Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"As Cosette promised, the two of them have now withdrawn from La Noah Magic University, so he should be released from this prison tomorrow."

"Then let's give him another taste of his own medicine today."

"Huh?"

I ignored Silphie's questioning eyes; neither Lilith nor I had told her anything about this.

But I could also tell that she wasn't confused about what Lilith had told her, but rather about why I was still attacking Mulgore when I had already achieved my goal. Perhaps it was her original kindness, but she had given it to the wrong person.

Since she has such thoughts, I will be even less lenient with Mulgore.

Look, Silphie, what will your kindness bring? This is much less serious than what we encountered in Dark City.

"Fireball."

"what!"

A small fireball shot out from my hand, leaving a similar wound on Mulgore's chest.

"Rudius, be careful not to kill him."

"Master Merlin once told me that killing is very easy, but sparing a life is rare and precious, so I will not let him die here."

I also remember saying something to T. Thompson in Dark City: an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

I had almost forgotten about it, but now I think it's time to settle this score, just as a little lesson for you, Pedro Caroline.

Chapter 184: All Things in the World

……

On election day, Sylphie left the venue. I didn't intend to chase after her. I could hear her conversation with Mulgore clearly from the side seat. It was one of the few times I witnessed Sylphie's girlish side.

However, when I heard her say, "I don't want happiness that goes against my own heart," I suddenly felt a flutter in my heart.

She seemed to have a very clear goal, but I was very vague about it, and I was basically just taking things one step at a time.

Before coming to La Noah Magic University, I had imagined my future in this world, and I thought I would use my real skills to live a good life... Now I just feel that it is already difficult enough to survive in this world.

"President Rudeus, I have brought the money."

"Ah."

I put my legs up on the desk, leaving Cosette to the side.

Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the snow-white streetscape, this is Professor Merlin's office. After I became the student council president, this room truly became my personal office.

"President Cosette."

"President Rudeus, there's no need for such formality. If you want to make fun of me, there's nothing I can do about it."

Cosette's words projected a weak aura, yet there was a hint of toughness within them. Her meaning was quite clear, but it was actually a warning. I could vaguely hear other hidden meanings in her words.

I shook my head slightly, took out a letter with the official seal of the Magic Association from the drawer, placed it on the table, and pushed it to the opposite side.

"I didn't mean to make fun of you, President Cosette, I just wanted to ask about your plans."

Cosette silently accepted the letter. "In that case, would Guild Master Rudeus like to know when the plans are?"

She gave me a charming smile with her not-so-beautiful face, and I smiled back. I then took out an item that Professor Merlin often used during his lifetime from under the table—his iron pipe and a small bag of dark, pill-like things.

Does it look familiar?

Cosette took the small black bag, examined it in the light, and said, "It's not the kind we sell; it's from the Kingdom of Asura."

This is where things get really interesting. According to the information Lilith found out, the Kingdom of Asura does indeed produce these pills, and the bargaining chip she has in exchange for Cosette's money is that she has caught the Garolin family secretly transporting and producing them.

But Merlin himself said that the thing he often used came from the Kingdom of Bigenliru.

"I never asked if it was your property."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Guild Master Rudeus, I just..."

Cosette's expression became slightly serious and tense. Her furrowed brows seemed to tell me that she didn't say it on purpose, and even made me suspect that she deliberately wanted to give herself away.

Since you deliberately gave yourself away, it wouldn't be right not to punish you a little.

I got up and walked over to her. Just as my hand was about to touch her chest, I glanced at her face and found it completely calm. It seemed she was also ready to take things to the next level. I had to become alert, so I quickly moved my hand away and patted her shoulder twice naturally.

"Don't be nervous, be careful on the road."

"Thank you, President Rudeus."

After saying this, Cosette placed the letter in front of her with both hands, bowed slightly, and slowly left the room with her head down.

Judging from her reaction, I think I've gotten the answer I wanted.

It was afternoon soon, and the prison informed me that Cosette and Mulgore had left the main city of Sharia.

"Are you hesitating, Rudius?"

"No." I shook my head gently.

Lilith sat on the edge of the bed near me, her long, white legs crossed, enjoying the sunlight streaming through the French windows. Sylphie sat in the corner of the bed, hugging her knees, her expression somewhat gloomy, perhaps lost in thought.

"...Rudy?"

After noticing my gaze, she asked timidly.

"what happened?"

I sat down next to her and gently pinched the wispy green hairs at the temple of her long, thin ear. I noticed that a blush had crept onto her face.

"Rudy...you don't want to let them go...right?"

"Is there a problem, Silphie?"

"without……"

She quietly leaned closer, her head resting against my chest. I hugged her, and her slightly warm body temperature from the Long-Eared Tribe felt like a small furnace.

Holding a girl like Silphie in your arms, you always feel that her fragility is so easily broken, and a sense of emptiness from within unconsciously lingers in your heart.

It feels very strange.

"Hilufi, you stay here today and don't go anywhere."

"what……"

I released Hilfi, pulled Lilith along, and left the office. We then led two horses from the stables to leave the city.

“Our people have already made their move, haven’t they, Lilith?”

"probably."

……

The carriage entered the trade route, which should have been bustling with traffic but was surprisingly clear. Cosette looked out the window and then instructed the driver to stop the carriage.

"rustle……"

"rustle……"

The soft crunching of snow underfoot made Cosette even more alert. She glanced at Mulgore, who was sitting in the corner of the carriage with a blank stare, like a wooden doll, and couldn't help but bite her lip.

The sound of footsteps on the snow grew closer, large beads of sweat rolled down Cosette's forehead, and Mulgore began to tremble dramatically.

"Sister... Xiao Mo is scared..."

"Sister... Xiao Mo is scared..."

"Sister...Sister..."

"Sister is here, sister is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Cosette pulled him tightly into her arms, gently stroking his head. Beads of sweat streamed down his forehead, but his eyes remained fixed on the direction from which footsteps were coming through the window.

"Bah..."

Hearing the sound of a blade being drawn, Cosette quickly moved one hand to the sword at her waist. Her initial level of Sword God Style was just enough for an ordinary person to protect themselves, and it was negligible in the face of the impending danger, a fact Cosette was well aware of.

But what can she possibly do?

The letter I sent to my father a few days ago has gone unanswered. I feel like I'm on a deserted island with no one to rely on. At this point, I have no choice but to rely on myself.

"Sister...Sister..."

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Mo, your big sister will protect you."

Mulgore seemed to have lost his mind. When Cosette saw him in prison, although he appeared unharmed, his soul was probably riddled with wounds.

But he is still her brother, someone she would protect even at the cost of her life.

Chapter 185: If All Living Beings Have an Inevitable End

……

The coachman pulled out a short dagger from his pocket, slowly walked around to the back of the carriage, and reached out to lift the curtain. Before he could see what was behind the curtain, the blade, stained with bright red blood, had already pierced his neck. The pungent, bloody crimson blood covered the once green and white curtain.

"Huh...huh..."

Cosette jumped out of the car and looked at the body lying on the ground, trying her best to suppress her rapid breathing.

Born into an aristocratic family, Cosette had witnessed various forms of death since childhood, but this was the first time she had killed someone with her own hands, and she was not used to the feeling of taking someone's life with her own hands.

But now was not the time for sentimentality. She pulled the recently appeased Mogore off the carriage, and they needed to find a place to hide.

"Sister! What are you doing, sister!"

"Don't talk, Xiao Mo, come with your sister."

Mughal didn't cooperate. Instead, he squatted down and poked at the coachman's corpse on the ground with his hand, looking at Cosette with a puzzled expression.

"Sister, why is this person lying on the ground?"

Cosette slowly crouched down, forcing a gentle smile at Mulgore, and stroked his head softly, saying:

"He's sleeping, Mulgore. Don't disturb him. Please come with your sister, okay?"

"No! I want to watch him sleep!"

Cosette stood up with a sigh, looking around. Circular beads of sweat rolled down her cold, bluish-white cheeks. The tire tracks were clearly visible on the snow. Even if she could escape with Mulgore, they would still be caught.

"rustle……"

"rustle……"

The sound of footsteps in the snow grew clearer in the surrounding forest. Cosette knew very well that the people who were about to appear were either bandits or assassins sent by Rudeus; the coachman from earlier was the best example.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. If it really was someone Rudeus sent, then she should have killed Rudeus right there in the office. But that thought ended as Rudeus removed his hand from her chest.

A moment later, a thin man emerged from the woods. He was wearing a fur coat, which was not particularly expensive, but a quick look around revealed that he was at least a lower-ranking nobleman.

Cosette shifted her gaze to the one-handed sword at the man's waist. The family crest on the hilt seemed to have been deliberately worn away, leaving no trace of his identity.

Her beginner-level Sword God skill level made it almost impossible for her to sense any killing intent, but the dangerous aura emanating from the person in front of her was undeniable.

She glanced at Mogorei, who was squatting beside the coachman's body, then turned to the man and wiped the blood off the blade of her sword with the cotton coat on her elbow.

"Shh!"

He made his move!

The man thrust his sword forward; this was the most basic swordsmanship technique.

Could it be that he's only at the beginner level of the Sword God style?

wrong!

That's incredibly fast!

"bump……"

Cosette couldn't even see his movements before her sword crashed to the ground, leaving several small red craters in the snow with a few drops of blood.

"You were able to kill me just now..."

She covered the wound on her forearm; the blow had precisely severed her tendon.

The man didn't speak, his icy gaze sweeping over the person behind Cosette.
