Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Belid soon brought news about the mercenary king.

"The Mercenary King is now in the city of Trafalgar." The remote city of Trafalgar was a familiar city to Cardan.

During his time at Hero Academy, he had come here for a mission, and it was also where he turned the dead Anthony into the Death Knight.

"I also first met the Mercenary King in Trafalgar?" Most importantly, he first met the Mercenary King in Trafalgar.

"Did you know that Trafalgar is now a Resistance base?"

"Yes, I know. But did the Mercenary King originally live in Trafalgar?"

"No, although I don't know the exact reason, he is indeed in Trafalgar now."

"Shall we set off now?" Belid asked with a chuckle.

"I've rested long enough." While waiting for news from the Mercenary King, Cardan enjoyed a comfortable rest in Douglas City.

He met Alvis and Blanche, and talked with Owen, the Lord of the Douglas family. Although the time was short, he spent a valuable time.

He was a little reluctant to give up this peace and tranquility. Although he wanted to experience more of this peace and tranquility, he wanted to follow Charlotte's last words even more.

"Yes, we'll leave now." Charlotte's last words were more important than peace and tranquility, so Cardin nodded without hesitation.

"Ah, I have to say hello to my friends before I leave. They will be disappointed if I leave without saying goodbye."

"Okay, then come to the square when you're ready. I'll wait for you there." After saying that, Belid opened the door and walked out, and Cardin immediately followed her out.

In front of the newly built tower in Douglas City.

"Are you leaving so soon?" Alves asked Cardin with a regretful expression.

"Yes. The Mercenary King's whereabouts are elusive, and I must set off immediately as soon as I get any news." Cardin chuckled and patted Alvis' shoulder.

"Where are you going?" This time it was Blanche's turn to ask in a rude voice while leaning against the wall.

"Trafalgar City. I heard the Mercenary King is there."

"That place is quite safe." Calling a city that has to be on guard against monster attacks 365 days a year safe, Cardin chuckled and nodded.

"If it was three years ago I might not know, but now it is probably the third safest place in the kingdom?" A place where the resistance army and the revolutionary army gather.

And now the Mercenary King is also guarding it. There is no city safer than this.

"Anyway, everyone is doing well. See you again sometime." Cardin was reluctant to part with his friends after a long time, but he had things to do, so he put his regrets aside.

"Cardan, you have to be careful. If there's any danger, run away."

"Don't wander around the world, be careful not to die." Alves and Blanche can't stop Cardin either.

They knew no one could stop him, his goal was clear.

"Okay, don't let either of you die in battle." After a brief farewell, Cardin left without hesitation.

This time, Cardin was going to the building where the refugees who had not yet found a place to live lived.

"Mr. Cardin?" Cardin walked in and Jack Carter, who was drinking coffee on the first floor, immediately noticed him and stood up from his seat.

asked Jack Carter in surprise as Cardin approached him with a smile.

"Ah, have you found the whereabouts of the Mercenary King?"

"Yes, I heard he was in Trafalgar." Jack Carter breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face when he heard that he was going to Trafalgar.

"I was worried you might be heading to the north of the kingdom, but luckily you weren't."

"I won't be going back to this city for a while, so I came to say hello to you." Hearing this, although Jack Carter felt a little regretful, he still tried to smile and nodded.

Jack Carter took something out of the bag beside him and handed it to Cardin.

"what is this?"

"This is the cat food I made." Why give me cat food? Cardin looked at Jack Carter in confusion.

"If you see stray cats on the street, please give each of them a little bit of this cat food." This wasn't just about feeding the stray cats, Cardin waited for Jack Carter's next words.

"Through stray cats, I can find out your location." If Cardan is in danger, he can use this method to ask for help from the Resistance or the Revolutionary Army.

Understanding Jack Carter's intention, Cardin chuckled and put the cat food handed to him into the void.

"Thank you for your concern."

"There's nothing I can do for you right now, so I'm sorry."

"No, you've helped me a lot by letting me see my father." Jack Carter nodded with a wry smile, and Cardin extended his hand to him.

"Then I'm going."

"Okay, take care, Mr. Cardin." The two shook hands briefly, and Cardin immediately turned and left.

"I wish you a safe journey." Jack Carter watched Cardin leave the door with a worried look in his eyes.

The West Gate of Trafalgar.

Swish! With a flash of light, Cardan and Belid appeared in front of the city gate.

"Who are you!" The guards guarding the city gate were startled by the sudden appearance of the two men and raised their spears vigilantly.

"Sorry to scare you. I'm Belid from the Revolutionary Army." Belid immediately took out a document with the Revolutionary Army logo from his pocket and showed it to them.

"Lord Belid...?" After confirming the emblem of the Revolutionary Army, the guards put away their spears in surprise and bowed their heads respectfully.

"excuse me!"

"It's okay, you're just on a mission. Ah, this is someone who's become famous recently. The Death Mage Cardan." When Belid was about to say Cardan's alias, Cardan quickly interrupted her and introduced himself.

"Necromancer Cardan?"

"Save, savior!" Although Cardin hurriedly interrupted Belid's words, just revealing his name was enough for the guards to immediately recognize his identity.

"You are the hero who saved the city of Radames single-handedly!"

"He saved everyone in Robain City before! The new savior!" The guards excitedly called out Cardan's name. Cardan lowered his head in shame.

"Oh, your ears are red." Belid looked at Cardin like this and laughed softly.

"Ah, do you know what mission we have to do?" The guards, who were excited for a moment, quickly came to their senses and asked.

"I heard the Mercenary King is in town. Has he gone anywhere else?"

"No! He's still in the city! Please come in!"

The guards led the way and opened the city gate, and Cardan and Belid immediately walked behind the gate.

"The atmosphere is much better than before." After entering Trafalgar City, Cardin looked around and was filled with emotion.

"It's a big change, right?" Seeing Cardin looking around curiously, Belid walked in lockstep with him and asked the question.

"Yes, the atmosphere has brightened." Three years ago, this was a city full of anxiety and melancholy.

But since the resistance and the revolutionaries came here, the atmosphere has completely changed 180 degrees. Instead of despair, there is more hope? There is no longer any melancholy in this city.

"Because the resistance army and the revolutionary group are stationed here, we are free from the threat of monsters." Indeed, if there were resistance army and revolutionary group, there would be no need for other support forces.

In order to protect the base, the resistance army and the revolutionary group will also stop the monsters' attacks.

"Of course, the monster attacks have not stopped. We still know that the monsters are flocking to the east wall."

Boom! As soon as Belid finished speaking, there was an explosion from the east wall. Perhaps someone had cast a very powerful spell.

"Did you hear that? The city is still full of fighting."

"Aren't we going to help?" Cardan asked cautiously, and Belid shook his head.

"If the situation was dangerous, citizens wouldn't be walking around like this, right?" Belid said, pointing at citizens walking calmly on the street.

As she said, if the situation is dangerous, citizens will not walk calmly on the streets like this. There will be voices warning of danger echoing everywhere, and people will hide somewhere and wait for the battle to end.

"Yes." Cardin looked at the people walking calmly on the street and expressed his understanding.

"Then let's go and take a look. The Mercenary King must be there." The place Belid pointed to was the majestic castle in the center of the city.

"Okay, I understand." After a while, the two arrived at the castle and came to the meeting room under the guidance of the soldiers.

"Everyone is inside." The soldier saluted respectfully and pointed to the meeting room.

"I've already told you in advance that you can go in directly." Following the soldier's instructions, Belid knocked on the door.

dong dong.

"Please come in." An expectant voice came from the conference room.

Creak. I opened the door and went in, and saw familiar faces. The owner of the city, Aaron Trafalgar, the mercenary king, and...

"Who is that person?" A stranger was also sitting in the meeting room.

"Greetings to the great guardian of the kingdom, Lord Philip." At this time, Belid, who entered first, saluted and greeted the stranger.

This stranger was one of the seven guardians. The only guardians Cardan had ever met were Gilbert, Dimitar, Isaac, and the traitor Hamilton. This was the first time he had met Philip.

“That person is Philip…” This was not the first time he had heard this name. The one who became a guardian with his excellent archery skills.

Since the Second Demon War, the great legends and achievements he established have been learned through childhood books.

Although he never missed a shot, his strong appearance and sturdy yet flexible body seemed to indicate that he was a middle-aged man.

"Guardians are truly different." Cardin sighed inwardly as he looked at the Guardian who changed the atmosphere with his mere presence.

"Bai Lide, long time no see." Philip smiled and waved.

"Greetings to the great guardian of the kingdom, Lord Philip." Then Cardin also knelt on one knee and saluted him.

"You are Charlotte's son, right? Stand up, I want to take a good look at your face." Philip's words made Cardin stand up slowly, and Philip squinted his eyes and looked at Cardin.

"He doesn't look like Charlotte at all?" Cardin is Charlotte's adopted son.

As children of spiritual inheritance, he and Charlotte have no physical similarities.

Cardin, who has all the memories since birth, knows that he is an adopted child.

"My father said I was more like my mother." But Cardin told Philip exactly the lie Charlotte had told him.

"Really? What a pity." Philip stood up with a wry smile and walked towards Cardin.

"Cardan Ingmar. I sincerely apologize for what my father has done." Then he bowed solemnly to Cardan to express his apology.

"It's alright. I've already apologized to Master Gilbert and Master Dimitar."

"I also feel guilty for being deceived by Hamilton's sweet words and can't sleep. Please forgive me for being such a fool."

“Please forgive me, not me, but please apologize to my father in person when you see him one day in the future.” Cardin replied calmly, and Philip sighed and nodded.

"Cardan!" The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. The mercenary king bit his tongue and stood up.

"I heard you came to see me? What's the matter? Or are you here to make a wish?" He said this lightly, and the heavy atmosphere became relaxed. Cardin smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that's right."

"You came to me in person, I'm a little nervous. Well, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" The mercenary king walked closer with a smile.

"I thought you won a pair of shoes from Isaac?"

"Shoes? Yeah, I have."

“I want those shoes.”

"Those worn-out shoes? No, how did you know I had those shoes?" the Mercenary King asked in surprise, to which Cardin replied with a chuckle.

"My father told me. In fact, those shoes are the ones my father owned."
