I Was Mistaken as a Genius Mage in a Game-Chapter 110

The carriage’s interior was more impeccable than expected.

It must have been because the palace only made the highest-quality carriages for its guests, so the standards for carriages had become too high.

The ceiling was too low, and the seats were made of wood, so they were hard.

“Guards, are you sure we don’t need them?”

Lir asked, pulling his hat, which was hitting the carriage ceiling, into his arms.

“Lir, haven’t you studied the Golden Sea? What would happen if the military swarms into the ‘Golden Sea’? Would the criminals inside quietly be allowed into the territory? The siege would start right away. If we don’t want to get involved in troublesome matters, it would be best for the three of us to move quietly.”

“......Won’t anything dangerous happen?”

“Dangerous?”

Zion held Lir’s words with a light smile.

“There’s a general in the carriage we’re riding in? The war hero who finished off Malthael.”

She pointed at me, who was leaning against the carriage wall and blankly staring out the dirty window, and said.

“And the most dangerous assassin on the continent is there.”

I slowly raised my finger and pointed at the red-eyed girl sitting across from me, and opened my mouth.

Lir’s worries were almost unfounded.

Sion and I signed an escort contract through the ‘Devil’s Contract.’ And the contract stated that if I were to suffer damage from an enemy attack, Sion would pay the price with his life.

The most skilled assassin on the continent would protect me more than his own life.

Danger?

Is there anyone more dangerous than that woman on this continent right now? The demons were crouching in the north, and the swordsman and the other generals were busy strangling the demons who were on the defensive.

The biggest danger on this continent right now is none other than ‘Zion’.

And I bought that danger with money.

“By the way, how old is Lir?”

“Yes, uh, that.......”

“Twenty-one? Is that true? That’s the first time I’ve seen an elf with double digit ages!”

“.......”

“A twenty-one-year-old is treated like a baby among elves? Or a preschooler? What do you think?”

“Adult.......”

“Ah, treated like an adult! Then I’ll just call you Unnie!”

“......Yes. Whatever. Whatever you want.”

The conversation between Lir and Zion continued without stopping.

Sion, who was always open-mouthed and no matter who she met or what situation she was in, and Lir, who had difficulty getting along with strangers, struck a mysterious balance.

Lir occasionally raised her gaze, which had been looking down, and tried to make eye contact with Sion during the conversation. However, whenever their eyes met, Lir’s face would turn bright red and she would look away, and this happened more than ten times during this short conversation.

‘I guess she’s grown up?’

Even when I first met her, it was unimaginable for Lir to make eye contact with someone she had never seen before.

But now, she awkwardly made eye contact and talked, and her voice was incomparably louder than before.

When she first spoke to me, her voice was so small that it took her more than three days to get used to it.

Could there be a more appropriate moment for the expression ‘great progress’?

“Uh... yes, please do.”

“Call me Sion! Yes? Unnie. Call me ‘our Sion~’ affectionately, okay?”

“Um... that’s a little uncomfortable.”

It was kind of cute how she tried so hard to continue the conversation with her face flushed red.

“Huh?! Why? Can’t you just call me that once, sis?”

... ... Maybe Sion is having fun teasing Lir.

I thought that maybe Sion and I had a similar chemistry.

We spent three full days in the uncomfortable carriage.

Except for the time we got off to camp and feed the horses, the carriage continued to run west of the continent, and the coachman didn’t sleep properly and kept driving the carriage busily. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Thanks to that, we were able to arrive at the Golden Sea half a day earlier than planned.

“From here on out, it’s the Golden Sea. Horses can’t move properly in the desert, and the wheels of the carriage will fall off quickly. It would be better to walk.”

The coachman, exhausted from exhaustion, got off his horse and opened the door of the old carriage and spoke. I rubbed my eyes that were in a light sleep, got out of the uncomfortable carriage, and straightened my back.

The stars of dawn were decorating the sky. While the waves made of the Milky Way were rolling across the sky, the moon was slightly tilted and watching the stars with a happy smile.

A pitch-black background. A wind that could be described as slightly cold. Stars that were bright enough not to dazzle the eyes.

An endless wilderness stretched out before my eyes, and the desert made of gold dust turned the pure white starlight into gold.

For the first time, it was the moment when I missed my camera.

I wanted to preserve this sight, which could not be fully expressed in words like a painting, just as it was... ... .

“Now! The most beautiful and ugly sea on the continent! We have now reached the entrance to the Golden Sea!”

“.......”

Oh, really, shut up that mouth.

A beautiful sight that I will never forget is unfolding before my eyes, but you are not letting me savor it.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

“Let’s all shout together! We’ve arrived at the Golden Sea~!”

“.......”

“.......”

“.......”

Me, Lir, and even the coachman who took money from her and brought us here.

We just stared at her with a cold expression as she shouted “Hurrah!”

It’s not exact, but judging by the height of the stars and the brightness of the moon, it must be well past midnight now.

It’s probably around one or two in the morning.

... ... Is that the right time to be in the morning?

Don’t we have the right to be tired? The viewers are at six in the evening, or something like that?

“Let’s go! It’s the best time to cross the Golden Sea at night! The night wind isn’t that cold compared to other deserts!”

Zion walked ahead with light steps and raised his finger. Lir and I made eye contact for a moment and then had no choice but to follow her.

“Here comes the Heavenly Orphan Trio!”

Zion looked back at us who had started walking through the desert late, and shouted loudly toward the sky.

“......Huh?”

This kid is talking nonsense again.

Control your tempo, you punk. Whenever you open your mouth, nonsense comes out.

“I’m an orphan too! Sister Lir is an orphan too! General Bin is an orphan too!”

“.......”

“Heavenly Orphan Trio! That’s right!”

Lir and I just blankly stared at Zion, who was smiling brightly and shouting that we were orphans.

Yeah, it would be weird if you said something normal out of your mouth.

“Call me whatever you want.......”

I let out a light sigh as if I had given up and followed her silently.

She kept moving her mouth as she stepped on the gold dust shining under the starlight.

Stories of finding treasure in the desert, stories of rescuing wizards kidnapped by demons, stories of burning down the houses of annoying thugs, stories of searching through the corpses of adventurers swallowed by mimics, etc... ... .

Most of the stories were useless, but there was one story that was particularly disgusting.

“Oh! There was a wizard who asked me to rescue the dragon captain once!”

“Huh?”

“The captain! That piece of shit.......”

“No. I know what a captain is. Why on earth would you......?”

“Don’t you know? He said he needed it to develop a new plague magic or something. So he caught a sea dragon on the southern coast and took out its long captain...... Man~ What did it eat? The contents were.......”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop. Stop!”

You little punk, you’re imagining things.

I don’t want to hear stories like that.

99% of what you say is something I don’t want to hear, but that story is especially uninteresting.

“Oh... really? Isn’t this an experience that not everyone can have? I wouldn’t pay to hear this kind of story?”

“No, no. No.”

I waved my hand and refused Zion’s offer. Lir shook his head up and down as if he agreed with my opinion.

“Please stop talking nonsense and just walk...”

“That story is quite interesting.”

... ... ?

I had barely managed to get Zion to shut up, but a sudden nonsense echoed around us.

“Tell me more. What did the sea dragon eat so deliciously?”

The voice had an arrogant tone, as if everything in the world was in his hands.

Soon, a faint light leaked out from my right hand. The lightning that escaped from there took the shape of a giant deer and stood between us.

... ... This kid had been silent for a while, but now that the Dragon Captain was mentioned, he’s crawling out.

As befitting his title as a transcendent being, his tastes are refined.

“......Oh.”

Sion let out a soft exclamation of admiration at the lightning spirit that appeared before his eyes. Of all the extraordinary things he’d seen while living as an assassin in a back alley, there was probably nothing more alien than the lightning spirit.

“The wretched mortal Sion greets the lightning spirit, Dajin.”

As soon as Sion saw Dajin, he bowed his head in a pious and refined manner, as if he had never spoken frivolously.

It was a flawless greeting posture. He bent his knees just below the floor and placed his right hand between his chest and ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) collarbone, and for a moment, he suspected that the soul of that woman had been replaced by that of a servant who had served the emperor in the imperial palace for 80 years.

“......Psychopath.”

Lir couldn’t help but be astonished at Zion’s neat greeting and let out an exclamation that sounded like a curse.

“Haha! You don’t have to be so overly polite. I don’t really care about formality.”

Contrary to what he said, Dajin extended his lightning and gently stroked Zion’s black hair.

... ... Not caring about it, anyone can tell that he’s upset.

“Okay, tell me. What’s in the Sea Dragon’s captain?”

“......Before that! Excuse me, but could you make Dajin’s body a little smaller? Dajin’s body is so dazzling that I can’t see in front of me.”

So, at night, in the middle of the desert with no cover, he meant that he shouldn’t emit light at will.

“Haha! You speak so beautifully. It’s a small favor, so I’ll grant it!”

Dajin fell for Zion’s sweet talk and soon began to shrink his huge body. The lightning that made up the deer’s body was compressed into small pieces, and eventually a small deer that could fit in a pocket stood on the gold dust.

......Seeing Dajin so small, I want to step on him.

“So, what did that sea dragon eat?!”

“Oh, that’s it... ... .”

Ah.

I really want to die.
