Chapter 110

Episode 110:

50 magic soldiers were wandering around the city.

They had a list of the criminals’ bases and their names.

No matter how skilled they were, they could not defeat them in the Millennium realm.

To deal with them and win, at least a large number of high-level knights and wizards of Circle 6 or higher were needed.

The Millennium City was filled with the Count’s mana, so if the Count had permission, they would be the strongest here.

“What are you guys!”

“hey! Got caught! “Contact us right away!”

“W I can’t contact you! “It’s not working!”

Among those attacked by magic soldiers, there were ordinary-looking people with pierced mouths.

Unlike those who attacked the princess, they were not very strong.

It feels like a kind of subcontractor.

The real thing was different.

‘They say it’s dark under the lamp.’

They were surprisingly close.

Their hideout was located in the basement of a slum where no one noticed.

If William hadn’t investigated the slums, he wouldn’t have known.

Who would have thought that there would be a hideout in a slum?

…!

As I entered the shabby tent, I heard very small sounds.

As I followed the sound, I saw a crumbling bed in the center of the tent.

Uji string.

As soon as I touched it, the bed split in half and broke.

Crippling –

and the sound of crickets chirping rang out.

The sound coming from underground instantly quieted down.

It is quiet for a while, as if nothing is happening.

“I normally don’t go into places like this alone.”

-We’re going in! Destroy what is in front of you?

Next to me was the dragon, the strongest creature on earth.

What is there to be afraid of?

“There’s no need to break it.”

When the broken bed was moved aside, a small side door was revealed underneath.

Because the door was so similar in color to the color of the earth, it was difficult to recognize it unless you looked closely.

Clang-clack-

I forcibly pulled open the closed door.

Using Aura wasn’t that difficult.

“You said you could use magic, right?”

-Yes! I can use magic!

“Yeah, that’s great.”

-Yes! I’m awesome!

“Then will you use that great magic?”

-Magic? Can we just blow up the whole place?

“no! “Just light up my path.”

-I get it.

The hatchling created a sphere of light in front of me.

I was appalled by the hatchling’s words, so I sighed and followed the orb of light down.

The stairs were old, as if they had not been maintained for a long time.

Squeak.

As soon as I stepped on it, it made a sound as if it would break at any moment.

In fact, some of them were even broken.

-It’s below. Are humans dangerous?

The hatchling on my head hurt my ears when it talked non-stop.

I picked my ears and pulled out the cotton.

-He came closer. Am I really still?

“uh. “Don’t do anything until I say so.”

The moment the hatchling steps in, it becomes a monster battle.

As the problem grows, you may have to put more effort into resolving it.

So even if it’s annoying, it’s better to do it myself.

‘But there’s no need to worry about magic.’

Dealing with skilled wizards can be quite troublesome and dangerous, but here you don’t have to worry about magic, at least not as much as in the Millennium City.

Because the Count’s barrier blocks that magic.

“Le… Emond….”

One person appeared and called my name.

Their faces were covered in burns, just like those who attacked the princess before.

However, the mouth part did not melt and he was able to speak, but a small hole was created in the center of his throat, making his voice sound shaky.

“…Obstructor….”

The guy’s eyes were full of hostility.

It was as if he viewed me as his lifelong enemy.

“Why are you so angry and staring at me like that?”

“If only you… no…

I could have gotten the princess,” he muttered quietly.

I frowned at those words.

I can’t believe I was able to get the princess. What that means is that he did this to get the princess.

“Why do you need a princess?”

“…representation.”

“representation?”

“Those who ruined the cause… will pay with death…”

The guy took out a dagger from his chest and rushed at him.

Cheaeng!

I threw away the dagger and grabbed the guy by the collar.

Piing –

I picked it up and moved it in the direction of the sound.

Pupupupuk –

Several arrows flew out and got stuck in the guy’s back.

He swung the dagger at my chest without even moaning, as if it didn’t even hurt.

Wow!

I kicked the guy forward and cut off his head.

-Use magic!

Then the hatchling rang in my head with a voice full of excitement.

‘They use magic here?’

That’s crazy.

Using magic here without the count’s permission was suicidal.

Unless your circle is higher than the Count’s, you will be caught up in the Count’s mana and die with gut-wrenching pain as soon as you use magic.

Even if you don’t die, you become a disabled person and become unable to live a normal life.

Count Millennium is Circle 9, so the only circle higher than that is Dragon.

That means it was impossible to use magic here unless the imperial magic tower lord or the palace magic tower lord came.

‘But how…?

A magic circle appeared in front of the newly revealed masked people.

There seemed to be no hindrance in using magic.

It’s impossible without the count’s permission.

-That’s it!

The hatchling tapped my head in confusion and pointed behind them.

There was a masked person who was one head smaller than an adult man.

A masked person with the body shape of a boy rather than an adult was holding something round.

Dozens of magic circles were floating above it.

As soon as I saw it, I instinctively realized that the reason they could use magic was because of that.

-Can’t last long. If you use that magic, that orb will break!

It was only a one-time use of magic, but that alone was surprising enough.

Because it was like being able to withstand the Great Wizard’s barrier even for a moment.

“I must get that bead.”

If you bring it to the Count, I’m sure he will like it.

I ran towards the guys using magic.

In the magic circle, flames were fluttering with intense heat.

I had no intention of waiting until the magic was completed.

“…!”

They seemed surprised to see me reach in front of them in an instant.

I swung the nameless weapon towards those who were trying to use the magic that had just been completed.

Kwajangchang!

With the sound of the magic circle breaking, they grabbed their necks and stepped back.

Push shot.

Blood poured out like a fountain through their hands holding my neck.

Without even being able to scream, they collapsed helplessly on the spot like a sand castle hit by a wave.

“Give it to me.”

I approached the masked person who was standing still and looking at me and pointed at the bead.

As soon as the magic was completed, the beads that lost their power were stained black.

The masked person looked up at me as I approached.

His eyes were emotionless as he looked at me.

As soon as I could reach out to him because something was strange, the corners of his eyes started to stiffen.

thud!

My body became stiff and I fell to the ground.

Even though I had done nothing, he suddenly died. I urgently bent down and took off his mask.

“Ugh…!”

A foul smell stung my nose.

His fallen face was black and rotting in real time.

From the mouth to the top of the head.

It was difficult to keep watching him, so he covered his face with a mask.

‘I still can’t get used to this.’

He had taken poison in that short period of time.

Even I, who thought I had quite adapted to this place, was not used to their behavior of sacrificing their lives.

“Let’s go back.”

-finished?

“uh. “This is the end of what we see here.”

According to William’s report, this was their last base.

So there was no need to stay here looking for something.

William will take care of everything without me having to do it.

-Then let’s see the city! I have something I want to eat!

The hatchling, who suddenly said something, looked at me with eyes full of expectation.

“I’m tired…”

But now I want to go back and rest.

– Take a look. If you don’t do it, I’ll be angry!

The hatchling must have sensed that I was about to refuse, so he pounded my head and shouted.

It seemed like he was going to harass me all day if I didn’t give him permission, so I reluctantly nodded.

“okay. Okay, so be quiet.”

-I get it! I’m quiet!

I smiled involuntarily at the cute sight of it gently wagging its tail in anticipation.

It looked like a pet dog that had been told to go for a walk.

“Are you here? young master.”

When I left the slums and went to the center of the city, I was greeted by magic soldiers who had captured dozens of people.

“Are these guys?”

“yes. I looked into it before coming. “These guys simply did what they were asked to do.”

“okay? These guys have big livers. “We do all that here.”

When I looked at them, I was startled and quickly averted my eyes.

Their bodies, unable to see me, trembled like cell phones on vibrate.

If you’re going to be that scared, why not do this in the first place?

“I think it’s all over, let’s go back. “You guys take these guys and report them to the Count right away.”

“All right. “But aren’t you leaving right away?”

“uh. “I have to see you for a moment.”

“Um… I see. “Then we’ll go in first.”

I waved my hand at them.

The magic soldiers raised up the remnants and returned.

“Then let’s go now.”

-good night! Let’s go there first!

A hatchling hung on my shoulder and pointed towards the market.

Despite the commotion, the market was operating normally.

The hatchling seemed to like the delicious smell coming from there and urged me to go.

‘I wonder how much money I have now…’

When I saw that, I became worried about my pocket.

I didn’t expect this situation, so I didn’t save that much money.

Considering that dragons are gluttons, it seems like they might run out of money and have to go back and forth to get new money.

***

The city, where all the remnants were captured, regained its former vitality.

Since then, the city’s boundaries have been strengthened, and existing criminals have also disappeared.

As a result, people’s dissatisfaction subsided further.

Then he bowed towards the Count and expressed his gratitude.

It was an ironic situation that I, who had worked so hard, could not receive a proper thank you.

“Interesting stuff.”

At a time when people were praising the Count, I was interviewing him.

This time, I handed over the beads I obtained from the masked people to the Count.

“I never thought I could achieve this level of efficiency with so little mana…”

He continued to be amazed as he examined the orb with a magic circle engraved on it.

Aside from the circle, the beads boasted very outstanding technical skills.

It was by no means easy to construct a magic circle with such precision on a fist-sized ball.

There was a lot that could be gained from those beads.

Among them.

“This is the technology of the empire.”

The biggest thing was being able to get to know the people who participated in this incident.
