My Villains Chapter 199
44. Dream (9)
As soon as Sir Niterbel Lam and his three wives, who were naturally seated at the table, began a conversation with me, Haggon quietly scratched his beard-covered chin.
for a while too. As the son of the tavern owner, he came to the table and opened his mouth with an awkward expression.
“Can I get you something to eat? I have some leftover onion porridge, so I just need to boil it…
“No.”
Mibu Kelsene in black smiled and shook her head.
“We are fine.”
“…It must have been a while since you ate, so you’re going to be hungry.”
“That’s true, but I don’t want to trouble you.”
“It’s nothing to do with lungs…. Yes,
if that’s the case.”
“Oh wait.”
She stopped Haggon, who was about to leave, and with a snap of her fingers called for the servant who had come with him.
Having received a silk pouch from a servant, Kelsene took out a yellow gold coin from it and handed it to Hargon.
“Thanks to you, I got a cozy resting place. Thank you.”
“Oh, and I’m more grateful for that gold coin or something, ma’am.”
Hagon, who was bowing down, stepped back behind the bar with an expression that he had acquired a windfall. Just then, a young man with a youthful face appeared from the room, yawning. It was Kigon, the youngest son of the tavern owner.
“Are there any guests?”
“okay. There’s nothing to entertain, so just go in.”
“That’s Okay. I’ll look after the tavern, so hyung-nim, keep your eyes peeled.”
“A kid like you knows what to do. Come in quickly.”
As the two brothers quarreled, Heila, who had been reading a book, slowly raised her head. She hadn’t slept a sigh of sleep, but there was no trace of tiredness on her face.
While traveling together for the past month, I felt that Heila was stronger than it looked.
Looking at his relaxed speech and fair skin and slender body, he looks like a flower in a greenhouse, but he has better stamina than most veteran mercenaries.
Of course, it was only natural that Halo had good stamina as he was a blood knight. I haven’t looked at the character sheet yet, but my health should be at least 20 points.
So what surprised me was not Heyla’s stamina, but her attitude.
Heila had to walk on her own two feet for the entire journey, using the black horse she rode as a pack horse.
However, if your boots get wet from walking 2-30km on a rough mountain road or passing through puddles, you will have to work hard no matter how good your physical strength is. It would be even more difficult for a woman who grew up with the golden jade leaf of the duke’s family.
But Heyla never complained or said anything, and never once frowned. Rather, he approached the tired mercenaries and relieved their burden.
In addition to such an uncharacteristic attitude, Heyla was more of a listener than a talker, and showed off her easy-going side at times. It was natural for the mercenaries to fall for Heila.
Because she continued to show different sides of herself like this, whenever Heila did something, her eyes would automatically go to her.
Heila blinked a couple of times before opening her mouth.
“Kiggon.”
“…Uh, your lady?”
As the young man with a youthful face approached, she pulled out a pouch from her waistband.
“Could you do me a favor?”
“What request?”
“Get some water in the bathtub.”
“Oh, you want to take a bath?” After
“O”
.
Kigon narrowed his brows as if in trouble.
“According to the rules of the bar, you have to prepare your own bath water.”
“It’s not difficult.”
Heila said softly and pulled out two silver coins.
“I just sit under the eaves and watch to make sure no bugs or rotten leaves get into the bathtub.”
“…Uh, you’re giving me two silver coins just for that?”
“Your share is one piece. The other one is Haggagon.”
“Your older brother too?”
“huh. You can be alone and fall asleep.”
Kigon looked hesitantly toward the bar. Receiving the gaze of his youngest brother, Hagon pondered for a moment before nodding his head.
After Ki-gon accepted the offer, Heyla handed over two silver coins and added:
“You have to keep an eye out for clean water. got it?”
“Your lady.”
The two brothers took a large wooden bathtub out of the shed and escaped through the back door. Heila, who was staring at it, rubbed her hands together as if her hands were getting cold and took out a pair of gloves from her vest pocket.
It was the ‘Gloves of the Milky Way’, a magic tool with five diamonds drawn on the back of the hand.
It was a useful item that allowed us to use ‘Galaxy Bullet’ and ‘Star Shield’, but it was difficult to use, so it was not confiscated. Heila is taking the ‘magic suppression potion’ anyway, so even if she has it, she can’t use it.
As if she was aware of my staring gaze, Heila started turning the pages again, wearing the Milky Way glove on only her right hand.
Lord Niterbellam’s three wives also followed my gaze to Heyla. They opened their mouths as if the three of them had joined together.
“……oh.”
Topelin, a beautiful girl in a blue coat, gave a short exclamation. Then, he looked sideways at Heila and asked me a question.
“She is a very beautiful young lady. Are you a member of Lord Phoenix’s company?”
“…yes. He is my cousin.”
” ah.”
Mibu Kelsene in black shook her head.
“Somehow, I thought the atmosphere was similar. Can I hear Hamza?”
“Rachel.”
“yes?”
At Kelsene’s question, Heila answered with her eyes fixed on the book.
“My name is Rachel.”
Heila was the only younger sister of Duke Caisis, the great lord of Ireland, so she couldn’t reveal her real name. For that reason, she was using the pseudonym ‘Rahel’.
“…ah.”
Kelsenne, who had no clue about this situation, put on a slightly subtle expression. Heila’s lower back looked so natural that she couldn’t react.
Either way, Heila quietly turned the pages.
…Just by looking at her expression, she seemed to be reading some kind of profound philosophy or secret history, but in fact, the book she was reading was a romantic novel titled ‘Beyond the Derona River’. Recently, it seems to be popular among noble ladies and young ladies of the royal capital.
In any case, Lord Niterbellam’s three wives expressed interest in Heyla, who was of rare beauty.
However, the three beauties seemed to be getting tired from the continuous short replies and indifferent attitude. While observing their actions, I spoke at the right time.
“I ask for your understanding. Because my cousin is a little introverted.”
“…I guess so.”
“So, when will we know Lord Niterbellam’s secret? It’s getting to the point of getting rid of it.”
As I trembled, Ganesh, a beautiful woman with a red skirt, smiled lightly.
“Since my sister made it sound, there is no great secret.”
“Oh is it? It makes me even more curious.”
“Are you more curious? Why?”
I shrugged at her question.
“You can’t help but be greedy for such a trifling secret to be able to have a beauty like yours.”
I leaned my upper body slightly and continued talking in a whisper.
“And to be honest, if it’s not a great secret, I’m also looking forward to it being something I can easily follow.”
At my serious expression, the beautiful girl Ganesh and the beautiful girl Topelin laughed out loud, and the beautiful girl Kelsenne sighed and offered advice.
“Love is difficult for anyone. You can’t try to find the easy way. Especially if you’re young and promising like him.”
“Oh, of course you are absolutely right.”
After showing both palms, he placed his hand on his chest and continued.
“But I’m still not good at things like love and dating.”
“yes?”
The beautiful girl Topelin widened her eyes.
“You don’t look like that at all.”
“that’s right.”
Beauty Ganesh chimed in.
“On the outside, you look like a flirt or a prostitute in the world.”
“Oh my sister!”
“Ganesh! Excuse me.”
Surprised, Topelin burst into laughter, and Kelsene made a deliberately stern expression.
“I apologize to Lord Phoenix.”
“No, thanks. In fact, I hear something like that from time to time.” I continued with a smile as if I didn’t care.
“But I have lived as a seed for most of my life. Because I practiced training and fighting every day, I am used to sweating and drinking dust while fighting with men.”
“I guess so. After all, you are a young knight.”
Topelin, who took off her coat to expose her smooth shoulders, covered her mouth in pity. I nodded at her and turned to Mibu Kelsenne.
“So, isn’t it human nature, Mrs. Kelsenne, to seek the easier road rather than the hard road when traveling in unfamiliar places? So put aside your reprimanding for a while and tell me some of Sir Niterbellam’s secrets.”
As if their naive knighthood had worked, Lord Niterbellam’s three wives began to give advice on love affairs with very serious faces.
Living as a phoenix, I often feel that a good-looking face has a great influence on the improvement of speech skills.
Originally, the most important thing in a conversation is re-action, but if you nod your head a few times with a look full of melancholy, there is no re-action.
While continuing the conversation in moderation, I inspected the inside of the tavern so as not to be noticed.
Heila continued to turn the pages, and U Tequai had been drawing with a pencil since before.
The wad I had sent to the fireplace had disappeared before I knew it, and Cole, who had received a signal from me, continued to visit the mercenaries who had turned away with bated breath.
Inwardly, ‘Okay, shall we wait a little longer?’ As I thought about it, an unexpected variable appeared.
“…Ellen?”
It was none other than Ellen who appeared from behind the bar.
w O uu ” —
Ellen blinked for a moment and then brushed her messy hair up.
Huung.
At that moment, a cold wind blew into the room as if a draft had been heard. In the small vortex, Ellen’s blue eyes shone brightly as she brushed off her drowsiness…
“Eh Ellen. Are you awake?”
“Ugh”
The guy slowly approached with the expression erased from his face.
“Because of the giggling.”
Cold eyes widened the table, and Lord Niterbellam’s three wives hardened their faces.
“…Wizard?”
The one who muttered that was Topelin, a beautiful girl wearing only a white dress and showing off her slender shoulders.
Secretly swallowing dry saliva, I looked back at her with my eyes wide open.
“Oh how did you know?”
“……yes?”
“That Ellen is a wizard.”
Right now, Ellen was wearing only a beige shirt and cotton pants. He wasn’t wearing a robe, nor was he holding a wand or crystal ball.
In short, it means that you can’t tell that you’re a wizard from the outside.
Topelin quietly blinked at my staring gaze, and Mibu Kelsenne burst out laughing.
“Everybody knows that there is a ‘Fire Witch’ among Lord Phoenix’s colleagues. The name ‘Ellen’, with golden fleece-like hair and an angelic face. Anyone can spot it.”
“Ah yes. that’s right.”
Topelin smiled cutely and wiped her chest.
“’The Blonde Purifier’ Ellen. I was a little surprised to meet a person with such a great reputation in person.”
“Oh, you see.”
Although she was supposed to respond to her story, Ellen walked quietly and didn’t say anything. And he took the seat to my right, where Moongchi was sitting earlier.
Ellen, who leaned back on the backrest, looked back at the three women.
“…what are these?”
“Ellen. What are these?”
Despite my persuasion, he narrowed his brows a little and muttered softly.
“What does it smell like?”
“Ellen!”
I frowned and tugged at the boy’s shoulder.
“Be polite. Sir Niterbellam and his wives, a prominent landowner in the region of Gistol.”
I said that and winked hard, but he didn’t even look at me. Damn.
“Wives? All three of them are the wives of that old man?”
“Are you a great person?”
I looked into the eyes of the three women and smiled.
“The wives were passing on Lord Niterbellam’s secret.”
“secret? What’s the trick?”
“The secret to having three equally beautiful wives.”
Only then did Ellen’s blue gaze turn to me, and I quickly winked.
“…under.”
…the effect was enormous.
I don’t know what he misunderstood, but his eyes flashed intensely as if they would pour out blue flames…
“Are you jealous of that old man?”
“Oh, isn’t that envy?”
“…Aha, is that so?”
As if swallowing something bubbling inside, Ellen closed her eyes for a moment. Then he snorted with a cold face.
“It wouldn’t be something to be very proud of if you weren’t a great noble and had a concubine on the subject of a knight.”
“A concubine?”
Ganesh, the beauty in the red skirt, frowned as if her self-esteem was hurt.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but we’re not like concubines.”
“Oh is that so?”
“…okay. Neither Keline, nor Topelin, nor Marty, nor Sir Niterbellam’s true wife. Unlike the average knight Nabu Lang, my husband is a person with that level of ability.”
Ganesh, who had been pouring out words like that and raising the heat, scolded Ellen as if he was deliberately shouting.
“And what on earth do you believe in and be so rude about a wandering wizard?”
“Ha, are you rude? Why don’t you hide the smell of your dirty mouth and say something like that?”
“what!”
When Ganesh opened his ax eye and shouted, I cursed her inwardly.
“Wait a minute, it seems Ellen is still awake. I’ll forgive you like this, so please fix it.”
“Fixed? Do you still look stationary after hearing those words without a case?”
I held back the excited Ganesh and gently pressed Ellen’s shoulder.
“That’s-”
Ellen looked up at me in surprise at the pain she felt in her shoulder, and I narrowed my eyes and blinked.
When he gave a puzzled expression, I quickly turned my head to Ganesh and the other two women.
“I will raise you a drink as an apology.”
“…a drink? suddenly?”
Ganesh and Topelin made puzzled expressions, and Kelsene narrowed her brows.
I smiled cheerfully and rubbed my hands.
“yes. Luckily, I got a very good drink. Since my colleague has been very rude and has given me some good advice, I would like to share a drink to commemorate this meeting.”
Ganeshi also frowned at the sound of my arguing. The only one who gave me a curious glance was Topelin, the beautiful girl sitting to my left.
“What kind of drink is it?”
“There is a small estate called Longville under Mt. Graduil. As you know, honey from Graduil is famous as a luxury product, and the liquor made with that honey is also famous as silk.”
I said that and stood up in a natural motion.
Then, suddenly, he made eye contact with Steedman, who was fiddling with the handle of the Pulse with a nervous expression.
“Stidman! Bring that!”
“…yes? Is that it?”
“Yes, the silk of Longville!”
“Uh, if you’re talking about mead, Hatan Ka’s at midnight-”
Stidman was babbling stupidly, when the freckled Mira quickly interjected.
“lily! I have something left!”
As she said that, groping her waist, the eyes of Lord Niterbellam’s three wives were drawn to it.
At that moment, I pulled out the Hrunting and at the same time swung it like a thunderbolt.
Suck it!
Topelin’s head, which had a puzzled expression on it, flew off at once, and I stood up on the table at once.
With that as a signal, my comrades and mercenaries took action at the same time.
Utequai, who was scribbling a bullet, reached out and grabbed Ganesh’s head. The thick fingertips dug into the soft, tough skin,
and it puked!
Her head was smashed like a watermelon.
Meanwhile, the freckled Mira took out a small glass bottle from her waist and held it up. It was the silk of Longville, or the holy water obtained from the Church of Longville.
“Cole!”
she exclaimed, throwing the holy water towards the table, and Cole took out a bow and shot an arrow.
Suung Kwak!
The arrowhead accurately hit the glass bottle and rushed towards Kelsenne, the black-clad mibu, drenched in the pouring holy water.
“Kyaaaagh!”
There was a scream as if four or five women had screamed at once, and Kelsenne, who had just transformed into a swarm of bats, fell backwards with an arrow stuck in her chest.
At her, a bundle hidden somewhere in the ceiling was shot down, and a dagger was stuck in her neck and a short sword in her chest. The silver-plated blades pinned Kellenne to the ground, unable to move.
“Keeeeek-!”
The eyes of the guards and servants who had been watching over Lord Niterbellam and his three wives were shining red. Then, the mouth opened close to 180 degrees, and even that was not enough, the jaw split left and right, revealing the dense canine needles and tentacle-like tongue.
Then Heila rolled over and stood beside Topelin, a beautiful girl who had her head cut off, and reached out to them. She sucked up magical power from Topelin’s blood and transferred it to her right hand.
Toong toong toong!
The galaxy bullets engraved on the Milky Way’s gloves shot through the index finger like rays of light. The two heavily armed guards collapsed, their heads and chests pierced by silver bullets.
“The Lord of Light is with you!”
Gidon, a fanatic and crossbowman, knocked down one of the servants with a heavy crossbow and shouted,
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
With a sharp spirit, Umberta swung a one-handed and half-sword and split the chests of the other servants.
Gidon’s crossbow and Umberta’s one-handed half-sword were both plated with silver, and the servants screamed and vomited black smoke from the wounds.
gurg gurg- Ganesh, whose
head was smashed by Utequai, shook his limbs. At the same time, the flesh from her neck swelled up like a balloon, taking the shape of her face.
Ellen, who was standing in a sudden situation, not knowing why, instinctively approached it. Then he put his hand on the waddling flesh
and roared!
It spewed fire.
It was just spewing flames, not a proper spell. However, thanks to Ellen’s powerful magic, the flames quickly covered Ganesh’s entire body.
“Keeck Kkeewek!”
Ellen held Ganesh’s forehead like a priest praying by laying on of hands. Ganesh, who was pretending to be human, was instantly engulfed in a baptism of fire.
While all of that was happening, I pounced on Lord Niterbellam, who was dozing in the goal post.
M | 99
The old man, whose age was unknown, opened his eyes only then, but Hrunting’s milky blade had already pierced his chest.
“Gagging-!”
Hrunting was a sword with strange powers. Thanks to this, it was possible to inflict fatal wounds on an elderly person without applying silver.
“Fuck.”
Sir Niterbellam’s blurred eyes glared at me. When I twisted the blade with a little more force, the morale dispersed with a gasp.
When the spell that covered the presence of the undead was neutralized, I looked down at Lord Niterbellam and smiled.
“Nice to meet you, Count Martianver.”
The old man’s eyes were wide open.
“No, what about the count?”
Utequai, who had just arrived, drove an iron stake through the old man’s neck.
“Khehehe!”
I swallowed a burst of laughter and added.
“You dirty vampire bastard.”
The final boss of Chapter 4, the vampire lord, Count Mathianber, let out a desperate scream.
