Chapter 132 Fame And Reputation, So Pitiful



After parting with Zick, Seveleen's journey was very smooth, there was no hindrance at all.

It all started after the snowstorm stopped, and all monsters started heading in the same direction. These monsters were very ferocious, they killed and destroyed everything that got in their way.

Seveleen started encountering this monster more and more frequently, she would always change her direction to not come in contact with them. Though she had recovered a lot of mental energy in the past few hours, there was no reason for her to take the risk.

But there were situations where it was not possible to hide from the monsters.

With the help of the high-rank snow wolf that Zick lent, Seveleen was able to fight and kill them. There were also moments where she had to use healing potions on the snow wolf which was a waste. There was nothing she could do, she needed the snow wolf's help to cross the mountain faster.

Having to fight and take roundabout ways all time made Seveleen take more than a day to reach her destination, which would have normally taken around half a day.

She was able to reach the border of the Lectic mountain region. Her head was dizzy, feeling extremely exhausted.

The snow wolf she sat on limped and walked slowly, the healing potions on her space ring had already turned empty.

Suddenly the snow wolf growled threateningly at something, but the very next moment it stopped and stuck its tongue out, whimpering softly. It had sensed its master's presence!

Slowly Seveleen lifted her head, Seeing Zick walking towards her with his usual impassive expression. She got a little worried looking at his appearance, there were multiple holes in his leather armor.

Without saying a word, Zick took out a healing potion and applied it to the snow wolf.

"Are you alright...? I...got a little late-" Seveleen spoke in a weak and shaky voice. Her face was extremely pale and there were black circles below her eyes.

The silence was broken by Seveleen but Zick stopped her and spoke seriously.

"I am alright and I know, many monsters appeared for some reason and you had to fight against them so you were delayed. You should just rest instead of speaking." Zick was clear on Seveleen's condition.

She was barely holding on to her consciousness, the pressure, pain, and will to live let her stay conscious until now.

Nodding her head, Seveleen could only close her eyes entrusting her safety to Zick. Her head lightly fell on the white fur which was bloodied right now, Staying awake made her head throb even more strongly.

There were many traces of monsters heading somewhere which Zick noticed while heading toward the border. Luckily, almost all the monsters from the two mountains he crossed had already gone toward somewhere or it would have taken longer for him to reach his destination.

Patting the head of the snow wolf, Zick lifted Seveleen by her shoulder, not being gentle at all, and sat in front of her.

Seveleen's head leaned on his shoulder.

Not bothered by a beautiful girl sitting right behind him, Zick ordered the snow wolf to start moving again, it had already recovered to its peak state.

He held onto Seveleen's left hand so that she wouldn't fall off the snow wolf.

'I was lucky that I didn't encounter many monsters, if I did, I would have probably not been able to meet Ovelon today.' Zick didn't think of it as a bad thing but it made doubt rise as it seems his luck was good right at this instant.

He had faced one hardship after another making him have no confidence in his luck.

'Well, whatever.'

By making use of Seveleen's weak mind right at the moment, Zick could make himself very close to her. And by safely taking her to one of the city's inns, he could also gain more of her trust.

Even while being in such a dangerous situation and knowing that she would die soon, Seveleen didn't give up. This showed her mental fortitude.

'But she has not matured yet, there is a long way to go before she has 'indomitable will' which she had in the novel.'

'Thus, I have a high chance to sway her to my side, the only problem is that I can't commit any crime in front of her.'

Zick knew Seveleen a lot, she could be said to be on the righteous side partially. Though she would not do or say anything about it, internally she would have a bad impression of him if he committed a crime.

With the snow wolf sprinting at full speed, they soon exited the snow domain and moved onto the dry ground. The sun was setting at the horizon making Zick's face glow in the afterglow.

'I can make it.' Zick felt emotional internally.

It was a long journey but he made it out somehow clinging to his life to the very end.

The air around Zick had already changed, giving anyone a sense of pressure. It was the same presence he had around him while staying on the battlefield.

In actuality, there were many knights on the battlefield who admired him. He always faced his opponent head on winning with pure skill and experience.

The only reason everyone kept their distance was because of the first battle where he went out of control and killed hundreds of knights while laughing like a madman.

The knights of the middle continent thought of Zick as a crazy person thanks to this.

The presence he gave was not matching his age at all!

The strong and respected live a carefree life and the weak live their whole life in the deception of being protected by the strong, always restless. In truth, they can be killed with a single thought of the strong.

Strength is the most important thing! Respect, power, ambition, carnal desire, everything without strength is just an afterimage of what people dream of.

This one point was clearly known and accepted by Zick.

Zick's eyes shone in profound light: 'With no strength, no matter how complex and well thought a scheme is, executing it would be very hard and have an extremely high chance of failing.'

But if he had strength, would failing even matter?

Reputation and fame were already seen through by Zick. It was nothing but a means to be used to attain what he wanted, not something that should control him.

Living your whole life for the sake of fame and reputation was really pitiful in Zick's eyes.

After a few minutes, the fortress of Jeleat city was visible on the horizon. It was already turning dark with the sun vanishing.

Getting down the snow wolf, Zick put on the white mask and the brown robe. Then he put Seveleen on his shoulder, like baggage.

He took a deep breath and took off the collar from the snow wolf.

Grrrr!

The snow wolf bared its fang ferociously but the very next moment it bowed its head.

Zick had released a little of his dragon fear, though it hurt like his heart was being poked with a needle.

"Go and attack the knight guarding the fortress," Zick ordered the snow wolf with a cold voice.

Grrrr.....the snow wolf dashed forward immediately.

'I can sell the taming collar for quite a price, losing it would be a letdown.'

With the snow wolf distracting the guard, Zick easily got into the city while hiding his presence.

Entering a dark alley near the inn of the organization, Zick slowly put Seveleen down and got on his knees. He placed his hand on her back and started using his mana.

A thin layer of mana immediately covered Seveleen's body before vanishing. Her body slowly started getting up and stood upright. From her face, it was apparent that she was still deep in slumber.

Taking off his robe, Zick put it on her and put the white mask within his space ring too. He took out a hat from it, putting it on his head.

Then he started heading towards the inn of the Everlor organizations. Seveleen's body swayed here and there as she walked like a drunkard so he supported her by placing his hand on her shoulder, sending even more mana.

'Barging into the inn would appear suspicious so I can only do this. Sigh....' Zick felt a little annoyed.

He knew that many burdens would appear as he collected many talented people before they even started getting stronger. But he could only persist.

'Once I am done with the demon Lord, I can continue moving forward the way I want.'

The people walked past him as he started heading toward the inn. Some people glanced at him but he ignored them.

Wearing a robe and walking in the street was suspicious but it did not garner too much attention.

Taking a left turn, Zick arrived in front of the entrance of the inn, he entered it without any hesitation.

CLICK~

The same reception of the inn welcomed him. The receptionist looked at him before starting to work again.

Walking in front of the receptionist with Seveleen, Zick spoke to her: "Give me a single room." A green seal appeared behind Zick's palm.

The receptionist saw it and nodded her head.

"50 merit points." She spoke with no interest.

Sending the merit points to her through the seal, Zick continued speaking: "I want to use the teleportation circle, destination is the main base of the organization in the Gorthect empire."

Pausing for a second, Zick continued: "Take this girl to the room, if she wakes up, tell her that I went out and will be back in a while."

After a mage exhausts their mental power, it takes a long time to recover. So Seveleen shouldn't wake up anytime soon but Zick still gave such instructions just in case.

The receptionist clapped her hands, calling upon two servants who took Seveleen to the room booked by Zick.

Passing 1500 merit points to use the teleportation circle, Zick successfully used the magic circle and teleported to the main base.

SWOOSH~

With a flash, Zick's figure vanished.
