I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

44 – Escort Quest (2)

——

You accepted the quest.

Success Reward: 22 experience points

——

Tear up the quest paper and hand it to the guild staff.

After confirming that the reception stamp had been taken, we went out of the guild building.

There is still quite a bit of time left to meet with the client.

So we decided to have dinner.

“I know of a unique and delicious restaurant around here.”

We all rode in a carriage to a restaurant that Benedetta knew.

I just went there thinking of an ordinary western restaurant.

But a restaurant came out that exceeded my expectations.

[Donghwa Restaurant Nansan]

It was a Chinese restaurant.

It didn’t feel like a neighborhood delivery Chinese restaurant, but more like a luxurious Chinese restaurant.

In , Which is basically set in the medieval West, the East also appears very little.

In the way of Donghwa or Dongguk.

… It is convenient to see Korea, China and Japan mixed together.

“I’ve never eaten Dongguk food before.”

Ellie Anne said as she looked around her shop.

Delia agreed, “Me too!”

In , It is said that East-West exchanges are not very active.

Because the Demon Kingdom is located right between East and West.

The Silk Road is the territory of the Demon Kingdom.

The clerk recognized Benedetta and led her directly to the room on the second floor of the store without any further questions.

There was a round table that is common in high-end Chinese restaurants.

Benedetta raised her chopsticks and told us.

“You know what? In Dongguk, people eat with these chopsticks.”

Others also held chopsticks in their hands.

Elianne, Luisa, Delia, and Lando had a lot of difficulty, probably because they were really new to each other.

I picked up chopsticks that I haven’t seen in a long time.

When Benedetta saw me,

“Oh, Joel seems to be good at chopsticks.”

And praised it.

I wanted to explain that although I was a Westerner on the outside, on the inside I was an Asian who had been eating with chopsticks for 20 years, but I held back.

Benedetta said softly, “Jumsoi.”

Then the clerk who guided us to our seats said “Yes” And walked over to her side.

It’s a shop.

Where is Dongguk in ‘S martial arts worldview?

Even in the story of the game, Dongguk did not come out well.

“Please recommend a menu.”

“Yes.”

The clerk explained various Chinese dishes.

There were foods I had never heard of, and there were foods I knew.

Surprisingly, there were also a few menu items that could be found at a local Chinese restaurant.

Then maybe?

After clearing my throat, I called the clerk, “Jum Soi.”

Then the clerk came right next to me and said, “Yes.”

“Do you have Jajangmyeon?”

“There is Jajangmyeon.”

“Isn’t there a mixture of stir-fried chunjang and noodles?”

“Yes.”

I never thought Korean-style Chinese food would really exist.

I also ordered sweet and sour pork.

The clerk looked at me strangely when I told him not to pour the sauce but to make sure to separate it.

Luisa asked me, tilting her head.

“Boss, have you tried Dongguk cuisine before?”

It looked puzzled since I ordered it out of the ordinary.

“I had eaten before Louisa came as my exclusive maid.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Benedetta also convinced me, saying, “Somehow, you use chopsticks well.”

***

A mountain located on the outskirts of Lauris.

A man put a rusty pot on a wood fire.

It has been two months since he joined the gang of bandits after being beaten by the exploits of the lord.

Still a rookie, his job was to make rice for the slaves.

Even if it was rice, it was a chowder made by boiling leftovers in water.

“Are you done?”

His shooter, another man, approached by the fire and asked.

The newcomer nodded and scooped the soup into the moldy wooden bowl.

The boss and other colleagues went to work towards Endo Village.

Leave the two of them in the hideout for slave management.

The newcomer asked, placing wooden bowls on a tray.

“Come to think of it, what is the flute your older brother is using?”

It’s a bit small to be called a flute, and it doesn’t make a sound no matter how much you blow it.

It was a tool used by the boss when raiding merchants.

Thanks to that flute, the fact that there were bandits in the mountains outside of Lauris was not discovered.

The shooter yawned in reply.

“I don’t know either. It’s just a magic flute that summons monsters. We just need to stop caring and brush it off.”

“Yes, indeed.”

The newcomer and the shooter took charge of the trays one by one.

And then I moved to the iron bar cage at the deepest part of the hideout.

Both men and women inside the barred cage trembled at the sight of the two of them.

The two opened the lock with the key and entered the cage.

Then, grinning, he set the wooden bowls on the tray in front of them one by one.

From noble mtl dot com

They, who were to be sold as slaves, hurriedly began to eat the chowder with their bare hands.

“Brother, where are you going to buy these boys to use?”

The newcomer asked, pointing at the skinny little boy.

“Boys live in the Republic. To farm or to work in a factory.”

Empires and kingdoms abolished slavery, but the Republic still had slavery.

However, even in the republic, s*xual slavery was banned.

After hearing the shooter’s explanation, the rookie tilted his head and asked again.

“Then where are s*x slaves sold? If s*x slavery were banned in the Republic as well.”

“Hey, think carefully. The kingdom is polygamous, why do we need s*x slaves? I just want to give her money and make her my wife. You just have to pay the same amount of money for the Republic as a concubine.”

“Then are you selling to the Empire? It’s monogamous there.”

“Yes. Imperial nobility love it, s*x slave. They pretend to be all clean on the outside, but in reality, the dirtiest guys are the imperial guys.”

The newcomer nodded and smiled.

I understood all the more because the place he was exploited was also imperial territory.

As the shooter was about to place a wooden bowl in front of a female slave, he turned his head toward the newcomer.

“Hey, it’s been a month since you came here.”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Bastard, you have to say it quickly. That way I won’t take care of it either.”

“Yes?”

A puzzled newcomer.

The shooter suddenly grabbed one of the female slaves by the wrist and pulled her out of the cage.

“Now, it’s yours. I deliberately chose a big b*tch, so eat it deliciously.”

“Ah!”

Observing what the two had been talking about, the female slave struggled and began to resist.

However, the shooter, accustomed to this kind of situation, leisurely wrapped the cloth around her eyes.

Then he force-fed her aphrodisiac.

A shooter who handed over a female slave who was weak and out of breath to a rookie.

She said she would do the rest and have fun.

“Thank you, brother!”

“Come.”

The shooter took back the wooden bowls that the slaves had eaten away.

Then I put it in a wooden box.

In the meantime, the rookie was not aware of her female body, which he tasted after a long time.

The boss’s policy is to give one s*x slave to anyone who has worked diligently for over a month.

Because it was the best welfare for those who were starving for women, there was not a single member who betrayed.

‘Oh, I’m bored.’

An archer holding a bow and standing on the watchtower.

Until now, no one had ever approached me.

That’s why it was an easy job to just pass the time, but it was boring.

At the most boring time, I always kill time by chatting with the newcomer, but the newcomer is now busy satisfying his needs.

He was thinking of taking a s*x slave to the watchtower for some fun.

Phishun—.

An arrow suddenly flew.

Without time to dodge or scream, it pierced the shooter’s neck.

***

After eating jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork for a long time.

We pulled the wagon again and drove through the night streets of Lauris.

The client, the peddler, was waiting for us at the exit of Lauris and the beginning of the road to Endo Village.

Of course, he didn’t seem to think that the mercenary would come in a noble carriage.

“… Yes? You said you received an escort request?”

I replied with a nod.

“Yes. Here.”

Looking at the quest paper, the peddler narrowed his eyes.

Then he gave me a slightly uneasy look.

Six new knight candidates, not veteran mercenaries who have gone through prenatal battles.

Because he even dragged a noble’s wagon, he won’t be trusted.

Still, the peddler smiled and introduced himself.

Even though I had a hard smile on my face.

“My name is Alessio, a peddler. I would like to thank you for accepting my request.”

We also revealed our names in order.

Then his eyes widened.

The son of the Marquis of Jahe, the daughter of the Duke of Chablis, and even the princess of the kingdom.

I think it’s a splendid lineup, but for an ordinary commoner peddler, there must have been people who were really unexpected.

“Uh, uh, uh, that, that…” . Uh… …. My, thank you very much for accepting my request. Her Highness the Princess, the Duke, and the Margrave.”

Finally, he knelt down and bowed his head.

The client who usually gives money is A.

The armor was trembling right in front of us.

I felt a little pity….

First of all, I heard the details of the request from him.

I know everything, but the other party members don’t.

In short, all the hawkers on their way to Endo Village recently had been attacked by monsters and barely managed to escape.

If you want to go to the kingdom, you have to stop by Endo Village, so you have to go through this road.

“I never thought that would happen…. Why didn’t the report come up to me?”

Benedetta muttered with a sigh.

The way from Lauris to Endo Village is also part of the Kingdom’s territory.

He seemed to feel a sense of responsibility.

Eli Anne asked her peddler, Alessio.

“How can I escort you?”

“Walk around my wagon if you can….”

He looked her in the eye and answered cautiously.

It was the most common type of escort quest in the game.

To protect the load and the peddlers by walking around the caravan.

Since I had to go all the way to Endo Village and then return to Lauris, I started the quest right away.

The cart pulled by one horse was not very fast.

Mountains rose on both sides of the road to Endo Village.

It also felt like a canyon.

‘A chance to get a whistle.’

It is critical that there are no tanks in our party right now.

In the game, Caitlyn functions as an evasive tank.

However, her biggest drawback is that she has no provocation skills.

There is an item that will make up for that shortcoming.

A special whistle that draws the attention of monsters.

You have to beat the bandit and take his whistle.
