I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

186. Losing One’s Soul by Accident Means Death (2)

“Shinsu…You mean? “The divine beast I know?”

Tom looked at me with his eyes wide, probably quite surprised by my answer.

“You’re right. “To be exact, I’m looking for the phoenix.”

“Her. A phoenix. “Wasn’t that only a legend?”

“It really exists. They said it was last discovered in the northern part of the country.”

If it was Gura, I wouldn’t have moved. He was probably thinking about how to beat Harpas while escorting the kids.

Anyway, as in the original work, the presence of a phoenix was essential among the requirements for killing Harpas. While Harpas is the embodiment of death, destruction, and war, the Phoenix is a symbol of rebirth and resurrection.

To kill Harpas, it was necessary to counterbalance his power, so he had to enlist the help of his counterpart, the Phoenix.

If possible, the first priority is to drag the main body and block it, and if that is not possible, I had to receive the protection of the Phoenix and escape from Harpas’ power, even if only by myself.

As I said, as long as I am alive, I will be able to kill Harpas somehow.

“Phoenix…You are looking for something truly amazing. There was a time when I made a fuss about looking for a dragon…”

Are you planning to tell some kind of epic story? I stuffed the remaining food into my mouth and waited for the words of the coachman, who surprisingly had ties to a famous archmage on the continent.

“Have you ever seen a dragon?”

“No.”

“Dragon really. It’s really big.”

It’s big. The really big one was about the size of a small village. If you swing your front foot roughly, the academy will be devastated. Of course, this is a story from a game, so I don’t know what it would be like in real life.

It could be stronger, or it could be weaker.

Still, I was glad I didn’t have to catch it. Even if you hit max level and do all the settings, the toughest thing is the dragon, so trying to catch it in real life is crazy. I just hope this crazy status window doesn’t just tell me to hunt dragons.

“Have you met in person?”

“It was an experience I will never forget. Even these days, I still think of that incident sometimes. It was a really clear and sunny day… One day, a dragon appeared in the village where we were staying. With just one snort, he turned the village into a sea of fire.

The eyes were so scary that once our eyes met, my body lost all strength. If it weren’t for Merlin, I would have died.”

“You managed to survive.”

“Having Merlin as a friend was the best choice of my life.”

I stood up when I saw him looking out the window with sunken eyes, probably remembering what happened back then. It was good for him to relax, but he had work to do.

“Do you know any good grocery stores?”

“If you go east from the center of this town, there will be a sign for Vasily’s Grocery Store. The people there are generous and the prices are cheap, so go there. “I’m going to get some rest.”

“Take a good rest. “I have to start my journey again tomorrow.”

————————–

[Contractor, look at that. The land is completely white!]

Like a child, at Lue’s urging, I opened my eyes and looked out the window. As she said, outside the window was literally a snowy field. I could make hundreds of igloos with this amount.

“White trash, no, there’s a scary amount of snow.”

Now that we had arrived at a place covered in snow, it started to get colder inside the tightly sealed carriage. Should I take out the blanket? After thinking for a moment, I took out a neatly folded blanket, unfolded it, and wrapped it around my body.

In an extreme environment, careless actions could take one’s life in an instant, so it was advantageous to act boldly and quickly.

[I heard your eyes are cold? I can’t wait to touch it~]

“You will be disappointed when you actually touch it.”

[Don’t destroy expectations like that!]

Are you a child? I took Lue’s attention her her away from her window and looked out of it, took some of her beef jerky her out of her backpack her and put it in her her mouth her her her her.

There’s really nothing to do.

Apart from mealtimes, there was really nothing to do but just ride the carriage along the road. If I had company, I would have chatted at least, but unfortunately, Lue was a rather unsuitable person to chat with.

Should I just sleep a little more?

I quietly closed my eyes and waited for my consciousness to sink to the bottom. Anyway, I’ll wake you up after some time, so I’ll just sleep some more. It was the moment when I was about to fall asleep.

[Ahh! I’m surprised!]

Oh my, it’s my butt.

I grabbed my butt and opened the carriage door. When I got out of the carriage, I saw Tom clicking his tongue on one of the carriage wheels.

“Some crazy b*stard left a rock on the road. Ha…”

“Is the wheel broken?”

“Okay. “This is so embarrassing.”

“Do you have any spare wheels?”

“There is, but…”

“Where are you?”

“It’s in the luggage compartment. But what are you going to do on your own? It’s not like I can do it on my own-“

Instead of answering, I took the carriage wheel out of the luggage compartment and examined it closely.

It’s about four spans long and made of oak. It didn’t seem like it would be that difficult to fix. I held up the wagon wheel, sat in front of the broken wheel, and used the skill.

“Repair.”

“…What. “Did you have the skill?”

“Yes.”

“I understand why Principal Merlin likes you.”

I took a last look at the carriage wheel, which was still intact, and got up.

“Is this no problem?”

“I see. “I should have known about this since I was good at shoveling, but I’m taking a great person with me.”

Tom said in a playful voice and got back on the coach seat.

“Okay, let’s start again.”

I got straight into the carriage and closed my eyes again.

Anyway, you won’t be able to see anything except the snowy field outside the window for a while.

[Contractor, look at that! Are they following us?]

…But if you think like that, something happens. I opened my eyes to see the carriage starting to shake again and looked out the window.

What is that?

I stared at something writhing in the snow. It was difficult to determine the identity of the wriggling creature because it was covered in snow and was quite far away.

I took out a telescope from the backpack I had left confirmed aside and the identity of the pursuer in the distance.

“…A human being.”

These are humans hiding their fangs and approaching the pure white snow field. I quietly took out a shovel, looking at the approaching humans hiding in the snow.

It’s annoying.

[Contractor, is that a person?]

“They are bandits.”

[Wow, there really were bandits.]

I opened a small window through which I could communicate with the driver and spoke to Tom.

“It looks like there are bandits.”

“Huh, bad luck.”

“If I leave it, it will be a bother, so I will deal with it and leave. “You’re hiding in the carriage.”

“Okay.”

With those words, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Eventually, as the carriage slowed down, I looked around at the bandits, or rather wolves, appearing from all directions.

Is the state of armament limited to a bow and simple armament? I quietly adjusted the shovel and extended it.

The number is… Eight.

I naturally left the search to Lue, who was hanging on my belt.

[There are 8 people. I don’t think there are any wizards.]

There’s no reason for a wizard to bandit. Even the lowest level wizard has a lot to do. I spoke to the bandits surrounding me as if I had done this once or twice.

“If you say something without knowing the topic, it won’t end well.”

“Under. Wow. What does this guy say?”

“If I spoke without knowing the topic, it wouldn’t be a good thing.”

What are these third-rate villains that seem to have been drawn by me? I sarcastically threw the shovel at the guy who was tearing things apart.

“Tongue, brother!”

Can’t you avoid that too? I thought I would avoid this because it seemed a bit spicy. I turned my gaze away from the bandit, whose head had been split into a V shape from canoeing, and took a close look at the other beggars.

They seem to be ordinary bandits except that they are dressed a little thicker.

I leisurely walked in front of the frozen bandits and said the words I had been shouting so tiresomely.

“Production.”

First of all, three.

“Now there are only 5 people left.”

I took my gaze away from the bandits who had died as their stomachs were pierced and looked at the remaining bandits.

“I can’t believe you peeed in this cold weather. My crotch is going to freeze. Is there even a need for fire?”

“Monster, monster…”

[Contractor, completely scared?]

They are such cowardly people. If you pick up a weapon, you have to be prepared to die.

I ignored the completely frozen bandit and picked up the mithril shovel that stood tall in the snowy field like Excariver. When I saw the blood and brain matter stuck to the blade of the shovel, I felt like I needed to clean it up.

I wiped my shovel blade with the bandit leader’s clothes, looked at the bandits who had completely lost their will to fight, and started counting them..

“One, two, three, four, five…”

“Run away!”

It’s blend. I turned to see the bandits running away, leaving behind long, long footprints.

All that remains are three corpses and a red stain staining the pure white snow field.

“Your hands are so hot.”

“Wouldn’t it be less annoying if I did this much?”

“That’s true too!”

Tom smiled brightly and sat down in the coach seat again.

“Then let’s start again. “As long as those annoying guys don’t stick around, we only have to go for three more days!”

There’s still a long time left.

I looked at the corpses of the bandits, who were already covered in snow and disappearing, for a moment and then got on the carriage.
