Chapter 43 – Chapter 5

Kaicent, who became an official wizard of the Wolf Mercenary Corps and had no reason to use his abilities while avoiding the eyes of others, immediately revealed his presence.

“Mass feather walking.”
“Oh, my gait has really become lighter.”
“At this rate, I can move longer.”

When I first fell into this world, the feather walking magic greatly eased the pain that I felt like my feet would be torn from walking on a mountain path for so long.

When the magic was cast on the entire Wolf mercenary corps, it gave the mercenaries equipped with armor and other weapons an addiction like a drug.

“Fuck! My feet don’t hurt!”
“My knees creak less!”

It was an inexplicable happiness for those who had not felt that the pain of the broken knees and the throbbing soles of the feet alleviated as they got older.

“Kaisent. How soon will this spell be lifted?”

Frederick, who received the order along with other mercenaries, inquired about the duration.

“Depending on the amount of mana poured into the magic, the duration varies… It will last approximately 6 hours.”
“Six hours? If you use magic like that, you won’t be able to use magic when you need it?”
“Yes? This much doesn’t really matter? When the total amount of mana is 100, it is the level of using this level 2. After a little rest, it will be collected again.”

Even though I used magic that lasted for 6 hours on 100 people, I only used 2 out of 100?

Does it refill after a little rest?

‘Is the efficiency of magic superior to our world? Or is Kaicent outstanding?’

If asked straight-forwardly, Caicent, who has a timid and humble personality, would of course claim that the efficiency of magic was good.

Ultimately, Frederick, who decided to check it himself, shook his head and started moving, saying that he would like to take care of him in the future.

After walking for several hours, Lillian, who was trying to take a break as usual, checked the expressions of the mercenaries.

Perhaps thanks to the Feather Walk spell, the mercenaries shed less sweat than before, and their steps are still energetic.

Hungry for going even one step further, she walked two more hours, but her mercenaries followed without much trouble.

In the end, it was only after filling the 6 hours that the order was released that I took a break.

“Wow, these wizards, are you the only ones who use such good things?”
“Hey, you came from a mercenary group with wizards in the past, right? Did your wizard do something like this?”
“No. The fucked cubs were stuck in the wagon all the time.

Many different kinds of wizards came and the number of wizards increased, but magic was still a story from another world.

The magic of low-level wizards doesn’t look particularly great, and even the magic that looks splendid is over after a few knocks.

To see a real exhaust wizard who can change the battle situation with the power of a few, you have to participate in a large-scale battlefield, but if you are unlucky, you will be one of the soldiers swept away by the magic of a high-ranking wizard.

In the first place, there are not many wizards with an adventurous spirit, and even if there are, they are known as large-scale mercenaries or famous adventurers.

The mercenaries filled their stomachs with dried bread and beef jerky while resting.

‘Ugh. Make.’

I wanted to boil it and eat it, but I couldn’t help it because I couldn’t smell the greenskins, who had a better sense of smell than humans, even if they weren’t at the level of animals.

Still, salt is needed by the body, so Kaicent, who ate the beef jerky while drinking water, recovered his exhausted energy by lightly exercising his luck.

All that remains is to wait for the other mercenaries to recover to some extent.

“Hey, Kaicent.”
“Yes?”

At that time, a mercenary approached him scratching his head.

“It’s a Mana Road book I bought at Munratel… I can’t understand what you’re talking about? Can you explain it?”
“Give me one.”

Kaicent, who received the Mana Road book from the mercenary, quickly read the contents.

‘This is a mana load. But why is the order of fortune-telling and the method of collecting energy so inefficient?’

He was well aware that his father’s martial arts belonged to a transcendent, but even taking that into account, the mercenary’s mana load was inefficient in some areas.

‘Don’t go to Jujube Daechu from Cheonju Cheonju, go to Cheondol Cheondol and Jungbu…’

“Kaisent?”
“Ah, ah. I’m sorry. It was my first time seeing Mana Road, so I was interpreting it for a while.”
“Come to think of it, you’re also new to Mana Road, right?”

Unknowingly, Kaicent stopped trying to fix it to optimal efficiency and taught the mercenary how to use the mana rod.

“First of all, this content increases the size of mana by moving mana throughout the body, and strengthens it by stimulating blood… The body’s organs and body. It’s a bit metaphorical, so I’ll edit it.”
“Will you?”
“Once I interpret it like this…”

I began to edit or annotate the contents of the book with the pencil I usually carried with me.

While changing the contents of the book to make it easier to understand, Kaicent’s pencil, which had been moving non-stop, stopped at a certain place.

‘Should I write the contents of the book as it is? Or not…’

The mercenary did not understand the metaphor and asked for help.

In other words, even if you use a metaphorical expression at will, there is no way to know as a mercenary.

‘If I change the contents, I can’t trust my knowledge and say why I change it at will. However, according to this content, it is impossible to become a master even after 20 years.’

Didn’t Dang Seol-yeong also warn you?
Don’t reveal her own talents to others.

‘Conversely, if you don’t know that it’s my talent, there’s no problem.’

However, if the contents are changed without the mercenary knowing, will they say thank you?

Of course, I think it is the contents of the book, and I will be grateful as much as I translated the book.

‘… It’s okay not to be thanked. Because all of Wolf’s mercenaries are benefactors who made me who I am today.’

In the end, Kaicent did not lose his conscience and wrote the contents of the book in an improved direction.

He was not so harsh as to abandon a colleague with whom he ate, laughed and chatted.

If he learns the mana rod he has improved, he will become a famous master after 20 to 30 years.

It’s far-fetched, but now that I’ve been freed from the bondage of no possibility for the rest of my life, that alone is no different from being a mercenary.

“I’ve written it all. I’ll just have to move the mana according to this.”
“Thanks. I’ll try it right now.”

The mercenary patted Kai Sent on the head and thanked him, then went back to his seat, read the contents of the book, and took out something from him.

A small, transparent pill with a blue aura.
The mercenary swallowed it without hesitation.

A magic potion developed as the skills of different types of knights and wizards were blended into this world, and it was a pill containing a very small amount of refined mana.

The hardest thing when learning the Mana Road and the Internal Mind Act is to feel the Mana.

If you do not feel mana no matter how excellent the mana rod is, it is like rice cake in the picture, so it helps you to create a mana hole (danjeon in Murim) by swallowing refined mana and feeling mana simply and easily.

The mercenary, who had been moving mana while reading the book for about ten minutes, cheered.

“Okay! Mana Hall has been created!”
“What? Already?”
“The mana hall has just been created, but my whole body is overflowing with energy! Fucking knights! You have this power and yet you leave us with chores! If they had done it, they would have done it sooner!”

Although he only took one step from a trained human body to a superhuman level, his heightened senses and physical abilities led the mercenary to another world.

“Thank you, Kaicent! Thank you so much!”

He used to be ‘Mana Road? If I learn that, won’t I become stronger than I am now?’ I thought.

However, the power generated as the senses and body rose to another level lightly broke the mercenary’s ignorance.

That’s why my gratitude towards Kaisent for interpreting the Mana Road so that I could easily learn it was that strong.

“You have to collect and use mana whenever you have a chance. In particular, if you only collect and do not use it, it develops disproportionately, so be careful.”
“Yes, I see!”

The mercenary who learned about mana smiled and spewed out overflowing power here and there.

Other mercenaries, who witnessed the fellow mercenary making a mana hole in an instant, flocked to Kaicent.

“Hey, hey. I don’t understand this book either…”
“Shut up everyone! You guys are just normal Mana Lords! Mine is a hybrid between a Mana Lord and the Inner Mind!”
“Asshole. You shouldn’t even touch the Murim people.”

As I explained before, it was impossible to understand any of the martial law of the Murim people, and the mana road could be learned by rolling one’s own brain.

The problem is that the level of ‘myself’ is like a mountain far away from the common people class in this world without compulsory education.

“Wait. Wait. In order…”
“Everybody stop moving! Line up in order!”

The confusion was simply put to rest as Lillian, who couldn’t see Kaicent protesting a little, put the mercenaries in order.

“Damn it. I should have bought Mana Road too.”
“If you collect a little more, I will…”

The mercenaries, who were envious of those who could easily learn the mana rod thanks to Kaisent, decided to buy the mana rod when they earned money.

Kaicent, who was able to unleash his talents to his heart’s content, quickly began to emerge as the center of the mercenary corps.

*                           *

Up until yesterday, the Wolf mercenaries seemed like defeated soldiers moving around, worrying about when the greenskins would attack.

However, in today’s Wolf’s mercenary corps, that atmosphere has almost disappeared.

Hehe. It’s not for nothing that the knights talk about prana and mana rods.”
“Did it become a completely different world just by having mana?”

The mercenaries, who became stronger as the Mana Lord learned, smiled at the completely changed world.

Looking at the mercenaries, Lillian and Frederick were making faces as if they were prepared for something.

“The scheduled plan was pulled early.”
“But it’s something you have to go through someday.”
“That’s true, but earlier than planned…”
“You’ve already spent years with them. I think that’s enough.”
“…If you say so…”

Frederick looked anxiously at the mercenaries who had been taught the Mana Road by Kaicent.

It seems that they had some plan of their own, but the two stopped talking there.

“Wolf, Frederick!”

At that time, Kaicent, who unintentionally accelerated the plan of the two people, rushed over.

“A force of cavalry is coming towards us!”
“Cavalry? Greenskins?”
“No! It’s a human in armor!”

Kaicent, who was scouting by taming crows, heard that other humans besides themselves, and armed troops were coming, made the faces of Wolf and Frederick as well as other mercenaries brighten up.

As Kaicent said, after a while, a group of cavalry faced Wolf’s mercenaries.

“Are you the survivors from Munratel?”

Uniform armed cavalry.

When the cavalry commander in the lead asked a question, Wolf answered on behalf of him.

“That’s right. Fortunately, we were able to escape from the Greenskins’ attack by departing from Munratel.”
“Do you know how Munratel fell?”
“Is that so?”
“Good. The survivors who came first were talking gibberish, so I couldn’t understand what they were saying. Follow me.”

The cavalry commander turned his horse’s head and moved along with the words to follow.

“Where’s the cavalry?”
“You look pretty strong, right? Is it the 1st Prince?”
“No way. There’s a faction of 2 princes, so would you send an elite like that?”

When the mercenaries made a light bet on which prince the cavalrymen had sent, Lillian and Frederick looked on as if things had become a nuisance.

“Lillian. Their sentences…”
“That’s right. Akina Karaiden. She’s trying to move herself.”

The one who had to worry about the invasion of Harlot Kingdom at the time when Lucy Arkenel Kingdom was fine.

Now that the kingdom has been destroyed, there is no need to set up a confrontation, but the problem is that Akina’s ability will recognize that Wolf is a woman.

If she digs in with her doubts, there’s a good chance that Lillian’s identity will be revealed.

Because she, who was her alter ego, also knows Lillian’s appearance.

“Still, there’s no way ordinary mercenaries like us can meet nobles like Akina.”
“…You should be begging like that.”

Wolf’s mercenaries followed the cavalry, and they were able to reach a huge camp where supplies were gathered.

“Huh? Isn’t that the 1st Prince faction unit?”
“That one has the 2nd prince group pattern engraved on it?”

Surprisingly, the units of the 1st and 2nd Prince faction were transporting supplies there.

The troops of the two princes, who have to fight each other, are ignoring each other and concentrating only on transporting supplies.

Lillian and Frederick, who were well aware of Aki and Karaiden’s tendencies, immediately understood what the situation was.

“I threatened both princes. I will fight. Instead, give me supplies. Give me some supplies and I will support the other side.”
“I think so too.”

Lillian agreed with Frederick’s words.

As expected, Akina, who was a martial artist and valued the continuation of Harlot Kingdom more than politics, was wary of the new Warlord’s movements in case of an emergency.

Munratel is one of the rear cities of Count Karaiden, and if the rear is completely destroyed, the county will become isolated.

In the end, as soon as he heard the intelligence that Munratel was occupied by the Greenskins, he immediately moved to form a subjugation army and demanded supplies from the 1st and 2nd princes.

Threatening as Frederick said.

Akina Karaiden, who was preparing to counterattack at any time if the kingdom of spirits attacked Lucy Arkenel Kingdom, pulled out the blade she had been sharpening towards the greenskins.
