48. Take a number ticket and come. (2)

Finishing the qualifying round with difficulty.

When he returned to the inn, for some reason, a man he had never met stood in front of him.

A fairly neat impression.

And a man with glasses.

At first glance, it seems like they have built a wall from the battle… … .

You could tell by looking at him that he was quite an unmanned man.

‘As for the weapon, it’s a long weapon rather than a sword.’

The calloused skin on his hands and his moderately trained, agile body.

At first glance, it seemed to be full of gaps, but the refined, seasoned momentum was showing that it was a fabricated loophole.

I’m as strong as Dagnes before I learned the sword.

And this unique atmosphere, although I’m not sure, must be a mercenary.

He made a clean impression, but his sharp momentum was clearly characteristic of a mercenary.

It’s not just a pass or something.

Apparently waiting for someone.

However, there is no reason why a mercenary of that level would find me.

I even had a face I didn’t know there.

I was just trying to pass by. Seeing my face, he lit up.

“Kale Gongja! Are you right? I was waiting.”

“… … who are you?”

Cancel with nothing to find.

For some reason the man knew my name.

I asked, frowning.

no.

In fact, it is not so strange that the man knows his name.

If you’re an aristocrat or a person with a keen eye for society, you’ve probably heard of it at least once.

Duchess of Reinhardt’s, crazy Cale.

Of course, it wasn’t famous in a good way.

There was no way a human who knew my name would come to me.

Rather, it would be a target if it was something to be avoided.

Nevertheless, if he was ‘looking for’ me, there must have been a corresponding reason.

“It’s a bit like that to say at the beginning. Our ‘King’ is looking for Prince Kale.”

“… … king?”

No matter how you look at it, you don’t look like a member of the royal family or an aristocrat.

Talking too.

He was being a little kind, but the mercenary’s characteristic sloppy tone remained.

‘no. … … Rather, is that the king?’

Even if you look at the entire continent, there are only a few who can claim to be ‘king’.

in the first place.

Excluding the Kaisha Empire, there were only a handful of ‘countries’.

however.

If it is not a king in the true sense, but a king in a figurative sense.

There is only one left.

A person who can claim to be a ‘king’ himself, even though he is not a king in the true sense.

With a stature and strength that no one can dispute.

A strong man who has risen to the pinnacle in the world of mercenaries.

“It’s late, but let me introduce myself. My name is Eric from the Hestia Mercenary Corps.”

okay.

Only the mercenary king, Hestia, will remain.

Eric.

The man who introduced his name bowed his head.

Also a very respectful attitude.

Although it was called the Hestia Mercenary Corps.

The status of the mercenaries was more than a mere mercenary organization.

A level that is close to one country with its status alone.

Do I have to be a fairly high aristocrat?

It was said that there was no need to come out so politely.

Because they are not such a family in the first place.

There is one target they respectfully bow their heads to.

He is stronger than himself.

But that’s how it comes out.

… … Could it be that he noticed that it was me who made a fuss in the first qualifying round?

It was terrifying for a moment.

Looking back, it couldn’t have been.

As the name suggests, the Hestia Mercenary Corps has many people who are very talkative.

If rumors had spread within that mercenary group that I was the owner of the topic.

… … Perhaps the people of the entire empire knew about it by now.

“… … The Hestia Mercenary Corps, why did you come to see me?”

“Like I said. Our king was looking for Prince Cale.”

therefore.

Why is your king looking for me?

I wanted to ask that, but I held it tight.

Mercenary King Hestia.

It was because she was a person whose thoughts could not be grasped in the exact opposite sense from Rin.

If Rin couldn’t quite fathom that thought.

Hestia is a great person who handles things quite spontaneously according to her thoughts.

… … There is a high probability that even his subordinates do not know that thought.

“Oh, and after getting to know Prince Cale, he said that too. It was regrettable about the ‘sword’.”

“‘knife’… … Oh, is that what you are talking about?”

Come to think of it, it wasn’t the first time he was involved with the Hestia mercenaries.

The auction I participated in to obtain Lucia’s elixir.

At that auction, a member of the Hestia mercenary corps ran away with the ‘sword’.

Although I caught it.

“No, what. it’s okay.”

It wasn’t even what I was going to buy in the first place.

It is also strange to claim ownership.

It was only because the original owner of the sword suddenly said, “The sword has found its owner,” and it became my sword because I held it in my hand.

Above all, the Hestia Mercenary Corps must have paid the price for that.

by the way.

From nob le mt l. co m

Judging from the fact that he brought up the story late, it seems that he didn’t approach me knowing that I was Cale.

“… … yes what We will think about it and contact you. I am a bit tired now.”

Of course, I have no intention of contacting you.

I’m still bothered to death, but the mercenary king is a mercenary king who will freeze to death.

There are already too many entanglements even with the iron-blooded empress.

But this much should be enough to get out of the way.

Humans called mercenaries were often rude.

I said that roughly and passed him by.

tried to pass

chin.

Until Eric grabbed my arm as it passed.

“… … under. How should I take this?”

“Wait a minute, please.”

This clearly crossed the line.

Anyway, I am noble.

Even if the opponent is a member of the Hestia Mercenary Corps.

Because it couldn’t be easy to lay hands on a noble’s body.

“Did you mean to bring me right now?”

“The sooner you bring it, the better.”

Maybe.

It seems that he has no intention of going over there too lukewarmly.

For a moment, I was dumbfounded and laughed out loud.

Before I could raise my aura or shake off his hand.

Suddenly a voice rang out.

“… … Dare you know who it is and put your hand on it?”

familiar voice. familiar speech.

And what followed was magic.

Paperweight!

The magic was cast before Eric or I had time to react.

Eric, who grabbed my wrist, suddenly rolled his eyes.

“Ahh, that’s it!”

Eric convulsed as he fell to the floor of a paralyzed sheep.

Although it was not familiar magic.

It was a familiar magic.

A very violent magic that is merciless to the enemy.

And a wizard who uses this kind of magic. i knew one

“Kale. Are your arms okay?”

Silver hair that glistened like the night sky embroidered with stars.

A half-up ponytail styled with lightly ponytails.

And on top of that, to add a little empty talk, her immaculate skin looks like she’s never seen the sun before.

“Lucia? why are you here… … ?”

“I heard you were participating in the martial arts festival, so I came to cheer you on. Tsk, originally I thought it would surprise me even more.”

No, I was surprised enough.

Didn’t she say that she would stay in the Magic Tower?

You said you wouldn’t come out until you’ve recovered your strength to some extent?

“Circle, how far have you recovered? Judging from the magic I just used, it seems like I have crossed the 5th circle.”

I don’t know much about magic.

Still, the only time I matched up with Lucia in the previous episode was on a yearly basis.

I’m not familiar with the magic she used, but I’ve seen it before.

5 circle paralysis magic. Parallize.

Because the person affected by the magic used to tremble as if they had been electrocuted just like that.

so ask

“hmm. Well, how many circles do you think kale?”

“… … Aha, am I supposed to match this?”

Rather, Lucia asks me to guess, and throws a question back.

I laughed at him as if I was a little embarrassed.

Of course, I won’t say anything wrong.

If you set it too low, you might think I’m underestimating Lucia.

On the other hand, if I set it too high, I might think that I didn’t live up to my expectations.

It’s only been a month since then.

Even if it’s already reached once.

No, rather, it must have been difficult to reach that level because it was a level that had been reached only once.

Weaving a circle is an area that requires enlightenment, not simple labor.

It also accumulates automatically when you have a lot of magic power.

It’s not like you can skip all of them just because you already have memories of making up to the 8th circle.

It was an area where I had to grow by giving new answers step by step again.

Therefore, the conclusion reached after the inference.

“Circle 6?”

“Ding. Wrong. Because it’s the 7th circle?”

“… … What, 7th circle already?”

While talking to Eric, who was convulsing on the floor, he didn’t even pay attention.

Startle.

Suddenly, Lucia turned her head as if she sensed something.

Right before I sense something strange half a beat late.

“No way, I thought he had a 7th circle mage as his subordinate. I didn’t know this.”

Another new voice interrupted.

The voice came from behind me.

Caught behind——.

before you even realize it. Teleport magic was cast from Lucia’s hand.

Dig!

distance in an instant.

The woman who saw it put a smile on her lips as if she was having fun.

“Oh, the reaction rate also passed. Originally, I was interested in this… … Are you interested in that too? Do you think the chaff is much better than the wizards?”

“I’m sorry. Is it rude to compare you to the old people of the Mage Tower?”

Lucia responds like that without being pushed at all.

However, until he came right behind him, he didn’t feel the presence at all.

me too. Lucia too.

Although Lucia reacted a little faster and used teleport.

‘No matter how much my body doesn’t look like the old days, it’s different that I gave up.’

What it said was simple.

opponent. That it is stronger than imagined.

Tall, waist-deep black hair and blonde hair uniquely positioned like a bridge.

Stretching out her long legs showing off her smooth legs, she lightly trampled on Eric.

back.

“sorry. First of all, I must apologize. I told you to bring it as politely as possible… … . I never thought this guy would come out like this.”

The one who made Eric ‘bring me’.

In both name and reality, a heroine who can be said to be humanity’s strongest force at the present time.

Mercenary King Hestia.

There was no reason to lengthen the proof.

her existence. With that spirit alone, I could tell that she was ‘Hestia’.

Although he did not deliberately show a sense of intimidation with magic or aura.

There was a momentum that inevitably came out unless you deliberately tried to hide the uniqueness of the strong.

‘… … Lucia also says that, but seems a bit nervous.’

That would be natural.

Hestia would be an opponent that would make her nervous even if she brought a sword master with her.

however.

Lucia’s face, which had looked slightly nervous until just now, suddenly changed.

“… … So, you came to see Cale?”

Duduk.

raising the corners of the mouth.

Lucia snapped her fingers, as if her nervousness just now was a lie.

“I’m sorry. Are there more people in a hurry than you? therefore… … Take a number ticket and come.”

If you want to mix a word with Kale.

In Lucia’s voice saying that.

For some reason, there was a feeling of intimidation.
