Chapter 16. The eagle is medicine. (One)
The hair and eyes that had been dyed black had also returned to their original state. She finally got her body together and stood up.
“Ohh.”
After all, this is what happens when you starve Requiem for a long time. I was lucky this time, but there was no guarantee it would be like that next time.
“I need to be more careful.”
I shook the grass off my body and turned around.
“Come here, Black Star.”
When he snapped his fingers, Black Star winced.
“Hee, hee.”
When I kicked him earlier, I was so scared that I was going to get scolded now.
“I won’t scold you, so come.”
He quickly snapped his fingers.
Only then did Black Star hesitantly approach me. As my hand rose into the air, Black Star’s eyes closed tightly.
Ssuk suk.
“Good job.”
I gently scratched the bridge of his nose.
“Purung?”
Black Star’s eyes widened.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I came to my senses.”
As I whispered softly, Black Star let out a snort of excitement! It spewed out.
“Purp! Purr!”
He showed cuteness by poking his head in. Her hand barely stopped him from sticking out her tongue and trying to lick it.
“Don’t do it because it’s dirty.”
“Pureung…….”
Although the guy was disappointed, he walked away, waving his tail gently.
When I thought about it, the sound of flying insects I heard earlier seemed to be the cry of a black star.
It looks like he was trying to wake me up somehow and resorted to kicking as a last resort.
‘That’s amazing. ‘Better than humans.’
Moreover, they destroyed the building as I told them to. I decided to forget about my procrastination earlier.
“good job.”
As a bonus, I even scratched his mane, which he loved. Then she suddenly felt something strange.
“……Have you gained weight?”
“Purung?”
It felt like his body had grown subtly larger. Somehow, my skin became more shiny and my hair became finer.
This guy seems to be eating well and living well without me?
“You’re probably not going around eating humans, are you?”
“Purungrpung, pung!”
Black Star shook his head as if it was absolutely not true. It didn’t look particularly trustworthy.
‘I’ll have to ask Elice later.’
Have you heard any rumors that monsters that eat people have been appearing around the capital?
“Okay, I get it.”
Finally, he shook off Black Star’s mane and spoke.
“Now get out of the way. Let me do my business.”
“-!”
Black Star rolled his eyes. He suddenly blocked my path and spoke desperately.
“Purb, purr. Purr!”
“what?”
“Purp, purr!”
As if some kind of harmony had occurred, the guy who had been conveying his thoughts well until now became strange.
He was saying a lot, but I couldn’t understand a single word. Looking at her expression and frantic movements, I could tell that she was very embarrassed right now.
“What is he saying now?”
He roughly pushed Black Star away and approached the human lying on the ground. When I saw his face, a name that had not occurred to me before immediately came to mind.
“Philip.”
Why is this human here?
I just clicked my tongue at the amazing coincidence.
“Isn’t this what it looks like?”
When I first saw it from afar, I thought it was a beggar. It looks like he went through quite a bit of hardship after being caught by a gang of thieves.
“I guess he was coming up to the capital to meet me.”
As expected, there was no way that Mr. Diego would come in person. It seemed like he was going to send Philip, but that just happened.
“Let’s see…”
I searched Philip’s arms, but there was nothing. It seemed like all his belongings were taken away when he was imprisoned.
After thinking about it a bit, I found the answer.
“I think the boss has it.”
Now that I think about it, I heard that I couldn’t even see a single hair on the boss, which was crazy. Aside from Philip, the only remaining life seemed to be a bastard.
As I unfolded the absolute realm, I felt life beneath my feet.
“It must be a basement, or a cave.”
The corner of my mouth twitched and went up.
Still, he is the leader of a group, but I never thought he would be this cowardly.

It was very shameful that my face was not shown even once while all my men were dying.
“Let me take a look at that face.”
I was planning on killing them all anyway, but I thought it would be better to kill this guy in a very painful way.
“Black Star.”
He got up and called out Black Star.
“Fu, purrung?”
Black Star was scared for some reason. He lowered his tail and looked at me.
“I’m protecting this guy well so he can’t escape.”
When I pointed to Philip, Black Star slowly blinked.
“Pureung…?”
“I’m going down here for a bit, so keep a close eye on me.”
Black Star finally understood what I was saying and nodded his head vigorously.
“Purung!”
Somehow, he looked very relieved.
I left the prison, leaving Blackstar and Philip behind. I found the largest of the tattered buildings here and there.
“That’s it.”
After all, the head’s residence is usually located in the largest building.
The door was completely shattered thanks to Black Star hitting the exact center. I roughly lifted off a piece of the door and went inside.
I walked straight through the hallway and entered the largest room. The room was a complete mess, as if they had left in a hurry.
There were no visible valuables or treasures. That further confirmed that there must be a basement down here.
“hmm?”
I clicked my tongue when I saw the plate on the table.
“Why is the meal so poor?”
On the plate were vegetable porridge, potatoes, and bread with few ingredients.
There must be a lot of wild animals around here, but you don’t hunt them? How did you manage to steal after just eating this?
While I was wondering, a hypothesis suddenly passed through my mind.
“……Eh, no way.”
I shook my head desperately. However, rather than disappearing, the hypothesis emerged more clearly.
“I’m sure it’s not because of Black Star.”
They say he ate all the wild animals around here, so the thieves had nothing to hunt. That’s probably not the case.
“…….”
The moment I remembered Black Star’s body, I felt this hypothesis gain even more strength.
“Why did you gain so much weight?”
I expressed my condolences to the bandits for a moment. When I thought about it again, it seemed like their movements were particularly weak.
Still, if Elice knew about them, they must have been a well-known group of thieves, but they were defeated so easily that it was almost pointless.
In this way, one more achievement(?) of Black Star was added.
“It’s probably on the floor.”
As I walked around the floor with my feet, I found another place under the carpet where the sound came from.
Flap!
When I lifted the animal skin carpet, I saw a wooden door.
“Oh my.”
He smiled brightly.
Discovering someone else’s secret space is exhilarating fun. Especially if you know what’s in there.
I grabbed the round hook at the top of the door and pulled.
Rattling!
The door didn’t budge.
“I guess they locked it after they went down.”
Well, if it doesn’t open, you can just force it open.
I grabbed the ring with both hands and gave it some strength.
Bye!
The door was torn off with a loud noise. A wooden ladder was visible below it.
“It’s pretty deep, isn’t it?”
After blowing the whistle, I just jumped off. He had already jumped from the height of the third floor of a building, and this height was nothing.
The inside wasn’t as dark as I thought. This was because candles were sparsely placed on the floor.
I could see a cave dug straight ahead. It was just big enough for one person to pass by.
When I looked far away, I couldn’t see the end, whether there was a point in the middle where it turned sideways.
‘It’s bigger than I thought?’
Bad smells from the human body, metallic smells from coins and jewelry, etc. I could faintly feel the scent particles floating in the air.
It was evidence that the leader had passed through here not long ago.
As I unfolded the absolute realm, I felt a life, as expected. Now at the same height instead of under your feet.
‘There’s no way he could have dug a cave this size alone.’
It seemed like they had accidentally discovered an existing oyster and used it. Secretly alone, keeping it a secret from her subordinates.
The leader’s presence was stationary in one place. It felt like I was very focused on something.
‘Let’s go soon.’
He started walking, making loud footsteps.
Tap, tap.
As expected, the narrow cave made my footsteps louder. The eerie sound of footsteps grew in size and spread far and wide.
At some point while going through the cave,
[Hi!]
The sound of the leader taking a deep breath passed my ears. It seemed like he heard my footsteps.
This was followed by the sound of someone clattering and grabbing something, followed by the sound of people scrambling to hide.
‘That’s fun.’
The fact that the other side can’t see me, but I can clearly see what the other person is doing.
Tap, tap.
I continued walking without making any sound.
We got closer and closer to the point where the oyster bends sideways. Additionally, the whole situation seemed as if it were visible to the eye.
[Whoop, whoop]
Breathe out softly through your nose, making no sound.
[Excited, Excited]
My heart is beating fast due to tension.
[squeak]
Even holding the weapon with sweaty palms.
I burst out laughing when I thought of the leader who was nervous and unable to breathe inside that cave.
Its presence got closer and closer. He pretended not to know anything and continued walking without slowing down.
My shadow grew longer and longer, covering the inside of the cave. The moment you turn the corner,
“Iyaab!”
A huge mace flew in with a loud shout.
‘Tsk tsk.’
Maybe it’s not going to be any different from what was expected.
He laughed at the leader and easily dodged the mace. At the same time, he stepped on the leader’s foot.
“Huh?!”
thud!
The leader let out a comical scream and fell to the floor in the same position he had been running at.
“Hey, you bastard!”
The guy got up and lunged at me again. But there weren’t many options in this narrow cave.
Overpowering the guy who was charging at me in the same posture was much easier than before, which took the form of a surprise attack.
Jump!
It made a loud noise, considering it was a slap on the cheek with the palm of my hand.
Craddangtang!
The leader’s body hit the wall with a loud noise.
“Kkuek!”
It sounds exactly like a pig being slaughtered. It was large and had a rugged appearance, resembling a wild boar.
I thought about that calmly as I watched the boss squealing.
“Well, that’s pretty good.”
The leader stood up unsteadily, wiping the corner of his mouth.
“But, it’s about this much….”
In the meantime, I pretended to be curious and muttered, as if I didn’t want to lose.
However, the trembling legs and head shaking from side to side completely betrayed the will of the owner.
Worst of all, the cheek that had been hit was already red and swollen.
“It’s annoying, so stop kneeling.”
As he snapped his fingers, the leader’s face turned bright red.
“shut up!”
The boss got angry and attacked me again. It looked like a wild boar running wild after being slapped.
Liquid!
In the meantime, it must have gotten used to swinging a weapon in a narrow cave, so its attacks became sharper.
It was a fairly fast movement that I didn’t expect to see from a band of thieves like this, but
“Haaam.”
It was slow enough to make me yawn. This time, instead of avoiding it, I took a step forward and snuggled into its arms.
“what……!”
The moment the boss’s eyes suddenly widened,
Jump!
My palm touched his other cheek. The leader’s body flew away again.
Crash!
“Queuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
The leader fell to the floor and let out a groaning sound. Now the other cheek was also red and swollen.
“Why, it’s fair and good.”
I laughed and waved my hands.
“There’s an old saying that if you turn one cheek, turn the other cheek too.”
“What bullshit is that!”
The leader burst into anger and rushed back. It seemed that the reason he became the leader of this gang of thieves was because of his simple and ferocious nature.
match!
“Hey, this guy….”
match!
“What the hell….”
match!
“……I was wrong.”
As expected, there was no business in front of each other.
