Episode 80 Sewerage (1)
How long did you walk through the sewerway while being wary of the surroundings?
The dwarf and Misha started to study.
“There really is nothing here.”
“So that’s what I mean
.
What were they expecting?
“That’s why I told you. It’s just a quest that ends after you go around once.”
This request is simple.
The end is to wear a borrowed video recorder on your head and go around the designated route to see if there are people hiding.
Well, there could be a battle in the process, but…
‘The predecessor said he found less than 30 people in two years.’
The frequency of encounters with strangers is low.
Even if you run into them, you don’t have to chase them far away and fight them.
“Huh? You don’t have to chase me?”
“I heard that there is an additional allowance if caught, but there is no need to hang on there.”
“What’s the matter?”
Yes, the request I received is ‘Sewer Patrol’.
I heard that treatment or arrest will be handled by sending new personnel only after the administrative office checks the video record.
“That’s right…” As
I was explaining the request to Misha, Rotmiller, who was leading the group in front of me, suddenly stopped.
“Somehow it feels like there’s something around.”
Groundless murmurs based on intuition.
At that word, everyone in the party looked around.
Since it is a sewer full of musty smell, the olfactory system stats won’t shine as much as before, but…
It was Rotmiller who increased the sixth sense stat by +50 and the luck stat by +20 with the Mimic’s essence.
“Oh! That person over there!”
Then Misha points to a place and shouts.
As I move my eyes along it, I see a man with a puzzled expression.
‘Hey, how did he see this again?’
A gap in which it is difficult to squeeze through a person’s body.
The man hid himself in a hole in the middle, curled up like a shrimp.
“Hee!!”
He put his hand in, grabbed the man by the collar, and pulled him out.
He’s quite tall, but maybe because he’s skinny, he’s light as if he’s holding a goblin.
It wasn’t too different from the goblins.
“die!!”
As soon as he came out, the man stabbed the dagger he was holding tightly in his hand.
The try was good.
You have to do anything to live, right?
“Keuk!!!!”
The battle ended when he grabbed the wrist holding the dagger and then broke it.
“Why were you hiding here?”
At my question, the man quickly changed his attitude.
“Save me! Please! I didn’t hurt anyone, just didn’t have money, did I?”
It’s not the answer I was looking for, but
if I had to interpret it, it would mean that I ran away because I couldn’t pay my taxes.
No one believed that.
“It reminds me of the old days! Even when I was working at the blacksmith shop in the past, thugs with tattoos like this often came to visit me. Hahaha! It’s
different from geometric barbarian tattoos.
Tattoos such as skulls and naked female monsters are engraved. Lost skin.
Of course, I don’t judge a person’s inside by looking at the outside.
But…
“Look at the brand on Bjorn’s forehead. It must be a criminal who fled into the sewer.”
The stigma on his forehead hidden under the hood is proof that he committed a heinous crime that could not be covered by a ‘fine’. There is
no
room for sympathy. ” Bjorn
, what is he going to do now?”
“Well,”
“Wouldn’t the administration give you some kind of instructions in advance?”
Hmm, they certainly did give some advice.
The basic policy is to catch him and bring him back, but we just filmed the video properly. If you kill it and throw it in the sewer, there’s no problem?
“Can I kill you? What if it’s an ordinary person?”
“They say there can’t be an ordinary person who stumbled into a place like this.”
“Hahaha! As expected, the administration is clean without blood or tears!”
Well , I think it might have been considerate of the explorers without blood and
tears
.
I’ll do it.”
I wouldn’t know if it was alone.
Thanks to the five of us, there’s a hand left.
More than anything, the person who saves and takes them gives an additional 5,000 stones.
“Please, take a look at me. You can’t just ignore it and ignore it. Even if I ended up like this, I want to make a living—”
“Stop it.”
There was no need for detailed conversation.
Whether it was a tax delinquent, a criminal, or a criminal who committed a crime for unavoidable reasons.
So what should I do?
“I received a request. so i take you Judgment will be made there.”
“……Fuck! Bastard puppies! What’s the difference between you and me!” If it were the
same,
would you have had to beg me like this? ”
Dwalky shut up.”
“Oh, I see.”
I used it to quiet the man.
Stiff body.
I put the man on my shoulder like carrying a bag of rice and continued walking. About
an hour had passed since then? ”
How much further do I have to go to Rottiller?”
”
“Eh? There’s still half left?”
Misha sighs as if she’s been following her for no reason.
Then she opens her mouth as if she’s curious about one thing.
“But Dwalkie, why are you so fine? Last time I threw up and said it wasn’t a joke.”
“Whoa, you mean that? In fact, this time I learned the magic to make it smellless. It turns out that magic is considered essential among wizards who have lived an explorer’s life.” ”
Oh, that’s right. But you can’t cast that on someone else?”
“Uh… that’s because I’m not used to transforming spells yet…”
Dwalki, who was proudly explaining the new magic, blurted out his words.
I chuckled. ”
It’s not that I’m not used to it,
it’s that I’m not good at it. ‘Magic transformation’ is the lifeblood of wizards at the Mage Tower. Even if
basic spells are taught for a fee, the methods of transforming magic or creating new types of spells are never exposed to the outside world.” Don’t—
“Let’s make a deal! If you let me go, I will give you information!”
The man suddenly screamed and started to struggle, as if the duration of the [Paralysis Poison] had expired.
” Information?”
He continued,
“That crazy bitch! If you catch that crazy bitch, it will be much more expensive than me!!”
“What are you listening to, Bjorn? It’s clear that he’s desperate to live somehow.”
That’s what I think too…
One word stuck in my ear.
“…Crazy bitch, tell me in detail.”
It was worth listening to. .

_
_ .I need a promise before we can talk!”
“Dwalkie, just make it like before—”
“I’ll tell you!!”
The man didn’t want to blow his chance like this
. you live Usually it’s just that it’s hard to see because it knows the paths of the patrols and avoids them…….” ”
Shortly .
”
It was like this.
I was doing well under the sewer system, but a woman came and took the house away. I
was not an ordinary woman.
I had a delicate body, but I had to be kicked out without using my hands properly because I
was carrying around skeleton gourds.” Aren’t you the one who ate?”
Misha tilted her head, citing the example of the 7th-level monster, Necramia.
But the man seemed convinced.
“I don’t know exactly what that is. but! It was completely different from the skeletons in the Labyrinth! I must have been an explorer once too!”
“So what’s the conclusion?”
“It must have been an evil black magic. If you hand it over to the temple, there will definitely be a reward. There’s no comparison to the likes of me!”
I thought
for
a moment.
…Could it be that woman?”
“Elisa Behenk. Certainly, if she wanted to escape, there would be no other option than here.”
Rottmiller and the dwarf gulped and spit out one word at a
time, as if having had similar thoughts.
I need to find out more,
because I still lack evidence to be sure.
“How was your impression? Tell me in detail.”
“I couldn’t see the detail because I was wearing a robe and a hood covered my face. I knew it was a woman from the lines of her body and her voice, but that’s all.”
“I see.”
“Ah! I just remembered that he was wearing a very unusual necklace…”
“What shape was it?”
“It’s hard to explain in words…”
I noticed something and quickly grabbed my backpack. I took out one thing from inside: the
symbol
of the Karui Church that I found while rummaging through Hans’ backpack the other day
. That’s how it is!”
Seeing the man nodded in agreement, I let out a deep sigh.
The possibility that it really was her increased dramatically.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“Hahaha what are you thinking about! I’m going to catch you right away and do justice!”
He said that justice is something he covets.
Anyway, if the dwarf was a radical, Rottmiller was a moderate
. We’re still not sure if she’s the right one, so don’t we have to take the risk?”
Both opinions are certainly correct.
If you catch the girl yourself, you can get a bounty. If you don’t take the risk, report the incident to others. But
…
‘Something’s unpleasant.’
만약 이 사내가 말한 미친년이 엘리사 베헨크가 맞다면 이대로 돌아가는 건 특히나 찜찜하다.
엘리사 베헨크는 단순한 ‘씹새끼’가 아니다.
그 여자는 무려 내게 원한을 가진 씹새끼다.
때문에 음지에서 뭔가 꿍꿍이를 꾸미고 ‘ Even
if the administrative office or the temple cooperates and sends a person, it will take a few days…’
If that bitch runs away in the meantime, I’ll have to keep feeling this way.
” I want to do it by sight, but what do you guys think?”
To my question, Misha immediately agreed.
Dwalky, who was in a neutral position, also cast one vote according to the decision of his best friend, the dwarf.
Rotmiller, who was worried, also obeyed the majority vote.
“Since the four of you have the same idea, I will follow. But before that, why don’t you finish all the patrol requests?”
“You’re right. Let’s do that.”
Soon, we moved faster and finished patrolling the route designated by the administrative agency.
“Where is your hideout? Guide me.”
“I need a promise to spare me.”
“If we find the woman we’re looking for, or if we think she’s worth it, I’ll let you go
.”
“Okay, follow me.
” ……?” What
is
it ?
”
Now that’s it, take the lead.”
“…It won’t be on the map, so please follow it.” Soon
after, the man started to find his way in earnest in this maze-like sewer system.
It was complicated.
Up until now, we had only wandered around the main road where the water flowed through the gutter
. Then , one question that arises
at this point is,
“Why did you hide in such a place and get caught?
” I couldn’t help it.”
That’s right, he’s also very unlucky.
“We’ve arrived.”
The place where the man stopped walking was a hole with a radius of 2m. I do
n’t know what the terrain was designed for, but the road under the hole “Everyone, lower your voice from now on.” ”
Whoa,
this is quite nerve-wracking.”
Unlike the slightly agitated dwarf or slightly scared Misha, I wasn’t too nervous.
Coincidentally, I wasn’t alone, but five All three came down the sewers together,
and everyone is much stronger than they were back then.
If the woman lurking down there is Elisa Behenk…
“Hey, is there anywhere you can escape inside?
” There is no other doorway but a hole.”
This time may show what justice is.
