The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

A few days after Aldis started working with the royal capital as a new base. I went out to hunt a few times, but there wasn't even a tribe like a boss who could introduce me to my job. Aldis continued to carry nothing but mercenaries, bringing daily necessities to the forest house.

One day. The information store Cesare has provided some information with three copper coins.

"The Lord Tria doesn't seem to be attached to you, but the mercenaries don't seem to think so. Some mercenaries are aiming at you."

Along with telling the story of Nere, the name of Aldis seems to have been passed on to the royal capital at the same time.

According to Cesare's information, the target of the Marquis Tria and the territory was Nere, and no action was taken against Aldis. But it seems that mercenaries who do not know it, or who do know and still read behind the scenes, are working to bring Aldis to the prince of Thria.

"In a way, it can be said that the rumor that has flown is working."

As Cesare said, rumors that Aldis had commissioned and shed, "The female mercenaries flowed to the empire," were spreading among mercenaries through intelligence agencies.

It seems that no one is going to the Empire in pursuit of Nere.

Originally, no official request has been issued. Even if you capture Nere, you don't always get the reward from the prince of Tria, so it's a good thing to think about exploring another country. But Aldis who regularly appears in their home ground, the royal capital ... It seems natural that some people think that.

Of course, a successful capture of Aldis and presenting it to the prince of Tria does not guarantee a reward. Delicious, but those who don't understand it, are optimistic, or think about things for themselves, may only see Aldis as a "prey with a certain thing."

When he was active in Tria, Aldis refrained from sword magic and unspellcasting magic so as not to be too inconspicuous, and did not actively sell himself. For this reason, the capital may not have heard of Aldis's own strength.

"It's better to be careful .... Well, you won't be able to do that easily."

"I understand. Let's be careful. Thank you."

"... I don't need to thank you because I get the money."

Cesare said with a complicated look.

"I don't want to be attacked, but it's troublesome to fight off each one."

"I don't mind being attacked ..."

Aldis isn't going to lose to mercenaries everywhere, even if they rely on numbers. However, it was still cumbersome in the sense of extra work.

"Isn't it okay to show in advance the strength that mercenaries will not be willing to go out of hand? Defeat known monsters?"

"Neither demon demon"

Until now, Aldis was reluctant to raise his name. Although it was from the heart that he did not want to get involved, Aldis is now having trouble. There is no point in impersonating now.

If so, it might be better to show off the overwhelming power and not to inspire Aldis to go hand in hand. If Aldis were to be among the mercenaries at first glance, it could be a deterrent to protect them if the twins fell apart.

"Cesare. What are some of the famous monsters around the royal city?"

"One copper coin"

An informationist presents the price.

"It's really cheap"

"It's information that even the general public knows. You can find out by asking around here without asking me."

"Tell me for free."

"Because it is not allowed by the pride as an information store."

He was a very professional man in strange places.

"I see, one copper coin."

With a bitter smile, Aldis took a copper coin from his pocket and placed it on the counter.

Bruises: “The famous“ named ”monster around the royal capital. There are also three opponents who can be named just by defeating them. This is a mutant of "Tron", a monster with two stripes on the face, followed by a "four-blade" with a nest on a small island seen from the royal capital, two necks, four legs, And it's a giant bird monster with four wings. Finally, "red eating" nestling in ruins by the sea. A humanoid monster whose whole body is stained red like blood. "

Cesare talked about the features of three bodies while counting.

The Three Great Devils: These are sometimes collectively referred to as "". Each is a monster that has buried the challenger so far. It is as strong as you grind in Tria. If you can defeat it alone, there will be no mercenaries thinking about taking your hand in the future. ''

"Is there a prize money?"

Jitetsu: Of course, the territory of 'Suzu-Yori' is said to have a vein, but thanks to the guy, he couldn't even investigate it. It also has great military and military benefits, so the nation would want to somehow defeat it. ''

At present, heavy iron can be mined in the Kingdom of Nagras only in the hills near the border with the Empire. Given that the relationship with the empire is not good, it is enormous that heavy iron will be able to be produced in areas other than the border, which is likely to become a battlefield when the war begins.

"What about 'four blades?'"

"It seems that the trader's route will be large because it attacks ships in the surrounding waters. If there is no such thing, it will be great that the nearby sea area can be opened as a fishing ground. ”Is a security issue because the ruins seem to have been used as a fort. The fact that an unknown monster is nesting in a fort near the royal capital It is also a problem from the top of the

"If that's the reason, I just want the military to subdue it."

"I don't want to inadvertently weaken the army as tensions with the Empire continue. There seems to be no major defeat in the last two decades."

Certainly, you want to avoid serious damage to the army. If the strength is comparable to an elephant-like elephant grinder, only the deaths will increase when the soldiers gather.

"If you hunt those three bodies, you can make them famous in the capital city?"

"That's true. In addition, a decent mercenary wouldn't even think about giving a shot to such a strong man."

"I see"

After paying an extra fee, Aldis asked for more information about the three and left the bar.

After making the necessary preparations, Aldis headed out of the northern gate of the royal city and headed for the base of the Canobis Mountains in []. Fly in the skies where time is short, save time, and arrive at your destination before noon.

Although it is close to the royal capital, it is in a mountain where people rarely enter. The leaves of the overgrowing trees are buzzing in the wind. The sign of the beast that is actively moving tells us that this is a rich mountain.

Aldis takes out the cheap bells he bought in the royal city from his bosom and shakes it lightly. The transparent sound of the bell reverberates between the trees.

Soon the signs of the beasts around Aldis disappeared. According to Cesare's story, "Suzu-Yori" appears to be invited by the sound of a bell. The normal "Tron" does not have such a habit, but it is said that the individual that seems to be a mutant species responds to the bell sound for some reason.

As Aldis keeps the bell ringing for some time, a four-legged white creature emerges from among the rustling trees.

"It really comes out of the bell sound."

The face of the demon that appeared was like a lion with a mane, but its feet were as thin as a waterfowl, with a finger-to-finger between the fingers. It is unnatural like a lion's feet cut off in the middle and a waterfowl's feet added to it, but the appearance itself is no different from a normal Tron.

The difference is its color. A normal tron is light brown in its entire body, but the individual in front of it has a white body. The face has two bruises running from the forehead to the jaw. The appearance as I heard from Cesare. It was definitely "Suzu leaning".

"Do you want to end quickly?"

It's bad for Suzuyori, who has long reigned at the top of the food chain here, but Aldis has no intention of wasting time. Earlier than "Suzu-Yori" shouted vigilantly, he jumped two short swords and cut off his forefoot, quickly closing the distance and cutting off his neck with a sword.

A few hours later, Aldis was on a small island in the sea, near the royal capital. This is in order to defeat the "four-bladed" that lives on the island.

It's easy to lure this monster. "Four Blades" does not allow enemies to enter the territory. Without hiding herself, Aldis flew over the sky to reach a small island and was hit by a "four-bladed" raid without landing on the island.

"I'm bigger than I heard."

According to the information I got from Cesare, I heard that the wings were 5 meters long. The feathers that cover the raptor's body are purple, almost black, and its appearance resembles a large one. He had two sharp-beaked heads, four large pawls with claws, and two sets of four wings from which the name came.

Four blades rush straight to Aldis.

"Oops"

It's a simple attack, but the giant that comes into play with a sharp beak at the top is just a weapon. Aldis raises altitude instantly and dodges it.

The four blades, which were able to avoid the first shot of the encounter head, turned a large distance at a distance.

The next moment, the light flashes as an arrow and strikes Aldis. As expected, she was unable to evade, and the light danced madly on the surface of the magic barrier unfolded by Aldis.

"Is it like a blitz?"

This is what I heard from Cesare, "Attack from a long distance."

"Sure, this was shot from the sky, and the sailors wouldn't have accumulated."

There is no point in how much power you can be proud of on a ship if you are struck by a lightning strike from the sky where the arrow does not reach. The four blades would have always driven humans with a one-sided attack.

But that's when the person on the boat is your opponent. Aldis, which can fly in the sky, has a means of approaching the four blades, and once approached it can attack with magic or fly a short sword.

"go!"

Aldis shoots a short sword high. The two short swords flew in an arc, sandwiching the four blades from the left and right.

Aldis strikes a short sword while magically restraining four blades trying to escape from an unknown object. The short sword that sneaks into the pockets of the four blades peels ruthless tusks and cuts the wings one after another from the root.

The four blades, which lost three wings, lost their flying power and crashed into the sea.

"Oh, bad."

If you sink into the sea, taking the neck, which is evidence of subjugation, can be troublesome.

Aldis immediately freezes the sea at the point of the fall, and then changes shape like a needle mountain. Convulsions The four blades, which could not even control their posture, pierced the needle mountain at the speed of the fall and stopped moving after a while.
