Offer a Tribute and Become the Grand Wizard Episode 131.

What ran away [5]

If it were like before, I would have rushed over and beat up Bores as soon as I saw him.

But it was different now.

Ronobe returned to the carriage.

“Why are you going back?”

Ronobe answered Liam’s question.

“My brother-in-law is in there.”

“Among the bandits? Then isn’t that a good thing? “I ask for help.”

I asked if it was actually a good thing, but Ronobe shook his head.

Liam didn’t understand what was happening, but he felt like he shouldn’t ask any more questions, so he glanced at Benny. She was equally curious. She talks about useless things in small words, but doesn’t talk about really important things in secret, which was because of Nobe.

But Benny didn’t ask. She didn’t want to be the tactless woman who asked what she was reluctant to say. As that understanding continued, the three did not exchange a single word while returning to the carriage.

“!”

Peter practiced writing letters with a stick on the floor and greeted them with a bright face when they returned.

“Did nothing happen?”

“!!”

Nod your head.

It looks like nothing happened.

Ronobe went into the carriage and lay down. Perhaps out of consideration, Benny didn’t come inside.

“There is no need to call on God.”

This is a matter of mindset.

Of course, there is one reason why Ronobe is so worried.

Bores.

He may have been sent to prison with malice toward him. He was worried that war would break out, so he was sent to prison.

Didn’t he leave alone in the first place?

The reason Bores sent Ronove to prison was not for his sake. Then what is it?

This is to disgrace Ronobe.

Then why did you do that?

“You mean you don’t know that.”

What choice should Ronobe make after encountering Bores in this situation?

People cannot be judged by what they say.

This was a theory that Ronobe had established in his own way throughout his life.

People’s sincerity is revealed through their actions rather than their words. Just as Benny folds the blanket for you, does the dishes, and pats you good night, a person’s sincerity is more deeply ingrained in actions than words.

Even Benny, who didn’t really like Liam, built up some trust in him by raising his shield and protecting Ronobe whenever he was in a dangerous situation. In this way, people can gain trust through their actions and build trust through their actions.

But what about Bores?

Despite being his brother-in-law, Bores was malicious towards Lonove, who did nothing, and lowered his trust.

I did something that would have nothing to do with killing me.

That’s why I’m worried.

Bores…

Should I kill him or not?

“Still, he’s my brother-in-law.”

But he is a killer.

These two conflicts sharply clashed in Ronobe’s mind.

‘Killing people is easy.’

But it is difficult to hear the truth.

My head hurt.

“Should I ask the teacher?”

Yonterion would give a simple answer.

However, I was worried.

This is because he cannot give a very simple answer to Jonterion.

“They’ll probably tell me to kill him.”

If you ask for a reason, they will eventually tell you that he is the one who tried to kill you and that you should be killed. I felt like if I listened to their reasons, they would end up feeling bad and not understanding them.

That’s what Ronobe thinks.

Whatever the reason, what he ultimately did to himself was unforgivable.

What can I do with a reason?

He was already in prison, and if he hadn’t been a wizard, he would have died.

That guy tried to kill Ronobe.

The punishment for that is, of course, life.

“Peter. “Bring Liam.”

“!!”

Lonobe opened the carriage door and called Liam. Soon Peter called Liam over.

Liam was drenched in sweat as he had been training nearby.

“Did you call me?”

“Liam. “I want to ask you something.”

“Please excuse me.”

Liam swallowed his saliva without realizing it in an unusual atmosphere.

Soon Ronobe opened his mouth.

“There is a bug that bites you. “Then what are you going to do?”

“I have to kill him. “I will crush you to the point where there is no shape left and I will kill you.”

It was an immediate answer.

“So what if your brother stabbed you?”

Liam has two older brothers. One is Gorton of Petri, whom Lonobe knows well, and the other is unknown to him, but he has heard that she lives well somewhere.

“If your brother stabbed you, would you still kill him?”

Unlike the first time, Liam hesitated and thought about it, as if he was a little embarrassed.

And I answered.

“I will kill you.”

“okay…?”

“You can probably beat him up without killing him. It may be possible to disable a person’s limbs and cause them to live in pain for the rest of their lives. But that’s more cruel. “It’s better for both of us to kill cleanly.”

“…”

When Ronobe remained silent, Liam added without even asking.

“If I were a noble, I would have killed more.”

“because.”

“I heard that nobles must be sure to make and break ties. “They say that a vague grudge will one day lead to a big disaster.”

Liam got down on one knee and pleaded.

“Kill him.”

It’s not that I don’t have any sense.

It seems like he has a general idea of ​​what the situation is.

“I killed a lot of people. “Most of them were trying to kill me.”

“Isn’t he the same?”

“But he is my brother-in-law. “He is also the father of my nephew.”

“But he is a killer.”

“but…”

“It was not you who almost died, but Baron June. “Why are you worried about him?”

Liam is right.

“Baron June is a man who will become great in the future. Although he has nothing now, he has the power to soon create power and cultivate a territory and become the lord or lord of a castle.”

A person like that.

“Who would trust and follow Baron June if he had to hesitate because of an old relationship that has become a bandit and a babbler?”

“…”

“I heard that to be a noble means to be someone who must know how to take care of even one’s own family. “Isn’t it a position where you have to protect and protect those around you rather than the guy who pointed a knife at you?”

There is no mistake in every word.

‘What is this guy? Why are you so smart…’

It’s simply because he knows the physiology of nobles and the flow of the world better than Ronobe. That’s why it survived. He was admonishing this because he had learned many things after experiencing war twice.

“Ronobe.”

“Now even speaking informally? “It’s a crime to be a nobleman!”

“It’s an insult, Ronobe.”

“Yes, it is a crime of contempt!”

Liam said without heeding anything.

“You told me. Become the knight who protects you. I wasn’t very interested at first, but not anymore. “I truly want to be the knight who protects you.”

By being together up to this point, Liam has fully experienced Ronobe’s power.

They say I played a big role in the fight against the Wizard, and I even heard a rumor that I defeated the Wizard all by myself.

At first, I didn’t pay much attention to it.

Even if a Sist idiot became a magician, I thought it would be enough magic to defeat one or two people at best.

However, Ronobe’s magic, which he saw in person, was at a level that even Liam, who had experienced childbirth before, was shocked. Now, I deeply realize that the rumor about defeating the Empire Wizard was not just a rumor.

He even thought that he, who had always been unlucky, had finally gotten lucky. So he is admonishing from the bottom of his heart. For those who will serve with sincerity, not just from the same village or from the same neighborhood.

“And you? Have you become someone who deserves my protection?”

Ronobe was speechless.

‘A being to be protected…’

Ronobe has just become a nobleman.

The age here is only fifteen.

Although there were many people before, he was still immature and immature. However, being immature also meant that there was a lot of room for growth.

“… thanks. “Liam.”

“no. Baron June. “I will punish you severely for my rudeness just now.”

It’s a rope that I barely caught.

It was difficult because it had already been cut off.

“Okay, take your punishment. Even so, it was harsh to speak informally to a nobleman who was not even a knight.”

“…”

“I could do it! Should I have slapped your ass! I am so grateful that I will end this by doing laundry for a year. “Thank you for doing your laundry.”

Washing clothes with lye is difficult.

Laundry in this era doesn’t hold up well and the quality of the fabric is poor, so if you hit it with a stick a few times, it gets torn and ruined.

Therefore, you need to wash the clothes gently and skillfully to remove dirt so that they do not tear.

It’s not an easy task.

Benny said that laundry is not for men and that he would never help her, but he was so angry that he could not help him, but now that he could help him with the laundry as a punishment, a smile was drawn on Ronobe’s lips.

“…”

Liam was speechless.

However, Ronobe knew that this was not a denial of punishment, and that he was already deeply feeling the hardships to come.

‘Do you mean to become someone who wants to serve?’

A guy who wasn’t even a knight already had a lot to complain about.

Still, thanks.

‘My hair has become simpler.’

There was no longer any reason to hesitate.

*

next day.

Ronobe woke up early in the morning and broke into the bandits’ cave. If you transform into a sparrow and use ‘sound-eating feet’, you won’t be caught by those napping or sleeping lazily.

First of all, the cave was dirty.

The men were drinking alcohol and sleeping lazily, and the smell was terrible, as if they hadn’t washed properly.

It seemed more like it was because it was a cave and there was no proper ventilation. And it wasn’t just a dirty smell.

The women were captured.

‘Disgusting commoners.’

Last night too, there was a disgusting smell as if I had let go of my lust.

Ronobe covered his nose with his wings and tried to suppress the urge to kill that was boiling up without him even knowing. Now, even if we look at it objectively, Ronobe is strong. He became a strong man who could easily kill dozens of people.

So, I had to be even more wary of murder and set my own rules.

‘The person who harmed me.’

Or someone who is clearly likely to cause harm.

In his conversation with Liam, Ronobe pondered and made a promise to himself.

And these were people who followed the rules they had set for themselves. Even if left alone, these scum will plunder nearby villages, kidnap women, and rape them.

I have no hesitation in killing them.

My brother-in-law, who belonged here, was no exception.

‘Secure the head first.’

Perhaps because it was an abandoned mine, the cave was wide and long.

Ronobe flew for a long time and arrived at the end of an abandoned mine, where a hut made of logs joined together occupied a fairly large space.

It was probably the outbuilding of the bandit leader.

‘What should I do?’

The head is probably in there.

If so, should I somehow get in, or should I just kill them all?

‘Among the bandits, there may be one who uses his head. There may be someone like Peter who realized his talent as a wizard.’

If so, it is very dangerous.

A single bandit is no match for a single truck, but a wizard is different.

Peter, now eight years old, uses magic like that. It was always better to keep the worst in mind and act accordingly.

So what is the best choice?

The answer was surprisingly close.

‘If I set it on fire, something will work out.’

The fire was started using oil. It wasn’t that big of a fire. But it was also a fire that could not be easily extinguished.

Blistering heat, fire in the cabin.

As the smoke billowed out, the abandoned mine began to explode into chaos.

“fire! It’s fire! Fire! “You idiots!!”

Ronobe, who had settled down on a log that had been set up as a spare, quietly watched the bandits across the river as if they were watching the fire as if they were trying hard to put out the fire. While there was someone who dug up the dirt with a shovel and covered it up, there was also someone who brought sewage from somewhere and sprinkled it on it.

But even so, the fire did not go out.

If you turn off this side, the other side appears, and if you turn off the other side, this side burns brightly, and before you know it, you have begun to choose to run away rather than put out the fire.

“Do, run away!”

“Damn it! Women! “The women should be released!”

“What does that have to do with the current situation!”

“Fuck it!”

If a fire occurs in an enclosed space, oxygen becomes scarce. Many people collapsed from exhaustion while trying to put out the fire. Ronobe looked at them quietly and untied the ropes of the tied women.

“help me! “I have strength in my legs…!”

“come fast!”

The women managed to escape on their own.

Ronobe remained calm even in the abandoned mine where the fire was burning brightly. She was a fire of her own making, and she could put it out at any time. It didn’t really matter because she had already put on cool cloth clothes.

‘That’s strange.’

Some time has passed since the fire started.

But the cabin remains silent.

Bores was nowhere to be seen.

Ronobe thought for a moment and sprinkled the wet thread around the cabin. After spraying it twice, the fire in the cabin was quickly extinguished.

And when I opened the door.

“This is a bit unexpected.”

There was a dead person inside.

He didn’t die in the fire.

He had been stabbed to death with a sword.

It looked like it had no head… It was probably a sign that there had been some kind of fight.

“If this guy is the bandit leader… First of all, there is no Bores here either.”

There is no trace of Bores in the cave.

So is this also Bores’s doing?

For some reason, it seemed like that would be the case.

Ronobe hurriedly left the abandoned mine.

Those who are resting and saying they barely survived, and those who are complaining of pain. And then I saw some guys trying to catch the woman who ran away.

“Damn it, the boss didn’t come out! What do we do?”

“Let’s catch those bitches and sell them.”

“What about that ‘head’? “You need that brain to make a lot of money!”

“I guess it burned without knowing…”

“Ha, damn it. The deal was made today…! “If we had made the transaction on time today, we would have made a lot of money!”

“Who doesn’t know that? Shit!”

You have to have brains to make a lot of money.

Clearly they had heads.

But it disappeared overnight.

They don’t know where the head is.

And Bores disappeared too.

‘Compass, I need to check again.’

Just as it was about to fly away.

“hey. “Why are you so discouraged?”

There was a man who appeared with a genuine smile.

“Bores!!”

“Why are you out there?”

“Weren’t you with the boss?”

“well. “I wonder what it would be like.”

Next to Bores, there were two bandits protecting him.

“you…”

“Are you betraying your boss?”

“What are you talking about? I just hid the head separately in preparation for those who would betray me. “The boss asked me to do it.”

It was a lie.

The guy who seemed to be the leader was dead.

‘It’s all different, really.’

How could the biggest coward in Hopper town change like that? Lies come out like water.

“Are you sure?”

“That can’t be possible, the boss trusted you so much? can not believe it!”

“If you don’t want to believe it, you can’t do it. It’s okay if you don’t trust me. But you can believe in the value of this head.”

Bores took his head out of the bundle.

‘It’s corrupting. The power of magic is also weak.’

Dying. But it seems like it doesn’t matter to them.

“The vassal of Djerba will come soon. Then we can hand it over and get a lot of money. Didn’t everyone want that? He said he would make a lot of money and return to his hometown. “You said you would have a new life!”

Djerba.

It is a territory north of Gradas.

‘A noble from the kingdom buys the head of an empire wizard? I don’t even know what kind of magic it is, but I can’t believe I bought it…’

no.

Imperial Wizard.

This is one of the heads owned by head collector Cloud. Even if they had just one, it would be quite a magic spell for them. Even if they salvage just one, it is no different from a windfall for them.

‘Since the head doesn’t have an owner, I thought it wouldn’t be so bad to hide it for a few years and find a talented person and raise him to be a wizard, even if it was in the territory right next door.’

Honestly, it’s not a bad method.

Ronobe is also quite happy about Peter’s presence now. Knights and wizards are essential to protect my territory.

Power is something that is either lacking or lacking.

If that was the magic the Empire used, they would definitely be excited and try to save it.

So what they say cannot be false.

“Will you join me and make a lot of money, or will you go back to your hometown penniless?”

“If I kill you and take your head, your share of the money will disappear. is not it?”

The bandits’ eyes sparkled with greed.

But Bores was not afraid.

“But it doesn’t matter. But will it be okay? “If you kill me, no one will know where to do business with nobles.”

“that…”

When the bandits hesitate.

“Won’t you tell me if I beat you up?”

A new person appeared before them.

“Who is it?”

“nobility?”

A boy with flowing blond hair and holding a cane. The clothes he was wearing were clearly a stylish coat and cape that only nobles wore.

The boy shouted judgment-like words with an extremely arrogant expression.

“It is annihilation.”
