How to live as a wanderer

“That's...”

Even the miller couldn't answer that here. It didn't make much sense even when he thought about it.

The miller turns his horse.

“Then why don't you hold the knight off? You could've killed him. ”

I heard a "huff" among the villagers. Killing a nobleman was surprising enough, but it was even more surprising how someone could kill a knight.

“If that happens, I will return the honor to you. ”

Atanka ridicules without cause. He used to be friendly, but in the same situation, he had no enemies.

“What if the knight dies here? Where are the other merchants and mercenaries? ”

“They, too...”

“Oh. Kill all the merchants in the Khettana Parliament, kill the knights... What if someone from the Khettana Parliament comes later, or an investigation from the Khettana Parliament?" ”

“... I trust everyone will keep their secrets safe. ”

“What if the Knight family captures some villagers and interrogates them? Will the secret be kept then? Huh? Are you crazy?? ”

Now the miller's face is red. But Atanka did not stop. Now is the time to step on him.

“Look! What we have here! You stupid bastards! What, are you threatening me? That doesn't make any sense! It's the nobles we're dealing with! Snap out of it! If we don't do something right, we're all gonna die together! ”

Silence and fear spread. Atanka's attitude made the villagers realize.

“What I need to think about right now is not blackmailing them with some stupid vigilante, but how to calm them down. If you want to solve it with your strength, try it! I will never be held responsible. Hey, you. I told you I had to teach him a lesson. I'll call the vigilante. You want to try? ”

“Oh, no. I'm just saying. Come on, Ataka. ”

“You! The mercenaries told me not to. Would you like to try? ”

“Oh no. Chief. I just said it once! What are you doing? Really! ”

The villagers turn their tails. One of the quiet people raises his hand and cautiously asks.

“So what are you going to do? ”

“Hoo... let's hear what the Knight wants. Because that's how the story goes. ”

“What does the knight want? ”

“Could it be money? ”

“Money... there's not much money in town. ”

“If you think about it, we already have Pra and Bourne. Can't that be enough for you? They've had an accident. You can take it from them. ”

“I've known them since they were in trouble. ”

The villagers who used to be complaining chewed on three young people without any reason. The three families had their faces crumpled, but they had to keep their mouths shut.

“The mercenaries didn't do any good either. Said one of them got to him. ”

“That's right. If you speak well of this, they have nothing to say, right? When we're done punishing Pra and Bullhorn...”

Atanka bursts into laughter. Then I opened my mouth.

“From now on.”

“...? ”

“Bullshit. I'll take him when I negotiate with the Knight and make him recite what he says. ”

“...... ”

“Think about it and spit it out. You idiots! I'm the one who has to go to the Knight and negotiate! Stop talking nonsense! What? With the lives of those who have already been captured? Is it your fault the mercenaries seduced you? Do it your way! ”

“Oh, no. I'm sorry, Chief. Sorry!”

After Atanca stared at him really fiercely, the young man quickly shut up. He was a young man who worked a little hard in the vigilante, but he was weak in front of the chief.

“Pra and Bourne will pay for it. Disgruntled? ”

“...... ”

“I agree.”

“I agree. ”

“Yes. These two bastards used to wreck accidents when they weren't helping farming. I might as well be dead right now. ”

The chief maliciously dismembered the two. That's why it was convenient to pass it on. Later, when it sounded like ’the chief didn't protect the villagers’, it was a problem. I liked to create a form that agrees with everyone.

I was fortunate that they were not as bad as usual.

“Silver coins... I don't know how much to pay for them... It's not weird to call them what a knight rides. ”

“Chief, let's hand them over. ”

“...! ”

“!!! ”

Pra, Bullen, and Pell's family harden their faces. The miller, Bullhorn's father, cries out in an angry voice.

“What are you talking about! ”

One of the town's hunters, one of the vigilantes, was a tremendous horse. He had a lot of grudges against the miller who used to grind wheat and cheat.

“The knight can't just cut their throats anyway. Of course you're going to take responsibility. Wouldn't it look better if you offered it here first? We can tie them up and draw a line that says it's their fault. You don't have to spend the money of innocent villagers. ”

Tone's proposition made it appealing to others. Pra, Bourne, and Pell's family are claimed to be rewarded with their own property.

Of course, most of their property is tangible. It was hard to take all the knights, and I couldn't face them, so I was able to share the leftovers with the villagers. If there's even a place like an empty mill...

“... no. ”

“!!! ”

“Uh, why? ”

Atanka said as if to chew. Honestly, I wanted to sell all these bastards and end it.

“It's my job as chief to protect the villagers. These bastards have caused a lot of damage to the town this time, but that's what we have to do to pay them back. I don't know about the two guys who got into trouble, but what will the Lord say when he gives up his family? ”

If some farming furniture is missing, the caretaker will ask what happened, and the caretaker will, of course, hold the chief accountable, not the knight...

Absolutely not! ’

He couldn't be held responsible for those same bastards.

Besides, the three families were well-off farmers in this town. Miuna Gouna were the ones who held hands with Atanca and supported her. Once these things are gone, so is the power of Atanka in the village.

“Y-yeah! I'll make it up to you! Please forgive me once. ”

“I'll make it up to him...”

Those who knew the atmosphere begged, crouching. When it came out like that, the villagers couldn't say anything more. However, it was not an ordinary burden to tell them to keep killing the people who were with them.

Living and growing up in the same village in this world was a much stronger relationship than it seemed.

“So you're going to raise money? ”

“How precious are silver coins... really...? ”

“Can't we just hold them accountable? ”

“Wait. I'll save the silver coins somehow. ”

Atanka rolls his head. Silver Coins were the life of the town. I had to do something about it, but I had to think of something the knight could be satisfied with.

"A town the size of which is roughly 2,000... vigilantes wouldn't be more than 50..."

John was doing the calculations fully armed.

‘Ten? No, I'd be scared and run if I killed five people for sure. If there's a problem, we can break through and escape. A bowman can be a bit of a pain in the ass, but I'll take care of him first. ’

Is the time born and raised in the knight family also influencing the human personality? Even in a dangerous situation, John was preparing to respond calmly without a drop of sweat.

It was the mercenaries who embarrassed him.

“Is that knight not afraid? ”

“Are you a knight for nothing? ”

“No... that knight is unusual. People get nervous before they fight. ”

Knights were usually nervous before they even went into battle. There were knights who drank or beat seeds to relax. I knew it well because it was a car I had fought with a knight.

“Goran.”

“Mr. Khan. ”

“What are you going to do about the rest? ”

“I'm in so much trouble. I should have listened to Mr. Khan. Son of a bitch...”

Goran grits his teeth. I didn't think you'd be in a big accident like this. I regretted that I should have listened to Khan.

“It's not your fault. I didn't know he was gonna do this shit. ”

The mercenaries who woke up heard the news of the blue ceiling power.

Guy Gamson conspired with some townspeople to steal the knight's horse!

The knight captures two young men from the village, takes them to the inn and waits for them. Eldans, their employer, said decisively.

You do realize one of you was in an accident and you're responsible, right?

As a result, I was able to face the villagers with the knights without any special allowance. It was supposed to be done. Two townspeople got doughed up and didn't just walk away.

It's just too bad you don't get a special allowance.

Taking on the villagers wasn't so scary. There were a lot of them, but the villagers wouldn't attack a group of knights and merchants without going crazy. The cause was also this way.

What worries me more is after this matter is over.

Gamson belongs to them first. The knight could not have remained silent.

‘I don't know what to say. ’

It was a fairly experienced experience, but it was the first time I had dealt with a nobleman. What am I supposed to say?

“Rope... untie me. I can't breathe. ”

“Shut up, you thief. ”

Prague groans and a mercenary kicks you hard. Prague screamed when he was hit by a hard leather boot.

He fell on top of a horse and broke his bones. The pain was multiplied by the lack of proper treatment.

“Hey, are you sure you're gonna be okay? The villagers...”

“Uh, what about the villagers? Say that again. I can't hear you.”

“Ahhhh! Shhh! ”

Pra is experiencing with her body what kind of mercenaries they are.

Basically, the mercenaries were rough and dirty. My nerves are sharp because of Gunson's accident, but I get a temper because some hillbilly teases his mouth.

Kicking is basic, and the tip of a scorched torch supports the wound and pours boiling water. The mercenaries were very creative and professional in harassing someone.

When Bullhorn saw him, he was trembling and peeing. He used to be a big man in the village, and his family lived well and supported his shoulders, but he was meaningless in front of the mercenaries now.

“Hoo. This guy's pissed. Hey.”

“? ”

“What are you pretending to be? It's this monster.”

Puck!

“Huff!”

The mercenaries who roughly trampled Prague started to burn. Bullhorn kept his mouth shut, but it didn't matter what happened. Friends of the guy who was in trouble are supposed to take responsibility.
