Weed returned and told his colleagues that flattery and gifts will get the vampire guards to grant permission to enter.
“Soo handsome.”
“Valiant.”
“Truly the lords of the night!”
Pale, Zephyr, and Mapan obsequiously used painted words to impress. Then, came the gifts.
“This here is a tail obtained from a water buffalo.”
“This ring is a loot I got from hunting.”
“Jewelry. Hehe.”
They pretty much bribed and suck up to the guards until they got permission to enter.
“You guys are alright. OK, go! Though do not raise any trouble, else we’ll kick you out.”
As for Maylon, Romuna, Surka, and Yurin, they were allowed to pass without getting screened at all.
“The more pretty girls, the better..PASS!”
Their faces hardened a little bit when it came to Irene.
“I feel unpleasant. Do you believe in God? Well, no matter. We were not condemned. Rather than the boisterous lives of the day, we enjoy the serenity of the night, like it is the source of life. But girl, watch yourself when you’re in the village. Do not use your Holy power, else we will not be held accountable for what happens to you and your friends.”
Though the bore their fangs at her, she was still allowed to pass with a warning.
“You cannot come in!”
However, they firmly opposed Seechwi. Orcs are inferior creatures! Seeing how they viewed themselves as nobles, the vampires wouldn’t allow something that doesn’t match their standards to roam their streets.
“Chwiik chwwik! Come on.”
The eyes of the guards remained indifferent toward Seechwi’s begging.
“Our village is not a place where you Orcs can set foot in!”
Now. Geomchis’ turns.
“Well, it’s simple. Do what we saw, make a few gestures here and there.”
“Yeah, well, yes, but……”
“Wait and pay attention. You guys, I’ll start first.”
Geomchi5 decided to be the first to advance toward the guards.
“Hi guys, you don’t need to stand here!”
“Huh, what? What did you say?”
The guards forehead furrowed.
“With faces like yours, you’ll keep everyone away for miles…”
“Shits are spewing out of this dirty human’s mouth!”
“WHA? You undead bastards!”
Geomchi5 was a moment away from going to war with the guards.
“Don’t do it!”
“Please no.”
It took Weed and Zephyr a while to settle the situation. Then it was Geomchi3’s turn.
“Take notice on what I do.”
Weed was overcome with anxiety, but figured what the heck. Since Geomchi5 method failed, he figured Geomchi3 might have learned something, hence him proceeding forward.
“Human, do not enter.”
The guards blocked him.
“Mhmm, keep up the excellent work.”
Geomchi3 patted the guard’s shoulder as he tries to pass.
“Human. You are not allowed to come in.”
“Uh-huh, whatever.”
“A lowly human like you fools do not have the permission to enter. Turn around, unless you want to die!”
“What? Die……”
The guards gotten more aggressive than before, Weed and Zephyr stepped in again to calm them down. Quietly watching the situation, Mapan said in a serious demeanor.
“I don’t think they can go into town, what can we do?”
Not a single Geomchis was allowed to pass was a major crisis.
“Sahyeongs! Isn’t it better to show them a little bit of flattery to be allowed into the village?”
Weeds words of persuasion did not work. Even the cool-minded Geomchi2 sneered at the thought of sucking up to a bunch of vampires."
“I have a man’s pride! I’m not gunna bow to down to a monster like that or any kind of them.”
Geomchi2 coolly declared. Geomchi3 and Geomchi5 had the same opinion; and all of the practitioners regarded the vampires with the same mindset.
“This is so troublesome…,” Weed hesitantly spoke, “what about learning how to carve from me?”
Weed’s carving skills had advanced to such a level that he could teach others now to sculpt. Seeing how vampires love arts, if Geomchis offered the sculptures similar to their statures as human beings, they might be allowed to enter the village.
“Carving? Do we really have to?”
Geomchi2 replied in an annoyed tone.
“Yes. Beautiful sculptures are good to get girls, and it can be just a side hobby.”
"Really? Only need to know just a bit to attract girls as well as getting in? Might as well?”
Horrid reason for Geomchi2 to began learning, though he was good to go. Weed pulled out a carving knife and commenced trimming a nearby bush in pretense of a lesson.
“There you go. As soon as you finish carving this ‘sculpture,’ I’ll be able to pass you.”
Geomchi2 and the instructors, along with all the practitioners of the school were talented with the swords. While also similarly adequate with smaller weapons, they finished carving the simple “sculpture.”
Ttiring!
Wisdom is too low, cannot learn sculpting
