chapter 2
Episode 1. Gathering warriors (2)
“This is enough for the record.”
I don’t know if these events will really happen, but I wrote down the trials the warriors will endure in the future and the locations of the artifacts on parchment.
In case you didn’t know, it was written in Korean, not the language used by the Pretium Empire. It seems that Hangeul is not used in this world, so it will look like an ancient language to others.
“After… Your hands are all stained with ink.”
Feeling sorry that this world is not modern, I put a feather pen into the inkwell.
I sighed as I reread the letters listed on the parchment one by one.
“Are you cheating in the real game?”
The more the information of my memories of playing the game matches the information of Prause’s memories of living in this world, the more I recognize that this world is the game world of the three warriors of Pretium.
“There are so many things to endure in the future.”
Things I didn’t even pay attention to while playing. It was enough to just follow the progress.
However, as long as it became a reality, if you couldn’t take initiative, you couldn’t respond to the incident and just got caught up in it.
Of course, the best thing would be if these things didn’t happen, but if this world was the three warriors of Pretium game world I knew, it would inevitably happen.
So prepare, but don’t be sure.
I pack my things.
It was mainly money, clothes to change into, emergency food to eat at any time, and a sword for self-defense.
I drew my sword and checked the condition of the blade.
This world was a place where there were no laws like in modern times, and life easily disappeared. He had to defend his own life.
Unfortunately, however, Prause was a human who hadn’t even been trained for 19 years.
In other words, he was a human who could not even protect himself by himself.
The [Living] Skill was also for bluffing, so if the opponent ignores it and jumps at it, it could die.
For this part, I was thinking of saving the three heroes first and then making preparations. Whatever it is, if you can’t gather warriors, you’ll be destroyed.
After inserting the sword into the scabbard, wear it around the waist. Carry a bag
His body staggered slightly. He was tired from spending a whole day writing on parchment.
But he couldn’t sleep now.
There was something I absolutely had to do today.
I left the house shaking my head vigorously.
Close the doorknob and leave the house.
I look around and take a step.
It was very strange to see a panoramic view with nothing but nature after only seeing the huge buildings and countless cars passing by every time.
“Prause? Where are you going?”
A farmer who was harvesting wheat on a wheat farm on the outskirts of town spoke to me. I looked at him.
[「Live」Is activated.]
Again. A hologram sentence appeared in front of me like a game play.
The farmer is startled. It seemed that my skill was causing a nuisance again.
What if a skill is used just by looking at it?
“F-Prause, don’t look at me like that… ….”
‘Ah, sorry.’
“I’m sorry.”
What is this short talk?
Looking at it, he’s older than you. What kind of tone are you talking about…….
“I came because I had to go to Pretium. Don’t ask why.”
This crazy…….
“That’s right.”
That was the end of the conversation. He couldn’t continue the conversation because the farmer ran somewhere in a hurry.
It seemed that the farmer had kindly attached a word to it, but my words and actions did not allow it.
I’m sorry, really.
* * *
“…… Is it Prause?”
“Yes.”
I said, looking at the coachman who was washing the wagon in the stable. Where did you sell your respectful words?
“Oh, you cheeky bastard. Yeo, yeoyeon, isn’t there any respect for the elders?”
“Yes… …. Do you want me to?”
“…… No, no matter what, it’s okay.”
“I see.”
I nodded. Is this world lenient towards the elderly? Come to think of it, even the main character’s dialogue in the game was half-spoken.
“So, how did I find it?”
“I am going to the capital.”
I said with my head turned. It seems that living only applies to creatures within sight, so it was a measure for a more comfortable conversation.
“Money?”
“Enough.”
As I jingled the purse, the coachman put a smile on his nervous face. A satisfactory look.
“It takes sixty fairy tales to go to the capital. If you don’t like it, I won’t burn it.”
“I’ll give you a silver coin. Instead, speed up as quickly as possible. You may have to stop once along the way, or you may have a companion. Are you okay?”
“…… Good.”
Considering that a hundred copper coins are one silver coin, from his point of view, he can earn more than 1.5 Times more, so it doesn’t matter what conditions he puts in.
I handed him a silver coin.
“Ride right away. Depart.”
I nodded.
I climbed onto a wagon with a tent.
“But what are you going for?”
I’m sorry, but it’s difficult to tell you.
Okay. I just thought All you have to do is speak.
“I don’t know.”
…… Cheopbal.
“A bastard who is not cheap.”
The coachman snorted at him and he didn’t say anything more.
Jumping!
The inside of the carriage shook violently as if the wagon wheel had caught on a rock.
Ah, I miss cars. I miss the asphalt on the road.
I longed for the world I lived in and thought about the problems I would face in the next two days.
The first hero was living as a slave under someone who was living as a construction site worker.
At this time, manpower was mobilized to build a windmill outside Pretium Castle. At that time, a 10-year-old warrior was forced to work, and an accident caused the owner’s daily wage to be cut.
For that reason, the angry worker beat the hero, and in the process, the broken ribs stabbed his organs and he died.
That was the first hero’s death episode.
That’s why I couldn’t save that child because I was stupid from the beginning.
Because it happened at the construction site just before sunset on October 1st, 990 Imperial Era, they had to reach the vicinity of Pretium before that time.
When I thought of the timing and time, it wasn’t tight.
However, there was a possibility that the incident could happen before that, so there was nothing wrong with going there in advance.
* * *
“Ugh. My back hurts…….”
I had to sleep in the carriage for two full days, so I couldn’t sleep properly, and only my neck and back hurt.
I couldn’t be kind to my body because I was walking on a dirt road at high speed.
“Are you awake?”
I nodded.
“But won’t you tell me when to stop? I have to tell you whether to stop or not. Damn you son of a b*tch.”
“There will be a windmill building near Pretium. You can stop there.”
“That’s true. No-frills guy What are you going to the construction site for?”
“I don’t know. Drive the wagon.”
The tone is really… ….
Now I just decided to give up.
I know that continuing to use this tone will only increase the number of enemies, but what can I do? The skill looks like this.
I’m sure Prause was beaten to death by the villagers before meeting the main character.
It can be said that it is a miracle that he is still alive.
That’s how I reached the place where I could see the walls of Pretium, the capital of the empire. Just before sunset, workers were seen carrying stones near the walls.
It didn’t seem too late.
“Just wait here.”
“Yes.”
With the coachman’s answer, the carriage stops.
I put ten fairy tales next to where he was sitting. Even if it wasn’t intentional, it was an act of apology because it was what I said in the end.
“What does this mean?”
“It means you suffered.”
“Have you already received the promised money?”
“This is a tip. I have no idea.”
It must be my mouth that doesn’t notice.
“Huh…… On the subject of having plenty of money because of Ji’s father. If you spend a lot of money like this, it will be gone in no time.”
“That is far-fetched. I know what to do.”
“A bastard with no buds. But money is not guilty.”
Chuckles. I was glad that I felt relieved.
“Stay here. Come on for a while.”
Get off the wagon and walk to the construction site.
Since several windmills were installed at once, I had to look where the first hero was attached to the windmill.
As I walked, I noticed that there were more than one windmill construction site. Going on like this seemed like it would take too much time.
The first hero might still be beaten, so I decided to hurry.
Enter the construction site. A person who appears to be a manager who was giving instructions to the workers sees me and approaches me.
“Huh? Who is that?”
“I came to find someone. Is there a man named Folde among the workers?”
He said while staring at the ground.
Folde. It was a worker who enslaved the first hero.
“Looks like a young man. Your tone is nasty.”
“…… Stop talking nonsense, talk.”
Because it seems like my mind is going to turn around because of the complicated tone.
“Ha… young-“
I raised my gaze from the ground.
“Ugh!”
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
“What, what…… !”
“A man named Folde, where is he?”
His jaw clicked as I looked. I can’t even speak out of fear. I sighed and set my eyes on the ground.
“Heo Eok! All, who are you…… ?”
“You talk a lot. Just tell me where Folde is.”
“…… Well, there is windmill number 3 after passing the corner of the castle wall over there. There will be a folde there.”
“I see. I get it.”
As soon as I heard the answer, I turned around. I was already tired of the misunderstandings that piled up every time I spoke.
“I don’t know what happened, but don’t get into trouble.”
“Don’t worry.”
I spoke without looking back at the worried voice coming from behind my back.
It was about the time he reached the number 3 windmill he pointed out.
I saw a man forcibly dragging a little boy with white fox ears.
“I found it.”
I hurriedly ran away.
What can I say to convince you? Can i do it
How much money are you willing to hand over?
While contemplating how to resolve the situation, I stepped into the forest without hesitation.
“Hey, you bastard!”
Puck!
A dull sound came along with the man’s screams.
“Sorry! I’m sorry- oops!”
“Do you think I lost several days of my wages because of you?! You weak bastard who can’t even carry a single material!”
f*ck!
“You son of a slave! Owner’s money! If you lose it, you have to look for it! f*ck!”
“Sorry… Ugh! Save…… Lord, please…….”
Puck! Puck!
The closer you get, the clearer the sound of the beating is heard, and you accelerate your steps. But never run
Keep your distance. Because i can’t fight
Basrak. The clothes rub against the leaves.
The man who heard the sound looked this way.
“Stop it.”
“What are you—”
“If you don’t want to die.”
Sereung. I glared at him and pulled out my sword for self-defense.
