magician!” “Don’t put your hand in the cloak!” Looking back at the commotion, the soldiers were aiming their spears at the Elemental Wizard. It's like heavily armed soldiers pointing their spears at a little girl and shouting. The soldiers threatened with high-pressure, high-tension voices like the American police threatening a murder suspect. I was dumbfounded. The girl seemed embarrassed, but she raised her voice with a calm face. “I am a wizard who studied at La Palais Palace!” “How can you trust the words of a magician who doesn’t even know how to say anything!” “I don’t have a card, but a letter of recommendation from my teacher” “Don’t put your hand in!” “Evil!” As the girl rummaged in her arms, a soldier hit her arm with a spear. She gritted her teeth and yelled. “How dare these guys—” As the girl put her hand into her bosom again, the soldier behind her fired a spear at her hamstrings. hooked! “ぅ!” ...was it really stabbed? A spearhead protruded from the thin leg exposed between the hem of the robe. The soldier swung the spear sideways while hanging the girl's legs, and the girl collapsed on her side, unable to even scream properly. “Conquer!” The soldiers rushed forward and threw spears at them. One soldier crushed the wand that the girl had missed. “That crazy—” The first time the girl got hit on the arm... I honestly thought it was fucking shit. However, the scene where a girl who, at best, looks like a high school student, is speared and ruthlessly lynched erases such thoughts. “Where!” “So... the girl crawled on the floor with her face down, but a soldier trampled on her arm, leaving her completely exposed to violence. The girl crouched down, covering the back of her head with one arm, then kicked her in the back and choked. I tried not to compare, but I kept thinking of my nephew, Jiwon. So I shrugged off the sailors and merchants who tried to dissuade them, and limped closer to the soldiers and shouted. "for a moment! Stop for a second!” As if not hearing my voice, the soldiers continued to throw spears. I gritted my teeth and jumped in, getting down on one knee and holding the spear with my back, shouting. "stop! Stop it!” A couple of spearheads that could not be harvested hit the shoulders and arms. It hurt terribly, but I didn't even have the heart to complain because the soldiers were glaring at me with bloody eyes. “What is this bastard!” “Isn’t it off?” When a sharp spearhead roamed in front of my nose, my shoulders shrank. I showed both hands and calmed the soldiers down. “Calm down for a moment- Oh, sorry, soldiers!” Saying so, he prostrated himself in front of the soldiers. The soldiers seemed a little taken aback when the warrior, who was said to have cut off the pirates' throats like opening fruit, fell flat on his stomach. Well, it was an action that didn't go well with Phoenix's cold impression. After examining the reaction of the startled soldiers, he pointed to the fallen girl and said, “This guy is in my group, but he made a mistake with the soldiers because he was young and didn’t know much about the world and had no manners.” This was my own way of living, and it was a know-how I learned through a long social life leading to school, military, and company. When dealing with someone who is extremely angry or agitated, lie down flat until they calm down. “I’m sorry for making you use your strength while on duty when the situation is already the same. I'd like to compensate you a little, so may I open my bag?” Originally, people have pride and face, so even when you get angry, you need a justification. When I asked in a polite manner, the soldiers, who looked aloof, made eye contact with each other and nodded. I quickly took a coin pouch out of my bag and held it up. I opened my pocket and pondered for a while, then closed my eyes and decided to spend the silver coin. I quietly counted the number of soldiers, took out five silver coins, and stood up slowly. “You have a lot of trouble at work. This isn't a big deal... Saying that, he secretly handed over the silver coin as if he were a corrupt politician. However, the soldiers took the bribe into their pockets with a dignified expression, as if they did not care about the eyes of the people around them. I looked at the brightly colored soldiers and spoke cautiously. “As you can see, I have a lot of injuries, so can I step back? I feel sorry for taking up the soldiers' time for nothing... As I slurred my words, the soldier who had been standing alone the whole time said, “I heard that magicians rarely forget a grudge once held, so is it okay if I let go?” “Well, that’s right.” Only then did I remember that the perception of wizards in the world of the Dark World was not very good. But when I was playing the game, it was just that the NPCs' lines became blunt, and there was no event like this... I shook my head and hands exaggeratedly, shaking off my thoughts. “Oh, grudge? How can you hold a grudge over what you did wrong? This guy doesn't have a case, but not to that extent. Never worry!” “…Can I trust you?” “Oh, of course. Nothing to worry about.” The soldiers pondered for a while at the rant mixed with fuss, then gave a sneaky chin gesture. "thank you. Suffer!” Quickly lowering my head, I helped the Elemental Wizard to his feet while limping. As if she hadn't fainted, the girl barely got up from her seat while staggering. However, his legs were pierced by spears, so it seemed impossible to walk alone. In the end, the girl had to move a step with a drop of blood while clinging to my arm. Fortunately, the strength of this body was close to that of a superhuman, so it didn't feel too burdensome. In addition, befitting the girl's small size, the girl was so light that she didn't feel any weight. By the time I reached the pier with my support, the girl who had been keeping her mouth shut, burst into tears and opened her mouth.
