Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 389

The great mage who transcends by returning Episode 17 The Demon

‘s Disappearance The Hero’s Victory.

What happened three years ago had a profound impact on the world.

People no longer have to fear the presence of demons, nor need to be wary of their temptations.

God ceased to exist, but that was not a big problem for the young people living day by day.

In the first place, it is not that the divine power, which is a symbol that allows them to directly feel the change, has disappeared.

It would be fair to say that for ordinary people this ‘world’ is better than before.

Yes, for ‘normal’ people.

“Is it just this?”

“Shouldn’t we, Nari Knight, have to live on too… … Take more from here and we’ll have nothing left… … !”

Mingel, a land city located in a rough area that is not noticed even within the Northern Empire.

The current lord of Mingel is Count Gaul Lil, who has a good reputation as a lord within the territory.

‘Earl’ is by no means a low title, but in the case of the Earl of Lille, the prospect is very dark.

Especially in the generation of the current count, who is rumored to be an incompetent lord.

“… … what? Are you saying that only that much was paid in taxes?”

The Count was putting all his energy into plundering his territory, as if it were natural today.

While slicing the carefully selected high-quality meat, Count Lille vented his anger.

I’ve been hearing about it lately, and I’ve been complaining a lot because I haven’t saved as much money as I thought.

What about the lords around you!

He received a considerable reward from the imperial family for dealing with demons and successfully blocking them.

Among them, Count Paslov’s family received the unprecedented award of being promoted to the family of a marquis.

But he is something.

The demons bizarrely missed the area and didn’t even get a chance to score.

‘If I had a chance, I too would have been able to receive the emperor’s favor… … !’

Of course, if the real devil had attacked the count’s estate, there is a high possibility that it would have collapsed without being able to counter it properly.

However, as incompetent people usually do, the count is also a type of person who believes he is competent.

At the Count’s anger, his knight broke into a cold sweat and said.

“This year, the harvest of the crops did not go well because the land was dry, so it seems that the taxes were not collected as much as expected… … .”

“Shut up!”

Clink!

With those words, the cup the Count was holding flew through the air.

As he was not even an official, the count glared at his knight with a swollen body.

“Should Count Vaughn even bother with that? Twist them anyway and they will come out!”

“That is… … .”

The article was stumped and could not answer.

‘I’ve already squeezed enough to squeeze, but where is there to squeeze more… … .’

I thought that in my head, but of course I didn’t say it out of my mouth. It was because he was well aware of the temperament of the nobles he served.

“Squeeze! I don’t care how many people die. After all, they are Count Vaughn’s property as long as Count Vaughn is alive!”

“That’s right.”

A lord with minimal self-interest would know that squeezing the residents beyond the limit would be a loss in the long run… … .

The Earl of Lille was not like that.

“I let the illagers go free, and they set it up on their own! Why do I have to leave this body… … !”

In a fit of rage, the count raised his heavy body.

“Where can I see you in person! Why do those little things neglect their duties so lazily!”

“… … I will serve you.”

Leaving behind the bowing knight, the count headed outside with his bloated body.

Until then, the count believed that he could punish those wicked collaborators and achieve his goal.

okay.

… … Until then.

* * *

About two more weeks have passed since I reunited with Lian. We headed to Lindel Duchy slowly without using magic.

I had a good time going through various estates.

And while on the move.

“Is today here?”

We arrived at a city.

and.

“What is the atmosphere like here?”

I was puzzled. It was because the atmosphere that I felt as soon as I crossed the gate was too gloomy.

Do you think there is no hope?

I’ve been to many estates while traveling so far, but it was good to say that there are few lands where the atmosphere has been smashed to this extent.

“There are no demons, and now monsters will only appear in certain areas, so what kind of a guy’s atmosphere is… … .”

That’s what it says.

The land is cracked, as if the intellect has declined, and the city is not properly maintained.

There was no life in the eyes of the people walking on the streets, and even if you turned your eyes a little, you could see the poor people sitting helplessly… … .

“Was this the place where the demons attacked you three years ago?”

“No absolutely not.”

It was Lian who took my word.

Rian looked around with sharp eyes and continued.

“here… … Mingel is a city belonging to the Countess of Lille, but fortunately, it is a land that has hardly been reached by demons.”

“… … But is it like this?”

Half of the land was trampled by demons, and the territory that was done today and tomorrow is now being revived, but why is time reversed here?

It was absurd.

To be honest, I was angry.

I don’t know exactly what the circumstances were, but the cause of the land that was smashed to this extent must be the lord after all.

“Who is the lord here?”

“Count Gaulil.”

Lian replied with a sigh.

“I knew the rumors weren’t good, but I really didn’t think it would be this much… … .”

“Aren’t all the incompetent ones taken care of? Are there still people like this?”

“Only three years, Mikhail.”

Ryan gave a small sigh and continued talking to me.

“Kyoguk was busy rectifying their own confusion due to the absence of God, and we were also busy rectifying the post-war situation in our own way.”

“… … hmm.”

“Anyway, the priority was to stand up to the demons and the territory that was damaged by it had to be the first priority. In the process… … This kind of place has been pushed to the lower priority.”

That’s a bit unavoidable.

Anyway, I decided to take a look around the car to check. Whatever it is, you need to know the exact condition to solve it.

“Are you thinking of leaving? I think you said it was a vacation.”

“Rian, if this situation in the territory became like this because of one incompetent and greedy lord?”

I looked at Lian quietly.

“Breaking that bastard’s head is like a vacation to me.”

“hmm.”

Ryan nodded his head with a look that seemed like he was asking something.

“Well, what kind of person are you, should I leave this alone? I’m thinking about overturning it right now, even if it’s just me.”

“Originally, there is a class to smash. It’s not a good way to do it openly.”

Saying that, I looked around.

[surely… … That’s not good.]

“As you said, if this is enough, we should just say that the lord here is incompetent and greedy.”

Set and Wise took turns assessing the condition of the estate.

It was a word that was close to harsh criticism, but the situation was such a mess that it was a waste of words.

It seemed that the villagers were all so skinny that they couldn’t eat properly, and the excessive guards didn’t seem to have the will to properly maintain public order… … .

Weiss said with a sneer.

“If there is an excellent lord, there are bound to be these kinds of people. How can all people be excellent and only good people?”

“It is, however.”

After saying that, I stopped at one point. There, a skinny, precarious child was glaring at me with his eyes wide open.

no, to be precise.

“Hey Lian. What did you do wrong?”

“No, what am I… … ?!”

Lian shouted at my words as if it was unfair. Then he shouted again.

“Looking at it, my outfit is a bit like a knight, so I’m not being wary! Looking at the territory here, it seems that the knights are almost at the level of public enemies for the people of the territory… … !”

“Well, that’s it again.”

Actually, I just said it subtly because I wanted to crave Lian, but let’s say that for now.

Took.

I snapped my fingers moderately and changed the clothes of the party including myself to a more discreet one.

Then, I felt that the child who was glaring at us had lost his guard a little.

I walked over to him and asked with a smile.

“What is your name?”

“… … Ah, this is Ain.”

“Yes, Ain.”

A skinny body unbecoming a child.

It must have been the result of being neglected without being able to eat properly.

There was still a slight wariness in Ai Ain’s eyes.

‘If a child is like this, it’s needless to say about the condition of the parents.’

Of course, it is unavoidable that there are poor people in any territory.

It is only a difference between a large number and a small number, and it is an inevitable phenomenon that exists in the world like light and darkness.

The problem is that there are too many.

In this territory, there are too many people who have been neglected in this way.

“Let me see you for a moment.”

“What what… … ?!”

I grabbed Ain’s skinny wrist and checked his body condition.

And of course.

‘It’s the worst.’

The state of Ain’s body was at a level that could not be said to be good even with empty words. The vitality flowing through her body was also quite dry, and at this rate, there was a possibility that she would become crippled without growing properly.

I poured life and mana into the child’s body.

In the first place, now I can use both mana and divine power to the extent that the distinction is meaningless.

It is not difficult to fill such a child with vitality and keep him healthy.

Ugh.

Little by little, vitality began to circulate in Ain’s body, which was surrounded by light. As soon as I felt relieved, I stopped pouring mana.

“How are you?”

“Uh uh… … ?!”

“I have a few questions I want to ask you, but first… … .”

“Are you a therapist?!”

“… … .”

Ain urgently grabs my hand and asks in a desperate voice. Of course, I’m a bit far from a therapist, but I nodded anyway.

“I know how to heal.”

If you destroy the root of evil that needs healing, wouldn’t that be a cure in its own way?

“Please… … ! me my father… … !”

“… … hmm.”

Well, the child’s condition was so skinny, but the parents would have added more. I sighed lightly and got up.

“Guide me.”

Well, first of all, let’s get this child’s parents and think about it.

* * *

That was around the time I followed Ian to his house.

“You dare to be a serf… … !”

Before I even got to the child’s house, I heard a voice filled with irritation.

When I turn my head there, I see the terrified young people.

“ah.”

And in response to the voice, Ian’s face turned blue. Perhaps the owner of the voice is the source of all his unhappiness.

“hmm.”

I have always smashed those sources of unhappiness to bring peace to the world.

It won’t be any different this time.

Thinking so, I memorized the best spell I could.

“Go Lianmon. Body slap!”

“Sibalom is real.”

Rianmon trudged away while crying.
