Chapter 454 – Kim Katt and the Haunted House

First of all, he calmed down the frightened Copson.

I can’t have a daughter like this. In order for me to have a daughter like this, I would have had to have one in middle school. What a fucking story

In the first place, it had only been about four years since I came to this world.

Even if you made a child as soon as you arrived, unless you are a crazy genetic engineering child, there is already no cleanup like this in 4 years. She said that if a child grew up this way in four years, it would be a demon, not a child. Lina is by no means a demon.

“She must have been so surprised that she misunderstood. Yes, there’s no way a barbarian could have a daughter like that. Her hair her is black, so I misunderstood her. Yes, she seems more like her sister her. “
“Similar. Half my sister.”
“Is she from the same tribe?”
“She is a raw man.”

As I was explaining Lina to Grie Copson, she stood awkwardly and lingered, and she stood behind me.

I needed a porter, and it worked.

Let’s ask Rina.

“Lina. Are you free today?”
“Yes, yes? Are you busy? I don’t have a job right now…”

When I asked, Lina answered in a crawling voice.

You look better in your clothes, but do you still lack confidence?

In the adventurer industry, if you show that kind of look, all sorts of guys will be seduced. That’s why it’s bluffing. Adventurers and bravado were inextricably linked.

“If not, would you like to go with me? I’m going to work now, so I need a porter.”
“With your brother?”
“It will take a few days. I’ll give you 5 coppers per day. If you do, I’ll pay you in advance today.”
“Yes, yes! It’s okay! Thanks, brother!”

When she brought up the topic of her money her, Lina, whose complexion brightened, responded with a broad smile. Also, children should live with a smile.

Fortunately, Lina is now in a somewhat free state.

I’d rather be Lina than a first-time F-class adventurer with no credit or anything. Most of the original F-class adventurers are scoundrels and human trash. I can’t work with people like that for days.

On the other hand, Lina’s ability and trust her have already been proven by risking her life her to steal a cultist’s artifact. Rina said she can be trusted.

“Wait a minute. First, ask your friends.”

I immediately told the story to Copson and Meria.

“He’s someone I’ve worked with a few times. He’s trustworthy. If you take her as a porter, there’s no other girl like her. She listens well.”
“Aren’t you still quite young? I don’t know if I can use my power.”
“Even though she lacks strength, she has trust. But she’s from a barbarian tribe, so she has some stamina and strength. She She’s already worked with me a few times. Was fine every time.”
“Hmm, trust is there… If the barbarian says that much, then he it must be trustworthy. Since he’s a savage, he’ll have good stamina. Let’s do that.”

Copson was convincing.

First of all, the savages in this kid’s mind are stuck with being good at doing their best, regardless of whether they are children or adults.

“Hello, little girl. I’m Meria.”
“My, my name is Lina.”
“You know Katt?”
“Yes. He helped me a few times. He also used me as a porter…”
“I see.”

Meria bent over and greeted Lina. She chatted for a while, then Meria raised her head and spoke to me.

“I don’t mind as long as I can carry my luggage well. Shall we start then?”
“Okay, let’s go now.”

I went straight to the window and registered for the party up to Lina. She said that there are no wanted F-class adventurers yet, so she started including Lina right away.

This is the formation of a party of four.

“Copson. Meria. Do you have anything to buy before we leave? Let’s fill it up before we go.”
“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to buy some more food first.”
“Do you need some oil?”

After checking the goods, there were a few more items that I thought I would need, so I went to the general store. Buying just what she needed, Lina used her advances her to buy her food her.

After she had completed her preparations, she set off in earnest.

“Brother, please put your luggage in my backpack.”
“OK.”

She put some items into Lina’s backpack her.

In this way, having a porter makes marching a little easier. When you leave, you can leave these necessary items, and when you return, you can leave your loot.

Hehe, the little boy is doing a good job.”
“Really? I didn’t live this hard when I was younger.”

Copson and Meria also put their belongings inside Lina’s backpack. Still, there was no sign of distress. It was only natural that Lina’s stamina had already been verified.

“By the way oppa, where are you going today?”

As I left the castle gate, Lina standing next to me asked.

“Ah. I hear there’s some crazy mansion out there. I’m going to search it. It’ll probably take less than a week, but don’t worry. I’m sure about the money.”
“…Huh? A mansion?”
“Why.”

Lina looked up at me with a pale complexion.

“There are rumors that people are missing right now…”
“I’m going to investigate that. Why, are you scared? Don’t worry dude. Who am I?”
“Ah, that’s right. There’s no one scarier than my brother…”
“This bastard.”

Lina seemed to be afraid of me, but she didn’t fall from my side. Come to think of it, it seems it has always been like this. A small, timid barbarian girl.

Well, if it hits the jackpot, I can give you some Pochi.

“Speaking of which, they’re like siblings. Aren’t they from the same tribe? That, what did they say? Korea? Didn’t they say the name of the tribe was Korea?”
“This memory is good. It’s not the same tribe.
“Hmm, I came here and met you. Ah, that’s right. It’s because you’re the same ‘countryman’, so you care? After all, even barbarians have human hearts.”

Looking at the emphasis on ‘compatriots’, it seems that one of the thoughts about barbarians is certain.

Hehe, you crazy guy.”

We walked and chatted about this and that. Talk about each other’s current situation or things that happened. Listening to it, it seems that Meria lives a pretty hard life. Their dream is to earn money and open a clothing store, but if you roll for a long time as a D-rank, it’s a story that has plenty of potential.

While talking about that, he laughed as if jokingly added that if a fucking customer came, he would beat him to death with a shield and then take off his clothes and sell them.

Are you kidding me?

“Lina, what did she do after that?”
“That’s… She’s doing well with the money her brother gave her. She’s sleeping at an inn, and she’s no longer starving… I can buy clothes and weapons, so I can find work a little easier, and that’s how it was.”
“Oh, yes. I’m glad she’s doing well.”

Lina’s appearance was in a fairly tidy state.

The large backpack on her back is her old, but her clothes and shoes look fine, and a shortsword and hatchet hang from her waist her.

She says she’s been living there ever since she washed her hands in the slums then she fucked me and came out.

Seeing her living well though, I thought she was doing well.

They say they make ends meet by working as porters, cleaning the sewerage, emptying the garbage, etc. With that amount, she should be able to eat something while sleeping at an inn.

That way, she’ll be promoted to Class E, grow old, and then she might become like Meria. She can somehow survive if she has sincerity and luck.

“Barbarian. Mary Ahyang. Look at this map. Which way do you think she should go from here?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to go fast with Santa?”
“I agree too.”

As we moved, we constantly exchanged opinions.

From the route to travel, to what to do and how to deal with unexpected situations. Still, they are all veteran adventurers. His skills are solid, and he also has flexibility and the ability to improvise.

“But what do you think is the cause of the disappearance of the adventurers?”
“I think there will be strong monsters.”

Contrary to what Copson said indifferently, Meria spoke while holding her weight.

“Isn’t there something in the mansion? There’s something like a secret trap in the basement… A trap that kills you as soon as you step on it! The thorns are sharp!”
“Oh shit!!! It’s so inhuman!!!”
“Maria Meria, don’t use scary words!”

Opinions about the mansion varied, but our conclusions narrowed down to four.

If it’s a monster that can be dealt with, kill it and collect the by-products. Otherwise run away If you can search the mansion, do it carefully. If that’s not the case, find the body, take the belongings, and go back.

If you follow these rules, you won’t get much burns.

It was evening, and we prepared for camp.

“Do you need a light?”

ㅡPay!

I took out Latrath’s necklace and squeezed it tightly, and a bright light leaked out. Copson and Meria’s reaction upon seeing it was astonishment itself.

“No!!! Barbarian! What the hell is that shining necklace!”
“Can I touch you?!”
Hehe, it’s something I got while fighting a fairy.”
“Fairy!”

He made a hiding place while dramatizing and explaining the story at that time. Since there were only three D-class adventurers, the work progressed in an instant. Each other’s cloak and twigs. And with a string, he completed a fairly comfortable hiding place.

Then we lit a fire, ate some food, set a night watch and went in to sleep.

*  *  *

After marching hard for a little over two days in this way, they arrived at the area where the mansion was supposed to be.

It’s a pretty secluded place.

The terrain surrounded by forests and mountains, perhaps the mansion was actually a building closer to an old mountain hut rather than a mansion? There is a possibility that the adventurers’ bravado and gongka inflated the rumors.

“From here on, I’ll have no choice but to diligently search for the mansion. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”

Copson engrossed himself in the map, and we looked around in all directions.

“But maybe.”

While doing so, Meria said.

“Actually, there is no such thing as a mansion, so maybe people who are looking for it fall into the maze of the forest?
“No, Meria. Why do you like scary stories so much?”
“There were stories like that in my hometown. Something like a maze in the forest, or a mountain spirit. Isn’t it common for people who get lost in the mountains to be kidnapped by fairies?”

It’s not a maze in the forest or abduction by fairies, it’s just a reference to being eaten by a monster. Success is always like that, isn’t it?

The fact that the horse was kidnapped by a fairy is more likely to be abduction by bandits.

However, it is not wrong to say that bandits are no different from forest fairies. Whether it be bandits or fairies, they are hostile to humans.

“Oh, brother. It’s not really going to happen, is it?”
Hehe, it could happen!”
“Ugh… But if it’s my brother, I think I can kill them all.”
“Sounds obvious.”

Whatever appears, as long as there is a knife, there is no problem. It is a sharpened sword that cuts down on the threat of reality.

“Let’s take a break at this point and go. Hmm, I’m sure it’s on this side, but it’s hard to find because we don’t know the exact location. All the mountains must be there.”
“That’s right.”

But. Since it is in such a remote place, the mansion must have been neglected. If it had been in a conspicuous place, it would have been torn down long ago.

Still, the mansion is quite a mystery.

What kind of building is it and how old is it? Even the nearest town takes a day’s walk to reach it. It is a world where the mountains are overflowing with monsters and criminals. There is no way there could be a building in such an outlandish place.

Unless you’re a nerd, there’s no reason to build a building in a place like this. Perhaps this area was once a village. Could this be the last vestige of a lost village?

Thinking like that makes it even more creepy.

“Hmm?”

After walking for a while, it was noon.

Just as we were about to eat lunch, Copson, who was leading the way, stopped and pointed to the other side. Naturally, our gaze turned toward it.

“Bar, barbarian. Miss Meria. Look over there.”
“…I’m watching.”
“Oh my goodness.”

What was visible in the distance was the tip of an artificial structure. A building stood deep in the mountains, hidden by bushes and trees.

I finally found the seed.

That’s the rumored, mysterious mansion.

“Looks like I found it. Let’s go!”

We headed right there.

As we approached, the shape of the building began to become clearer. After running at a higher speed, the shape of the building finally caught my eye.

“Fuck you.”
