Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 399

The great mage who transcends by regression Episode 27

They say there is no one to trust in the world.

I covered my face as I looked at the idiot named ‘Lian Paslov’ who was proudly looking at me.

no

‘I wasn’t originally like this.’

Before the return, I frowned as I remembered Lian immediately after the return.

What was this old guy like?

The distinction between public and private affairs was thorough, and his ability as a commander was outstanding.

Besides, I had a sense of responsibility, so I was able to trust and entrust the work.

I raised my head again.

“Ah, the bone was hit, the bone!”

One fool was shouting.

People around me call me grand master or hero, but to me, he’s just an idiot.

No, what kind of hero kidnaps an innocent king in broad daylight?

“after.”

I sighed and looked at Leo II, the king of the Ilkhan Small Kingdom, who was staring at us with a bewildered expression.

“I am really sorry to see you like this.”

“That is me too… … .”

During that short period of time, Leo II nodded his head with an aged face.

Well, he must be more sorry than I am.

Didn’t commit a crime, just kidnap the king who was ruling the kingdom well in broad daylight?

What’s not funny about this?

“So, Your Highness, how have you been? Why on earth is this mischievous thing, Your innocent Highness… … .”

“I’m just going to work and come to my senses, so I don’t know because it’s here… … .”

“… … .”

“The head of the Royal Guard would have been guarding the front of the office, but it was of no use.”

“… … okay.”

Well, isn’t Lian the pinnacle of imperial swordsman after all? No, it wouldn’t be strange to call it a world rather than an empire.

Even before the return, the Grand Master was at an unprecedented level.

Shaking his head, he asked Ryan.

“So what the hell did you do?”

“Give me a chance to explain.”

After saying that with a stern and serious expression, Lian glanced around.

Then he looked at me.

– Doesn’t the king know better? So I just asked for your cooperation.

cooperation (without permission).

no this kid is real

He said so via telepathy.

The way he said it was so confident that I wondered if he really believed anything.

“for a moment.”

Leo II, who had been quiet at that time, widened his eyes and this time headed towards Eileen behind him.

“Even Eileen Lindell… … .”

“… … .”

Eileen quietly covered her face with her hands and crawled into a corner.

I didn’t do anything, but in this situation, I was treated as a set, so I was quite ashamed.

A sigh came out, but on the other hand, there were parts that were understandable.

There were so many tasks given to Rian recently, and there must have been times when special measures were needed to solve them in a short time.

Even the Empire implicitly supported Lian’s actions.

But that’s an empire story.

I gritted my teeth and glared at Lian.

– Is this an empire?

– No, after doing this for 3 years, it became a habit and I forgot about it for a while… … .

Besides, since I, the hero himself, was also with him, it seemed that he was just going to deal with the matter quickly.

It wouldn’t matter if this was when the Demon God was still intact… … .

“… … .”

The problem is that now is not such a time. A strange silence passed between Leo II and us.

However, he is not a good monarch in this area for nothing.

Instead of showing anger, Leo II calmly settled the situation.

“I want to know. Why did the heroes who saved the world invite me here… … .”

“It’s that simple!”

Lian, who had been kicking an additional knee from me just before, stood up like a ghost.

I can’t believe he would stand up without incident even after being hit by it. In the meantime, has durability been strengthened?

‘It deserves to be strengthened.’

It’s because he didn’t show it, so he was really sick of being beaten the whole time he was fighting the demons.

Even if that was unfair, the body had no choice but to be strengthened.

Anyway, Lian continued.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the devil’s tricks are currently spreading in the small Ilkan kingdom.”

“… … Of course I know.”

Leo II nodded with a dark expression. Even though the shame of the kingdom is clear, he doesn’t even try to deny it.

Perhaps he decided that there would be no use hiding it from us.

“The awareness itself was doing it right away. However, the problem spread too quickly.”

“… … hmm.”

I checked my mind once again about this devil’s problem.

If you dare to name it, you could call it the ‘demon of nightmares’.

There must be a side similar to the twin demons that caused all kinds of problems in the past.

‘Is this… … Is it a growth type?’

Sometimes there are demons like that.

Normally, it’s just a low-level demon, but if a few ‘conditions’ are met, it becomes a threat.

A nightmare and its reappearance.

Certainly, if the conditions are right, isn’t it a force that can be threatening?

‘But anyway, there must be a limit of the devil’s nature… … .’

Of course, no matter what I do, it cannot be compared to the Great Devil who received the grace of the Demon God.

The word ‘threatening’ means that the sacrifices can be significant.

“As you know, our kingdom is not very large. It is small compared to other countries in the vicinity, let alone an empire.”

“However, thanks to Your Highness’ competence, the small Ilkhan kingdom has been maintained in good health.”

“Since Sir Lian said so, I don’t feel bad from my point of view… … .”

After saying that, Leo II let out another deep sigh.

“Is it too serious?”

“To some extent, yes.”

I was spoken on behalf of Lian.

Of course, it is within the scope of what I can do.

But when it comes to raising issues, isn’t it better to exaggerate seriously?

Besides, even looking at the cancer, it’s clear that Lian did it… … .

If that’s the case, here I am joking around and sorting out the situation somehow.

“The reason why I set up a meeting with Your Highness in such an unsavory way is because I was in a hurry.”

“That means… … !”

Leo II shouted with a pale face.

“It is also possible that one of my aides has succumbed to the devil… … !”

“… … .”

Is it wrong?

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it’s going to be that serious… … .

ah i don’t know

“That’s right!”

Let’s take a quick look at it.

Well, fortunately, the kingdom was at peace! Because it’s something that needs to be finished.

“Yeah too… … !”

With a pale face, Leo II shouted as if he had realized.

“Then, the truth I had been guessing for a long time was correct! The demon in question was intent on turning our kingdom into his own weapon, intending to take revenge on the hero who had ruined him!”

“… … .”

“And for that, through ‘nightmare’ and ‘reenactment’, we must extract strength from the people of our small kingdom little by little and use the gathered power to recreate the hero’s nightmare!”

“… … .”

“No, maybe it could have been reproduced! sure! For that, he would have imitated an aide next to me and extended his cunning hand, and he would have been slowly eroding the kingdom from where I couldn’t see… … .”

I quietly listened to Leo II’s words and tilted my head.

“That’s wrong… … go?”

“yes?”

“No, nothing. Keep talking.”

The plan is so specific that it’s hard for me to follow right away. This is rather tempting for me.

Anyway, Leo II explained to us in detail what he had experienced, saying that he had been feeling ominous for a long time.

“… … That’s how it happened.”

“hmm.”

I don’t know what it is, but I decided to look at Lian first. Coincidentally, Ryan also looked at me.

‘Wrong?’

‘I guess so?’

Around the time we exchanged our thoughts, we were nodding our heads and talking to Leo II.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness!”

First of all, there is no reason to refuse, even though Leo II will understand it on his own.

At my words, Leo II clapped his hands while shedding tears of emotion as if he understood what and how.

“As expected, you are a warrior!”

“… … .”

I don’t even know what I did.

But anyway, Leo II seems to have convinced himself, so it’s okay to follow that.

Then Leo II continued.

“I’m glad. The church government said that they would send a paladin to help us, but if the hero also contributes… … .”

“… … Are you a paladin?”

“Yes, I know the warrior as someone who knows him well. I once competed for the position of a hero… … .”

no no no

Aye, could it be him? probably not

“Sir Siegfried!”

“… … .”

That’s right, that bastard.

* * *

“Is this here?”

Siegfried was dispatched outside the Kingdom for work without fail, trying hard to get rid of the nuisance.

Scratching his roughly washed hair, he finally arrived at the ‘Little Ilkhan Kingdom’.

There are only a handful of demons left, and their level is not high, but they are still a threat to ordinary people and small kingdoms.

Paladins like Siegfried exist for such people.

yes paladin… … .

– Siegfried Don’t you think of the general manager now?

Paladin… … .

– Should I remember? This is a notice, not a solicitation.

“… … .”

Siegfried let out a small sigh, thinking of the recent leader of the Holy Knights who was strangely active in giving up the position.

“Ehh.”

Did you say you wanted to try farming?

I don’t know why there are so many people around the world who are so anxious about not being able to hand over their seats to their heirs.

In fact, this dispatch was also one of the ways to escape from the threat of the Holy Knight Commander.

‘If I become the leader, of course I’ll have to work that much.’

hate!

If it was in the past, Siegfried now is just a person who hopes for a machine that makes shit every day.

I want to live comfortably.

With that in mind, Siegfried came out of the building.

As soon as you come out, the whole view of the small kingdom of Ilkhan unfolds in front of you.

“oh.”

Siegfried looked around, involuntarily admiring the well-balanced scenery.

It’s not overwhelming or splendid like the capital of a kingdom or empire, but it really shows what a ‘balanced’ city feels like.

“Wouldn’t be bad for a vacation spot.”

Not to mention, the small kingdom of Ilkhan was also a land that was quite popular as a resort on the continent.

Not only the natural scenery is beautiful, but also the security is stable and quiet.

Siegfried moved on, thinking in his heart that this task could be delayed a little.

Anyway, I have to arrive at the palace as scheduled, have an audience with King Leo II of the small kingdom of Ilkhan, and do my job… … .

“… … hmm?”

Ironically, it was not Leo II, the current client, that he saw as soon as he arrived at the palace.

“Mikhail?”

“… … OK.”

Mikhail, who seemed to be several years older than usual, stood there with an expression devoid of enthusiasm.
