My Villains Episode 117
30. Holiday (2)
I don’t know if this is a misunderstanding, but there seem to be a lot of talkative people in this neighborhood.
“The lord has been asking me to make a potion to heal wounds for a while now, and I can even count all the remaining black hair.”
“Is there anything missing?”
“Oh, to the point where it’s quicker to talk about what’s ready than to explain what’s lacking. If I had the talent to make a wound-healing potion without troll blood, I would have been in the royal capital rather than in a rural town like this. My lord, I am sorry that you lack common sense in this field, ma’am. Anyway, you know what kind of summoning art alchemy is.”
Ellen, who had been messing around with scones at Master Castlight’s joke, smiled lightly.
Ellen’s smile.
It was so beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
“My teacher often said that. There are too many ignorant people who know alchemy as a summoning art.”
“It’s a conflict that mages who study alchemy for nobles often face. Alchemy and magic have little to do with each other.”
“that’s right. So, are there any results?”
“I tried replacing the troll’s blood with royal jelly and cow horns, but they didn’t go well together. The cow’s horns seem to be the problem. It seems like a unicorn’s horn is needed to make a proper product…
Ellen narrowed her eyes as she sipped the chocolate mold.
“A unicorn horn instead of troll blood?”
“Yeah I know. It’s stupid. You can’t make a wound healing potion with a unicorn’s horn. The process of failure these days has always been this way.”
Master Castrite let out a sigh as his shoulders drooped. Ellen, who was tinkering with the teacup, hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth.
“Why don’t you try adding orange moss instead of gujeolcho and cow’s horns?”
“Orange moss? It’s not easy to show weakness.”
“I know a good deal. Can I help?”
“Oh, be kind. would you please Oh, did I mention there is a potion that I am researching these days? Did you bring it?”
“yes.”
“Then let’s see that too.”
The two wizards, who were in harmony, ran to the test table as if they had forgotten the existence of the baroness and me.
“Hmm, that looks like fun.”
“That’s right. I’m not usually a guy like that.”
The Baroness stared at Ellen, who was floating in the air with her wing ornaments flashing.
“Every time I see you, I feel that you are a very beautiful person. It makes me wonder if the angel next to the Lord looked like that.”
As I quietly nodded, the baroness added a comment.
“I hope you like it.”
“……yes?”
“I hope you like it. To have such a beautiful lover.”
” ah.”
I smiled awkwardly and shrugged.
“I can understand why your wife misunderstands you, but we are not like that.”
“…isn’t it?”
“yes. a colleague Ah-so close.”
“A close friend…
As the Baroness muttered, the two wizards began to light a fire in the oven.
As Master Castrite cast an incantation and scattered unknown powder, the fire turned blue and the cauldron boiled in an instant.
Orange smoke escaped through the chimney, but in the blink of an eye, the room was filled with smoke.
The baroness coughed weakly, covering her mouth, and said,
“Well, how about we go out for a while?”
“…Um, you see.”
After leaving the laboratory, the baroness shook her head, breathing in the fresh air.
“Master Castrite sometimes tends to lose sight of his surroundings when he is absorbed in something.”
“Aren’t all wizards like that? Ellen is also very focused.”
“Maybe something like that.”
The August sun was hot. I fluttered the untied tunic and suddenly asked the baroness.
“But isn’t it hot?”
The reason I asked was because of the way the baroness was dressed.
In the middle of summer, even just wearing a head scarf seemed stuffy, because the whole body was tightly wrapped in a white kirtle and green tunic. In addition, even a pair of gloves made of soft fabric was absolutely not suitable for summer.
“are you okay. I got used to this much.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to take off your gloves at least?”
M Uu 99 The third
baroness fiddled with the glove on her hand for a moment. Then I slowly take off my gloves.
Both palms and wrists were black and blue bruised.
“…uh. sorry. I have committed disgrace.”
“No, no offense.”
There was an awkward silence for a while.
…Ah, you shouldn’t meddle in other people’s family affairs.
“How did you do that?”
“…no big deal.”
His tail drooped and his gaze turned toward the floor. The sorrowful face is making a dark expression, so the sympathy is doubled.
“Can I take a look?”
“yes?”
“As you know, I am a blood mage. If you don’t mind, I’d like to take a look.”
The baroness hesitated for a moment before extending her hand. I held her hand carefully.
Two days ago, as the level rose, I invested points in ‘Hot Blood’. ‘Hot Blood’ was a skill that allowed me to extend control over nearby blood that wasn’t mine.
Because his proficiency had reached 3 points, he could clearly feel the flow of blood through his thin skin.
As I concentrated, the blood that spread under my skin came under my control. I carefully dispersed the blood and raised my blood to clean the area where the blood had escaped.
“oh.”
As the bruises were washed away, the baroness swallowed her breath.
Wow, is this the first time you’ve actually succeeded? proud
I looked down into his dark green eyes and smiled.
“How are you? Doesn’t it hurt now?”
Is it because the sun is hot?
The baroness’ jade-like face turned bright red.
“…so I noticed that if you repeat the process of applying heat and then applying cold again, the weakness actually comes back to life.”
Ellen sat on my arm and chattered like a lark.
“so? Did it work?”
“I still have to watch for a few more days, but I think it’s good to look forward to it. You can infer the results to some extent just by looking at the smell or color.”
It must have been a lot of fun making potions with Master Castrite. All the way back to the tavern, Ellen’s voice seemed to brighten a little.
…Come to think of it, it seemed like I hadn’t seen this in a really long time.
Previously, he would occasionally smile brightly or tell a joke, but he hadn’t seen it like that since he left South Harbor.
“Looks like you like Master Castrite?”
“I told you. I don’t think he’s a bad person.”
“Let’s go play often. While in Longville.”
“But still scores.”
“are you okay. Let’s take it easy until the lord moves.”
As a result of hunting for the past week, Ellen and I each leveled up one by one.
In addition to that, he killed numerous Goblin Orc Anupards, bringing his total score to 348. It’s not much different from the two teams below, but they’re already in 3rd place, so even if they take it easy, they’ll be able to receive their gifts.
“But it may not be very successful. Because it is a new recipe, it may not be effective or the side effects may be too great.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s fine if you enjoy it.”
“huh?”
“I don’t know how long it has been since you looked so happy. That’s enough, so let’s go play often.”
Ellen looked at my face and opened her mouth.
“Sometimes.”
” huh?”
“Sometimes I wish it could be like this.”
Even like this? What is it?”
Ellen, who licked her lips for a moment, shook her head and said,
“No, no.”
He said that and smiled. It was the first lonely smile I had ever seen.
The next day, while out hunting, I stopped by a bulletin board. And I came across a completely unexpected situation.
1. Atilia –
567 points
2. Randall
– 523 points
3. Norman –
474 points
4. Sorgil –
383 points
5. Edwin –
378 points
.
I approached Beldin, a young scribe with whom I had become quite friendly, and asked.
“What’s happening? Didn’t Atilia score in the 200s until a few days ago?”
“They say that the Nude people have been to the depths of the mountain.”
“Deep in the mountains?”
“yes. After almost a week, I came back and scored close to 300 points.”
crazy laugh out loud
“300 points in a week? Didn’t they go somewhere else and buy the remains?”
“The condition has not been seen for so long. Recently, Greenskins and Anupards have appeared only around here…
Beldin shrugged his shoulders as he said that.
“And it’s a little strange that Sir Phoenix says such a thing. Lord Phoenix’s group got 348 points in one week, right? The number of people is also small.”
“Hey, it’s us… It’s done. What is that Edwin? Is this your first name?” “Ah, they didn’t post their name on the bulletin board, but they are a gang that has been active all along. This time, it was quite successful, so I came in 5th place.”
Utequai, who had been frowning silently, opened his mouth.
“This is a disgrace. It doesn’t make sense for a mother’s warrior to be pushed aside by hunting.”
Well, not to that extent, but I’m a little pissed off. I told Ellen just yesterday to take it easy, but I don’t think I can.
“Phoenix. We must go deep. Catch more monsters!”
“Uh 99 M3
I silently looked back.
Amias’ gang.
They have changed a lot in just a week. His eyes came back to life a little, and his armament improved considerably thanks to his earning a lot of money.
And above all, my skills have improved a lot. To be honest, they were accepted to use as meat shields when dealing with Queen Anupad, but I was a little surprised at how good they were growing.
Well, with this much power, it would be okay to go deeper into the mountain.
Beldin hesitated for a moment then opened his mouth.
“But lately, there have been a lot fewer monsters roaming around in small groups.”
“what?”
“Most of the small pikes seemed to have been dealt with. These days, there are only a lot of them wandering around in large groups, so I’m afraid it’s a bit dangerous…
Utequai stood still and asked Veldin abruptly.
“How much is a troll?”
“yes? Are you a troll?”
“okay.”
“Uh, the troll hasn’t been caught yet…
Veldin rummaged through the documents and picked up one of them with his fingers.
“Wow, that’s 150 points.”
“150 points are good.”
Utequai looked back at me with searing eyes.
“what.”
“We have to catch the troll.”
“…ha.”
a troll
If it’s a troll from this area, it’s probably Chapter 3’s third pick, ‘Boo Rang Troll Spug’.
If you catch it with a mouse and keyboard, even a level 20 blood knight will be able to clean up trolls. But from what I’ve experienced so far, the reality is different.
I suddenly asked Ellen.
“What do you think, Ellen?”
“…Well, I’m not sure because I’ve never seen a troll myself.” The boy continued with a thoughtful expression.
“If I assist with fire-type spells, the win rate will go up a lot. Trolls are weak against fire.”
“Mmm.”
After careful consideration, I nodded my head.
“good. Instead, never overdo it. If you really don’t want to… you can just leave.”
Ellen and Utequai nodded. But neither of them seemed like they would give up so easily.
