Chapter 367 – Troll Song

What entered was a short young man who was terrified.

Should I say the impression of a simple-looking murderer? Perhaps it was the shock of facing the troll, he looked left and right from time to time, shook his shoulders, and kept biting his palms.

You’re a completely spoiled kid.

Was the encounter with the troll that shocking?

He looked at us and lowered his head.

“That friend is Jake, the only survivor and the only witness… As you can see, he’s not so good, so I don’t know if he’ll be of any help. He used to be a healthy young man, but after losing his only family member to the trolls, he went completely crazy. Six The fourth victim was his brother.”
“Oops.”

After hearing the village chief’s words, I withdrew what I initially thought was a murderer-like impression. It is not unreasonable for a person to become like that if he has experienced such a thing.

He was just small and shabby.

Cloudy, who was watching him, opened his mouth.

“Hey, have you seen a troll? Can you tell me what it looks like?”
“Extremely, that, that, that… So…”
“Hurry.”

When Cloudy pressed on, he almost chewed up his palm like a dried squid, then grabbed his head her with his penetrating hand and said in a desperate tone.

“A super, green… Gigantic monster… With long ears, long nose, long arms… Enough to drag on the floor… And snatched my brother Jacob!!!! With his long hands his! !!!!!!!!!!”

ㅡkeaaaaa

Suddenly having a seizure, he suddenly screamed like a demon in Hameln tricked by the villagers. I was so scared that I had no choice but to hug Cloudy by the waist and hide behind her.

“I ate it!!!!!!!!!!! I munched my head in one bite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I munched and ran away!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to save my brother!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Hey, you crazy bastard!

I’m not crazy!

“Aaaaa!!! Honey! Calm down Jake!”
“You do it! Because I can’t!”
“Anyway, adventurers! I’ll guide you directly, so let’s go!”

Ignoring Jake, who was still roaring, we came out as if we were running away. The cry of a true madman is fearful that it will appear in my dreams.

“Kat, I think I’ve completely gone mad. The screams aren’t normal?”
“Yeah… I’m so afraid! He’s a lunatic!”
“Is that what a bastard would say?”
“What am I?”

Even when they came out, the gloomy screams were heard endlessly. It feels like the devil is sealed in the village chief’s house.

Personally, I’m most afraid of crazy people.

Control and conversation are impossible, so you don’t know where to jump because you can’t catch up. Usually, a guy like that fights better. Because they don’t know fear and are insensitive to their own losses, they attack like crazy.

“Well, please understand. You’re crazy… Then I’ll guide you now.”
“Please.”

Wiping the cold sweat on his arm, the village chief took the lead, saying he would guide us. The village chief kindly explained this and that throughout the walk.

“Over there, you can stay at the house you see over there. There is a well and toilet in the back. It’s empty, so you can use it as you like. And if you haven’t brought your own food, you can eat at the hall in the center of the town. It costs 1 copper. It’s quite delicious, so I think you can use it at every mealtime.”

While listening to such an explanation, I moved to the scene of the incident.

Outside the village surrounded by wooden fences, rice fields stretched out, and forests and mountains could be seen on the other side. Apparently, the trolls are hiding there.

“This is the scene where Jake’s brother, Jacob, died.”

The destination was a road leading to a rice field.

There are traces of blood splattered on the grass next to it.

“What about the rest?”

He said there were a total of seven victims. With that much clue, it won’t take long to track down the troll.

When I asked, the village chief answered.

“There are six more, but they’re all around here. I’m guessing the trolls are nesting in the woods ahead.”

After hearing that, Winia looked around. Cloudy was squatting and examining the plants with dried blood.

Then, as if she had discovered something, Winia told the village chief.

“The troll’s footprints lead that way. Tell the villagers not to go this way.”
“Ah, I see. But… The rice field is on this side, so I can’t help it.”
“Still, you’ll have to be careful until you subdue the trolls. Trolls who feel threatened may even break into the village.”
“I’ll try my best.”
“Then to the next place.”

Once you’re here, you should check all the raid points.

A place where a body was found smashed while moving according to the guidance of the village chief, and a place where a child was kidnapped. And I looked around where the bloodstains had been.

Even the farmers we encountered along the way begged us to save them. The village had such a gloomy atmosphere.

“You seapearl troll. That’s horrible. How do you treat a human life as a meal?”

After the surroundings with the village chief exploring for a while, it dawned on me that someone was watching us from over there.

ㅡ glance.

“Who is that bastard? Chief. What is that?”
“Where…”
“That way, that way.”

A man with a grotesque appearance.

Even from a distance, something unusual was standing on the other side, staring at us. Winia and Cloudy also confirmed his appearance.

A strange man in rags.

“Ah, it’s Humpbacked Pasper. Poor friend born with a birth defect. He’s a friend who takes care of the village’s dirty work. He’s a bit of an idiot, so he might have been interested in seeing you as strangers. Nervous. Don’t write it.”

He’s taking on the dirty work… I think it’s clear that he’s not doing it on his own, he’s doing it by force.

Well, that has nothing to do with me. Since it was said that he was born with a congenital disability, he had no choice but to do such a thing to survive in the village.

Winia, who was watching the scene, said as if the frog was beaten to death by a stone thrown inadvertently.

“It looks like a troll because of its bent back.”
“Don’t use too harsh words…”

As he said, he was a man with a severely bent back. Is that what a troll feels like? Anyway, I turned my head and looked at the scene again.

Still, it’s a bit ominous… I’ve already met two strange people. It just seems that the town itself is not a good place.

I want to finish work as soon as possible and go home.

“This is the location of the last incident. I hope to catch the troll quickly. The villagers are not alone in their worries.”
Hehe, don’t worry chief. Good news will come soon.”
“I believe. If I don’t have anything else to ask, I’ll be back at this point.”
“Well, go back now. If I have any questions, I’ll come to your house.”

The village chief looked around and quickly returned. So, let’s start exploring in earnest.

A total of seven incident sites were identified.

From what I’ve heard, it seems that trolls all appear in the late afternoon or at night. Jake was the only one who directly confirmed the appearance, but there were screams and cries. And quite a few people said they heard something like the sound of running.

“Hmm, sure, the raid sites are all in the same place. Maybe they’re in that forest too?”

After checking the troll’s footprints, Cloudy said.

“I think so. Footprints leading to the forest over there were found at five sites. It’s not a very smart monster, so you can say it’s over there.”

Having said that, Winia touched her lips as if thinking for a moment.

“But it’s a little strange.”
“What?”
“Usually, it’s rare for trolls to settle near a village like this and eat people in succession. Even though they’re stupid, they have heads, so they tend to run away when they attack people.”

That’s right.

I know that even monsters are afraid of people. The village is the territory of humans, and their territory is somewhere in the mountains over there.

The big monsters know this and live by protecting it in their own way. To be honest, guys who attack villages in earnest are rare.

“Does it have a purpose?”

Cloudy said.

“It’s the purpose… Maybe he’s just a crazy guy. Looking around, there are a lot of strange people in town. Maybe the trolls are also affected by it and become strange.”
“Bastard. Are you going to keep talking bullshit?”
“Sorry.”

In any case, we thoroughly investigated the scene of the incident in that way. The splattered bloodstains indicated that the incident was quite gruesome.

Winia was pretty sure there were trolls in the woods over there. However, she judged that it would be difficult for her to navigate in the forest because she was a little late. At this point she hit the shimai and told her to go back.

Because it was time for the evening sunset.

“Then let’s go back to the inn we were introduced to earlier.”
“Ugh, I don’t know if I can wash it. Did you get all your bastard clothes?”
“What do you look at me for? They say there’s a well, so the two of you wash first. I’ll look after you.”

The village chief said earlier that there is a well, so washing should not be a problem. The inn itself is a little out of the way, so I’m sure no one would come to spy on it.

“Whoops, if Katt protects you, don’t worry.”
“Just trust me.”

When I was about to go back to the inn after the investigation, I saw the hunchback from earlier sitting on the other side holding a bag.

I heard that you do the dirty work, but is it free?

“…”

Watching, she met his eyes her with hers.
Still, I’m here to work, so I need to pay attention.

“Hey! There! If you don’t want to be a troll-bob, go inside!”
“…”
“I don’t know if it can be instant yukhoe bibimbap! I warned you!”

I came to work for no reason, but during that time, a villager died, and then I feel uncomfortable. I have clearly warned you.

“Kat, I think he’s a bit of a weird guy over there.”
“I can see it. The village itself has a bad atmosphere.”
“So what’s up with seven dead people, bastard?”

It gets darker and darker. It wasn’t long before we arrived at our lodging. It is a small cabin-like house.

Opening the door and entering, a lot of fucking dust greeted us.

“Kek kek. Ah, sea pearl dust maggots. This. Winia. Can’t you use wind magic?”
“Can’t use it.”

Why?

“Kat, do you want to tidy up first?”
“Let’s do it.”

Once I took out the lantern and turned on the light, I simply cleaned it up and laid out the blanket I had brought to make a seat. It is also better to move by carriage. That’s why you can bring a lot of luggage.

“Um… But the well’s out in the open. There’s nothing to cover. Bastard, do you have to keep an eye on me? I think it’s going to be very fucked up for anyone other than a bastard to see me naked. “

Winia, who took off her top her as if to wash herself, said.
Of course, only Winia’s naked body can be seen.

“I’m sure you’ll be offended. Kat. Can you protect me?”

Cloudy’s nude is also my own.

“I’ll protect you properly, so don’t worry. If you see a baby, I’ll kill you and bury you.”
“Fufufu, as expected, the cut is reliable.”

After giving me a kiss on the cheek, Cloudy undressed her with Winia. I brought a change of clothes and a towel. Being outdoors is a bit of a hassle, but there is a well, so washing is no problem.

It’s not a lodging, so you can simply pour water on it.

I went outside with them naked.

Fortunately, there were no eyewitnesses.

“Whoa, you went out naked? I’m a bit embarrassed.”
“Oh man. Put up a wall next to the well. That sucks.”

I escorted them to the well while covering them with my body. The two moved as close to me as possible while grumbling with their faces blushing, perhaps because they were embarrassed.

I was going to bring a lantern, but I gave up because I didn’t want to expose it. As he stood in front of the well, two women scooped up water and poured it over himself.

It was already dark, so I couldn’t see any details. It just looks like a black silhouette.

I watched him and slowly stroked the erect object.

“Ah, unnie…! Don’t stick! They told me to just sprinkle water on them. I have to hurry up and go in. What are you doing if someone sees you!”
“But is Katt the only one looking at us?”
“I don’t know, don’t touch it!”

After staring at the silhouettes of the two women in the dark, he handed me a towel. I let them go in first, and I took off my clothes and poured water on them.

It was quite cold as I sprayed water while breathing in the cold wind outside.

Troll, is it quiet tonight? From tomorrow morning, we have to explore the forest in earnest. It would be nice to catch it before there are more victims.

Washed properly and went in.

Since we have to get up early, let’s do it only 10 times.
