Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 36
"There you two! If you do not confirm, you will not be able to pay the request fee.!"
Before we could even take ten steps, the leader shouted from behind me and I raised my middle finger in response..
"I've read the contract carefully, so don't give a shit! If you don't want to be fined for violating the contract, just shut up.!"
"What, what?!"
Is the illiteracy rate in this world high? I'm not sure because I don't have access to statistics, but if I guess about how the world is going or the overall situation, it's probably not very optimistic..
Adventurers don't deviate much from that either. Among those who are considered mid-level adventurers, there are none who cannot read, but Asilier told me a long time ago that there are more cases than expected who cannot properly understand the meaning of technical terms, words, and even slightly complex sentences. Because I was worried that people might neglect their studies, I talked about it particularly often and even mentioned specific examples to emphasize..
It is not uncommon to suffer damage or take on unnecessary tasks due to not understanding the contract properly. Like those pathetic people running right over there..
"Whenever you work as an adventurer, your mouth gets rough.?"
"Eldmia, a living intellectual of this era, is just a customized human being who always knows how to play according to the other person's level.."
"It sounds like nonsense."
"People tend to turn their heads when faced with a sudden truth.."
Cheryl responded by kicking a boulder in front of me while walking. And while we were playing around like that, the adventurers had already run ahead and cut the distance by more than half. Roughly, the initial distance was about 300 meters? I'm just guessing by eye, so even though it's not exact, I think it's probably right..
When about 20 people had reduced the distance by half, an arrow was suddenly shot from the forest..
"It's a fucking archer!!"
"run! If you fall here without going into the forest, you will become a target for arrows.!"
While there are those who make cool-headed judgments, there are also those who collapse as soon as they are hit by one shot and are unable to come to their senses. However, arrows for confirmed kills do not actually fly towards the fallen guys. Arrows only fly at those who try to run the remaining distance and enter the forest..
"These fuck cubs play with us?!"
The expression “playing with it” is a bit subtle. There are a few kids who died in the first shot..
I don't know why, but they are training in the forest to intercept and lure people outside the forest to incapacitate and kill them. It was clear that they were testing their skills in real life rather than simply practicing or training..
I had a million thoughts, but first I asked Cheryl..
"You don't know who owns this winery.?"
"huh. Probably not a very influential nobleman.."
"Then, you can just kill whoever is in the forest and think about the rest.?"
There was only one conclusion to understand the incomprehensible situation that was immediately visible. Practice killing against green and blue level adventurers. The adventurers' repeated failures in subjugation were, in fact, an environment in which failure was inevitable. I came here thinking they were ordinary thieves, but if a soldier with regular training sets a trap and waits, usually there is no other choice but to die..
It's a normal battle with no mana or aurors, but it's a battle based on experience and system. Being a green or blue level adventurer was originally just that..
If you go to the upper level, red level, you can sometimes see wizards and auror users. And if there are people like that, they obviously haven't reached the right level because they don't have the skills to do this kind of shit..
"Leave no one alive."
Since I had guessed that far, Cheryl gave me instructions with a noble look on her face..
"There is not a single reason to allow these lesser-than-dogs, who dare to commit murder like this in front of the capital of the kingdom and humiliate the royal family, live.."
Even she, who belongs to the realm of genius, seems to have made a decision based on this situation that was not much different from mine. Without waiting for my answer, Cheryl rushed forward, her sword drawn and her aura unleashed. And at a speed that makes you wonder if a person, let alone a 15-year-old, can really run, she quickly closes the distance and reaches the forest. Likewise, an arrow flew, but because the speed was unexpected, it did not pose any threat to Cheryl, who was already far ahead..
When the arrow missed its target and fell to the ground, Cheryl had already disappeared into the forest..
"Wow!!"
At the same time, a scream was heard for the first time from the forest. I pulled out my sword, praying in my heart that we had made a mistake..
"As expected, he has the acting skills of a Soga owner.."
If training is the goal, there will be someone who trained..
And the last thing the person who trained would want is a situation where the training becomes meaningless, and the surest way to make that situation happen is the death of the people in training, no matter what anyone says..
So, make that your goal and surround your body with magic..
Thanks to the use of magical power that has developed dramatically since coming to the Ogatorf family and learning about Auror operation in earnest, the magical energy that used to feel like forced wearing of thick armor now feels like a swimming suit that fits tightly to the entire body. surrounded The five senses, strengthened by magical power and becoming sharper, recognize and adapt to changes in the body..
The moment my senses, which I had become accustomed to through so many years of training, reached an appropriate level, I kicked the ground and ran..
200It takes less than 10 seconds for the remaining distance to decrease in an instant. In an instant, the background changes to a forest, and people who were not visible from outside come into view. A look of astonishment appears on the face of a man holding a bow and just about to draw the string..
"Oh, Auror...!"
breastplate. Greaves. Gauntlets and Helmet. He has a short sword on his waist and no special bag. So three people. Confirming that the two other than the one holding the bow were not even able to react properly, they accelerated once more..
"...use...!"
It is certainly. These were soldiers, not thieves..
As he finished making his decision, the sword he swung moved as if it were being sucked in and cut off the man's neck cleanly. It wasn't difficult to turn around and cut off the heads of the remaining two people in one go. Because the 7 years of training were not in vain.
Concerned about possible attacks, he bent down and briefly surveyed the situation, but the soldier's words seemed to mix vaguely with the shouts of adventurers coming from outside the forest and did not reach the others. In the meantime, after checking the surrounding area where it was dug like a trench and making sure that Cheryl was not left, I put my sword back, took the shortswords of the soldiers I had killed, and ran into the forest..
Since I couldn't run through the forest as if it were an open field with nothing in sight, my speed was much slower than before. In the meantime, I organized my thoughts and thought about their purpose again. If Asilier had seen her, she might have scolded her for being distracted during the fight, but she's a relaxed enough enemy that that's okay..
But no matter how much I thought about it, it was a reality that was difficult to understand. Of course, it is true that the adventurer profession, on average, has no human rights or citizenship. Unless they have a job that allows them to pay taxes on a regular basis or are of a certain class, the kingdom is not merciful enough to treat adventurers who wander around and make irregular profits as citizens and protect them. This is the occupation that most directly shows that there are no rights without duties..
However, if no rights are given, there may be forces that try to unilaterally take advantage of the human resources called adventurers who can solve external problems cheaply. Of course, in that case, the number of adventurers will decrease or disappear, and all the requests that adventurers have solved will become problems for the kingdom and overflow..
Therefore, the kingdom provides the minimum treatment to adventurers. Therefore, if you lie about the contents of a request or cause unfair damage to an adventurer, you will be punished by kingdom law..
"Ha, there's one more guy...!"
As soon as he saw the soldiers on high alert, he threw the two short swords he was holding separately. The number is also three. When he saw the magic of swords emerging from the heads and chests of his comrades who were engaged in thorough comrade-in-arms activities, he was frightened and belatedly tried to fix his sword. As soon as he was hit by me, he let go of his sword and fell to the floor..
"Wow!"
I kicked the guy in the stomach, flipped him over, and stepped on his cervical vertebrae with my heel, and his body, which seemed like it was going to wriggle at any moment, started to stiffen. To be honest, I thought he was going to try to get me off my feet somehow, but it seems he was a friend who was surprisingly quick to judge. I feel like I won the lottery.
"Well, you either live or die. Either one! You only get one chance! What are you guys thinking, using adventurers like scarecrows for actual combat training??"
"Because of the order!"
"I like the quick response, so I'm giving it one more chance. From now on, please answer my questions as bluntly as possible and explain them in one sentence. If he drags on, just kill him and go catch someone else. who commands?"
"This is our employer! Baron Favaera! winery owner!"
I really like how quick this guy is..
