Chapter 114 – 114 Dimensional Support (4)
*
She showed her mercenary card and stared at her guards in silence.
“Are you suspicious?”
“If it suddenly becomes a B-class mercenary…”
The mercenary checked the two robed women above and below her.
A-class mercenaries are not easy to see. It was a grade that could not be reached without talent because it was strong enough to be able to compare with a knight.
So, are B-class mercenaries common?
Nor was it. It was the highest grade that ordinary people could reach while working as mercenaries, and it was an area that could not be reached unless a tolerable veteran.
But what about the woman in front of her own eyes?
Her face was hidden by her robe, but her youthful voice and her physique, which seemed petite compared to hers, did not make her look like a B-class mercenary.
“For a B-class mercenary…”
“I didn’t want to go this far.”
The moment the guard tried to place her hand on the robe, with the tingling feeling she felt, her hand stopped involuntarily.
Before she knew it, she began to break out in a cold sweat and her body began to stiffen as if she were holding a beast of prey right in front of her eyes.
She couldn’t breathe properly, and she felt her throat tighten.
He was just glaring at himself, but the guard’s legs staggered in fear.
“Can’t you believe this?”
“Heo-euk… Heo-euk…”
He began to catch his breath as he freed the guards from the life that was weighing him down.
It was clear that she was a strong woman who could not be compared to herself.
“Crime… Sorry. Don’t make a fuss in town.”
“Don’t worry, I’m just going to stay for a day. Then let’s go.”
Her knight, who had paid her toll, was about to pass the entrance to her village, carrying her young lady behind her own, when she made eye contact with a man standing behind her.
He was just an ordinary-looking man, in better shape than most men, but if you look at the guards alone, he was below average.
He was obviously an ordinary man who didn’t even feel mana, but he was a man who caught my eye for some reason.
‘Your eyes are alive.’
“Aria?”
“Oh sorry. Then, let’s start with the inn.”
She answered inwardly that she was a young lady.
As the guards disappeared, Adela, who was behind, spoke to Arya.
Arya was her escort knight, and she was the most trusted person for now.
“Has she ever been a mercenary?”
At Adela’s question, Arya scratched her own head. In this way, she did not know that Adela would find out about her past.
“I was active for a while in the past. It was not a very good experience.”
“To think Arya is a mercenary .. Huhu, she doesn’t seem to suit her at all~”
“It is a thing of the past. It was all I did for a moment.”
“Wait a minute, was that a B grade?”
Adela looked at her aria in a great voice.
She didn’t know much about mercenaries, but she knew that her B-rank was never a lower rank.
“Don’t make fun of me. Miss..”
Arya smiles brightly, but she confirms that Adela’s body is shaking.
She was so cruel that even she had a hard time adapting to it, but Adela, an ordinary young lady, was appalled.
Adela was the daughter of a viscount who managed a small estate. She did not have very strong military power, but it was an ordinary territory that did not have a lot of money.
Adela Valiere loved the villagers, and because of the low tax rate and good welfare, it was a good place for ordinary people to live.
Until they arrived, Youngsaengkyo, which pursues eternity, did missionary work to her father.
She made a ridiculous demand to hand over all the people of Yeongji, since she would guarantee them eternal life.
Naturally, Viscount Vallière declined the request, and that was when the tragedy began.
Amidst the one-sided massacre, Aria escaped the estate with Adela.
She asked for help from a nearby nobleman, but he was already a member of the Church of Eternal Life.
In a situation where you didn’t know who was your friend or foe, you couldn’t trust anyone.
Their destination was the Church of Freia, and they intended to fight against the tragedy that had occurred in their territory.
“It will be fine. Miss.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden, Aria? I’m fine~”
“You don’t have to pretend to be bright.”
“… How do I do it? What should we do in the future?”
“Miss. How about taking a break at the inn for now?”
Arya checked Adela’s face. Unlike her usual smile, she was full of worry and pensiveness.
Her skin, moist and soft like baby skin, looked crumbly from her tiredness, and her silky fine hair looked out of condition.
Adela, who had never been on a march like this before, was already pushed to the limit due to the unreasonable schedule, but she continued to walk without complaint.
She had great willpower, but her willpower alone had its limits.
“Is that okay?”
“It will be fine for today or so. That inn called Cradle of Plenty looks good over there.”
“But…Now…”
“Miss.”
Adela eventually nodded her head to Aria’s seemingly determined answer.
*
“Where did you go?”
The security guard’s working hours were longer than expected.
The moment she saw Adela, she wanted to follow her, but she couldn’t because she was in the guard.
There was quite a bit of work to do, from checking at entrances, patrolling designated areas, going to stop someone in a fight or conflict.
Fortunately, the patrol confirmed that Adela had entered the inn.
The guards had two shifts, so their work ended as the sun went down. I moved her steps to the inn where Adela was believed to have stayed earlier.
“It’s not that dark.”
I heard that in the past, there was no electricity, so when the sun went down, I couldn’t do anything, but on top of a device that looked like a street lamp, a stone was shining.
It seemed that the same power as mana existed here as well.
“Then is that woman also using mana?”
The woman escorting Adela looked like her knight.
She had heard about the knight, but she wasn’t just a bit good with a sword, she was a kind of superhuman.
According to her, she was a hunter, and if she was a knight, she was among the top hunters, she heard.
She also had the power of mana, and she said that only a sword expert could become a knight.
It was like a human weapon to slaughter ordinary humans like us.
I don’t know if I can do something that even a superhuman couldn’t do.
“Looking at you earlier, I was tired.”
Adela briefly checked her face, but unlike her picture, her condition looked serious.
He was exhausted and looked like he was about to collapse at any moment.
“Were you being chased by something?”
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been assigned an escort mission.
They ask me to safely escort them to the Church of Freyja, but I don’t know if I can do it because I can’t even protect superhumans.
At least, if I had the ability, I would do something, but I already let out a sigh at the difficulty level being too high.
“Were you here? Cradle of Plenty.”
The struggle was the appearance and movement that seemed to have never been done before.
Even in simple movements, manners could be seen, probably aristocratic.
If that’s the reason she’s going through such a hard time, it’s right to see that she’s running away from someone.
So Freya must have asked me to escort her.
“Hmm..”
There were already armed guards standing in front of the inn called the Cradle of Abundance.
The atmosphere was unusual, as if a battle would break out at any moment.
“What are you doing at this late hour..?”
“I heard that there is a felon here.”
The captain of the guard glared at the innkeeper with a bloody expression.
“I… I don’t know.”
“Yes, I guess. Two suspicious-looking women must be staying here, right?”
“Yes.. He came in around morning, but.. He doesn’t seem like a bad person..”
“Are you covering the criminal now?”
“Ah.. No..”
The innkeeper backed away, and the guards began to pile inside.
There’s no way Adela could have committed the crime, and she must have been the work of the bastards after the two.
He must have some strength to move a guard of this size.
“Is this how it ends?”
A female knight came down from the upper floor fully armed. Despite the overwhelming number of guards, there was no fear.
On the contrary, it was clearly annoyed.
But somehow I got used to that attitude. No, it was an unforgettable attitude.
In the meantime, it was a natural result because I had repeated loading several times to imitate that motion.
Yes, that swordsmanship was exactly the same as the swordsmanship I was using.
‘Ellenen Empire swordsmanship?’
Then, is this the world where the Ellenn Empire exists?
“It would be good for God to follow me obediently. Criminal Aria.”
“How much do you guys know?”
“I know that he burned the territory, slaughtered the inhabitants of the territory, and fled. Even if you are a knight, do you know how to be afraid of us?”
“You guys don’t seem to know anything, it’s no use saying it’s a misunderstanding.”
The woman named Arya let out a deep sigh and began to warm up.
“Catch it! The guy who catches that bitch will be promoted!!”
“Aaaaa!!!”
Guards rushed at Arya with her spears. The sword is a difficult weapon to handle.
Although it takes a long time to become skilled, spears are relatively easy to handle, making them good for trained soldiers.
Of course, the spear is also a difficult weapon to master, but even if you make a square and stab it with an overwhelming length like that, ordinary people are no match.
If you are an ordinary person, that is.
Arya had her guards rush in like a wall, stabbing her with spears, but she didn’t back down.
In an instant, the sword shone and cut through her air.
As clean as the full moon, the spears of the guards were all cut off.
“… Is a knight a knight?”
The captain of the guard muttered, but I was pretending to be okay, but my legs were shaking.
Well, if you get hit by a sword like that, it’s just death, so there was no reason not to be afraid.
“That’s real swordsmanship..?”
I focused on Arya’s sword without speaking.
