I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess

41 – Requitas, the Lawless Zone (1)

Requitas, the Lawless Zone.

Nowadays, the city is much more famous under the nickname ‘Lawless Zone’ than its original name.

In the slums of Requitas, it was widely rumored that a handful of pieces of bread could kill a person.

Corpses are strewn about like stones in an alley with a coppery smell, and people don’t think anything of the corpses.

To them, the corpse was no different from trash lying on the side of the road. In fact, even themselves.

A den of evil where more than half of the city is said to be involved in crime.

A criminal who cannot live in an ordinary place. A sewage treatment plant for society where mercenaries who broke their contracts and deserters who were afraid of the battlefield flow into it.

Even the emperor, who claimed to be the father of the empire, paid no attention to the land, and a terrible smell of alcohol wafted through the land.

“Give me one more hit!”

“Damn you! How many times have you been hit by that and are you already begging? “If you waste my money, know that your mouth will be torn apart!”

“Khahahaha! Yes! “Pull out my eyes!”

A bar that sells cheap hard liquor.

Two men punched each other on the shabby wooden floor.

No matter how many times they had already exchanged violence, both of them had red scars and blood stains on their faces.

Not only the onlookers but even the bar owner seemed to have no intention of stopping the fight.

On the contrary, the owner seemed to welcome this unexpected fight.

To be honest, the alcohol he sold was not very tasty, and selling a lot of bad alcohol required an interesting spectacle.

Thanks to this, there was a fight every day in this bar.

It wasn’t a gang fight with a dozen people attacking each other, and it wasn’t anything special to see two violent men fighting.

Therefore, a special event meant a slightly different type of event.

For example, a neatly dressed man and woman enter this shabby place.

A prosecutor who gives off a dangerous vibe even on the outside. The young lady wore a veil so as not to show a single strand of hair or an eye, showing how precious her body was.

As soon as the two people entered, the bar became quiet. Even the men who had been fighting for a while stopped fighting for a moment.

Only two people moved leisurely in the frozen time.

The prosecutor took a seat near the owner, and the young lady followed without a word and took the seat next to him.

Three silver coins were placed in front of the owner.

“Have a drink of whatever you’re confident in. “For the girl next to me, just cold water is enough.”

“It seems like a lot of money for that.”

“Isn’t it good to receive a lot?”

“If you only want to buy alcohol.”

He was an experienced man.

He may have had no choice but to be skilled in order to run a ‘bar’ in this rough place.

Instead of hastily grabbing the silver coin, he grabbed his drinking glass in his hand.

“At my bar, if you order the confident person or the most expensive person, there is a drink that is always served. “It’s called ‘Tomorrow’s Tears.'”

“I’m curious about the etymology.”

“If you drink one drink, it means you will wake up tomorrow. “He’s a pretty toxic guy.”

Beneath the white beard, the wrinkled mouth burst into laughter.

Suddenly he took a silver coin.

“I don’t want to be seen as a member of the same group, so I’ll give it my money’s worth. Watch the back of your head.”

At the same time as he said that, the prosecutor stretched out his arm backwards.

It seemed like he didn’t even check properly, but his hand precisely grabbed the club and snatched it away.

The series of processes seemed as easy as stealing a child’s toy.

The owner decided to take his attention off the prosecutor.

Because I could see what would happen in the future too clearly to be curious.

“Looks like I’m going to make a bit of a fuss.”

“It’s okay. Just don’t splatter too much blood. “It’s difficult to clean.”

“Listen carefully.”

The prosecutor swung the stolen club as if it had originally belonged to him.

The first attack was the arm, then the ribs, and finally the temple in an instant. And it was priced exactly.

There was no sense of discomfort in the flowing movements.

At his waist was an ordinary long sword.

What if what he was holding in his hand was that sword?

The moment the thought reached that point, the attacker’s feet naturally took a step back.

It was meaningless.

The prosecutor closed the gap at once and knocked the man unconscious with one blow.

The two men were sprawled out on the floor in a comical manner.

‘Are you reluctant to commit murder?’

The owner had doubts.

Even though that person touched him first, he didn’t kill anyone.

You wouldn’t know it if they got into a fight and got into fist fights, but such an attack was the same as a robbery.

Even if they were killed, it would not be a blemish at all in this lawless region of Requitas.

“These are ‘tomorrow’s tears.’ “It looks like you’re busy, so I’ll just leave it where it is.”

A drinking glass left on an empty seat. The girl who had been quiet until now showed interest.

Tomorrow’s tears were a seemingly plausible cocktail. The filling was mostly cheap rum, but its turquoise appearance seemed mysterious at first glance.

That was when the young lady raised her drink.

The young lady’s mind was completely consumed by alcohol, and the prosecutor was pushing the sprawled men to a corner.

In other words, it meant that the conditions were perfect for another attack.

A few thugs approached behind the young lady, and soon the sound of a chair falling to the floor was heard.

The chair had fallen along with the person.

The owner glanced away.

“It is quite difficult to remove three corpses in one night. “Can I have one more silver coin?”

“Chief Noh Ik is very resourceful.”

“I can’t do it otherwise.”

“Hagiya.”

There was exactly one dagger stuck in the back of one guy’s head.

But were there three who fell? At first glance, it seemed like the young lady was muttering something in a low voice.

Does that mean people die? The owner was curious, but an old intuition stopped him. In the end, no one could touch those men and women.

He was a man who knew the virtue of moderation.

The prosecutor sat down again.

His breathing did not change at all, as if nothing had happened.

“I will give you every penny, so would you please return a drink to the store?”

“I have enough money, but what kind of relationship do I have with them?”

“It means pretend that you took a bribe from us. “If you bother me any more, I’ll be throwing a drink on your grave.”

“It means to be quiet. “I understand.”

The owner knew well how to deal with the drinking customers of Requitas.

His fist banged! He hit somewhere in the cupboard.

“Either these guests take a drink each and drink it, or come at me with a knife right now! “He wants to take care of all of you!”

“I don’t remember saying that.”

“Think of it as the industry’s way of speaking. Just as you use an old-fashioned way of speaking, we also have our own way of speaking. If you tell them this much, they will think, ‘Ah, I just came here to drink quietly.’”

“That’s fun. I think I chose the right bar. But who drank this?”

“The lady next to me.”

The prosecutor made eye contact with the young lady.

Although the lady’s face was hidden by the cotton thread, at least the owner felt that the two people’s eyes met.

A beautiful voice rang out for the first time.

“It wasn’t tasty.”

“That’s not what I’m curious about.”

“It’s because they don’t let me drink all the time. “I was especially curious about the taste of this one.”

“What should I do about your bad drinking habits? You must have been at the mercenary camp the other day…… “

“If I say any more, I might kill everyone in this bar. “For my honor.”

“… ….”

Even though she is a lady from a noble family, her speaking style is not necessarily old-fashioned.

The owner laughed.

The prosecutor’s hand was in his field of vision.

His palms were half-gloved, but there were calluses all over his fingers.

And that calm attitude toward everything. Aside from looking young, there was no doubt that he was an overwhelmingly skilled swordsman.

At least it was never at a level that these low-level thugs could reach.

Now that I think about it, something like this happened sometimes.

The flow of absurdly talented people into this lawless city.

It is natural that bloodshed arises every time that happens. The owner decided to close the store for a while.

Right in front of me was a place where I could get a lump sum of money.

“The taste of the drink was disappointing, so I guess you need some words from this old man.”

“Depending on the contents, I plan to buy it at a higher price.”

“I was very happy to hear that. “As people get older, their intellect increases, so I have a general idea of what happened around here.”

“So, are you good at finding people?”

A person.

As expected, the owner smelled the strong smell of blood from those words.

I didn’t think it would end well if I got too involved.

“I’m getting old and can’t go looking for you. Since the customer is young, I think it would be better to look for him in person.”

“For what it sounds like, Noh Ik-jang is in pretty good shape. “Your forearms seem to be thicker than mine.”

“Just going out for a drink in the morning. So, who are you looking for in this dump?”

“It must be a pretty old name. The period is about 4 years. “Can you think of it?”

“I haven’t developed dementia yet. “It’s still 4 years old.”

At that moment, the prosecutor and the young lady exchanged looks.

Unspoken conversation. The owner decided to wait quietly for the two people.

Vacation plans were gradually forming in his head.

Can I pack my bags slowly and leave tomorrow?

In fact, the three silver coins I received earlier were enough to generate a month’s worth of sales for this shabby store.

“The name is…… I definitely said it was Keylux. “They say he was a former ranger deserter and was a bit of a force in this city.”

“It’s a familiar name. It’s definitely been about four years. “I heard he died after receiving a request somewhere.”

“I have some connection with Keylux. I would like you to let me know the people involved. The examples are very generous. So much so that I’m not upset.”

The owner seemed to finally know those two.

Those two people were avengers. He also harbored a deep-seated desire for revenge.

He changed his plan.

Escape this city as quickly as time allows. It would be a good idea to leave tonight.

There was a very calm storm in front of us.
