Only I Am Immune to Magic

Chapter 056. Is this 121 gold coins?

“dismissal. This is the list of items purchased by Bocchan Aaron.”

five days later After purchasing everything Aaron requested, Derek handed the bill to the Baron.

“… … 46 silver coins for 121 gold coins?”

Seeing the amount written on the end of the parchment, the baron trembled.

121 gold coins is equivalent to the monthly budget of the Minor Territory.

I wondered what the hell he had spent so much money on.

“I also wondered if this was right when I was buying it, but His Excellency said that everything was okay… … .”

Derek sweated profusely.

Aron boasted that it was okay, so I thought of course the baron would have allowed it, but it seemed that it was not.

“I gave permission for everything.”

The baron sighed briefly and nodded.

Since being freed from slavery, Aaron has never asked to buy anything.

They ate whatever food they gave them, and wore whatever they gave them clothes.

There were times when I asked if he needed anything because he was holding back his desires in his frugal life unlike his peers, but he always waved, saying it was okay.

Because he was that kind of Aaron, he thought it would be a relief if he could spend even one gold coin this time.

But 121 coins, not 10 coins or 20 coins.

I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it.

“Shall we cancel everything and think again?”

Derek asked cautiously.

121 gold coins was too much money, no matter how much he was told to use it.

The Baron shook his head.

“All right. To become a stepping stone to a hero, you have to spend this amount of money. Let’s see what you bought.”

Most of what was written on the parchment were the miscellaneous things I had said when I first came to the baron.

Cheap items, mostly worth less than a few silver coins.

By the end of the list, nothing was worth more than one gold coin.

“I could never come up with this kind of money… … ?”

The baron, who tilted his head, stopped talking.

It was because the purchase items written at the end of the parchment caught my eye.

[Tears of the Fairy Queen – 120 Gold Coins]

“It was this.”

The baron laughed and muttered.

* * *

“Tears of the Fairy Queen? Why did you buy something so expensive? What doesn’t His Excellency the Baron say?”

same time. Rhaast reprimanded Aaron for coming to the annex.

In Aaron’s hand was a jewel the size of a finger that glowed in a variety of colors.

Tears of the Fairy Queen.

The fairies, who mainly live around the water of life, shed tears only when they die, and the tears their queen shed are these jewels.

Fairy tears have the meaning of not shedding tears until death, and are mainly used as a token of marriage between nobles.

However, Aaron, who was not engaged in marriage, bought the tears of the Fairy Queen, who was not a normal fairy, so he could not understand his intentions.

“I will use it in Death Landing.”

“Do you know any women there?”

“huh.”

“yes? Really?”

“I will know when I go.”

Aaron smiled incomprehensibly and took care of the jewelry.

“I have never seen such beautiful jewelry in my life.”

Unlike Raast, who was not very interested in jewelry, Leah’s reaction was different.

Just a moment ago, he had been sullen when he heard that his brother was leaving soon, but his expression changed drastically when he saw the jewel that Aaron had taken out.

Rhaast looked at her with a puzzled face.

“I didn’t buy it for you, so don’t take your eyes off it.”

“Do I know?”

Leah raised her eyebrows.

“Even if it’s not the tears of the Fairy Queen, there are other presents.”

“yes? really?”

At Aaron’s words, Leah quickly relaxed her expression.

Aaron rummaged in his arms and took out something long.

A silver necklace with a blue gem the size of a middle fingernail.

Leah’s eyes widened.

“wow… … .”

“receive. It was made at the request of Zeke.”

“Are you Master Zeke?”

“okay. He asked me to tell him instead, as if he was embarrassed by his appearance. Keep it and ask for it to be filled later.”

“uh… … yes. Thank you.”

Leah received the necklace with a puzzled expression.

I was just grateful, but receiving such a gift made me feel strange.

“young master. Come here for a second.”

Rast, who was watching Leah’s reaction, dragged Aaron into a corner.

“Did Master Zeke really give you that?”

“huh. You asked for it as soon as you arrived at the manor? There is a jewel embedded there, a fragment of the magic core that was used to save Leah. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.”

“her… … I never thought I would have had such a dark mind.”

Dark speculation flowed from his eyes.

He was ready to kick out of the annex and knock Zeke out at any moment.

“What are you thinking?”

“I’m thinking of turning Master Zeke into a eunuch.”

“hey. He’s only 15 years old. Your brother is also 14 years old. Don’t pour cold water on the children’s fresh love and stay quiet.”

“Great. Are you saying that it’s someone else’s business?”

“What’s up? It’s my brother’s job too.”

“… … .”

Rhaast was at a loss for words.

Aaron patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the door.

“Stop thinking nonsense and follow me. You should prepare to leave soon.”

* * *

There was nothing wrong with being prepared.

A four-person tent for sleeping, an artifact for temperature control, an ignition device for cooking, a brass bowl, and dry food that can be stored for a long time.

In fact, the money spent on travel items was only about 1 gold, so it was natural.

“This is 121 gold coins. It’s not too small.”

Rhaast said with a depressed face.

After organizing all the luggage, three backpacks came out.

It was just as Aaron had planned.

“If you have a lot of luggage, you needlessly slow down. The shortage of supplies can be made up locally.”

“At Death Landing?”

“huh.”

“hahahaha.”

Rhaast shook his head.

Not anywhere else, but in Death Landing to supply supplies.

It was a land where nothing was clean, but it was fortunate if I didn’t die from eating something wrong.

“Saintess, please say something.”

“I believe in Aaron.”

It was useless to ask Nesty for help.

They both said they had been blessed by heroes, so they thought the same thing.

Rhaast picked up three backpacks with a face that said, “It’s okay.”

“Let’s go.”

After getting ready, the group notified the people of the mansion that they were leaving.

As they loaded their horses and waited, people including the baron came out to see them off.

“Do you really need anything more?”

From noble mtl dot com

“yes. father. The fact that you have already taken care of us is more than enough.”

“okay. You must fulfill your mission.”

“older brother.”

After the Baron’s plain greeting, Zeke approached.

“You must come back.”

“There will be a day when I will see you again. Take good care of your father.”

Aaron hugged him tightly.

Rhaast also approached Zeke and held out his hand.

“Please take care of Leah. young master.”

It was a word with many meanings.

Zeke glanced at Leah, who was standing in the corner.

Around her neck, a silver necklace she had worn herself not too long ago was shining.

“I will be a good friend. don’t worry.”

“It should be.”

In Rhaast’s eyes, speculation was too young for an instant.

Zeke flinched, shook hands as if nothing had happened, and stepped back.

“Aaron.”

Just as I was about to finish and turn around, Janice called Aaron.

She hesitated for a moment, then covered her mouth with a fan.

“Take care of yourself.”

“Yes, please respect my aunt too.”

Aaron smiled and nodded.

It was time to leave.

* * *

“Hmmm~ Hmmm~”

A few days later. The road from Oddhaken to the south.

Nesty was humming a song to the beat of the horse’s gait.

It’s been days since they left, but the taste of freedom is still sweet.

Even though the snow melted, mud splashed on the muddy ground, and my butt tingled after riding a horse for hours, I felt good.

“You look in a good mood.”

Aaron, who was walking side by side, spoke to her.

“Good or bad. Is this how a bird that gets out of its cage feels? I think it will really fly.”

Nesty took a deep breath after saying that.

The fresh air of early spring filled the lungs.

“By the way, Aaron, are you okay? If you go far away, you won’t be able to get help from your family.”

Aaron gave up his status as Oddhaken’s legitimate son and chose to become a savage.

Of course, the surname Oddhaken would not disappear, but if he left the territory, he would be able to use the family name, but he would not be able to get help directly.

“With freedom comes responsibility. It has already been resolved.”

“That is a good word. I want to write it down too.”

Nesty nodded as if she realized something.

“I see Blade Gulch.”

Raast, who was leading, raised his hand and pointed somewhere.

I could see jagged shadows under the sunlight that was slowly starting to set.

A huge gorge that crosses Arnin’s territory and Death Landing.

If you cross over there, you will finally reach lifeless land.

“If you go a little further, you will see a watchtower. Let’s make a camp near it.”

Aaron said, narrowing his eyes.

The troops dispatched from Arnin are stationed on the road leading to the Blade Canyon.

It was to wipe out criminals and thieves trying to cross the gorge and to maintain security in the nearby village.

“great.”

“great.”

The party drove the horse with a half nervous and half excited heart.

There was still some time left before the sun was completely set, so there was no need to rush.

“There he is.”

As Aaron said, after walking for some time, he saw a small cabin built on the side of the road.

It was an outpost where sentinels from the garrison lived.

“But why is no one here?”

“That’s right. At this point, someone should come out.”

Originally, two people waited in front of the guard post and the other two were supposed to rest inside, but for some reason, there was no one inside or outside.

kiik-

“Are you there?”

Aaron approached the guard post without hesitation and opened the door.

However, only the items used by the soldiers were placed inside.

“There is no sign of an attack.”

Rhaast, who was looking around the guard post, shook his head.

There were recent footprints, but no signs of raids or battles.

“Here is something.”

Nesty, who was searching the guard post with Aaron, pulled something out from behind the desk.

It was a work journal used by the workers, but it was stuck in an invisible place behind the desk as if it were hidden.

“Let’s see.”

Aaron laid the crumpled and torn journal on the desk and unfolded it.

『March 4th.

– no problem.

March 5.

– no problem. Jackson, Maurian, and Steve report strange dreams.

March 6.

– No more than outside work.

– Everyone at the post, including myself, had a strange dream. A dream in which another me appears and has a conversation. All four are extremely displeased with the content of the dream.

– Reduce patrol time and increase rest time.

March 7th.

– No more than outside work.

– After Jackson wakes up, he goes into a state of panic. He reports that he met him in a dream and tried to kill him.

– Two other people reported fighting him in their dreams.

– Ordered Jackson to rest for a day.

March 8th.

– Jackson is missing.

– I searched around but couldn’t find it. Desertion suspected.

– Maurian and Steve show similar symptoms to Jackson.

March 9th.

– Maureen, Steve is missing.

March 10th.

– … …

』

Nothing was written on the last page of the journal.

The squad leader who wrote the journal seemed to be missing like the other soldiers.

[The magic hater senses the flow of mana.]

As soon as I put down the journal, a message came to my mind.

“… … !”

Aaron hurriedly lowered his gaze following the reverberation of magic.

Dense magical energy was swirling beneath her feet.

‘sh*t.’

He pushed Nesti, who was standing next to him, as hard as he could.

“Kyaaak!”

Nesty, who was looking at the journal with a serious face, was pushed out of the post by Aaron’s hand.

“Aaron! why are you doing this… … ?”

Kwak Kwak!

Nesty’s panicked voice was drowned out by the sound of an explosion hitting her ear.
