29 – More money is better

Jeanne said something in a frenzied voice, but I didn’t listen and swung her sword.

Cutting illusions again and again.

I think I cut more than 30 people, but the slashing slashing illusion reappeared.

‘…… Are they gnawing away at the human spirit in this way?’

The efficiency of magic compared to mana is quite good.

The illusions of me and Jeanne glaring at me.

The real Jeanne was busy unfolding her sword, surrounded by illusions.

‘If it continues like this, there will be no end.’

New fantasies continue to appear. If you ignore them and pass by, the swords of illusions will pierce you. At the same time, the mind will be destroyed. Like the crazy knights at the entrance.

Before that, we need to get rid of the dragon.

“aaagh!”

Jeanne fought while raising her magic power to the fullest. The sword is dizzy. Jeanne, who can’t properly position herself and just defends herself.

To be honest, it would be more convenient to kill Jeanne’s spirit here, but she’s chosen to be a teacher.

She cut the illusions around Jeanne, grabbed Jeanne by the back of her back and pulled her.

“Ouch!”

As if biting her tongue, Jeanne made a strange noise.

Like that or not, he dragged it along and threw her Jeanne into her entrance.

Jeanne kicks her ass as the dust rises.

“Ah! What are you doing!!”

“It will be much easier if you deal with the illusions at the entrance. Rather than being surrounded in the lord’s castle, it would be better to deal with one or two at the entrance.”

Jeanne is stubborn and she won’t run away.

In that case, you can play with it and throw a toy at it.

Jeanne rose from the floor stroking her own ass.

“Ugh… Where are you going?”

“I will kill the young dragon and come back.”

“What? No! How are you alone…… !”

“If it wasn’t for me, could you have escaped from the siege of illusions?”

As I said, glancing at the entrance, Jeanne frowned at her.

“I know you are stronger than I thought. But catching a whelp seems difficult…….”

“I can catch the dragon and come back, so don’t talk nonsense and wait.”

“…… Where does that confidence come from?”

Jeanne grumbled with her pouty face.

It’s a waste of time if you control your power over this, so let her get away with Jeanne.

I turned around.

“Be quiet, don’t chase after me for nothing.”

“Grunt… Instead, if it becomes dangerous, be sure to come back! If you don’t come back for more than an hour, I’ll ask Master for help!”

“There is no such thing.”

Run through the lord’s castle.

I can feel the source of magic on the 3rd floor. If you go there, there will be a baby dragon.

Tsu-tsu-tsu!

There is pressure on the body. It seems that the dragon is trying to confuse and brainwash me, but it is useless.

『Attribute: Heart of Water.』

A power that allows one to maintain one’s composure against any mental attack.

I meditated while being bathed in waterfalls in the mountains, and at any moment I was able to maintain my composure against any stimulus.

When the heart of water was first displayed on the device, I wondered what it was, but now I understand it.

“You… It’s fake!”

“Fake! FALSE! FALSE!”

A lot of fake Evans flocked to the stairs after me.

Will there be 200 people?

I started talking now. He has the heart of water, but the swordsman’s pride does not allow him to be beaten by those poor fantasies.

I climbed the stairs, cutting through the illusions blocking my way.

The target is the 3rd floor, the place with the strongest magic power.

The pressure on my body is getting stronger as time goes on, but my mind is clear. I reached the end room on the third floor and kicked the door.

Boom!

A door that opens while raising dust.

A room that looks like a sleeping quarters.

The strongest magic is here.

Tsu-tsu-tsu…….

As expected, the illusions of my image being created.

I scattered them with magic before they were created. Since I came here and saw how the young dragon uses magic, I can take control of it on the contrary.

As the control of magical power was taken away, the pressure that was pressing on the body disappeared as if it had been washed away.

-…… Oh! My mana!

A childish sound rang from the side of the bed.

A large dragon is lying on what was originally supposed to be the Count’s bed.

A figure reminiscent of a bloated lizard, perhaps 4m from head to tail. Small for a dragon The belly is convex, and the limbs and wings are small. The body is colorful like a rainbow.

‘If I kill him, I’ll get 150 million points for the commission.’

150 Million points for commission.

In addition, if you take a dragon corpse and sell it, you will get more money.

Dragon corpses are sold at a high price, so if you sell them all, you might get over 500 million points.

‘I won’t have to worry about food expenses for the time being.’

Chicken breast, vegetables and fruits.

You will consume all the nutrients that are beneficial to your body.

I raised my magic. The neater the dragon’s corpse, the more expensive it is, so I intend to finish it in one shot.

-Hee, hee hee! I’m sorry

A clear tone that sounds like a human speaking.

The dragon put his head on the bed and closed his eyes tightly.

The dragon is highly intelligent and can use human language.

Even so, I have no reason to feel pity. What a swordsman needs is the ability to distinguish between enemies, not useless mercy.

-Ho, did you ever need money?

“Maybe it’s because he’s a dragon, so he’s quick-witted. Die quietly.”

– Ugh!

The young dragon lifted the blanket with his tail and threw it over his head.

Since I took away the magic power control, the dragon didn’t even raise his magic power at all. A look of complete abandonment. The dragon’s body trembled.

-Uh, how did you take control of my magical power…… !

“I can steal that much magic power.”

-Hee, hee. My sister told me to live with me. Ugh, please save me.

“I don’t know who your sister is, and I don’t know. There are many people whose minds you have destroyed, and think you will pay the price.”

I calmed down after he answered me, so I approached the dragon while opening my mouth appropriately.

-Well, I can get my mind back. I just need to get rid of the memory of “I’m dead” They have.

“I see.”

The body of a dragon that has gotten closer before you know it.

I lightly covered the sword with magical energy and then lifted it up.

At the same time, a dragon’s scream-like voice came out.

-More expensive bodies!! Don’t you need a body more expensive than mine!?

“…… It sounds like there are other dragons besides you.”

-Bo, let me show you. Wait.

The dragon crawled out of the blanket like an earthworm. I put my sword on the dragon’s long neck. While enchanted. If you do anything strange, you will be cut right away.

The dragon came down to the floor and pushed the bed with his snout, shaking his body. Then, a corpse of a dragon a little bigger than this one appeared, with a diameter of 5m.

There was another dragon. Dead though

Did you dig a hole in the floor to hide the body?

The floor of the third floor should be connected to the ceiling of the second floor, but it seems that the middle was dug out.

“…… How are you?”

The dragon only rolled his eyes and looked up at me. The sharp pupils of the reptile turn to me. However, this guy was born with a gentle personality, so he didn’t feel the young dragon’s intimidation.

“It is in good condition.”

The corpse of this whelpling did not have any cuts. It was in perfect condition, like a stuffed dragon.

‘He died from exhaustion of mana.’

Lifeforms live with the minimum amount of mana needed to sustain life. Same usage.

If this mana is not enough here, life will die in vain. The corpse of the dragon who had just died had exhausted its magic power.

“The corpse of a dragon is valuable because it is full of magic power. The corpse of a dragon whose magic power has been drained, do you think you can get it right?”

If you decide to make money, do it right.

The young dragon rolled his eyes and pointed at his horn.

“…… Or would you like to take my horn? It’s where my magical power is concentrated.”

Dragons concentrate their mana in a specific area, such as their heart, brain, or horn.

Certainly, this young dragon’s horns had strong magic power.

From noble mtl dot com

A shape that stores mana in its horns.

The young dragon raised his short hand and used his dragon to catch his horn.

‘Hmm.’

I had an idea.

You don’t even need to get horns, if you cut this guy’s neck, two dragon corpses will appear. If so, you have enough money right now. All I need is tuition and food.

‘But in the long run, it’s better to save it. The dragon’s horns grow back even if they are cut off.’

When a whelp gathers mana from nature, the horn regenerates. Why don’t you cut and sell the horns now, and then cut and sell them again when the horns are regenerated? So-called horn farming becomes possible.

The horn can be infinitely regenerated as long as it has magical power. You can sell horns infinitely.

‘It’s okay.’

I swung my sword and cut off the horn at the young dragon who was fussing about grabbing the horn.

Pot!

Dragon horns falling patter. As if it had been shaved, the whelp’s head was clear except for two small horns.

A baby dragon whose mana rapidly decreases.

I can barely use basic magic, let alone mental magic.

-Oh!

“Okay, let’s make a deal.”

-You’re saving me…… !

“But there is one thing that needs to be made clear.”

I cut off one of the whelp’s wings in half.

-Ah!

Blood formed on the wings of the little dragon.

I warned, stepping on the torn part of the wing with my foot.

“If you don’t listen, I’ll cut off one of your wings.”

-Huh… I’ll listen! Tell!!

It’s enough to listen. I asked the baby dragon who was holding back tears while biting his mouth.

“I was commissioned to kill you. So, if I don’t kill you, I can’t complete the request.”

-Kheup… That’s fine! Call my sister’s corpse mine! Give her sister’s body and say she killed me. I usually change my appearance with magic and live. So no one knows who I really am!

“Okay, pretend that corpse is you. Where are you going now If you cause chaos again, I will kill you now.”

– I will live quietly! I only came because my sister told me to go to the Countess to live.

“Is that corpse your sister?”

-Yes… And if I am in danger, use your own corpse, my sister said.

The whelp replied weakly.

This dragon, probably born from the first dragon, Basumu, seems to have been abandoned by the group.

There may be a detailed inside story, but I’m not curious. It’s a waste of time.

“Swear by your mother’s name.”

My mother’s name.

To swear by the name of Bashumu, whom all dragons worship.

The dragons who did this could never break their promise.

-Really… You’re amazing. Ugh, whoa… How do you know us so well…….

“That’s a long story.”

-Oh! Ha, I will. I will no longer invade the human realm. And.

“Evan Inning Grace.”

-Yes. I will follow what Evan Innin Grace said. I swear this to Bashumu, the first dragon and father.

Pot!

The young dragon swore an oath using all of his remaining magic power.

A small magic light exploded, and a whitish line connected between me and the young dragon. This line is a sign of an oath. A device that punishes those who break their oaths. At the same time, wherever the whelp is, you can find it by following this line.

-Whew… It’s done.

“When the horns grow, I will go to cut them again, so live quietly in the forest. You will have to live by eating animals and plants.”

-…… Yes.

The young dragon folded its wings with a tear-stained face and nodded.

“Wow.”

Mila of the Mercenary Guild burst into exclamation and appraised the dragon’s corpse.

I never thought I would bring a whole dragon corpse.

Just before the guild’s business hours were over, Jeanne and Evan dragged the corpse of a large dragon.

The belly of the corpse is stained with dirt, but there is nothing wrong with it.

There were no damaged parts on the dragon’s solid body.

Mila smiled. He looks exhilarated by the fee that will fall on him.

“You are amazing! As expected, the disciple of Sword Saint Mayer! I will take responsibility for this and dispose of it, just leave it to me!”

“hahahaha… Yes, please.”

Zane laughed awkwardly. Mila thought it was Jeanne who caught the dragon. It was Evan who caught the dragon. Jeanne is stabbed by her conscience.

Jane glanced at Evan. Evan leans against the wall and closes his eyes.

Honestly, Jeanne thought Evan wouldn’t be able to catch the dragon. Even Jeanne couldn’t easily enter the lord’s castle because of her illusion.

But somehow, the rushing illusions disappeared and after a while, Evan dragged the dragon’s corpse out.

‘…… Did he know how to catch a dragon?’

Catching a whelp isn’t that surprising. If you are a student at Charles Academy, there are often seniors who catch whelping dragons during their second year. However, it is Evan with the lowest grade. She was rumored to have poor physical abilities…….

With her curiosity in her arms, Jeanne approached Evan and she whispered.

“…… When she is interviewed, she will ask how she caught the dragon.”

“Any of her interview questions has the right to say no.”

“Ugh! It’s shameful to come out like that!”

Evan ignored Jeanne and left her guild after checking Mila packing the dragon’s corpse.

Perhaps the whelps tried their best before their horns were cut off, and the fainted knights came to their senses. The knights couldn’t move because they had been starving for a long time. Upon informing Count Berman of this fact, the Count paid the request fee as a thank you to Evan and Jeanne.

Originally, the request fee was paid after deducting the commission, but thanks to the Count’s payment instead, the full 150 million points were paid. It is exactly the value of dividing Jeanne and 5:5.

Evan checked his balance.

『Balance: 150,000,000 points』

The amount displayed on the device.

You can withdraw money from a nearby bank.

If the amount from the sale of the dragon’s body comes in later, you won’t have to worry about money for a while.

I also made a corner where the money comes out.

‘I got a good fish farm.’

The so-called baby horn farm.

If everything goes well, you won’t have to work as a mercenary to earn money.

Evan felt better.
