Chapter 148: Chapter 148. The OP Catfish Monster
The knight leader didn't care about the adventurers, as they are already surrounded by his men, he looked at Claude with a poker face and spoke in a voice that was no different from threatening, "Lord Claude, are you cheating in the game you personally proposed to Your Majesty? Or Is this entire setup just a joke for you? "
"I did no such thing, Yelled out Claude with a red face either from the shame and embarrassment that he was caught red-handed so easily or from anger that even a random knight dared to talk to him in a loud voice."
"Okay, it doesn't matter anyway, we'll hear your excuse in the capital city, I think Your Majesty will be as interested as me in your story."
The adventurers who before just made the small distance from the nobles, hearing that they were going to meet The King, fled at full speed.
Well this kind of self-awareness is very rare in adventurers, I didn't expect that they would flee after seeing the situation getting out of hand. Maybe they already get their payment from Claude, otherwise, there is a high chance that some of those adventurers wouldn't flee here till they get their money.
And those noble basterds caught so easily by knights, they probably didn't even think of making plan B in case an accident happen, really disappointing, I wonder what their families have taught them other than eating, bullshiting and f*cking, Myne thought while looking at the nobles with a disgusted expression.
"Do not let them get away! Arrest every single one of them!! They are also going to punish for their crime."
The knights who heard the order started moving simultaneously to arrest both adventurers who were trying to escape and the noble sons who were still confused and trying to understand what going on, their little brains in their balls don't have enough thinking power to let them know that they are f*cked up.
Claude, the mastermind behind this grand plan also try fled but was arrested by the knight leader himself before he could even cross 5 meters distance.
"L, let go of me!! You insolent bastard! Let go of me, I warn you, my father will kill your entire family if you dare to arrest or harm me!!!"
Claude who was struggling was pinned down by a few knights, and after getting some slaps on his ugly face by the knight leader, he was bound with a rope.
Sigh, finally this shit is over, now I just want to back to my wives and sleep sweetly while burying my face in their soft boobies, Myne thought with a smile and greeted the knight leader who was coming toward him after arresting everyone other than them him who participate in the game.
"Come to think of it, Lord Myne. We didn't totalise the monsters you hunted because of those nobles, but what should we do with it? Since you went to the trouble to hunt them, why don't we totalise them?
This way we also know how much work you have done, and I also have to write a detailed report of what happened here, so this way you can also impress Your Mejesity by showing him how much you work hard to win this game," The knight leader said with a knowing wink, probably trying to advise Myne that he shouldn't miss such a good chance to impress his Father-In-Law.
I like this guy's serious attitude instead of this friendly and excited one.
By the way, it would be better if I only show them a portion of my all hunting gain, otherwise my Father-In-law might again become curious about my skills, which would be very annoying, Myne thought while rubbing his forehead, then with a forced smile, he spoke to the knight leader, "Well then, since you and your men are so interested knowing about my gain then no problem..."
After which Myne start taking out the monster's body parts from his Inventory one by one, but from other people's point of view he just puts his hand in the ( Empty ) storage bag and takes out the materials.
At first, the knight leader and the surrounding knights had calm expressions, but as the amount accumulated, and soon a small mountain made of various bodies appear in front of them, which tell the truth wasn't a wonderful sight, their expressions changed from curious to surprise.
"Lord M, Myne... Did you really hunt this many?"
"Yes, this kid is really good at finding monsters, so searching for an enemy didn't take much time at all!
So after an entire day of hard work, I manage to hunt some monsters," Myne said politely directly taking Fenrir's children's credit without blinking, it is good that The Little Fenrir on his head neither understand Hume's language properly nor he is interested in their conversation, otherwise he would have started to protest that Myne is taking his praise.
The knights all turned their sight at the same time towards The Little Fenrir, who was yawning "Fuwaa〜" on top of my head lazily while mumbling "When this is going to be over? I want to eat delicious food," in Myne's head.
After they stared at The Little Fenrir for a while, they returned to check the accumulated materials brought by Myne.
I hope they didn't make a big fuss after seeing The Catfish's body parts in those materials, that guy was so powerful, its body parts should be defiantly ultra-premium quality goods.
If the knight leader didn't mention that he would report everything happening here to the Father-In-Law I wouldn't even take The catfish's body parts out, Myne thought with concern, he is really worried that those knights become his die-hard fan and start trying to impress him in order to become his friends after seeing that he can kill such a powerful monster.
After all who doesn't want a friend who has high status and is powerful enough to kick their enemy's asses?
After about 10 minutes passed since the knights started their work, just as Myne was getting bored to death, the knight leader finally saw something unbelievable between other random materials and hurriedly took it in his hand and raised his voice.
"T, t, this is!?? Lord Myne, I don't think it's possible, but is this a Catfish type monster body part?"
"Yes! It's a body part of a catfish I found in a pond in the middle of the forest, that guy was very big and crush me a lot of trouble, Myne said jokingly, The little Fenrir on his head also said "Wafuu", and raised his one paw, showing his support what Myne said.
"Seriously! Sigh, as expected of someone who is approved by His Highness Aniue..." The knight leader said with a forced smile while shaking his head.
"What happened? Is there something wrong with the Catfish monster?" Myne asked confusedly seeing the knight leader behaving weirdly.
Then Myne is told by the knight leader that this catfish subjugation records in the past can be counted. Contrary to its appearance which wasn't anything worth mentioning, its meat has an extremely refined taste and is very delicious because of the abundant amount of magic energy in it, and is very famous among nobles and rich people.
If it is just that then it should not be a big deal, but most importantly its entire body can be considered a treasure trove as every part of its body from small to big can be used one way or another, which made it extremely precious.
However, the difficulty to defeat this guy is as high as the value of its body parts, it requires an extremely large amount of effort to defeat it and to make things harder it usually doesn't really appear on the water's surface, unless you go deep in the water and kill it, there is no way to make fortune from it, and even if it comes to water surface because of its powerful long-range magic attacks, and fast speed, it is literally a nightmare to most of adventurers and knights who want to try their luck on it.
Therefore, although it is a very valuable monster, which can make an average person rich overnight, but considering the time and effort and injuries during hunting it, which is more than enough to neutralise its value to equal to non, that's why it is a monster everyone keeps their distance from.
F*ck, this catfish is more famous than me, although not in a positive way, but still quite cool. I expected that this catfish would be valuable because of how high its levels were, but seem like I still underestimate its true value. I should try to learn more about those types of valuable monsters, so next time I won't gather unnecessary attention, Myne thought while rubbing his chin.
After that, while periodically hearing voices of astonishment raised from here and there, Myne wait for the end of the assessment.
There were still many materials left to check so it took some time, but The Little Fenrir helped him to kill time, most of the time Myne feed him some candy in exchange this little guy show some cute moves of his, which was very funny.
"Wafuu, Wafuu!"
Now I think about it, if this little guy is going to live with me, he will need a nice name, but my naming skill is very terrible, I should discuss it with Aisha and Sylphy once I return. It is after all a knows fact that girls are very good at this kind of thing, Myne thought with a smile.
