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

"...You must leave the capital now, and run as far away as possible."

Ars crouched down. "Let me see your wound."

"You... how come you can't understand human language..."

Liz was so anxious she almost cried.

She said anxiously, "My injury isn't fatal; it only slightly affects my mobility. But you must leave immediately, understand? If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"

"It's alright, Liz."

Jars smiled and said, "Trust me, everything will be alright."

His words seemed to possess a magical power.

Although it was baseless, Liz felt inexplicably at ease, as if with Ars around, no danger was frightening anymore.

Ars gently lifted the clothing covering Liz's abdomen, revealing a bloody wound hidden beneath the heavy fabric.

The swordsman had a hidden weapon on his foot; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to incapacitate Liz so easily.

"Divine power is a sweet sustenance, granting strength to those who have lost their strength to rise again—[Healing]."

After Ars used a lower-level healing spell, Liz's abdominal wound began to heal at a visible speed.

"You...can use magic?" Liz asked in surprise.

"Mm." Jars nodded somewhat shyly.

"However, I can only use the six types of magic up to the lower level, because my father said that as long as I learn the lower level of the six types of magic, I can struggle to survive even if I am in trouble, so I must master them no matter what."

"That's it..."

Liz nodded blankly.

Her mind was a complete mess; she didn't even know what she was thinking. Her sword was broken, and her condition was exceptionally bad.

In this state, she subconsciously leaned on Jars beside her.

"Let's get out of here first."

Ars helped Liz up. "Can you walk by yourself?"

"Yes, your healing magic worked."

"Just to be on the safe side, it would be better to have someone use a medium-level or higher healing technique again later..."

"Yars said."

Then, their gazes fell on Lyca simultaneously.

The moment his gaze shifted, Yars' eyes instantly filled with disgust.

Even Liz sensed this unusual situation.

“Yars?” Liz asked softly.

"My father once said that betrayal and deception are the only things that should not be tolerated..."

Yars lowered his voice and said, "Liz, she deceived you and doesn't deserve to be your friend."

Liz shook her head.

She walked straight up to Lyca, looked at her, and asked, "How much did Boris give you?"

"Ten Asura gold coins..."

Leica hung her head, her tone somewhat lost and dejected.

But soon, she looked up at Yars again: "You killed Boris, the Laurist family will not let you get away with this, you'd better run!"

"And... if possible, take Liz with you too."

Ars paused for a moment, then said disdainfully, "You were just stabbing Liz in the back a moment ago, what are you pretending to be kind for now?"

"Pretend? Why would I pretend?"

Lyca gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, I betrayed Liz for ten gold coins... but that also means Liz is worth three gold coins to me! Three gold coins! Do you know what three gold coins mean to me?"

"It means I no longer have to go out in the middle of the night to drink with people, no longer have to watch those arrogant customers spit on me every day, and no longer have to put up with their attitudes!"

Lyca looked at Liz with tear-filled eyes: "Liz, I know I was wrong, but I feel that our friendship has never changed, has it?"

"Yes, you're right."

Liz did not deny it.

That's right.

Ten Asura gold coins.

Although it may not sound like much, it's enough for an ordinary person to buy a courtyard house in a remote area and live a simple life there.

Lyca sold this friendship for a high price of ten gold coins.

Even Liz thought Lyca got a good price.

"Who else knows about your deal with Boris?" Liz asked.

"No."

Lyca shook her head.

Liz sighed softly and turned to walk south.

"Boris is dead. Don't tell anyone about your deal with him... or the Laurist family won't let you off the hook."

"From now on, don't talk to me anymore."

Ars turned and glanced at Lyca.

He frowned, still unable to understand.

but……

Since Liz has made this decision, he has no choice but to respect it.

So he followed Liz and left.

Leica, on the other hand, slumped to the spot.

She watched the two walk away, her expression constantly shifting.

Finally, she slammed her face into the grass and burst into tears, unable to hold back any longer.

……

Because of the time lost, Liz was unable to get first place.

Although Ars' healing magic restored her injuries, the continuous travel, battle, and the ordeal in the water had left her with almost no strength.

Finally, it was almost as if Yars was helping her to the finish line.

To Liz's surprise, Ars also handed his badge to the Knights and passed through smoothly.

I didn't see Yars at the starting line, which means he shouldn't have the badge.

Could it be that……

Was it obtained through aristocratic privilege?

Thinking about this, Liz could no longer contain her doubts.

"Yars, are you... really a nobleman?"

"Aristocrat? How could I possibly be an aristocrat?"

Ars paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "My surname is Grerat because my grandfather used to be a nobleman... but because he ran away from home, he is no longer a nobleman."

"Run away from home?" Liz was stunned.

"Yes, it's incredible, isn't it? But Grandpa was indeed a wild and unrestrained person when he was young."

Ars shrugged.

He was about to recount the story he had heard from his father when he was suddenly pulled into someone's arms.

"Liz, Liz?" Ars was startled.

"Sorry……"

Liz hugged Ars tightly, biting her lower lip and frowning.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"Actually, I really shouldn't have left without saying goodbye that day..."

"If there's still time, tonight I... I..."

She opened her mouth, her pretty face turning bright red.

It seemed that what she was about to say was something she found difficult to say.

But at this moment.

Several tall knights surrounded the two of them.

The leading knight walked over with a cold expression.

Ars stepped forward and shielded the panicked Liz behind him.

"The young master of the Laurist family is dead, and now you two are suspected."

"Come with us to the Knights."

Side Story: The Tale of Ars (24)

Ars and Liz were quickly captured by the Knights.

Their wrists were put in heavy shackles, and they were then taken to the Knights' headquarters.

knight.

It is a very prestigious profession in this world.
