73 – The Trial of Nothingness – 4
“Is this the adventurer’s guild?”
-I guess so.
The adventurer’s guild was an unexpectedly large building.
If the size of a general bar or general store is 1, the size of an adventurer’s guild seemed to be 5 no matter how low it was.
Jallang…
As I opened the door, which looked like something you might find in a western bar, I was greeted by the elegant sound of a bell.
The inside of the guild was full of people and very busy, but looking at their appearance and clothes, most of them seemed to be mercenaries.
“Oops? It’s the first time I’ve seen this face…”
“It’s the first time.”
As I approached the guild hall, a young woman in her early twenties greeted me with a smile.
It was probably the guide of this guild.
“I see. Then did you come to register for a guild or to entrust a request?”
“I would like to entrust you with a request.”
“Can you tell me what the request is?”
“I want you to deliver a letter to someone in Eos, the capital.”
“A request like that usually costs between 1 and 10 silver depending on the distance, but since it’s not that far from Eos, 1 silver should be enough. Have you prepared a letter?”
“No.”
“Then write it down on the table in the corner, because the surplus is stationery.”
“Thank you.”
According to Miss Receptionist’s words, I approached the table in the corner next to the billboard and picked up the quill I needed to write a letter.
But at that moment, I realized something tremendous.
“…Come to think of it, I can’t write…?”
The reason why I can communicate with people in another world without any problems is entirely thanks to the ability of [Transfer to Another World].
However, the effect of such a [Transfer to another world] Ability is only to translate, and if a situation arises where you have to write like now, the [Transfer to another world] Ability becomes useless.
“…Do I have to learn how to write this separately later..”
-Aren’t you unable to study the language anyway because of the effect of [Transfer to another world]?
“f*ck it.”
If you think about it, even if you tried to study to learn another world language, it was clear that the study book would be translated into Korean anyway.
It must have been given the ability to [Transfer to another world] For the convenience of the people of the other world, but it turned out to be poison.
-I want to help, but there is no way I can do anything in the current situation.
“Ah…What should I do with this?”
Originally, Veronica would have just written the letters, but now there are too many eyes to see.
If Veronica, a great beauty, suddenly appeared from the shadows, it was clear that people’s eyes would turn to us in an instant.
“Do you need any help?”
“…?”
At that time when I was struggling, someone spoke to me.
“Who are you?”
“hahahaha! I’m Dredd, an adventurer from the guild.”
From noble mtl dot com
The person who spoke to me was a very ordinary man with brown eyes and brown hair, who appeared to be in his late twenties.
‘[Emotion].’
[LV 34 Dread]
HP: 4126/4126
Mana: 1257/1257
Status: None
The level is…34. Compared to me, it’s a very low level.
“Can I help you if you can’t write?”
“Oh, really? Then may I ask you a favor?”
“Ha ha! Of course.”
Dread asked me, grinning broadly and picking up one of the quills lying loosely on the table.
“Could you tell me what it is?”
“Yes then…’Please deliver it to Boreas when the armor is complete.’ Please write.”
“Armor…Are you a mercenary?”
“No. I am not a mercenary.”
“Then are you a guard soldier? Or… A knight…?”
“I’m not a soldier, I’m not a knight. I’m just a traveler traveling the world.”
“Ohh…You must be a traveler.”
Dread wrote down the letter without hesitation while asking me questions, and in the end, the letter was completed within seconds.
“Here it is. But is it really okay to write it like this? There was no mention of asking where to send the armor.”
“It’s okay.”
I don’t know. Anyway, until I get the armor, I’m going to be in Boreas.
“First of all, thank you for your help.”
“hahahaha! It’s okay!”
I took Dredd’s letter from him and handed it to the receptionist, who was smiling brightly.
“Here’s the letter. The destination is Alberto Blacksmith’s.”
“Yes, yes, the request will probably be accepted by tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Now the task is over.
So now I’m going to have to stick to this city for at least a week… Is there anything else I can do in the meantime?
“Dread, you’re here. Let’s go get a request soon.”
“I’m sorry Buren, it’s been a while since I’ve been helping someone for a while.”
“Who else did you help? Aren’t people too kind?”
While I was seriously thinking about my current situation, Dredd, who helped me, and a man with red hair were talking.
Anyway, that red-haired man seemed to be Dredd’s colleague.
“What the heck, is that bastard Dredd here again?”
“Isn’t it boring… How can you join a guild on your own?”
Just then, three dreadlocked hulking men stood in front of Dredd, frowning openly in displeasure.
“Didn’t I tell you last time? Don’t join the guild anymore.”
“…Are you kidding me? I’m an adventurer from this guild. Who can get in if I can’t get in?”
“You know perfectly well that you don’t deserve to be here unless you get your b*tch b*tch out of the city, right?”
As the hunks huddled around Dredd and began taunting him, a red-haired man who appeared to be Dredd’s ally intervened between them and the dreads with a twist on his expression.
“What are you doing? Do you want to search?”
“Buren, are you covering that guy again?”
“Dread didn’t do anything wrong, so what are you covering?”
“Yeah, he didn’t do anything wrong. But his little brother is the problem!”
“Don’t swear at Illyana!”
Um… I don’t know what the situation is, but what’s certain is that the current situation is quite interesting.
Originally, watching a fight is the best entertainment, as there is a saying that it is a scene of unstoppable beauty across the river.
-Still, didn’t that man help the king?
‘That’s right, but it’s a bit too much for me to intervene.’
Currently, I am a complete outsider in this adventurer’s guild. If you intervene to stop a fight, you might end up in trouble.
So let’s just take a look. If it looks dangerous, then help is enough.
“Illyana? What name does the monster have!”
“The monster has four faces!”
“What the f*ck?!”
What is it? Are you really fighting?
Honestly, I thought it was going to end after just arguing, but it seems like it’s a different world, fists come before mouths.
“[Power up]!”
“You really want to try it?!”
“Look for it, you f*cking bastard!!”
First of all, it seems that he was in the late 20th level, judging from the [Emotion], He was the first to blow the first bread.
Dread is level 34 and Buren, a red-haired man, is 38. It would be impossible to win no matter how many pages there were…
“Kuhhh?!”
As expected, the big guy who blew the first bread, as I expected, fell ridiculously to the guild floor after being counter-punched by Buren.
Anyway, that guy named Buren seems to be pretty strong.
Even though she was level 38, she was far superior to Ellie, who was level 41, in terms of speed and strength.
“That’s fighting again…”
“Why is Buren helping Dredd…”
“Just pretend you don’t know, don’t get into a fight.”
Listening to the whispers of the people around him, it seemed that Dredd was not a very welcome character in this guild.
Your personality seems to be okay… Maybe there’s something wrong somewhere?
“Come on, you bastards!”
“f*ck…Wait and see! How long do you think you guys can stay here?!”
“There are a lot of talkative puppies to run away from.”
In the end, the big guys who had been quarreling with each other spewed lines of third-rate villains and disappeared as if they were running away from the guild.
If you’re going to do that, then why did you start a fight?
“Kyaaak-tup! Shibalums are going to fall in love and bounce while playing pranks..”
“Mr. Buren! Don’t spit in the guild!”
“Damn it! Let’s go to Dread!”
“Oh wait..!”
Ignoring the guide’s advice not to spit, Buren took Dredd out of the guild.
“Again, Buren got into trouble… He’s one of the most talented people in our guild, but he’s being treated like that because he’s taking care of Dredd… I feel sorry for him too.”
“Never mind, let’s have a drink.”
It must have been quite common for those guys to fight in the guild, so people soon stopped caring and started doing their own thing.
“Oops…You have to clean again…”
“Hey there.”
“Yes?”
I spoke to the guide who came out to wipe Buren’s spittle.
In order to know the situation inside the original building, it is best to ask the person who works in the building, such as the receptionist.
“Is something wrong with Mr. Dredd?”
“Yes? Suddenly, what is that…”
“Because the atmosphere in the guild isn’t very welcoming to Mr. Dredd. You seem kind enough…”
“Ah…That’s it…”
The receptionist started to tell me something with a sad look on her face.
“Actually, just a year ago, Mr. Dredd was the most popular person in our guild. Until that incident.”
“…The case?”
“Yes, Mr. Dredd has a younger sister, and the incident happened because of him.”
Obviously, when the guys were arguing, the word ‘younger brother’ was brought up.
I’m sure the big guys called Dredd’s brother a ‘monster’…
“A year ago, Mr. Dredd’s younger sister, Ms. Illyana, was kidnapped by a criminal organization. At that time, Mr. Dredd took adventurers and guards with whom he was acquainted with in order to save his sister’s life, and finally I was trying to find a criminal organization’s stronghold and get into it.”
“…? Isn’t it just a touching story of a poor little sister being kidnapped and saved by her brother?”
“If you listen to this far, everyone will think that way. The problem started after this.”
The guide continued with a pale expression.
“By the time I took over at the headquarters of the organization, all the members and the captain were already dead. And Mr. Dredd’s sister, Ms. Illyana, was sitting on top of the members’ corpses, expressionless.”
“…So that Illyana-san wiped out her organization by herself?”
“Yes, plus the average level of the members at the time was in the early 20’s. Considering that Ms. Illyana was level 10, something really absurd happened. Thanks to that, Ms. Illyana has been called a ‘monster’ ever since and became an object of fear. That’s Okay.”
…But is that what she is called a monster …?
When I was at level 10, I also caught Hellhound and Shadow Tarantula, which are level 30 monsters, by myself. Is it that difficult to rob a criminal organization?
Isn’t that Veronica?
-I don’t know.
‘Why don’t you know? There must have been a time when your level was low.’
-I used to catch dragons even when my level was low. Never been weak
‘…….’
What kind of life have you lived?
“Actually, I don’t know…I can’t say for sure because I didn’t see the situation myself, but Illyana-san isn’t a monster…”
“Hmm…”
I’m curious.
What kind of abilities does a woman named Illyana have that allow her to annihilate members of a much higher level than herself?
“Thanks for letting me know. Then, if there’s a good inn around here, could you introduce it to me?”
“An inn…? If you go outside the guild and go straight to the right, you’ll find an inn. It’s cheap and has good facilities, so I recommend it.”
First of all, the content has nothing to do with me, so let’s not worry too much about it.
I was very curious about who Illyana was, but I wasn’t interested in her enough to want to find out for myself.
‘It’s night soon, so let’s sleep at the inn. I’m tired.’
-Is dinner okay?
‘I don’t know what to do. Bothered.’
Recently, I feel like my desire for appetite is slowly disappearing.
Isn’t it because [Baal Zebub] Only eats things that are not very tasty?
-I’m worried. When appetite, one of the three major human needs, weakens, other desires will become stronger…
‘..Maybe that’s why he seems more tired…?’
-Hmm…
For some reason, I’ve been sleeping a lot lately.
So let’s go in and get some sleep.
