Chapter 143 JMC“It was originally planned to be brought from the US or France through you, but probably Locke also thought so.”
“I can introduce you to the level of people I know in the US, France, and Korea, but I don’t know if they will supply weapons.”
‘Of course!’ he thought.
“And I have a potion, which I think I need.”
“portion?”
“Because my position is a healer.”
“If it’s a healer… isn’t that… a healer in the game?”
“Yes. Aren’t you among the Awoken?”
“There isn’t.”
The problem is that it doesn’t help much in battle.
By the way, is Taesung Yoon’s position as a healer?
Hatchet DeBole knew that once the attributes of the Awakened were set, they could not be changed and that skills of other attributes could not be acquired.
I knew that healing properties were not usually combat skills.
“This is the potion.”
Taesung Yoon took out some potions from the subspace.
“It’s made with magic stones and my skills. This is a grade 3 potion crafted from grade 3 magic crystals. Green is a recovery potion, which restores health quickly. In other words, the hunter can fight without getting tired. Blue is a healing potion, and Africa has a poor medical system, so it can be quite useful.”
In addition to that, yellow magic potion, purple secondary potion, orange holy potion, etc.
Yoon Tae-sung did not exaggerate the explanation.
Just drinking will improve your stamina, speed up your movement, and improve your defense?
Can trauma and internal injuries be treated?
Wouldn’t this be almost a miracle potion?
Even in a developed country with a good medical system, many people would want this miracle potion.
This was not only necessary for hunters, but the healing, magical, and divine potions seemed to be very useful in everyday life.
“How is it?”
“I think it’s very… very good. Of course, if the effect you’re talking about is clear, it’s a must-have in Africa. Violi runs a logistics company, so we can definitely secure a sales route in Africa.”
In Africa, it is difficult to use the hospital if even the mercenaries attacking the dungeon are injured.
In Hatchamp’s opinion, this was definitely a guaranteed sale. And if you could distribute these things exclusively, that would be a huge advantage.
The biggest benefit would be to use the potion only within the PMC that Violier created.
“If Locke is dead, what happens to his mercenaries?”
Most likely Locke used mind control, and this ability didn’t go away when the caster died.
Perhaps Locke had brainwashed them into being loyal. If they find out about Locke’s death, how will they react?
“That … should be talked about.”
“Let’s go and talk now. It could be a clue to the person who killed Locke.”
Of course, Locke had completely hidden his past, so he thought there would be no clues.
A civil revolution took place in the name of the ‘Tunisian Spring’ and democracy took root, but Islam was basically a culture of conformity, so it was not easy to completely impregnate democracy, no matter how secularistic it was.
It is difficult to think of democracy in developed countries such as Korea. The roots of democracy in Tunisia in the spring of spring have gradually rotted and have become closer to dictatorship.
The current president has been in office for over 10 years.
The president was in charge of national defense and diplomacy, and the prime minister created a cabinet and was in charge of internal affairs, but the president appoints the prime minister.
The current president of Tunisia is in his third term after re-election. To be honest, this was enough to be called a dictatorship.
Khalid Sharif was Minister of Foreign Affairs in a previous term, this time appointed Prime Minister.
The president was also quite trustworthy, and he was a young and capable politician.
“Look, Prime Minister Sharif! The establishment of its own PMC is quite important in dungeon raids. They can do things that the military cannot do.”
“Can’t the government do that? If we bring together illegally swarming militants, we can’t control mercenary companies as well as we do in the United States.”
Nizar Morkhan again persuaded the Prime Minister, and Khalid Sharif objected to Morkhan’s opinion.
“Currently, many overseas PMCs are entering Africa. Wouldn’t it be better to support them to work in Tunisia?”
The president, though not absolute, was in favor of Defense Minister Nizar Morkhan’s comments by about 60%.
“I agree with your opinion. We need to support them too, create a domestic PMC, and somehow create an environment where we can properly attack dungeons. We need to create a good environment for mercenaries to come to Tunisia.”
Africa these days has almost no borders to be called borders. Monsters roam there, and his army is busy defending their big city.
In this situation, it was important to create an environment conducive to mercenary activity.
Prime Minister Sharif was right and Minister Morzan was right.
“What do you do when you create a military enterprise? There are no weapons, and it is difficult to control. However, the mercenaries coming from abroad are well-armed and controlled by that country.”
“Is there a case where coming from a foreign country has been beneficial to Tunisia? They also come in thinking about looting. what are they aiming for? It’s magic stone.”
“Well, even so, Josh Enterprises is a logistics company. What PMC do you create without experience? Rather, in my opinion, it is more efficient to create a coalition consortium of PMCs coming from abroad.”
Originally, Khalid Sharif was a progressive and very pro-European person.
He was a person who argued that Tunisia should develop even by investing foreign capital, and actually attracted quite a lot of investment when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Of course, I wondered if it could actually improve the lives of Tunisians.
‘A consortium of overseas PMCs? That just means that only they will monopolize the dungeon strategy.’
It was a consortium, and Minister Morzan thought it was an obvious act.
It will give them a huge advantage to bring them to Tunisia.
“Go ahead with both.”
The president made a decision.
“Call and bring all the people who founded the PMC at Josh Enterprises and the people who will make up the overseas PMC consortium. I’ll have to hear how they plan and operate it myself.”
he is a dictator
But what good is a dictatorship when monsters occupy half of the country and even the capital is threatened? His power was gradually diminishing.
He wondered if this could help re-establish his position.
The broken glass has already been repaired.
The uproar broke out in the hotel’s most expensive penthouse, because the manager of the hotel couldn’t have known about it.
Locke disappeared through space movement.
They didn’t know that Locke was dead yet.
“Is Locke… dead?”
“Yes. He died without leaving a body.”
Violier Josh confirmed it.
They all looked shocked. This is the part where you can see how much they depended on Locke.
If it wasn’t for mind control, I could even suspect that I was a dependent patient.
“The bizarre man was . . . a truly monstrous man. He killed the man he was with Locke at once. After that he disappeared right away.”
“It could be a grudge murder, or it could be a killer sent by a competitor in the creation of this PMC, the exact cause is unknown.”
“Maybe… do you know anything?”
“We also don’t know much about Locke and the past… so what will happen to PMC?”
“It was decided to keep going.”
“Is it possible to proceed without a lock?”
“It’s almost finished with Locke, so if you choose the last card well, that’s enough.”
Yoon Tae-seong thought that they were united by Locke’s loyalty. However, if you look closely, not everyone was caught in Locke’s mind control, and the skill didn’t seem to work properly because Locke was dead.
I looked at only one person first, but the magic that controls the mind is a bit weak.
‘Actually, this was not mental brainwashing, but because it was brainwashing that was manifested by magic.’
Since the caster is dead, won’t that magical power that governs the target gradually disappear?
In order to maintain mind control, it seemed that the skill had to be maintained by continuously consuming mana.
In other words, it means that a skill with a mental attribute is not perfect.
Because of the mind control Locke used, they have a crush on Violier Josh.
‘Well, it’s not bad for them to join the PMC made by Violier.’
“So I hope you guys can help. Locke isn’t there, but the PMC he was trying to make will continue. I want you to participate too.”
“If that monster is a killer, aren’t you in danger too? Probably a killer sent by those who lobbied for the prime minister.”
He was one of the two men who always escorted Locke.
“That’s why this dude here is supposed to keep Violier until the job is done.”
“Who are the people lobbying for the Prime Minister?”
Violi asked this.
She hadn’t heard of this.
“PMCs in Europe are also lobbying for the prime minister to advance into Africa. I found out that several arms dealers and mercenaries who were not licensed in Europe were lobbying to enter Africa.”
In this day and age, you don’t get permission from the PMC? Not only the defense companies, but also several large corporations made PMCs to attack the dungeons, and this was highly recommended by the government.
This is because if you can control it, you can manage the dungeon more efficiently.
There is only one class that cannot create a PMC. Because he has a criminal history. Or it could be a wanted criminal.
As they come to Africa, they try to set up a company ‘officially’.
Even when criminals came to Africa, they were still criminals. You have to hide and work.
However, if one PMC is established, the scope of activities will be widened and it will be safer.
In other words, it becomes an armed force with the permission of the state.
‘Really, if it wasn’t for me, they could have killed Locke? That’s why I always carried them around like an escort.’
Is there any difference between them and a gang or a drug cartel in Mexico?
The Tunisian government fosters such an armed cartel within the framework of legality.
Will that really help the situation in Africa?
‘It may or may not be.’
Even the armed cartel of a criminal group will eventually be able to attack the dungeon, so it will be helpful.
But if they commit other crimes, they will become militants no different from the Mexican drug cartel.
Maybe you dream of overthrowing the country.
“We will discuss it a bit and give you a definitive answer.”
Looking at his face, he seemed to be thinking quite positively.
Luc Feliche is an arms dealer in Africa. He sells weapons to militants, not legally active lobbyists, of course.
Recently, like any other weapon dealer, he started to purchase magic crystals and sell them at a high price.
Then I got greedy.
– What if we monopolized the African Magic Stones?
Unlike other countries, the African government did not seem to have much interest in magic stone.
It’s an infrastructure that even dungeons and Awoken can’t manage properly. So, as if a chaos had arrived, all kinds of armed forces, awakeners, and illegal mercenaries from abroad came in and played a game.
They planned to create a large-scale armed group with the permission of the government in order to monopolize the Magic Stone, but there was another person with similar thoughts.
“How are you going to get the weapon? We have both weapons and personnel ready. In fact, we are gathering existing groups to form a PMC.”
The PMC that Lurk creates is called the Free Africa Mercenary Association.
Since it is difficult to monopolize it alone, he created a cartel, and the cartel tried to monopolize the African magic crystal market.
