Episode 139
The Marquis who dealt with the demons quickly settled the confusion in the territory.
In fact, since the devil was caught before he could do anything in the first place, there was little to say of confusion.
‘Because an assortment is necessary.’
It is true that the Marquis himself needs to create an environment and atmosphere to effectively deal with the devil.
If this is an opportunity for the Twilight Fortress to become more vigilant about demons, that’s what I hope.
“Why did you want to go to a good fortress, but it was because of this?”
“What is it? I didn’t expect to get entangled with the Condor mercenaries there.”
At my words, Rian looked at the three additional companions with a complicated expression.
Milium Eileen Cariaman.
If they are extraordinary in many ways, they are the ones who can be called extraordinary.
“…I didn’t know that Master Sir Milium would accompany me.”
“Confucius Hehe Lian. From long ago, that twilight wizard and…”
“Us…what?”
“…There is such a thing.”
Ah, what a wild age.
The butler looked up at the sky with a melancholy expression.
Is it because of the long break?
I never thought that a generation would come that even the famous Wizard of Twilight didn’t know about.
…The thoughtful expression.
It is true that the butler once made a name for himself as a ‘twilight wizard’, but it was quite an old story.
Even he was famous in the magic world, but it was natural that Lian, who was only interested in swords, didn’t know the butler.
“By the way, warrior.”
Cariaman called me.
“You say yes.”
“What would you do if Sir Mylus had succumbed to the devil? If that person didn’t want it to happen, then…“
I have to purify it.”
I answered firmly.
There is nothing more to worry about.
“If it can be undone, there will be no problem, but isn’t the premise that Kariaman-nim put on is Sir Mylas, who has a ‘small chance of undoing’?”
“…That’s right.”
“If there is no turning back, the decision must be quick. Nothing gets solved by procrastinating.”
Whatever it is.
What I do now is to do what I can before that ‘before it becomes irreversible’.
But if it’s late, cut it off.
The standard should be as clear and without hesitation.
“As expected.”
Cariaman nodded with a bitter expression.
But I’m not done yet.
“However, that is only a story when there is really no chance.”
“…yes?”
“I still think I have a chance to save Sir Mylus.”
If Sir Mylus had truly been eroded beyond repair, he should have come out already.
If the erosion was successful, there is no reason not to use useful resources.
“Sir Mylus hasn’t shown up yet.”
“…ah.”
It was also confirmed through ‘Talia’ that the Condor mercenaries were not taking any action.
“Time is running out, but the opportunity exists. That’s what we need to pay attention to.”
Enoch had not yet yielded to Lord Mylus’ strong spirit.
Even if we can’t hold out for long, there’s a good chance we’ll be able to hold out until we reach the mercenaries.
“But how are you so sure?”
“Because that is what I do.”
A warrior is one who stands at the forefront.
To be ahead of everyone else, to keep your back and prevent disaster.
Once you’ve decided on a direction, you shouldn’t hesitate.
At my words, Cariaman stared blankly at me and then nodded.
“also…okay.”
As if he knew I would say that, for some reason he looks at me with more sparkling eyes than before.
…Not bad.
I mean, it’s a bit embarrassing.

“Come to think of it, what happened to what I said? A treasure that can be useful…“
A guy like a rice bug.”
“What man?”
It was Lian’s child who was unnecessarily loud these days.
‘Of course, it’s not bad as I definitely become stronger as much as I apply.’
At the current growth rate, you might be able to reach mastery within 1-2 years.
Then the youngest Master will probably be born.
Of course, Lian is not saying this to me without any shame.
The boy has been through several incidents.
Although he became stronger that much, it was also true that in the process, he was under enough pressure to overshadow the days when he was expected by everyone as a next-generation swordsman.
‘It’s a burden.’
Even though it seems like they are asking me to be proud on the outside, the burden must be piling up one way or another.
You might think that it doesn’t help me properly yet.
“Coming to think of it, Rihanna, you don’t seem to be just a bob bug.”
“…suddenly?”
“It was a bit of an extraordinary rice bug.”
“….”
Ryan looked at me with disgust.
what why what
If you twist it, you know how to get stronger.
“First of all, what you need more is practical experience and the teachings of superiors. To be honest, to you right now, things like elixirs don’t mean much.”
“…Hmm, that’s how it is.”
If Lian was a mediocre expert, I would have helped him by supporting the elixir.
However, he has now surpassed the advanced level of expert.
He must have grown rapidly in sparring with his future self.
It could be said that the fantasy I showed him satisfies the ‘condition to become stronger’ to some extent.
but.
‘The problem is that even the future can’t completely solve the realization to reach Master.’
Lian was no longer walking the same path as before the return.
The ‘Lian before the regression’ and the ‘Lian of the present’ that I know are the same, but they have become different beings.
Being a master is the final destination of identity.
Orientation as ‘inspection’.
It is revealed and determined by the Master.
“I can’t help it. I don’t have much time in between, but I will do my best to help you.”
“Oh oh.”
Ryan shouted as if he was happy.
“I believed you, Mikhail!”
“Now then…It was around the
time I was about to tell Lian about my training plan in detail.
rustle.
Coincidentally, I heard something moving in the surrounding bushes, and a group of people appeared sneakily.
Roughly 4-50 people.
They were all glaring and glaring at us.
No matter how you look at the weapons in your hands, it doesn’t seem like they came with good intentions.
“I asked when it would come out.”
I looked at them with a smile.
Everyone here must have known about that group.
Then a familiar face popped out of the crowd.
“You bitch!”
“…Oh that.”
He was a mercenary who ran away crying after being hit by Eileen when he first arrived at Marquis.
um so….
“Did you say Hyrule?”
“Hey, that name is dangerous, so don’t say any more.”
Whatever.
What a mercenary.
Anyway, the mercenary corps shouted.
“You dare to be rude to our Hiran mercenaries!”
“congratulations. You just took the steps of a perfect third-rate villain with those words.”
Is it a true story at the level of a third-rate villain….
My heart just feels sleepy.
The mercenary’s mercenary’s face distorted and shouted.
“shut up! With less than 10 people at most, how dare you touch our High Lan?!”
“…hmm.”
I glanced at the level.
It’s obvious, but even though there were many, there were no such great guys.
A few experts were seen, but it was a level so low that it could not even be measured by estimating our level.
“Okay, Lian.”
“Why?”
“We’ll arm in arm and watch over you, so you can do it yourself.”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Don’t use it for an aura, just kill it purely with your swordsmanship skills.”
“Why now…?”
“To be precise, from now on.”
Since the person himself said he wanted to become stronger, there is nothing that I cannot create an opportunity for.
Before arriving at the mercenaries, there are still things to prepare and some distance left.
“You deal with all those things that come out in front of us.”
“No, they said they would support the treasure.”
“Isn’t treasure actually referring to the blood and sweat you will shed in the future?”
“Hey dog…”
Lian tried to shout something, but our little mercenary corps never stood still.
“I won’t listen to you anymore, attack me! Don’t touch the smooth-faced ones so they can be sold as slaves!”
“Gara Lian lightning petrification!”
“Hey…!”
Lian let out a cry of her own and ran towards the mercenaries.
fuck fuck!
* * *
After that, things like monsters and useless bandits occasionally blocked our way.
In the first place, to shorten the time to join the mercenary corps, he dared to take a risky road, so it was a natural result.
And there was always a proud Ryan in front of us.
“hmm.”
The butler with the horse on his back said as he looked at Lian, who was engaged in a soul-to-soul fight with the ogre.
“It is intense. I didn’t even use an aura, so I’m close to that ogre…”
“You are becoming increasingly aware of your wildness. It’s a good thing. Now it’s to the point where I don’t know if it’s a human or a beast.”
Just at the point of saying that, Lian broke the ogre’s neck.
It was a bloody battle that lasted for 30 minutes.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Lian’s roar has now become a signature.
Gradually, the other party reached the point where they could hear Lian’s roar like a symphony.
“There is something soulful about Prince Lian’s roar today.”
“Lian-sama’s body has slowly reached a state similar to that of an ogre, and I’ve recently begun to think that way.”
Eileen and Kariaman share their appreciation of Lian’s bloody battle while eating prepared food.
Milium was quietly staring at Lian.
“How are you, Sir Milium?”
“Is that what the benefactor wants? It’s about helping them find their own way.”
“Isn’t that what being a Master is like? Well, I’m not a swordsman, but a wizard.”
“Lian Parslov. I heard early on that he was a gifted child. The next generation of swordsmen is not a title that can be easily attached.”
“It is.”
Milium’s eyes didn’t fall off Lian, who was resting after killing the ogre.
Master’s Eye.
Milium is very cold.
It is to evaluate with a more cold standard than anyone else in judging talented people.
“…The road has changed.”
Milium’s eyes shone.
“I know that there is a path originally laid for that child. When I saw it in the capital that day, I hadn’t deviated much from that road.”
“….”
“I was sure, of course, that when I saw him again, he would have grown up the way I thought he would. Except for the benefactor, there is no case that has ever escaped my eyes.”
Milium said that and smiled.
It’s not like it’s ridiculous to say that.
“Well, in the end, it can be said that the child is related to the benefactor in that he is with the benefactor, but did the benefactor twist the child’s path?”
“well.”
I answered bluntly.
Milium didn’t ask any more.
It’s not like he was asking for an answer in the first place.
“…I tuned it very carefully. It’s as if my benefactor had foreseen the child’s future, should I say?”
“Hmm what.”
It was a sharp point.
Especially in that what Milium is saying right now is not simply throwing.
“I think things will go well, benefactor.”
“It will be fine.”
Tomorrow, we will now arrive at the Condor Mercenaries.
Soon everything will become clear.
Anyway.
I will never act according to the thoughts of the great devil.
Great mage who transcends by regression
