EP.11 Well, let’s do well with the same protagonist.
“Did you hear that rumor?”
“What rumors?”
“Why is that? An adventurer who wanders around a nearby village and hunts down bandits and monsters.”
One of the two men drinking ale at the inn, the one with the shaggy beard, said.
“You must be an adventurer who is very obsessed with money.”
“If you listen to the rumors, it’s not like that. Because some villages said they didn’t get a kickback.”
“Aren’t adventurers taking money? Yeki, man, do you believe in that? I’d rather a dog stop pooping.”
“It’s true. Uncle Zod, you may not know it because you travel a lot, but is it a rumor around here? Now, here are the two ales you ordered.”
Emily, the lady at the inn, placed two glasses of ale between them. At that, Zod burst out laughing.
“Is that so? Okay, then, let’s hear the name of the adventurer who volunteered.”
“Uh… I think I said Cloud, obviously. Adventurer Cloud!”
“Cloud? Where did you hear that name…”
Zod patted his head with his finger, in thought.
“Well, you’ve already heard the rumors, too.”
“no. ah! Yes, it seems that Cloud was among the names of the heroes announced by the Empire last time.”
“Warrior? Whoa! this man You are doing a serious job, would you like to hunt bandits in a place like this?”
“Ah, who said you were a hero? They just have the same name.”
“Still, I think it would be cool if you were a warrior. It’s like a hero to hide your identity and move for the people.”
“Emily, haven’t you read fairy tales until you’re that old?”
Emily frowned as she watched Zod giggle.
It was time for her to say something.
“Order here!”
The inn door opened and a man entered.
“Yes, come on…”
Emily’s smile as she was about to serve the customer hardened.
The trembling pupils were filled with fear.
“Emily! long time no see!”
The man who had just entered the inn smiled broadly.
However, the laughter of the man with a bloody impression covered with scars only made the atmosphere frozen.
“Ah… haha, yes. Long time no see, Mr. Calix…”
“What, Emily doesn’t seem to like me?”
“Oh, no. Could it be? Calix, there is an empty seat over there, so please sit there.”
The direction Emily was pointing was the table next to the man in the hood and eating soup.
Calix sat down in the seat Emily had pointed to and shrugged his shoulders on the chair.
“Do you have anything to order…?”
Emily, who was bubbly when dealing with the two uncles, withdrew quite a bit and behaved like a frightened girl when dealing with Calix.
Calix smiled as if it was fun again and tapped his table.
“I can’t hear you very well. Come closer and talk to me.”
“Oh, no. I’ll talk big. You’re going to order something…”
“Are you coming?”
As Calix frowned, Emily trembled and moved closer as he instructed.
“Yeah, it’s nice to do what you’re told. There is no need for me to be angry.”
A thick hand caressed Emily’s shoulder. It was an unpleasant feeling, but Emily clenched her teeth and held back.
Seeing this, Zod tried to stand up from his chair as if he couldn’t stand it any longer. His party caught it and dried it.
“I know what you’re trying to do, but hold on.”
“Are you going to be patient when you see a sight like this?”
“He’s the younger brother of the one-eyed bandit leader right next door to this town. If you touch it, the village will be devastated!”
“Is that guy?”
Zod bit this badly.
As your friend said, if that guy is the younger brother of the bandit leader, you shouldn’t attack him recklessly.
It’s impossible to win, and even if you win, bandits will come to loot the village using your brother’s revenge as an excuse.
Because of this, Zod had to watch Emily Lee, whom she had seen since childhood, be harassed by Calix.
“Why don’t you come with me? You can be treated much better than here.”
“I’ve told you several times, but I’m fine. So stop…”
A fight broke out between Calix, who wanted Emily to sit next to him, and Emily, who resisted him.
Emily resisted gradually, and then accidentally knocked on the table next to her.
Thanks to this, the soup the customer next to me was eating fell on the floor.
“Hey! I’m sorry, guest. I’ll get you a new one right away.”
“Where are you going! Do you want to sit here?”
“Why are you here..! I had to bring the new soup to the customer quickly.”
“It’s a trivial feat… Hey, bro. Would you like to bring your own soup?”
“…”
“what. Aren’t you going to answer me?”
When there was no answer, Calix, thinking that he had been ignored, frowned and laid his hand on Hood Nam’s table.
“Hey, answer…”
q
A sharp dagger pierced the back of Calix’s hand.
“Ouch! What are you doing, you bastard…”
Perhaps that alone was not enough, Hood Nam twisted the dagger.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
The flesh is torn and the bones are broken. Unable to bear his pain, Calix fell to his knees.
The man grabbed Calix’s hair and lifted him up. The man said as he looked at Calix trembling in excruciating pain.
“friend. It’s me, I was eating for a lively morning today. Although the taste buds were not dirty, I had to eat, so I ate even this porridge with honey honey. As I ate like that, did I see the bottom of the bowl? When I was about to feel the sense of accomplishment that I had finished eating, my friend overturned the bowl. But instead of apologizing, your friend gets angry? So how do you feel about me?”
“Heh heh heh… you, do you know who I am?”
bang!
The man slammed Calix’s head on the table.
“How do you feel about me?”
“You, you don’t know… I…”
bang!
“How do you feel about me?”
“My older brother… of the one-eyed bandits…”
bang!
“How do you feel about me?”
“Mom, you must be very angry.”
Calix answered with blood dripping down his forehead.
“right? So what should my friend say to me when he is angry?”
“That, that…”
bang!
“What should I say?”
“I’m sorry… I was wrong… I won’t do that again…”
“okay. If you made a mistake and offended the other person, you should apologize, right? You got the correct answer, so it was great. I’ll stamp it.”
bang!!!
Calix, who hit his head on the table stronger than ever before, passed out as it was.
.
.
.
“Huh..!”
Calix opened his eyes.
He was lying on the bed, not on the table. The hand that was pierced by his dagger was rolled up in a clean cloth.
“What is this…”
Calix remembered his last memory before passing out.
A hooded man who mercilessly threw his head on the table.
“That bastard..!”
Calix left the door.
You can see the empty hall of the inn on the first floor. There, Emily and the innkeeper were sitting.
“Oh, are you awake? My hands are fine…”
“Shut up!”
Calix carefully kicked the approaching innkeeper. He pointed at the innkeeper who had his butt-mill on the floor and said,
“Do you know if it’s okay to do this to me? Hang in there. The moment I go back and tell my brother, this village will be a waste.”
“Oh, no..! Please forgive me only once. He was a wandering traveler and had absolutely nothing to do with this town. No one in our village intends to go against the One-Eyed Bandits.”
“It’s not my job. And Emily!”
At the call of Calix, Emily became as hard as a stone. He raised the corners of her mouth and spoke softly.
“You will regret not taking my offer.”
Calix sprinted out the inn door as it was.
I strode towards the direction of the One-Eyed Bandit’s living quarters.
‘That bastard… he must’ve been away.’
I will chase after you on horseback and kill you for sure.
Calix spurred the pace. He soon arrived at the living quarters, but there were no guards in sight from the watchtower.
“…these bastards must have stretched their eaves again.”
It’s not like it’s happened once or twice, so Calix opened the door and entered the living room.
“Garlick! Listen to me. Some bastard in town…”
Calix’s taunts did not last until the end.
When he saw the sight in his eyes, his legs relaxed and he collapsed to the floor.
I had no choice but to do so.
“Are you seeing your friend again?”
Because that hood man at the inn earlier was sitting in the middle of the living room. Things that were bandits around him were lying on the floor.
“You… you… why are you here…”
Instead of answering, the man threw something at Calix.
It falls to the floor and rolls over a person’s head.
He was the head of Calix’s older brother, Garlic.
“Home visit.”
The man took off his hood and smiled.
The smile of the caught handsome man was refreshing, but Calix felt fear.
* * *
He robbed 12 bandit groups and killed the demons by catching and killing them.
Lv.20
Strength: E (130)
Agility: E (120)
Durability: F(100)
Magic power: F(95)
The result is this.
The inn lady, the status Emily told me.
As you can see, the level has risen by 3. All other stats went up by 15.
Since the level has risen by 3, the stat has increased by 15, so the stat has increased by 5 per level.
‘You really have a body like an asshole.’
The other heroes will go up by 8 or 9 every time they level up, but I alone go up by 5.
In the end, even if you level up, the basic hardware is inevitably different.
‘Well, that’s it, if you exercise hard or skip the inner podium.’
In the game, when you hunt monsters, there is a certain probability that you drop someone’s inner end.
If you consume the inner altar, your stats will increase, and what kind of stats will increase depends on whose inner altar you are.
‘By the way, it takes more time to level up than I thought.’
In the game, if you catch a few bandits, you level up. Maybe it’s because it’s real, the number of bandits needed to level up has skyrocketed.
This will mess up the plan a bit.
We decided to discard the plan to quickly finish leveling up and go find equipment.
From now on, level up and farm equipment at the same time.
“Hey, Cloud-sama..?”
A voice from behind broke my thoughts.
I turned around to see Amy with her face red and her head bowed.
What haven’t you come back yet?
“Why?”
“That… Thank you for helping the village this time. Everyone is happy that the bandits are gone.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. Everyone was struggling with the tyranny of the bandits. So, I decided to hold a festival in the village to express my gratitude to Cloud.”
“okay.”
“Yeah… So… If you’re okay with Cloud-sama, come with me…”
“I’m sorry, but I’m busy right now. Can you please leave?”
“Yeah..? Ah, yes… that, sorry you are busy…!!!”
Emily ran out of the room with a blush in her face.
I’m sorry for coldly rejecting you, but I couldn’t help it.
‘I can’t even yasu, but what are you doing to set the mood?’
A sweet atmosphere without yasu?
it’s just annoying
Ah. I want to get big root herbs quickly.
I sighed deeply and lay down on the bed.
‘The first thing you need to get is the rings.’
Rings, which are accessories that can be worn in ‘Brave’s Party’, each have special abilities.
Whether it raises magic resistance or increases attack power.
In addition, multiple rings can be worn at the same time, which greatly affects the character’s stats. So the more rings you can get, the better.
Starting from tomorrow, I will start from the pro or the capital of the kingdom, where the game begins, and follow the progress of the game to brush off the remaining rings.
‘Ah, on the way to the Prona Kingdom, shall we meet him once?’
A sequel to ‘Brave’s Party’ and a game that shares the same worldview.
The main character of ‘The Tale of an Affair’.
