K-type Mage

"Rodgers, I heard that you can write letters..." The bearded man scratched the back of his head a little awkwardly, put the paper on the brick-stacked table with slate, and held two pieces of dried meat in the other hand, "Could you help me with a letter? The dried meat is yours."

The blond-haired, blue-eyed boy looked up from the book, smiled, and said, "Of course, I'm very happy."

"Tell me what you want to say to your family, Fink." He took out a pen, tested the water, and looked gently at the big man sitting at the table.

Fink stumbled a bit at first, but soon fell into memories as he narrated: he had a village with a river, the wife he got when he was an adult, and he received a letter not long ago saying that she was pregnant... A happy smile appeared on his face With a smile, this man who is as strong as a bear and very intimidating is full of a kind of softness that only people who care about.

"...When I'm not around, you must take good care of yourself and the child. If you need help, you can ask Aunt Liya... I will return to you and the child soon. Let's go to town together by then."

Fink didn't know many words, but he read the letter that Rogers wrote and handed over over and over again, and said, "Rodgers, your handwriting is so beautiful." There was some envy in his eyes, and Confusion—people who can read and write letters should also have good backgrounds, and they can definitely pay the money and not serve in the military.

...Although Rogers can play ten in one.

Rogers smiled and said, "Aren't you going to the town to post letters? You can buy something and send it back when you ride the horse."

He changed the subject, but Fink didn't realize it, and slapped his forehead: "Thank you for reminding, Rogers!"

The man left in a hurry, Rogers put away his pen, looked at the two pieces of black dried meat on the table, and sighed silently and distressed.

Steve Rogers, Captain America, did not expect to become a "soldier" again after entering the game-the medieval version.

Three thousand troops from the city-state of Nain, ordered to help neighbors suffering from territorial wars, are currently resting in an abandoned lumber mill.

He looked at the bright blue light screen that only he could see, the mission was still untriggered, and he had been in this team for two days—the others remembered half a year, and some false memories were stuffed into it .

For a veteran of World War II, the weapons and equipment of medieval soldiers are simply cospy for young people, full of strangeness.

And then... He looked at his hand, recalling the handwriting he wrote when he wrote the letter before, and when he lowered his head, it was the book that came with this identity—probably it was Yuan Sai who came to let him know the situation; he was sure that he It is written in English, but in fact the book contains completely unfamiliar words and languages, but it has been translated forcibly.

Otherworld...He rubbed the pages of the book, thinking that Yuan probably gave in.

"Rogers, come here." The knight who led the army pushed open the useless old wooden door, with a strange and worried expression, "Are you busy now?"

"No, Chief Rendell, what happened?" Steve, who dutifully played the soldier, stood up.

"Sit down." Rendell waved his hand indiscriminately. He trusted this young and capable guy very much, so he also wanted to discuss it after receiving the news, "I have something to tell you, you must do not be afraid."

"No, sir."

The gray-eyed middle-aged man looked gloomy, passed the paper in his hand, and said, "There is a vampire coming from the north. The church speculates that it is a five-hundred-year-old viscount. Let's move forward on a possible route."

Steve: "..."

Well, vampires.Although there are magic, demons and angels on the earth, he has not had much contact with inhuman things.

"If we change the route, we may be late, and if we continue, we may confront vampires." Rendell pressed his brows with a headache, "Contact the Exorcist Association, let's not talk about gold coins, and I don't know if anyone dares Take over the task."

"..." Steve didn't have an intuitive impression of vampires, but he thought about it carefully, "Why did vampires go south?"

Rendell didn't answer him right away. This man who had fought on the battlefield and even usually had a chilling aura looked around cautiously. He lowered his voice as if he was afraid of disturbing someone, or worried that the walls had ears.

"In the north... the Principality of Aiden has changed the royal family." He said, "The original royal family was driven to the guillotine, and the new ruler is the puppet of that lord, who expelled and sanctioned the vampires who mingled with the crowd... that vampire The Viscount probably escaped."

Your Excellency?Steve noticed that the knight didn't even dare to say his name or title, with a kind of impure fear of hearsay and half-knowledge.

Revolution... It seems that even in a world where the mysterious side is overwhelmingly powerful, such things can happen.Steve thought, he doesn't have the idea to trigger the mission yet, and he doesn't need to act as a soldier...

"I see." He nodded understandingly, and did not express too many opinions in the absence of information, "Be more prepared, maybe the vampires don't come so fast?"

Of course, they all know that this actually depends on the mysterious luck.

"...Okay." Rendell sighed, "Go ahead first, and then rush to send the commission to the nearest Exorcist Association... I hope someone will take it." He thought about the money given by the lord before he set off, and his stomach twitched .

Steve looked away, he didn't have much money.

Rendell left with his head drooping.

……

"An exorcist has taken over the commission." Rendell sat down on the tree stump on the other side of Steve with the broth. Leaving the lumberyard and moving forward, there was a piece of wasteland and woods, and they were now at a slight edge. .

"So fast?" Steve, who had estimated the mailing distance and time required in this world, asked with some surprise, "Did Fink send it by the way the afternoon before yesterday?"

Rendell and Steve didn't let the 3000 people in the team know about the vampire conversation, and Fink, who was about to send a letter to his hometown, was a little slow to pack up. After the former went out, he let him go to the town and send it to the city-state of Nain for exorcism. people association.

According to this statement, someone picked it up as soon as it was delivered?

"What time?" he asked.

"Tomorrow at noon." Rendell chewed the meat, "The entrustment has already explained the way forward, and the exorcist will not go wrong." He patted the young man on the shoulder, "Eat more, there is not much money now You may be hungry afterward.”

"Okay." Steve smiled awkwardly but politely, and gulped down the tasteless broth - spices and seasonings are luxury goods in this world, and even the army carries only the necessary salt The veteran of World War II thought about his military rations at that time, and his heart was heavy.

An army of 3000 people, going to participate in the territorial war, even if it is just to help out-is tantamount to dying.

Rendell is undoubtedly a good leader, but he can only take people to set off under the order of the lord.If he makes a mistake, he will be punished.

Steve is a little depressed.

"Don't worry." Rendell, who had already finished his soup, seemed to know what he was thinking, and said suddenly, "There is no way."

...that's why peace is so important.Steve lowered his eyes and sipped his soup in silence.

Everything here is too real, and he doesn't know how to do it in reality, but he can't regard it all as false—but he just closed his eyes and suddenly skipped a day and night, which was really shocking.

He glanced at the panel that was still floating quietly, thinking helplessly.

After all, he had marched and fought. Although the world was different, he quickly integrated into the army without any mistakes. This identity was regarded by everyone as a literary youth with high military value. Steve held a book to think and understand this No one in the world bothers and doubts.

There was no jump in the night time this time, and Steve didn't feel sleepy, so he greeted the night watch soldiers and went for a walk not far away, driven by a certain premonition.

In addition to normal creatures in this world, there are also monsters called monsters and magic plants; and those usually live in places with rich miasma and abundant magic elements—vampires are high-level monsters, and they look similar to humans, and they like to mix In the crowd, it's okay if the identity is not discovered by humans. The few missing persons are not noticed, but once they are discovered, no matter how reserved they are, they will not bother to pretend to be humans.

It was precisely because of this that Rendell was so anxious that he sent a commission to the Exorcist Association under the premise that the situation was unknown; Steve was thinking about this issue, looking at the untriggered tasks on the light screen, feeling a little distressed.

In the silence of the night, there is only the rustling of insects and small animals. The sky is different from the modern society, and the stars are flickering, and some particularly bright stars are not the same as the earth's astronomy.

The bushes not far away suddenly trembled, as if there was an animal ready to go, Steve narrowed his eyes cautiously, he could smell the smell of blood.

And the text on the light screen that remained silent also changed suddenly, and the floating text of "a blood servant sent out to explore the way" slowly floated out of the screen, onto the bush where the movement occurred, and then It seems that after assessing the opponent's level, there is one more sentence to add-[Just transformed for less than a day, so weak. 】

The weakness of blood servants is the same as that of vampires, and several methods appeared on the light screen.

Steve: "..."

This intelligence does.

He wasn't afraid at all. He didn't have the long swords and shields that the soldiers brought with him, so he went up with bare hands.

In addition to the pale complexion, the blood servant has blood stained on the fangs and sharp teeth around his mouth. If he didn't try to test it, he would be completely human.

Steve, who pressed the screaming blood servant to the ground, looked at his clothes, which were rough and rough. He looked like a man from a nearby village. He pursed his lips, tore off his clothes and tied them on the tree trunk. Turning to the tent woke up Rendell.

Rendell, who was woken up in the middle of the night, had a dark face, and when he heard his words, he woke up completely, and quickly followed him to see the bound blood servant under the curious eyes of the night watch soldiers.

He let out a pained groan, pulled his hair in extreme embarrassment, and said, "I brought silver utensils... But if I kill this vampire, the vampire will feel it."

Perhaps the vampires are not far away, and they may come and wipe out this army in a fit of anger.

Steve, who had already packed up his mood and separated the blood servant from the living, didn't think much, and said, "Then tie it up and wait for the sun to rise."

Sending the newly transformed blood servant out to explore the way, proving that the vampire's condition is somewhat bad. I don't know where he met this man. If it was on the edge of the village... He glanced at the struggling blood servant worriedly, and couldn't help but worry. the village.But he didn't even know the location of the village, and he might not be able to defeat mysterious side creatures like vampires.

"That's the only way to go." Rendell sighed, and praised happily, "Thanks to you, Rendell, if it was those young men, they would probably think they were thieves who came to steal things."

Contemptuous attitude towards the poor.Steve didn't say anything, just bent down to check, and said, "Change to a stronger rope. I'll watch here before dawn."

"I'm coming too." Rendell didn't say much, and simply went back to get the rope.

They sat around the blood servant tied to the tree trunk, and waited until dawn—fortunately, it was already midnight when they found the blood servant, otherwise it would have been a long time.

The moment the sky broke, the blood servant illuminated by the faint light let out a sharp wail, and as burning black scars appeared on his bare skin, black smoke emerged from his body, and then quickly disappeared, but at this time the blood servant's body had been completely reduced to ashes.

Rendell breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We have to move forward quickly."
