Chapter 281 – Ep.280 Goldias Kingdom
Exactly two days after passing through the gates of Vittorio Kingdom, we crossed the border of Goldias Kingdom. And we will soon arrive at the gate.
I had been spending my time leisurely rolling around with Nyaho, but it wasn’t until I reached the gate of Goldias that I started to get busy.
“Do you have any problems such as difficulty seeing or difficulty breathing?”
“It’s a little frustrating, but it’s bearable.”
I put the white mask Shio Rin gave me on her face and answered her question.
At a little distance away, Nyaho and Nemea were looking around at me.
“Mr. Seobang, her height and physique are so great that she doesn’t have to disguise herself, and if she just covers her face, everyone will think she’s a woman.”
“I agree. It looks especially like that since it’s winter and her body is wrapped tightly. What. “It’s a bit of a bummer that her chest is too flat, but she’s not a real woman, so it’s not something she should worry about.”
“That’s right.”
Nyaho and Neme Anim looked around at me and nodded their heads.
Some people may have inferred from the conversation between the two, but it is true that the reason I suddenly put on a white mask and dressed too much was to avoid being discovered that I was a man.
Since the country we are now entering is a country that has been completely tainted by Petrism, such preparation was essential to avoid any trouble.
Because Petrumism is a place where women whisper about their love and men are treated as lesser than slaves.
According to the information provided by Kalm, all apostles of the Petrum Church are currently active in the Kingdom of Goldias.
The number of apostles is twelve in total, including Kalm.
Among them, there are six apostles who were educated by me along with Kalm.
The majority are turning their backs on the Petrine Church and acting as spies.
For that reason, if you are careful about the three cities you will pass, including the gateway, it will be the territory of the apostles who have been enlightened to me, and from then on you will no longer have to wear such a stuffy mask. Because the forest between the third and fourth cities was the border area designated by Kalm.
“We will probably have to wait for permission from the gate for about two days. It may be frustrating, but please bear with me until then. “Mr. West.”
I patted Nyaho’s head as she looked up at me with an apologetic look and nodded her head.
Lovers may not know this, but I am actually a very quiet man.
Four years ago, he fell into the desert, was captured by slave hunters, and was taken in by Sister Amela to do odd jobs at the guild.
There was a time when the male receptionists who existed at the time asked me to do various annoying chores, so I pretended not to understand and kept my mouth shut for a while. As long as half a year.
‘Nice… On second thought, I don’t know how I survived.’
If I were the person I am now, I would have the strength to last even a day. If Nyaho in front of you right now is held in your arms and is cute, the corners of his mouth will soften and he will whisper several times that he loves you.
In the first place, it’s ridiculous to compare ourselves to those damn bastards.
‘I don’t know if those motherfuckers are doing well.’
Those guys who were my ‘seniors’ whose names I don’t even remember anymore.
No. Now that I think about it, their names weren’t in my head from the beginning. Okay. Memorize the names of these damn men and use them somewhere.
Anyway, I heard that the capital was also taken away and is acting like a seedbed, but I don’t know if that can really be called punishment.
What. It would be a punishment for the men here who are reluctant to women and have a low sexual desire.
When I think about how all the female thieves who participated in the plan had their breasts beaten with iron clubs, I realize once again that the treatment of women and men is so different that it brings me to tears.
‘When we meet again someday, I will definitely throw them both into the well.’
There will be a small commotion, but since the king also has Ardel, I don’t think there will be any problem. Moreover, the temple of abundance looked upon me favorably, and Nemea, a very great person, even cared for me.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to visit the capital sometime and look for those bastards.
Widely. Widely. Widely.
A sound coming from the wall connected to the coach seat.
It was a signal that we would soon arrive at the gate.
“Then, I will go inside first. “I’ll join you in due course, so don’t worry about it.”
After saying those words, Nemea lifted the blackout curtain and jumped out of the moving carriage.
A pure white robe engraved with six pairs of wings symbolizing the fertility god Lapitera. Neme or Neme refused to take off his robe or put anything on it, so he just jumped down.
Since you’re Nemea, wouldn’t you just jump over the gate wall and come inside?
“Ah, Mr. Smith. If anyone asks you to take off your mask, do it from top to bottom. “Put it down just below your eyes.”
“… Is that okay?”
“Yes. Are you okay. Just trust me~ hehe.”
I don’t know what she prepared, but she probably doesn’t know that when she sees that innocent smile, any faith she had will disappear.
“Then, I will undo all the magic I had placed on you.”
A small magic wand that looked like a tree branch waved once in the air. There was no visual change. Instead.
Hwii profit.
Immediately, the blackout curtain fluttered, a cold wind blew in, the silence was broken, and several people’s voices began to be heard.
“West… Big. Mr. Smith. Would you like to get off?”
I nodded, thinking I had turned to stone.
Nyaho got off first, and Mr. Shiorin and I followed behind him.
Whoa!
As soon as I got off the carriage, a strong wind blew.
‘Performance is solid.’
Before putting on thick clothes, I placed the magical power token in my groin. And before getting off, I activated the second function.
Thanks to this, I was able to not feel the slightest cold even when the cold wind touched my skin.
Cheolgruguk-
I turned my head to the familiar sound of metal screeching.
Dark night sky.
A huge wall standing against the bright yellow moonlight.
Dozens of torches flickering above.
A well-armed knight and several soldiers approached us, and on our side, Nyaho stepped forward.
She took out a black card that she had given me once from her arms, held it out to the approaching knight, and said,
“It is called Nyaho at the top of the black line.”
“Hmm. “Can you tell me your purpose and destination?”
After taking a quick look at the black card, the knight treated Nyaho very politely.
“I happened to hear that a rare item was being sold at an auction in Avidor, so I came to check it out for myself.”
“I see. “Let me take a quick look in the luggage compartment.”
As the driver nodded, the two soldiers next to him climbed into the luggage compartment.
The driver handed the card in his hand to Nyaho and looked at the face of Rin Nawashio, who was standing behind him.
“Are you the escorts?”
“That’s right.”
“… “I don’t think the Lady of the Black Cat will do that, but rules are rules, so I’m sorry, but you will have to take off your mask.”
The driver looked straight at me.
‘Just slightly below the eyes.’
Before getting off the luggage compartment, I heard something from Shio Rin, so I carefully placed my hand on the mask covering her face. Then he very carefully pulled down the mask.
That was exactly when the mask came down to below the eyes. I saw embarrassment on the driver’s face as he looked up at me.
“Excuse me. Stop, stop… “It’s okay to wear a mask.”
I’m not sure, but I quickly put up my mask. Just then, the soldiers who had climbed into the luggage compartment returned.
“Nothing wrong.”
“I get it. “I have to report it to the higher-ups, so I will have a soldier deliver the permit around noon tomorrow.”
“All right.”
“And the carriage…”
The knight said, glancing at Drake, who was standing there snorting loudly.
“There is no inn that can handle it, so we will take care of it.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“No. “Then please go in.”
When the knight waved his hand, the tightly closed gate opened wide.
**
We entered the gate without difficulty, left the carriage and Drake ‘El’ with the soldiers, and entered the inn recommended by the knight.
“Welcome~!!”
Lively and youthful.
“Is it you?”
A simple-faced boy less than half my height approached me with a bright smile.
In addition, I could see boys of similar physique smiling brightly, serving drinks and meals to soldiers and adventurers who appeared to be there.
“Please prepare 10 servings of meat dishes. “I will also be staying overnight, so please take the two best rooms.”
Nyaho smiled as she put a gold coin from her bosom into the boy’s hand.
“Come over here!!”
The boy smiled as if flowers would bloom on his face and led the way inside.
“I’ll prepare the food right away!! “Don’t you need a drink?”
“How are you?”
Nyaho asked me and I nodded slightly. I was at an age where I longed for cold beer.
“What kind of alcohol sells well?”
“Seouri dark beer made with fermented winter black pepper is popular!!”
“With that… Are you going to eat it too?”
“Yes. “Please give me a drink too.”
“Please bring me four dark beers.”
“Yes!! Please wait for a moment!!”
The boy quickly disappeared into the kitchen.
I rolled my eyes in surprise at the surprising lack of interest in us. Since I was wearing a mask, I felt comfortable not having to worry about this.
‘That’s strange.’
Young, green male employees are laughing and sitting next to drunk or excited women, making them happy.
He subtly reached out and touched his buttocks, and the adventurer, who was wearing quite expensive equipment, even boldly hugged his waist and had a drink.
It was a rare sight that could never be seen in Mallingta.
Looking at Nyaho and Shiorin not being very surprised or reacting, it seems like this is something that is not often seen in other cities.
Well, they say they are reluctant to women and have a low sexual desire, but they get married and have children anyway, so it wouldn’t be too strange if there were guys like that. However, the reason I thought it was strange was…
“I brought beer first!!”
The boy who had just disappeared into the kitchen placed a large glass of beer topped with thick cream on the table.
“I’ll bring the food right away!!”
I spoke energetically and ran back to the kitchen. I blinked as I looked at the boy’s back as he walked away.
‘It’s strange as expected.’
If I’m not mistaken, this country has been completely taken over by Petrism. Just looking at the fact that the temple forces have been completely driven out, it is clear that the Church of Petrum has no intention of hiding this fact.
It’s a bit strange that they, who have blatantly expelled the temple forces out of the country, leave the men alone.
Because Petrism is a group that pursues love between women.
I don’t know if they were treating the man like a slave, but it was strange to see them giggling next to him like that.
I was reaching for the beer on the table, thinking that I would talk about this later when I joined Nemea.
‘Fuck. Now that I think about it, I’m wearing a mask.’
I quickly gestured to Mr. Shiorin, who was sitting across from me.
“Hmm?”
Hmm? No, how do I do this?
… With that meaning in mind, I knocked on the mask diligently.
“Ah, I forgot.”
“…”
“Lol.”
It was a smile that truly made you want to hit your head.
“Wait a minute.”
Ms. Shio Lin stood up briefly and reached for her mask.
Tuk. Tuk-tuk.
“Done.”
She sits back down and laughs heartily. I touched the mask with my hand to see what had changed.
‘Oh…’
Then I could see that a hole had formed just around her mouth.
After all, he is a capable wizard.
Hehe.”
‘… Ugh.’
When I saw people foaming around their mouths and saying they liked it, I had a strange feeling that my trust was steadily dropping even though I knew they were competent.
The moment I tried to lift the glass in front of me and bring it to my mouth.
“The dish you ordered has arrived!! “Stews and whole roasts made using black deer hind legs are especially popular at our inn!!”
The boy who had disappeared earlier came back and placed greasy venison and stew on the table. My mouth watered when I saw fatty meat for the first time in a long time.
“Tskcha.”
“… ?”
While I was concentrating on cooking, I suddenly turned my head when I heard a sound next to me.
The boy who brought the food did not go back, but sat next to me and smiled brightly.
“Could it be a distraction?”
The boy blinked his eyes and tilted his head.
If an older guy had done that, he would have immediately sworn or punched me in the face. However, the boy sitting next to him was still a young child with fluffy fur.
I looked around again.
I saw boys sitting among the women and serving them.
The boy sitting next to me probably sat for a similar reason.
‘It would be better to just leave him sitting here rather than somewhere else.’
I don’t hate cool guys. Especially if it’s a child.
When I shook my head, the boy smiled broadly and nodded.
“Thank you!!”
Then he got up, cut the meat with a fork and knife in front of me, and boldly put it to my mouth.
“Please eat!! “It tastes better when you eat it while it’s warm!!”
“…”
Anyway, it’s a bit much for a man to feed me.
I took the fork out of his hand and put the meat in my mouth myself. It was worth eating.
Without giving up, the guy sat next to me and chattered about various things. I listened with one ear and let it out with the other and filled my stomach. Refreshing yet bitter taste. Plus soft cream. Mallingta’s beer was clearly trash.
The meal was almost over.
“You’re very strong as an adventurer, right?”
“… ?”
The boy looked up at me, gently touching my forearm.
“This is my first time feeling such firm and thick muscles!!”
“…”
Boy. My muscles are a bit strong.
Perhaps because of the alcohol, I got excited easily.
I slightly rolled her eyes, wondering if Nya Ho was saying something to the boy. Fortunately, Nyaho didn’t seem to be very interested in the boy. He’s probably a man, not a woman. It seems like it’s because he’s a young boy.
“Adventurer, did you come here after hearing the rumors?”
“… ?”
Rumor? What is that.
When I shook my head, the boy said with surprised eyes.
“Uh? Didn’t you know? There’s a rumor that a labyrinth was discovered around here!! “The adventurers who came before said that it has already spread to other kingdoms.”
For the first time, I was interested in what the boy said.
That’s because I almost got kidnapped while going out to investigate that labyrinth.
If it’s a joke and a labyrinth, that’s it.
An artificial relic whose creation is unknown.
Well, why do you call it a labyrinth when you can just call it an ancient ruin?
That’s because the road leading to the ruins is twisted like a maze, filled with dangerous traps and rare monsters that aren’t easily seen on the continent.
The boy realized that I was starting to become interested and started talking about things he knew. I thought while listening to that story.
‘It seems like a trap.’
A story about a labyrinth being discovered and a fragment of a stone tablet with ancient magic written on it. As the rumor spread, adventurers blinded by greed began to visit this place.
There is nothing strange about it up to this point. Adventurers are always driven by money.
The problem is that the boy never once mentioned what happened to the adventurers who entered the labyrinth.
Although the labyrinth is dangerous, there are many cases where you feel your limit and return halfway through. The labyrinth is complicated and dangerous, but it is not an ant hell where you cannot get out once you enter.
Many adventurers came.
There was no mention of who or what party had discovered anything, nor was there any mention of giving up and returning.
‘I’m going crazy because I can’t speak.’
I was wondering if I should at least write a letter and ask.
“Did you say that a stone tablet with ancient magic written on it was discovered?”
“Yes? Ah yes.”
“Have you ever seen it?”
“No. I couldn’t see it in person because the drivers took it away. Still, the adventurer I saw from afar drew the pattern on the stone tablet and gave it to me!!”
“Okay? “Can you please show me?”
“Sure. Please wait for a moment!!”
At Shiorin’s request, the boy got up from the chair and ran somewhere. And soon after, he returned with a neatly folded piece of paper.
“This is it!!”
The boy carefully unfolded the paper and placed it on the table.
Not only Mr. Shiorin, but also Nyaho and I looked at the unfolded paper with interest.
-Sex
That’s what it said on the paper.
In straight Korean.
