Chapter 152 The Final Bow 7
In the middle of the harsh deserts an hour\'s carriage ride outside of Anvil, five figures streaked like lightning, their speed faster than even bullet trains, they had cones of air forming around them made to lessen the wind resistance.
"Oh? Another scorpion. Fregit your up."
"Again? Why are the others so fast? I just finished less than fifteen minutes ago."
"Because they shut their traps and kill their enemies. You waste too much time complaining."
"Ugh! Fine!" At the female voice\'s confirmation, she separated from the group and raise towards a target that pop out of the horizon. Obviously superimposing another figure on the scorpion, the woman violently impaled the monster like how one would hammer a nail all while cursing for everyone to hear.
"You! Fucking! Heartless! Piece! Of! Shit! I! Am! So! Telling! To the Mistresses! Be! Ready! You! Wolfen! Bull… eh it\'s dead? Already? Shit."
A blonde warrior shared his thoughts as they ran."Master, I think you need to tone it down with your banter with Wifey. She may kill you in your sleep."
"She is welcome to try. No matter how long she waits she will never find me snoozing. Three scorpions 7 o\'clock Larua take it down." At the head runner\'s words, another left the pack to assault the unsuspecting monsters near their position.
"Master. It is a wise idea to create such a lost organization like [Redeemed]? The odds that they get caught and traced back to you is higher than then getting good Intel."
"I agree Master, the ones that survived have nothing in common how will they even work together?"
"You guys look down on much on the power of collectives. With the right push and a great trial, men and women rise to the challenge. And if it amounts to nothing It\'s fine. The organization is a bonus, I just wanted to test the brands on people. What the hell is that? Sand mole? Aurum, In not sure what the monster is but kill it. 11 o\'clock."
"Right away!" Like the others, one of the runners ran to the left and charged towards a giant monster.
"…"
"What? Cat got your tongue Kohei-san? Or am I close enough to be allowed to use Atsuhiko?"
Fulgeo who almost tripped in surprise noticed that Hiro didn\'t speak in the language of Valorious but spoke in Japanese!
"You knew? Since When? Are you from Japan too?" Alarmed the Redhead focused on the butcher\'s next words.
"From the beginning, I noticed when I saw Lars hide you."
"Aurum and Lars do not know, no one does. I learned to keep my mouth shut this time around."
"What do you mean?"
"There is a group that hunts transmigrators. I came here in 4120 year of the Savior, more than a millennium ago."
Before Hiro could say anything a woman came back screaming. "I\'M BACK! What did I miss?"
"A dessert dragon 10 o\'clock Fregit go."
"But I just got here! Let me rest a bit!"
"Go or I\'ll dock your pay."
"Huh?"
"Master you are speaking in Japanese."
"Oh. Go or I\'ll dock your pay."
"This is Slavery! I am supposed to be a nanny, taking care of little lady! For goodness sake!"
"Okay, You are fired then."
"I\'m going! I\'m going!"
Like a blur, Fregit raced to do battle with a gigantic 20-meter desert-horned lizard. Again she kept cursing at the poor monster while she gutted it to pieces.
Hiro then looked at the Redhead. And once again spoke in a language known only to the two of them. "Talk now."
"I don\'t know the details but supposedly there is a factor that makes transmigrators unique from everyone else. That group hunts transmigrators and extracts their organs or something. They found me as I revolutionized accounting by introducing the double entry accounting."
In the middle ages, accounting was incredibly straightforward. You just list what you bought, when and how you much you have left. This simplistic way of tracking money led to people abusing the authority to write the ledgers however they wanted.
The answer to this came in double-entry accounting. The root premise is that when you use any money it must reflect on two different account records, credit and debit. This allowed accountants to quickly see embezzlement as if you suddenly take money, the sudden loss cannot be explained when only one entry is made.
Of course in the present earth, even such a system had a lot of loopholes, but in the middle ages, it was a foolproof way to track money. Knowledge of such a system of course has not made it to Valorious yet due to the non-stop wars and monsters.
Civilization only thrived when it had safety and room to grow. Thus if you are constantly in danger of getting invaded who would care about accounting books? Because of such a mindset, Hiro automatically understood that anyone who introduced such an advanced system of bookkeeping could be suspected as a transmigrator. The question is why?
"How did you die."
"An arrow to the temple. I ran away and resisted their pursuit. When I learned they took two of my friends an Indian and a Mexican who were also transmigrators got taken. I tried to save them but got killed by a mercenary guarding the complex."
"Do you remember where it is?"
"I do but it\'s in the old Gracyeanor empire. When I revived a millennium passed and I thought I moved to a different world. The Savior Kingdoms were all so powerful I couldn\'t imagine how they fell with only a handful of kingdoms remaining."
Hiro who learned of new information got surprised at the revelation. Valorious has not stopped transmigrating earthlings even after the age of demons. With this new organization at play, it made sense why none of the transmigrators existed in the records.
"We will speak of this more in-depth, later. I will also have you guide me to that facility. Another desert dragon two o\'clock get to it."
"Of common, Aniki! No love for your countryman?"
"I want you to get stronger Kohai, so Gambate!"
Both men then laughed as they ran, after they share a few moments of jovial laughter, Hiro then spoke in a threatening voice.
"No seriously, go before I kick your ass." Geo then reluctantly left to claim the life of the beast. Hiro who ran at a steady pass soon welcomed back Lars and Aurum who returned less than a minute after one another.
While looking for something to discuss, Aurum suddenly expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you for all your help in what happened with the Don master."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"There were times we didn\'t heal enough before Malosi attacked us. We all noticed our wounds suddenly healing before accepting the blow. If not for those instances we would have died to him. Thank you so much for your help. I finally got over my past thanks to you."
"I have no idea what you are talking about. But you are welcome. And I wasn\'t able to say it earlier. Well done. You fought hard. It was an amazing victory. One you can be proud of."
Lars and the son of Standar who heard their former master\'s words grew delighted from the heart. Most men need only a little encouragement to push forward. But what is regrettable is most do not even get it despite their efforts. Hiro who naturally felt how it is to be on the other side showered his men with praise for their hard-earned victory.
