Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 236
I was surprised for a moment by Laika's faster-than-expected movement, and just as I was about to rush out, the talker gave an unexpected command..
"Drop your weapon now!"
At that moment, the thought that passed through my mind was, ‘This bastard is out of his mind and giving orders?’, but the brat corrected my misunderstanding by throwing his weapon on the ground..
If there is a willingness to actively engage in dialogue to this extent, responding is the proper attitude of a civilized person..
"Leica. Stop for a moment."
The timing when he threw away his weapon was truly amazing. Thanks to his bold decision, the situation where Laika was about to bite off the shin of one of the mercenaries did not continue..
As he consistently insisted, Laika listened. He looked at the guy who had stopped 'for a moment' with his mouth wide open to bite the mercenary's shin, and shouted once more at the struggling mercenaries..
"The client deceived us! Drop your weapon!"
As soon as the guys who flinched but couldn't easily put down their weapons heard that the client had betrayed them, their eyes changed and they put down their weapons without hesitation. The loudmouth sighed at the sight, looked at me with a tense face, and asked:.
"Can you stop for a moment with this??"
"pass. Laika, come back."
Anyway, even if it is a modified work, I have the ability to cope with it now. I wonder what they will say by raising the white flag like that..
I retrieved the needle that had been thrown at the archers with a whistle, and Laika also came running towards me, and only then did I heave a sigh of relief..
What happened next was completely unexpected, even to me..
"I asked if it wasn't me?"
"okay. I asked if the target's name was Eldmia, and that motherfucker said..."
Surprisingly, one of the mercenary group's current policies is to withdraw if I am involved. When I heard that it was a guideline that came into existence after the Envelde Mansion incident and that it was a condition that must be checked, my heart was filled with joy as I felt like I was one step closer to achieving my long-held wish..
"Fuck, the adventurer guild leader is worse than a pure dog...."
"That bastard is such a bastard."
When I answer with a sword in my hand, the talker covers his mouth and begins to think seriously. Watching his eyes move constantly, it looks like he's really thinking about a lot, but after throwing away his weapon, the mercenaries behind him just stand there blankly, as if they don't think anything of it, so I feel a sense of disconnection..
Is there a clear distinction between those who think and those who act? Might be a bigger mercenary group than I expected..
"Ha, oh my. I should first apologize, but I was so angry that I lost my senses. I'm really sorry, Eldmia. We had all heard of its popularity in the capital, but we never thought we would see it here.."
"It seems like a very organized mercenary group, but I don't know enough about the information to support them, so I don't have anything to say.."
"Isn’t that what adventurers and mercenaries are all about? If my brother hadn't picked up Envelde's hat, we wouldn't have known about it either.."
"That's right. So, have you organized your thoughts??"
There seemed to be no need to remind me that it was not completely over, but only a brief pause. The loudmouth nodded his head and pointed behind himself..
"Six of our children just died in Mr. Hyung’s attack. They were friends with a daily wage of six silver coins? As an apology, I will give you 20 silver coins for each gold coin, so can you please take a look at this matter??"
I thought they were going to ask me to hand it over, but they said they would hand it over. I don't know if it's the mercenaries' calculations or what, but I like it because it's very cool. If it had been Jeokbanhajang's idiot, he would have eaten it for a long time or killed it all and peeled it and eaten it..
"The amount is sufficient to correct the misunderstanding. Nice to meet you friend."
When I held out my hand to shake hands to conclude the deal, he held my hand with a loud laugh..
"Hey, I'm glad we talked. I'm so glad. I was very scared because the rumors about you were so crazy.."
It was a statement that made me really curious about what kind of rumor it was, but it didn't seem like a particularly good rumor in that it made the mercenaries who said they were a famous mercenary group raise their hands first even though there were casualties, so I just nodded..
"So, can my companions come out now??"
"of course. Now, take the money here... well, this is also a relationship, can I ask you one thing??"
At the same time, the talkative friend who subtly added an extra silver coin was actually a friend who was in the attitude of asking a question. I answered calmly, putting money in my pocket without counting them one by one..
"What?"
"Count Envelde had a pretty famous bastard named Guiche? Did he fight with her too??"
"Gish? I think that was the name of the guy who called himself a demon butcher.."
"Oh, that's him! From the looks of it, there was a fight? how was it? Was it strong??"
"not really? Envelde is much stronger.."
The statement, “Much more,” was exactly right. I answered, recalling already fading memories, and the talker clapped and continued talking..
"also! Our mercenary group was so loud about that! I was talking nonsense with people who said that Envelde was a human who took off Gish's head and that Gish was no good, and with ignorant people who said that Envelde was all old and lost his teeth and that Gish was stronger.!"
"If you try to mix the knife yourself with your teeth falling out, you will cut your head in two and fall asleep. Are you okay with your mercenary group??"
"Hahaha! It's okay, it's okay! Those who eat cutlery are learning by doing so! If you can't learn, you'll fail.!"
indeed. As a mercenary who makes a living by killing, he reacts warmly, like a friend of ten years, without any resistance even though six of his colleagues have just died. Well, it's better for me because it's a hundred times better than rolling your eyes with vague hostility..
"When was the last time you received a request from the guild leader? Is that guy still in the guild??"
"well? Has it been about three hours? It was a very urgent request that we received while we were drinking.."
The group of people who slowly came out at the gesture of my hand remained silent, looking at me and me talking warmly, as if we were close friends, with puzzled eyes. Fortunately, in order to avoid any misunderstanding, the mercenaries pushed the weapons aside without even picking them up with their feet and began to collect the bodies of their dead colleagues. I watched them for a moment and then asked the talker one last question..
"What did that bastard ask for??"
"There is a bastard who has undermined my authority, so he wants me to kill him if he comes out of the waterway alive. If they don't come out for a certain period of time, they even ask you to check if they're dead inside. We made a deal where we would get half the compensation in advance and all the loot we got from you would be ours.."
"This guy is really behind."
At my sincere reaction, the talker giggled and moved to the side..
"I'm going to be busy, but I won't hold on to it any longer. My name is Valakia of the Blue Owl Mercenaries. If I get a chance to see you again, I'll buy you a drink."
"Then I bought it too."
He didn't say he was sorry for the people he killed. Not only was I not sorry, but if there had been no misunderstanding, we would have struggled to kill each other anyway..
Lellier asked me a question with a strange look on my face as I left the entrance to the waterway and came out onto the main street of the city, leaving behind the talkative Balakia and his companions who had seen me off with a smile..
"Mr. Ega? What on earth were you doing that made the Blue Owl mercenaries fall out first??"
"Now that you’ve come here again? Now everyone in the capital knows what my nickname is.."
"No, I thought that was a bit of an exaggeration and accepted it. It's not common for a mercenary group to retreat first.?"
Ultimately, I don't think it's wrong to say that it's a job that makes a living based on pride and reputation. But since I don't know much about myself, it's very difficult for me to tell you exactly what's true and what's old..
"It seems like he definitely did something that could be called a guillotine. I don't know about the rest because there are so many rumors.."
"...Huh."
Don't look at me like that. Because I didn't know that in my life after my previous life, I would be cutting down more people than monsters..
◈
After an unexpectedly amicable relationship with the mercenary group that almost caused such a big conflict, I split up from my group and headed to the guild alone. To be precise, there was a Laika following along, bopping along, but everyone was taking a rest at the inn..
Cutting off the guild leader's head is a foregone conclusion, so staying with him for no reason would only be a pain in the ass. I can't harm my co-workers with my personal life..
"Leica. Whatever you do, you must remain still until I tell you to do so.?"
[okay! Listen carefully to Leica.!]
Yes, I heard it well. After patting Laika on the head in front of the guild, I stood up and kicked the guild door as hard as I could..
-Kwaang!
I used my magic power with all my might. In order to avoid being hit by a gate that returns like a swing door due to its strong hinges, like in the last Envelde mansion..
The result of overlooking the fact that it was an iron door back then and a wooden door now was a bit disastrous. The wooden door shattered and scattered as if it had been hit by a cannon ball..
"Wow!?"
"What's going on??!"
"What's going on, you bastards? It's your guild leader's job to make a mess.."
It was a result that exceeded expectations, but it wasn't bad since I was able to crush it comfortably. After looking around for a moment, with the gazes of adventurers and guild staff all pouring in on me, I drew my sword and asked:.
"Where is the guild leader?."
"Oh, this is going too far! where is this..."
"The moment that fucking bastard sent the mercenary to kill me, I passed it by. If you don’t want to be beaten, call the guild leader.."
As I checked the receptionist who was trying to jump forward by flicking his blade, the guy started backing away at a much faster pace than when he tried to come forward..
Unrelated adventurers began to watch with interest, wondering what was going on, but it was really annoying to see the guild members, who were supposed to move quickly, not even moving. I looked around to see if Kunz was there, but I couldn't see him doing anything else..
"Don't you bring it? Are you all lying to me??"
"Hey, look. What do you mean? The guild leader hired a mercenary to kill you...."
"Even if you ask me exactly what I said, the only thing that will come out is blood that will come out of the throat of the bastard who chews my words and asks questions. Stop the damn thing and bring the guild leader. Before I go up and destroy this place."
Fortunately, I liked the actions of the second guy. He turned around in an instant and stood cross-legged for about two minutes waiting for the guy who ran up to the second floor..
The guy who came back became thoughtful and opened his mouth..
"Well, you're not there.."
"Let’s go?"
"Well, there really isn’t! Even the office is a mess, as if someone ran away at night...."
Before I could finish speaking, I pushed him away and went up to the second floor, but there was no one to stop me. But I had no time to like that reaction, I had to feel the anger rising from deep inside..
As I walked forward and entered what was expected to be the guild leader's office, what I saw was a safe that was open and all kinds of drawers in a mess, and the meaning of that was very obvious..
"Fuck you..."
Gronzel, this world's bastard has jumped out..
