The Fake Hero Is Too Strong

Overeating is bad for you – 2

Muwang Ters blinked his eyes as if he did not understand what I was saying for a while.

However, it seems that the accident has returned to normal soon.

“This guy!”

He put his hand on the scabbard.

but couldn’t pull it out.

“calm down.”

Xenia was holding down Jigsi’s sword handle.

cheap

There was a moment of chilling silence.

King Mu was about to draw the sword with strength, and Xenia continued to press the handle with her own strength.

No matter how small it is, it is the energy that has been stolen over the past 20 years.

It would be safe to say that she was already a semi-hero, but Xenia did not shed a single sweat.

In the end, it was King Wu who released his hand from the scabbard first.

“Four years, you are not a mercenary.”

“I do not know.”

“I don’t know where the fluff appeared, but I will remember what happened today. The current rudeness must be accounted for.”

King Mu turned around without saying goodbye to the Viscount and left the room in an instant.

Neryl pursed her lips with a look of interest.

“I am not interested in ignorant sword fights… but King Wu’s momentum was no joke. are you okay?”

“yes. Without you.”

“That’s a very creative answer.”

Xenia ignored Neryl’s twitching eyebrows and glanced at her arm.

Her arms were trembling thinly.

I asked.

“Looks like it was close.”

“yes. I was tired of hearing King Wu’s prestige, but I didn’t expect it to be this big. It’s been a long time since I’ve applied force enough to pull my muscles.”

“……”

“I was quite surprised. Well, I’m not as surprised as you were yesterday.”

Well.

Honestly, it’s even more surprising that I haven’t been able to surpass Xenia on a topic that robs me of energy for 20 years, no matter how small.

No matter how much Xenia is said to be a hero, is this possible?

“……”

wait. perhaps?

My head spins with terrifying speed.

[What. Let’s get to know each other.]

‘Before the return, I remember what King Wu said before he died.’

When his body was disassembled by Neril’s magic and disappeared, he uttered a stinging word like a ghost in the sky with grudge.

– Whoops. As long as you absorb all this power, you guys…!

[A typical villain’s exit line.]

‘I didn’t know what he was talking about at the time. But now I think I know. He didn’t absorb all the power of the gem. The energy stolen from people is not absorbed in King Mu’s body, but in the jewel itself.’

[ok?]

‘lets think. He vomits every morning, and he’s been kinky by swallowing the vomit again. What are you doing to take jewels from your body?’

[……]

‘I don’t think he’s doing that because he likes him. That means you don’t have to do that. It means that the jewel is not entirely lending power to King Wu.’

In other words.

A jewel filled with the energy of Yeongji-min is still sleeping in his stomach.

Do you like it?

I laid my back on the chair relaxedly and said to the lord.

“Sir. I have one request.”

The lord, who had only rolled his eyes, was startled by the situation where he turned like a scarecrow.

It seems that the past decades of being captured by King Mu made him forget his title and lineage.

“Uh, something.”

“Before that, let’s start with this. Half of the quests have been resolved.”

“……What?”

“You mean to find out the cause of lethargy and fix it? I just found out the cause. So it must have been half solved.”

“……”

“The cause is King Ters, who just left the room with great momentum. Because of his tactics, Yeongji-min became lethargic and lazy.”

Yeongju looked at me with eyes like a madman.

Neril asked on behalf of the lord.

“Is there any reason?”

“In his body lies a red gem of unknown origin. Every morning, he vomited up that jewel, absorbing people’s energy, and repeating his daily routine of eating them again. For 20 years.”

“A red jewel? Absorb energy?”

“So the people of this estate had no choice but to start their day in the worst condition every day. In other words, if King Mu is dealt with, everyone will be in good health.”

Xenia’s expression turned into a question of what kind of confidence I was talking about.

But Neryl took another point.

“A red gem that absorbs energy. I think I know what it is.”

“What? What?”

“It’s okay to say it now. I’ll tell you later when we’re alone.”

Xenia responds to the words that we are alone.

“Why am I taking it out?”

“Why should I put you in instead?”

“This manor’s lethargy is clearly an anomaly. I have no choice but to investigate such things from that… position.”

The words of the deputy commander of the Knights of Light, who manage and monitor all anomalies in the Empire, were persuasive.

Of course, Neryl didn’t seem to hear even with his ears, but I had a different opinion.

“Let’s add Xenia too. Neryl.”

“what?”

“I think I will have to borrow Xenia’s power now.”

I spoke up there and looked at the lord.

“ruler. As you have heard.”

“What do you mean by what you heard? I didn’t understand a single word of you!”

“I will deal with King Mu and restore health to the estate. There is something the Lord will do for him.”

“Hey.”

“Open a duel. The arena between me and King Ters.”

The feudal lord shuts his mouth tight.

Neril and Xenia looked at me with bewildered expressions.

“…do you know what you mean now?”

“yes. By the way, it will be easy to convince the King of Wu. He seemed quite angry with our group.”

“Yeah, so he won’t look at you. Not a duel, but a murder.”

“It’s okay because I’m going to live in heaven until I’m 100 years old.”

“under. It seems that the name “Sword of Fire” was derived from the tongue. Do you really think a mercenary baboon like you can defeat the tenth most powerful man in the Empire?”

“yes.”

The lord’s expression became more serious at my brief reply.

I tilted my head and continued.

“I will say one more thing to Kim, who has been so rude anyway. It seems that the lord is quite afraid of King Mu. Did I see it right?”

“……”

“Even if King Mu is said to be one of the most powerful people in the empire, isn’t the owner of Rioor’s territory the lord? But it seems to me that he has already entrusted King Mu to the affairs of the Youngji.”

“Whoa. Can not help it. Anyway, the family line was cut off from my generation.”

huh?

I didn’t ask any more, but the lord continued speaking as if complaining.

It was as if he was saying something he hadn’t said to anyone for a long time.

“My only son passed away seven years ago. All the people in this estate are lazy and lethargic, but as much as he was, he was healthy.”

“……Have you not seen new descendants?”

“He died and everything bothered me. It must have been rational to do so, but my mind and body did not move at all.”

“……”

“My son had been deeply loved and trusted by all the young people. If that guy was still alive, even King Wu wouldn’t be as rampant as he is now… Hmmm.”

Youngjoo thought he was talking too much, so he shut his mouth with an awkward cough.

I crossed my arms and thought for a moment.

After some silence, I said.

“Well sir. We will investigate this as well.”

“what?”

“Anyway, please go back and gather all the permanent residents for the duel I mentioned earlier. You are holding the biggest duel in the history of the territory.”

“Ugh. What are you doing so…”

“It’s a golden opportunity to raise my reputation.”

Neryl was the only one who understood what I was saying.

She said with her eyes shining.

“Surely it is. If a single mercenary can defeat King Wu, the work in the Quank Territory will become shabby.”

Then Xenia takes turns looking at me and Neryl.

“Work at Quink? Fame? Now I know.”

“……”

“After all, you didn’t do it to establish justice or do good deeds. It was just a groundwork to increase his reputation. Am I wrong?”

Neryl replies cynically.

“right. And I don’t really want to hide it, so there’s no need to push it like an interrogation.”

“profit.”

I raised my hand and calmed Xenia.

and said to the lord.

“When do you plan to open the duel?”

“I haven’t said yes yet.”

“Then do it now.”

“You bastard! Arrogance pierces the sky. from a humble commoner. You don’t know who’s sitting in front of you!”

I glanced at Xenia with a sigh.

“Miss Xenia. Show me that.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a badge that proves your identity.”

“……! Why do I have to do that?”

“You don’t want to see it? My duel with Wu?”

“……”

“You wouldn’t have accurately gauged my skills two days ago. If King Wu is your opponent, you will be able to appreciate it slowly.”

Xenia’s eyes twinkle.

As I recalled the memories before returning, I decided to give her one more light push on the back.

“I’ll buy you a meal.”

“…I tell you, I didn’t fall for the rice.”

Xenia put her hand in her arms.

Youngjoo was still in a state of extreme excitement.

“I’ll tear you apart right now and feed the dogs…”

Dang.

As if tossing, Xenia put the certification plate down on the table.

It symbolizes the deputy commander of the Knights Templar of Light.

For the moment of investigation, the certificate itself symbolizes the emperor.

The lord’s voice suddenly decreased.

Neryl chuckled.

“Would you mind feeding the dog? with that.”

“What did I say?”

It was a quick change of attitude.

Because he has that kind of ability, he’s probably still playing the role of lord even next to King Wu.

Young-joo said that he would hold a duel in a week.

In the meantime, we stayed at the inn and shared a strong time getting to know each other.

“Maid, it seems that the lord has done his best by showing the proof plate. Why not just send it back?”

“That’s good. When you go, go with me. witch. The destination is the capital dungeon.”

“Did you get permission from your father?”

“Why is the manager out there!”

“Don’t scream. My ears hurt.”

The person who hurts the most here is me.

I mediate the two.

“Let’s do that. We need to get back to the basics.”

“Main subject?”

“uh. Zenia-san, I plan to become a hero.”

At my remark, Neryl and Xenia blinked friendly.

after a while.

Neryl, who was the first to come to his senses thanks to his old age, exclaimed.

“Are you crazy? Why are you hiding that?”

“I want to get Zenia-san too.”

“No, so why…”

“Of course, I crave his skills, but most of all, he is the one who uses Agril.”

Neryl, who was very excited, kept her mouth shut at my words.

“If it’s Agril.”

“uh. A treasure given to mankind by the gods during the advent of the demon king of greed. Commonly known as Agrill, the carriage of the gods.”

“…I wondered why you suddenly threw your dagger into the air. It was like that.”

Neryl was instantly convinced.

If there is Agril that can travel the continent in ten days, and if Xenia can convince Agril to pick us up.

It will be of indescribable help to my heroic journey.

Neryl and Xenia raised their voices as if they were touching the baton.

“You are a warrior. Am I right?”

“yes. Sooner or later, the Demon King will descend on the continent.”

I explained the situation as quickly as I did to Neryl.

Xenia’s reaction was not much different from that of Neril.

If there is one other thing.

“…So, the real hero has already come from the southwest?”

“you’re right.”

“Kaled Wake. I’ve heard of it.”

what.
