EPISODE.102

.
A few days after Russell and Muyaho left the capital. Around the time when I was crossing the border of Endymion as well as the royal capital.
“Hmm. Hmmmm.”
Daria was checking the letters in front of her while humming.
From an invitation to a banquet from a nearby lord to forums held in various parts of the kingdom.
Squeak squeak.
Daria’s hum stopped in an instant as she checked the destination of the letters in order.
The same goes for hand movements.
“Hoo. The youngest sent me a letter.”
Because there was ‘Russell Raymond’ among the list of senders. He was the kind of guy who never sent a letter wherever he went.
I never thought I would send a letter so suddenly.
‘I wonder what the contents will be written.’
After a while, Daria tilted her head.
For some reason, the date stamped on the envelope of the letter was strange.
‘Kingdom Power XXX… On this day—?’
Wasn’t it the day Russell and Muyaho left the capital?
If I sent a letter, I would only send it after leaving the capital and entering the kingdom of Akain.
Feeling something strange, Daria hurriedly opened the letter.
Tuk-tuk-.
Daria’s eyebrows trembled as she threw the ripped outer bag on the floor and read the contents inside.
“This…”
Then, turning pale instead of red, she snarled, clutching the letter in her hand.
“You fucking youngest bastard!”
A harsh word spoken for the first time after accepting Russell as a disciple. It has to be.
What was written in the letter was as shocking as it was.
There are long words written, but if you summarize the contents, they are really simple words.
‘I’m going to visit the empire.’
Roughly, the lengthy words of the contents were written in the letter. I want to jump out right away and grab the back of the back and bring it back.
But what can I do?
If this amount of time had passed, he would surely have left the territory of Endymion and entered the kingdom of Akain by now.
So, unable to cool down her anger, she screamed in anger.
“When I return, I’ll break the clubs so that I can’t go out for a while!!”
Unlike anger, his eyes were full of concern.
* * *
At that time, Russell lightly scratched his ear as he waited for a ship headed for Akain near the border of Endymion.
“Why?”
At that question, Muyaho, who was drinking the blue drink from the glass, asked.
“no. I feel like someone is cursing me.”
“who? Are you swearing at males?”
“Someone can guess, but…”
Russell grinned at the guilt he had committed.
‘Perhaps the letter I sent that day has reached Master by now.’
Wasn’t it a letter sent with an additional fee, including the option to specify the date of arrival?
I could see that he was angry and worried, but he couldn’t help it.
‘If I had said that I was going to the Empire from the beginning, I wouldn’t have let you go.’
Even so, it bothered me not to inform them, so I chose this method.
“hmm.”
Muyaho, who drooled as if he didn’t understand Russell’s words, sucked the drink placed in front of him repeatedly.
The height of the drink, which resembles the blue sea level, is rapidly lowering. Muyaho let out an exclamation as he heard the sound of the ice clattering.
“Kyaa! It’s a very tasty drink. cock. It is sweeter and more delicious than any palm tree I have ever eaten in my life.”
“It’s called blue soda.”
“Blue soda. In particular, it is a drink with a taste that pops in the mouth.”
Perhaps her ears were twitching with joy, and her bread hat, which she had worn down tightly, moved up and down.
‘I’ll have to board the boat soon, so it’s better to hand it over in advance.’
Seeing that, Russell opened a subspace. He took out two silver rings and handed them to Muyaho.
“Muyaho. Could you please put this on before getting on the boat?”
“Bar ring…!”
“Yes, it is a ring enchanted with camouflage that changes its appearance.”
Let’s wear a ring as if it were a demonstration. Hwaaak-.
A light wave of magical energy rose from the inside of the robe that covered her head.
Seruk-.
Taking off the robe revealed Russell, who was clearly completely different from before.
Silver Blond.
Russell’s hair, which should have been black, had changed to platinum blonde with a hint of turbidity.
Moreover, even his eyes, which used to be red eyes, glowed like a sword like obsidian.
“I heard that about 1/2 of the northerners living in the frozen land above the desert have white hair and dark eyes.”
If he disguised himself like this, he wouldn’t be able to think of Russell or Endymion.
“Hehe. That’s what you do.”
After feeling slightly embarrassed for some reason, she giggled as if she was having fun at Russell’s change and put the ring on her finger.
Anger-.
Likewise, a light flow of magical energy sweeps from head to toe.
“What is this? cock.”
As she looked at herself in the mirror hanging on the wall of the cafe, she made a puzzled expression.
“I’m the only one who hasn’t changed much.”
A change that only changed her skin, which was reminiscent of chocolate mixed with milk, to white and applied transparency magic to her ears and tail.
“Because Muyaho-nim is enough with just that much.”
She already had hair close to ash gray and black eyes, and that alone made her look like a northern tundra.
‘If they’re going to camouflage anyway, it’d be better for both of them to look like people from the same neighborhood.’
As if regretting it, Muyaho licked his lips.
“I thought my hair color would change to a flashy color, but I’m disappointed.”
Then, he sipped the last drop of blue soda in front of him and said.
“What happened? If you buy me another bottle of this soda, I’ll be content with that.”
Woo-.
At that moment, a boat horn sounded from the port side. Along with him, a ship coming into the harbor from the far sea.
“It’s not a problem to buy it, but I think I’ll have to do it with takeout.”
Woo-woo-.
A ship was arriving to send them to the land of Akain.
Boo-!
* * *
After several days of voyage, it was not difficult for Russell and Muyaho to get off the ship and enter the country of commerce.
Still, as a country, it was natural to have to prove your identity during the entry process…
‘Easy.’
It was so easy to pass through just by stabbing the money in moderation.
‘This must be what a country with a deep rooted world behind it looks like.’
It was a situation that could not even be dreamed of in Endymion.
Perhaps the route to the empire through the upper kingdom is no different.
“I need to get a room first.”
After getting off the ship, Russell and Muyaho headed toward an accommodation facility with a pretty good appearance nearby.
“It looks like a newlywed couple, so one room is enough, isn’t it?”
Muyaho’s lips trembled at the words of the owner who asked with an unknown dialect.
“Boo couple couple couple…”
Anyway, Russell replied with a single word.
“I think I need some personal time today, so please go to each room.”
Being misunderstood as a married couple is something that can be added to the disguised status, so if it didn’t matter, it was a bit like using one shot.
The innkeeper clicked his tongue at Russell’s reaction.
“her. I don’t know what’s going on, but it seems like you’ve come to the gods. It seems like you had a couple fight and you solved it moderately quickly. My wife is also a great beauty, so it’s not a good thing to leave a lot of pleasant memories here.”
“Thanks for the advice.”
After the work on the first floor of the lodging facility was finished, Muyaho, who had followed him as he went up to the floor where each of his rooms were located, stuck out his mouth and grumbled.
“joy. What’s the point of asking for separate rooms when you say that you’re a couple and you won’t deny that it’s good for you if you share one room?”
grumble, grumble, grumble.
Climbing the stairs at the sound that was clear to anyone to listen, he stopped and recited the condition that Russell had walked before leaving Endymion.
“In any situation, please put my judgment first and act according to my words.”
“…joy.”
There was a promise made with my mouth, so Muyaho also couldn’t say anything and kept his mouth shut with the corners of his mouth stretched down.
Muyaho, who had arrived in front of his room for a while waiting for the silence to continue like that, stopped entering the door and hesitated.
I turned my head to look at Russell and asked.
“So what are you going to do from now on? cock?”
Judging from the male Russell’s behavior so far, there must be a clear reason why he insisted on going to the third country, saying he was going to the empire.
At Muyaho’s question, Russell shrugged and answered.
“For now, I’m going to rest in my room until the sun goes down.”
“for now?”
That is to say, there is work to be done after the sun goes down.
[yes. And after that…]
Russell pursed his lips, and along with the message magic, his voice flowed into Muyaho’s ears.
[I’m going to create a fake identity.]
That’s why Russell, a city where the other side of the country is illegal, visited the Akkadian trade country.
.
.
The sunset, which had heated the ridge red, gradually faded and a twilight darkness spread.
It was about time that a few impatient stars began to shine, lighting up the sky that hadn’t yet completely fallen.
After a simple meal, Muyaho left the inn and asked Russell.
[So, how do you create a disguised identity?]
It was a voice transmission method using the wavelength of aura, also called transmission in the East, a skill different from message magic.
[First of all… we need to contact the guild of the dark side.]
[The guild of the dark side?]
[Yes.]
These guilds are often represented by thieves’ guilds or information guilds.
The problem is that I don’t know how to contact the guild of the shadowy side of the upper country of Akain.
‘If I don’t know, I have no choice but to make them find me.’
If there was a way to do it, it was in my head.
The place Russell headed with Muyaho was a street that looked full of pleasure at a glance.
Even though the sun hadn’t completely set yet, women with half-naked clothes gesticulated everywhere.
In addition, from the entrance of the alley to the thick smell of opium and other drugs.
“Sniff.”
Muyaho twitched the tip of his nose as if he didn’t like it all.
It is said that the country is maintained through the shadows, and it is in the middle of the city. I would have thought that such an entertainment district would exist not too far from the city.
“Isn’t it an annoying place?”
Leaving behind Muyaho’s grunt, Russell looked around.
After half a beat, he found the signboard he wanted and stopped his gaze.
“I’ll go over there at once.”
Where Russell’s steps are headed.
Decorating the exterior of the building at the far end is a playing card that is bigger than most people.
Casino.
Russell’s steps were going straight toward the so-called gambling hall.
‘It’s been a while… I guess I’ll have to spend some money.’
In the past, for one reason or another, I lived a life of poverty where I could not spend money properly, but now the situation was different.
It had not only the right to collect hundreds of thousands of lakes, but also a huge duchy.
‘I didn’t have anything to spend money on, so I saved a lot.’
If you add the dividend of the Michelin top, which is growing significantly every year, the cash accumulated by Russell must be astronomical!
Recalling the slip from the Michelin Merchant Company that Duduk Aspace had brought, Russell made a small complaint.
‘I didn’t expect to have to spend the money I’ve saved like this, but…’
I couldn’t help it.
Because now was the time to spend money.
“Let’s go in for luxury.”
Somehow hiding the bitterness in his stomach, Russell exclaimed cheerfully.
‘Is the fun of life in Tangjin Jam?’
The sound of the new wizards who had just joined the Mage’s Tower, whispering “Gazua” on payday came to mind.
It was his turn to experience the tangjin jam himself.
