53. cost of carelessness
Tak-tak… Hwareuk… … .
Sparks from the flint landed on the floor, sparking small sparks. Depending on the situation, a small spark that blooms in the dark without a single light may look romantic, but the place I am right now is not a place where I can take care of such things.
“Huh?”
It’s not like it’s going to explode, but I expected it to be angry and rise like gasoline. But what No matter how you look at it, this is a Yankee Candle flame the size of the palm of your hand.
“Is it defective?”
[High Quality] was definitely confirmed in the item information. But no matter how long you wait, the fireworks are still cute. I get more and more impatient that someone might come closer to the terrible smell, but I don’t think the flame will grow.
“Ghmm, if I knew this would happen, I would have looked at the instruction manual… … .”
I think I may have done something wrong, and I blow gently.
“Whoa… Five… … .”
The flame that seemed to die from my breath grew just a little bit bigger.
The flame that had been the size of the little finger grew to the size of the middle finger.
Whoa… … .
got a little bigger great. Just do it a few more times and it’ll be the size of your palm… yes… … ?
“Huh… … .”
Roaring!
I didn’t even blow on the wind, but the flames suddenly grew several times larger.
You should be happy, but the condition of the flame is strange. blue… flame?
“The color… why… Ugh!”
Whoaaagh!
Falling backwards in the rapidly growing flames, I almost instinctively threw myself backwards. and… … .
Wow!
“Aww!”
The body collapses and rises not by one’s will, but by one’s own will. After flying almost 10 meters like that, I rolled on the floor and glanced back.
“Damn it… … !”
A completely different situation than expected. Originally I thought it was gasoline. Gasoline that just makes it ride well. The plan was also simple. After drawing the attention of the troops by burning the hay shed in the military district, they infiltrate the castle and blow up the bronze statue. And while extinguishing the fire, he escapes the castle and escapes leisurely. By the way… … .
Kwaaang!
You said it was used to use firearms in Yeongjijeon, but there was no such thing as explosives!
The oil is continuously exploding as if it were glycerin, inflating intense blue flames. The state of fire that was already overflowing because it wasn’t enough. The problem is that what’s burning right now isn’t even worth a pound. The real thing is oil soaked around the hay shed, but it’s hard to imagine what a huge explosion it would be if the sparks went that far.
“Fuck!”
I ran with all my might, cursing Hyemi noona a hundred times for recommending flame slime oil to my heart. And after a while… … .
aaang!
A deafening blast pounded my back.
“Whoa!”
[Mud Shield]
Papa papak!
It seems to have rolled dozens of times on the floor. Hiding behind a tree stump and quickly opening the status window, I saw that half of my health had already been blown away and my body was stained red from injuries. If I was just two or three seconds late, I would have been out of the game.
“Kuh, it’s hot!”
The heat of the flame felt on the back is not at an ordinary level. I quickly took the potion out of my bag, drank it, and ran to a nearby alley.
Kwak! bang!
The hay shed that was intended to be used as kindling is no longer visible. In its place was a gigantic pillar of fire, possibly 20 meters high, which began to greedily devour everything around it, flying flames in all directions.
“what!”
“Aaaagh!”
“this… Gee, crazy! It’s fire!”
“Harm!”
Puff puff puff!
“help me!”
Soldiers who came out of the barracks were swept away by the explosion and exploded in all directions. The explosion that ate the soldiers continued to grow, and at some point, the flames began to spread towards the knight tower. Well… I guess… It seems that the scale of the bombing operation was exceeded in the first place… … ?
Quaaa!
The flame continued to grow in size with a sound like the howl of a huge beast.
[Your level has risen.]
[Honor Points +15]
[Honor Points +7]
[Honor Points +11]
The level started to rise steadily. While reaching level 30, various messages came up, but now I don’t have time to worry about those things.
“Turn off the lights!”
“Save the soldiers!”
“Hi-yi-ing!”
“Hey!”
As the stable catches fire, the horses run amok and scream.
“Save the battle horses!”
“Ouch!”
“help me!”
“Hee hee hee!”
Kwak! bang!
Stables are smashed and horses run frantically, trampling on people. Literally abysmal.
Smoke mixed with flames rises above the sky that has become bright like daylight, and the villagers flock to it, but they are blocked by the heat from the explosion and all just stare blankly at the burning barracks and stables.
“I am being punished… … .”
“It rides well.”
The people of Yeongji are busy watching, not thinking about turning off the fire, to see how much they have lost their humanity on a daily basis.
And I blended into the gap and started moving.
“great.”
As expected, no one can be seen guarding the gate to the castle. I quietly walked inside with my combat stealth on. While the outer castle was noisy with flames and cries, the inner castle was unexpectedly quiet. A few NPCs ran to the fire, but no one cared about me. And finally I arrived at a small plaza with a bronze statue.
“Bronze statue of Van Hakra Camerson… OK… … .”
In the center of the plaza, you can see a bronze statue of a young knight in stylish armor and fluttering a cape.
Now just explode this and the quest is complete. I tried to get the scroll out of my bag. It’s a very easy situation where you tear it up and throw it. But I couldn’t get the scroll out.
Hey hey profit!
[Mud Shield]
Grasp!
“Ouch!”
Even though the mud shield blocked the flying arrow, it was stuck in his side.
When I look down, I see an arrow hanging from my side. An arrow with black feathers attached to a black flesh.
‘Night Killer… … .’
An arrow for assassins specialized in shooting at night.
“Keugh!”
As I draw and throw arrows and drink potions, I hear footsteps.
chuckle.
Five knights in shining armor, hidden behind the statue, walk toward me. These are the guys I saw during the day. The guy who shot me was the guy standing on the far right, and he’s still glaring at me with the Nightkiller on his string.
“A rat-like bastard… I’ll hide in moderation… Tsk.”
Standing in the middle of the five, a user knight in fancy armor clicked his tongue and said.
“That’s right. Sir Shuen. Since then, I have been able to do a good job and come to be criticized by the baron.”
“What can I do? I’m glad you caught it.”
They talk to each other as if they have already caught me. But when I heard the story, it was as if he knew in advance that I would come. what?
‘I’m sure only Count Podina, Mr. Karen, and a few key people in the castle know that I’m here… … .’
The Explosion Duke quest was leaked in the middle. Of course not Count Podina, and there are only a few left. At most, a governor who assists with the affairs of the territory, or three assistants who assist the governor. The NPC driver and the nobleman who guided me to the edge of the forest in the south… and… … . surprisingly many?
[Land Quest] Punish the informant
-There is someone in the Count family who leaks information to enemies. Find out and kill.
-Reward: 10,000 exp, 50 gold, Contribution 100, Friendship with Count Podina ↑
Quest popped up. The rewards are good, the money is good, and the intimacy with Count Podina goes up, so it’s not bad… … .
‘I was so stupid.’
I don’t think anyone likes getting stabbed in the back of the head, but I hate that kind of thing. It used to be when I was in middle school. There was a guy who clung to me saying he wanted to be close to me, but later I found out that he was swearing at me behind my back. Later, when I asked him why he did that, he said that he couldn’t appreciate it because the orphan was playing with him, but he said that he was arguing with him, and he couldn’t hold back his anger and beat him.
What… elaborate It’s just a game, but the back of the head is warm after being beaten.
However, the switch did not go in as it did then. No, rather calmer.
I said it with the most servile expression on my face.
“Please save me.”
“What? Kkeukkeuk… … .”
“ha ha ha! I thought he was a pretty bold guy because he sneaked all the way here, but he begged for his life.”
They are five looking at me with contempt.
“Everyone don’t step out.”
Slurreung… … .
“I’ll take care of such a coward.”
A user knight named Sir Shuen draws out his sword and walks arrogantly. It is a ploy that clearly shows the idea of killing me and eating items and experience. I grabbed the arrow-pierced side and looked at it with sorrowful eyes. Like an executioner at an execution site, he raised his sword and slashed it straight into my throat.
“die.”
A dying bitch… It’s not even funny.
* * *
“uh?”
As Shuen lowered his sword, he realized that something was wrong.
I felt it when I met his eyes at the last moment. The face, which had been wet with fear or horror, turned numb in an instant. A sense of incongruity looms as the soon-to-be-dead looks like nothing is wrong, but the slashing attack cannot be stopped. He put a little more strength into the slashing sword to erase the anxiety he felt in his head. No, it was time to give strength. Until the moment I felt a red light flashing from his side.
Flash!
I almost unconsciously wanted to raise my sword to block the light, but… … .
Whoops!
“Keoouk!”
Is this what it would feel like to be hit by a dump truck in real life? At the moment the light and the sword collided, I lost my mind for a moment, as if I had fallen into a blackout. When he came to his senses, he was flying backwards.
‘why?’
I don’t know what happened
I knew it was some kind of great skill, but I hadn’t even seen it.
‘I didn’t even pull out my sword?’
I didn’t even think of resisting, so I was standing in a daze, so I cut myself in the mood of harvest… I got hit by something shot from his waist. being assaulted. Thinking of being victimized by cowardly acting, anger fills up in my head.
‘bloke… … !’
If you land on the floor, you’ll immediately charge at him and smash him to pieces.
A little while ago, he was caught off guard, but now he has no such luck. It won’t end once and for all. I won’t stop killing and killing until I close the game.
Thinking so, Shuen bites his lip. However, he began to wonder why his body did not fall to the floor over time. And the reason was surprisingly simple.
‘why… … ?’
The corpse of the headless knight fell to his knees in front of Kay.
Hey profit!
A Night Killer shot flew. But… … .
grasp!
The arrow hit the back of the corpse kneeling in front of it, not the original target.
“Next is you.”
Holding onto the knight’s corpse as a shield, Kei’s eyes shone sharply.
