Beatrice entered the North.

Count Skyla found out about this only after a month had passed.

he was very angry

The North is a place you should never go light-heartedly.

A place where you don’t know when and where you will die.

In particular, due to Beatrice’s personality, she would not have been able to find a proper team.

It is very dangerous if there is no team to take turns standing guard there.

“Damn it!”

He picked up the staff hanging on one side of the office as if it were on display and used magic.

“Warp!”

The exclusive property of the 7th circle wizard,

Just by using it once, magic equal to the amount of mana of a 5th circle wizard unfolded in his hand to find his daughter.

“Beatrice! Where is Beatrice!”

As soon as he entered the northern city, he started digging through the city ‘bastion’ as if he were walking around.

“uh? Aren’t you Countess Skyla? How about here… !”

“Move! Your greetings are not important right now!”

Count Skylar, who had been roaming around the city like a runaway locomotive, finally reached the castle walls.

visor. Wow!

Queueek!

Hold on! Well done!

A loud noise was heard over and over the walls.

“This… !”

His eyes flashed open at the familiar wave of mana.

“Beatrice!”

Using magic, he climbed up to the castle wall in an instant and was immediately mesmerized by the sight he saw.

The corpses of monsters piled up in a heap.

The corpses of looters strewn among those monster corpses.

And monsters and looters and monsters still fighting.

Among them, a prosecutor who is endangered alone.

Behind him, a man barely standing holding a cane.

“Beatrice! Beatrice, are you okay!”

That man is Beatrice.

Even though it was covered with magic, he couldn’t fool his eyes as a 7th circle mage.

His precious daughter was staggering as if she were about to collapse.

‘Mana depletion phenomenon.’

This is a phenomenon that occurs when you draw the mana you have to the limit.

Dizziness comes, the whole body numb, and in severe cases, death may occur.

Even if mana ran out, the disguise was maintained because the artifact was used.

Without doing so, even if the disguise was released, it was released a long time ago.

“I will go! Open the door right now!”

“It’s not possible! Doesn’t the Count know!”

know.

You know, it’s going to be more trouble like this.

There is no way for a wizard who can no longer use magic to live.

“I came because it was noisy. Was it you Lucas?”

A man’s voice came from behind him.

“Ugh! Mercenary King!”

A choking sound can be heard all around.

Such a reaction was natural.

The man who spoke to him was none other than the mercenary king.

“Hamilton… .”

“Calm down. Don’t you know that you can’t open it just because you’re so swarming?”

“shut up. If it were your family down there, I think I would be able to talk casually like now!”

“Unfortunately I have no family.”

“You son of a dog! It’s not my job… !”

I was angry with him for saying that it was a pierced mouth.

It is a family.

With his daughter dying right in front of his eyes, no father could remain silent.

“No matter what you say, I’m going to get over it.”

“The one who knows he can’t. Do you think you can break through this shield?”

The Mercenary King tapped his fist in the air.

Tung. grip support.

Then, a spark of enormous size came out and covered his hand.

It was so powerful that if he didn’t instantly protect his hands with an aura, his hands would burn and turn into dust in an instant.

“This is a protective shield that Count Millennium worked hard with the wizards of the Mage Tower. You were there too, so you know how strong this is.”

“Awesome.”

Countess Skyla gnashed her teeth.

There was nothing wrong with the words of the mercenary king.

The protective shield of the ‘bastion’, created by all the wizards in the central mage tower, boasted tremendous defense power just like its name.

Even a sword master would have to attack dozens of days and nights to break it.

Dragons are the only beings who can instantly dismantle this level of defense.

Even the magicians of the empire often came to see the shield, so he said everything.

“Know. But it’s not that there isn’t a way. Just open the gate.”

“what? Even if you turn this around, it turned firmly.”

“hahahaha. spin? My daughter is in danger of dying and who wouldn’t turn! So get out of the way!”

The mercenary king grabbed Count Skyla by the neck as she descended the wall with a disgusted face.

Then, with all his might, he slammed it into the ground.

“What, what… Barrier!”

Wow!

The properly spread barrier and the castle wall collided and made a roar.

Contrary to the loud noise, there was not even the slightest scratch on the walls.

It is the effect of the protective film.

It is so hard that it has no effect on even moderate impact.

“Wake. And look straight ahead.”

The mercenary king lifted Count Skylar and made him stick his head out of the castle wall.

“What do you want to see?”

“Look Carefully. Do you think he would let your daughter die?”

“… .”

The mercenary king pointed to the swordsman.

Like a blade of grass struggling through a storm, he was barely swinging his sword.

It looks dangerous even at a glance, so what do you want to see?

“I heard that you have been holding on for three months. But unlike fighting for a long time, there are not many wounds.”

“… !”

“You know what this means, right? There’s no one there who can threaten him. At least if it weren’t for those two.”

His finger pointed in front of the prosecutor.

The two monsters are showing a tremendous battle to the extent that the shock is transmitted to this point.

“That woman is the ruler of the North, so even so, I have never seen that monster in my life. Fortunately, the two of them are fighting.”

“… So, from what you see, my daughter can come back alive?”

“yes. At least as long as those two don’t go after them, and as long as he doesn’t give up, your daughter is safe.”

“Sigh… .”

At the Mercenary King’s words, Count Skyla stumbled as if her body had lost strength.

If it was the mercenary king, I could trust anything he said.

Because he was the best in fighting in war.

“For now, wait. If it doesn’t work, then go and think about it.”

“… .”

Count Skyla nodded and looked down at the castle walls.

I don’t know who that prosecutor is, but if he saves his daughter, he thinks that he will never forget that grace.

***

“I endured.”

“This is great.”

Count Skylar and the Mercenary King looked down at the castle wall in a daze.

The prosecutor endured until the day the castle gate was finally opened.

“My daughter. Taal!”

Count Skylar uses magic and arrives at the castle gate in an instant.

The castle gate opened and he and the mercenary king went outside.

“Beatrice! it’s okay? Are you okay?”

“Oh, father?”

“thank god. Good thing. Let’s go back.”

“Now, for a moment… !”

Countess Skyla carried Beatrice in her arms and entered the city.

Taurin and Ahar stopped fighting.

As soon as the gates of the city opened, I looked back at me.

“Where! You are mine!”

“Give it up. Give it up!”

they rushed at me

I hurriedly turned around and tried to escape.

But the footsteps did not move. In front of me, Mahol was supporting Reina and Elise and looking back at me.

can he save me

No, it’s too much.

Those monsters will reach me faster than the speed at which Mahol comes to me.

‘Damn it. How did you survive?’

My whole body stiffened.

As if I had become a wooden doll, I did not move according to my will.

The grip that had been wielding the sword had been ripped off as if it had been bitten by a beast, and the flesh was torn.

Can’t even wield a sword.

I don’t even have the strength to do that.

‘Is this the end?’

Consciousness clouded.

The string of tension that I didn’t miss until the end, I let go of my mind in an instant.

“Good work.”

Someone hugged my collapsing body.

“Now rest… .”

His face blurs as he hugs me.

aaagh!

My vision was blacked out with a huge roar.

Snug.

Something warm and wet ran across my face.

My whole body felt languid and stiff at the same time.

“Mmm.”

As I was tossing and turning, someone tapped my shoulder lightly.

“… .”

I opened my eyes.

I was blinded by the sudden light.

“young master.”

Then I saw Elise’s face after taking off the bast mask.

Her face was very emaciated.

“Are you okay?”

“… .”

I opened my mouth to her question.

No voice came out.

Am embarrassed. My mouth was dry, and my throat was very sore.

As if she had understood my condition, she handed me lukewarm water.

Carefully cupping my chin, she sent water down my mouth.

“You have to eat slowly, slowly.”

I wanted to swallow a sip of water right away.

But she couldn’t do that because of her anxious gaze.

As I drank water following her guidance, I felt that my blurry vision became clearer.

The voice seems to come out now.

“I… How down were you?”

“One week, one week.”

Her eyes twinkled as she spoke.

Her voice trembled as if I would never wake up.

rumble.

She smiled faintly at the beat of my stomach that broke the mood.

“I will make porridge.”

He nodded.

I still felt sick to my stomach.

Alice left the room and I looked around.

Shabby walls and wide open windows.

A thick white blanket.

When I was raising my upper body, the door burst open with a crackling sound, and several people entered.

“Gwa, are you okay?”

“Do you have any pain anywhere?”

Mahol and Raina ran to the front and clung to the bed I was lying on.

“Are you awake now?”

A middle-aged man in a robe he had never seen before stared at me with his arms crossed.

“Are you sick anywhere? Anything uncomfortable?”

Beatrice, who had taken off her disguise, came over and looked at me.

“Hoo. Your body is in great shape.”

Some strange man took my clothes and looked at it here and there and evaluated it.

‘Ah, it’s annoying.’

I was very annoyed by the attention of many people pouring in the midst of not being able to figure out what the situation was.

I don’t know if my body has recovered properly.

It’s something I don’t like to grab someone who just woke up and bother them.

“What are you all doing! patient. Everyone, get off!”

Alice, who had just entered the room, hardened her face and pushed the crowd aside.

Then, as he put the tray he had brought on the bedside table, he picked up a bowl of porridge.

He picks up a spoon and gives it to me after a few minutes of porridge.

“Ah do it.”

no. Wait.

It’s too sudden.

“there. I can eat it on my own.”

“Ah, do it.”

“I can eat… Ugh!”

I took the spoon from her and raised my hand, then shrank from the pain that pulsated down my spine.

“Gwa, are you okay? Are you in a lot of pain? Should I call a therapist?”

“Oh, no. It’s fine.”

it’s muscle pain

I had done a lot of physical work, so I was well aware of the current pain.

I was just surprised at how strong the pain was.

“Whoa… .”

It’s hard to get one hand right.

But the stomach hurts.

I had no choice but to accept and eat the porridge she fed me like a baby bird.
