00284 Mercenary, settle down ———————————————————– —————————-=
‘It seems like you were making wild guesses and worrying again.’
Han So-young wanted to ask more questions, so she quickly changed the topic. When she saw her sitting with her hands on her hands, she couldn’t help but laugh. When an urgent situation arises, she shows an iron-blooded side, but she rarely shows this attitude in peacetime. In some ways, she had a cute appearance that was not like Han So-young.
Anyway, if I opened my mouth now, there was a strong possibility that I would burst into laughter, so I had no choice but to keep my lips tightly shut. It was a pretty difficult situation. Eventually, Han So-young’s milky-colored nape turned slightly red, and I could barely suppress the laughter that was creeping up her throat.
I slowly tried to open my mouth, but Han So-young seemed to be embarrassed by this situation and spoke first.
“I was worried a lot until you came back. It seems like your return is later than expected… .”
“I was able to catch the traces quickly. However, going back to the city in that situation seemed like it would be too much of a delay, so I decided to proceed as is. “We apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
“You don’t need to apologize. After reading the expedition report, the Mercenary Lord’s judgment was correct. As Monica’s representative clan, we express our deepest gratitude.”
“I just did what I had to do. “I feel burdened by undeserved praise.”
Praise and humility come and go. As time went on, the initially rigid atmosphere gradually became warmer. As I talked to Soyoung Han like this, I suddenly felt a strange feeling. In the first round, I was just a clan member, and she was a clan lord. A position that cannot be dared to be looked at, either in terms of reputation or position. Even now, it cannot be said that they are completely equal, but at least the position of representing one clan is the same.
I was in the middle of a gentle conversation with Han So-young. The two women sitting on either side of me caught my eye. Da-yeon Park looked like she was dying to join in on the conversation, and Hye-rim Yeon was giving her a pointed look. Although she said hello when she first came in, it seemed like she only talked to Han So-young after that.
“Anyway, thank you for your hard work. The investigation team has already been created and is scheduled to depart tomorrow. “The head of the investigation team was decided to be Yeon Hye-rim, the princess of execution here.”
“joy.”
“Yeon Hye-rim?”
“Soo, thank you for your hard work. Mercenary Road. “I’ll finish the rest.”
When Han So-young narrowed her eyebrows, Yeon Hye-rim immediately changed her attitude. She let out a slight laugh to show that I was okay. She said she would dispatch an investigation team tomorrow anyway, so it was definitely a very quick turnaround.
“Then we must now finalize the compensation issue.”
“Just give it to me as you originally decided. I would be happy with a 30% discount.”
“You can’t do that. And I originally said that compensation would be based on performance.”
“Sure, sure.”
Han So-young’s tone of voice gave a glimpse of her determination that she could not compromise on this much. Add one more drink and join in with Park Da-yeon. At this time, Da-yeon Park opened her mouth wide as if she wanted to intervene.
“That part I…” .”
“Once we have renovated the clan house, we will provide it to you free of charge.”
But Han So-young’s words were a beat faster. Da-yeon Park alternately looked at me and her with her mouth open, then made her crying face and pretended to yawn. Next to her, Yeon Hye-rim could be heard giggling under her breath.
“Well, for now. Wouldn’t that be a little excessive?”
“It’s not excessive at all. Even if you save just one user, it has invaluable value that cannot be compared to anything else. However, the Mercenary Lord saved the lives of seven people and conquered the Canyon of Illusion, which was one of the biggest problems. Rather, I feel like it is lacking as a clan house. Let’s see… . Da-yeon?”
As if finally giving her a chance, Han So-young called out to Park Da-yeon in a low voice. Da-yeon Park was puffing her cheeks and pouting her lips, but when I looked at her, she changed her expression in an instant. She suddenly thought that it would be quite fun to put Ansol and Park Da-yeon together. Oh, she almost laughed again.
‘Damn, this is harder than fighting. ‘You can’t let down your guard.’
“This is Da-yeon Park from Istantel Row.”
“I remember seeing you once last time. Nice to meet you.”
“yes. It certainly was. nice to meet you.”
His facial expression and tone of voice were quite noble. Yeon Hye-rim next to me said, “Fu.” I heard her laugh as if she was trying to hold it back. Oh please stop laughing. I can barely hold it in, so please.
I continued to pull myself together. Da-yeon Park glared at Hye-rim Yeon, who was covering her mouth with her head down, then turned her gaze back to me.
“Perhaps during this expedition? “Don’t you have equipment belonging to deceased users?”
“yes. I have it.”
It may be a nice side income, but it cannot be a source of income. Most of the equipment we collected was sub-type equipment, and most of the main equipment was severely damaged due to the battle with the vagabonds. In other words, it was difficult to get the right price for them. And almost none of the sub equipment was intact.
Anyway, after doing my own calculations, if I sold everything and got 8,000 gold, I could say I sold very well. The condition of the equipment was not that good.
“I received a request from my affiliated clan to help retrieve it. “He said that the situation for the three clans, especially Yeoulganek, has become very difficult, so it is difficult for him to tell you directly.”
“I understand. “I don’t intend to take that much, and I’m willing to hand over a reasonable amount.”
“Thank you for your words. Originally, I was planning to purchase equipment with 4,000 gold from each clan and 4,000 gold from Istantel Row. But before that, I have one question. “The renovation work will be completed soon, but now it’s time to decorate the interior, right?”
“Yes.”
“Does Mercantilery have users with architectural knowledge?”
This is a user with architectural knowledge. Shin Sang-yong came to mind for a moment, but I quickly erased the thought. In reality, he was a researcher, not an architect. After thinking deeply, he shook his head left and right, and Park Da-yeon’s eyes sparkled. I felt the soles of my feet hitting the floor.
“Then what if we do it like this? At Istantel Row, there is someone who came from the district and specializes in architectural design and interior design. They were also heavily involved in the design of the current Clan House on Istantel Row.”
“hmm. “I know what you mean.”
After nodding once or twice, Da-yeon Park smiled.
“It is difficult to provide support for special-purpose rooms such as workshops! We can help with basic furniture and interior design for living rooms, restaurants, accommodations, etc. It is not uncommon to receive requests from other clans, so you will never regret it. If you accept this offer, we will give you 4,000 gold first. And instead of getting the equipment back, 4,000 gold is used to cover internal costs. “Would you like to take a look at this?”
Da-yeon Park shot out words like a rapid-fire gun and handed me a few records with graceful gestures. I read it slowly and made various calculations in my mind.
To be honest, it wasn’t a bad offer. No, looking at the first line, it actually felt a bit excessive. Just casting an alarm spell on the wall and engraving a magic ring that limits external magical interference on the entire clan house was worth 3,000 gold. Considering that there were many other useful spells and high-end furniture listed in detail, the total cost was well over 4,000 gold.
‘hmm… .’
I think I know roughly what it is. There is no need to talk about this and that in a complicated way. Simply put, it means that they will apply saliva to the mercenary. If the representative clan of another city was like this, it might be worth considering, but if the opponent was Istantel or the Hamill clan, which was later the clan lord of my brother, there was no reason to refuse. Moreover, if you show off your close relationship with Istantel Row enough to settle down with Monica, the number of people doing foolish things will decrease significantly.
“or not… . Should I just give you gold?”
The voice became slightly more cautious than before. After looking at the records a little more, I smiled slightly and answered.
“haha. no. “How could I refuse to take care of all the troublesome parts?”
“Ho Ho. no. Then call? Oh, I’m sorry. Would you like to accept the offer?”
“Sure. “I will be grateful for your favor.”
When the record was handed back to her, Park Da-yeon smiled frivolously and had a triumphant expression on her face. Anyway, this roughly concludes the expedition. The results obtained there were great, but the rewards that came with the quest were not all satisfactory.
Han So-young was quietly listening to the conversation, but suddenly opened her mouth as if she knew that the conversation was going well.
“It’s a great choice. “I will take special care to please the Mercenary Lord and my clan members.”
“If you say you don’t like it, tell me. Those guys know me well, so if I tell them, they will change it without a second thought. yo. this.”
He spoke arrogantly to Yeon Hye-rim with his legs crossed, but when Han So-young looked at him, he hastily straightened his posture.
It would have been nice to stay here a little longer and chat, but I decided to get up for now. Since they said they were dispatching an investigation team tomorrow, Istantel Row would be busy and I also had some things left to do. So, I decided to slowly get up from my seat.
“All right. “Then I will go back right away and send you the equipment.”
“Yes, I would appreciate it if you could.”
Han So-young also stood up after me and began to approach me step by step. Then she stopped in front of me and gently held out her hand. I looked at it for a moment, then carefully extended my hand to shake his hand. Then, although it was cold, I felt her hand, which had an inexplicable warmth.
“Please take care of me in the future. “I have high expectations from the Mercenary Clan.”
Although she didn’t say it in detail, just those few words were enough to understand Han So-young’s intentions. Eventually, I slowly removed her hand and looked straight into her eyes. Han So-young’s black crystal eyes were deeply sunken as she looked at me.
*
Time passed, and before we knew it, we were approaching the completion of the clan house the next day. I already packed all my luggage. As today was our last day at the Love House, my clan members and I were gathered on the first floor, eating snacks and chatting. Of course, since all the Night Flowers were out for business, Madam Lim had also quietly joined the meeting.
“Ugh. It will finally be completed tomorrow. “I’m looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to it.”
“Hmph. Honestly, I wanted to do some shopping in the city.”
“Arthur. It’s better to leave it to the experts. And the furniture is of the highest quality and the price is very cheap. Do you really need to spend money just to go shopping? Hayeon’s sister said that. “The money was so tight.”
“Oh, it’s annoying, so stop preaching! Who said what? “Anyway, I’ll look at it tomorrow, and if I don’t like it, I’ll ask for it to be changed right away.”
Some clan members were talking nonsense about the clan house being completed tomorrow.
“Kyuakkyukkyuk!”
“The baby is so cute~!”
“Wow! Wow! “We’re good at uni~!”
“haha… .”
The rest of the clan members were huddled together and watching the baby unicorn dance.
And I was sitting in a corner, receiving a report from Ko Yeon-ju. Ko Yeon-joo requested a report on the warp gate restrictions that she requested earlier.
“Then you are unilaterally finding fault with the Golden Lion.”
“yes. It’s literally a one-sided cavil. At least Monica and Coran are in a better situation. They say that the situation in Cannes and other eastern cities is really serious. “Goryeo strongly protested several times, but it turned out to be a negative response.”
“How are users reacting?”
“It’s unclear who to point the arrow to. Anyway, the things Vivien ordered arrived two days ago, right? In other words, its use has not been completely banned, and the Golden Lion’s media play is still alive. And although it has cooled down a bit, they are still clinging to a cause. Well, he said he would lift the restrictions as soon as he accepted the Golden Lion’s demands, but would you accept that? Tsk.”
Go Yeon-ju clicked his tongue and finished his sentence. I listened quietly, nodding my head, and then let out a long sigh. I couldn’t clearly pinpoint what would happen next, but there was something unusual about it. It was a very weak energy, but it was an energy that could never be ignored. As I thought about the number of things that could happen, my head started to hurt slightly. It was then.
“Su-hyun. Don’t think about it too much. We don’t know what will happen yet, and tomorrow is the day the clan is completed. “Why don’t you just accept the things that come your way one by one?”
Jeong Ha-yeon must have noticed that I was deep in thought again, and consoled me with a clear voice next to me. She wasn’t wrong. I couldn’t go directly to Barbara and tell her to activate the warp gate right away, and I had no intention of doing so.
As Jeong Ha-yeon said, if there was nothing I could do now, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just watch how things progressed.
After tapping on the table for a while, I suddenly thought of something and looked at Jeong Ha-yeon.
“Now that I think about it, I couldn’t ask about Secret Class. How about this?”
“Very good. Special abilities have evolved, potential abilities have evolved, and ability levels have also risen. Thank you, Suhyun.”
“What. “Have you gained any unique abilities?”
“Unfortunately. But I’m quite satisfied.”
Jeong Ha-yeon smiled brightly and gently took my hand. I felt Go Yeon-ju’s sad gaze next to me, but I immediately activated my third eye.

‘You’ve grown a lot.’
Above all, it was definitely encouraging that his magic power exceeded 90 and his special abilities and potential abilities had evolved. But it wasn’t over yet. There was a need to check the overall growth of not only Jeong Ha-yeon but also the clan members. And during the time of reorganization, we must digest what we have gained this time as much as possible. Only then can you decide on your next course of action, no matter what you do.
First, we wait for the completion of the clan house tomorrow. And in the process of settling in, it was clear that both I and the clan members would be busy for a while. Slowly deciding what to do next, I quietly closed my eyes. The surrounding sounds I could hear were still loud.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hello. This is Ro Yujin.
Character settings will be updated. First of all, I plan to update the character settings (user information, equipment status, etc.) after sending out today’s review, review, and message reply. It is a bit difficult to do it all at once, so I plan to update each person one by one. And the changed abilities will also be revealed one by one throughout the novel. thank you
PS. As of episode 284, Kim Soo-hyun’s class powers, abilities, and equipment have been updated. You can see the work setting – number 3 Kim Soo-hyun (1).
『Reripple (Episode 282)』
1. Miwolya: Congratulations on first place. Kim Han-byeol also has a meeting part with Kim Soo-hyun. Although it is a bit short. 🙂
2. River of Tears: Haha. Sure. Of course I share it. Vivien’s interpretation will probably come first. 🙂
3. I’m dying: It looks like the elixir will probably appear in the next episode. I think it will be completed in 1-2 sessions. 🙂
4. Pineiro: Elixir is very expensive, and it is not often sold. 🙂 If there are users, they often eat it, so you can see that it is more expensive and rarely comes out compared to equipment that increases ability.
5. Office2Lub19: That’s right. In such cases, it would be convenient to think of it as being as advantageous to the user as possible. haha.
『Reripple (Episode 283)』
1. Soshi is just awesome: Congratulations on first place. Mercenary Clan’s specs are amazing, right? haha. It’s going to get even bigger in the future. 🙂
