# 3Historical and Present2
After completing his training, Luther immediately checked his horsepower.
The second-rate horsepower has increased marginally.
Not as much as I expected, but it wasn’t too bad.
‘Enough is enough. ’
I cannot dispense my first drink.
I see the effect that physical and mental training must be consistently practiced anyway.
Moreover, in the first place, the purpose is not manna breathing.
‘Manna breathing goes my way, not Vergne’s. ’
Vergne Tower is specialized in earth magic, among other elemental magic.
In other areas, however, it is a gem disease.
Luther decided to create her own original Mana breathing technique, a breathing technique specialized in all fields.
Problem is, we have to start after the body reconstruction. ’
Magic Stone is required to reconstruct the body.
Luther now thinks of an easy way to get the Magic Stone.
All sorts of methods messed up my head, but Luther picked one of them.
‘Let’s go north. ’
We must go to the border between the Olson Kingdom in the north and the Vasco Empire.
There are monsters there.
And the monster has a Contaminated Magic Stone.
Luther decided to make a new start in Monster Realm.
A wagon procession is passing along the slopes.
Next to the wagon, mercenaries on foot or on horseback were watching everywhere with fierce eyes.
Duke, the commander of the mercenaries escorting the Merchant Corps, sets up the wagon.
When the wagon stops, a representative of a wealthy merchant looks out.
“What’s going on? ”
“Narrow mountain path topography. From now on, we should send a scout to search the area and pass by. ”
“We’ll be in territory soon, but why should we do that? ”
“Duke Tefes is famished by drought and bandits and bandits are crossing the border, so be careful. ”
“Yup. Got it. ”
The wagon procession stops and the scouts move forward.
After a long search, the wagon departs after receiving a signal that there is no more.
However, the mountain path was long and the wagon stopped from time to time.
An impatient merchant representative raised his voice.
“I’ll be there in a few days. ”
“Safety comes first. ”
“If we don’t meet the delivery deadline, we’ll have all sorts of tweets and deductions. If that’s the case, we won’t be able to match the amount of the contract with you. So let’s hurry up a bit. ”
Duke frowned.
“Then I’ll hurry. ”
Duke sends an incoming call to the scouts in a hurry.
Scout’s search radius narrowed and the wagon sped up.
Soon the end of the hill road was seen.
There was nothing to be too cautious about here as it was an open plain.
However, the last one was not so favourable.
Pa!
“Ugh!”
Somewhere, an arrow flew through the scout’s neck.
Duke raised his voice when he saw it.
“Enemy! Prepare for battle! ”
Currrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Several bandits begin to push the rocks down at the end of the hill, fearing his cry to fall.
It was not large, but it was enough to interfere with the movement of the wagon moving top procession.
“Shoot the arrow! Move the wagon!”
Duke gives clumsy instructions.
But the threat was not the only one.
Shuwoowoowook!
A threatening siege was heard in the covered bushes of the left and right.
Duke’s long experience has made him know exactly what that means.
“Everybody down! ”
He lowers his body as he shouts.
Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A huge wooden column protrudes from left to right and overlies the top matrix.
I smashed the horse’s head and smashed the wagon.
The shrapnel of the shattered wagon pierced the merchants’ bodies.
“Argh!”
“Save me!”
Screams burst all over the place and at the same time rocks descended along the slopes.
The fast rocks swallow mercenaries as they roll.
Pueblo!
The mercenary’s head fell down while avoiding the wooden pillar.
The rocks send the two mercenaries behind them to the next death, and they go down as they are.
Waaaah!
A bandit who was hiding ran with a knife.
“Kill them all! ”
“Stop it!”
Cha-chang!
The battle of bandits and mercenaries has begun.
Mercenaries were skilled prosecutors, but bandits were impatient.
However, the difference in numbers has almost tripled.
Twenty mercenaries and more than fifty bandits have become violent.
At that time, a young man came running behind the carriage.
He pulls the beheaded mercenary back and saves it, then stabs the bandit’s throat with a swinging sword.
The bandits rush to the newly emerged enemy.
But the rope fell to see if the floor was slippery.
Nothing is as easy as killing a fallen enemy.
The young man pierces the bandit’s body without hesitation.
The mercenaries also began to struggle as the rear grew stronger.
“Run!”
Lesser bandits have issued retreat orders.
The mercenaries did not pursue the bandits.
Most of the client merchants are badly injured and need to take care of them.
“Heal the wounded! ”
Duke approaches the young man while taking care of the moaning wounded.
“Thank you for your help. ”
“The same mercenaries have to help each other. ”
Duke, who shook his hand.
“Duke of the Koelo Mercenaries. ”
The young man shook his hand.
“This is Class C mercenary Luther. ”
Luther was upset by the war.
To some extent, I thought I would deal with all the weapons that could be encountered in war.
The theory that wizards are vulnerable to melee is that seeds are not eaten by those skilled in combat, such as Luther.
Experienced weaponry is enough to play with.
Such a router could not walk the mountain path, nor could he walk alone in a territory where the security was so harsh by war.
There is no place as vulnerable to surprise as in the mountains.
Concealment, concealment is of course, so it was easy to make a trap.
So I waited for the time.
I hope someone passes by here.
The top procession appeared and Luther followed them.
The bandits also ambushed him, and he naturally supported the mercenaries.
Now that I owe you a debt, it won’t be a difficult request.
Upon Luther’s rescue, the march out of the crisis decided to defend the site.
Horses are dead, wagons are broken.
Now that we’ve got a wounded man, it’s hard to get out of the mountain with magnetism.
The scouts are heading to the territory, so the reinforcements will be here by tomorrow.
The atmosphere was devastating.
Mercenaries lost five colleagues and most merchants lost two to injuries.
Duke wanted to be a merchant representative.
Even if he did not urge us to hurry, this catastrophe did not happen.
However, I could not be angry with the merchant representative.
He was weeping with his dead son in his arms.
I lost my son in a hurry, so in a way it was self-sufficiency.
Duke, who separated the merchant, approached Luther.
Now that mercenaries have been reduced, Luther’s presence has been of the greatest concern.
“If you don’t have a mercenary, why don’t you come to us? Remuneration will not be paid. ”
Duke watches Luther’s sword handling skills during battle.
Monopoly but practical.
It was so-called real swordsmanship.
Especially, he was skilled at hitting the enemy’s retreat.
He appreciated Luther’s swordsmanship.
Luther completely rejected Duke’s proposal.
“I’m sorry, we have separate destinations. ”
“Where is it? ”
“I intend to go to the north of the Olson Kingdom. ”
Duke interrogated his purpose.
“You’re a monster, right? ”
“That’s right.”
“Monsters are the next best thing to do with money. I don’t know if you know, but there’s a war going on like a wildfire. The provincial lords are contracting with the mercenaries in front of the quarrel to gather troops and the merchants are not too busy moving supplies. All you have to do is escort the merchant to make more money through monsters. ”
Monster hunting was once widespread, but now it is a small area.
Goblins and Orcs don’t have money, but expensive monsters can’t be captured alone.
Most of them were involved in large-scale subversive operations, so they are less rewarding than Merchant Escorts.
Therefore, mercenaries were rarely interested in monsters.
Duke’s advice was realistic.
But he didn’t know where Luther was going.
Luther shook even when he heard the sound of war.
I was tired and never wanted to go through it again.
His goal was to keep quiet while catching monsters.
So Duke’s advice didn’t reach him.
“It’s okay. It’s a good experience. ”
Duke felt sorry for Luther, who couldn’t break his stubbornness.
“It’s a young friend, so you’d better go through something. Too bad. It’s hard to get a talent like you. ”
Duke continued to like the calm and calm Luther.
I’m in charge of a group of commanders, so I have eyes on people.
I felt reassured if Luther was a colleague, I could leave him behind.
Luther turns his back on the wind and pulls out the gun.
“Is there a Merchant Guild heading north of the Olson Kingdom in the Duke of Tefes? ”
“There’s no direct route, but there’s a place nearby. I’ll hook you up if you want. ”
“Thank you.”
Duke’s smile came to mind.
“We must help each other and live. ”
