Chapter 230: Tuition (6)
There was an uproar in the forest that had been quiet just before.
Don’t fall out! Ppusishishi! Wasasa sasa sasa… …
The screams of the gnolls being fried in oil were tearing up the night sky.
A nasty stinking smell from wild beasts being burned alive flows out of the burrow.
Those who barely survived were all covered in hot oil.
[Grrruk! Grrr!]
[Kaeng-kiing!]
[Aagh!]
All of the gnolls, writhing in pain, leaped out of the burrow, baring their teeth and claws.
A wounded beast has a narrowed field of vision. That is to say, there is nothing to see.
No matter how dangerous it was, it was a C+ rank monster, but the killing spree it spewed out was comparable to that of a monster of a higher rank.
however.
… Pooh!
In front of Bikir’s hands, all of his struggles were meaningless.
A crude iron skewer quickly pierced Gnoll’s throat.
[That’s right?]
Knoll felt a sting on the side of his neck as he was just coming out of the hole, but he was so unconcerned that he didn’t even think to look around and ran straight ahead.
But, of course, because of the hole in his neck, he staggered to his knees without being able to take a few steps.
thud-
A few seconds before the red blood fountain violently spewed from his throat, Gnoll slumped in the same spot, his eyes wide open, and his breath stopped.
Bikir stayed close to the burrow, poking his skewer through the throats of the gnolls as they jumped out of the burrow.
… hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook! … hook!
There is nothing to sting too much. Just once. She stretched out her arm with strength and then retrieved it.
Every time the iron skewer monotonously goes back and forth, the knolls that have jumped out of the burrow collapse and pile up in front.
Eventually, all of the gnolls that jumped out of the burrow became cold corpses and piled up in the clearing in front of the burrow.
Bikir roughly wiped the blood off his face and ran his hair through his hair.
“Looks like it’s almost over.”
The scene of a terrifying slaughter.
Watching the killing technique unfold without a single error and its tremendous proficiency, Minipin couldn’t help but stick out his tongue.
“… … What the hell is the boss doing?”
“why? Is this your first time catching a gnoll?”
“Obviously, it’s the first time. Who catches knoll like this?”
While Minpin finished speaking, more than ten gnolls had already fallen out of the burrow.
Minpin collected the corpses of the gnolls that kept piling up in a specific spot and loaded them onto the cart.
There are so many of them, it is clear that the cart they brought will not be able to begin. It was to the point where he had to ask for cooperation from the local government office or guild.
And even at this moment, Bikir was waiting by the oyster.
Dipping the skewer into the necks of the remnants of gnolls that pop out with lightning-like skill and pulling them out.
Right then.
[Grrrrrr… … ]
An eerie sound is heard from inside the cave.
As soon as Minpin heard the sound, he immediately exclaimed.
“Yes, boss! Avoid! Something else comes out!”
Before long, something large came out of the hole.
It was three times the size of a normal gnoll, and was unusually black and green in hair all over its body.
Her fur was as stiff as needles, and thick, clotted oil dripped like tears from her bloodshot eyes.
Minpin exclaimed in fright.
“It’s a ‘poison gnoll’, a variant of gnolls! It has a danger grade A rank, and its strength and speed are dozens of times that of normal gnolls! In addition, their teeth, fingernails, and hair contain a deadly poison that can drive people crazy, even if they are just brushed against it… … !”
But there was no time for an explanation. Poison Gnoll had come out of nowhere, breaking through the narrow entrance of the burrow.
“Eight!”
Minipin grabbed his greatsword and ran towards Vikir.
It was to give the client in crisis time to escape.
but.
[yes!]
A lump of dust that fell from above stopped Minpin from risking his life.
“… … Eh?”
Minpin stopped in her seat with an absurd expression on her face.
That would also be the case, because this small mass, like an butter that fell from the sky, rushed at the Poison Gnoll in front of it as soon as it touched the ground.
And what’s even more surprising is that as soon as this nasty little lump of dust bit the back of his neck, he immediately rolled his eyes and foamed at his mouth and passed out.
[rumbling!]
Poison Knoll rolled over on its feet, spewing out what was inside of it through its mouth and anus, then completely stretched out.
“Huh?”
Minpin looked at the corpses of Vikir and Poison Knoll, dumbfounded.
Poison Play Which monster is it? Once they appeared, a small village in the mountains would be annihilated from that day onwards.
A named monster that was impossible to subjugate even if several small and medium-sized hunting guilds attacked with full force.
He even goes around with his subordinates, so a large guild must mobilize an elite army to catch him.
… … but.
“Nice job, come back.”

As Bikir beckoned, a ball of dust quickly flew up and crawled into the hem of Bikir’s sleeve.
[Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear-]
The young madam was sticking out her tongue and sending a look as if she was looking for praise.
Meanwhile.
Minpin blinked as if he couldn’t believe that the tiny lump of hair in front of him, not even a creature, had killed Poison Knoll in one bite (?).
“Haa, I thought the past few days of being tormented by the boss were a nightmare… … It’s more like a dream now. Is this even possible?”
“The reality is true, so make an estimate of the compensation and the selling price of by-products.”
At Bikir’s natural command, Minpin also nodded.
And Minpin had to stick out her tongue the whole time she counted the countless corpses of nolls and poison nols piled up in front of her eyes.
“If you count the dead bodies in the cave, the number must be staggering. Even I can’t figure it out right now. I think I will have to go out to a big city and get appraisals from several experts.”
“I guess I’ll have to take care of all the corpses, since there’s a reward for each dog.”
“yes. Those who died of suffocation or had their throats pierced seemed to be able to be skinned and sold. I think it would be okay to remove the bones of the fried ones and sell them, but I’ll go in and check them out later when the heat in the oyster cools down.”
The gnoll’s burrow was still hot, so Vikir and Minipin sat outside the burrow for a while, collecting the gnoll’s bodies and waiting.
In the meantime, a few surviving gnolls often crawled out while noticing, and were cleaned up at the cub madam line.
Eventually, the heat in the cave cools down enough, and Minpin crawls inside with a torch.
As they dug up the ground and advanced little by little, they soon saw an amazing sight in a deep dungeon.
“Yes, boss! I think you should see this for yourself!”
Hearing Minipin’s cry, Bikir also went into the cave.
What awaited them inside was a scene so unexpected that even the always calm Bikir was quite startled.
goldfinch. Gold coins that were pickled in oil and emitting golden light were piled up in the cave.
Under the light created by the flickering torches, the gold coins cast eerie light and shadow on both sides.
It is rightly said that a person freezes when suddenly exposed to too much wealth.
“… … What is it all about?”
Minpin looked back at Bikir with a slightly frightened expression.
But Bikir was still unconcerned.
“Looks like someone was using this place as a safe.”
“yes? That’s what they play… … ah!”
Minpin exclaimed in silence.
As mentioned before, gnolls have a habit of gathering shiny things and stacking them in their burrows.
It was possible that someone who took advantage of this gnoll’s habit was keeping black money here.
“There were a lot of Knolls, so there was no chance of being robbed by someone else. I am a natural vault keeper.”
“Ha, but what kind of old man keeps his money in Gnoll’s Lair?”
“well. But at least one thing is certain.”
At Bikir’s words, Minipin tilts her head as if wondering.
And soon, his expression turned white at Bikir’s words.
“He must be someone who has the confidence to kill all these gnolls and take the gold coins back.”
A person capable of killing all the gnolls in this place as easily as opening a safe.
What’s more, the size of the colony is so large that even Poison Nol lurks here.
“… … .”
Minpin trembled slightly and faced the gold coin in front of him.
A huge number of gold coins were piled up like a mountain.
Dalgrak-
Bikir picked up a gold coin that was randomly thrown on the dirt floor.
“… … There is no serial number.”
A gold coin that has not yet been engraved with a serial number.
In other words, it means unregistered coins that have not yet been officially distributed to banks after they have been created in the country of currency production.
“Bourgeois Demian, the director of the Mint Bureau, enacted a law to engrave unique serial numbers on banknotes and coins. Apparently, these coins were stolen before the law came into existence, or just before the serial numbers were engraved.”
“Are you saying that these are all bank robbing results?”
“Other than that, I can’t explain it.”
Bikir wondered if there had been reports of bank robberies recently.
… … there is. there was.
Recently, there is an entity that has been destroying major facilities in the ecliptic.
[Exclusive] The hound of the night, about its ferocity… …
-The evil deeds of the hounds of the night have gone too far… … The night hound that attacked the academy… … Anti-human and anti-national… … Meanwhile, during the festival, the main facilities in the ecliptic destroyed by the night hound… … Imperial Imperial Bank… …
I remembered it better because it was an article written by Vikir himself.
A villain who recently raided the Imperial Bank of Empire and raked all the wealth in it.
An unidentified terrorist who commits even bigger crimes by copying the crimes of night hounds.
The moment Bikir comes up with a name he doesn’t like.
“… … !”
It casts an ominous shadow over reality.
Something long and large fell in front of Bikir and Minipin, who quickly jumped out of the burrow.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Bikir backed away from the explosion that erupted out of nowhere.
As the dust settled, a long, winding scar was visible in the floor.
It looks like a giant snake crawled on it.
It was a trace made by the mysterious man who was now standing on a bare tree branch and looking down.
[Hohohoho- Did the rats crawl into my piggy bank?]
A high-pitched, modulated voice can be heard through the ventilation hole in the mask’s mouth.
And the moment she heard that voice, Minpin’s face turned white.
His expression was even more stunned than when he saw countless flocks of gnolls.
“M-Miss Ouroboros!?”
He encountered the worst villain who terrorized the night of the zodiac.
