Episode 186
“Because you are the owner of this land… can you tell me where this is?”
“North.”
“North! Oh oh! Right. I just remembered black hair. Gray eyes resembling a god. okay. You are Zervan of the North who received the grace of Balterus!”
Colliers von Zervan.
Goblin Lecter learned the name very dearly.
However, I have no regrets.
“Those hooves will come in handy. It’s a pretty rare item, but it’s not too wasteful.”
His name deserves it.
Of course, it’s just unsure expectations.
However, Lecter’s intuition said so.
He has many secrets that no one in the world knows about.
Colius’s secret would surely satisfy his desire for knowledge.
Nelm.
Lecter licked his lips with his thick tongue and brushed the ash from his pipe.
Then he replaced it with a new one and lit it again.
“The Q&A is still valid. I asked, so you’ll answer this time. Somehow, a deal like this with you, Colius, would be fun.”
Lecter moved his fingers flexibly as if luring prey.
As if to seduce a fish called Callius.
“Ah, since you were patronizing, I should too. The hooves of forgotten horses can be thrown into the wind.”
“wind?”
When Emily asked, Lecter wrapped his hands around his wand, resting his chin on it and smiled sinisterly.
“It is the hoof of a forgotten horse. I don’t know why it’s been forgotten Do you want to know?”
“Why is it forgotten…”
Colius stopped Emily from asking casually.
but before that.
“It was the cherished word of a now forgotten god! And it’s because it’s so fast that it’s been forgotten! haha! You have taken good care of your daughter! Colliers!!”
The deal was established by Lecter, who had spoken with a rapid-fire cannon.
Even how to use the hoof is patronizing.
Answering Emily’s question came at a cost.
Giggling, Lecter spreads his chin resting hand and announces the price.
“Oh Dad…”
“It’s okay.”
When the clever Emily, who noticed the situation, shivered, Colius said it was okay and stroked her head.
Then he glared at Lecter with a completely different look than when he looked at his daughter.
“Are you trying to be mean?”
“Rules are rules. And they are not ignorant of the greed of the goblins.”
Saying that, Colius bounced the goblin gold coin as if he couldn’t help it.
Ting!
The whirled goblin gold coin flew towards Lecter in a parabolic arc.
Chop.
“What a windfall this is. dragging.”
Satisfiedly examining the gold coin, chewing it with yellow teeth, he was pleased.
Weeping at him, Callius threw down the hooves he was holding.
with one wish
Then, the hooves moved in a bizarre orbit in the air, and soon thumped with a strange wind! set foot on the ground
That moment.
purr.
A red-eyed black horse emitting vicious energy like a demon that appeared along with black smoke appeared and sprayed demonic energy.
“For one service, the horse’s name is Schniff. A corrupted horse. Of course, as you can see, it’s a ghost horse. It’s very fast, but well. Whether or not you can ride it is up to you.
“You coward! Did you show condescension by giving me a horse you couldn’t even ride!?”
“I never said I could ride. It was Callius who asked for that in the first place. It’s a little funny that you resent me for nothing, human child.”
He gnashed his teeth at Emily for being a cheater.
Lecter, however, was only digging his ear holes with his long, dirty nails.
“Does not matter. I knew.”
“The value of gold coins is several times higher than your daughter’s question, so be generous. From now on, the hoof can only be used once. If you don’t make difficult demands, Schniff will try to grant your wishes.”
“And you will want a price.”
“…!! How did you know that?”
food.
Callius looked at the startled Lecter again, then approached Schniff, who looked like he was going to burn, and asked for his wish.
“Be mine.”
hooked
The Iron Lord, who took it out before I knew it, cut Schniff in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the dreary neighing of horses filled the sacred ground, and Schniff’s new model disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
“Did you see this crazy guy!! those precious words! Kill a horse that was no different from a divine beast!?”
“You said you were corrupted.”
“Even if it is corrupted! Even if it was just to get a hoof and restore part of his soul! Schniff is Schniff!! Killing the horse of a god is such a waste! No, why did you kill him in the first place?”
Lecter asked the question involuntarily and covered his mouth with both hands.
But this time it was Colius’ turn.
“Because I have a soul and a little body.”
if only that
Besides, if he’s sad.
Whether it’s a hoofed horse or a boneless troll, they all become his knights.
“Wake up. Schniff.”
Whoo-!
The black smoke that was left behind blows in all directions. The torch in full bloom in the holy ground shakes, and the schniff springs up from the ground stained with Titeo’s tears.
Schniff’s momentum, which appeared with a powerful horse cry, was 180 degrees different from before.
The appearance has also changed significantly.
“What is this…”
Lecter was dumbfounded.
Emily opened her mouth in surprise at the horse’s completely different appearance.
Schniff, who was a ghost horse, was reborn as a knight of Colius, escaped the magic of decals, and became an ironclad horse wearing black iron armor, fluttering gray energy.
Schniff’s majestic gaze.
And the scattered graphite contrasted with the gray aura, and the magnificence was fully conveyed.
“Sniff.”
purr.
Schniff, who had strode forward with a flirtation, soon rubbed into Colius’ hand as if he were acting like a charmer.
“But it is bigger than I thought. Is it because it is the word of God?”
A reinforced troll guarding the outer door.
It’s enough for Gaby to ride.
Schniff’s size was pretty huge.
It’s too much for him to ride.
However, Colliers was not worried.
Schniff’s status is the same as Sanggun-niol and Garcia.
He was the first knight with the rank of a nobleman to be created after taking Titeo. third group.
But is it just the size that matters?
In the first place, he was a trace of God’s words.
“Reduce the size.”
Purr.
As if answering, Schniff’s body gradually shrunk to the perfect size for Callius.
Callius pulled out Humasis’ saddle from subspace, put it on Schniff, and climbed straight up.
An ironclad horse that emits black smoke.
And Carlyas on top of him.
Black hair and white jade-like skin.
The sharp nose like a knife and the deep round eyes harmonized with Schniff, giving off a sense of dignity that would not be lacking in being the king of a country.
“Let’s test drive for a while.”
Hey.
Hung-!
As Schniff shook the horse’s reins a little, Colius disappeared like smoke.
really fast.
It was great speed.
“Schnipp is a god. Even if it was corrupted and only part of its soul was restored, a Shinma is a Shinma. Schniff’s strength is speed. A speed no one can catch up with. And the strength of the hooves based on it. Kiya… It’s powerful, but it’s a decal that has a limited number of times, so I tried to cheat and change it to a bigger one, but this is what happens.”
To be honest, to Lecter, it was something like a gimmick, and something that was a waste to use, so it was like a nuisance.
But obviously, a treasure is a treasure, so I tried to get something more by coaxing, but I never thought I would use it like that.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I could have paid more… but I only did good things for no reason.’
When Lecter clicked his tongue and regretted it, Emily laughed at him with her breasts wide open as if she was looking good.
“jerk.”
“The father is such a weirdo, but his daughter is nothing.”
“what. If it wasn’t for your father, you would have died by my hand. I couldn’t even pay the price for those insignificant treasures. Don’t take the favor of the master of the north for granted. Green Monster!”
“Khehehe!! A green monster! It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that. But what a human kid. I don’t know your father, but you can’t do anything about me?”
“Shall we?”
Emily put her hand on the sword at her waist. one on her black waist.
one on the back.
All of them were gifts from him.
“Kuh kuh Of course, it must be a good sword in your world. But, kid. The world you live in and the land I stepped on are different.”
“You have to hit it to know.”
Sreung!
Emily’s sword was pulled out from the scabbard on her waist with sparks.
A state that could never have been imagined that a fifteen-year-old girl could have achieved.
The sword is honest.
However, the speed was so refreshing.
‘That father and that daughter.’
Lecter, who was a little ignored, is also a sword that has no choice but to reconsider.
but.
Whoo-!
Her sword only cut through the air.
“!”
Emily drew her sword to take at least an arm of the cheeky monster.
But just before the sword touches.
The goblin’s body turned into smoke and disappeared.
Only cut Emily’s black smoke.
“In my old days, it was not acceptable for mere humans to look directly at us. But will that blade work?”
Lecter grabbed Emily from behind and hit her on the back with the cane she was holding.
“The slow burst is like a donkey. Become a donkey rather than a human.”
Then, Emily immediately felt awkward and difficult to stand on her own two feet.
I thought I shouldn’t let go of the sword, but I let go and fell on all fours.
Then, suddenly, his body was covered with hair, his face lengthened, and he became a small, quirky donkey similar to a horse.
Emily was confused, but speechless, and then struggled on the ground in tears.
“Clap.”
“You’re playing pranks on my daughter.”
“…”
Callius, who had brought the smell of blood before he knew it, thrust his sword over Schniff.
His sword was full of the smell of blood from miscellaneous things.
With the knife in his throat, Lecter naturally raised his hands into the air.
It’s very different from Emily.
Even if he did a little trick, he would run away from this sword.
I was sure.
“You killed a lot of things.”
“I did a test drive and did some cleaning.”
Callius pressed harder with his sword at Lecter’s neck as he watched Emily struggle like an animal.
“Give it back.”
“I was just teasing you for a while.”
When he tapped Emily on the back with his cane again, he jumped up and gasped for breath.
“You fucking monster!”
“Emily.”
“dad! That bastard turned me into a donkey!”
“I see. Did you become a donkey?”
Callius laughed and drew the sword from Lecter’s neck.
Even if you get a little angry, receiving the price is something you can do after the deal.
When Colius got off the Schniff and reverse summoned Lecter, he said calmly.
“I have killed thousands. Were there that many demons around here? It’s a dangerous neighborhood.”
“What is it like?”
“father. Are you going to leave that child alone?”
“The deal is not over yet.”
“…”
Emily calmed down.
She knows well the temper of Colius.
He does not hesitate to decapitate if necessary.
If your father doesn’t do that, it means that there is a good reason.
There.
‘My father and these guys…’
Until now, all enemies were within the range of understanding.
Orc overlords who were so strong. Even trolls reinforced with string and stakes. It was scary, but it was an existence within common sense.
But the green monster in front of me was beyond my understanding.
It suddenly appeared from behind and turned a man into a donkey.
And Colius, who talks with such a monster on an equal footing without blinking an eye.
It was only then that Emily calmed down, taking to heart what Colius had said when he came down to this holy place.
“I think we have already done enough to prove the vacancy of the Corruptor. I guess I should get paid for your question.”
What proved the siege of the corrupted was none other than the sword held by Callius.
iron lord.
It was Titeo.
Since he took it out and proved it himself, he had to pay for it, and he was able to choose two treasures by answering Lecter’s question.
“Is there anything you want to ask me? Any question close to the truth, I will know all you want.”
He risked his knowledge, perhaps not wanting to give away two treasures at once.
However, Callius was puzzled.
“Giving knowledge? By divine punishment, you will only be able to retain knowledge.”
“…Sheesh. Do you know that far?”
“Did he try to cheat again?”
“Yes.”
Goblins are punished by God.
The exact reason is because knowledge was stolen.
They are thieves who stole God’s knowledge.
So God punished them. They have made it impossible to endure the desire for knowledge, and they are the ones who can never pass on the knowledge they have found out to others.
So even if they give birth to a child, they cannot tell you anything.
All they can tell you is the little things.
bagatelle. only unnecessary things.
Indeed, the knowledge of the truth cannot be conveyed.
If it is knowledge heard from others, an even greater price follows.
Nevertheless, the fact that he tried to set the knowledge of the truth as a price must have been a clever attempt to circumvent the rule of divine punishment.
“Lecter.”
“What.”
“I have no questions about you.”
“Oh… is that really true? king of the north. Hey Callies. I’m not interested in the war games of my humans, but I know that Carpe is weak. The power of the sword gets weaker as the days go by, and the power of the spear gets stronger as the days go by. Do you have any questions about me? Among the people I have dealt with, there are those who are in charge of the Empire. Wouldn’t you like to know the secrets you found out while talking with them? The shame of the empire and their weaknesses!”
However, Callius shook his head.
“Not required. Because I want something else from you..”
“What is that?”
Lecter frowned.
Colliers replied.
“Give me the fruit of the overturned tree.”
The fruit of an upside down tree.
Upon hearing that, Lecter’s eyes went wide again.
“How did you bastard do that!! How do you know the fragments of the old gods! Huh!!”
Another look at Lecter.
Colliers calmly responded to his slightly bored reaction.
“A little bit of characteristics…”
“Special what? What is it?”
fruit of an overturned tree.
It is a fragment containing the power of a god who became a tree by being buried in the ground.
Those who have even a small fragment of a god will bloom with new powers.
The power of a god that gives someone power and a bizarre ability that someone can’t even imagine.
The power to bring a trait or talent into bloom.
More simply put.
‘A ticket to draw characteristics.’
or.
‘Clear attribute.’
Originally, even if you meet a goblin, it’s something you can’t easily get.
“I don’t know how to know that, but I can’t give it to you. Its power is too strong. It’s too much to hand over for human selfishness…”
However, Colius’ pocket was thick with goblin gold coins he’d been collecting.
Ting. Teeing.
Lecter’s pupils cause an earthquake as the gold goblin flicks off Colius’ fingers.
“Too dangerous….”
Gold coins pouring out.
Lecter’s hand, which had been sweating and ignoring it, entered the goblin’s hilt.
“I can’t…”
