Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"Why is this happening, or rather, how can I help you?"

"Mr. Rudius, you are quite the master of feigning ignorance, but I am truly pleased to hear you say you want to help."

Pretending to be confused?

I found it a bit strange. His words implied that it was my duty to do so. I only knew from the recent blackboard market that the customs in the Kingdom of Asura were extremely strict, and many goods could not be sold. The tariffs had also increased several times. And the main livelihood of the people in the Kingdom of Lanoa was probably doing business. If the goods could not be sold, their lives would not be guaranteed.

But I had no idea at all, and could only shake my head helplessly.

“Mr. Rudius, do not be nervous. Although this is our first meeting, I have been watching you for a long time.”

"Have you been following me for a long time?"

Suddenly, a feeling of being controlled welled up inside me again. I deliberately avoided his eyes, but his expression seemed to remind me of Philip again, that feeling of helplessness about what was about to be imposed upon me.

"So, you've also investigated Silphie and Teacher Lokishi?"

"Yes, the half-elf named Hilfiet is currently in this palace. Oh, and there's an old acquaintance here too."

An old acquaintance?

Could it be Pedro Galorin?

A chill ran through the warm bathroom, and even Sylphie followed. For a fragile magician, entering this forbidden palace was like walking into a trap. Was it Lilith who made her do this, or was there another reason?

Please don't let anything happen, Silphie!

"Your Majesty, you summoned me."

I came to my senses and saw a tall man kneeling before the king.

It's Dolan...

"Senior Dolan? You... what are you doing here! Where is Sylphie?"

I didn't care about my naked appearance. When I saw Senior Dolan, I felt a chill run down my spine. Although I was willing to believe in Senior Dolan's character, I didn't believe in this palace.

Dolan didn't say anything, which made me even more nervous.

“Mr. Rudius, I assure you that Miss Hilfiet is safe now, but her future depends on your performance.”

……

Silphie's perspective:

……

"Doris? The head maid is looking for you, Doris."

Oh no, I can't answer for her. Our voices are so different that I'll give myself away as soon as I speak.

"Huh? He's not here? Looks like he's going to get punished by the head maid again."

The maid outside the door received no response, so she complained a couple of times and left. As I listened to her footsteps gradually disappearing, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"call……"

I wonder if Dolan has seen Rudy yet. They've split up since entering the palace, but hopefully he'll get some useful information.

"hiss……"

It sounded like a sword being drawn from its sheath, which sent a chill down my spine. I felt enveloped in a thick aura of killing intent. In the past, I would never have sensed such a thing. Perhaps it was because I used that "forbidden technique." In giving up some things, I also gained others. Ten years of my lifespan were exchanged for a swordsman's ability to perceive killing intent, and now it was coming into play.

"boom!"

The wall exploded instantly. I narrowly escaped, but my cloak was ripped open. If it weren't for the cloak Rudy brought, I might have been killed.

"Alert! Alert!"

The loud noise immediately attracted the soldiers in the palace, and in no time I was surrounded. How was I discovered? I looked at the female swordsman in front of me—Nina, the daughter of the Sword God, and the male swordsman named Kino next to her. Was I discovered when I relaxed and took a breath?

“I felt something was wrong from the beginning, and sure enough, there was someone extraordinary hiding here.”

……

Rudius's perspective:

……

"boom!"

"Intruder! Be alert!"

Sylphie!

The enemy also has two sword saints and many soldiers; Sylphie is no match for them!

Hilfi can't be hurt, she can't be hurt!

I infused my hands with magic, preparing to end the lives of everyone present with a single rock cannonball.

“See, Mr. Rudius, your Miss Silphiette doesn’t seem to be very honest.”

I completely ignored the words of the king before me. He and Dolan beside me were my enemies at this moment. I would make them vanish into thin air and then go to save Sylphie!

rock……

"what!"

hateful!

The binding scrolls on my arms hadn't been removed yet, and the pain in my arms felt like they'd been blown apart after I forcibly used magic.

"Mr. Rudeus, you must know that if you forcibly resist the binding scroll, your own magic will be blown apart. No magician would risk their life to cast a spell."

I am now completely helpless. If I forcefully resist the binding scroll and use a large amount of magic power to attack the locked magic circle, I will most likely die. Even if I survive by chance, how am I supposed to save Sylphie?

The noise outside gradually quieted down. Was it over...?

I must calm down, but the king has already laid out his bargaining chips for negotiating with me. Hilfi's fate is unknown, and I am powerless to do anything about it.

……

Silphie's perspective:

……

“You all step back, I will be her opponent.”

Nina raised the sword high above her head, clearly in an offensive stance.

In an instant, she darted forward, her sword aimed straight at my throat.

I couldn't just sit and wait to die, so I held a magic wand in each hand, which made my spellcasting much faster.

Wind Magic: Shockwave!

Earth magic. Rock wall!

I was immediately propelled back more than ten meters by my own wind magic, creating distance between us. I then used the Earth-level magic [Rock Wall] to form a barrier, and I was temporarily safe.

If it weren't for the "forbidden technique" that made my reaction speed faster, I might have already died. But my magic power is also being rapidly depleted, so I have to finish this quickly.

"Oh!"

The rock wall was instantly cleaved into pieces, and that was the moment I was waiting for.

Water magic. Water cannon!

The magic stones at the tips of the two magic wands instantly flashed with a dazzling blue light, and a huge column of water surged out like a flood bursting its banks, sweeping all the surrounding soldiers into the turbulent current.

This time it should be a success, right?

Time is running out; we must find Rudy, rescue him, and escape.

"Just received the second commission: capture Silphiet alive."

That's the male swordsman's voice. Were you so focused on that girl named Nina that you ignored him...?

"boom!"

I was suddenly struck hard in the waist and sent flying. The pain of my body hitting the wall almost took my consciousness away, but I couldn't fall. Rudy hadn't been rescued yet.

I slowly got up from the ground, and the injuries I had sustained earlier had completely healed.

"Hey, anyone else wouldn't be able to stand up by now."

The male swordsman brandished his scabbard and walked towards me; it seemed that the attack he had just delivered was from the scabbard.

The woman named Nina blocked his way again. I didn't know if she meant to keep the man out of the way or if she wanted to repeat the same tactics, but I heard clearly what she was asking him to do, which meant my life was not in danger.

Then I found a way to break the deadlock.

"One person distracts me while the other launches a sneak attack. Is this how the Holy Land of Swords attacks?"

I provoked them both with words, buying time to prepare for the next attack.

"I will not allow you to insult the Holy Land of Swords!"

"The sword of light!"

So fast!

I couldn't even see her movements clearly...

……

Rudius's perspective:

……

"Clap clap".

The king clapped his hands and said to me in a calm tone, "To put Mr. Rudeus at ease, let him see my sincerity first."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Silphi was carried in by several soldiers.

"Silphie!"

I burst out of the pool, knocked the soldier aside, and grabbed her.

Thank goodness, she's still breathing, she's alive!

It had been a long time since I had been this close to Sylphie. Her fair, smiling face was flushed slightly from the cold, and her pitiful appearance made my heart ache. One-sixth of her long, emerald green hair, which was coiled on her head, had turned white. Without a doubt, she had used that "forbidden technique" again. She was still wearing the shoes and cloak that Philip had given me, and her dusty and slightly tattered clothes showed the marks of battle.

It's my fault that she's like this.

"Alright, Mr. Rudius, it's time to continue our discussion."

I looked up and saw Nina and Kino's swords already at my neck. The king, wrapped in a towel, slowly walked towards me.

"What I want Mr. Rudius to do is very simple."

"what do you want to do?"

"I give Mr. Rudius two choices: either become my subject and serve Lanoa from now on; or you will all die here."

I had to make a choice at this point. If I chose to agree to his request, it would mean betraying my family and betraying Alice.

However, I cannot kill Sylphie. Sylphie has already done enough for me, and I must do what I should do.

"Okay...I..."

"Wait, Your Majesty."

That's... Lilith's voice?

……

"Wait, Your Majesty."

Lilith, supported by Baker, slowly walked into the bathroom, her face pale and her steps weak, like a candle flame flickering in the cold wind, which might be extinguished at any moment.

The king crossed his legs, sat on the stone slab of the bath, propped his chin on his arm, and a subtle glint flashed in his eyes.

“Miss Lilith Aiolos Grerat, it is quite surprising that our first meeting is in this way.”
