Blasphemy
Chapter 7: The Other World
The horizon looked endless black. The sky is always as dark as the darkest night. The color of ash in the sky kept rolling, whether it was clouds or fog.
No day or night, no time here.
Forests that have lost their lives for hundreds of millions of years. The towering trees left only a trunk and bushy branches. There was a lot of something like a spider's nest hanging on a tree, but it couldn't have been a spider's nest.
There were swamps everywhere, one two bubbles occasionally emerging from the mud. Skeletons sometimes go up and get swallowed by mud.
The wind carried a damp air and a cold, foul smell was blown from time to time.
This was another world, a heaven of the dead and demons.
Temptress Moon had no idea how long she had been walking in this forest. He can't remember where he came from, just remember that a creature named ‘Roger’ named himself ‘Temptress Moon’. Temptress Moon felt like vomiting due to her name, but also did not know where those feelings came from. While vomiting also feels familiar, but he does not remember how to vomit. What can a skeleton spit out?
The dim speckled sky light illuminated the ground and the Temptress Moon. He just wanted to get out of this forest, but didn't know how to get out. Maybe it's instinct.
Temptress Moon could feel the energy coming from the person named ‘Roger’, also knowing that he could not refuse Roger's orders. There were many things that Temptress Moon could not understand in this world. However, this energy made him feel very comfortable and energized, but too little. He was like a helpless traveler waiting for a drop of water to fall in the desert.
Temptress Moon was thirsty.
Carrying his rusty blade, Temptress Moon wandered aimlessly in the forest. He had forgotten where he had found this knife. He carefully avoided some places. His instincts tell him that the creatures there are very powerful and evil. Temptress Moon was very intelligent, he would think of a way to take down another skeleton if it met them, as they carried an energy that made him thirsty.
No matter what day, Temptress Moon found some good quality bones. After the mist passed, these bones completed his ribs into 24 stalks. Temptress Moon felt that her ribs should be 24. The addition of the ribs depletes the energy that Temptress Moon saves. Were it not for the energy coming from Roger, Temptress Moon would not have known if she could face the first zombie she encountered.
The fight lasted a long time. The power of zombies could not be resisted by Temptress Moon. After paying with three ribs, Temptress Moon finally realized that the zombies were unable to catch up to her. So a skeleton began to surround the zombie and occasionally cut off its rotten flesh. When the zombie fell, Temptress Moon's ribs were left with less than 20.
Skeletons and zombies in other worlds did not seem to bother each other when they met. Temptress Moon did not know why she wanted to hit those who were lonely every time she saw him. I'm hungry, thought the skeleton.
There is no time in the other world. Temptress Moon continued to wander. He did not know how long he had been wandering around, nor did he know how much longer he had to do so.
The forest is endless.
After a war in a small building, Roger felt drawn to a skeleton that could pretend to be dead. In the middle of the night, on the second floor of the small building, there was often one person and one skeleton standing face to face. After trying many times to communicate with spiritual power and to no avail, Roger ended up losing interest.
Roger had no idea where the skeleton blade came from. After a long time of researching and no results, he was lazy to do it again.
The weather's getting hotter. Without feeling it, Roger had passed his twentieth birthday, it was time to leave the magic academy. A few more days are exam days. In recent months, Roger has read half of the thirty land history rolls while reading adventure biographies, travel notes, and various other types of records.
Ed, who passed the magic academy exam three months ago, is now trying to become a magic knight. Just being a witch was too much of a waste of her size. Kate becomes a fairly strong level five knight under her father's training. Judging from his beliefs, both father and son should be among the knights of darkness. While Lance and Franco, their swordsmanship was also progressing. Less so, they both spent money that was usually wasted on women, artwork, and alcohol on their equipment so that their increase in strength levels far exceeded their actual levels.
The weather is hot, people feel hot. On the day of the exam, Roger cast Fire Finger magic in the exam room, then he was considered to pass and got a magician robe. In the afternoon, she registered with the Magic Union located in the city, then became a level one magician officially. If willing to listen to the call when the Rhine League needed it, Roger could get 5 gold coins per month as an allowance. But Roger, who has read a lot of history, has other great ideals now.
“Ting!” A few glasses of wine clinked.
“We haven't been together for a long time because there are killers everywhere. Let's drink to a hangover today!” Ed, who was like a bear, was taller than Kate who was a knight. He raised the wine glass and then straightened it all up. Kate looked energetic and positive. His face was red from drinking. Lance and Franco were also handsome, but that was normal among nobles. After all, the noble mistresses were pretty-pretty.
Some of these people had a critical period together for the past half a year so their friendship was close enough.
“Bros, I'll take office in Farburg tomorrow. We can't get together any more next time, Aish. You must visit me often, the cost of travel is certainly your own responsibility.” Kate looks moody.
Franco says, “Farburg? The one near the Demon Forest, right? There are a lot of thieves around. Listen, the Duchy of Ron also has a small group of scouts who often pass through the Demon Forest to move there. Careful.”
Kate drank a sip of wine and said, “My father forced me to gather military service there so he could easily push me. Moreover, the knight chief stationed in Farburg was a close friend of my father. He can take care of me. He even gave me black elf armor at his house this time. Haha, steady!”
“Bros, Farburg is a great place!” Roger was excited. He stepped on the chair, then said harshly. “That place is close to the Demon Forest and there are many adventurers in the front line. This time Kate will be the big cavalry captain .. eh, little captain there? Doesn't matter, isn't the knight chief your relative? We can develop well. Just think, what do adventurers, monster hunters, even soldiers need? The guns! Wouldn't we be rich if we opened a gun shop? This thing is not easy for others to make, there are many restrictions, then what limits do we have? Just think, how did the people who entered the Demon Forest make money? Right, hunting monsters to sell their crystal cores or feathers. We can't hunt monsters, but we can buy their prey. Those things will be made as very good materials by Faith. We can sell it to adventurers after turning it into magic equipment. Without even moving we can have them remove several layers of skin.”
Lance was also excited. “There are two hundred thousand people in Farburg and it is estimated that there are many beautiful women. With Kate there, we don't have to live as hard as in the capital and no small official. Anyway, I have no business either. Roger, I'll partner with you.”
“Your eyes sparkle when talking about adventurers. Did the girl last time not make you kapok?” Ed looked at Lance while chuckling.
“Sial, why am I so unlucky? My crotch was kicked so I couldn't touch a woman for a month. Goddamnit! Didn't he finally feel my greatness?” Lance said as he gritted his teeth.
“Is the girl still with you?” ask Franco.
“Of course, he's well guarded. How can he be released so easily? He almost made me unable to have any offspring! Hows it? Will you stay at my place tonight?” Some of the people at the table were grinning.
They're drinking in a minute. Aside from Kate, the rest are unemployed, so they decide to open a gun shop and buy adventurer hunts in Farburg. Kate left first, the rest packed their stuff, then followed in a few days. Faith was also invited by Roger, but the items in his laboratory could not be moved in an instant.
At midnight, a few rascals of the state capital came out of the beer tavern with wine in their robes. When they walked into the dark alley, several figures dressed like adventurers with covered faces suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
“Basic bastards! You are truly sinners! I'll get revenge for Stephy today!” Some of the evil youths sighed. They had already heard such an opener at least seven or eight times.
Some people with covered faces took out their weapons and a witch outside the siege started to cast spells.
An arrow suddenly shot into the witch's chest. Roger is now known as the witch killer. Some people took out weapons from under the cloak. They're not like drunk. Under the cloak was a complete weapon. They compactly rushed towards someone with their face covered. The man was shocked, he rolled up and fell into a ditch by the roadside, successfully avoiding the death invitation. The bastards of the state capital immediately ran away from the siege. I don't know who threw a small bag of soybeans, made the ambushers fall and could only see them disappear in the middle of the night.
