by fnovelpiaMy steps are heavy.
As if I was cursed.
“Hahahahaha!!”
Is it because, when you walk down the street, you always see the common people who only smile when they drink alcohol after a hard day’s work with a gloomy expression on their face? They are walking down the street smiling.
Hicks’s steps towards the inn were so heavy that he could not move properly.
-The teachers are so great. And Alpha said that anyone can learn magic!
‘What have I been learning all this time…’
It is generally accepted that magic requires talent to be demonstrated from birth.
First of all, a good bloodline was needed.
Although commoners could easily become magicians, it was only possible for children from wealthy families who had proven their abilities, not those who were poor due to lack of ability.
Such a talented and evenly-bred lineage.
That is, even among the nobles, there are many cases where they give up on magic after learning only one circle.
But what Hicks saw was completely different from what the wizards had always described.
These people have no arms, no legs, and cannot even speak properly.
These insects proudly appear as commoners because they are not sold into slavery.
So many bugs learning magic?
It was impossible.
Even Celine, who had been secretly ignoring him for being ugly, reached the 3rd circle in the short time he had left…!
I couldn’t believe it.
I didn’t want to believe it.
Our wizards were wrong.
They are the ones who always work hard for their territory.
He educated intellectuals and brought in those who showed talent to become magicians.
But why are the residents of the territory smiling happier than when they were there?
Ugh…
I wanted to destroy everything.
Those who smile happily in front of me as if they are commoners.
How dare you laugh in front of a wizard.
If they existed in the past, they would have burned them to death in an instant execution to make them realize what kind of existence they were.
‘Hold on… .’
But Hicks had no choice but to endure.
He currently belongs to the Kerens Territory, which is not on good terms with the Viken Territory.
If you committed a crime here, you would be caught and executed.
Well… Hicks only found out about this obvious fact after a reporter came looking for him while causing a commotion at the sewage treatment plant.
“Did you hear? I heard there’s a plague going on in the village next door.”
“What? Even though I washed it clean with soap?”
“I’ve heard rumors that it doesn’t work on leprosy. But it’s really good that it works on the Black Death… !”
Hicks, who was walking around listlessly looking for a place to stay for a while, smiled at the sound of his ears perking up.
“Then that’s right… !”
What a freak…!
As expected, there was no way the territory could function properly without them.
I don’t know what disease it is, but I think he’ll need the help of one of the wizards who’s been working in this territory and gathering materials!
Although I didn’t feel like it, I was willing to help if the Lord and Alpha bowed their heads and apologized.
Hicks headed straight for the castle with brisk, quick steps.
“Huh?”
As he went along, Hicks saw Jemel wearing a plague doctor mask, commanding the doctors and directing something.
‘The Duke of Vice-!’
Filling your own ego comes later.
Hicks stopped and greeted her.
“Jemel! How have you been? I don’t know if you remember, but I’m Hicks, a wizard who used to work in this territory.”
“Ah… Yes.”
Although Jemel answered indifferently, Hicks was secretly delighted.
If only he could get connected with the Vice Dukes and work there, his life would be on a smooth path going forward.
If a wizard belonging to the Vice Duke family, who held the second-highest power in the kingdom after the King, was a wizard, even if he was a wizard of a low circle, other wizards could not simply ignore him.
On the other hand, Jemel only frowned at the approach of so many magicians and powerful people who vaguely sensed his intentions.
“Just a moment. I’m a little busy. Everyone, please isolate the area where the epidemic has occurred with the soldiers here. Please do not use the water from the well. I will bring the water from the sewage treatment plant and use it.”
“Yes! But why do I have to do that?”
“It is believed that this epidemic was caused by contaminated well water.”
“Okay.”
Semel Weiss was famous among those who practiced medicine solely out of a sense of mission.
A nobleman. Even though he was from a ducal family, he worked as a doctor and struggled to save people.
It was only natural that the doctors would move quickly following his words.
The doctors each took the soldiers that Jemel had brought with them and left for the areas where the epidemic had broken out.
“Ah! It’s because of the plague. Can I help you?”
“Mr. Hicks?”
Jemel’s eyes widened.
All the wizards she’d seen while she was here were scum.
They ignore their subordinates and treat them like crap, and if they get hurt, they don’t even care.
Hicks couldn’t have looked good to Jemel, who was wearing colored glasses.
Until he offered to help.
‘Yeah. There can’t be only bad people!’
Jemel, who had been wearing sunglasses, quickly threw them away and looked at Hicks.
Wizards are often arrogant and believe that only they can use magic, so they look down on those below them.
A wizard like that volunteers to help when he hears of a plague spreading…!!
“Then please follow me.”
“Yes.”
Jemel took Hicks to Helen’s lab.
A separate space next to the factory where soap is made.
Hicks couldn’t help but be surprised when he stepped into the space that had become both the president’s office and the research lab because the president, Helen, was always there.
Height: over 180 cm, close to 190 cm.
Concave nose.
Lips that seem soft, but somehow look rough.
A gaze that overwhelms the opponent.
It was alpha.
‘Be confident. Hicks!’
If they had met alone, Hicks would have hunched over slightly and not even made eye contact, but now, knowing that there were females named Semele Weiss and Helen Wagner inside, he squared his shoulders and made eye contact with the alpha.
“This, this… Isn’t that the wizard Hicks who left the territory?”
Alpha smiled at the sight and greeted him.
Without even bending down, just saying it.
“Yes. I am the wizard Hicks. Now that I belong to a different territory, where are the courtesy towards wizards? Crossbreeder?”
“Sorry, I’m not a breeder anymore. I’m a full-fledged citizen.”
“Huh? Is there a law that says commoners don’t have to be polite to wizards?”
How dare a commoner like me not even bow down before a wizard like me and just say hello…!!
Wanting to look good in front of Helen and Jemel, Hicks threatened him by shooting flames from his hands.
“Stop! Mr. Hicks, what are you doing?”
“Jemel-nim… That, that insolent guy is ignoring our wizards… !!”
“Alpha is currently the lord’s representative. Even though they are wizards, they are not people who can be treated with courtesy.”
“Hey, Lord Yeongju…? Oh, how is it that a commoner…!”
Jemel saw Hicks’ reaction and realized he had brought him here for nothing.
It’s not that he really felt sad that commoners were suffering from a plague and wanted to help.
I just wanted to satisfy my own base desires…!
“Mr. Hicks, I’m sorry, but from here on out, I have to tell you the secret of the spirit world. Excuse me, but would you please leave?”
“Ah, ahem. I made a fool of myself. Ha, but I can help you with the plague! Here’s some information from the wizards who work here on the plagues that occur in the territory. ”
Hicks said with a laugh.
Hicks thought that the current epidemic was among the diseases they had recorded.
“Oh, it’s okay. I already predicted what kind of disease it was and made a medicine.”
“What?”
“Please hurry up and leave. I have to tell you Youngji’s secret story.”
Hicks, who noticed Jemel and Helen’s expressions, had no choice but to go out the door soon.
A sound-blocking spell that appears in the room as soon as he leaves.
‘You’ve already… made medicine…?’
Hicks, feeling a deep sense of defeat, forgot about Jemel and began to walk away to tell his Master what he had seen in the realm.
*
‘Ugh. Pathetic.’
These were my thoughts as I watched Hicks’s back as he left.
It’s not that he can’t show off his majestic appearance in front of the females, but he shows off something like that.
I clicked my tongue at the sight of a beta male who seemed to never have a relationship with a female in his entire life.
“Is the medicine really ready already?”
“Yes.”
While I was still silent, Jemel asked first, seeming to be in a hurry.
I smiled and told her confidently.
