Chapter 379 – 379. God’s Atlantis
379. God’s Atlantis
Area 3008, Platinum Lake, as the name suggests, is a lake with platinum at the bottom. If you look under the transparent lake, where you can see the inside, you can see the sparkling platinum that makes up the bottom.
It is platinum that fuels people’s greed, but it was impossible to recklessly dig platinum. This is because if you mine platinum without the permission of Duke Elena Baldert, the ruler of this area, you will be cursed.
In addition, it is an act of turning the duke into an enemy. Those who are in their right mind don’t try to dig platinum in Platinum Lake even if their lives are precious.
Anyway, this Platinum Lake is very beautiful from the outside, so Area 3008 has recently been in the limelight as a resort.
I arrived at the village right in front of Platinum Lake with Okjeong, whom I met on the road.
“Is this your first time traveling alone?”
“Yes. When I was traveling, I moved with my Legion colleagues…. This time, by chance, I came alone.”
“How come?”
“Ah, that….”
Okjeong hesitated as if in trouble.
“Sorry. Excuse me. Everyone wants to travel alone at least once.”
“No. I went out on my own, but things didn’t work out in the end…. Ha. Why did this happen….”
“I think Mr. Okjeong is great. Traveling alone is not easy. It takes courage.”
“Since Yujin said that, I feel a little more at ease. Now that she’s been helped like this, she has to repay the favor….”
He still speaks in a hesitant manner. She seems to be a woman with a weak heart.
I said with force on my face to catch the tail of my mouth that kept trying to go up.
“You don’t have to worry that much, but…. If you’re really bothered, could you give me a little time?”
“Time?”
“I would like to have dinner with you. Can’t you?”
“Joe, good. No, since I have been helped, I want to treat it.”
Haha. So let’s meet tonight…. Have you decided where to stay?”
“Not yet.”
“It’s just fine. I was looking for a place to stay too, would you like to move with me?”
“I’m so sorry if you help me that much….”
Haha. What are you doing with this? It’s a knight’s duty to help the lady, so don’t worry about it.”
“Thank you so much.”
Together with Okjeong, I traveled all over town to find the best place to stay. It was a nice inn with a view of Platinum Lake from the window. The price was a bit high, but Ok-jeong and I didn’t mind. The Uwangseong Legion to which she belongs is quite outstanding.
While she was spending her travels in her lodgings, I started to go around town and dig up the truth about the rumors.
First, I asked the innkeeper.
“Ugh! That decoration… ! Greetings, the knight of His Excellency Duke Baldert!”
“Hmm. I know, too.”
“How can we not find out! Hey, what’s going on?”
The innkeeper looked at me with anxious eyes. It seems that they are looking at me because of the inn accommodation fee, but I had no intention of doing anything stupid to ask for a reduction in the accommodation fee.
“I heard that there are vicious rumors going around about Platinum Lake. I have been tasked by the Duke to dispel rumors about Platinum Lake. Tell me everything you know about the rumors.”
“That is….”
“What. Are you not going to tell me?”
I blushed and the innkeeper waved his hand in embarrassment.
“No! Because it’s a lot of nonsense… I thought I would only disturb the knight’s heart.”
“That is for me to judge. Tell me.”
“… Rumor has it that at night a woman will appear from the lake, kidnap her child, and kill the man by drowning him in the lake.”
It matched the rumors I knew. But I was dumbfounded.
“You are a water ghost.”
It is a story that is not even a ghost story in this world. Because ghosts actually exist. A few days ago, I personally killed the Banshee Queen possessing my body.
“That’s right, but the priest of the Hundred Decisions of Libra came and looked around the lake and declared that there were no ghosts.”
“Isn’t that priest a fraudster?”
“Oops! Say something big!”
The innkeeper jumped up in surprise. Since there were divine thrones in Atlantis, people were cautious when dealing with priests. This is because it is believed that if you treat a priest badly, he may be cursed by the gods.
“He was a true priest of the Hundred Decisions of Libra! Not only I, but also the villagers saw him exterminate the monster fish living in the lake with his divine power.”
“Hmm. Okay. If it’s rumored to kidnap children and drown men… Are there real victims?”
“There is! The blacksmith Colt’s son has gone missing, and the fisherman Bud has drowned in the lake three days ago.”
It seems that there was actually a victim.
But my face was still grim.
A child is missing? It could have been eaten by a beast from the forest, or it could have been captured by a slave trader. At least, it was more realistic than saying that he was kidnapped by a lake ghost.
In the case of anglers, there is a high probability that they just drowned in the lake.
“What, was there anything unusual about it?”
“Recently at night, there is a thick fog over the lake. So these days, I lock the door tight and close the windows at night.”
“It must be a natural phenomenon for the lake to become foggy at night.”
“No! Originally, Platinum Lake had no fog. But lately I’ve been wearing a fog every night. The Lake Ghost’s work is clear.”
The innkeeper said with a fearful face. After asking a few more questions, I headed to the forge.
Blacksmith Colt. The father of a boy who went missing by the lakeside, he was sitting in the corner of the smithy, preparing to die. Empty wine bottles are scattered on the table.
“… I won’t be doing blacksmith work for the time being, so get out.”
“How dare you tell me to go away? You wanna die?”
“…….”
Colt looked at me with disrespectful eyes, then, startled to see the medal on his chest, got up from his seat and bowed his head on his knees on the floor. He smelled of alcohol, but his face instantly hardened like a stone.
“Sin, sorry! I didn’t dare to recognize you as a knight!”
“I have received an order from the Duke to find out the truth of the rumors currently floating around Platinum Lake. You say your son is missing? Please tell me in detail.”
“…….”
“I was told to speak.”
I drew my sword. As Baldert’s knight, I had the right to kill disobedient commoners.
“I will tell you!”
Colt exclaimed in surprise. He said his son disappeared while playing by the lake. At that time, it was said that it was evening when the time gradually started to get dark.
“Do any of the villagers hold a grudge against you?”
Kwokt was startled and shook his head.
“No! There’s no way the villagers would do such a thing!”
“I judge that. Please answer me.”
“There is not! I’ve been living with the villagers since I was born! All the villagers are like family to me!”
“Okay? But why are you raising your voice at me?”
When I slightly raised my sword, Colt slammed his head on the floor.
“I’m drunk anyway… Well?”
The door to the forge opened and someone came in. She was a woman who looked like she had just turned 30. She was a dark blonde beauty. She wears baggy clothes, but she can’t fool my eyes. Her breasts were bigger than my hands, and although her stomach and waist had flab, it was natural to say that her hips were big and chubby.
When the woman saw the sword in my hand, her face turned contemplative. She and she bowed her head to the floor begging for her life.
“Hey, knight! My husband got drunk and made an excuse! Please forgive me!”
I looked at her body lying at my feet. Her curvaceous back and large buttocks caught her off guard. I licked her lips with her tongue.
“Come to think of it, I was too hasty. I couldn’t be a knight. Come on, stand up. I have a drink that I cherish, and I will treat it to you.”
I told them with a good laugh. But they didn’t let go of their guard against me.
“This drink….”
“Do you like it? Soju is an alcoholic beverage that I often drink in my hometown.”
“It is poison. That’s why I like it more.”
Colt, who was sitting at the table, gulped down soju. Whenever his glass was empty, I filled it up with soju.
“Honey…. Aren’t you drinking too much? The knight is in front… !”
“Never mind me. You lost your child, and you must feel like drinking and getting drunk. It will be difficult for you to stay sane.”
“Still….”
“I want to know more about the lake ghost than that. By order of His Excellency Duke Baldert, I have come to investigate the truth of the rumor. Maybe I can find your children, so tell me.”
“Knight! Lake Ghost! That ghost bitch kidnapped my child, Bolt! Years to rip and kill! There must be an ulterior motive to raise and eat my children!”
“Honey! Sorry! Knight! This man is too drunk…… !”
“Okay. Didn’t you say you understand? The glass is empty. Drink more.”
I continued to drink while listening to Colt’s complaints. Still grieved over his son’s disappearance, he did not refuse a drink at all.
Colt got drunk in less than 30 minutes and roamed around, eventually banging his face on a table and growling.
“Honey! The driver is in front of you, what kind of rudeness is this! Wake up! Honey!”
Colt’s wife tried to wake him up by slapping him on the back, but he fell asleep and showed no signs of waking up.
I realized that the time has come.
“That’s rude.”
I lowered my voice.
Colt’s wife shuddered.
“Sorry, sorry. Knight. Please forgive her husband’s rudeness.”
“I was going to do that anyway. But don’t you think it’s too much to bang your head in front of me and snore? Can we consider this an act of disrespect for His Excellency Duke Baldert, who bestowed a knighthood on me?”
Colt’s wife got up from her chair and crawled on her floor. She knows that their lives depend on me.
“No! No! My husband was drunk and just made a mistake! Please forgive me! Have mercy! He lost his son, and he cannot lose his husband!”
“… Hmm. What is your name?”
“Zucca… No see. Knight….”
“Zucca. You, the wife, should apologize for the rudeness your husband has committed. Right Now.”
“I will apologize…. I will apologize like this. Sorry. Knight.”
Jukka knelt down in front of me again. I deliberately clicked her tongue to make a loud noise.
“Tsk! Is there any meaning in the verbal apology? Do you think words can be erased, and your bowed head is worth a penny of my honor?”
“Hey, knight. We don’t have much money. Only 700,000 ner that I have for emergencies….”
“What do you see me as? I’m not interested in that pittance. Show your sincerity with your body.”
“As for the body….”
“You wouldn’t have known if I didn’t tell you?”
“…….”
Tuk-tuk.
I flicked the sword standing next to me with my finger. It was a direct threat, and the threat worked. Zucca shuddered and stood up. He fell to the floor without making eye contact with me.
“…… Can we at least do it in the room?”
“Do it here. Anyway, your husband is in a deep sleep. I know it because I saw it, but it won’t happen for a while.”
“…… All right.”
Zucca started to undress her.
As soon as she took off her baggy clothes, her breasts came out. It’s not wearing a bra. I was wearing shorts, but they were roughly made of cloth and looked plain. The brown nipples placed on the luscious breasts. The part that drooped down a little was erotic.
In the abdomen, as expected, there was flab on the lower belly. It wasn’t ugly, but rather cute.
Zucca grabs her panties, hesitates for a moment, then pulls them down. Uncleaned dark golden bushes emerged. It was wavy hair that grew out of order and randomly.
“What an obscene body.”
“It’s a normal body.”
“No. It’s an obscene body. If you were a prostitute, dozens of men would have tried to hug you.”
“…….”
It was my way of complimenting my body, but Jukka seemed to take my words as an insult and bit her mouth shut.
I got up from my chair, took off my pants, and sat down again. The huge cock slumped over the chair.
“Suck it once.”
