Chapter 532

The man, who doesn’t look uncomfortable in the slightest in terms of movement or center of gravity, even though he’s wearing a prosthetic leg that has no function whatsoever, leans on his sword and looks at us with a relaxed attitude.

But apart from that attitude, his mana is soaring. Thanks to this, I had to keep my nerves as sharp as I could, and thanks to this, I could barely catch the clatter and footsteps across the alley where the silence fell.

armed troops. A man is not alone.

Since the corroded body was described as a monster, it seemed unlikely that it belonged to the Demon King’s Army with a high probability, but I had to move carefully as there were also Demon Army supporters who were unaware of the involvement of the Special Operations Department.

After making that decision, I confidently answered, bending my lower back.

“I was just following the trail to find out where they came from.”

I didn’t set my posture, and I didn’t raise my mana. Even if the other person is a member of the Count Leitor family, if I openly reveal my identity, I will be caught.

However, the other person didn’t seem to like my answer that much.

“Didn’t you learn not to spin around when talking to people from Leithor? You guys must have asked what?”

The tone was still calm, but aside from that, the shoulder on the side that wasn’t leaning on the two-handed sword twitched. Because only the breastplate and proper guards were worn, the movement of the muscles was more visible. The reason why his muscles, which had been calm until just now, were shaking was very obvious.

From the other side’s point of view, I’m just a human with only a body, and the sword Kanshi next to me is just a beastman wearing armor, so he seemed to think that that would be enough of a threat.

Because the situation was the situation, I fully understood his reaction, so the simple threat was not offended. However, I still had no intention of speaking, so I avoided the answer he wanted and instead took a direct shot to meet the requirements.

“How do I know if you’re from Leithor, hired mercenaries, or allies with this monster? Do all warriors who claim to be Leithorians prove themselves by cutting off a foot like you do?”

I didn’t forget to kindly move my left ankle, which he didn’t have, and kick the floor. Then, the opponent showed a genuinely bewildered expression, and Carl Kansi groaned next to him, saying, ‘No, that...’.

Of course, my conscience was pricked a little, but not enough to feel remorse. In terms of movement and mana, I wasn’t a person at the level of having a flaw in my life just because I lost one ankle.

On the contrary, wouldn’t it be less suspicious if you do this than to treat someone who comes out of the middle of the day with a low-key attitude?

“Ha! Does your human friend have a pulpit?”

It wasn’t as far as expected... but the man’s reaction following his bewildered expression was quite favorable.

“There is no practice like me to prove that I am a warrior by amputating a leg, but I made a bit of a name for myself as a Leitor in exchange for this leg.

As I turned my head to follow his chin, Carl Kansey nodded slightly as if responding to the man’s words. Apparently, I was shocked at my remarks about the disabled and moaned because I thought my personality had been tampered with, but it seemed that I was reluctant to let out the fact that I didn’t know that person.

“I’m a swordsman called the Iron Wolf of Count Leitor.”

It was a sign that I noticed, but Carl Kansi, who has the unique sense of a beastman, didn’t notice? As soon as I noticed something strange, a natural excuse flowed from my mouth.

“You whistled earlier. In moderation.”

Didn’t say it was real. Although he is a disciple of a wizard in name, shouldn’t he refrain from lying?

Instead, he made a plausible gesture. Seeing my shrug, the man let out a deep sigh with a dejected expression on his face.

“Damn it. I was stupid. Yes, I have subordinates. I had no intentions. If it’s an enemy, I’ll ambush it. If it’s not an enemy, I just stopped because I didn’t want to be a threat.”

“If it’s like that, then what?”

Karl Kansi’s eyes rolled quickly as he nodded his head moderately and watched him finish the deal with the man. Unlike the man, he seemed to be fully aware of my sudden change of words.

“Let’s talk later.”

Carl Kansi, who whispered softly while escaping the alley following the man who said he would move while defeating his men, was also a very good colleague.

“On the way, I’m going to say a proper voice. I’m doing it with Taj Quaeri, who serves Count Leitor.”

“Ethan Lavishire. Just a traveler.”

“Carl Kansi.”

“...Wait? Carl Kansi? Pioneer Carl Kansi?”

Taji, the man who was giving directions, thinking that he had been talking about his hidden military history, suddenly stopped walking and looked back at us at the self-introduction of Carl Kansi.

“That’s right. That’s me.”

I was surprised inside that Carl Kansi was a celebrity enough to show this reaction, and I was about to nod my head moderately, but for some reason, Taj’s eyes were not only on Carl Kansi, but also on me.

That gaze was very favorable, unlike before. what is this?

“Oh my God. Then, was that the holy son of retribution, Lavisher?”

“...Yes? What?”

what is this again?

“The human who accompanied Carl Kansi from ‘The End’. Aren’t you the one?”

“...Is that right?”

This time, it was my turn to collect the hooks for me and Carl Kansi at the same time, but fortunately, Taji wasn’t the type to explode with information that only he knew. He shook his head as if it was absurd, but explained in a pleasant tone that he felt very good.

“Lavisher, the saint of punishment, who broke the thieves’ skulls while shouting Epaga’s name, and brushed away even the monsters that were a nuisance in the area without receiving any pay. You are very famous.”

I didn’t expect to meet you like this, so nice to meet you. Saying that, Namuna also naturally invited Taji to shake hands, so without a moment to say anything, I reflexively reached out and received a handshake.

“Shouldn’t you have said it right away. Then you wouldn’t have to be so vigilant.”

It was a foreign country that laughed cheerfully and let go of its guard to the fullest, but Carl Kansey and I looked at each other and shared a sense of absurdity.

Why do nicknames keep increasing in places I don’t know about?
