Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

In the pitch blackness, Gillette rides her horse alone across the uninhabited grasslands.

The emergency signal told him to kill a thin, petite woman who was supposed to be in the boundary village. The limited number of characters gives us only the bare minimum of information. The only way to understand the instructions was to use one's imagination. However, Gillette, who had undergone rigorous training, fully understood the intentions of Freeman, the head of the branch.

If an emergency signal was sent, the matter was urgent. As soon as he finds the skinny little woman in the village, he will take her life and flee to the south. ....... He had a clear picture in his mind of what was to come.

He arrived at the village not long after. Since the village is open to travelers, there are no soldiers posted to guard the village, and anyone is free to use it. However, even though there were no soldiers, there was a person in charge of the village, who kept an eye on the village to make sure that no unauthorized person would commit any act of violence.

This village was controlled by the guild.

Immediately after Linos opened the village to travelers, the guild asked him to manage the village. Rinos readily agreed, and the village was placed under the control of the Guild from then on. Since then, the Guild has worked hard to make the village a user-friendly facility for travelers, while dealing with various problems that arise in the village.

When Gillette arrived at the village, he first visited it. A small two-story stone hut could be seen near the village. This was the guild.

When you open the door, you immediately see a counter. There were two chairs, and behind them an old cat-and-beast man was looking at me.

"Are you staying the night?　You can use any available space. By the way, no footsteps are allowed inside the boundary. Please use it neatly, thinking of those who will use it later.

Sorry, we're looking for someone.

"People?"

The old man came up to the counter with a painstaking expression on his face and sat down on a chair. Seeing this, Gillette sat down in the chair as well.

"I wonder if there is a thin, petite woman staying in this village.

"I don't know. This is a guild. We don't know all the people staying here.

"So, are there any women staying here?"

What the hell do you want to ask me?

"I heard that some of my old friends are here. I heard they haven't been here in a long time. I thought if they're going to stay the night, why not stay at home?"

"I see. Well, let me take a look."

The old man holds out his right hand to Gillette. He tilts his head, not understanding his intention.

"It's an adventurer's card.

The old man's words bring a wry smile to Gillette's face. The adventurer's card also serves as a permit to use the guild. As a member of the SS of the Crimean Nation, he has never needed it.

"Is it necessary to have a card?"

Of course. This is a guild. It's an institution for adventurers.

"Can't someone without an adventurer's card find a friend here?"

You can look for me if you want. If you want to look for them, go ahead, but please don't do anything that will disturb the people who are staying here.

The old cat-and-beast man looks at Gillette menacingly with wide-open eyes. He smiles and slowly leaves the place.

When he went outside, he could see a slight reddish tint in the eastern sky. I have to finish this job before dawn. Gillette looks around slowly.

The whole village was gradually becoming visible as the dawn was approaching. It is easier to work than in the pitch black darkness. He hurries to find the woman in question. There are a great number of wards in front of him, some of them are black, and some of them are transparent and he can see inside. Needless to say, the one that cannot be seen inside means that there is already a person resting there. There are only a few of them.

Nevertheless, if we check each and every wards, the night will be over. How can we get all the people inside the wards out efficiently? ....... After thinking for a while, he took out a small bottle from his pocket. He then splashed the liquid in it around the area.

Gillette mumbled and chanted in a small voice. Then a small fireball shot out from his hand toward the surroundings. Immediately afterwards, fire burst out from everywhere in the village.

"Fire!　Fire!　Fire!　Run!　Run!"

Gillette runs around the village shouting. He raises his voice while pounding his fist on the black wards, which he cannot see inside. The fire is out. He appeals to the people with a convincing performance, telling them of the danger they are in. One after another, people emerge from the wards and come out in droves. Gillette observes them carefully with his hand on the thin sword at his waist.

Suddenly, she looks down at her feet. Through the warding, she sees long golden hair. Thin shoulders ....... A woman, no doubt. Gillette draws her sword and is about to swing it down on the woman's neck.

At that moment his memory is cut off.

Gillette's memory was cut off at that moment.

Serloitte peeked out from the ward with only her head to see her surroundings.

He woke up to the sound of a man's voice shouting about a fire. Perhaps tired from the boat trip, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down inside the ward. The temperature in the room is just right, neither too hot nor too cold. Serloitte had no idea what kind of tricks they had prepared, but at any rate, it was a very comfortable space. It was very convenient that once inside, the wards turned black so that the inside could not be seen from the outside. Thanks to this, she was able to rest without worrying about being seen.

She was awakened suddenly from a deep sleep, and although she could not yet catch up with her thoughts, she was told that a fire had broken out. In some cases, she had to escape. Serloitte looks around her, feeling faint. The smell of burning smells to her nose, but she does not see any flames. She slowly steps out of the ward and looks around her.

Adventurer-looking men are gathering here and there, hustling and bustling. It seems that it was just a blur, not a big fire.

"What a commotion in the early morning!

The adventurer-looking men pull up, mumbling and complaining. Serloitte glanced sideways at the sky. The eastern sky was turning red.

"Maybe it's going to rain. ......"

She muttered to no one in particular, and went back into the warding. I think I can rest for a while yet. She lies down and closes her eyes. She continues to drift off into slumber.

She was in a slumber.

"You're a real wolf-boy, aren't you? I mean, he's more of an old man than a boy. Well, let's just call him a wolf boy because he's a boy at heart.

Gillette hears a man's voice. The tone of the voice indicates that it is a young man. But she does not know much more than that.

Her body is motionless. All she can see is the cobblestone pavement in front of her. I don't even know where the hell I am. Gillette tried his best to calm down his confused head and calmly analyzed the situation. However, even with his vast experience, he could not understand the situation he was in.

Surely, he should have decapitated the woman with his sword. However, he realized that he had been rolled over. He could tell from his senses that not much time had passed since the previous incident in the village. She must have been attacked and knocked down in an instant. If so, the ground should be soil. The village was in the middle of the grassland. What you see in front of you now is a cobblestone pavement. I can't explain my hypothesis.

Despite my desperate attempts to calm down, my mind is becoming more and more confused. If I could at least move my head, if I could get some more information ....... I move my eyes frantically from side to side with such thoughts in my mind. But all I can see is the cobblestone pavement.

Suddenly, a chill runs through your body. You shake involuntarily. What in the world is this? ....... Behind him, a man is staring at Gillette.

That man was Linos, the king of Agartha.
