The Water Magician

It’s a very short intermission...

About one thousand kilometers south of Markdorf, the Imperial Capital of the Debuhi Empire.

A party of seven was heading south along the highway.

“Hey Roman, are we really going to the Naitorei Kingdom?”

“Yes. I’m really curious about the ‘water attribute mage’ that Lord Oscar mentioned.”

“Gordon, how many days have you been saying that... We’re right at the border of the kingdom, aren’t we?”

Gordon, the Fire Attribute Mage of the Hero Party, was indeed starting to want to return to the Western Nations, but Hero Roman wanted to grow stronger, and the scout Maurice was exasperated with Gordon.

“I’m not good with cold places, so I’m in favor of heading south.”

“Yeah, it’s definitely better to be warm than cold.”

Bellrock, the Dwarf Earth Attribute Mage, and Alicia, the Wind Attribute Mage, both disliked the cold, so they were in favor of moving to the Naitorei Kingdom located to the south of the Empire.

Meanwhile, the Enchanter Ashkan remained silent, and Graham, the oldest negotiator, sighed inwardly for various reasons.

Since then, the Hero Party had been at the Empire’s magic training grounds.

Of course, it was to train and grow stronger... primarily due to Hero Roman’s wishes.

In the first place, the purpose of the Hero Party is to “defeat the demon king.”

To achieve that, they mainly receive support in the form of funding from the Western Nations and are actively engaged.

Moreover, reports of the demon king’s emergence were coming from the eastern regions of the Western Nations.

That’s why they previously set traps, such as creating an artificial “altar.”

As a result, what they caught was not the demon king, but rather “Demon Leonor.”

From there, various gears went awry, and now the Hero Party found themselves in the Debuhi Empire of the Central Nations.

“Well, we definitely became stronger by training with that division, but…”

“Right! If we train with strong people, we can become even stronger!”

Hero Roman quickly latched onto Gordon’s words.

His driving principle at this moment was simply the desire to “become stronger.”

“But we don’t even know the name of the ‘water attribute mage’ from the kingdom, do we?”

“Yes... In the end, Mr. Oscar didn’t tell us…”

At Maurice’s words, Hero Roman hung his head.

“I hope we can get some valuable information in the royal capital…”

Honestly, the oldest Graham didn’t want to spend more time on this, but seeing Roman motivated was a good thing, making it quite difficult to steer the course.

At the very least, he didn’t want to waste time on information gathering.

This is the first part of today’s chapter.

I will post the main story “0109” at the usual time of 9 PM.
