chapter 29
There were a lot of artifacts created for Drakan’s pranks or practice. How bored have you been in living for so many years? This sword is one of them. Dragon’s bones The only magic that Drakan gave to that good material was sharpness. The magic that gives the sharpness to the sword was put on a whopping 24 stacks. It sounds really useless, but when you actually use it, it’s terrifying.
“Everyone just defend.”
When I pulled out my sword and stepped forward, the escort mercenaries seemed a little taken aback, but they soon formed a camp under the leadership of Zizac.
“Weave a dustproof. I don’t know what it is, but it seems that the young master has a number.”
Although equipped with the level of military power of a high-ranking knight, it is the first time to use it as a full force. Perfect in theory, of course.
The pursuers all but a few rushed at me. But already they realized something was wrong.
First of all, it’s not the speed that a 13-year-old can move. And an aura was blooming from the sword in his hand.
Quickly digging into the middle of the pursuers, I swung my sword wide.
Suat!
Anything the sword touches is cut. Whether it was a sword or armor, he didn’t care. Even without injecting an aura into the sword.
As he knocked down his opponent without exerting any effort, as if cutting straw, a commotion arose among the pursuers. The kid in front of me looked like a monster.
When the movement to fall back slowly occurred among the pursuers, it became easier for me to deal with the enemy. And he wielded a sword with one hand and blew magic with the other, and did not tolerate fugitives. A few minutes later, there were only corpses all around me.
And looking back, the battle between the escort mercenaries was already over. Perhaps they looked at the mercenaries too lightly, there were three pursuers on that side, and Zizac took care of them. True to his nickname of half-head, he cut the opponent’s head in half with his favorite mace. G-Jacques, who was laughing happily after knocking the two heads off, looked a bit spooky. The other seemed to be handled by Jake.
“Everyone is not hurt, right?”
No one was hurt just by looking at it, but I asked out of courtesy. However, the gaze of the mercenaries was strange.
It’s understandable that a 13-year-old boy jumped out with a sword, used sword and magic at the same time, sliced up about 20 people, and came back covered in blood.
“What is the identity of the young master?”
Zizac asked with a puzzled face.
“well. I’m curious about that too.”
After answering roughly, I cleaned up the battlefield. Of course, it was all mercenaries. The belongings and equipment of the pursuers had many things that could be made into money. It will be a lucrative side income for them.
Murder was a few times when I was a soul, but it was the first time I was covered in blood in my entire life. In particular, the more the blood dried, the more unpleasant it became, so when he called the nearby water spirit to clean his body, the mercenaries’ eyes cooled even more.
From the moment I left the house, I didn’t intentionally hide my power, or I didn’t intend to, so I didn’t care. Of course, I had no intention of becoming a celebrity by deliberately revealing it.
Rather than that, he had to give back what he received, so he sent his alter ego No. 1 on the east continent to his brother. Still, my sister-in-law and nieces and nephews would not touch it.
The mercenaries collected the loot, but I disposed of the bodies of the pursuers. Since there were almost 40 of them, there was no answer for 5 mercenaries to dig a pit to bury it. This time, I borrowed the power of the earth spirit. The mercenaries shuddered as they saw the corpses being sucked into the ground. And the attitude towards me has become a little more polite.
“Boss, it must be difficult to cross the border today.”
“Then let’s camp here.”
At some point, the mercenaries called me the young master. At first, G-Jacques called it that half as a joke, but it became fixed.
“Shall I do some cooking today?”
When camping, it is common to eat dry or chewed food. The mercenaries make something like mercenary soup with dry ingredients, but the taste is terrible.
The best thing about being born again is being able to eat right away. For all those years, I only watched other people eat. In particular, since I had been in the imperial family for a long time, I could only see and eat the luxurious banquets of the imperial family. As a result, after being born, I became a little more serious about food.
“Is the young master cooking?”
“You will do better than you think”
The mercenaries looked at me with suspicious eyes, but they didn’t care and started cooking by lighting a fire and putting a pot on it. Due to the nature of the outdoors, it’s not like you’re going to cook a lot. A simple stew.
Rather than cooking, when ingredients protruded from the subspace, the mercenaries were doing it as if they were watching a performance.
“Are you the young master?”
Zizac said it half-jokingly, but his eyes were very serious. Maybe it’s because of his age, but there are times when G-Zac’s intuition is close to supernatural powers. If it rains, it will rain and if you say that the demon will appear, the demon will appear.
“Did you even see a non-human case?”
“Yeah, that happened once. We fought together as colleagues, but later we found out that it was a homunculus created by a wizard.”
“Well, first of all, it’s not a homunculus.”
Homunculus is a field that magicians often study, but I know of no successful cases.
“Who is the wizard who created the homunculus?”
“It must have been Bigpenius.”
I’ve seen it in the history of Vigpenius. He was the typical crazy wizard type. He is not a black magician, but he is a wizard who single-handedly massacred the formed punitive force when he was discovered after using numerous people as test subjects.
“What happened to the homunculus?”
To my question, G-Jacques replied by tapping the mace on his waist. It must mean that the head was smashed.
“Anyway, I’m human, so I don’t have to use it.”
Zizac laughed and shook his head.
“I don’t even have the confidence to fight the young master and win.”
While I was talking like that, my stew was being made. This is a dish I made by stealing the techniques and secrets of many famous restaurant chefs and imperial chefs.
“Okay, it’s done. Catch it”
I scooped out a bowl and handed it out to the mercenaries. The mercenaries accepted the bowl without hiding their suspicious eyes. It was because it smelled pretty good while it was already boiling. And the moment you take a spoonful
“Oh clothes!”
“Kyaa!”
The admiration never ceased. I was also enjoying the taste of the dish I made by scooping a bowl. This stew is quite a success.
“How would you like to be a cook, Master? He’s good at cutting, but he’s even better at cooking.”
G-Zac trembles
“This tastes just like the imperial family.”
This is Jake’s impression. Although he hides his true identity quite a bit, he seems to be from the Profen Royal Guard. Or how many knights could eat the imperial cuisine?
“I guess Jake has ever eaten imperial cuisine.”
When I asked, Jake’s complexion changed drastically. Aren’t you shaking too much? In many ways, that person is not fit for a mercenary.
“Quack”
Seeing this, Jacques smiled wickedly. G-Zark would have seen through everything. I pretended not to know and ate the stew.
After the meal, they called upon the water spirit to wash the dishes and sat down in front of a campfire.
“First of all, I am sorry about what happened today. I didn’t know my brother could do this. There was no damage, so let’s just say that we took the loot.”
I apologized to the mercenaries. After all, it is true that they are in danger because of me. It’s just a mission to fight the monsters you encounter from time to time, but encountering an assassination squad is different. The mercenaries nodded without much resistance. In fact, it’s true that I fought almost all of them and the mercenaries didn’t do much.
“By the way, what is the true identity of the young master?”
G-Jacques was a little persistent. Perhaps that was the trick that helped him survive over 20 years as a mercenary.
“Well, I am the second son of the Francois Baron family. He is running away from his older brother who has a dark heart because his parents suddenly passed away. In addition, use some swords, some magic, and some spirits?”
told it as it is Of course, it doesn’t tell everything. After living as a spirit for over 100 years, it stuck to this body. can’t you do it?
“If you have a younger brother like that, you’d want to kill him. He’s so good.”
“Anyway, the nobles”
Fortunately, the other mercenaries just matched the rhythm. Of course, Zizac did not erase his suspicions. No wonder. I am a non-common sense being.
After spending the night like that, the next day I finally crossed the border and entered the territory of the Aether Empire. After that, the journey went very smoothly without any major incidents. Still, because the territory of the Aether Empire was so vast, it was a long way to go to the ecliptic, requiring more than two months.
After about a month, alter ego No. 1 went to visit his older brother and did what he had to do. Now, at least, I didn’t have to worry about someone sending an assassin.
Around that time, I made an offer to Jake and Zizac. It was about whether you would stay by my side even after this request was over. Both are talented people.
“It’s not that I don’t want to settle down, but my nature doesn’t.”
Zizac refused. In the first place, I didn’t expect much from G-Jacques. It was because there was little I could give to Gi-Jac. I could give them any amount of money, but as I went around with them, G-Jacques wasn’t particularly greedy for riches. All he wanted was a fight. If you stay by my side, you won’t have much to fight.
“Thank you for your words, but please refuse…”
Jake seemed to ponder for a while, but then tried to refuse.
“I can fix Jake’s broken aura.”
Jake has quite a bit to offer. Jake doesn’t know what happened, but the auror road is broken. And I can make Jake a knight.
“yes? what is that”
Jake’s eyes fluttered incessantly.
“I knew from long ago that Aurorod was broken. I can fix that.”
“I’ve never heard of a broken Aurorod being fixed.”
Jake’s eyes snapped back into place. And his expression turned cold. He probably thought I was making fun of him.
“Then, if I fix it now, let’s make a contract with me for 10 years. Of course, I will give you enough salary.”
10 years is enough. Of course, before that, you should appoint him as a knight and work for the rest of your life.
“If you fix Orlord, I will serve you not for 10 years, but for the rest of your life.”
“is it so?”
I smiled meaningfully and secretly used the power of healing.
“Ugh! what is this”
Jake fell to the floor in sudden pain.
Awesome! Awesome!
There was the sound of something fitting inside Jake’s body as he collapsed. Jake trembled with convulsions all over his body from the pain. The sound faded and eventually stopped when Jake jumped to his feet.
“How did you do it?”
Jake looked back at himself in disbelief. It feels like the auror has returned.
“You haven’t forgotten your promise, have you?”
“of course.”
Jake knelt before me like a knight and swore.
“I swear to you Jake Hallendra for the rest of my life.”
“I will not betray the loyalty of Germain Francois Jake Hallendrahal.”
That’s how I got a rather competent and naive worker… no, a knight named Jake Hallendrahal.
Jake swore allegiance to me, but kept it a secret from the other mercenaries. Of course, it was impossible to avoid G-Jacques’ intuition close to supernatural powers.
Seeing Jake’s subtly changed attitude towards me and Jake starting training that he hadn’t previously done, Zizac said with a smirk as if he noticed everything.
“What kind of magic did you use again, Bocchan?”
“What?”
I pretended not to know so I didn’t bother asking. After a while, they finally arrived at the Ecliptic of the Aether Empire. Zizac and the other three mercenaries arrived at the mercenary office, paid all the commission fees, and parted ways.
“I have a feeling I’ll see you again.”
G-Jacques left a meaningful message as they parted ways.
“Isn’t that a curse word?”
Wouldn’t it be bad for me to see G-Jacques again?
“hehehehe, meeting a good client is good for me, so it’s okay.”
So G-Jacques left. Now it’s just Jake and me.
“My lord, what do you plan to do now?”
Not too long ago, Jake used the title of master when the two of them were together.
“We need to find a house first.”
I have plenty of money, so that’s fine. If you do not have enough, just buy it in moderation. More than that, I needed an identity, so if I told Yuri, it would be resolved, but I didn’t want to let him know that I was related to the Guardian Spirit.
Because it’s too obvious to be bothered. Apostle of the Guardian Spirit? manifestation? It was obvious that no matter how they were involved, the imperial family would make them do troublesome things.
