00322 None ———————————————— ————————=
I didn’t answer right away. Instead, he quietly stared at Vivien. She was showing off her confidence that she would definitely succeed.
If I think about it carefully, Vivien has never disappointed me. Wasn’t it thanks to her that some of her chronic physical strength problems were resolved?
I was fiddling with the fruit of Yggdrasil and opened my mouth, feeling happy.
“That’s pretty cool, Vivian. “Now I know how to say something appetizing.”
“huh? What are you pulling? Gumi?”
“It means there is interest. by the way… . Is it really necessary to use 16 bottles for one Baek Seo-yeon? “Even the Fairy Queen said eight bottles were enough.”
“ah. In some ways, this potion can be seen as a double-edged sword. It’s really a one-in-a-kind case. If Baek Seo-yeon drinks this potion and still resists, then it may become difficult to hit her with most methods. “You told me about your tolerance earlier, right?”
“Right. Then one more question. Is there any way to influence the mind other than potions? You said before that there are two ways. For example, like Marvolo back then… .”
When she glanced at Ordo out of the corner of her eye and cheered him up, Vivien burst out laughing brightly.
“Ahaha! I know what you’re thinking. Kim Soohyun. I’m sorry, but directly manipulating the mind is impossible with my current skills. No, that’s a process that even Marvolo, the so-called archmage, failed.”
“okay? “That’s a bit of a shame.”
“But it’s not like there’s no way. I think I could imitate some of the fun things shown here by using the powers that lie dormant in this wand. Anyway, there are many ways. I am only making suggestions, so the choice is yours. Kim Soohyun.”
okay. In the end, the choice was mine. Suddenly, I thought it was a good idea to talk to Vivien. I don’t know if it was the effect of the contract or her original personality, but it seemed like she was genuinely planning to completely destroy Baek Seo-yeon’s spirit.
Anyway, Vivien’s words were still only in the planning stage. Only when you actually take action will you be able to decide on something concrete.
Having made up my mind, I decided to end the interview and go to the meeting.
“good. decided. “I will make sure your plan is approved.”
“Good good. “It’s a very good choice.”
“I plan to build a prison in the underground training hall soon. I will give you permission to come and go there as you please. And if you need anything, whether it’s manpower or materials, let me know. “I will support you generously.”
“after. “I think Kim Soo-hyun is finally recognizing my true worth.”
Vivien crossed her arms under her armpits and nodded with a smug look on her face. Suppressing the sudden surge of sadism, I continued calmly.
“Okay, okay. “I will delegate all authority for this matter, so do your best.”
“Stop worrying. “Have I ever disappointed you even once?”
does not exist. In my opinion, Vivien was the best person to work with the vagabonds.
I nodded once or twice and then got up. Then, Vivien, who was intoxicated by his confidence, opened her eyes and opened her mouth.
“Are you going?”
“huh. I think I have to go to the meeting now. You don’t have to come in. “I won’t touch you at all for the time being, so just focus on your work.”
“ah… .”
“why?”
At that moment, Vivien’s face, which had been arrogant just a moment ago, instantly fell. She pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something, but she soon stood up to face him with a sullen look on her face.
‘Why are you doing this all of a sudden?’
“Vivien?”
“okay… . I will… .”
Vivien answered in a feeble voice as she piled up the items.
I tilted my head to see if I had made a mistake, but I couldn’t think of anything in particular.
Finally, as I was about to open the door and leave to go to the conference room, a faint voice flowed into my ears.
“fool. It’s okay to touch it… .”
‘… … .’
What was Vivien trying to say?
*
“Then we will end the meeting with this.”
I organized the records I wrote down earlier and announced that the meeting had been canceled. Even though it was a meeting, it didn’t have much substance. Now that the most important problem of vagabonds was taken care of, the rest wasn’t all that difficult.
“Everyone may still be tired, but the situation around us is very chaotic. “I think mercenaries also need to prepare well for this situation.”
Currently, everyone except Vivien and Shin Jae-ryong was sitting in the conference room on the third floor. After watching the clan members nod their heads one by one, I turned my attention to Ahn Hyeon and Jeong Ha-yeon.
“You two will have tasks that I have personally entrusted to you. Please think about each of them and tell us what you will adjust in detail within today.”
“Yes Clan Lord. But what should I tell you about detailed adjustments?”
“Hyeon Ahn, you were the one who settled the equipment accounts, right? You can’t do that alone. You’ll need goose appraisers, and you’ll also need people to help. “I mean, tell me that.”
“aha.”
Ahn Hyeon must have understood only then, nodding and lowering his head. And she looked at Go Yeon-joo with sinister eyes, but then she turned her gaze to her face, as if she had seen something.
“Then we will disperse. Everyone go out, and the old man takes a moment… .”
“Please stay here,” I was about to say, but I paused for a moment. This is because Baek Han-gyeol, who was sitting at the end of the table, was raising his hand. It was very unusual for him to ask to speak in public, so I quickly motioned for him to stand up.
“User Baek Han-gyeol. “Is there something you want to say?”
“Okay, Clan Lord. “I’m sorry.”
Baek Han-gyeol stood up trembling and immediately apologized. It was difficult to say that his pale face was simply because he was nervous. Come to think of it, I thought it was a little strange that he seemed restless throughout the meeting.
“say it. “What on earth is going on?”
“I am… . I should have told you yesterday… . I didn’t know and forgot… . I’m so happy to meet you, brother… .”
“Baek Han-gyeol. “Calm down, calm down and calm your mind.”
“Well, that…” .”
Gibberish. Baek Han-gyeol seemed even more embarrassed as his clan members turned to him. As I couldn’t figure out what to say, I just patted the table and waited for the next words. After knocking about ten times, the guy finally started talking again.
“Actually, when the clan members left the city to look for my brother… . I gave some help at Istantel Row.”
“hmm. okay. “User Jeong Ha-yeon made a request and said that they had sent personnel to protect the clan house in case of any unexpected situation.”
It was a story I had already heard from Jeong Ha-yeon. Now that I think about it, I have to express my gratitude for this as well, so I was thinking of visiting Istantel Row sometime soon.
“yes… . But a week before my return, I received a call from Hayeon’s sister via crystal ball. She got a call saying she was alive… .”
“so.”
“So, I was happy and told the person who came to protect me at that time. He said he was acquainted with the clan lord… . But he came the next day… . that is… .”
“Baek Han-gyeol. Don’t stutter. Don’t spin it around. “Just tell me what the problem is.”
In the end, I couldn’t overcome the growing frustration and ended up letting out a stern voice. I knew he had this kind of personality originally. Still, while talking with Vivien, who understood right away when I pretended, I felt very frustrated listening to Baek Han-gyeol’s words.
Baek Han-gyeol must have sensed this as well, and continued speaking with a winced face.
“There was something I asked you to convey to the clan lord in Istantel Row. He told me to bring the vagabonds straight to the clan house in Istantel when I got back. I should have told you that yesterday, but I forgot… . I’m really sorry.”
The moment I heard those words, the first emotion that came to mind was curiosity. If I had sent the message a week ago, it would have still been on its way back. But I didn’t understand how they knew that we had caught the vagabonds in Istantel Row.
“So you’re saying I told you before we came back. “How did Istantel Row know that?”
“That’s probably what Hangyeol said. “I told him that I had met with the clan lord and also explained the situation.”
“User Jeong Ha-yeon?”
“yes. Hangyeol said he wanted to know more… .”
The answer came from Jeong Ha-yeon. I gently bit my lip.
“Baek Han-gyeol. Then, when you told me that fact, did the person who came to protect you say that? “Without any doubt?”
“yes… . Tell your Clan Lord to bring the vagabonds to our Clan House. You said this. ah! And we are planning to have a summons soon, so please attend there too… .”
“draft call? “Who on earth said that?”
“The princess of execution… .”
Only then did I roughly understand the situation.
okay. Han So-young was not a person who would make mistakes, and she was not the type of person to say that. However, if she is Yeon Hye-rim, it is highly likely that she blurted out the words without being able to distinguish between the front and the back due to her personality.
I took a deep sigh and looked around.
The kids who didn’t know the situation just rolled their eyes with a blank look on their faces, but the older clan members all looked uncomfortable. Even Shin Sang-yong, the nice guy, was showing off an unpleasant light.
We’ll have to find out the details first, but Mercenary has maintained a good relationship with Istantel Row so far. It was not good for Yeon Hye-rim’s unintentional slip of the tongue to cause her clan members to become hostile towards Istantel Row. So, it was a moment when I was wondering how I could get over this situation smoothly.
smart.
“I apologize during the meeting. “Something urgent comes up, so I’ll go in for a moment.”
At that time, an unfamiliar voice was heard and the door began to gently open. The person who opened the door and came in was an employee wearing a maid uniform and a garter belt. She flinched, perhaps surprised by the cold atmosphere in her conference room, but then she cautiously opened her mouth.
“A user has now visited the clan house. “I have a request and am requesting to see the Clan Lord.”

“Hmph. Hehehehehe.”
Clan House on Istantel Row.
Da-yeon Park was sitting at the table in the lounge, humming a song and writing something down. She played with her hands eagerly, occasionally twisting her body to and fro, and then she brought down her quill so hard that it made a clicking sound. She said as she looked up and held her record high in the sky.
“Good. This is perfect. Hehehe.”
“What is perfect?”
Pop!
“Uh, huh?”
It was then. A snorting sound was heard from behind Park Da-yeon, and then someone snatched the record she was holding. Da-yeon Park reflexively waved her hand to grab her record, but her opponent was also holding her record high in the sky.
Park Da-yeon, who had been on tiptoe endlessly, finally made a sighing sound and pouted her lips, as if she had acknowledged that her hand had not reached her. And then, before she knew it, she glared fiercely at Yeon Hye-rim, who was standing in front of her.
“What is it. “When did you come?”
“just now. But what the heck, there’s nothing special about it. You twisted your body so much that I thought it was a love letter. Dear Mercenary Lord. “I had high expectations when I saw this.”
“What is a love letter? This is an invitation to a convocation that will be held soon. “Give it to me.”
“It seemed like that. But there’s no need to send this.”
Yeon Hye-rim waved away the record and shrugged her shoulders.
Eventually, Park Da-yeon, who was walking towards the place where the paper flew, slightly turned her face and asked back.
“why? “Soyoung and her older sister ordered this, but did she give us a cancellation order?”
“Didn’t I tell you? “I told the Mercenary before.”
Then, as if she sensed something strange, Park Da-yeon blinked with a puzzled look on her face.
“ah. You went to Mercenary Clan House last time to see unicorns, right? At that time, the kid named God’s Shield told me about the Mercenary Lord. So I said it then. When Kim Soo-hyun returns, bring the vagabonds and participate in the summons. “I asked you to tell me that.”
“what… . I beg your pardon… ?”
“So, there is no need to send such detailed records. Ho Ho. “Did I do well?”
Yeon Hye-rim raised the corners of her mouth and spoke with a proud voice.
And at that moment, Park Da-yeon’s eyebrows twitched violently, and soon her lips parted significantly.
“Hey you idiot!”
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
