Chapter 129 The Unleashed Magic

"Hmm~ I see~"

Dorothy tilted her head to the side, and the wind carried the distant sounds clearly to her ears.

"So that's why Corsol and Kane are here~"

At that moment, Dorothy looked like a cat that had just stolen some fish, a smug look on her face.

"Chloe's blessing is really useful. Anna, do you want to know what those two people we just met were talking about?"

Dorothy asked Anna in a slightly mischievous tone.

Anna pointed to her pointed ears.

"With just a little training, we elves can achieve the level of being blessed by the wind."

"Alright." Dorothy immediately lost interest in continuing to seduce Anna.

However, the elves' hearing is so sharp; I should remember that. It seems those pointed ears weren't for nothing.

"And then what? What are you going to do? Mind your own business," Anna asked.

Dorothy immediately shook her head.

"No, no, no, I only meddle because I thought I was dying too slowly. Let's go now and turn in the mission."

Dorothy immediately turned and walked toward Slippery Stone Village.

She had absolutely no concern for the lives of Kosor and Kane.

Kane found her troublesome last time and abandoned them midway through the mission.

Now Dorothy also thinks Kane is a problem.

Anyone capable of injuring Kosol must be at least a mage.

Although Dorothy is also a mage, she has no reason to involve herself in danger caused by others.

Dorothy then immediately told Anna to retreat.

Quickly return to the village, find Old Peter, and retrieve the monster's corpse.

Old Peter nodded repeatedly in delight when he saw the carcass of the great deer lying on the ground.

"Yes, yes, that's it! It's what destroyed our farmland!"

As he spoke, old Peter walked over to the carcass of the great stag and kicked it twice in anger.

"Serves you right for causing trouble! Serves you right for causing trouble!"

After kicking him twice, old Peter had vented his anger.

After all, it was this monster that caused them to spend ten silver coins to hire mercenaries for help.

Old Peter rubbed his hands together and approached Dorothy and Anna with a fawning expression.

"Hehehe, you two have worked hard."

Faced with the fawning old Peter, Dorothy bent down and put the carcass of the great stag back into her storage space. She said calmly, "Village Chief Peter, we'll have to trouble you to come with us to the Mercenary Guild."

"Of course, of course," Old Peter nodded in agreement.

Although he looked down on the young Dorothy and Anna, he wasn't stupid and knew he couldn't offend the mercenaries.

So he readily agreed to whatever Dorothy asked for, afraid of upsetting her.

Especially considering that the incredibly strong stag in his eyes was actually killed by the seemingly young Dorothy, it showed that Dorothy was quite powerful, far beyond what he, the old village chief who was about to die, could compare to.

"Please wait here, I'll go and bring the horse to you right away."

A short while later, Peter came over leading an old horse.

The old horse was harnessed and had rough fur. Much of the hair around its neck had been worn away. When it was led over, it walked with a slight limp, and its hooves had not been trimmed for a long time.

Although it wasn't particularly good-looking, this old horse was one of the few prominent horses in the village.

It can be used for both plowing and grinding.

At times like now, it can also be used to see guests off.

When he led the old horse out, old Peter had a faint sense of pride on his face.

Because the neighboring village doesn't even have a horse like that.

This old horse was also a topic of conversation for Peter when he went out to brag to the other village chiefs.

"Please, gentlemen, get on board. I'll use it to carry you to the Mercenary Guild."

Old Peter patted the horse's back with great confidence, inviting Dorothy and Anna to mount.

Dorothy had no habit of mistreating Old Man Marcus, so she naturally declined Peter's invitation.

Peter, who was rejected, showed a regretful expression.

He also wanted the two mercenaries to ride in his precious ride.

This way, he would have new topics to talk about when he went to drink with the old stubborn man next door.

However, with a horse, even an old one, Dorothy and her companions could leave much faster.

So, somewhat bewildered, old Peter mounted his horse and followed Dorothy and Anna out of the village.

Peter held the reins in his hand, looking at the two little girls running ahead of him, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He was constantly amazed by Dorothy and Anna's prowess; he couldn't even catch up with them on horseback.

Peter was about to call out to Dorothy and Anna to slow down and wait for him, as his horse was struggling to keep up.

Dorothy and Anna suddenly stopped, and Peter darted off, startling him so much that he quickly tightened the reins.

"Whoa! Whoa! What's wrong, gentlemen?" Peter turned to the two men who had stopped and asked.

Dorothy and Anna exchanged a glance, then looked together toward the low hill behind Slippery Stone Village.

Dorothy was somewhat surprised: "So fast?"

Then she immediately smiled with relief: "Hehe, luckily we ran fast."

At that moment, Dorothy sensed an astonishing magical power erupting from the small hill.

Anna turned to Peter: "It's nothing, let's keep going."

She slapped the old horse's rump directly, startling it. The old horse neighed and started running wildly.

If they were caught by the enemy, the fate of Thor and his apprentice would be predictable.

Unlike Dorothy, who was willing to linger a little longer to watch the excitement, Anna had absolutely no interest.

Now, in Anna's heart, the most important person is Dorothy.

Not only because of the Queen's order, but also because during the two months they spent together in the Dark Elf city, Anna discovered some of Dorothy's good qualities.

When Anna came to her senses, she realized that she had shifted her gaze to Dorothy.

Anna's gaze softened slightly as she looked at Dorothy.

"Aren't you leaving?" she asked softly.

Dorothy looked away.

"Let's go."

The magic that just erupted wasn't Kosol's, but it was still at the level of a mage.

And it wasn't just one, it was two.

Given her condition when she first met Kosol, she might still have some ability to protect herself against an opponent of similar strength.

But if there are two—

It seems the chances of survival are slim.

Dorothy didn't know what happened on the other side of the hill, but after completing the mission, she successfully raised her mercenary rank from Dust Sand to Iron Black.

After that, she will be able to take on more escort or combat missions.

With Dorothy's current strength, leveling up her mercenary rank will become much easier.

However, Dorothy's original plan to travel around more was disrupted because of her encounter with Kothor and Kane.

So Anna and I simply returned to the City of Apprentices.

Ten days later.

The two returned at the end of November.

At this time, many busy figures can be seen in the city of apprentices.

Because the winter festival is next month.

During the last winter festival, Dorothy was still struggling to make ends meet.

Now, she is a powerful magician.
