How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Episode 16

By the time the sun rises in mid-heaven.

Xian and Erze had already subdued three goblin colonies.

As a result, their bags contained over seventy magic stones.

No matter how small it was, it was quite heavy when this amount piled up.

“ha… … ha… … .”

Immediately after the third subjugation, Erze breathed heavily while wiping the sweat.

Unlike the first and second villages, which were successful in their own way, the third was a little difficult.

It was because the chieftain was a shaman who could make and blow fireballs.

Thanks to that, Cyan wasn’t properly attracted to Aggro like the previous time, so Erze had to deal with countless goblins.

“you… … are you all right… … ?”

Seeing Xian not breathing hard, Ergé asked.

Xian nodded.

“It’s still okay.”

“Very good stamina… … .”

She looked at Xian as if she was envious.

Although his stamina was better than Herzee’s, it wasn’t the only one.

‘This is enough. thanks.’

– Ugh.

It was because he was recovering little by little with Ravi’s power.

Perhaps it was because it was not at night, but her recovery power was weak, and it seemed that it was impossible to recover Herze, not herself.

Still, this was enough for now.

“Anyway, we caught on a lot, didn’t we? If this is enough, you will always be number one, right?”

“well. I don’t know yet.”

“I don’t think there is any team that caught more than us.”

Even if she has no practical experience, she can understand it.

It was absurd to rob three goblin colonies so quickly. A student like them.

“sorry. I wasn’t much help… … .”

“What did you do?”

“eww… … .”

Ergé was a little discouraged.

But it is unavoidable. because it was true

“If you’re really sorry, buy me some food later.”

“Is that all right?”

“okay.”

“Uh, but I don’t know what nobles often eat… … .”

“I eat anything.”

I didn’t learn how to cover food.

Seeing Xian answer calmly, Ergé’s eyes loosened a little.

Who would believe that this is an insane Xian rumored to be doing all sorts of assaults and drugs for women’s problems?

She, too, looked at Xian with that kind of gaze until yesterday.

However, as a result of being together, the rumors seemed to make no sense.

‘Are there more rumors going around because I’m the son of a prestigious family? Like the breath of rival families.’

For some reason, she imagined it, recalling a story that could only have been heard in a storybook.

The wariness she had when she first entered the forest had almost disappeared before she knew it.

“Let’s go.”

“huh.”

After a short break, the two set off again.

Deeper into the Great Hill.

In the meantime, in the middle of searching for traces of the next village.

“oh?”

“What, did you find it?”

“There is a team.”

Other students appeared in front of them at a place blocked by a cliff on one side.

8 people in total. They were strangely familiar faces.

‘They’re the ones who made the team before we started.’

The kids who seemed to be trying to team up and hunt together.

But the atmosphere was strange.

Upon discovering Xian and Ergé, the guys glanced at each other.

Doesn’t it then come with a rustling sound?

“… … .”

Xian’s expression hardened.

Eight students from Jakarta with beast ears and tails.

All of them didn’t pull it out, but they were ready to get their hands on the weapon right now.

Tsk.

Apparently, teaming up and hunting didn’t mean goblins.

“Are you on another team?”

Erjeman, not noticing the disturbing air, was looking at them with a tilt of his head.

Putting her aside for now, Xian drew his sword.

sereung.

Erze, who was next to her, trembled at the chilling sound, and the approaching students raised their lips.

“Looks like you’ve noticed a bit?”

“Sheesh. I thought it would be easier to go.”

“How are you? There are only two of them.”

While watching them muttering among themselves, Xian suddenly spoke.

“Do you think this is acceptable?”

“How are you? That Xian said something like that? He said he was a famous scumbag in Somer?”

“Looks like you’re scared too, keke.”

“Didn’t you hear the professor? Just bring a lot of magic stones. You don’t have to defeat goblins to get magic stones, so why bother following goblins?”

I once evaluated that they were trying to hunt with a team, saying ‘It’s a clever idea for a kid’, but it seems that even that was an underestimation.

It wasn’t to the extent of being clever, but it was no different from a robber.

The influence of the rough customs of Jakarta, also known as the mercenary kingdom… … Are you generalizing too much?

“Wrap around.”

Their leader, Levi Erman, beckoned, and the students began to embrace Xian and Hergé.

In an instant, the two of them had their backs to the hill and were surrounded.

“uh? uh?”

Herze was taken aback as he felt that something was going wrong.

Ignoring her, Liu talked to Xian with a smile.

“What if it doesn’t work? Isn’t it fine if you don’t get caught?”

“It’s fine if you don’t get caught… … .”

Xian grabbed the sword.

They didn’t rush even after seeing the weapon, probably already convinced of their absolute superiority.

“I don’t think it’ll be a problem if I’m not caught.”

Xian lightly swung his sword.

towards the bottom of nothing.

Tuduk.

“What are you doing? Do you have any rituals?”

Seeing that, Levi laughed.

Laughter spread among the students.

Amidst their ridicule, it was only Xian who knew the truth.

“Come.”

I just caught a ground mouse hiding in the ground with that sword attack. One of the familiars that a professor or teaching assistant would have planted.

There was nothing to shy away from now.

* * *

Liu was looking at Xian, who was standing with a sword, with a fishy smile.

What if I was number one? There are 8 people including myself here.

‘hmm.’

Come to think of it, there was another one over there.

Only then did he recall Ergé’s existence and looked at her crouching next to Xian.

‘Oh… … .’

his eyes lit up

I didn’t know her presence was so vague, but when I recognized it, it had a pretty cute impression.

Of course, as a nobleman in Jakarta, I can’t go around making scandals with women lightly, but it’s only minor happenings.

He spoke to her with a kind smile.

“You there. Come over here if you don’t want to get involved.”

“… … .”

But I’m the only one who thinks it’s warm. In Hergé’s eyes, he was nothing more than a robber or a bully.

She hid behind Xian’s arm so that she could cover herself slightly.

Then Levi’s eyebrows twitched.

“You don’t know who he is? I think even a freshman would have heard at least the rumors about Cyan Agrid.”

“Ji, now I’m on a team with Xian.”

Ergé answered with a slightly frightened tone, but without slurring his words.

At her words, Liu quickly crumpled his face.

“Sheesh. A year you can’t even tell the difference between heaven and earth.”

Seeing that expression, Erze was convinced.

Xian is 100 times more trustworthy than a man like that.

Knowing that he would not be able to break even if he talked further, Li Yu chinned the two of them.

“catch!”

With Lee Yue fiddling with the spear with sharp eyes one step away, the other seven students slowly approached Xian.

7 vs 2. If you look at the numbers, even if you run moderately, you will surely win.

They couldn’t downplay the number one ring in Xi’an.

Still, they have received an elite education, and they have experience of subjugating a goblin village together and working together.

One student winked at the others.

‘I go first.’

After confirming that his colleagues agreed, he clenched his fist.

Then he took a stance as if he was going to attack right away, and then he punched the ground.

coo-!

The ground shook violently as if it had been an earthquake, and an unnaturally thick cloud of dust rose.

In an instant, all sight in the area disappeared.

‘Even Agrid wouldn’t have known this!’

He jumped without hesitation into the blinding dust.

He was also blind, but he knew exactly where the two were.

He is walking on the ground barefoot.

Through the feet, the situation in the vicinity was transmitted like a wave.

‘here!’

Eventually, he reached the place where Xian was.

Until then, there has been no response from the opponent. Confident of victory, he threw out his fist.

however.

“… … uh?”

His vision was filled with gray pillars, not sand dust.

In an instant, his hair went white.

What is this?

– Wow!

When he realized that it was the side of his sword, he was already spreading across the ground and losing consciousness.

“Poetry, Xi’an. me too… … .”

In the midst of the hectic situation, Erze stood up resolutely. From the first real battle to the first battle with other students.

She took a step, holding back the trembling of her body.

“I’m out of here because it gets in the way.”

“Yes, four!”

Hearing Xian’s scary eyes, he quietly withdrew immediately.

Sian gently trampled the ground with the soles of his feet. Then.

[ Sangcheon Sword – Island ]

Fain!

A large gust of wind scattered the sand and dust all at once.

His model shot like an arrow hit the one in front.

“Cuck!”

Two guys with this.

Xian’s eyes scanned the location and arrangement of the remaining ones in an instant.

‘I have an idea.’

It wasn’t just standing there.

It showed the will to have an effective formation.

However, it was far from perfect enough to stop him.

he raised his head

In an instant, his eyes met with Levi’s behind him.

“No, stop it!”

Liu, who noticed the ominous feeling, shouted.

The students blocked his way and pointed their swords at Xian.

Chae Chae Chae!

Xian’s sword took a strange path and deflected all of their weapons.

Xian blocked five attacks with a single swing.

The students’ faces turned pale.

Now, with just this one match, the difference in skills between Xian and themselves was keenly felt.

Ignoring them, Xian clung to Li Yu.

When fighting multiple enemies, nothing is more important than targeting the pack leader.

“profit!”

Levi swung his spear.

Turning to avoid the rushing spear, Xian took one more step into the gap.

With that, the gap between the two has narrowed enough. The gap where the spear is at a disadvantage and the sword is at an advantage.

Xian, who took advantage of the distance, swung his sword mercilessly.

– Wow!

“Cuck!”

A sound resounded similar to the one when the first student was knocked out.

But unlike that student, Li Yu did not faint.

It was because Xian had placed it in his hand so he wouldn’t faint.

“Catch it!”

“Take it off!”

Half a beat late, the students rushed to catch the draft, but all to no avail.

Pak!

One guy got hit in the stomach by the hilt and still collapsed.

The other was caught by the scruff of the neck and thrown off a cliff.

cooong! The guy hit straight from the back and wriggled on the floor with a jolt.

Liu’s eyes trembled at the sight of his colleague falling out in an instant.

“sh*t!”

Liwi, crouching on the floor, reached out to catch the fallen spear.

However, Xian’s feet were faster.

Kang!

He kicked the window away.

Levi’s arm twitched greatly.

Took.

Xian touched Levi’s stomach with his foot.

It wasn’t just touched.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just like he did when he climbed the cliff in the special dungeon, he set up his mana like an awl and hit it precisely to stimulate Liu’s mana.

Under normal circumstances, something like this would not happen, but he is a beast.

The mana of a beastman with innate explosive power.

“Quaaa!”

Liu couldn’t push away Xian’s mana that touched it.

Thanks to this, mana exploded from all over the body, and the pain came up to the point where the eyes went round.

“What are you doing! Kill me quickly!”

“Uh-uh-huh!”

“hang on!”

The remaining three of Liu’s pained agbari rushed at Xian again.

But what failed with six could not succeed with three.

One fell out again, and now there are only two left.

“… … .”

Xian put down the drooling Liu for a moment and looked at the other two.

As he approached, the two students trembled and backed away.

One of them looked at Liu with a puzzled look.

From his point of view, Liu didn’t have the energy to care about this at all.

“Wait a minute! We couldn’t help it either! I had no choice but to do as I was told!”

The other guy also quickly caught the intention of that cry.

“So do i! I couldn’t help it because of circumstances!”

Xian stopped as he approached and stared at the two guys.

The two men hurriedly added their words, as if they thought that their words were being taken.

“Ooh, my father works at the Golden Gate… … !”

“You don’t know either. This floor is very narrow. I didn’t know what kind of disadvantage it would be if I didn’t listen!”

Xian nodded. The faces of the two boys brightened up.

But his words were not over.

“But you guys, why are you pretending to be the victim?”

At his words, the two boys blinked.

“uh?”

“what… … Is it a sound?”

“If I were weak, it would be me crawling on the floor.”

“Oh, no, that… … .”

“Didn’t you think that even if I protested later, it would be all right if I drove it to the level of an idiot?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

gulp.

The two guys swallowed.

what would you hide Exactly, they intended to do as Xian said.

Even if protests come in later, they will continue without knowing.

Watching the guys roll their eyes, Xian put the sword into the scabbard.

Then.

Fast-!

The two guys fainted one after another.

clean in one blow.

After that, Xian approached Liu again.

“Keuk… …ぅ… … .”

Only he could not faint and was suffering intactly.

Xian bent down and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up.

at that time.

―Coooung!

With the sound of the ground shaking, an uninvited guest appeared.

Xian turned around and narrowed his eyes.
