Offer a Tribute and Become the Grand Wizard Episode 127.

What ran away [1]

It wasn’t exactly a witch’s magic.

It was a variation of Aolos’ magic combined with her miracles.

That was the case with using blood.

Gather the ashes to form a circle, draw diamonds pointing to the north, south, east, west, and pour blood into the center.

“The roots of water trees, the rakes of frogs, the scales of salmon. “A blood-fed rat.”

Add a drop of boiled water to the ash. When I dropped it, the ash turned black in an instant, then turned red as it absorbed the blood in the center, and then turned into a small piece of wood.

“A compass that eats blood.”

This was Anna’s magic.

“Can you find the head with this?”

“huh.”

Originally, in Aolos, items or clothing used by the opponent were needed instead of blood, but these were not easy to obtain and were not very efficient. So, Anna created a magic trick for herself, the ‘blood-eating compass’.

When I asked Tyrn, he said that it was ridiculous to modify a witch’s magic with a long tradition in one’s own way. This was once again where Anna’s genius stood out.

Ronobe is a compass that drinks blood. In other words, the ash that had turned into a red piece of wood was put into a round glass bottle.

“It moves.”

This acts as a compass.

Since the magic is not complete when the opponent dies, Ronobe had already failed several times and had just succeeded. Since he did not know which head was on which hook, he needed to distinguish between the blood of those who had already been sacrificed.

“good.”

After completing the magic using the blood-eating ash two more times, Ronobe immediately prepared.

“Are you leaving now?”

“That’s right. “It’s okay because it’ll be easy if you fly and come back.”

If you turn into a crow and fly away, you can quickly find it no matter where it is hiding.

It’s okay if the heads just die, but if not, I don’t know what they’ll do in the land of Gradas. If you can find it before any unnecessary trouble occurs, it is better to find it as quickly as possible and offer it as an offering.

“There are three anyway, so give me one.”

“but…”

It’s nothing else, it’s the head.

A head imbued with miracles used by Cloud. If you hide and use magic, even a knight will die. In a word, it was dangerous.

And more than anything else.

“There’s no need to do that.”

“why?”

“These guys. “They’re in the same direction.”

A piece of wood in a glass bottle.

The direction pointed by the bloody compass is all located in the same direction, north.

‘Someone might have it.’

Or maybe they were working together to do something. It’s right to deal with it before doing something unnecessary.

Because there is nothing good about increasing anxiety.

“I want to go too.”

“…”

Taking Benny will delay things in itself.

Because it can’t fly.

No matter how much she realized her talent as a knight, she couldn’t run faster than she could fly. Although the knights of this era have physical abilities that surpass those of humans, humans are still humans.

A knight’s strength is only slightly superior to that of a human, so it cannot surpass the species itself.

So you can’t fly.

“Ronobe is now a nobleman. He doesn’t have to fly around alone. “There’s that guy too, so let’s take him with us.”

“That guy?”

“The one raised by Ronobe.”

“ah.”

He was referring to Liam.

“Ronobe may have been with that bastard for a long time and has seen changes, but not me. I need to see it too. “How different.”

“hmm…”

Ronobe knows about Liam’s change, but Benny doesn’t. Benny didn’t have a good opinion of Liam. It seemed like he still remembered how he had brought his gang and harassed Ronobe in the past.

‘Come to think of it, Benny took a broom and beat them up.’

It’s only been a few months, but it seems like it’s been quite a while since a lot has happened.

In any case, if Liam is going to become a knight who will protect Lonobe’s territory in the future, it is right that he must win the eyes of Benny, the hostess.

In the past, I would have just flown in and quickly grabbed the head… but you never know.

You never know what they might be up to, so it’s best to be fully prepared.

Unlike before.

Because Ronobe’s status has changed.

“good.”

If it had been before, I would have persuaded them not to do it. Because it’s dangerous. But Benny is a knight now. Aaron guaranteed it, and he was also a knight with great talent who cut down the wizard’s magic. It’s not manly to be protected by my wife, but if you take Liam with you, it’s like having a meat shield, so there’s nothing wrong with that.

First of all, Benny is an archer.

Although she is currently holding a sword, her strongest power is sniping from a long distance.

It’ll probably be okay.

Ronobe immediately had an audience with Elysia.

“Did you find the head? “No, did you find it?”

“yes. There is no need for soldiers. “I would like you to give me the carriage.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to hand over a horse rather than a carriage?”

“Of course I do.”

But no.

Ronobe, Benny, Liam.

All are from rural villages.

I don’t know how to ride a horse.

‘I think I’ll ride Benny roughly.’

It’s ambiguous, so it’s better to get a carriage.

Ronobe was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. It seemed like there would be a rumor that Baron Hopper was an idiot who couldn’t ride a horse.

In this era, rumors travel faster than feet.

‘I need to learn how to ride a horse.’

Now you are a noble, not a commoner.

I had to at least ride a horse.

“Right. i get it. Sir Convair. “Give me the fastest carriage.”

“All right.”

Konvair gave Ronobe his best horse and carriage.

The wheels are stronger than those of Kayobe’s carriage and the joints are well oiled.

Plus, there are two horses pulling the carriage!

They were very sturdy guys.

“This carriage is a very precious one that has been handed down since our ancestors. As you can see, it is made of oak wood and is very sturdy. There will be no problem if you speed up.”

“thank you. “Lord Konvair.”

“Wizard heads are a danger to Gradas. Please take care of yourself.”

“yes.”

Konvir left and Ronobe turned around. Adequate luggage and food.

And then I saw two people with uncomfortable expressions.

It was Liam and Benny.

Liam was uncomfortable with his past mistakes, and Benny had no trust in him.

“It might take a few days. Most of the food will be sourced locally, and the carriage will be driven by Liam. You’ll drive it, so do it yourself. “You can at least drive a horse, right?”

“yes. You can.”

An uncomfortable journey has begun.

*

Three days later.

A village three days away by carriage.

Arrived at Kerasi.

Kerasi was similar to Petri in that it had a fence, but it was a village two to three times larger than Petri.

“Liam, do you know about Kerasi?”

“I don’t know.”

“What do you know?”

“sorry.”

“Is that all I’m sorry about? If you’re sorry, will your military service end? “So, can I become a knight?”

“… sorry.”

“Uh, why does your hand go to the sword?”

“Well, it’s a habit. Besides, it’s a village…”

“Let’s do well?”

“yes.”

Ronobe got off the carriage.

No, I was going to get off. Because it was the duty to reveal one’s identity in front of the wooden fence.

But I didn’t have to take it down.

Grumble.

The fence was opened.

“Why is it open? “Is it an automatic door?”

“Anyone who sees a carriage will know that it is a nobleman.”

“Yeah, I see.”

It is not a carriage similar to a donkey-cart like Petri. A stylish, aristocratic carriage with two horses. It was a carriage that even a local scoundrel could tell was belonging to a nobleman.

“Is that true?”

Ronobe passed the barrier without any problems and soon got off the carriage. At the sight of the carriage, which anyone could tell was noble, and his man getting out of it, the chief of Kerasi ran up to him in a huff and bowed to him.

“What happens in this lowly place…”

“hmm.”

Ronobe felt it again.

‘I am a true nobleman.’

Thinking about the last time I went to Petri, I suddenly felt like crying.

This is not the look in the eyes of people who are wary of foreigners upon arrival. The look in his eyes is fearful because he knows that if he looks at the nobles, he will be screwed.

‘This is power…’

Ronobe spread his hand and covered his mouth. He had a hard time holding back his laughter. Either way, the chief of Kerashi was restless, wondering if he had done something wrong. Ronobe’s laughter died down after a while before he opened his mouth.

“I have come to retrieve the head of the evil wizard under the orders of the great lord Gradas. Those heads are extremely dangerous. “Have you ever seen it?”

At this, the village chief shook his head so quickly that his head fell out.

“There is nothing so ominous in our village… A head wandering alone, such an ominous thing…”

“Hmm, I see.”

It seemed like he didn’t know much either.

But the compass points here.

Ronobe picked up the bottle and walked quietly across the village. His little children and the residents who had gathered to see the nobleman were divided like the Red Sea.

“He’s so small, but he’s a noble?”

“You still look young…”

“What is that wand?”

“I think my leg hurts.”

“You idiot, you’re a wizard. “You can’t tell just by looking at it, right?”

“Wow, is this the boy wizard who saved the lord?”

It was quite a story, and the story of Ronobe and Elysia was spreading in Kerasi, which was relatively close to the castle. The more famous one was obviously the Gaisha who killed the imperial wizard, but the romance spread through puppet shows was also a story that children particularly enjoyed.

“Then that person and the lord…”

“Hmm.”

As I fell asleep as if I was upset, the whispering noises disappeared. Soon, her fear began to give way to curiosity, and her perspective on Lonobe changed quite a bit.

I trembled at the attention and attention I had never received before.

There is no one who doesn’t like attention.

This is especially true if it is full of goodwill. Human beings need the attention of others to the extent that there is a saying that people live for attention.

Ronobe was like that too.

Rather, as I had lived a long period of being ignored, the favor and attention of others that came as a reward was as sweet as honey.

‘Sweet, sweet.’

This is nobility.

This is a wizard.

This is the hero of Gradas!

“Ear, noble! “Did you really fight an imperial wizard?”

A fearless child shouted.

The village elders were so shocked that they grabbed the child and beat him.

“A poem from a child who doesn’t know anything, it’s nonsense! “Please don’t be angry!”

However, Ronobe’s face was kind.

“Uh huh, why are you hitting the child? Leave it alone. “It’s not like I’m asking about something that doesn’t exist.”

“omg!”

“Thank you for the blessings of the sun and the sun…”

Ronobe shouted in front of the children.

“The imperial wizard was strong. It was a monster that carried multiple heads and used various magic. But the heroes of Gradas did not lose.”

“Wow!”

“Hero of Gradas!”

“Oooh…”

I was naturally excited because the response was so good.

However, he mainly talked about other people’s stories rather than his own. As Gaisha briefly told the story of how she summoned lightning to destroy the castle gate, Aaron and Benny confronted the wizard, and Elysia wielded a giant fiery snake, the children’s eyes sparkled brightly and they seemed deeply excited.

The village adults were not much different.

My heart seemed to be full, as if I had heard an absurd story that was dismissed as nothing more than a legend.

Ronobe especially talked a lot about Gaisha. He couldn’t really see Gaisha’s magic himself, so he exaggerated as much as he could from what he heard.

“The thunderbolt was as huge as God’s scourge. The gate was completely smashed. The empire’s wizard was struck by lightning once, lost his temper, and committed obscene acts. I made the heads scatter and targeted the back with various magic at once. “It was very trash.”

“Oooh, trash!”

“The Empire is a bunch of scum!”

“I hate the Empire!”

Well, it wasn’t wrong.

When they finally told the story that they had all worked together to defeat the evil imperial wizard, there were even cheers. There must have been quite a few people who passed through this place, but it seems that no one spoke in detail.

The children were immersed in the story, holding sticks and swinging them like knights or pretending to use magic like wizards.

Adults were not much different.

I pretended not to be like that and secretly opened my palm or swung the farming tool in my hand, harboring unreasonable expectations. Ronobe smiled and passed them by.

“Why didn’t you tell me about Baron June?”

It was Liam.

Ronobe thought for a moment and then answered.

“Because I don’t have to.”

Ronobe’s eyes became serious.

In this unusual atmosphere, Liam tried to suppress his curiosity and followed him.

‘It’s my story…’

There was nothing special about Ronobe talking about Gaisha or others rather than about himself. This is because they hoped that one day, even when they die, they would become ‘gods’. Currently, Gaisha’s soul has disappeared, but as she continues to tell her story, she may become a god someday.

All the gods Ronobe has met so far are famous. These are people who dominated an era or left a mark. This is related to fame, so I just did it just in case. I won’t be able to become a god to this extent… but I still want to do it.

Because it’s not like you’re losing money.

“Is this place?”

Ronobe entered Kerasi and continued walking. Wherever the compass leads.

At the end.

“Where?”

There was a shabby house.

“This place is…”

The village chief was reluctant to speak.

At first glance, it looked more shabby than other houses and seemed like an uninhabited house.

“It is a place where two orphans from the village live, but it is not a place for precious people to visit…”

“Open the door. The head will be here.”

Ronobe held his staff tightly.

Liam took out his sword and shield, and Benny raised his iron bow. Then the village chief and residents who were watching immediately ran away. Ronobe used magic regardless.

“Jiyu.”

The oil that came up from under the ground soon took the shape of a person. It soared into a shape similar in size to Ronobe, and it wouldn’t be strange to say it was an oil golem.

Let’s open the breakable door with it.

“Aaaah!!”

Immediately, the wall of the house collapsed, the ground shook, and the ground rose.

The ground is swirling like a whirlwind.

‘Earth skin!’

It is the miracle of ‘leather dyed with the earth’.

A powerful miracle that turns the earth into leather and wraps itself around the opponent and tightens it. The voice just now clearly belonged to a child, but this is the magic of the head.

‘I don’t know what happened.’

I couldn’t just sit back and watch.

“drift ice.”

Let’s chant softly.

Oil covered the swirling ground, and immediately a chill froze everything from within the oil. If a whirlwind rising into the sky were frozen, wouldn’t it look like this? Ronobe, who had created an impossible miracle, frowned unexpectedly.

because.

“…Have you made a friend?”

Inside the hard frozen drift ice. This was because the severed head and a child were trembling while hugging each other preciously.
