Episode. 04 Snowfall (1)
In this game, there is something called giyeon.
It could be a rare artifact, or a special bond or skill.
Even an ordinary farmer with a scythe can have the ability to see a knight through skill.
As much as that, Giyeon was a lottery in this world that could have power effectively and quickly.
And Richard knew all about the location and information of those planes.
No wonder. He was the creator of this world.
It was as if the most valuable information in the world was stored in his head now.
The only problem was that he was currently under probation from the head of state.
“Did Balak leave?”
“yes.”
Richard answered the family head’s question. It was only yesterday that he had won the bet with Balak.
“… … .”
The family head’s eyes shook as she looked at her son, Richard. A mark was engraved on the back of Richard’s hand.
She knew that Balak was interested in Richard.
However, it was dismissed as an lingering attachment to Battenberg’s lineage.
I’m sure I heard this from Balak, who came to see me again last night, but seeing it in person was even more surprising.
“I heard him. Want to be released from probation?”
“That’s right.”
Looking at his son who nodded his head calmly, the head of the house raised his lips. Looking at me, I wasn’t the Richard I always avoided in fear.
Even when I tried to raise my spirits as a test, my eyes looking at my father did not waver.
In fact, it changed from the moment ‘Lee Ji-hoon’ possessed the body of ‘Richard’,
“It has changed.”
It’s only now that one layer has been peeled off. That is the family head’s perception of Richard.
“Where and what are you planning to do this time?”
Contrary to what he said, the family head’s expression wasn’t too bad.
“I’m not going to try to mess around again.”
“I am reflecting.”
Because all of that depravity was the work of the previous owner of that body.
‘I’m cleaning up that sh*t.’
As I was groaning inwardly, the head of the house opened.
“I will give permission.”
succeded!
A wish made by Richard, who had won a bet with Balak. It was to set oneself free.
In a word, please help me release probation.
“Kuh, Balak knew how to ask for a favor.”
And it worked great.
Uncharacteristically for a family head who was called iron-blooded, he laughed.
After that, the head of the household exchanged a few more short words with Richard, and then issued a congratulatory order.
Watching his son leave the office, he was lost in thought.
“It will be fun when Gide comes back.”
The Richard the family head knew was a bird that could never fly.
Due to the worst constitution, even the will to flap wings has been lost.
Wings were forming in such Richard one by one.
It also has huge wings.
◈ ◈ ◈
A few days later, I loaded the wagon. Time was scarce for me too, so I prepared to go out as quickly as possible.
From noble mtl dot com
“I will depart.”
“okay.”
Five low-ranking knights, including Aaron, and Mary, the exclusive maid, followed as attendants.
“Brother, congratulations on being released from probation.”
Mary, who got into the carriage with me, handed me some black tea and said,
She has noticeably improved her face lately.
The reason is that.
“This must all be God’s blessing!”
god… … . So, it was thanks to me.
She said she was saved by God, and her happiness index is skyrocketing.
“Oh, my God. Please look down on your future path… … .”
“please. Pray only once a day.”
I felt burdened by her suddenly praying in front of me.
Of course, I’m happy that she became a devout follower, but… … .
“Why? Didn’t he say that our prayers give him strength?”
Also, this seems a bit excessive.
“Even God needs to rest… … .”
“Oh, that… … Yes! I have prayed dozens of times a day until now!”
Well, not a little, but a lot.
Watching Mary pray again, saying that she was wrong this time, made my bones hurt.
I decided to change the topic.
“How is your mother?”
“You were perfectly fine. Even the congressman was surprised… … Alas, this is salvation!”
You stepped on a mine again.
It was Mary who shed tears and offered a prayer of thanks.
Mary’s mother, Melaine, drank twenty glasses of holy water and was completely well.
Thanks to her becoming a follower of mine, the current amount of faith she gains per day is around 180.
Nevertheless, because there were so many places to use in training and castle lords, they used up all the gatherings, so the current amount of faith they gathered was 220.
“Mary, didn’t you tell the others?”
“It is, but… … I don’t understand why he should hide his grace.”
Why is it that I think of you
It was perfect to be treated like a madman if he shouted that much about a god he had never heard of.
A foolish young master, a crazy handmaid.
“God wants to reach out first to those in need.”
As if deeply impressed by my words, she put her hands together.
It wasn’t even a lie.
The strategy I came up with was to seduce the naive peasants outside of Battenga.
In particular, small villages are always plagued by monsters and beasts.
What good prospective believers are these.
Besides, the place we are heading to now is very suitable.
‘Snowfall Village. It’s like a pot of honey here.’
A small village in the Hessen Territory, three days away by two wagons. The distance is a bit far, but it was worth the trip.
Snowfall is a quaint village where snow falls throughout the year, even though it is not the northernmost point.
Thanks to this, they are always attacked by hungry monsters in times of famine.
‘The chance that the magician’s ‘gnome’ who wandered the northern continent in the future will get… … Artifacts are there.’
It lay asleep on the snowy mountain right behind Snowfall.
◈ ◈ ◈
The carriage ran quickly. I could already see a huge snow-capped mountain in the distance. The temperature was also dropping rapidly.
“Brother, here is your overcoat.”
“thank you.”
I put on the coat Mary gave me. It was very warm because it was the skin of Horg, a monster known for being strong against the cold.
I forcibly shoved my coat over Mary, who was refusing while shaking her hand. In addition to silk merry, the knights escorting the wagon outside also gave one each.
I had a lot of coats anyway. After all, it was piled up in this wide wagon.
It was then. The carriage stopped suddenly.
smart-
“Brother, Baron Hessen has come to meet you.”
I poked my head out at the sound of Aaron’s voice outside.
“Great, great lineage of Battenberg! Greetings, Master Richard!”
A man with a half-moon-shaped beard lowered his head with the momentum to stick to the floor. So did the soldiers beside him.
“okay.”
It’s cold to death, but what are you doing?
He closed the window and closed the front of his coat.
The perception of being a fool is comfortable at times like this.
The baron’s gruff voice came from outside the wagon, which started again.
“Soldiers escort the wagon! Stop one ant from getting near!”
The knights of Battenberg were attached as attendants, so what was the escort of the soldiers?
I try really hard to look good somehow.
This is the greatness of Battenga. The best family with absolute influence in the northern continent beyond the kingdom and empire.
The reason we do not engage in conquest is because there is no need for it. Their interest was only martial arts.
‘Still, it feels good to be treated like this.’
How long did the wagon run?
We were able to reach the village soon.
And I had no choice but to withdraw my earlier thoughts.
“S-Welcome to Snowfall, Master Richard!”
The village chief was lying face down on the snow-covered ground. Snow had piled up on top of him, as if he had been doing that for a while.
And that wasn’t all.
Less than 30 residents were all in that condition.
“These guys! Who are you shivering in front of now!”
Baron Hessen urged the residents shivering in the cold.
Unlike them, who were wearing sinful clothes, the baron’s clothes were extremely thick.
Actually, it wasn’t anything unusual. When a high-ranking official visits the village, it was the custom here for the villagers to show their respect in this way.
The knights who followed him as attendants showed no change in their expressions, as if they were seeing things for granted.
But for me, this situation was not natural.
“What are you doing right now!”
It’s just crazy!
It’s perfect weather to freeze to death!
“Lee, Master Richard? Even if it’s inconvenient… … ?”
Ignoring the baron, who was startled and cringing, he glanced at the residents.
All of them were spectacles.
Apart from being skinny from not eating, there were not a few holes in the clothes, and even a function such as a windbreak could not be expected.
It was much more serious than expected.
“Aaron.”
“yes.”
“Distribute the clothes in the wagon to them.”
Aaron, his eyes widening slightly, nodded without saying anything. Rather, the words came from a different place.
It was from Baron Hessen, who had seen expensive Horgskin coats sticking out of the wagon.
“omg! Do, young boy! They don’t have the property to pay for it.”
“Then what do you have?”
Hessen’s eyes rolled at my words.
There are about 30 pieces of Horg’s leather, which is reputed to be expensive.
It was probably not a small amount that a baron in a barren land would be willing to pay.
“Now, everyone, stand up and put on your coats.”
“that is… … .”
“I brought it myself to give to you, but are you ignoring my sincerity?”
Residents did not wake up willingly. Was it because Hessen noticed, or was he really afraid that I would receive the money?
Faith is enough to receive from prospective believers.
I ran through them once again.
I couldn’t eat, I was cold, and I could see that I was sick.
this is true
“merry. Let’s pray to God.”
It was an environment that required God’s mercy.
◈ ◈ ◈
The chief of Snowfall, Roman, looked down at me. His body was draped with an expensive-looking coat.
Not only him, but all the villagers were wearing Horg skin coats.
It was received from none other than Richard, the madman of the Battenberg family, the center of the northern continent!
‘really… … Are you really trying to sell it?’
Roman was well aware of his rumors, so he couldn’t take his good deed straight away.
What kind of plan is this?
An uneasy look appeared in the old village chief’s eyes.
“Coke!”
At that time, the village child let out a suppressed cough.
It seems that the cold of Snowfall was severe for the child who was still young and weak, and who had not been able to eat well and had skin and bones.
Hearing the coughing sound, Richard’s gaze turned back.
At that moment, Roman saw clearly. that his brow was furrowed.
“Who are you?”
