Magic Is Learned For Nothing [EN]: Chapter 56

Don’t Go To That Village 2

The leader of the Lycanthropes, Cheomajeo, tilted his head, looking at the stout figure in front of him.

He was out hunting with his pack.

Lycanthropes typically appear as humans. Therefore, many Lycanthropes infiltrate and live in human villages.

However, there are limits to this, so Lycanthropes usually gather together to form their own villages. Among the various races, Lycanthropes live lives most similar to humans, with the exception of Elves and Dwarves.

However, they are often treated more like monsters than other races because they consume human flesh.

When the full moon rises and magic surges, their carnivorous instincts are unleashed.

Like tonight.

This winter, unusually severe cold waves had been frequent.

Because of this, food had become scarce.

In fact, had they known such a severe cold was coming, they would have hunted extensively before winter and traded with humans, selling bear and tiger skins for supplies.

But there was no use regretting it now.

However, only a few hours into the hunt, a very fat human was wandering around near the village.

He’s really fat.

Humans like that taste better grilled than raw.

Cheomajeo and his pack, who hadn’t eaten meat in a while, swallowed hard.

“Shall we take him out right away?”

A subordinate asked.

“No, look at him. Doesn’t he look delicious because he’s so fat? It might be bait. Let’s observe him for a moment.”

“Ah, I see. Bait. I understand.”

The subordinate nodded.

They held their breath and followed the fat man for about an hour.

“He’s lost in the mountains. Capture him. He’s a gift from the heavens.”

Lycanthrope leader Cheomajeo’s order was given.

The men’s human forms rapidly changed. Hair grew thick, and their snouts became pointed. Their gentle faces disappeared, replaced by a powerful, murderous aura.

-Krrr, my mouth is watering.

The men, transformed into werewolves, moved towards the fat man with incredible speed.

Legion had already sensed the Lycanthropes’ presence. Mark had scanned the area and alerted him.

-Lycanthropes detected, six in total. Minimum combined combat power 380, maximum 590. Weaker than you, but considerable speed. Recommend familiarizing yourself with their speed.

Legion nodded.

So he waited. The guys were quite cautious.

It’s freezing, but they’ve been tailing me for over an hour without attacking.

So he settled down.

He gathered dry branches, lit a bonfire, and grilled jerky he had in his bag. Oh! What a delicious smell. This smell will stimulate their salivary glands.

As expected, Legion’s prediction was correct.

As his intelligence increases, he can roughly predict their movements. Having high intelligence is a very good thing.

Five Lycanthropes with bloodshot eyes attacked him.

The Lycanthrope punched Legion’s head with great speed.

Paah! Crack!

-Kuaaaaak!

Oh dear. Why did you have to hit that spot? I don’t know why most enemies aim for the head first.

The Lycanthrope’s wrist was broken.

The bone protruded, looking gruesome. He looked back and forth between Legion and his wrist in disbelief.

-Krrrl! You stupid bastard! I brought you along because you begged to join the hunt.

A guy who looked a little older than the fallen one jumped out.

Now, it’s time to show the power of the staff.

Legion took out the staff from his chest.

-Keoeok! A, are you a wizard?

The Lycanthropes were startled. No matter how powerful a Lycanthrope is, they are still vulnerable to wizards. In particular, they have almost no resistance to fire magic.

Then there is only one way for them to survive!

Kill him before he uses magic.

-Kuaaaaak! Everyone attack!

The guy moved quickly. Legion was raising his mana when he met the guy’s eyes.

Mark, what should I do?

-Complete the spell quickly!

I can’t remember the formula.

-…….

Legion thought harder. He couldn’t remember the formula, and even the spell was fading from his memory. But his body seemed to remember the movements.

Legion’s hand swung lightly.

Paak!

Because of its weight, the rotating staff’s destructive power was unusually strong.

-Kuek!

The Lycanthropes hit by the staff had their heads smashed and were rolling on the floor.

Legion sighed deeply as he looked at the collapsing and struggling Lycanthropes.

Now I remember the formula.

-Are you really an idiot?

Well, what can I do if my body reacts faster than my head? But how can these Lycanthropes not even block one hit from this staff?

-Experience has increased. Combined combat power has increased to 862.

That’s a relief. At least the experience is going up. I’ve been training hard lately, so my combined combat power has increased quite a bit.

-What’s the point? What are you going to use the combined combat power that a wizard made with physical strength instead of magic for?

Damn it! You said it was good because I could use it even in solo play!

-Did I say that? No way. Wizards have to use magic. How can you, with your bad head, remember something like that?

Damn Mark!

Ah, whatever! Anyway, I’m accumulating experience, and my combined combat power is increasing, so, come out, leader.

Legion looked at the huge Lycanthrope.

He could tell at a glance that he was the leader. The powerful fighting spirit was enough for Legion to feel it.

-Keoaaaang! What the hell are you? Are you a knight? A warrior?

“What the hell is that bastard saying?”

Legion grabbed the staff and swung it.

Paak!

Cheomajeo’s teeth were all knocked out by the staff.

“It’s obvious that I’m a wizard, you idiot!”

* * *

Jonas visited the territory after receiving the message.

“You came?”

Legion greeted her happily.

“You look good.”

Jonas asked with a smile.

“Really?”

“Yeah, your complexion is bright.”

“You should take care of your skin.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. It looks rough.”

Jonas’s expression twisted. It was obvious that he was indirectly saying that she had become ugly. Jonas had never heard anyone say that she was ugly before.

Jonas didn’t know that Legion’s standards had become seriously low.

“Where are the grooms?”

“Are you going to see them right away?”

“Of course, that’s why I came here. You didn’t take them away and they didn’t run away, did they? Well, it would be difficult to run away anyway.”

“Hmph! What do you think of me! They all chose it themselves. I only picked people with firm will. Furthermore, all of them are bachelors! Not even one who has been married before.”

“People who have been married before?”

“Divorced men or men who have lived together, or something like that.”

“That’s a relief. Our Orc female warriors are all pure women who have never even touched a man’s hand.”

Legion nodded forcibly.

Um… except for ugly women like you, it’s hard to believe that those pretty Orc women have never even touched a man’s hand… but I’ll pretend to believe it.

Legion took Jonas to the mansion’s dining room.

A large dining room. Lately, as the family has grown, it has been extensively renovated according to my uncle’s words, and that’s why. The fact that guests are starting to visit is also contributing to the construction.

Today, Bowl and twenty-nine mercenaries who have decided to get married occupied such a place.

It’s big enough to have an interview.

When Legion entered the dining room, thirty mercenaries dressed in suits stood up from their seats. They politely greeted Legion and Jonas. It was a little clumsy, but Jonas didn’t care.

What was important to her was men with good ‘seeds’, not polite men.

“Sit down. Sit down.”

Legion gestured for the mercenaries to sit down.

“Wow~.”

“She’s so pretty.”

“Are we really going to marry a woman like that?”

The mercenaries’ murmuring could be heard. Their eyes also became sparkling. Seeing such mercenaries, Legion smiled with satisfaction.

The thorough brainwashing and customized education had paid off.

Jonas looked over the mercenaries.

She also asks personal questions one by one.

Can you live in our Orc village? Because trade with humans is possible, you can often come to the human world. The Orc tribe’s greatest goal is to increase the population, so you have to work very hard at night, etc.

The mercenaries liked it very, very much.

In particular, the men’s unique bluffing was rampant in the part about having to work hard all night.

“I used to be called the King of the Night in my hometown.”

“You’ll be surprised when you see my urine stream. It goes over 3 meters.”

“Only 3 meters? I can go 7 meters.”

“Why are you comparing acorns [penises]? I can go 20 meters.”

Their bluffing was brought to an end by Jonas’s words.

“Everyone who just spoke, stand up and show me.”

“H, here?”

“Then do it here. Where else would you do it?”

“Stop! Don’t do that in my house. Just try it. Go out and do it. In the forest over there.”

Legion hurriedly stopped them.

Inevitably, the mercenaries had to go outside and compete to see who could pee the farthest. Unfortunately, there was no one whose urine stream exceeded 2 meters.

“I’m sorry about this. I don’t think they’ll be very useful after all.”

Legion scratched the back of his head as he looked at their urine streams.

“It’s okay. I was lucky enough to get Hydra meat this time.”

“Hydra meat?”

“Yeah, with Hydra meat, you can revive even dead things.”

“It has that kind of effect?”

Legion’s eyes widened.

He still didn’t know that dozens of couples had been born because of the Hydra meat he had spread.

“Yeah, Zenon also saw the effects.”

“I see.”

Legion licked his lips. He couldn’t tell whether it was something to be envious of or something to be pitied.

“Are you going to take them all?”

“Of course, they seem useful. When will the second batch be ready?”

What is it, a product? A second batch.

“Wait a little bit. It’s not something that’s easily created. You have to put in a lot of effort and persuasion for quite a long time.”

“Yeah, I know. I know you’re working hard for us. Our Orc female warriors are all grateful to you.”

“Don’t be grateful. We’re helping each other.”

“So…….”

Jonas placed a large box she was holding on the table. When she opened the box, so many jewels popped out that it was impossible to convert them into money. It was really eye-popping.

Even Legion, who was greedy for jewels, clicked his tongue.

What a windfall.

“These are the jewels that our tribe has collected. I don’t know how valuable they are. They’ll probably be much more useful to you than to us.”

“Thank you.”

Legion smiled brightly from the bottom of his heart.

I feel good for the first time in a while. With this many rare jewels, I could probably learn about 10 passive skills.

Oops.

I shouldn’t just dismantle them this time. After doing some more research. I might go crazy if a strange passive skill is activated this time too.

If you live as a fat person for the rest of your life, you will be given infinite magic power. What a fantastic skill combination.

“Then I’ll go.”

“Already?”

“Yeah, spring is coming soon, so I have a lot to do. I also have to install a defensive wall.”

“Defensive wall?”

“We have a lot of enemies. War with other Orc tribes is constant. That’s why our population is small.”

“Oh, that’s right. I hope you have a lot of children this year too.”

“Thank you for your kind words. I will never forget that I have always received a lot of help from you.”

“Don’t mention it, we’re helping each other. Okay, everyone, pack your bags. We’re leaving the territory right away.”

When Legion shouted, thirty mercenaries dressed in suits found their personal belongings and slung them over their shoulders.

“Thank you. Lord.”

“I will never forget this grace.”

“I’ll see you later.”

In the meantime, the mercenaries had completely changed and left the territory. They followed Jonas to the village of Amazon Orc female warriors.

-What do you think of them?

Mark asked calmly.

What?

-I mean the Orc female warriors. If you meet them… do you think they’ll be okay? I think Jonas tricked you.

What? They’re all prettier than Jonas.

-……Ah, this…… this is a big problem.

Mark fell into serious thought for the first time in a long time.
