00280 Get some rest, please ——————————————– —————————-=
“Welcome to Mercenary Road.”
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
“It was nothing. I was waiting. Then this way.”
As soon as I visited Monica’s temple, a female priest came out and welcomed Baek Han-gyeol. She must have been contacted in advance because she said, ‘I was waiting.’
The atmosphere is definitely different from Mule. The woman who had been given ‘authority’ had a distinctly different vibe from other residents. She had a pale expression on her face, but her eyes were sharp. What I like most is that he has a very businesslike attitude. Depending on how you look at them, they may be seen as cheesy, but these types of people handle at least one task meticulously.
Unlike the entrance, which was crowded with users, the more we entered, the quieter the interior became. Eventually, as she put her butt on the table chair that the priest guided her to, she spoke in a cold voice.
“Anything to drink?”
“it’s okay. “I will start reporting right away.”
“great. “Then let’s listen.”
Baek Han-gyeol was in a very timid state. The priest’s chilling attitude makes him seem like he’s thinking deeply about what he may have done wrong. As he laughed at his still-natured personality, he saw a priest holding a record and a quill pen in front of him, preparing to take notes. I immediately began the oral report (short form).
Expedition reporting is a very important process. This process is recorded, and the remaining records are transferred to the library and placed in the appropriate category. In the future, users who go to Delirium Mountain or Hallucination Canyon will inevitably stop by the library and may read my records. If incorrect information is entered in the record, it may lead to a dangerous situation that could directly affect the lives of users. Therefore, when reporting on an expedition, false reports were something that should absolutely be avoided. If you lie for no reason to improve performance, but the investigation team turns out to be false, you can’t get rid of it.
Maybe I was in a similar situation right now. Many well-known clans also failed to conquer the Valley of Illusion. However, the clan ranked at D Zero was conquered by users of a new clan. Normally, I would have asked a lot of questions, but for some reason, the priestess just calmly took what I said and wrote it down. It was probably influenced by Istantel Law’s influence and the users who were being treated somewhere in the temple by now.
Baek Han-gyeol seemed restless, but I continued the story, feeling warm in my own way.
“… So the unicorns dropped us off at the end of the Plain of Wailing, and we were able to return to the city. That is all.”
Eventually, I was able to finish the expedition report in about an hour. When I glanced down, I saw a lot of records neatly piled up. My hands would have hurt after using it that much, but I was maintaining my original facial expression without the slightest frown. She bit the tip of her quill and quietly purred her mouth, then exhaled loudly and raised her head.
“after. “I heard you well.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“This is my job. Anyway, that’s it. There are a few things in the middle that I don’t understand… .”
“What part is it?”
“No, you already explained the matter in detail when you reported it. “You said you felt like you were being cornered, right?”
I nodded calmly. The priest had a serious expression on his face and twirled his quill.
“I can sufficiently prove other things because of Istantel Row’s testimony and the users who came back alive. But this… .”
“It’s not a lie. “There will be traces left on the path we took.”
“I’m not saying it’s a lie. This means that it cannot be taken lightly. And Mercenaries are the clan that has been entrusted with the work of Istantel Row. To corner such people is to directly challenge Monica’s authority. Still these days… .”
The priest savored his appetite once and continued speaking in a low voice.
“Anyway, I will investigate this matter separately and report it to Istantel Row. Of course, I will also contact the Mercantile Lord.”
“Oh, no. You’re probably busy already, so there’s no need to go that far… .”
“Istantel Row is very interested in the Mercantile Clan. You don’t have to feel burdened. Because of course it has to be done. Anyway, congratulations on completing your mission and successful expedition. The investigation team will be established today at the earliest, or tomorrow at the latest. “With this level of performance, I think we can look forward to it after the investigation is over.”
‘You talk so fast.’
I had mentally prepared myself for the parts that could raise objections, but after going through such an exciting(?) event, I felt a little lost. In any case, all I had to do was accept it as a good thing and feel good about it. Now that I’ve said everything I have to say, all I have to do is quietly wait for the results.
“All right. Well then, let’s go. Hangyeol, wake up.”
“wait a minute.”
As I was about to get up from my seat, the priest’s words caught me. Baek Han-gyeol, who was getting up from the chair after me, stopped in an awkward posture.
“I received a call from Istantel Row this morning.”
“yes.”
“If you have time, you said you would like to visit Mercenary Lord.”
“haha… . All right.”
I need to visit it at least once anyway. When I nodded willingly, a small smile appeared on the priest’s lips. Looking at it, I was able to guess the relationship between Istantel Row and the temple.
“I think today will be a little difficult. I have something else to do. “I will come and see you there in person tomorrow.”
“yes.”
*
After finishing the expedition report, I took Baek Han-gyeol to the ‘Fly Chick’ bar. Originally, I was planning on just buying street food and eating it while looking around the inside of the clan house. However, since the expedition report ended earlier than expected, we decided to have an early dinner.
The interior design looks luxurious at first glance, and the employees are reminiscent of Western butlers. Baek Han-gyeol seemed cautious as if it was his first time coming to a place like this. Soon, a male waiter brought the ordered food and began to politely place it on the table. After giving him a silver coin as a tip, we ate and talked about various things.
“Anhyun and Yujeong praised you a lot.”
“Hehe, brother too… . ah. “I’m sorry.”
“are you okay. You’re part of us now, so what? “When it’s just the two of us, you can call me hyung.”
“thank you.”
“What is gratitude? But when I saw you earlier, you looked really frozen. “Were you that scared of the priest?”
Baek Han-gyeol was tearing up warm bread and dipping it into the soup, but suddenly he started to tremble as if he remembered the female resident priest.
“When I first saw it, I got goosebumps for no reason. The attitude is also overbearing.”
“haha. The original authorized residents are like that. You can’t judge them based on their simple attitude. In any case, it is clear that we are helpful.”
“But if we continue to maintain that attitude, won’t we cause friction with users?”
“It’s not impossible. But unless you go crazy, it must be hard to do that, right? We have an inseparable relationship with the residents. The closer you are, the more comfortable it becomes to be active. So what about the opposite?”
“It will be uncomfortable.”
‘Of course, only for those who are useful.’
I muttered to myself, thinking of Mule. Baek Han-gyeol was nodding his head, his cheeks puffing out. When the two of us were together for the first time in a while, I was able to see a side of me that I hadn’t seen since joining Mercantile, as if he was thinking about the academy.
Baek Han-gyeol is pretty. Suddenly, a strong thought occurred to me. Eyes like the milky way, a sharp nose, and a handsome appearance. Plus, the sight of him chewing his food with his pink lips licking. The waiter even glanced at us and said, “Then, have a good time.”
“lol. “It’s delicious, bro.”
“huh? Oh, eat a lot.”
“yes. “Brother, please eat a lot too.”
There was no particular reason why I brought Baek Han-gyeol with me. He was the last of us to come in, and as soon as he arrived he had to set off on a difficult expedition. Even though he was pretending to be okay on the outside, the scent of the earth would still be strong. There is no way there are no internal injuries. Even though it was strange that he didn’t want to show it, it was necessary to coddle him once or twice so that he didn’t break down. Above all, he is an awakened secret class with a lot of potential for development, ‘Shield of God’.
“okay… . Anyway, how about joining the clan? “Is there anything difficult?”
“yes. are you okay.”
“I know it’s not okay, so tell me. “It’s okay to say everything in front of your brother.”
“Yes… .”
When I advised him gently, Baek Han-gyeol looked worried. However, he is secretly watching me, and it seems like there is definitely something bothering me.
“that is… . Rather than saying it’s necessarily difficult… .”
“I’m a little sad. “I never thought Hangyeol would hide something from his brother.”
“Oh, no, brother! I just feel like I’m causing trouble for no reason… .”
“It’s my job to solve that, too.”
Baek Han-gyeol still did not open his mouth easily. However, after I continued to pester him once or twice, he eventually sighed and confessed his true feelings.
“actually… .”
*
After finishing the meal, I sent Baek Han-gyeol away first. Even though I finished my work, I wasn’t going back to the Love House right away. Since I was on my way anyway, I thought I would stop by the clan house and see how much it had changed.
When I arrived in front of the clan house, I could see that the front door had changed. It was not the rusty door of the past, but a wooden door with a fine, shiny texture. And when I opened the door and went inside, I saw a beautiful garden with beautiful trees, flowers, and grass. It boasted such outstanding scenery that it felt as if it had been taken from a part of nature.
Of course, it wasn’t just the scenery that was nice. It was designed with careful consideration for residence and movement, so it had multiple paths.
The building also had a neat exterior and sophisticated grandeur, unlike before. In some ways, it looked like nature itself, but in other ways, it looked like a resort built on top of a garden.
I wanted to go inside, but unfortunately there was a curtain on the door. It appears that the interior renovation work is not yet complete. After looking at the pond filled with clean water in the corner of the garden, I turned away from the door. It could be said that it would be perfect only after hiring employees and filling it with furniture, but considering that it was the first place, it was a very good clan house.
The sky was becoming increasingly dusky. After reporting on the expedition, eating, and looking around the clan house, quite a bit of time had passed. Before it got any darker, I went straight to the Love House where my clan members were waiting. If I looked hard, I could find more things to do, but I wanted to quickly finish today’s work and rest my body.
As I finally pushed through the door of the love house, I stopped for a moment at the sight in front of me. Ko Yeon-ju, who was on the first floor, seemed to have sensed the door opening and immediately came running out to greet me.
“Su-hyun! welcome. “I was waiting.”
“Ah yes. But wait a moment. What is this… .”
In the center of the first floor, what I instructed Ha-yeon to do earlier was happening. The achievements from this expedition as well as the achievements from the Mule were neatly listed. In addition, the order form placed on top of each piece of equipment was flashing light, as if most of the Goods Appraisal had already been completed.
“Hey, look at these wand options! Ordo of Order? I’m not joking. “Kkkkkkk.”
“What are these clothes? “Is it too erotic?”
“huh. “You shouldn’t wear it.”
“You crazy bastard. Do you keep messing with me? “I’ve been holding back these days so I can’t see anything, right?”
The first floor was very complex. All the tables were moved to one side, and the clan members were busy looking around the equipment. And the Night Flowers and Lim Hanna, who live in the Love House, are looking at it with envy.
“Why did you put this on the first floor?”
“Well, Suhyun’s room is the biggest, right? However, when I tried to place the equipment one by one, there was not enough space… .”
“Good performance.”
When I narrowed my eyes and looked at Go Yeon-ju, she stuck out her tongue with a sour expression on her face. Then he rolled his eyes around and said.
“Actually, I have a favor from Hannah.”
“Madame Lim?”
“yes. Among the kids working here, there are a few who are capable of becoming combat users. He said he wanted to motivate those kids… .”
“hmm.”
‘Well, there weren’t any really good kids. Except Lim Hannah.’
Among subsistence users, there are some who give up on guessing due to low abilities or who feel sorry for their lives. However, the people inside the Love House had already looked at it with their third eyes. As Go Yeon-ju said, there were one or two people who might be able to do it if they worked hard, but honestly, it wasn’t enough to be accepted into the mercenary. That’s why I didn’t pay any attention in the first place.
“Ah~. Suhyeon~. You won’t be angry, right? yes?”
“… “You’re going to have to go through quite a bit of trouble to put it back up.”
Go Yeon-ju must have seen my expression hardening, so she crossed her arms and made a cute gesture. I sighed and nodded. As I turned my head, I felt the flowers of the night glancing at me. Looking at the shocked expressions on some people’s faces, it seemed like the fact that the Shadow Queen was showing off her charms was quite shocking.
Soon, I made eye contact with Im Hanna, who was standing quietly behind them. She bowed her head politely and then looked apologetic. I nodded my head in approval and slowly walked towards where the equipment was displayed.
“Kkyukkyun!”
The baby unicorn, who was playing among the equipment, noticed me like a ghost and immediately started running towards me. The guy had a very happy face, probably enjoying this lively atmosphere. As I picked up the baby unicorn, the clan members who had been preoccupied with the equipment began to look at me one by one.
“Uh, bro!”
“Kim Soohyun! “It’s Kim Soo-hyun!”
“brother. “When did you come?”
“leader!”
Even so for Ahn Hyeon, Vivien, and Lee Yu-jeong. Why on earth is the normally calm Shin Sang-yong making such a fuss? As I approached and comforted the unicorn, which was rubbing its head in my arms at the speed of light, the clan members immediately surrounded me.
“brother! brother! Look at the equipment! It’s absolutely amazing! Ordo of Order, this is perfect… .”
“Kim Soohyun! Give me that! “I want that!”
“Oppa~. Can’t I just give Skurepp back now? And~.”
“Okay, okay. for a moment. “Let’s take a moment and talk.”
After the kids, who were noisy like new babies, were quiet, I was finally able to get to where the equipment was. There, Ha-yeon Jeong and Han-byeol Kim were diligently reciting the Goose Appraiser spell for the remaining achievements. The two looked at me and tried to stand up, but I held up my hand to stop them.
“sorry. There are so many difficult emotions… .”
“it’s okay. “It may be difficult, but please try just a little longer.”
“yes. Well, let me finish appraising the item first. It’s almost over. Hanbyeol, let’s start again.”
“yes.”
Both of them must have been chanting until their mouths were swollen, and their sweat-soaked hair was sticking to their cheeks. Soon, as I watched them chanting the spell again, I began to look at the equipment that had been appraised. No, I just pretended to look. No matter how good a goose appraiser is, the third eye is much more accurate. So I immediately activated my third eye.
『Caligo Abraxas』
(Explanation: ‘A bird comes out of an egg. The egg is a world. Anyone who wants to be born must destroy a world.’ This is Abraxas, the sword used by the ancient warrior Lloyd. It looks like an ordinary sword, but it is infused with a certain amount of magical power. According to legend, when the seal is broken, it is so powerful that it is said that it ‘cut the world apart.’ Although it is only a legend, the latent power is still there to defeat the Demon King. It is powerful enough to be forcibly destroyed. However, it has now been forcibly corrupted by an evil wizard. Its original name was the divine sword Abraxas, but it is now given the name Caligo (darkness) and has taken on the properties of a magic sword.)
『Paradisus Plate Mail』
(Description: This is a breastplate-shaped armor worn around the upper body, blessed by an archangel. It has the ability to convert all ‘physical’ damage inflicted on the wearer into ‘magic’ damage and reflect it. The damage returned varies depending on the case, The maximum is 20%. If damage exceeds the shock that can be absorbed, the reflection effect does not occur.)
『Orthros Long Boots』
(Explanation: In the distant past, a ‘star’ fell in the ancient kingdom of Hol Plain. At the time, the king found this suspicious and moved the fallen star to the palace. He called in the best wizards and blacksmiths of the time to analyze the star, and removed some of them. I made equipment. These boots are made from a part of a star, and were completed at sunrise on the 1000th day, giving them the name Orothros. At first glance, they look very clunky and heavy because they are made of gemstones, but they are made with lightweight magic and It has flexibility and automatic adjustment magic that adapts to the user’s feet. It also has the ancient top magic Rapid, so if the wearer can control it, he or she will be able to make amazing movements that no one can match. It is also called Rapid Star by combining rapid and star.)
『Brilliant Flash: Laura Phylis』
(Description: This is a bow made from broken branches of the world tree, Yggdrasil. It is tightly wrapped with blessed leaves and soaked in a fairy lake for over 100 years before being taken out. It has been passed down over a long period of time and has become a ‘magic’ of legend. It is a weapon. It does not require strings or arrows. It is possible to create an arrow made of brilliant light with only magical power, and the arrow fired is like a ‘flash’, hence the name ‘Brilliant Flash’.)
『Yggdrasil’s Leaves Clothes』
(Description: Clothing made from the leaves of the world tree Yggdrasil. It is not made from ordinary leaves, but only from the leaves that bloom at the top of Yggdrasil, which blooms once every 10 years. The scent of such leaves has many effects. It has the ability to maintain maximum concentration in any urgent situation, and has strong resistance to mental contamination type magic. It also has the effect of absorbing ‘water’ type magic. The only drawback is that the parts that cannot be covered are defense. It means you can’t do it.)
『Rhiza Boots』
(Description: These boots are made by cutting the root of the world tree Yggdrasil. It has the effect of lightening the wearer’s body, and the effect is doubled when in the forest. If a ‘human’ rather than a ‘fairy’ uses these boots, If you wear it, you will be able to have movements and jumping abilities similar to those of a fairy.)
“Suhyeon, how are you? There are a lot of good ones, right?”
As I read the messages floating in the air, I barely swallowed my sleep. Go Yeon-ju’s ecstatic voice is heard from the side.
I knew I would get these types of equipment, but actually getting them gave me a new feeling. But it’s not over yet. The headband, the two unidentified daggers, the ability to inherit the class, and the achievements obtained in Marvolo’s laboratory still remain. And we must not forget the tears of the Fairy Queen.
Controlling my pounding heart, I turned my third eye towards the remaining items.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hello. This is Ro Yujin.
Ugh. When I wrote down the equipment description, it was 3KB in total. Assuming that we are uploading at least 11KB, devoting 30% to equipment descriptions seems a bit much, so we just increased the amount. In the next episode, I need to explain about 6 to 7 pieces of equipment. I don’t think the rest will be necessary. ‘ㅅ’ From the next episode, we will try to shorten the explanation a bit. As I put legends and records into each piece of equipment… . OTL
P.S. English was added additionally. Thank you for your valuable advice. _(__)_
『Reripple』
1. Miwolya: Congratulations on first place. Since there are a lot of equipment descriptions, I thought it would be better to split it into two. As for the rest of the explanation… . I think the explanation will exceed 50% of the content. ㅜ.ㅠ
2. Fallen Wing: Please understand… . It’s not that I don’t do training, it’s that I really can’t do it… . If I have time left for OTL, I’ll upload the re-ripple at midnight, but I’m barely able to keep up with the length of the series… . ;cow; Black, black, black… .
3. Burning Potato: Eh, bye. Isn’t it cute? Kkyunya~. If you do it, it’ll be great~. I think it would be really cute like this. lol.
4. Brichio: There are some that make me cringe, but there are also a lot of strange sentences. lol. First of all, I will delete all the strange parts and random jokes in the rite of passage. The scene where he breaks up with Hanbyul is also changed to be a little softer.
5. Office2Lup19: Oh my. What OfficeTurup19 said also makes sense. When setting up Ansol’s personality, the personality was very narrow in scope at the time. In the meantime, I diversified my tendencies. I will refer to that part when proofreading the e-book. thank you
6. Qbegaekkki: Thank you for the coupon. _(__)_ yes. If you give coupons to writers, they will receive manuscript fees, and Qbe Gaegaekkki will probably have an extended period of time using Noble.
7. Cheonnyang Bo-eun: Proofreading e-book wasn’t easy. ㅜ.ㅠ Honestly, the beginning was really… . lol.
8. Parnar: Hmm~. Maybe if you build a clan house and take the elixir, it won’t come out after that? I think it will come at the end of this rest + settling down chapter.
9. I’m so happy: Modification completed. thank you _(__)_
10. Yurikenne: Huh? I’m curious about the meaning of your last words. Request an accurate, detailed, and detailed explanation. I wonder!
Thank you for always reading. Your recommendations and comments are of great help.
I hope you can always read my writing with a comfortable mind.
Selection, recommendations, comments, criticism, and questions are always welcome.
fantasy,
