A Reincarnated Person With a Sub-Dimension - Chapter 43



Episode 43

The punitive force disbanded as soon as it entered Erita.

Members of the military immediately left, and the mercenaries stayed behind to report their return.

Concerned about Talia’s group, I stabbed a mercenary agency employee with a silver coin to get information.

If it didn’t come back, I thought I’d search for it for a few days.

Fortunately, they had completed the return report.

With a relieved heart, I headed to the inn.

When I arrived at the inn, Thalia and the others welcomed me with great delight.

After lightly taking a bath, we gathered together and talked.

Talia explained the current situation of Erita in detail.

“…That’s why less than half of the people who returned alive from this operation are said to be.”

After our subjugation team departed, 11 follow-up units consisting of about 2,000 people went into operation.

The situation was serious, and the other punitive forces were also hit hard by the attack of monsters and monsters.

In particular, those who went to the goblin habitat encountered tens of thousands of ant demons and suffered devastating damage.

“We also witnessed ant monsters in the ogre habitat. And griffon too.”

“A griffon?”

Thalia asked in surprise.

“Yes. Even though there was only one. Anyway, Erita is completely sealed right now, right?”

“That’s right. Soldiers and mercenaries need permission from the military to go out through the South Gate. The mercenaries who entered Erita without knowing anything at first are now regretting it now. Fortunately for us, we won’t be forced to go on missions in the future.”

A situation where you don’t know when a war will break out when monsters and demon beasts flock together.

It was a natural procedure to prevent the departure of power.

After talking for a while, we left our heavy hearts behind and had dinner together.

While eating, Alana spoke cautiously.

“Mr. Ian. You saved my life, but I feel like I didn’t even greet you properly. Thank you so much. I can’t be of much help to Mr. Ian on my subject, but if you need anything, just tell me.”

Alana thanked her while fiddling with her immaculate hands.

As if the treatment was completed successfully, her arm was fully recovered.

There was not a single blemish visible on the newly grown arm.

‘I’m going to have a hard time.’

For a warrior, good hands are not an advantage.

Since the calluses formed from handling weapons were gone, it would literally require bloody training to train like before.

I don’t have to worry if there’s a problem because I have skin that’s no different from an iron plate.

“I helped because I deserved to help, so don’t be too pressured. Let’s stop talking about this and have a light drink later.”

Nothing will change if you just worry without taking measures.

At times like this, it was necessary to keep an eye on the situation and deal with it resolutely rather than being nervous.

After the meal, we drank alcohol in moderation without harming our bodies.

Of course, the amount of alcohol I drank was several times more than what Thalia and the others drank.

the next morning.

Sister Eva sent a messenger.

It was an answer to a question about Talia’s treatment on the way back to Erita.

In conclusion, the military leadership decided to condone the sins of the mercenaries who deserted.

Most of the punitive forces that went out as an advance party suffered numerous casualties.

There were also many who escaped in the process.

Right now, Erita is in a state of complete war.

As it was a time when one combatant was regrettable, the loss was too great to punish all of the hundreds of mercenaries.

However, he said that if a battle breaks out in the future, if he violates the military law, he will be punished severely.

Upon hearing the news, Thalia and the others held hands and rejoiced.

A few days later.

Talia’s party joined the Bowen Sisters Mercenary Corps, which they wanted so much.

After joining the mercenary corps, he could no longer stay at the inn.

Leaving for the mercenary camp, they once again bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude.

Fortnight has passed.

Ever since Talia’s party left, she stayed in the inn room and devoted herself to mana practice.

In the meantime, the only outing was a trip to the Mercenary Agency to take the mercenary examination again.

Crossing the small boundary was progressing smoothly.

It looked like it would rise to the 5th place in about 3 months.

The problem is that the mana sensitivity doesn’t increase anymore.

Previously, every time he used mana simbeop, his mana sensitivity increased, albeit weakly, but now he couldn’t feel even the slightest change.

‘There’s no point in training in this state. I need to find a new mana simbeop as soon as possible.’

The more advanced mana simbeop, the more mana absorbed.

The higher the mana absorption rate, the clearer the contrast between mana and the easier it is to increase mana sensitivity.

Originally, I was thinking of seeking mana simbeop, but the need became more urgent than before.

I felt uncomfortable because I had not washed for over a week because I was concentrating on training.

Every time I go to the sub-dimension, my body becomes disconnected from reality.

In the process, dead skin cells are piled up on the body layer by layer.

When I got up from the sitting position, the dead skin cells on my body fell off.

At first glance, the shiny skin was reflected in the area where the dead skin cells had fallen off.

After taking a warm bath, I headed to the Mercenary Office.

Eva must be busy, so I plan to meet Serena to find out how the war is going.

Since the Mercenary Agency was an agency under the military, Serena would have known most of the information.

The Mercenary Agency was free.

Since there are no people who go far, there will be less work.

Serena greeted me with the most relaxed face I’ve ever seen at the Mercenary Agency.

We had a leisurely conversation starting with a light greeting.

After becoming a silver mercenary not too long ago, Serena’s eyes looking at me sparkled even more.

It was only after making an appointment for a meal on the weekend that I was able to hear about the war situation in earnest.

While I was concentrating on my training, many things happened.

A situation where monsters and ogres ran rampant and even griffons appeared.

The subjugation operation was temporarily suspended.

Instead, in order to grasp the dynamics of the North, masters and guards stood up with heavy buttocks and went on a direct reconnaissance.

At one time, demonic spirits moved south to the nearest distance of Erita, but as battles broke out between the demonic spirits, they gradually disappeared, and now it is almost impossible to find them.

However, due to the large-scale outbreak of monsters, the monster species that were pushed out of the territorial fight moved their habitat to the south.

As a result, not only goblins and orcs lived near Erita, but also trolls were often sighted.

This was bad news for most of the mercenaries, as it meant that they might encounter unexpected enemies along the way.

However, as long as I had the skills, the outbound schedule would be reduced, so it was something I welcomed.

Another fortnight has passed.

By the time the monsters disappeared and the migration of the monsters ended to some extent.

Led by the mercenary corps, the mercenaries started going out one by one.

The cost of living is almost falling because of buying a new shield.

I set off alone at the right time.

Three days after leaving the original trip.

After hunting, I returned to Erita.

I headed to Uncle Kit’s store to settle the by-products.

Uncle Kit jumped to his feet in amazement as soon as he saw me, probably because I hadn’t visited in months.

“No, hey! It’s been a while. I didn’t see it so I thought something might have happened and I was worried.”

“I had to go back to my hometown for a bit. After I came back, I joined the punitive force. Since I don’t have to go hunting, I haven’t had a chance to stop by.”

“Yes. It’s fortunate that he’s safe. Judging by his appearance, he must have been back.”

“Yes. But after the settlement of the by-products, I have something to ask of you.”

“You mean please? Just say it. I’ll help as much as I can afford.”

“Thank you. Then.”

I opened my backpack and took out the 2 vertebrae of the trolls I hunted this time around and the intermediate magic stone I got from the subjugation operation.

“hmm…”

Then Mr. Kit, who saw the by-products, spit out with a troubled expression.

From noble mtl dot com

“Did you know that trading by-products in someone else’s name is going to be a big deal? It looks like you’re trying to get your co-workers’ share of the settlement instead.

It seems that there was a misunderstanding because the value of the by-products was high for Dongpae mercenaries to hunt alone.

I said with a small smile.

“You don’t have to worry because I hunted them all.”

When he took out the newly issued mercenary plaque and showed it, Mr. Kit finally covered his face and burst into laughter.

“Heh heh. Have you reached the proficiency level already? I guessed your skills, but you’re amazing as expected. Congratulations. I’ll settle the bill quickly.”

The tax rate for the lower ranks was 30%.

The purchase price was about 22 gold coins, but Mr. Kit gave 23 gold coins without saying anything.

“By the way, what is a request?”

The by-product trader helped the mercenaries with their errands to manage customers.

Merchants had a wide network of people, so mercenaries were able to receive a lot of help.

“I want to ask for advanced mana simbeop, nothing else. Is that possible?”

“It’s not difficult to get an intermediate level if you have money. But from the upper level, things are passed down as secrets, so it’s not a problem that can be solved with money. Well, you can buy a title with just tens of thousands of gold coins. It is possible to learn mana simbeop. But it won’t be easy unless that’s the case.”

I don’t know if I have people with me, but I have no intention of going under anyone.

As long as he pursued a life of freedom, becoming a nobleman was not even a consideration in the first place.

“Apart from becoming a nobleman, please find out if you can get it with money.”

“Okay. I’ll put in a request to the information merchant within today. The down payment is one gold coin. The rest can be paid according to the progress of the work. And…”

Uncle Kit paused for a moment before asking cautiously.

“I’m not ignoring you. Even for intermediate mana sims, the market price is formed at least 1,000 gold coins. For advanced sims, as I said, you need an outrageous amount of money. To earn enough gold coins to seek advanced sims, you must be a master. It won’t be easy even if you’re a gentleman. Are you really planning on entrusting the request? I’m afraid I’m just wasting money.”

I fully understand Uncle Kit’s feelings.

However, if everything went according to plan, he was confident that he could collect about 10,000 gold coins within a year.

“Don’t worry about that. If you need extra money later, let me know right away. Then I’ll be on my way. I’ll be stopping by often, so see you again.”

“Heh heh. Okay. Then go carefully. And it’s noisy outside these days. Money is good, but I hope you don’t overdo it. I’ll pray that Deres-sama’s grace will be with you.”

“Yes, thank you. Then.”

I grabbed 22 of the gold coins on the table and stood up.

After parting with Uncle Kit, I sailed down a street lined with shops.

There were a few things I needed to travel alone in the future.

First, I went to the largest equipment store in Erita and purchased a mass-produced full-body plate armor.

Next, I bought a scabbard for my silver sword at the blacksmith’s shop.

After that, I stopped at a store that sells magic items and bought 3 low-class talismans engraved with vigilance magic.

Finally, I bought a backpack the size of an adult torso at a general store.

In a matter of hours, more than half of his entire fortune was gone.

After all, making money is difficult, but spending it is an instant.

next day.

I got out of the north gate at dawn and went under a tree out of sight of people.

After putting all the equipment I was wearing into the subspace pocket, I put on the armor I bought yesterday and changed the sheath of the silver sword.

You need gold coins to be strong.

Hunting preparations are fully completed.

Now all that’s left is to earn money in earnest.

‘Shall we start?’

After lowering the blindfold of the helmet, I ran towards the north with all my might.
