chapter 134
134 – Dungeon of the Constellation (4)
Patriotism is a title given to a nobleman who is regent on behalf of the king.
Therefore, if we look at the current power structure in the Kingdom of Male, the current Tigris is the most powerful man right after the king.
As such a person suddenly spit and growled, the soldiers and knights had no choice but to turn their eyes white.
“Lord, please kill me! Hoguk-gyeong!”
When one quick-witted knight knelt down and bowed his head, both servants and knights bowed their heads.
Tigris threw him away when the soldier in his hand was foamed and stunned.
Startle!
Tigris looked around.
No one made eye contact with Tigris.
It was because he thought that if he made eye contact with Tigris, he would be as tough as a soldier who bit that bubble.
Tigris suddenly felt that this composition was very familiar.
Before his return, when Beowulf was cursed and unable to move even a single step from his bed, no one in Norverd could make eye contact with Tigris.
Some may want to rule through such fear, but for Tigris, it was touching the trauma of the past.
The failures, frustrations, and terrible days of the day Beowulf continued to lie ill passed before my eyes, to the point that it took my breath away.
“······after.”
Tigris took a deep breath.
He admitted that he was more excited than necessary.
I decided to calm my mind and only think about how to use the current situation.
As his head began to cool off, Tigris looked at the sacrifices with their heads bowed just like the knights.
When I saw the scars on their bodies, a good idea came to me.
“Do you think giants want a wounded sacrifice?”
At Tigris’ words, the knights and soldiers did not say anything.
Whether Tigris is right or wrong, you shouldn’t say anything right now.
He had no choice but to hold his breath and hope that Tigris’ wrath would dissipate.
“These women are so sore that if the giants refuse their offerings, I’m asking you if you’re going to offer your wives too.”
“Kill me! Hoguk-gyeong!”
Tigris knew very well how to wield the power emanating from fear.
Now, no one was able to refute Tigris’ words, and even if Tigris did something beyond common sense, no one could stop it.
Humans, who are immersed in fear, do not think deeply, and by the time their reason returns, they often remember what they did wrong.
Tigris snatched the handcuffed key pack that the knight had been praying for.
“I will hand over these sacrifices today myself.”
At that moment, one of Tigris’ eunuchs barely raised her head and opened her mouth.
“Hoguk-gyeong. Today’s luncheon with Viscount Campbell…”
When Tigris shot the eunuch, he shuddered and shook his head.
“Sorry, sorry. I will inform you that it will be canceled due to circumstances.”
Tigris said to the commander of the Griffon Knights.
“Put the women in the convoy.”
“The escort of the guard is…”
“There is no need for an escort. let me figure it out If I put a vomit on my horse again, I will strike the sutra myself.”
The knights and soldiers, who were exhausted by Tigris’ charisma, urgently loaded the women into the convoy.
“no! no!!!”
The women struggled because they did not want to be dragged away.
The women’s sharp claws scratched the soldiers’ cheeks and arms, but the soldiers did not even touch the women.
It was because Tigris was staring at the soldiers who were touching the women.
The soldiers forced the women into the wagon and closed the door.
And handed Tigris the key to the grate.
Tigris was handed the key and got on the driver’s side.
The coachman trembled like an aspen when the guards climbed next to him.
“What? I’m not leaving.”
“Yes! yes! All right.”
The coach set off a wagon led by as many as 10 horses.
The wagon slowly moved out of the castle, and the remaining knights and soldiers stared blankly at the vanished patriot’s wagon.
“Captain, how do you do this?”
“······I do not know. I have to tell the King first.”
The knight commander started to get a headache as to how to report this fact.
* * *
Maybe five hours have passed since I rode the carriage?
The wagon began to slow down sharply.
When Tigris looked at the coachman, he said, sweating profusely.
“Ho, Gook-gyeong Ho. It seems that those words are tired. It has rained and the ground is muddy…”
“How long until the giants live?”
“Ahre has to go further by carriage.”
Tigris thought for a moment.
If it is a distance to go to Ahre at this speed, it can be reached in two days, assuming that Tigris does not sleep.
‘I can find out the exact location of the giant to the coachman and throw them away.’
Tigris didn’t even want the seat of the Patriots to disappear when he attacked the dungeon.
There’s only one thing I’m crazy about.
Beowulf’s comfort.
Tigris looked back.
The women shivered from the cold and hugged each other.
It was raining a little in the morning and it seemed to get cold.
“I need to rest for a while.”
“yes. you’re right.”
“Is there a village where I can rest?”
“Yes. A little further away, there is a small castle called Nagol. yes.”
“Go there.”
“Yes. All right!”
The coachman slapped the horse in the back with a whip.
“Come on guys, let’s go a little bit longer. Then you can rest.”
As the coachman said, we went a little further and a castle called Nagol appeared.
Tigris handed the coachman a small nugget of gold from the subspace pocket.
When the driver saw the gold nugget, he was greatly surprised and his eyes widened like an owl.
“No, this is…”
“This will be enough to buy food for the women and hay for the horses. If you have the money, let the women bring you a thick, quality duvet or leather to cover.”
“Are you talking about blankets for women?”
Tigris said, pointing to the women who were talking.
“If those women get lung disease, wouldn’t it be a problem? Be sure to bring quality items.”
“Yes! yes! All right! Hoguk-gyeong!”
“I’ll be guarding here, so let’s go.”
The coachman ran to save me.
Tigris picked up the key pack as the coachman disappeared from sight.
Now it was meant to set the women free and go on their way.
I couldn’t delay any longer here.
Jii ing
At that moment, the signal in Tigris’ arms vibrated.
‘This?’
This signal created by Bastian had the ability to vibrate when there were crew members within 1km.
That meant there was a crew in this castle.
Hunting the giants is urgent, but joining the crew is also important.
If you are in a difficult situation right now, the power and strength of Tigris can help you.
Tigris got back on the driver’s seat once again.
Currently, the Tigris is very bouncy.
A man named Ho Guk-gyeong brought only a coachman to Nagol Castle, and he couldn’t help but think it was strange.
Everyone in Nagol should already know where Tigris is, so Tigris will come to you from there without needing to move.
Did you wait 10 minutes?
A woman appeared with a group of soldiers and what appeared to be the city officials.
It was a woman Tigris knew all too well.
She was Princess Rain Rover.
Tigris reflexively tried to show respect, but stopped.
No matter what position Princess Rain Rover holds in the current Male Kingdom, she cannot be higher than Tigris.
Tigris looked at Princess Rain Rover without even coming down from the driver’s seat.
Princess Rain Rover naturally greeted with a skirt.
“Hoguk-gyeong. It is such an honor to meet you. My name is Miya, the lord of Nagol.”
Tigris was always the first to show respect, but when the opposite happened, Tigris was a little strange.
And more than anything else, the nerves that had stood on the edge of impatientness completely subsided and I became more comfortable.
Princess Rain Rover had the ability to calm Tigris’ heart just by looking at it.
Tigris came down to the driver’s seat and opened his mouth.
“Nice to meet you. castellan.”
“When I heard that Ho Guk-gyeong personally visited Nagol with sacrifices, I doubted my ears. Did anything happen?”
Tigris looked at the soldiers and said.
“It’s hard to tell here, so let’s talk about it separately. Can I leave the soldiers to escort the sacrifices for a while?”
“Yes. Sure.”
When the Rain Rover beckoned, the soldiers formed an escort formation in unison.
“I’ll come talk to you for a while, so please stay here waiting.”
“Yes. All right!”
Tigris and Rain Rover headed to a nook where people couldn’t see them.
When no one was looking, Rain Rover hugged Tigris tightly.
“Sir Tigris. I am very glad to have met you here.”
Tigris paused in embarrassment for a moment, but then gently embraced the Rain Rover.
Rain Rover was also acting like it was nothing, but it was never okay.
All of a sudden, people around me called me Seongju, and suddenly they gave me the payment documents…
Trisha had told her that this would happen, but she couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
It was because I had no idea what was going on by looking at the documents.
“So how did you do it?”
“I just set out with my own feet, saying that I had to visually check that the numbers of horses, weapons, and food stockpiled were correct. I have to get out of this castle today or tomorrow anyway, so I’m going to take a look at the escape route.”
The Rain Rover was also a Rain Rover.
He was very embarrassed, but he dealt with it very resolutely.
“But did you know that the number of horses and the wheat stockpile don’t match at all? So, I tried to give up the swearing and swearing with the scribe, but I put up with it. Just by looking at it, it was clear that he was wearing clothes secretly.”
For some reason, it seemed that the officials following Rain Rover were sweating profusely in this cold weather, and that seems to have happened.
“Aren’t you too obsessed with Seongju’s work?”
“Just looking at it makes me angry. How can the number of horses differ by 21 and the wheat stockpile in half? How will the people in this city spend the winter that is soon to come…”
Rain Rover burst out laughing at the thought that he had been too engrossed.
“Certainly, it seems that I was too engrossed in Seongju’s work. Anyway, it doesn’t matter here.”
Rain Rover fell after resting in Tigris’ arms.
“Haha… it’s healing.”
“Are you talking about healing? Where are you hurt?”
“no. Here’s a buzzword. It means peace of mind.”
“Have you already learned the trendy language?”
“Is it common for people to use it? Doesn’t something stick to your mouth? You should use it often.”
“·················ogue.”
Rain Rover said, tidying up Tigris’ outfit.
“By the way, Lord Tigris is the national guard. It suits you very well, right?”
“Princess Rain Rover seemed to fit well with the position of the lord of the castle.”
“Well, it wasn’t that difficult to act thanks to that. But the problem is, it’s not easy to get out of here.”
Since Rain Rover is Team C, they have to head to Lake Sellos.
However, since it was the only castle in Nagol Fortress, it seemed that it was not easy to escape from this place.
“Wherever I go, one of my exclusive maids or knights is bound to follow. There’s even a maid following you in the bathroom, right?”
“But now, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, it’s the first castle that Gook-gyeong Ho visited after passing away knights and high-ranking officials in the capital. If you are a maid or a soldier, you should get out of it.”
“Have the rumors been out already?”
“About an hour ago? I received a direct call from the royal family to Sujeong-gu. Since Hoguk-gyeong went this way after paying a tribute, I want you to hold it as much as possible.”
Rain Rover said with a smirk.
“I heard you said what to do if the sacrifice to the giants got hurt? You have a really good heart.”
“It just created an excuse to get out of the capital.”
“Well, I believe it is. Anyway, I can’t spend much time here. The Knights of Griffon will probably come within two or three hours.”
When the Griffon Knights cling to each other, annoying things happen.
Then there is only one way.
“I need to get out of here quickly.”
“First, we go out with the sacrifices. The news I just heard is that a group of lions have been found at the eastern gate.”
A Lioner is a level 5 monster just like an Orc.
In addition, since they are monsters that swarm like orcs, it was common sense for merchants and mercenaries to run away when they found traces of the Lioners on their way.
“If you leave a trail of being attacked by a swarm of Lioners, you can avoid being pursued.”
“It also has a perfume that attracts monsters, so you can actually make them attack you.”
“Isn’t that originally meant to be used to lure the Knicks?”
“There is enough. Just one drop should be fine.”
No matter how many swarms of Lioners rush, the Rain Rover will never be in danger.
Everything will be sorted out on the Tigris Line.
“Do you know the location of Lake Celos?”
“yes. It was three days east of Nagol Castle, assuming we were going on horseback.”
“Then you can move with me and break up near Lake Sellos.”
Once the decision was made to accompany the Rain Rover on a temporary basis, there was only one problem left.
“But I don’t know for what reason I should accompany you.”
“Ummm… what if we said we would support the escort forces? I’m going in the middle too.”
“If that happens, the escorts may be killed by the Lioner hordes.”
Rain Rover grinned.
“It’s also true that people are concerned. You didn’t want to see those girls get hurt, so you got mad then?”
“I just don’t want to see an innocent person die. And there was a reason.”
“Well, I’ll believe it.”
Rain Rover was really good whenever Tigris’ gentle side was shown occasionally.
This is proof that the Tigris before the return and the Tigris now are completely different people.
Rain Rover thought deeply and then snapped his finger as he thought of a good idea.
“Well, then we just do it like a fool.”
“Are you reckless?”
“There’s a stealth artifact, so I’ll use it to sneak onto Sir Tigris’ chariot. Anyway, there are no wizards and no artifacts in this Nagol Castle who can figure out circle 5 magic. Do you think the problem will be easily solved later if only the driver and the women cook it?”
Come to think of it, it wasn’t that bad.
If Rain Rover was the real owner of Nagol Castle, then this place is inside the dungeon of the constellation anyway.
What happens here has no outside influence.
There is no need to look at others.
“Let us do that. But didn’t you say that maids follow you to the bathroom?”
“Well, I’ll figure it out on my own. I’ll just stun him for a brief moment with bolt magic or something.”
After materializing some of the plans, Tigris went out with the Rain Rover.
Heading to the carriage, Tigris’ coachman was feeding the horses hay, and the women were holding hard bread in their hands.
As if the coachman followed Tigris’ orders well, the women were each covered with thick sabre-tooth furs one by one.
“Hoguk-gyeong!”
As soon as the coachman saw Tigris, he brought a change of money with him.
“I have some change left.”
When I opened the pocket, there were 8 silver coins and 10 fairy tales stamped with the seal of the Kingdom of Male.
Tigris put his pockets in his arms.
Rain Rover spoke politely to Tigris. .
“Then I will prepare hay for the horses to eat. Anything else you need?”
“No. castellan.”
“Then I will.”
Rain Rover looked at the soldiers and said.
“Hey, get some hay to feed the horses in 30 minutes!”
The soldiers looked at the Rain Rover with bewildered expressions.
“Where should I put the hay?”
“Where are you? Wouldn’t it be better to put it in the iron cage the women over there are riding on?”
“ah! Yes. Okay. I will prepare it right away.”
Rain Rover said yes.
“Then I will let you go. I wish you all the best.”
* * *
30 minutes later.
As Rain Rover commanded, the soldiers loaded hay into the cages for the horses to eat.
As Tigris said, the women laid piles of dry, warm hay on the floor and covered them with saber-tooth leather.
With a tired body, a fluffy haystack, and even a thick saber-toothed leather to soothe the cold, some women began to doze off.
“I loaded all the hay. Hoguk-gyeong.”
Tigris took out his pocket watch and checked the time.
The 30 minutes we promised with the Rain Rover have passed.
Tigris said to the coachman.
“Then let’s get going.”
“Yes. All right.”
Although the wagon got a little heavy, the horses began to pull the wagon eagerly, knowing that they had hay for their food.
And when they arrived at the eastern gate of Nagol Castle, the soldiers and knights began to move around busily.
-shit! The Holy Lord has disappeared! Come on find it!
– Where the hell has the Lord gone?
At that moment, someone sat next to Tigris.
Although invisible to the naked eye, Tigris knew who it was.
It was a Rain Rover.
Rain Rover wrote with his finger on the back of Tigris’s hand.
[Come on.]
And Rain Rover took Tigris’ hand.
Tichrist took hold of Rain Rover’s hand.
Although the Rain Rover’s face was not visible, Tigris was sure it was smiling.
