Chapter 58 – When to Step Outside
By the time Snow White and Sylveria, two female mothers and daughters were meeting Veronica, an underground waterway opened up in all the territory of the Isis Territory,
Like other territories, it is filled with rotten water and musty smell, making it a paradise for mice, but unlike other territories, there is a being who calls himself the ‘owner of the underground waterway’.
The big hand of the back world that should never be counted outside, selling all the secret information of the entire kingdom with its own hands, who sells the information that those who are looking for this underground waterway by manning rats.
Those who have met him are at first embarrassed by his non-human appearance, but when they meet the countless and secret information he holds, his identity is dismissed as a minor problem.
“Clink and a penny! Clink and two pennies!”
The royal families who rule this country in the present, in the past called themselves descendants of dragons and gathered people to form a popular underground information merchant throughout the Dracania Kingdom, the owner of the underground sewer in the Isis territory, the owner of an adult store, a goblin self-employed shaman, or a eunuch for short. Joo was giggling again today as he put a coin purse thick with gold coins into the safe.
When Sylveria first came to see her, she thought she was dead, but now humans come with gold coins to see each other’s faces.
Goja-ju, who lives day by day with the fun of sweeping away all the gold coins, swimming around in a bathtub filled with gold coins without telling a lie, giggles while kicking the human slave who is stepping under her feet there was.
“The captain should have seen this! Regretful!”
“Why are you sad?”
The black silhouettes and rats that sneakily appeared behind such gojaju and talked to him gave warnings with squeaks, but gojaju, who was distracted by money and did not hear it, bounced gold coins and said:
“Are you asking because you don’t know! The captain is already dead, so who is it! What kind of bastard is unlucky to intervene in what others say!”
“I’m a chewy.”
“Great, great, great, great, great, great captain?!”
Wasn’t he dead?!
I was so startled by the unexpected identity of the suddenly appearing black silhouette that the gold coins in my hand clinked and fell to the floor, but that wasn’t what was important to Goja-ju right now.
“Really, really the boss?!”
I thought he must have died!
Gojaju touched the face of the orc who was looking down at him with a sullen face. He often begins to judge whether it is genuine or fake, having doubts and doubts that he may be a phantom.
“See… These ugly protruding fangs… Eyes like a bear starved for months, ah! The most important point in determining the captain is, of course, the scar on his left eye from the peak of his blood… Hmm, hmm… “
“So sir, am I steamed or salty?”
“Looking at this ugly looking top plate removal and the scar on his left eye, Captain Lee… “
This is a tense moment.
“Congratulations! It’s genuine! Congratulations! Leader!”
“Waaaaa!!!”
The orcs cried, the goblins cried, even the rats shed tears, and the underground water that turned into a sea of tears.
“He was really alive, Captain! I didn’t even send the rats because I thought I’d be dead!”
“I almost died.”
“That means… ? Eh, ay! Don’t lie, Captain!”
“… “
“Really?! Really, that human female… !”
Oh, it must be a lie Is that Sylveria? It was the Silveria who cut down the Demon King’s army more than anyone else and would hate the captain more than anyone else among humans. By the way, really?
“Hehe, the only Orc born between me and Sylveria is fifteen.”
At the words of the orc, who smiled sinisterly and confidently announced the victory of Sylveria’s female corruption, and set up his own Juji, Goja-ju sat down and cried.
“Ji, you really are the captain! You really are the boss! I thought I saw the captain’s ghost or a hallucination because I missed the captain so much until just now!! However, that insidious expression and erection unique to the captain!! He is the captain without a doubt!!”
“Then what did you touch with your hands?”
“In this world, you can do as many tricks as you like! Like witchcraft”
“Ah”
Orc touched the naked Sylveria and recalled the witchcraft that made him mistaken for a dog. The orc nodded as if he understood the words of the deceased, then asked while playing in the air with a gold coin that had fallen on the floor.
“I hear you say you’re doing well? You say you bring a bag of money all over the country?”
“Yes, chief! Humans and elves alike have dark secrets!”
And Gojaju, who makes a living by selling those secrets, said to the orc with his arms crossed.
“Human beings, pretending to be noble and intelligent on the outside, but if you look behind them, there is no beast worse than this! More than goblins!”
Gojaju clicks his tongue, saying, “Why are all the requests for information related to her affair because he doesn’t trust his wife, or asking for information on whether the person he hired to kill is dead or not?” The orc nodded as if agreeing with him.
“Okay, tell me the way to the official residence of the Lord of Isis.”
“The official residence?”
What’s the matter all of a sudden? Go Ja-ju tilts his head as if he doesn’t know why.
“You couldn’t have been playing around here, and you probably knew all the geography of this underground waterway, didn’t you?”
“Yes! I’ve lived here for years! I know what goes in every direction from most of the secret passages here!”
“Okay! So let’s go to the lord’s residence!”
“I do not know!”
“Yai!”
Can I meet you in a while? Seeing the orc stride toward him with his fists full of stones, Go Ja-Joo said, startled.
“Gee, I really don’t know! Does not exist! On the way to the lord’s residence!”
“Ok?”
There is no way!
In his own head, he had a fantasy formula of underground waterway = a refuge that lords always made in preparation for wartime, so when the terribly embarrassed orc grabbed Gojaju by the collar and ran to it, Gojaju grinned and said,
“I-I’ve been looking for them all! That, but there was no place that actually led to the official residence!”
“Then give me a rough guide on the location.”
Still, I’m a good information merchant in my own way, but no matter how much I’m a captain, I can’t believe you’re persecuting me like this…
“I can’t live like this!”
“What?”
“I mean, I can’t live in the underground water anymore!”
“… Behave well”
After putting the rats in the lead as guides, he followed Go Ja-ju, who started walking. Suddenly, the orc got curious and asked Go Ja-ju.
“But what about that slave?”
“I bought it!”
“Buy?”
“Yes! After the war, humans, no money! So! On the outside, they pretended to be on good terms with other races, but behind the scenes, they just captured and sold them as slaves! There are no slaves without elves, beastmen, and dwarves!”
“Hmm… “
It must have been that he was attracted to something because he was a slave, but soon after realizing his identity, the orc showed a gloomy expression, and Gojaju squealed.
“When the auction is held later, I will buy one for the captain!”
“Oh? You know I won’t eat it unless I’m a female knight, right?”
“… “
Hearing those words, Koja-ju, who once again felt that the real captain had returned, walked in front with a tear-jerking smile.
After searching through the underground aqueduct again, as they entered an alley, the rats suddenly turned around and started looking at Gojaju.
“Why are they like that?”
“It has arrived! This top is the lord’s residence!”
“Hey… This is… “
When an unexpected place appeared that was neither a shelter for refugees nor a secret passage, the orc looked at Gojaju and said.
“Isn’t it a dungeon?”
It smelled musty because it was located where there was a sewer, but the orc cautiously stepped forward to a place with a distinctly different atmosphere.
“Is it strange? Why is there a dungeon right under the manor house?”
Perhaps it was because he was witnessing the dungeon for the first time after growing hair, orc began to move his steps more cautiously than ever.
The thick iron bars installed in each cell to prevent escape and the skeletons glimpsed inside the cell created a bleak atmosphere.
“I thought dungeons were only in the tunnel under a big tree… Uh?”
After touching and pulling the instruments of torture such as fire clay, chains, and a wooden horse, the orc checked his hand and gestured to Goja-ju as if something was wrong.
“Why is that, Captain!”
“Why are there no rust on my hands?”
“What do you mean?”
“This dungeon looks like it was built a long time ago, judging from the moldy appearance on the walls, but there are no traces of rust on these tools. There should be only dust.”
The orc, who roughly instructed Gojaju to investigate, muttered as he climbed the circular staircase that appeared in front of him.
“If Sylveria knew about this dungeon, she would definitely have spoken to me. I didn’t even know that there was a place like this underground, let alone a dungeon.”
Hopefully
“Maybe we can do something fun?”
A smile did not leave the corners of the orc’s lips.
