Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 262
262fury
By the time I finished three plates of steak and had two glasses of apple juice.…….
Verita and Ramon seemed to have finished revising their application forms to some extent..
“Here it is! Brother. Please sign..”
Berita handed out her application form with a bright smile on her face. It seems like she was lying about how angry she was just now..
I don't know if he was really angry or if it was just a bluff for negotiation..
“It's all over?”
“That's right. To be honest, no matter which clan you join, you will receive at least three times more support than this, but... … . I think I like this place, so there’s nothing I can do about it..”
Instead, we took advantage of every possible advantage! do… Verita added with her bright face.
On the other hand, Goblin Ramon muttered with a face covered in white ashes..
“Oh, I never thought he would be like this.…….”
Lanferro, who was also drinking apple juice, saw this and laughed..
“So you said it? I'm not an ordinary person.”
“Ugh… … . Whose side are you on??”
“It's not your brother, it's the boss.”
“Either that or… … . In any case, everything I had saved up for a living was torn away. What should I do right now to purchase supplies, repair equipment, pay for food, and water bills for next month?…….”
I tilted my head and asked.
“I feel like I'm very stressed out. Is there a reason??”
“This is why…….”
Lanferro was lost in thought with his eyes far away, so he couldn't help but look at Ramon..
This little goblin sighed and said,.
“Is there any other reason why you feel stressed? Since there is no work, it is difficult. There are people in the clan who haven't been able to get a single job for several months and are wasting food, and that doesn't mean the money they pay out every month is decreasing... … . Ugh.”
“…….”
“…I'm sorry for playing around with your sign-up letter. Still, I want you to know that this side is desperate too..”
From what I've heard, it seems like Corrupted is absolutely short of money..
Still, this is a place that will be my base of activity for the time being, but seeing it in such dire straits over and over again makes me worried..
For a moment, I thought about sponsoring it with my own money, but it is not an easy matter to think about..
This is because I have not yet figured out what clan Corrupted is..
If they are a group that is more pathetic than I can imagine, no matter how much we support them, it will only be like pouring water into a bottomless pit..
“Now that I think about it, how does a hero receive his mission??”
“You can receive it from the Heros headquarters, or from a branch that has the qualifications to broker a request... … . Although the former is more difficult, there are many valuable requests. It’s not for nothing that people flock to Tefer..”
“Eh? So now is not your chance? You made it all the way to headquarters..”
“That's right, but…….”
As Lanfero scratched his cheek in embarrassment, Ramon next to him spoke instead..
“… Every clan and every hero is eligible to receive a request. And the compensation is high, it is worthy of performance, or the compensation is good for the time... … . Such honey requests usually lead to competition between clans..”
“compete?”
“To put it simply, when multiple clans bid on a request at the same time, the client chooses one of them..”
“aha…….”
It was only then that I realized why Corrupted was in such dire straits..
If we move into that kind of competitive environment, the Corrupted clan, which is a clan of a different race, has no chance of winning..
“You said you met Jack last night, right? Like [Frostel], we are in a situation where the majority of clans have their backs firmly planted. If you try to get a decent request, they come running at you like crazy bastards.?”
“aha.”
“So, let alone good requests, I can't even dream of ordinary requests. Cleaning drains, collecting herbs, getting rid of gutters, weeding, snow removal, etc., which others avoid... … . Well, I make a living by receiving requests from time to time..”
“Uh huh. Something like that. If we hadn't had that request, we would all have starved to death..”
Lanfero interjected in a calm voice..
I was also taken aback by the clan's behavior, which was more miserable than I expected..
‘The things I just mentioned are chores I used to do when I was a D-class mercenary.…….’
I can't believe people who are like heroes are doing something like that... … . In fact, isn't he no different from a low-level mercenary?.
Of course it can't be helped.
By heterogeneous races, I would be referring to orcs, goblins, lizardmen, etc.…….
Even if I were a client, I don't think I would give priority to those guys..
Even if you have an excellent track record, you will think about it for a long time, but if much more reliable, excellent, and proven clans flock in, you will naturally leave it to someone else..
“…Still, since the Heroes Headquarters quests are much more diverse, I thought we might be able to do our part, but damn. In fact, because the checks were much stricter, I couldn't even see any useful requests..”
“is it so? Where do I get requests??”
“There is a reception desk on the first floor of the Heros main building, and there… what? Let’s go see for yourself.?”
Ramon looked up at me without speaking..
I nodded and said.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to receive it now that you’ve come all the way to the headquarters? It seems like it would be hard to come all the way here to get compensation..”
“It's okay because you can receive most rewards by mail. Aside from that, I think you'll be wasting your efforts.…….”
“no way. You have to tell me what's long and short to know..”
I finished signing and then stood up..
“Because I am now corrupted. As the youngest child, I would like to ask you about a mistake you made..”
“Well, there is such a thing as beginner's luck, so give it a try. There's still time before departure anyway..”
“ah. And if I pass The Origin this time, a guy named Mir will also join. It's a great family, and they're pretty strong, so it won't be a burden..”
Lanfero nodded at my words..
“You mean the blue-haired kid who was active in the battle yesterday? okay.”
“When exactly is the departure??”
“Around 10 a.m. two days later? Location: Tefer North Gate.”
“All right.”
Still, I left the store with the thought that I had two days to spare so I could ask for at least one good request..
Of course, I didn't forget to pay before leaving..
“Uh, I can do the math.…….”
“You don't have money.”
“Well, I have enough to calculate this.?”
Lanferro said and shook his wrinkled leather pouch..
Surprisingly there was no sound.
“That's it, let's have a big welcome party later. boss.”
“boss……?”
Lanfero's ears seemed to perk up at the mention of boss, but Verita and I had already left the store. A low voice was heard beyond the door..
“I think that guy is a good guy. I got the feeling right.”
“…Iknow, right. I should order another bowl of steak.”
“Ugh. You bastard.”
* * *
After heading to Heros with Verita, I found a place called the reception desk..
Although the first floor of the main building was spacious, it was not difficult to find Verita because it was there..
‘It's neat..’
What I was thinking was that it felt like a mercenary guild. In a noisy lounge that is no different from a bar, the world's pathetic guys who drink alcohol during the day are spread out like trash.…….
Among them, some who claim that I am different are bragging, holding their weight, polishing their swords or drinking alone in a corner..
And there are a lot of request forms on the bulletin board on one side of the lounge..
A mercenary who wants a request goes through the list and picks out the ones that fit his level..
Of course, if you choose a request that exceeds your abilities, you will be laughed at, so you have to choose wisely..
In other words, a veteran mercenary's knowledge includes an eye for selecting requests that fit his or her topic..
On the other hand, what should I say about the atmosphere at Heros’ reception desk?.
It feels much more organized and clean.?
“welcome! What brought you here??”
The young lady sitting at the reception desk smiled brightly and spoke with a cheerful tone and voice that you would never see in a mercenary guild..
“I want to receive a request.”
“okay! What's your name?”
“Luan Badniker.”
“This is Rasbet.”
The receptionist checked the documents and nodded..
“Razbet has been confirmed. It appears that Gold Fairy's personal information has not been registered yet. Is this your first time receiving a request from headquarters??”
…This is Rasbet, but why am I a gold fairy??
If you're going to call me by your real name, call me by your real name, and if I'm going to call you by a second name, call me by a second name..
I was a little offended, but I responded without showing it..
“…It's not the headquarters, but the request itself is my first time..”
“That's right! Then, first, please fill out your brief personal information and we will help you select your request.!”
“I also have a few changes this time. I think some items need to be modified.”
“oh. If you do that, I'll give you two..”
While saying that, the receptionist handed us each a document..
I thought this was definitely a different place from the mercenaries. Of course, there were many dark-eyed among the mercenaries..
Name, age, nickname, hero level, clan affiliation, special skills, etc. written on the paper received..
I wrote it down roughly and then gave it back..
After completing the confirmation, the lady at the reception nodded and said..
“Has confirmed. The quests you two can currently receive are 1 grade A, 6 grade B, 37 grade C, and 12 grade D..”
“Ohh…….”
There are more than I thought?
“Please only show me A-level and B-level missions..”
“yes! Here it is!”
The work was done incredibly quickly..
I left behind the receptionist who quickly handed me several documents and sat down in an appropriate seat in the lounge..
Then a boy who looked like a store clerk came up to me and even gave me something to drink..
‘The treatment is definitely very good..’
Basically, room and board are free, and even if you become a D-class hero, you won't starve to death..
“Can I see it??”
Verita said while looking at the list of B-class missions and I nodded..
“okay. ah. Can I watch the A-level mission??”
“of course.”
Verita carefully looked at the six-page B-class request form..
I knew for sure from how he had handled things earlier that this guy had a surprisingly meticulous personality, so I didn't have any objections..
In the meantime, I looked into A-level missions..
First of all, Verita and I are both B-rank, so I was wondering how we could be assigned an A-rank mission... After reading the content, I understood..
It was a group mission from the beginning..
There are a total of 30 people, and the hero who will actually lead the quest has already been decided..
Surprisingly, he was someone who knew.
S-Class Hero Feed Albero.
‘what… It's going to be hard for me to get in here since I'm corrupted..’
That's the moment I think about it.
“Are you interested in that request??”
It wasn't a familiar voice, but it was a voice I heard once..
So, the voice I heard just yesterday.
When I turned my back, I saw the Cheonpung Knight feed..
“Wow.”
That person can't be a nobleman either..
I sighed naturally.
I heard they were going to keep things in check, but I had no idea that an S-class hero would appear as soon as I received the request..
Then the feed smiled bitterly..
“There seems to be some misunderstanding..”
“I'm mistaken?”
“You don’t have to stare like that. I have no intention of being hostile towards you for the time being..”
“Are you sure you believe that? Not even a day has passed since I got beaten up by you guys..”
“That too. But what I say is true.”
Come to think of it, my tone and attitude are quite different from yesterday..
The feed said in a calm tone..
“Today we have come to reveal our position to you. The reason I came as your representative was to show respect to you in my own way..”
Is it because he’s an S-class hero??
It certainly attracted a lot more attention than when Jack or Peter Fang came. To put it in a bad way, it's borderline.
The moment I thought about hearing the story, someone who would never be comfortable with this situation intervened..
“Are you telling me to believe that now??”
Verita said with a grin..
Naturally, the feed's gaze turned to Verita..
“This is the nun who said some pretty harsh things last night. Let’s pretend that rudeness never happened.”
“well. Who committed the rudeness?…….”
“I'm not talking to you. I'd like you to understand the atmosphere..”
“…So you really don't know who can't understand the mood??”
For some reason, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be heating up again, so I gave Verita a look telling her to stay still for a moment..
“…….”
Verita still didn't let go of her hostility, but for now, she withdrew her gaze and looked at the request again..
The feed spoke again.
“… First of all, thank you for what happened last night. If you hadn't intervened, it wouldn't have been surprising if a slaughter had broken out on the spot..”
“Well, until the slaughter. The head of the family must have been particularly threatening just to take the lead..”
“well… … . I don’t think so, seeing as they even called me by my real name..”
“…….”
“Anyway, this isn't just my opinion. All the heads of the large clans that joined yesterday have the same thoughts. Since he is a hero, Eun-won must definitely find a solution... … . We decided not to mess with Corrupted for the time being..”
“Don't touch me?”
“okay. Of course, there are still quite a few people who do not agree. Half of the clans that weren't there last night were against it. And just because you don't touch it, your treatment will not change radically right away. Everything will happen gradually.”
“hmm.”
“At least when you are a member of the Corrupted, the number of unreasonable things will be greatly reduced. Please understand that this is the most we can compromise. So do I, and so does the rest. It's still difficult for me to fully accept Corrupted mentally..”
“…….”
After learning about the situation, I could understand their position to some extent..
In particular, the feed in front of me and Jack, who spoke as a representative yesterday, seemed to have noble bloodlines at first glance.…….
To these people, other races are lower beings than slaves, and more than that, they are a potential threat..
[I guess it feels like my pride is being tainted just by the existence of something called a “different race clan.”.
In that case, as the feed said, it is true that they made the maximum concession they could..
“Let's do that. Still, I think it would be better for both of us not to get involved for a while..”
“I agree to some extent. However, we Cheonik people always repay the debt. If you ever visit our shrine, say my name.”
“…….”
surprised.
When it comes to the sacred site of the Heavenly Wing tribe, it probably refers to [Mt. Morun], the highest peak of the empire.…….
As with most of the seven tribes' sacred sites, most people are not allowed to enter..
This is because, in terms of the empire, it is a place no different from the imperial castle..
If access to such a place can be unilaterally permitted, the identity of the feed can also be clearly guessed..
“…It's now a ticket to places I might stop by at any time. If you're going to help me, please help me with something else..”
“Other?”
I remembered the Yeonggeol match that took place yesterday..
It was really tough, but I gained a lot from it..
According to the teacher's long-held theory, martial arts grow explosively when they collide with their opponents..
Peter Fang was quite strong, but it was the man in front of me who inspired me the most..
“Please lend me your day, senior..”
“……?”
“Let's spar.”
