Ian looked back at her as if spellbound.

Huh?

Just before You didnt only use red magic

No, thats

Eh? Really?! Miguel butted in, eyes wide as he looked back at Ian.

Then Sir, is that legendary mage? Really?

Im sure! Im certain!

What do you mean by certain. Thats completely wrong. Snorting, Ian spat out.

Luci blinked.

But, you used magics of several colors just before.

While thats true. That doesnt mean Im the White mage. In the first place, those magics werent anything great either. Ian looked between Luci and Miguel as he added.

Its just a sort of trade secret, an ace up my sleeve. So dont get any strange thoughts.

Alright.

After a while, Luci nodded her head and stared straight at Ian.

I will keep Sir Ians secret.

Me too, Sir.

Their gazes seemed to not believe his words at all.

Ha Think what you want. Its not it if its not it.

It would be unfair if it really was like that. Im just a high leveled bastard after all?

Tongue clicking, Ian looked back.

The smoking hill had already gone quite far.

From today on, there would probably be an additional rumor of a mage in the frontier.

After a while, Miguel looked back at him with a slightly more clear-headed expression.

A thought just came to me. We might encounter one or two more of those checkpoints.

Cant be helped. But after doing that, there wont be any soldiers trying to block our way. Of course.Ian shrugged. Even so, fights against pursuers are definitely unavoidable.

Tch I already smell the iron in my nose. Miguel murmured.

Ian leaned his head against the backrest.

He was starting to think it would be better if they all just swarmed quicker.

A sign he was getting tired.

Rest whenever theres time to rest. Dont think unneeded thoughts. There isnt much left now.

***

Based on the information so far, it seems the kidnappers are headed to the abandoned land.

What!

Are you saying theyre planning suicide?!

Not just Uwe, even Jamie was surprised.

The Count shrugged.

They probably believe in that mage. With a powerful mage and a master swordsman, they might be able to cross that cursed land to the north, right?

If heaven helps them, that is. Jamie murmured.

The Count shrugged again. It was hard for me to believe too. But if thats not the case, theres no way to explain this movement route. Whats fortunate for us is that theyre going around in circles.

The Count drew a straight line from Hilram heading north.

We can go ahead of them and wait.

The riverside leading to the abandoned land beyond the border. The edge of the valley.

Best if we can catch them before they cross the bridge.

Ill make preparations right away. Uwe turned around after nodding.

After he left and closed the door, the Count looked at Knight Jamie.

Attach twenty cavalry to him. Itd be best if the sacrifice comes from their side.

The Uwe Mercenary Group was useful but also annoying.

As they grew bigger and bigger, there was no telling when they would bare their fangs.

It wouldnt be so bad to reduce their numbers a bit this chance.

Itd be even better if Uwe dies.

If the kidnappers end up crossing into the abandoned land after all

Tapping the map, the Count added.

Have the cavalry retreat before sunset.

Should we leave the mercenary group behind?

They wont give up. Their pride is at stake. Try persuading them, and if that doesnt work, just leave them be. The imperial trackers and peasants probably wont give up either, so by that point, theyll just be walking corpses.

Ill follow your orders.

After bowing his head, Knight Jamie turned around.

Left alone, the Count quietly gazed down at the map.

At most three days, and he would know the outcome of all this chaos.

Either earn money and pride Or die trying. Doesnt matter. As long as its not taken from me

The kidnappers escaping alive wasnt even a considered outcome.
