I Am Raising a Daughter in This Life

Knowing everything (1)

The mercenaries returned.

Although they exterminated all the goblins, they decided it was too dangerous to investigate further.

Still, it seemed that he had the head to judge the seriousness of the abnormal situation he was facing.

The investigation report and additional requests to the guild took some time… … This gap was the time when I could work freely.

Yes, it was the same for those who were secretly working here.

“Damn it, how did you make it?”

“Still, there are no results for poison.”

“Tsk, you deciphered it right away.”

“Looks like they had an excellent alchemist. Thanks to that, I also knew that our poison was lacking.”

A wetland where darkness descends.

The two people, who had been moving secretly, talked in low voices.

They inspected the goblin corpses scattered here and there, and soon gathered several corpses and loaded them onto a cart.

The way he wrapped his body tightly was literally suspicious, and his actions were like a typical villain.

Well, it’s a disgraceful thing, so even in the middle of the night after all the mercenaries have withdrawn, they’re secretly moving.

I, who secretly followed him, would also be suspicious if anyone saw it. It means ‘if you can see’.

“What about the report?”

“The results are clear, so what can I do to tell the truth?”

“It will break perfectly.”

After that, the two of them, without saying a word, pulled the cart and went into the marsh.

There were no signposts and no signs of the road, but they continued onward in familiar steps. As I kept my eyes on the wetlands that deepened the more I did, I briefly recalled the old days.

A time when this wetland was surrounded by complete death.

There was a time when it became a deadly poison swamp in itself and blocked people’s access itself.

It was also the future that would come if I didn’t use my hands.

rattle!

After the wetland, the cart, which met the hard ground, made a sound.

Even so, the cart did not stop, and when it finally arrived, the two of them gathered a cleverly camouflaged bush and revealed a passage leading downward.

Just in case, I was relieved that the location was the same, and I also moved slowly towards the aisle.

And at the back of the aisle… … He gave strength by strangling him from behind, who was watching with a lot of camouflage.

“eww… … uh… … !”

Because it was tightened properly, he collapsed without even making a slight moan, and the other person who was watching from a little distance also knocked it down in the same way and headed for the aisle.

Before opening the lid and going inside, I took out what I was making at the stall and put it on my face.

It was ‘gas mask’.

“Whoa… … .”

Controlled breath flowed through the gas mask, and the field of vision was also greatly restricted, obstructing the senses.

But I couldn’t not use this because the guys inside filled the inside with poison. With my current body, it was a bit difficult to fight while drinking this much poison head-on, so I had no choice but to borrow the power of these tools.

In a sense, they were a more troublesome group than the Dark Church guys.

Upon entering, a dark passageway caught my eye. As I walked slowly through the passage, which was not heavily artificial, the passage suddenly widened.

From there, a very large cavity spread out on the other side of the passage, as if it were the real entrance. As we approached, the downward path and ladder clearly showed that it had been touched by human hands.

As we followed the road leading down, we saw structures of the same shape lined up at regular intervals towards the wall.

They were, so to speak, prisons.

“Kieek!”

“Kiruk, Kiruk.”

“Kyaaa!”

However, the target of confinement was not a human.

A large number of goblins were trapped inside the prison, which was wider than it seemed, and poisonous air emanated from their mouths and noses.

Needless to say, these mutant goblins were artificially created by a group that was secretly working here.

Unusually, despite committing such heinous things, they didn’t have a decent name.

They gave up their names or something.

No matter what their circumstances were, the lower they went, the more terrifying the goblins looked. The face was cracked, the color of the skin changed, and some of the limbs were not in order, and so on, and so on.

It was obvious that the poison he possessed would be even more lethal.

As I kept going down without dealing with those guys one by one, I was able to face the bottom before long. It was a place where there was a thick cloud of green smoke that looked ominous to the eye.

“Whoa… … .”

I took a deep breath, just in case, but the gas mask was perfectly blocking the poison. I’ve made it a few times, but it was worth paying attention to.

After checking, I walked towards one of the passages opened in several places. Able to solve all problems at once… … .

“You think that makes sense?!”

At that moment, a sharp shout came from inside the aisle.

Our poison is invincible.

“Our poison is invincible.”

It can never be detoxified with lesser antidote on the market.

“It can never be detoxified with lesser antidote on the market!”

But the lesser mercenaries deciphered it and killed all the goblins?

“But the lesser mercenaries deciphered it and killed all the goblins?!”

While saying his screaming words in advance, I crossed the aisle where the voice came from and entered the room at the end.

Since he had gathered all the people who were kindly guarding the place, the room was empty.

In the narrow room, there were some data and a communicator on a desk, and numerous levers hung on one wall.

It was the perfect thing to stir up confusion here.

Instead of taking them down one by one, I hit the wall next to it hard twice, and there was a clicking sound.

Right after that, the levers with the safety devices unlocked moved down all at once, and a weak vibration shook the space.

After quickly killing the presence and hiding in a corner, he listened to the outside. Judging from the fact that only one person’s voice was still heard, it seemed that they were still longing for it.

But that’s for a while.

It wasn’t long before a commotion started to spread, and the sound of busy movement was heard.

“Damn it, how are they!”

“hurry! Raise your weapon quickly!”

“That poison is lethal to us too! You can’t even touch it!”

“Kyaaagh!”

The sounds of people mixed with the sounds of monsters clearly showed that the situation was urgent.

Those levers were the devices that opened and closed the doors of the prisons where the goblins were confined. Since they opened all at once… … A funny thing is going to happen.

I left the room with my body lowered and slowly made my way towards the joint. The commotion grew as we approached, and the poison smoke that flowed out was thicker than before.

Thirty people struggled against hundreds of goblins.

Numbers were numbers, but the goblins had deep hatred and anger towards those who experimented on them, and were running after them, ignoring their lives.

In addition, the poison these guys were harboring was more heinous than the objects on the ground.

It was all the more so because even those with some degree of poison tolerance were trying hard not to get hurt.

Casualties began to pile up little by little on both sides as it was in a strange balance.

The results that were close to the destruction I wanted were coming out, so I decided to add a little touch to it. Moving as if hiding from the poison smoke, I put a knife in the neck of the guy who was dealing with the goblins, and then hid myself again.

And this time goblin, next time… … He also balanced the two powers by cutting down goblins and people.

However, in the end, the war ended with the superiority of humans.

“How are these guys… … !”

“Was there more to come than that? No matter how much Karga-sama doesn’t exist… … .”

“Because these are careless! Showing worse than the mercenaries means that your vengeance has faded!”

“Brothers, please rest in peace in the arms of Mother Earth.”

There were only about 10 people with all sorts of complaints.

Originally, it was a small scale, but if you only measure the risk, it was quite serious.

If left as it is, they will further improve their poison and turn mutant goblins and the like into sidelegs.

The level of danger increases rapidly enough to turn the wetland above into a poisonous swamp, eroding an area several times larger and making the entire area a no-entry zone.

And even more heinous beings hidden in the depths of this place.

To be honest, I wanted to leave it a little longer for the experience of when Rize grew up and became active, but… … I couldn’t let him go through such a dirty situation here, so I decided to solve it now that I had the opportunity.

“Wait, that guy… … ?”

“As expected, there was an intruder!”

“Avenge your brother!”

The guys who found me standing up after robbing the seat each grabbed their weapons and rushed at me. Along with him, some threw poisoned throwing weapons.

Of course, they weren’t that strong.

Dealing with the deadly poison was intimidating, but if you could read and dodge it like this, the goblins and them were no different.

I lightly dodged the flying throwing weapons as I approached and killed them one by one.

The moment I put a knife through the last guy’s neck like that.

“Neonooum! What kind of guy are you?!”

Just like always, a deafening voice came.

Shaking off the blood, I turned around to see a middle-aged man bigger than Douglas walking towards me.

That guy was that Karga.

Unusual hair tied up on both sides, unusual outfit not seen in the Empire. In addition, he was stronger than anyone else here, and the energy he exuded was enough to make his skin tingle.

In terms of mercenaries, S-class has a fighting power that can easily be surpassed.

He held a large sword in one hand and opened his mouth, framed by his wild beard, eyes flashing.

“Are you a bastard of the empire?”

“no.”

“Then why did you make us this way?”

“Because I don’t like your cowardice.”

Crunchy!

At my reply, Karga bit his teeth hard enough to make a sound, then thrust the tip of his sword at me.

“Brothers! Will you avenge the enemy by sacrificing his head! Watch from the bosom of Mother Earth so that you can accomplish a great cause!”

Along with that, a hideous poison energy flowed from his body, and some of them were entangled in a large sword.

How much did you suffer because of it?

It was this man who had come the furthest way back in my entire life to take me down.

Deadly poison flowed from every part of his body, and even his weapons were covered in poison, and with each breath he breathed poisonous energy into the air.

In a way, it could be said that she was similar to Claire, but there was a big difference in her physical strength.

His innate physical ability, unrivaled skills, and body perfected as a warrior made him one of the strongest players on the continent. Because poison was added to it, it could become even stronger and more deadly.

“I think I came quite prepared… … You will realize that it is all futile struggle.”

Karga, who spoke arrogantly, immediately rushed in and swung his sword. It was a difficult speed to react to, but I naturally ducked and avoided it as if I had come to an agreement in advance.

Avoid, avoid, avoid again.

As I continued to avoid the fast and threatening attacks, Karga’s expression frowned and pushed me even harder.

The difference in skill was clear, but I placed my sword on the pre-drawn path and avoided the attacks.

No matter how much I pushed him, not a single wound healed, so he gradually noticed that something was wrong.

“You bastard, how are you avoiding it? With that much skill, what!?”

“Because you know everything.”

It was a face he could not understand, but he would never know it anyway.

How long have I been fighting against this guy, how many years, no, decades, have I spent trying to defeat just one?

But also… … .

Fish! wickedness! Spaw!

My body still hasn’t caught up.

It was partly because the gas mask made my senses dull, but my inexperienced body was still a stumbling block.

If more years had passed, it would have been easier to deal with because his limbs were melting because he couldn’t overcome the poison he had stored in his body… … .

Now could literally be called his heyday. Yeah, it’s comparable to when I was in my prime.

The poison dealt with was also more deadly in the future, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t threatening even at this point.

That’s why Karga relaxed and laughed as if everything was over.

“Geuk, you finally got hurt. No matter how much you cover your face, can you withstand the poison injected directly into your body?”

“… … .”

“Now, immerse yourself in pain! This is a special poison that hasn’t even been tested on goblins yet! hahahaha, can’t it be that you can’t hear it already? If not, beg for mercy. Then take my own life… … .”

“As expected, it still stings.”

At my calm voice, Karga stopped laughing and froze. I knew what those trembling eyes wanted to say, so I put the answer in my mouth in advance.

“You know everything?”
