Chapter 5 Execution of the Banishment Sentence

I’m currently at the west gate of the royal capital <Luta>.

The postponement of the expulsion from the royal capital ends today, so it’s finally time to leave Rosalta Kingdom.

Only Esther, Elsa, and a few other servants came to see me off.

Ah, my mother passed away when I was little, so she’s not here now.

「Onii-sama, take care. …… I sincerely wish you a safe journey out of the country.」

「Thank you. …… Esther, I will give you this. Open it after I leave the country.」

「Onii-sama? …… Yes. I will see it after you leave the country.」

I gave Esther an appraisal card and a box containing a paper with a list of his aptitudes written on it.

Now I can leave without any worries.

「See you!」

The gate opens at five o’clock in the morning.

If I don’t arrive at the inn town of Rio by the end of the day, I’ll have to camp out in the open with my uneasy strength, so I leave hurriedly.

There were a few adventurers and merchants around, but they didn’t pick a fight with me, perhaps because they didn’t want to get close to the crying heir of the Duke.

The inn town Rio, which I’m planning to head to, is a two-day walk distance to the west of the royal capital Luta.

The road to Rio is well maintained because it’s close to the royal capital, and only low-ranked monsters appear, but it is still quite a distance from the royal capital.

It seems that even adventurers need to camp overnight, but it’s too harsh for me right now, so I plan to make full use of my body strengthening skill and enchanted equipment to run through the road.

My current body strengthening skill is <level 25>, and the body strengthening enchanted on my equipment is <+27> in total.

That means, I now have a level 52 body strengthening skill.

When I appraised a knight I passed yesterday, I saw that one of his skills was level 20 and he was considered as a full-fledged knight (a regular knight without a position).

Considering that, level 52 must be quite powerful.

…… In fact, I’ve been running at high speed for about an hour, but I don’t feel tired that much.

While I was running while thinking about such things to pass the time, I saw an overturned wagon, about 10 goblins, people, and a large number of goblin corpses in front of me.

The goblins seem to have noticed me too….

Goblin

Rank: G

Skills: Polearms 6, Body Strengthening 8

One, two, three… there are a total of nine goblins with the same status, and they are all holding a club.

At first glance, it looks like I might lose, but according to my judgment when I appraised the soldiers who were sparring yesterday, it seems that the body strengthening skill gives a boost to swordsmanship and spearmanship (at about 50% of the value of the body strengthening skill), so I am much better than them in terms of status.

I think I can win if I keep my composure.

Believing in my own status and enchanted equipment, I attack the goblins.

Since it’s my first real fight, I don’t have time to think about beautiful swordsmanship, so I just swing my sword around as hard as I can.

Haa… haa……

I was finally able to defeat the goblins.

I got hit several times midway, but I didn’t hurt and I didn’t see any wounds.

I’m glad I spent a lot of money buying high-quality equipment.

Fortunately, I didn’t feel sick due to the smell of the internal organs, and I didn’t feel guilty about having killed living creatures.

Now, let’s dismantle them.

The only things to take from a goblin are the left ear, which is used as the subjugation proof, and the magic stone.

…… To be honest, I don’t want to touch goblins because they are so disgusting, but an adventurer who can’t dismantle will be a laughingstock, so I suppress my feeling and quickly dismantle them.

The magic stone was buried near the heart and I thought it would be difficult to take it out, but the mithril knife was extremely sharp and I succeeded in taking it out easily.

…… I was flustered when I realized that if I had pierced the knife in the wrong place, I would have ended up covered in blood all over my body.

Next, I went to the people lying on the ground near me.

…… They’re all dead.

I felt nauseous and threw up on the spot.

I know it’s no good as an adventurer, but it would be hard to get used to human corpses.

I think I vomited a lot.

…… For the time being, it would be bad to expose my defenseless state in a place like this, so I stood up somehow.

""

I don’t think I’ll get used to it for a while, but I have to do what I have to do now….

With that in mind, I stripped the clothes, weapons, money, and equipment from the corpses and threw them into the item box.

As for the carriage… it’s broken, so I only took the cargo inside.

In this world, it’s not a crime to take the belongings of a dead person who was attacked by a monster.

If left unattended, they would be taken away by monsters, so it’s actually recommended to take them.

By taking the corpses and belongings to the city and delivering them to the guild, you can expect the victims’ families to buy them back, but since I wanted to leave this country as soon as possible, I decided not to report it even though I felt bad for the victims’ families.

After my first monster-killing and dismantling work, I drank a potion and ran through the road again.

I encountered goblins a few times along the way, but I was able to beat them without any difficulty.

…… But dismantling them took a lot of time, so I decided to dismantle them all at once when I arrived at the town.
