Chapter 044. starvation

late afternoon.

The escorts did not say anything until the carriage reached the outskirts of the Barony.

Even the driver, who would normally have to ask about any uncomfortable places, whether he was hungry, or if he needed a break, just kept talking in silence at the forefront.

“Is the count’s guard usually this blunt?”

Aaron asked, looking out the window.

Janice, who was quietly reading an educational book, narrowed her brows as if annoyed.

“Why don’t you ask me directly?”

“I asked earlier, but there was no answer.”

“Looks like you don’t want to answer.”

Janice closed the book and closed her eyes.

It was a promise not to talk about it any more.

“Originally, we talk in a friendly way, but today it is like this. Everyone must be tired.”

Zeke answered instead.

He also felt strange about the escort’s unusual attitude.

Originally, I wasn’t this blunt, but today, for some reason, I felt different.

“Today we will camp here. lady.”

after a while

As the sun began to set, the escort driver standing at the vanguard approached the side of the wagon.

Janice, who had been staring blankly out the window, nodded without thinking.

“Please.”

“Prepare for camp.”

“yes!”

As soon as the order was given, the soldiers began packing up the camp in perfect order.

The party waiting in the wagon came out when the campsite was almost complete.

The place where the camp was set up was the fallow field next to the road leading to the county.

It was easy to see who was coming because the area was open, and the sky was clear, so it was perfect for an overnight stay.

‘I didn’t have to camp.’

Aaron murmured as he looked at the tent the soldiers had pitched.

A little further from here comes the first village of the county.

If we had moved quickly, we would have been able to sleep in the village, but the escort driver went too slowly, so we had to pack up camp.

Aaron stepped out of the tent and began to look around.

“Do you have any problems, Bocchan?”

As he was strolling through the fallow field, a soldier approached and asked.

Aaron stroked his stomach with an embarrassed face.

“I have a little stomach ache.”

“ah! If it’s a bathroom, I made it over there. I will guide you.”

“Thank you.”

“you’re welcome.”

The soldier led the way with a friendly smile.

‘Look at these guys?’

Aaron looked at his back and furrowed his eyebrows.

[The magic hater detects traces of magic… … .]

The message that came to my mind a moment ago was scattered with a light gesture.

* * *

“lady. Your meal is ready.”

As we were organizing our seats in the tent, a soldier approached and said,

When I went outside, there was a meal for the party on a small wooden table.

growl-

Seeing the food, Zeke’s stomach rumbled loudly.

“hahahaha. sorry.”

He smiled shyly at Aaron and Janice and quickly sat down in the chair.

The dinner menu consisted of prepared turkey, corn soup, and rye bread.

In consideration for Zenith, who has a picky appetite, the ingredients were prepared in advance.

“I will eat well. Sir Roy.”

Janice bowed to the escort driver and sat down.

Roy grinned and pointed to the wizard sitting next to him.

“They are made by Lord Kanzel here.”

“hahahaha. It’s wizard’s food, but it will taste good.”

Kangel quickly stood up and said hello.

Janice was greeted with a glance and started eating.

“Wow, is this delicious? This would really make the trip taste better.”

Rhaast exclaimed as he chewed the turkey.

“I should cancel what I said was blunt. I guess it was just because I was tired.”

Zeke also helped out with a word.

‘hmm. It has real taste.’

Aaron gulped down his share and looked in Roy’s direction.

Except for the party, the escort troops were sitting around a bonfire next to a table eating military rations.

‘I wonder what they’re up to.’

The delicious smell was spreading everywhere, but the soldiers didn’t even look at it.

It was as if he had been trained not to look.

‘The Mystic Eye of Ceremony.’

[Spirit is reduced by 3%.]

Aaron cast a skill while looking around the soldiers.

A target detection ability obtained by subjugating Bronkel.

His blue eyes turned red and he looked at the faces of the soldiers.

[Name: O’Neill]

[Level: 14]

[Status: anxiety, nervousness]

[Name: Jade]

[Level: 13]

[Status: tension, fear]

[Name: Gail]

[Level: 15]

[Status: Nervous, Hungry]

Most of them were in poor condition.

On the outside, he was talking to the person next to him without hesitation, but on the inside, he was very nervous.

[The toxin of the sleeping plant eats away at the body. It will go to sleep after about 5 minutes.]

[Raguz rune has removed impurities from the body. Spirit is reduced by 2%.]

I was about to leave it alone and continue eating, but a warning message appeared in front of my eyes.

Sleeping herb is a powerful psychoactive plant used to calm insomniacs or captive animals.

Even if you use it, it won’t affect your life, but you could fall asleep forever, so it was better to use it as carefully as possible.

“Is it because I’m full after a while? Why are you so sleepy?”

“I’m feeling hungry too.”

Zeke and Raast yawned and rubbed their eyes.

Janice was dozing off with the tableware already set.

“Huh… … I must have been in the carriage too long.”

Aaron deliberately exaggeratedly yawned and blinked his eyes.

When all four of them fell silent, Kanzel pointed to the bottom of the table, barely visible.

Then, the magic circle hidden underneath flickered faintly.

[I resisted the slip cast by Kanzel (Lv. 26).]

Wow Jangchang!

Janice, Zeke, Aaron, and Raast fell one after another as if they had promised.

The table was shaken violently, and the leftovers were scattered in all directions.

“done.”

Kanzel, who had been watching with nervous eyes, smiled in repentance.

* * *

“Are you sure you’re asleep?”

Roy asked, looking at Aaron’s party lying on the floor.

Immediately after the sleep magic was cast, he ordered soldiers to restrain the sleeping party.

Zenith and Zeke were tied up with soft cloth and put on the wagon, while Aaron and Raast were tied up with hardened chains and thrown onto the fallow field.

“yes. I’m sure.”

Kanzel approached Aaron, who was sprawled on the floor.

slam! slam!

Even when his cheek was slapped so much that his head was spinning, he didn’t even budge.

From food with sleeping vinegar to sleep magic.

Aaron, blessed by Oberin, and Rhaast, a sword expert, did not have the ability to withstand such a double trap.

“You see? This isn’t just sleep, it’s like a coma. Even if you pull out your nails or cut off your limbs, it won’t happen.”

“good night. Success.”

Roy nodded his head in satisfaction.

“Now what? Kill them both?”

“The Count told me to bring the slave alive. But he’s not. Just kill it.”

Roy dragged Aaron to the front of the wagon and pointed at Rhaast.

Then, the soldier Duot drew a dagger and approached Rhaast.

“Ro, Roy!”

Just before the knife was thrust into Rhaast’s throat, one of the soldiers opened his eyes and shouted.

Roy felt an eerie murderous intent in the back of his head and turned his body.

Kwajik-

An unknown stream of red air passed through his shoulder.

“Ah!”

Roy sprawled awkwardly and let out a painful bob.

“It’s gone. A knight is a knight, right?”

Aaron, who sat up before he knew it, clicked his tongue briefly.

From noble mtl dot com

He was the strongest guy here, so I tried to deal with him quickly, but he responded faster than I thought.

“How did you wake up?”

Kangel opened his mouth and looked at Aaron.

The sword expert, Rhaast, is also asleep without knowing the world, but a kid that even Auras can’t handle is so fine.

I couldn’t figure out what the English language was.

“Canzel! What are you looking at! Do something quickly!”

“Oh, it will be fine! The chain that binds him has hardening magic… … .”

“You crazy bastard! Can’t you see the hole in my shoulder? What’s the use of chains when it comes to magic!”

Roy squeezed his shoulders and struggled.

What Aaron had just used was obviously magic.

Even if it was just a little bit late, the head, not the shoulder, would have been pierced.

To stop him, he had to gag his mouth, not tie him down.

‘Is that guy a wizard? Can’t you feel the magic?’

Kanzel carefully observed Aaron.

I couldn’t feel any magic power in the airflow it just exhaled.

It seemed that he had hidden something like an artifact for self-defense in case of a situation like this.

“Canzel! Hurry up and shut that bastard!”

“… … Silence!”

As Roy continued to brush him off, Kanzel cast a spell while breaking out in a cold sweat.

Silence, the magic that blocks the target’s mouth.

Since his body was tied up and even his mouth sealed, he couldn’t use artifacts or anything else.

[I resisted Silence cast by Kanzel (Lv. 24).]

“Turisaz.”

[Spirit is reduced by 7%.]

Cheng Kang!

As soon as the resistance message appeared, Aaron manifested the rune and cut the chain.

Even hardening magic on chains was useless in the face of magic haters and the power of runes.

“This, this crazy!”

Roy, who had been lying down in peace, jumped up in surprise.

Just as he was about to turn around and run away, something grabbed his back.

“Where are you going?”

Aaron didn’t miss him this time.

Kwajik!

After knocking him down, he stepped on his face, and his face sank, blood and eyeballs oozing out.

Aura user Roy died without even drawing his sword.

“Roy, Sir Roy!”

“That madman!”

As the unbelievable happened, the soldiers shouted and drew their weapons.

Kanzel thought it was the right time and quickly ran away behind the soldiers.

“But can we win? I don’t think that kid is normal.”

“sh*t. why do you ask me that?”

However, the soldiers did not rush to attack even after drawing their weapons.

The opponent is a monster that killed an Aura user with his bare hands.

Only ten soldiers could never win.

“What are you waiting for! Don’t hesitate and attack!”

This time Kanzel brushed off the soldiers.

Even though he was hired by the count’s family, he was higher in rank than the soldiers anyway.

“That is easier said than done.”

“Kanzel-nim, please stop doing that and help me.”

“Isn’t there some kind of strengthening magic? Other wizards are good at that.”

“Yeah, yes! I will cheer you up! Great force of nature!”

At the voice of the soldiers, Kanzel hurriedly signed an agreement.

Soon, a cloud of light spread from his hand and permeated the soldiers.

‘You’re trying.’

Aaron laughed.

What he just cast was transforming Light, the lowest level magic that creates light.

Of course, there was no such thing as a boosting effect.

“It doesn’t seem to have any effect?”

The soldiers looked at Kanzel with anxious eyes.

Kanzel was stunned for a moment, but then he swung his staff with anger.

“Are you saying you don’t believe me, a wizard? If you run away now, you will be killed by the Count anyway! I’ll help you, so go ahead and attack!”

“… … sh*t.”

Seeing Kanzel mentioning even the Count, the Ten Seal spat out a curse.

Running into Aaron and deserting.

The former may win, but the latter must die.

The Count is known for being harsh on deserters, so if he escapes and gets caught, he won’t die gracefully.

“Follow me everyone! The opponent is one!”

The ten seals came to a conclusion and rushed towards Aaron.

The rest of the soldiers shouted and followed him.

And Kanzel, who was the furthest behind, immediately turned around and started running away.

“okay. well thought out If they run away, you have to chase them down and kill them one by one.”

Serureung-

Aaron, who was watching the soldiers, pulled out the cosmos.
