319th episode
a horribly grown nose
"Huck?! What's wrong with you? I don't know what it is, but I'm sorry!"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"Kehek!"
Not only Taylor but also the aristocrats stepped down in horror at Jae-ho's horrible appearance.
Even Tina takes a step back.
But it was Jae-ho who was more embarrassed than anyone else.
'That's ridiculous! The lie failed?!’
But soon after seeing the reaction of the nobles, Jae-ho understood why this happened.
"My, please forgive me! Unconditionally! I will do as you are told!"
"If you kill the Duke of Burrows, I will kill you!"
[The other is telling the truth.]
Their heart toward Jae-ho was sincere.
However, it was just a result of fear, and it meant that he did not accept what Jae-ho said as true.
In other words, I don't believe you, but I will.
'This... can be twisted like this.'
It was his mistake to think of lies simply.
the headwinds brought on by the extreme psychological state of the nobility
'Well... this situation isn't as bad as it is.’
It was enough to say that I would follow Jae-ho.
They're so terrified they won't even think about hitting the back of their heads.
* * *
After hearing about the situation after landing, King Rasel groaned with a sad face.
"I've heard that the kingdom is noisy because of the aristocracy's quarrel, but... I really didn't know you'd do this kind of reckless thing."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I don't know how to do this in other lands....! That's where your Majesty is!"
"How embarrassing. I never thought the aristocrats would show such rude and ignorant behavior!"
"Right! God must have been angry because he was angry at himself for the sake of treason."
King Rasel and Count Toucharea, who are living among themselves.
Looking at it, I could feel that King Rasel was not a simple child like I thought.
'You're attacking me outright because you think it's time.
At the weak appearance of the opposing forces, King Rasel pushed fiercely, and the nobles rescued by Jae-ho were shaking their heads before him without saying a word.
If you look at them, they were also caught in the back of the head by the Duke of the Ruins.
But before that, I had no words to say because I had a record of raising my voice in the opposition.
"Your Majesty! These are traitors! They pretended to be for the country on the surface, but they were actually shameless men who tried to overthrow the country and the mausoleum!"
Count Tucharea shouted with all his might.
He is especially angry because his villa burned down.
He seemed to be holding back what he wanted to blow up right away.
"It will take time for me to judge. "However, may I regard those who are not here as obvious traitors?"
King Rasel asked Taylor.
"Except for those who couldn't escape from the mansion and died. They shook up the relationship between Your Majesty and King Alsia and set up work to satisfy their greed, and then ran away to the land."
"That's what you'”
In considerable anger King Rasel gave orders to the Knight Commander.
"Capture the household's householders to the royal castle at once by royal order! I'm going to hold you accountable right now! If they don't follow suit, they no longer deserve the honor of the Lassel Kingdom!"
But the only problem is that the Duke of Burrows is not from this world.
Jaeho and King Rasel, who met separately to discuss it.
King Rasel, who was shouting with a distorted face, could not find any of the seriousness of the situation a while ago.
"Phew, you're all cool. I think I can get rid of everything that bothers me at this time.”
As expected, Rasel's king-like reaction.
I knew for a long time that she was a very snob, unlike her looks.
"But what about the Duke of Burrows?”
a desperate maneuver removed by Taylor, who was motivated.
Now time has passed and no bodies have been found.
"Isn't that a good thing? He was a sniper of my power, so I'd rather disappear like that."
"It's not that simple, is it?"
Even if the great noble family's owner died, the tax still remained.
No one knew how the next generation of the muggers would turn out.
"Anyhow, no one knows that except Count Taylor and you?"
"Right?"
"Then it'll be easier for us to press them, too. You can claim that the Duke of the Old has disappeared.”
“…….”
It was quite a horrid and cruel way.
The sound from the standpoint of the mole is like a bolt from the blue sky.
I didn't know what it would feel like to ask someone to give up.
"Well... I see."
But this is strictly the work of the Rasel Kingdom.
He didn't have to get involved right away.
If there were any other problems, it would be more beneficial to help later in the form of a quest.
And Jae-ho has already obtained important information.
It was to interrogate the rescued aristocrats and find out for sure the organization behind them.
'As expected of the Mint Destroyer.
Until now, we had been able to make a definite decision.
Now that the Duke of Gumol, who used to serve as a link between the opposition and the Mint Destruction, has died, there will soon be chaos on the part of the Mint Destruction Team.
If you cook the remaining opposition aristocrats well, you'll be able to root out the Mint Destruction Team.’
Of course, it will be after the punishment of King Rasel's wrath is all over.
* * *
Elysia garden human habitation area.
The plain but unusual place is New World's first planning city.
Most humans, except for the Elf, are also made up of players, a place that smells more real than anywhere else.
In other words, however, it also meant that there were so many crazy people.
"Your Majesty! The recent appearance of unidentified armed forces in the desert has added to the traders' anxiety!"
A few days after returning to the garden, Julkan, who hurriedly visited Jaeho, informed me.
"Surely the mints again.
It was obvious without recognition.
I already heard the news that the desert side has been noisy lately.
It was time for the problem of the anti-Lassel aristocracy to affect them as well.
"No! I wouldn't have even put up a report if those little boys were the problem!"
"Huh? Is it something else?”
"Yes! It's a story about people who are pulling strange wagons that have never been seen in the world."
"Ma...a car..."?"
"They say they're not hostile to us yet, but I think you need to do it yourself."
"Okay. Where should I go?"
"Wherever in the desert, there are traces of the wagon, so you'll be able to find it soon. They also make weird noises when they show up nearby.….”
So nearly half-heartedly pushed back, Jae-ho and Tina left the garden.
Two people heading for the desert across the human habitation zone.
But as soon as he got out of the way, Jae-ho suddenly stopped walking in the rapidly changing street atmosphere.
"What's wrong with this place?"
streets plastered with glistening green
And at the entrance of the queer street was a large sign.
[Crocodile Family Distance]
“…….”
Only then did I realize that this street was where the goods store was.
There has been a street that specializes in handling crocodile family-related products.
I'm not involved in the creation of streets, but......... I never thought this would happen.’
As I took a slow walk, most of the art players set up roadside stalls and were operating.
They made and sold crocodile family items in various forms, including paintings, sculptures, badges, etc.
Moreover, the original stores on the street displayed alligator family-related products and changed the interior design, so the money seemed to be quite good.
The cheering sticks are selling at a much higher price than expected.’
In addition, players with music-related classes were gathering to show off their skills here and there.
Crocodile family hits played with instruments that are totally out of sync with modern music.
Jae-ho was not familiar with the crocodile family, but the song itself was something he had heard before.
It's a song that comes out all the time at the gym right now gym.
It's a little weird, but... I think it's better to create a street like this...….’
The creation of a landmark bearing the name of the crocodile family will greatly help revitalize the economy of the entire Elysia garden.
And it could be a great camp for alligators like the bomb that's about to explode.
"Oh?! Alcia!"
A cry from a crocodile bird that just found Jae-ho.
Then quickly, they rushed in and began to pour out what they wanted to say to Jae-ho.
"Mr. Alsia?! ID Alsia! When will the light stick come off again?”
"I saw you get a number ticket last time! ID Alsia, who's your favorite?"
"Please don't roll our chief too hard!"
"Do you happen to have any other goods?!”
And the answer to that was already fixed.
"I don't know! Let me get through! Oh, don't stop me!"
There was nothing good to him to talk to them, so Jae-ho passed quickly, consistently ignoring them.
At that moment, a word that cannot be ignored was lodged in Jae-ho's ear.
"I heard that Alsia is supporting the Mint Destruction Trams! As expected, Alsia is also a fan of the crocodile family, right? Am I right?"
at a pause
Jae-ho's foot stopped suddenly and found the opponent who said the word.
"What did you say?”
"What?"
It was fine when he shouted in the crowd, but he was intimidated by the fact that he received the attention alone.
"What you just said to me...….”
"Oh, are you a fan of the crocodile family? I asked... yo...….”
"No, not that. Didn't you say some kind of tram?"
"Oh, Mint Destruction...….”
The strange name felt cheap, but Jae-ho felt it instinctively.
That's what Zulkan was worried about.
* * *
I heard a rough story from crocodile birds on the streets of the crocodile family.
Mint Destroyer tank.
This means that it is a tram that destroys mints.
"I think this is the weird carriage.”
"I've heard it from the other Elves. There's a haunted carriage moving around in the desert.”
"Elf, do you believe in ghosts, too?”
"I don't believe it."
"But why is it a haunted carriage?”
"So I didn't believe it."
When I was walking in the desert listening to Tina's strangely persuasive nonsense.
"Wait!"
Jae-ho listened to the strange sound that sounded fine.
"Can't you hear anything?"
"What?"
"Try your ears. I'm sure you hear something."
Tina began to concentrate with her forehead crumpled by Jae-ho's words.
"Uh-huh..."
At the sight of Tina, who seemed to be having a hard time listening to the sound, Jae-ho felt sorry for the moment.
Is it a prejudice that the hearing of the elves is far superior to that of humans?’
a fact not considered at all so far
"Maybe you need a movement inside your ear that involves pain to hear a distant sound...….”
How else would he try to listen with such a tired look?
"I'm gonna... I'm gonna smash you... Prefive... The real run of my life...….”
At Tina's murmur, which seemed to read her mind, Jae-ho flinched.
"Me, are you talking to me?”
"What? That's how it sounds in the distance. I don't know what you mean."
"...don't you get sick when you hear the sound?"
"Why?"
Jae-ho erased the worries he had for a while.
He must have just frowned to concentrate.
'That's true, and your hearing is excellent.’
Elf hearing was not a simple prejudice, given that he heard the noise so closely.
Dong Dong Dong Dorong
It's so close that Jaeho can hear it clearly.
"This is..."?"
Somehow it was a familiar melody.
It wasn't a very fitting instrument, but... A rhythm that makes your shoulders flutter.
And soon I found out what Tina had heard first.
[Woooh I'm so cool]
This music is the crocodile family's song!
And the song was popping out of a disk-shaped round carriage.
