[ Episode 281. Conflict and suppression of steam]
Although I expected it to a certain extent, the path Pisy guided me was an unpredictable path at all.
Even I, who already knew the location through gameplay, was amazed that I could go this way.
‘At that time, it was an episode in which Agatha was accidentally caught up in.’
When I thought of Agatha, my gaze suddenly went to her.
Because Agatha was wearing a hood, it was more like Pycy’s group than ours.
Soon we’ll meet Sin and other factions, and I’m curious about the reaction.
‘If I had joined the scene…’
Sueuk-
As I was thinking, Noah grabbed my collar.
Looking down at her, he had something to say.
“Adrias.”
“why.”
Noah lifted his tiptoe and quietly whispered in his ear.
“I’m familiar with the warlock called Pycy.”
“……Talk to you later.”
“uh.”
While walking down the street, conversation was difficult now.
If the story Noah was trying to bring out was about his own biological experiments, he had to reconsider the expedition itself.
As long as Noah entrusted herself to me, she is also mine.
‘If Noah’s guess is correct…’
I will avenge her without hesitation.
The only catch is that I heard from Ivy that she had already killed the ringleader, the black magician herself.
So don’t act hastily, let’s wait and see.
As Noah and I whispered to each other, Vivian was right next to me.
Then Noah waved his hand and withdrew.
“I won’t touch you.”
Noah is the only person who uses honorifics.
Vivian came out with an expressionless face and looked at Noah, then started walking ahead again.
What do you mean by not touching it anyway?
It’s an accent that’s kind of misleading.
After walking along the mountain road for a while, Luna, who was riding on Rago’s back, opened her mouth.
“How long are you going to walk?”
Paisy responded surprisingly kindly.
“Two days. Meet the other guys once tomorrow and once right before we arrive.”
“Pycy.”
“Why?”
“When will you introduce them?”
Luna raised her fingertips and pointed at people she hadn’t spoken to until now.
“curious!”
“Tell me when we camp.”
“I’m curious right now?”
“Be patient.”
I also became curious about their identities.
It was likely that they were people I knew, but on this expedition, as long as they came without hiding their identities, they should have been vigilant.
‘Because I might have to kill you if I have to.’
If you lose weight, you are invincible.
Knowing the other person makes it easier to deal with them.
You can’t always relax.
“It gets dark! Let’s camp now!”
Being in the mountains, the sun began to set quickly.
With Luna’s excited voice, we picked a suitable place and started preparing for camping.
“I will do it.”
As I thoughtlessly prepared for camp, like when I was in the army, Agatha came over and took my job.
I hinted at her like that.
“Are you going to keep wearing that hood?”
“…I thought it didn’t matter, but if it bothers His Excellency, I’ll take it off.”
“no. I was just asking out of curiosity. Do what is comfortable for you.”
“Your Excellency said you’ve already heard about me, so you must know that I’m of mixed blood, right?”
“Yes, I know.”
Agata held the hood for a moment and then slowly began to remove it.
The long brown hair flowed down, and soon the beast’s ears were visible.
Her mother is Miao.
The cute beast’s ears were those of a cat.
“It would be rude to hide from the client.”
“You don’t have to. All I want is your skills. On the contrary, if I don’t show my skills because I care about that appearance, it will be troublesome.”
Agatha was the only archer character in the playables.
As a mixed-race of the Miao people, she has excellent physical abilities and senses. Originally, she had to meet various talents and grow into a powerful archer.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Agatha put the hood back on when I repeated that I was fine.
It seemed like a cute appearance to me, but it didn’t seem like it to the person concerned.
Of course, since I knew Agatha’s story, I understood, so I was considerate.
In fact, as she said, it was not a very good attitude for a mercenary to hide from the client.
“Adrias! tree!”
Luna, who was waiting for me at the campsite, approached me.
I nodded and returned with Agatha and the pile of firewood.
Serung-
But what is this situation again?
“I said a word, but my temper is……”
In the middle of the clearing that was used as a campsite, Vivian stood with her sword drawn with a cold, stiff face.
By her side, Noah was also looking at the person who had spoken with a hostile expression.
“Is there a problem.”
Coincidentally, the northerners went hunting lightly, and Paisy was away for a while, so Paisy’s party and us were the only ones here.
When I appeared, the grumbling Paisy’s party turned around and walked away without saying a word.
“I asked what was going on.”
“Nothing.”
When I asked the returning partner, Vivian answered instead.
She shoveled her sword in and came up to me to pick up the firewood for me.
“Sorry for worrying you.”
“What happened?”
“I was just messing around.”
Vivian answered casually and set the firewood down in the clearing.
Soon Luna lit the fire with magic and it started to burn quickly.
“I was always curious about the face or name, but it worked out.”
I moved right away and approached Paish’s group who were doing nothing.
“I think now is the time to make a statement. Would you mind giving me your name and showing me your face?”
“Hehe. this this. I didn’t know that Sir Cromwell would take an interest in mercenary bastards like us.”
The person who spoke sarcastically was the same person Vivian had said had flirted with her.
Slowly, my patience runs out.
“It’s easy to say that you know me. Would you like to stop talking and tell me your name?”
“Well, I mean.”
“Well?”
“I don’t know why I have to give my full name. Hehe, to be honest, I want to hide the fact that I signed a contract with a warlock like Paish.”
“……You mean you don’t want to talk?”
“Yes. Would His Excellency be better than that? It would be a little difficult if this fact spreads, to say that it is the original work of the ruins like that black magician…
“Pycy.”
Feeling the presence of people who had just arrived, I called his name in a low voice.
Then, the name was called, and Pycy spoke from behind me.
“why? what’s the matter.”
“Paish, as far as I know, I have participated in this expedition in place of the godfather.”
“however? Why are you saying that all of a sudden?”
“Choose one of them. Is it me or this mercenary?”
At the sudden words, Paisy came up to me and asked.
“What? What is the sudden choice?”
“Ouch, I’m scared! Sir, I was wrong. So please let go of your anger.”
Just in time, when the mercenary in front of her eyes sighed, Pycy, who noticed the situation, sighed.
Then he gestured to the mercenary.
“Balan, why do you make things like this?”
“huh? What am I?”
Someone said it, and it was a balan to tear and kill.
There was a reason for all the fuss.
But you picked the wrong opponent.
Kududeuk!
Balan’s feet fell to the floor due to the sudden activation of magic.
During the conversation with Pycy, it was a sudden magic that took away his breath, so he couldn’t even react.
“Adrias!”
Pycy shouted belatedly and tried to use magic on me, but he couldn’t stop my attack, which was already being prepared.
Awesome!
“Keuk!”
Balan, whose arm had been cut off, glared at me with bloody eyes.
Seeing that he endures well, he is definitely a well-known villain.
I deliberately kept it alive, but in the gap, Pysh’s magic blocked me and Balan.
Pycy took advantage of the gap and showed his will to live by blocking my path.
“Adrias, this is disregard for me.”
“ignore?”
Ignore it…….
Besides, do you dare to expose your life in front of me?
Anyway, I thought I had to catch the momentum of Paisy once.
it was better
‘I assumed that the mercenaries Paish hired were villains.’
That’s why I thought to deal with it in the ruins after figuring out its identity.
Balan’s rudeness only accelerated the plan a little.
“Pie pie pie pie. You boring bastard.”
“…….”
“Ignore? ignore? me you Or are you me?”
I slowly summoned my wings with Galaksur in my hand.
I could feel all of my stats rising as the white wings spread.
“I’m not kidding, Pycy. Respecting you is over. So go ahead and take your pick.”
The momentum of the man-in-the-middle attack became a huge killing blow and attacked Pysh.
“Is it me or that guy? If you don’t choose, I’ll split them both.”
“Adrias Cromwell. You are crossing the line.”
“No, no.”
I shook my head and let out a strong energy blast.
The energy amplified by the wings covered the entire mountain where we were.
“Pay. Again, I am the godfather’s agent. In addition, he is the chief in charge of one axis of the assembly.”
“Funny. You seem to know that you can become anything just because others care about you, but you are just a kid.”
“Paissy, that’s why you’ve always been that way.”
Before I knew it, I saw Balan finish the hemostasis and pull out his buried leg.
I summoned Nickel next to Balan.
Fuck!
Nickel, who appeared in an instant, slaughtered Balan without an arm.
At the same time, Pycy also began to summon the undead in earnest.
“You don’t understand why I am the chief. But Pycy…….”
I smiled as I saw the Pythy undead being summoned through the black subspace.
“You made a mistake.”
Wooung—-
Kwajak!
Huge feet appeared and trampled on the summoned Undead of Pycy.
Paisy looked at the leg with a look of bewilderment.
“Golem? No, this is…….”
As he said this, new elite undead continued to be summoned in place of the broken undead.
I can see two death knights, the ultimate king of the undead, and it’s also a pike.
But even such a pie wasn’t afraid.
Necromancer couldn’t beat me in the first place.
Especially, Pycy…….
– Fall down.
The origin of control materialized through my mouth.
Soon after, all the undead in Pycy began to fall.
“ah?”
You must be embarrassed.
But it is a natural result.
The undead, who follow orders without will, are much more vulnerable to my linguistic magic.
Even if it was a magic only for the undead, it was irrelevant.
“Bykern! wake up!”
A sphere of Death Knight flinched at Pysh’s cry.
But not like that.
Swoop-
Nickel approached and pointed his sword at Pysh.
“Pycy.”
Are you out of your mind?
“……How on earth…….”
-Reverse summoning.
The will of my words headed towards the fallen undead.
Then, the undead began to be summoned, showing the same reaction as if they had received a serious blow.
‘This was a little too much.’
Mana was consumed like crazy.
But you shouldn’t have to tea.
“Adrias Cromwell. You, what the hell are you…….”
I could clearly feel the emotion wrapped in fear from Pysh.
Calling me with a trembling voice, her eyes were full of fear of the unknown.
“Why am I the head of the clique and why did my godfather make me his representative…”
It must have seemed funny.
He must have looked like a kid who was only in his mid-twenties.
But now I have enough ability to be in the position.
“Do you understand now?”
Pysh didn’t answer.
I told her clearly.
“I am a Warlock.”
