A heart to give to others
“But if we just call ourselves a mercenary, can we become mercenaries?”
At Cain’s words, I looked back at what other experienced new mercenaries were talking about.
“Then if I say I am a noble, will the other guys treat me as a noble?”
“Yes, you will be sentenced to death for pretending to be a nobleman.”
“Shut up.”
There are two ways to become a mercenary.
One formally belongs to a noble or knight family. Raise their flag and become a guaranteed mercenary squad bearing their name on their backs. This case is officially called a mercenary group.
You are not hired by the family, but you can say that you are sponsored by the family. Of course, you can also be hired by a sponsoring family. With family guarantees, of course there is trust, and it is easy to find work. However, if they weren’t that reliable, there was no way the family would give a guarantee.
The other is to simply gather among themselves and call themselves a mercenary.
“Then we are mercenaries too?”
“They say they are free mercenaries, but there are a lot of problems.”
“what?”
“It’s just guys who know how to fight and walk around together. How is it different from bandits?”
“Still, I’m not stealing… .”
“hehehe, most of the free mercenaries live by robbing and robbing villages in secluded places when there is no work. Got it? Without family guarantees, they are just bandits.”
“Are we a band of bandits?”
“Oh, really! Not that!”
In the end, Gunther, who couldn’t see it, opened his mouth.
“For now, I maintain my identity as an adventurer. Then, go to the innovative faction and contact Jun Yi Noble to get support. If done well, Jun himself could become a nobleman or a knight. But if this gets blocked, you just have to make your mark as an adventurer and get the support of your family.”
“Where do you land the ball?”
“The Eastern Mountains Front. Or in a civil war.”
Cain’s face went pale. In the eastern mountains, there are medium-sized monsters like trolls to large monsters that are said to be over 10 meters in length. The topography of the mountain is also like a beggar, but fighting medium or large monsters there is only possible for the elite of the elite or special beings such as knights and wizards.
Not to mention civil war. Considering the current situation in the Southern Kingdom, it wouldn’t be strange if a civil war broke out at any time. Even insignificant commoners know that. When a civil war breaks out, a three-way war breaks out between the orthodox faction, the aristocratic faction, and the innovative faction. You shouldn’t think of adventurers fighting monsters. You won’t be able to clearly distinguish between enemies and allies, and you won’t be able to fall out if you don’t fit the grade. However, talking about civil war while going to the innovative faction that the three are the weakest!
“Gain, if you’re scared, you can just get out of here.”
“Leader! Taxis should have told you that!”
“That’s right. sorry.”
“Aagh!”
Cain grabbed his head and screamed, but it’s hard to even say he’ll step out now. If I had said it in Taxis, I would have missed it if I had looked at the situation, but now I am shouting Hyunjun Coin Rice Cake and getting on the same boat.
Hyeonjun nodded as Ga-in was in pain.
‘I see. I didn’t know.’
Hyeon-jun only thought about each faction and nobles, but he knew nothing about mercenaries. I thought I could just say I was a mercenary and ask for a job. Lahansen looked at Hyeon-jun’s sudden nod as if it were strange, but he passed on because he couldn’t look into Hyeon-jun’s head.
If they could have known what Hyeon-jun was thinking, they would all have stood up and clamored. Entrusting your life to this guy!
“Gunther, what were you guys?”
“We were a proper mercenary.”
Gunther calmly answered Hyeonjun’s question. The atmosphere of the mercenaries became heavy. I guess I don’t want to think too much.

“Is it okay if I ask?”
“no. You should know, though.”
Gunther, who climbed into the carriage, changed his posture and turned to face Hyeon-jun. Hyeon-jun also paced the horse and walked side by side with him.
“We operated in the southwest of the Southern Kingdom. I was hired by the Gasrun family. I wasn’t even the captain at the time.”
Gunther said, stroking his unkempt beard.
“It’s a bit complicated, but to put it simply, Gasrun bastards pushed us into the mountains as troll bobs. They said there was only one guy in the cave, but when I went in, he found out that he had a very good family and is living well. Soldiers from behind pushed us into the cave, fighting for our lives. And after searching for more than half, I had no choice but to disband the mercenary corps.”
“That’s right, it’s a dog story. Well, you’ve set out to do mercenary work again.”
“hehehehe, I have a thick line like you, so of course I have to catch it.”
“What are you going to do if it breaks?”
“Then you have to go back. So behave yourself well.”
“Your shoulders are heavy.”
Ironically, Gunther had a greater regard for Hyeonjun than Hyeonjun himself.
Hyeon-jun thought that Marquis Benting would not miss him, but he wasn’t sure how much he would hit him. Even though I know that he has a great cause, it is because Hyun-joon himself is evaluated very harshly.
Hyeon-jun was also thinking of a case where the marquis took him for a cause and then protected him, or imprisoned him, in order not to lose him. It’s because if you die or go out of sight of the temple for no reason, the value will drop.
“Then you got the line right. Just the name Mana Knight is enough.”
“Bitter, I can’t handle it properly yet.”
“If you don’t have talent, even if you train until you die, you won’t even get a clue. After discovering a gold mine, no one backs down because they don’t like digging.”
said La Hansen straight up. They were all right. Hyeon-jun pondered and realized that this 15-year-old boy knew the noblest of them all.
“What do you think? How will Marquis Benting come out?”
“I was just a seed. What are you expecting?”
“Can you really change that tone? This is the first time in my life that I have ever had a kid that I want to squeeze as much as you do.”
“joy.”
As Hyeon-jun raised his fist and trembled, La Hansen snorted while slightly widening his distance.
“As far as I know, you will get married.”
“Anything else besides that?”
“What is certain other than blood ties?”
“Ah, marriage is a bit… .”
“Even if it is not a direct descendant of the Benting family, there will be marriage talks with collateral or close aides. There is no reason to refuse.”
“For now, tell me something other than marriage.”
Lahansen grimaced in a little annoyance. Why refuse when there’s an easy way to make sure you’re on the line? Then, La Hansen looked at Hyeon-jun with pity at what suddenly came to mind.
“Even if you are impotent, it’s okay because it’s a nominal marriage.”
“hahahahaha!”
Everyone who listened to Lahansen’s words burst into laughter. Only Maxim was considerate of Hyeon-jun and stopped laughing.
Hyeonjun smiled and rode his horse closer to La Hansen. Lahansen slinked away again.
“It’s not like that.”
“I understand.”
“No.”
“sorry.”
Hyeonjun reached out and started spouting cold water.
“100 million! Pooh!”
“June! Stop bullying the kid!”
“okay! Don’t squirt water out of your hands just because it’s not coming out of your stuff!”
Hyeon-jun silently reached out to the other side and sprayed water at the guys in the carriage. After screaming and screaming, he didn’t stop even when he begged. After extracting and using all the mana in the magic tool, using the mana of the body, and then using the mana of the collected magic tools, Hyun-jun lowered his hand. Hyeonjun, dizzy from mana depletion, said.
“what?”
“Go, as a vassal, can, can, can.”
La Hansen, who had been bathed in cold water for a long time, said tremblingly. The other mercenaries are also crouching and trembling. Maxim was no exception. I’d rather be hit by one, but I can’t do anything about it because I’m getting hit this way. he’s a complete madman
“Because you are gone… .”
“That means you can build your family.”
That’s probably the case that worked out for the best. A blood relationship is the most certain, but he has no family, and he doesn’t want to get married either. Aside from establishing a family name, the best thing to do is to be knighted. Other than that, it was the case that the Marquis did not value Hyeon-joon very much.
‘Looking at it this way, Turaion came out really big.’
Wouldn’t you try to marry a child who is less than 10 years old? The more you think about it, the more wasteful it is. If Turaion had been there, it would have been reassuring against the aristocratic faction.
‘Let’s forget about the past.’
Hyeonjun brushed off his lingering feelings and opened his mouth.
“Then, the goal is to establish a family first, and if that doesn’t work, you’ll get a knighthood.”
“Even if you have a cause with a temple on your back, you won’t be able to easily establish a family.”
“Then, knighthood as the primary target, and family as the secondary target.”
“What next?”
“Follow the marquis and appoint the princess as queen.”
“You speak too easily.”
“Then should I say it hard?”
Lahansen walked silently for a while before speaking.
“Actually, if a civil war really breaks out, the princess has the advantage. Rather, the situation where we only see each other like now is not good.”
“why?”
“A duke or marquess, other than the Benting family, did not participate in the succession plan.”
“Why?”
“No matter who becomes the king, the duke and marquis are still great nobles with great power. Better to be quiet than to go out and see blood. It’s not like I’m related by blood to the princes.”
The king coveted women regardless of politics as if he had become a true madman, and Prince Il and Prince Lee both inherited the blood of mediocre families. In addition, it is said that the princess’s mother was not a noblewoman, nor was she from the southern kingdom.
If it was a normal king, he would have received the blood of a duke or marquess family with great power, and in that case, the succession structure would have been neatly organized in this way without being destroyed.
As it was, the dukes and marquises with mighty military powers watched without their hands, and the royal aristocrats, the orthodox and the aristocrats, were aung daung. In such a situation, the princess suddenly gathers forces around the Marquis Benting, who guards the border with the mountain range in the northeast of the southern kingdom, and raises an innovative faction.
The Marquess of Benting is not only a military commander as a Marquis, but also has tremendous privileges and owns several neighboring estates. The Marquis is the Marquess of Benting and at the same time a baron who rules several other territories located on the frontier. Adding to that his vassals, the royal aristocrats were no match for battle or war.
For this reason, the orthodox faction and the aristocrats maintain this confrontation and try to politically kill the innovative faction, and the innovative faction is secretly instigating civil war.
“That’s why the innovators will definitely try to catch you. What the innovators need is a justification for starting a civil war.”
You can’t kill at random just because you’re strong. War with other countries is the same, but especially in a civil war. Because killing them all and pushing them away is impossible.
After all, after the civil war, they will be neighbors again. In the end, what is needed is a justification for starting a civil war.
“I am the ember to start a civil war.”
“Aren’t you overestimating yourself? You still have nothing.”
“Little boy. I’m sorry for teasing you before, so let’s stop?”
“Don’t call me a kid.”
La Hansen kept trying to tease Hyeon-jun while giving him information, so in the end Hyeon-jun raised the white flag first. If you make up your mind and fight, there’s no way Hyeon-jun, trained with Idelia, will lose, but that’s because I decided to only do it against Idelia.
“And don’t call me you, call me Jun. Please speak comfortably.”
“June. Um, didn’t you say another name before? Ka, Kang… .”
“Kang Hyun-joon. Kang is my last name and Hyunjun is my first name.”
“What, isn’t it noble?”
“Were you a real nobleman?”
Lahansen said as if he was happy, and the mercenaries whispered.
“Where I live, even non-nobles have surnames.”
“You are talking nonsense. If you want to deceive, say something more plausible.”
“okay. Misunderstand or not.”
Hyeon-joon didn’t want to waste time with this argument anymore. Even though we are talking to each other, the conversation is not working.
“You mean it’s going to be fine anyway?”
“That’s up to you, Jun.”
“Yes.”
It’s so right that I can’t even refute or catch the pod.
“Whoa… . Alright, so.”
When Hyeonjun spoke, everyone looked at Hyeonjun. Hyun-joon is the de facto leader of the Jun & Gunther mercenary group. mom is stupid When Hyeon-joon spoke, everyone listened.
“Which direction should we go?”
“You son of a b*tch!”
“Wasn’t it decided and going!”
“Gunther, you know, but I don’t know the way. It’s just that there’s a road, so I’m going.”
“Damn it! It did!”
Gunther scratched his head. This is the fault of the mercenaries, including Gunther. All of them were well aware of Hyeon-jun’s lack of common sense, but for some reason he moved confidently, so they followed him.
“A guy like this really is a mana knight… .”
Lahansen murmured gloomily. However, there was no one who ignored or looked down on Hyeon-jun. He now has skills comparable to that of a knight, and has a temple on his back.
In addition, La Hansen was admiring Hyun-jun’s bold decision. Almost all the nobles in the kingdom aim for him, but there is an ambush, and in just one day, he sets his course and pushes through. If it was the culprit, he was already dead, and even if he survived, he would have tucked his head back and trembled, or acted indecisively as if to look into the situation.
There are certainly some gaps, but that’s something others can help with. Skills and cause, plus bold judgment and the popularity that makes adventurers from mercenaries risk their lives to follow them!
This is why La Hansen decided to entrust his life to him even though it had only been two days since he saw Hyun-joon in person for the first time. Hyun-joon is definitely a man worth risking his life for.
