Chapter 110

In the large room, Cadel, Van, Lumen, and Lydon, who had returned to his normal size, were gathered together, and serious voices were heard among them.

“If the information Sir Garuel gave me is true, there is no better way.”

“Don’t worry, Commander. Your mana will come back, the only question is where to find a magician who can imbue you with mana.......”

Lumen and Van racked their brains, trying to find a way to regain Cadel’s mana as quickly as possible. Their worried faces were serious.

Cadel, looking at those subordinates in turns, pointed to a huge fairy lying around behind him. Updated chapters on novelbin(.)com

“If it’s a magician, we have one here.”

“......Lydon?”

“You said Lydon’s powers were sealed. Shouldn’t he be running low on mana?”

Even though Lydon had half of his powers sealed away, it was a downgrade from being an ‘overwhelming genius’ to a person of ‘regrettable ordinary talent’. In fact, in this battle, Lydon used a variety of powerful magic spells and never once failed.

He should have enough mana to fill the mana vessel in his body. With that thought, Cadel looked back at Lydon.

Still sprawled out in a debauched position, he stared at Cadel with a deep look in his eyes.

“Lydon, can you do this for me? I just need you to infuse me with your mana until my mana returns.”

It wasn’t that difficult, and there was nothing to lose. All it would take was a little care, and Cadel was sure that Lydon would grant the favor without much thought. However.

“Why should I?”

Lydon widened his eyes as if there was really no reason to do so. An innocent question with no malice. It was rather Cadel who was embarrassed.

“Why....... You’re in the same mercenary corps? We should help each other when we need help!”

“Hmm, maybe in a fight, but I’m not interested in that, and a Cadel who can’t use magic is no fun.”

It was a firm refusal indeed. Cadel was speechless, his lips pursed. Van and Lumen, enraged on his behalf, denounced Lydon, saying ‘Let’s dispose of that piece of junk right now’ and ‘He’s a damned fairy who’s been ungrateful from the start’. Their anger did not dissuade Lydon.

‘I never thought Lydon would come out like this. It’s difficult. If I find another magician here, I will be bound to the White Kingdom unconditionally.’

In addition, Lydon’s attitude was also a problem. As soon as Cadel was judged incapable of recovering, it seemed that he would leave in search of another ‘fun’ to satisfy his curiosity.

How much pain he had suffered for being a guardian he had never been before! The feeling of betrayal made his teeth tremble.

“Are you really going to listen to anything?”

Cadel lifted his head, his nose crushed against Lydon’s hard chest, and saw a kind face looking down at him. Lydon was a radiant beauty that just by looking at him, Cadel’s eyesight seemed to improve, but only interest overflowed in Lydon’s gaze toward him.

Cadel nodded hesitantly, and the corners of Lydon’s mouth moved up in a charming arc.

“There’s no taking back, Cadel. It’s a promise.”

After completing the main quest, Cadel planned to collect more reputation through sub-quests in the White Kingdom. For the upcoming knight order promotion quest.

However, with a body that had lost mana, it was impossible to properly fulfill the sub-quests. So should he give up the reputation? Ridiculous.

Cadel intended to rake up the reputation somehow, and at last, came up with one possibility.

“You want me to check the condition of the Baskin Village’s villagers?”

“Please, Van. I blew up their whole village, and all their homes and farmland are gone. If there’s anything I can do to help, I’d like to, okay?”

“No one’s going to blame Commander for that.......”

“Just see if they need anything.”

“All right, Commander. Then take a good rest in the meantime.”

Substitute quest progress using his subordinates.

He wasn’t sure about the main quests, but the degree of occurrence of sub-quests might be possible to activate through the members. Cadel sent Van to check.

In fact, accepting the quest itself was more certain and more convenient if Cadel did it himself. However.

‘If they find out I’m well enough to walk around, I’ll be meeting with the King, and I’d like to put that off as long as possible.’

He was avoiding the King’s audience by pretending to be a weak patient in front of the healer who visited periodically. Since he was in such a situation, it was unreasonable for him to go looking for sub-quests on his own.

And the system window popped up, just as Cadel had hoped.

「Knight ‘Van Herdos’ has discovered the sub-quest ‘Uncomfortable Legs’ !」

「Upon acceptance, the quest will proceed.」
