Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants

Episode 363

I overtook the Zakars and the Mercenaries into Mt. Kayankaka, making contact with the "mountain people" who lived on the hillside.

The old stone ruins that are crumbled and the villages scattered around them are their living area.

He lives a self-sufficient life in the mountains, so his life is modest, but he never seems poor.

The food was plentiful, and the clothes I was wearing were dyed with vegetation and colorful. The house is also wooden, but the inside is cool and comfortable.

I greet the head of the mountain people and give a dragon scale ball as a gift.

"Hello, my name is Weito von Eindorf, a Werewolf. I am an aide to the Demon King in the Commonwealth of Milaldia."

"Welcome, Weid. This is my first meeting with a werewolf."

The warm old man nodded small and received a dragon ball.

Gifts have different meanings and rules are complicated in Kwor, but once they are received, they will not be in dispute.

The elder picks up the polished jewel and hands it off twice before placing it.

And raised his palms high.

"I have blessed you with good treasure, my ancestors, my ancestors. May you, my guests, protect my ancestors."

"Thank you"

I learned a bit about the manners of the mountain people in Peshmet, who stopped by on the way, but I bowed lightly accordingly.

It's polite to keep your palm lower than your opponent's hand.

The height of the palm indicates the level of welcome, and when it is not, you will have to rub your head on the floor.

The little elder worked so hard to raise the palm, so I only had to lower my head lightly.

Then the elder smiles.

"Weid has shown our way. We also want to show his way."

"I'm afraid"

It is a common practice in modern Japan to check in advance the customs and manners of a place to go for the first time.

But it is not common in this world.

The foreigner who had studied the customs of the mountain people would have been felt fresh by the elders.

"by the way……"

When the elder said so, the outside was getting noisy.

The elder and I look up and stand up from either side.

The elder muttered.

"It's now according to Waid's warning."

When I came to the table, it was as expected.

"Elder!

A small girl is carrying a sword or spear in a bundle and smiling.

Behind them are the married mercenaries on horseback. Everyone was scared.

I was relieved to die because Kumerk was at the forefront. Was good.

It is the older women who are walking around the mercenaries. They are wearing national costumes of mountain people.

It is a mysterious sight that about ten mercenaries are frightened by three women at the waist, but I can imagine what they saw. It is natural to be scared.

"Kmerk!"

When I called out, Kumerk looked surprised.

"Wait !?"

When I walk on the horse, Kumerk descends as normal.

A mountain girl who saw it stopped in a hurry.

"Oh, here! Don't get off on your own!"

I laugh at the girl.

"The person is okay. I won't imitate you."

"Well, who?

"uncle……"

When I suddenly spelled out, an older woman dropped a gunk on the girl's head.

"I'm like!"

The older woman pressed her fist against the girl's pocket and squeezed with skull-like deformation.

"You are an aide to the Demon King of a distant foreign country, isn't it?

"Dad! It's a memorable one!"

Uncle ... Uncle?

It's the first time I've been called since reincarnation, so it's a bit shocking.

The older woman smiles.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Mr. Weid, in Khwall's words," Uncle "is used for all married men, so age doesn't matter."

"No, that's fine."

I heard that Duke Peshmet had contact with the people of the mountains, but I was told that I was married for some reason.

Well

It's better than that now.

I turn again to Kummerk, who was completely left behind.

"Kumerck, it's safer than anything else. Are you injured?"

"Ah, no. I was so surprised to die ..."

"Well?"

The fact that he and his men are alive is evidence that he has made the right decision.

So could he take on his personality?

I thought so, but when I heard the situation, it didn't seem so easy.

The elder makes a difficult face and shakes his head.

"They's crew has attacked the mountain people."

"That's reckless ..."

It's not me, but Fern who is with me.

Fern looks at Kummerk by his side and speaks sorry.

"You thought you would die?"

"Yes, a pretty woman suddenly in front of me ..."

Kumerk hurriedly shut his mouth, trying to say what happened suddenly. I think it was bad to make a bad impression.

Apparently, the mercenary spies seemed to be having trouble as soon as they entered Kayankaka Mountains, saying that the people of the mountain already recognized the mercenaries as enemies.

The mercenaries were relatively disciplined in the city, so I was completely off guard, but when you think about them, they were no better than bandits.

Why do we go straight on the suicide route every time?

I turn to the elder while sighing in my heart.

"Kmerk is the mercenary conscience. With him, he can be withdrawn, leaving the mercenaries disciplined."

After Zakar is gone, the remaining mercenaries will be brought together by Kummerk and brought back to the royal capital.

Kumerk has a reputation for mercenaries, and he has the administrative power to make mercenaries adhere to strict military regulations.

But the elder laughs.

"What's good is to get rid of it without having to withdraw. Mountain people will sometimes have to fight."

This is right away.

Too warlike.

I knew that the elder was excited about the battle, so I tried to persuade from a different direction.

"Well, at least I'd like to request the help of Kummerk and his men."

"Well, let's find out if a person named Kumerk has sinned in Kayankaka. We only need to look at the head of the flock."

How do you find out?

When I thought so, something started preparing behind the scenes.

After a while, Kumerk was heading to the table, watching for armed mountain people.

He looks around with an anxious look.

"Wright, what is going on?"

I want to know that.

Then the elder told Kumerk.

"Kmerk, son of Hal'an. I will now perform the judgment ritual."

In front of him was a dish of roasted beans. What is that?

"Okay, it's a 'judging bean' that only grows in the sacred land of Kayankaka. His holy power will kill the sinners."

Kumerk looks awkward.

I don't think that just beans have such power, but the Khul people are superstitious anyway.

Kumerk was completely scared.

The elder tells with a gentle expression.

"Kumerck, prove that you are innocent. If you are innocent, eating the beans will not kill you."

"Wow, I have not sinned ..."

"If so, prove it."

The elder quietly pointed at the heaping beans.

Kumerk is completely swallowed by the atmosphere of the venue.

His men were tied up, and mountain people with hatchets and axes were standing with harsh expression behind him. If the result of the judgment is out, it is obvious what will happen to your subordinates.

"This, this bean ...?"

"Yes.

The elder looks at Kummerk with a scary face.

I had heard of this ceremony. This situation is dangerous.

So I called Kumerk in Milaldia.

"Gueta!"

At that moment, the mountain people and Kumerk look at me.

The elder asked.

"What happened?"

I answer with a clear face.

"In the dialects of the coastal area of Kuwait, he said," Go for it. "

"I see. But please refrain from speaking during the ceremony."

"I'm sorry."

Kumerk is a master of Milaldia. If that is the case, I will definitely make a mistake.

Kumerk was pale on his face and sweating his forehead, but looked at me again.

I nod vigorously to encourage him.

Kumerk then held the plate in his hands and burst into the mouth with all the beans.

And chew with crunchy and forcibly swallow down.

After a while, Kumerk began to writhe violently.

"Geho! Ugu, eh!"

Kummerk vomits without hesitation because the mountain people casually offered a tub.

He was vomiting, but after a while the vomiting seemed to subside.

Although his face had gone through the deep blue, he was still alive.

I saw the elder and smiled grinning.

"I'm alive"

"That's right. Apparently he seems innocent."

The elder raised his hand and declared loudly.

"Judgment has fallen! The land of the great Kayankaka has pleaded guilty to this man! He has acquitted his men! Release the rope! These are guests!

The mercenaries, who were terrified, were all relieved and all put on petari and buttocks.

Kumerk was released and a small but welcome dinner started. The mercenaries are half-bringed with roasted venison and fresh fruit.

But because Mercenary Kummerk was eating poisonous beans and spitting gero, mercenaries wouldn't know what to eat.

The mercenaries are terrified and eating in an effort to offend the mountain people.

I'm sorry.

I saw a chance and made time to be alone with Kumerk.

"Thank you, Mr. Weid"

Kummerk bowed deeply at me.

"I wouldn't have been terrified and eaten in the atmosphere unless Vaid had said," At a glance! "

"In that case, you have died of innocence ..."

There was a poisonous bean called "Calabar beans" in the previous life.

It is a slow-acting, poisonous bean, but has a weak vomiting effect.

So if you eat it little by little, it will die without effect of the vomiting effect, but if you eat at a stretch, the vomiting effect will exhale the beans and help you.

It was used in court in exactly the same way in previous life, and I knew from reading books.

Miraraldia has a similar bean, which is known as "Togabi Tome" because it was used to judge convicts. Probably that is also a beetle.

It's a fairly violent trial: if you don't do it, you will eat at a stretch and if you do, you will eat and die a little at a time.

Kumerk can only say that he was lucky.

I explained it to him and smiled.

"I couldn't stand the death of a honest man like you. I hindered the sacred ordinances of the mountain people, but your life is more important to me."

"Wait ..."

Kumerk was as calm as he could, but tears overflowed from his eyes.

"Why are you doing this dangerous thing for me?"

"I told you, you are the right man."

Kummerk shook his shoulders, covering his eyes with his palms and biting his lips.
