Chapter 387 – The Cotton Field
The energy of death overflowing from its body is easier to absorb than a person’s life force.
As if breathing doesn’t require any extra effort, the energy of death that was overflowing in his body flows into me with just a little effort on my part.
Thanks to this, remote absorption through river water and overflowing blood, which would have been impossible originally, is possible.
The blood mixed with the river water to make the color like wine flows into my body all at once.
The amount of blood flowing from the cracks in his skin gradually increased. The energy of death overflowing from his body gradually weakens.
As the energy of death flowing from Jiangshi’s body weakens, I must approach him.
I took one step at a time towards Jiangshi. The guy is absorbed in my energy, standing still and waiting for death to come.
“Hoo-wook, whoo-wook… !”
I remembered the time before when I absorbed Drake’s life force. Back then, I couldn’t handle the abundant vitality that rushed in like a tidal wave, but this time it’s different.
Thanks to the river water that has been infiltrated like impurities, not so much of the energy of death enters my body.
Slowly, kill the guy.
And finally, I arrived in front of the guy.
He raised his hands and gripped the man’s head violently. The amulet attached to his face reaches into his hand.
Without hesitation, he thrust his fingers into the crevices of his skin.
And…
-Once again, here…
Remnants of unknown memories flow in.
When I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them, there was only a lump of skin of the Jiangshi that had dried up.
I slowly turned my head. Like a fanatic, no… The zealots were making faces as if they couldn’t believe it when they saw Jiangshi, who was horribly withered.
One of the village chief’s sons wrote evil.
“It is blasphemy!!!”
“Kill and set God’s justice right!!!”
A black shadow fell in the center of the zealots who rushed towards me.
The Troll Skeleton’s Zweihender was stuck in the center, creating several corpses.
Natalya, who was controlling the skeleton, let out a hysterical scream she had never heard before.
“How dare you arrogant heretic bastards!!”
The extermination of the fanatics did not take long. When they saw the withered Jiangshi, they rushed at me without sparing their bodies like moths on fire, and Natalya organized them all.
Looking at the corpses of the fanatics piled up like a mountain, I sat down on a rock with a dejected heart.
He covered his face with both palms.
Where did you make a mistake? Why did this happen?
“Roin… My love. I always liked the way you teased me.”
“Really?”
Are you asking about the true intention of love for my woman? It’s a stupid question.
“Of course! You are my everything!!”
“Wooheung~ It’s a bit embarrassing~”
“… ?”
The old man was standing in front of me. An old man in a distinctive blue suit stood in front of me.
“Does it seem like nothing anymore…”
“Hey. I am alive.”
His eyes widened in surprise at his outstretched fingers poking at his cheek.
“Ha, but, apparently, it was crushed by a boulder…”
“No, no, you haven’t forgotten my ability, have you? You don’t die from such physical damage? He turned his body into liquid before he was crushed.”
“Well, then the energy of death I felt at that time… ?”
At my question, Roin tilted his head and smiled.
“Aura of death? Hmm… Isn’t it the village chief’s?”
“Thank god!”
“Kyaaa?!”
Wow, I hugged Roin’s body.
The texture that seems to be between the unique firmness and firmness, it is definitely a loin!
“I thought I lost you forever. I thought we would never see each other again.”
“… Are you okay. I’m here.”
Roin stroked my back with a friendly voice.
The excitement of the reunion did not last long.
It was because the slaves who were in the cotton fields came to hear the commotion.
I pushed back the slaves and got out of the crater and took in the surrounding scenery. I was dumbfounded and blinked my eyes.
“No, this…”
Warehouses full of cotton have disappeared. Only the crater remained in its place.
“I wonder if the common stomach was a warehouse.”
Organize your mind by thinking about the current situation.
“Hmm…”
Things aren’t too bad.
I forgot about it for a while because of the fanatics, but the purpose of coming to this village was to interfere with the return of bedding for winter preparations requested by the administrator.
Since the warehouse collapsed and was covered with rocks, it is impossible to find cotton wool, fabric, and anything else because they are all buried.
Fighting with the young Jiangshi, it seems that it has achieved its original purpose by accident.
Of course, since I was involved in the destruction of the warehouse, the magistrate could make excuses for me.
But the matter is too serious.
The village headman and villagers fell into the pseudo-religion, became fanatics, and even made human sacrifices. It is a terrible act that cannot be forgiven.
I solved that terrible act with the status of sheriff that Trisian gave me. It will also help Trician’s performance, and the collapse of the warehouse is such a big achievement that it can be regarded as a minor mistake.
As I was organizing my thoughts, the slave who had contacted me earlier approached.
“Look, Sheriff… How did this…”
“Hmm? Ah…”
Now I have the status of a sheriff. You must act according to your status.
“Yes, your testimony has been very helpful. It seems that the chief and the villagers who followed him were immersed in an unknown pseudo-religion.”
“Sah, pseudo…”
“Okay.”
The slave blinked as if thinking about something at my answer, then looked up at me again.
“Me, children, did you find the children?”
“Children…”
I was momentarily speechless.
“Hey, kids… Was not there.”
“Yes? What is that… No… ?”
At my answer, the slave made a face of bewilderment.
“It seems that the village chief used it as a human sacrifice. No body was found.”
“Ahhh… !!!!”
At my answer, the slave sat down and sobbed.
It wasn’t just that. The other slaves behind him also sat down and sobbed.
He looked at the slaves weeping in groups and then turned around. It will take some time to calm down.
I approached Natalia.
Natalya was examining the jiangshi, who had become a withered mass of leather.
“What do you think?”
“Yes? Ah… I do not know. It’s my first time seeing something like this…”
Natalya crosses his arms and looks down at the gangshi’s hide.
“At first, I thought it was some kind of flash golem, but no matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like that… I think this paper is the medium, but it’s the first letter I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t look like runes…”
Natalya picks up the talisman attached to Jiangshi’s face and looks around. I also looked closely at the amulet from the side.
The more you look, the stronger your conviction becomes. This is definitely the type of talisman I know. No wonder Natalya doesn’t know.
But… Then who?
As I was thinking about that, Natalya folded the amulet and put it in.
“I’ll save it for now and find someone who knows runes well later.”
“No, you don’t have to. Give it to the previous lord. As evidence of this incident.”
“Ah…”
Natalya reacted unexpectedly to my answer.
“Why?”
“Ah… I just thought it might have some magical value… Yes. This was to be submitted as evidence of this incident. If so, even the corpse of this monster…”
“No, I have to submit that too.”
“Huh…”
Natalya became visibly sullen at the fact that she could not take the corpse of the Jiangshi or the amulet.
“I’ll ask if I can get it back later.”
“Really?!”
Natalia’s eyes twinkle. Let’s try to make sure we get this.
“Eh…”
This time, Roin approached with his shoulders drooping. It’s a similar feeling to how Natalya became sullen.
“Roin? What’s the matter?”
“No… When the cave collapsed earlier, he came out alive by turning his body into liquid. But unlike this robe, the robe is not affected by magic. Must have been buried underneath I can’t find the robe.”
“Robe… ?”
“Once upon a time, Hansung bought me something. It was my treasure.”
This time, Roin was visibly depressed.
“I’ll buy you one when I get back this time.”
After saying that, I looked at Roin’s body. Also, this outfit is too revealing. Roin’s erotic body should only be seen by me!
He took off the robe of the god of death he was wearing and handed it to him.
“For now, I’m only wearing this until I go back.”
“Oh, really?!”
Roin’s face brightened as if he was happy to receive my robe.
“What, what is this?!”
A familiar voice came from far away.
“Hmm… ?”
Phillips could be seen outside the crater.
That guy, where did he come from? … ?
“Philips! Get your wagon ready! Come back soon!!”
“All right!!”
I watched Phillips’ back as he got out of the crater and went to get the wagon. Then he looked at the slaves who were still huddled together in groups and weaving.
The slave who first approached me and asked for help approached me. He bowed his head at me, wet his face with tears.
“Thank you. If it wasn’t for the sheriff… I must have been doing what they told me even now, without knowing the news of my child. Thank you so much.”
“…”
It wasn’t really something I did for these guys. So I didn’t know what to say to a slave who thanked me.
