Episode 1209. a man with the heart of a beast
‘If you have a conscience, you should use it as sparingly as possible and get help.’
Elio could not refute Fabian’s nagging and slowly turned his head.
Even though Count Larva Omar heard the conversation between the two, he pretended not to notice and did not intervene.
It’s not that you don’t have enough money right now, but it’s still better to save.
A teenage girl in the middle of a middle-aged couple looked at the loser young man (Elio) with pity.
The mother gently pushed her daughter’s face to the other side and whispered.
“Don’t look.”
At that moment, her husband, Andrea Jeter, looked at the men’s faces with a puzzled expression.
If they were knights, they would have sharp ears, so they might find it unpleasant.
But fortunately, the men did not pay attention to their families.
He looked at the men closely, feeling relieved.
There are two people: an elderly man who appears to be in his late fifties and a young man in his mid-twenties.
At first glance, I heard ‘the Count’, but the Count does not use the stagecoach.
Looking at the three people’s clothes, it was clear that they were free knights.
It’s probably true, seeing as they are moving around freely while the war is breaking out.
‘I wish they were good people… … .’
They say that free knights have better character than mercenaries, but that is also true only in cities.
If you go outside the city to a place with no people, you don’t know how things will change.
Didn’t they say that the dead don’t speak?
‘Well, there are guards anyway.’
Although stagecoaches are more inconvenient than chartered carriages in many ways, the guards are the reason why stagecoaches are used for long distance travel.
As departure time approached, three stagecoaches lined up.
The stagecoach came to a halt in front of three waiting stations, as if measured by a ruler.
Elio and his group boarded the lead stagecoach with an unfamiliar family.
The seating arrangement is three rows.
Although Fabian and Elio have small physiques, Count Larva Omar has a long body – befitting his nickname the Tiger of Baylem.
Elio pushed Fabian next to Count Larva Omar and moved one space forward.
Meanwhile, Andrea Jeter also had his wife and daughter sit side by side and went to the back.
When the young knight made eye contact, Andrea Jeter was the first to say hello.
“hello?”
“Ah, yes.”
Elio answered half-heartedly and then closed his eyes.
It was annoying to interact with people, but it was because my mind was complicated by the Abyss.
After a while, the carriage, which had stopped with a clatter, moved forward.
Five guards quietly followed behind the three stagecoaches.
The carriage departed around 2pm and ran non-stop for three hours.
As dusk was setting, three stagecoaches lined up and entered the small village.
The place where the carriage stopped was in front of the community center building in the center of the village.
Eighteen people poured out of three stagecoaches.
A middle-aged man dressed in flashy clothes shouted in protest at the stagecoach transport manager.
“Hey! The notice says that an inn or tavern will be provided as accommodation! This is just a communal hall, right? “Are you asking us to stay in the communal hall now?”
Stagecoach transport manager Leon Toros turned to the middle-aged man and said,
“It would have been written that areas without accommodations could be replaced at will. As you can see, there are no inns or taverns around here.”
The middle-aged man asked in a depressed tone.
“Is there a bed?”
“Of course. Although it was a makeshift bed, there was no word yet that the bed had collapsed. Dinner will be provided by the village. There is no restaurant outside the community center, so please take a break inside where it is safe. We would like to inform you that any accident that occurs outside the community center is your personal responsibility.”
After finishing speaking, Leon Thoros entered the village hall without looking back.
Eighteen passengers followed him in droves.
Fabian whispered to Elio.
“Looking at the knife-like response, it appears that the person in charge of transportation is from the Imperial Army.”
“Have you ever worked with the Imperial Army?”
“I only saw you from afar?”
“But why do you pretend to know?”
“Can’t you even talk? “It seems like you’re distracting me with work during the day, so please don’t be like that.”
“I?”
“yes.”
Fabian nodded with a confident face.
Elio felt a bit unfair, but he didn’t think Fabian would believe him if he said no, so he just shook his head.
The first floor of the community center was empty and empty.
After wandering around, the coachman approached Elio and his group, who had finally ascended to the second floor.
“A large room is assigned to each carriage. “You can go over there.”
The driver with his horse pointed to a point.
Although it was called a room, it was actually just a section divided by wooden planks.
However, since the partition was at the height of an adult’s shoulder, other people could not be seen when sitting or lying down.
As Elio and his group entered the designated area, Andrea Jeter approached as if he had been waiting.
“If you could decide which bed to use… … . “We’ll make do with what’s left.”
Elio looked around lightly inside.
There were three cots placed along the plank walls on the left and right, as if they were installed for a carriage.
He walked over to the nearby bed on the left and sat down on it.
Fabian and Count Larva Omar also approached the bed next to him.
Only then did Adria Jeter move to the bed on the right with her family.
Elio, leaning his upper body to the side, whispered to Fabian.
“Hey, are stagecoaches supposed to be pushed in one place and put to sleep like this? “Are you going to sleep because you’re scared of those people?”
“That’s why there are guards following you. “I will trust my guard and sleep well.”
“What kind of people are the guards?”
“These are mercenaries hired by the Stagecoach Transportation Association.”
“Are mercenaries trustworthy?”
“It may be unreliable, but you can trust the mercenary guild. In the mercenary guild, trust is vital. Unless they are determined to ruin you, they are good at managing mercenaries.”
“Are there any knights among the mercenaries?”
“of course. When free knights run out of money, they often join the mercenary guild. “You can think of knights not belonging to a territory as almost mercenaries.”
“I see.”
Elio, who was lying down with his arm pillowed, met the eyes of Andrea Jeter’s daughter, Syncrair Jeter.
Elio, seeing the little girl, thought of the daughter he left behind in his hometown and narrowed his eyes.
Synchre Jeter, who was startled for a moment, covered his head with a blanket.
After a while, she slightly lowered the blanket out of curiosity.
However, the bed of the young man who had blinked one eye at him was empty.
Out of frustration, a guard blocked Elio’s way out of the village hall.
“It’s dangerous outside the hall, so it’s best not to go out.”
“Is it dangerous even though it is an imperial territory?”
“Why aren’t there any inns or restaurants in this town? “This is an undeveloped area abandoned by the lord, so security is poor, and wild beasts sometimes prey on passers-by.”
Elio nodded and patted his waist.
Guard Duvalier, who saw the long sword, made his way without a second thought.
It’s not because they guessed the other person’s skills, but because they don’t feel the need to try to protect them.
Elio leisurely passed the guard and went out of the village hall.
It was nice to come out after being trapped in a narrow carriage for half a day, even though there was nothing to see.
They said security was bad, but no one approached them, perhaps because they were armed.
After taking a walk around the village, I was about to return to the village hall when I heard a woman’s scream from afar.
I quickly ran over and saw a huge gorilla waddling along with someone on its side.
The woman caught by the gorilla continued to scream, but no one came out.
Elio flew up into the air and landed on the gorilla’s back.
“Kaaaak!”
The gorilla screamed and swung its free hand backwards.
A huge palm swept Elio’s upper body.
At that moment, Elio pulled out his long sword like a thunderbolt and cut off the gorilla’s arm.
Suddenly!
With an eerie sound, one of the gorilla’s arms flew into the air.
“Kyaaa—!”
The gorilla, who was screaming, threw the woman away and ran away into the darkness.
However, his chest was pierced by a long sword that flew after him and he died.
Eventually, Elio, who sharpened the returned longsword, approached the woman.
Honey Cat, the woman who came back from the dead, continued to tighten her waist.
“thank you. thank you.”
Elio, who was looking at the woman with pitiful eyes, asked bluntly.
“I heard it’s dangerous, so why are you walking around at night?”
“I was on my way to the community hall. Something happened at home, so I left late and stopped… … .”
“Why are you there?”
“I have to prepare dinner for the out-of-town guests staying there.”
“… … .”
Elio turned his gaze to the night sky.
Why do you live in land abandoned by your territory? I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t speak.
Who would want to live in a place like this?
I guess that’s because this is the only place to live.
Honey Cat, who had been watching the young man for a while, cautiously opened his eyes.
“Um, I’m sorry, but can you come with me to the community hall? When something like that happened, I was so scared… … .”
Only then did Elio take a closer look at the woman.
My heart sank when I saw her youthful face where her breast fat had not yet disappeared.
“How old are you?”
“Nineteen.”
“I’m a lot older, so can I talk to you?”
“yes? yes.”
“let’s go.”
As Elio started to walk, Honey Cat hurriedly caught up with him.
The two did not open their mouths until they arrived at the community hall.
Upon reaching the community hall, Honey Cat bowed to Elio and disappeared into the kitchen.
The guards standing guard looked at Elio with strange eyes.
Some people whistled openly.
Elio knew why the guards were doing this, but they didn’t explain the context.
What do you mean, just because you did something great, you let America know about it?
Duvalier, who stopped Elio from going out, raised his thumb and said.
“You are truly a man with the heart of a beast.”
“I think there’s some misunderstanding… … .”
At that time, Honey Cat came out of the kitchen, handed Elio an apple and ran away.
This time the guards whistled as a group.
Duvalier waved his hand to stop with a face filled with envy and irritation.
Even transport manager Leon Toros came out due to a slight commotion at the entrance.
Elio, feeling like he was going to get into trouble for no reason, hurriedly left the place.
To the guards, ‘What’s going on?’ I heard the voice of the transportation manager asking, but I tried to ignore it.
When Elio returned from his outing, Fabian asked.
“Is there anything worth seeing?”
“doesn’t exist. It’s more desolate than the north. Guard says it is a land that the lord gave up.”
“no wonder! So the town was this small? “But how did you build the village hall?”
The answer to that question was given by Count Larva Omar.
“Maybe it was built by the Stagecoach Transport Association. “Because you would need a place to stay.”
Elio looked around the village and shook his head.
The village hall was clearly too large for the palm-sized village.
After a while, Elio and his group went down to the first floor when they heard the notification, ‘Please have dinner.’
