Chapter 74 – Uninvited Guest
The east-west road from Arpagon to Westway is a road that has been naturally paved and hardened as countless wagons and people step on the huge plain that divides forests and forests.
The forests to the south and north surround Arpagon as if it were surrounding it, and continues from the west to form a huge sea of trees.
The forest, which pursues the plains, will swallow the plains and surround Arpagon as soon as people stop walking.
The quarry is located in a place where you have to walk along the main road for half a day to enter the forest in the south and then walk for a full day.
The old man I was walking with stopped.
“Do you think we should camp here? If we go further than this, it will be dark and it will be difficult to pitch a tent.”
At Roin’s words, his gaze turned to the darkened surroundings.
The last orange screams of the sun fill the sky reflected through the leaves, but they disappear quickly.
Greedy darkness will swallow up the raucous screams of the sun and quietly envelop the surroundings.
“It’s a perfect vacant lot to spread a tent.”
“Then I’ll open it here.”
With deft movements, Natalia’s skeleton pulled out a tent and assorted camping equipment from the mud golem’s backpack, spread it out, and lit a bonfire.
Looking at that figure, I looked at the tall tree next to it and tried again what the old man had told me at noon.
Stand at an angle toward the target, crouch low, and measure the distance.
Would it be right if I made it at this point? Wouldn’t it be right?
It’s puzzling.
As he tilted his head and tried to repeat the action, Natalia’s voice came from behind him.
“Hanseong-sama, it’s done. Now eat.”
“Ah, yes.”
A campfire in the middle of the clearing, along with three comfortable-sized rocks to sit on. Above the campfire, a small pot is hanging from a crudely made wooden support, and something is boiling.
“Oh, is it Stew?”
“Yes! I didn’t really have any ingredients, so I put beef jerky and stuff in it and boiled it.”
Natalya’s voice grows quieter. Somehow she doesn’t seem to have that much confidence.
“No, I think it smells good.”
“Thank god! Just boil it a little longer!”
“Oh, that sounds delicious. But what about Roin?”
Come to think of it, I can’t see Roin’s figure. Natalya tilted her head at my question.
“Weren’t you with Hansung?”
“Uh? It’s not.”
I was worried because he had suddenly disappeared without a sound, so I jumped up.
If Roin’s skills are good enough, she’ll be beaten, and she’s not at that level, but she’s still my woman. She can’t help but worry.
“Roin!”
My voice that echoed through the forest disperses, spreads and echoes back to my ears.
In the silence without response, an ominous feeling of losing a precious object ran up my back and into the back of my head.
“Uh, where did you go…?”
Natalya’s face hardened at my serious expression.
The darkness seeping through the trees started to bother me, and just when I thought I should go around and find it myself, the bushes on the other side of the darkness swayed and a middle-aged man walked out.
“What is that bastard?”
Hey.
As his vigilance increased to the maximum and the nausea was about to come out of his throat, he saw an old man behind the back of the middle-aged man.
Looking at the shape of the man’s arm, it seems that the old man is restraining him from behind.
“Roin!”
“There was a suspicious guy, so I caught him~”
I approached the old man who handed over the recruit of the man who had been captured by the skeleton and grabbed him by the shoulders.
“Ha… I was worried because you disappeared without a word. Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Are you worried? After all, my man is too kind?”
“I need to check to see if there are any injuries.”
“Kyaheung!”
He buried his face in Roin’s chest and massaged his ass.
Well, nothing more. This reassuring body temperature is sure to be the usual old man.
“What about that man?”
“You said you felt strange eyes when you went to sell a wagon yesterday and when you go out today, right? This bastard was the culprit.”
At the old man’s words, he looked at the middle-aged man. His bearded, grim face is full of rage.
Why is the fucking rum so unlucky? I’ll have to dig out my eyeballs.
“What are you?”
“Do you know who the wagon you sold to the transport guild is?”
Why is that wagon suddenly appearing?
“That’s what some stupid hunchbacked slave trader had.”
“As expected, you killed them!”
“Who?”
“My brother!”
“Is that hunchback your brother? Is your brother a man? Haha. That bastard didn’t look like a human, so I thought he was a monster.”
“Aaah!! I will kill you!!”
A middle-aged man told me to pounce on me, but she was grabbed by a skeleton and landed on her floor.
While lying face down on the floor, tightly gripped by the skeleton, he glared at me like he was going to kill me.
There is brotherly love on the subject of criminals. Is this
“Are you going to kill me? You? Me? What are you?”
“My name is Maximus. He is the leader of the Arpagon branch of the Black Moon organization that dominates the world of darkness, a faithful follower of Lord Al Hegel, and the older brother of the younger brother you killed. I will take revenge! If I can’t live, even if I die!”
His eyes widened at the lengthy self-introduction as if he were mistaken for a former general and gladiator in the Roman army.
Hehe, that’s not even funny. Look at you now! Look at you being grabbed by a skeleton and rubbing your cheeks on the ground like a bug! Do you think you can get revenge on such an asshole? Are you too greedy?”
“Hehe, do you think I came alone? One of his men has already been sent back! As soon as he returns to Arpagon, he will lead the gang and come here!”
“Hmm, I don’t think I need to worry too much about that.”
Roin, who was listening to the story next to him, scratched his cheek.
I don’t know what it is, but as expected Roin, you have plans, right?
Let’s hear what it is
“Why?”
“It takes half a day to get here from Arpagon, but it takes a whole day for that subordinate to come here from Arpagon.”
“Wouldn’t it come soon if I rode a wagon or something?”
“The gates are closed at night. If you bribe the guards or use a dog hole, people might be able to get out, but I don’t think the wagon will. I’ll come on foot, so I’ll have to come quickly so I’ll be there tomorrow morning.”
“For now, we should summon all the skeletons and reinforce the surroundings. Besides, the sun has already set, so it is difficult to find another vacant lot to pitch a tent.”
I said that Roin and Natalya would be fine.
“Tsk, not for weird guys to get involved…”
Haha! Shake off anxiety all night! You never know when my men will come and ambush you! I’ll eat the bitches with round bread, make it into herbs enough to fit my fist in, and then throw it as goblin food! Guy! You will see it with your eyes wide open and tears of blood!”
What? This kid
“Hey.”
“Kheuhuhha? What, what is it?”
“I didn’t like the look, but it turned out well. Let’s pick one and start.”
“What, what?”
He picked up a sharp stone that had fallen beside him and approached it, sticking it into Maximus’ eyeball.
“Kuaaa!!!”
“Do you know how your brother died?”
“Big!!”
Maximus clenched his teeth and glared at me with the rest of his right eye.
“I felt sorry for the two-headed hunchback kid walking around with his back bent, so I tried to straighten him by stepping on him, but hey, he didn’t straighten up well?”
Maximus bit his lower lip and glared at him, struggling to raise his head. Blood is flowing from one of the eyes where the stone was stuck.
“I was curious about information about their hideout, so I asked them, but they didn’t cooperate very well. So I cut off his fingers one by one every time I got stuck. Every time I cut one, how many screams and tears poured out. Are your ears sore?”
“This bastard…!”
A stone the size of his fist was placed in his mouth so that Maximus could not interrupt him.
“Ugh!”
“Did you cut off all your right fingers first? No, was it the left hand? I can’t remember, but I cut off most of my fingers anyway.”
“Ugh!!”
“Do you know how I killed you last? Are you here? They put a knife between the back of your head and your spine.”
He pressed his fingers into the back of Maximus’s head. Maximus shook his body.
“Haven’t I become a hunchback who couldn’t even see the sky in my lifetime because I only did bad things? Huh? What do you think about it?”
It’s so much fun to tease and tease enemies who can’t resist. His rough emotions become sweet seasoning. It’s funny how you shed tears and saliva in anger.
“Agak, gak, tweok!”
Maximus spat out the stone he had shoved into his mouth and shouted.
“Ah! You son of a bitch! I will curse you even in death! What did my brother do wrong!!!”
“Huh, what’s wrong? You guys are bad You’re a rapist and an illegal slave trader. Is this a shameless bastard?”
“That was the only thing my younger brother, who was physically disabled because he was a hunchback, could do! It’s not that I became a hunchback because I did bad things, but because I was a hunchback, there was nothing I could do but do that!!”
“Whatever.”
I can’t understand it because the way of thinking is different from common sense people like me.
At least I know I’m a trashy cheater.
These bastards masturbate saying they’re not doing anything wrong. Crazy chicks.
If you’re going to do something bad, at least admit your guilt.
And that he had no choice but to become a criminal to make a living because he was physically uncomfortable?
Whatever. I also killed the guy who tried to attack me so I could live. In a world without proper laws, the only thing that protects one’s body is one’s own strength. And they were weaker than us. It’s just a story.
“I don’t care about your bastard’s situation. You just died because you were weak. That’s it. Oh, your brother was very much like a bug on his last road trip. I’ll let you go see your brother too.”
“Aaaaa”
He picked up a stone that had fallen beside him and stuck it into Maximus’s remaining eye.
It struggles with its limbs to escape, but it seems that it cannot withstand the skeleton’s power.
“Now, I’ll let you go to hell to find your brother. But, I can’t find it because I don’t have eyes? What’s up hehe.”
“I will kill you!! I’ll chew you up!!”
“Hey, what are you doing at a pawn shop? I’ll eat everything except the golden teeth! Very. Go in, no one will come out to meet you.”
He shoved the scythe into his mouth and stepped on the back of his head.
Oops! I felt the unpleasant sensation of a scythe piercing my bones.
Soon, Maximus’ body trembled and then limp.
“Oh, it’s really stellar. Being shameless is also an oil fountain.”
“Iknow, right. I feel bad⋯⋯.”
Natalya and Roin trembled in displeasure.
