The Rebirth of the Hero’s Party’s Archmage Chapter 28

Episode 28

After lightly preparing to go to the black market, I left the school gate.

What’s unique about it is that the left hand is bandaged because of the image barrier rune that sometimes glows at will?

I was walking along, enjoying the flower-scented spring sunlight, and at that moment, a group of eccentric adventurers appeared before my eyes.

“what? Oh, let it go, won’t you let this go? hey!”

And he was instantly kidnapped by a big man who wrote him as a monster and read it as a bat… … Even the Adventurer’s Guild building.

“No, they said they were giving a commendation for what happened last time, but I thought it wouldn’t be right for you, the main character, to be left out.”

As I was struggling while being held on to Bart’s shoulder, Rem, who was walking next to me, chuckled and explained.

“I understand, so please put me down first.”

“No, it’s a human palanquin. “The main character should be treated like this.”

“I do not need! Okay, do you really have to get that?”

“It wasn’t just at the branch level, it was from the southern headquarters of the Alliance, brother.”

“At headquarters?”

The adventurer branch was located in District 2, where the lowest government office was located. However, on the site in front of it, there was a platform for the main characters and a wooden fence for onlookers.

Outside the fence, not only adventurers but also passers-by and merchants were gathered around and whispering, wondering what was going on.

When the Bart party arrived, union employees jokingly invited the four people to the stage, and uncomfortable looks poured in from all directions.

“Black Iron Batne.”

“The bowman next to me is Rem of the Drunken Temple.”

“But what is that wizard?”

“Black hair, red eyes… … Doesn’t it seem like the genius Confucius of the Ludwig family has a cute personality?”

“Hey, would you say that Sega’s successor is crazy for being an adventurer?”

Woo, what a waste of time.

Lane sighed irritably and spoke to the party members.

“Why did you make such a fuss about how great it was back then?”

“It’s a big deal.”

Rem, who was happily enjoying the public attention, raised his eyebrows as if he was dumbfounded.

“Bart is a disciple of the Seven Stars and Seven Swords, and I am also a disciple of the Dr. But you blew away the trouble we were both in with one blow.”

“Is it actually possible that Rem is weaker than he thinks?”

Lane asked, tilting his head with pure eyes.

If Keyes had been there, he would have pierced the Rat-Spider Queen’s heart and the dark magic circle with a single arrow woven with magic.

Sammy caught Rem, who was about to kick Lane, with a strange scream and stopped him. Bart chuckled.

“By your standards, it might seem that way. However, neither I nor Rem ever felt inadequate while being promoted to silver level. Until last time… … .”

Bart muttered in a bitter tone and withdrew a smile from his mouth.

Almost at the same time, a powerful presence that made the hair on our skin stand on end swept across the area like the wind, causing the onlookers to straighten their backs without realizing it.

And when the branch door opened, faint exclamations came out from all over.

“and… … ?!”

“Well, that person… … ?!”

“It’s Palace Leoren… … !”

The being dispatched from the southern headquarters of the Alliance Empire was none other than Palace Leoren.

The empire gathered the best warriors of the time under the emperor, gave them enormous power and honor, and at the same time assigned them the duty of assisting the emperor. They were called the Four Ministers of the Yellow River.

There are a total of four stars, and they are listed as follows.

Sword Castle, Spear Castle, Palace Castle, and Magic Castle.

Sometimes they were produced from famous families or dojos, but more often than not, they were chosen from among adventurers.

No, I should say there is no difference. Most people who came out of famous families or dojos became adventurers.

“uh… … ?”

Rain, who had been watching the situation indifferently, couldn’t help but open his mouth the moment he saw Leoren’s features and armor.

His hair was messy and green, as if he had just woken up from a nap, and his eyes were sparkling brightly. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s.

His beard grew sparsely and messy, as he only trimmed it once in a while, giving an idea of ​​his lazy personality.

‘Keys… … .’

However, his facial features and personality traits were very similar to Keyes, who was Lane’s colleague 300 years ago.

Above all, that bow with life vines wrapped around its pure white bowstring on its back… … It was clearly Serwebon, Keyes’ White Spear Palace made from branches of the World Tree.

As I was looking at it blankly, Leolen came up to me yawning as if he was about to die of sleepiness, and his eyes widened.

“No, who is this?”

On the other hand, Rem, who received that gaze, made a disgusted expression and desperately waved her hand as if to go away.

“W-what is it?”

“This, this, this, what on earth is our cutie doing here?”

“You’re looking at the wrong person.”

“You left the dojo, dyed your hair, and started living the life of an adventurer, haha! Are you saying you will follow me? “Do you give permission to your brother?”

“—Ah, it’s noisy, really. “Go away!”

Leoren, who was holding his stomach and bursting out in laughter, playfully tapped Rem on the head as if he knew and then turned to look at Bart.

“Hmm, I can tell just by looking at it. “You are the leader of this party.”

“exactly.”

“I heard you defeated that mutant, and it looks really strong.”

“… … .”

“That tomboy bothers you a lot, doesn’t he? “Please take care of me.”

“Rem and I are in the party. He doesn’t have anything to ask for. “Because we make up for each other’s shortcomings.”

“I like it even more. “I will reach platinum status soon.”

Leoren patted Bart’s shoulder as if encouraging him.

Before being appointed to the palace, Leoren was an adventurer whose ranking was as high as 6th in the platinum level, and if you look at it, he was an incredibly great senior.

And after saying a brief greeting to Sammy, Leoren came to stand in front of Lane and suddenly tilted his head.

“That’s strange, I think I’ve seen it somewhere before.”

“… … ?”

“No, not the face, but the impression. Let’s look at the documents… … Ludwig? Lane Ludwig? As expected! “Scalzi was that old man’s grandson!”

Since Scalji was a former magic saint, he was close to Leoren in his later years. Leo Ren laughed heartily, and she patted Rain’s head as if she thought it was cute.

“Yes, I’m studying magic, but I’m stuck in a room and my hair is falling out. “If you’re a man, you should know how to play outside.”

“… … .”

“But where are you hurt? “Why is there a bandage on your left hand?”

At that time, Lane couldn’t say anything. He just pursed his lips and suppressed laughter.

To others, it seemed like he didn’t know what to do with the compliments from the royal palace, but that wasn’t the case.

‘If Keyes could talk… … .’

Wouldn’t we have had a conversation like this?

If only Keyes hadn’t had his tongue pulled out and become mute when he gave false testimony in court to save his friend’s life… … .

At that moment, the white spear bow on Leoren’s back pulsated loudly and spewed out the breath of the World Tree in all directions. Leoren was startled and grabbed the bow.

“Why is this guy like this all of a sudden?”

The World Tree, which was breathed with intelligence by the water dragon Yericerica, one of the three divine dragons, is famous as a tree capable of fragmentary thoughts and judgments. The same was true of Baekchang Palace, which was made from branches of the World Tree.

‘long time no see.’

In his heart, Rain gave Baek Chang-gung a greeting for the first time in 300 years.

‘How were you?’

weird… … Leo Ren tried to calm down the magical power by holding onto her bow, but Baek Chang-gung only cried louder.

I’ve never had anything like this before.

While people were whispering, “That’s Serwebon, the White Speargung,” “That’s amazing,” and “The bow of the hero’s party,” Rem shouted at Leoren.

“No, don’t come to give me a commendation and boast about your family heirloom, give it to me quickly and then disappear…” … Yo, a little!”

In the end, Leoren just hung his excited bow on his back and received a commendation from the headquarters attendants.

“In a moment of sudden crisis, you take the lead and help your fellow adventurers… … Why is it so long? Since we did a good job, the adventurer headquarters will award a commendation for the adventurer spirit of the party.”

Ah, that was it.

It seems that Rem and Bart’s actions in desperately protecting the other adventurers at that time were the reason for the commendation, rather than the fact that they captured the queen.

And other adventurers seemed to have made such a grandiose effort to emulate the adventurer spirit of the Assassin.

“The reward is two gold coins, and 500 alliance contribution points are paid to each party member.”

Contribution is 500?

The adventurers clapped and whispered.

“Isn’t this an incredibly extraordinary reward?”

“How many goblins are exterminated by beginners? “Isn’t the contribution level 3?”

“The condition for upgrading from steel to brass is 400 contribution points.”

Sammy, who was standing next to him, let out a laugh.

“Congratulations, brother. “It’s been so long since I became an adventurer that I can already get my brass badge back.”

Is this something worth celebrating?

I have no intention of succeeding as an adventurer, so… … Still, it’s better than nothing.

“This is enough, right? I have a lot of work to do. “You guys take care of the rest.”

Leoren, completely ignoring the rest of the protocol, wrapped his arms around Rem’s neck and dragged him somewhere, giggling. As soon as that happened, many adventurers came and sent love calls to Bart.

“You defeated the queen this time?”

“Come to our guild, Bart. “The guild master really promised to treat me well?”

“As a reward for this contribution, Rem will also reach the silver level. Come to our guild with Rem. “I promise you better conditions than anywhere else.”

Of course, no attention was paid to Samina Lane, who played the role of bridesmaid. I know she caught it using a scroll, so it would be natural.

‘If I wait and say hello and then part ways, I think I’ll be bothered by the after-party and all… … .’

Looking at Rem and Bart surrounded by guild officials, Lane quietly stepped into the crowd.

‘Let’s quickly get a book from the black market and focus on training in magic. ‘You must have the magical power to use the image barrier.’

My heart was full of excitement.

No, I couldn’t do anything since yesterday. Even if I tried to practice magical power, I couldn’t concentrate… … .

Camitishia.

– Imagination barrier, flow world.

– Required magic power: 20,000 (Warning – Current caster’s magic power: 12,564).

I cannot fully explain the Image Barrier because it is a state that only two wise men in this world have reached.

“It is said that humans cannot rule over the whole world like gods because they lack awareness of the truth, but the story is different in the world of images where one is the creator.”

These were the words written by Riot Warden, the second sage who reached the rank of Renpage (6th star), in his book, “Towards the Truth.”

It is said that he did not reach Shinseiji (7th star) like the first sage Emissa Page, but it goes without saying that he is still a great person.

And now a similar force has come to me… … My heart started beating faster and the smile couldn’t disappear from my face.

‘The combination success rate of 33% and the power increase of 66% are probably because it is still a trial version. When you really reach 6 stars, the story will be different.’

So, let’s finish the work as quickly as possible and go practice magic… … It was a time when my steps naturally became faster.

“Lane Ludwig forgery, if you go that way, you won’t be able to get to the secret market!”

The voice was so loud that it seemed as if the whole world could hear it, and Lane had to stop in shock for a moment.

Black market… … ?

weird. No one told me I was going there, no, there was just one person. Karen, the librarian.

“As the ‘Golden Children’ movement became more active, black market operators in this city ran rampant. “It’s a temporary closure, that’s it!”

Who is it? When I turned around, feeling my cold heartbeat, I saw a man.

Wearing tattered ocher-colored robes and an old fedora, the man grinned when our eyes met.

He then removed the trumpet he had made from his mouth and approached, waving his hand affectionately as if he were a friend he had not seen in a long time.

“I came from the magic blind. Would you mind taking a moment?”
