Episode 52
EPISODE.26
“I don’t think it will be possible to move by carriage anymore.”
One of the guards muttered as he looked at the carriage that was down on one side.
One wheel was shattered, so it was understandable.
“Then I guess we’ll have to walk from now on.”
There was at most half a day left until the Shudra, so it wasn’t a big problem.
“Are you okay?”
The guard asked as he examined his body, and Russell nodded.
“The wound has healed to the point where it is no longer difficult to walk or move around.”
“If you say so… … .”
Although he was skeptical, he seemed to nod when Russell said yes.
As I was preparing to abandon the broken carriage and move on, I glanced at it.
Russell’s eyes moved.
I looked again at the carriage with its wheels smashed and lying in ruins.
‘hmm.’
It would have been a little better if wagons and carts were used frequently and in large quantities – say, in a place like the top.
That’s because a place like that had a number of wheels ready for situations like this.
‘But we can’t start the wheel right now-.’
Due to the nature of the desert terrain, finding suitable trees may not be easy.
‘It’s another matter to trim it to the right size and turn it into wheels.’
Round, trimmed to the same size, etc.
After all, a wheel made of wood is an object that requires a lot of work in one way or another – at that moment.
A thought passed through my head like lightning.
‘Wait, wooden wheels?’
One of the things necessary to revive a family is financial power.
Maybe you can make quite a lot of money.
Russell’s eyes twinkled at that thought for a moment, but then he sighed.
‘What should I do if I find a way, but I don’t have the capital to invest right now.’
The only thing worth looking forward to was the bonus received after completing this mission.
‘War Mages’ performance bonuses have long been rumored to be enormous, right?’
After all, it wasn’t just an ordinary local magic tower, it was spying.
You will find out if it is as great as it sounds when you receive it for yourself.
Thinking like that, Russell quietly curled the corners of his mouth.
Russell’s steps, with a line drawn around his mouth, were overflowing with energy.
.
.
The messenger who came to deliver the news of my disciple’s death gulped and swallowed without realizing it.
That’s because the man in front of him was a Master-level Auror trainee and one of the superhumans representing the empire.
The closer I got to the man, the stronger my sharp anticipation became.
The only thing in the man’s hand was a knife.
The knife, which was dripping with blood as if it had just been cutting meat, felt no different from a famous sword.
Something that was born as a human but grew into the shape of a sword.
That was the man the messenger knew.
However, if there is a difference from the time we met a few years ago, I would say that the man’s appearance now feels like a sword, but not a sword.
‘A broken and dismembered sword… … .’
Even a dull energy seemed to be flowing out of the body, which was hidden in the dark and not clearly visible.
In addition, about half of the face that appears frozen, the left side is covered by a mask.
The rumor that he had suffered a serious injury in the previous battle with Endymion seemed to be correct, as there was a tearing mark on the joint between his face and his mask.
“… … “Is that all you have to say?”
It was then.
McRae Hughes, a superman who had been quietly receiving reports, opened his mouth.
I wonder if the wounds suffered during the war even extended to the vocal cords.
There is a heavy sound of metal scraping on an iron plate with a piece of glass.
The messenger, who was startled by that voice, barely opened his mouth.
“Bo, this is the end of what I have to report.”
He was the one who saw only talent and accepted that crazy Spandom as his student.
It is a story about a person who gave a sharp sword to a murderer so that he could kill better.
The mental state of such a person would not be very sound either.
The fear of him was evident in his voice.
“Right.”
But fortunately, McRae seemed to have no intention of harming the messenger.
He waved his hand as he buried himself deeper into the darkness again.
“Then let’s go out now.”
An order to congratulate guests was issued.
After sending out the messenger like that.
“flaw-.”
An unknown sound, whether laughter or crying, escapes his lips.

About half of the sound that came out was blocked by the mask and was scattered.
“Hehehe-.”
Regardless, the sound coming out gradually grew in size.
The moment when the bizarre sound finally reached its peak.
Woe!
A thick, lifelike smell covered the hall.
Clink, clink, clink!
Chandeliers, glasses, windows, etc., unable to withstand the deadly force, exploded and shattered at random!
Yep-!
Finally, after the last remaining glass window was shattered, the man stopped laughing.
Still without giving up on killing himself, he moved his hand and took off his mask.
Click-.
I traced the exposed bare skin with my fingertips.
It is distorted, and you can feel the tactile feel of burn marks that have become soggy and discolored.
The memory of the moment I received these burn marks came back vividly to me once again.
Paddeuk-.
I ground my teeth so hard that I was worried they might break.
Soaring magma and hell where the whole world is engulfed in flames.
Even the silhouette of a man running away from there, holding one side of his face.
Because none of it was a memory that was not humiliating.
But what?
This time, the youngest person I accepted as a disciple lost his life to the enemy’s youngest disciple?
In my heart, I wanted to run out right away and cut to pieces that damn bitch’s disciple.
However, it was already too late to get the job done.
Instead of running away, McRae grabbed the armrest until it was crushed.
Quad deuk.
Open your mouth and never forget.
“Daria-.”
He spit out the name of the priest who brought shame and humiliation to him.
“-s.now.white.”
and.
“Russell Raymond.”
The sound of metal flowing out mixes with anger and creates a sound similar to that of an animal.
The blood that flowed out with the burning naturalization spread throughout his castle.
Wow.

Another few days after arriving in Shudra, a lawless city in the desert.
Russell arrived at the nearest magic tower nearby and was finally able to return to the flame tower using the warp gate.
Ugh-.
I can feel the floating mana slowly sinking.
“Wow.”
What followed immediately was a feeling of extreme dizziness, as if I was on a ship sailing in a storm.
‘I can’t get used to this damn motion sickness at all.’
I used it when I left, too.
Russell, tongue-tied by the unpleasant sensation, hurriedly used Mana.
As the magic power drawn from the circle spreads out along my entire body, I feel the dizziness that had taken over my entire body quickly receding.
“after.”
Only then did Russell heave a sigh of relief and open the door.
It was to get out of the room where the warp gate was installed.
When you go outside, what you see is a waiting room to greet those coming through the gate.
There was one familiar face inside.
“Priests!”
It was Hubert.
When he found Russell, he shouted, unable to hide his concern.
“You’re back. Priests.”
He looked at Russell’s whole body with nervous eyes, and then felt relieved, sighing his heart.
“I guess I was worried. execution.”
“You mean this? “Spandom, how surprised I was when I heard that you were with that crazy guy.”
Russell responded briefly to Hubert’s words. Well, I guess I couldn’t help but worry.
Although he gritted his teeth and decided to win, it was not a fight he fought with the confidence that he would win.
Hubert, perhaps aware of Russell’s thoughts, pulled Russell towards him.
“For now, let’s go up and talk about the details. “There are people waiting for a priest.”
“For those who are waiting… … .”
The answer to that question was simple.
No, there was no need to worry. Isn’t it obvious that he is the person who will be waiting for him inside the Flame Tower anyway?
‘Master.’
Daria Snowwhite.
When we went up to the top floor of the tower with Hubert, she stood up as if she had been waiting.
I grabbed Russell’s shoulders tightly with both hands.
He examined his entire body carefully and muttered briefly.
“Thank goodness. “There is no reason for me to go and turn the outskirts of the empire into an inferno.”
It was something I said while giggling as if it were a joke, but why did it give me goosebumps like this?
‘If you’re a teacher, it might be possible.’
They attack without thinking about political issues. Assuming.
‘The time it takes for a few imperial cities bordering the desert to turn into fiery hell-.’
It’ll only be a few days at most.
“I’m glad you came back safely. “You’re the youngest.”
As Daria and Russell retreated with those words, a huge hand like a bear suddenly came in between them.
“Hmm. I’m glad to see you’re okay. Priests.”
He was so large and muscular that it was hard to believe he was a wizard.
It was Vermilion, Daria’s first disciple.
I heard there was someone waiting, so I expected it to be Daria, but I never expected Vermilion to come too.
In fact, not only the three executioners, but also the teacher.
It is as if all priests and acquaintances have gathered together.
Vermilion, who was examining Russell’s whole body, twisted his head crookedly.
“It looks like most of the wounds on my body have healed, but… … .”
He said while massaging Russell’s shoulders and pectoralis major muscles.
“For some reason, you seem smaller than when I saw you before. “Is it my imagination?”
When I saw it before, it was at the academy.
Since then, he has not neglected training, so he may have become stronger, but his physique has not become smaller.
So – yes, it is an illusion.
Faster than he could say, he grabbed Russell’s hand.
“I guess priests need special training. “Whenever you have time, you should go forge iron with me.”
First of all, why is it that every time I see a person called death, he is so impatient that he can’t sharpen the iron?
Russell’s eyes trembled.
In the end, it was Daria who stepped forward.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Are you going to make your youngest priest as big as a bear like you?”
She slapped Vermilion’s back with her palm.
‘Oh my. Master. “Seeing as your strength has weakened a lot, you need to supplement some protein,” Vermillion joked.
“Cluck. “You definitely earn one more slap.”
In the end, Daria once again hit Vermilion’s back with her palm.
Following.
“Okay, then Saddam ends here… … .”
Slurp.
He returned to his place and buried his body.
He said, offering each of Russell, Hubert, and Vermillion a seat.
“Then, from now on, let’s listen to our youngest’s story.”
Window tower owner, how should I brag to that old man so that word gets out that I boasted well?
It was a face that clearly showed his thoughts.
