I was born as a Son of Villain

Fei moves his feet diligently. I was out of breath, but I was holding my breath. If a wolf is corrupt in exchange for crossing the Heavenly Mountains, it's a charm. If it wasn't a safe path, you wouldn't have made it here in five days.

The Heavenly Mountains, which cannot reach human footprints, naturally became the home for animals' lives, including Legendary Beasts and Horses.

Lina, who was tired, was in Lyra's arms. Mother is a martial arts master, so it's okay. It was my father who was worried. Pei examines Florence. He looked a little bad, but there didn't seem to be any problem.

I was constantly using various scrolls, and I was afraid to ask the price of how many scrolls I had prepared for today.

“Right and back! ”

“I'm coming! ”

“Leave it to me. ”

The protruding mercenaries hand the corrupt wolf over to one sword. They were Gorgo Gorn mercenaries, not all of them ordinary. Among them, Fei cared about a man. The old mercenary who introduced himself to Hall was as good as the military.

“Kid, how are you holding up? ”

The mercenary commander approached Fei and asked. You're worried about me being the youngest. Fei nods.

“Three to four hours should do it. ”

The mercenary commander shakes his head.

“I've heard that Chancellor gave birth to a monster, not a human. This is a real monster. No one here could have built an altar like that at your age. ”

The man who praised Fei then encouraged the mercenaries.

“You can't lose to a kid! The wolf is a long way off. We're on our way!”

“Ow!”

Hall approaches Pei, who resumes his stop and quietly climbs the mountain.

“Kid, are you okay? ”

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

Fei replies, trying desperately to get along with Hall while climbing the mountain. The effort was fruitful, and Hall was caring about Fei well. I still don't remember who Hall was.

“Excellent practice and good muscle tone. Do you see any walls? ”

Hall's eyes pierce Pei's body. both the level of refinement and the proximity of Pei to the wall.

“No, not yet. ”

The foggy wall was unclear about its existence. It seemed to become clearer over time, but it was also unclear.

“The way you look at the wall is different for everyone. It could be your wall that's uncertain. If we're serious, we'll be working hard soon. ”

Hall strokes Pei's head once and quietly climbs back up the mountain.

The wolf was tenacious, and there were many. That's five times what the mercenary commander said. You defeated over 500 wolves in four days. If you go back the way you came, that path will be filled with corrupt corpses.

“It's really over, isn't it? ”

“Don't be an asshole. Then it comes out again. ”

Someone mutters, as I've heard many times. Every time, another wolf came out, and the mercenary beside him immediately struck.

“Mad bear with red eyes. ”

“That's much better than a wolf. Just give me a hand. I'll chop it up in three minutes. ”

At the words of the mercenary commander, three other mercenaries step forward. After a pause, you hear a thunderstorm in front of you, and three of the mercenaries return, sweating. The 23 mercenaries each hunt for horses that control their pace and block their path.

It was surprisingly fast, but the wolf caught the ankle. I had no choice but to delay time.

Day 10 of the climb. All that was left was the descent. Everyone was relieved that the schedule had been delayed for a day, but there had been no corrupt wolves since yesterday. So I didn't think. The pursuit.

Only a few miles to the destination. Two men fall in front of Florence on her final break.

Only two mercenaries responded. Hall and the mercenary commander. They pointed their weapons at two men in green.

“From Duke Barpacho. ”

The man said.

“Withdraw your weapon. They're on our side. ”

At Florence's word, two men draw their weapons. The men were Faye's familiar faces. They were the two people I introduced before I left.

“The Knights have followed you. Two hours away. At this rate, they'll catch up to us before we go down the mountain. ”

“Are you sure?”

“Named after the Black Brotherhood. ”

Everyone was surprised when the name of the Black Brotherhood appeared. The mercenary commander grimaced his face and said.

“If you were sane, you wouldn't impersonate the Black Brotherhood as a joke. What are their numbers?”

“Fifty. A hybrid group of shadows and imperial knights. ”

“Shadow and imperial? This is crazy.......”

The mercenary commander scratches his head and turns his gaze at Florence. Then he smiled and said confidently.

“Your Excellency, I told you, none of this is going to work. ”

“Are you okay? ”

“We're not here at a slow pace, so they're probably more tired, and that's worth a try. We just have to get down here and sail away. ”

Along the way down the mountain, there is a cliff, and a boat waiting beneath the cliff. The plan is to take the ship to the Free Trade City Valley. At this point only Florence and Feynman knew that Ballon was the destination.

The Mercenary Captain asked the men of the Black Brotherhood.

“The Black Brothers. They must be tired. ”

“Precisely.”

“On the other hand, this is just resting. It's as simple as making time by pushing the numbers. One more thing. Will you help me? ”

“That's what I'm here for. ”

The mercenary commander turns to Florence again.

“You can rest easy. Tactically, we have the upper hand. ”

“I'll believe you. ”

The two men from the Black Brotherhood are hidden again, and rest time has passed. The group moves back.

“The purpose is not to confront. Or at least we can get the employer on board and buy ourselves some time! Move!”

Everyone's footsteps were swift. I also contributed to the ease of walking because it was a way down.

Fei breathes. My parents didn't look so good either. Not only was she carrying Lina, but my father was short of breath.

‘I'm glad the mercenaries are so talented. ’

Unlike coarse and harsh words, their actions were very delicate. In addition to going ahead and processing the water, Pei and his family made it easy to walk by clearing the grass and branches. Without them, it would not have been possible to cross the heavenly mountains in ten days.

“It's chaotic back there. Stay close to me, kid. ”

Hall approaches Fei. He stares straight at you with a united face. Pei was able to see what Hall meant a little later. Behind you, you hear strong compassion and the cries of the animals.

The sound is getting closer.

“Young master, if you do, do as the old man says. ”

Linda was limping with sweat. Her shiny blue hair was also dull. Compared to the mercenaries hired here, she was a little slumped. She wasn't armed with artifacts like Fei.

“I trust no one but you. ”

“I'm glad you're joking. Believe me at night. ”

“I don't like that. ”

“You two have a good relationship. ”

When Hall saw the two jokers, he said: He was smiling happily. It was similar to the face of my granddaughter and grandson looking at the bickering. Did you know they're boys trying to protect their true thieves and their alliances? I'm as old as my son and mother.

Everyone knows that the sound from behind is getting closer. At last, the sound is so close that even the commoner Florence can hear it. The sound of falling trees, the sound of birds flying, and the cries of animals and beasts creep me out.

In front of you is a bright light beyond the darkness of the forest.

“Run faster! ”

The mercenary commander took care of everyone. However, the visible light was too far away. I felt like I could reach my hand and see the horizon that I couldn't reach.

Arrows and throwing stars fly over the mercenaries behind you. The mercenary commander exclaims.

“Under control! You bastards! Why are you moving so fast? ”

The heavenly mountain ranges are the kingdom of animals and water. If we make a fuss, they'll have to come around. But as the beast screams, the pursuers approach. The mercenary commander was also a strange thing to understand.

The mercenary commander has stopped in his place. Then I started running backwards.

“We stick to the plan! Hold them off! The client and his family come first! ”

Starting with him, more than half of the mercenaries remain in place. A wizard put a buff on Faye and her family.

Fei felt his body lighten.

“I hope you don't mind. I didn't have time to give you time to adjust my condition. ”

The wizard turns around and shoots a huge ball of fire toward the back. A flying flame ignites the trees of the forest, creating a massive explosion.

“Go! Go! ”

“Thank you.”

“Then give me a nice bonus. ”

“Survive!”

Florence shreds a few scrolls at once. He gives Fei and Lyra a scroll. An unusual scroll tied to a golden thread.

“Tear it up, and you will pay the price. ”

Faye and Lyra tore the scroll. The magic contained in the scroll wraps around Fei's body and disappears. The effects of the scroll merge with the magic cast by the wizard, making your body feel like it's flying away.

“Let's go.”

Florence starts running, and Fei and Lyra follow. Fei couldn't rest his mind, even though he got on the boat at full speed. I keep worrying about the back. Lyra, who had lined up Lina, told Fei:

“It's going to be okay. They're people who move with money. If I wanted to die, I wouldn't have accepted it. ”

“I know, but it's not good. ”

They wouldn't accept the quest if they were going to die like mercenaries. But I was also not at ease. Apart from them, the Bonegars in Ade have faded faces as well as the servants and knights guarding Sebastian and his mansion. Servants in a mansion in the capital city.

Everyone knows it's dangerous. But selfishly, Fei was worried about mercenaries who might die behind his back.

I felt like I was turning my back on all the people who were going to die because I was invisible.

Leia, like her mother, sees some of Fei's concerns.

“It's also true that being on the high ground carries a lot of weight. You don't have to carry it all. ”

“Isn't that too irresponsible? ”

“Being irresponsible is better than being held accountable. Some people are born wanting to be born as nobles. ”

Fei smiles at Lyra's irresponsible words. In a way, it was also true. I wasn't born a nobleman because I wanted to be born. Some may curse the nobles' lives for their complaints. This is how Fei will return them.

When I was born, would you like to read it to Mills?

“Still, don't forget completely. You can't be that pathetic, can you? ”

“Yes, I will. ”

Fei nods. It is also wrong to forget everything, even if not all of them are burdened. At least inscribe on your heart that someone died for me.

“That's enough. Let's go quickly.”

The light was getting closer. Behind you, you hear an army of weapons and the noise that magic makes.

Escape. Goddamn empire, hello!
