Chapter 268 Episode 218: Truth Buried in the Dark
Two weeks after Vandaloo opened the stall, in the morning the commercial guild submaster Josef was so somber that his wrinkles in his office doubled.
"Nuu, that cheeky fucking kid ...!"
His roaring and cursing subject was, of course, Vandaloo.
"I don't care because he kicked my proposal and started doing boring business. I told him I thought it would be good for him.
Josef's suggestion of contact with the Arda Reconciliation Party to Vandaloo, the second known dampel in the election kingdom. It was for the purpose of gaining a connection with the main character of the Arda Reconciliation, which is becoming mainstream in the Duke of Al Krem, especially the Five Colored Blade.
Certainly, it is an attempt to benefit Vandaloo as a result. It's only a hindrance to the person who can protect the Arda Reconciliation and gain the backing of S-class adventurers. But since Joseph never knew his situation, he would have no choice without noticing it.
But there was no word in the head of Joseph at the time that he proposed to Vandalu for the purpose of Vandalu. They simply forge their own memories to justify themselves.
T ra nsl at ed by jp m t l.coｍ Joseph, unaware of that, held his mouth with one hand to withstand being so annoyed about to shout. He's an Earl, but his submaster's office is smaller than the guildmaster's room in terms of size, luxury, and soundproofing.
(And no matter how much I educate, I'm not going to apologize, I'm going against it!)
Joseph's education is the harassment he is doing against Vandaloo. However, rather than figurative or ironic, Joseph thought seriously of education.
It's an education to teach saucy oysters the rigor of the world and the importance of listening to the superiors. It has come repeatedly to young people who can't hold their nose.
But Vandaluu does not reflect on him and apologizes to Joseph and asks him to accept the proposal. Do not even lean on the commercial guild after completing the temporary registration.
The stall business, which should be obstructing, not only hunts and obtains ingredients on its own, but recently it uses other technologies to process goblin and Kobold meat for edible use and other stalls under its umbrella I put it in.
Furthermore, if you think that you have strayed stray dogs or giant rats, they have been raised as ranks and are attracting attention from the Tamer Guild as newcomers.
It is unconfirmed information, but it seems that the monster was upgraded to a new species yesterday. It is rumored that the guildmaster Bachem traveled to the city to work with the guild headquarters to enclose Vandalu with the Tamer Guild. T r ans la te d b y ｊp m t l.c o ｍ
(But it doesn't matter about the Tamer Guild. The problem is goblin meat!)
Since ancient times ... it was countless sorcerers, alchemists, noblemen, adventurers, and chefs of the noblemen who wanted to feed on the smell and taste of goblin meat since the time the hero god Bellwood lived. Have tried.
And they've had countless setbacks. Several processing and cooking methods have been discovered in history, all of which have been too costly and impractical. If you need a lot of trouble and a lot of seasonings and spices to make goblin meat taste less bad, you can't use it for food crisis and poor people.
(However, Vandaloo knew how to eat the goblin meat. It seems like Ghoul's wisdom ... how did he hear it? Did he try to get it? Or the dark elf village where his mother was I don't care about that, it's the business of filthy poor people, but if you can get the technology, you can squeeze money from the nobles who are bothering you about food problems! … That mother and child! Are they really going to do business !?)
Vandalou has continued to make money, succumbing to Joseph's harassment and showing no opportunity for the Aggers who gave him the money. In addition, Darussia has been completely treated as a saint by having an angel descend at the communal temple.
The friendship between the town dwellers continues to grow. It's all about calling Vandalu a "stall king", a "genius tamer", and even calling Darussia a "saint".
On the contrary, Joseph is in his own position.
In a slum, a gathering of the poor, Joseph was willing to care. However, the fact that Darussia is treated as a saint has given a bad impression not only from the slums but from the whole town.
And if the negative image spreads in the trading city of Moxie, it may be notorious for other duchess, given the reputation of the vanderers and the surrounding towns and villages from peddlers and travelers.
This will be a bad thing when the guild master returns.
(According to recent rumors, Aggar, who called me a dark elf and harassed me at the stomach shaken by her, was called a skeptic!) No, it's a useless guy!)
Joseph did not trust Aggar much. After all, he was just a bad guard, and thought he couldn't expect more than the first rough search he had failed.
Still, I was watching if there was something strange ... but it was like the tide.
"... I can't help but this is the last resort. Let's apologize."
So Joseph decided. Tr an s l ate d b y Ｊpmt l.c oｍ
He apologized for kneeling down on the ground for his badness, and had recently been abandoned because Vandaloo couldn't come close.
"I heard that the parents donated to the orphanage to protect those who had lost their limbs. It must have been a good story to help with the missionary mission, or else it would be a bit of a favor.
If I kneel down and apologize before the crowd, I will accept it. It may be more effective to apologize to Vida's doctrine. ''
Until there is something else, just be quiet and work as a submaster. Then, when he finds a chance, he sends useful information such as "I'm sorry for the apology at that time."
If you repeat that, your current hostility should be Yuya Muya.
"Okay, now I'm done ... right now ... no, I've placed his stall in the back alley of the red-light district. Let's say we're going to apologize in the evening of the crowds."
Josef then began thinking of words in his head apologizing to Vandalu and Darussia, but the door to the office was knocked at a time that would disturb it.
"……Get in"
Joseph, wondering if the staff had brought the documents, said so without glanced at the door.
However, when he realized that he opened the door and came in not by a staff member but by an armed guard, he curled his eyes.
"What, what are you ?! What is it for me?"
"Joseph, the subguild master of the Commercial Guild Maoxy Branch. He is taken away for the embezzlement of Aggressor and several guards who have fled and the alleged abduction!"
The guards rush further to Joseph.
"Wow, take me !? I'm embezzling, it's a kidnapping !? What is it?"
T r a n s la t e d by jp ｍtl .c om Josef was confused and upset when he was accused of not remembering. He certainly gave Agger money and asked him and several of his associates to search for Vandaloo's gross and find any trivial thing as an excuse to hinder the stall operations. But that's it.
Whether Aggar embezzles guards' money or confiscated goods or plots for abduction, he has nothing to do with Joseph. I haven't asked for it, and I don't even know that I'm sorry.
"Where is such evidence !? If you want to take me, show me the evidence first, give me the evidence!"
The confusion and dismay turned into anger, and Joseph rose from his chair and shouted at the guard.
"Shut up! Resistance is good for you!"
The guards, however, show no evidence of Joseph's request and surround him, forcing him to squeeze and bind.
"Who are you ?! Who do you think I am !? Pow, I am the guild submaster and the uncle of Earl Isaac Moxy who serves you !?" hand--"
The guards, however, do not meet and forcibly take Joseph out of his office. This is because securing Joseph's identity is a direct order of the Count of Isaac Moxy who they serve.
Isaac was skeptical of the spy's strange reports ... Aggers, who had supposedly entered through the back door of the orphanage, were enthusiastic about the fact that all traces had disappeared. I did, but after that Aggers were missing. I guessed that somebody had abducted them somewhere by some means and had killed the corpse somewhere.
And I intuitively knew that somebody was Vandaluo or one of those involved. There is no basis and no evidence. The only technique used was an imagination of less than anybody's guess that sophisticated magic was used. To sum up, it's a criticism and riot that "every strange thing is related to him."
But I don't see any other reason why Aggers disappear at that time.
Therefore, Isaac decided to secure and punish Joseph himself, who would be the target of Aggar.
He had to borrow from a commercial guild to sacrifice his uncle to show them that he was not an enemy.
"This is an act that violates the guild's rights! Do you think the guild is silent as it is !?, I am innocent, this must be a trap of someone trying to degrade me, Please believe me! "
No one was competing with Joseph's suit being taken out of a commercial guild building.
Tr an s la t ed b y jp ｍ t l .co m On the morning of the next day when Vandaloo became [Museum], when Joseph was taken away. Simon, who had joined to train, was soaring at a glance.
"Teacher, ask me! In fact ... I got blessing."
And so, she whispered to Vandalus.
"……I see"
"Hey, huh ..."
"Oh, don't you believe in both the teacher and Natania !?-Really, when you get up in the morning, you hear" I got blessing. "
Simon said so happily, Natania and Vandalu did not know what to return.
It's not an air that can say, "I have it," or "I gave that blessing."
"So what kind of blessing are you from?"
However, when asked, Simon grinned and scratched her head.
"That's what you see in the status. What's wrong? The name of the god who gave me blessing was concealed. I only knew that the last letter in six letters was a stretch."
Apparently, in Simon's status, blessing is displayed as [Pee Blessing]. Therefore, he did not seem to notice that it was the blessing he had given to Vandalu.
"Maybe it's a sword or a subordinate of Vida involved in battle. Actually, Master, I had a mysterious dream yesterday. Someone touched my back with warm hands while training and looked back, It was a dream that I got it ... and when I woke up, I was receiving blessing.
Speaking of sleep, the market price of Arda's subordinate god 'Sleeping Goddess' Mill is fixed, but it was not something like that.
Simon talks about her dream and asks, "Do you know the master, God who is the dependent god of Vida, who controls dreams and swords?"
"... No, I don't know about Vida's subordinate god who controls dreams and swords with six-letter names."
Vandalu has no choice but to answer. It's hard to tell the truth in his dream that he touched his back with his tongue hanging down from his mouth instead of his hand, or that he received a spilled horn instead of a sword.
"Is that so ... then, why don't you just ask him at the communal temple ... oh, it seems good to go to the library for the first time in over a dozen years and look it up."
"... Aon"
"Wow ..."
Fang sighs why she doesn't notice Simon, and Marol and her three sisters drop their shoulders to look at the disappointment.
"It's bad, I can't tell you which God bless you."
Of course, the meaning of the Fangs was not transmitted to Simon, and he seemed to have been interpreted as regrettable that he could not know the name of the blessed God.
"Is there something like this? I guess it's because of my disbelief .... I can't even think of it with six letters and the name of the god of sound that lasts out."
Simon drops her shoulder from the brightness up to now. Vandalou was at a loss to tell him, "Don't worry, it's that kind of specification."
"But, well, I'm expecting me to be blessed! I'm sure I'll be able to understand God's name if I try my best to train my teacher and start over again Hey!
Let's go for training! "
However, when he was fine again he walked towards the gate. After that, Fang and Marols seemed to say, "I'm a helpless junior" or "Well, I'll be shy."
"... It's something you don't notice more than you think."
"I think there is a relationship between the letters displayed first, but usually I don't notice, Master."
Natania, who is carrying him, whispered to Vandalou's muttering.
For Lambdas, blessing comes from the gods. Originally, status is important personal information, but it is a special unique skill that makes you confident and intimate when you get it.
In addition to the specific effects, such as the ease of difficulty beyond the barriers of growth, it will stimulate the sense of superiority that the gods are recognized and chosen.
I don't seem to dream that such blessing was given by the teacher.
"I didn't think that I was the teacher who appeared in my dream ... "
Natania's dream was that he was a friend and thought that he was a deceiver by the Blade of Fire, and that he was attacked by Minotaur. It was a nightmare I've seen many times, but a giant black foot came down on the way.
His feet crushed the Minotaur and kicked them out of the Blade of Fire. Natania, who had fallen to the ground and looked up at the sky, saw a strange giant looking into herself.
The giant carefully picked her up with his bony hands and wrapped it in warm liquid. The liquid ... red blood went into Natania, and the blood became part of her.
When she woke up from her dream, she was under the protection of Vandaloo, as was Simon. By the way, Juliana was similarly blessed, and it took some time before she calmed down and cried.
"By the way, I'm glad I got the blessing ... but is the blessing of the teacher related to training? Isn't that such a strange effect as tongue stretching?"
"Hmm ... maybe it's okay? Well, maybe if you want to stretch your tongue, you might be able to stretch it."
Vandalu gives an unreliable answer to anxious Natania. However, she and Simon acquired the [Spirit] skill brilliantly during the training that day.
"Uoooooo !? Arms move !! By your own will, this iron prosthesis moves as you wish, Master!"
"I and I can walk! I still wander a bit!"
With Simon's prosthetic arm occupied by his spirit, he moved his way. Similarly, Natania is awkward with two prostheses, but stands up and walks.
Seeing the situation, Vandaloo celebrated them with clapping their hands.
"Congratulations, this concludes the first phase of training. Natana has a lot of moving parts and needs more practice, but in a few days you will be able to move the prosthesis like a real limb."
Simon and Natania were in tears at the words.
"Now, let's go to the second stage. We will alternate between fighting with me and self-practice."
"Yes, Master!"
So he responded so cheerfully with his chest screaming.
By the time he returned to town shortly after noon, Simon was carried by Fang and Natania was carried by Vandaloo.
"She was a very strong teacher ..."
"I was just a type practice, but ... is it okay tomorrow?"
Exhausted, they were surprised to realize the difference in ability as a result of the mock battle with Vandaloo.
Simon thought Vandaloo wasn't alone, and Nathana, who was listening, knew he had more than Class A abilities.
However, it seems different to imagine and experience.
"What can you do more than anything else?Make a spiritual body materialize or throw it into pieces ..."
"In addition, it's a shame that the spirit moves even after throwing it away. What's going on, the teacher's spirit?"
But Vandaloo is not only stronger than they had imagined, but also seems to have used his spirits farther away from humans.
"It's easier to improve your skills if you train with a peer or a superior opponent. I'm a new fighting style, so it may have been too much."
Vandaloo used no magic or weapons and trained them primarily using spirits. I thought it would be better to compete with the same skills that they wanted to improve.
"In addition, both of them are like me when I have acquired [spirit] skills and used them in actual battles. From the point of view of ordinary people, they are out of the ordinary."
The words of Vandaloo are half correct and half incorrect.
Forcibly changing the shape of the psychic will have a corresponding effect on the psyche, causing the worst to go mad. The reason that it does not happen to Simon and Natania, whose spirits have been pushed out of the body, is that they have only returned to their five-satisfied form, not deviated from human form That's why.
On the other hand, Vandaloo has long gone beyond the stage of how to deviate from the human form. It can only be described as a slime without a shape.
So they and Vandaloo are similar, but their stages are very different. …… he both ultimately wants to raise it to the same stage as himself.
"In addition, if you gain [Incarnate] and [Remote Control] skills and raise your level, and increase your magical power to maintain the spirit, you can do the same for them."
For this purpose, you can show and experience what you can do with the spirit body in a mock battle like today. And make them think they can do the same.
The spirit body, unlike the body, is completely in the power of imagination and will. There is a limit, but if you think you can, you can really do it.
"Sure ... I'm lucky just to return to a fighting body, but in any case I would like to aim for a C-class ... or no B-class!"
"I too. I'm not sure if I can fight back just to be able to return. Yuri ... I'll leave it in Yulia."
"Yeah, that's what I mean."
Vandalu nodded happily and brought him back to the gate, as they set their goals with their sweaty faces.
"Return, today's training seems to be tough."
Kest was on his own at the gate.
Those who knew that Vanderlu had taken Simon with one arm out today and Nathana without limbs outside today thought strange. What are you doing outside?
However, many were convinced that he was training them as a tamer, as Vandalou and Simon replied that they were training. …… Vandaloo, famous for the city of Moxy, is not a magician, but only known as a stall owner and tamer.
Many Tamer adventurers have entrusted the battle to the demon that aimed it, and thought that it would help them survive in one-armed Simon or even in limbs without limbs.
The two tired people have their prostheses removed and carried by Fang and Vandaloo, respectively, so their misunderstandings will only be resolved tomorrow.
"Yes. By the way, even if it's noon how many people come and go, it's unwise to have only one person?"
"Agger, are you going to skip again?"
"No, that's a bit of a shortage of staff today. Um ... I'm told not to talk much, but Vandaloo is also a related person."
When asked why there was only one person at the gate, Kest seemed confused at first, but decided to speak after thinking for a while.
"Actually, Agger ..... I found out that Aggar and the other four guards were improperly dyed. Apparently he was trying to reach out to human trafficking and tried to kidnap an orphan in an orphanage. ''
"What is it?"
"Speaking of that, yesterday the area around the orphanage was strangely noisy, but it was like that ...!"
"Vandaloo, don't pretend to be surprised, because I know you're in orphanage."
Kest imitates Vandaloo, but shakes his head with a bitter smile. I guess she probably heard from the sisters and orphans.
"Fortunately, the abduction was unsuccessful because the Aggars had a sister over the fence and were surprised to see her scream and ran away.
But kidnapping is a felony, even if attempted. It's hard to tell everyone in the town how the guards do it. It's been a thorough investigation, and a lot of people have been kicked out this morning. ''
"That's why it's dangerous to have only one person at the gate. In that way, aren't they still caught? If you're trying to escape from town, how do you stop it?"
"That's ok. I'm the only one who looks into the city, but there's a check inside the gate to look for people trying to get out of the city."
"Uh, I'm glad I left town early in the morning, Master."
"I agree"
The effects of treating the Aggars themselves were more important than expected, and Vandaloo was a little confused.
Probably the command of the Earl and his neighbors, he seemed to have arranged for the spies witnessed by Sister Celis to be the Aggers who hid their masks. … How far do they know the truth?
(Wait just before you try to reach out, ask the Gufadogans to enter the orphanage and ask them to get rid of it ... a few seconds later the spy comes to catch him. Or)
Vandalou thought that he would not take any action if the lord would dispose of it.
(Is there a difference in perception of children and sisters in the orphanage? I thought not to scare everyone, but the lord side was different .... I know there are various circumstances, but I understand that It would be slightly unpleasant if you do)
While Vendaloo thought so, the story of Kest was largely over.
"But be careful, Aggers haven't been caught yet, because they don't have to grudge and try to do something wrong.
Tell your mother to be especially careful. ''
The Agger is now wandering through the labyrinth of Gufadogan without exits, but Kest, who doesn't know it, seems to be worried that he is hiding in the town and trying to do something wrong with the Vandaloos.
"I understand, be careful."
I couldn't deny that, so while feeling guilty, Vandaloo nodded. …… I think that it may be better to find Agger's corpse alone among the guards caught.
By the way, throughout the story, Natania, who knew the truth, was acting on her back on Vandalu so that Kest would not seem suspicious.
After entering the town and returning home, Vandaloo received an invitation to a private tea ceremony from the lord's angel.
"Vandaloo has won two names: [Stall King] and [Genius Tamer]!
