There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

78 – A newcomer with a story

The ripple effect of the porter’s thief declaration was truly enormous.

The thieves except for the captain and Burke were busy chatting with each other.

“Didn’t I hear that wrong…? Did that black hair just tell you that you’re a thief?”

“I can’t believe it either, but look at the captain’s expression. It seems unusual…”

Everyone was just looking at each other, wondering if they were going to be long.

Among them, if I were to pick the most difficult person, I could categorically call him Burke.

‘That bastard is a thief… ?’

I brought him who was drowning at the water’s edge and made a colonel in front of the captain, and he suddenly claimed that he was a bandit from another region.

If that was true, from his point of view, he would have gone crazy and jumped up and down.

It’s like I took my own family and sacrificed them.

Even Burke is in a state of panic and confusion.

The captain, who managed to catch his spirit, asked.

“…You’re the last survivor of the eastern bandits?”

“Yes. To be precise, I was the youngest at the time.”

Roughly half a year and three months ago.

Even as of the last day I went to work, I was still the youngest.

Let’s remember my thief life, which was twisted even if it was twisted. From the other side, the captain with a serious face asked in a voice that was still suspicious.

“Yes. Let’s assume what you say is true. So you mean all the brothers in the east died…?”

When asked to confirm the survival of the Dongbu family, he answered with the saddest expression possible.

“Yes. Everyone but me…”

“I can’t…”

Covering his face with his hands, the captain sat hunched over and began muttering to himself, “It can’t be that way.”

Watching that, I smiled inwardly, saying that things were going well.

‘If I keep going like this, I won’t have to take out the token.’

Fortunately, I had a feeling that it would end with Plan A, so I was trying to relax.

“No. It’s still too early to be sure of what you’re saying.”

The captain’s eyes were on me after overcoming his sadness.

“How are you going to prove that statement is true?”

A voice with mixed emotions tested me.

‘It’s not easy either. I’m not the captain for nothing.’

However, while I was in the bandits in the past, it was me who took care of all sorts of things.

And judging from the reaction just shown, it’s almost certain that the captains have a connection with each other.

‘Then we must have met and had a drink.’

There is one point to point out before pushing hard evidence.

“If I can prove it. What will happen to me?”

“You’re not in a position to offer me a deal right now?”

‘No, what. I have the information you are so curious about.’

“If you promise to treat me first, I will.”

When I spit out the request from this side, the other side dismissed my words as if they had no idea.

“It’s arrogant. There’s a way to open your mouth through torture, but why?”

I also answered without backing down at the appearance that came out quite forcefully.

“If you do that, you will not be able to trust the family members who have come a long way and will be squeezed out.”

Then the captain laughed and said something funny.

“You’re laughing. I can’t cooperate even though I say family members? You can’t call that a family member.”

As the conversation came and went, in which no one could yield to each other, a more certain number of wins was raised to alleviate suspicion.

“The first rule of a thief. Never do anything that causes loss.”

When I was a thief, I memorized the code of conduct.

Their reaction changed when I came out with a principle that only non-thieves would know.

“How did he do that…”

“Aren’t they really part of our family?”

With the code of conduct that came out naturally as if it were worn into the body, the boundary toward me collapsed at once, and the captain’s eyes softened.

“Did the brothers in the east accept you after seeing you like that?”

“I went to my feet and begged him to accept it.”

“I’ll see all the crazy ones.”

“Of course I heard that.”

“This is so…”

The captain, who laughed at my answer, said.

“Yes. If what you’re saying is true, I’ll let you stay here. Recite it sometime.”

I pushed the proof that I couldn’t take away from the captain.

“Our captain is usually fine, but once he’s had some alcohol, there’s something he always does.”

-Wriggling.

As soon as I finished my words, the captain’s eyebrows moved slightly.

‘Huh?’

I could tell that the look of nervousness was the look in his eyes, begging me not to say anything.

Realizing the meaning behind it, I folded and unfolded my little finger at an angle that only the captain could see.

Knock-knock.

The captain’s eyes started to vibrate like crazy when he saw that.

‘Certainly holding up your little finger and drinking isn’t manly behavior.’

Every time they drank together, they saw their cute little fingers coming up and cursed at each other for being like a girl.

As the same captain, he seemed to want to cover his private parts, so I adapted it appropriately.

“He had a habit of pouring a glass full of alcohol that was bigger than his face and drinking it all at once.”

“As expected, the captain must have been very enthusiastic.”

“My name is the captain, so I have to drink like a man.”

“Whoa…”

Only then did the captain breathe a sigh of relief.

The captain was able to open his mouth only after adjusting his expression for a moment.

“Yes. Surely my brother had that habit.”

‘Brother? Did you just say younger brother?’

The shocking news left us speechless this time.

‘Was bandits a family business? Somehow, they look alike.’

I couldn’t help but admire the global family history that dominated the continent.

“If you know that fact, your brother must have kept you pretty close.”

It’s true.

Because I was the one who brought about the renaissance of drinking culture by saying something like a cocktail to get a drink and try it.

He didn’t even give me a drink. Bad guys.

“Anyway, if what you’re saying is true, your brother is already…”

As the atmosphere became solemn at those words, he silently lowered his head.

He left after living on his own terms, so what should he do?

I must have dried up.

“So.”

Suddenly, the captain’s low tone filled the room.

“Who did my brother do?”

“That’s…”

“What kind of guy dared to touch my sister? I must hear it here.”

His eyes look like he’s going to go out right now and catch and kill the enemy who killed his younger brother.

I highly valued the friendship between the brothers, so I decided to reveal the true culprit.

“Stop trying to loot without knowing it was a warrior’s party…”

“…Hmm.”

Until just now, he acted as if he would jump out at any moment.

Hearing the word “Warrior party,” He was just busy staring at the distant mountains.

Looking closely, he was sweating a little.

“Looks like the poor fellow was out of luck.”

Perhaps it was because the eyes of his subordinates were stinging at him, the captain spit it out as if tossing it.

It seems that the secret to longevity that allowed him to live longer than his younger brother was good control of his anger.

The captain, who inadvertently aroused the atmosphere, asked me with his eyes fixed on me.

“I want to ask you one last question.”

What are you doubting here? Is it Made in East?

At this point, I was so frustrated that I was on the verge of dying.

“How did you survive there?”

“…What do you mean by that?”

Sharply forged questions flew in, not dull questions until now.

“Everyone died on top of you, so how could you survive? How the hell?”

The captain looked at me with meaningful eyes and continued.

“Couldn’t it be… you didn’t inform me?”

Snitching. Do I look so trashy?

I was moved by that statement, but the problem was that there was no way to prove it.

‘Here, we have no choice but to choose the next best way to become burnable garbage.

“Your brother was right above me.”

I decided to sell my dead senior.

I’ll catch me later and hold a memorial service for you.

“My older brother, who was knocked down by a party of wicked warriors, found me hiding in fear and crawled toward me with all his might…”

The senior who came back to life within me began to live and breathe through my mouth.

After a moment of silence, I raised my head to the sky with a twinkle in my eyes.

As if holding back tears.

After a while, we continued talking about seniors.

“My older brother, who eventually covered me with his cooling body, said that…”

In the heightened atmosphere, I could feel everyone’s eyes on me.

“What did you say…?”

The captain, curious about what’s next, urged him.

To live up to that expectation, I paid attention to each muscle in my neck and reciprocated with a desperate voice.

“Only you survive. As long as you exist, our band of bandits is not over…”

And once again, a senior who will die at my hands.

It was sobbing that decorated the tragic death of such a senior.

Why did you ever do that? It’s not a very sad scene, but when someone is crying next to you, your tear glands are stimulated for some reason.

I hurriedly began recalling sad memories to catch my emotions.

‘Sad thoughts. What are your sad thoughts?’

I didn’t even have to go far.

Since I fell here, my life has always been sad.

s*xual harassment in Mesgaki.

The Attempted Murder of a Ghost.

The saintess’ indifference.

Even the threat of the warrior.

The ingredients that make me cry now are overflowing.

– Jureuk.

Just by looking back on his life, the tear dispenser started to operate vigorously, and he began pumping up his emotions using the tears as fuel.

“That’s… hehehe! It’s my older brother’s will…”

I put my hand to his nose deliberately blurring his tail.

The point here was to steal his nose while leaving the tears flowing.

Even after taking the action of wiping, tears flowed down his chin.

A stage was unfolded on my face that conveyed a message of sadness that the viewer could not control.

The audience responded enthusiastically, rubbing their eyes as if they were satisfied with my narrative.

“Keuheuk… Such a story…”

“Maknae! Starting today, we will be your big brother!”

As expected, the whole room was a sea of tears.

To them, I will be seen as the youngest surviving member of the thieves who did not give up and embraced the legacy of the shattered bandits.

“Brothers!”

I also responded by calling them older brothers.

A touching story that cannot be seen without tears.

It was enough to light a fire in the hearts of the thieves there.

“Guys from the east. They were so proud of each other…”

Before I knew it, the captain also cast off his doubts about me and was in the process of wiping the tears from his eyes.

It was a time when I was in control of my emotions after directing a successful stage.

“I’m the youngest.”

Let’s turn our heads at a title we haven’t heard in a while.

“You worked hard to bring news of your younger brother.”

“No. I just did what I had to do.”

The captain of the South, who was looking at me warmly, and the youngest, who was faithful to his role, were looking at each other.

His expression became milder, probably because he liked my modesty.

“Put out your will here in the South. You are not alone anymore.”

“aaah!!”

I sat down and wiped away the remaining tears.

With a drop of relief that I survived.

With a drop of sigh, wondering if I should live like this.
