The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 205

Episode 205: Green Mane Tribe (1)

“You were trying to capture him alive.”

“hmm. “It wasn’t easy.”

It must have been quite a hardship.

Changsoo shakes his head.

“Monsters that can use language are rare, and even if they can, there are even fewer that are intelligent enough to communicate properly.”

“So you went to find the Green Mane tribe.”

“That’s it.”

It’s nice to have a monster that can use language, though.

There is no way that a monster capable of communication would be common.

Finding such a monster must have been difficult in itself.

Of course, it is clear where the Green Mane tribe is located.

They say they learned language to use humans as slaves.

It is natural to have intelligence sufficient to communicate.

“As I said, it was quite a challenge. The only ones who learned the language in the first place were shamans. The numbers themselves are rare compared to ordinary warriors. “Not all shamans there had learned the language.”

“That’s right. “Not all shamans would have been deployed to deal with slaves.”

“If that’s all, it’s fortunate, but these guys have such strong self-esteem…” He

clicks his tongue.

Changsu pretends to slit his own throat.

“Whether they are warriors or shamans, if they are caught, they will immediately attempt suicide before they can ask anything.”

“…Tsk.”

Although it is a story about monsters.

Still, it’s inevitable to feel a little uncomfortable.

‘Suicide.’

No matter how strong your self-esteem is.

It’s a choice that I don’t understand at all.

Monsters that are completely different from humans.

Their way of thinking and sensibility are also quite different from ours.

‘…Uncomfortable.’

The reason for this discomfort.

I have a little guess.

‘Because I am the type of person who wants to live more than anyone else.’

When you look at these guys who throw away their lives so easily.

It’s an extremely unpleasant feeling.

The thing I fear most in the world.

The act of accepting or doing something like that without thinking anything about it.

Looking at that…

you might feel an inferiority complex.

“anyway. “He is the one who went through so much trouble and finally succeeded in capturing him alive.”

“You managed to succeed.”

“hmm. “I don’t know why, but he was wandering around the outskirts alone.”

“yes? Alone?”

I couldn’t help but be a little puzzled by Changsu’s words.

Shamans are rear support positions.

In human terms, he is closer to a wizard.

‘Vanguard… Why is a shaman who should be working with warriors alone?’

no.

I’m concerned about that part too.

There is something else that worries me more than that.

I looked at Changsu with eyes full of questions.

“What on earth did you do?”

“huh? How can you say that? You won’t know it when you see it. I caught a passing shaman and somehow put a gag in his mouth before he committed suicide…” “

That’s not it. “How was it possible to move around inside the Green Mane territory?”

“uh. “What do you mean?”

It is said that they suffered damage from the war with us.

These guys form a fairly large force.

These guys have already been put through a lot of trouble inside their territory by Ariella.

If you think about it with common sense.

Nowadays, it is normal to pay great attention to internal defense of the territory.

‘Even though the Changsu’s guild is quite large… it’s not big enough to comfortably move around inside enemy lines.’

But of course, I was able to wander around the inside as I pleased.

Shamans who are sure to be valuable resources over there.

They even tried to kidnap those guys.

Moreover, if you listen to the story, it seems like it wasn’t just once or twice.

That monster was probably the one that succeeded after much trial and error.

“I think it would be difficult for our guild to do something like that.”

Well, it wouldn’t be impossible at all.

It might be possible if you take the unit’s elite troops with you.

‘Except for the fact that it’s obvious that the moment you do something like that, you’ll be discovered and a large-scale war will break out… That’s right.’

I guess so.

I can’t help but wonder.

“What did you do?”

“…Hmm? That’s what I heard. “You can say that.”

It was a natural question for me.

It seems that Changsu was not like that.

Listen to me.

It seems that only then did they realize this problem.

“Well… what should I say?”

Changsoo answers while scratching his head.

“…I guess it’s worth just wandering around more than I thought?”

“yes? no. “What kind of nonsense is that?”

“I understand it sounds strange, but that’s really it. “If it had been difficult to get around, we wouldn’t have been able to enter in the first place.”

Well, that’s true.

‘No, does this make sense?’

I didn’t sneak away alone like Ariela did.

Changsu’s group members must have moved in groups of at least a few dozen.

Hostile forces moving so openly within their territory.

They just missed it?

‘Could it be that the damage we did back then was much greater than expected?’

Anyway, that’s true.

This is an enemy who kidnaps people within their own territory.

I don’t think we did so much damage that we couldn’t deal with those enemies.

“what. Like I said, I really don’t know anything. So…”

He shrugged his shoulders.

Changsu approaches the monster and places his hand on its body.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to ask this guy for those details?”

-Kruk…!

The moment your hand touches Changsoo.

The unconscious monster’s eyes opened, breathing heavily.

-Gruck…! Wow…!! Crunch…!!!!

With his gaze full of hostility.

The guy who glares at Changsu as if he is going to kill him.

Even though he was wearing a gag, it was obvious that he was trying to spit out harsh words.

“Kahaha. what. “As you can see, he hates me to death.”

“…I guess so.”

Since he is a shaman with relatively weak physical abilities, he seems unable to break the bonds.

If he were a warrior, he would have immediately broken the chains and launched himself at Changsu.

“Anyway, it was good that we succeeded in kidnapping him. “There’s just one problem.”

“Problem?”

“this guy. “He didn’t even think about opening his mouth.”

“hmm. Aren’t you having trouble communicating? “Didn’t you say that there are many shamans who have not learned the language?”

“no. That’s definitely not the case. “The fact that we can communicate has already been confirmed.”

“…? Didn’t this guy say he didn’t want to talk? How could that be…”

“Ah. that is.”

Is this a bit of an awkward thing to talk about?

Changsu scratches his cheek.

‘…ah.’

thinking about it.

I thought it was worth it.

Because it was a kidnapping to obtain information in the first place.

Our unit is a bit of an exception.

The most efficient and common way to obtain information from a kidnapped target is.

‘It’s probably like torture.’

The result of being tortured so cruelly that it was difficult to even tell others.

I wondered if I had confirmed as much as I could say.

“When they were trying to capture him alive, he used a lot of harsh language towards us.”

“ah.”

I guess.

That didn’t seem to be the reason.

“They bring in not only their parents but also their ancestors and insult them in a flashy manner…” “

….”

“It made me wonder if it would be difficult for middle and high school students these days to swear in such a flashy manner. “He was very eloquent.”

They say that even when learning a foreign language, you first learn swearing.

I guess the same goes for monsters.

“There is something fortunate about it. I don’t know why, but this guy didn’t try to commit suicide even when the gag was removed. But that was it. No matter what I try to ask, he doesn’t answer at all…”

“Hmm.”

“The most we can do is torture, but I don’t think these self-respecting guys will spit out information about torturing. I would rather choose suicide. That’s where you came to mind. “For those of you who were active in that dungeon… I thought there might be some way.”

After saying that.

Changsu glances at Seo Soo-hyuk.

“The explanation is roughly like this. “Do you think it’s not enough to get shot?”

“…joy. Thank goodness. “We will no longer lose friendly forces.”

“haha. “You don’t give any instructions.”

anyway.

I now know why Changsu brought this monster.

“Are you trying to get some information out of this guy?”

“hmm. “It seems like you guys are curious about something too. If you’re a monster and not a human, wouldn’t you know something?”

but.

I was a little skeptical about that statement.

‘I wonder if there’s anything useful.’

I don’t know about others.

Ariela once had part of the Greenmane tribe under her control.

In the process, Ariela even learned their language.

‘If there was any useful information, I could have gotten it then.’

In the end, all the monsters that ruled like that were subdued.

I couldn’t ask anything.

Ariella also tried to get information from them in her own way.

actually.

We know where their base is located, etc.

I have already acquired general information about the Green Mane tribe.

Besides…

according to what Ariela felt at that time.

‘I mean, the level of civilization is not as high as these guys think.’

What are you asking this guy about?

How much is there to be gained?

I do think that way, though.

“Well… you have to get your money’s worth. “Let’s give it a try.”

“Be careful.”

I walked in front of him and bowed down.

“Let’s start with something easy.”

He removed the gag from his mouth and spoke.

“name.”

[email protected][email protected][email protected]?#$!?!

When I asked for his name.

A guy screaming in an unknown language.

“….”

How harshly he shouts.

My face, which was sitting close to me, was covered in its saliva.

and.

When I heard that, I….

Sigh!

“That’s a bit harsh.”

-Kruk…!

I hit the guy hard on the head once.

I gagged my mouth again.

-…master?

‘huh?’

I was wiping the monster’s saliva off my face.

A puzzled voice is heard from the shadows.

-that. I don’t know, but you probably can’t understand their language. How did you understand that it was a swear word…?

‘no. ‘I didn’t understand?’

-yes?

‘I don’t know what they’re saying, but I can tell roughly from the atmosphere that it’s an insult.’

-….

I feel a strange presence in the shadows.

Anyway.

This guy doesn’t seem to have any intention of answering meekly.

“haha. Well, you can say it’s been like this forever.”

“I couldn’t hear it in Korean.”

“He probably heard our conversation. “He doesn’t want to tell you what he wants… He’s such an arrogant guy.”

“iced coffee. “Well, I kind of get it.”

by the way.

Hmm.

“Mr. Changsu.”

“hmm?”

“Did you feed this guy something to eat on the way here?”

I wondered if there was any need to relax.

I said I would try to make up for it anyway.

There’s no harm in trying a little more.

“no. The resistance was so strong that I couldn’t even think of feeding it anything. “Why is that?”

“That’s a good thing.”

“…?”

I have strong self-esteem.

Only if the enemies get what they want.

You have the courage to not even be afraid of death?

‘I wonder how long I can do that. Let’s see.’

Just say it right.

I’ll make you more talkative than anyone else in the world.
