Marquis' Express Butler

“Stop for a second. ”

As soon as the spiritual command came through, I immediately opened the window and summoned Arthurs. He turns his head this way and squeezes his fist tightly.

It was a call to stop the wagon.

“Stop!”

The cavalry skillfully slowed the horses down, and the cavalry remained intact. Sapiella opened her eyes and said a word.

“Let's rest a bit and go. ”

“Yes, sir. I'll be right with you. ”

I opened the door and stepped on the ground before the wagon even stood still. As Arthur steps off his horse, he comes this way.

“What's going on? ”

“Let's rest for a while. Be ready right away."

“Yes.”

Whether the subtle scent of the forest moved Sapiella's spirit, we had to go into the forest to stop the wagon and rest.

Adeline's mansion's gardens are as vast as the woods.

However, this forest that Heaven Hye's nature created was different from the air. I heard the buzzing of flying birds even more vividly.

“The lady will get out of the wagon and rest for a while. Stand guard, everyone. Prepare the barracks. Secure the safe zones while Squads 2 and 3 hold the designated ledge. Lady's safety is at stake. Everybody, stay sharp! This is real.”

“Old!”

Like the Elite Guard, they followed Arthur's command faithfully. Seeing that, I thought of his future to grow into a wonderful knight.

I thought I would have difficulty with the throttle because I was younger, but my skills seemed to captivate me. Everyone moves erratically.

Squads 2 and 3 take their weapons and patrol to secure the safe area, while Squad 1 takes their luggage from the wagon and sets up camp.

The barracks were quickly completed. They proved themselves to be noble by their skills.

“I'll take you this way. Miss."

Beneath the tent is a chair with a luxurious liver. I brought her back to her seat.

She takes a leisurely seat in a scenic location, and Arwen walks out on her arms.

“You're having a hard time. Having a cup of tea will ease your fatigue a bit. ”

Arwen prepares steaming teawater for when it's ready. It tasted better with a clean stream flowing nearby.

So far, the smooth royal road continues without a big problem.

I looked at it again and again.

The Secretary of Practice is very articulate. The Secretary of Practice must take care of the whole group. If something goes wrong, I'm responsible.

Then Arthur comes running, gathering reports from the soldiers.

“Reconnaissance shows no unusual anomalies. There are no signs of monsters, it's a safe place. ”

“Well done.”

Arthur, who finished his report, was indiscreet. He occasionally complained that he had to write me in return.

Every time I did that, I just laughed. If you don't like it, you should get a promotion. Is that okay?

To be honest, you saved me from that stuffy mansion's barracks.

“How many breaks do you take? ”

“An hour, no. Thirty minutes should be enough. ”

“I'll let you rest in 10 minutes, one squad at a time. Why don't you head straight to Hamilton, your next destination. ”

“Good.”

As I looked around, I quietly asked Arthur to hear it.

“But are there monsters in these woods? ”

“You see, there are no strong ones, but a large number of predatory monsters live there. ”

Arthurs said in half-words as if he was waiting, just to hear from me.

If you're a predecessor, you're referring to a monster who jumps at you with hostility. I wonder what they'll be like. I heard Goblins and other kids like this are common.

So far, I've only dealt with people. I've never dealt with monsters before. I just heard a lot of stories.

Maybe even a slime. When I used to make cotton wool, it was the slime sap that Simon used to make his mark.

Then I suddenly thought,

Am I in the game?

The status window, as well as the heterosexuals and monsters were common settings in my favorite RPG games.

No, it's too real for the game. I don't think it's a dream.

“Goblins are common around here. Usually they live in forests. ”

Goblins.

Before I left, I asked again, touching Mana's pistol with an extra option.

“Are they dangerous? ”

“It's not that dangerous. Just be careful what you do in groups. Well, if you're a great butler, Dylan, you can cut through everything with your eyes closed, right? ”

He mocked and laughed. Anyway, thanks for the good information.

I tapped him on the shoulder and turned around.

“I'm going to look around for a while, so don't take one second away from the lady. ”

“Yes, I understand. Sir, where are you going? ”

“Just browsing? ”

“Just browsing. Someone told me before we left that we weren't going to the royal highway, so I was wondering if it was a coincidence. ”

That's what I said. Useless good memory.

“I have work to do. ”

“What's that? ”

“I'll talk to you slowly later. Just stay true to your mission. ”

Arthur lets out a sigh, bowing his head and following orders, and I take another look at Sapiella's tranquility and leave.

I changed my mind when I was thinking of walking along the path.

How there is a path where there is no path.

Sagrac!

I dared to venture into one forest through the bush. There's room for a few people to come and go, and there's a quiet stream coming from the other end.

As I walked through the bush, I saw a stream. Several herbivores were choking.

Is it a deer?

The National Geographic Channel had a great view.

Next to the deer, a wolf tightens its neck. In a word, peace. He glances at me with a twinkle of his eye, but turns off the water and drinks it again.

“Wow, that's amazing. I've never seen a forest like this before. ”

For me, a typical modern man who only experienced building forests, one leaf and one petal were all different experiences.

I stood by the stream for a moment and looked around.

“But aren't there any monsters? ”

We didn't just come here to see the landscape. There was something I needed to test.

The performance of the Mana Pistol.

Just before the Royal Road, I added an option to the Mana Pistol. It is a ‘penetrating’ option.

The bullet did not penetrate and hit before the option was entered. Mana wraps the bullet tightly around it and deals physical damage. Now, if you press this option switch, the bullet will penetrate the target like a real gun.

This option is not intended to kill people. Monsters are now frequently encountered when you leave the city, so it was an option for monsters.

It's better to eliminate them altogether than to stun them.

“But you can't catch a deer. ”

When the wolf comes, it tests me for spring, but whether I'm depressed or full, the wolf eats water and disappears into the forest.

“I have to go around more. ”

After checking the time again, I took a step into the darker shaded forest.

* * *

Arthur's words were accurate. Goblins are common monsters in these woods.

After walking along the stream, I met a poor Goblin dressed in filthy rags. Its height is slightly above about 1 meter and its skin is entirely green.

His eyes were as big as his fists, and his ears were very sharp, but he was piercing metal. There is a crude blade in his hand. A humanoid monster with two arms and legs.

“Zeug?”

He looks lively with his red eyes flashing.

That's Margie.

Only one feature that can distinguish between wild animals and monsters. Wildlife may be violent, but eyesight is normal, and monsters are said to emit a red light that is as dark as blood.

Their heads are full of destructive instincts. It's their habit to attack and see what life looks like.

There are some monsters with intelligence, but you won't see them on the way to the Royal Road.

“Glug!”

A cried Goblin approaches me slowly. Seeing the taste again, it seemed to recognize me as food.

Was that shout a sign? In the back, one or two red glares grew.

“I guess you had friends. It's good to see you guys.”

I relaxed and observed their behavior. You hear rustling, and there are Goblins everywhere with crude weapons like flies and stone axes.

They just surrounded me. Is this how you hunt for food?

“Goblin as the first monster. Not bad. If an Orc had come out, it would have been hard. ”

A Goblin is a monster commonly seen on continents. It is said to be highly fertile. So cleaning up after the kids here doesn't ruin the environment.

More like a protective side. Monsters tend to indiscriminately harm wildlife.

I quietly pulled out the Mana Pistol.

Heave-ho!

Enabled optional penetration after loading. I aimed at the Goblin looking at me from the front.

The moment the red dot touches his head, I pull the trigger.

Bang!

The penetration option made the sound cheerful not only in the way it hit, but also at the time of the blast.

The bullet that flew away with the trigger sound pierces the Goblin's glabella in an instant. He falls back, bleeding without a sound of chirping.

“On the couch?”

“Grrrrrrrrr…. ”

Suddenly, their deaths agitate them. Even though they have low intelligence, Goblins live in groups.

I did not miss that gap.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

“Queek!”

“Queek!”

“Yuck!”

Green blood splattered everywhere with screams. You defeated all the Goblins without wasting a single shot.

“The option seems to be in good hands. ”

We need to check performance accurately first. I walk towards the fallen with my gloves on.

As you get closer, the rest of you begin to step back.

Tata, Tata, Tata!

I've eliminated all the remaining Goblins. If those who survived for no reason come back and bring their friends back as a unit, it bothers me.

I leaned back and examined the Goblin corpse.

“You're stronger than I thought. ”

Turning over, the bullet appears to have penetrated properly. But your muscles don't look so good. The hide might not work on the thick ones.

“They were weak at first. Looks like we're gonna need a stronger test subject. ”

It was a flaw that I was running out of time. I checked to see if there was any by-product from the monster's corpse. But I didn't deserve it. That part required a little more studying.

“That's all for today. I don't want to nag Arthurs. ”

I took off my gloves, loaded my pistol, and returned to the wagon.

The soldiers are getting ready to withdraw, making sure they arrive on time. Sapiella doesn't look like she's already on the wagon. Arwen was cleaning up after you.

“Is everything all right? ”

“If it's so peaceful, it's a problem. ”

“I hope so in the future. Let's get going. Hit the signal. ”

“Yep.”

Arthurs gets on the horse, and I get on the wagon.

So we resumed our journey and made it safely to the royal family, leaving behind minor incidents.
