Chapter 3: Robbery.

 

 

December 19, 2022

The road was wide enough for the wagons of these traders to pass side by side with some room to spare, and the first two wagons were placed horizontally to block the road. The other two wagons were placed vertically to block the road, which was wide enough for the wagons of this troop to pass side by side with some room to spare.

The road surface had been trampled by horse-drawn wagons and people, so it was not too bad as a foothold compared to other roads.

A gentle breeze blowing from the left side of the road brought the scent of summer grass and tickled my nostrils. In the direction the wind was coming from, short grass grew thickly on the gentle slopes, forming a vast meadow more than five kilometers long.

If there was to be an ambush, it would be on this side.

When we looked away from the meadow, which did not seem suitable for an ambush, to the right side of the road, we found a dense, deep forest where an ambush might be lurking.

Looking ahead again, we see five goblins walking along the road, cautiously watching the road.

The distance separating us from the goblins is about five meters.

Although they are made of simple horse-drawn carriages, we have built a position and there are many more.

Are the goblins really so unintelligent as to stand up to such an opponent?

Even if they had deployed ambush troops, I don't think this advantage could be reversed so easily.

While he has these doubts, he looks at the approaching goblins and thinks about the results of my own skill rating and that of the goblins.

 

--[Skill Robbery Type A]

 

The one that seemed most useful.

No restrictions on use.

Requires bare skin contact with the subject.

If the skill is used ten times at level 1, it rises to level 2 regardless of success or failure.

 

Above all, there is no limitation on use, and even if you fail, the level goes up. You can fail without worrying. It is a good skill. It's a skill you should give top priority to.

But, unfortunately, the conditions for raising the skill from level 2 to level 3 are unknown.

And there are goblins with [Fire Magic Level 1] and [Wind Magic Level 1], and goblins with [Sword Art Level 1] and [Shield Art Level 1] in front of me.

 

The other goblins either have no skills or have skills above level 2. Level 2 skills are attractive, but let's take it slow and make sure we get the power. If you can afford it, look for skills above level 2.

 

Now, how do I make contact? It looks like the opponent will die before we make contact.

 

The guards around me seem reliable, so we simulate the flow from contact to steal quite comfortably.

 

"Brother don't go ahead."

 

 

"I'm sure he's right. you're a light mage, so stay behind me."

 

From the shadow of the carriage on the other side, I hear the worried voices of the escort people.

 

"Thank you very much.  I won't go in front because it would slow you down. But please let me stay here."

 

He answered the guards and I peeked out in front with more than half of my body hidden behind the carriage.

 

The street goblins slowly advance towards us, with the two in the vanguard raising their shields.

 

That's their objective, then. It's a brazen move, as if they want us to shoot arrows at them.

 

 

"What are you doing, brother ? Don't you dare take a step ahead of the carriage!"

 

 

Carla, one of the only three women in the convoy, grabbed me by the neck and pulled me back, where I could use the carriage as a shield. Apparently, I had gotten too far ahead of her.

 

"I'm sorry," I said, "I'm not used to this. "

 

I bowed deeply to Mrs. Cara as I half sat down to hide in the shadow of the carriage.

 

The first thing you have to do is to get an idea of what you want to do. I had never been in a fight before.

 

Besides, I might have been in a hurry to take advantage of the opportunity that had presented itself so quickly.

 

"Brother, it's not safe here either. Be very careful. There may be more ambushing us , especially on the forest side. "

 

Carla-san said, then leaned her characteristic white spear, made of something that looked like bone, against the cart. Then she replaced it with a large bow and arrows.

 

"Yes, thank you. I'll be careful."

 

In response to Carla's words, I turned my attention to the forest that stretched to the right of the carriage.

 

It is true that the forest is deep as soon as you move away from the road, . The forest was thick and green, partly due to the summer season. Large-leaved plants and tall grasses grew thickly. It was a good place to hide.

 

I search the forest with my eyes, but see no suspicious activity.

 

I return my gaze to the elf in front of me and simulate stealing again.

 

No, there is almost no chance that I can make contact with the goblin while it is still alive.

 

More importantly, there are more of them and their skill level is higher than ours. Ten members of the escort team and eleven merchants will fight, so a total of twenty-one people will take part in the fight.

 

The numbers are overwhelming.

 

The most important thing to remember is that goblins are not very smart. I'm not going to take any chances, no matter how great the difference in strength.

 

Besides, there is no advantage to anyone but me. It is out of the question.

 

I'll have to tolerate and say that, if we're lucky, we'll rob them. Even that's a very fanciful idea, when you think about it.

 

Here they come. Watch out for the back three. The archers can use magic to distract them. And don't neglect the flanks.

 

Enos-san, eyes fixed on the goblins in front of him, gives another set of instructions.

 

It's amazing, I didn't expect the three in the rear to be able to use magic. Once again, this convoy of people seems reliable.

 

The two goblins in the vanguard approach this way and shoot arrows at the three in the rear.

 

The goblins look surprised, as if they did not expect the attackers to ignore the vanguard and attack them from the rear.

 

The three goblins in the rear are hit by several arrows each, and one of them dies.

 

The other two are also dying. Please don't let him die. As I prayed and watched, three arrows pierced my feet.

 

At the same time, I felt a tremendous heat in my right shoulder.

 

Had I been attacked? Fire magic?

 

"It was coming from the side. As expected. There are more of them than before. Watch out."

 

Enos-san's instruction flew from the front.

 

It wasn't until I was attacked that I recognized my own stupidity and the flank attack.

Wow, suddenly I was wounded in my first battle.

 

The heat in my right shoulder was not from a fire magic attack, but from an arrow.

 

I guess arrows feel hot before they wound. I thought nonchalantly, but I was actually pulling the arrow out with tears in my eyes.

 

There was a return on the tip of the arrow. When I pulled it out, my flesh scraped and I felt intense pain. I felt like fainting , but it was fortunate that I used light magic while pulling it out, or I wouldn't have shown such an abomination as fainting.

 

Next to me, Carla from the escort team was looking at me with a surprised expression.

I wondered if the scene where she was pulling the arrow out of my body, was too hard for the woman.

 

I pretended not to notice Carla and healed my wound with light magic.

 

Just to be safe, I also use light magic for detoxification.

 

Even if it didn't have poison in it, it was an arrow the goblin had and it was disgusting.

 

 

The battle with the goblins that attacked from the flanks continues, but their numbers had decreased considerably and they are retreating from the path into the forest. It is only a matter of time.

 

With that in mind, I assess the two goblins approaching from the front, who were but a breath of fresh air.

 

They are alive. When he confirms the survival of the goblins that can use magic, I rush towards them. They are dying, I have to hurry.

 

The two goblins are still alive.

 

The battle continues, but it doesn't matter. If I go, I will only slow them down. My priority now was to get the power.

 

I activate the [Ability Steal Type A Skill] as written on the goddess's letter.

I put my hand on the goblin's face and mentally shout.

 

Type A, activate!

 

I activate【Skill Robbery Type A】against goblins that can use【Fire Magic Level 1】and【Wind Magic Level 1】.

 

failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure 

 

Five consecutive failures.

Ah, well. I'm not going to get discouraged.

 

Success! I have caught [Fire Magic Level 1]. I can feel it without evaluating it.

 

I take more.

 

Fail, fail, success. Well, I also took 【Wind Magic Level 1】 from it.

 

 After removing two spells from him, the goblin is of no use to me. I change the target to the goblin next to him to finish him off.

 

Then, continuously activate type A on the other goblin.

I failed continuously, but finally got it [Earth Magic Level 2].

 

In addition, the [Robo Skill Type A] also leveled up and became level 2. Yes! That's a good start, isn't it?

 

I couldn't help but let my heart shrink.

 

After finishing off the goblins that provided me with the earth magic, I turned my attention towards the forest.

 

Only half of the guards were in a place I could see from here. The rest seemed to have moved deeper into the forest.

 

However, judging from what I could see and hear, there was no sign of any fighting going on.

It seems to be over.

 

We headed into the forest where the guards were to see if there was any prey: surviving goblins.

 

As we entered the forest, we saw the guards about a hundred yards in the background.

 

"I was surprised to see them. You are all very strong."

 

I called out to the guards who were in the shallower part of the forest.

 

It looked like the battle was over after all. The ones who had been chasing Enos through the forest stopped around here.

 

"You were able to finish them off , thank you very much."

 

"No, that's all I can do.  I'm very glad to be with all of you."

 

I express my gratitude to the escort who thanked me, although I feel quite guilty. No, this gratitude is genuine.

 

I look down at my feet and see only a living goblin.

 

He has [Sword Art Level 1] and [Shield Art Level 1].

 

Yes! He has punched me in the heart.

 

I duck and grab the skill while pretending to finish him off.

 

 Type A, activate!

 

As expected from Level 2. I only needed to make one mistake in each of the two Level 1 skills.

 

After taking the skill, I finished off the goblin and set about cleaning up the fallen tree.

 

 

"Michinaga, why don't you take care of the work for the removal and check this side of the road.'"

 

As I was helping to remove the fallen tree, Mr. Enos called out to me from the vicinity of the center wagon.

 

"Yes, sir?"

 

The people I was working with told me to go to Mr. Enos' house because they had enough here, and I hurried up to the center wagon.

 

"Excuse me, could you cure them for me? Of course I'll pay you."

 

Mr. Enos indicated that there were two guards with minor limb wounds and two merchant apprentices with arrow wounds.

 

"Healing, right? I understand. But I don't need any fee. I am in a position to help them. "

 

I gladly accepted and, without waiting for the other party's response, I immediately began the healing process.

 

The most important thing to remember is that light magic costs nothing, it will heal until the magic runs out.

 

Thanks to you, I now have a means of attack. I feel like I am more powerful. Well, actually, yes.

 

 

 

 I started healing them quickly.

 

 

 

 ◇ ◇

 

 

 "I still have other minor wounds and injuries."

 

"If anyone else still has minor wounds or injuries, please bring them to me."

 

When I finished healing the merchant apprentice's arrow wound, I asked for help. 

 

The expressions on the merchant apprentice and guard's faces tighten at my words.

 

Huh? You weren't surprised before when I showed you how I used light magic in front of you, were you? Why are you surprised now?

 

"You said you can still heal? You were healing your own shoulder just now, weren't you, is everything okay there?"

 

Carla pulled out a young merchant's apprentice with a fresh cut.

 

"Yes, I'm fine."

 

"I see. Well, take care of this one for me too."

 

She lightly patted my right shoulder with her left hand and I showed a relaxed expression, and Kara-san pushed the boy she had brought over to me.

 

I take off his freshly applied bandages and start healing him with light magic.

 

Come to think of it, light magic has been level 5 from the beginning. Is it like that for all transferees? While healing the boy, he remembered his own level of light magic.

 

"You have such a high level of magical power, that alone makes you one of the best light magic users. You can get anywhere you want with just your light magic and magic power."

 

"The amount of magic power is also amazing, but even deep wounds heal with great speed. why don't you join us? You don't have to answer right now. Take your time and think about it." 

 

carla-san looked at me while healing the boy and said with a serious expression on her face, followed by Enos-san, who had somehow come to my side.

 

"Thank you very much. I appreciate the offer, but I'd like to think about it for a while."

 

I was slightly disconcerted by the sudden rise in my own reputation, but I wanted to calm down a bit and get the information.... 

 

 ◇ ◇

 

I see, I'm one of the best light magic users in this world. 

 

If that's the case, it's very likely that all the people who have transferred like me have become top-notch magicians. It's a good idea to look for the transferees I haven't seen yet and cooperate with each other.

 

Most of the fallen trees have been cleared. The caravan will be on its way soon.

 

I climbed into the wagon and thought about the future while playing with Marielle.

 

I don't know what the average level of magic is in this world, but even in this convoy, which is considered very skilled, the one with the highest level of magic is the captain, Enos-san's [fire magic level 3], and Barry-san's [wind magic level 3]. And Barry's [wind magic level 3]. The others, even if they have magic, they are level 1. There are more people who don't have magic. No, there was one person who has [water magic level 2] and one person who has [fire magic level 2] among the captains.

 

I guess 【Light Magic Level 5】 is quite high, although the sample is small.

 

Sword and spear skills are slightly higher than magic, with a few people possessing level 3. The highest levels are still Enos [swordsman level 4] and Kara [spearman level 4].

 

It seems safe to assume that physical attack skills are widespread, or easy to acquire, and the average level is relatively high.

 

On the other hand, magical skills are difficult to master and probably not widespread. Therefore, we can expect the average level to be low.

 

The actuality that I have mastered four attribute magic skills, starting from【Light Magic Level 5】, I can be a good explorer.

 

However, it is no good to say "I have no combat experience but I have sword and shield skills. "

 

I need to gain combat experience and back up my skills as soon as possible.

 

I need to acquire knowledge of this world and gain combat experience. Also, we need to find and make friends with those who have moved on.

 

There seems to be a lot to do.

 

And, seeing that the word "level" doesn't appear at all, there may not be such a thing as a level concept. I will be careful about this.

 

After removing the fallen trees, the carts start moving.

 

At this rate, we should be able to reach Thor's city before sunrise.

 

I hadn't bathed since arriving in this world, and I was determined to find an inn with a bath while mocking Marielle who chattered about it.
