“Is he that famous?”
“then. “There was no one I didn’t know in South Harbor!”
The messy-haired boy who lived his whole life in the boring country town of ‘Inbury’ longed for adventure and the city. South Harbor, the largest city in the South, was a very interesting story for the boy.
“Hey, lie. “How many people are there in South Harbor?”
“That’s how famous it was. But, this is a secret. “You must never tell anyone.”
“secret?”
“huh. That person is the bloody prosecutor. “It’s a secret.”
“why’?”
“Dad said it was a secret? “Maybe he’s on a secret mission.”
“Secret mission… …
As the messy-haired boy swallowed dryly and nodded, the chubby boy from South Harbor chattered excitedly.
“When angry, the sword emits flames. It is not just ordinary fire, but an extremely hot flame called from the salt world.”
“The flame of the salt world… …
“Every time you swing it, dozens of people fall, so not even the thieves can handle it. “You cut down the robber baron and the ‘creeping dragon’ with one blow?”
“A creeping dragon? “I heard from my uncle that the creeping dragon was killed by Prince Ulkar.”
“We joined forces to kill them. That’s why Prince Ulkar appointed the bloody swordsman as a knight.”
“Wow, knight.”
When the messy-haired boy made a dazed expression, the girl who was sitting still poked his side.
“Brother, let’s go quickly. “Her mother told me to have all the grass in her oat fields cut before lunch.”
“You go first. “I’ll follow you in a moment.”
The messy-haired boy stood up, shaking his butt, and grabbed the chubby boy’s hand.
“Rupert, we have a wooden sword at home. Do you want to go see it?”
“wooden sword?”
“huh. I made it myself, and it’s very sturdy. “You can kill something like a goblin in one go, right?”
The boy called Rupert hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
“no. “My dad said I shouldn’t go into the village.”
“Oh right. “Then, shall we pick up some twigs and make one?” The girl said in surprise at the messy-haired boy’s words.
“Oppa, have you forgotten that last week I was walking around making a bow and almost got bitten by a wild dog? “If I do that again this time, I’ll be kicked out of the house, right?”
“If you just stay quiet, you won’t get scolded. “You told your mom about that and got scolded!”
“Why are you angry at me!”
“It’s because you’re bothering me. “Hurry up and pull out the grass!”
“Leeing••••••
When the girl cried and turned away, the messy-haired boy sat back down, sighing as if he was in a bad mood.
“I’m sick of it all. “I also want to leave the village and explore the world.”
“Adventure is not that easy, Navari. Oh my gosh, there are thieves, infidels, and monsters. “There are so many dangerous things.”
Navari, the messy-haired boy, answered while lying down on the grass.
“It would be nice if I had an ability like blood magic. Then you will become very strong like this bloody swordsman you mentioned, right?”
“What a rare ability blood magic is. Besides, most of the blood magicians are just acting like boring doctors?”
The chubby boy, Rupert, also laid down.
“I wish there was something like divine power rather than blood magic.”
“Divine power? “If you become a priest, you can’t get married, right?”
“You can become a Holy Knight.”
“Paladin? “Not a cathedral knight?”
“huh. A paladin from the Calandari Church.
hey.” At the mention of the Calandari Church, Navari’s expression darkened a little.
“but… … “That’s a heresy, right?”
“What are you talking about? “So you’re saying that Princess Theodora is a heretic?”
“Princess Theodora is a woman, and she is no longer from our kingdom, so it doesn’t matter whether she is a heretic or not. “Her uncle said that.”
“As long as you have divine power, what country does it matter what country you are from? “Money and power will come in droves.”
Navari’s eyes wavered slightly at Rupert’s words.
‘Is this why my uncle told me not to hang out with people from the city?’
It was then.
Doo doo doo doo.
A group of men and horses ran along the open path between the wide fields.
There were a total of six men and horses, all wearing black cloaks and black chain armor.
Navari’s eyes widened when he discovered them.
“It’s ‘Black Wolves.’”
“Black wolves?”
“huh. “Bounty hunters.”
Curiosity filled the eyes of the two boys. The boys ran to the entrance of the village, following the black wolves as if they were possessed.
“But how do you know these people?”
“He came to our village. “A few weeks ago.”
Nabari recalled the bounty hunters he had seen at that time, especially the leader. He was a man as quiet as a rock, but with sharp eyes like a wolf.
The two boys ran to the village entrance and hid on the side of the road as if they were carrying out a secret operation.
Navari glanced at the black wolves and then looked disappointed. This is because the head man was nowhere to be found.
“What else is happening in our village?”
“I came to look for someone.”
“What person?”
“… … There’s no reason to tell you that. “I heard merchants came to the village a few days ago, right?”
The one-eyed man who was talking with the vigilante leader looked around the village. Then she noticed a group camping near a fence and she pointed towards it.
“Is it them?”
“exactly.”
“No one entered the village?”
The vigilante leader snorted at the one-eyed man’s question.
“There’s no reason to tell you that.”
” under.”
The one-eyed man sneered and rummaged through his arms. Then he took out her parchment and unfolded it.
“We are doing the work of the Marquis Alphard family. “You had better cooperate if you don’t want to fall under a terrible curse.”
The vigilante leader closed his mouth at the low threat. Then he sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
“There are three people in the village.”
“… … three? “Who is that?”
“I don’t know either. Well, other than knights, barbarians, and patients.”
“A knight, a barbarian, and a patient?”
The one-eyed man frowned and was lost in thought for a moment. Then she asked the vigilante leader.
“Where are they staying now?”
“… … “It’s a big old man’s house.”
The one-eyed man looked back and gave an order.
“Tobias, follow me. “Check over there for the rest.”
After saying that, he threw two silver coins at the vigilante leader and rode his horse into the village.
Rupert and Navari looked at each other.
“Where are we going?”
“I can’t go into the village anyway. “Let’s go towards the campsite.”
“but… …
Navari glanced toward the village. This was because he was more curious about fire-breathing knights than ordinary merchants or mercenaries.
Rupert noticed the sign and said.
“Okay then, let’s split up for a moment. “We’ll tell each other later what happened.”
“good!”
Nabari quickly ran to the village. Thanks to using a narrow shortcut, Nabari was able to arrive at the village chief’s house before the two bounty hunters. The boy quickly hid himself in the elm tree.
“Look! “Are you inside?”
The one-eyed man shouted, but there was no response from the village chief’s house.
“If you don’t come out, we’ll go in!”
After shouting like that a few times, the door finally opened with a squeak. Navari was slightly impressed.
“… … and.”
The boy had never seen such a large person in his life.
The knight wearing black plate armor was amazing, but the barbarian with his upper body fully exposed was so large that it was jaw-dropping.
“What about you?”
A low voice came from the knight. He was a handsome man not found in his hometown, but his cold and expressionless appearance made me feel uncomfortable.
The one-eyed man seemed to feel it too, swallowing dry saliva and saying.
“… … Nice to meet you. “We are employed by the Marquis Alphard family.”
“so.”
“Someone is looking for me”
“who?”
“I can’t tell you that.”
The knight stared at the one-eyed man.
Even though the other person was on a horse, the knight was so tall that he didn’t feel like he was looking up.
Nabari’s appearance reminded him of a snake he had once seen in a wheat field. A viper lowering his posture and flicking his tongue.
“… … whatever?”
“I heard there were three people in the group.”
“however.”
“Where is the other one?”
The knight placed his hand on the handle of his long sword.
“Why is that?”
“… … “I need to see your face.” “Your face?”
“exactly. “We need to check whether he is the person we are looking for or not.”
“Who are you looking for?”
“I can’t tell you.”
Nabari felt numb for some reason. This is because it seemed like the snake would jump out at any moment.
Hehehe.
As the horse began to stomp and back away, the two bounty hunters quickly pulled on the reins.
“Are you looking for a wizard?”
“… … “I can’t tell you.” The black gauntlets suddenly grabbed hold of the sword handle.
“……okay?”
The knight’s mouth twitched.
“Not here.”
“… … “What is that?”
“It means to turn off.”
“If you show me your face, I’ll be gone.”
A short silence.
“Ute kwai.”
ee bah n*
Just as the poisonous snake was about to jump out.
“trunnion?”
A small but sonorous voice.
The knight looked back with his eyes wide open.
“Ellen?”
Navari followed the knight’s gaze and found a woman who appeared to be in her mid to late teens.
‘… … ‘What is that?’
The woman was floating about two spans in the air, her golden hair slowly swaying as if she was wrapped in a light breeze.
Her skin was so white that her veins were visible, and her long eyelashes, pointed nose, and pink lips reminded her of a fairy from a legend.
Navari believed that the woman was something other than human. That’s because she had such a mysterious appearance.
“How and when did you wake up?”
The driver’s impression underwent a dramatic change. A brightened face. It looks really nice, Navari thought.
“•♦••••Phew.” The one-eyed man, who had his hand in his bosom, sighed at her. Then she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
The knight standing next to the woman looked back in surprise. Then, with her single eye, she looked at her man’s mood and made a puzzled expression for a moment.
“… … It wasn’t. “I’ll just go.”
“No?”
In response to the knight’s question, the one-eyed man shrugged his shoulders.
“exactly. Is there a problem?”
“What does that mean?”
“… … What do you mean? “It means that the person we are looking for is not the wizard there.”
The knight quietly narrowed his eyes and looked at the one-eyed man. Then he nodded as he sheathed his knife.
“… … “Good.”
“… … Good. then.”
The one-eyed man looked at the knight, the barbarian, and the woman for a moment, then turned his head.
As the two bounty hunters disappeared from sight, the woman suddenly opened her mouth.
“But Poi. “What is that inside?”
“huh? “That’s it?”
“There’s a bunch of smelly hair.”
“Oh, pig? I picked it up nearby. More than that, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I think I’m feeling better.”
“I’m glad. “I was so worried because my fever went down but I couldn’t wake up.”
“… … But why did you pick up the pig?”
“The child must have been sick and his body was hot. I brought you because I was thinking of you. Aren’t you hungry? Do you want to eat?”
“You thought of me when you saw the pig?”
“That’s not what you’re saying. Ah, the milk here is fresh and good. “Would you like me to make you some tarak porridge?”
“What is tarak porridge? Also, why do you keep talking about eating? “Do you think I’m a real pig?”
“No, you haven’t been able to eat properly for a few days because you’ve been sick.”
“I just want to eat some bread. And, throw that away quickly. “It stinks.”
“… … “Hey, why are you so cruel to me?”
Navari was a little disappointed as he sensed the conversation between the two. The man who was like a poisonous snake and the woman who was like a fairy are now ordinary people.
Because it looked like.
It was then that Navari made eye contact with the knight.
“omg,”
The startled boy sucked in a breath. Black eyes with a hint of red stared at the boy.
The boy, who was frozen like a frog encountering a snake, could not even move until the knight smiled and disappeared.
