EPISODE.102

.

.

A few days after Russell and Muyaho left the royal capital. By the time we were crossing the border of Endymion as well as the royal capital.

“Hmm. Hmm.”

Daria was humming and checking the correspondence in front of her.

From a small invitation to a banquet from a nearby great lord to forums held in various parts of the kingdom.

Sreuk, sreuk.

Daria’s humming, as she was checking the sending address of the letter in order, suddenly stopped.

The same goes for hand movements.

“Hoo. “The youngest guy sent a letter.”

This is because ‘Russell Raymond’ was on the list of senders. He was always the guy who never sent a letter no matter where he went.

I never thought you would send a letter so suddenly.

‘What exactly is written?’

For a moment, Daria tilted her head as she thought about something interesting.

For some reason, the date stamped on the envelope of the letter was strange.

‘Kingdom Calendar XXX… … , On this day—?’

Wasn’t it the day Russell and Muyaho left the royal capital?

If you had sent a letter, you would have sent it only after you left the royal capital and entered the Kingdom of Akhain, but you sent the letter on the same day you left.

Daria, feeling something strange, hastily opened the letter.

Tuk, puk-puk-.

Daria’s eyebrows fluttered as she read the contents inside, throwing the cruelly torn outer bag on the floor.

“this… … .”

Then, she turned pale instead of blushing, and spoke fiercely, clutching the letter in her hand tightly.

“You damned youngest!”

These are the first harsh words uttered after taking Russell in as a disciple. It has to be that way.

Because the content written in the letter was that shocking.

Blah, blah, blah, it’s a long story, but if you summarize it, it’s really simple.

‘I’m going to visit the empire.’

A roughly extended version of the content was written in the letter. It’s something that makes me want to run out right away, grab the back of my head, and bring him back.

But what can I do?

If this much time had passed, they would have definitely left Endymion’s territory and entered the Akhaine Kingdom by now.

That’s why she couldn’t cool down her anger and screamed in rage.

“When you come back, I’ll break your leg sticks so you can’t go out for a while!!”

Unlike his anger, his eyes were full of worry.

* * *

At that time, Russell lightly scratched the back of his ear as he waited for a ship bound for the Acain merchant nation near the border of Endymion.

“Why are you doing that?”

Muyaho, who was taking a sip of the blue drink in the glass, asked that question.

“no. “I feel like someone is criticizing me.”

“who? “You’re swearing at a male?”

“There are people who have a rough guess, but… … .”

Russell grinned at the guilt he had committed.

‘The letter I sent that day has probably reached Master by now.’

Wasn’t the letter intentionally sent at an additional cost with the option to specify an arrival date?

I could see him looking angry and worried, but I couldn’t help it.

‘If you had said from the beginning that you were heading to the empire, you wouldn’t have sent me.’

Still, I was concerned about not informing them, so I chose this method.

“hmm.”

Muyaho sighed as if he didn’t understand Russell’s words and took a quick sip on the drink in front of him.

The height of the blue drink, which resembles sea level, is rapidly decreasing. Muyaho let out an exclamation as he heard the sound of ice clattering.

“Kya! It’s a very delicious drink. c*ck. “It’s sweeter and more delicious than any palm tree I’ve ever eaten in my life.”

“It’s called blue soda.”

“Blue Sodara. “It is a drink with a particularly delicious taste that pops in your mouth.”

As if he was twitching his ears in joy, the bread hat he was wearing was shaking.

‘I’ll have to board the ship soon, so it might be better to hand it over in advance.’

Seeing that sight, Russell opened the subspace. She took out two rings made of silver and handed them to Mu Yaho.

“Muyaho. “Could you please put this on first before getting on the boat?”

“Bar, ring… … !”

“Yes, it is a ring with a camouflage spell that changes your appearance.”

As if to demonstrate, let’s wear the ring. Wow-.

A light wave of magical power rose from inside the robe that covered his head.

Sreuk-.

When the robe was removed, Russell clearly looked completely different from before.

Silver Blond.

Russell’s hair, which should have been black, had changed to a slightly dull platinum blonde.

Moreover, even his red eyes took on a sword-like shine, like obsidian.

“It is said that among the northerners in the frozen land above the desert, about a few have white-blonde hair and black eyes.”

If he disguised himself like this, he wouldn’t be able to think of Russell or Endymion.

“K-huh. “That’s how you do it.”

After feeling a little embarrassed for some reason, she giggled as if she was amused by Russell’s change and put the ring on her finger.

Hwaak-.

Likewise, a light flow of magic sweeps down from head to toe.

“What is this? c*ck.”

She looked at herself in the mirror hanging on the wall of the cafe and made a sullen expression.

“I’m the only one who hasn’t changed much.”

The only change is that the skin, which was reminiscent of chocolate mixed with milk, turned white and an invisibility spell was applied to the ears and tail.

“That much is enough for Muyaho.”

She already had gray, almost ash gray hair and black eyes, so she looked like a native of the North.

‘If we’re going to disguise ourselves anyway, it would be better for both of us to look like people from the same neighborhood.’

Muyaho chewed his appetite as if he was disappointed.

“I thought my hair color would change to something flashy, but I’m disappointed.”

He then said, sucking down the blue soda in front of him to the last drop.

“Well, it’s done. “I’ll be happy if you buy me another soda.”

Puh-u-.

At that time, the sound of a boat horn sounded from the port. Along with him, a ship came toward the port from the distant sea.

“It’s not a problem to buy it for me, but I guess I’ll have to do takeout.”

Puuuuu-.

A ship was coming in to take them to the Akhain merchant country.

Pooh-!

* * *

After several days of sailing, it was not difficult for Russell and Muya to get off the ship and enter the country of Shang.

Still, as it is a country, it was natural to have to prove your identity during the entry process… … .

‘easy.’

They let it pass very easily just by giving a moderate amount of money.

‘I guess this is what a country with deep roots behind the scenes looks like.’

It was a situation that could not even be dreamed of in Endymion.

Perhaps the route to the empire through Sangguk would be no different.

“I need to get a room first.”

After getting off the boat, Russell and Muya headed to a nearby lodging facility that looked quite nice.

“They look like a newlywed couple, so one room is enough?”

Muyaho’s lips trembled as he heard the owner’s words spoken in an unknown dialect.

“Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo…” … .”

Regardless, Russell answered straight away.

“I think I’ll need some personal time today, so please go to your own room.”

If we didn’t mind being mistaken for a married couple because it was an added bonus to our disguised identity, sharing a room was still a bit of a problem.

The innkeeper clicked his tongue at Russell’s reaction.

“her. I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel like I’m in good luck, and I hope they resolve the issue quickly. “My wife is also an amazing beauty, so it wouldn’t be a good thing if I leave behind many happy memories here.”

“Thank you for the advice.”

Just like that, the work on the first floor of the lodging facility was finished, and as they went up to the floor where their rooms were, Muyaho, who was following them, stuck out his mouth and grumbled.

“joy. “If you say you’re a married couple and share one room, it will be good for one reason or another, and you won’t deny it, then what’s the point of asking for separate rooms?”

Grumble, grumble, grumble.

At the sound that was clear to anyone to hear, he stopped walking up the stairs and recited the conditions Russell had made before leaving Endymion.

“In any situation, please prioritize my judgment and act according to my words.”

“… … joy.”

Since he had made a promise with his mouth, Muyaho also could not say anything and kept his mouth shut with the corners of his mouth drawn downward.

The silence continued like that for a while when Muyaho arrived in front of his room and stopped before entering the door.

I turned my head and looked at Russell and asked.

“So what are you going to do from now on? c*ck?”

Judging from Russell’s actions so far, there must be a clear reason why he stopped by a third country while saying he was going to the Empire.

Russell shrugged his shoulders and answered Muyaho’s question.

“For now, I’m going to rest in my room until the sun sets.”

“for now?”

That means there is work to be done after the sun sets.

[yes. And after that… … .]

Russell kissed his lips, and his voice flowed into Muyaho’s ears along with the message magic.

[I’m going to create a false identity.]

That was the reason why Russell visited the upper kingdom of Akkad, a city full of lawlessness on the other side of the country.

.

.

The sunset that turned the mountain ridge red is gradually fading, giving way to darkness.

It was around this time that a few impatient stars began to shine, brightening the sky that was not yet completely dark.

Muyaho, who left the inn after a brief meal, asked Russell.

[So, how do you create a false identity?]

It was a different technique from message magic, a method of transmitting voice using auric waves, also called telephonic sound in the East.

[for now… … We need to contact the guild in the shadows.]

[Guild in the shadows?]

[yes.]

These guilds were commonly represented by the thieves guild or the information guild.

The problem is that I don’t know how to contact the guild in the underworld of the Arcane merchant country.

‘If you don’t know, you have no choice but to make them come find it.’

Because there was a way to do it in my head.

The place Russell and Muyaho headed to was a street that seemed full of pleasure at first glance.

Even though the sun has not yet completely set, women are gesturing from all over, half-naked.

Moreover, the strong scent of various drugs, including opium, was wafting from the entrance of the alley.

“Sniff.”

Muyaho twitched the tip of his nose as if he didn’t like all of that.

They say it’s a country maintained through shade, right in the middle of the city. I never would have thought that such an entertainment district could exist not too far from the city.

“It’s an annoying place.”

Russell looked around, looking back at Muyaho’s grumbling.

After half a beat, I stopped looking and found the sign I wanted.

“Let’s go there first.”

Where Russell’s steps are heading.

What adorns the exterior of the building located at the end is a trump card that is larger than an average person.

Casino.

Russell’s steps were heading straight toward the so-called gambling house.

‘long time… … ‘I guess I’ll have to spend a lot of money.’

In the past, I lived a life of poverty, unable to properly spend money for various reasons, but now things are different.

Not only did he have the right to levy over hundreds of thousands of lakes, but he also had a huge duchy.

‘I didn’t really have anything to spend money on, so I saved up a lot.’

If you add the dividends from Marcheline, which is growing significantly every year, the amount of cash Russell has accumulated will be literally astronomical!

Russell made a small complaint while remembering the slip on the top of Marcherin that Subspace Duduk had brought with him.

‘I never expected that I would have to spend the money I had saved like this… … .’

I couldn’t help it.

Because now was the time to spend money.

“Now, let’s go in for some luxury.”

Russell shouted excitedly, somehow hiding his stomachache.

‘They say the fun of life lies in making fun of yourself?’

The sound of the new wizards who had just joined the Magic Tower shouting loudly every time payday came came to mind.

It was time for me to experience it myself.
