Chapter 366 – Troll Song

Troll.

I don’t know the details, but according to my common sense, he belongs to a fairly strong monster. He said It’s probably a rather large monster, and it seems that there was a thing that sometimes attacked the mind or preyed on travelers.

It’s a monster I’ve never seen before, and all I know about it is something I’ve picked up somewhere, or read a little what it’s written in a book from time to time.

“Troll? Isn’t that a fucking monster?”
“Have you never seen a bastard?”
“If I had seen it, I would have followed it.”

Specifically, the white bones would have become clay.

It is said that the existence of Kimkat was completely disintegrated and became the food of another world. I don’t know if it’s now, but in the past, I wasn’t the Heavenly Demon, I was just a kid sniffing cock rice.

“Cook cook. I guess so.”

Still, considering that Winia has been looking for a job to catch trolls, it seems that it belongs to a monster that can be defeated by a C-class wizard.

When I expressed such a question, Winia started to explain.

“It’s not as monstrous as a bastard thinks. It’s just a bit stronger than a cockatrice? When it usually appears, ask C-class adventurers to subdue it. I’ve caught it a few times.”
“Yes? How are you?”
“Just burn it with fire and stab it with a knife to find it.”
“I can’t imagine.”
“You saw Cockatrice last time.”
“Hmm…”

As far as I remember, the cockatrice I caught last time was quite strong.

Still, if the current me rises 1:1… I honestly don’t know, but I don’t think I’ll fall behind. If I can aim for the head with a mounting slash, I think I can finish it off.

Anyway, since it’s a request from Winia, a skilled wizard and veteran adventurer, I think it’ll be okay. There is no problem with the experience of catching it.

“Still, tell me exactly what kind of guy he is.”
“First of all, he’s tall and big. But his waist is bent, so his actual size is about one head taller than a bastard? It’s like a dark green giant that looks a bit ugly, or a monster that eats people. It’s nimble , but it’s timid.”

An image of a troll was drawn in my head.

The monster, with its inhuman stoop, was still a head taller than me, its rugged hide a filthy dark-green color, with heavy fat and ferocious muscle entwined beneath it.

A cannibal lurking in the dark.

Just by looking at it, he must be stronger than an orc.

“How does it compare to an ogre?”
“Bastard, can you compare? Trolls are just ogre snacks.”

Ogre was the most powerful hyper chew of the beings I saw. I don’t know how to compare it with that, but if you listen to Winia’s evaluation, I don’t think there’s much of a problem.

“Yes. But what are you doing today?”

I asked Winia, who went to wash up.

“I came after doing something requested from the Mage Tower. I got the troll gun from the Adventurer’s Guild on the way there. Oh, since I have to leave early tomorrow morning, should I go to bed early?”
“Okay.”

When Grywinia entered, Claudy tried to undress her as well, as if she had finished packing.

“What did you buy like that?”
“Huh? This? I bought some things I needed while I was out.”

Looking at it, I bought daily necessities and clothes. I asked while tidying up.

“Cloudy. Have you ever seen a troll?”
“No? I’ve never heard of that name before?”

It seems that there were no similar monsters in the desert.

Cloudy seemed to feel better about going to catch a monster he had never seen before. It’s like a professional headhunter like this. She went to wash up too, and I lay in bed, waiting for them, imagining trolls.

It’s a troll

*  *  *

The next morning.

After preparing for the campaign, we went to the adventurer’s guild, registered for the party, and came out to the gate.

A wagon was already waiting. The adventurer’s guild personally arranged for them to go to the village where the trolls appeared.

After all, it is Winia, a C-class adventurer.

The fact that this is a wizard means that the job itself is reliable and the identity is also guaranteed. Unlike the adventurer’s guild’s adventurer’s card where the screws are missing, the wizard’s ID issued by the Mage Tower is highly reliable enough to play its role anywhere.

For example, as a D-class adventurer, my status is absolutely guaranteed in Isvant, but it doesn’t work if I go to another city. Of course, in neighboring cities like Krasheim, where there is a lot of exchange, the grade is recognized, but the career is reset.

However, that is also a story of a neighboring city, and of course it becomes meaningless the moment you go to a distant city. Outside of these frontiers, I’m not a D-class adventurer or anything, I’m just a traveler and vagabond.

But wizards are different.

Casting magic itself is proof that you are a wizard, and neither counterfeiting nor deception is possible. So, if the wizard goes to another city, he just goes to the magic tower in that city, pays the fee, and asks to renew his ID his, and that’s it.

And if you take that wizard ID card to an adventurer’s guild in the city, you can easily get a high-level adventurer’s card.

In the case of Winia, there are Isvant and Krasheim’s C-class adventurer cards on the wizard’s ID, so even if you go to a city quite far away from here, just show them and shake your mouth a little, and you will become a C-class adventurer right away.

Some cities do not have an adventurer’s guild, but unexpectedly, this adventurer’s guild is integrated into the culture of another world as a whole. Although it is segmented by city unit, that is.

Well, in that sense. Winia is a great C-class adventurer. Since she received the quest that is exclusive to her her C-class, her transportation expenses her are also supported in this way.

“I’m leaving for the town of Oros, hey!”

ㅡDr.

The coachman shouted vigorously and the carriage started.

It’s a bit shaky, but it’s still better to ride in a carriage than walk. More than anything, I felt lighter because I thought it was free.

“Now, bastard. And sister. I’ll explain about this quest from now on, so listen carefully.”

I listened to her briefing her as I lay on Winia’s lap her. The feeling of her heavy breasts squeezing the head next to me feels quite good.

“Trolls have appeared in Oros, a farming village next to here. The residents seem to have suffered some damage. A total of 6 dead and missing people. In this case, it is safe to say that the missing people have already been eaten.
“Killing six innocent peasants… I will never forgive you.”

It is not a crime to slaughter criminals and heretics, but killing innocents is an extremely heinous crime.

It is safe to say that it was a kind of serial killing of monsters.

“But among them, the person who was about to become the seventh victim luckily escaped and reported that the troll had appeared. So I immediately came to the city adventurer’s guild to request a subjugation, and I finally received it. The request is 20 silver .”
“Oh, that’s expensive.”
“Hmm… The last time I was asked for a Hobgoblin subjugation quest, it was probably 10 silver, right?”

Said Cloudy, who was chewing on the beef jerky.

Come to think of it, the request money he received from subduing a platoon of hobgoblins that occupied the abandoned mine the other day was 10 silver. But one troll is 20 silver… It seems that C-class adventurers are making a little more money.

“Unnie, you have a good memory. But back then, there were no by-products, right? Unlike Hobgoblins, trolls are monsters with a lot of money. Hearts, brains, and bones are expensive. .. Above all, blood is the most expensive.”

Among them, Winia, who boasts the highest level of knowledge, gave an extensive explanation. Originally, the larger the monster, the more things to take care of.

“Blood is the most expensive? Is there anything useful?”

Cloudy showed interest.

Blood is the most expensive, so it’s a rather unusual story.

“You can make a potion by refining the blood of a troll. It’s a bit low-level potion, but it’s a useful item. That’s why trolls have good regenerative power.”

Are trolls good at regeneration?
It is a word that simply cannot be passed over.

“What? Good regenerative power?”
“Aww, there’s so many bastards don’t know.”

As Winia touched my face, she kindly informed me.

“Even if it cuts deep into its flesh, it recovers completely within a few days. Should I say it’s a monster that’s a bit difficult to kill with blood loss?”
“Ah, are you saying that the natural healing power is good?”
“Right.”

I also thought that if I amputate my arm, I will recover on the spot.

Looking at the fact that knife wounds recover in a few days without any treatment, it seems that immunity and natural healing power are several times better than humans.

Is blood its source?

It was the first time I had heard of making potions with troll blood.

Well, it’s only natural that the economic situation wasn’t good enough for me to use potions. Because potions are expensive.

“See that big backpack in the corner over there?”
“Uh.”
“Bastard, go open it.”

I got up and looked through my backpack.

Inside were several leather buckets.

“The bastard just needs to get the troll blood in it. There’s a little bit of medicine in it, so it can keep the blood fresh for a day or two.”
“Understood.”

She listened to the rough explanation and closed her eyes moderately.

It didn’t take long to get to Oros.

We left early in the morning and arrived at the village a little later in the afternoon.

Surrounded by forests and mountains, this rural village seemed peaceful, but in reality it was a hellish place where serial killer trolls roamed. Maybe that’s why, the village looked very gloomy.

“Aww…!”
“Cadet.”

Claudy and Winia got off the carriage and stretched. I also said hello to the coachman while stretching. However, after saying hello, he said that he would also stay in this village today.

But. It’s been a while.

If I went now, I would arrive at dawn, but I wouldn’t go on a dangerous night trip in the yard where trolls are said to come out.

“Kat. Then let’s go.”
“Gren.”

First, you have to go to the village chief’s house. I immediately grabbed a nearby villager and asked where the village chief’s house was.

“Oh, excuse me. Are you a resident of Oros Village?”
“You guys… Ah! You’re adventurers!”
“Yes. I’m here to catch the troll. Can you tell me where the village chief’s house is?”

When asked about the village headman’s house, the villagers eagerly explained how terrifying the trolls were, and that seven people had already died, while their hands and feet trembled.

Has there been one more victim?

Anyway, I’m scared to the point where my mind is wild.

“I understand how scary it is, so stop telling me where the village chief’s house is.”
“Look at my mind. Hey, go all the way there and come out of the biggest house. That’s the chief’s house.”
“Thank you.”

Then he moved towards the village chief’s house.

“Mmm, Winia. How long will it take?”

Cloudy asked Winia.

“Well? I’m thinking about two days. Tracking it down will take some time.”
“I wish I had a place to stay.”
“Me too.”

If it takes two days, it is better to spend one night in the village.

Still, it seems that the size of the village is a little large, so accommodation is not a problem. This is why it’s nice to work near a proper town.

There are many places that don’t even have a restaurant, let alone lodging.

I arrived at the village chief’s house and knocked on the door.

“You guys… Ah! You must be adventurers!”
“Yes. Shall we listen?”
“Come in!”

The inside of the village chief’s house was spacious and comfortable.

As instructed, she sat down in a chair.

“I didn’t expect you to come this early… Thank you so much! We’ve already had one more victim! Please save us!”

The village chief said, almost crying out.

I am completely terrified.

First of all, roughly the place where this person suffered damage and the area where he appeared. And I’m going to ask about the troll’s size… I think I’ll have to calm him down.

“Don’t worry. That’s what I came for.”

Then Winia spoke in a calm tone.

“Ah, wizard!”
“I’d like to meet someone who survived an encounter with a troll. Can you call me?”
“Of course I have to call you. Honey! Call me Jake!”

When he shouted loudly, the lady inside opened the door and went outside. Winia gathered information by asking the village chief about this and that.

“I think it’ll take some time until we track down the trolls. Is there a place to stay?”
“Of course there is, Mage. But I think it’s a bit insignificant for a Mage to stay…”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m here to work, not to play.”
“That’s right. I understand.”

Winia, who spoke coherently, seemed quite intelligent.

After all, he’s a bully to me, not to anyone else. While we were waiting, the village chief’s wife came in with one person.
