How to live as a wanderer

Suetlq is impeccable.

It was a fake or a bastard, given that he was the son of Earl Abner. In either case, there was nothing good about keeping him alive.

You'll only have a grudge against Earl Abner for no reason.

“You could have killed me if I'd dug up some...”

“How much would I know if he knew? I see he's been exploited immaturely. I've been stalling for a while now, but it gets annoying when people come in from above. ”

As soon as someone else above sees him, both John and Suetl can't be killed. The situation is beyond Stefan.

Right now, I need to kill him in a confused situation.

Suetlq was thorough in this regard.

“I don't suppose Earl Abner had anything to do with this? ”

“... I don't think so. Would they have sent a punitive force? ”

“That's a relief. ”

“I hope you didn't spare the bastard. Well, I wouldn't be in a place like this if I did. ”

Slaves smash the bastard's face and destroy anything he can find. Meanwhile, Suetlg searches the wizard's body.

“You were the one who was studying blood magic. ”

Blood magic is called blood magic. Blood magic, among all sorts of magic, was especially dealt with by sinister and sinister magic.

From there to the shadows...

Even the best wizards could not be treated properly with this kind of magic.

“Any idea what he was trying to do by creating a monster? ”

“Wizards are people. Probably trying to sell it to the nobles. ”

“Even if you get caught, you'll be strangled. ”

“If I don't get caught... the church will be more generous to the nobles." ”

A wizard's life that was not publicly recognized was miserable. Magic is a discipline that devours all kinds of wealth, and it is hard to study without a patron. Besides, blood magic requires a lot of live sacrifices.

A wizard who studied such magic would have wanted a strong supporter. There were many nobles who wanted to have powerful monsters mixed with magic, separate from right and wrong.

“Search the area. If there's anything useful, bring it out. We need to make sure they're searched before anyone comes. ”

The slaves move swiftly. Now when people enter, this temple will be completely burned down. Before that, I had to get something useful.

The Wizard's Research Book was the top priority for Suttleg. For a mystical wizard, this book was more precious than gold.

"You may be crazy, but you're not usually crazy..."

Suetlq frowns. Even the same wizard who explores mystery, there were many differences in the method. This wizard's method was a crazy one.

Goblins feed each other, strengthen each other, collect Goblin's blood, cast evil spells to deal with beasts...

A plan to eventually mix stronger Goblins and beasts to create a sturdy monster.

The creature I met in the halls of the temple was the result. I couldn't even hold it right, but the combat strength was clearly a threat.

“Isn't this... an Imperial College bracelet? ”

“Not surprising. There aren't many places you can learn magic in the first place. ”

There weren't many places in the world where you could learn magic, a mystery. Suetlq was fortunate enough to learn the secrets of the Ipael River from his teachers, but not everyone was so fortunate.

But if I wanted to learn magic, I had to go anywhere. One of them was Empire University.

The Imperial University, one of the highest educational institutions in the field of Law, Astronomy, Medicine, Alchemy, Theology and Defense Studies. Young intellectuals from the continent come a long way.

“Do you teach magic? ”

“No way. Magic isn't that easy. If we're lucky, we'll find a magical tip. And so would he. ”

“What about colleges in other cities? ”

“It's the same with Erence and Catalia. Magic isn't something you can learn anywhere. You're not still thinking about learning magic, are you? ”

“This Imperial College bracelet, is it expensive? ”

“Spin the horse... symbolic, not expensive. I'd rather have this ring. Look, this ring. You'd better have it. ”

“Yes? Why are you so suspicious...”

“No, it's not that suspicious. ”

Suetlg wipes the ring with a robe and throws it to John. A ring made of copper holds a dark darkness in the center. I stared at him, and he was strangely disoriented.

“That's quite a shadow you've got there. Darkness will spread around you if you break it. It would be a good trick.”

“Why didn't you use this? ”

“Because you blew your head off? ”

“Ah.”

John thanked me and took it. I don't know how much, but there will be a lot of work to do if you have something like this.

“There's some gold coins in the Kingdom of Erence. Take this, too."

“Uh, can I really have it all? ”

“You swore you'd return the favor. Compared to this research, it's nothing. ”

Mystery and secrets were more valuable to the wizard than gold coins. It didn't matter if I gave it to John.

‘But I don't have anything to give you. ’

Suetlq was eager. Searching this pagan temple requires John to take some risks. If you had sworn an oath, you would have given me back what I deserved.

But I didn't see anything useful. This wizard had nothing to fear or curse if only he was obsessed with the law.

In comparison, John was relaxed. In fact, I didn't think much of picking out the original here. I've already benefited enough.

‘Clearly the subjugation was a success. ’

Successful subjugation has been enough so far. And soon there will be gold again.

An unfortunate wizard and a relaxed knight.

It was also the knight who discovered something unusual between the two. John looked at the red leather belt on the wall and asked.

“What's this? ”

“... Don't touch me for a second. ”

Suetlq carefully raises his hand, wielding it a few times and kicks his tongue.

“You said you only did the same research. ”

“What is it? ”

“What a weapon for an assassin. No matter how desperate you are, you want to make this and sell it to the nobles...”

The red leather belt turns into a whip when you swing it, sucking the blood out of the person who touches it. It was an assassination weapon.

Suetlq sighs. The wizard's intent was read and written.

“This is not worth giving you. ”

“No, I'll use it well. ”

“?!? ”

The news that John successfully finished the subjugation was sent straight to the Earl's ears.

The success of a few unsuccessful subjugations was surprising, but what was even more surprising was the people behind it.

Earl Abner's face was shaken when he was reported to have subdued the social group. It was really unexpected.

Likewise, the shamans who were confused cried out with their minds.

“Congratulations, Earl! ”

“Why do you think the failed punitives succeeded? God chose you. ”

“Earlier I thought Lord Stefan was a brave and distinguished knight. I'm so glad you have the chance to prove yourself like this! ”

“Don't talk nonsense. ”

The nobleman who opened his mouth to Earl Abner's cold-hearted words with a splash of cold water was forced to bow his head, blushing.

“If Lord Stefan had had the chance to demonstrate his abilities, he would have shown them earlier. Don't talk nonsense. That's not the point. ”

To be honest, it was good news that Stefan was active, but Earl Abner is no longer foolish enough to fall for it.

The success of this subjugation is entirely John's ability.

If I had known this, I would have stuck Stefan between more plausible knights a long time ago.

It was all meaningless now.

“The monks sent by Bishop Mohshaw roamed the land. I would have kicked them out and complained right away, but this time it's different. We should send a messenger to express our gratitude and donation. ”

“...... ”

The mockers have a grumpy look on their faces.

Originally, meddling with other people's territory was something that could not be ignored, no matter how bishop.

But in this situation, the story was different.

With the monks subjugating the socialites, the Earl's face is disgraced if the Earl does not show his gratitude. Generous grace and faithfulness were the virtues of nobles.

“Earl, a man has come from the church. ”

“Listen. ”

The priest entered in a polite manner. Even though the nobles' eyes are heavy, the priests are restless. I couldn't work as a priest if I stood back from the gaze of the lower nobles without territory.

“Thank you for the subjugation, and Bishop Mohshaw sends his thanks. Without the Decree's decision, the subjugation would have been impossible. I am looking forward to the generosity of the Earl, as I am sending priests back to Heincat village to take care of the people. Please have mercy.”

“...? ”

Earl Abner, who wanted to say something, realized the situation and cursed Stefan.

You son of a bitch! ’

Stefan was so omitted that he reported it.

After finding all the Goblin Dens and reporting that the monks had come and subjugated the apostles, Earl Abner had no choice but to think, 'The apostles subjugated the monks.’

But now that I see it, the Punitive Force was right to wipe them out, too. Hearing the priest's words, it became even more clear.

“... it was the right thing to do. Sending priests is a positive review. ”

“Thank you, Mr. President. ”

The priest walks away politely, as if he had entered. As the worries turned to luck, the faces of the pretenders in place brightened.

What I should owe to the church has changed into something I can be colorful about.

“Lord Stefan will be rewarded when he returns. Prepare the Treasurer according to the customs. ”

“Yes!”

The nobles thought to themselves.

Do you still care about Sir Stefan? ’

It is imperative that you support Sir Stefan once again in the name of...

However, unlike the concerns of the nobles, Earl Abner was cold.

John was highly valued, not Stefan.

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

The chief clerk cautiously asked after the widows retreated. Among the pretenders, the Chief Executive Officer was a prestigious position.

From the day he ruled the territory to the delegate in the absence of the owner.

Of course, he knew what Earl Abner had given Stefan.

With the subjugation successfully completed, Stefan will try to use the tax rights in any way he can. It must have been a subjugation that was supposed to happen.

And when the Ulrich ball finds out...

“I have decided. The rest is up to Lord Stefan. I don't care if the Ulrich ball kills him. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

“... but not bad enough to deliver this letter. Deliver this letter to Lord Johann. ”

“I'll do that. ”

I heard there was no blood or tears, except for Stefan. Apparently, Stefan was loved by the Earl.

John and the Punitive Force were preparing to return with very high morale.

Call out the villagers who were hiding, repair the village, burn down the temple clearly in front of the monks...

Now that we have done this, it is time for us to go home.

The mercenaries weren't required to repair the town, but the mercenaries moved without much complaint to John's orders. Sometimes I was able to give orders other than gold.

“Are you really going to see Wolice? ”

“As I said, negotiation with Ulrike comes first. The other one's next. ”

Urike is the best person to sell tax rights to.

Of course, Ulrich was also a very angry opponent when he heard the truth, but John believed that if he understood the situation correctly, he would enter into a deal.

Unlike Stefan, he was intelligent.
