thousand eyes
“June! Are you going right into the woods?”
“No, fix the armor.”
“okay? I get it.”
An adventurer passing by talked to Hyeon-jun for no reason. If Hyeon-jun said that he would go into the forest right away, he intended to see the opportunity and go with him. No matter how strong Hyeon-jun is, he can’t keep walking around with the skin of the three-eyed gnoll. He needs someone to lift his burden. And it is certain that you will be able to touch a lot of money even if you only receive and eat the bean curd.
The adventurer licked his lips in regret and moved on. Hyeon-jun continued to say hello and greet each adventurer passing by before returning to Haim’s house.
“Emma, can I borrow some black cloth, thread, and a needle? Cloth is enough for this. I will pay.”
“Sure. wait a minute.”
Emma immediately brought a small piece of cloth, thread, and a needle. Hyeonjun gave her a fairy tale, received the item, and went into the room. Then, he placed a piece of cloth on the torn part of the cloth wrapped around the right snake brace, made a mark, and cut the cloth with a dagger.
‘It’s pretty annoying. If I get a chance later, I’ll have to cover it with sturdy leather.’
This is where the boss Gnoll bit you last night. There was not a single scratch on the armor, but the fabric was torn a little, exposing the shining armor. The night before, everyone was exhausted and distracted, so they didn’t get noticed, but they can’t walk around looking like this.
Hyeon-jun took off the fabric of the vamp brace and skillfully began to sew it. Even when I was in school, sewing at home was so frustrating that I used to help my friends little by little in exchange for snacks at the canteen. In particular, I was very good at buttoning, so I was able to fasten buttons more elaborately and more firmly than I did with a machine. It wasn’t because I had talent, but because I had to mend slightly torn or holed clothes so that they wouldn’t be seen, and I had to put on the fallen buttons myself. His father left early in the morning and returned late at night, so Hyeon-joon had to do everything himself, and he had to save money to have the clothes repaired at the laundromat instead of buying new ones.
“hmm···. My skills haven’t died.”
It is not that the skill is not dead, but as the body is strengthened, it is possible to move more delicately, and it is sewn at regular intervals without an error, as if it was done by a machine. Hyeonjun wrapped the cloth around the snake brace again and looked around. The color is a little different, but it’s so subtle that you can’t tell it at a glance.
Hyeonjun nodded in satisfaction, put on his armor, and left the door. You have to go earn karma. It’s unlikely that the adventurers will be able to kill them so quickly, but Hyun-jun is already thinking that all the three-eyed gnolls in the forest are his. Now, to him, the adventurers in Red Forest Village are just a means to create an opportunity to kill the Three-Eyed Gnoll.
“Jun, why are you so late? let’s hurry.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to kill the three-eyed.”
Carl, who was sitting on the first floor, stood up as if it were natural. Hyeon-joon needed someone to hold the leather anyway, and he smiled at his sly appearance and nodded his head. They said that they would definitely promote together on the first day and then decide after seeing it, but they are trying to get over it.
“okay. But let’s take one or two more. For the two of us, all we have to do is move five or six hides.”
“Then I’ll pick you up from the reception desk. You go to the entrance first.”
“Come on. I come, and you guys get the rest.”
“Ugh, thanks then!”
“Don’t try to eat too much. Then the stomach explodes.”
“Will you know how to do it well?”
Hyeon-jun smiled and walked to the entrance of the village. Carl will get a fairy tale or a beer in return for joining the party. Still, everyone must be clamoring to join Hyun-jun’s party. The skin of the three-eyed noll killed by Hyeon-jun is unconditionally a commodity, and even if you kill 10 of them in a day, you get 240 fairy tales. 120 in half, 40 fairy tales in three. Working as a porter for a day and getting 40 fairy tales? I can’t stand this.
As Hyeon-jun waited at the entrance of the village and greeted passers-by, Carl led two adventurers. However, contrary to Hyun-jun’s thought that Carl would be smiling, he was grumbling.
“Why is this guy like this?”
“The receptionist asked me to pay for entering the party, but Glenn didn’t give it to me, so why did you accept it? I just came here by drawing lots.”
“ha ha ha!”
At the words of an adventurer, Hyeonjun laughed out loud.
“Come to think of it, that makes sense. Why are you taking that!”
“Hey, it’s not the cost of recruiting a party!”
“I can’t take it even if I give it to you.”
“Aren’t you a complete idiot?”
“They also tried to give money at first!”
“Kuhm!”
Hyeonjun giggled and walked out the entrance. The guard stopped them, as before, and did not give a damn about the tolls, but rather raised their helmets and greeted them. The adventurers also greeted him with a smile and walked towards the forest.
“We just have to hold on until Jun kills them all. Don’t hurt the leather by slicing for no reason, just hold on.”
The adventurers nodded earnestly at Carl’s words, pretending to be the senior. They also didn’t want to do anything to lower the price of leather.
‘It’s me.’
For Hyun-joon, it’s perfect. The more you kill, the more karma you get. Hyeonjun walked freely through the woods and tracked down the noll. You don’t have to look around and on the floor. His keen sense is because he can find it right away if he is close to the three-eyed game. After walking for a while, Hyeonjun spoke up.
“Prepare.”
“uh.”
Carl immediately took up his spear and stance, and the other two saw it and prepared for battle. Hyeon-jun drew his sword and strode forward, then bounced to the left and ran out.
“Kong!”
Two three-eyed playfuls jumped out from where he ran and attacked. Then, a bird jumped out from the other side and prevented the sword and the adventurers from joining Hyeon-jun.
“Can I just stay still?”
The three-eyed gnolls standing in between moved slowly to prevent them from joining, so the adventurers only had to raise their shields. Meanwhile, Hyeon-jun was already killing one of the three-eyed gnolls and cutting off the hind leg of the other.
“Keheng!”
Surprised by the sound of the three-eyed play that kept the adventurers in check, he turned around, and Hyun-jun’s sword, which had come close to his nose, stabbed him in the neck at once.
“Cock!”
Hyeon-jun twisted his wrist and pushed the guy with his foot, drew his sword, and cut his leg to finish the three-eyed play.
“Hey!”
“Great!”
Adventurers admired Hyeon-jun for killing three three-eyed gnolls at once.
“right?”
“Why are you arrogant? feel bad.”
“Isn’t it too much to be in a bad mood?”
The sword weighed more on the shoulders than Hyeonjun, and the adventurers were crushed. Hyeonjun was wiping the blood and oil off his longsword.
“Anyway, let’s skin it.”
“okay.”
The adventurers clung to the corpse one by one and began peeling off the skin. It’s not as good as a knife, but everyone quickly peeled off their skins to see if they had experience. Then, without anyone telling them to do so, they rolled up their skins and carried them on their backs.
“Sorry, but even if the tail is a token, carrying the skin is the same.”
“Still, there is no need to carry hides that cannot be sold because they are in poor condition, right? When you run away, you can just cut off the tail and jump out. In addition, while one person is receiving the request fee from the reception desk, the rest can go sell leather.”
“It is.”
It’s something that couldn’t happen before. First of all, they had to take the leather to the reception desk before selling it, so there was no reason to split up, but if they had entrusted the leather to one guy, they would have sold it all, took the money, and ran away. However, everyone felt a sense of belonging to this unnamed group, and the bond was strengthened, so they could trust each other and entrust work. It is unfamiliar to those who lived like a kite with a thread cut, but it is something that tickles their hearts somewhere.
Hyeon-jun wandered through the woods and killed the three-eyed gnolls. However, they didn’t meet as quickly as they did on the first day, and it was only until they went quite deep that everyone was able to carry the heavy leather on their backs. The number reached thirteen, so Hyeon-jun had to carry one hide and tails in a sack.
The other adventurers gasped as they carried four hides on their backs, but the smiles did not disappear from their faces. Thirteen is 312 fairy tales. Half of them are 156, and 52 fairy tales fall per person. Hyeon-jun couldn’t see them counting their hands and counting. A daily wage of 52 fairy tales is a huge reward comparable to that of a C-class adventurer. Rather more. Among the C-class adventurers, those who made a name for themselves and received nomination requests would earn as much.
“Sigh, whoa. I wish every day was like today!”
An adventurer gasped and laughed.
“You have tomorrow too?”
“Tomorrow, we have to draw lots again.”
Hyunjoon nodded. Perhaps the adventurers agreed to enter Hyun-jun’s party by drawing lots every day. Hyeon-joon thought it would be because he only needed someone to hold the leather.
“Whoa, whoa.”
The three-eyed gnoll’s hide was thick and it was so large that it weighed quite a bit. I’m carrying four of them, so there’s no way I can speed myself up. Hyeonjun walked a little slowly for them and looked around.
‘The three-eyed play has definitely decreased a lot. But that is not a small number.’
The previous day, 64 were killed, but today Hyun-joon killed 13. No matter how much you think about it, it’s too much. In his heart, Hyeon-joon made a plan of how to act so that he could run away in case of emergency. But I won’t tell anyone about it. If you do, you might be able to slip it away when you run away.
“Huh… You killed a lot.”
The guards were amazed when they saw them approaching the village. Everyone was carrying a lot of leather and sacks as if they were wearing military gear, so even from a distance, you could tell that they had done something big. After greeting the guards and entering the village, Hyeon-jun put the leather he was carrying on his back on top of his sword.

“hey!”
“Sell your leather and come to the plaza. I’ll get the request fee and go.”
“Why are you giving it to me!”
“Because you look the best.”
“Hey!”
It’s not that it’s not, even though he looks quite young, he seems to be the most well-behaved, although he’s out of breath for a D-class name. Carl grumbled and led the adventurers on their way to the store. Hyeon-jun took a sack and entered the reception desk with light steps. The reception desk was very quiet as the adventurers went to the forest to do their jobs properly, so I was able to talk to Glenn right away.
“Thirteen.”
“Um, here you go.”
“Shouldn’t you check?”
“I can trust you.”
The two looked at each other and smiled. After receiving the money and saying hello, Hyeon-jun left the reception desk and took his seat in the plaza. Soon after, the sword and the adventurers arrived. They all have big smiles, tell bad jokes, and can’t contain their excitement.
“Are you here?”
“uh! here!”
When I open the heavy sack they gave me, there are many fairy tales inside. In Hyeon-jun’s eyes, he saw a fairy tale that was on the verge of losing its value because it had scratched the corners so much, but he decided to just move on. I’ll just have to enjoy it now and tell Carl later. Now Hyun-joon also considers Carl like his manager. But Carl will be fixed on Hyun-joon’s party, so he will earn this much every day. He’ll feel good about it too. Hyeonjun took out a fairy tale in front of them and counted it. Everyone wants their lips to reach their ears. After giving the money to the last person, Hyeon-jun tied a sack and held it in his hand.
“Good work. See you next.”
“Yeah, Jun did a good job too! Let’s do it together next time!”
The two adventurers headed for the tavern as if giggling and running. The sun hasn’t even gone down yet, so he must be thinking of going out for a drink. Still, I thought he would take action to quietly enter the fixed party, but he backed off neatly. It seems that there is a story about it too.
“Let’s have dinner and then go to the bar.”
“I need to stop by the bank.”
“Well, I can’t carry all of them.”
Hyeon-jun broke up with Carl and went to a small bank in town. Still, there is a bank because it is a place to earn money as a tourist destination. Hyeon-jun was able to pay 127 copper coins and get a silver coin because of the guys who scraped the corners. There is a fee, but this crap turns my insides every time I go to the bank to change money.
‘If I do this, I won’t have to worry about money for a while. If I do well, I can buy some armor.’
I borrowed a greaves from the guard the day before and wanted to buy more armor to cover my lower body. I thought it would be nice to postpone the lower body armor, but when I put it on, the confidence was greater than I thought. Even if you picture a battle in your head, the difference between having it and not having it is huge. I immediately feel the need to get other parts of the armor as quickly as possible.
