small reward
“How many?”
“I don’t know, other than that it’s quite a lot. It seems that even in the village, it was not accurately grasped. So, from our point of view, we need a certain insurance policy.”
“It’s okay to be in a difficult situation like this time due to lack of information.”
“Don’t worry. The village has officially requested support from the lord, and the lord is hiring adventurers. There will be nothing to hide in town. Well, since you can’t use the regular army for bandits, it means that a request came from me.”
“Then didn’t the request go to someone else already?”
“hehehe, the only ones who can subdue bandits in Taxis are my party or C-class or higher.”
“Um, but if it’s the lord’s request, the money is money, but the performance will be greatly appreciated.
“I will stay for as long as I can. My party is numerous, and my performance to rise to C rank is not enough, but my skills are sufficient. Of course, it’s D-class, so the commission fee is cheap. Why would you spend a lot of money and use a C-class or B-class party when you can pamper someone with skills at a cheap price? Besides, you already know that my party will be back now that things are done here.”
Hyeonjun tore the bread apart and dipped it in the stew to eat it, organizing his thoughts. It’s a bandit subjugation. It’s not bad. You can earn karma, and it will greatly increase your performance.
Considering the subjugation of Tantares this time, it wouldn’t be strange if he went up to B rank or higher right away, but he sold his credit to Duvan and Kurman. It was said that it would be recorded, but it would not be officially announced.
Seeing that others don’t know much about Tantares, it seems that they are controlling the information. The request will go up to killing the Three-Eyed Gnoll, not the game of Tantares, and considering the number he killed, the performance is sufficient, but there is no guarantee that it will be raised to D-class right away.
Also, since he was listed on the petition, the adventurer’s guild of Taxis might do something wrong. In addition, killing monsters is good in terms of performance, but it is a little weak in terms of trust. If he was a madman with good strength, how would he promote a guy who was only talking about subjugating monsters?
In that sense, this quest would be perfect if possible. The achievements were full, and even the request of the lord was completed, so there was no choice but to promote it. There are just a few problems.
“But isn’t it up to the lord to decide whether or not I will subdue the bandits?”
“You can guarantee your skills with my recommendation.”
“What do you see, the lord hires me?”
“hehehe, you said you were a mercenary. Skilled guys suddenly popped out. Doesn’t the aristocratic lord not know that?”
Suddenly, a talented military group suddenly appeared in his front yard. It’s not a guy who came up step by step, but a bunch of talented guys got together and came up at once, but I can’t help but investigate.
“Hmm, but what if the lord hired other guys? What am I going to do if I go all the way to the village at the bottom of the mountain?”
“Then you should look for something else. Why are you asking me about that?”
“This is a real no-brainer.”
“It is your situation that there is no solution.”
The two finished their meal with a smile. Seeing Steen looking at them with bright eyes, Hyeonjun roughly stroked his hair and said,
“Kid, don’t have strange fantasies about being an adventurer, and listen carefully to your parents. Don’t say nonsense about becoming an adventurer when you grow up. Because that’s what people who don’t have it do.”
“yes… .”
Steen answered with a long tail and sprinted into the room. Haim and Emma, who were looking at Steen worriedly, smiled apologetically and said.
“sorry.”
“No, you are right.”
Who would want to do this job of stepping into death? Except for those with outstanding skills such as Hyeon-jun and Gunther, everyone is an adventurer risking their lives because there is no secret hill. Like Steen, both parents are fine, they have a house, and there is no reason to risk their lives to be an adventurer in a situation where there is an abundance of money in the red forest.
Thinking like that makes me realize how immature Shosanna was. You must have turned your real parents upside down. Tsk tsk.
“good night. do it once The lord knows my circumstances, so he’ll make the request even if I’m not there. You take care of the commission fee and do it properly.”
“Do you know how to do it well?”
“If you can’t get a request with that, send someone right away. If you embezzle the request fee or jump right out of the way, I’ll chase you and shave all your party hair.”
“hehehe, pretending to be with a guy like you is a no-brainer on my part.”
Then Gunther said as he left the house.
“We will set off right away for Taxis. No matter what, you need to do maintenance for a day or so, so come slowly and not too late.”
“okay.”
Hyeonjun waved his hand roughly to see him off and went up to the room. There is nothing to do until the goods arrive from Kurman Street tomorrow. Looking at the store and swinging a sword is all it can do. He wants to learn magic as soon as possible, but since the guy from the Kurman family is a wizard, things get complicated when he notices Hyun-joon’s handling of mana. Besides, both Devan and Kurman are still here. Until then, mana and magic cannot be purchased.
Hyeonjun went up to his room and checked the price of Mental Enhancement 2 at the store. And raised his eyebrows.
731. It falls too fast.’
In just two days, the price has dropped by 49. Now Hyun-jun could also notice that mental enhancement did not simply improve Hyun-jun’s intellectual abilities.
But I can’t guess anything. For the past two days, all he has done is trade balls, take sword lessons from Bahanus, and binge drink. But why is the price of Mental Enhancement 2 going down?
Hyeonjun silently looked at the price of Mental Enhancement 2, then checked the price of Longsword 2 and Combat Skill (Skill). Right now, even thinking about Mental Enhancement 2, nothing comes out.
‘Long Sword 2 is 298, Combat Skill (Skill) is 121.’
The price of Longsword 2 is dropping like crazy. It must be thanks to Bahanus. Hyeonjun decided to think of it as proof that he was doing well anyway. If this continues, the price of the Longsword 2 will drop as much as the combat skill (proficiency). If the price drops a bit more, buy it.
On the other hand, combat skills (proficiency) did not drop in price as much as longsword 2. Could it be that he has reached a limit in his own development?
‘Buy magic and buy combat skills (skills) with the remaining karma. Longsword 2, watch a little more.’
Hyeon-joon, vaguely aware that he was doing something great thanks to Bahanus, put off the purchase. This is a choice he can nod his head at in the future. Without Bahanus, I would have made a decision that would have made me shed bloody tears in the future. Bahanus, it can only be called light.
‘I have to swing a sword today.’
Hyeonjun took his sword, bought something to eat, and left the village with light steps. Not knowing that the guards were whispering secretly at the entrance of the village, he happily went into the forest. I go out in the morning, stay in the forest all day, and come back drenched in sweat, so I look at it suspiciously. I didn’t think he’d do something crazy like swinging a sword all day long.
Well, to that extent, he handles his sword like a ghost, and I can understand at least one of his secret hobbies. Because it’s strong anyway. Shouldn’t we force them to pursue that suspicious hobby?
Hyeon-jun swung his sword until just before sunset, and when he arrived at the village, it was already dark. Hyeon-jun passed by the plaza and found Glen sitting down in front of the reception desk.
“Glen, are you feeling okay?”
“Whoa… . I think I will die.”
“ha ha ha! Do you remember what happened yesterday?”
“I don’t know… . What happened?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I said that I couldn’t do it, so I sang while screaming very badly. There is probably no adventurer who hasn’t seen it.”
Hyeonjun giggled and Glenn let out a sigh and buried his face between his legs.
It’s embarrassing to see that his ears are burning red.
“It could be that if you drink a little.”
“…Leave me alone.”
“ha ha ha!”
Hyeonjun patted him on the shoulder, encouraged him, and tried to pass.
“I think we were in the woods, but the soldiers have gone back.”
“Okay. Drink some water, eat something. Your complexion doesn’t make sense.”
“ha… .”
Hyeonjun grinned and walked past him to the well. It’s a little relieved to hear that Devan and Kurman have left. Of course, I don’t think they would play tricks on Hyeon-jun, but being in the same village was uncomfortable for nothing. Well, I plan to leave this place as soon as I receive the goods tomorrow. It’s okay to tell the others tomorrow morning.
Hyeonjun walked slowly while humming a Korean song. The work seems to have worked out, and I feel good. Plus tomorrow you can learn magic! Hyeon-jun greeted the adventurers who greeted him and walked happily while talking.
***
Hyeon-jun, who woke up early in the morning and greeted Glenn and the adventurers saying that he would leave within the day, entered the room and put on his armor.
Since the battle with Tantares, he hadn’t worn the armor once, so the confidence felt a little uncomfortable. However, after sitting down for a while and moving my body, I quickly got used to it.
Rather, the problem was the longsword he used before. I couldn’t use it because it was broken at all, but it was difficult to do so willingly when I was about to sell it. I had never been attached to anything in my life, but I couldn’t help feeling sorry for thinking it was a gift from Shosanna.
In the end, he pushed the broken sword into his bag, and without hesitation tied it to the side of the bag. Later, if you meet a good blacksmith somewhere else, it would be nice to make a new one by adding a little iron, or to make a short one-handed sword as a sidearm.
Originally, weapons are consumables that last a little longer. If it’s not magical like the sword he’s using now, he’ll change it depending on the situation, but people who are passionate about weapons like Hyeon-jun often recycle broken weapons. Well, can’t we save the price of iron?
“Adventurer Jun! Is there an adventurer, Jun!”
Just then, I heard a voice calling for Hyun-joon from below. When Hyeon-jun packed all his things and went down, Emma opened the door and then came back in embarrassment. There was a well-dressed man who looked like a servant, so it had to be.
“I am the adventurer Jun.”
“Show me your ID.”
At his words, Hyeonjun handed over his ID. He carefully examined the ID card and returned it to Hyeon-jun.
“Don’t do this here, come inside.”
“No. I’ll just give you my things and I’ll go right away.”
Then, when he reached back, someone handed him an object. It was a thin metal plate large enough to cover Hyeon-jun’s chest, and there were two holes made of luxurious leather at each end.
“It is a magic tool that accumulates mana. Wearing it on your chest or back with a string, and directly touching it is enough to infuse mana into other magic tools. Due to its small size, the amount of mana that can be accumulated is not large, but the speed at which mana is collected is fast, so there will be no shortage. Any more questions?”
“What if it is damaged?”
“In that case, I’ll leave it to the wizard and blacksmith.”
“All right. thank you.”
“then.”
Then he climbed into the carriage parked in front of the house and drove away in an instant. It seems that he is not a simple user.
‘Unlike Devan, he definitely draws a line.’
Since that was only natural, Hyeon-joon took a magic tool and entered the house to examine it.
The shiny metal plate has a slightly rounded curve, making it a good shape to wear on the body. And what looked like a simple magic circle was drawn. Hyeonjun brought his sword to it.
‘Certainly, mana moves.’
Mana accumulated in the metal plate flows into the sword, and mana is sucked towards the metal plate. Its speed was quite fast, so it soon became quiet again, probably full of mana.
Hyeonjun took off his breastplate and Gambison, put it on his chest, and moved it a bit. It’s not terribly uncomfortable, but it’s kind of frustrating. When I put it on my back, it seemed to fit perfectly, so I put on the Gambison and breastplate over it.
“Emma, I’m going.”
“Yes, good luck. Next time you come to Red Forest Village, please come to my house again.”
“Sure.”
“Ugh, wait!”
Just then, a knife came scurrying down from upstairs.
“Ah, you’re going to leave without even saying hello, you heartless bastard.”
“why? Do you have anything to give me?”
“no. Say hello and go.”
Hyunjoon smiled and held out his hand to him. Carl also grinned and took her hand.
Kwak!
“Ah!”
“Be careful with your mouth, and I’m afraid that your hair will dry out if you talk softly. huh?”
“sorry! I don’t know what it is, but I’m sorry!”
Hyeonjun grabbed Carl’s hand tightly and released it, punching him in the chest. I’ve spent quite a bit of time here in the Red Forest Village, and Carl was a pretty decent guy. He also felt a bit regretful now.
“Have a good day. Do not die.”
“Oh no, I’m scared to death. Don’t die either.”
Hyunjoon waved his hand at him and left the door. All the adventurers he met while walking also waved goodbye to him and held out their hands.
“Jun, I will never forget you. I’m not going to tell you, but take care of yourself.”
“okay. Be careful too.”
Then, passing through the plaza, I bumped into Glenn, who was standing outside the reception desk. Glenn grinned and held out his hand to Hyeonjun. Hyeonjun also held his hand tightly.
“See you next time.”
“Be careful not to drop your neck.”
“ha ha ha! You!”
Hyunjoon coolly walked away from him. At the entrance of the village, the guards took off their helmets and accepted him to greet them, and Hyun-jun set out on the road. I was going to take a carriage, but the time was different from the regular carriage, so I decided to just walk. You can walk, buy magic, and increase your mana while taking it easy.
Now that autumn is in full swing, the sky is getting higher. Hearing the clear sky without a single cloud and the sound of birds chirping in the resurrected forest, Hyeon-joon walked happily.
