Berserk: The Prophet

"Tap" "Tap"

"..." A man dressed in black leather armor and wearing a black hood rode a hunting horse to the open space.

"What are you doing?"

The man watched with a dark expression as Green tied up the several unconscious people on the ground.

Upon hearing the man's voice, Green's body jolted violently, followed by a barrage of memories fed into his system.

This man appears to be my father in the continent of Pendor, but he always seems to be elusive. He must have finished his business and returned recently.

"Father!"

Green reflexively called out "Dad," probably influenced by this body, or perhaps because he never told him his name, since he hadn't seen him in a long time. His body instinctively ran over happily.

"...I told you..." Don't call me that.

"Look! I knocked out nine thieves all by myself, and they were just trying to take advantage of me!"

"...Well done."

The man never cared about his battles with these bandits, because he felt that victory was something he should win.

"Can I sell them?"

"of course."

............

Do you sell bread?

"Okay, let me see the goods..."

"It's alright, 91 dinars for 50 dinars per share, decreasing in that order."

You sold two loaves of bread and a serving of cheese, earning 242 dinars. But if you think prices in Pendor are cheap, you're wrong.

Because the system has enabled currency exchange between the Berserker World and the Pendor Continent, roughly one silver denar is equal to ten copper coins from the Berserker World, although the denar is not as valuable as the silver denar from the Berserker World.

Because the silver dinar coin is very thin and light, remember not to cut your hand when you get your salary.

The price of ordinary bread was almost equivalent to that of white bread in Berserk, but most people in the town could still afford it because Barkley was famous as a mercenary, and everyone walking in the town could be an excellent warrior.

The clothes sold for 574 dinars, and the sword sold for 52 dinars; a good haul.

All they need to do is sell those thieves who left their old home in the slums, but unfortunately Barkley doesn't have a ransom broker today.

With nothing else to do, he could only practice his swordsmanship. The man in black taught him swordsmanship, and it must be said that his swordsmanship was very tricky. He didn't teach him how to use two-handed swords, but only how to use one-handed swords and daggers, as well as how to throw flying knives to take someone's life within a hundred meters.

He's not like a warrior, he's more like a professional assassin.

Green had personally witnessed him easily and accurately kill a rabbit a hundred meters away with a pebble, hitting the rabbit squarely on the head.

The father and son often used this method to obtain meat, since it was much cheaper than paying out of their own pockets.

.........

As night fell, Green allocated his attribute points, allocating one point to Intelligence, one point to Healing, and one point to Weapon Mastery, so that he could recover quickly from any injury. He slept on a makeshift bed in his dilapidated slum house, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest. This was his first night in Pander.

[This stay on the continent of Pendor totaled 6 hours, consuming 60 points of mental energy.]

[The limited-time shop within the Mount & Blade system is now open, refreshing monthly. Please spend wisely.]

[Reconnecting with the world of Berserk.....]

It felt like traveling through a time tunnel, as if jumping from one multiverse to another.

When Green woke up again, he was still in that underground prison, but the good news was that this time he wasn't being hung up.

"woke up?"

A familiar, clear male voice rang in my ears. It didn't sound as angry as it had yesterday, but the voice was a little hoarse, probably because he wasn't in a good mood.

"Hmm..." Green responded hoarsely, after all, his body hadn't fully recovered from being here, and he hadn't drunk any water all day.

Kadi's men promptly handed Green a bowl of water. Green grimaced as he got up from the stone bed, drank the water, and then noticed that his body was already wrapped in bandages and smelled of medicine, indicating that he had just been treated.

"Hmph, aren't you afraid I'll poison it?" Kadi sneered, watching with interest as Green gulped down the water.

“Because you’re not that bored, you can kill me anytime you want.” Green readily agreed, after all, there’s no drug in this world that can make someone obedient, and even if there were, Green didn’t think he was worth using such a precious thing on.

"The mission went smoothly this time, you're lucky, you did a good job. Let it go this time, but don't act on your own next time." Kadi finished his wheat beer, got up and left.

"Go back to camp and rest early. Training will resume in a couple of days." Kadi had other things to do and didn't have time to watch over the kid every day. He walked out of the underground prison down the steps.

"Hmm..." Although my whole body aches terribly, it's much better than yesterday. It seems the healing is working.

"Come with me, your clothes are here..."

Green followed a stranger to a torture chamber, where the torture instruments were so numerous and varied that they were truly terrifying.

Damn it, I hope they don't dump me here someday.

Green cursed under his breath, quickly got dressed, and left. It seemed he should try to complete his tasks as much as possible in the future; what a meticulous man.

............

"You're finally back, boss! What happened to you? How did you get hurt like this?"

As soon as he returned to the tent under the cover of night, Bazso came over. He hadn't been able to rest early these past two days, and he wanted to check on Green's condition, as it seemed his injury was quite serious.

"Ouch, keep it down. It's nothing serious. I should feel better tomorrow after applying the medicine." Green was in so much pain whenever he wore clothes, so he quickly took them off as soon as he entered the tent.

"...Then you should get some rest. A kid said he wanted to spar with you today, but he left when I told him you weren't here. He might come back tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand." Green wasn't worried at all about anyone coming to challenge him tomorrow, because he had the boost of 3 points of healing ability, and besides, he would recover quickly while sleeping in the tent, and his body would be almost fully recovered by tomorrow.

"What happened? I've heard that things aren't very peaceful in Wyndham lately."

"Don't overthink it, it's just a normal mission. All you need to do is provide cover. Knowing too much won't do you any good, Bazzo."

I've been going back and forth for almost an hour and a half now, so I should get some rest. I just don't know what will happen if I run out of mental energy. I guess sleeping will help me recover some of it.

"Okay boss."
