Episode 45 Vampires (1).
Lam Leforda, a tanned fat bastard merchant.
“It’s been a while. How are you?”
Although his face is tanned with copper, it is more plump than before.
For some reason, it reminded me of Jeju Black Pig.
“Oh, that’s right!! Isn’t this all thanks to the prince!!”
It looks like the deal with Geryuntu went well.
Balt smiles and asks Ramrepo how he is doing.
“Okay, let’s talk about it.”
“Of course, Prince, what happened after that!!”
Receiving Balt’s Greatsword, Ramrepo thought there was no reason to delay, so he headed straight for Geryuntu.
Even using teleport.
After that, it was a breeze.
There were certainly merchants who quickly heard the news of the opening of cultural properties, but few acted as quickly as Ram Lepo did.
Ram Lepo, who had the great sword of the Baltic, was able to meet even Kwan.
“So, my son owes you?”
“Oops, I’m against it. Quan, on the contrary, I’ve been greatly favored by the prince.”
After hearing all of Ramrepo’s story, Kwan asked with satisfaction.
“So he packed her magical items? Even Balt used her magic?”
“That’s right. Kwan!”
“hahahahaha!!! You’ll get what you want.”
In the end, Ramlepo became the first merchant to open a trade route with Gehryungtu, guaranteed by Quan.
“Hmm, that’s great. So what did you come here for today?”
Ramrepo smiles and holds out something.
“Imperial bank account and proceeds from upstream! I’ve already made two transactions! I wanted to come quickly after the first transaction, but Kwan asked for something, so I’m very sorry to see you now.”
“Never mind. Rather, thank you.”
When Balt checks her account, the amount is no joke.
“Is this the right amount?”
A startled Ramrepo begins to explain in detail.
“Yes, yes! Not a small amount! This Ramrepo! Five generations will be damned if you play with your profits!! Prince, I’m not such an unscrupulous merchant!”
I asked because there were too many of them, but Ram Leupau seems to be misunderstanding and making excuses.
Anyway, Balt doesn’t have to worry about money much anymore.
Thinking of something, Balt asks Ram Lepo about her one.
“Ram Lepo, do you know what vampires like? I want to give you a present.”
Ramrepo, startled by the word vampire, asks back.
“Vampires? Prince, are you going to Brasov by any chance?”
“Yes, I have business. It’s a situation where you have to become friends with vampires.”
Ramrepo, whose blood flows from merchants, speaks to Balt with his eyes shining.
“I have heard rumors!! For a moment! Wait a moment, Prince Baltic!”
Then Ramrepo waddled and ran to somewhere.
***
Finally the day of departure.
Friends gathered to report on the execution of the commission.
Lisa is surprised to discover Balt.
“Huh? You don’t have any Baltic luggage?”
“There is.”
Tuk Tuk-
There was a ring-shaped subspace pocket where Balt struck. Looks like it was given to him as a gift by Ramrefaux.
‘I got an inventory. Very nice.’
Of course, subspace pockets are extremely expensive and precious.
By the way, good ingredients to make this come from the South.
More southern of the South. There is a bug monster called Trap Swarm that lives in the desert. A strange monster that can swallow prey larger than its body.
It’s okay to make it with other materials, but the subspace bag made with the magic stone of this trap swarm as a base has a larger capacity.
This is thanks to the better application of space magic.
Anyway, the Trap Swarm’s corpse, which has many places to use besides the subspace pouch, will make Geruntu’s storage room full for the time being.
Of course, there are many other things to sell in the South.
“Wow~ You bought a subspace bag! I bought one too, but mine isn’t that big.”
It is said that the entry-level type takes up space.
Looks like Ramrepo has quite a bit of ability. It’s not something you can make that fast just because you have the materials.
“Well, looks like everyone is here. Then let’s go.”
Lisa shouts excitedly at Balt’s declaration of departure.
“Exit Baal!!”
With Balt in the lead, the others follow.
The first target is Westnorre. Thinking of taking accommodation there and moving to Balt Brasov.
The 4th grade quest that Balt chose is to subdue monsters.
The Great Forest is inhabited by enormous monsters.
It is said that elves, beastmen, and vampires live in the great forest, but the place where they live is only at the beginning of the great forest.
Despite being a beginner, it is Neldores Great Forest that even quite a few adventurers and mercenaries stick out their tongues.
That’s why monsters appear very, very often. That’s why Harkback and Westmore, which are close to Great Forest, are always overflowing with monster subjugation requests.
Bald accepted a request to subdue monsters between Westmore and Great Forest.
While confirming her request, Yuria nodded her head.
“Hmm, do I have to catch various guys? Let’s see, Javelin Wasp, Unicorn, Stamp Boar. “
Robin puts on a happy expression at Yuria’s words.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been hunting. I look forward to it.”
“Have you ever been to Great Forest, Robin?”
“No, this is my first time.”
Yuria smiles and pricks up her ears.
“Those are all risk level 4 monsters, but if you look at the forest lightly, it will be a big problem? They are not the only ones living there.”
“I will keep this in mind. YuRia.”
The group arrived at the teleport station and moved to Westmore in an instant.
***
Since the distance is quite long, you can’t move at once, and you can quickly arrive at Westmore via 3 stops.
Of course, Lisa is the most exciting.
“Wow!! Isn’t it a different feeling from the Empire?”
This is not an empire. It is not another kingdom either.
To be precise, it is a territory jointly managed by the Western Kingdom Alliance.
It was judged that it would be difficult to leave all responsibility to one country because of the uniqueness of being adjacent to the great forest and the frequent occurrence of monsters.
On the contrary, it is burdensome to hold Youngji.
So Westmore is managed by a representative elected by the Western Kingdom Alliance. And he activated the territory with numerous requests.
A lot of people, whether adventurers or mercenaries, find work in Westmore or Harkbeck.
It is common sense that if there are a lot of people, the estate will naturally develop.
It’s not as far as the imperial capital, but it’s a very lively city with a lot of people.
Balt drags Lisa by the back of her head, who runs all over the place.
From noble mtl dot com.
“No time to play. Lisa, unpack right away and play after that.”
“Oh, okay.”
It is early in the morning because the teleport has been moved. Balt had no intention of wasting time.
“Our party moves immediately after confirming the request to the Adventurers Guild.”
Robin and Yuria seem to agree.
“Okay. Balt.”
“Good~!”
Bald is asking Victor.
“Victor, take care of the kids. Meet the client first and start looking for the cat. That way, even if you join us, you can do it.”
“Okay. Older brother!”
***
After unpacking at a suitable inn, Balt, Robin, and Yuria headed to the adventurer’s guild.
But the receptionist looks puzzled.
“Hmm… Strange rumors are going around right now, are you okay?”
“Strange rumors?”
The receptionist speaks quietly.
“I’m not sure… There are reports that the number of monsters has increased. It’s not a huge difference, but I’m telling you because it can be a bit dangerous.”
Robin smiles and reassures the receptionist.
“It’s okay. Lady. We are pretty strong.”
“Oops.”
Bald nodded and urged the party.
“Then let’s go.”
Leave Westmore Manor and run quickly along the road leading to the Great Forest.
“Yuria, can I be your guide in the forest?”
“Okay~! Just trust me!”
Three of them don’t get out of breath at all even while running fast. Robin manipulates Amlet and explains to Balt.
“I heard that there is a medium-sized village between Great Forest and Gado. Balt’s purpose is to be a vampire, so it would be okay to visit this town. There are rumors that the villagers are related to vampires.”
“Where did you get that information?”
Robin answered with a shy smile.
“hahahaha, the receptionist is kind.”
Looks like a muscular handsome man is his ideal type.
“Okay, let’s start with the village.”
Doo-doo-doo-
The sound of the heavy Balt’s running echoes through the ground.
***
“Is this place?”
It is definitely a medium-sized village. People don’t see
“Is that strange? I was told that there must be more than 300 people living there…. This….”
“Is it too quiet? Did everyone go somewhere to play?”
Balt looked around and waved his hand to spread mana.
Booung-
Booung-
Huwoong-
Then he shouted in a low voice.
“Detect mana.”
It is a Circle 1 magic that only allows you to sense mana from a long distance, but the enormous magic spreads in an instant and extends beyond the range of Circle 1 magic.
Balt realized two days ago that she had to stir her hands to spread mana quickly.
And the sharp barbarian’s senses were able to detect what they wanted with just 1 circle of detect mana without using 3 or 4 circle view mana or force detection magic.
At that time, something was caught in Balt’s mana. It was a very subtle reaction, so weak that it would be hard to notice unless you had the same sense as the Baltic.
“Hmm?”
Balt moved quickly and ran to where he felt something.
It’s a well.
“There is something in this. Light.”
Down!!
A tremendous light that seems blinding rises from Balt’s hand.
“Kuu! Bar, lower the brightness of Balt, please!”
“Um, sorry.”
However, even with that strong light, the deep well cannot be seen properly.
The moment I made up my mind to go down.
I realize that the well is too narrow.
You can’t even get in with Balt and Robin.
Yuria is also 2 meters tall. Although she is slim, there is no way that her 2 meter physique will fit into the well.
The three of them are perplexed by an unexpected difficulty.
“Uh, what should I do? I never thought I would need Lisa or Lati!”
Balt pondered for a while and said.
“There is a way.”
‘Please, gnome. Bring the ground out.’
‘Okay… all. Go… on… all.’
Pop pip pip.
The gnome floats up and disappears into the well, and before long, I feel the gnome lifting the ground in the well.
Dude deed deed-
“Kyaaa!”
From inside the well, I hear a scream that I think is a girl.
Eventually, a girl gets out of the well and hits her butt.
Bean-
“Wow!”
Ebony hair and eyes like red jewels. Even the sharp fangs that were visible when screaming.
To see you so soon.
Balt grinned, showing his white teeth.
“You must be a vampire.”
