Chapter 208 – The Chasers From the Desert
I understood why Jakarta warriors flocked to Yoensu. The queen candidate has escaped, and of course they will come to catch it. It’s not a relationship that ends with a penalty if you break out like a summoner’s gorge!
‘It’s become a headache.’
Let’s think about reporting to the guards and taking care of Jakarta’s warriors. However, there is no guarantee that they will come to Yoensu just once and end. They’ll keep sending people after Rebecca. Maybe we’ll have to suffer from bastard warriors for the rest of our lives.
I searched under the bed during the night and it gives me goosebumps just to imagine there’s a bastard hiding there! Aaaaa!!
“Luke. In the worst case, we might have to live apart. There’s no way we can live comfortably if Home keeps sending pursuers. I’d rather leave here.”
“Don’t say you’re leaving alone! If you’re leaving, I’d rather go with you! I can’t let my girl run away alone!”
“That’s right sister! If you’re going to escape abroad, let’s go together! Coincidentally, I’m sick of being a nun too! Bella unnie solves it by coming to Yoensuu from time to time! It’s best if we all leave together…!”
After thinking about it, what we came up with was the escape of love. Let’s go to a distant overseas country where others can’t reach and find another happiness. If I were to leave today, where should I go? There were many countries outside the Northern Kingdom where we live. I’ll try to find a place where I can communicate as much as possible.
When it was said that she was leaving Yoensu, Kate took the lead and voiced her opinion. Kate, too, hated being separated from Rebecca to the point that she decided on her escapist life at once.
“If you look at places worth living in the Northern area, the Commonwealth of Vanensia, the Republic of Lastopia, and the Duchy of Morph would be it. Where does Rebecca like?”
“Uh, huh? I don’t know… I’ve never been outside the Northern. The first country I arrived at after getting out of the desert was Northern. I was so busy making a living that I never dreamed of traveling to the continent.”
The Northern Kingdom boasts the largest territory on the Midgard continent. A place where many different races live under the rule of the Gerd royal family. I’m actually a Northerner myself, so I’ve never been abroad. I only know rumors about various countries that I hear from time to time.
“Kate, have you ever been abroad?”
“No! I’m tied to the church, so I haven’t been able to travel. But when I’m bored, I’ve read a lot of travel magazines. I know roughly where to live. First of all, the Principality of Morph must be eliminated!”
“Why?”
“It’s a country founded by beastmen. If you live in Morph, you’ll smell the beast. I read a column in a magazine, and it says that the beastmen of Morph have a custom of eating raw food. They don’t just eat by themselves. , I keep encouraging immigrants to try it, whether it’s freshly caught deer carcass or chicken blood…”
In a word, it’s fucking savage. Until now, the only thing I knew about Morph was that it was a country that was surrounded by a vast forest. It was a nature-friendly image, but it’s so friendly that it’s difficult!
“Because it’s close to the Great Forest, there are a lot of insects, and if an endemic disease spreads, we’ll all die!
“I don’t like bugs…! I’m kind of gross too. There were ants crawling around in the inn room where I lived before. I thought it was crazy when ants fight for territory.”
“Actually, the Republic of Lastopia is equally dangerous. In a sense, it can be said to be more dangerous than Morph. Lastopia is an area where civil war breaks out at every opportunity. You could get caught up in a war and die on the road.”
I know very well what kind of country Lastopia is. The stories that the citizens who emigrated from that country are unraveling are heinous. The republic of another world is not a very ideal form. After all, if you look at the best areas to move to, there’s probably only one.
“If all goes well, there will only be Vanencia. I haven’t heard anything bad about it. It’s close to the sea, so it’s good for a boat ride if you need to.”
In the end, the one chosen as the area to move to was Vanencia, which was the most acceptable. Inside the chapel, we hatched a plan to try to escape abroad.
No, but wait a minute. If you’re running away, can’t you just walk around in Northern? Do you really need to go abroad? It seems that I have made some unnecessarily grandiose plan… ?
“Let’s pack up and leave right now! Let’s go to Vanensia, the home of art!!”
“But do we really need to go to Vanensia?
“Ah, but it’s safe to bounce as far as possible.”
It was when we were having a long conversation about where we would jump. Suddenly, the sound of a door opening echoed outside the chapel. At the same time as the door opened with a click, there was a person who poked his head inside.
“Excuse me, but I have a question for you. Have you ever seen her maiden name Rebecca?”
He is an oversized monk like an ogre. The moment I heard his voice, I and Rebecca, who had been chatting so much, froze. Of these, the only one who has yet to grasp the situation is Kate, who is seeing a monk for the first time.
“…I found it!”
“Hee-hee-i-!!”
It was a coincidence. How could he have known that the monk from Hellchang had come to the church just in time! I haven’t even reported it to the guards yet, but I ran into the boss of the warriors! Is it a boss fight out of nowhere?
“Here is the third daughter of the Caliph! I came across the desert to find you! It’s time to return home in peace!”
Bang! The door was slammed open and the monk entered the chapel. Jakarta warriors coming in following the monks are seen. Listening to the conversation that followed, Rebecca seemed to be acquainted with the muscular monk.
“Bad-headed pahan-! How are you here! How did you get out of the sandstorm!”
“Daddy, it’s going to be crazy…! The rough talk like a third-rate mercenary is still the same! We, Jakarta, have finally found a way to go outside. We are no longer trapped in a cage.”
In an instant, monks and warriors named Pahan surrounded us. The speed at which each individual runs like a second-class soldier is not normal. If I thoughtlessly turned my back and tried to run away, I would be caught. It was inevitable that a battle would break out.
“Capture the caliph’s daughter alive!”
When the monk Parhan gave the order, the three warriors ran towards Rebecca. They are warriors who, after receiving an order to capture them, rush at them with their bare hands. Are you saying you’re thinking about fighting with your bare hands? After all, when you become a second-class soldier, your whole body is like a weapon.
“Hagalaz! Blizzard!”
The moment they closed the distance, he raised his staff and released a blizzard. It was a blizzard that could easily deflect fishmen and ghouls. However, the samurai of Jakarta stood with their feet on the ground even in the strong wind.
“Are you a wizard?!”
“You’re a wizard who handles snow! Snow is also water, right? If you capture it and take it back to your hometown, you’ll become a high-class manpower!”
“I didn’t have enough drinking water, but that’s good…! Let’s take that guy too.”
Rather, looking at me, my eyes light up as if I discovered a rare animal! Did I say that Jakarta is always suffering from water shortage? They said that wizards who can handle water magic are treated as nobles. The three warriors, as well as the Pahan monk standing behind, paid attention to me.
“Young man with horns! I didn’t know that earlier, but you’re a nobleman too! I’ll forgive you for lying about not knowing the caliph’s daughter. Come to Jakarta and wring water for the rest of your life!”
“What if I don’t go, you bastards!”
“What should I do if I have to kidnap them-! A country where water is precious!”
I can’t understand the idea of kidnapping if I can’t say it. If I get dragged away, I feel like I’ll be used as a slave by bastards for the rest of my life.
I’m going to meet my end with the dream magic water purifier.
Squeeze the water out for the bastards! That/A/A/Ah.
“Lee, Liquid Ring!”
I summoned a wave of magic while feeling chills all over my body. Only then did the warriors retreat as a huge wave swept over the chapel. The moment a blizzard and waves appeared, Jakarta’s warriors couldn’t take their eyes off me.
“Ohhh?! That horned guy made water out of nothing!”
“This is real water. It’s clean water that you can drink…”
They were warriors who properly received a culture shock in the middle of a fight. But apart from being surprised, the warriors no longer looked down on me. As if acknowledging that he was not an opponent to be defeated with bare hands, he pulled out a curved sword from his waist.
Sreung! Three curved swords were aimed at me. Although swept right into the blizzard, the warriors were not seriously affected. After examining their bodies carefully, I realized why they were so fine.
A translucent shield that warriors wear like armor at some point. That was a skill that only second-class or higher warriors could use.
Mana Arts.
It refers to the various subtle skills that warriors use with mana. If the third-class martial arts only strengthen the body, from the second class, all sorts of special techniques can be used. Blowing a long wind, making sword energy rise, or covering oneself with a protective shield.
The translucent armor worn by the samurai of Jakarta is also a mana art.
An art for self-defense called [Energy Shield]. It protects the body from external attacks. There was a reason why he was fine even after being hit by a blizzard. Until that armor is shattered, the warriors do not fall.
“Protoss bastards…! It’s cowardly to walk around with a shield on your body!”
It was the moment when the Emp shockwave was fucking needed. If you cut their shield amount to 0 and hit their torso, they would die instantly!
“Wizards are more cowardly! Energy shields are the legitimate rights of unmanned people!”
“How cowardly are those who cast magic from a distance!”
The three soldiers reacted violently to the provocation of being cowardly. They seem to be treating me as a normal one-dealer like other mages. I feel sad all of a sudden
I’m too lazy, kids!
Being a rune mage, you have to fight in close combat to fight properly. However, it is impossible to ask the enemy to fight for sympathy for the unfair feelings. I dealt with the approaching unmanned people by releasing waves and snowstorms.
“If you touch Luke, he won’t let you go! I’ll stab you in the knee with a knife, so just come in! Have you ever heard of me back home? If you touch a red-haired mad dog, you’ll be killed!”
Rebecca and Kate stood by to cover me. Thanks to this, I was able to gain some advantage against three second-class drones. Although her skills as a warrior are second-rate, Rebecca was not inferior to the warriors of her hometown. It was because the warriors were extremely reluctant to hurt Rebecca.
However, it is not possible to predict victory in battle. The Pahan monks who commanded the warriors had not participated in the war yet. We are just watching the battle as if we are estimating our skills.
“Stop it! Back up!”
At one point, Pahan pulled back the warriors who were fighting. Did he really intend to go into battle himself instead of his subordinates? However, for someone who wants to fight, he has no particular hostility.
Farhan looked at Rebecca with a look of realization.
“Daughter of the caliph! She’s dealing with mana.”
Farhan was amazed at Rebecca, who was strengthening her body with mana.
“How did you come to be able to handle mana? It must have been that your body couldn’t accept mana?”
Haha… It’s all an old story! I came out and found a way to accumulate mana. I’m too shy to tell you how!”
“Did you find a way to fix the cursed constitution…? Then we won’t have to fight.”
“What?”
“Strictly speaking, our chasing party does not follow royal orders. We are only following Master Fatima’s command. The Sword Master who cherished you so much.”
Farhan opened his mouth to the embarrassed Rebecca.
“Fatima-sama has placed a condition on the mission to pursue you. If you have grown as a warrior, the condition is to suspend the pursuit.”
We heard from Farhan about Rebecca’s teacher.
