The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee

Chapter 414 – Back to Mulg

Timi checked over the magical circle.

「Even though he was a Lord of the Undead, he had trouble with Alra’s seal here.」

「Yeah, there’s no damage to it.」

I looked it over, and it seemed that the seal was completely secure.

It was the same seal as I had placed on it.

「Maybe since the guy knew there was no way he could break it, he put off doing it until later.」

「But if that’s so, where did that zombie snake cookie from?」

When we were battling the Lord of the Undead, a giant zombie snake attacked us.

That’s why I thought that the Lord of the Undead had used the transport circle to call the snake.

Vi-Vi thought about it a bit and then said,

「Hm. He might have just hid it from us.」

「In the middle of Elkay? Can you hide something that big here?」

「I guess not…」

「It might have been a special technique or magical device that helped…」

Timi said, thinking it over seriously.

I couldn’t think of anything that would do that, though.

However, there were things in this world I still didn’t know about.

「Well, in the 300 years that Lord of the Undead studied, he probably could have created the magic to do that.」

「Yeah…if he had a lab, I’d like to see how he did it, too.」

Magicians that research all have labs of their own.

I was pretty sure that the Lord of the Undead had one as well.

「No idea where it would be now.」

『Would be bad if someone evil found it.』

Femm said, sounding worried.

「If we could seal it, then we could make sure no one evil found it.」

「Yeah, at least we wouldn’t worry then.」

『If we could find it.』

Femm said, a little more relaxed.

On the other hard, while we were talking,

「Moo moo」「PiGGi」「gaa gaa」

The beasts were all spending time playing with each other.

After we confirmed nothing had changed with the transfer circle, we saw Jearl off and left the stable.

And after we checked that strange pyramid one last time, we headed for Tom’s.

Then we headed for Mulg.

Timi, Vi-Vi, Femm, Moofy, Chel, Shiggy, and I.

「Ah, welcome home, old man!」

Colette greeted us as we came out from the storehouse with the magical transport seal.

She practically sprinted out to see us.

Chel was on my shoulder and jumped on her head when she approached.

「PiggGi」

「Were you good, Chel?」

「PiGGiPiggGI」

Chel jiggled happily.

「Wuff Wuff!」

The magical wolves ran circles around all of us as well. I guess they had been playing with her.

They were all happy to see Femm again.

They sniffed each other and ran around.

Shiggy mixed in with them, even though she was much smaller than the wolves.

「Whoa!」

Timi was a little unsettled, but I put my hand on her shoulder.

「It’ll be okay.」

「Really?」

「Yeah.」

The magic wolves were used to playing with cubs the size of Shiggy after all.

And Femm was there as well,

「Wuff wuff!」

The little cubs were drawn by the sound and all came out as well.

「ryaa!」

So little Shiggy started playing with them as well.

After that, Timi started to calm down.

「Old man, did sthomething crazy happen in Elkay?」

Colette asked me as he clasped my hand, Chel still on her head.

「I guess so?」

「What?」

「We were attacked by stone and clay monsters.」

So I explained everything as simply as I could to an interested Collette.

「Woww!」

Collette then ran around and Moffy chased her.

All of this running around was making me dizzy. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

「What is it, Moofy?」

「Moo moo!」

Moofy had chomped on my hand and was pulling. She was nipping me into my house.

「Are you cold?」

『Bath』

「Ah, you want to take a bath?」

「Moo!」

「I guess I haven’t hit the hot springs in a while.」

There was a bath in Tom’s house, but it was nothing as big as the onsen here in Elkay.

Also the water quality here was much better, so that’s why she wanted a bath.

「I guess I have done a lot of work lately. I should warm myself up and relax.」

「Moo moo!」

『Good idea.』

「Piggig!!」

All the beasts said in chorus.

「How about you Shiggy? You want a bath, or to stay here and play?」

「ryaa!」

Shiggy flew out of the clump of wolves towards me.

I guess she wanted in as well.

「Okay, let’s go!」

And so we left for the hot springs.
