Chapter 109 – Welcome to Golem Trouble (11)
“Yes?”
I was blown away by my intelligent reply. After swearing in my mouth about 10 times, I forced myself into a smile.
“Sorry. I think the expression of my hometown came out in my own words because I was worried. It was a mistake, so can you move on?”
“Ah, yes. I forgot you were a foreigner because of your fluent pronunciation.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Thank you Lehu. The wizard guild representative continued to stare at me after saying that.
What the fuck Because I don’t know.
“Again, I know very little about the course of what has happened. And I’m terribly sorry for returning a question to a question, but I don’t know why you thought it had something to do with golems and warlocks.”
It is true that black magic and earth golems go well together.
Magically, ‘soil’ was a rare material that symbolized the birth and death of life at the same time. Isn’t there an expression, ‘the white bone is extinguished’?
Soil is a place where life is born, but on the other hand, it is also a place where living things that have lost their lives return.
So, even for black magicians who deal with darkness and negative mana, soil was a good magic material. Like kimchi in curry, kimchi in ramen, and kimchi in kimchi fried rice, they are a good match for each other.
That’s why many warlocks carry earth golems.
It seems that there are also ragged golems that developed this golem manufacturing technology.
‘But that doesn’t mean that the large number of golems = the warlock is the cause, but the theory feels like a hit.’
Do you have any evidence? Thinking about that, I asked the question, and the lady from the Guild Guild said.
“Because a golem appeared in the hideout we found last time. It is certain that the warlock is a master at crafting golems.”
“Ah. I have heard rumors among citizens.”
It’s like what Dorca said when I was single. It was said that monsters appeared in the lair of goblins and warlocks.
Actually, I had a rendezvous with Jammin from another world at the ruins where monsters were said not to appear.
“Okay. I wondered why talented people like you all gathered to deal with the golems, but they were all working hard for the peace of Sargadis. This is true I respect you as a citizen of Sargadis.”
I felt like I was admiring him, but he flattered me like that. Receive the 21st-century wisdom learned in the military and social life!
Some of the coalition members were pleased with my flattery or started to shrug. The one who showed off the most arrogantly was the lady from the Gilfi Guild, whose mouth was hanging from her ears.
“You know that. Yes. Our coalition is a group gathered to prepare for the possibility that this is a warlock’s conspiracy. Oh, of course it was our Gilfi Guild that started.”
“You are wonderful. By the way, from what I heard in Haysbent, this incident seems to have been known as an incident in which golems appeared in ancient ruins?”
“Haha. That’s how it was announced externally. Wouldn’t it be trouble if the warlock noticed? In fact, there has been an analysis that the soil that makes up the golem is from a fairly deep stratum.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Are you foreign? What the fuck does that mean?
If so, what you’re telling me right now is that it’s a confidential matter that’s not public, you guys. No, why did Betak, who had just been promoted to private, sit down to reveal secrets to Jjamchisek?
Fuck this. The feeling of being helplessly pulled into the heart of the case gave me a slight chill.
What should I say? It feels like being involved in a gangster, riding in a police car with detectives, and listening to stories about the arrest of drug offenders.
Damn, how did I end up in such a troubled place? Today, I was going to rest well and play with Frank and the fountain show.
Life is truly unpredictable.
“Hmm. That’s why, since this case might be the work of a warlock, you’ve been asking for opinions from a third-rate adventurer like me.”
“There is nothing to be humble about. So——what do you think, Mr. Nord?”
It’s not about being humble. I used civil servant-style speech to pass the time and confuse.
‘Should I just run away?’
No, I don’t think this is a very good way.
If the bastard who was talking well until just now suddenly said that he didn’t know what he was talking about, it would only raise suspicion.
Even if it’s not, the situation is right next to the representative of the idiot guard who says ‘let’s think about the suspect’! If you are stigmatized as a disquieting red, it will be difficult to live in the future.
Besides, if a real warlock plot is involved, Sargadis could be screwed.
Let me answer seriously here.
“Before reasoning, there is one thing to think about. About why the black magician did this.”
“Are you talking about a motive?”
“It is not. Ordinary people like me, or brilliant heroes like you, can’t understand the mindset of lowly criminals.”
“You are absolutely right.”
The captain of the guard nodded his head.
As many say, the most foolish thing in the world is trying to understand people who don’t understand.
If I understood the dog poop philosophy of the human-beetle puppies who grow rhinoceros beetle larvae in their bodies, only my crime rate would be screwed up.
“The whole race of warlocks is nothing more than madmen or lunatics, but anyone who can do something like this will have his brain flying. Magic is not the study of fools.”
“It is.”
“Yes. So we have to think like this. ‘What is a black magician trying to do by doing such a remarkable thing?'”
“Aha, that would allow me to guess the maniac’s purpose, even if I don’t understand his thoughts.”
─Exactly! The representative of the wizard’s guild snapped his fingers. Unbeknownst to a sorcerer with a small back, he’s a person who has a good reaction.
“Exactly. If I were the owner of the golems, I’d collect them and hide them in one place until I fulfilled my purpose. It is foolish to draw attention by neglecting it without sincerity like that. Therefore, we can make three hypotheses.”
I said, pointing my finger.
“One. The golem was in an uncontrollable situation. Two. I think it doesn’t matter if it gets caught. Three. I am hoping to get caught.”
“… I don’t know.”
The golden archer crossed his arms and muttered.
“I understand the first one. It makes sense if you’re injured or if you didn’t have the ability to control it from the start. But what is the difference between the second and the third?”
“Whoop whoop. Not much different.”
It was the representative of the wizard guild who stepped forward and answered. He spoke with the characteristics of a person from another world, an explanation bug.
“The hypothesis that it doesn’t matter if you get caught has the premise that ‘you can still achieve your goal’ or ‘you have to move quickly because it’s good even if you get caught’. But ‘wanting to be found out’ means—”
“It means a trap.”
Gilfi Guild Auntie snatched the conclusion. ─Territt! The two wizards had a snowball fight, flirting with each other.
Are you on bad terms? I heard that the Gylfi Guild is a Mensa-like guild focused on highly educated people. Or maybe the two of them have a bad relationship personally.
Fortunately, their snowball fight was mediated by the captain of the guard.
“I want you two to keep your body tight. Rather, when it comes to traps, are you saying those golems are buckets?”
“Okay. It seems that he meant that too.”
“You’re right. Aggro– Excuse me. You can think of it as something done on purpose to attract attention.”
─Tok tok. Among the pushpins on the map, I hit the part marked ‘Golem Source’.
“To be honest, those golems are weak monsters that me and my colleagues can easily catch. So, without your bravery, adventurers would have headed there to collect golem cores.”
“Did the warlock aim for that?”
“It could have been aimed at. If you use it as a human sacrifice or material for the undead, it’s not a loss. As madmen whose brains have been eaten by worms, if they were even planning a raid on the city, they might have thought of reducing our forces in advance.”
“Okay. There are quite a few adventurers who have already left to hunt golems.”
Hmmm. Do I need to know that? Anyway, all this bullshit is my brain.
Maybe it’s just a lucky golem event that gives a lot of experience.
“Since there is no clear evidence, all of my words are just speculation. However, if the possible cases are divided as mentioned above, we are at a crossroads.”
“A crossroads of choice?”
“It’s a crossroads between whether to take the warlock down quickly, considering the warlock to be in a hurry without thinking about it, or whether to consider it a trap and thoroughly prepare for it. This is your choice, so I don’t think I can interfere.”
At this time! I said in a sweet pumpkin so that there was no refutation.
“Anyway, I think I’ve said everything I thought. I will go back now.”
“Yes? No, stay with me.”
The bewildered wizard guild representative opened his eyes wide and cast Hihi Mogga. However, Myung Kyung Ji Soo’s clear mind didn’t budge.
‘Oh shit I don’t know. I’m going to hit Shimai and go home.’
It’s a playful baby. My baby says she needs to wash the Mamang Chow Chow dispenser. Since I’m busy, the rest of the work is fighting with those who earn a lot of money.
“Talented people like you shouldn’t be swayed by the words of an adventurer like me who lacks public confidence and lacks reputation. I hope you will use my opinion as a reference.”
When I brushed my teeth, the guard licked his lips and said.
“Oh, sorry… So, why don’t we take a break for a while? I’ll clear up the story to my men.”
“Let’s do that.”
At those words, the union members also began to move.
Let me jump fast too. If I keep pretending to be a mystery vending machine, those humans might catch me and tie me up and say something like ‘Where is the warlock? Damn, I’m not the mirror of Snow White’s mother.
─Rurr.
But what the fuck, why are you following me? It’s not self-consciousness, it’s a real feeling that each guild representative is chasing me.
Is this a request for countless handshakes or something?
At that time, Gilfi Guild Auntie, who was at the front, said.
She said, “You said Mr. Nord of the Auduumra guild, right? Whoop whoop. Are you by any chance dissatisfied with the treatment of Auduumla Guild?”
“Hey. Are you planning on stealing our guild’s adventurers right in front of me?”
At the lady’s words, the golden archer gave a slight impression. Then the aunt laughed hohoho.
“Oh. I’m sorry, Carlyle. But if that sounds like it, wouldn’t it be the fault of the guild branch manager who can’t run the guild properly?”
“… Tsk.”
Swish-.
The Golden Archer tried to say something to me at her aunt’s provocation, but he just walked away.
No, but damn, he was the branch manager. You were surprised.
Why is Gilma’s agent on the subject of trouble? I wonder if it’s a joke.
Having been headhunted by the president of another company in front of the company president, I didn’t know what to do.
“Whoops. Dual affiliation with the Adventurer’s Guild is prohibited, right?”
Then the representative of the wizard guild intervened.
“The Adventurers’ Guild Alliance will give permission for requests from other guilds if they are Platinum class or higher, but Mr. Nord will have to wait until those intolerant old people give up their qualifications.”
“Cromwell. Please don’t interfere.”
“Aren’t I qualified to talk too? Gylfi Guild Sargadis Branch Master?”
“… Tsk. Anyway Mr. Nord. We will always welcome you, so please visit our Gilfi Guild when your heart is moved. Isn’t a wise man supposed to be around people who see his worth?”
A lady who clicks her tongue and speaks softly. But my eyes didn’t miss her tongue licking her lips.
And from the ring finger of the left hand to the sparkling jewel ring!
‘Hmm, fuck it.’
I knew it intuitively. This lady is the type I should avoid.
The incarnation of a polygamist who pampers her talented husband a lot!
She had a hunch that if this woman was wrong, she would be sucked out day and night, and she would be a badass in 10 years.
“Heh, heh. I’m sorry, but the lover who promised the future belongs to Auduumra. You’ll need a top.”
“Oh my goodness. I’m sorry about that. Still, please think about it?”
─Such.
Let’s not stealthily scan someone’s jawline. Ugh, what a fucking manly thing. I saw her off with her forced laugh at her feeling of getting goosebumps.
─Swipe.
The representative of the Wizard Guild, who was left alone, looked at the Sekhmet Guild camp. It was to see if the other side would also participate in the countless handshake requests.
“Zzz…”
However, Nefertiti was sleeping face down on the desk like a high school student sleeping after eating during lunchtime.
What the heck is that person living like that bitch my way when he sweats? Let’s start to respect you.
“Hmm. Mr Nord. My name is Buzzrude Cromwell.”
The representative of the wizard guild who beat the competitor said.
“Thank you for your insightful advice. After hearing your story, my eyes widened too. Thanks to that, the framework of the operation seems to have been roughed up.”
Saying so, Cromwell offered to shake hands.
It was the maximum expression of gratitude he could express, a position where he could not easily bow his head in front of others.
