◈ 394. [Evil Side] Farm
Lake Kingdom Dungeon Area 10. ‘Farm’.
On this expansive land that suddenly spread out in the center of the city, there were endless rows of fruit trees planted at knife-like intervals.
A barn on one side, rice paddies and fields on the other… … .
A high-end farm exclusively for the royal family, originally supplying food to the royal castle.
Covered with clean glass walls, this facility uses magic to maintain the optimum temperature and lighting for plant growth.
Even now, after the kingdom was destroyed and covered in darkness and monsters, this place is still working.
By the will of the owner who currently occupies this farm.
again.
The terrace of the mansion in the middle of the farm, overlooking this spacious and beautiful farm.
The red wine dripped into a wine glass placed on an outdoor table with a clear sound.
《Do you know the difference between fermentation and spoilage?》
The tall man, who had poured half of his drink into his glass, opened his mouth slowly, straightening the bottle. A deep voice came out of his mouth.
“The principle of both is the same. The germs proliferate, in other words, ‘rotten’. But the results are different. If it rots like that and the taste and aroma deepen, it is fermented.
The man grabbed the glass and swung it around. The red wine spun and spun as if it was about to overflow the inside of the glass.
《It is equally rotten, but if it is in favor of humans, it is fermented, and if not, it is rotten. Isn’t that a very convenient standard?”
《… … .》
《Even corruption has flavor like this wine, there is a harvest time, and there is a trick to aging. Humans do not know the true taste and do not seek to know it.”
The man slowly raised his glass, examining the red liquid in the light of the farm.
“So I tried to enlighten humans with the aesthetics of my corruption. Unable to accept my ideology, humans have turned me into a monster.”
The man chuckled.
《Ohh Tongjaro! They called me a great doctor when I did what they wanted, but when I did what I wanted, they treated me like a plague monster. It’s really arbitrary. I always consistently studied decay.”
《… … .》
“So, as people wished, I became a monster. Using my own body as a breeding ground, I planted all the corruption I studied in my body… … I have become the incarnation of the plague.”
gulp-
The man drank his glass.
After swallowing all the red wine in the glass, the man let out a satisfied exclamation and put the glass down. And I looked across the table.
“This has been a long talk. why don’t you take Except for the sake brewed directly on our farm. It tastes very good.”
《… … .》
《A treasure trove of stir-fry to drink the liquor brewed by the Master of the Plague. Or did your appetite run away when you saw my naked face? Either way, you should understand.”
After wiping his mouth, the man picked up the mask lying next to the table. It was a white crow mask.
The man wore a crow mask and a black bowler hat over it.
The 4th Rank Commander of the Nightmare Corps.
Plague Legion Lord- Raven sat down and looked across.
“So, what’s the business today?”
《… … .》
“I keep talking like that, so I won’t end up talking to myself.”
Sitting across from Raven was a frost giant.
He was very small for a frost giant. It was slightly larger than a normal human.
However, this man is the leader of the Frost Giant Corps and the last king.
Among the beasts of Hell under this lake, one of the strongest was Hraim the Frost King.
Hraim, who had been glaring at Raven without opening his mouth even once, finally lifted his heavy lips.
《I will quit.》
《What do you mean?》
《I will stop living as a dog of your plague corps.》
Hraim, speaking concisely, pushed the chair and stood up. Raven tilted his head to the side and tilted it back.
“In other words, your wife and children who are held hostage by our legion… … Can I take it as meaning to throw it away?”
《… … !》
Hraim turned around with his eyes wide open and growled ferociously.
“For hundreds of years, you have held my wife and children hostage, and treated us frost giants as if they were your servants.”
“I thought it was a cooperative relationship that wasn’t bad.”
《Again, we dispatched troops to capture the succubus queen at your command. But the result was annihilation. Now, the few warriors left in my race have been consumed in vain because of your orders.”
“You speak as if I killed your warriors.”
Fisik, mocking Raven shrugged.
“I asked for cooperation, and you accepted. The reason you were annihilated by the Succubus Queen was because your subordinates were weak.”
《… … .》
《To lose all of his subordinates and to annihilate without being able to catch a single dream horse left alone, even the frost giants are gone.”
At the humiliation inflicted on his face, a terrifying fraud erupted from Hraim’s whole body.
Hraim, who was about to pull out the greatsword kicked in his back and attack Raven, eventually let out a long breath and reaped his morale.
《As of this time, the frost giant corps will end its master-servant relationship with the plague corps.》
Hraim turned around and started walking.
“Those who are held hostage can do as they please. kill or live. It’s not our business anymore.”
《How cold it is, Frost King. Are you going to abandon his wife and children?”
《I don’t think this is the story of you, who held the Frost King’s wife and children hostage for hundreds of years and never returned them, no matter how much they begged and begged.》
Hraim strode out of the mansion in the center of the farm. No, he was trying to get away.
Stumble.
《… … ?》
Suddenly, the vision was lowered.

Hraim, who was puzzled, soon noticed that he was kneeling on the floor. His legs gave out and he collapsed.
“what… … ?》
My stomach is nauseous, and my eyes are dizzy.
Hraim belatedly realized that blood was pouring out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
He gnashed his teeth as he collapsed, bleeding horribly from all the holes in his body.
“I haven’t even tasted the alcohol you offered me, but what is this… … .》
“You sound like an idiot.”
Raven slowly approached Hraim and tapped the mask he was wearing with his fingertips.
《If you were wary of my abilities, you shouldn’t have even breathed in front of me.》
“yes… … bloke… … .》
“Hasn’t it been hundreds of years since you met me face to face? Did you believe that I hadn’t planted a plague in your body?”
I lowered my waist in front of Hraim, who convulsed his entire body,
“Nothing to worry about. Frost King.
Raven laughed dully in a voice that clearly contained ridicule.
“To the hell that your wife and children are waiting for first, you are just going back.”
“this… … disgusting and dirty… … The plague monster… … .》
Hraim glared at Raven until the end and cursed.
“Leave and see. The power of frost… … i won’t forgive you… … won’t… … .》
Those were the last words of Frost King Hraim.
The frost giant fell on his face and stiffened his whole body.
It was the paralyzing poison that Raven had infiltrated his body, so he did not die, but was now captured alive.
And if you are captured alive by the Lord of Plague, there is only one outcome.
《There’s a new good quality ‘field’ for the new plague to grow.》
It is to be part of a ‘farm’ where the seeds of plague are sown, nurtured and harvested.
《A plague that grows in the body of the Frost Giant King. There is no doubt that a great flavor of corruption will be born.”
Raven licked her lips as she inspected the mighty body of the Frost King. I was already looking forward to what kind of new plague would be born.
f*ck!
As Raven snapped his fingers in the air,
cack, cack… … .
Hundreds of crows swarmed, grabbed the Frost King’s body in their claws and began carrying it.
《The Frost Giant Corps have been using their limbs well for a long time, but they are escaping from my arms like this… … Which corps should I enlist next?”
Raven clicked his tongue.
There is no such thing as a ‘army’ under the plague corps.
Flies and crows, rats and worms – As members of the living Plague, they dominate these vectors, but there are no subordinate entities that move with reason and consciousness.
Just being by his side for a long time is addictive, because no one could last long by Raven’s side.
One Man Plague.
A legion alone, a plague alone. That is Raven, the master of plague.
Because of this, the Plague Legion always suffered from a manpower shortage. Even if Raven himself made an alter ego and struggled, the limits were clear.
So, Raven always formed alliances with other corps, and managed them in a way that subsumed them as subordinates.
However, the Werewolf Corps and the Dream Demon Corps, which had formed an alliance at best, were annihilated. Even the frost giants, who had been his subordinates for a long time, had fallen away… … .
《The werewolf remnants and the frost giant remnants will all be used as a ‘field’ for the new plague… … .》
Raven clicked her tongue.
《The dream demon corps we were most looking forward to still haven’t been captured.》
What form will the pestilence cultivated in the body of the mental body, Mongma, take?
As a researcher and seeker, Raven was always curious.
However, the dream demon corps were annihilated by the human players… … Now, the only remaining sample, Salome, was frequently failing to secure.
He dispatched several small legions under his command to capture Salome, who was left alone, but the succubus skillfully escaped each time.
This time, I sent an army of frost giants, but the frost giants were completely wiped out.
《Anyway, as a monster, your legion cannot be revived, Salome.》
Raven muttered lowly as they headed towards the back of the farm.
“Then, how about using it as a basis for my research?”
After all, that’s what a colleague was to Raven.
Weak beings that are polluted with poison and die if left next to them for a long time.
If so, wouldn’t it be better to use it as a field to conceive a new plague?
So, if you’re reborn as a plague that never existed before, and dwells in Raven’s body, you’ll be able to live together forever.
This is what lasting camaraderie was, Raven truly thought.
After moving Frost King Hraim’s body to the appropriate location, Raven sown the seeds of corruption in the Frost Giant’s body.
As if he was genuinely happy, even a hum flowed from under his crow mask.
After finishing all the work, Raven wiped his hands with a reverent gesture, and then headed to the warehouse prepared on one side of the farm.
《The day we sowed a new plague on the body of the King of Frost… … It is impossible not to have a drink at such a monumental moment.”
Although he was the master of the plague that rotted the world with his power of corruption.
He was truly an American drinker when it came to alcohol.
Only fruits and grains were kept clean without using the power of corruption, and it was his pleasure to ferment and mature them with time and effort.
“There was Seondo harvested just in time. It will be special if you drink it with peach wine made last year.”
Excited by the small pleasures that will end the day like that, when Raven opens the warehouse door-
《… … ?》
Raven noticed something was wrong.
There was no
The deepest place in the fruit warehouse. His precious collection of only the rarest, specialty fruits – had vanished cleanly.
“Um, what… … ?》
Looking at the empty cupboard, Raven groaned in bewilderment.
Seondo (仙桃), a peach that grows by feeding on mana.
Among them, the peninsula is said to open only once every 3,000 years. The peach, said to be rarer than any elixir, had disappeared without a trace.
And that wasn’t all.
In addition to that, the precious magical fruits that Raven has been harvesting with great effort for a long time, are bestowed with dozens of preservation magics and stored in the best condition, and all those things that were too wasteful to drink or drink, just to look at them-
does not exist.
brushed off
“how… … .》
Raven’s shoulders trembled with passion.
《Someday a big madman dares to sneak into the depths of this pestilence’s farm and steal… … !》
There were many times when the farm was robbed. Most of the monsters in the Lake Kingdom are full of greed.
However, this was the first time he had ever picked out and stole such a precious special item. It was the first time he felt such anger after being resurrected here in the Lake Kingdom.
Unable to control the power of corruption, miasma boiled over from Raven’s body.
All the other fruits and grains piled up in the warehouse rotted away.
“I will definitely kill you… … ! The one who stole mine too! Even the greedy one! entire!”
Raven boomed in a voice filled with anger and grief.
《I will find and kill them all!》
***
The way to get out of District 10 and enter District 9.
Mason is in the forefront of the reconnaissance, and Salome is in the last row observing the surroundings as well. and i,
crunchy
I’m eating the fruit that Salome got yesterday.
It’s all about eating and living, but you have to do it while eating. Mason and Salome don’t seem to need much supplies, but I can move only when I eat and sleep.
Especially from today, it is entering District 9.
Unlike the 10th district, which exudes a calm atmosphere like the final district, the 9th district is a living hell of misery. The battle will begin in earnest, so supplies are important.
Crunchy!
I took a bite of a peach and opened my eyes wide.
“Wow, what is this peach? It is very delicious.”
“Is it delicious? is it delicious? Whoops. I said I had a hard time trying to get there.”
Salome was smug in the back.
But it’s not empty words, it’s really delicious. Slightly better than canned peaches sold on Earth?
No, the fruits of the earth are the best fruits that have been improved through breeding by leading scholars.
Is it a huge compliment that the fruits of this fantasy world are tastier than those of Earth?
‘Perhaps it’s because of my mood, it seems that my body is full of magical energy.’
After clearing one, the whole body is energized. I looked at Salome and asked.
“Do you have a lot of fruit left?”
“huh! I brought a lot. Don’t worry if you eat it all! You just have to go to that farm again and come back!”
Stealing crops cultivated by others is bad, but… … .
Well, from what I’ve heard, it looks like it’s the fruit that one of the monster corps commanders grew to eat. You don’t have to feel any remorse.
“okay. please don’t It’s delicious.”
“Hee hee, yes! Just leave it to me!”
Salome raised her nose and exclaimed triumphantly.
“If it’s for you, I’ll come back to the farm until it’s gone!”
I don’t know who the owner of the farm is.
Please don’t stress too much about our frost… … .
***
And when we arrived at the place connecting the 10th and 9th districts – ‘Daegyo Bridge’.
“… … ?!”
As we tried to enter over the wide bridge, someone blocked our way.
