chapter 30
7. Kill Felix (5)
[King Slime Subjugator, dissection of ‘Vivian’, the rookie of the last temporary warrior promotion test]
[The person who built the ice tower in the training ground. Passing the test was predicted from then on.]
[In the past, when she failed 10 times, who brought her up?]
[The success log of the aspiring wizard and manager who fell to the ground. Will the second Sylvia be born?]
The front page of this issue of the monthly magazine was full of praise for Vivian.
Normally, I would have written about other news, but Amos did not allow it.
I only focused on making Vivian stand out.
‘… What should I do, did I exaggerate too much?’
The problem is the name ‘Second Sylvia’.
When I delivered the contents of the manuscript, I was excited, and because of the fear of Ian, I just ordered this and that.
But when I actually put it out, I was afraid that the expression ‘the second Sylvia’ was too much.
For some unknown reason, Ian seems to have left the first party.
Even so, there was no guarantee that the first party was insensitive to their news.
If that side shows a similar response to Ian in the past… .
Amos thought he’d be better off dead.
Or run away to the periphery where no news reaches you.
‘Oh, are you okay? It’s inflated, it’s not yesterday or today… . that, and! If you look closely! Uh, she’s similar to Sylvia!’
An aspiring wizard of nothing.
Even the one who fell after several attempts caught the first slime nicknamed ‘King Slime’.
Doesn’t this have a bigger impact than Sylvia, who appeared gorgeously after catching a big slime?
Amos successfully rationalized himself.
[Exploring the reality of Felix, which has only been rumored.]
[Anonymous whistleblower. Felix’s misdeeds and the ruin of the Managers Guild.]
[Felix insulted and ignored Vivian, the King Slime Subjugator. Are the achievements and insights he has built up an illusion?]
[Severe assault to awaken a boy who is a common man. Meet the survivor.]
If the front was all about Vivian, the back was all bad words about Felix.
It was also posted on the bulletin board, and the newspaper seller instructed the boys to sell it all over Supevia.
Felix’s reputation will now sink through the abyss.
A factual narrative based on the documents received from Ian, the testimony of Ian and Mercy, and Marie’s accusation.
It is the first shot of killing Felix, which was achieved only with vivid and objective information.
Now, Amos didn’t feel guilty or guilty.
He just needed to be safe from Ian.
He wanted nothing more.
‘No, rather than not at all… . Since it happened like this, I hope that this incident will grow so that I can solidify my position!’
*
Felix, who checked the newspaper earlier, found Vivian.
He knelt in front of Ian who greeted him.
Ian looked down at Felix with cold eyes.
Felix, who fell to the ground up to his forehead, trembled pitifully.
“Sorry, sorry, I-I… .”
“ha… .”
Ian’s sigh made his body tremble even louder.
He took a sugar cane from his pocket and asked.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… .”
Felix’s head was spinning and he was going crazy.
Where did I go wrong?
If Philip was Ian, what would Master have been up to?
Is Penny aware of this?
There was no time to calculate such a question.
I just had to lie flat on the face of the being in front of me.
“Sah, save me… . please, please just once… .”
“That’s right, you should have been nice.”
“I will do that in the future! I will never make the same mistake again… !”
Felix lifted his head and begged.
However, it was difficult to see hope in Ian’s expression.
“Hmm… .”
Ian pulled a piece of parchment and a quill from his bosom.
– Crisp square.
Write something down without saying anything.
I don’t know what it was, but Felix got nervous and kept begging.
“Phil… , Oh no. I-I don’t know anything… . Please forgive me, please… .”
“It’s a bit hard to say with my own mouth.”
oh oh oh oh
said Ian, chewing on a sugar cane.
“I’m not the kind of person you can listen to match.”
It’s not that I’m not someone who can match.
It meant that attempts and even thoughts of trying to match were disallowed.
It was an infinitely arrogant statement, but the person in front of me deserved it.
Felix nodded with the momentum to slam his face into the ground.
“Yes, yes… ! you’re right. My, please blame my poor eyesight… . I-I can’t see people well… .”
“It seemed like that. Seeing how you dumped Vivian like that.”
“… … .”
Felix couldn’t answer.
He remembered one by one what he had done to her.
– Crisp square.
The sound of the quill scraping the parchment felt like my skin being ripped off.
– Oh dog oh dog.
When his teeth chewed on the sugar bars, it felt like every bone in his body was shattering.
“It’s better not to think nonsense. No matter where I go and tell about today, no one will believe me. If you go around bragging a little bit, I’ll use my own hands.”
“Yes, I know… !”
Compared to his low and cool tone, his words were quite gentle, but each word seemed to make his flesh pierce.
Felix lowered his head to say that he would just obey him.
-thud.
After stamping the finished letter, Ian handed it to Felix.
“receive.”
Felix received it politely with both hands.
“This, this… ?”
“Maybe the military police will come looking for you.”
gendarmerie.
Felix’s body froze.
“Show me when you come. It was written not to kill you.”
Does it mean you want to save me?
I couldn’t understand his intentions, but I said thank you.
“Go, thank you… !”
“What is this? Dying is a very comfortable option.”
“… Yes?”
“Did you think I would just kill you?”
One corner of Ian’s mouth went up.
He removes the sugar cane from the tip of his lips and says it as if telling an interesting fact.
“Even if you want to die, you can’t die. Survive even if you become a half-corpse, and see how far Vivian you abandoned goes. Do you understand?”
“… … .”
“I am familiar with the military police. I’ll make sure the news from Vivian gets to you as quickly as possible. I can give you that kind of consideration.”
“… … .”
Ian put another bite of sugar in his mouth and said.
“Go away now.”
Felix was speechless before the order.
It just got up like a broken machine, creaking and carrying out his words.
Ian smiled as he saw the door closing helplessly.
I was relieved to find out that Humphrey was alive.
But right after that, the thought of killing Felix came to mind.
Seeing the collapsed Felix because the work went well made me smile for no reason.
Behind that, there was also a wicked intention, that Vivian would follow me more because of this.
‘As expected, I can’t be a good person either.’
*
Ian.
Carrying documents bearing the stamp of the man known to the world as Philip, Felix languidly left the building.
At the entrance, someone was waiting for him accompanied by a private.
Felix’s dazed gaze moved to him.
He was the Sub Master of the Managers Guild.
He strode forward and slapped Felix on the cheek as hard as he could.
-Fuck!
I hit it with my palm, and there was a sound of being hit by a blunt instrument.
The former warrior’s deputy manager’s strength was unusual.
Blood and teeth poured from Felix’s mouth as he fell helplessly.
“scram.”
The assistant manager spat out briefly.
He used to look after Felix, but now he doesn’t have to.
Felix had his tail cut.
“… … .”
A few minutes to leave the training center and be in a daze.
The heavy sound of armor stopped in front of him.
The attention of the people around them gathered here.
“I am Wolfgang, the commander of the military police.”
In a different sense from Ian, he was a ferocious and rough-looking man.
Felix stared blankly at the gendarmerie armed with black armor.
Wolfgang took the warrant out of his pocket and unfolded it.
“As of this time, your personal affairs are legally vested in the military police. We promise that the investigation and execution will be carried out fairly according to the procedure.”
Felix was just listening to the story in a daze.
I wasn’t actually listening.
The letters that were only sounds had no meaning in my head.
“Before we send it to you, there will be a brief search of your belongings.”
Wolfgang gave instructions to his men with a nod.
Soon, two soldiers searched all over Felix’s body.
All that came out was a dagger and a manager’s license.
And it was a document that I was holding in my hand.
Wolfgang was handed the document, read it, and smiled.
“Ian too. It’s because you have such a good personality.”
He looked up as if to look at Ian, who was at the training center.
Of course, I couldn’t see him, but he seemed glad that he was there.
“I’d like to say hello after a long time, but I can’t help it because you’re busy. I forgot to inform you that the chief of Arke Village and other key officials were executed… .”
Felix didn’t respond even when he mentioned Arke Village.
Wolfgang handed the papers to his subordinate and patted Felix on the shoulder.
“Do not worry. The military police do not do anything wrong.”
A rumor passed through Felix’s blank mind.
The way the military police dealt with them is splendid and brutal.
However, there are times when you can’t kill the opponent.
At times like that, I heard somewhere that it makes me feel like I’d rather die.
A life that I’d rather end myself.
That was the resolution Ian decided to kill Felix.
“Lead me.”
Following Wolfgang’s orders, two soldiers led Felix.
Felix didn’t even think of resisting, he was just dragged away.
People glanced at Felix even though they were afraid of the military police.
The accusation against him disturbed his ears like hallucinations.
***
Since I sent a call to the military police through Mercy in the morning, Felix must have been taken away right away.
I wrote the montage in detail and sent it, so I won’t miss anything.
With this, Felix is gone, is it time to go to Magdalen Monastery?
First of all, I need to inform Kati at Agnes Monastery.
I’ve been sent to pick up my three children with Vivian and Mercy.
Vivian was also furious when she heard Felix’s misdeeds, but she didn’t want to show her sending her into a human goal.
More than that, it’s still awkward to tell Vivian everything about me.
‘Kati.’
[Yes. master.]
‘it’s over. Where?’
[Mercy talked with the abbot.]
‘okay. Let Vivian even say hello. I’ll go there.’
[All right.]
[…] Come quickly.]
‘Are you going to be late?’
[…] … .]
‘I’ll be going soon.’
There was no luggage in the room, so I took the key and left.
I still haven’t returned the key because it’s due.
I already received the magic stone as 1 gold after tax.
Common low-level magic stones are originally 1 silver each.
After tax, you get 90 bronze, and if you divide it among party members and calculate the settlement ratio with the manager, the price per person is even lower.
However, the lowest-level magic stone was paid 100 times just for catching and coming out of the king slime.
In terms of Hanwha, about 10 million won?
I don’t know if it’s worth that much money.
However, I only heard that the magic tower paid a high price for research.
The wizards over there are crazy about new things.
Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with having a lot of money, so that’s fine.
Finally, Vivian will receive her first payment.
*
Vivian, Mercy, and Kati had just come out of the monastery.
Vivian’s eyes were red, probably crying because she thought she wouldn’t be able to see her children for a while.
I expected that, but there was something else that surprised me.
The point is that Kati greeted Emma who came out.
“hi.”
“… ! yes, thank you… !”
Emma, too, was unexpectedly surprised and bowed her head.
“Hoo… .”
Mercy was next to me, looking at Kati intrigued.
“What have I just seen? Did something happen between you two?”
“While you were away, Kati trained that child named Emma.”
“Is Katy?”
“Yes. It seemed that I was persuaded by the words of wanting to become stronger for the sake of someone important to me.”
“… ah.”
Vivian won’t need Emma’s help anymore, but she won’t want to remain weak.
I know what you mean.
“Are you okay? Important person?”
“Noisy. By the way, I live and see everything.”
“That’s right. It’s something to live for a long time.”
“… If you live long enough to see it, how long will it be?”
“A guy with no manners towards ladies!”
-match!
Kati, who was far away, approached and blocked Mercy’s back smash.
“Eh, really!”
Mercy couldn’t win in a minute and kicked the floor.
Seeing the absurdity, Emma burst into laughter.
*
“Have you arranged a wagon?”
Mercy, sitting on his shoulder, answered.
“Yes. found out in advance You can go out through the south gate.”
Well. good job
I ordered a lot of things today, and Mercy seems to be in a better mood than usual.
There won’t be as many things to do in the future as there are today, so I need to find out… .
“Yeah… . Ian?”
“Yes, Vivian.”
“How did Felix… Are you okay?”
“Ah, I took him to the top of the Managers Guild and filed a complaint. There is someone who recognizes me. Thanks to that, I was handed over to the military police.”
“Huh, the military police?! Ian can even move the military police… .”
It’s pretty close to the point.
Well, it’s something that the military police might want to intervene in, but it’s not easy to act immediately.
Although the inside story moved straight away for a slightly different reason.
“Well that worked out. Do you think the gendarmerie is too harsh?”
If it’s Vivian’s heart, it might be.
“Please. Considering what Felix did to Humphrey, he deserves worse.”
It’s kind of scary to say that while smiling kindly… .
“Thank you. If it wasn’t for Ian, I wouldn’t have been able to respond… . I get help every time.”
“With something like this.”
Vivian’s smile quickly faded.
The corners of his eyes drooped as if he was worried.
“Are you worried about anything?”
“yes? Oh, rather than worry… . I just think of the kids. Humphrey, Laura and Daisy didn’t last long.”
When I think of my children, I can only think of that.
Because Vivian really cared about her children.
“Are you sorry?”
“yes? Oh, no. it’s okay.”
The answer and expression are separate.
… if, really if.
If Vivian belatedly stopped wanting this and wanted to go back.
What should I do then?
Maybe, even if I don’t want to, I think I will.
I realized it through the precedent of the 1st party.
In a situation where your heart has already left, no matter what you try, it’s just pouring water into the bottomless pot.
“Tell me if you’re sorry. Because I might listen to you.”
“… yes?”
After hearing my words, Vivian was silent for a long time.
Then he suddenly crossed his arms and pouted his lips.
“… I’m sorry.”
“yes?”
“huh… .”
… Uh wait.
Are you pissed now?
No, I didn’t mean to say that… .
“I don’t know, I feel sad… .”
uh, what to do… .
“I’m sorry… .”
Vivian’s voice was watery.
“Uh… .”
“Oh, you sinful man… .”
Mercy hit her forehead! beat and lamented
It’s a bit cowardly to take it out at a time like this, but I can’t help it.
“Hey, Vivian?”
“… yes.”
The answer is blunt.
He put a gold coin in her hand and threw it away.
“… what?”
“1 gold. Vivian earned it.”
“yes?”
“The price for the magic stone. I got it yesterday and I have it. It’s 1 gold after tax.”
“This, I, this, 1 gold… yes?”
Vivian stood tall and calculated its value.
“If it’s 1 gold, that is, I will take 1 gold at a time, so… .”
It must have been an overload, so I passed out.
“Uh… .”
“Are you going to faint now?”
“What did I do?”
Carty carried Vivian to the carriage.
The carriage drove straight southeast towards Magdalen Abbey.
In the meantime, I’ve been using memory calibration to see if there’s any useful information.
I wish I had something… .
[Memory Correction]
Soon, two scenes rushed into my mind.
