Chapter 619: I’m a Fan of the Living Armor
The bandits looked at the situation in front of them. It was too confusing for them to understand. And I’m just watching them being confused.
I could hear what so of the bandits are talking about. They are indeed friends with those three in front of the camp.
“Hey, what do we do here? Boss said that he would join their camp, but he’s still out there,” one of the bandits asked.
“I don’t know. Seems like there’s a barrier protecting the camp. Should we continue chasing for the boss?” another bandit asked.
Not only were these bandits are connected with the three people in front of the camp. But one of the three is actually their boss. But which one? The small one? The man? Or the woman?
Whichever case, since the bandit group is split from their boss, they don’t know what to do. It’s all up to their boss.
After stopping for a while, soone finally made his first move. The small man is the one making the first move.
.....
“Mom! Dad! Let’s escape! They said that they will delay the bandits, right? So it’s fine if we escape! The bandits will go after them instead!” the small man said while acting like a child.
I have to say that he’s a good actor indeed. But that will only work if he’s actually that young. But he’s not. The people in the camp also know that. And so of them couldn’t even hold back their laughter so they retreated into the tent. But I guess Burnes is doing very well. He can hold his expression back. He’s indeed our second best clown after .
Though so of them are actually looking at the small man in disgust. But the small man didn’t notice it. Which is good.
Seems like it’s obvious who the leader of the bandit group is. The one with a wanted poster in lk. The small man.
After he said his piece, the bandits return back to their ferocious mood and started shouting to attack the camp instead of chasing the three people.
“This camp is much bigger than three people! We’ll capture them instead!”
“But there’s a barrier protecting them! What do we do?”
“Just wait until the barrier is gone. There’s no way the barrier can stand for a long ti!”
The man who acted as the bandit leader lead the bandits to surround the camp. As for those three who acted like parents and son, they were about to leave.
No, they can’t leave. I think it’s best to bring just the small man at least to llian. Although he has no wanted poster there, I can bring one from lk and show it to Hill or the others there. We can then get the reward from bringing him in.
It’s ti to make my move. And with Ray’s speed, we’re in front of the camp in no ti.
“What the... Who are you!?” the one acting as the bandit leader asked when I suddenly cut in between him and the camp.
Of course I didn’t answer. I’m a living armor. And I’m not supposed to say anything.
“Oh! Is that the real thing? The living armor who defeated the giant salamander back during the stampede?”
Inside the barrier, Burnes follow-up my appearance as he introduces to everyone. The other agents also looked excited seeing and say things to praise .
“Oh, the living armor who helped people in trouble? I heard that it was just so rumors. But it’s true?” another circus perforrs said.
“Well, let’s see what he will do. Oh, where’s Roy? He’s a big fan of the living armor!”
“He’s asleep in his tent! When he’s sleeping, not even earthquake can wake him up!”
“Then he will miss everything. What a sha. At least we can continue telling him what we witnessed tonight.”
“We can wake him up by pouring water on his pants though. Should we?”
“Hmm... that’s an interesting idea, but let’s not do that. Because we might be the one who will miss the living armor in action.”
What is this? All the circus perforrs are bullying ? They made a fan of myself? That’s not wrong but I can’t say that’s right either.
Sigh... I guess I’ll be a fan of the living armor and help spreading the rumor as well.
Well, let’s just kill the bandits except for the three. For now, I’m a living armor who thinks that these three are not related with the bandits at all. Though just the circus troupe alone is more than enough to handle them. But they are still inside the barrier.
With Reizpear in my hand, which I still keep inside my pocket even after I got more weapons, I slash and stab the bandits while riding on the abyss horse, Ray. The bandits are panicking because their magic were easily dodged by . and the stray magic attack that attacking the other circus perforrs were stopped by the barrier. Only the three people need to protect themselves from the stray magic.
I took care of the bandits easily. And by the ti the barrier finally opened, all the bandits have been defeated. Leaving only the circus perforrs and the three people who were pretending to be chased by the bandits.
As expected, their expression turn bad seeing how I killed their friends. But they can’t do anything. Who is the stupid one who had the idea to infiltrate soone’s camp to let their guard down? Probably the small man’s idea.
In the wanted poster, there’s only a picture of him. The description says that he look like a child but he’s an adult. It wasn’t known yet whether he worked with the bandits voluntarily or not, but he’s the only clue to capturing the bandits in the area who often targeting traveling carriages.
But with my words, or any of the circus perforrs’ word, they would believe that this small man is actually the leader of the group. We can safely brought him to llian and make him think that we are protecting him. But once we’re there, we will give him to the guards.
I killed all the bandits easily. And then I looked at the three people and the circus mbers who are acting as if they are looking at with respect and awe before I left the area.
After disappearing, I opened a portal to one of the tent inside the camp. And then I pretend that I just woke up from sleep.
“Hey, what’s the ruckus?” I asked while rubbing my eyes to make myself look sleepy.
“Hey, Roy! You missed the living armor that you love so much. He killed those bandit group and left right away,” Burnes said to .
“Oh, fuck! I should have stayed up! And those are the bandits?” I pointed at the dead bodies on the ground.
“Yes. The living armor killed them in just five minutes!” Burnes said excitedly. He’s such a great actor.
“Sigh... fine. And those three are?” I asked about the identities of the three people who I shouldn’t know about.
“They were being chased by the bandits before the living armor ca. Oh, right! Hey, the three of you! Co join us! We will travel to llian. We’ll protect you till we get there!” Burnes said.
I can see in one of the tent, Thomas who returned early panicked a bit when Burnes said that. He’s the only normal person here. The rest are not normal.
I’ll tell him to keep staying inside the carriage the whole ti during our journey so our act won’t be discovered by these three.
The three people who were in shock seeing all their friends were dead looked angry. I can see that the small man seems to be prepared to use magic. But if he does, his disguise will be discovered. I can’t have that. I want to enjoy seeing their expression during our journey to llian.
“Hey, you! Go clean up those dead bodies! We don’t want to be noticed by monsters because of the sll. You’re an expert level earth mage so take care of them. And you, you’re a expert level wind mage. Blow a wind to make the scent of blood disappears,” I said as I pretend to sulk because I didn’t et the living armor.
Hearing that we have at least two expert level mages, the three people were in cold sweat. They didn’t expect that we would be that strong.
About those expert level mages, they were sent by Albert and old man Henry. Although they need strong mages in their army, they still send expert level mages here thinking that it would be safer this way. And it’s also an agreent with Thomas who is just an ordinary human with low level magic. Since I would often leave, he needed protection so the circus can go on. And Albert then sent the earth mage while old man Henry sent the wind mage.
The earth mage pushed the corpses aside, and bury them on the ground away from the road. And the wind mage blow a powerful wind to make the scent of blood disappear.
“Even if the living armor wasn’t here, we could easily take care of the bandits easily,” Burnes said.
“But I want to et him. Whatever. Hey, you three! Co in and have so al. We’ll take you to llian!” I said.
“Ah... umm... we’re fine! We can just... find nearby village on our own!” the man said. The one pretending to be the father.
“There’s no village nearby. And llian is much closer than any village. Or is there any reason why you don’t want to co with us? Suspicious...” I said while pretending to be in deep thought.
The small man then noticed that he can’t escape, so he pulled the hand of the woman and the woman figured out what they need to do.
“In that case, please take care of us. Thank you for saving our lives” the woman said.
She’s better than the man. Though the small man is still smarter.
“We’ll prepare another tent just for you three. Family must not be separated after all. You can rest right away. No need to worry about night watch. We have expert level mages with us,” Burnes added.
Those three have no escape. They will be brought to justice in llian.
But what I didn’t expect was such thing won’t happen. Two days after the three joined us, sothing unexpected happened. And without hesitation, I ended up killing those three.
