(EP.24)Angmar #4
024 – Peaceful Angmar #4
Teo Gospel is weak.
Physically, I get tired easily no matter what I do. Naturally, he is an indoor type that is far from martial arts such as swordsmanship or chess.
He’s too tall to learn anything like self-defense.
Instead, he had an exceptional memory and a fast thought circuit that he never forgets once he sees it.
Even so, I sometimes felt sorry for my lack of power.
So how about learning magic? someone could ask that
But oddly enough, I also had no talent for magic.
I tried many ways to learn magic from the Archmage Aira, but it was difficult for me to even detect that ‘mana’.
-In the magical kingdom of Angmar, there are very few people without such talent. Tae-oh, maybe we need to do more research on your body.
To the extent that even Aira felt suspicious.
I couldn’t even bring up the story of learning magic from Aira, because I was afraid that I might be discovered that I was a mysterious entity possessed by the character.
After all, I have no talent in martial arts. I can’t even do magic.
A creature that lives precariously with only its short tongue.
Perhaps this is a character named Tae-oh Gospel.
A character who struggles meanly and poorly, and is eventually executed with a single line of text. that’s my destiny
But now I feel like I have had a chance to twist it.
“If your comrade is really a half-nymph, you might be able to accept Angmar-sama’s great blessing.”

Can I have a status window too?
That convenient function could be granted by someone else?
It was the first I had ever heard of it. If there was such a thing, I would have tried it earlier.
“Is that possible? It’s the first I’ve heard of such a thing being possible.”
“It’s something that can only be done secretly against Imps. Because the main task of the Imps was to evangelize and spread the great blessings of Angmar-sama!”
It’s the first time I met an imp. Imprani… . how could i have known
“It’s something that nobody really does. Tao Gospel. Your contribution to the demons and labor assistants is as great as that of the zealots. So, I’ll do something special just for you this time, comrade!”
oh oh
I stopped admiration from escaping from my mouth. Then he asked, pretending it was nothing.
“Is that method complicated or difficult? You either get sick or you have to see blood.”
“Simple. It doesn’t even take 10 seconds. It only takes a few words.”
“Is it that short?”
suddenly become more suspicious.
As I frowned, Marmar proudly spread her wide chest and said:
“Originally, lies are complicated and lavishly decorated. Because truth and truth are simple and easy. Now, sit here on your knees on the floor.”
That’s right. it makes sense
thump, thump.
Before the picnic, my heart started pounding with excitement like a child. Because of this, I knelt on the floor with the feeling that I had to go down.
Marmar put her hand on my head.
“You really have to follow what I say.”
“Are you going to follow me?”
“For the Lord so loved the world that he has given a great new order. For whoever believes in it will not perish. that he might have a peaceful eternal life—”
That’s a difficult word.
It also feels like an old language, Gore.
When I wasn’t Tae-oh. If it is similar to the prayer that the evangelists gave me when I first went to church with my friend, it is also similar.
Did you say this is a welcome prayer?
I remember it was similar to the joining process of becoming a church member. In fact, I thought this might be a similar confession of faith.
Recalling the memories of that time, Marmar said.
“Isn’t it a bit too long? Then I’ll tell you again. Lord-.”
I stopped talking to him.
“no it’s okay. Because I memorized everything.”
“okay? good hair Then, you do it with all your heart.”
“For the Lord so loved the world that he has given a great new order.”
Does this really have a status window? Then, it is no exaggeration to say that a new order will be created.
“For whoever believes in it will not perish. that he might have eternal life in peace.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now let’s walk on the flower path.
It was when I recite the last sentence clearly and firmly with that feeling.
“What do you think? What do you see?”
“no.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Nothing was visible.
Was it Gura too?
Was I a fool for believing what the imp said?
When I was in doubt, Marmar added an explanation.
“You may need a starter like magic. In my case, Angmar-sama, hooray. When I say this, the letters float in the air. It’s like self-hypnosis.”
“Oh, you mean starter?”
I was just afraid
I thought of that word, calming my tense heart in many ways. After all, is there anything better than this as a word that floats letters in the air?
“Status window.”
“What do you think? what do you see I don’t know if it went well. It is important to be reverent and faithful.”
Imp Marmar is talking to me next to me. Of course, I was watching as it floated into the air without answering.
If you ask me if I can see anything.
There was something to see.
But should I say that it feels a little different from what I imagined?
There were no numbers or items that should have been there.
“It is sealed. – Cause: Pallagas red algae poisoning
Only this was the end.
It was a very simple sentence, but it was a sentence that evoked a lot of thoughts in my head.
Fortunately, my brain wasn’t so dull, and I was able to quickly understand what this sentence was explaining.
My system is sealed because of the cause of that ‘Palagas accumulator’.
What is Palagas Red Gait?
At least, as I recall, there was no such thing in the original novel.
I flipped through the thick encyclopedia I had opened earlier to find entries for the imp. I thought there might be an entry for the Palagas Totalizer.
I was able to find it eventually.
「Jeoksangari: A material used to smelt and strengthen magic tools. Because it is a deadly poison if eaten, it was used to execute criminals of the royal family from ancient times.
Because it has the property of reacting with magical power, even a very small amount can cause fatal harm to the human body. You should see a therapist immediately after taking it.
However, when it is combined with other poisons, it is difficult to find an antidote, and the death rate is very high.”
It appears to be a type of poison similar to cyanide.
Do you remember when I drank this?
If you remember drinking poison… .
there is
two months ago. There was a time when the maid who tried to assassinate me gave me poison and became very ill. Did you ever drink poison?
As I spread my thoughts, I soon corrected what was wrong.
The poison I drank back then was a different kind of poison called black arsenic. If that’s the case, then I’m saying that I’ve never taken this poison called jeoksangari as far as I can remember.
It will be a palagas accumulator.
How can I decipher this?
A lot of things come to mind in my mind.
The biggest magnification in my mind was a beast scorpion with a hard shell and poison in its tail.
Message.
Yes.
That guy might have an antidote to this. you’ll definitely have it
“What, comrade, where are you? Where can I sleep?”
* * *
There are beings called assassins.
For some other reason, a job that secretly kills a specific person.
I don’t know if it’s okay to call such a spooky job a job, but the concept of a contract assassin really existed in this world.
These are the words that young children proudly write as ‘Assassin’ in their hopes for the future.
In fact, the novel villain Hunter Party suffered from attacks by several assassins throughout the story.
If I had to pick one assassin villain that I remember most impressively, it would be none other than the Death Stalker.
Death Stalker.
It’s a very shriveled name, but it’s probably a name derived from an existing species of desert scorpion.
As the name suggests, he was an assassin who kept a scorpion as a pet, and the main method of assassination was poisoning using poison.
In the original story, he secretly approached the priest of the main party’s party and injected poison, driving him to the point of death. Of course, the comment window of the novel burned down with ‘Rape and kill that b*tch.’
Thanks to that, recognition was definitely imprinted in my brain.
I follow my memory to the underground waters of Monarch City. I headed to the stinky, disgusting dark side of the deep corner.
“Where’s the apothecary?”
“Come over there, go over there. The underground market seems to be your first visit, isn’t it? Be careful not to hit the back of the head.”
It wasn’t the first time I’d been to this dark place, but it was my first time going to visit her, so it was quite difficult to find the way.
Then I finally found a wooden door with a potion container painted on it. I tap it with a tense feeling, and a voice comes from inside.
-Who are you? Our pharmacy is closed today. come back tomorrow
“But, if it’s business in the back, shouldn’t it start now?”
At my question, the signs from the inside were quiet.
Shrek. shudder.
odd profit.
– Come in.
The door slowly opens inward.
Inside, the smoke of an unknown was lying low beneath his feet. It smells like everything is being boiled and boiled.
I think there was such a description in the novel as well.
I walked slowly into the door.
Then, inside, there was a woman with red hair in a long black coat-like robe and glasses looking down at me coldly. She is a beauty who feels like a model.

Can you say that you are close to thirty? She was definitely older than Elgar and Aira, and she was a beauty that gave the feeling of being mature now.
This woman is the Death Stalker. During the day, she works as a pharmacist’s pharmacist. At night, he is a back alley assassin who kills people.
“A companion?”
Red eyes twinkled through the glasses. I shook my head at her question.
“There is not. If you come with someone, isn’t it that they won’t accept your request?”
Of course, the guards are waiting outside, hiding their identities, but they decide to lie in moderation. Lying is one of the things I do best.
The woman looked around and said.
“It seems that someone has heard a story about me. Then the story will be faster. Who do you want to kill?”
“Do I have to reveal who I am?”
“does not matter. The important thing is the pay and who the target is.”
Is it proceeding without any other verification process? While I’m feeling a little puzzled, the assassin Death Stalker points to the sofa.
“Let me sit on the sofa. It looks like it will be a long story. I’ll bring you some tea.”
moon, moon.
Finally, a boiling tea is placed in front of me. But I wasn’t stupid enough to drink tea in a lethal assassin’s house.
“I didn’t put anything in. You can drink. Everyone freezes like that.”
A beautiful woman who smiles fufufu-fu. Because I’ve seen Aira a lot, I tend to be tolerant of her beauty, but she was quite a seductive woman.

Can the word glamor (妖艶) fit so well?
That’s enough for the horny priest of the villain hunter party.
moon, moon. Stirring the teacup with her teaspoon, the woman asked.
“So, who do you want to kill?”
“In retrospect, I have to say that there is someone I want to save.”
“Then you must have come in the wrong place? I am not doing anything to save lives.”
“To be precise, I’m here for the antidote. Do you know anything about the Palagas Red Gait?”
“ah-. Palagas Accumulator. It’s a very old-fashioned poison. It’s not a poison used to kill people. It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.”
“Is there any cure?”
“There is. Not now. I can make So, who wants to use it to save lives?”
“It folds right away. Teo Gospel.”
Shrek.
I took off the hood I was wearing on my head. But even after seeing my face, the assassin didn’t show much of a surprise.
I asked.
“Did you know I was coming?”
“Yeah, because I sent you an invitation. one scorpion. It looks black and burnt, but… .”
Maybe it’s when the squirrel Kengkeng gets cute by Aira.
Aira burned a scorpion that had entered the house at that time. It seems that the woman in front of me was also involved.
“Yoseung, Tae-oh Gospel. There are many people who want to kill you. I thought there would be a lot of people you would want to kill. I invited you as a guest. In the end we met like this… .”
A woman who smiles huh-huh-huh while talking. Soon she spoke.
“I didn’t expect that you would come to save yourself rather than kill someone. Maybe it was because I was addicted to the maid’s teacup?”
“no.”
“It would be. The poison used then was probably arsenic. It’s an amateur’s trick. If it were me, I would have used a different poison.”
“You didn’t mean to assassinate me, were you?”
“Yes. Why would I kill a potential tycoon customer? But, it’s the antidote to Palagas Red Gai. It will not be easy.”

Great. In my own way, I called for joy at the positive response.
What I had vaguely predicted was correct.
In the original novel, the assassin Death Stalker is an episodic villain in the middle of the novel, and he is the subordinate of the bad boy Tae-oh.
There are many stories behind how she became Tae-oh’s subordinate, but I know the story. It was sure to be a big bargaining card.
I decided to take out one of my cards and show it to her.
“If this goes well. You and I may be important partners, Baron Young-ae.”
“… what?”
“The old baron, the eldest daughter of the Skoll family. Isn’t that you? A woman who runs a dark business using her family’s secret recipe to pay for the cost of medicine for her younger sister who has a rare disease.”
“… … .”
When a person is greatly offended, he becomes silent. It seems that it was the same for Elgardo and this baron’s daughter.
“I would have erased all information about my past through the Thieves Guild. How did you know… ?”
how do you know I saw it in a novel. Because when he was killed by the villain hunter party, he sang with his own mouth.
But without saying anything like that, I just smiled. The death stalker, no, the baroness Kalira Squall, takes off her glasses and mutters a little.
“He said he was a fairy… . I didn’t believe it.”
