Offer a Tribute and Become an Archmage - Chapter 228
Only Noblemtl
Episode 228.
It’s been a week since Ronobe left for Seolsan.
Liam spent his time training with the soldiers or hunting in the surrounding area.
“It’s taking a long time.”
It was Ron.
Liam nodded.
“It’s a snowy mountain with no peak visible. It would take a long time just to climb up and come down. And these people live in such a remote place. They might say that it has nothing to do with them whether the orcs rule the land or not. It would take time to convince them.”
Until then, they guard the carriage.
The content is simple.
“Captain. But, Sir Nas. Can you have a child?”
“…Why do you ask that?”
Disgust flashed across Liam’s eyes.
Ron grumbled, startled.
“No, I’m just curious. I wasn’t originally a woman, but I became a woman… and I’m curious to know if I can still have children.”
“I don’t know either. I wouldn’t know even if I died if I said something like that in front of Lord Nas.”
“Hey, never do that.”
I thought it was just a simple dirty joke, but judging from Ron’s serious expression, it didn’t seem like that was the case.
“Arthur. Lord Nass wouldn’t be interested in that kind of thing.”
“Huh? How did the captain know?”
“It’s just a feeling. You too, don’t waste your time and practice.”
Certainly, Sir Nass is not bad-looking and has the temperament to be a model knight. He is also strong. In this day and age, strong women are attractive. Being strong is also proof that you can have many children.
Even without that, Nas is definitely an attractive woman. She may look a little different, but that doesn’t matter. She has a strength that goes beyond that.
“Could it be that the captain also has feelings for Lord Nas? I’m sorry, but I respect the captain and will yield to him for anything, but I cannot yield to Lord Nas.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I like a woman I can protect rather than a strong woman.”
“Really? Actually, I thought the captain was a homosexual.”
“What? Why me.”
“That’s understandable. He doesn’t even pay attention to women and only serves the Baron. Even among the soldiers, there are rumors that the Captain is actually in love with the Baron… Ouch!”
He kicked Ron with his foot, sending him rolling over and landing on Tibal’s shoulder. Tibal looked at Ron pitifully.
“If you have time to listen to such rumors, think about how to become stronger. Isn’t that more appropriate for the current situation?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
When he turned his gaze, he saw that the old soldiers and the privates were continuing their sparring. Some of them were even betting money, and Liam knew who the winner was without even looking.
‘Experience is something that cannot be ignored.’
The privates lost to the old soldiers, even if they were a hundred.
Although private soldiers are strong, they are helpless against the skills of old soldiers.
Old soldiers from the North.
They were strong.
“Sir Liam! Oh, we’re in trouble!”
“What’s going on?”
A soldier at a makeshift wooden outpost shouted.
“Orcs! Huge orcs and… people too! They’re coming, they’re coming! You have to prepare for battle!”
“What? The enemy numbers!”
“At least fifty!”
“An axe! Is there an orc with an axe?!”
“Yes! There are! More than five!”
He is the guy with the best eyesight among the privates.
That guy was Medro, who had been taught archery by Benny, so he couldn’t be lying.
Anyway, it was a big deal.
Liam thought quickly.
‘There are less than twenty privates. Even if we add up all the old soldiers, our number is less than forty soldiers per knight.’
Of course, there are wizards, but they are still children and disciples of their lord. We cannot put them in danger.
“Uh, what should I do?”
I had to make a decision.
“Get ready to move!”
You cannot fight without your lord’s orders.
But if things continue like this, we’ll end up fighting.
First, avoid the body. If you fight, it is right to fight after your lord arrives.
‘There may be a great warrior.’
If there is a great warrior, you cannot win.
First of all, it was best to avoid the body.
“Pack your bags quickly!”
“Grab it! Grab it quickly! If you don’t want to die a dog’s death, grab everything except your panties and run away!”
Liam looked at the snowy mountain for a moment, gritted his teeth, and started the carriage.
“Hey!”
After Liam fled with his private soldiers and carriage, the Blue Handed Great Warrior Kiba appeared at the entrance of the snowy mountain and looked around.
This time, he touched the ground with his blue hands and nodded.
“What did you see this time?”
The one who spoke to Kiba was a long-haired man wearing glasses.
Kiba looked at him with cold eyes and then muttered.
“I went to Seolsan.”
At the same time, a sigh escaped, and the orcs glared at them coldly.
“Hey, please consider our position as well. We both have something to gain if we fight together. But right now, even if you take revenge on the Great Warrior or something, there’s nothing we can gain from it, right?”
He was a human knight with a sword.
The rough man held a strange fork-like spear, and although his speech was slurred, the prayers he let out were not much different from those of a great warrior.
Grandmaster Kiba frowned.
“Killing a great warrior means that he is a warrior of equal strength. There is no need for any other values when fighting a strong enemy.”
“Oh, I can’t understand you. We’re different from you. Fighting the strong? Of course it’s good. But this is what it takes.”
The man made a circle with his index finger and thumb, indicating that he needed money.
“Stop it, Slad. If someone defeated the Great Warrior, they must have something useful. They covered their tracks on their way here, but they were forming an army. They’ll probably have a lot of money for what you want.”
“Really? Then it doesn’t matter.”
“There’s a child, and I can sense a hint of magic. That means there’s a wizard. It means they can ask the chieftain for something useful.”
“Okay. Then let’s kill him right now.”
“He ran away in a hurry. It’ll take a while to catch up.”
“Three days is enough.”
Among the humans who were confidently beating their chests, the great warrior Kiba shook his head.
“The one who defeated Rakak is not there, but on top of the snowy mountain.”
“What? This isn’t it? This is…”
“Then what are these guys?”
“I guess they’re the private soldiers guarding the carriage. Then I’ll go this way. Take care of Seol-san.”
“Hey! Are you free to do whatever you want?”
“Unless it’s a crash, there’s no reason for anyone to listen to orders. And you too, right? Isn’t that right? Slad of the Muddy Water.”
Slad of the Muddy Water. There is a reason why he is called that. The veins on Slad’s forehead stood out.
“Do you want to die? Panirg.”
Panirg shrugged, adjusting his glasses.
“I’m not the only one who doesn’t want to move with you, you stupid bastard, even more than an orc. Orcs know at least honor… What the hell are you?”
“What do you want me to do with living like this? Yeah. You want to lose? I’ll kill you right now.”
Slad’s red spear spread its killing intent, ready to kill Panirg at any moment.
And that was when it happened.
Kukugugu-!!
“what?”
A huge earthquake occurred.
“Seo, Seol-san!”
“The snow mountain is collapsing!!”
“What the fuck!”
Both the orcs and the imperials jumped in surprise, but an avalanche soon covered them.
*
“Crazy! You should have told me this! Waaah!”
Inside the snow mountain, which was strangely thought to be high, lay the bones of an incredibly large giant. Conan’s axe was probably embedded in its skull, so no one could take it out. However, when Ronobe used magic to soften the giant’s bones and pulled them out in one go, the bones of the giant that had been offering up the snow mountain for a long time collapsed under the weight.
“Obel and Talik probably knew this.”
I still don’t know why Talik told me to pull out the axe.
Even while falling from the snowy mountain, Ronobe hesitated while holding the axe, then put it on his shoulder and looked around. Ronobe was not afraid of falling itself, since he could turn into a crow or a sparrow and fly away at any time.
Because the snow mountain was so high, it took a long time for it to fall.
“The axe! It’s been pulled out!”
“It’s collapsing! The snow mountain!! Wahahahahaha!”
“The little bird! Pulled out the axe! Hahaha!”
Barbarians, who were even more mute than the orcs, began to step on the falling rocks and run around to save the children. Although they were dumb in their speech, each and every one of them was an elite. It was clear that they were at least at the level of Red or White.
‘I understand why Lopin said he had to take the Barbarian with him.’
Certainly, the Barbarian is strong. His body is covered in colorful tattoos that shine and enhance his physical abilities.
“Is that a human baby or what…”
“Ronobe!”
Beni stepped on the falling rocks and hugged Ronobe. Soon Nasu came to his side, holding Ropin with one arm. The horse had come closer, but he was falling, so he had to think about what to do.
‘It doesn’t matter if I’m alone.’
I feel like I can survive even if I leave the egg.
The important thing is Beni…
“Nass. It’s a gift.”
“thank you.”
I gave him Conan’s axe. If you transform into a crow, you can fly easily, but you can’t take Benny with you. If you think about it, there’s no need to fly.
“Water-soaked thread. Parachute!”
By feeding it a full soul offering, he activates the water-soaked thread. Countless threads shoot out simultaneously from both of Ronobe’s hands and begin to connect as one. Some threads break due to air resistance while falling, but it’s mostly fine. This is because he’s strengthened by feeding it souls. If he entangles the threads with each other to create a parachute, they can all survive together.
“Catch me!”
My body, which was falling on a parachute that had been created in an instant, suddenly floated up!
Boom-! Kuuuung!
The snow mountain collapsed, sending up dust and snowflakes.
“Is it okay?”
“If it’s a Barbarian, then it’s okay. He jumps around like a frog…”
“It wasn’t a normal physical ability. They would probably be okay. But half of them would have survived.”
“That means half of them are dead…”
“Because the foundation of our lives has collapsed.”
“Is this also fate…”
Lopin laughed in vain.
Ronobe didn’t say anything in particular. It was because he felt like it was his fault that the mountain had collapsed.
‘No, I think it’s my fault.’
I felt a moment of guilt, but I also felt a sense of injustice. Who would have thought that such a huge bone would be buried in the snow-capped mountains?
“Whoa!”
A child screamed.
The Barbarian was rescuing the kids, but it seems he hasn’t found them.
“Damn it. Nas! Please take care of Benny!”
“Ronobe!”
He left the parachute to Nas and immediately transformed into a crow and flew away.
“No, slow down. Meteor flight!”
It was Victor’s meteor flight that he had received from a puppet show before. Ronobe, who had folded his wings and shot out like an arrow, caught the struggling Barbarian child.
“Bone soul lover!”
In an instant, the Golhonyu fish gathered together transformed into a gigantic creature and floated across the sky carrying Ronobe and the child.
“Brother! Thank you! Thank you!”
“Okay, just stay still.”
I didn’t know that you could use the Golhonyu language like this. Looking at the collapsing snow mountain and the barbarians coming down one by one to the ground, there aren’t that many of them. Some barbarians are coming out of the snow field with a woman or a child by their side.
Ronobe, who had landed on the ground in a state of despair, looked at the collapsed snow-capped mountain and the spectacular view below, feeling a sense of shame.
“What did I do…”
This is not the way it should be.
Benny and Nas are still parachuting down. They won’t be a problem, but the soldiers guarding the carriage will be a problem. If the mountain collapses, those below will also be in trouble.
Ronobe dropped the child off and immediately turned into a crow to search for the carriage. The snowy mountain had collapsed, causing an avalanche. Where the carriage would normally be, there was only snow.
“Aren’t they all dead?”
I started to worry that maybe he was buried in snow and died.
“If it’s a bear nose…”
Somewhere between the fallen trees, the scent of people begins to waft.
It was right below.
“Lee, Liam?! Peter?!”
That was when.
Phew-!
Something popped out.
It wasn’t a person. It was a red spear.
It was a sharp, fork-shaped spear with two impressive blades. It was a rare object to see, but it gave off a strange sense of magic.
“Wow!”
“Oh my god… what the hell is this suffering.”
The one who emerged from the snowfield was a knight in armor with slicked-back hair.
“What is this? A crow? It doesn’t look like just any crow…”
I have a good feeling.
Ronobe felt it too.
‘Minimum white.’
It’s a knight.
But he’s not a northerner.
The style of armor and clothing are different.
The accent is also a little different. This accent is similar to the wizard I saw before.
’empire.’
He is a knight of the empire.
The bastard must have sensed something because he immediately started poking the window.
“Hey, are you a crow? You’re not just a crow, are you?”
“Damn it! Slad! Get me out of here!”
“Oh, shit!”
He’s not the only one.
There were other imperial knights and what appeared to be wizards, and even orcs. They were all buried in snow, but none of them were seriously injured.
“There is even a great warrior in the article.”
I don’t know what it is, but it turned out well.
Hundreds of soul-formed golhonyu fish began to spray out from Ronobe’s body, which had spread its wings.
“It’s perfect for a revenge match.”
Knight? Great warrior? Ronobe wasn’t particularly afraid of fighting them. If he had something to protect, then maybe, but now, he was alone.
It’s so easy.
Because even if you just fly around and use the Soul Soul and Oil Painting, there’s nothing they can do.
“So what can you guys do?”
There is no knight who can fly in the sky.
The benefits of flying were greater than anyone could have imagined.
“But you, I don’t think so… Are you a subordinate of Fall or Ashes?”
When I asked, the knight’s eyes changed.
There was no need to hear the answer.
“asleep.”
Red mosquitoes flew out from Ronobe’s body, their fangs exposed.
