Marquis' Express Butler

The journey to the commercial city of Barista was a series of tensions.

The Blacks have retreated, but we don't know when or where they'll come from. We ran as high as we could.

Suddenly I remember what Chris said.

Uncertainty.

It was driving us into extreme tension. The enemy has one of two options. Revenge or diving.

Thanks to this, not a single one of the monsters, bandits, and others who appeared without understanding the atmosphere were unable to return alive.

This time, a group of Goblins ambushed us.

They didn't need to know their intentions in the first place, so they got rid of them.

“Don't you have anything to pack? ”

I glanced at the fallen Goblin with green blood.

The other day, when I was dealing with Goblins to experiment with penetration options, I thought I might not be able to get the byproducts from the corpse. I didn't have the knowledge then, but now I have Chris.

Chris didn't even look at the bodies of the Goblins. He wipes the blood off his sword.

“It's not that the Goblin by-products are useless, but we're not desperate enough to take care of them right now. And quite a bit of loot. ”

It's true that there was a lot of loot. Especially from the bandits.

We were poorly armed, kind of rich favors to them. That's why it hit us so easily, but it only drove us into the underworld.

“What I want is a byproduct. I'm going to hunt monsters.If I can't figure out where I need them, why not? ”

“Let me introduce you to a good book as soon as I get back to Adeline. I have a good sense for training mercenaries. I don't know what monster you're hunting, but it'll help. ”

“Exactly. ”

Using Mana will help you remember, so you'll only have to read it once.

“Looks like there aren't any left. Let's get going. ”

Regardless, we showed no mercy to our foes. I'm busy on my way, but it's a waste to keep asking questions like that.

So we accelerated to the commercial city of Barista.

After a short forest, the flatlands return.

This time, the excessive forest did not even see the shadow of the enemy as Chris had expected. It seemed to have retreated to a considerable distance.

However, when I felt a suspicious area or an unexpected direction, I had to search.

We had a few more days to get to Barista, and we had no income.

Chris slows down slowly. And he cried out.

“I'm tired of talking. Let's take a break. We should get some shut-eye and get out of here by dawn. ”

Without question, we immediately went into camp preparations.

Arthurs is in charge of preparing.

Camping is one of the specialties of knights. We didn't just need firewood to avoid campfires, we had to work in parallel to find safe places, identify strategic terrain such as retreat, etc.

Soon Arthur has found the right terrain.

“This way, I think. The cover is okay and retreat will be easy to secure. ”

It was the site of a massive rock, and I decided to take a break as I turned back.

And you set a simple trap around the rock in case of an enemy attack. It was a device that rang when stepped on or caught.

While Arthurs was working hard, Eluna prepared something to eat.

I had nothing to do with the horse.

I once learned how to use Mana to loosen a bundle of muscles, but I used it to take care of the horses for better riding.

“Good, right? My brother worked hard on his training. It'll be cool. Take good care of him tomorrow. ”

I sweep the horse's entire body with Mana's possessed hands, raising the heat to recovery.

After completing Mana therapy, I washed my hands in a flowing stream and returned to the camp.

A short distance away, Chris looks down at the map, relying on the light.

“What do you think?”

“About halfway there. I'm not moving any slower than I thought. The base is going to bring a wagon, so it should be just like us. ”

“I'm glad you're unhappy. ”

“What could possibly be unfortunate? Anyway, the first battle was decorated with victory. ”

I laughed bloody. I don't know if you're trying to be positive or you're trying to empower me. Maybe he's being sarcastic.

“Who was it that nagged you about showing me the cards you were holding? ”

“That's true. At least if you think of me as a bookkeeper, I want you to ask me for my opinion once before you act. ”

“I don't have time to ask in battle. You have to decide for yourself.”

Chris with his tongue back on the map. He looks at the surrounding terrain, confirms our position, and considers the time to move forward.

“Without variables, we'll be in Barista in two days. ”

“Everything is going according to plan. Training?”

“I'm working hard. I had some accomplishments. ”

“Can I take a look? ”

Chris nods and reaches out. I spilled my mana on his pulse.

Chris' Mana circuits are based on my Mana. So I did not have any objection to accepting my mana.

I was a little surprised.

If the old Mana circuit was as thick as hair, it would now be strong as thick wool.

“When did you expand the circuit like this? ”

“If you're not a normal person, you're a former wizard, and you're not faster than everyone else, that's kind of weird. I have my own Mana training. Recovering is only a matter of time. ”

“Is that so? That's good. ”

I took my hands off, and Chris got up from his seat. Popular. Arthur turns his head and walks into the camp.

His hands are full of firewood.

Arthur builds firewood just beneath the rock, pulling out the ignition gear and lighting it with difficulty. I don't know how long he's going to keep the fire going. I think I need your help.

“Apprentice. So I'm going to light a fire for some time. Step back!”

I have a Demibeast.

You can light a fire with Flint's magic, but there's nothing like fire magic to light a campfire.

Hwa-oh!

Immediately, the Demibeast is completed, and the surroundings are illuminated and a ball of fire rises.

I move the fire with my hands and set it on fire.

Unlike Flint's magic, fire magic is powerful. It is not the same as transferring a fire to a conventional ignition device.

Above all, like controlling the gas, it is advantageous to be able to control the amount of Mana and build a fire.

I spilled more Mana, and the dry wood began to burn fiercely.

Arthurs shoves the rest of the firewood in a blurry expression.

“That's convenient. It's the magic. ”

“I'm sorry I keep telling you this, but you can't tell anyone that I'm Mana User. Okay?"

“If you don't believe me, why did you say it? You should have kept it a secret for the rest of your life. ”

“We trusted him because he was our friend. ”

Arthur's jaw rises in anxiety as he says he's a friend.

“Sir Dylan. May I give you some advice? And then you get beaten up pretty hard. There's a saying that you have to first question the people closest to you. Hahahaha.”

“Good catch. ”

I sighed and threw the firewood into the fire.

Seeing Arthurs giggling and smiling, he seems to be caught up in a heavy weakness. Well, it's a good thing there's one thing that can beat me. That way the relationship is fair.

“Are you hungry? I'll make dinner. ”

“Yes, please. ”

Eluna poured water and dry dry dry water into the pot, adding dried vegetables and other ingredients.

The water boiled quickly because the firepower was quite strong. Soon, the smell of collecting began to vibrate.

“Aren't the monsters coming? ”

“Monsters smell meat. They don't come to eat pork rinds like this. And basically, you're afraid of fire, so you won't be able to get close. ”

“You're denying Eluna's devotion to killing pigs. ”

Arthurs flinches at my words and shakes his hand at Eluna.

“Don't get me wrong, it's not like that. Miss Eluna.”

“It's okay. You just have to taste the pork rinds, right? ”

Arthur's face turns white. It was Eluna with the back end of her sphincter.

After a while, we gathered at the bonfire and had a delicious dinner prepared by Eluna. My stomach feels a little tired and relaxed.

While resting, leaning against the rock, sweeping his stomach, I saw Chris sitting on one side, twisting his diaphragm.

“Training time. ”

I just got up and approached him.

I felt a gentle Mana wave, and I put my hands on his back and spilled my mana.

The waves of Mana emanate from Chris' body suddenly rush to the grain, and they thump violently.

This will improve his training effect by more than twice. I'll clear a path for you.

“Why don't you get some shut-eye? Thank you for your help, but you must be tired from the Mana exhaustion. ”

“What's best friend? You must be tired, even if you're tired. ”

“That doesn't suit you. ”

“What suits me? ”

“Opportunist.”

“Hahahaha.”

I couldn't argue with him, but I was wrong. Sometimes it's selfish.

Anyway, we continued our training together, and my innocent Mana was a great help in making his manatee healthy.

“Phew……. ”

I wonder if he invested an hour in court. Chris breathes slowly as he cradles the flow of Mana as he stretches out to all directions. Soon he opened his eyes.

“What do you think?”

“Of course I'm better. ”

Chris's expression became lighter. Blurry confidence can now be noticeable.

“When can I use magic? ”

“You're healing faster than I thought, so I should be able to do it right before I get to Adeline. I think I can still use simple magic. ”

“What exactly is simple magic? ”

I asked, and Chris suddenly reached out.

“Sword, give me that. ”

I gave it to him to unseal the sword. Kris draws his sword with a screech. Shortly after, he begins to make a Demibeast.

Glug glug!

As the Demibeast finishes, a red flame sets in. The flame disappears, with a subtle red glow wrapped around it.

The meaning of the phenomenon is clear.

Chris's flame was engraved on the sword.

“Enchantments.”

“That's right. I don't use Mana much now, so it should be less effective, but it's better than nothing." You've mastered the art of fire magic, so there should be synergy. ”

“Wait a minute. I've got a magic sword. ”

“Once you level up your Enchantment Magic level, you can permanently attribute it, and that's the final step in making the Magic Sword. If I regain my full strength, I can grant you permanent attributes. ”

“Heal quickly. ”

I knocked him on the shoulder with all my heart, and Chris laughed as if he didn't like it. I felt that I was tied to him in a bond.

Then an unexpected word popped out of his mouth.

“But don't you want to know why I entered the tower and got kicked out? ”
