Chapter 126: Chapter 126. Provoking...
Myne just step out of the carriage when a knight in charge of guiding come to him, and led him toward the tent allocated to him.
"Lord Myne, this is your tent."
After the knight said that to Myne, he looked around our surroundings restlessly before spoking again in a low voice.
"Although I don't think it will happen, but there's a possibility Lord Claude and his group may do something to Lord Myne. This tent is adjacent to our knights' tents so please call us immediately if anything happens. There is no need to be shy."
"I see, this is really a serious matter, thank you very much that you are doing so much for me, since you guys are here to protect me then I can rest assured. By the way, what is on the menu tonight? You see I am traveling for the entire day, and now dying from hunger," Myne said with a smile to the innocent-looking knight who is trying to make a good relationship with him.
As for Claude and his group, he didn't care, they are just a bunch of monkeys who doesn't know thier place, if they really dare to mess with him, then he didn't mind finishing the game early.
Hearing Myne's question which was completely out of his expectation, The knight was taken aback for a second before he return to normal with a bright smile on his face.
"Haha, Lord Myne, it is our honor that you wanted to eat with us, although our food quality is as good as food made by royal chefs, but you will certainly satisfy after eating that, Sying such The knight led the way and bought Myne to a tent which was little farther from other tents, and a lot of people eating food can be seen in front of that tent.
Even though it is not much late and there is still some time before it becomes completely dark but because those knights have to change shifts with others they are eating earlier.
After which The knight took Myne to the food stall where all dishes were placed.
Those knights who were eating dinner at first become surprised to see Myne as most of the nobles bought thier own servants with them to take care of their needs, but they soon lose interest in him seeing him going toward the food stall while thinking that this noble might be a good person who didn't want to trouble his servants while bringing them to such a dangerous place like Divine Spirit Forest.
"Why is there no meat on your menu? Don't tell me you guys are all vegetarian, and how are you still healthy while eating this kind of stone-like bread? As far as I know, this is the cheapest bread we can find in the market, right? Even Farmers don't eat such an ass-breaking thing that can't digest easily, how can you guys eat this thing?
Your salary cannot be less than that of a farmer, can it?" The more Myne asked, the more the knight who was guiding him would turn red in embarrassment.
"Actually, our original menu wasn't this, but before we assign here for duty we offer two choices, first, we can eat normally, work for 8 hours, and then be free to do whatever we wanted but then we only get the normal salary that every soldier get, and the second choice is that they would reduce our daily life qualities like food, working hours, etc, but in return, we get three times of salary compared to normal, and because the Divine Spirit Forest is very dangerous place and soldier dies here every once in a while, so in order to make more money quickly for our families, all the soldier present here chose the second option, while the remaining soldiers who chose the first choice are currently off duty as their work time is finished some hours ago."
"Sigh, you guys are really too much, anyway, thank you for your guidance, you go and do your work, I am going back to my tent for rest, and if possible please don't disturb me before tomorrow," Myne said with a smile while patting on The knight's shoulder who was guiding him and give him some golden coins for his services.
The knight becomes delighted after seeing so many golden coins in his hands which are equal to his 3 or 4 months of salary, he couldn't help but smile wide from happiness, but then he comes back to his sense, and hurridly wanted to refuse Myne's generous tip for a better impression, anyway,, he knows that rich people didn't take back the money given to other, so he doesn't have any worry, but found that Myne already walks away from him.
"At least now I can give Moolisha a beautiful gift on our anniversary, she would be very happy this time," The knight mumbled happily with a wide grin on his face, and under the jealous eyes of his friends, he hurriedly put away his extra income.
"People really can do anything for family, I wonder if I haven't awakened those powerful skills, will I also struggle for my all life just to earn some pitiful amount of money? Sigh, thank you, god, for giving me those skills, at least now I can live freely instead of wasting my entire life earning money," Myne thought while looking at the orange color sky.
"Let's see where are those nobles," Myne put away unnecessary thoughts and active Presence Detect ( Medium ) and searched his surroundings.
"Hmm, those presences are from the knights whom I just meet, but why are there so many people gathered in the direction of the forest? Are they adventurers those stupid nobles hired for hunting? There are quite a lot of people 1,2,3... around 40 people? Just how much they wanted to win the game? And even if they win, then what?
After all, Sylphy is just one but those nobles who form the team together are a total of ten people how are they going to divide the trophy? Maybe they are already planning how to stab each other back after this matter is over, I guess?"
Just as Myne enters his tent which only has a small bed, a crude wooden table, a chair, and a lot of small insects crawling everywhere, he suddenly feels the presence of a person coming towards him.
Hum? Why the hell is that idiot noble coming to me? Don't tell me he wanted to threaten me so I can give up early and save him a lot of trouble. But this sounds really a good plan, Myne thought while rubbing his chin, and watching Claude walking toward him at a very fast speed.
"Good work commoner, you really dare to come here huh? I have to praise you, you have some courage," Just as Claude opens his mouth he starts spreading poison from his mouth.
"By the way, commoner, your loss has already been decided. Go propose breaking off the engagement to the King. If you do that, let me see... I'll give you a platinum coin, maybe? What do you think? A commoner like you has probably never seen one before, have you?
I can also send you to a very interesting place with my men, there you directly become a man from a boy, and if you like someone there you can say to me and I will give that girl to you, what do you think, I am very generous, right?
Claude said with an evil smile while trying to provoke Myne so if he can give him any chance, he immediately beat the hell out of him, a commoner dare to fight against a noble, this shit really doesn't know his place.
"Ohh such a generous man are you, by the way, I also have a proposal for you, why not you go with your man to whatever place you are talking about, there if you like a girl or maybe a boy then you can say to me I also have a lot of money with me after all my wife is a princess you know right? So I don't mind giving a little bit of money to a beggar.
Oops, I mean a pervert beggar," Myne said with a mocking smile while tosing a silver toward Claude which directly hit on his right eye.
As Myne said that, Claude was wide-eyed in shock before he flew into a rage with his face completely red.
"You bastard!! A commoner like you dare to mock a noble!! I will kill you motherf*cker! Apologies now, and just obediently obey my words, you dirty worm!!!" Saying such Claude with blood red eye in anger, swung his fist, aiming at Myne's face, wanting to beat him the same way he does with his maids.
But of course, Myne wasn't as helpless as his maids who couldn't do anything other than hope for his mercy, just as Claude's fist was about to touch his face, a big fireball size around an adult hume head hit Claude's stomach out of nowhere sending him to fly out of Myne's tent.
Claude after flying out from Myne's tent fall on the ground and roll some meters before stopping. Although Myne didn't attack with all his might to avoid unnecessary trouble, but still his attack wasn't something a weak person like Cluade could withstand, if not for his full body magic equipment which absorb most of the attack power, Cluade might have stayed in bed for a month straight.
Hum, A weak loser like you dare to lay eyes on my wife, why not you go and look your face in the mirror first?
If it is not for your status someone like might not even get a girl for your entire life, let's not talk about getting a princess," Mocking Claude till he start vomiting blood out of anger, Myne nodded his head with a satisfied expression, and ready to walk back to his tent, when he heard Claude voice.
"Y, y, you bastard!!! I will kill you!!!"
"Ohh you already said this before, but now you laying on the ground and I am mocking you, I think you read the wrong script, you should now asking mercy for not killing you, instead of provoking me more," Myne said with a poker face while activating King's Intimidation skill, which made Claude who wanted to say something silent immediately, sweat start falling from his forehead, his body unknowingly shaking as if he shows a ghost in the middle of the night sleeping on his bed while cuddling him tightly with a creepy smile.
Seeing Claude's face which was getting paler and paler with every passing second, even though he didn't use 50% power of King's Intimidation skill, Myne couldn't help but get amazed by this skill power.
If I use this skill with power would this guy directly pee in his pants out of fear? Myne wondered and was just as about to find his question's answer but stop when he saw a lot of knights running toward them.
