Chapter 15 – Brunette Ellie (1)
*
No matter how much a regressor is, there’s no way he’ll take a guy who can’t do anything on the bus.
You have to prove your worth to yourself.
‘I might have an advantage over Lina if I’m just looking for magic. Because I have good eyes.’
However, it is not until you learn magic properly that you are worried about whether you will be able to get on the bus. Because I think I’m talented too.
The problem is if you get off before you can show your talent. That’s when it hurts a bit. Still, it’s better than the old days when there was nothing.
“It’s a pretty big town.”
If you live in another world for about two years, you will be able to understand where people talk a lot.
A place that makes people feel good.
Drinking alcohol or hugging a woman. At that time, even a man with a heavy mouth becomes lighter.
Kerry started to move in search of the backwaters of her village. She moved to ask people.
“Where’s the best place to drink in town? That’s right, there’s only one best bar in town.”
Thus the distance she had arrived was visible to Kerry.
Because it was an entertainment district, there were also prostitutes mixed in, and pretty sisters seduced me with their slutty clothes.
“There’s a cool oppa. He’s handsome. That’s my style. How about it? Why don’t we hang out here today?”
“Oh, you’re really handsome? I’ll give you a lot of service when you come here.”
Resist temptation. To be honest, at other times, the girls were pretty enough to be overlooked, but Kerry needed the information now.
‘I also have the money I got from Lina… Can I stop by for a moment? No. Now is not the time for that.’
Now was the time to find out about the demon that had eroded the village as soon as possible.
That’s the pub with the most customers in town.
It’s a pretty cool spot. Even though it was daytime, it was so big that you could see the goons hanging around.
As soon as I opened the door and entered, the man who seemed to be the owner nodded and greeted me. Then he said a little to himself.
“Hmm. Are you a foreigner? Quite a lot of outsiders are coming in these days.”
It seems to have come to the right place. That old man would be quick to know the situation in the village. I ordered a drink while sitting down.
“Give me a glass of the best drink here.”
Calculation politely held out a gold coin. The host started moving quickly, as if he had smelled the money.
“I’ll prepare it right away, sir.”
It was enough to make him look like a skilled adventurer with the plausible equipment he had stolen from the bandits and the way he held out gold coins as if it were no big deal.
I send a little yearning gaze from the surroundings.
Of course, in reality he is an F-class adventurer, but he has a reason for bluffing. You shouldn’t look funny in a place like this.
If you look down on a village that is strictly closed to strangers, you may be beaten, kicked out, or even killed.
Especially when you have a lot of money, you have to be more careful. And looking like a mogul is good for information.
Kerry had a relaxed laugh as she played the big shot. She asked for a drink and she urged her.
‘What kind of drink is it? It’s hard to make a living in this world, so I don’t have much experience drinking alcohol.’
Ruler. Then where should I ask? Kerry took a sip of an unknown drink. It’s a bit high in alcohol, but she was quite drinkable.
“It’s my first time here, but by the way. Host.”
“Tell me. Adventurer hyung.”
“Hasn’t there been any suspicious people in here lately?”
“Speaking of suspicious people…”
“The one with a skinny body and a ferocious face…And a fat, pig-like face. Hehe. This drink doesn’t taste bad? I recommended a good one.”
Don’t forget to keep your form relaxed. The owner seemed to be pondering a trivial question, whether he was fed up with my suffocating Gao.
“Ah, come to think of it, I heard that a few days ago I saw people with the impression you mentioned. They all felt bad and scared. Why did they do anything wrong?”
Got it right Now we have to ask more clearly.
“…They did their fault. But don’t ask me in detail. It’s better not to know.”
The host swallowed dry saliva at the serious voice. Gao seems to have been properly eaten.
“Hmm. I see.”
Foul-looking bastards were stealing stories, but none had the guts to make eye contact with me.
This is why it is important for people to wear equipment. Eating from the outside and entering.
“Here’s the change.”
99 silver comes out thick. Kerry took a silver from her pocket and handed it to the hostess.
“Here’s a tip. Do you know anything more about the hunk and the skull? Owner.”
“Water, of course, of course. Brother The atmosphere between the two was so bad that no one was close to them. This place isn’t very welcoming to strangers. They say that two men with a bad atmosphere wandered around the village, and they said that the strongmen in the village seemed to be bothered by them, and they followed them.”
“Therefore?”
“The village youth say they don’t do anything particularly bad. But it seems that he didn’t stop following because he was embarrassed. I don’t know if they’re still in town. If you don’t mind, I could introduce you to the men I followed. They are close friends with my son.”
“Then please. Owner. Here are a few more tips.”
Kerry tipped generously.
Tipping is not a common culture in this world. It was because most of them had a hard time making ends meet.
The sight of Kerry tipping a few silvers convinced the customers around her that Kerry was a tycoon.
“Then… The tip is over and I have a request.”
“What? Owner.”
“Please stay quiet in this town and go. It is the hometown where I grew up.”
Kerry replied with a relaxed smile at the owner, who even refused to tip.
“You don’t have to worry unnecessarily.”
It wasn’t long before she tipped her glass and waited. Some of the village youths approached with nervous expressions.
It seems that the owner warned him that he was an unusual person.
After the introductions, the young people started talking.
“You can’t ignore the human impression, can you? In terms of impression, that duo wasn’t really at a bad level, but it gave me goosebumps. So we chased after him every day, fearing that he might do something bad to the village.”
“I didn’t do anything special when we were watching, but… After they came, more and more people in the village became distraught.”
“It’s obvious what they did! There must have been some mind-blowing drug in the well.”
“The number of missing people is increasing. Brother… Are you here to catch them? Honestly, we want to grab them by the collar right now, but there is no evidence. One.”
“…”
It’s easier than you think to get clues about them. Unless they were idiots, they couldn’t have shown themselves so easily.
It’s because it’s right after meeting a strong enemy, Rina.
‘Those who should be careful are showing up and walking around… They smell very suspicious.’
“They say they are living in a farmhouse quite far from the village. It’s a farm run by Eli’s father, and I know the road well.”
As soon as Eli’s name came out of the mouth of a young man. The young men laughed out loud.
Why is everyone like this all of a sudden?
“I miss Ellie.”
“Ellie is fine. Don’t be like that.”
Who is Ellie, and her men are blushing and tearing her up?
“Who else is Ellie?”
“Nothing to worry about. Brother She’s a prostitute who’s famous for being pretty from our village… They’re so expensive that I’ve never met them, but whenever I hear about Ellie, I’m like that. These guys! The adventurer hyung is busy, so don’t talk nonsense and get to the point!”
Kerry raised her hand to stop her hostess.
“I want to hear more about Ellie’s story.”
“Hey! You are a man too! That’s what I’ve only heard, but they say that once you see Ellie’s smile, she can’t get out of it.”
“Brunette Ellie is the pride of our town.”
“Right. Brown-haired Ellie is the pride of our town!”
“These guys! What kind of town pride is that!”
When the owner shouts, the men burst into laughter. The obscenity among the men, once started, continued without knowing the end.
*
Ellie’s story dragged on for a while, but she got all the information she could get.
Lina and Natasha would never have dreamed of coming to a place like this, so it was obvious that they were still lost.
At most, people would hold hands and ask, but people who are rude to strangers cannot easily open their mouths.
‘Brown-haired Ellie… I should keep it in my head.’
It was said that the men in the village were so crazy about it, so I couldn’t help but want to hear it before leaving.
‘Didn’t you say they were living in a farmhouse away from the village? Then Ellie’s father…’
Predictably, Ellie’s father, the owner of the farmhouse, was most likely killed by a pig and a skeleton. Or he’s being intimidated. Poor Ellie.
Kerry figured out where the guys were, but she kept feeling bad. It’s because she found out about them too easily.
‘It smells suspicious…’
I’m still missing something. It’s not a lot of time, but it’s better than rushing and messing things up.
Kerry wandered around town aimlessly. Because she had nothing to gain by sitting still.
“Come to think of it, the village youths said that after they came, many people became crazy…”
My mind went crazy. They do not hesitate to make human sacrifices. He wouldn’t hesitate to say that he was destroying the minds of the residents with witchcraft or magic.
She went to visit the village youths again and found a resident who said she was delirious.
“Adventurer bro. See the old man sitting in the rocking chair over there? I’ve seen that fucking old man since I was a baby, but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen him sit so calmly in the world.”
“It’s just that you’re not feeling well…”
“I mean, it’s not like that. I went to that old man’s house because I had some urgent business to do. Well, he was chewing and eating raw meat dripping with blood that wasn’t cooked. Even if you tell me to cook it because I get sick… I suddenly have a huge craving for raw meat. I’ve never been like that before in my life.”
“It’s not just that old man that’s strange. Others are similar, but many have bizarre symptoms. Some lady said well she was trying to bite her son. Since they came, there are more and more ugly rumors in the village.”
“…”
It seems that young people are not wandering around useless. Kerry used her goddess eyes on the old man sitting idly in a rocking chair.
[Name – John Morgan]
[Age – 58]
[Status – Voodoo (in progress), Aging, Hunger.]
What is voodoo Kerry saw with her goddess eyes exactly what her voodoo was meant to be.
[Voodoo]
[Summary – A type of sorcery that turns a living person into a ghoul.]
‘Ghoul!’
Now, the picture they are aiming for is drawn in my head. They are thoroughly digging traps and preparing.
That we are coming The reason I dared to tell you where I live is for the sake of some kind of trap.
Perhaps a large number of ghouls are hidden there?
‘Because there are a lot of missing people in the village. I’m sure.’
They are dirty Kerry doesn’t intend to speak justice, but they are definitely crossing the line.
I feel like I know why Lina uses her qi and she wants to kill them.
Kerry said, still playing the experienced adventurer.
“That uncle. You have been under a special spell. It is a terrible spell that turns you into a ghoul.”
“Yes? Adventurer hyung… Is that true?”
“Why would I lie?”
“No. Still…It doesn’t look that bad…”
“It only looks like that. Right now, my mind is being gnawed at by some kind of incantation. Eating raw meat and trying to bite my son are all due to wicked sorcery. I bet you.”
The young people made a fuss about what to do with each other. Kerry’s image so far has been that of a strong adventurer who has gone through a lot of hardships.
If it is not the word of an F-class adventurer, but the word of a noble adventurer with an unknown atmosphere, it is worthy of trust.
“Then… What should I do to break that wicked spell?”
“Please help. Even my gift…”
“My mother too! My mother has similar symptoms! Adventurer! Help!”
Until now, it felt like a semi-honorable title, but suddenly the young people became extremely polite.
Honestly, what great ability do I have to solve voodoo?
At any other time, there certainly wouldn’t have been. But Kerry had a solution now in his arms.
[Advanced Holy Water]
‘This opportunity came faster than I thought? I can sell it for a good price.’
There is probably only one bottle of holy water in the village. And there are villagers who are getting voodoo and are gradually becoming ghouls.
In addition, since it is a high-level Holy Beast, many people may benefit from it.
“To solve that wicked spell… As you all know, you need holy water or a priest.”
“Ah… As expected.”
“There are no priests in our village. There is no such thing as a precious thing like holy water.”
“Adventurer, is there really no way? My mother… I can’t wait to see her become a ghoul… “
I felt sorry for doing business to desperate people, but I wasn’t a kind enough person to give away holy water for free.
‘What are you doing to be nice when you don’t have money? I’m just being treated like a pet.’
Kerry opened her mouth quietly.
“Due to a relationship, I happen to have a bottle of high-grade holy water…”
“I will buy it! Adventurer! I will live!”
“My mother is sick! I will rob all the property in the house, so please sell it to me!”
“My teacher is sick too!”
Kerry calmed down her youth her.
“Because a high-level Holy Beast is a pretty amazing thing. It may even save the lives of many people in the village. So what I want to say is… 10 gold. If you collect money or somehow collect 10 gold, I will hand over the holy water without hesitation.”
Nothing is free in this world. 10 gold would be more than enough to meet the brown-haired Ellie.
I think I can have good memories in this town.
