The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Aarons finally understood why the world did not have convenient means of transportation like airplanes, trains, and cars.

Magicians have actually created magical equipment with various functions a long time ago, but before the technology of psychic energy conversion magic became popular, these things could only be operated by magicians.

Even with psychic power, the size of the magic source stone and the conversion furnace is too large.

Therefore, the means of transportation that Aarons saw frequently in his previous life can currently only be manufactured and used by magicians - and magicians have long since integrated the functions of these vehicles together.

So Aarons experienced for himself what it was like to ride a flying motorcycle powered by a jet engine.

"It can actually trigger a sonic boom - help -"

"Stop yelling! Nothing will happen with the magic shield protecting us!"

——After realizing that he had easily broken the sound barrier, Aarons' sanity was on the verge of collapse.

Is that really a motorcycle? Is this a supersonic cruise missile? It won't just dive into the water and explode when it reaches the destination!

Although it was indeed a bit embarrassing, Aarons didn't care about his manners at this time. He held Claire's slender waist tightly with both hands, fearing that he would be thrown out of the car if he let go.

——And Her Royal Highness the Princess did not show any resistance to his rude behavior.

"The engine of this car was modified for me by Teacher Jiangyue. As long as I have enough magic power, it won't be a problem to fly across the entire empire in one day!"

"Can't she teach you something?"

Besides being a little scary, Aarons had to admit that the speed of the car was indeed beyond imagination.

It took him only about ten minutes to cover the distance of more than 500 miles. He had already reached his destination before he even had time to think about whether he would be smashed into a meat pie.

"If we reduce the speed a little more, we can land. Senior, how does it feel to fly?"

"...Can you give me a seat with a compartment next time?"

Although she was using her own magic power to drive the magic engine throughout the whole process, Claire did not seem to have consumed too much energy.

When the two finally began to circle and slow down, Aarons had the opportunity to observe the situation on the ground.

——This is outside the south gate of Maville City. The ground is covered with traces of being torn and burned by vicious war magic. And in those crisscrossing black glass-like lines, there may be a little ashes of the mercenaries.

Is this world really peaceful? Maybe I have underestimated the value of life.

"If you decide to join the battle, you must be prepared to face death at any time. Senior, you should know this, right?"

"Of course I know, but...ah."

Aarons didn't know what to say, and finally just sighed.

He has no power to fight, so he should be the one being protected. But now he has to fight with others to realize his wish.

How many lives will be lost in this process?

"…It seems that I am just a nobody."

"Don't think too much. There seems to be some activity down there. Let's land near them."

After slowing down sufficiently, Keliya and Aarons landed smoothly on the ground. Aarons' nervous mood also eased as he felt his feet on the ground.

...I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess can drive a little slower when she goes back.

"Those people seem to be scavengers, Senior."

“…Is there really anything left to pick up here?”

There might be weapons and equipment left behind by dead mercenaries on this scorched earth, but Aarons didn't think those things had any value.

But when he looked at the people not far away who were digging something in the soil with their hands, he felt an uneasy feeling in his heart for some reason.

"It looks like there's nothing special here, so let's just go into town, Senior."

"Then go...wait."

At this moment, Aarons, who thought everything was going well, keenly discovered that the scavengers who were digging something in the distance suddenly rushed towards where they were.

Although there was still some distance, the sharp-eyed Aarons saw that the leading men were holding weapons that looked like long swords in their hands.

"…No! There's something wrong with those guys!"

Before Aarons could react, those people had already rushed to their vicinity.

The people who approached with weapons in hand emitted auras of different colors, and the people who arrived later took out weapons like staffs from their backs and pointed the glowing crystals on the top at Aarons and Clary's bodies.

——These people are not scavengers!

"There are really some imperial nobles who dare to come here... Kill them! Avenge our brothers!"

"Damn, is it a surviving mercenary?!"

When these people approached to a distance of about twenty steps, Aarons finally figured out their identities.

——These people were mercenaries who had luckily escaped the bombing that day. They stayed here to plunder the remaining property and also to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the empire.

"Oh? Are you here to seek revenge? Then senior, just sit still."

After pulling out her walking stick from the seat, Claire jumped off the seat gracefully and faced the armed warriors head-on.

The streamlined magic shield that was used to resist high-speed airflow was also restarted under Klia's operation, wrapping the motorcycle and Aarons inside.

"Wait, you're going to fight alone!?"

An inexplicable fear swept through Aarons' body, and his heart began to beat violently.

But when the boiling blood rushed to his brain, Aarons' spirit became calm again.

The power left in his body was activated at this critical moment.

"There are eight of us in total."

At this moment, Aarons felt like he had turned into a radar, quickly grasping all the conditions around him.

——There are five fighting warriors in the front row, and three magicians in the back row. There is a gap on the left side of the formation. If you can cut in from there, you will have a chance to cause damage to the magicians.

"Listen to me... There's a flaw on the right side of the second person from the left. If we attack that position, the magician behind him will lose the chance to chant."

In order to relieve Claire's pressure, Aarons gave calm and precise combat advice... However, after hearing his words, Claire was stunned for some reason.

"Senior? Are you...giving me advice?"

"Don't be in a daze! The two people on the right are starting to move!"

The mercenaries did not seem to intend to negotiate. Before Aarons and Klia finished their brief exchange, two arrogant warriors rushed up with their weapons raised.

"Looks like a magician, do it!"

In the eyes of these people, the man in black, wearing a strange mask and standing in front of the young nobleman, could not possibly block their joint attack.

Even if he was a magician who could drive a vehicle, what would that do? If a magician wanted to cast magic, he had to concentrate and chant a specific spell.

——And now with such a short distance, these few of them can easily chop this guy's body into pieces before the chant is completed.

"Don't give them time to react! Attack them together!"

"Damn it! Run to the left! Create some distance before counterattacking!"

But Claire did not follow Aarons' instructions.

"So you have this ability, Senior..."

Seeing those arrogant warriors approaching quickly, she just casually raised her staff and even turned her head to look at Aarons behind her.

“… Chant omitted, attribute compression chain canceled! [Infernal Flame Rush]!”

——However, there was no time for anyone to react. A huge pillar of fire suddenly rose out of nowhere and ruthlessly devoured everything in front of Claire.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not an ordinary magician."
