Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 383
Tsushima Dosa Gaiden Episode
11 … .”
A group of thieves screaming desperately with their heads hammered down.
I sat down in front of them and said.
“So it doesn’t work in the center, so you gave up mercenary business and came to the outskirts like this to steal?”
“… … That’s right.”
“Well, how can people like you survive in the mercenary industry where trust is the lifeblood?”
For mercenaries, ‘trust’ is a value that is directly related to life.
By the way, did you break that ‘credit’?
That day you will be kicked out of the industry.
In fact, there were not a few types of mercenaries who were kicked out and stealing because they couldn’t keep their trust.
‘It’s okay for territories that are moderately large, including the capital, but… … .’
In the periphery where control was weak, these bandits were inevitably rampant.
Even in the center of the empire, things that can’t even give out a business card run amok like this… … .
“Hey hey. keep your posture straight If you don’t want your palms to fly off.”
“Yes yep… … !”
The thief leader broke into a cold sweat right away at my words and straightened his posture.
It’s an expert and nabal, and if you get caught wrong, you’ll die at my hands.
“Why on earth are there so many people who want to eat innocent people’s backs… … There will be hardly any demons anymore.”
“No, that me… … I do have circumstances, too.”
“What.”
“therefore… … .”
He said while looking at the boss who was trying to tell a desperate story with his head banged up.
“Ah, if you say that you were a knight who lived a solid life in the center, but came here in despair at the difference in talent, I will break your head, so think carefully.”
“… … .”
“Could it really be that?”
At my words, the thief leader’s shoulders went down.
Somehow I didn’t like that attitude, so I sneakily hit the head with a staff.
“Really, turn around.”
“Keah uh uh uh uh… … !”
When I gently lifted the staff, the boss thing moved behind me with my head stuck in it.
Anyway, that’s the problem.
These types of guys need to be beaten to come to their senses… … Why is it so difficult to solve the problem in a peaceful way?
It was a time when I was tapping tuk-tuk thieves for fun and reflecting on my life.
“There… … .”
“hmm?”
When I turned my head, the ‘hero’ in question, who had been crudely imitating me, was looking at me cautiously.
Hesitating seems like he knows what he did wrong.
“I know it’s rude, but ho ho, by any chance… … .”
Cautiously, he asked me.
“… … Are you a warrior?”
The words sounded roughly like this in my head.
hey warrior
iced coffee.
“So, are you a warrior?”
“yes?”
“No, that was just what I said.”
But the sorcerer is right.
I don’t think he impersonated me for a perverted purpose, but… … .
Whatever.
“You don’t know best.”
Even if the impersonator reacts like this, it’s kind of funny.
“ah.”
A hardened warrior who opened his mouth to my words.
Soon after, the whole body trembled and showed signs of great fear.
He smiled and asked the boy.
“Didn’t you know we would meet?”
“No that… … .”
The guy staring at me with a pale blue face and trembling.
He turned his gaze toward the people behind him.
There are not that many wounds.
On the other hand, the guy in front of me right now is a complete wreck. It seems that the circle was also used excessively, and the harpoon came from the very inside.
I must have been really desperate and somehow protected the people behind me.
Yes, like ‘the warrior of the world’.
In general, it is correct to punish those who impersonate me without permission.
‘This is ambiguous again.’
If you did this with bad intentions, or if the results were bad, you would break your head, but that’s not the case.
Even if they were on the defensive before I came, it is still true that this guy protected them.
“I’m sorry… … !”
“stop.”
I immediately stopped the guy who was about to hit me in the head like a thief.
“Don’t bow your head in front of the people you saved. You may not know about me, but to them you are a hero.”
“ah.”
“First of all, these.”
I snapped my fingers at the group of thieves who were banging their heads.
“< Go. >”
“Ah ah… … ?!”
In an instant, the group of thieves all moved to the guards of the ‘proper territory’ they had designated.
I’ve told you about it in advance, so I’ll take care of it on my own.
“Uh uh… … ?!”
The warrior who was looking at it looked at me with his mouth open.
“To move that many people all at once… … Even without preparation… … .”
“Well, that’s okay.”
First of all, the culprit of the problem of ‘bandits’ has been solved.
All that remains are the victims suffered by the thieves.
‘How do I do this?’
Because I cast a perception-disabling spell on the spot, they are still in a situation where they are not fully aware of me and the impersonator.
It might just be clear.
It’s just my impersonator who saved you, it’s not real.
But somehow I don’t like it.
If so, in this case.
“now.”
mate!
After concluding, he clapped his hands as he dispelled the perception-damping magic.
“Good luck everyone! Thanks to this friend here, it seems like we somehow got over a big crisis.”
“Has it been resolved?”
“Yes yes. What is it thanks to?”
I said that and patted him on the shoulder.
“Release your expression, my friend.”
“Yes yes yes… … !”
A warrior who manages his expression somehow and smiles beside me.
“So everyone. Do you have a place to live separately?”
“That is… … .”
At those words, people averted their eyes, but were unable to speak.
“By the way, that… … who helped… … What about the magician?”
“Ah me.”
What should I introduce?
At a glance, they seemed to have noticed the possibility that I was a ‘hero’ to some extent.
Maybe that’s why, I noticed that he was making an anxious expression while looking around between me and the warrior.
“As you can see, the warrior is called ‘Mikhail Walpurgis’.”
“ah… … !”
At those words, everyone’s complexion changed. That’s right, the expression.
However, at the same time, the gaze toward the warrior has also strangely changed. Of course, there was no way he couldn’t feel that gaze because he was a warrior.
“That’s it… … .”
The boy trembled with his head bowed with a black dead face.
precarious atmosphere.
If I simply identified this guy as an impersonator here, he would be losing face.
It doesn’t matter.
It’s true that he pretended to be without permission, but there’s no reason to cover it up for me.
but.
“I entrusted some work to this friend here because I was busy, and I am glad that he did a good job.”
“… … ?!”
At my words, the warrior who had been watching from the side raised his head.
The expression that he did not know that I would defend himself.
I said something through telepathy without turning my head to the guy who was about to open his mouth.
– Agari.
“… … !”
The guy who quickly shuts his mouth.
I don’t know anything else, but it’s fortunate that it seems to be as quick as one judgment of the situation.
Anyway, I calmed down by laughing hahahoho with the people in a subtle atmosphere.
“Oh, so this person who protected us… … Are you saying that the hero was the one who temporarily acted as an agent?”
“That’s right. I’m so glad this guy did a good job.”
I said that and patted the tuk-tuk guy on the shoulder.
[Hey, Mikhail’s temper has died a lot. The impersonator doesn’t even break his head.]
“… … .”
But to be honest, even when I think about it, I think my temper has died a bit.
In a sense, it is liberation.
Anyway, thanks to what I said, people nodded in agreement and bowed their heads at us.
And after a while, an old man who seemed to be the representative of them came out and said to me.
“As I said earlier, that… … In fact, we are not currently affiliated with the territory… … .”
“What do you mean?”
“That is… … Three years ago, the world was turned upside down and quite a few estates collapsed.”
“It was.”
I tried to compete with the Demon God somehow, but it wasn’t without damage in the process.
No, strictly speaking, it was big.
It was just less than we expected, but looking at it objectively, the damage could not be seen as small.
Many kingdoms and territories fell to monsters and demons.
No matter how hard I tried to protect it, there was no choice but to have a limit.
Three years after the disappearance of the Demon God.
During the three years, the world has been restored quite a bit, but that doesn’t mean it’s ‘perfect’.
What about those who have already lost?
“Of course, there is no need for the hero to be concerned. We are who we are today because the hero gave us so much strength… … .”
“… … .”
“For just that reason, we are now looking for habitable land… … .”
Even if you try to start something in a new land, you don’t have that energy.
I lack the wealth and ability.
In that process, did you end up going around the world like this?
[…] … It’s not easy.]
That’s right.
I nodded at Set’s words and looked at them.
surely… … Maybe it’s because he’s been wandering around the world for three years, but his condition is unreasonable.
responsibility.
It’s true that I’m traveling for a bucket list, but I don’t want to leave this responsibility alone.
“Wise, are there any estates around that can accommodate this amount of people?”
“There is none. If you ask me in the first place, I will do anything.”
After that, he selected a territory that could accommodate them in his head and wrote a letter to the lord.
“What good. Get this first and hand it in to the guards when you arrive at the manor. Then he will know how to help you.”
“If it’s Yeongji… … Where are you talking?”
“Yeah.”
Seeing those who tilted their heads, I smiled widely and lightly snapped my fingers.
“This is where you will arrive now.”
And teleport at the same time.
Hoo-wook.
“… … uh?”
Those who looked at me with bewildered expressions and then disappeared.
He should have moved to the territory he had in mind by now. Of course, somewhere, Count Draculion.
Now, as a self-governing territory, it is a land where I am the nominal lord.
It seemed that Young Ji-min was lacking, so it turned out rather well.
Then I’ll solve this one too.
“Now.”
I turned to the impersonator.
“Is it your turn now?”
“Uh uh… … Yes yep!”
“So what do you say?”
“That sin, that sin… … .”
At the sight of me, he was trembling with his blue eyes.
“I’m so sorry!”
thud!
Suddenly, I hit my head on the ground and lifted my legs up toward the sky.
Truly the perfect handstand.
A warm smile naturally flowed out without my knowledge at that polite way of apologizing.
“Heh heh, he’s a friend who learned a little bit.”
That’s what an apology does.
