“This is all I can give you right now.”
Hawkin took out his purse and handed it to the man.
And then he lay flat on his stomach again and shouted.
“Wizard! Please help me!”
Hawkin threw away his pride and fell to the ground.
Is that pride a big deal?
Even if the teacher had seen it, he would have forgiven me.
Because what he has to protect is much more important than his pride.
The black-haired young man snickered as if he found it amusing.
“A wizard? Me?”
“Yes!”
Hawkin answered confidently.
The carriage that appeared in the sky just now was a teleportation magic.
At first glance, the steel carriage looked unusual, but it was clearly a magical object.
Above all, that giant iron horse with glowing red eyes was clearly a creature created by magic.
‘This person must be a great wizard. And on a level I can’t even imagine!’
While Hawkin was misunderstanding, the man opened the bag of money he had handed him.
The pocket was full of gold coins.
Shh. A smile appeared on the man’s lips.
‘A month’s travel expenses should be enough.’
I had brought some magic stones to the city to exchange for money, but I didn’t think it was necessary to do that with this much money.
Hawkin cried out, finding hope in that sight.
“Wizard! If you take care of those thieves, I’ll give you ten times that amount!”
“10 times?”
When the man showed a cheerful reaction, the thieves approaching the carriage flinched.
Even to the thieves, the carriage that suddenly fell from the sky and the person walking out of it were extraordinary.
“If you are a real wizard···.”
“Aren’t you touching the wrong place for no reason?”
As his men hesitated and refused to approach, the bandit leader who was watching from behind shouted.
“You f*cking idiots! You’re only one person!”
The bandit leader called all his men who had scattered throughout the village and surrounded the wagon.
Because the person I was searching for in the village was right there.
The bandit leader took out the wanted poster from his bosom and compared it with Hawkin’s face.
Although he was crudely disguised with a beard, the face they were chasing was clear.
The bandit leader laughed, licking his lips with his tongue.
“You came out on your own two feet.”
The others were nowhere to be seen, but once you catch one and cut off a few fingers, you’ll know right away.
“Hey, wizard.”
The bandit leader raised his right hand slightly, calling out to the man. Then, some of the bandits raised their crossbows and aimed them at the man.
At that moment, the bandit leader laughed viciously and said.
“Let’s not do anything that would harm each other. Okay?”
Even the bandit leader was reluctant to mess with a wizard whose identity he did not know.
So he proposed a compromise.
“Just take the bag you just received and get out of here quietly. I’ll turn a blind eye to that much. But if you try to talk nonsense… Hey!”
Instead of looking at him, the man was busy counting the gold coins in the pocket that Hawkin had handed him.
“Twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight···.”
When his opponent didn’t even look at him, the bandit leader got angry and shouted.
“Can’t you hear me? I told you to get out of here right now with that bag!”
“···Thirty-two, thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five.”
The man who counted all the gold coins tied the pouch again and put it in his bosom.
And he said to Hawkin, who was looking at him with an anxious face.
“10 times is 350 gold coins. Right?”
At that moment, Hawkin’s face brightened.
“Yes! That’s right!”
The innocent young man gave off too much good vibes.
On the other hand, the worn-out, outwardly young man knew how to negotiate.
“Then let’s multiply it by 20. It’ll cost 700 gold to save you and kill all those bastards.”
“Yes, yes? Suddenly···.”
To the bewildered Hawkin, the man shrugged and said.
“If you don’t like it, then don’t say anything.”
Even at this moment, thieves were approaching.
Hawkin, who had been hesitating, shut his eyes tightly and shouted.
“I’ll do it! Kill them all! When I think about what they’ve done….”
The man nodded, putting the money bag into his bosom.
“Accepted.”
The man turned his head and looked at the thieves.

Dozens of bandits surrounded the carriage with their weapons aimed, while behind them the bandit leader was seen shouting at the top of his lungs while maintaining a safe distance.
“Damn it! Bring me the battle ogres!”
And then, the outline of the entire village was visible, with the villagers being held hostage and flames rising from all over.
The townspeople were covered in blood, tied to stakes or lying on the ground, tied with ropes.
“Ugh···.”
“Please save me···.”
The thieves seemed to have no distinction between men, women, or children. An old man stabbed with a sword, a woman trampled by a horse’s hooves, children crying in their arms.
Among the townspeople who fell to the ground, there were quite a few who were no longer breathing.
The man frowned deeply and looked at the bandits closing in on him.
“You piece of trash. Do you know what kind of town this is···.”
For Daein, it was a town where he had to stay overnight and find out various information.
It was also a place I had to return to a month later.
A year later, it was also the place where Seoul and the gate would be connected.
That means,
“This town needs to develop so that people can come and go to Earth more often, and then the value of my land will rise quickly.”
Even without Hawkin’s request, the Great Man had no intention of leaving these thieves alone.
I can earn some pocket money here and there, so it’s killing two birds with one stone.
The bandit leader, judging that negotiations had gone wrong, was the first to give the order to attack.
“Shoot! Before he uses his magic!”
Quarrels were fired simultaneously from a dozen or so crossbows. The man waved his right hand lightly.
Ting ting ting ting-!
The translucent shield deflected all the quarrels. The man smiled at the thieves and opened the carriage door.
“Little kids. Come out and see.”
Lily and Jang Yeong-shin opened the carriage door and peeked their heads out.
The thieves, who had been tense when someone else came out of the carriage, laughed when they realized that their opponents were children.
“what?”
“What are you going to do with the kids?”
After a while, the kids drove the bandits into a panic.
The man assigned each of the two children a task.
“Let’s put out the fire first.”
“yes!”
At the man’s words, Lily raised her hands to the sky.
Then, all the flames that were burning the village began to be sucked into the girl’s hand.
Whoosh whoosh!
The flame that was sucked into Lily’s hand soon shrank to the size of a candy.
Quick.
Lily swallowed the firework candy in one bite and puffed out her cheeks and grumbled.
“This doesn’t taste good.”
It seemed that there were levels to the taste of fire.
Of course, regardless of the taste, the thieves who saw the sight could not help but be astonished.
“crazy···.”
“Is that kid a wizard too?”
The thieves were finally beginning to feel that something was wrong.
But it’s already too late to back out.
The bandit leader shouted.
“Send out the battle ogres! A wizard is nothing without someone to protect him!”
A battle ogre who was enjoying a feast in the middle of the square rushed to the carriage at the command of his trainer.
Wow! Wow!
Battle Ogres, tamed by humans, were practically weapons of war, armed with thick plate armor and large battle axes.
In fact, it was the power of a single battle ogre that broke down the village fence and single-handedly wiped out the vigilantes.
“Destroy it!”
The Battle Ogre was also the confidence of the bandit leader.
Since he emptied his entire fortune to buy a battle ogre, he has become the leader of the biggest bandit gang in the area.
Wow! Wow!
The man looked at the battle ogre running towards him with a roar, then turned his head and called out to Jang Yeong-sin.
“Youngshin. You clean that up.”
“···yes.”
Jang Young-shin nodded and climbed onto the back of the iron golem that had turned into an iron horse.
When Jang Yeong-shin lightly patted its back, the iron horse raised its front paw.
“···let’s go.”
As the iron horse charged towards the battle ogre, it simultaneously wrapped itself around Jang Yeong-shin and transformed into an iron golem.
Clink clink clink!
Drrrrrrrr!
The person who was most surprised by the transformation was not the thieves, but Hawkin, who was standing next to the great man.
“Go, go, gogogo Golem? What the…!”
A magical weapon that exudes incredible magical power and unimaginable technological prowess at first glance.
I have never seen a golem like that even in the capital of the empire.
Wow! Wow!
The battle ogre roared and swung his axe at the iron golem.
Phew!
The axe that flew through the wind struck the iron golem’s chest.
Kyaaaaang!
The axe blade broke, but not a single scratch was left on the iron golem’s chest.
Wow!!
Instead, the battle ogre stepped back, clutching his arm in pain.
The iron golem caught up with the guy and grabbed both of his arms.
The golem’s gaze turned towards the square for a moment, then back to the ogre.
[···You should experience the same thing.]
An arm as big as an ogre’s log was ripped from his shoulder, blood gushing out like a fountain.
“Ku …
The golem’s heavy foot landed on the face of the battle ogre, who lay on the ground in agony.
-Crackle!
That was the end of it.
The monster that single-handedly broke down the village fence and annihilated the vigilantes was trampled to death like an ant by a more overwhelming monster.
Hawkin now looked between the iron golem, Lily, and the man with a bewildered expression.
“Everyone, what on earth are you···.”
It was then that the man who had been watching with his arms crossed stepped forward.
He said to the thieves.
“Do you have anything else to show me?”
“······.”
A fire-devouring little kid, a golem that can easily tear apart trained battle ogres.
The person in question had not even lifted a finger yet.
It was perhaps a natural reaction for the bandits to lose their will to fight and run away.
“Eww!”
“Run away-!”
The bandits tried to escape from the village, but they had to stop halfway.
Because a huge wall of flames rose up in front of them.
Whoosh whoosh!
“Well done.”
The man patted Lily’s head once and walked towards the confused thieves with light steps as if he was taking a stroll.
Then he took out his sword from his waist and started swinging it lightly.
Chook, chook, choaaaak-!
With each swipe of the sword, the bandits fell to the ground one by one.
By having the throat cut, the heart punctured, or being split lengthwise or crosswise.
There was no mercy. The great man increased the number of his enemies’ corpses one by one with each strike.
But not a single drop of blood splattered on his clothes.
Hawkin and the surviving villagers who were watching the scene had blank expressions on their faces.
Someone muttered this to himself at the graceful sword dance that was so indifferent.
“God sent us a savior···.”
Other people nodded blankly.
Once I thought about it that way, the huge chariot seemed like the chariot of God, and the boy and girl seemed like messengers of God.
That was when.
“Stop!”
The bandit leader held a knife to the village chief’s neck.
The man clicked his tongue and said, “Tsk tsk.”
“It’s all sorts of things. Is this a hostage situation now?”
As the man walked forward without hesitation, the bandit leader gritted his teeth and shouted.
“If you come any closer, I will kill this old man!”
Kuk…
Blood flowed from the village chief’s neck and soaked the blade. Hawkin screamed at the sight.
“Please save the village chief! He is my benefactor!”
The man stopped in his tracks for a moment.
But it wasn’t because of Hawkin’s request. Rather, it was because the hostage was the village chief.
The man scratched his chin as if he was embarrassed.
“Is that old man the village chief? I have something to ask him…”
The bandit leader, smug at the reaction, shouted.
“Put down your sword! If you want to save the village chief!”
“This guy! I’d rather kill him!”
The village chief, who had great skill, struggled and resisted roughly.
The bandit leader took the blade away from his neck and shouted at the man again.
“Put that knife down now!”
The man thought for a moment and then put the sword back into its scabbard.
That alone brought great relief to the bandit leader’s face.
He said, slowly backing away.
“Get that wall of flames out of here! And get me a horse! If you want to rescue the hostage, don’t move until I leave…”
Then the man cut him off.
“You know you’re honored.”
“what?”
At that moment, the figure of the great man slowly dispersed like a mirage.
“What, what?!”
As the bandit leader opened his eyes wide in confusion, the voice of the great man came to his ear.
“This is my first time using it in real combat.”
A technique that would have made the martial arts people shout, “This is a miracle!” if they had seen it.
To be exact, it was a new technique that mixed [Stealth] with Pacheon Shinbo.
“Whatever it is, as long as it’s effective, that’s fine. Right?”
That whisper was the last thing the bandit leader heard alive.
“Hey, wait a minute! You come with me···”
Phew!
And then quietly, the man put the wanted poster sticking out of the corpse’s pocket into his bosom.
