Chapter 127 – The White Death

There is a job called mercenary in this world.

If someone asked, ‘What is a mercenary’s job?, I could answer as follows.

A mercenary was a person who concluded a contract with the employer who requested the request and solved the employer’s request with his or her abilities.

In short, it could be called a ‘fixer’.

In the early days when mercenaries were just emerging, the words mercenaries and solvers were used interchangeably.

However, as time passed, the words mercenary and solver came to have different meanings.

It was because the solver and the mercenary were similar yet different.

The similarities and differences between solvers and mercenaries are as follows.

Both jobs were jobs that saw the employer’s request and resolved the request through a ‘contract’.

Of course, what employers demand from fixers and mercenaries is completely different.

Solvers were people who solved requests that were not the main ‘combat’ with knowledge or abilities that others did not have.

Simply put, it was to solve a quest such as finding something or a person, or exploring a certain area.

On the contrary, the job of mercenary had a strong feeling that it was a military force hired for the purpose of the employer.

In other words, a mercenary came to mean a job that employers fought against for money.

In this way, the solver and the mercenary were separated as completely separate jobs as their areas of responsibility gradually diverged over time.

Anyway, the most important thing in this mercenary industry was one’s strength.

The stronger he was, the more he was recognized by the mercenaries and recognized as an outstanding mercenary.

Some of the mercenaries have another name called ‘Lee Myeong’ due to their impressive performance.

A mercenary with such a ‘tiny name’ is called a ‘named’.

The so-called ‘named’ mercenaries were the object of envy for all mercenaries.

Among them, there was the strongest mercenary recognized by all mercenaries among the named.

His name is the ‘White Death’.

The strongest of the strong who can take down high-risk monsters such as ogres and trolls without anyone’s help and without any damage.

His white hair, unique way of speaking, and mask covering half of his face were impressive. It was also said that wherever his sword passed, the dismembered body and blood of monsters were all over the place.

In addition, there was once a mercenary who turned the mercenary industry upside down, and a mercenary called ‘Golden Ax’, who was called the strongest at the time, applied for sparring with the White Reaper.

People thought that the Golden Ax was trying to tame the newcomer, the White Reaper, and that the number of victims of the Golden Ax would increase by one more.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, the white god of death unilaterally pushed the golden axe and proved his strength by cutting off the blade of the golden ax he was proud of.

“Strong. As expected, you are the strongest.”

The golden ax didn’t act ugly to deny defeat, but rather accepted his defeat, handing over the title of the strongest mercenary he’d ever had to the white god of death.

After that, he was hired by the imperial family of El Pario Empire to prevent a wave of monsters that occurred near the border of the El Pario Empire.

And the White Reaper alone blocked the waves of monsters that were rushing toward the borders of the Elpario Empire.

His weapon was a one-handed sword that was painstakingly forged and hardened by a craftsman at a blacksmith’s smithy, and then sharpened with a fine whetstone.

Every time his one-handed sword was swung, the necks of several monsters separated from their bodies and soared into the sky.

The number of monsters that fell at his hand that day was about 3,500, of which there were two ogres, six trolls, and the rest were strong monsters such as minotaurs and orcs.

The number of conscripts needed to stop an ogre was about 5,000, 3,000 to stop a troll, and more than 50,000 soldiers to stop other monsters.

50,000 Soldiers had 50,000 horses, but even if they were filled with conscripts, it was a number that would require attracting people from several territories.

Also, just because there were 50,000 soldiers, it wasn’t that they could all survive.

At least one in ten would be dead or alive, but not alive.

A soldier who participated in the monster wave defense at the time said this.

“The White Grim Reaper? Whoops, a guy like me would say something, but, really, that movement wasn’t human. Every time the sword blade flashed!, Several monsters flew out, uh. It was really amazing. .”

In this way, the white god of death blocked the monster wave and quietly disappeared.

Many mercenaries and nobles searched for him, but no one found him when he disappeared.

From noble mtl dot com.

“By the way, why did such a strong person come to our Noble Academy?”

“Well, I’m not sure about that either.”

Frelda answered honestly to Helen’s question.

She has been living for a long time, but the White Reaper’s behavior this time was a kind of behavior that even she herself could not understand.

Helen, in her own way, guessed why the White Reaper entered Noble Academy, but she didn’t get a good number.

For what reason did the White Reaper enter Noble Academy?

Could it be that he entered Noble Academy because he had an ulterior motive?

“One thing’s for sure, judging by his behavior, at least he won’t be in trouble at the academy.”

“For what reason did you think that?”

However, when Frelda brought out her slightly optimistic thoughts, Helen asked why.

“The spirits said so. The White Reaper, no. Adalbert would not have an accident at Noble Academy.”

Frelda answered Helen’s question and told what the spirits had seen and heard.

Befitting an elf who has lived for a long time, Frelda was also skilled at handling spirits.

It wasn’t that difficult to find out someone’s behavior or energy by instructing her to use her spirit.

“The spirits said so?”

Helen couldn’t believe Frelda’s words that the spirits spoke favorably of Adalbert.

However, she had to admit it.

When she realized that Adalbert’s true identity was the White Reaper, she said that with his skills, he could have dealt with her without even knowing.

But he didn’t do that, didn’t he just give him another chance?

When she thought that way, she thought that he didn’t seem like a bad person again.

Helen decided to trust Frelda’s words for once.

He lived longer than he did, and he was a greater man, so there was a reason.

“Hmm, there must be a reason why the teacher said that.”

“Well, just in case, I talked to the spirits and told them to watch for a while, so if they feel anything strange, they’ll tell me.”

“Then it’s a relief. No one is as good at magic and spirits as Sensei.”

“If you train hard, you will be able to become a great wizard like me.”

Helen and Frelda praised each other and laughed hahahahahoho, but soon broke up.

“Well then, sir. I’m going to leave.”

“I won’t send you off. Go inside carefully.”

Helen said her goodbyes to Frelda and she came out of her lab.

After Helen closed the door and left, Frelda cast the Silence spell throughout the lab, and after a while she confirmed that the magic had worked before she could speak.

“Your Majesty. Are you done now?”

She suddenly called the Emperor, who was not here.

– Thank you. Senior Professor Prelda.

Then a middle-aged man’s voice came from her desk.

“Why are you so kind to a man named Adalbert Rainmed?”

-I couldn’t help it because it was a friend’s request.

“By friend, do you mean the emperor of the Bregern Empire?”

As the story of the emperor of the Bregern Empire came out of Frelda’s mouth, it was revealed who she was talking to.

-Yes. It’s a secret to the people of the El Pario Empire.

The person she was talking to was the emperor of the El Pario Empire.

“I don’t know what kind of request you asked your friend, but I hope the Noble Academy won’t be damaged.”

-There will be no damage. Adalbert, because what that child is trying to do is ultimately helpful to our Empire and the Bregern Empire.

“I hope so.”

In Frelda’s voice, the love she had for her Noble Academy was oozing out.

Anyway, after all, she had her affection for Noble Academy because she spent a long time there.

“Instead, this quarter’s budget. Could you increase it a bit?”

-…… Okay I’ll try to stretch it out a bit more.

Though the poor Emperor of the Empire, El Pario, had his budget stolen as a bonus.
