Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[Whispering]

“This is all I can give you right now .”

Hawkin took out a money bag and held it out to Daein.

Then he fell flat again and shouted.

“Wizard! Please help!”

Hawkin even threw away his pride and bowed down.

Is pride really that big of a deal?

Even if Master had seen it, he would have forgiven me.

Because what he has to protect is much more important than his pride.

The black-haired young man chuckled as if it was fun.

“Wizard? I?”

“That’s right!”

Hawkin answered confidently.

The carriage that appeared in the sky just now was a space movement magic, and

at a glance, it was clear that the unusual-looking steel carriage was an object imbued with magic.

Above all, that giant iron horse with glowing red eyes was clearly a creature created by magic.

‘This person must be a great wizard. That’s at a level I can’t even imagine!’

While Hawkin misunderstood, Daein opened the money bag he handed him.

The pocket was full of gold coins.

Sigh. A smile appeared on the great man’s lips.

‘It should be enough for one month’s travel expenses.’

I went to the city and brought some magic stones to exchange for money, but with this much money, I didn’t think there was a need to do so.

Hawkin, who found hope in that sight, shouted.

“Wizard! “If you take out those thieves, I will give you ten times that much!”

“10 times?”

As Daein responded enthusiastically, the thieves approaching the carriage were startled.

Even to the thieves, the carriage that suddenly fell from the sky and the person walking out of it were unusual.

“If it’s a real wizard…”

“Aren’t you touching me wrong for no reason?”

As the men hesitated, unable to approach, the leader of the bandits who was watching from behind shouted.

“You idiots! “Even so, it’s only one person!”

The bandit leader summoned all his men who had dispersed to the village. And they surrounded the carriage.

Because the person I was looking for after searching the village was right there.

The bandit leader took out a wanted poster from his pocket and compared it to Hawkin’s face.

Although they were clumsily disguised with beards, it was clear that it was the face they were after.

The bandit leader licked his lips with his tongue and laughed.

“You walked out on your own.”

I couldn’t see the others, but once I caught one and cut off a few of its fingers, I would soon find out.

“hey. Wizard.”

The bandit leader lightly raised his right hand while calling out to the great man. Then some of the thieves raised their crossbows and aimed them at Daein.

In that state, the bandit leader smiled wickedly and said.

“Let’s not do anything that hurts each other. huh?”

Even the bandit leader was reluctant to touch a wizard whose identity he did not know.

So he proposed an amicable compromise.

“Just take the bag you just received and get out of here quietly. I pretend not to know that much and turn a blind eye. But if you do something foolish… Hey!”

Instead of looking at him, the great man was busy counting the gold coins in his pocket that Hawkin had handed him.

“Twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight…”

The leader of the thieves shouted angrily when the other person did not even look at him.

“Can’t you hear me! “I told you to get out of there with that bag!”

“…Thirty two thirty three thirty four thirty five.”

After counting all the gold coins, the great man tied the bag again and put it in his arms.

He then spoke to Hawkin, who was looking at him with an anxious face.

“10 times that is 350 gold coins. Right?”

At that moment, Hawkin’s face brightened.

“yes! That’s right!”

The naive young man showed too many good things.

On the other hand, the young man, despite his worn appearance, knew how to negotiate.

“Then multiply it by 20. “700 gold coins for saving you and killing those bastards.”

“yes yes? “Suddenly…”

Daein shrugged his shoulders and said to Hawkin, who was puzzled.

“If you don’t like it, don’t.”

Even at this moment, the thieves were approaching.

Hawkin, who hesitated, closed his eyes tightly and shouted.

“I’ll give it to you! Please kill them all! “If you think about what those guys did…”

The great man nodded, putting the money bag into his arms.

“Received.”

The great man turned his head and looked at the thieves.

Dozens of bandits surrounded the carriage with their weapons pointed, and behind them, the bandit leader was seen yelling loudly while maintaining a safe distance.

“Damn it! “Bring the battle ogre!”

And behind that, I could see the outline of the entire village with villagers being held hostage and flames rising from all over the place.

Villagers were lying on the ground, covered in blood and tied to stakes or ropes.

“Ugh…”

“Please save me…”

The thieves seemed to be of all ages and genders. An old man stabbed by a sword, a woman trampled by a horse’s hoof, and children crying in his arms.

Among the villagers who fell to the ground, many were no longer breathing.

The great man frowned greatly and looked at the bandits who were narrowing the siege.

“Trash. I know what kind of village this is…”

To Daein, it was a village where he would stay overnight and find out various information,

a place he would have to return to in a month, and

a year later, it would be a place where Seoul and the gate would be connected.

In other words,

“This village must develop so that people can come and go here often, and only then will the price of my land rise quickly.”

Even if it was not Hawkin’s request, the great man had no intention of leaving these thieves alone.

Plus, I get to earn pocket money along with my job, so I kill two birds with one stone.

The bandit leader, who judged that the negotiations had gone awry, gave the order to attack first.

“Shoot! “Before he uses magic!”

Quarrels were fired simultaneously from a dozen crossbows. The great man waved his right hand lightly.

Ting ting ting ting-!

The translucent shield repelled all of the Quarrels. The great man smiled at the thieves and opened the carriage door.

“Kids. “Come out and see me.”

Lily and Jang Young-shin opened the carriage door and stuck their heads out.

When someone else came out of the carriage, the bandits, who were very nervous, laughed when they saw that the other person was a child.

“what?”

“What are you going to do with the kids?”

After a while, the kids caused the thieves to panic.

The great man entrusted each child with a task.

“Let’s turn off the fire first.”

“yes!”

At the man’s words, Lily raised her hand to the sky.

Then, all the flames that were burning the village began to be sucked into the girl’s hands.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The flame that was sucked into Lily’s hand soon shrunk to the size of a candy.

Sook.

Lily, who swallowed the flame candy in one bite, puffed out her cheeks and grumbled.

“This doesn’t taste good.”

There seemed to be degrees of fire taste.

Of course, regardless of the taste, the thieves who saw the scene were astonished.

“Crazy…”

“Is that kid a wizard too?”

The bandits finally began to feel that something was wrong.

But it’s already too late to back out.

The bandit leader shouted.

“Send out the battle ogre! A wizard is nothing without someone to protect him!”

A battle ogre that was enjoying a dinner in the middle of the square rushed to the carriage after receiving an order from its trainer.

Wow!

The battle ogres tamed by humans were armed with thick plate armor and large battle axes, and were almost at the level of war weapons.

In fact, it was the power of a single battle ogre that broke the wooden fence in this village and wiped out the vigilantes single-handedly.

“Smash it to pieces!”

The battle ogre was also the bandit leader’s confidence.

After spending all his money to buy a battle ogre, he became the leader of the largest bandit group in the area.

Wow!

Daein looked at the roaring battle ogre running towards him, then turned his head and called out to Jang Young-shin.

“Youngshin. “You clean that up.”

“…yes.”

Jang Young-shin nodded and climbed on the back of the iron golem that had turned into an iron horse.

As Jang Yeong-shin lightly stroked its back, the iron horse raised its front paw.

“…let’s go.”

As the iron horse rushed towards the battle ogre, it simultaneously wrapped around Jang Young-shin and transformed into an iron golem.

Clap, clap, clap!

Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The person who was more surprised by the transformation than anyone else was not the thieves, but Hawkin, who had a great man standing next to him.

“Go go go go golem? “What…!”

A magical weapon that shows enormous magical power and unimaginable technological prowess even at a glance.

Even in the capital of the empire, I had never seen a golem like that.

Wow!

The battle ogre roared and swung its ax at the iron golem.

Whoa!

The ax flew through the wind and hit the iron golem’s chest.

Wow!

The ax blade was broken, but not a single scratch was left on the iron golem’s chest.

Wow!!

Instead, the battle ogre stepped back, holding his arm as if in pain.

The iron golem caught up with him and grabbed both of his arms.

The golem’s eyes looked toward the square for a moment, then turned back to the ogre.

[…Do the same thing to me.]

The ogre’s log-sized arm was torn from its shoulder, and blood poured out like a fountain.

“Kwaaaaa!!”

The golem’s heavy feet landed on the face of the battle ogre, who was lying on the ground in pain.

-Kwazizig!

That was the end of it.

The monster that single-handedly broke down the village’s fence and wiped out the vigilante group was trampled to death like an ant by a more overwhelming monster.

Hawkin now looked at the Iron Golem, Lily, and the Great Man in turn with a mesmerized expression.

“Everyone, who exactly are you…”

It was then that Daein, who had been just watching with his arms crossed, stepped forward.

He said to the thieves:

“Do you have anything else to show me?”

“…….”

A golem that swallows flames and easily tears apart trained combat ogers.

Daein had not even lifted a finger yet.

It was probably a natural reaction for the bandits to lose their will to fight and run away.

“Aaaah!”

“Run!”

The bandits tried to get out of the village. But they had no choice but to stop midway.

Because a huge wall of flames rose up in front of them.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

“Good job.”

The great man stroked Lily’s head once and walked towards the confused thieves at a light pace, as if taking a walk.

Then he took out the sword from his waist and started swinging it lightly.

Wow! Wow!

With each light swing of the sword, the thieves fell to the ground one by one.

By cutting the throat, puncturing the heart, or splitting it vertically or horizontally.

There was no mercy. The great man increased the enemy’s corpses one by one with each sword.

But not a single drop of blood splattered on his clothes.

Hawkin and the surviving villagers looked on with blank faces.

Someone muttered this while watching the elegant sword dance that was at the same time indifferent.

“God has sent us a savior…”

The others also nodded blankly.

Once I thought about it that way, that huge chariot looked like God’s chariot, and the boy and girl seemed like God’s messengers.

It was then.

“Stop!”

The leader of the bandits was holding a knife to the village chief’s neck.

Daein clicked his tongue and said.

“It’s all different. “Is this a hostage situation now?”

As the great man walked forward without hesitation, the leader of the bandits gritted his teeth and shouted.

“If you come any closer, I will kill this old man!”

Sigh…

The blood that flowed from the village chief’s neck wetted the blade. Hawkin saw that and screamed.

“Please save the village chief! “That person is my benefactor!”

The great man stopped in place for a moment.

But it wasn’t because of Hawkin’s request. Rather, it was because the hostage was the village chief.

The great man scratched his chin as if he was embarrassed.

“Is that old man the village chief? “I have to ask you something…”

The leader of the bandits, who was elated by the response, shouted.

“Drop the knife! “If you want to save the village chief!”

“You bastard! “Better kill me!”

The strong village chief struggled and resisted harshly.

The bandit leader slightly removed the blade from his neck and shouted at the great man again.

“Throw away the knife now!”

The great man thought for a moment and then put the sword into its sheath.

That alone brought great relief to the face of the leader of the thieves.

He said, slowly backing away.

“Get rid of that wall of flames right away! And bring the horses! If you want to save the hostage, don’t move until I leave…”

At that time, Daein cut him off.

“I know it’s an honor for you.”

“what?”

At that moment, the great man’s appearance slowly dispersed like a mirage.

“What?!”

When the bandit leader’s eyes widened in confusion, a great man’s voice was heard in his ears.

“This is my first time using it in real life.”

If the martial arts people had seen it, they would have shouted “Lee Hyeong-hwanwi”.

To be exact, it was a new technique that was a mixture of [Stealth] and Breaking the Shinbo, but

“It doesn’t matter what happens, as long as the effect is good.” is not it?”

Those whispers were the last words the bandit leader heard while alive.

“Now wait a minute! You come with me…”

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

And quietly, Daein packed the wanted poster that was sticking out of the corpse’s pocket into his arms.
