Chapter 90 – Red Riding Hood Officer (3)
After a night in the shack, it was morning. I pulled off Seris and Kara that were clinging to either side of me and stood up. With a yawn, he opened his arms and stretched them out.
‘It’s sore.’
Maybe it was because I slept on the hard floor, but instead of disappearing, the fatigue seemed to get worse.
‘I’ve gotten used to the bed.’
This would have been unimaginable a year ago. He smiled and tried to go outside. I felt a presence at the door.
Smart.
Have been knocking
“Who are you?”
“Ah, are you an adventurer? I came because the village chief sent me.”
It was the voice of a young woman. I relaxed and opened the door. A young woman with long hair tied back to match her voice was standing at the door.
“Are you the chief?”
“Yes, the adventurers said they would like all of us to come together. I came to meet you.”
“Us?”
Wasn’t the subjugation tomorrow? Why are you calling me in the morning like this? As she narrowed her eyes and lost her thoughts, the woman spoke cautiously.
“Hey… The chief is waiting for you…”
“Ah, yes. All right. I need to get ready, so could you wait a moment?”
“Yes.”
I closed the door and shook Seris and Kara awake.
“Hmm… Yooseong-san…”
I heard Ceris wrap her arms around my neck and try to give her a morning kiss. She pushed away
“Wake. This is not home Kara, you too.”
“Huh…”
I woke them both up and turned to Amy. She had already woken up and was getting her hair done. It seems that he is more diligent than he thought.
We finished our preparations and came out of the shack and followed the woman’s guidance.
“Why are you calling and making a fuss this morning?”
Amy walked away complaining. The woman smiled awkwardly and apologized.
“Is it too early? The chief also asked why this morning… I’m sorry. I will apologize for you.”
“Huh? Uh… No. There is no need to apologize.”
Amy was a little taken aback and waved her hand. She seems weaker to her kind people than to her own thoughts. She had it stored in her head.
“Everyone is here. The chief and the other adults are here.”
“Here?”
The place they arrived at was not the village chief’s house. It was a house that looked more like a single room than a shack.
“I use this house for meetings in the village. Then I will go alone.”
Without having time to say anything, the woman quickly left. I looked at the three of them and shrugged my shoulders before opening the door.
Inside, there was only one room that was slightly larger than the exterior. The room was full of stout men of all ages, from wrinkled old men to greenish young men.
“Come. Please sit down there.”
The village chief pointed to an empty seat with a slightly condescending voice. Amy’s eyebrows tried to frown, so I tapped her on the shoulder.
“Be patient.”
“Know. Don’t worry.”
We talked without being heard by them. Then, this time, Kara’s expression did not improve. It’s like putting out a fire and turning on a new one. She shook her head and sat down in the empty seat.
Under the table, I put on Kara and handcuffs to be invisible to the villagers. His expression relaxed a little. Now you can talk to the village chief.
“Why did you call us? I know the subjugation is tomorrow.”
“That has changed. The subjugation will be held tonight.”
A man other than the village chief answered my question. He was a middle-aged man wearing a breastplate. Next to him were men dressed similarly, probably the guards stationed in the village.
– Notice again…
Amy murmured softly. Ignoring her, she told him.
“Suddenly?”
“Yeah, waiting until tomorrow seems to be giving me too much time. If you do something wrong, they will run away.”
“That’s true too… But it’s not without its a little bit of a sudden aspect. We had been thinking about tomorrow since we were notified.”
I turned around and expressed my dissatisfaction with the sudden notification. However, the guard responded with a shameless face.
“Hmm, how did that happen? Sorry about that Isn’t it nice that you guys can go home quickly anyway?”
He complained about why he was notified without discussion, and said that it was not good to be able to go home early.
You got the wrong order. I held my breath at that thought.
“All right. We’ll find out tonight. Anything else you want to say?”
“Oh, and when we go to the subjugation, can you guys take the lead?”
“It’s not possible.”
I was adamant about this part. It wouldn’t be until the meat shield, but I felt that they would use us to promote their safety.
As if I was right, the guard’s brow furrowed slightly. The other guards looked at me with unkind eyes.
“We are in a position to pay, so can’t we do that much?”
“I’m sorry, but there was no talk of being at the forefront of the request.”
“Can I just write it down? And if the money giver does it, he does it. Is not it?”
“No. If you keep doing that, you won’t be able to work.”
“What? Can’t you work?”
“Yes. If you keep trying to change the contents of the request, we won’t be able to work either.”
“Ha… It’s an adventurer theme, but the belly sang.”
The guard clicked his tongue and shook his head. The village chief raised his voice as if he could not see it any longer.
“Stop it, Dale.”
“No, Chief, we have to say this clearly. Speaking of adventurers who can barely borrow money…”
A guard named Dale looked at us with disapproval.
There are sometimes A guard who hates adventurers like that.
Most of them consider themselves superior to adventurers. In fact, he received a high salary and learned swordsmanship, so he was stronger than ordinary adventurers.
I thought further conversation was pointless. Awarded and stood up.
“All right. We’ll just go back.”
There was no reason why he had to do this request. It wasn’t because I didn’t have enough money, nor because I didn’t need experience for this request. There was nothing to regret.
I tried to leave the house with the bewildered Seris and Kara.
“For a moment.”
The village chief called me and stopped me. He took a deep breath and continued his words.
“Okay. Don’t ask me to take the lead.”
“Chief!”
“Noisy, Dale. Guys, I won’t make unreasonable demands anymore, so finish the job.”
“No. We have already made up our mind. Let’s find another adventurer.”
After answering like that, Dale, in a fit of fuss, pointed with his finger and shouted.
“You cheeky! Yeah turn it off Even without you guys, it’s enough for us to clear out the bandits. No, rather, you guys who have no roots should interfere!”
Some of the guards nodded their heads in agreement. On the other hand, except for the guards, the other villagers had displeased faces. However, he only watched carefully to see if he could not say anything to the guards.
“Stop!”
The village chief shouted loudly with an old body. The guards, who had been sarcastic just before, shut their mouths and stared at the village chief.
“Dale, weren’t you the one who said vigilantes and guards alone could cost you money? That’s why we brought the adventurers.”
“Yes, it is, but…”
“Then don’t say anything. I apologize for the rudeness of you guys. Could you please accept the request again?”
“No, that’s all right. Find other adventurers.”
“It’s too late to find other adventurers. Yes, I will give you a little more money.”
“No money…”
“If you want, I will send a letter to the guild congratulating you on your work. Let’s say it in a splendid way so that your names can shine.”
“Hmm…”
After thinking about that, Amy patted me from the side. She whispered into my ear.
“Let’s take it.”
“Why. Didn’t you like this place?”
“That was until just now. They say it makes for a good reputation. The troublesome thing has been solved. Is there any reason not to take it?”
“Hmm…”
There was nothing.
Without the whims of the guards, this quest would be a very convenient one.
After thinking for a moment, I nodded.
“All right. I will take it.”
Dale’s face darkened.
…
That night, as planned, we went out to clear the bandits. The number of people is 29 including 20 vigilantes, 5 guards, me, the Celis sisters, and Amy.
As I followed the villagers to the bandit’s living quarters, Dale looked away from me with a frown.
“Just grab your ankle. I won’t let you go.”
I went ahead with those words. She shrugged and continued walking.
The subjugation party arrived at the sanchae.
The inside was empty.
* * *
The Wounded Bandits prepared a surprise attack.
With their boss back, they had nothing to fear. I descended the darkened mountain path, relying on a torch.
“Ah, it’s bothering me that we’ll just go during the day…”
Conrad, the leader of the Wounded Bandits and the leader of the Red Riding Hood Bandits, complained and gulped down his drink. He was already quite drunk, and his face was red.
The Vice-Chancellor cautiously spoke to Conrad.
“But wouldn’t it be better to take the least damage?”
“Sacrifice is a piece of shit. I can just go there by myself.”
“It’s not possible. By any chance, if the boss gets seriously injured, our gang of bandits is over!”
“Hey, do you think I’m going to get scratched by gocats? And if you’re going to fail without me, it’s better to just fail.”
Conrad was sarcastic, but her face was smiling. It was because the father-in-law of the vice head was happy inside.. She drank with a smile on her face.
“Voodoo boss, we’ve arrived at the village!”
The bandit who was going ahead ran up and reported. The assistant head nodded.
“Okay then…”
“Then sweep it away!”
Conrad pointed the bottle at the village. The bandit looked at the dock with an expression that he did not know what to do.
“Boss, let’s take a look at the situation…”
“Why? What’s the situation? It’s just a matter of going and george. Or what. Were you scared? Am I behind you?”
Conrad looked at the bandits one by one and said. It was as if his head would be smashed if he said he was scared. The bandits shook their heads with contemplative faces.
“Yeah, that’s how it should be. Who am I Then shut up and rush in. I’m getting sleepy, so let’s finish it and go to sleep.”
Conrad yawned and let go of the momentum that seemed to eat him. The stiff bandits were able to move their bodies only then. The assistant manager sighed and shouted.
“All charge!”
The bandits ran, each holding a torch in one hand and a crude weapon in the other. Crude barriers were jumped over or broken into.
“You go over there!”
“I am this way!”
They dispersed and broke the door of a nearby house to break in.
“Kyaaaaac!!”
A middle-aged woman screamed at the intruder who had broken down the door. As an ax was thrust into her chest, she fell silent. The bandit searched the house to find the biggest threat: the head of household.
“?”
There was no
The only people in the house are old people, children, and immature children.
It was the same with most other houses. By that time, even the stupid bandits realized.
-The roads have crossed!
I started looting in peace. The man’s pitiful begging for his life and the woman’s sorrowful screams roamed the village.
Conrad strolled through it, drinking.
“Kids, that’s good.”
While walking with a smile, he stopped the bandit who was trying to kill the boy.
“Hey.”
“Why, why are you…”
Why are you doing this to me all of a sudden? Did I do something wrong? The bandit trembled and faced Conrad.
However, Conrad did not pay attention to the bandit. She shouted at the other men.
“Don’t touch the kids! You have to give it to the fanatics later.”
On Conrad’s orders, the bandits tied up the children and put them in a house. And it was time to try again.
“Hey, these bastards!”
The subjugation team returned to the village. They saw their wives and children ravaged by bandits. Blood gushed upside down, and the five organs were twisted.
“Oh, are you here?”
Conrad laughed at them and drank.
“This, these bastards!!”
Three enraged vigilantes ran at the bandits playing with my family. To do so, he had to pass Conrad. He swung his weapon at Conrad.
Purbubuck.
The body fell to the floor with a dull sound. There was a big sunken mark on his head, and sticky blood flowed from Konrad’s mace.
“It’s scary when they suddenly come running.”
Conrad shook his head as if he couldn’t help it. He turned to his men and said.
“Isn’t that right, guys?”
The bandits, who had been grasping the situation for a while, soon smiled mischievously.
“Yes! They came running with a grim face, but I thought I was afraid to die!”
“If it wasn’t for the boss, my heart would have stopped and I would have died!”
“I peed… Ugh! I used semen instead of pee!”
“I hate it!!!!”
Bandits laughing mischievously.
Village women screaming in sorrow as they are trampled upon.
As a guard, I couldn’t stand still.
Dale drew his sword.
I will kill all those worms with this sword.
He ran towards Conrad, who was still giggling. Even though Conrad turned the three vigilantes into mush in an instant, Dale wasn’t afraid.
He recalled the words of the captain of the guard who taught him in the city in the past.
-What you learned is an ordinary basic swordsmanship. It’s not as great as the knights use it. But if you train hard enough, you’ll be strong enough!
The captain of the guard Dale knew was never a man who talked nonsense. So Dale trained like he was going to die after that. Even with basic swordsmanship, he believed that if he worked hard, he could succeed!
And now, when the blood and sweat shed is rewarded…
Kwadeuk.
Dale’s head was smashed along with the sword. Along with the blood, pure white brain water was scattered in the air.
All the villagers who saw it hardened. They expected Dale to defeat those villains the moment he drew his sword. Since he’s usually a big banger, he believed there must be something.
But expectations were betrayed. Died so easily
“What is this asshole?”
Conrad frowned at what it was Dale. He put his mace on the floor and drew a line. He looked at the punitive force and said.
“Listen. Anyone who falls through this will die. If you want to live, jump out now.”
-Don’t do it..! Stop!!
“If only I could leave my family behind.”
Giggles again Other bandits agreed with his laugh. The bandits laughed at the incompetent heads of households who couldn’t even protect their own families.
“Keugh…”
Some of the subjugation team members gnashed their teeth. With bloodshot eyes, he crossed the line Conrad had drawn. His limbs were crushed and his head shattered in agony, and he died.
Then, among the punitive forces, no one tried to cross the line. Even the guards who were usually condescending were the same. They were overwhelmed by only one person, Conrad.
“Puhhhhh!! Don’t you guys have a dick? Can’t you see your wife getting fucking fucked? Or do you like it that way? He would at least take care of me so that I could take care of my daughter… Ouch.”
Conrad, who had a heart-rending laugh, twisted his body. A dagger passed by him and lodged in the bandit’s neck as he shook his waist.
-Ke, Khehe…
The bandit fell. All eyes were on the person who threw the dagger, regardless of bandits and subjugation team members.
The dark-haired adventurer frowned.
“What. You didn’t cross the line.”
I threw a new dagger. Another bandit killed himself.
