00706 Angel’s Request. ————————————————– ———————-=
After leaving the Summoning Room, I immediately returned to Atlanta and called a meeting. Not only is it a matter of competing for the hourly rate, but anyway, since the request has been accepted, the mission must be carried out as quickly as possible. Fortunately, even though it was a little late, the clan members answered the call without saying anything.
The conference room was quiet. It’s so quiet and quiet that you can’t even hear the sound of breathing. As I sat on the throne and slowly looked around, I saw that the clan members were just glancing at me with their mouths tightly shut. I laughed bitterly to myself. I tried not to reveal it as much as possible, but it seems that my dirty feelings after meeting Seraph were expressed implicitly.
“A request has come in.”
Trying to keep my expression even, I quietly announced the start of the meeting.
“The client is a temple… . “An angel, to be exact.”
Slightly, the conference room became cluttered. Almost everyone looks at each other in confusion. It was worth it. Users might not know this, but this was the first time an angel had requested it.
“If you are an angel… . “Are you talking about a helper?”
Shin Jae-ryong raised his hand and asked. I nodded my head slightly.
“yes. “The client is the helper you all know.”
“her… .”
“I don’t have much time, so I’ll keep it brief. The request is to rescue users, and the target of rescue is users from the Western Continent.”
“… … ?”
Murmur.
When the details of the request were finally brought out, the commotion became even more intense. I was expecting it anyway, so I was just about to knock on the table a couple of times to silence him. Suddenly, several users raised their hands at once.
“Clan Lord. Western continent users? And rescue?”
The first to ask a question was Ha-yeon Jeong.
I sighed and clenched my chin.
“That’s literally it. I heard that the security situation on the Western Continent is very bad after the war with us. So, some of the users who couldn’t endure it attempted to move to the northern continent, and it seems there is a group chasing them. The angel called that group outlaws.”
“Oh, no… . so why… .”
“I do not know. “I also only briefly heard the details of the request, but did not hear the context.”
“… … .”
I cut off the conversation. I understand it’s confusing, but it was the same for me. I don’t know anything, so how can I explain? … shit. Thinking about it makes me angry again.
There was silence for a while.
The clan members continued to look at me, and Shin Jae-ryong quietly raised his hand.
“I… . Clan Lord. “Excuse me, but who does the outlaw refer to?”
“You can think of me as a vagabond. A vagrant of the Western Continent.”
“okay. Then we have to rescue them. Do you know the size of the group of outlaws currently pursuing Western Continent users?”
“I don’t know exactly. However, most of the outlaws are currently pursuing Western users who have fled to the Southern Continent. It is said that the number of people coming to the northern continent is relatively small, so I think we can sufficiently organize it at our level.”
I didn’t hear it clearly, but I’m sure it’s not wrong. Because Seraph did that.
Although we hate to admit it, angels always exist as helpers who do not harm users and give them sound advice. It would be better to keep your mouth shut, saying it is information that cannot be made public, and do not even intentionally lie.
Of course, it’s not because they care about us, but to achieve their own goals, but if you look at it at face value, you can’t deny their role as helpers. If you only look at it at face value.
“then… . The reward for the request is… .”
“It hasn’t been confirmed, but I was definitely promised that it would be given without any regrets. Perhaps clan members who participate this time will receive slightly different rewards than before.”
From that perspective, the compensation was also the same.
Anyway, after saying that, I decided to stop.
“Then now we have to announce the people who will participate in this request… .”
Little by little, he trailed off and stared straight ahead.
Unexpectedly, the clan members didn’t seem to have any major complaints.
no. Some people’s eyes were shining as if they actually wanted to go. Although there is still a hint of confusion, there is no sign of fear regarding the request. I don’t know if it changed after going through the Steel Mountains or if it was compensation, but it’s good anyway. Anyway, due to the nature of the request, there was a need to finish it as quickly as possible, so I opened my mouth quietly.
“Let’s get started right away. The close group includes me, Ko Yeon-ju, Nam Da-eun, Ahn Hyeon, Cha So-rim, and Heo Jun-young. More than 6 people. The archer is Seon Yu-un. More than 1 person. The wizard… . Let’s go for a moment. The priests are An Sol and Shin Jae-ryong. More than 2 people. Specially Baek Han-gyeol. “There is more than one person.”
Since I had already thought about it to some extent before coming, I was able to complete the personnel announcement quickly.
Except for wizards.
‘The wizard… .’
I crossed my arms, moved my fingers, and was deep in thought.
It’s not that there aren’t people to take. However, the problem was that Atlanta was still developing.
Now is the time to let go, but just withdrawing from the front line does not mean completely abandoning yourself. In other words, users were needed to remain in the city and take care of various things, and currently, most wizards were in charge of administrative work. I can’t guarantee when he will return, so I can’t just take him with me.
“The wizard… . “First of all, Vivien.”
As soon as one person was called, Vivien cocked her nose and showed off her arrogance. As if he knew he would be chosen. Even if you have Vivien, he is likely to hinder the city’s development, so it would be helpful to take him with you.
‘I think I only need one person… .’
I thought about it again and again.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon must always be in the city… . Kim Han-byeol is still having a hard time because of old man’s work… . Sasha is not suitable for large-army battles… . Won Hye-soo and Pyo Hye-mi are a little uneasy… . Helena is dead… . ah.’
At that moment, my thoughts went to Jegal Haesol. I suddenly raised my eyes and made eye contact. However, Jegal Haesol suddenly widened his eyes and gently turned his head. No matter how much he tries to think positively, it doesn’t translate into him wanting to go. It was a request I didn’t really want to do, so I didn’t have any intention of forcing it.
When I thought about it like that, I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘Has there ever been a wizard so trustworthy and useful in our clan?’
Although it is said that several circumstances coincided, it left a bitter taste in my mouth. Belated regret came to me. If I had known this would happen, I would have trained a spirit summoner a long time ago.
The power of a wizard in a large-army battle is truly enormous. I don’t think it would be a problem to just go on like this, but I wanted to at least do my best to prepare the wizard.
“I… . Clan Lord.”
It was then.
“If you’re worried about a wizard… .”
Ha-yeon Jeong must have sensed my concerns and spoke to me cautiously. I tapped her chin to tell her to speak quickly.
“How about asking your uncle for help?”
And Ha-yeon Jeong came up with a plan that I had never thought of.
“Master? “Are you talking about my older brother?”
“yes. My uncle. “This is a request from the Clan Lord, but wouldn’t it be okay for you to participate as a mercenary?”
“But my brother is probably busy with city development issues right now.”
“As far as I know, Clan Hamill has many users who are responsible for administrative work, and I also heard that they receive a lot of help from affiliated clans. And when the Clan Lord asks for help, he will come running right away. “I’m going to pay off the debt I owed during the last attack.”
“Hmm. still… .”
“Of course, I’m not just asking for help. If you help with the request, not only will you receive the promised reward, but we can also say that we will provide separate help in developing the city in the future, right? “On the condition that we either remove some residents who will return to our affiliated clans, or provide gold coins for free.”
Jeong Ha-yeon explained in a step-by-step tone.
I was lost in deep thoughts.
It’s definitely not wrong. If what Jeong Ha-yeon said is true, asking his older brother for help wouldn’t be a big burden. Above all, I know my brother’s abilities best.
Thunder Emperor.
It goes without saying that it was the best secret class that showed tremendous power especially in battles against large groups.
Even though I thought about whether this could really be the case, I couldn’t stop my mind from leaning to one side in the end.
‘Now that I think about it, there’s no law that says you’ll only get help from your brother.’
As soon as my thoughts reached that point, I ended up quietly opening my mouth.
“Jeong Ha-yeon. “A communication bead.”
“All right. Clan Lord.”
Jeong Ha-yeon smiled and stood up.
*
It was the middle of the night when Baek Han-gyeol opened his eyes. It was probably around 4 o’clock in the morning.
“Ugh… .”
Baek Han-gyeol yawned and raised his upper body, then suddenly widened his eyes. Two hands slowly trace his body. Baek Han-gyeol was fully armed, like a user about to go on an expedition. This is not an outfit suitable for going to bed.
“Oops!”
At that moment, Baek Han-gyeol suddenly stood up from his seat. At first glance, it was just dark outside the window. However, as if he was in such a hurry, Baek Han-gyeol took his eyes off him with quick movements, inspected his clothes, and then hurried out of the room, carrying a round shield that was placed at an angle on one side of the bed.
Finally, I quickly walked down the stairs, left the castle entrance, and entered the streets of Atlanta. On the street where the darkness was still permeating the dawn, users were occasionally seen moving around busily, even though it was still early morning. Sometimes, there were users who saw Baek Han-gyeol and approached him secretly, but Baek Han-gyeol deliberately pretended not to notice and expressed his intention to refuse.
These are probably people who dream of making a fortune in Atlanta and are looking for companions for exploration early in the morning.
Thinking so, Baek Han-gyeol walked even faster. Exploring isn’t bad, but there was something more important today.
yesterday evening. After the urgently convened meeting ended, Kim Soo-hyun ordered one additional item from the clan members who participated in the request. The order was nothing more than an instruction to decide on a gathering place and come separately to the gathering place before carrying out the request. Rather than moving all at once and creating unnecessary rumors, the intention was to carry out the request as secretly and quickly as possible.
Anyway, Kim Soo-hyun asked for two things.
Arrive at the meeting point without attracting as much attention as possible. And never be late.
How much time has passed?
Before long, Baek Han-gyeol was able to arrive at Mule, where the gathering point was located. Halfway through the warp gate, he saw a woman looking at him with her strange eyes and regretted not putting on her robe and coming out, but other than that, it was a fairly successful(?) arrival.
Unlike Atlanta, Mule was completely quiet, so I was able to walk without any interruption.
“A discreet lady… . A discreet lady… .”
Baek Han-gyeol absentmindedly repeated the name of the building at the meeting point and walked toward the shopping district. Perhaps because urban development had stopped, the streets had a complex structure with many shops close together. However, since the meeting place had already been set up several times yesterday, Baek Han-gyeol’s legs moved without stopping even though he had an uncertain face.
“Bend from this side… .”
Baek Han-gyeol walked in a straight line for about 5 minutes after going around the old building called ‘Young Master Jewelry Store’, which was now completely ruined. Soon, she was able to find an old inn called ‘A Discreet Lady’ with a sign showing a woman in a skirt standing everywhere.
“after. good.”
Baek Han-gyeol looked at his surroundings carefully while muttering with a brighter face. Actually, it’s inevitable if you get caught, but they say the atmosphere creates the situation. For some reason, Baek Han-gyeol felt as if he was part of a secret society.
smart.
“I’m Baek Han-gyeol.”
I didn’t mind just going in, but I still knocked politely on the door. And the moment I quietly opened the door and looked inside, a look of bewilderment appeared on her pale, pretty face.
Kitchen, counter, table, etc. It was a typical inn scene that can be seen anywhere.
However, the users at the inn were not common at all. First of all, the woman occupying one of the tables and putting her head down is not a Mercenary Clan member.
He must have woken up when he heard Baek Han-gyeol come in, and he raised his head and glared with narrowed eyes.
“… “Who is he again?”
“Shield of God.”
The answer came from the side. It was a man with his body buried in a wobbly chair, holding a black spear in his arms. The giant, who was almost 2 meters tall, was definitely not a Mercenary Clan member.
The woman opened her mouth.
“Shield of God?”
“They say it’s a secret class that specializes in defense.”
“Hmm. Anyway, this clan has a lot of amazing kids… .”
“… … .”
The woman spoke in a low voice and the man quietly closed his eyes.
Baek Han-gyeol was embarrassed. I’m sure he was talking about himself, but I couldn’t quite remember who those two people were. Come to think of it, I think I saw it once or twice somewhere… .
It was a moment when I was trying to remember who it was with just my face in focus.
“this… . “Am I the latest?”
Suddenly, a cold coat with the early morning wind brushed against my back.
Finally, Baek Han-gyeol reflexively turned around.
“I’m sorry. “Would you mind moving out of the way?”
I could see a man with golden eyes wearing a stylish jet black wizard coat.

I think I know what it feels like to have cancer.
Seriously, I’ve been in a weird mood all day today.
no. It’s still like that.
