I Became an Immoral Child in the Game

5 – 2-Looking for a giyeon

The wagon rolled on non-stop.

The trip was boring.

If you look at the mass market, you will always be attacked by bandits or henchmen on your travels, but unfortunately there is no such thing in the north.

This is because all idiots living in the north who have the intelligence to try to plunder the Knights of the Lighthouse of Humanity have already been eliminated by nature.

The trip was long and boring, so I often called Helga inside.

At such times, Helga grumbled in the same repertoire.

“I don’t understand. You support the Humanity Lighthouse.”

“What? Is it difficult to understand why a man wants to learn swordsmanship and become a knight?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to join another knight order and start as an apprentice knight? A smart person like Bjorn probably doesn’t know the notoriety of the Human Lighthouse entrance exam.”

Actually, Helga was right.

The Ark was different from other Knights and the Humanity Lighthouse.

In order to know where they are different, we first had to explain the affiliation of the Humanity Lighthouse and the background of their birth.

If you go up the history of the lighthouse of mankind, at the end of it, you will find the first king of Esteria, the royal knights of the first king.

The first king was from the seaside of Homeland, the home of mankind, and all around him were sea people who drank salty water.

The first kingdom disappeared, but some of its royal knights survived and struggled to defend humanity at the end of the continent of Esteria.

That was the origin of the Humanity Lighthouse.

In other words, the Humanity Lighthouse had the character of a marine as well as a knighthood.

Especially when assigned to the lighthouse village, they had to go out to sea by boat to patrol every day, and they had to be familiar with the sea because they had to use decoys to slow the advance of demons in case of emergency.

So they thought surviving in the sea was just as important as swordsmanship.

The entrance exam for the notorious Humanity Lighthouse was to adapt to the sea.

It’s like a modern navy seal.

Moreover, the Humanity Lighthouse Corps was formally a direct organization with the emperor as the highest commander.

So the head of the Humanity Lighthouse was called the commander, not the leader.

Of course, the Emperor was only a formal commander, and in reality he was a Knights Templar owned by the Djejitz family, but that didn’t mean he accepted clumsy people.

Because of this, the emperor tried to summon Kanniel to the capital by giving him the title of duke in order to properly place the great human race under his command.

This story is a game of setup, so let’s skip it. Anyway, the important thing is that this entrance exam is so dangerous that some people die every year.

It wasn’t a test that a 14-year-old could handle.

“Why? It’s embarrassing for me to be a subordinate? Just be at ease, Chief Engineer Helga.”

“No, that’s not it!”

“Honestly, it’s not a test that a 14-year-old would take on. But you know that it’s a piece of cake for a sword expert.”

No matter how difficult and notorious the entrance exam was, as with other knights, being a sword user was enough to pass.

To the sword expert, the backbone of the knights, it was no different from child’s play.

Recognizing the meaning of not spinning the horse around, Helga sighed and confessed his true feelings.

“Bjorn-sama has everything. Not only a talent for swordsmanship, but also a brilliant mind. I don’t think Bjorn-sama has a need for swordsmanship alone.”

“Thank you for worrying about me, but that decision was made with that brilliant mind. I hope you believe in me.”

“……If you say that, I will trust you and follow you.”

And so the carriage rolled and rolled, and four days later it arrived at a village beyond the direct territory of Djeevz.

It was a small village with only one old inn for travelers.

“Let’s rest here.”

I said to Helga, looking out of the wagon.

It’s long before the sun goes down.

Helga asked with her puzzled face.

“If you speed up now, you can rest in the castle tonight.”

“I like this place.”

“If you feel offended by my remarks that went way too far, I apologize.”

“You’re not complaining?!”

“Ha, I see.”

It seems that Helga has decided that her adolescence is the whim of her little boy.

I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.

The name of this little town is Lothric.

This village, which earns its living by farming, is enjoying an unprecedented boom thanks to the recent discovery of a corundum mine.

And later, Bjorn de Yewitz, who sold his soul to the devil, made friends with the swordsman Landeros here.

Landeroth’s holy sword Gargdubal got stuck in the mud along with the corpses of demons.

The deserter who picked up the sword ran away and became a meal for a wild beast.

Garg Duval falls into the hands of a young woodcutter who lives with his grandmother in a cabin in the woods far from the town of Loth Lick.

He was Mion, the main character of 「Esteria War」.

I set foot in the town where the main character of “Esteria War” Was born and where the epic story began.

As she exited the carriage, ash flew in her face.

I put on a clock hood and attached a clamp.

When I put on the cloth mask, a musty smell came over me.

People here covered their bodies with gray cloaks because of the ashes that were blown on fictitious days.

As a result, even close friends could not tell who was who.

For this reason, he drew a large pattern on his back and left chest to indicate his identity.

It was a medieval version of ‘Do you know who I am?’

My clock did the same.

The pattern of the De Yewitz family, which was embroidered on my back, created a great sense of intimidation in the small village.

The villagers didn’t even dare to look straight at me, but glanced at me from a distance.

As expected, the inn was cramped, with only a handful of rooms.

We couldn’t accommodate all the lighthouse knights, so most had to camp nearby.

“I’ll camp out too.”

Tonight, I had to visit the place where the main character got a chance.

It was better to sleep in the campground if you were going to move secretly at night.

Then Helga tripped over her and fell.

“No.”

“Why?”

“With ashes falling like this, who would want to sleep in an inn if we put Bjorn-sama outside?”

“I will soon become an apprentice knight of the Lighthouse of Humanity. What does that matter? Do you plan to treat me like this then?”

“I don’t know then, but not now.”

His tone was quite determined.

But I had no intention of wrestling with useless protocol.

“Since I forced myself to stay here, it makes sense for me to sleep outside.”

“The Lighthouse of Humanity is an order of knights serving the de Yewitz family. It is our duty to follow anyone’s orders.”

“Anything like that, when I tried to rest here earlier, I couldn’t manage my expression?”

“……Kheum, sleep inside anyway.”

“Are you following any order from the De Yewitz family?”

“It’s just as important to serve the de Yewitz family.”

“Tell me. Is it more important to follow orders or to serve?”

Anyway, it was a game that I insisted on.

After the commotion passed, I made a small tent in the camp and lay down.

And then I ruminated on the contents of the novel 「Estria Electric」.

Mion must have lived in this area as a woodcutter.

During the invasion of demons, she finds a dead soldier cradled on her hind legs near her house, unable to do anything because her grandmother, who is senile and unable to climb the rugged journey, is tied to her feet.

And soon, pursuers aiming for the holy sword catch up with Mion.

Mion runs away with the holy sword to save her life.

The place they arrived at was the Corundum Mine, which restored the vitality of the town of Lothric.

The main character, Mion, enters the mine.

And there he meets Jin, who was sealed away by demons.

The seal, which had weakened over time, was shattered in response to the holy sword, and Jin, who had been dormant for a long time, revealed its splendid appearance to the world again.

You have unsealed me.

In return, I will grant you one wish.

So tell me.

Jin spoke to Mion in a trembling voice.

Then Mion made a wish to Jin.

Please send me to a safe place.

I couldn’t help but feel terrible when I read this passage.

No matter how frustrating the development is, it’s a standard version, but that’s what the wish to the great Jin is.

At least they told me to kill the pursuers.

Whatever my opinion, this is Mion’s wish in 「The Legend of Esteria」, And Jin listens to his wish and leads the way to a nearby church.

After that, Jin did not appear again until the part I read in 「The Legend of Esteria」, But the powerful power of Jin could be inferred from folk tales.

In a folktale, it is written about Jin like this.

[There are beings who descended from the divine realm to stop the demon king.]

[Draigonak, the first dragon in charge of the world’s truth.]

[The world tree that deals with the harmony between nature and living things.]

[The Jin of the Flame descended to compete with the devil.]

Although he fell into the devil’s trap and was sealed, Jin’s power was transcendent and absolute.

Tonight, my goal was to unseal Jin and make a wish.

If I can get at least the tip of a miracle from Jin, I might be able to find another way in my future, which is heading straight to death.

For example, in the southeastern part of the continent of Esteria, which is famous for its vineyards, he built a huge mansion and ate beautiful maids day and night soaked in wine and brandy.

A few hours sitting in a tent and meditating to gather mana in Danjeon.

The sun went down, and only the footsteps of the lighthouse vigil were quietly echoing around.

A late night.

I got up slowly.

The location of the corundum mine was confirmed during the day.

It was located halfway up a hill nearby.

When I opened the wooden door and entered, the inside of the mine, which was wider than I thought, welcomed me.

Even if an adult man straightened his back from the entrance, his head could not touch the ceiling.

The mine was a structure that became wider as it went inside.

It was more like a cave than an artificially dug mine.

Several naturally formed stone pillars were firmly supporting the ceiling, and wooden planks were attached to the road for people to pass through.

I ended my tour of the mine at this point, and I closed my eyes and read the flow of magical power.

If you sealed the camp of flames, the sealed camp must be releasing a huge amount of magic power.

No matter how thick the cave walls are, you won’t be able to hide them at all.

My expectations were met exactly.

As I walked through the mine, picking up the outer walls, I felt a cold aura build up on my fingertips.

An amount so small that others would consider it to be just a natural flow of mana.

Even I, who knew what was hidden here, almost missed it.

“Here.”
