Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 50: Stalker

In the past few days everything has been normal, the intensity of the demonic waves that have occurred has increased slightly, but not to a level that can not be overcome by the defense post troops.

The number of fatalities did increase slightly given the intensity of the demonic wave which also increased, but fallen warriors could be quickly replaced with new warriors, as well, each defensive post also gets additional personnel to cope with the rising tide.

The guard troops in every city, especially those that were a long distance away from the defensive outpost, had the help of magicians from the Magic Department.

Previously, the magicians who helped them were only warriors who happened to be able to use magic, but with the presence of official magicians who had capable abilities and equipment, of course their presence was very helpful.

Theodore also came to the defense post a few days ago, bringing the latest news from the center and other defense outposts, he had helped overcome the wave of demons that invaded the defense post.

Alex was so surprised by Theodore's current development of abilities that he thought it was possible that Theodore was the strongest light power wanderer in the western continent at the moment.

But despite all the twists and turns, for Alex nothing special has happened since the ambush.

Except for one thing.

Alex recently caught Julie looking like she was watching him, during meal times in the barracks cafeteria, on a training schedule together, even when she was just walking around the city.

As of today, Alex was having drinks with Wilman, Dustin and Gilbert over the city fortress while waiting for the sun to set. Of course if there is no surprise attack from the devil.

He could feel the gaze of someone from somewhere under the fortress, of course he already knew who that person was.

She calls one of the little fairies to track down Julie's position, after the fairy finds her, she leaves first to leave her drunken friend unwell.

As long as Alex walked, he could tell that Julie was really following him, which really upset him. 'You want to play games? You may'.

Alex lures Julie to a slightly deserted spot, but Julie seems completely unsuspecting and follows her around.

As Alex entered a completely deserted alley, he turned around and said in an annoyed tone. "You can show yourself now."

Moments later, Julie who was wearing everyday clothes like a random girl in the city appeared.

"So you know." Julie said softly.

"Of course, it's been a few days since I've been amused at the nape of the neck thanks to someone's gaze."

Julie threw her face the other way, trying to pretend not to know. His behavior makes Alex really upset, if only he was not a noble child, I don't know what he would do to this girl.

"What do you want?"

"Give me another creature." Julie answered without saying anything.

Alex had a confused expression. "That's all?"

Julie nodded.

"You've been stalking me for days for not wanting to say it in person?"

Julie made face again. "What do you mean?"

Alex rubbed his face in frustration, no matter what the women thought, he really could not understand them.

"You just tell me, there's no need to ask me that."

For some reason Julie now feels a little different from the Julie she knows at the Academy, indeed they rarely interact, but Alex at least knows what the character of this girl.

Well, losing a colleague and indeed greatly affecting one's personality, Alex himself felt that he had turned into a bastard because of this war. Maybe his mother will feel foreign to see his current figure.

"Then I ask again. Also, may I request a ration every few days? Of course if it doesn't incriminate you."

If anyone were to hear their conversation, it would definitely cause misunderstandings.

"All right, I get it."

"In exchange?"

Alex seemed to have just woken up by something. 'Why am I so stupid to miss a chance to blackmail a noble girl?' The noble girl he had known all along was Alicia, so he never once thought of anything strange to her, looking for trouble with the girl was very risky.

"Don't think too much, just pay the rent per creature." Alex replied with strange eyes.

'Be quiet Fenrir, this is for our common good.'

'Understand.'

"Well, what about ten gold coins for each creature? I'll pay you a week."

Alex's eyes widened to hear that, his base salary now only about thirty gold coins per month, the amount offered Julie more than his salary if totaled, even though it was new from one fairy, the amount offered by Julie was more than his salary, this is definitely a good opportunity that cannot be missed.

"Agreed." Alex approached Julie and shook her hand.

"In that case, I'd like to tie up a sek-contract"

Julie's sentence was cut off by the sound of sirens echoing through the city, a commotion started, the soldiers immediately directed the residents to enter the basement prepared by the military and the Alliance.

Alex and Julie rushed towards the fortress to support the defensive line, they were both support units in the back line, so there was no need for equipment like armor and swords.

"We'll talk about it later!" Julie exclaims to Alex, she pulls out a whistle and blows it hard.

Moments later, dozens of beasts were running towards Julie's location through a special path made for them. Julie climbed on the back of her beloved panther and drove towards the fortress.

'Shit! If only I could freely summon a fairy for me to ride.'

"GROUU."

Alex who was running was startled by a foreign voice next to him, he turned his head and looked at the fairy he had lent to Julie.

'Actually, I'm still the original owner.'

Alex jumped on the fairy's back. "It's time to have some fun Arno!"

"GRUU!"

.......

Waves this time successfully overcome when the sun has sunk completely, Alex shoots several fireballs into the sky to make sure there are no demons left outside the fortress.

"Good job today, Alex." Dustin approaches Alex and offers him a cigar, and Alex accepts it with pleasure.

"You wanna stop by the brothel after this?" Dustin asked after Wilman and Gilbert joined, the two of them were seen to have some injuries, but no injuries were severe enough.

Alex remembers Julie, maybe he'll find her after this. "Sorry, it looks like I still have business after this, you guys go first."

"Oh? Business with whom?" Gilbert asked curiously.

"With Julie."

The three people fell silent and looked at each other, after which they smirked evilly towards Alex.

"Wah wah wah ... You're a real classy bastard, aren't you? I envy you." Dustin pokes Alex in the stomach using his magic tool.

"She was tired of the goods in the brothel, now she was looking for something fresh. He's a classy bastard like you said." Gilbert added.

Alex breathed an upset breath. "It's not like that, I don't want to look for it because of the noble boy."

Dustin patted Alex on the back, he was just kidding, the three of them went to the brothel.

Julie appears shortly after as she expected, asking one new fairy to Alex while providing payment as agreed. She goes straight to the forest after, Alex gives her a butterfly-sized fairy with the power of the wind, Julie looks quite satisfied with it and immediately gives her a name.

In this way, Alex is like throwing two birds with one stone, he can strengthen the defense in the west, and also earn extra income of course.

Maybe he and Julie are the perfect combination of formations like Desmond-Alicia-Anford, although maybe the Alex-Julie formation remains out of proportion to their formation. Although the formation seemed to hold Desmond's potential, the most important thing right now was efficiency.

Come to think of it, there's another wanderer of light power in the west, his name is Egmont if Alex doesn't remember wrongly. But from the news he had heard from the other soldiers, the person was severely depressed after seeing the situation in the city where the massacre had occurred.

It's possible that person has the ability to synchronize well with the power of Alex and Julie.
