The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee

After the sun completely set, we returned to the village of Murg.

Cruz was waiting for me in front of the warehouse.

Look at the cruz. Sigishoara butterflies her feathers.

"Ria."

"Welcome back!"

"I'm home. Thank you for leaving Cruz, too,...... hmm?

"This way, there was no problem at all! How was the dungeon?

Cruz asks with a smile.

But there were about ten hydras rolling around it.

"You mean there's no problem, this is..."

"Well, you could take it down without a problem..."

"What the hell is this tragedy?"

Cruz snaps his neck when me, Luca and Vivi are surprised.

And he noticed something, and he raised his voice softly.

"I'm sorry. I didn't collect the loot yet."

"It's not about loot or anything like that..."

"No, Mr. Al only serves as a guard, and the demon raids are frequent."

"... there may be such a terrible village"

Cruz seems to mistake the raid of ten hydra for a routine in the village of Murgh.

That's not true, as Vivi penetrated with a frightened look.

"When was the Hydra raid?

"Well, not until the sun sets."

Then all the villagers will return to the village.

Still have to ask once and for all.

"What about the villagers?

"Eh, they're all back in the village from the fields. I'm relieved Mr. Millet helped me confirm it."

Cruz is a throat and face.

Getting Millet to help is a very good way to go.

Cruz hasn't been able to grasp the guard service, and he doesn't remember the faces of all the villagers in the first place.

"Oh, great, Cruz"

"Eh heh."

When I praised him, Cruz was honestly pleased.

In those days, Luca is starting to look into Hydra's body.

Me and Cruz, we'll watch it and help.

Seeing him start collecting loot, Fem stands his tail vertically and keeps his perimeter alert.

You don't have to say anything these days, but that's how they work with roles. Much appreciated.

Sigi, too, was tense as he went up on my shoulder and watched.

"What if"

"Morphy, tickle."

Morphy, on the other hand, was sweet on Cruz and rubbing his head.

While dismantling, I ask Luca.

"Zombies after all?

"... right"

"Right, zombies"

The collapse of a dungeon by a zombified stone snake. At the same time the raid of Zombiehydra on the village of Murg.

There's no way there's such a coincidence. This should be considered connected.

"You mean they know what's inside."

"Right."

If you don't know that the village of Murg and the vicinity of Wangdu are connected by the Transition Magic Formation, this sag makes no sense.

You were wary that the alarm would go off, or you're using Hydra, a non-flying warcraft.

At least, you'd think you knew two things: a metamagic formation and an alarm over the sky.

"Should I be wary of spies or something?

"No, you don't have to"

I deny Vivi's words.

No, I guess you should be on guard for once, but that's something you should do on your own.

If we all start looking for someone suspicious or something, it won't hurt us.

Becoming a suspect is the most dangerous thing.

"Even if you don't have a spy, all you have to do is judge him if you want to know how he's doing."

"So is that."

Cruz, who was in the king's capital by day, is there at night. It's not hard to realize the existence of a metamagic formation if you find out about it.

The sky alarm would also be noticed if it was a plot to raid Wyburn before this.

"But it's very troublesome."

"... right"

It is not sincere to endanger the village.

When I finished demolishing, I headed to the village chief's house.

"Mr. Alfred, what's wrong?

"Actually..."

That Sigi is probably being targeted by the bad guys.

And he reported that the Warcraft raid continued to take place.

"I see. That's horrible."

"Yes."

If I were to neck a guard, I was prepared to have no choice.

But the village chief smiled.

"I don't mind if you repel me."

"There may continue to be raids"

"There have been warcraft raids."

"No, this time with a mighty warcraft..."

I explained the horror of the Warcraft.

Still, the village chief remains smiling.

"Never mind. You must have been able to repel him. And you will continue to repel me, won't you?

"That's what I'm going to do..."

"Then I don't mind. It's more terrifying to be attacked by a warcraft after Al is gone."

That's true, though.

Without Sigi, the raid could be over. There is a possibility that the raid will continue.

"Right. It's time to talk to you. Al, come here."

I was invited into the house by the village chief.

Tea and tea treats are served in front of me sitting in a chair.

Did you get the smell, Sigi just takes his neck out of his nose?

"What?"

"What can I offer Mr. Sigi?"

"No, never mind. Because I'm still a chick, and I don't know if I can feed you the same thing as people."

"That's right, too"

"Ha ha..."

Sounds a little unfortunate. But I don't know if I can feed you sweets.

Let's ask Luca later.

The village chief spoke with a serious look when he sipped his tea.

"Has Mr. Alfred ever been questioned? I wonder why we are clinging to a lean land threatened by warcraft on such a periphery."

"Well, I've thought about it a little bit."

"This village is more than the last of the people who have nowhere else to be."

"Say?

The village chief did his hand to his beast ear.

"I'm an animal man, as you can see. My parents were fugitive slaves. The Millet sisters are elves, but my grandfather made them dark elves and was one of the executives of the Demon King's Army."

"... I didn't know that"

"Millet's story is only about my grandfather, 300 years ago. Because elves have a long life span. You won't even know who you are. There are a lot of other things besides Millett that have a situation."

"I see."

"It's not like he sinned in person. My grandparents and parents sinned. I was a slave. It is the survival of a destroyed clan. It will be the last restful place for such people. That's what this village was built for."

The village chief is gentle with Sigi's head.

When I hear that, my questions come to mind.

"Um, mayor, may I ask you one thing?

"What is it?"

"Surely, when Fem, the Demon Wolf King, was among us, the village chief said that a brave man came to hide in this village 300 years ago, right?"

"Fine. You also showed Al the fangs of the then Demon Wolf King, the family heirloom of the village."

"What kind of relationship is this village with the brave man 300 years ago?

"Three hundred years ago, after the brave defeated the demon king, he lost his place and built a village here."

"I see."

Compared to the brave men of 300 years ago, today's brave cruz is welcomed favourably.

I also think I am rightly rewarded for my accomplishments.

The village chief smiled gently.

"Both Mr. Sigi and Mr. Al. You can stay forever."

"... thank you"

"Truth be told, though, that recruitment requirement"

"Is that a requirement for recruiting guards?

"That's right. I remember that, and I thought someone would come who didn't have a place in the king's capital."

That's how the village chief laughs.

"Recruitment of Guards in Murg Village. Wolves and pigs are out and in trouble. The reward is clothing and accommodation. * There are hot springs in the village '

Surely no decent adventurer would take orders for this.

"Assuming it's a request I put out to the Adventurer Guild. Criminals play in the guild."

"I see."

The village chief told me the story. I shouldn't be hiding it, either.

"Village chief. I hadn't talked to you before..."

I honestly told him why I came to the village.

"I see, you're strong with rice balls. I didn't know you were part of a brave party. Mr. Cruz was a brave man, too."

"I'm sorry I hid it. And please."

"I know. There's no point in saying otherwise."

"Yes, thank you for your consideration"

"No. And it was a bargain because I could hire an awesome adventurer on cheap terms"

The village chief laughed with pleasure.

"Best regards,"

"Nice to meet you"

I bowed my head deeply to the village chief.
