## Chapter 958 – 958. Rainbow Fruit
I met the lord, guided by a guard.
There was a minor incident where other soldiers and knights appeared and attacked me along the way, but I met the lord nonetheless.
The lord was a woman. And a beautiful one at that.
I straightened my posture. I shed my previous rudeness and put on my gentleness.
‘I am the gentle hunter, Sung Yoojin.’
I observed the lord’s beauty.
Her black hair was pulled up above her head. The nape of her white neck was elegant. She wore an ivory dress, which was rather plain for a noble’s dress. She didn’t wear much jewelry either.
Her aura was calm. Her black eyes seemed to hold wisdom.
“I greet the lord.”
She stared at me intently.
“Are you the farmer who came to the castle and caused a ruckus? You don’t seem like an ordinary farmer.”
She spoke to me politely. There was no way she would speak politely to a mere farmer, which meant she didn’t think of me as an ordinary farmer.
Among those who tried to stop me was a knight, and the knights were knocked out without being able to stop me. She must have heard the news, so she couldn’t ignore me.
“I had no intention of causing a ruckus. I simply came to see the lord.”
“I see. But what should I do? My husband is not in a state to move right now.”
“Excuse me? Aren’t you the lord?”
“I’m his wife. I’m the acting lord right now. Did you come without knowing?”
“…What is the acting lord’s name?”
Her expression became strange. She seemed to be trying to grasp the point of my question. There was no ulterior motive. I was just curious about her name.
“It’s Olle Revillidi. It would be burdensome if you called me casually on our first meeting, so please call me acting lord.”
“Can’t I call you Baroness Revillidi?”
Calling her baroness gave me a slight feeling of depravity.
“…That’s fine. That’s what I was called originally.”
“Baroness Revillidi. You are very beautiful.”
She looked at me, somewhat dumbfounded.
“Thank you for the compliment. What is your name?”
“It’s Sung Yoojin. Others seem to call me Hans, but I’m Yoojin.”
“Yoojin. You are a strange person. You look like a farmer, but it’s the first time I’ve heard of a farmer who can defeat knights.”
“I’m a bit strong.”
“…Yoojin. Did you perhaps come here to become a knight of Revillidi?”
“That’s not it. I came to ask the lord something… but seeing Baroness Revillidi, my mind is changing. Becoming the baroness’s knight doesn’t sound bad either.”
“I’m a little worried about your status, but it’s good to have a strong knight, especially with the uneasy atmosphere these days. Yoojin, please become my knight.”
“I will. My lady.”
I rolled my tongue sensually. Baroness Revillidi gave an awkward smile.
I knelt on one knee and bowed my head.
“…Please get up, Yoojin. We’ll prepare a separate knighting ceremony and hold it tomorrow.”
“No. I’d like to keep it simple.”
I reached out my hand to her. The baroness reflexively reached out her hand. I kissed the back of her hand.
*Chup.* *Chup chup chup.*
I sucked on the back of her hand, leaving a kiss mark. The surprised baroness quickly pulled her hand away.
“I am now the baroness’s knight.”
“Thank you, Yoojin. I promise you generous treatment. You said you came to ask my husband something?”
“Yes. But the lord is…”
“Sir Yoojin, since you are now a knight of Revillidi, I’ll be honest. My husband is bedridden. This is a well-known fact, but… my husband probably won’t last a month.”
The baroness’s face was gloomy.
“Oh dear… There’s nothing I can do.”
“It’s okay. What were you curious about, Sir Yoojin?”
“The rainbow fruit.”
“…That rainbow fruit from the legends?”
“Yes. That rainbow fruit.”
“…I see. I understand why you came to see my husband.”
The baroness nodded as if she understood something. Conversely, I felt puzzled. I came to the lord to ask about the legend. It wasn’t something to immediately understand. The main reason I sought out the lord was because of the power he held.
“You look like you don’t understand. Didn’t you come here after hearing that my husband has been investigating the rainbow fruit for years?”
“Ah, no. That’s right, I did.”
In any case, it meant I had come to the right place.
“I’ll have the butler show you the materials. It’s a precious collection, but… it’s nothing compared to your worth, Sir Yoojin. Such a legend. It’s absurd, isn’t it? Honestly, I don’t understand why you’re chasing such a ridiculous legend… but I won’t ask too deeply.”
The baroness’s voice changed slightly, becoming irritable. The rainbow fruit must have been her trigger.
“Baroness.”
“Yes, Sir Yoojin. Please speak. Is there anything else you want?”
“The price of loyalty.”
“…I’ll make sure you’re well compensated. Let’s discuss the details tomorrow.”
“No. I want to finish the discussion today.”
“Don’t you think it’s too late?”
“It won’t take long. Please make time for me in about three hours.”
“…Yes. I will. You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Would you like to dine with us?”
“Haha. How could I refuse the baroness’s dinner invitation? I will gladly attend.”
In the dining hall, I met the baroness’s son and daughter. The son looked about 10 years old and intelligent, and the daughter seemed to be about 8 years old and very shy.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Sung Yoojin, the new knight of Revillidi. Please call me Yoojin.”
***
After dinner, I was guided by the butler to the lord’s study.
It was a place filled with the smell of old paper and ink. The butler pointed to a bookshelf on one side of the study.
“All the materials on this bookshelf are the lord’s collection about the rainbow fruit.”
“Oh. Impressive. I came to the right place.”
“Do you need any help?”
“No. There are materials here, what help do I need? I’ll look through them myself, so you can go now.”
“Understood.”
The butler left the study. I took out the materials on the bookshelf and placed them on the desk. I examined them one by one.
‘Ah, right. The language is a problem… Huh? This language is the same as the letters in Park Suho’s tattoo world?’
After entering the dungeon, people’s words naturally sounded like Korean, so I didn’t realize it was the language of the tattoo world.
‘Since this is a dungeon… was it created based on somewhere in Park Suho’s tattoo world?’
No matter how much I pondered, I couldn’t come up with an accurate answer. I focused on the information about the rainbow fruit.
After looking at the materials for a while, I frowned.
‘What is this? Why are they all different?’
The contents of the legends about the rainbow fruit were slightly different. There were even legends that called it the hell apple, not the rainbow fruit.
‘That old woman… what did she say? That a tyrannical king ate the rainbow fruit and committed suicide out of remorse? But here, it says that it was not the king but a duke who ate the fruit… and there, it says that a knight became a hero after eating the rainbow fruit.’
There were many different versions of the legends. But there was one thing in common. The endings of the legends were all similar. They all ended badly.
A noblewoman who gained wisdom after eating the rainbow fruit became a prostitute due to the jealousy of the queen.
A knight who gained mysterious powers after eating the rainbow fruit was killed by his own child.
A count who gained eternal life after eating the rainbow fruit was dragged to hell by a demon that suddenly appeared.
‘This is a very unlucky fruit.’
I shook my head after looking at the materials. I was thinking too simply. I needed to compile the materials and weed out the unnecessary ones, which was also a huge task.
‘It would be nice if Yuria was here. Yuria would probably sort everything out in less than 30 minutes.’
But I couldn’t summon Yuria. The cooldown was still in effect.
‘If I summon Elena, she’ll get angry. She’ll say, “Did you summon me for such a trivial matter?”’
Suddenly, I thought of the random summon skill. Could I summon a useful subordinate with a random summon? It was a gamble because it was random, but I could summon a stunning beauty like Miryeong.
‘This is reality, but it’s also a dungeon. If I summon someone dangerous in the dungeon, I can just escape the dungeon alone.’
The summoned being shares my stats. Even if I summoned a dangerous being, I wouldn’t die immediately.
‘Should I do it? I have enough points… Damn it. It’s on cooldown.’
I had used the skill to summon Miryeong, and the cooldown wasn’t over yet.
‘I’ll have to pass it on to Kang Seoksu tomorrow.’
I put a few good materials in my inventory. There was a high chance of getting caught stealing, but I could just say I took them to read in my room. If I didn’t get caught, I’d just keep them.
‘Damn it. I keep thinking about the random summon. This is the same symptom as when I do random draws.’
My hands were itching.
***
Baroness Revillidi kept her promise. She and I faced each other to discuss the price of loyalty, that is, my salary.
She handed me a document.
“This is a certificate granting you a small village a little ways from the city, Sir Yoojin. The population is 120, and the village name is… Ah, can you read, Sir Yoojin?”
“I can.”
“…Most farmers can’t read.”
“I’m special.”
I handed the document back to her. The baroness’s eyebrows twitched.
“…You don’t like it?”
“That’s not it. I don’t need a territory. I don’t need a salary either. There’s only one thing I want.”
She sighed.
“Hoo. Shall I guess what you want, Sir Yoojin?”
“Oh, do you know?”
“The butler told me. He said you took some materials about the rainbow fruit. You want the materials about the rainbow fruit, right? Sir, to be honest, I can’t trust you yet. So, I can’t give you the materials right away. At least three months. If you work in this castle for three months…”
“Baroness. I’m sorry to interrupt, but I didn’t steal the materials. I just took them to my room to read. If I had intended to steal them, I would have taken all of them.”
“…If you say so, I’ll believe you for now. Then what is it that you want?”
“It’s you.”
I stood up and closed the distance between me and the baroness.
“…!!”
The baroness’s mouth fell open. I quickly reached out and covered her mouth. She struggled. She was careless. Perhaps it was because of the friendly dinner, or maybe she thought I was truly loyal, but she faced me without a single guard.
‘Well, even if there were guards, the result wouldn’t change.’
The baroness’s trembling eyes looked towards the door. There would be a maid waiting outside the door. But the maid didn’t know what was happening inside the room right now.
“Baroness, the price of my loyalty is your body. Let me taste the body of the most noble woman in this city.”
I licked the baroness’s white neck. From the first time I saw her, this neck had caught my eye.
Usually, she would resist more fiercely, but the baroness’s eyes trembled, and then she stopped resisting.
“Baroness, have you given up already?”
She stared at me with unwavering eyes. She grabbed my right wrist. It was a sign to move away.
Her composed attitude piqued my curiosity.
‘If it goes wrong, it goes wrong.’
Satisfying my curiosity came first. I removed my hand from her mouth.
The baroness didn’t scream. She maintained her composure in this situation.
“I know what you want. Why didn’t you just say so?”
I laughed. I found her lack of panic amusing.
“Did you expect it?”
“I had a vague idea that you wanted me. From the first time we met, your gaze as you looked at my face, neck, and body was strangely sensual.”
“You’re sensitive to gazes.”
“I was half-doubtful at first. But now I’m sure.”
“So, what are you going to do?”
“Why are you asking the obvious? You know it too. I want your loyalty, the loyalty of the strongest knight.”
The baroness became even more attractive. I grabbed her chest. She didn’t resist. I pulled down the shoulder area of her dress with my forearm, loosening it, and then grabbed her breast. C cup. The tips of her slightly sagging breasts had bright red nipples that exuded their presence.
“My loyalty is yours, Baroness.”
“…I’ll send a trustworthy maid to you. Follow the maid’s guidance and come to my room secretly.”
“Now I’m the problem. I can’t trust the baroness. You could call the knights and soldiers and set a trap to kill me. I need proof of trust.”
“I understand what you mean.”
The baroness grabbed the hem of her dress and lifted it. Her white legs and the fancy navy blue panties covering her genitals were visible. I lowered my pants, took out my penis, and went between her legs. I pushed her panties aside and placed my penis against her vagina. I grabbed my penis and moved the head up and down, stimulating her vagina.
And a moment later, a muffled moan melted into the air.
