Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

soon.

I arrived at the agreed location.

Zanaba, Cliff, Julie, Alina Lizzie, and Ginger were all waiting here.

It's been a long time since I've seen Alina Lige.

After giving birth, her figure quickly returned to normal.

They are still going through their shameless daily routine with Cliff.

That being said.

She's holding Klep now, looking very maternal.

"master!"

"Rudeus!"

"Ah, I'm here."

At the call of the crowd, I quickened my pace and arrived at their side.

"Master, are you really sure?"

"Zanopa asked."

"Ah."

"Then, Rudius, Zanoba is yours to keep."

Yes, it will be so.

I made an assurance to Cliff.

The latter nodded in satisfaction, and then had me stand with Zanaba.

"Holy Milis, may those who step onto the battlefield be invincible, and in the holy name drive out evil... and then return in triumph."

He offered his blessings to me and Zanaba with a devout attitude.

That was what the cult of Milis said to those about to go to war.

Julie and Kimberly will also be on this trip.

Jin Jie is a member of Zanopa's royal guard and also Zanopa's attendant.

He was destined to follow Zanoba for life.

Considering that Zanaba might remain in the capital after the battle, Julie will go with him.

prior to.

Zanaba felt he might die on the battlefield.

So they entrusted Julie to me.

I vehemently rejected this offer.

Although Julie was a slave, she was by no means an object that could be disposed of so easily.

I will not approve of Zanoba's arrangements, therefore I made an agreement with Zanoba.

Keep Julie by your side.

And I will bring him victory.

Julie tugged at Zanoba's sleeve, looking somewhat nervous.

"Then, let's set off, Master."

"Zanopa urged."

"...Before that, there's something else I need to tell you."

"What's going on?"

“Parcus… is dead.”

Zanaba's face stiffened.

That being said, he didn't seem to react much.

No.

To be honest, he had already guessed it.

After all, as a proton, this was the inevitable outcome.

Did gods or humans intervene behind the scenes?

This is almost certain.

But who exactly is controlling them is another matter.

"Master, did Parkus say anything before he died?"

"Zanopa asked."

"He said he hoped someone would take good care of Benedict and the baby in her belly."

"child?"

"Yes. It's Parkus and Benedict's unborn child."

"...I understand. Is that all there is?"

"As far as I know, that's correct."

"Then, leave it to this prince."

Zanaba said with certainty.

299. Current Status of Xilong

It took about half a month from the start of the journey to the arrival.

We have arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Xilong.

Latakia.

The last time I came here was six or seven years ago.

As Zanaba passed through the city gate, a look of deep emotion crossed his face.

Come to think of it, he's pretty much the same...

He also left here about six or seven years ago.

The scenery before me hasn't changed much from what I remember.

The town is home to many adventurers who come to explore the labyrinth, which is similar to what I remember...

wrong.

Those are not adventurers.

Those are mercenaries.

Furthermore, unlike Paul's mercenary group, which primarily focuses on intelligence operations, those mercenaries are actually experienced soldiers who have fought on the battlefield.

Most of them were probably active in conflict zones.

He carried the aura of a battlefield.

It's really annoying.

That being said, Zanoba, unlike me, seemed quite pleased.

"Hmm, it's been a while since I've been back here. It seems there are quite a few more mercenaries. I suppose it's because of the strong atmosphere of war."

Zanobá said this in a slightly pleased tone.

"Zanaba looks very happy."

"Of course, war is always exhilarating, no matter the reason."

"is it?"

"Of course. Any man would think that, right?"

I don't quite understand this feeling.

But in reality, there is nothing wrong with that.

Because this is another world.

Zanaba also received training from a young age to become an outstanding general.

It's normal to have expectations for the battlefield.

Gentlemen, I love war—

some type of.

No, they shouldn't be the same.

Zanaba simply enjoyed winning on the battlefield.

……

We rested in the hotel for the night.

the next day.

Zanopa entered the palace and met with the king.

Jin Jie, being a knight of Zanoba, naturally had to accompany them.

Julie, due to her status, could only stay in the hotel.

As for me……

They then went to search for intelligence near the royal city.
