Dungeon Defense (WN)

00023 Human Hunt

I pulled my finger slowly. There was blood and a girl's saliva mixed together. The fingers were rubbed against the cuffs. Roughly like it's no big deal.

Laura stares blankly at my posture, wondering if I was embarrassed by the word "Mage." I felt her gaze sufficiently, but I kept my gaze on my fingers as if I didn't know it. Let your opponent continue to look this way without any pressure.

“Was my voice too small? I asked him," Do you have any personal grudges or bad feelings about the Horsemen? "I'm not joking, Laura. Please take it seriously.”

“Nothing... ”

“Excellent.”

I turned my head and looked at her. She flinches.

“I see your pride. The pride of the strong.Don 't you smell rotten? Surprisingly, it smells like farting. Perhaps you've established your own philosophy, and then you've had enough time to judge others with it. I can feel it…… for you, the world is like a play. This person will just come up on stage and repeat to leave according to the role you have chosen. In short, you see yourself as a role model. I envy you!”

I knew it myself. My voice was filled with hostility. In the original world, I died because of the transformation of a mere transcendent being that I had not lived properly. He played the role of the Demon King, which he never wanted in this world. I had no choice but to kill humans in order to survive. I don't know when this world will end, but at least until it does, I will continue to be the Demon King. Appearances and exits are just someone's entertainment.

Laura declared her own death. Has this young lady ever imagined that there is someone who cannot enjoy such luxury?

“I could never consider myself a role model. I wasn't ready. I might have had the chance, but I foolishly missed it. Here's the price. ”

I untied the turban tied to my head. The towel flows down to the bottom of the wagon. As I turn my head slightly to the side, I hear Laura breathing. Maybe he saw a little horn on the back of his head.

“The Demon King's testimony.... ”

“Someone outside will listen. ”

I jokingly put my index finger on her lips.

I feel joyful. My head and heart are numb as if I had smoked a long, smoking cigarette. I realized that I was more excited than I needed to be, and I was angry with Laura for no reason. But strangely, I didn't want to gag him in the mouth. We need to make sure she's dead. I was holding it for some reason. It was as if I had another self to advise me.

“I'll tell you what kind of life you're going to have. You are sold to the Vitelsbach family, the palace earl of the Kingdom of Brittany. It's a family-run hobby where you can gather and have fun with noble ceremonies like yourself. You're beautiful and young. He was also the successor to the great family. Isn't that a nice spicy game? Congratulations in advance! This is going to be expensive. ”

“Ugh…. ”

“The mansion in the Palace White has several basements. You're locked up in one of them. You can't even go outside for three years. One day he will be beaten by the White Palace and his men. Laura, why are you turning your head? What's the matter?”

The opponent keeps trying to get the other end of his jaw wrong. I grabbed her chin.

“Thy gaze... ”

“What's wrong with my gaze? Answer me."

“Your gaze is…… too……. ”

Apparently, she was very sensitive to the human gaze. She tries to say something, but she doesn't finish the sentence. You turn your chin up, but you don't look this way. Suddenly, I felt like I had gotten a little smoky. There was a side that ate emotions badly on purpose in order to make it more intense, but this. It was too effective.

I was starting to think that the skill wasn't a very useless skill. Maybe I was able to pour my words out like a waterfall because of my skill.

“Don't look away. Wouldn't it be disappointing if I mistook you for a weakling? ”

“ ……. ”

Laura stared at me with hard, thin eyes. Fear lurks there. Sadism was burning in my mind. Did I have this personality? Maybe it was in my nature as the Demon King, cheering for the feeling of fear. After all, I didn't have to make a decision right away.

“Good eye. Now, do you think what I've told you is a lie? ”

“… No. ”

“Then I'll ask. Do you want to be sold to a pedophile and a pervert who tortures his hobbies? Or do you want to sell your faction to someone who is somewhat peculiar, but has a normal mindset and wants to treat you as a subordinate, rather than a slave? ”

“I don't understand. Why does the Demon King need me? ”

The girl's voice trembled. A teenage girl who is capable and intelligent compared to her age. Where have you ever encountered a Demon King, or an Intermediate Horseman?

“I... I... have only two heirs to the House of Parnese... and the appearance of it." Are you going to rob me of my soul? ”

“I don't care about your ruined family, your beauty, or your soul. I have great interest in your wisdom. ”

“Wisdom……? ”

She mutters powerlessly.

“Don't you want to avenge those who destroyed your family? Don't you want to avenge your relatives for easily handing you over to slavery? Don't you want to take revenge on everyone in the world who ruined my life in the first place? ”

“ ……. ”

“I know you can do anything. Oh, we will accomplish great things. Let's show it to the world. This is what you have forsaken us for! ”

I reached out my right hand. Laura glanced at me with her eyes obsessed with something. She raises her hand as she is drawn to the magnet. But that's it. Her hands stop in the air, making sure she hasn't made up her mind yet. It wasn't that I didn't understand. I smiled at you as if I understood your position completely.

“I'll be watching over you. Let me know if you need any help. My name is Dantalian. ”

I tied a road turban to my head. And out of the wagon. I was confident that she would need me. If she had held my hand, I would have summoned the monster army immediately and devastated the surrounding area... but there was no rush. I set more than one trap to get Laura.

You hear owls wailing in the woods. Jack lies flat on the ground. The mercenaries shuffle their cards around. They saw me coming out and the color on my face turned. I thought about what happened, and they went into the wagon as if they were alternating with me. In a moment, the wagon begins to rattle. The vulgar voices of mercenaries creep from the wagon.

"Sexual slavery education. ’

I figured out why they didn't like Jack's ride. She's a great girl, by the way. He was probably raped every night for his education. It was an unbearable insult as a noble ceremony, or as a woman, and a transgression. Even during that day, the girl did not lose her temper. A little girl about 16 years old.

I scraped my back head and returned to the barracks. You hear a wagon rumbling behind you. The more I took a step, the softer it sounded, and then it snapped. Filled with empty air was the owl's cry.

Merchant's Day Begins Early

The plains are all green. The merchants have already finished preparing to leave. People were happy to hear that they were arriving in the city within the day. Homelessness was hard for the hawkers, too. The target matrix moves quickly. I thought I was going to go into the city soon and lay down on a fresh straw, so I also had strength that wasn't on my thighs.

“I'm sorry about yesterday, Lorita! ”

Jack said delightfully. We were going side by side. Jack drives slowly, and I get on the wagon. He asked me if I could be a friend this morning if I really liked it. I had no reason to refuse.

“I'm not used to being weak with alcohol. How come last night was like that? ”

“I've been walking all day, and I'm tired. Don't worry about it.”

I had a nice chat with Jack and looked back. The Black Wagon is following our procession.

We arrived in the city half a day later. The guards swarm in and search for us. I was nervous for a moment because there were too many guards. But then I was relieved to hear what Jack had to say.

“He's just trying to take a bribe. Soldiers who used to play at the Wall usually come down pretending to be guards when a merchant comes. If you want to get through the gate quickly, you have to give me the money... Tsk, tsk. ”

Jack narrows his eyes. He has a stubborn vision, and the guards' actions cannot be easily illuminated. The merchants have had a nervous breakdown with the guards for a while. It was a go-to for knitting and hitting anyways. The guard shakes his hand and sends us back.

“Great ascent! ”

“Thanks to you, I traveled comfortably. ”

“May God Hermes bless you! ”

At the gate, the merchants scattered their horns as they bid each other farewell. The mercenaries disbanded the reward in exchange for successfully completing the quest. Jack and I were together relatively late. However, when we entered the plaza in the center of the city, we also had to part ways. Jack and I hugged each other.

“Lorita, I'm ashamed...... but will you come to the market when you have time? ”

“Of course. I don't doubt you'll be a great merchant. What would be the problem if we weren't ashamed to look up at the sky? ”

Jack was very impressed.

Lesser Merchant Jack's Appetite Elevates! They 'trust' you.

I have a 50 preference. If you persuade an opponent, you can recruit them as an ally.

He looks at me with bitter eyes.

“It really is...... You're right! It wasn't my father's intentions. It's just how proud I am of myself. Why did I forget something so simple? ”

We hugged again. Jack wrapped his delicate forearms around my shoulders. It was the most favourable thing a naive person could give to others. I didn't think Jack was full of it, but this time I had to be moved. There were a few moments when I felt genuine, even for a fool, and this was the moment for Jack. It was a pretty cool thing to meet in life. The two of us went our separate ways, regretting our parting.

I was drawn to the northern gate, immersed in the emotions I felt in humans. A man stands over the hood, as promised, at the North Gate and by the stable. Seeing me, he came closer.

“Well done, my lord Dantalian. ”

A clear voice without a high day. Lapis.

“Looks like you chose a second plan. ”

“That's it. Well, whatever the plan is, it doesn't matter. ”

“There are two total defenses in the city: the Great Summoning Magic Defense. One is the Lord's Palace and the other is the Temple. The auction house for the slave labor camp is located outside the city, making it difficult for the guards to respond immediately in the event of an emergency. ”

As expected, Lapis. I gave you the information I needed. I was satisfied.

“Perfect for playing with fire. I'll add 10 Gold to the quest. ”

“Thank you again for using Kunkusa today. ”

I smiled.

“And I'd like to add a little quest. ”
