The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 164

Episode 164: Nobility of the Night (2)

Before Sergeant Shin Young-jun enters the gate.

Ariella thought.

‘Is there a need for the main woman to follow me here?’

They say you’re learning a new skill.

Just by looking at it, it looks like it will take a long time.

Although the force felt beyond the veil is strong.

It was weaker than the steel demon ‘Mac’.

It’s not that I don’t like wasting time.

The reason she decided to become Shin Young-jun’s dependent was because of the grace he gave her…

that is, because of the food.

I also thought that it would be beneficial if I could eat delicious blood every meal without doing anything.

but.

‘If I use that time well… I think I could aim for my next title.’

She was recently promoted from baronet to baronet.

She has grown in more ways than her owner, Youngjun Shin, realizes.

She already had an overflowing desire to rise.

Once one achieved a rise in rank, it was difficult to forget the pleasure.

More than anything….

‘If you work a little harder, they’ll give you snacks.’

That’s why I suggested it to the owner.

Please allow yourself to act freely for a while.

The words to persuade the owner were simple.

‘There are a few changes that have occurred since I was promoted to baron recently.’

‘…what?’

‘The number of individuals that can be made into servants has increased… and the range of species that can be made into servants seems to have expanded slightly. hmm. For example, among the monsters I encountered recently.’

Let her tell you her plan.

Shin Young-jun was also very surprised and allowed the action.

‘What about those green-skinned pigs?’

like that.

A war between the Karstein clan and the Green Mane tribe has been decided.

* * *

An upper-class warrior in charge of managing tribe members.

Harjan had been very angry since morning.

-Crrrrr…. More than 10 warriors disappeared last night!

The cause of that anger was nothing else.

-You idiots! He must have wandered out of the patrol area and got lost again!

The warriors of the Green Mane tribe grow very quickly.

However, with the exception of a few individuals, many were less mentally mature than their physical counterparts.

In battle, those numbers are truly explosive.

They were also a race that was horribly unmanaged in normal times.

-Aren’t you doing an investigation? Harjan.

-Cruk! It’s obvious that the accident was caused by stupid people disobeying orders, so what kind of investigation is this?

-It’s highly likely, but… isn’t it strange that as many as ten warriors disappeared in one night? So far, there have been at most three people who have disappeared at once.

-The strange thing must be in their heads! Why should I care about those who are now in the stomachs of demonic beasts!

-…hmm.

Harjan seemed to think that the warriors were being hunted by demonic beasts while acting individually.

Demonic beasts continue to be released into the world, and there are so many of them.

The Green Mane tribe also became the losers of the area.

It was not possible to eliminate all the demonic beasts within the territory.

It is also true that accidents resulting from this are occurring every day.

‘But it’s strange. Wasn’t Harjan angry about this just two days ago? No matter how young the fighters are, I don’t think they’ll cause another accident in just two days.’

but.

Hakajin, an old shaman, felt something uneasy.

‘Just in case you don’t know. I guess I should investigate….’

If it’s original.

These issues are resolved through the prophecies of shamans.

but.

Now in this world, there was a being blocking the shamans’ prophecies.

‘Not long ago, we succeeded in clearing the fog.’

With the cooperation of many shamans, they succeeded in removing the obstruction from that existence.

In a large-scale invasion war that was fought not long ago.

Their tribe was defeated miserably.

It would be nice if they just lost.

The problem is that many shamans lost their lives.

Their prophecy was once again lost in the fog.

Thanks to.

The Green Mane tribe was left in a state where they could not even properly understand what was happening within their territory.

‘It’s something that can’t be helped. ‘I have no choice but to run with my feet.’

Hakajin retraced the patrol route taken by the missing warriors.

Even if they really deviated from the path arbitrarily.

If you follow the traces, you will be able to find the remains.

Hakajin began his investigation with that thought in mind.

however.

-hmm?

How many hours have passed since the investigation began?

Hakajin felt that the air around him was strange.

-I can feel an ominous energy… No way!

Hakajin approached there in a cold sweat.

The green-skinned shaman hastily places his hand on the ground.

-Spirits!

As it is a completely different world from their hometown.

The spell did not work well on soil that felt foreign.

-Share your memories of this land with me!

The earth spirits who made a contract with him.

They somehow read the memories of this land and passed them on to him.

* * *

-Kwaaaaah…!

A young warrior from the Green Mane tribe who patrolled the surrounding area.

He screams in pain.

An extremely ominous being that clings to oneself.

He was a warrior who tried to shake off it somehow.

“Hehe… I guess you’re afraid of death.”

-Krukkuk….

“Don’t worry, kid. This is not death. “Rather, you could call it a gift.”

The thing holding on to the back of its neck.

A being that looks extremely frail compared to a warrior.

but.

The power coming from that small body far surpassed that of a warrior.

at last.

The warrior’s resistance ends in futility and failure.

A small woman muttering as she puts her face to the crook of her neck.

“Is this the second life that your mother gives you…”

* * *

– Heo, heo, heo, heo…!

That’s it.

Memories of the land passed down to Hakajin by the spirit.

Hakajin looked at that memory and muttered while breaking into a cold sweat.

-It’s an absurdly powerful demon.

Even though I wasn’t there in person.

Nevertheless, an ominous magical power is clearly felt.

Although he was a skilled shaman, Hakajin.

He couldn’t understand this situation.

-It must not have been long since the invasion began in this world. How can a being of this magnitude walk the earth?

actually.

His doubts were legitimate.

The Night Nobles are a race that wields almost limitless military power.

Even though it is an example of blood relatives.

Ariella, one of its members, is also a very powerful being.

Originally, it would have been normal if I had stayed asleep for 100 more days.

but.

There were some facts that Hakajin could not know.

first.

It is said that some unknown malevolent force forcibly lifted her seal in order to suppress human power.

second.

As a result, she had to guard a bunker with a powerful spell engraved in her head.

And third.

This was the result of sending the military out to the outside world to increase the power to break free from that bondage.

She was subjugated by a group of native species. The spell that controlled

her was also lifted

by the master of the group .

When Ariela was trapped in the bunker, many of her natural abilities were limited.

Thanks to this, increasing authority has become excessively difficult and complicated.

Her army was so small and weak that it was a shame to call her the Night Noble.

But now.

There is nothing holding her back now.

A non-standard entity that would have originally been sealed for several hundred more days.

A race that is believed to have no one other than the sun who can withstand its forces.

A nobleman of the night.

began to roam the world freely.

Hakajin had a hunch.

-If we don’t respond quickly, the tribe will face a major crisis.

The good news is that

Only one day has passed since the memory of this land.

Hakajin quickly turned around.

First of all, he is a high-ranking warrior who manages a village in the area.

You must inform Harjan of this.

After that, I went to visit the Great Master and the Great Shaman.

We need to discuss as a tribe how to prepare for the great evil….

“You’re moving so fast.”

-…!

“It looks like there’s somewhere you need to go urgently, right?”

To an unintelligible voice coming from behind me.

Hakajin broke into a cold sweat.

The gaze was directed to the sky.

and coming here.

Even reading the memories of the land through spirits.

Result of taking too much time.

‘Moon…’

The moon was floating in the sky.

Night has come.

“I know you’re busy, but how about having a quick chat with your wife?”

The master of the night came to visit him.

-Those spirits!

“hmm? Are you saying it’s embarrassing to talk alone? Hehehe. “It’s cute.”

-Suppress that evil spirit!

The earth spirits appeared in response to Hakajin’s request.

however.

It was impossible for those spirits to even touch Ariella’s skin.

-Crooooooooooo!!!

-…Kultar! Even hitting pitches!

Those who appear like fog in the darkness and swing their weapons at the spirits.

Their true identity is Hakajin’s compatriot.

They were warriors of the Green Mane tribe.

There is one difference from the past.

their hometown.

Green eyes that reminded me of a green meadow.

Those eyes.

It was burning red in the dark.

-Ah ah… I can’t believe it.

“You don’t have to be too jealous.”

Humid breath felt on the back of my neck.

Hakajin trembled and closed his eyes.

“You will be joining us soon.”

The shaking didn’t last that long.

After a while.

-Glory to the master….

A shaman who hears the voices of spirits and is respected by the tribe members.

He never bowed his head except to his tribal leaders and great ancestors.

I knelt down in front of a woman from another world.

* * *

“indeed. I guess your language is like this. As expected of these pig-like creatures, their structure is really shabby. “It would be difficult for me to even speak.”

-I’m really embarrassed.

“I can’t help it. “I can’t demand a high level of language from barbarians like you.”

Knowledge dissolved in the shaman’s blood.

The fragments seeped into Ariela’s mind.

This was the moment when she completely understood the language of the green manes.

“so. “Are you sure it wasn’t through prophecy that you found me?”

-Yes. There is something blocking our eyes. Clearing away that fog was too tiring…

“Phew. “I was wondering if they had already been caught, but I’m glad they weren’t.”

Ariella breathed a sigh of relief.

“It is just as the master said.”

No joke.

Ariella was truly heartbroken.

Work to increase the military force has not yet begun.

If her presence had already been discovered, she would have had no choice but to withdraw.

“then. “Now tell me what you know.”

-What information are you talking about…?”

“Tsk. I thought they were smarter than other animals, but they are similar in that they are clueless. A place where there is someone who might be wandering around alone. These guys would have no problem even if they just disappeared. A place where dangerous powerful people are concentrated and should not be approached. Or a place like your vital spot. Anything is fine. “Do you know anything?”

The Orcs of the Green Mane tribe are born with a high sense of pride.

A race that originally does not listen to threats of any kind.

Even Sergeant Shin Young-jun’s cooking would have been close to impossible to completely subdue him.

-…There are degrees.

“hmm. “It’s not bad information at all.”

-It is an honor…

Hakajin, who had become a subordinate, did not even have the will to resist.

Absolute obedience that has nothing to do with one’s original nature.

This was one of the reasons why the Night Nobles were considered dangerous beings.

-Managing the nearby village is Harjan, a high-ranking warrior…

“I see. “What can be considered a weakness?”

-He leads a small group of warriors every night to hunt demonic beasts… I tried to stop him from doing anything dangerous, but as a warrior who reveres battle, he didn’t seem to have any intention of quitting.

Ariella found a small emotion in Hakajin’s words.

“It means I didn’t listen to your advice.”

-…yes.

“Is it because they really reverence battle?”

-…Probably not.

OK.

Emotions hidden deep within the shaman’s heart were revealed.

-They are born stupid from the beginning…! The excuse these guys, whose brains are filled with muscles, come up with to fool themselves about their stupidity is that they revere combat. Foolish people who can’t even understand the advice of wise people…!

“It seems like there’s a lot accumulated?”

-The same goes for the last battle. Even though the shamans advised him to retreat, the warrior Hara-Bal continued the battle, resulting in a disaster…! Isn’t it truly as intelligent as an insect? It wasn’t like this when the Warchief was alive.

Ariella, who witnessed that ugly emotion, smiled happily.

“As you said. What foolish people they are. So what should happen to that warrior who ignored your wise advice?”

-After experiencing something terrible, you should realize that I was right.

“Hehe… That’s a good answer.”

Let her beckon.

The green-maned warriors who became Hakajin’s descendants were listed.

“Anyone who ignores your advice will pay the price they deserve. “I will lend you these children.”

-What do you mean?

“If you’re smart, you can make that warrior regret it, right?”

-Ah! Of course!

The shaman, moved by his master’s grace, bows exaggeratedly.

And that night.

Ariella’s household included one quite powerful warrior.

Until all the villages in the area managed by that warrior fell.

It didn’t take long.
