episode 314 jace’s company (1)
“emotional wine is strong. even though the emotion that dwells in it is sadness, there is not enough emotion to become addicted to alcohol. that’s why there are still people who are aiming for emotional wine. sometimes, when i said i couldn’t make it, it annoyed the people around me.”
at those words, ray frowned.
“these are bad guys. did that mean that there was nothing good about the old man?”
“...that’s right.”
“huh...”
he shook his head, sighing.
could it be that he had been living with severing ties with people until now?
it is no wonder that loneliness has caused mental illness.
ray asked the old man.
“then, are you saying that there are no acquaintances around you who can come to your house right now?”
old kerven tilted his head and answered the question.
“...yes. but what does that mean?”
“you will find out in a little while.”
as soon as he finished his words, the door was broken down and a group of people rushed in.
he wears a mask and holds a sword in his hand.
no matter how you look at it, it looks like a bandit or an assassin.
the tallest man among them said with a big smile.
“hahahaha! i haven’t seen you for a few days, but my god has become very clear. have you finally made up your mind to go into debt when you see the fire in the brazier?”
the old man hurriedly rose from his seat.
“didn’t i tell you the other day too! emotional wine is a drink that can no longer be made!”
the man grinned and said.
“our master is waiting for the emotional master. if you still haven’t changed your mind, you must be dead. this time it won’t just go away. i have to make wine with my hands, so take one of my legs.”
as the blade approached, threatening with a flashing sword, old kerven involuntarily backed away.
the old man who was making a safe distance pushes ray back.
“come on, dodge! i can’t let you get involved!”
contrary to what he said, his voice trembled slightly, probably because he was scared.
ray, who was examining the situation, took a step forward.
naturally, the bandits’ eyes were drawn to him.
“looking at the young beasts coming to people’s homes, it seems that winter has already come?”
“what else is this bastard?”
“me? i am just a therapist.”
at that, the man frowned.
a therapist is a pretty advanced person.
i don’t have the power i have, but if i kill it, i might get in trouble.
he wanted to avoid being noticed.
the man who glared at ray for a moment spat and pointed to the door.
“two! kid you are lucky i will be especially merciful and forgive you for your rudeness. if you value your life, get out of here.”
ray, who was in charge of orcs and bandits while living in the holy kingdom, raised a grin.
he said while trimming his fingernails with the dagger he took out from his waist.
“you guys are so lucky. even if you choose a day, you choose today. it must have been that heaven really hated you.”
“you don’t know how precious a child’s life is. can’t you see this sword?”
it frightens them by turning their swords around.
ray was dumbfounded.
there was no crazy person in the holy land who dared to show off his sword to him.
even the notorious necromancer did his best in ray’s presence.
it wasn’t even funny to see a bandit who couldn’t even become an aura user, dancing with a sword.
“i am was that old sword the only thing you believed in? i thought i was pulling out a blade for some kind of aura.”
“heh, you stupid bastard. do you know who’s family’s kid is aura blade? as long as you don’t become a sword master...”
the man couldn’t finish his words.
it was because the kid he had been ignoring pulled out an aura that seemed to exceed 2 meters in front of his eyes.
he opened his mouth wide.
“aagh! aura blade! so sword master!”
“heh heh. is this what you wanted?”
you can’t see his face because of the mask, but if you hear his laugh, it must be an extremely sinister expression.
the bandits, who had risen to the fullest so far, lost their spirits.
the man in their center quickly grasped the situation.
‘there is no chance of winning against the sword master. first of all, i also have to relax.’
he tossed bakdo in ray’s face and ran out of the house.
kwaaang-!
after shattering the flying sword, ray immediately kicked the ground.
he ran like an arrow that had left the demonstration, grabbed the man by the back and slammed him to the floor.
when i heard the sound, i could feel that if i was hit, i would never be safe.
the fleeing bandit stopped when he heard two gongs.
there was a cool feeling on the nape of his neck.
“master.”
it was a word he didn’t understand, but the bandit spits out the answer he wants.
“it’s the rich man of de deron village! he must have gone overboard to dare to touch a hero without even knowing the subject! if you ask me to, i will take responsibility and kill half of them and come back!”
even a necromancer who faced demons would not treat them so earnestly.
ray shook his head slowly.
“there is no need for that.”
“please do! i will definitely complete it!”
tears were flowing from his eyes.
looking at the evil teeth, the hatred towards the owner is no joke.
it was a momentum that would bring even the supply and demand of a sword master if he was asked to do so.
after thinking for a moment, ray nodded.
“good night. step on it for sure however, if i hear nonsense in my ears, then i will pull out all of them.”
the bandit nodded vigorously.
he immediately pulled out a half-broken sword and ran somewhere.
that direction is probably the home of the poor man.
when the bandit was completely out of sight, ray spoke to old kerven.
“i’ll be back for a while.”
“where are you going? surely... you’re not going to go to their client, are you?”
“these guys need to dry the seeds. if you leave it alone, it will definitely come again.”
that’s definitely true.
perhaps in a few days, the bandits will come again.
when the old man was unable to answer, ray tapped him on the shoulder.
“are you okay. just adding a few more bandits won’t change anything. don’t worry, go to sleep first.”
as he was about to leave, the old man stopped him.
“wait...”
ray looked at him.
kerven, who hesitated, clenched his fists.
“sure... take care of it.”
it was a voice full of resentment.
it was probably the first time he had the courage.
smile and reply
“i still think so.”
his new form suddenly disappeared like smoke.
* * *
the richest person in deron village could be the top lord of jace’s guild.
although it is not the top rank in the kingdom, the jace merchant, which succeeded in exclusive deals in several villages, is walking on a solid road.
considering that it was only two years since the formation of the top tier, it was a tremendous growth.
as usual, jace, who was enjoying his dinner while fiddling with gold coins, frowned at the escort driver’s report.
“what? a bandit is running amok?”
“yes. i don’t know what’s going on, but he’s running rampant saying that he’ll die if he doesn’t kill the top lord.”
jace was dumbfounded.
at least not a knight, but a bandit trying to kill himself.
besides, he was their client.
it was even reprehensible that he dared to kill the client in reverse.
he waved his hand.
“take care of it right now. they didn’t even know the grace that entrusted them with the request, and they tried to bite the owner. it wasn’t because of this that they were going to be reaped.”
at the command of the upper class, the escort knight knelt down.
“i will scold you severely.”
“just kill them.”
“...too many eyes to kill.”
the opponent is a bandit who has come to kill the merchant.
originally, even if killed, it could be eliminated in self-defense, but there was a concern that the image of the upper ranks would deteriorate.
jace stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking.
“i can’t help it. bring them inside first. we’ll have to deal with him later.”
“all right.”
as the knight disappeared beyond the door, jace continued to build a tower of gold coins.
did you stack dozens of them?
he muttered and laughed.
“hehehe. if you do what they tell you to do, then the giant corps won’t be a problem either.”
he hadn’t thought that anyone in the room would eavesdrop on his mutterings.
