Sophie, who had been chattering for a while, nodded off and fell asleep, probably tired.

A bit small for a 15-year-old, his body was curled up and sleeping like a beanworm.

When the chirping bird-like girl fell asleep, the surroundings became quiet.

All I hear is Sophie’s swaying breathing, the old horse’s hooves clattering, and the white noise that sounds like the buzzing of insects at the end of late autumn.

Dojin cast his gaze into the distance.

The sun that dyed the world in vermilion has set, and the bright moon that has risen instead of it has overlaid the son-in-law in a dark silvery blue color.

The quiet scenery is overly beautiful.

To the extent that it is taken for granted that many people love virtual reality more than reality, and are addicted to it.

“If you are tired, you can close your eyes for a while. This guy is so old that he walks slowly, so it will take quite a while.”

As Hanolds said, the speed of the wagon was slower than that of a man walking.

It was only natural that the old horse pulled the wagon full of firewood.

Still, there were no complaints.

It was Do-jin’s favorite thing to sit in a moderately rattling carriage and look at the beautiful scenery.

“I am fine. Is there anything more to cover than that? I think I’ll catch a cold sleeping like this.”

“Are you going to cover it? Don’t worry. Sophie, when she was young, she was weak and worried a lot, but now she walks around barefoot even in the dead of winter. I prayed that he would be healthy, but he became very healthy, and all sorts of accidents were all over the place.”

A voice full of laughter showed Hanolds’ love for his daughter.

Do-jin, who saw the small nose moving frowning, spread the hem of his robe and wrapped it around Sophie.

“I’m worried because the village kids have nosebleeds quite often. Compared to when I was watching him suffer from a fever, I wonder if that nosebleed is the problem, and it is.”

Silence fell again behind Hanolds’ pleasant laugh.

It was a silence without any discomfort.

It was because the fear that Hanolds felt had gone.

There were no obstacles, as they were on a road leading to a remote village.

Other obstructions that appear on a regular basis, such as bandits, also appear only on streets with a certain floating population.

There was no idiot running a business in a place like this that was lucky if one or two people passed by a week.

For that reason, the wagon carrying Dojin arrived at the entrance of the mountain at the expected time, and after moving for a while, it arrived at Gulak Village deep in the mountain.

“Hannolds, take Sophie and come back so late! Maxim already arrived earlier, but you didn’t come so I was worried!”

As the carriage entered the village entrance, a sharp voice was heard.

Then we hear Hanolds scream.

“Oh, it hurts! It hurts, honey!”

“It’s a big distraction, so I’m going to have a good time! Where is Sophie?”

“I’m sleeping in the luggage compartment! Ugh, honey, your belly fat is ripped off, ripped off!”

Sophie opened her eyes at her mother’s voice.

‘Mom… … .’ and Sophie rubbing her eyes.

Do-jin caught him trying to go down in a dark place.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Sophie stumbled and followed her mother’s voice.

“Sophie!”

“Mom… … .”

Sophie’s mother, Jenny, who found her daughter drowsy and unable to walk properly, rushed over and looked around Sophie.

It is to make sure that there are no damaged or damaged places.

It seemed that he was really hugged because of his smaller body than his peers.

“Ugh, so that’s why mom told me to stay at home because it’s only tiring to go outside, right?”

“No, it was fun to go out. See also the wizard brother.”

“Wizard?”

“No, that’s right. Honey, on the way a wizard-”

Ignoring her husband’s words and following her daughter’s gaze, Jenny turned her head and found Do-jin in a black robe walking out from the back of the carriage.

and.

“If you brought a guest, we shouldn’t have to talk about that!”

She punished her husband who approached her urgently.

“Quaagh! Now, you were talking about it!”

“Faster! You should have done it as soon as you saw it!”

Do-jin, who was about to say hello, had no choice but to stand for a while in the appearance of a couple who had no time to intervene.

You might be surprised by the appearance of an outsider in a black robe, but seeing that, you didn’t have to think about who Sophie looked like.

“Mom, Mom, the wizard brother helped me when I passed the checkpoint earlier!”

Even Sophie, who was fully awake from the parents’ clamor, started chattering, adding to the turmoil.

“hello. You helped my husband and daughter? thank you so much.”

Jenny approached holding Sophie and greeted her with a bright smile.

Upon closer inspection, their features resembled Sophie’s, and anyone could tell that they were mother and daughter.

In a way, they look like sisters with a slight age difference.

“You have nothing to worry about. I haven’t done much.”

“not really. As soon as the checkpoint soldiers saw the wizard oppa, they got scared and let us go. Did you even do this with your hands to tell me to go quickly?”

Sophie chattering excitedly as if it were her own saga.

Patting Sophie’s head, Jenny said.

“I was worried a lot because everyone who came back first had a hard time at the checkpoint, but I’m really grateful.”

During the conversation, villagers who were awakened by the commotion began to appear one by one.

“Looks like Hanolds is back?”

“Don’t you know when you hear the screams? You must be getting hit by Jenny again.”

“Looking at how late it is, it looks like Hanolds had a hard time at the checkpoint too. Other people have suffered quite a bit too.”

“Perhaps the delay is not because of that, but because of the horse? That son of a bitch is old and filthy slow.”

The village men who appear one by one while having a conversation are shocked to see Do-jin reflected in the torchlight.

It was a natural reaction, seeing it as an outsider in a black robe.

But Jenny shouted at the village men, as if she didn’t like that frightened look.

“Anyway, in case someone isn’t Hanold’s friends, there are so many distracting things that I’m scared of, just scared! She’s the one who helped Sophie at the checkpoint, so she’s a guest, a guest! Hanolds, quickly pull the wagon and put it in the firewood or storage shed with your nerdy friends.”

Jenny, who slapped Hanolds on the back, smiled brightly at Dojin.

“Wizard, follow me. There is an inn in our village too. I usually make a living as an herbalist, but I’m only providing rooms and food to occasional guests.”

“I was worried about where to stay, but thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Mom, can’t you just sleep over at my house tonight?”

“Our house is small, so there is no place for the wizard to sleep.”

“Hey.”

Since the town is so small, after walking with Jenny for a bit, I saw Hanolds again.

It seemed that they were trying to move firewood by pulling a wagon in front of a building used for public storage.

In response, Dojin used telekinesis to lift firewood.

“Huh?”

“Aww!”

“It’s a ghost!”

The village men screamed in amazement as they saw the firewood floating in the air.

Some of them looked at Do-jin and said, ‘He was also a wizard… … .’ muttered the same thing.

“Wow!”

On the other hand, Jenny and Sophie’s mother and daughter admired with their eyes shining brightly.

Even though the other side was bigger, the two mothers and daughters in the liver were much bigger.

“Mr. Hanolds and others. Could you please step aside?”

Hanolds and the men in the village stepped aside, looking at Dojin and the firewood flying in the air, as if possessed by something.

There was no comedy in the sight of bear-sized men standing in a line and moving their heads following firewood.

‘Perhaps because the level has risen a lot, the output of [Insomnia] has risen a lot.’

As he lifted a weight he could not lift before, Dojin felt his own growth.

The firewood moved by telekinesis was placed in the warehouse in a nice way.

The men of the village, who came out prepared to sweat, looked at the empty carriage with dumbfounded faces.

“Wow – I’ve never seen anything like this before!”

Sophie, excited by the magic she had never seen before, clapped wildly and liked it.

“Wow, that’s great… … . I’ve only heard of things flying through the sky.”

Even Jenny was surprised.

Even a simple miracle was surprising to the people of this small town, who had never seen magic in their lives.

“Go, thank you. Wizard.”

The village men who barely came to their senses bowed their heads to Dojin.

Half frightened eyes, half curious eyes.

Do-jin bowed his head to them and moved again to the inn.

“Heh heh, I didn’t know that a customer would become such a precious person in almost six months.”

The innkeeper was an elderly couple.

They served steamed potatoes for Do-jin.

“I’m sorry I only have these because it’s a time when food is scarce.”

“Laura, I am hungry too.”

“Sophie!”

It was Sophie who took a hand with steamed potatoes, but was quickly subdued by Jenny.

“Hey, I’ll give you Sophie’s separately, so stop it.”

“It’s okay, Grandma. I’ll take you home and feed you.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. After all, there are only two old people in our house, so we don’t eat much.”

Dojin felt better as he listened to the conversation.

It was because I thought that it was a town where warm people lived even if I lived without it.

“Grandma, you don’t have to bring more potatoes.”

Do-jin dissuaded the grandmother from going to the kitchen and took out food from the inventory.

Of course, to avoid unnecessary fuss, I pretended to take it out from inside the robe.

Jerky and bread, which are the cheapest food from the user’s point of view, and are only used to fill the stomach.

However, for them, ‘meat’ itself must have been a food that was hard to find.

“Ugh.”

Sophie’s eyes widened when she saw the jerky and bread as proof.

He brought his hand to the steamed potatoes right away, and was rather cautious when he saw the meat.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Maybe it’s because it’s so valuable.

“I have a habit of packing plenty of food when I travel. There are so many that we can eat together, so let’s eat together. Also call Mr. Hanolds. Oh, before that, can I borrow the kitchen?”

“Lord, why is the kitchen… … ?”

“If possible, I would like to eat more deliciously. Sophie, do you want to see the magic?”

Sophie’s head, which was preoccupied with meat, returned with a bang.

Seeing the vigorous nodding of the head, I was concerned about the health of my neck.

“Follow.”

Do-jin took Sophie to the kitchen and lit a fire with magic.

The magic fire was perfect for cooking because it could be adjusted freely.

It was a stew with only jerky, potatoes, milk, butter, salt, and pepper.

Still, it smelled and tasted great because there was a time when I cooked and ate while living in a hunting ground in my previous life.

The elderly couple, Hanolds, and Jenny, and Sophie and Dojin sit around with a steaming stew in front of them.

The first drink was Sophie, the youngest.

Sophie, who was struggling with the heat after putting a large piece of beef jerky and potatoes into her mouth at once, said with wide eyes.

“Ah, this is the first time I’ve eaten something like this.”

Then, the other people thanked Dojin one by one and put the stew in their mouths.

The generous stew reduced quickly.

* * *

The mountains late at night are cold and dangerous.

No one would want to enter such a place.

Even so, there were about 20 people in dark clothes moving around Gulak Mountain.

“How much closer do you need? Now, if you go a little further, it’s a wasteland. Aren’t we getting caught up in this?”

A man in black armor asked a man in a robe.

Then, a wizard with a gloomy impression in a robe answered.

“Don’t worry. Where we are is far from the path the ants will travel. If the ants follow the signal and swarm, they will cross the ridge and follow the canyon in front of it to the village we need to clear.”

“Then I’m glad… In any case, there should be no disruption to the plan.”

“Don’t worry about that either. I’m not a great wizard, but it’s not to the extent that I can’t use these well-made magic tools. As long as your men have planted them properly, there will be no setbacks to the plan.”

After their conversation passed, the man from the back approached.

“If you do this, it is true that this area will become the domain of monsters, right?”

The wizard smiled and answered his question.

“Of course, Baron Lunbern. Although monsters, those living in the wasteland are ants. Once they come here and do proper feeding activities, they will expand their territory here.”

“hehehehe, if that happens, there will be a place full of monsters in my territory. Finally, we can receive the support of our territory and the imperial family, and extort taxes from the adventurer’s guild. Compared to that, a few herbalists’ lives is not a big deal.”

Baron Lünbern glared in the direction of Gulag Village with a vulgar laugh.
