I Became an Immoral Child in the Game

8 – 3-Lighthouse Town

*

“What the hell, what the hell! What the hell is this! How can this happen! It’s my job to serve the Djejitz family! Please help me so I can do my part! You immoral me! Like this! I beseech you! I’ll give it to you!”

“Huh, did you understand? Helga, what kind of nanny are you?”

I’ve been listening to Helga’s nagging since the morning wind.

I couldn’t sleep, and my mana ran out, so I was in a playful state.

Fortunately, the sun had not yet risen when I came out of the mine.

Please take a moment to be relieved that time has not passed.

How else did Helga know that I was gone? She was searching the entire village of Lothric with the Lighthouse Knights.

Damn Helga was the first to find me, she was almost humiliated for showing her naked body to her underlings.

[You seem to have a fairly high status, right? Are you dragging the knights?]

‘It’s not my knights. It’s my father’s.’

Even Jin intervened even though he was already in a frenzy.

[Oh, the son of a well-to-do family. It would be convenient to get my body back.]

‘As long as that famous family doesn’t stick a knife through my neck.’

[It seems that there are quite complicated circumstances?]

‘Okay, I’ll tell you everything later.’

I decided to ignore Jin for a while.

Because the priority is to calm down Helga.

“The important thing is that I found the dungeon. Think about it. How much damage would it have done if the miners found the dungeon while working?”

“You think that’s really important? What were you doing in the mine at midnight in the first place?!”

“I heard that if you change the location when gathering mana in Danjeon, you can collect better quality mana? I wanted to test it out. Did I know there would be a dungeon there?”

“That’s right. How many charges do you think have been put on my neck thanks to that? Even if my head is cut off right now, there’s no reason to argue.”

“Isn’t the ball bigger than that? Discovering a dungeon is a huge achievement. Even if I found it.”

I told Helga to stop complaining.

“Even if it’s not the case, I’ve already reported to the higher up. Personnel from the Vatican will be dispatched soon.”

“And Helga, you’ve got a hefty bounty. Shouldn’t you be thanking me instead?”

“It’s more profitable to live as a lighthouse engineer without getting a few pennies!”

Helga seemed to be losing her composure and put her back on and off the back of the wagon.

“I took a quick look inside and it wasn’t a very weak dungeon. If the frost golem hadn’t died in the collapsed ceiling, Bjorn would have died in the dungeon without anyone noticing. Even if Bjorn was a sword expert, the frost golem was dead. Is a formidable enemy that can never be dealt with alone. It is truly heavenly luck! Heavenly luck!”

I’m the one who killed the frost golem by bringing down that ceiling.

I nodded as if I didn’t know anything.

“Okay, I got it. I’ll be careful next time. Okay?”

“Yes, please.”

The advantage of the nobility is that it ends with a verbal warning even after such a major accident.

I give my heartfelt consolation to the lighthouse who must have searched the entire village of Lothric to find me after not being able to sleep properly.

I don’t know how much more I’ll be able to enjoy in the future, but I have to pick out as many mulberries as possible.

Anyway, the case was settled.

Helga went to pack up with the Lighthouse Knights, and I sat down at the inn and ate breakfast with sleepy eyes.

Outside, as usual, ashes were pouring.

[Was Esteria continent originally this dark?]

For Jin, the ashes falling from the sky seemed strange.

It seems that volcanic ash did not cover the world before Jin was sealed.

‘The volcano called Red Hill is spewing ashes.’

[Red Hill? …… Could it be that the long volcanic mountain range continues from the sea?]

‘Yeah, it’s been a while since the ashes covered the sky up here in the north. At this rate, within 100 years after the temperature drops, demons will come down to Esteria.’

It’s exactly 10 years from now, but there’s no need to be honest.

Jin was clearly taken aback by the shocking news of the Esteria continent.

Seeing that fireballs are f*cking up in the sky and no one cares, Jin must be the only one who can see them.

[I’m going to turn around. If that were the case, Moloch would have already finished preparing to go south. What the hell are Dragonak and the World Tree doing? We urgently need to raise the temperature of the continent right now.]

‘Is there a way to stop the temperature from dropping?’

[It must be difficult to be alone now. But if you get your body back and meet Dragonak and the World Tree, there will be a way]

‘Where are those two now?’

[I know for sure where the World Tree is, but Dreygo Nak is such an unruly guy that I can’t predict where he is now. Anyway, first of all, I have to get my body back. Otherwise, you cannot fight against Moloch.]

I don’t know Jin, but the temperature will drop completely in the next 10 years.

It is not too late to slowly find your body after 4 years.

I can roughly guess where Jin’s body is.

But why was Jin, who was strong enough to be treated as an equal with the devil, defeated?

In a folktale, it is said that the arrogant Jin was so proud of his skills that he ignored the advice of other gods and fought a one-on-one duel with the demon king and was defeated.

Is it really?

I said, putting on the extra Lighthouse Knights cloak that Helga had saved.

‘By the way, how did you end up being sealed in a mine like this?’

[…] … It’s a long story.]

It seems awkward to talk about right now.

Well, we’re not close, but it’s not something we can talk about easily.

I didn’t bother asking.

‘I know finding your body is an urgent priority, but I also have work to do. It’s not for nothing that I put a grace period of 4 years on it.’

[What’s more urgent than saving the world from crisis?]

‘My place in my family is not good.’

I talked about my situation calmly.

My position in the family, an explanation of the lighthouse knights, the lighthouse I am heading to now, and why I had to apply for the lighthouse knights.

Jin listened calmly and nodded his head.

[I see. You mean surviving first is the priority, right?]

‘Yes, even now, my adoptive mother is devising a plan to kill me every minute. I need to establish myself so that I can gather information much more easily when I find your body.’

[First of all, making your body strong is the most important thing. If you have strong power, it will be useless no matter how much the enemy tries.]

Even if he rots, he is a god, and Jin was aware of the situation.

[I hate to say this, but you have talent. No human being I’ve ever met has such an intense talent as you. In addition, he is young and has a temper. When you become an adult, there will be few people stronger than you in all of humanity.]

‘It’s possible if he survives.’

Now I am a lion cub abandoned in the field.

All the animals around me are eager to kill me before I grow up.

Now I had to lower my body, lower my head, and move quietly.

[Anyway, raising a hero with your own hands is rewarding. I will help you to be active in the war against Moloch in the future.]

‘Hero, what do you mean? I have no intention of doing that.’

[You don’t believe that a person who is special enough to have a temper will live a normal life, right? We must defend humanity against Moloch. Isn’t that the dream of every boss?]

‘What bullsh*t? If you’re the head of the company, you should live as your cock sucks. If you finish working in the north and find your body, I’ll return Hwajeong right away, receive a territory in the southeast, and then set up a nursery. That I’ll live without the day my dick runs dry.’

[There’s nothing I can’t say about a kid!]

Jin seemed to be taken aback by my words, and he burned hotly.

But what can I do?

Every time she spits out vulgar words, she feels delight at the thought of bringing this world down to the level of a mass market.

Ah, I’m violating the final game!

I briefly shuddered at Jin’s reaction.

[Haa, how could such a vulgar madman have such a natural talent……. Do you really have to be strong? Can’t I just die?]

‘A promise is a promise?’

The knights who were busily carrying luggage lined up in front of Helga while he and Jin were joking around.

It seemed that all the packing was over.

As Helga was leading the knights for a final check before departure, someone shouted at the knights.

“I… Please accept me into the Lighthouse Knights!”

I was a small child who looked younger than my peers.

Does it take a lot to be 12 years old?

With a scruffy outfit, greasy hair, and a face full of soup, he was a commoner.

At least for a young child, his strong body and kind eyes were impressive.

Actually, the lighthouse knights only looked at the boy with the reaction, ‘Are you sure?’

Members of the lighthouse corps were accepted as members regardless of their status, as long as they were capable.

Originally, considering that the members of the Order of Knights were extremely closed, it was an unconventional greeting method that was somewhat like a mass market.

As a result, the members of the Humanity Lighthouse also say that they are the Lighthouse, not the Knights, but that is not persuasive.

The origins of the Humanity Lighthouse began as a coast guard in Homeland, which was originally the hometown of the Rodal people.

Since Wonryu was a member of the guard, although it was on paper, he was able to be free from the status system even though he was a knights under the direct control of the emperor.

In fact, it was impossible to maintain the enormous size of 9,000 people otherwise.

There are 9,000 knights who have been formally appointed by the emperor, not ordinary knights!

All of them were awarded a fief upon joining, and the fief was Homeland, the homeland of the Rodal tribe, where demons live.

This was a strong expression of his will to reclaim the homeland, and it was also the emperor’s will not to give a real fief to the Humanity Lighthouse, which was subordinate to the De Yewitz family.

If a knight had no real fiefdom, it was the same as refusing to pay for his labor.

That’s why the De Yewitz family was giving salaries to the Knights of the Lighthouse of Humanity.

This was the reason why the emperor’s influence was weak even though they were knights under the direct command of the emperor.

The lighthouse was the only way to become a knight for the commoners who had no way to survive.

As a result, there used to be people in the procession of the Lighthouse Knights who blindly asked to accept themselves in this way.

From noble mtl dot com

Most of them were people who were far from the Lighthouse Village or because of the age limit, making it difficult to take the entrance exam.

In that case, the Lighthouse Knights had a way to deal with it.

“Kid, if you fight me and win, I’ll accept you into the Lighthouse Knights.”

A new knight who just joined the knights who came out against the kid.

He was a sword user.

He threw a sword the size of a kid and stood there with an annoyed face.

I looked at the scene with a sad face.

If a lighthouse knight came out like this, he would roll up his tail and run away.

But this kid was different.

He held the sword he couldn’t even hold properly with both hands.

[Wait, that kid…… The potential is great?]

Jin seemed to have seen something in the kid.

‘Really? How great is that?’

[If you have received proper education, you should be at least a sword user at that age. You could probably look at the Sword Expert.]

Only then did I see the boy properly.

The youngest knight threw the boy to the ground several times.

I can’t kill you, so I meant to fall into my own pool.

However, the boy grabbed the sword and began to imitate the swordsmanship of the youngest knight.

Footsteps, sword trajectory, strength control when swinging, and even gripping.

It’s clumsy, but I managed to catch up.

First, 1 go.

After that, the second round.

3 Go… ….

The sum increased over time.

Ichae was young in the eyes of the knights who were staring at him.

“Stop!”

I stopped the sparring and got off the wagon and approached the kid.

“What’s your name, kid?”

The boy, covered in mud up to his face, said his name calmly.

“My name is Mion. My grandmother told me to give my last name as Woodman if anyone asks.”

Woodman is a word that represents the profession of a woodcutter, not a proper surname.

It meant a typical born child.

But I know who this kid is.

Warm.

The main character of 「Esteria War」.

A person who is scheduled to save mankind from crisis in the future from the demon king.

He was standing in front of me.
