The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years

57/156

Frey called Gisellan aside and asked for one favor. Gisellan swept his chin and said,

“Hmm. Camouflage? ”

“Yes. Pilate is the realm of the Blake family. Did you hear about Isaca Blake? ”

“Yes, there's a very high probability of being associated with demigad. ”

“That's right. And he's after me now. The Blake family is a place to be heard someday, but it's premature now. I'd like to avoid conflicts, if possible. ”

“I see. ”

Clearly, Fray's gray hair is so noticeable that it is a rare color even on the continent. If you wander around Pilot like that, you will enter Isaiah's ear in less than a day, and there will be an obvious commotion.

“You can change your appearance with magic. But there's nothing to prove your identity. ”

You need something to prove yourself to travel around the continent. All Frey had was a cadaver from the Westroad Academy. That is not enough. For the time being, I needed a camouflage because I wanted to hide Frey Blake.

Gisellan opened his mouth as he pondered.

“Anor Ajeg, there must be a means. He has frequent overseas missions from time to time, so if he's a camouflage, he'll have a few. ”

After a while, Giselan brought Ajeg. I immediately came to the conclusion that I heard from Gisellan.

“I have something that might help. ”

Speaking of which, I give one hand. An old paddle that appears to be made of bronze.

“Class C mercenary. The user's name is Cain Rigstone. She is twenty-six years old and lives in the town of Temigoe, at the southern end. The Mercenary Guild has identified you as a 3-Star Wizard, but it doesn't matter if you update your rank after taking the promotion test directly from them. ”

“Can you tell me more about impressionism? ”

“Absolutely. You'd better memorize everything I'm talking about from now on. ”

A.J. started talking about Cain Rixton's human resources. Especially when it comes to looking. You should refer to it later when using welcome magic.

Frey received a mercenary defeat after hearing all about it. And I said thank you to A.J., and I packed it right away.

It's time to leave.

Frey, who came out of the door, was forced to stop struggling. Outside the house, there were members of the circle.

The first person standing in front of me was Fio, who was taught by Frey.

He was looking at Frey with particularly hot eyes. He followed Fray well, especially among his circles, and decided to leave his age or rank and think of the man in front of his eyes as his teacher.

That's why I felt even more saddened by the breakup that came.

“Rounder Frey. I heard you're on a long-term mission. ”

“Yes. I don't think I'll be back until the next meeting. ”

“The next meeting was a year and a half away. ”

“Now, isn't this a very long mission? ”

“Without Rounder Frey, we don't know what to do. ”

The circle members looked at Frey with a sad face. Some were also troubled by tears. Frey smiled softly at their favour.

“You can do well without me. Anor Ajeg said he won't leave the mission for a while. ”

“Still. ”

Frey's eyes became serious.

“Trowman Rings has just finished preparing for the emergency. It's up to you whether your wings are beautiful or featherless. And I trust you. ”

The circle members bowed with their faces enlightened.

“I'll be waiting.”

“Rounder Frey. I wish you all the best.”

“Be sure to come back safely. ”

“I'll go.”

Frey immediately left the apartment. And for a moment, he thought seriously that he didn't have a wandering wall. I never stayed in one place for more than a year after I got Frey's body.

‘That will continue to be the case. ’

Maybe we should keep going around for as long as there's nothing special.

After leaving the forest, I found the southern road I heard from Ajeg. Even though it was a long way to go, I could find it first.

‘I said I should walk for two days. ’

There is no problem. There are camping equipment in the subspace pockets and there is enough food and drinking water. Frey calmly walked down the street.

Monsters also appeared on the mountain path. Frey threatens them and banishes them, and those who do not understand the warning are forced to kill them unavoidably.

From the middle, I just used fly magic. There were no threatening flying monsters nearby, and they had little human resources so they didn't have to pay attention to someone's gaze.

Frey's ignorant manna holdings were priceless even if he used bad fly magic all night. Thanks to him it was possible to arrive at Grod in one day.

Grodd was not such a big city. It was so small that there was a warp stone. Probably due to its geographical location, there was a high probability of warpstone.

I got to the city sooner than I expected, but I couldn't get to Pilate right away. This is because there were fewer warpstones than the size of the city.

Frey grabs the inn. Then I went into the room, and I stood in front of the mirror and started changing the impression.

I didn't do a great job. It's just a welcome spell. However, it was so sophisticated that it could never be challenged unless it was a great wizard of the 8th Star.

First, I changed the color of my hair to dull blonde. It is the most common color in the Castcau Empire. His eyes were dark brown, followed by a slight touch of face.

It didn't take ten minutes. Frey looks at his face in the mirror.

There stood a young man with a circling impression. This is consistent with what Cain Rickstone looked like when he heard it.

‘That's enough. ’

Frey went to bed and went to the inn the next day with the gaze of an employee who was raising his head.

Then I went straight to Pilate with a warp stone. From this point on, he gave up Cain's mercenary defeat because he was investigating his identity card. The guard confirmed the mercenary's defeat and returned it without a doubt.

With this, nothing can be traced back to the warp stone we used last time. Fray's whereabouts will be cut off in Utiano.

Ueung

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Shortly after the warp's distinctive stimulus, Frey slowly looks around.

I felt a dual feeling that I could not feel if I were a stranger, but an ordinary person.

‘This is Pilate. ’

It was the largest city in the east and the home of the Blake family. At the same time, it was also the city closest to the Rainforest at the eastern end.

Frey heads to the mercenary guild, ignoring strange perfumes.

Because it is adjacent to the jungle, there are many monsters around, of course. Although not about Ispaniola, Pilate was one of the heavily populated cities of mercenaries. However, I didn't feel as tense as Ispaniola.

Pilate's walls are solid. It wasn't the level that monsters could break through. Citizens had absolute confidence in their safety, so they could not afford to be buried in their faces.

Mercenaries were gathering materials near the jungle rather than defeating them, or gathering them to kill rare monsters and obtain by-products.

There are dozens of mercenary guilds in Pilate. Frey was one of them, and his guild name was Bullcano.

Pinch

When I opened the door, I heard a buzzing sound. At the same time as being a mercenary guild, the building had the role of a bar, restaurant, inn, and even a speakeasy.

It smelled of alcoholic beverages and mackerel. The mercenaries have been blowing their sickness since the day of the Hundred Juju. Some of them stared at Frey.

“I've never seen one. Are you new?”

“You've got a decent robe. Giggle! You must be mimicking a wizard. ”

“No! Isn't this proof that the status of our Vulcano has improved enough for the precious Wizard Nari to make his own move? ”

“Puhaha!”

Perhaps none of them really think of Frey as a wizard. I'm more likely to simply look at Robe as a kid across the street.

It's no surprise. In the mercenary world, wizards are quite rare. They don't become mercenaries unless they really need a lot of money. The more prestigious the family, the more likely it is.

Because the short endurance of mercenaries can be a lifetime figure.

Frey heads to the counter, ignoring their whiplash. At the counter, there was a young woman who did not fit into the tough mercenary guild.

He seems to be an employee of the guild. I looked at the exterior and picked it out. It was a pretty face, but I was wearing clothes with big breasts and big thighs. The eyes of mercenaries are also humble.

“Hi, what brings you here? ”

“I'm here for a quest. ”

“Are you a mercenary?”

“Here."

“Show me your hands. ”

Frey showed the mercenary defeat. She checked only the letters engraved on the back.

“This is a defeat issued by 'Temigoe’ in the south. His name is Cain Rigstone. Are you a Class C mercenary? ”

“Yes.”

“Confirmed, please wait. ”

Then he scrambled the counter and soon showed me a few flyers.

“These are the missions that are currently available. The more difficult the task on the left, the more difficult it will be. ”

Frey shakes his head.

“I want to be escorted to the Rainels Forest. ”

“That mission can only receive a minimum of Class B mercenaries. ”

“Then I'll apply for promotion. ”

“Right now? ”

“Yes.”

“You got it. ”

I felt like I was entrusted with impulsive judgment. His voice was indifferent, but the employee looked at Frey with a strange expression, but it was not his part in the first place.

The back of the Mercenary Hand is inscribed on the back of the Hand of Mercenary Hand.

This man became a Class C mercenary three years ago.Three years is enough time for a Class B mercenary.

“You can go to the counter in the basement and apply for advancement. You'll need to cover 10 silver for the application fee. ”

Frey nods and then heads underground. The basement was pretty deep. The lower the dark staircase, where only the candles are shining, the more faint the buzzing sound of the first floor.

And when the stairs were finished, the footsteps rang aloud.

Tubbuck

The basement was spacious. It might look that way with fewer people. The corridors were long, with doors on both sides. Frey walks all the way down the hall.

At the end there was a desk and a chair, and a man sat down. He was a man with eyes full of snow. Frey recalls one of the pirates who raided Cortes in the past, but the man in front of his eyes felt that the boy was incomparable with the pirates.

“Are you here to take the promotion test? ”

“Yes.”

“What is your current occupation and grade? ”

“Wizard, the grade is C. ”

“I see. You know there are two ways to get promoted, right? Quest and Proof. What will you choose? ”

I also heard from Ajeg about this.

A quest is literally a demonstration of one's skills by performing a quest. It has the advantage of getting help from others, but it can take a lot of time depending on the type and difficulty of the quest.

The proof is to show your skills to the test tube assigned to the guild. It won't take long, but most mercenaries choose electrons, because the test tubes are known for being as stubborn as one.

Frey said he had nothing to think about.

“Proof.”

“· · · · · · hmm. It's been a long time since you've chosen proof. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Good. Follow me. ”

Frey followed the man. The boy walks down the street where Frey came from, and opens one of them.

Wide open spaces. That's not all. Frey also realizes that there are a few protective magic in this room that overlap.

There was another door in the room. The boy enters the door, and after a while comes out with someone.

This time it was a young woman. Frey, no. Robes on cloudy blondes like Cain. Frey realizes she's a wizard.

“I didn't expect a visitor from the morning. ”

“It's business time. Irene, be a little more hasty. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

She, Irene, yawned and said.

“You said you wanted to be promoted to Class B, right? Then blow your magic against the wall. ”

Then he tucks the wall behind him with his hand.

“Oh, of course you don't have to worry about breaking. This is the only 5-Star Wizard in our guild who has a few layers of protection magic, so I'm afraid this bread rack next to me will have to swing the sword with power. ”

Frey's gaze turned to the child.

“Are you a Class A mercenary? ”

“Yes.”

“So if I break this wall, I'm a class A. ”

“Puhaha.”

Irene burst into laughter.

“Yes, I like the ambition. But this wall is more magically resistant. If you can break it, I'll give you my name and make you a Class A mercenary. ”

“I think you should step back a little bit. ”

“Ah. Are you going to be foolish? ”

Irene shrugs and steps back a few steps. And I looked at Frey with my arms open.

“Flame ball. ”

“· · · · Huh? ”

Wait, isn't that a five-star spell? It was before Irene opened her mouth.

Kwaang!

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The Flame Ball remained attached to the wall. Irene closes her eyes in a tremendous explosion. On the contrary, the man watched the view with his eyes open.

The dust that blooms slowly sinks.

laryngeal weir

“ · · · · · ·. ”

There was a big hole in the wall.

My eyes murmured.

“Congratulations on becoming a Class A mercenary. ”
