As I left, I thought about what I had to do next.

Go to the lawless area and gain magic knowledge.

Hunt and eat strong monsters that have learned Aura.

Acquire higher level magic knowledge.

Here, there was a high possibility of obtaining knowledge of sorcery and magic at the same time.

The reason why magicians are persecuted is because of the magic path.

The exact reason for the fall of the old empire was because the magicians at the time, while learning the magic arts, claimed to be the servants of the devil kings living in the devil’s realm and summoned the devil men, the devil king’s servants.

Each and every one of the demons was a monster that was comparable to an Auror Master and had reached an estimated A-level. More than a hundred demons were summoned at the time and tore the old empire apart with force.

‘The power of the human kingdom is lower than that of the martial arts kingdom, but there is an asymmetrical power.’

Just looking at this kingdom, the territory is twice as large as the Yung Kingdom, but there are only two Auror Masters. Even though the Yung Dynasty has at least 5 complete members. This is partly because this world has a low population density due to monsters.

In any case, there was a high probability that there were magicians in the lawless area. In my experience, the synergy between magic and sorcery was very good, and the possibility of rejecting such power while surrounded by hostile kingdoms and religious orders was very low.

‘As far as the lawless zone… there are two territories left.’

County of Heiss and County of Lohman.

This was the fastest route to the lawless area.

I also encountered a group of orcs on the way to the County of Haice.

It was a monster with skin on the border between flesh-colored and gray, long elongated molars, a high snub nose, and clearly visible muscles.

It was especially impressive that everyone in the race, even children and women, were learning Aurors.

The orcs didn’t bother to attack me, so I just let them go.

This was because I wasn’t excited to see the orc child being held by his orc mother and looking at me with bright eyes.

Moreover, it is difficult for their aurors to meet my standards.

We walked for a day and entered the territory of the County of Haith.

“Hmm. Territory border management is lax.”

When humans and other intelligent races such as orcs, goblins, and kobolds are mixed in the territory, it is difficult to subdue them, and as their power increases rapidly by stealing agricultural products from farmland, it is common sense that the boundaries of the territory are tight, but what should I say about the County of Haice? .

“Discipline is missing.”

“To be exact, the number of guards is small.”

Even though this was a county, it was operating as a security force similar in size to the Barony of Basquel.

The titles in this world are in the form of king – upper noble (count) – lower noble (baron), and calling them count or baron is just an interpretation by Babel.

The king is the most powerful noble in a certain area and the head of the noble alliance, the earl is a minor lord who turned an area into a human territory and made it his territory, and the baron is a manor (a safe place for monsters surrounded by castle walls by this world’s standards). They only ruled the surrounding villages or were given them as fiefs.

Large-scale farming is usually possible only for counts or barons within a county who control a region and can defend it tightly, and have large lands. General baronies focus on mining, commerce, fishing, forestry, and livestock farming and provide food to surrounding counts. It was normal to rely on it.

‘It’s such a shitty Middle Ages.’

The old empire was not a feudal system, but a centralized system, and there were no landless areas or monsters in the territory. I could see why people hated the magicians and sorcerers who brought down the old empire.

In any case, it was not a good sign that the security forces in this county were so lax.

If the outside of the territory is like this, then the inside of the territory is a mess.

Of course, it didn’t matter because I wasn’t in any danger.

Luisi and I easily bypassed the territory guards and entered the County of Heiss and walked down the dirt road.

After walking into the territory for an hour or two, the village we came out of was in a half-ruin state.

I was amazed to find houses littered with shattered bricks and lumber, and the ground carved out in the shape of a fist.

“A trace like this? It must have been Exped or close to it.”

I found traces of the strong monster I was targeting.

Looking at the disorganized scene, it clearly appears to have been a recent attack.

I told Luisi to get drinking water and we went off to look for people in the village.

A middle-aged man loading a cart with pieces of wood and stone blocking the road.

I approached him and spoke to him.

“Look, mister. How did this place come to be like this?”

“Huh? Are you an outsider at a time like this? I have nothing to say.”

A grumpy middle-aged man. I put a large copper coin in my hand.

“Like, a troll family attacked us two days ago. I’ve seen goblins a few times, but this is the first time I’ve seen such monsters in my life…”

“Is it only like this here?”

“It’s not just here, there are monsters running rampant in the territory, but I don’t know what the lord is doing.”

“Where have the trolls gone? If I know that, I can avoid it too.”

“Can you see that mountain over there? Some say it’s located there, and others say it’s on the mountain across from there… Honestly, I don’t know much because no one has come close to check for trolls.”

“Thank you for letting us know.”

I handed over the Daedonghwa and went out of the village.

I thought as I walked towards the mountain where I assumed the troll would be.

troll.

A monster that is 3m tall and enjoys man-eating.

He is born with an aura and has the ability to regenerate.

Strength is the highest level of strength among monsters that requires a knight to step forward.

“Regeneration… Is it a racial trait? Or the auror qualities of trolls?”

It would be nice if it had the characteristics of an Auror.

The blood source qigong I had had regenerative power, but it was at a weak level.

It is only at the level of preventing bleeding, and even thin cuts can only be fully healed if watched hour by hour.

It was nowhere near the troll’s level of healing wounds in real time even during battle.

I searched the mountain with anticipation, and found a family of trolls on the next mountain.

It wasn’t difficult to find, as the troll’s disgusting body odor could be smelled from afar.

As I approached the troll, I looked at its aura through my magical eyes.

“Hmm… They say even knights have to risk their lives, but the level of Aurors isn’t that high.”

Only one who was presumed to be the head of the family was a C-level pull-up, the rest were D-level, but the younger one was E-level.

When the four troll families saw me, they let out a threatening roar.

“”Wow!!!””

A voice that makes the air tremble.

I calmly passed over the sound waves and drew my sword.

“The place where the most aurors are concentrated is the heart…”

As expected, swords were good for slaughter.

I didn’t like telekinesis because it was crushing power.

“Kwaaagh!”

The entity presumed to be the mother rushed in first.

I tried to cut the body with my hand with the sword, but I ended up just cutting off the hand.

“Hmm!”

strong.

I looked down on him because he was a D-class Auror, but the innate power of the species itself was strong.

With a D-class auror and natural body alone, he is at a level equivalent to that of a decent knight.

“Kwaaaa…”

The mother troll retreated, holding onto the cutting edge, and the father troll rushed forward.

“Kwaaa!!”

This time, I did not underestimate it and added strength to it.

Quang! Knock knock

A clash of powers that ends with the father troll’s arm being torn off.

Auror Expedition: The lowest level of Auror combined with the physical abilities of the Troll species itself made it difficult for even a knight to fight against him, but it was not enough to equal or surpass me, who was at the B-level level.

“Wow?”

I cut off the head of a troll who was making a stupid expression.

Cooung

A collapsing body.

When the mother troll saw this, she rushed towards me and shouted.

“Escape!”

“Mom!”

The meaning heard by Babel.

It seems that trolls even have their own language.

To be honest, I didn’t even think of it as a naked, barbaric sight from the beginning.

“Wow! ”

The mother troll charges at me with one hand pointed at me.

The hand I cut continued to bleed, possibly due to the eroding magical energy.

I took the charge while using Yugi’s technique.

Suddenly

There was no impact sound, only the sound of the mother troll pushing the ground, and this was because Yugi’s strength absorbed all the impact.

For a moment, I felt the power and impulse stored by the force and transmitted it to the mother troll through my arms.

bang!

The shock became more powerful due to the added strength of my career.

The mother troll couldn’t even scream and her body exploded to death.

“Oops! My heart.”

Fortunately, the eldest troll did not run away and stayed behind, glaring at me. The youngest seems to have run away as he is nowhere to be seen.

“Me, the big rock, you, the opponent.”

“My name is Solomon. Come on, you beast.”

A large rock that rushes at you without even roaring.

I was impressed by the way it ran towards me instead of running away, so I shot a magical arrow.

Five magic arrows penetrating the ship.

“You, a warrior?”

“I am a magician.”

Although he doesn’t have aurors, he has magical power and can use magic.

I was being sincere when I dealt with him using magic rather than martial arts.

Because Solomon is a magician.

The battle ended like that and I took the hearts of my father, mother, and the eldest troll.

The mother troll’s heart was half broken, but she still had aura.

Still, you have to eat it quickly because you never know when the aurors will disperse.

I decided to get the troll heart and go to a nearby city.

This is because you need a safe place to gain aura and gain fortune, and you may also be able to obtain information about other powerful monsters in the territory.

I joined Luisi, who was staying in the half-destroyed village, and headed toward the city.
