I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)
698 Nighthardt
As I watched the Kamakiri man checking the tournament table, his face accidentally turned this way.
Glynn and his neck turn, only his face turns this way. The sight of clicking and tipping his little neck as it was was was quite horror chick. "Strange, Kamakiri man! Like '?
I'll be ready to activate my memories at any time. But what emanated from the Kamakiri man was an unexpected word.
"Maybe Lord Fran of Black Heavenly Tiger?
"Mmm."
"Oh! It looks like my people took care of me in Wang Du."
Wang Du? A half-worm man in Wang Du means...
"Are you an associate of Eliante?
Eliante, guild master of King Kranzel's capital, was a spider half-wormer. Besides, she also became acquainted with members of the mercenary regiment she used to belong to, The Tentacles and the Crust.
This mercenary regiment is said to be a rare group of mercenaries, made up of only half worms.
"... Could it be that you know the Eliantes?
"Yes!
Was it a hit?
When he gives Eliante's name, Mr. Kamakiri raises his delightful voice. However, Kamakiri's face can't read his expression at all, so he only guesses from his voice.
"You'll see me first. My name is Nighthardt and I'm the leader of the mercenary regiment Tentacles and Crustaceans."
Nighthardt bows carefully. It's elegant even though it's a kamakiri.
"Are you the captain?
"Yes, well, there are no other members who can do it, they just pushed me"
With that said, Nighthardt felt like he deserved to stand on people, like he existed.
I'm also sure that the person's modesty and the other members are not suitable for the summary role, but it was getting very firm that Nighthardt was the head of the regiment even without it.
"I heard you were a cute little lady, but cuter than rumors"
"Excuse me. That was impolite."
Even though it's a chilling (kizzy) dialogue, I don't dislike it at all. I guess it's because that attitude is gentlemanly.
"Thank you for helping my friends. If you have any problems, please let us know. The companions will not forsake, nor will they be thankful. Because that is the philosophy of activity. Heh heh, it's natural to rush to the pinch of a lovely lady."
He's handsome! He's good-looking in character and doing it! Even though he's a kamakiri, he's super handsome, this guy!
"I was helped a lot, too. Ouch."
"No, I hear you're the benefactor of life, right? Remember, it's true that you appreciate it"
"Okay."
"That being said, if you win a tournament, you won't be remiss, will you?
"Where I Want It"
Fran smiles invincibly at Nighthardt's words. Imagine Nighthardt's strength, and he's having fun.
I felt what I saw in Wang Du, and all the half-wormed mercenaries were strong. I guess he's stronger than the team leader.
We have Fermus and Elsa on the same block. For a match against Fran to come true, he has to come up to the finals.
I wonder what will happen?
"... are there everyone else?
"The Robins are still helping Eliante in the King's Capital. It's time to move on to the next battlefield."
"Nighthardt is the captain, isn't he?
"Oh, you mean why am I the only one here?
"Mmm."
"To solicit new members, right?
Apparently, Nighthardt's aim is to stand out by being active in the tournament and to interest half-wormers in the field.
They are a mercenary regiment of only half-wormers. This is not just exclusive, but the aim is to get together and help each other half-wormers, who are often seen in society with strange eyes.
If the exterior features are faint, the wind is. But some half-wormers, like Nighthardt, have strong insect traits and have become other racist phobias as a result of persecution.
For those, a mercenary regiment of only half-wormers was also a place of rest.
That is why they do not welcome humans, elves, dwarves and other races into their regiments, but confine themselves to a group of only half worms.
However, there are not so many half-wormers with strong parental traits. It wasn't something that I could think of to increase my regiment's personnel or find someone that was so good.
"So I'm digging up talent everywhere, right? If you play in this tournament, it will catch the attention of many half-wormers."
Nighthardt's appearance would certainly be a big topic. So if we spread the story of the mercenary regiment together, we might see those who want to join the regiment.
"I see."
"Lord Fran, if you meet a half-wormer on your journey, please promote us"
"Okay. Well, if there's a Black Cat clan over there, I'd like you to tell me about evolution."
"Okay. Let's help each other."
Nighthardt knew the story of the Black Cats in considerable detail. That's why he was quite familiar with the evolutionary conditions.
I guess because such information can also be one of the weapons as a mercenary regiment.
"Oh, yeah. One piece of advice."
"Apparently, there are people sniffing around about you. I don't know who you are, but maybe you're not an adventurer."
"Gathering information for the tournament?
"Maybe, but at this time of year, all sorts of freaks get into this town, too. If you're a celebrity, you could be buying grudges without knowing it, and you should be careful."
"Okay. Thanks for letting me know."
"No. I'll see you later"
"Mmm."
Nighthardt, gratefully, left the spot.
"People sniffing around about Fran."
Enemy?
'I don't know. It's possible we're just looking into information about famous adventurers. "
Ursi is still away for surveillance. I have to be careful.
