“Here, here are the fifty platinum coins you requested.”

“Confirmation complete, thank you for your hard work.”

The money was not delivered directly by Duke Sahard, but was delivered on his behalf by his daughter.

‘They say nobles fight over useless things.’

They firmly ignored me, as if they did not recognize an unorthodox work as a work.

‘Well, I just need to get the money.’

I felt bad because I felt like I was being ignored, but I had no intention of causing friction with Sahard Gongjak just because of my pride.

He is the lowest of the dukes who are ignored by the emperor, but a duke is a duke.

“Mr. Xi’an, are we going back to the village now?”

“Yes, now I’m done.”

“Thank goodness.”

As if she hadn’t slept properly, she had dark circles under her eyes, making her look tired.

“Ms. Butterfly, you look tired. This time, I will say the words.”

“Oh, then I’ll ask you something.”

“Nyaaaa~ Now I can sleep!”

Perhaps because the sleeping position was not right, he yawned and got on the carriage, curled up like a cat, and fell into a deep sleep.

‘The bed was definitely uncomfortable.’

When it comes to sleeping, the material of the bed is important.

From now on, I should carry a bed in my .

“Master, I will help you.”

Gloria came up to me as I was trying to speak.

It’s strange and pitiful to see her trying to help me even though she’s having a hard time.

“It’s okay. Gloria must be tired too, so rest.”

“…Okay, I understand. I will rest as you wish.”

Gloria, who couldn’t sleep properly because of me, was in a slumped position. She got into the carriage while holding her waist.

Feeling slightly sorry, I drove carefully toward the village.

…

Although people in rural areas basically have a fantasy about the city, there is no place as dirty as the city.

Selling out your comrades for gold, killing your drinking buddy out of pride, and abandoning your children to make a living are commonplace in the city.

Seeing the horrible things that happen every night in the slums, I couldn’t help but feel skeptical about the city.

This was also the reason why Carlson, who had some skill as an adventurer, quit being an adventurer and returned to the village of Rugeron.

If the village of Lugeron was hell, then the city itself was hell for the people.

‘That woman is already in love with the village man. Oh, they’re fighting.’

In a place where such a large group of people gather, adventurers were a profession that fulfilled people’s desires.

There were basic errands and higher level favors, and as the level increased, kidnapping and murder.

In severe cases, he was even asked to commit rape.

And Colin was at the top of those adventurers.

‘Hmm, contrary to what my nephew feared, it seems there are no spies among the refugees.’

Colin, who had been observing the refugees as instructed by Xi’an, turned his gaze to a girl who suddenly caught his eye while drinking.

It was Lina, the purple-haired girl who traveled with the nymphs.

‘That kid is weird.’

Colin has dealt with countless rape victims in the city.

Most of them asked her for revenge, and after getting their revenge, they ended their own lives.

‘Normally it would be painful, but that kid acts like it’s someone else’s problem.’

Colin felt a strange sense of alienation, as if he had become a different person.

“Is it just my imagination?”

Colin, who was thinking while drinking, put down the bottle.

Then he pretended to be drunk and approached Lina stealthily.

Then, he was stopped by a girl who was wandering around nearby.

“Housekeeper, did you drink today too?”

“Yeah, but who are you?”

“Lucy, you’re the maid. I brought you some liquor, did you forget it already?”

“Was it like that?”

Colin tilted his head and answered in a cheeky manner, then immediately ignored Jang Lucy and ran to where Lina was.

To be exact, the nymph next to her was the target.

“ra~bi.”

“Colin, what’s going on?”

“Can you please cast a hangover cure spell on me today too?”

“Colin… I keep saying this, but it’s not magic, it’s a miracle from God. And drinking too much is not good for your health.”

“Hehe, sorry. Just do it this once.”

“Okay, I see.”

Ravi sighed deeply, made a helpless expression, and then performed Sunna’s miracle.

“Wow~I feel refreshed.”

“From now on, drink moderately.”

“Yes~”

Colin, whose drunkenness had subsided, spoke to Lina naturally.

“Hello.”

“Oh, hello.”

“Is this our first time meeting?”

“Yes, who are you, ma’am?”

“This is the dog that guards Egypt.”

“Overview?”

“Yeah, she’s a dog. And a vicious dog at that.”

Lina didn’t know how to react to Colin baring his teeth like a puppy.

“So you too, be careful. The lady is a scary person.”

“Colin, you shouldn’t bully little girls.”

“Just kidding. Just kidding.”

Colin immediately backed away from Ravi’s comment.

If you get the nymph’s glare for no reason, you’ll have a headache in the future.

‘But that girl, the way she looks at the nymph is strange.’

For a moment, Lina’s gaze turned to greed as she watched Ravi perform miracles.

It was such a short moment that Colin was hesitant, but he was doubting her senses.

However, she felt uneasy, but she had no way of explaining it in words.

‘I don’t know anything more than this. My nephew will figure it out.’

Colin, relieved that he had something to report to Sian, went to see Aida.

It was to play with my daughter who was bored because Nabira had been away for the past few weeks.

…

When I arrived in the village, an unexpected guest was waiting for me.

“Cyan, it’s too late!”

“Allie, why are you here?”

The fourth apostle of the Holy Kingdom and the owner of the Tower of Wisdom, he is busier than anyone else and he leisurely visited my village.

“You said you were coming!”

“Oh, that’s right.”

I called Allie to investigate the troll kingdom in the snowy mountains, because I couldn’t handle the legacy there alone.

“But have you gotten over it now? You were shaking when you saw me.”

“Of course not. Because you’re not that person!”

At my question, Allie put her hands on her hips and answered proudly.

“The hostess told me. If you were her, you would have destroyed the world a long time ago.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m glad you got over it.”

Anyway, thanks to Ellie’s visit at an important moment, things went smoothly.

“Allie, do you have a minute?”

“Huh? Weren’t we going straight to Seolsan?”

“There’s something I have to do before that.”

I immediately took the bug that was in Gloria’s head out of .

Allie frowned at the sight of the hideous insect.

“Ugh, what is this?”

“It’s a medium of magic. I just took it out of my head, don’t you know anything?”

“I don’t know, it’s scarier than that! This was in a person’s head?!”

Ellie, frightened by my explanation, carefully touched the bug.

Then, the bug’s color suddenly changed and its body began to swell.

“Why is this happening?”

“I don’t know.”

Ellie, who sensed something strange, immediately created a barrier with her magical powers and wrapped it around the bug.

Then, with a “bang!” sound, the bug caused a small explosion.

Allie let out a thick curse when she saw that sight.

“Fuck, this is a parasitic bomb!”

“Oh, this is the first time I’ve seen you swear at God.”

“Sian, I’m not in the mood to joke around right now. This is a ‘bombshell’ move!”

“Who is the bomber?”

“’Forgotten One’ executives!”

“Huh?”

Why does the name of the ‘Forgotten One’ appear in the head of Gloria, the drone spy?

Something is strange.

“Ally, can you tell me more about him?”

“Spy. His specialty is using brainwashed people to extract information from other forces. ”

“Really? If you listen to the explanation, it seems like there is no other solution.”

“Yeah, as you can see, the nymphs explode when they get close. So we’re trying to prevent information leaks by restricting access, but it’s not easy. ”

He used others to gather information, and while doing so, he destroyed the evidence by making the nymphs explode when they came into contact, taking into account their abilities.

‘In the meantime, he collects enemy information from a safe place.’

Considering the current situation, he was an excellent spy to the point of being annoying.

‘Maybe Gloria was used in that way too?’

Gloria thought of herself as Hadron’s spy, but in reality she was working hard for the ‘Forgotten One’.

When you think about it, she also has a very strange life.

“This guy called ‘Bomb Horse’ seems to have hidden in our village.”

“Really?”

“Can you track it?”

“If it were possible, I would have done it earlier.”

“Ellie, you’re pretty useless.”

“Ugh! How dare you find the hidden apostle! If that were possible, I would be a god!”

“Yes.”

In a world where even the gods are not omnipotent, one should not expect too much from the nymphs, who are the gods’ representatives.

“I don’t want to let it go like this.”

Considering the nature of the guy, he was quite a headache. If you let him go, something unmanageable will happen later.

“Haa… If I knew who that guy was, I could track him down.”

“Parasite?”

“Yeah, when ‘Bombma’ collects information, he puts a part of his soul into another person’s body and shares his consciousness. It’s like a parasite from a folk game. ”

“The description is strange, but anyway, putting a part of the soul in itself seems dangerous, so is there really a need to do that?”

“That’s right, because it’s safer. If only a part of the soul sneaks in, it won’t be caught in the Holy Kingdom’s barrier, and if it’s not caught in front of you when you run away, you can come out safely.”

“How can I find out in advance?”

“If you can’t see the soul with your naked eyes, then there is no such thing.”

“Seeing the soul… Hmm?”

I think I saw a monster with that kind of ability recently.
