Return of the Class 8 Mage
47.1. Pieric province (2)

"What is it?"

"Yes, there is no other road connecting to the empire except the great snake valley. Otherwise, they would have to climb mountains, but it would not be easy to move troops across mountains."

Mcgedie is already a loyal 'guide' of the province. Ian knew most of these facts, but there was some information he did not know, so he pretended to have never been to the province.

"So the trolls we saw yesterday must have crossed the mountains."

It was almost impossible to guard every side of the mountain from monsters. Furthermore, who would have thought they would attack the supply army? That's weird, indeed.

'The hobgoblins I saw earlier should only be seen in the vast grasslands.'

Ian recalled the incident in Mogrian Province. Did the hobgoblins cross these mountains like trolls?

'Maybe not.'

Ian had thought for a moment, but soon he shook his head. There is a possibility, but it is too low. It's pretty far from here to the north. Every monster that tried to cross that region must have been killed before it reached Mogrian Province.

"Also the Pieric landlords fought in the valley. He always fights on the front lines as a vanguard, which always scares us."

Mcgedie followed his explanation.

Young landlords, 'You Pieric.'

The man called, 'Best soldier from the eastern region.'

Ian had also spoken to him in his previous life.

'It's a big deal that the best soldiers are landlords.'

He always risked his life on the front lines. Although he did not have a reclaimer, he always fought recklessly. He was indeed a true warrior, but not a good leader when considering the future of the province.

"By the way, without your help, I must be in big trouble."

Indeed, he must be in big trouble.

Mcgedie's been done for only a year. However, in his previous life, Ian carried to this area. That was around the end of this year in his previous life. What does this mean? If Megedie survives the ambush, Ian will not be taken to the province.

"He must be dead, by the trolls."

In his previous life, Mcgedie had been killed, and there was a vacancy in the witch-led, so Ian had been taken to the Pieric Province.

"I thank you once again. I almost gave up my life. I heard that trolls eat human flesh, it's very scary....."

Mcgedie shook his body.

Ian looked at it for a moment.

She had a soft and white face, and a small body.

Also, he was wearing a robe that was too big for him.

'He costumed as a man'

Ian had known the secret for a long time. He had already checked the mission's brief information. There is information about witches being done as well.

"He must have had a hard time."

A witch has great authority. Also, they are quite strong. Hostile soldiers? If he wanted to, he could turn it into a barbeque that burned in a few seconds.

However,

"He has no social experience."

Most witches were summoned to the academy at the age of 12, and they lived in the socially isolated academy for 5 years. Hence, most of the new witches had no social experience. And this 5-year implementation system is designed to cover 5 years of their lost social life.

'He must have been under great pressure due to the state of this hostile province.'

It was the province where wars were most frequent among the empires.

He must be afraid of his dangerous atmosphere.

He was afraid further due to the characteristics of the shy.

'He must have changed his appearance and voice with a spell.'

Maybe that's why.

The reason he chose the costume as a man.

It was the 'best solution' based on his experience.

"I don't think that's a good choice."

For Ian, it was his fault. Although some soldiers might see it, he has a strong 'authority', and 'magic'. They cannot cross the line.

'Rather than a man,'

Rather than a weak and cowardly man, it would be a better choice for her to become a woman. At least he'll be treated well in the name of 'cream order for a woman'.

"Well, that's a big snake valley."

Mcgedie said while pointing forward.

From a distance, there was the largest frontline in the eastern region.

Ian could reach the point quickly if he had no friends to protect.

"Wait a minute, please."

Ian stopped the march and then soared into the sky. Then, he gathered the mana and released it to each side.

'Detecting.'

A magic that detects every living signal nearby.

Transparent waves spread over long distances.

It was a detection spell cast by Ian.

His range was much greater than that of other witches.

'No.'

There was no movement from other monsters.

After it was done detecting, Ian descended to the ground.

"I'll meet you there. There are no monsters near here, so don't worry."

Soldiers were embarrassed when they heard Ian leave them, and were relieved when they heard that there were no monsters nearby.

Only Mcgedie looked sad.

'That was a good moment ....'

Mcgedie is sad.

With Ian around, the soldiers also showed him respect.

He had not received such respect since he was taken to the province.

Her dream-like moments are over soon.

"See you."

Ian flew into the valley of the huge snake.

His mission was to 'resolve the eastern province's problems.'

By whatever means necessary, he was ordered to solve this problem.

Whether to kill every monster or find out the source of the problem and destroy it.

The valley was the debut stage of Ian Page's mission
