A petition from 54 adventurers
“We are leaving!”
After waking up early in the morning and having a hearty meal as the innkeeper boasted, Hyeon-jun went straight to find a carriage heading to the Red Forest Village and got on it. While getting 5 fairy tales and eating them, the horse is old and slowly crawls on the wagon to move the straw. It was heartbreaking, but it was better than walking, so everyone got into the carriage while swearing.
“Are you adventurous too?”
“If you’re not an adventurer, what are you?”
“I thought you were a soldier because you were so well dressed.”
“Do you sleep when you have nothing to do?”
“It’s rough. Let’s make it good for our partners.”
A young man who thought he might have just turned 20 spoke to Hyeon-jun with a smile. At the same time, he started talking nonsense, so Hyeon-jun also just let go. If adventurers talk to each other and one of them speaks plain language, all of them are just talking in plain language. As long as there is no obvious difference in skill and position, they are all passed over like that. And even if there is a difference, unless you are a person with a lot of personality problems, you just speak plainly to each other. There are very few crazy people who insist on saying respectful things to adventurers.
“Where are you from?”
“Scanden. you?”
“I am Taksistovac.”
“It’s not Taxis, but it must be a native of Taxis territory.”
“Ah, is it Taxis? I can’t believe this.”
At first glance, he looked like a country boy, but Hyeon-joon said after he stopped reciting that he was from the city.
“I am Kang Hyun-joon. Call me Jun.”
“knife. This is also related, how is it? What do you want to do together?”
“well. report.”
“Ah, it’s very expensive just because you wear it well.”
“hmm···. Are you good at skinning?”
“Ha, is there anyone who can’t do that? Of course you do well!”
“okay. because i can’t If I kill you, skin yourself. Let’s make it 8-2.”
“Hey! Are you Sandy? What did you do without taking off your skin until you got older? 8 to 2 was too much. There is no such thing as a complete robbery.”
“Where did a city native get so many skins off?”
“Well, I’m trying to do everything while doing this and that.”
Carl mumbled, trying to get over it. Hyunjoon smiled and held out his hand. Carl also grinned and took her hand.
“If you teach me how to skin, I’ll give you all the fish I caught that day. how is it?”
“Are you giving me everything? You want to go alone?”
“then?”
“Of course we have to bring people together. didn’t you hear There are also dead ones.”
“It’s fine if you don’t. Find someone else.”
“Write. Are you confident in your skills?”
“Then would you have come alone without yourself? Rather, how did a guy who is not confident in his skills have the courage to come alone?”
“You can go and find people to play with.”
“If you can’t find it, just go back?”
“Ah, I won’t lose once.”
“What do you think is pretty?”
“Well, if you’re confident, let’s try it. Instead, I want to see you kill one guy.”
“okay. Prepare to be skinned.”
Hyeonjun quite liked the knife. He was friendly and looked quite good compared to his age. I lifted a spear, but I also lifted a large shield. Seeing him wearing a helmet and Gambison, he is at least a guy who knows how to fight. At least I don’t think I’ll be in the way of acting like an idiot.
“Jun, so what’s your grade? D-class enough to go alone? Or C-class?”
“Class E.”
“what?”
At those words, the other people in the carriage also glanced at Hyeon-jun. An iron breastplate, gauntlets, and a cloth wrapped but definitely a snake brace. In addition, he even wore a longsword, but he was E-class? The impatient ones have already started thinking about how to peel them off.
“It’s been over 15 days since I became an adventurer.”
“Huh…”
At that, everyone averted their eyes. It is impossible unless you have a back stomach or the ability to stand fairly close. There’s no way you’d be an adventurer if you had a back stomach, so it must mean that you have that much skill.
“Is that lie real?”
“If you’re curious, can I show you how I became E-class?”
“It’s a joke, a joke. I can’t speak because I’m afraid.”
When Hyeon-Jun spoke while revealing his teeth, Carl smiled awkwardly and bit his body. I stabbed it once, but the momentum is sharp like a knife. It’s so terrifying that even a kid can understand it. In this world, if you look down on them, those who want to slap you on the back and eat them will attack you with a lick of their lips. Hyeon-joon, who instantly took control of the atmosphere with a single word, made the other adventurers busy looking at the surrounding scenery. There are also people who look at Carl as if they are envious. If there is a guy with skills, there is also a congomul that falls. It would be painful to see him taking it all by himself with both eyes open.
“It’s good if you have the skills. Let’s do well.”
“It’s only one day to teach you how to skin. Well, if you do well, we can go together a little more.”
“Wow, she’s not a picky girl, she’s really scary.”
“Be careful. A girl I know twists iron with her bare hands.”
“I’m scared to death.”
Carl was a talkative guy, so it wasn’t boring during the trip to the Red Forest Village. However, the moment I showed my ID to the guards at the entrance of Red Forest Village, something happened that caught my mood right away.

“Keuheum, that looks a bit suspicious. Go back.”
The guard grabbed the adventurer who handed him a fairy tale and pushed him back. No matter how much you act like a dog, adventurers enter the village, and if it’s just one fairy tale, they’ll just let you go. Hyeon-jun shoved people away and stood right in front of the guards.
“What, what?”
“ID.”
Hyeon-joon shoved his ID card right in front of him and walked right past him.
“for a moment!”
“what? Any complaints?”
Hyeonjun turned around and strode in front of the guard and looked down at him. Hyunjun is taller than 180cm. In addition, he is equipped with proper armament, and when he sets the mood, his momentum is ferocious like a tiger. The rural guard, who failed to eat a well-balanced meal, was barely over 160 cm tall, but when Hyeon-jun stood in front of him, he hesitated and didn’t say anything.
“If you don’t have any complaints, do what you have to do.”
Hyeon-jun left a word and strode into the village. Not missing this opportunity, Carl quickly waved his ID card in front of him and followed Hyeon-jun in. In this situation, there will be no idiots handing out fairy tales. The adventurers scoffed at the guard, waving their identification cards in front of him and rushing in. The guards shuddered with shame, but were so frightened by Hyeon-jun’s spirit that they couldn’t move.
“ha ha ha! June! That’s cool!”
“okay.”
Hyeon-jun calmly walked down the street and looked around. Then, in an alley, he found a child glancing outside, strode closer to him, and threw a fairy tale. The child quickly took the fairy tale and hid it in his bosom. Then he looked carefully at Hyunjoon’s eyes.
“Take me to the best inn. If you like it, I’ll give you another one.”
The child nodded and took the lead and started walking.
“Hey, do you have a lot of money?”
“It’s much more useful than giving it to a guard.”
“That’s right.”
The child glanced behind him, but continued walking and stopped in front of a building. It is not an inn. It is a rather shabby and small two-story house. As Hyeon-jun raised one eyebrow, the child said urgently.
“Everyone said my mother’s cooking was delicious!”
“this.”
Carl sighed and touched his forehead. Hyunjoon stared at the child. My eyes trembled as if I was nervous, and I gulped down my saliva. Hyunjoon thought for a moment, then nodded.
“Let’s see you once.”
“Well, okay.”
Carl also shrugged his shoulders at Hyeonjun’s decision. There are many things that fall apart just by being next to Hyeonjun. Didn’t you already receive and eat the fallen honey at the entrance of the village?
“mom!”
The child opened the door and ran inside. Soon after, a young-looking woman came out and, surprised to see Hyeon-jun and Carl, hid the child behind her back.
“I asked for an inn, so he came here.”
When Hyeon-jun smiled and said, the woman seemed to be a little relieved and said with a smile.
“Guests are welcome. Come inside.”
Upon entering, you will be relieved by the small but cozy atmosphere. It feels good to be clean and well organized.
“Meals are provided for breakfast and dinner, and there is also a screen for washing at the back of the house.”
“great. how much?”
“How many rooms will you have?”
“I’ll take two.”
“Why? You can just use them together.”
“you hate me.”
“sh*t! You really are a total girl!”
“I said earlier, but did I say that the girl I know distorts railroads with her bare hands? Your hair can be like that too.”
“Wow, I’m really scared to death.”
Leaving behind the sound of the knife grunting, the woman smiled and said.
“If you book two rooms, you can give me 8 fairy tales each.”
“Um, it’s a bit expensive, isn’t it?”
“The inn takes at least 10 fairy tales!”
Both Hyeon-jun and Carl could not help but sigh at the words of the child shouting from behind their mother’s skirt. 10 fairy tales! No matter how much you eat, there is a limit!
“Not too long ago, the innkeepers agreed to raise the number to 13.”
“oh my god! Aren’t they crazy?”
“It really varies.”
Eight fairy tales are the cheapest room in this f*cking town! Both Hyeonjun and Carl handed over the money without complaining any more. The woman took the money and put it in her pocket.
“It’s late to say hello. My name is Emma. And this is my son, Steen.”
“I am Carl and this is Jun.”
“yes. Oh, and now I’m out, and my husband, Haim, is there too.”
Emma smiled and led Hyeon-jun and Karl upstairs. Upstairs, there are two small rooms facing each other, so there are a total of four rooms, all of which have the same structure and the same furniture. Hyeonjun and Carl chose rooms adjoining each other. Because I thought it would be better than having someone else come in and do sh*t in the next room. After packing up each other and going downstairs, Steen noticed Hyeonjun.
“Since I came to your house, I don’t need to give you fairy tales, right?”
“Yes…”
The child stretched his tail and seemed disapproving, but he didn’t say anything and went into the room. Hyeonjun looked at Emma.
“Where is the Adventurer’s Guild reception?”
“It is in the square in the center of town. You will see it when you leave the house and go over there.”
“thank you. let’s go.”
“Okay, let’s take a look at those outstanding skills.”
Hyeon-joon went out on the street with Carl. Hearing the shocking price of the inn, I couldn’t think of this town in a good way. It makes me sick to think that even that generous-looking lady roaming the streets is eating more than 10 fairy tales in one night’s stay.
“I’ve been to all the dog-like villages like this.”
“That’s right. The town I lived in was not like this.”
“She is from Taxis. Now I forgot what Ji said.”
“Oh, I mean, I lived in the city and then stayed in the village for a while.”
As we walked and talked, we soon arrived at the plaza. As Emma said, you can see the Adventurer’s Guild reception desk in the corner of the plaza. However, from the outside, it seems like a situation where you don’t want to go in, but the small building is crowded with adventurers, swearing and kicking the building.
“Wow, I really don’t want to get close.”
“Is it because of the request?”
“There will be nothing else.”
There was no other way, so the two eventually pushed people into the reception area. Hyeon-jun shoves people around and digs them in, and a knife goes in after him. They went all the way into the reception area and found a guild employee with a face that looked like he was about to hang himself. Inside the reception area, there was no atmosphere to say anything due to the adventurers’ swearing, but Hyeon-joon didn’t care and pushed the people in front of him.
“I want to hear about the three-eyed game request.”
“What is it, you bastard! Don’t go back!”
Hyeon-jun reached out and grabbed the guy who was swearing at him, pulled him by the collar, pushed his face in front of him and said lowly.
“Choose a good partner to flirt with that filthy snout.”
Then he pushed it back violently. Caught up in it, one of them fell and spat out curse words, but when Hyeon-jun’s eyes met, he ran away hiding among the people without hesitation. The reception desk, which had been so noisy that it was said to go away from Dottegi Market, became quiet at once, and only murmurs could be heard. Only then did the employee come to his senses and looked up at Hyeon-jun.
“Three-eyed play.”
“Whoa… Three fairy tales per guy. You have to take off the skin and bring it to me, and I will take care of selling the skin.”
“It looks like a real dog.”
said Carl, frowning. It is absurd to say that there are only three fairy tales when a monster is so strong that adventurers die. In addition, it is clear that he intends to eat cheaply in the village, as he has to sell the leather on his own. Everyone has come here, so they have no choice but to do it, but it is understandable that they go crazy over the situation. I don’t know how hard it would be to sell skins to the villagers, and I might not even get them at all. In addition, there was a job that kicked out the inn, so I took my anger out on this poor guild employee.
“Do you know where the crowds are?”
“West.”
“You have suffered a lot.”
“Thank you…”
At Hyunjun’s words, the guild staff greeted with a bitter smile and bowed their heads again. Hyeon-joon went out of the reception desk, separating the people who were hesitantly withdrawing.
