Return of the Class 8 Mage
12. Highly antithetical alchemists (1)
Highly Antithetic Alchemist (1)
After Ian was declared as ‘Tamu Abadi’ from Mogrian's house, the big landlord immediately arranged a convoy for Ian.
“I'm not sure if we are the right person to control it.”
There were about a total of twenty people in the squad, including veteran knight ‘Eric’, who went to the valley with Ian, and ‘Luca’, who called himself Spearmaster. They travel with him while looking after him and carrying out tasks.
“That's what I thought.”
Luca's soldiers answer to the veteran knights.
The two of them saw the freezing hell that Ian had created in the valley.
The landlord ordered them to protect him?
A random wolf spirit, passing through them, would laugh, if it saw this situation.
“Maybe, we're the ones being guarded..”.
“I agree.”
The convoy was formed with twenty people, the,
By following Ian, they head to the far end of the province, the village of Lloyd.
He was going to meet the alchemist that the merchant suggested.
“What do you think?”
Luca asked Ian who was walking in front of him.
Usually, people become afraid when facing witches.
Especially if they saw the scenery in the valley.
But this soldier, Luca, he doesn't seem to be afraid of Ian,
Whether he was facing a knight or a witch, he was a very friendly man.
‘Did he dare risk his life?’
As Ian saw, he could make a conclusion.
Soon, these warriors would be reprimanded by nobles or witches with bad temper.
“Is it still far from Lloyd village?”
“Yes? Ah, we'll be there soon. A little far, huh?”
Instead of answering, Ian changed the topic by asking him a question.
As Ian had intended, it seemed like Luca had forgotten the question he had asked earlier.
However, Luca felt different.
‘Hwoo! It makes me very nervous, indeed.’
With Ian's question, Luca calmed down.
To be honest, he was as afraid of Ian as the others.
That power was like a terrifying magic to the nobles.
How could he dare to face such a person so easily.
Moreover, he had not known her for long.
‘But I have to hold on. This is an opportunity. The only chance given to me.’
The reason that prompted him to dare to risk his life was ‘interview’.
An interview for his life purpose!.
‘When do I have a chance to talk to a witch?’
A dream he told his comrades whenever he had time.
Write a heroic chronicle after retirement!
Everyone laughed at his goal, but Luca was serious.
‘The Mage and The Spearmaster will be masterpieces!’
The power of the dream was great enough to change his life.
He always drinks every time he gets a day off.
Now, he learned writing skills whenever he had time.
Salaries that were once only spent on alcoholic beverages are now spent on paper, books, and ink.
‘Spirit! I can do that! There is no doubt! Go go go!’
With a small self-impulse, Luca gripped his spear firmly.
The team is now close to the village.
“You will see the village when you climb that hill.”
Veteran knight Eric said.
It was a very far away village, as if someone took it and kept it from the province.
He had only heard of it in his previous life, but had never been there.
‘Alchemist Ledio, right?’
Alchemists who came from the capital and lived in the village of Lloyd.
According to the merchant, he moved here to collect some certain herbs.
A herb that only grows in northern lands, Ian could list some such herbs.
‘In particular, a herb that cannot be found anywhere else is..’.
There is only one such potion.
Potions with bodies that were too weak to transport.
Potions with sensitive characteristics that cannot be cultivated as well.
“Randor.” Flowers
It was a rare potion, though,
But there is no known effect of it.
It was questionable whether it should even be referred to as a potion.
‘Maybe he is not an ordinary alchemist.’
He moved to the north side to gather such potions.
There may be two possibilities.
He knew the use, or was just curious about it.
‘Ee will see.’
After he climbed up the hill, he could see the village.
It was Lloyd's village.
“Hm?”
The village is in trouble.
The villagers were forced to gather in the middle, and there were men threatening the citizens with knives.
Even the soldiers stationed there were killed.
Surungs!
Veteran knight Eric drew his sword.
These people are thieves.
“Take these youngsters, we better go back now.”
“How about these chicks?”
“See their faces are stupid. Will anyone buy it?”
A sneaky voice.
It was a conversation between thieves who committed robbery and human trafficking.
“Hmm, but what a pity.”
“Let's sell these youngsters and move to Coldwood.” immediately
“Hehe! Yeah, the area has beautiful chicks. ”
There were five soldiers stationed and twelve boys who could fight.
However, there were twenty-one thieves.
It was a battle they could not win, compared to the number and combat experience of the thieves.
They were then attacked suddenly.
“Douglas!”
There are parents who are trying to stop their children from being taken away.
One of these parents was the alchemist, ‘Ledio.’
He desperately held his son, ‘Douglas.’
“Give me a boy !”
But it was a meaningless struggle.
This weak alchemist was not strong enough to hold his son back from the muscular thief.
“T...no! Not my son!”
“Diam.”
*hit! hit it! hit it!*
The thief kicked Ledio in the stomach many times.
“Hurkkkhhh!”
Ledio's eyes rolled with severe pain and he let out a death-like groan
“ this dying dare act against me?”
Before being kicked, Ledio's face had paled.
Furthermore, he was extremely thin, like a wooden stick.
It was clear that he was suffering from an unpleasant illness.
“Dad!”
His young son, Douglas, struggles to escape the clutches of the thief.
“Let me go! Let me go! Dad!”
“Huh, they both often nag.”
The thief said with annoyance.
He pulled a dagger from the scabbard on his thigh.
“Are you going to shut up if your father dies?”
“…..!”
With that threat, Douglas shut his mouth
“Say one more word, then let's see what I'll do.”
“Sniffing...!”
“Oh? Did I just hear something?”
The thief smiled sinisterly, revealing his dirty teeth.
He likes to steal money and has a girl..
But the most entertaining thing is this.
Killing, and playing around before killing.
Just like this time.
“You're crying, aren't you?”
“T...no....!”
“Wow, now you talk?”
He started teasing the boy.
“Tsk, the crazy man started it again.”
Even the other thieves looked at him uneasily.
When people get together, there is always at least one abnormal man.
“Solve quickly and bring the child!”
“Hehe! I know I know.”
The thief crouched down in front of Ledio, then said.
“Do not worry. I will sell it in a good place.”
He whispered while showing Douglas' face to Ledio.
“No…. Douglas…. Don't go...”
Even he could not control himself, he stretched out his arms, to grab his son.
“Bye.”
The thief took the knife upside down.
He's gonna stab the back of Ledio's neck.
He likes to cut people.
“D...father! DAD!”
While the boy was screaming in despair,
*Peeerrr!*
It was a strange sound.
Not the sound of something being pierced clearly, though,
There was also no sound of anything being destroyed.
There are several types of sounds that exist between them.
The voice came from the thief's head, while spreading his red blood everywhere.
“A... what is it? What happened?”
The thieves were panicking.
While looking around carefully, they reached out to the thief lying on the ground.
“Es...?”
It was ice, each side of which was sharpened, which pierced through the thief's head.
Well, rather, his head was blown off.
“A..where! Where it came from!”
The thieves looked around carefully, trying to find the source of the ice.
“T..there, there!”
One of the thieves found something.
He pointed to the side of the hill.
“T..the provincial army?”
The knights and soldiers rushed down beautifully.
That's all they can see.
Because they were panicking at the scene.
“A..why are they here!”
“Sial! Escape!”
Still, there was enough distance between them that they could run away from them.
That's the conclusion that thieves make.
They were sure about it without a doubt.
*Peeeeerk!*
Suddenly, another thief fell.
Again, it was ice.

*Peeeeerk!*
The ice came spontaneously.
It never missed once.
*Perrrk!*
They could not figure out, that the ice was coming from the top of the hill, even at the time they were dying on the ground.
