Chapter 432 – Undine, the Water Spirit

After getting everything to pack, I went to the spring and washed Martellis’s head once. It is better to remove the blood from it since it will be taken to the city.

Make sure it’s clean, so your identification will be fine.

ㅡsssss.

After washing off the blood and drying it, he wrapped it again in a cloak. A cloak, isn’t it an all-purpose mop that you wear around your back? It’s a consumable, so you can just use it.

—-The head of Martellis.

It’s a human head, but in a big way, it’s no different from a quest to collect a monster’s head.

Because this crazy bastard has already given up being human.

In another world, human rights are not granted or protected just because you are human. Such rights are to be created and defended by oneself. Even taking the people’s side was not enough, so I took the monster’s side.

People can kill monsters, but monsters can’t kill people. This is by no means unreasonable, but rather more of a rational idea. Because our species are humans, not monsters.

Anyway, I did a simple calculation.

First of all, 20 silver as a reward for completing the quest. There are six intermediate spirit cores. Even if you add up the bounty, you get 60 silver.

Since the three of us worked, it was 20 silver even if we split it into thirds.

It was a great income.

I can’t put a price on the stolen strange statue because I don’t know what it is. Still, 60 silver is a huge sum of money. My heart started pounding as I started to feel better in an instant.

Also, if you do good things, blessings will come.

“But the army chased him, so isn’t the bounty a bit too small for that guy?”
“Um, that’s right. How are you?”

A bounty of 15 silver is a bit on the salty side. When I questioned it, Winia answered without thinking. Actually, it’s not a very important issue. Whoever sets the bounty is up to you.

Still, the bounty is low compared to the risk.

If it was a quest, at least 30 silver would be required to form a party.

—Salist.
ㅡTower.
—-Agnas.
—Silidra.
—-Latras.

The ability to command five intermediate spirits at the same time, each with a different attribute, is not something to be taken lightly. Extremely dangerous. It can be said that it was a disaster because there were five things that most people could not defeat even one.

However, an extremely skilled swordsman and a competent mage. And if Cloudy was her opponent of her, she would be lost in vain like this.

Well, even so, they were eco-terrorists, not skilled fighters.

Just because you have strong abilities doesn’t mean you can fight skillfully and kill opponents well. The most important thing is combat sense and judgment.

Anyway, if you evaluate all of these things comprehensively, it is judged that the risk level will roughly exceed that of a C-class quest. It was natural that the military had come forward.

Quite a dangerous pup, but he was unlucky.

If there were quite a few guys as opponents, I would have just overwhelmed them with the spirits.

After that, it might have caused harm to the village. He said he had come to pick up Undine, but he didn’t believe that from the beginning. Because he had a glimpse of his thoughts of her.

There is only one way for spirits and humans to coexist.

There is no answer other than killing both sides and coexisting with the corpse. Both humans and spirits want it.

Hehe, but the intermediate spirits are no longer a dick anymore.”

Intermediate Electric Spirit?

He said his name his was Latras, but killing him wasn’t even real. It was quite fast, but not faster than my sword.

My skills clearly surpass intermediate level spirits.

It was stronger than when he fought Naias. At that time, he fought and won while doing a little shit show.

“Latras belongs to a fairly strong spirit. Our bastards did a good job.”
“It’s growing very smoothly. Mama is happy. Higher spirits are coming soon.”
“It’s all shit to me.”

If I had a chance, I wanted to test whether it would work for ordinary cuts instead of a knife sprayed with chemicals, but it turned out to be a pity.

“More than Winia. What killed Salist with the Flame Arrow? I was really surprised because it was so unexpected.”

I didn’t know that the confident Salist would come into my pocket as a nuclear reconciliation. If it’s a normal fire spirit, isn’t it immune to fire-attribute attacks?

“Then I’m afraid I can’t do that much? I told you. I’ve even caught a salist once.”

Winia said confidently as she stuck out her breasts.

“Bastard, it’s not just my breasts that make me big. Do you think that spirit is stronger than my magic?”
“Of course not!”

Even if it is originally a flame, if it encounters a bigger flame, it will kneel. How can a match fire beat a flamethrower? And Winia’s Flame Arrow was a fairly powerful spell.

So we walked down towards the village.

In any case, the heartless evil of the spirit sage, the Satanic devil, who is in charge of the bizarre group of four idiots, came to an end here.

Everywhere I go these days, it seems like I’m preaching peace to the world.

Even Undine, which was the goal to achieve in the first place, also cut cleanly. I never thought things would end so easily. Within a few hours of arriving, everything was successful.

“Yeah, but he’s a really crazy guy. All he said was just nonsense. He’s like an asshole.”
“As you can see, isn’t it?”

Even Winia, who was born and raised in a different world, was so eccentric that Matellis’ thoughts were so bizarre. Well, in fact, there is nothing different about this world when modern Earth is overflowing with all sorts of assholes.

It’s not strange.

“But thanks to you, we got a lot of good things, right? We also confirmed Kat’s growth in her.”
Hehe, that’s right.”

This is just my opinion, but in the end, thanks to the elemental lord, I got a chance to think about monsters once again. About monsters that kill people and existences that cannot coexist.

Maybe Matellis didn’t appear to tell me these things.

When I thought about it, my heart started to warm up.

Your sacrifice will never be forgotten, Martellis.

It wasn’t long before we arrived at the village. When we looked for the village chief right away, he greeted us with a very unexpected expression.

“Ooh, did you catch Undine already?”
“That’s right. I treated it very cleanly.”

I took out Undine’s core and showed it to the village chief. He looked at the core with his eyes wide open, but in fact, it is unlikely that the village chief could recognize the spirit’s core.

“Is this… Proof that Undine is dead?”
“When a spirit dies, it leaves a core like this and disappears. Hmm, you might not know. In that case, it’s probably better to go to the spring and check it out together. Gather a few people and follow me.”

The adventurer’s job is to show the client that the target has been completely destroyed. Other monsters could just cut off their heads, but they weren’t spirits.

“Okay. Wait a minute.”

There’s plenty of time until tomorrow anyway, so it’s better to show it before it gets dark.

Professionals do not create problems in their work.

“Cloudy, Winia. Resting here for a while. I’ll show you and come back.”
“Yes, I will.”
“Goodbye bastard.”

Then, accompanied by three vigilantes to serve as witnesses and the village chief, they walked up to the spring. However, it seems that all four of them were quite frightened even though they said they had killed Undine.

It must be frightening to hear that three of the people who lived with Hagisa died.

Every town has vigilantes. But they are not professional fighters. Rather than solving problems, they are beings who wait for the swordsman to come while defending the village and controlling the residents.

Hehe, don’t worry. Undines are already dead. Our adventurers are experts in dealing with such monsters. We were able to kill them quickly because we knew their location.”

When he said it with a smile on his face, he seemed relieved as if his tension had finally eased.

“Money never betrays trust. As long as you spent tens of silver for a request to the adventurer’s guild, the problem will be solved for sure. No matter what.”
“That’s right, right?”

The young man replied. He might look roughly in his mid-teens, he’s the age of a middle school student on Earth, but he’s already an adult in another world.

Enough to live as a vigilante.

“By the way, adventurer… How old are you?”

He asked me

“I lived like this for a few years. Are you interested in adventurers?
“Umm… I see.”

There are very few people who want to quit being a farmer and become an adventurer. A farmer lives better than most adventurers, unless it’s a situation where a great famine or bad harvest is going to make a damn thing.

In other words, adventurers are like engineers.

Now that I’ve built up some skills and bought the right equipment, I’m going to be spending a lot of money, but other adventurers aren’t like that.

Fighting monsters with your bare body is quite difficult.

In the first place, you have to be a D-class adventurer to touch money, and the guys below that are just Kim Katt, a manual laborer in the early days.

“It’s better to just farm and be in the vigilantes. Anyway, here’s the spring.”
“Boys, hurry up and find Bauer’s body.”

Upon arriving at the fountain, the village chief and vigilantes moved cautiously and looked around. I stood still, watched my surroundings, and let them check until they were satisfied.

“It seems that Undine is definitely not there… But just in case, if Undine appears again… “

After checking it carefully for about 30 minutes, the village chief approached me and handed me a request. It was prepared in advance and the stamp was stamped.

“Don’t worry. You can come to the guild and talk again. The adventurer’s guild is a group that runs on trust. I’m also a person who makes a living from guild commissions, but I won’t gossip about catching them .”
“…I didn’t doubt it. Anyway, thank you.”

Of course you can doubt it.

“It’s something that’s paid for, but what about gratitude? Next time something similar happens, it would be better to control the residents sooner so that the damage doesn’t increase.”
“Okay. I will.”
“But the time is like this, so I guess I’ll have to stay overnight. Is there any lodging in town?”
“There is no separate one. There is one warehouse that is not used, but I will give it to you.”
“Thank you.”

In the end, things ended like this. Today’s quest is a success. I felt refreshed with a sense of satisfaction. This is how you build your career and your fortune.

He immediately brought the people down to the village.

“What are you saying, bastard?”
“I’ve received a request. I’ll give you an empty warehouse, so you can sleep there.”

After accepting the request, Winia smiled as if she was satisfied.

“Real bastards are so fucking strong, I’d love to take them around. Aww, my cool guy. Come on. He’s just fucking reliable.”
“There is no other man as reliable as me.”

I’m glad you’re happy

I went to the warehouse I was informed of and unpacked. There seems to be a well, so let’s take a proper bath and rest, and then we’ll start tomorrow morning.

*  *  *

“Kat, we’ve arrived.”
“Ugh?”

I remember waking up again as soon as I got into the carriage at dawn, but when I woke up, it was Isvant. Cloudy was touching my ear. The time is approximately noon.

As soon as we got off, we headed to the adventurer’s guild.

I have a few things to do today, so I think I need to move a little faster.

Let’s ask the window clerk about the bounty.

“Here, the quest has been completed.”
“Umm… Class C’s Winia, and Class D’s Katt, and Class E’s Cloudy… A colorful combination, right? Here’s the 20 silver for the request.”

I immediately handed over the request to the staff and received 20 silver. I asked while counting the money.

“By the way, are you wanted here by any chance?”
“A wanted letter?”
“I saw a face that looked like a glimpse of it on a wanted letter in the past, but I was wondering if it was long or not. I wanted to check if it was true.”
“Hmm… The guild probably keeps some of them. Go up to the second floor. If you want to see the wanted letter, they will guide you.”

20 silver coins. Accurate.

“Okay. Good job.”
“You worked hard.”

I went straight up to the second floor.
