Episode 34
“Aigoo, hyungniiiim!”
“Dark black… … .”
In the basement of the South Central Office of Rowtown.
Five or six adult men gathered around one prison cell and were crying.
“How did this happen… … .”
“We should have taken care of him better… … .”
The bodies of the crying people were full of large and small scars.
A guard who hadn’t seen it from the side grumbled.
“star… … . What are thugs making such a fuss about?”
“My older brother is different from other thugs!”
“A gangster is a gangster, so are you a bully?”
“Your brother didn’t take money from the people without care!”
A thug with a tattoo of black thorns on his shoulder shouted.
Blackthorn.
After being beaten by Kindorhan, it was the gang that forcibly entered under his command.
“My brother only robbed dirty rich guys and other gangs!”
“Right, what do you know!”
“This, these children… … . Won’t you shut up?”
The soldiers raised their spears and raised their voices.
An instant moment.
It was then that Fafnil arrived.
“Get out of the way, it’s a private visit.”
“That guy… … .”
“… … .”
The man who beat them up.
The gang quickly fell silent.
“Get out, get out!”
“Get out quickly!”
When the soldiers drove those gangs out, the inside of the prison instantly fell silent.
Only then did Fafnir sit cross-legged in front of the cage where Kindorhan was imprisoned.
“… … .”
There was silence for a moment.
It was Kindorhan who woke up first.
“What are you? What kind of hidden job is that… … .”
“I heard from above that you must be locked up here for at least six months.”
They created criminal organizations and levied protection fees on ordinary people.
In 6 months, it was cheap enough.
“Connecting for six months and spending time in this prison… … It would be better to cassock and then grow it again.”
“Now they even do teabagging, b*tch b*tch… … .”
Kindorhan grinding his teeth.
No wonder.
The foundation and organization he had built up to now have been thoroughly dismantled by Fafnir.
He had to be confined here for six months, so in fact his game life was over here.
It was a good time to lay the bait.
“I will make a suggestion.”
Fafnil said.
“Isn’t that a threat?”
Kindorhan’s answer was sharp.
“If you were going to make a proposal in the first place, you should have done it before you smashed the Umiganpa. no work.”
Doesn’t it mean to hit first and then come downstairs now?
Usually, when you receive a negotiation offer, it is correct to consider the appropriate profit or loss, but in this case, you cannot accept it even if it makes you feel bad.
“Don’t waste your time and get out. No, keep wasting it. He must have come to laugh at me anyway.”
Various swear words continued, but Fafnir continued to speak calmly.
“First, two things are corrected. The first time I destroyed the Umiganpa was because you blocked me while I was carrying out the quest, and the second time I came here is not to waste time, but to give you another chance.”
‘opportunity?’
“It’s not even funny… … .”
“The opportunity is right. If I leave, you have to log on here for six months and stare at ants, or you have to cassock and start over.”
Even in Horizon, if you commit a crime and get caught, you go to jail.
NPCs are for decades, or for a lifetime, depending on the case.
Adventurers and players are not to that extent, but depending on the nature of the crime, they are imprisoned for up to three years.
1 year in game time, about 4 months in reality.
But it’s not usually time.
Because I only hit the time I am connected, I have to keep my eyes open in prison without moving for 4 months.
In a word, it is like 4 months of prostitution, but here you have to pay even the monthly fee.
In the end, he could not stand the frustration and deleted the character.
Not only is the time spent growing up until now wasted, but it also costs a lot of money to fill a new character slot, so people were trying to develop their characters well.
“joy… … . So what?”
“I told you, let’s make a deal with me.”
Fafnir continued.
“If you go on like this anyway, you’ll be a small gang leader, and you won’t be an opponent of a really big mafia or criminal organization.”
“that… … .”
“Even I, who are of the same class, can’t win, so do you think it’s possible to match those guys?”
Fafnir said calmly.
Of course it’s all lies.
Kindorhan, he becomes the future ruler of the night streets around the world of Horizon.
‘Kindorhan, I never thought I would meet such a big man.’
The best game by luck.
In the original novel, Kindorhan was a tycoon who appeared steadily until the second half.
Even with some influence.
‘The starlight blacksmith is far more powerful than Sihyeon… … . In fact, I should consider him the strongest among the names I’ve met.’
It’s not a prediction, it’s a definite fact.
As such, Kindorhan’s hidden class had high potential.
‘What’s even more surprising is that Kindorhan is still only about level 70.’
other names.
Grand Mage Hope, Mine Black Prince, and Alchemist Seorn have already been leading from the very beginning.
Even though I started slowly enough to be at this level now, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with them in the future.
Calculated, it comes to the conclusion that the growth potential and speed of a man named Kindorhan are high.
‘It’s a story that it’s full of value to use and attract in the long run.’
Fafnir becomes the pinnacle, and in order to win the flush, you have to overcome numerous enemies and difficulties.
The more allies to help with this, the better.
“under.”
Kindorhan snorted.
“Yeah, aren’t you trying to coax after all?”
“Anyway, you’d rather come out and do something rather than being locked up here for half a year.”
“… … .”
“If I delete it and grow it again, how can I be sure it will work like this time?”
“I have the know-how… … .”
“There will be a big event coming soon, can you keep up with it?”
“… … !”
Kindorhan’s fluff stood up.
“what… … . is there a big one how do you know that… … .”
“If you cooperate, I will teach you. From tissue reconstruction, to further information and growth.”
“Ugh… … .”
Kindorhan paused for a moment before asking.
“how?”
“That’s a trade secret.”
“What is the price? If it’s a slave contract or a subordinate, I’ll cassac and raise it again under any condition.”
“No way.”
Fafnil shook his head.
“Let’s establish a long-term sponsorship relationship. You are the host, I am the sponsor.”
“Is that the end?”
“There are only two conditions to be met.”
“Listen and decide.”
“First, as a sponsor, I will provide military funds to rebuild the organization, so I will pay you back the amount later.”
“… … Without interest?”
“Without interest. 6 months later.”
It’s okay, no, to be honest, it’s so good that it’s like a charity project.
“second is?”
“After paying the amount in one year, you will sign one more contract with me.”
“Ha, as expected.”
“However, contracts are concluded with mutual consent. If it is too much for the circumstances, you can replace it with a 3-year sponsorship maintenance clause.”
“Mutual consent?”
“There will be no external pressure or threats. I promise you.”
“… … .”
That’s enough to think about.
It’s a bit of a loss, but considering that I’m coming out of this prison, it might be more profitable than I thought.
“Give me time to think.”
At Kindorhan’s words, Fafnir spread his five fingers.
“5 minutes. I can’t stay long because I’m paying a monthly fee.”
“… … .”
Kindorhan crossed his arms.
‘For now, the first contract must be trying to gain my trust.’
The fact that he made such a proposal to himself, who had no dog hair, only seemed to have such an intention.
Perhaps the real purpose is the second condition that follows.
‘If I refuse, the sponsorship period will only increase, but even so, these conditions… … .’
For a moment, lightning flashed in Kindorhan’s head.
‘Are you sure you have the confidence to earn my trust? Are you sure you’ll accept it?’
From noble mtl dot com.
Confidence that you will receive an offer in a year from now.
At this point, it means that Gan is either an overboard idiot, or a guy who really has something.
‘At this point, I’m starting to wonder what the hell he’s doing.’
Kindorhan took a quick glance at Fafnir.
A necromancer or something I don’t know.
Now that I have become dog hair, I have only one option, but apart from that, I am curious about the author.
“… … Okay, let’s make a contract.”
Kindorhan, who came to a conclusion, replied.
Gradually, Fafnir smiled and took out the scroll.
“Then write this right away.”
“that… … what?”
“The contract of the soul. It is used by black magicians and demons.”
Horizon also has a document that can be called a contract.
Although there are cases where contracts are made according to the laws of the in-game organization, just like in reality.
Contracts made directly through magic were much more popular.
The Soul Contract you just brought is of the highest quality.
It was a devil’s contract in which the character was deleted as it was in case of non-fulfillment of the contract, and the items and reputation were also reduced.
“The amount of support is 30 million won in cash. Is it not enough?”
“No, enough.”
“Okay, then let’s proceed with the contract.”
“Getting out of prison for a 30 million won six-month interest-free loan. And one more contract after that… … . Is this all?”
“okay.”
There was no condition that the organization should grow further than in the past.
Even if Fafnir didn’t say anything, Kindorhan would do it anyway.
“Okay, then the contract is established.”
“I will sign it too.”
As soon as the two signed, the contract turned into a blue-black flame and was consumed.
[The soul contract has been signed.]
-Get Kindorhan out of prison (0/1)
– 300 gold lump sum loan to Kindorhan (0/1)
“The signature is complete.”
Fafnir stood up and gestured.
“Then shall we go out?”
“… … ?”
“I already paid bail. If you want more, you can stay.”
“… … !”
‘So you’re saying you’re sure you’ll accept it?’
Kindorhan’s expression changed subtly to express.
* * *
“older brother!”
“How did this happen?”
When he came out of the prison, his subordinates greeted Kindorhan.
“This man paid bail.”
“But brother… … .”
“this person is… … .”
“Okay then, bro, that’s what we promised.”
While the gangs hesitate.
Fafnir held out the prepared gold coin.
“here.”
“… … !”
“3, 300 gold!”
“How can I get that much… … .”
A chatter broke out among the gang.
Since 100,000 won per gold, it was 30 million won in cash.
“The deadline is between six months and one year. Call me anytime in six months and I’ll get your money.”
At Fafnil’s words, Kindorhan also nodded.
If you deliberately do not receive the money, the penalty goes to Fafnil.
Since the conditions were made clear just in case, I didn’t have to worry about deliberately avoiding them like a loan shark.
“Are you sure there is no interest? I can pay it back when I want to.”
“If I don’t like it, should I reflect the exchange rate?”
“Oh no! are you okay.”
Kindorhan quickly shook his head.
Fafnir looked at it and thought.
‘Is this as planned?’
Currently, Kindorhan is a force, and most of it is in a state of ruin.
Gangpae is the nature of the job, and if it collapses, it becomes unusable due to the seizure of the job characteristics and money.
A job that was going well until yesterday, but could become a bottom beggar in an instant!
However, it was the strong defeat that made it so easy to grow.
‘It’s almost like a weed, because it can grow again as long as it has money.’
Perhaps in six months, he will become a tycoon in this alley as well as the entire dark district.
‘If I could use a guy like that, my growth would be much faster.’
Anyway, if it’s like this, the dark house won’t be a problem.
Fafnir muttered as he looked at the distant party.
“Then we should start exploring the real sewers now.”
Fafnir stopped by general stores and bought various items needed for the expedition.
Camping items such as knives, rope, flints, whetstones, repair kits, torches and food.
In a big city, I want to say something, but rather, it was more necessary because it was a big city.
‘The sewer here is different from other places, so it can’t be helped.’
The capital that has existed since before the millennial kingdom of Baran.
Numerous ups and downs pile up on top of the ancient ruins, and the sewer system becomes almost labyrinthine. dangerous again.
“Have you heard of Count Somme? It is a family that was unjustly exterminated for being involved in a treason case two hundred years ago, but there are rumors that the treasure of that family remains in the sewer. Where are you? well… … . One of the beggars on Belington Street found a pearl necklace.”
-You have obtained a clue about the treasure of Count Somme.
“Sewers are dangerous… … . About a month ago, on Boutris Street, I clearly saw a giant crocodile 3m long passing through the bars.”
– Acquired information on the giant crocodile ghost story.
“Some time ago, soldiers came from the sewers with five or six skulls. Some of the mercenaries must have gotten lost and couldn’t find it. If you go into the sewer too, be especially careful in the south.”
While preparing, I was able to hear information from NPCs in the shop.
It’s a small rumor, but if you collect it, it’s a clue to the quest!
“Now then, to Hilde-sama… … .”
Fafnil paused for a moment.
The sewers are dirty and full of outlaws.
If I had to, I would have to run away alone, but I was a bit reluctant to take someone close to me to a place like that.
“But I can’t call Bane, who is hunting orcs… … .”
Going alone is too risky.
After thinking for a while, Fafnir suddenly made a blank expression.
“Wait, what am I doing?”
It reminded me of thinking about the right answer right next to me.
Fafnir grinned.
“I’m really, I’m dumber than I thought.”
