I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 280

280. East, Yulguk (7)

I was able to hear the story about the malevolence of Wolguk from Jeom Soi in the guesthouse.

The woman said that there are three breasts in total.

She didn’t think it was that strange.

It is only natural that there are many stars in the sky.

Anyway, since I spent all my money in the inn and got beaten up by a petty turtle, I was afraid that my sister’s work might be affected, so I was more motivated.

‘That, yes… I’ll get rid of the scar…!’

‘That’s not what Jeto meant. What Jeto-nim asked me to do was to gather information.’

‘Is there any other reason to seek out harmful stars, if not to shoot them? I will take the lead. Follow me soon It’s an opportunity for you to be praised too.’

The tortoise didn’t seem to like it, but I took him and left to find the castle.

The first place I met the scar was a small village located on the outskirts of Wolguk in the eastern direction that Jeom So-yi told me about. I grabbed the farmer by the neck as he hurriedly entered the house and asked.

‘Where are you going in such a hurry?’

The farmer, who was caught by the scruff of his neck and fell backwards, swallowed his saliva as if he was surprised by my strength.

‘No, no money.’

‘No, no. I’m not a thief, I just asked because I was really curious. Why are you rushing in?’

‘Are you asking because you don’t know? If you want to live, you have to get home before you meet them.’

I was convinced when I heard the terrified farmer’s voice.

Are you right?

It is clear that there is a malevolence of Wolguk here.

As I licked my lips at the thought of eating dumplings as a reward, I asked the farmer.

‘Where are they?’

As it turned out, the monsters were a group of beasts that came down from the mountains and harmed the farmers.

But they weren’t normal beasts.

They looked like dogs that walked on two legs, not four.

The turtle calls them ‘noll’.

There were so many of them that they lived in a valley with wooden outer walls and houses. It was the first time I had ever met a beast smart enough to build a building.

“Wait a minute. Wolguk’s ferocity was only ‘noll’?”

Suddenly, Jeto raised his hand and cut off my conversation. He frowned at this.

“It’s just a game? Are there a lot of them?”

Let’s go.

Thinking back, it was the Kingdom of Noll.

Yes, it must have been a kingdom.

“No matter how much it is, the kingdom seems to have too many leaps. A garrison is suitable.”

“…Hmm.”

The voice of Keraf, who always interrupted, made him feel bad and turned his head away.

There’s a lot of talk about turtles that don’t help in battle.

Anyway, I stood in front of the gates of the kingdom of Gnoll at the ‘garrison level…’.

Then the guy standing guard on the wall found me and started flirting with his comrades.

‘How did that little boy get here?’

‘I don’t think it tastes good because I don’t have much flesh.’

‘Kel-kel… How soft a child’s flesh is…’

It was only then that I found out why there were so many empty houses in the village. They seem to be preying on humans nearby.

I don’t know much about ‘noll’, but I know very well that a man-eating beast should not be left unattended.

Especially, I heard that those guys are the ones who eat away at our great lycanthropes. Just for the reason that they resemble a little, very little.

Surely the turtle hiding behind the tree asked me a similar question.

‘Isn’t he still a relative of yours?’

‘Relatives…? A beast like that?’

That wasn’t even funny.

I jumped up the wall at once.

I don’t know who the wall was built to block people from coming in, but it wasn’t built to prevent the invasion of the Lycan Slope.

It didn’t take much time to split the cages and rip off the necks of the two poor gnolls.

I threw Gnoll’s head at the turtle and said.

‘If there was a lycanthrope with such a terrible mane, it would have been eliminated without finding a mate for the rest of its life.’

The unlucky tortoise said nothing like a mute who had eaten honey.

“That’s disgusting…”

“That’s why you showed even worse.”

“Ahhhhh…”

Keraph barely endured nausea, perhaps recalling the scene of the indiscriminate slaughter in his head.

“So you’re saying that Volk’s mane is bigger than Gnoll’s?”

“Well, that’s right… I’ve never revealed it in front of you guys…”

“How does that feel?”

Zetto’s voice sparkles.

What can I say? Did you feel like you were interested?

“If I had to question it, it would be similar to hair…”

It was quite burdensome to see the unidentifiable gaze from a blind man.

Soon, Jetto reaches over my head and starts weaving his hair.

“Ohhh… I don’t think I took care of it, but it’s softer than I thought.”

What is this guy doing all of a sudden?

Anyway.

I ran into the kingdom of gnoll alone and turned it into a mess.

The guys called play seem to have low intelligence or fearlessness, but they shoot crossbows even though they have claws.

Unlikely, the arrows are coated with poison.

Those who had never been hunted like that became frightened prey and started running away from me.

Among the gnolls running everywhere, there was one wearing a soldier’s helmet, and he seemed to be the king of the gnoll kingdom.

Perhaps the helmet was not a crown.

I returned to the village carrying the boy’s head.

The humans in the village are out to see if they heard Gnoll’s screams.

The old man, who was the oldest among the humans and was bent over with a cane, saw Noll’s neck and shouted.

‘Finally… He finally fell…!’

Yes.

That guy was the malevolent star of Wolguk.

Huh?

Why didn’t you bring the head?

It was the turtle’s opinion.

I put his head in a human field proudly.

I heard that it plays the role of a ‘scarecrow’ that makes it run away when it sees another animal or play.

Ah, I don’t know what a scarecrow is.

I just thought there would be nothing wrong with listening to the clever turtle.

“You did a good job, but unfortunately it’s not the scar I was looking for.”

Jetto who stroked my hair said so.

“The tortoise said that too. So we moved nonstop to find another scar. It’s true. We didn’t play or rest.”

That wasn’t the scar you were looking for?

Then what about this time?

The next thing he visited was Hyeongseong, the owner of a bar that said he picks out and captures pretty girls.

But it’s pretty big for a bar.

When I first saw that tall building, I thought it was a castle where the king lived.

“A bar?”

“It was a Giru called Aewolru.”

From noble mtl dot com

“How did you take Volk to Giru…?”

“I’ll explain that.”

Aewolru.

That was the name of the bar.

When I tried to enter the bar, two big guys in the doorway stopped me.

‘This is no place for a child like you to come.’

‘I’m not a child.’

I looked at the turtle.

Those kinds of things were usually a guy’s main job.

But even the turtle couldn’t solve this problem.

‘Some idiot spent all his money on an inn, so I have no money to give them.’

The shameless guy blamed me.

Even after eating dumplings.

“That’s…”

Keraph stood up, his face flushed, but Jetto restrained him.

“hahahaha, let’s listen more.”

Yes, yes.

Why do you keep interfering and making a fuss?

It was then that the ‘key’ appeared.

A woman came up behind us and started talking to me.

‘Hmm? What is the little boy doing here?’

She’s not hot or hot, but the woman wearing cool clothes that exposed her skin somehow reminded me of my sister.

I pointed to the door of the bar without answering her question.

‘You want to enter Giru? Hmm…’

The woman who was worried about her ended up hugging me and went into the bar together. She said excitedly that she would introduce me to her older sisters.

Even the big guys didn’t stop.

I’m just saying, but they were able to save her life thanks to that woman.

Because there could have been an easier way.

The woman whose body smelled of her strong perfume was named Hwain.

After parting with the turtle for a while, I ended up in a room full of women.

A room full of an unknown strong smell.

Women dressed like painters were patting white powder on her face while looking in the mirror.

Hwain explained me to them.

The women started paying attention one by one.

‘A young guy has already been clamoring to join Giru… Hey, did you get your bachelor ticket?’

‘Bachelor ticket…?’

‘I’m asking if you’ve slept with a woman.’

‘Of course not.’

‘Oh, who?’

‘With my sister. Every night.’

The women were startled by my answer.

Rather than that, why is your reaction like that?

That’s it. I’m not even curious

She was frowning because she didn’t understand the meaning anyway, but Hwa-in sorted out the situation.

‘That, she must have just seen her sleeping.’

‘Isn’t that true?’

‘That’s right. Sisters are really…’

‘So why did you want to come here?’

In response to the ensuing question, I explained my purpose.

‘I heard that there is a man called Yeong-gyo here.’

‘Yeonggyo…? Are you talking about Ruju?’

‘I came to kill him.’

At my declaration, the women closed their mouths again as if they had heard something they couldn’t hear.

But it was a slightly different reaction than before.

The smell that circulated in the room at that time was that of frightened humans.

Finally, the red-faced painter patted my back and tried to send me away.

‘Little boy, I don’t know who the older sister you were talking about was… I think you’d better go home today. I know you’re upset, but that won’t make your sister come back.’

At last, one of the women started to shed tears, and the other women also cried.

I had no idea what he was talking about.

“It seems that he was mistaken for his younger brother who came to find his sister who was kidnapped by Giru.”

“I guess so. Ha, oh… I can’t believe that happened…”

“Is that so?”

What kind of bullsh*t is that?

There’s no way my sister would be kidnapped.

I shook off the angry man who was crying.

As I stepped out into the hallway, I found the turtle that was looking for me. In the meantime, the tortoise found Yeong-gyo’s location.

‘Good luck. Rouge is currently on the top floor of Giru.’

Listening to the turtle’s explanation, it was clear that this guy was the evil spirit of Wolguk.

I heard they kidnap women who go alone at night and treat them without paying a single penny.

Is that kind of thing called a slave?

But the tortoise said that this is not right, as there is no slavery in the country of Yue.

I moved my feet to the top to get rid of the chest.

‘What kind of bastards are they!’

‘Go away!’

The men guarding the place found us and stopped us.

I cut open their stomachs, pulled out their entrails, and ripped off their skins.

Is it because I saw women similar to your sister crying? I might have been a little emotional.

As soon as their screams resonated, the guys with weapons rushed at me from all sides.

Knoll’s legs were so fast that it was rather annoying. Dealing with humans rushing at him in a fit of rage after the death of a comrade was common, so it was easier than eating cold porridge.

Because that was my ‘way of doing things’.

I arrived in front of the door at the top before it was too late.

‘Nobody… Is there anyone… Is there anyone…?!’

When I opened the door, there was a plump man crawling on the floor ungainly.

I immediately grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the parquet with a panoramic view of the city.

I pushed him over the railing.

The guy who was dangling dangling with my hand caught by the collar was crying, begging and begging, and finally came to the point where he was exhausted from urinating.

I didn’t mean to make fun of him.

I just didn’t want to look inside that fat guy’s stomach.

I asked the guy who smelled fishy urine.

‘Are you the malevolence of the kingdom of Wol?’

‘Haunting…? What the hell are you talking about…?! I don’t know anything!!’

‘My sister did that to me.’

A strong negative is a positive.

I relaxed my hands because I didn’t want to hear the sound of picking a pig anymore.

There was no one else down there.

Just like that, another malevolent voice was dropped.

After I finished talking, Jeto clapped.

“You’ve done a good job again. Of course, I don’t think Rouge wasn’t what I was looking for. At this point, I’m starting to suspect you may have misresearched the information.”

“Yeah, but the last one is still left.”

“Then what is the identity of the third chest star?”

“It was about to take care of it when that damn turtle stopped me…”

“Keraph?”

When Jeto raised a question mark, Keraf, who had been silently touching his chin, opened his mouth.

“The third chest is none other than the palace of Yue-guk. That is Seo Cho-ryang, the uncle of Seo Yi-san, the king of Yue-guk.”

“Seo Cho-ryang… hahahaha, it means that an ordinary guesthouse jeom-soi saw the king’s uncle who was holding power and said it was a malevolence.”

“I am also suspicious of the identity of the jeomsoi who gave me the information. I went around with Volk to find out if it was true or not. It wasn’t to the point of being a chest, but the information wasn’t a lie.”

“Hmm… I guess so.”

“Shall we visit Jeomsoi again?”

“No, you don’t have to. She’s probably right. As I listened to her, I noticed a few things… I think the only chest I was looking for was Seo Cho-ryang.”

“Wait, then the scars I removed… Weren’t the scars…?”

At my question, Jeto smiles suspiciously.

“Hmm… I can’t help but feel like I was taken advantage of. Well, the results were good, so that’s okay.”

***

It was late at night, and the store manager in question was cleaning an inn with no customers.

“Is that really true…”

She muttered that while wiping away sweat.

She had met an old woman in a robe a few days ago.

Her jeomsoi served her hot meal to her as her hands trembled. It was because she remembered her grandmother in her hometown.

In response, the old woman introduced herself as a once-famous astrologer.

In return for her kindness, the old woman offered to solve the problem she was having.

‘Sooner or later, wolves and goblins will come looking for the evil star of Wolguk.’

She told them to give them information about her breasts, along with the problems she was experiencing.

Jumsoi had many questions.

How she noticed that she was having problems, and what combination of wolves and goblins.

But there was a customer who was really looking for the malevolence of Wolguk.

It was a man with a clean impression and a boy with silver hair. I don’t know where to look, but I don’t know if it’s a wolf or a goblin, but Jeomsoi followed the old woman’s advice.

He told us about the play that disturbed his hometown and about Giru, who was presumed to have kidnapped his older sister.

The last thing the old woman told me was the horror of Wolguk.

‘Seo Cho-ryang… Isn’t that the high-ranking person I know…?’

Jeomsoi shook his head and grabbed the necklace that was on his chest.

‘Can I really see my sister… Again…’

The name of Jeom So-yi’s older sister is Hwa-jeong.

The girl Volk met this time was a gisaeng who used the pseudonym of Hwain.
