I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 270
270fury
For some reason, I feel much more uncomfortable now than when I was persecuted in large numbers by Heros..
When I asked why, I found a surprisingly simple answer... … . It's probably because there was no clear reason for these guys' malice..
Those who laugh to ridicule, ridicule to ridicule, hate to hate.
I hate people like this. It's because they don't think even though their brains are fine..
Jeopuk.
As I deliberately made the sound of footsteps, the crowd's attention immediately turned to me..
“Uh, Nari?”
Among them was Ramon's gaze..
I grabbed Ramon's shoulders and helped him up, who looked particularly shabby due to being isolated..
“Senior, why is it so light? Did you starve for breakfast??”
“…….”
Ramon's face turned red again..
It's strange..
It's not Ramon who should be ashamed now, but those who surround them..
But I deliberately closed my mouth without saying anything else..
Whatever the reason, it would not be very pleasant to see a senior person kneeling to a newcomer..
The guy who stepped on Ramon's head pointed at me and asked,.
“who are you? It doesn't look like a different race..”
I grabbed the finger of the guy who was asking the stupid question, but the guy started shaking and glared at me..
“what are you doing now…….”
“Have you ever broken a finger??”
“what?”
“It's more uncomfortable than I thought. It will take a long time to fully heal, and since you have an office job, you will probably not be comfortable holding a pen for a while..”
“What are you talking about-.”
A desperate scream rang out along with a popping sound..
“It seems like you've barely turned 30, but you're in a lot of pain..”
Maybe it's not a big deal.
This is because people who are not unmanned basically do not have tolerance for pain..
For this reason, I did not want to start a conflict with someone who had not studied martial arts..
I have no intention of fighting unless there is an overt argument..
The same goes for breaking your fingers like this. It tastes sour rather than refreshing..
I plan to endure it for now..
These guys were rude first, and they should pay for it..
“What kind of rudeness is this?……!”
“What are you doing??!”
But it seems like people over there think I've been rude..
On the other hand, I saw him rolling his eyes and spitting..
“lily…….”
I tapped Ramon on the shoulder..
It means don't worry, but I'm not sure if I understand it correctly..
Anyway, among the people surrounding me, there were a few talented people who seemed to be escorts, but even so, they were lower than C-level heroes..
It means that I can organize everything on my own in just one yawn..
“It makes sense that noblemen belonging to the merchant guild have such no business morals.?”
“what?”
“The old man is right. They say that a top-class merchant calculates profit and loss first, even if he deals with an enemy..”
Zeros Silver, classmate of the retreat.
That's what I heard while talking to that guy when I came to the island..
“But what are you guys? Tefer is a large city, and the merchant guild that has a branch there cannot distinguish between public and private.?”
At this time, a man appeared beyond the reception desk with a new voice..
“The young hero has a sharp edge in his words..”
“…….”
From my biased perspective, he had the appearance of a typical merchant..
He was fat, half bald, and even wore glasses..
“Are you?”
“I am the branch leader of this guild..”
If you are a branch leader of a merchant guild, you are probably a veteran who has overcome many hardships..
How many times have you made deals where one wrong step would have resulted in you losing everything?.
Perhaps because he was a person who had gone through a lot of trouble in his own way, his eyes were definitely different. she was fat.
In any case, the branch chief of a city like Tefer was a person that even the most noble would find difficult to treat, regardless of his wealth or reputation.…….
I didn't feel like speaking up to the people in this guild, so I just nodded..
Are you sure you are the branch manager??
This fat man still treated me with an ambiguous smile despite my rudeness..
“White blonde hair and purple eyes. And a strangely shaped sword… … . Perhaps you are Luan Badniker, the golden fairy who has recently become famous after winning a series of battles against the fierce men of Heros??”
“…….”
It's definitely a merchant guild..
Moreover, perhaps because he is the branch manager, he gets the news quickly. Although fat.
but. It's been a while since we've been to Tefer, so it's time for the rumor to spread..
I had no intention of responding this time, so I nodded and recalled a somewhat odd memory..
That's what Sanghyeolgong said in the draft..
‘I told you to create a virtual identity or two..’
Now I know why.
Fame.
At first glance, making a name for yourself may seem attractive, but in reality, it is not so..
If we are currently in a war, a name with added fame has high value in itself, and sometimes its mere presence can change the course of the war.…….
The fight against the religious denomination is usually a secret fight..
If this were a war, it would be a war, but it would not be fought in the middle of the battlefield, with one side sometimes attacking and sometimes defending..
So fame is a burden.
It's no different from walking around with a torch through a forest in the middle of the night filled with enemies..
Fame warmly embraces me like a flame, embraces me and relieves my tension.…….
Because of that fire, the enemy in the dark can accurately find me..
“It's nice to meet the renowned Gold Fairy. Then, let me introduce myself formally. Haimero, head of the Tefer branch..”
“Yes, branch manager Nari. Can I ask you something first??”
The man looked three times older than me, but I deliberately maintained an informal tone..
Still, this man had a calm face without breaking his composure. fat topic.
“tell me.”
“Why is employee training so important??”
“…….”
“Even though I heard it halfway through, it was so insulting that it made me angry. Even though I explained my personal circumstances, he laughed, sarcastically, and changed what he said... … . I'm still a kid so I don't know much about business, but don't all those who belong to the merchant guild do business on credit? What are you going to do in the future if even basic carriage rental makes this much noise?.”
Heimer looked into my eyes..
The eyes were like millet buried in flesh, but somehow I felt a sense of anticipation..
Hymer thought for a moment and said.
“…There seems to have been some mistake. I apologize for their rudeness..”
“…….”
It was an attitude of obediently admitting a mistake, but I was more angry at this behavior..
It was because I felt that Hymer bowed his head because of my reputation and background..
Out of anger, I wanted to overthrow this merchant guild itself, but since they wouldn't bite even if I openly provoked them, there was no reason to argue any further..
Wow!
However, I was still able to at least slap the guy who was glaring at me with his eyes wide open..
“Why are your eyes like this? It looks like your subordinate doesn't want to apologize.?”
“…Galon, what rudeness are you talking about now? Please apologize right away.”
Then the guy with red cheeks bowed his head to me..
“…sorry.”
A voice filled with anger.
the sea I hoped for.
I said with a grin..
“This just won't work.”
“yes?”
“The senior was even more stern than that. Kneel down, as if you were bowing..”
“…….”
The guy named Galon bit his lip, probably because he was quite proud, but when Hymer, who was standing behind him, poked him in the back, he was startled and fell to his knees..
“I'm really sorry. Please forgive my rudeness. I won't make that mistake again.”
“senior.”
“Yes, yep?”
“Step on this guy’s head.”
“……!”
Galon's body trembled as he hit his head.…….
Ramon was also startled and looked at me with a puzzled look on his face..
I was rather puzzled and asked.
“why? I have to pay back what I received..”
“Well, I'm fine..”
“okay? okay.”
I expected this reaction too.
I approached Galon, who was probably relieved, and then gently stepped on his head..
“Did you say garlic??”
“That's right.”
“The back of your head is flat. It's perfect to step on. How do my shoes feel? I bought a new one because I was going north..”
“…….”
“Young man, act like a gentleman.”
He may still be older than me, but I said that on purpose to this immature guy..
“…yes.”
Is it anger or shame?.
Anyway, after hearing the answer in a trembling voice, I took my steps away..
Then he looked at the branch manager and said.
“ruler. Now let's talk about compensation..”
“what reward?”
“That is compensation for psychological damage. You're not going to be scolded for hitting that weak guy a few times.?”
Then the branch manager's face cracked for the first time..
I felt like there was no harm in using informal language consistently, so I deliberately changed it to polite language, but this may also be effective.…….
Or maybe my ridiculous suggestion just crossed the line..
“What more do you want than this??”
“Since I decided to rent a carriage in the first place, I have to stick to the contract. Give me a carriage. For free. The form is purchase, not rental. And it's bigger, better, and, at any rate, more expensive than before. ah. I will pay. As stated in the contract.”
“under.”
The branch manager looked at me with a distorted face..
“Are you going to buy a carriage with the rental price now? A much better product than that?”
“yes.”
“How nonsense are you talking now?…….”
“What is this nonsense? If you try to unilaterally break the deal and it falls through, you will have to suffer a loss..”
“What if I don't follow??”
“I'd like to tell you something..”
The branch manager twisted his mouth into a sneer..
“To whom? To Iron Blood Ball?”
“no? I'm going to tell this to Director Heros.?”
“what?”
I also sneered and said.
“Tefer. The fact that you opened a guild branch in this city means that you have a very close relationship with the director, right? 'Cause he's practically the lord of this place.”
From what I saw in person, it seemed like the silver-haired man next to me, Jerome, was handling business-related matters..
I said deliberately in a flirtatious way..
“You may not know it, but you proved trustworthy for a long time to open a store here, right? I have traded a lot, and I want to trade a lot in the future. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to proudly open a branch in this yolk land..”
“…….”
“By the way. What would happen if you found out that the business partner you trusted broke the contract simply because of emotional issues??”
I continued speaking while looking at the branch manager with a stern complexion..
“Well, the deal won't be broken right away. However, the general manager I met is a very strict and thorough person, so he might consider opening a deal with another company. Because you can't continue to trust a partner whose emotions take precedence over profits and losses..”
After saying that, I glanced behind my shoulder and called Ramon..
“senior?”
“Yes, yep?”
“I have the carriage rental certificate and contract documents.?”
“Oh, of course.”
I believed so.
Ramon was the one who drew up a strict contract for us as well..
Probably the only executive member of Corrupted.
There is no way such a person would have forgotten the mutual contract he signed with the merchant guild..
Perhaps the reason they distributed the documents to both sides was because they knew that even if they had the documents, there was nothing they could do about Ramon, who was of a different race..
But what can I do??
The value of a weapon varies depending on who is holding it in the hand..
“At best, there is no way a B-class hero could stand alone with the head of the headquarters.…….”
Phew. I laughed.
I shook my head and that's all I could think of.?
“Does it just look like a B grade? I? really? really? This gold fairy?”
…pestilence.
“What else is there??”
“This is Vigilante, who was directly appointed by the former head of the headquarters. He is the next generation hero that he believes in, trusts, and expects..”
“Vigilante? under… … ! Then show me your hero card..”
“Why the hero plaque??”
“If you are a real Vigilante, you will have an owl symbol engraved on the back of your hero badge..”
The branch manager looked at me and laughed as if he had regained his strength..
“Didn't you know that? But impersonating Vigilante... … . Since he's a new hero, he doesn't seem to be afraid of the laws of Heros..”
I did?
It was my first time hearing this..
I received a B-class hero plaque, but I never checked the back..
Once I took it out and checked it,.
“ah. This is it?”
There really was an owl pattern.…….
“…….”
The branch manager was dumbfounded and looked at me..
* * *
“Wow, that was awesome! lily! No way, you can't even roast those strict and mean-spirited people with words! Thanks to you, I was able to rent all these wonderful carriages! It's my first time riding a quad carriage.!”
“I received it, not rented it. And it's all thanks to my senior taking care of the documents. It's a good thing she's a meticulous person..”
“uh… Why are you polite again? You can speak comfortably..”
“hmm. Then I'll mix it up. With a semi-respectful feeling.”
“yes!”
I grinned, then suddenly turned around for a moment and saw the merchant guild signboard again..
That tacky gold coin pattern.
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before..
As I narrowed my eyes, I soon realized where I had seen it..
“…ah~.”
“why are you like that?”
“it's nothing. let's go.”
“yep! Then I will get the carriage.!”
I looked at Ramon running excitedly and rummaged through his arms..
A dagger I received from one of my brothers in the Islands. There was a pattern drawn at the end that could be seen as gold or gold coins..
“It looked strangely familiar.”
close.
I was standing alone, giggling like a crazy person..
* * *
The merchant guild that Luan and Ramon left.
Heimer said, tapping Galon's shoulder when he called him into his office..
“I cursed you.”
“…yes.”
“Are your fingers okay? Should I at least use a potion?.”
“it's okay. More than that, branch manager, I don’t understand it at all. Why on earth do we have to be humiliated like this by such a dirty cross-species bastard?…….”
“There is no choice. Badknicker's Gold Fairy. He seemed more like a person of interest than I thought. Not only is he strong in arms, but his tongue is also smooth and cunning.…….”
“…So, what are you going to do now??”
Galon knew that Hymer wouldn't let this go..
That's because the man in front of me is a merchant who hates other races more than any other person..
“Don't worry. 'Cause they'll pay the price.”
“Would it be okay? The opponent is Badknicker..”
“In any case, the Iron and Blood Balls can't pressure us without justification. Because he is a person who knows how to distinguish between public and private life... … . Besides, his cause is still with us. You know this, right? That disgusting cross-species clan, the Corrupted, already owes our company a huge amount of money.…….”
Galon's face brightened..
“Those words are…….”
“You should use the contract as much as possible. Now they will know. How terrible it is to owe money to a merchant. also…….”
Haimer twisted the corners of his plump mouth..
“In this empire, what happens if we fight against [Xyren Company]?.”
