chapter 6
Episode 6 Useless.
Lisa also reacts by dropping her shoulders at Balt’s words.
“Haa… i’m stupid… You left your money bag… If that’s the case, just go back….”
Then I asked Balt if he had thought of something.
“What are you going to do with Balt? Apparently, you didn’t intend to use the teleport in the first place….”
Balt still twitched his muscles and pondered.
He’s just breathing with his arms crossed, but it seems like he’s showing off his muscles.
“Hmm… If I can’t teleport, I’ll have to go on foot.”
“That, that street? Even if we go quickly, it would take more than a month?”
‘Even if I go quickly, it’s more than a month… ….’
But there is no other room. He has already wasted over 5 days.
The time of 60 days may be tight.
I can’t go back like this. Balt just decides to find out the way to the academy from here and set off.
“I still have to go. What are you going to do?”
Lisa answers Balt’s question.
“Can you take me too!?”
Lisa’s commitment to the academy was great.
If I go home now, I don’t know when I can come out of the manor.
I would have to live quietly in the manor, marry the fiance chosen by my father, and live a life as an aristocratic wife.
Lisa didn’t like that. At least, it was an academy that was finally allowed because he had a talent for swordsmanship.
I couldn’t give up at this point.
This is probably your last chance to change your life.
And besides, this savage called Balt is incredibly strong.
He has never seen his skills properly.
I tossed the Claw Bear, which was said to be quite dangerous in the forest, into the air with one hand.
If Lisa dealt with you, you may have to risk his life.
The bear fell off his head and died instantly, and became good food for Balt and Lisa.
I thought that if it was a journey with Balt, even Lisa would be able to reach the academy safely.
Bald is troubled by Lisa’s request.
‘Hmm… Is he going to help….’
This is the border area between barbarians and central people. So, the central people here are used to barbarians.
In addition, for the past ten years, the Central Continent has been peaceful, with barbarians fighting among themselves.
That’s why the perception of barbarians is at least okay.
It was the same when I entered the castle.
Soldiers say, ‘Oh! Barbarian! They even welcomed them saying, “Welcome!
But what if we move more and more to the center?
The image of barbarians is strong as plunderers.
It would be natural for people who have not encountered it in person to avoid or be scared after only hearing rumors.
Bald, who has finished thinking up to that point, tells Lisa.
“How can you be of any help?”
First of all, it is not a rejection.
At Balt’s words, Lisa thought about what she could do.
Cooking? Balt did it all.
Hunting? Balt did it all.
Directions? Got caught
‘What! Was I so incompetent? There’s nothing I can do!?’
Lisa became desperate and started to say anything.
“I-I’ll be pretty useful too! I’ve found a way and I know how to wield a sword quite well!”
But Balt’s expression is calm.
“Me! That! Because Balt is a barbarian after all! I’ll be better at dealing with people too! I’m good at running errands too!”
Now Balt is about to yawn.
“And! Also! Okay! Besides that swordsmanship, I know how to do endowment magic!”
Even if he didn’t speak so eloquently, Balt was going to take Lisa with him.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a horse companion on a long journey?
Even so, the errands were a bit cute.
But what Balt was surprised about was something else.
“Magic? You know how to use magic?”
Lisa is from a swordsman family. Balt rolled his brain with all his game knowledge.
‘Valentine! Magic Sword Valentine! Okay! I just remembered that the Valentine family is famous for their magic swords!’
The Valentine family uses unusual swordsmanship.
Cope with various situations with an attribute sword using bestowal magic.
It can be seen as a magic swordsman, but it is slightly different from that. No right?
The magic sword, which combines Aura and enchantment magic, is a method of ascending that can be compared to Valentine’s family swordsmanship with an Aura that is one level higher.
That is possible because of the Valentine’s family’s unique aura management method.
Usually, if you use the floor and the circle together, there will be a conflict, but Valentine’s swordsmanship has a form of operation in which the circle assists the aura floor.
Theoretically, it is the ultimate swordsmanship that can reach 9 floors and 9 circles.
But, of course, that was impossible. Even the head of the family, Count Valentine, who was said to be the greatest genius of the century, all he had to do was reach the level of the 3rd circle on the 7th floor.
Although Balt didn’t know such details, Lisa’s value skyrocketed with just one enchantment magic.
“Yes! It’s a simple grant magic, but it can be used! Shall I show you!?”
When Balt shows interest, Lisa, who is excited for some reason, even shows a demonstration.
Curious, Balt nods his head.
“Let’s see.”
Then Lisa pulls a knife from her waist.
“Now, take a good look! Endure sharpness!”
Then, a little magic flowed from Lisa and wrapped around her sword.
“Bo, have you seen it? It got sharper!?”
What the hell are you looking for…….
I can’t see anything like sharpness.
Anyway, it’s Balt who thinks that Lisa is a bit stupid.
“Aside from that, what are the attributes like fire, ice, and wind?”
Lisa still seems to know how to do something.
“Yes, of course!! Indufire!”
With the chant, a very faint fire rises from Lisa’s sword. It is the same size as when the gas stove is set to the lowest setting.
Lisa hesitates as her face turns red.
“I-I’m still only in the 1st circle….”
Still, it is true that it becomes clear.
Curiosity aroused Balt put his hand on the sword.
Lisa, who saw that, shouted.
“Huh? If you touch that!?”
Tup!
I held it with a black hand, but the feeling of Balt is just warm.
“It would be perfect to use when sleeping on the street.”
A panicked Lisa shouts.
“Isn’t that so!? That’s right, it’s fire! It must be hot!?”
Then Lisa looked around, picked up a fallen leaf, and put it on her sword.
Hwaruk-
I guess fire is fire. But weak is weak. It took a long time for the leaves to catch fire.
“Hmm. Still, the magic is certain.”
Lisa was delighted with Balt’s recognition.
“Yeah, right? Than this looks….”
“Can you teach me that?”
“Yes?”
No matter how ignorant Lisa is, she knows that barbarians don’t learn magic.
If you have an enormous body that overwhelms magic, what reason is there to learn magic?
Besides, it is also common knowledge that barbarians have no magical talent at all.
“Magic?”
“Yes.”
Lisa asked him again, tilting his head.
“It’s not swordsmanship, it’s magic, right?”
“Yes.”
In that case, there is no reason not to teach it. The vision of the Valentine family is swordsmanship, not magic.
To be honest, this level of enchantment magic can be learned even at the academy.
“Gwa, are you okay?”
Bald, who noticed Lisa’s meaning, replied with a smile.
“I will take care of it, so you just have to teach me.”
“Okay. I will teach you.”
***
I plan to rest here for about a day and then set off right away.
Balt and Lisa found a cheap inn and headed straight to the mercenary guild.
It would be nice to just leave, but having an escort mission on the way would be a financial gain.
It was a plan to kill three birds with one stone, saving meals, earning money, and moving around.
Kikki-
The wooden door of the mercenary guild opens and the huge Balt and Lisa appear.
After stopping by the inn and tidying up her appearance, Lisa went back to being a cute little girl.
A beautiful girl and a young lady of nobles captured by beasts or barbarians.
When Balt was discovered, everyone in the mercenary guild became nervous.
Some guys even put their hands on the hilt.
Kung-
Kung-
Kung-
With unstoppable steps, Balt’s mouth opens in front of the Mercenary Guild’s staff.
“I came to register as a mercenary.”
“Whoa….”
Only then, a sigh of relief bursts out here and there, and the tension within the mercenary guild is relieved.
Keep talking about what people are doing.
A female employee who was overwhelmed by the Baltic atmosphere only then opens her mouth and guides.
“Oh, welcome. Yo, will you register as a mercenary?”
“Yes.”
At that time, Lisa, who was next to me, also stepped out.
“Sister! Me too! I will join you!”
Going around with Lisa definitely works. When she steps in, her mood brightens dramatically.
The fact that Balt, who has such a terrifying build, was hanging out with a girl who was only about 160 cm tall, gave people a sense of relief.
“Then, my name and origin….”
Balt and Lisa, who registered as mercenaries and received temporary mercenary cards, search the request board to see if there is an escort mission.
There are probably many.
The south, which needs a lot of supplies because it is attached to barbarians, is a regular destination for merchants.
This is because cheap goods from the central continent can be sold at high prices in the south, and if you bring special products from the south to the center and sell them, there will be a lot of profit.
For this reason, escort requests from merchants are non-stop.
Lisa, who was looking around the request in detail, said while holding a request with her hand.
“This! Balt! This is it! So good! With this, can we go soon?”
It is a journey from Leicester Castle to Orgin, and to the capital of Duron Kingdom, which borders the Halkin Empire.
It’s a quest that’s perfect for Valt and Lisa, which takes about 30 days.
In addition, since it is a long journey, the pay is quite high.
At this level of compensation? Combined with the money Balt currently has, it would be possible to teleport from the capital of Duron Kingdom to the academy.
It is possible because the distance is getting closer. If it’s not enough, you can go to the Halkin Empire and walk a little further.
Balt grinned at Lisa’s words.
“Okay, let’s go and apply for a quest right away.”
