Kingdom ? Lv. 167 Hard Throk’s Slum (2)
Wherever people live, society is always formed.
It’s the same anywhere.
The slums on the outskirts of Hardsrock were also inhabited.
The same was true of the poor and descendants of countless exiles who did not even know the concept of outside the labyrinth.
In fact, the word poor is not necessarily correct.
The word slum does not mean poverty.
It only means that it is a place where public authorities have given up, the security is poor, and it is a place isolated from the mainstream society.
Although the slum of Hard Throk was not so-called, it was a little questionable whether the latter condition was met.
Hard rock, where about half of the country can be called a slum, is rather a shape in which an organized city is surrounded by slums.
And the slum organizations were eager to raise their own fortune.
“Hey, there are so many things that I put together.”
“Still, compared to what the goblins took care of, it’s a bit unpretentious.”
“Church… No, are you looking for the site of the temple?”
“The Goddess says it’s good anywhere. So I decided to decide what I want.”
The youngest replied with a gentle smile. Lately, there have been a lot of bad impressions, so it felt rather awkward.
But this is probably the essence of the youngest.
Remy sighed deeply.
It was an undertaking in consideration of various circumstances.
But these days are the days when you realize your origin.
Even if he was weak from the beginning, and after being exiled, he spent a longer time than his whole life outside.
After all, she was an ordinary middle school student.
Is it a leader’s test? to the point of thinking that
I’ll close my eyes for a lot of stuff I put in my back pocket. Instead, prove it.
It’s not that the thief is numb, it’s the truth, so I can’t complain.
Perhaps the allegation itself of the test itself is true.
From the beginning, it seems that the leader was thinking of entrusting Remy with the work of the slum.
In fact, this is a very generous and humane disposition.
I believed he would do that, so I thought I’d confide in him first.
It was a safety measure in the hope that they would do anything wrong at the place where the hunter was sent. I didn’t think he was already caught.
As a result, it may have been a good thing, since it proved to be useful.
However, as the disposition caused the leader to take a forced rest due to everyone’s disapproval, the difficulty increased significantly, causing only a headache.
An angel lightly walked in.
“Remiya~ The Locust Guild confirmed that I would make time for this evening!”
“Ugh, yes.”
* * *
The Locust Guild Master, Locust saw the face of the neighboring boss who had collapsed just a few days ago.
“It’s been a while. Jericho.”
“okay…….”
“Can you explain in more detail what the hell happened?”
“I’m here to do that, so I’ll have to…”
His face, as if tormented by various things, still seemed like a nightmare.
But the Locust was not in the mood to take care of the situation.
He has very little information.
All he knew so far was that the Angel’s sudden gang hunt had begun.
Even that hitman, Angel, had already built up trust in this area for 8 years.
He was anxious about missing a screw somewhere, but he was sincere and strong above all else.
Even as rumors circulated that he was a hidden ranker, everyone tried not to offend the Angel.
Because Angel’s initial request changed the game for the area around 8 years ago.
In other words, the organizations currently in place were all the angel’s employers and beneficiaries.
Even tacit agreements between organizations have now been reached.
Instead of the northern hospital area, which is their sphere of influence, it is only commissioned for the purpose of dealing with quarrels that occur in a more distant area.
If we both aimed for each other’s lives, it’s just a rehash of what happened 8 years ago.
Everyone was afraid of the angel.
You never know when that crazy berserk will suddenly attack your house.
“The woman’s boss appeared.”
“…what is that? Wasn’t it a one-man guild?”
“I guess it wasn’t. I don’t know if it’s from another country or not. It seems that the Angel was just hiding here from the beginning.”
“The subjugation sent from Hard Throk… it can’t be, then it would have been swept away earlier.”
There is a reason why public authorities do not move.
There may be problems with dealings with organizations much larger than them, but it is fundamentally better to leave them alone.
Locust had a foreboding of his future by looking at the sunken eyes of a friend who was not a friend.
A boss with an angel.
He is, of course, the strongest in his organization.
But can you beat the Angel? Resistance, if possible, is good.
The conclusion is set.
There must have been some long-standing conspiracy.
As an exile, he lived here because he only knew how to live like this.
Then just follow that order.
But you can’t just keep your head down.
Seeing the locust wet her lips, Jericho smiled softly.
“I’ve explained everything I’m going to say. A face I know would stand in front of me saying it would be better to open their mouth like this. Damn it.”
“You’re kind too. What’s wrong with being a middle school kid?”
“Okay.”
And a voice came.
“Come in!”
woman’s voice. I don’t feel so young, but I don’t feel old either.
I feel young rather than mature.
Curiosity rises Who the hell are you?
And when I entered, I saw a boss who was tall for a woman, but seemed like a punchy punch.
Of course, the Locust didn’t do anything foolish to judge strength by appearance.
However, the class could be judged by the appearance.
The soul of a warrior who had lived as a citizen of Hard Throk for half his life as an exile cried out.
“Wizard? Where is this!”
Remy flipped a finger.
The youngest moved.
Exactly 30 seconds later, the Locust succumbed.
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I was wrong.”
“Let me go.”
The youngest removed the strength that had been holding her hair.
He resisted even using his skills, but the youngest walked silently and grabbed his arm and broke it.
He swung his sword, but was caught.
Without the blade digging into the flesh or raising an eyebrow, after taking the sword, I grabbed the chin by the chin, and my neck was numb.
As soon as it is lifted up in the air as it is, it’s no use for skills or anything.
A warrior is a class that assumes fighting with their feet on the ground.
“Are you idiots? What’s wrong with the wizard? I don’t know where you stand now?”
“No, I know. I know. But the wizard is a bit…”
Remy continued speaking with a puzzled expression.
“Why the hell are you talking about his wizard’s sound first? Do you know how many times I hear that sound now?”
“That’s… that’s the way it is here… I guess you’re from another country?”
Remy sighed deeply. If we go further here, it may show that the gates of the kingdom have come into operation after five years.
As they kissed beforehand, they came from the land of wizards.
“So what, you don’t want to crawl under that wizard?”
“I can’t! Shut up!”
“Conditional reflexes, very just. Why do you hate wizards so much?”
I’m choked up, so I can’t answer properly. The youngest dropped the locust.
Then he took the bottle from his waist and sprinkled it on his arm. The cuts on the palms disappear.
Locust, whose face was red with pain, replied with a smirk.
“Do you need a reason to dislike the subject of war? They helped us live in this rotten gutter. How dare you say such a thing!”
“Yeah, yeah. I know that. Let’s see this.”
“Is it a magic scroll? What kind of trick are you trying to do… hehehe!”
The youngest took the pressure again. His hatred for the wizard, engraved to the bone, made him suspicious of the documents the young boss had handed him to the end.
There might be some trick.
It was a kind of superstition for those who had been in hard rock for a long time.
How many harsh conditions in the world a wizard can suffer. The labyrinth is indeed a harsh place for a warrior.
Shaking and trembling, the Locust was guided to the private room, and tried to tear the scroll apart.
Even so, if you do that, you may be ejected in the next episode. That was difficult.
Most of his exile years have been spent here as a member of the organization. It was because he was lucky enough to be brought to a party by a senior when his age was not very close.
If you come back to that tutorial now, you won’t have the confidence to go to that kingdom alive.
Taking a deep breath, I looked at the scroll, no, the paperwork.
“Well?”
It was a kind of contract. Magic might be able to force it, but the content was also very normal.
An hour later, the Locust was shaking hands with the young Jevos.
It was too good a condition to refuse.
* * *
Everyone seems to cooperate easily, but that was simply because the conditions for subordinates were too good.
This is something close to a Ponzi scheme, to put it bluntly.
Right now, there is nothing to help Remy’s guild, [Angel’s Tears].
It’s only nominally under the umbrella, but there’s nothing to bring with you.
On the contrary, there were even organizations that predicted the profit, thinking that they might have a strong backbone.
In the end, they’re just punks who won’t have any contact with the rankers.
“By the way, what’s the name of the guild?”
“Is it so impressive that you were beaten while crying?”
“…is that something commemorative?”
“It’s a warning rather than a commemoration. A warning not to be rude…”
Remy tilted her head. The angel is smiling brightly again.
What is it that we need to be careful not to cause tears to come out again after flirting with the leader?
Like the slogan ‘I can do it’ hung up by the students.
He is a very difficult person to look at. That’s because you can’t keep up with the mindset.
Most seniors who are above a certain level are like this.
Rolling through the tutorial I learned how to tell the difference between a real old man and a fake old man.
The angels were real anyway.
And anyway, among the bosses of the surrounding organization, the real thing was there.
The Locust Guild Master who just changed his attitude and agreed to is one of them.
He acted like a minnow, and held hands like a minnow, but judged faster than the others.
It didn’t feel like I was throwing my life like a stubble for being stupid.
He was a man who had the confidence to take care of himself.
This was one of the things I learned to live, rather than a matter of how my eyes looked.
Even in the refugee camp of the tutorial, I had to decide who to go under.
There were many cases where people with simple, thoughtless lives were safer than people with such brains.
It’s a lesson I’ve learned from dying many times.
“Is this guy just a locust? I think he’s got to be judged dangerous too. There’s something to believe in.”
“I don’t know, but I know you well.”
The youngest smiles lovingly as he wipes the blood on his arm.
“I will. I’m very confident that I’m noticing.”
This was definitely an advantage and a talent. Maybe that’s why the leader ordered collaboration.
* * *
In just a week, the story of an organization that swept the northern hospital district spread.
Many were perplexed.
“I heard that a ranker raided and knocked them all down and declared.”
“A ranker? There’s not much money out there, isn’t it?”
“Do you know Nanda?”
In this slum, exiles, or just the fact that they came from exiles, can make you strong.
There are plenty of mercenaries to exploit if necessary.
Among them, a kind of privileged class, there were, of course, many who could be called freelancers.
Everyone watched.
It is not uncommon for such new organizations to emerge. And usually when something like that happens, you get a sense of work.
Money is as much a criterion for defining justice as power.
Among the dogs, there was a man who, according to Remy’s insight, spoke other words with his back tongue.
In the first place, the networks of the organizations that had shared the northern hospital area for nearly eight years could not be poor.
The Locust smiled after receiving a letter from an old man who had taken him by bus to this kingdom long ago.
It seemed that he remembered that he was here only after overturning the shadows of his memories.
[Is it true that there are rankers there?]
The king, who took control of the northern section of the slum, showed interest.
Because he always needed a soldier.
