Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 148
Episode 148
“I would like to say thank you again, hero.”
After finishing the mercenary case, Sir Mylus saw us off as we were about to leave.
Except for one, it’s a decent send-off with nothing particularly strange about it.
… … Yes, except for one.
“Sir Mylas, do you really intend to keep holding it?”
“Yes, I will.”
Lord Mylus was carrying a staff.
If the horse was held in the hands of a staff member, it could only be seen as a stick.
The tip of the stick was painted with red dye.
… … As you know by now, that is a replica of my staff.
It’s also a replica from the time I hit Sir Mylus like a piece of shit.
“I have always faced hardships and crises head-on rather than avoiding them.”
“Ah yes.”
“The fear of the staff cannot be avoided. If it’s an ordeal that befell me anyway, I have no choice but to face it myself.”
Yes. Sir Mylus was by no means one who avoided the approaching crisis.
For days, whenever I was around, he would tremble and move away.
But at some point, he started carrying a stick similar to my staff… … .
“Whoops.”
It happened like this.
[Again, you abandoned a healthy person. This is what a warrior looks like.]
With a liberated expression, Set sat on my shoulder and said.
This time, I had nothing to say.
“Are you just holding it?”
“I intend to use it as a weapon as well.”
“… … ah.”
it was cooked The master, who had been fine, suddenly came to fight with a sword in one hand and a club in the other.
“I realized that day when I saw my body beaten by the warrior’s club like a dog. It seemed that there was no need to be courted by the form of a sword. I am no longer a knight.”
“… … I think you can be courted.”
“Haha joke!”
I’m not kidding.
However, Sir Mylus doesn’t seem to have any intention of changing his realization.
Then what can you do?
Yes, this is also part of the change.
Certainly, this is also one of the cornerstones for a positive future.
[Don’t be mentally victorious.]
Haha, this too will pass.
Sett looked at me as if he was ridiculous and poked his cheek.
“I don’t care about anything else, but I’m thinking of defeating the devil with this staff.”
“… … Ah yes.”
“Suffering is overcome in this way. haha!”
Maybe my choice to beat Enoch with a staff a few days ago was wrong.
I thought so for a while as I watched Sir Mylus look at the staff with eyes that felt like madness.
For now, one thing is clear: in one way or another, the Lord Mylus I know is no more.
“Anyway, if you need anything later, please call me anytime. No matter what time it is, I will move to help the hero.”
“Thank you for that.”
The full support and trust of the Condor Mercenaries is definitely a great reward.
It will be of considerable help in the future battle with the great devil.
‘I drove Enoch out this time, but it’s not over, and that Belphegor is growing stronger too.’
The more forces you can get help from, the better.
“Just Sir Mylus. It is right to oppose the devil, but we must not be buried in that hatred.”
“… … Uhm.”
“It is true that the devil is the enemy of mankind and must be destroyed. Kyung must have hated them because of this incident. But if you’re buried in hatred… … ”
“I understand. If that happens, it will be difficult to make a rational decision.”
He nodded with a thoughtful expression.
Sir Mylus is a wise man.
Of course you understand what I mean.
“My head is cold… … I’ll keep that in mind. As the hero said, if you get caught up in hatred, it will only become what they want.”
“great.”
No need to worry any more.
Even to this extent, he will never cross the line.
The Sir Mylus I saw was the same as the hero I had heard of before returning.
“Oh, and you don’t have to worry about Kariaman. All names have been discarded. I had a bit of a headache… … “
You said you would definitely stay, right?”
“Yes, he said he would continue to help me as a member of the Condor. In many ways… … It looks like it has developed.”
Cariaman has grown up.
He completely let go of his hatred for his mother and started to carve out his own path.
This must have helped him break his shell.
“Continue on your next journey.”
chuck.
Sir Mylus said that and bowed to me.
“I will help the hero from now on in the invisible place.”
Example as a knight.
The ceremony he took when he was once famous as a free knight.
I also answered him.
“It is an honor, Sir Mylus.”
It was eventful, though.
It was a rather pleasant ending.
* * *
“Are you leaving now?”
On the way to lead the party to the next destination, Milium and Eileen were waiting for us.
“Sir Milium? Weren’t you with Kariaman-nim?”
Milium looked completely ready to leave.
Considering that only Karia decided to stay with the mercenary, it was a bit unexpected.
“No, I decided to walk around a bit. I also decided that this was for that child. Isn’t that child an adult now?”
“Hmm.”
I was more surprised than I thought.
The love she had for her son was greater than she thought.
I thought we would stay together… … .
‘Does this also change?’
Apparently, there is also such an unexpected income.
“Are you out now?”
“… … it was late But where is it even now?”
Milium responded to my words with a wry smile.
“That child has affirmed my life. Of course, I didn’t even affirm my sin of hurting that child. But as a judge, I mean… … Yes, that much was affirmed.”
“that… … That’s good.”
It means that the mother-child relationship, which was riddled with misunderstanding and hatred, has completely improved.
“I will continue to act as a referee. Of course, I do plan to improve the direction a little more.”
I nodded at her words.
“I don’t see it as bad.”
The existence of the referee is not bad.
It’s because it’s not common to have a Master who travels all over the world and beats up heinous criminals or demons.
It would be a problem if the standard of punishment becomes ambiguous, but she has also grown up through recent events, so there is no need to worry any more.
and she said
“Then I will entrust you with a disciple.”
“… … yes?”
“Suddenly?”
Even Lian, who was listening closely to the story that came out of nowhere without any build-up, couldn’t help but admire it!
Not to mention Eileen.
“Wait a minute. Master?”
“As I said, I intend to continue my work as a referee. But you don’t have to shoulder that burden. Didn’t I promise to teach you swordsmanship?”
“… … Haven’t you learned everything yet?”
Aileen looked at her teacher with a puzzled expression and said.
However, Milium only smiled softly at her.
“No, you have already learned the description of my ‘Meteor’, and what you lack is only actual combat. It’s good to ask me to teach you. However, it doesn’t have to be now.”
“Uh um… … “
Besides.”
She continued with a firm expression.
“As the hero said, the time will come when we must deal with the devil. And unfortunately, that’s not my specialty.”
“… … ah.”
“The day will come when we will meet again. Then I’ll let you know what’s next. So, keep working hard until then.”
At those words, Eileen’s expression strangely changed. But then she nodded.
It is probably because I know from experience so far that the teacher will not change the meaning once it has been decided.
The conversation between the two priests was heartwarming.
Would you say that you can feel that each other understands each other here too? It’s nice to see, but… … .
“By the way, Sir Milium.”
“Speak, warrior.”
“I never said I was going with Eileen.”
“Well, here it is… … As if
not expecting that much, Milium hardened his expression.
The butler and Lian, who were quietly listening by the side, also glanced at me.
– It started again.
Eyes with a meaning like this.
But what do you mean?
Accepting Eileen is what I also hoped for.
Her talent is real, and it is necessary to gain experience against demons for the sake of the future.
It’s true that it’s a talent recognized by the sword empress who co-destroyed one of the great devils, so it’s true that it’s worth cultivating.
But that is that and this is this.
“Still, I think that my disciple is quite outstanding.”
“That’s true, but it also costs money to handle people… … ”
[No way… … .]
At my words, Set looked at me with disbelief eyes.
But I am a strong warrior who does not give in to the voices around me.
“How long have you known?”
You have to get the most out of what you get.
At my words, Milium’s expression became quite serious.
She must have taken my words quite heavily.
“Well, entrusting a disciple to the hero of the world is not without reward. Hmm… … “
Master Su?”
After thinking about it for a while, she took something out of her arms as if she had come to a conclusion.
It was a small pill.
Ironically, the pill was in my memory.
“that… … “
Looking at the reaction, you must know what this is.”
“Isn’t it the Beast King’s short medicine?”
is in memory
The Beast King, a member of Argo and my colleague, carried several of these pills.
‘Thanks to that, I was able to overcome many crises. In Lian’s case, I benefited quite a bit.’
Basically, the Beast King’s short medicine could be seen as an elixir and recovery medicine with enormous potential.
Of course, as the name ‘Beast King’ is attached, the number is not large and it is rarely given to outsiders.
“yes. A long time ago, while working as a judge, I saved a group of beastmen. However, it seems that a noble lineage was mixed in that group of beastmen. This is what I got then.”
“… … Hmm.”
It’s a precious bloodline among the prisoners who are famous for not going outside.
If that’s a person enough to wander around the lawless zone… … .
‘No, I shouldn’t jump to conclusions.’
I didn’t think about it further.
The important thing is that what Milium is trying to hand over to me is a more valuable item than I thought.
“Is it not enough?”
“No, on the contrary, I’m embarrassed to give you something more precious than I thought.”
“I owe you a lot of grace. Rather, I feel sorry for all I have right now.”
Is it really a master?
The barrel is large.
I took the Beast King’s medicine from her and looked at Eileen.
“What are you doing?”
“Uh um… … no… … ”
She stood there for a moment, not sure what to say, then came towards me.
“really… … Are you frugal?”
“People have to be frugal. If you just live, you’ll just become a hukou.”
At my words, Eileen’s expression became more subtle.
It looked like he had a lot to say, but he quickly calmed down as if he understood it.
“Hehe, that’s how people grow, Princess Gong.”
“It is said that humans are animals of adaptation. You got used to it.”
I don’t know why the butler and Rian tapped Aileen on the shoulder, but anyway… … .
“Then, I will look forward to your future performance, Sir Milium.”
“I will also look forward to your performance as a hero.”
Milium also responded to my words.
“Ah, if you need it, call me anytime. If it’s your call, I’ll answer it anytime.”
“Yes, it is.”
At my words, Milium nodded and disappeared without hesitation.
Now, even if it’s not a lawless zone, I’m going to go somewhere else.
Surely this will be a change for the better.
Thinking so, I moved on to my next destination.
* * *
“But where are we going now? You want to go, so I’m following you.”
“my house.”
“… … huh?”
At my words, Lian saw me.
At first, he looked at me with eyes that said, “What kind of bullshit?”, but soon his eyes began to tremble.
“The family of the Marquis of Bar Walpurgis?”
Then he said urgently.
“Okay, I understand. I fall out.”
“Yeah no can’t go You too will accompany me.”
“Oh no no… … hey!”
Ryan screamed desperately.
“That’s strange! I don’t know where else, but why do we have to accompany you to your house?!”
“There is a reason for that.”
“For what reason… … ?”
The reason why we should head to our family as they are.
Simple.
“From now on, I’m going to do something my father won’t like, and I need a shield to stay with me.”
“no.”
“In an emergency, we become one body. Isn’t this an ideal companion?”
At my words, Rian and the butler’s faces rotted away.
Eileen, who had been quietly listening to the words, quietly spoke to me.
“That’s not an ally after all, but a meat shield.”
“… … hmm.”
I quietly looked up at the sky.
It was really sunny.
Great mage who transcends by regression
