The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 127

127 - 122.JJ-1

127 – 122.JJ-1

The Red Scales, followers of the Red Dragon, have been making wanted flyers.

Even though it was a montage based on Ignit’s remarks, the degree of completion was quite high.

I guess I should say my face is known to them.

It’s cumbersome, but if you disguise yourself with magic, I don’t think there’s much fear of being caught.

On the other hand, in the case of the magic tower, it was chasing my mana.

A while ago, I burned all the belongings of the wizard I killed, but unfortunately one of the items seemed to be far away.

Because of that, I couldn’t burn all of them, so my mana remained in my belongings.

Based on this, the Magic Tower defines me as a murderer and is pursuing me.

Because mana is unique, approaching the pursuer will reveal it.

In contrast, unlike the Red Scales, they do not know their faces.

If you suppress your mana and stay far away, you won’t notice it.

“If it stays like this, one or the other will get caught.”

[Didn’t you say there was a countermeasure?]

“Ah, of course not”

The point to note here is that the crimson scales and the magic tower have different criteria for selecting me.

Red scales are appearance, magic tower is mana.

Other than this, they couldn’t identify me.

What does this mean?

If you disguise your identity, you can have fun.

“It would be impossible to fool the red scales.”

Of course, the Mage Tower prefers magic and hates swordsmanship.

At the time I met Ignit, I was holding a sword.

Therefore, it was foolish to deceive the red scales by saying that I belonged to the Mage Tower.

But what about the opposite?

“Thinking that I, who murdered the wizard, am the Red Scale Tribe.”

[Certainly, if it’s the magic tower, there’s a possibility. But will the serpent-like mage tower be fooled?]

“That’s why we have to make the situation meticulous so that there is no choice but to be deceived.”

There were countless methods of interfering with each other stored in my head.

I used to live as a modern keyboard warrior.

For me, who has heard stories of novel gaslighting by modern people, it is not even a matter of making the two forces hostile.

“Before that, though, I should prepare steadily from the bottom work.”

I am confident that if I put the plan into action, it will succeed unconditionally.

As such, the preparation process was the most important and dangerous.

Because there were two beings in the city looking for me.

Avoiding their eyes and getting ready was the key to this operation.

“Something good is on its way here just in time.”

A crow knocking on the window upon returning home.

He was a messenger working to communicate with Hades.

The contents of the note tied to the messenger were the news that they would arrive in Yuran today or tomorrow.

Hades is the first-class contributor who brought Kang Jun-hyeok down, and he is a highly loyal confidant who thoroughly listens to my demands.

‘With Hades’ help, this operation can be carried out without incident.’

[By the way. When are you going to reward such a great subordinate?]

‘Mmm…. It sure seems like I just rolled it around too much.’

[Give me a simple reward. Otherwise, the loyalty you had will also disappear.]

‘I’ll try my best.’

A good ruler should know how to praise his subordinates for their hard work.

I know it in my head, but it wasn’t easy.

I don’t know if I should give Demilich the necessary reward or she should give the reward worthy of the beautiful girl Hades.

Isn’t it strange to give Richie cosmetics or accessories as a gift?

Above all, I don’t know what reward a demi-rich would be satisfied with.

If it’s Hades, it will grow on its own without my involvement.

In addition, those who reached a high level had strong magical dominance, so there was no need to teach them separately.

In the first place, the part where I am superior to him in magic is nothing other than freezing magic.

Because the freezing magic became stronger through the expedient of becoming a follower of Freehardt.

Anyway, I decided to think carefully about the reward later.

She should just ask what she wants and pay for it.

Now we have to make the plan a success.

“Then let’s start soon!”

I’ll show you what riot is.

***

‘How long do I have to stay in a city like this, I’m dying of annoyance!’

Karifa walks the streets with a ledger in one hand and a ledger in the other.

She visited Sestia’s house two days ago and received her list of wizards, and she was still wandering around the city.

Remnants of mana still remained in the village.

She couldn’t return to the Mage’s Tower until she found the culprit who killed the auditor.

From noble mtl dot com

‘If that cheeky b*tch dragon had actively helped, it would have ended a long time ago… !’

Carifa, who had been kicked out after only receiving her list of wizards from Sestia, was dissatisfied with that.

The seven wizards who built the Mage Tower. Kharifa, their descendant, was originally going to participate in a large-scale project.

However, as the wizards involved in the abduction of the elven saint went missing, manpower became insufficient.

To make matters worse, the high-ranking auditor and S-class mercenary who left for the Valley of Mist disappeared this time.

After hearing a series of disappearance accidents, the owner of the Mage Tower decided that there was an entity hostile to the Mage Tower.

That’s why he ordered Carifa to investigate the whole incident.

‘That’s why we can’t ignore the order of the tower lord…….’

She wandered around the missing places and luckily found the evidence.

The only proof.

It was a waste of time and effort to give up on this, and I was afraid of being scolded by the owner of the mage tower.

In the end, Carifa made up her mind that she would not go back until her culprit was caught.

‘Make sure to catch it. Certainly!’

So, I hope she shows up at least once.

Just as she was thinking that, the familiar scent of her mana passed Caripa’s nose.

She opened her eyes, sharpening her olfactory nerves to catch her reverberation.

“This smell… !”

This is the mana she was looking for.

The scent of the culprit who undoubtedly killed the high-ranking auditor.

Only then did Caripa lift the corners of her mouth and rejoice.

After two days of chasing after her, she finally found the thick mana.

‘Unexpectedly close… ! I can chase after her now!’

Caripa started running hastily, turning her body in the direction of the mana.

She ran like a man who discovered an oasis in the desert.

I ran into an alleyway where people were rare.

I voluntarily entered a dark space that would not be strange no matter what happened.

“I didn’t expect you to be stupid enough to fall for such an obvious trap.”

As we entered the alleyway, a profound male voice came from above.

Caripa turned her head to look up at the roof of the building, where a man with a red hood covering her face was squatting.

The mana that subtly emanated from him matched the mana that remained on the bloody badge.

No doubt. He is the culprit in the murder of the auditor.

“Oh my gosh, I was desperate and made this critical mistake without realizing it.”

“Then you will have to pay for your mistakes, right?”

“Do you think you will be treated as you please? It is true that I entered the trap irresponsibly, but it does not mean that I did not prepare at all.”

Karifa had already finished the magic chant before entering the alley.

The magic that ends when it manifests is stored in [Memorize], So she can attack and defend at any time.

I rushed at the thought that the traces might disappear, but I wasn’t completely ignorant.

“I don’t know what trap they set, but if it’s not a magic null artifact, you’d better give up early. Even if it’s magic nullified, if you’re investing it to catch that one, I’ll tell you it’s your loss.”

Magical Nullification Artifacts are very expensive as there are few of them in the world.

Furthermore, there was a non-permanent limit on the number of times, so it consumed nearly 500 gold each time it was used.

It was too much of a waste to spend just to catch one wizard.

“Foot! I don’t use such trivial tricks.”

“Is that so? Then, unfortunately, the trap you prepared is useless…….”

“Well, is that so? For me, just bringing you here is a success.”

“What?”

The man in the red hood jumped lightly from the roof and landed on the ground.

The man who dealt with the auditor and the S-class mercenary. If you don’t attack first, you will be defeated.

Seeing that, Khalifa manifested her magic…….

“Did you think that you could launch a preemptive strike just because you prepared in advance?”

“Ah… ? Kyaaa!!”

Squeak-!

Karifa’s wrist was cut obliquely and fell off.

Because of that, the magic circle that was being implemented was broken and the magic was disturbed.

“Your magic tower is complacent. You must have been planning to secretly rule the world, but do you think Ignit-sama will just watch it?”

“What… ?”

“Wake up, I know all about your grand plans. No matter how much you fly and crawl, you are still in the palm of a dragon.”

“Seo, I can’t believe this was all concocted by the Redscales… ?”

“If so, what would you do? You will die here anyway.”

The relationship between the Magic Tower and the Red Dragon was smooth.

No ill feelings, no goodwill, just just knowing each other.

Because of that, I thought there would be no friction in the future.

However, the red dragon had a reason to attack the mage tower.

The grandiose plan mentioned by the man.

It was a plan to become an existence that could not be approached by dragons or even gods.

From the point of view of the dragon, which has always reigned as the strongest race, it must have been considered disrespectful.

It wouldn’t be strange if he stepped on the mage tower right away.

However, I couldn’t understand how the red dragon knew the top secret that only 8 people in the Mage Tower knew.

‘I have to inform the owner of the tower right away. What should I do?’

The man possessed overwhelming force.

Can you fight against the ability to slash your own wrists faster than magic?

Of course it was impossible.

Attack magic will be hit before it even manifests, and defensive magic will be crushed like tofu.

I was certain that the Hearthstone, the last bastion, would break as soon as I took it out.

I had to create a momentary gap somehow, but I couldn’t.

‘All it takes is a short gap… !’

But the sky was indifferent and the man was slowly approaching to kill Carifa.

As if the death sentence was approaching.

“Hmm…. It would be okay if I killed her like this, but her beauty and body are too good to kill right away.”

“Huh?”

“Before I kill you, I will use it as a s*xual treatment and kill you. It’s piled up after staying in a foreign country for a long time.”

A man who smiles wickedly and smacks his lips.

Karifa saw this and saw it as an opportunity.

The present, which seemed to die without fail, was the only present that could create a gap.

She took off her coat and untied her clothes without being told to do so.

“Are you trying to seduce me? If you think that it will save you, you are mistaken.”

“Oh, please don’t get me wrong. If I’m going to die in vain anyway, I also want to enjoy the end.”

“Ha! What a fun woman you are.”

“Do you hate aggressive women?”

“Not bad. Then, where should we receive the sincere service of a city woman?”

The man removed her hand from her handle and placed her hand on the zipper of her trousers.

Kari Pado pretended to unhook the hook on her bra and touched the stone she had put inside her underwear.

“…… Hot! Yes two years!”

“Unfortunately, my body is expensive. It’s a waste to give it up to a savage like you!”

“How dare you cheat on me… !”

“hahahaha! Those who are deceived are fools!”

Karifa’s body shuddered as it was wrapped in light.

As a sign that appeared when her hearthstone was activated, the man hurriedly took out her sword and swung it.

However, before the sword touched Kharifa’s body, she disappeared.

She is a man who was left alone.

He looked up at the sky indifferently, but then loosened his hood.

“Whoa… ! I had a hard time putting up with the smell of the chicken coop.”

[I think I was seriously trying to attack you…….]

“You are mistaken. I hate a woman who smears her face with makeup like that.”

[Oh, I need to update the contractor’s taste.]

“I really….”

Vern shook her head from side to side saying she couldn’t stop it.

He put pressure on Carifa as she put on her full performance.

She could have killed her at any time if she had her heart, but she made her choice to free her.

Only to make the plan a success.

“First of all, the first step was completed without incident. You have definitely planted the seeds of doubt.”

[Do you think the Mage Tower will deceive you?]

“Of course, you wouldn’t immediately believe something like this. So we nurture the seeds of doubt so that they can bloom the flowers of confidence.”

[This is the beginning.]

“Ah, until the day the Mage Tower and the Red Scale Tribe fight.”

I will move busily and separate from behind.

Bern was smiling brighter than usual.
