70 – Episode 65: Wizard’s Village – 6

In conclusion, it is solved.

“Ugh, ugh… waist… .”

“I think I broke my arm… .”

“Ugh, the head… .”

The villagers groaned in pain.

I haven’t slept for two days and I’ve beaten and destroyed the whole village, but it must be strange that I’m fine.

“Finally it’s over… .”

We weren’t all right either.

He looked haggard because he had stayed up all night with his eyes open for two days and hadn’t even had a proper meal.

The tension was released and he was about to collapse.

Then, one thing suddenly came to my mind.

‘Wait a minute… If you look into the reasons why the village has become this way, this is all… .’

I looked at Kyoko, who was sleeping peacefully.

I was speechless for a moment and grabbed my head.

In an instant, my mind flashed.

First, Termel’s potion reimbursement cost.

The cost of treating the villagers’ aftereffects from berserk.

And the cost of restoring the village, which has been ruined as if it had been bombed.

In addition, up to other compensation.

Now, this was all we had to ask.

Naturally, we have neither the ability nor the money to compensate.

The moment the residents wake up, we rummage.

They may be stoned, lynched en masse, or hanged and burned.

No matter which way I tried, there was no way to survive.

So, there was only one option I could make.

“Zeke. Are you making any money here?”

“Yes, I did save a little… .”

“I’m sorry, but I’ll have to pay for that. And you have to jump out of here quickly.”

I reached out to Zeke.

Zeke looked bewildered.

“My, did I do something wrong and run away? And again, why do I have to pay?”

“Hey, can’t you see those people over there?”

I pointed to a group of people lying on the floor.

People whose body parts are covered with ice. They were residents who were under Zeke’s magic.

“That’s because Joo-hyeok ordered it while we were running away!”

“You did it anyway. If people tell me that I did it because someone else ordered me to do it, I will forgive them. ”

“that… .”

“The bottom line is that you are also an accomplice. If you stay in this town, you’ll end up in a bad way. And you felt it too. How immature your magic level is.”

Zeke’s expression was taken aback.

Over the past two days, Zeke’s overflowing confidence has disappeared.

To be honest, I would feel a sense of skepticism if the effect of magic wears off after a while.

Noticing that, I continued to speak.

“For now, let’s go back, and when the residents calm down and save some money, we’ll come back and apologize properly. got it?”

I didn’t forget to gently appease.

“… … … That’s right. I must have been lacking in education.”

Zeke finally gave up his stubbornness and agreed.

I got up and quickly looked around.

Then he found Isabelle, Lynn, and Misha lying face down on the floor.

“wake up! hurry!”

I shouted urgently in a whisper, but they couldn’t wake up easily, probably because of fatigue.

Currently, a wagon is moored at the entrance of the village.

People are waking up here one by one. Time was tight.

Reluctantly, I called Zeke and together we decided to move them to the wagon.

“wake up. Kyoko.”

The culprit behind the incident was still not waking up from the dreamland. It felt like my stomach was upset, but I held it in and shook her awake.

“Yes… Sleep for 5 more minutes… .”

The reason I was holding on to for a moment was cut off for a moment.

“Wake up!!!”

Baka-!

Kyoko grabbed the top of her head and rolled on the floor.

It felt a little bit cooler.

After waiting for Zeke for a while, he wrote two notes one after the other along with a small amount of reparation money and posted them in the town square.

“Yes, we must live and see… .”

I put the guilt behind me and turned my back.

We quickly moved to the entrance of the village, taking Kyoko who was sobbing with tears in her eyes.

“Demian, let’s go! Hurry to the next town!”

Sudden departure request.

Damian nodded as if he was already used to it.

He grabbed the reins with a tired look and quickly started to leave the village.

At that time, in front of the bulletin board in the town square, there were two notes with these contents attached along with some gold coins.

…

…

…

[I destroyed everything in this village. i’m evil ha ha I took the medicine with the potion I was fine with. I can rule the villagers!]

[ -Asmodians come and go- ]

…

…

…

[We are warriors passing by, but the town is in a mess, so I feel sorry for you, so I’m leaving. It’s an insignificant amount, but please contribute to the revival.

I want to go see the awakening, but I have to stop the brutal demons before they cause more damage, so I’ll go first.]

[- Warriors passing by -]

…

…

…

The way back to Louis again.

It was a temporary measure, but it bothered me that I came after hitting a gura that didn’t work.

I scratched the back of my head and said to Zeke.

“Hey Zeke… .”

“Yeah, whatever you say… ?”

“If the villagers come looking for you, they say that you didn’t know anything and ran away because you were scared when you saw the demons appear.”

Zeke understood what he was saying and nodded.

I felt remorse.

No matter how much the demons are, can they be framed like this?

It’s embarrassing, but let’s just think of it as the demon’s karma.

It would be impossible for the demons to hear it anyway.

No matter what the process was, in the end, I succeeded in persuading Zeke, so that was enough.

So the wagon drove along with great speed.

* * *

“Ugh, it feels like every member of my body has been crushed… .”

“Pain you can feel! Are you… ? what happened.”

“Kyaung… .”

After a while, they and Misha, who had fallen down, came to their senses. The girls who stood up with a song sounded like they didn’t remember what they had done.

“… … So, Isabel and I ran like madmen after drinking that potion, right?”

“It is as you said.”

“It’s shocking… After all, others cannot. believe.”

Rin took a deep breath and squeezed Isabel’s shoulder with a trembling hand.

“It’s all your fault, Isabelle! Didn’t I tell you not to take that potion because it’s something you don’t like! Even if you didn’t force me to feed me the potion!”

“Umm… . forget it no see. It’s already past.”

“I won’t trust you anymore! You don’t always think about the future like that… .”

Seeing the two of them fighting as usual, it seems that there are no major injuries anywhere.

“But why Joo Hyuk? Why was it given to that potion? A heinous effect?”

“Ah, that… .”

I looked at Kyoko next to me.

When she made eye contact with me, she stared straight into the distance. Then he even blew a whistle awkwardly.

Yeah, I’m going to get rid of pretentiousness like this, right?

“It’s a bit difficult to say, but I have it anyway… . For the person who made it, I’ll take care of it later, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

I smiled at Kyoko, who glanced at me.

Upon hearing my words, her expression instantly turned pale.

Kyoko gave me a desperate look as if asking to see it just once.

He smiled at Kyoko and shook his head.

Meanwhile, the carriage arrived at the village.

* * *

We headed to Louie’s cabin with Zeke.

After knocking on the door a couple of times, I heard a crackling sound from inside.

Soon after, Louis hurriedly opened the front door and came out.

After confirming Sieg’s lowered head, Louis silently approached.

“S-Master… I’m sorry. I… .”

Louis held Sieg in his arms.

Zeke thought he was going to eat a lot of swearing, but his expression was taken aback by the unexpected situation.

“It came back really, really well. I’ve been regretting that I’ve hurt you, Zeke, because I’m not around. It’s all my fault.”

“No, Master… All because I was stubborn… .”

“Hey Zeke. Before you were my disciple, you are like a grandson to this old man. I will respect your method in the future as well. Never leave again.”

Even if Louis said that, it seemed that he was worried deep inside. Laughter did not leave our lips at the touching scene that warmed our hearts.

After a while, Louie approached us.

“To be honest, I didn’t believe you. But to bring Zeke safely like this, I’m just grateful.”

“No, it was commissioned, but it is natural.”

“By the way… It feels like it took a little while, but did something happen?”

He was a good old man.

I answered Louis with an exaggerated smile.

“haha. no. Nothing happened.”

“That’s right… what happened Since you have successfully completed the request, I should tell you the information you want.”

Finally, it’s time to get information about the next transcendence species.

“As for my story with him, it goes back 50 years ago, when I just became an adult… .”

“I am not curious. Go ahead and talk about the main topic.”

“Young people these days don’t know what romance is… .”

As Louis tried to start reminiscing about the past, Rin cut off his pulse with a single knife. He grumbled, but continued talking.

“He is a great wizard who has lived for thousands of years and achieved a far-off level of magic.”

* * *

Louie’s explanation continued for about ten minutes.

He sounds like a majestic archmage.

However, it was the same with the unicorn, so jumping to conclusions is prohibited.

People in this world tend to deify those crazy psychopaths.

“Okay, is there anything else you need?”

“No, this is enough.”

We prepared for our parting by receiving some equipment from Louis and a map containing the location of the Transcendence Bell.

“It was short, but I owe a lot to you. Next time we meet, I will improve my magic so that I can use more perfect magic.”

“Take it easy. During the growing season, you need to give your head time to rest.”

“Yep. everyone. Be careful on your future journey as well.”

We said goodbye to Zeke.

With the incident in the next town as an opportunity, Sieg will probably be able to grow greatly.

Because if a talented guy works hard, he becomes terribly strong.

“I don’t know what the purpose is, but if you meet him, don’t do anything against my word.”

Louis warned and warned until the end.

It was only after he said that he would always understand that he returned to the cabin without any regrets with a word to be careful.

We, too, were about to return to the carriage, but suddenly felt empty.

Kyoko had disappeared somewhere.

However, I was able to find it quickly because I walked while leaving clear footprints.

It seems that he ran away for a while because he didn’t like being beaten.

“Kyoko? Where are you going in such a hurry?”

Kyoko, who was secretly heading towards the carriage, seemed startled by my question from behind. With an awkward smile, she opened her mouth.

“I’m a little tired, so I’m going to go to the carriage in advance… . Too much in the last few days… .”

“That makes sense.”

“I, really… ?”

“It’s a bad word.”

That day, Kyoko received three honey chestnuts.
