91. Beguesetta’s Lamb
(1)
Taesan kicked off her feet and flew through the air. And then I stepped into the air again.
[You activated an air jump.]
Taat.
My body accelerated in the air and was hidden in the forest. The distance was not too far, so
I was able to
reach it immediately after stepping on a tree branch and leaping .
“Heh heck heck.”
A girl was running away with a heavy breath. black hair and black eyes. It was a girl in her late teens with long, semi-curly hair.
Although he looked exhausted, there was a luxurious atmosphere that could not be hidden. However, the clothes were frayed and dirty like a beggar’s. It looked like it hadn’t been washed for a long time, and dirt was visible on its face.
“Is that a demon’s child?”
[The overall appearance is black. It is true that the child of the demon tribe is right.]
Taesan watched from the top of the tree. An arrow landed right in front of the girl who was running away in a cold sweat.
The girl involuntarily backed away. At the same time, the girl’s ankle was tied with a rope as if the trap under the bush had been activated.
The girl’s face turned pale. She quickly cut the string and tried to run away, but it took just enough time for
her pursuers to arrive .
“Whew, I ate.”
Several men appear. A boisterous man whistles at the girl.
“As expected, princess. Is there a reason you haven’t been caught for 10 years? A pro at running away. Pro.”
“You…
The girl bites her lip. Men pull out equipment.
“I’m sorry, Princess. I need to be caught gently.”
“I’m not cheap enough to be caught by you guys.”
His tone was light, but there was tension in his eyes that he couldn’t hide. It was the first time she had been driven here since she started being chased.
“Everyone died anyway and I was left alone, so what are you doing? Isn’t it time to go see you soon?”
“profit!”
The girl moves her sword wildly.
It was a decent move, but the girl was very tired. The swinging sword had no strength
. Naturally, she was subdued by the man’s grasp.
“Ah!”
The girl falls to the ground. He begins to exhale evenly as if he has passed out.
“Good!”
Men cheer.
“We did it!”
“Finally got it!”
“Wow!”
The men start tidying up with a flushed expression.
“How much is this?”
“Because the bounty was 1,000 gold… 100 gold divided among each person, right?”
“
If it is Hya hundred gold, it is an amount that an ordinary person can live without lacking if he lives with it. They quickly became rich.
At that time, when we were chattering about what we were going to do for a living, someone said.
“Isn’t that a bit lacking?”
“What is lacking? It’s a hundred gold. One hundred gold!”
“That’s why it’s not enough.”
The man who spoke out distorted his face.
“Do you know how much gold we have spent so far? A whopping 60 gold.”
“Isn’t that the gold we all shared and used?”
“No, most of it is my money!”
The man raised his voice harshly.
“I shared almost all of the cost of tracking, commissioning, and silence! Forty gold out of sixty ?
I’ve spent all the money I’ve saved my whole life!”
Even if it was 100 gold for a man, he only gained 60 gold. The man had no intention of being so satisfied.
“So what?”
“Give me more.”
“what?”
In an instant, the atmosphere turned violent—the man held out his hand.
“All of you only have 90 gold. I will have 190 gold.” “…You said
you would take
90 gold after spending 40 gold ?”
“The value of money is a different law. My 40 gold is worth 90 gold now.”
the man said proudly. In the still silence, someone murmured gloomily.
“Do you think we will allow that?”
“Follow me if you don’t like it.”
In a bloody look, he stealthily takes out his weapon and starts to pick it up.
The ghost snorted. [
Can lowly things keep
their loyalty in front of money ?]
It was not a new look to Taesan. It was not uncommon to hear that when the Somali pirates disappeared after collecting the money, half of the pirates died at their hands when they were found again.
Only one man was restless in the threatening atmosphere. The pale-faced man opened his mouth.
“Hey, it’s just me…
“Can you join me too?”
Taishan bounced off a branch and landed in their midst. They raised their voices in
the overheated atmosphere and widened their distance in surprise.
“…black hair?”
“A demon?”
“No no. The color is pale.”
Hearing their murmurs, Taesan realized.
‘Are demons perfectly black?’
The girl’s figure was also black, as if absorbing light. It is said that Asians have black hair and black eyes, but there are many brown people, and there are many cases where they are not completely black. Taesan was such a case.
“…Who are you.”
“The person who has business with that woman.”
At those words, the men’s eyes widened dangerously. Taesan judged them to be competitors and quickly drew their weapons.
Peeing!
Eight men rushed at the same time as the arrows flew. Only the man with the soft face looks at the men hesitantly rushing at in bewilderment.
“After fighting to death, the connection is good.”
Taesan moved his hand.
The arrow was caught.
Those who ran to catch the flying arrows stopped for a moment.
Taesan lightly brushed his hands. The arrow flew and pierced the head of the man who was staring blankly at the bow.
His fists shook and several afterimages were drawn.
Kwajik.
The men’s breasts are crushed and disappear. Tae-san is more surprised to see them losing their lives in one blow.
“Why die right away?”
I thought it would last for at least two generations, but it was immediately crushed and disappeared as if it had no means of defense. The ghost said as if it were natural.
[How do ordinary hunters who are not even famous swordsmen in the world survive’?]
“Even Easy Mode players endure.”
[That’s because your world is unique.]
I was embarrassed. I tried to beat them one by one and dig up information, but they all died.
“Should I be satisfied with just one person?”
The weak man who didn’t mumble and attack was alive. The man was startled by the gaze directed at him.
They are not weak’ hunters. In the first place, he would not have been able to capture the princess.
Among the bounty hunters, they are among the best, and even excellent swordsmen cannot easily break through their links.
But they all died in one blow. In addition, the process of catching the arrow, the process of throwing the arrow again, and
the process of killing his comrades were all invisible.
then it is one
‘..at least a sword master!’
The man screams inwardly and slowly backs away.
Taesan stamps her feet.
In an instant, that figure disappears. The man felt a strong force in the nape of his neck and fell to the ground.
“Kek kek!”
“Can you stand this much? It’s hard to control your strength.”
“Buy and save…
“If you just answer me, I’ll save you.”
Taesan, who had crushed the man, said calmly.
The man didn’t want to die. In addition to Taesan’s questions, he confided everything he hadn’t asked. Thanks to this,
I was able to learn more about the information of this world.
“The oracle came down ten years ago.”
“Yes, yes…
The man’s words were summarized like this.
This world was originally an ordinary world. It was a world where humans and demons separated the world in half and lived in moderate exchange.
There was a demon king, but he was a being with goodwill rather than hostility to humans, so they were living peacefully by helping each other.
The god humans believe in here
is Hamon, the god of light. The demons believed in demons. Although they believed in different gods, there were no major accidents because they respected each other.
Then, exactly ten years ago, an oracle came down from Harmon.
Kill the demons,
they say they want to kill humans,
they are enemies.
The priests who received the revelation were perplexed. It was too tyrannical and cruel for a divine oracle. They checked several times, but the revelation came again.
kill the demons
It was a statement of firm will.
And an unnatural incident by the demons broke out.
Words targeting the demons every day went back and forth, such as the fact that the serial killer who killed the village and terrorized the capital by the mad tribe of demons was actually the illegitimate son of the demon tribe.
So the confusion accelerated. The demon king was also confused and looked for the demon god, but the demon god did not give any answer.
Those who lost God also became agitated and
started to make things one by one.
And a year later the war broke out.
The demons who lost their gods were helplessly swept away. Their proud dark magic was sealed and could not harm the hard armored knight.
Treasuries were robbed by lowly beggars, and the noblest were slain by ephemeral mediocrity.
one year again.
The demon king died and the war ended.
All the demons that caught my eye
became the dew of the execution ground, and those who escaped were chased with a bounty. After a relentless pursuit, most of them were killed.
“And she… is the last princess of the demons.”
the devil’s child. The demons’ hope.
She did not manage to die and survived being chased for eight years.
“Yes, this is it.”
Taesan stroked his chin. I understand what happened.
“Okay.”
“That…
The man rolled his eyes here and there anxiously. Taesan spoke calmly.
“Answer me one more thing and I’ll let you go.”
“What are you?”
“What level are you here?”
Realizing the answer Taesan wanted, the man swallowed and answered.
“As a bounty hunter, it’s top notch. In terms of individual strength,
it is average among mercenaries, and in terms of linkage, it is possible to compete with even first-class swordsmen.”
“Yes, this is it.”
stronger than average Just at this level.
“Am I trying to be strong beyond compare?”
[Well…]
The ghost muttered.
Taesan waved his hand.
“Good. go.”
“Really?”
The man’s eyes widened. To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations that it would save me.
“Why do you send them to your friends?”
“no! no! thank you!”
The man ran away in a hurry.
‘I’m lucky!’
Now, he thought of quitting bounty hunters and returning to his hometown to start farming. The ghost said as he looked at the man who had disappeared into the forest.
[Don’t kill me?]
“Because I promised. I don’t think I’m going to kill him because he doesn’t look like
he’s going to do anything .”
Rather than subduing the princess and rejoicing, he looked at it with pity. Rather than attacking Taesan, which they felt was their competitor, they were embarrassed.
It didn’t look like that guy would do anything.
“And it doesn’t matter if you do.”
If you put your mind to it, you can break through dozens of kilometers in a day. Location wasn’t that important.
Taesan looked down at the fainting girl. His black hair was disheveled here and there
.
“I know what happened.”
Perhaps Harmon made a pact with Lucifer. I don’t know how it came about, but it must have been an agreement not to interfere with the world.
Having achieved his will, Harmon began to exterminate the demons.
The Lucifer Taesan saw was obsessed with his own. Lucifer must have been enraged when he saw the demons dying screaming his name.
and he appeared
He was a human, not a demon
, so he was free to act here. For Lucifer, the minimum good of having his own was met, so he must have thought it was okay.
That’s why she must have given the quest while taking a certain amount of damage herself.
Level up with skill
