After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

I will still guarantee two updates a day from now on, and any extra updates before May will not be counted as extra updates.

After May, if you have the energy, try offering a bounty.

In addition, I set a goal for myself yesterday - 30 updates in 4 days.

That is to say, including today's update, a total of 30 chapters will be updated before the end of May while ensuring quality.

These are not considered extra chapters, they are just a small goal I set for myself.

If you don't finish it, then I'll owe you the money and pay it back next month.

If I can finish writing it, I will humbly ask for some monthly votes, which should not be too much_(??`」∠)__

Current mission progress (6/30).

Chapter 10 A Different Journey

Magicians can change common sense through theories and calculations, which is an extremely incredible thing.

It is impossible to say that there is no cost, because equal exchange is also the unchanging foundation of the magic world.

There is no doubt that the oath is full of cost.

Those are the chains that bind the magician, and sometimes even turn into a strong poison that changes the very nature of their existence.

Therefore, what the brave man said just now is actually not wrong at all.

Rather, since it was just a commission, I have never heard of anyone asking a magician to exchange oaths.

However, it is meaningless to talk about precedent in matters like contracts.

What's more, the person he is negotiating with now is not her, but Frodo.

Therefore, no matter how unfair the deal is, as long as the negotiating party nods, it is undoubtedly a legitimate deal.

Of course, in this world, there are people who sell their dignity for a piece of bread, and there are also people who sell their bodies for a little money.

Rather, it is rare to get a fair deal.

"Aimees Castina, I'm not making a deal with you, so I hope you won't butt in. And after all, we're the ones taking the risk right now, understand?"

While trying to make a sharp expression, he narrowed his eyes and responded bluntly.

Although magicians are generally very wealthy, and the rewards they give for issuing commissions are generally very generous.

However, the strange thing is that no one would want to be a magician's guard unless they were really short of money.

Because it is really hard and very dangerous.

After all, magicians are generally very strong, but generally speaking, those more powerful magics require a very long time to chant.

Magic with a short casting time is generally not powerful enough.

Therefore, while the magicians are chanting, there must be someone responsible for protecting them.

But, that's the problem.

Apart from large forces that have the ability to train a group of people to protect magicians, few people have the ability to do these things.

Because even magicians need to recruit guards for those jobs, which are generally quite difficult commissions.

Otherwise, the wizards can complete the task on their own.

Therefore, in those more difficult commissions, adventurers usually work alone. It is difficult for one person to protect the magician, and adventurers rarely cooperate with other adventurers they are not familiar with.

After all, adventurers are undoubtedly creatures driven by profit, so if you cooperate with unfamiliar adventurers, conflicts will often arise in the distribution of rewards.

In addition, there is another thing that has a very big impact.

That is, the reputation of magicians is actually not very good.

Generally speaking, magicians are extremely talented, and magicians who can usually stand out are almost all guys who have received elite education in colleges.

Because of this, magicians generally have an arrogance that is unimaginable to them.

For example, Frodo, judging from her previous performance, is undoubtedly a genius full of arrogance, while people like her disciple Candice are actually a minority.

Therefore, few people can tolerate their young lady or young master-like personalities.

At least, this evaluation was widely spread among adventurers.

Therefore, for such commissions as magician guarding, even if the magicians are prepared to pay a lot of money, few people here will agree.

Apart from those adventurers who are truly desperate for money and are willing to sacrifice their lives for it, the only weirdos and professionals who would agree to this are in the Magician's Guild.

Yes, if a magician wants to make a commission, the easiest way is to go to a specialized magician's guild instead of the adventurer's guild.

No matter how little you understand the entrustment method, you should know this level.

However, Vlado Volgograd did not take this approach.

This illustrates a very important point.

"You must have your reasons. After all, there are quite a few guilds in this city dedicated to magicians. Isn't it strange that you're here at this time?"

There is no doubt that this is the opponent's weakness.

In order to immediately break the deadlock in negotiations, a deal must be made even if it is unfair.

No... we have to make the deal.

She, Vlado Volgograd, must have known this, which is why she came here.

Hearing her own words, Aimee Castina's face twisted in an instant.

How could he endure it without getting angry? His perseverance is truly remarkable.

Ah, but.

It’s too late, brave man.

"—Shut up, Aimee. As he said, this is a trust where we both bear the risk. If I don't bear it, then the scales will not be balanced."

Frodo's words made people deeply feel her determination not to change.

Because of this, even Aimee Castina had to obey her.

Because in this transaction, Frodo is the master and Ames is just the slave.

Moreover, given her personality, I knew exactly what she was going to say next.

Well, extremely gentle, even to the point of being uncomfortable.

"Then—in that case, please allow me to come along."

"I can't just interrupt and then pretend I don't know. At least, that's not the behavior of a dignified gentleman."

The words came out of that mouth as expected.

I know that if this condition is added, you will apply to be a colleague.

For better or worse, that's exactly what Aimee Castina is like.

Moreover, even at this time, he still wanted to disguise himself as a man.

Although women can be called gentlemen, it is undoubtedly a way of declaring themselves as men.

Honestly, I can't understand it.

-------------------------------------

The journey to the cape takes about a full day by carriage.

Of course, few people go to places like that, so there is no carriage with shared seats.

For this reason, we specially rented a carriage, after all, it was a long journey.

There wasn't much to say about the carriage, but the fact that it was free was a nice touch.

Although the carriage with four people was not very crowded, they were still close enough that they could barely look at each other.

However, even so, this journey is still not lively.

Until the end, the people in the car could only hear the sound of horse hooves and wheels.

At first glance, this might seem like a good thing.

A journey where people surrender themselves to the sounds of nature, without any annoying arguments.

However, from my perspective, it is a little different.

Chapter 11: A “Hypocritical” Sense of Justice

Candice Greyhite—now Vlado Volgograd.

Philia Reinhardt.

Aimee Castina.

Then, myself.

That’s right, not even all the people are here yet.

However, looking at the guys sitting here, I can't help but think of my journey in the previous life.

Along with it, the painful memories.

Although it is a false memory, the pain felt is real.

However, at this moment, even after rebirth, they are together again.

Moreover, it was a team put together by myself.

This is really, interesting.

When a different emotion arises in your heart and the corners of your mouth slightly curl up.

The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground and the sound of wheels turning lightly also echoed all around.

-------------------------------------

The voices of Filia and Ames gradually faded from my ears as if they were going far away.

I touched my neck, sighed softly to change my mood, and refreshed the air in my lungs.

"A nasty divisive trap? I'm so impressed. There's nothing I can do about it now."

"...Even after being separated, he's still so relaxed, acting as if it has nothing to do with him. Are all adventurers like this?"

"Is it really okay?" Frodo Volgograd looked over here and whispered beside her.

The volume was so low that it almost disappeared, but strangely, the sound quality that remained in my ears was very good.

Here, as soon as they stepped into the entrance of the underground temple, they were separated from their companions by a trap, and Frodo, who had always remained calm, now felt helpless.

However, I am not doing it easily either.

But after going through so much, it’s much easier to calm down.

Moreover, if we just talk about experience, I should be higher than all of them now.

After all, this is what I did when I was in crisis during my travels before. I went on reconnaissance and searched for traps alone, and I was often at the forefront. The crisis was always around me.

"So, what do we do now? Just wait here for rescue? Or do we continue the operation?"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and swallow his saliva.

"...What's wrong?" asked the black-haired magician, looking over here anxiously.

No, to be honest, this statement is really surprising.

It was different from the arrogance I expected.

Rumor has it that the arrogant Frodo Volgograd would actually seek advice from here?

That's right, after all, it's just a rumor, and it's just an image inferred based on past events told by Candice, so my influence on her might be wrong.

Of course, it is also possible that there is nothing wrong with my perception of her image, it’s just a matter of timing.

Undoubtedly, the current Frodo should be just a fledgling talented magician, rather than the reformer of magic.

He sighed softly, sorted out the supplies he had with him, and then lit a fire in a simple candlestick covered with monster fat.

"Then let's get started. Don't let your employer fall. I'll lead the way, as I'm used to this kind of situation. Please follow behind, holding the candle."

"It's pitch black ahead... Can adventurers see clearly ahead even in the darkness?"
