259 – Dungeons and Nymphs: A Nymph’s Journey # 2
I once entered an anomalous crack in a well to rescue Pignoy.
At that time, I fought against demon-shaped stone statues in a very large old castle-like place.
However, even though I entered the well the same way as before, this time what appeared in front of me was not an old castle, but a village scene with chimneys rising in an attractive manner.
The name of this village was “Pilgrim Way.”
It means the path of pilgrims.
This was all a story explained by Isabella, the village saint.
Surrounded by armed soldiers out of nowhere, we were invited to the village chief’s house and were treated very warmly.
I was shocked by the unexpected treatment of guests, such as dishes such as grilled chicken and beer in wooden glasses being placed on the table and being given a seat by a warm fire.
From noble mtl dot com
Oinoi said.
“They seem like very good people… ! Even though it is a world without water purifiers or showers, Oinoi really likes this pilgrim village… !”
As Oinoi was happy, the ladies and gentlemen watching us smiled happily.
“━─.”
“──.”
I couldn’t understand their words, but Oinoi’s words were automatically translated through the translation spell, so they could all understand.
The only person we could communicate with was Saint Isabella.
Said Isabella, covering her face with a white veil like her new bride.
“Oinoi…. It looks similar to a spirit that is said to have lived in a distant land a long time ago. “It’s very nice to see her resembling a little girl with her short, pointed ears.”
Nymphs were welcomed wherever they went.
This is because it appears harmless.
His actions were also innocent.
“That story is wrong… ! It is not that the cucumbers resemble small kores, but that the kores, like the cucumbers, resemble nymphs… !”
When Oinoi straightened his shoulders and spoke, the village people, who looked like innocent farmers, laughed and loved it.
People liked Oinoi just like a young granddaughter likes pranks.
But why did the soldiers try to capture Oinoi when they first met us?
At my question, Saint Isabella smiled seductively under her veil.
“It seems they were confused with another race. In this land, there are beings that take the form of spirits but are a little more evil and mischievous. It’s the devil. “They have tails.”
─Devil.
When that story came out of Saint Isabella’s lips, I could easily see that the mood of the farmers who were laughing at Oinoi suddenly became gloomy.
Zek-.
Saint Isabella stood up from her seat.
She closed the window curtains of her village chief’s house and pointed with her hand to the hills in the distance.
“That place is the castle of the Demon King Walpurgis Barbatos. “When Barbatos came to this land with destruction, our pilgrim village became isolated and became a land of eternal spring.”
At the edge of a high hill, a very large old castle sat majestically. Sharp spiers rose, and above them ominous crows were flying and caw-ing.
Immediately Saint Isabella bowed her head.
“You warriors from a distant, foreign land. To those of you who have met me for the first time, I would like to ask you a favor without shame. Please subdue the demon lord and save all 666 residents of our pilgrim village… !”

We set up base in the best guest’s room in the village chief’s house.
The bed was soft and there were five lights hanging from the ceiling, making it as bright as day.
“What do you think?”
The plague doctor asked me.
I answered simply.
“It’s a nice room. It feels like you’re in a movie or game. Why, games featuring warriors and adventurers.”
I liked RPGs.
Things like adventure and exploration.
The reason I was satisfied with my job as an awakener was because I felt like I was an adventurer or a hero in a game. In that sense, this “Pilgrim Village” Was exactly like the villages in my favorite games.
The pleasant sound of a lute echoes with the singing voice of a bard, soldiers in armor patrol, and a person called a ‘saint’ actually exists.
However, the plague doctor shook his head at my opinion.
“I didn’t ask that. You were asked to subdue the Demon King’s castle. It’s definitely a powerful monster. “It could be dangerous.”
Ah.
Was it there, not the village?
I looked at the Devil’s Castle outside the window again.
“First of all, our goal is to find Ms. Lee Ji-hoo and Kalinoi. I’m sure it’s somewhere in this crack. “I’ll have to ask the residents as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”
A combination of a very large horned owl and a girl.
No matter where you go, you are bound to be noticed, so someone must have seen them.
“I’m going to walk around the village a bit and then come back.”
Pot-!
The plague doctor walked towards the wide open window and went outside.
It looked like a free swallow flying across the rooftops of the village.
“It is very suspicious… !”
Oinoi opened his narrow eyes as he looked at the back of the plague doctor.
It’s not common for Oinoi to open his eyes so glumly and narrowly.
“This Oinoi thinks that person called the Plague Doctor is suspicious… ! As the chief nymph, I must find out what kind of face is behind that mask… !”
Oinoi showed motivation.
I slept with that feeling and the sun rose the next morning.
A day in the “Pilgrim Village” Started early in the morning.
I woke up to the chatter of women and girls drawing water from a well or a stream flowing in the center of the village, and the loud cheers of young men chopping wood.
It was described as a village, but looking at it calmly today, it seemed like it could be called a small city.
It had all the elements that would be present in an RPG, such as a blacksmith shop, a general store, and a weapon and armor store.
“The floor is soggy… ! Since there are no asphalt roads, walking is awkward… !”
Something is strange when the natural nymph Oinoi finds an asphalt road.
Oinoi seemed to have become a complete 21st century nymph.
Dangling dangling-.
I first entered a nearby store with a sign depicting a “Potion.”
As the bell on the door rang loudly, a red-haired woman with a teddy bear in her mouth looked at me with a listless expression.
I was wearing clothes that left my chest open, so I didn’t know where to place my eyes.
“Oh my, you’re wearing strange clothes. “It looks like you are a foreign guest.”
I could understand the voice coming from the lips of the woman wearing the cone hat. Did they use the magic of translation?
“I want to ask you something. Have you ever seen a girl with a big owl? “The owl is this big and the girl is this small.”
“If you are looking for someone, I can find you with my crystal ball. But it’s not free. Unlike Saint Isabella, I am Daleto, a woman called a witch. “I only accept mystical coins.”
Mysterious Coin!
Rummaging around.
I rummaged through my pocket and took out a whispering 500 won coin.
Then her witch Daletto took it from me and put it between her breasts.
“This is not enough. “I need to give you 10 more coins like this.”
Want 10 more whispering coins?
Unfortunately, there was no whispering coin in my pocket right now.
I looked at Oinoi, but Oinoi also said, “The harvest of coins under the refrigerator and under the closet has dropped significantly these days…” ! They say they are researching ways to artificially farm coins… !” She said.
“If you don’t have money, no one can find you.”
It was Daletto, the witch, making her snoring sound.
I told her.
“Then please give me back my coin.”
“Take it.”
Zek-.
A witch sticking out her breasts towards me.
Are you telling me to put my hand between her breasts and take out her coin?
“… ….”
I was very nervous.
If I put my hand out here, when everything is over, there will be a lot of posts on the Internet saying “Title: Haildo accident!”
So, awakened people must always be careful when contacting other civilizations within the rift.
“hehehe, it’s a joke. People in foreign lands often end up panicking.”
It was when the witch Daleto laughed.
I thought something came out of my pants pocket and she jumped between the witch’s breasts.
━Kkeongkeong… !
“Oh my.”
When Kungkungi, who had disappeared into the valley of warm skin, reappeared, there was a coin in his mouth! It was my 500 won bill! It’s absolutely nice!
As I was retrieving the coin, the witch placed the coin in her hand and looked back and forth. He even lifted her tail or opened her mouth to inspect.
“What a great dog squirrel. This is my first time seeing such a great dog squirrel. It could be considered a spirit creature or a legendary beast. “Okay, if you give me some of this dog squirrel’s tail hair, I can tell you your fortune.”
“Good.”
Square-.
The tail fur that he had worked so hard to grow over the past few days has been shaved off.
KengKengi, who was proud of her long, furry tail, let out a growl like an angry dog… !!! And fluffed up the fur all over her body.
I said this to appease that kind of person.
“When I return later, I will play with you by throwing the discus for an hour.”
━Crumbling… !!!
“2 Hours.”
━Kkeongkeong… !
Keongkeongi really liked throwing discus.
According to Oinoi, it’s because they have an instinct to hunt.
Anyway.
With that feeling, I was able to tell the witch her fortune.
“Okay. I got a good price. I am Daleto the witch. She is a friend of the same age as Saint Isabella, who had the same teacher. That means your skills are solid. Now, put her hand on her glass bead here.”
Zek-.
I placed my hand on a large glass bead like a nymph’s head.
A glass bead starting to shine.
“My love life is eventful. “I was originally destined to have 12 children, but after several encounters, my karma began to change.”
Having 12 children was something I heard about when I went to see a famous fortune teller in the past.
However, this was not what I was curious about.
“No, what I want to find is not love luck, but information about the tiger owl Kalinoi and a girl named Ijihu. “Please see if you can find it.”
“Hmm, just wait.”
Witch Daleto placed her hand on the back of her hand and recited her spell, “Yalu Balu.” Just when she thought it was a very strange spell, the image of a large horned owl appeared in her crystal ball.
They… , was locked in a dark-looking prison!
And around there, scary demonic stone statues were also seen.
“It’s a shout! “You’re trapped in a castle!”
I could see that Kalinoi and little Jihoo Lee were trapped in the devil’s castle in the distance. It was very important information and the moment when my direction was decided.
The witch said.
“It’s the devil’s castle… , You’re about to head to a dangerous place. Since you got the fine squirrel’s tail feathers, I guess I’ll give you some change. “But I don’t have any change.”
It seems that the tail hair of the catfish was a very valuable material.
I didn’t know I would even have to get change.
“No matter how great a dog squirrel is, it will not be easy to survive in the castle of Demon Lord Barbatos. In that sense, I will tell you a mysterious spell. Say ──.”
What?
What order is it?
When I tilted my head as if I did not understand, the witch Daletto muttered “Ah,” As if she had realized something, and then she spoke again.
“Say it’s a status window.”
