I Became an Immoral Child in the Game

18 – 5-Godhead

He approached me with his huge body covered by the cloak of the dark lighthouse.

“Sniff sniff, what is this smell? Where is the smell of burning flesh… Did you say playing with fire?”

I was in a hurry and hid my right hand.

Jin!!!

You don’t have to tell someone to come!

[Sorry, I feel like I’ve lost my temper.]

‘What am I taking away? Hwajeong opened her crotch on her own!’

[What, what?! What are you doing?! How dare this madman say that to my Hwajeong?! Cancel immediately!!]

‘Yes, your anger lies beneath me.’

Ignoring Jin’s feeble headbutt, I greeted Helga.

“You always embarrass me.”

“Do you want to do only the young boy?”

“I heard you went down to Stemwind after the first test?”

It seemed that Helga was having a busy day because of Stemwind’s work.

I felt sorry for him with the cheekbones.

“Something happened and I just came up to the lighthouse village. I wonder if I’m trying too hard to be a senior engineer.”

“I’ll make a suggestion to my father.”

“hahahahaha! You’re too dumb! Do you really want to see my neck fly away?”

“Sometimes.”

The spicy smell of ashes from his clock spread through his nostrils.

“It looks like Stemwind is still falling down.”

“There is no sign of slowing down. The good news is that Master Aidan has developed a method for mass-producing plate glass. If we fix the process a little more, we will be able to farm with glass to prevent ash from now on.”

“……Aidan developed a method for mass production of plate glass?”

“Didn’t you know?”

“Yes, I have no clue.”

Because I developed the technique.

There’s no way Aidan would have stolen something that didn’t belong to him with that personality. It must be Kaniel de Yewitz’s trick.

So, Stemwind is running like that right now?

I tried my best to hide my annoyance at the news from my hometown that I hadn’t heard in a long time.

“Stemwind is not in a frenzy right now. Because of the meeting called by the Commander, all the heads of influential families in the north are gathering in Stemwind.”

“There must be plenty to see, but it’s a pity.”

“Would you like to go down now?”

“Okay. I don’t think we need to add anything to see.”

How did you get the extra time, but throw it away and crawl back into hell?

Helga laughed at my answer.

“Ah, the Knights of the Holy Cross have come to Lothric Village. It seems that they are finally investigating the dungeon you discovered.”

“Anyway, you have to know how heavy the ass of those religious bastards are. When will they pay the reward?”

“The size of the dungeon and the level of danger are investigated and calculated and given. No matter how outdated they are, the name is the Knights Templar under the direct control of the Holy See, so they won’t stand out for money.”

“When I found the dungeon, I was furious, but it seems like a good idea to get money?”

“That’s it, and this is this.”

I was glad to hear this news since I am shutting myself in a remote area.

It feels like my head, which has been hardened, is spinning tight again.

However, it was late and there was still training to be done, so the conversation had to end at this point.

“You must have come a long way, how about going in and resting?”

“I still have work to do. That’s why I came to you at this late hour. Sir Ragnar wants to see you.”

“Wonder Ragnar?”

I asked Helga, raising my eyebrows.

The nobleman asked to see you separately?

Anyway, my status was a candidate, and Ragnar was a lighthouse commander.

Meeting separately could lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

“Tell them that they will meet after the entrance exam is over.”

“It’s important.”

“So I’ll hear about that important thing later.”

“…….”

“What, why, what?”

Do I have to go if they call me?

Since when did the ranks of the North become like that?

Once I stopped snoring, Helga changed her strategy.

“I have something to tell you about the commander’s letter.”

“Yes, you have to put a float on it so the fish will bite.”

Helga’s face seemed to say, ‘Yes, that’s how you do it, son of a b*tch.’

As he left, he told me one thing I had forgotten.

“Brother, happy 15th birthday.”

Oh, today is my birthday.

There are now three years left until Kaniel issues a ticket to Homeland.

I headed for the lighthouse chief’s office, brooding over the impatient feeling I shouldn’t have felt on my birthday.

The Lighthouse Commander’s Office was originally located in the Operations Conference Room of the Humanity Lighthouse Corps.

There was no demonic invasion, so there was no reason to discuss the strategy, so it was being used as the personal space of the lighthouse commander.

“Welcome, Bjorn de Jejeitz.”

He got up and greeted me.

Even the wrinkled eyes around his eyes and his bald hair in a circle couldn’t hide his sharp impression.

“It’s the first time we’ve met like this since the day we came to the lighthouse, Lord Ragnar.”

Even in the middle of the greeting, my eyes went to the large operation board first than Ragnar.

The northern part of the continent of Esteria, the sea, the long drawn enemy ship, and even the homeland.

All maps of the surrounding area were stored on a large strategy board located in the middle of the lighthouse room.

“Everyone who comes here for the first time is always drawn to the plan.”

“It’s pretty elaborate. I must have had a hard time making it.”

“No one knows who built it and when. The achievements of successive lighthouse leaders are not recorded.”

“That’s unexpected. Why don’t you leave a record?”

“A knight’s exploits remain only as a bard’s song.”

He led me to the reception table.

“There are many knights who have been impressed by the 2nd exam. I never thought they would take three subjects at the same time. Should I say the de Yewitz family?”

“There’s nothing to gild that much.”

“I respect you as a soldier.”

Ragnar was an Intermediate Sword Expert.

The stage where a knight with mediocre talent settles down at the end of his life.

It’s safe to say that he devoted his whole life to the sword.

Because of that kind of person, I must be even more in awe of myself for achieving the intermediate level of sword expert at such a young age.

“Those who said Bjorn’s rumors were exaggerated won’t be able to carelessly tease those tongues anymore.”

“You didn’t make fun of me too, did you?”

“Even so, I do not doubt your talent anymore.”

“So, why did you ask to see me?”

“Because of his talent.”

I looked at Ragnar with a face wondering what he was talking about.

He got to the point.

“The Lighthouse of Humanity is a shield that protects mankind from demons, but it is also a vassal who serves the head of the De Yewitz family. The command of the Commander is absolute and cannot be disobeyed. Even if it is quite political.”

“What do you want to say?”

“I dare to guess your motive for applying to the Lighthouse of Humanity, the young boy, he must have wanted to step away from the successor competition in Stemwind.”

“…….”

“My answer is that you can’t.”

Ragnar showed me a torn piece of letter.

It was clearly a letter from my father, Kanniel de Yewitz.

[Do your best to ensure that there are no disruptions to Bjorn de Yewitz’s entrance exam to the Lighthouse of Humanity.]

I smiled as I read the letter with only one line written on it.

This is knowledge.

I meant to get rid of the fact that I took the test to join the Lighthouse of Humanity.

Kaniel DeYevitz has only one goal.

Stable in the North.

If you understand this, you can understand his behavior.

In order to protect the Northern Territory, the sole heir of the Oxburg Empire, Kanniel must eliminate the imperial family that wants to take control of the Northern Territory.

I am a troublesome child to Kaniel as I have the blood of the imperial family.

If I inherit the family and become a marquis, the imperial family will have a reason to snoop.

However, it is not possible to casually break the eldest son’s succession, a long tradition in the north.

Therefore, I have to create a reason for my disqualification.

This is the background that allowed me to take the entrance exam for the Lighthouse of Humanity.

You can join the Humanity Lighthouse as a senior even if you are a sword user.

But what if I don’t join?

It becomes clear evidence that rumors are exaggerated, and furthermore, they become liars who deceive people despite their incompetence.

That’s what Kaniel is aiming for.

Of course, it’s difficult to change the succession plan just by failing the entrance exam, but Kaniel will build up reasons for my disqualification one by one in this way.

Of course, I had no intention of sitting down and suffering.

It was a kind of resistance that I revealed as a sword expert in a somewhat radical and attention-grabbing way.

Rumors are things that come and go from people’s mouths.

I can’t stop all false rumors from spreading, but at least those who witnessed my skills here will refute them.

However, Kaniel’s method was more naive than I expected.

I thought at best it would hinder me from taking the chief’s seat, but you’re more clumsy than I thought?

Kanniel de Yewitz.

I can’t help but admire your pettiness.

“I wonder what you said. Why are you showing me this?”

“Because the Humanity Lighthouse is a knight before being a vassal. As someone who handles a sword, I don’t want to pretend to be with the boy. So please judge for yourself.”

“Your words and actions don’t match.”

“It means to ask for your understanding.”

In any case, Ragnar was also adventurous in his own way.

It’s not easy to have the guts to talk about this with a 15-year-old who has been pushed back in the succession battle.

It was worth taking that courage into account.

After thinking about it, I opened my mouth.

“If you really don’t want to pretend to be with me, do me one favor.”

“What kind of request…?”

“It’s no big deal. You just have to do what’s written in this letter.”

Ragnar asked back as if he couldn’t understand my answer.

“That word…”

“Well, let’s do it as planned. Instead, there are conditions.”
