159 Negotiations (1)
the evening of the 17th.
All the newly formed teams had a meeting.
By the way, the meeting place is a three-story pub that just opened. Originally, I was going to meet at Mr. Bear’s shop, but Mr. Bear refused.
It’s also very sharp.
[Hmm, it’s not good to talk about secrets in our shop.]
[Okay. Anyway, this time we will talk mainly about distribution rather than exploration plan—.]
[Stop, there is a place you know, so let’s go there.]
Well, I thought I’d increase the sales a bit.
What kind of married man’s habit is it to say that he hates it even though he hates it?
I mean, this guy is really funny too.
“Am I the last one?”
After that, Raven arrived and everyone gathered.
“I’m not sorry, so please sit down.”
“I came on time, so why am I sorry?”
Uh, but… … .
Why are you being so mean today? Oh, is it because of the steamship suppression? First of all, is it a place to meet strangers?
‘He’s really stupid in this kind of place.’
I thought maybe I had come on time on purpose, but I didn’t get it out of my mouth.
Not yet before painting.
“Then let’s briefly introduce each other.”
After that, after ordering some dishes and drinks, we had time to burn our faces.
It started with Ainar.
“Pnelin’s second daughter, Ainard! Nice to meet you!”
“Hey, Ainar? It seems too short… … .”
“Should I do more… … ? sorry. It’s my first time in a place like this… … .”
Ainar scratched his head at Misha’s point of being close for a few days and felt sorry for him.
But no one pointed it out.
Hey, Ainar knows the whole team.
Raven and I went to Blood Citadel together, and Uncle Bear met me after visiting the store a few days ago.
“Mr Einar… You really are.”
“Thanks for the compliment. Sorcerer, it seems you are still the same.”
“… … .”
Anyway, in the end, I introduced myself on behalf of Ainar. What level of explorer he is, what role he will play on the team, etc.
“Then there are two prosecutors?”
After my briefing was over, Mister Bear gave a brief remark, and I was about to answer it.
Ainar intervened as if pointing out an error.
“Urakburak, I am a warrior, not a swordsman.”
“My name is Urikfried… … . No, as I said back then, can you please call me Abman?”
“… … I’ll try It’s difficult to pronounce.”
“Is it difficult to pronounce?”
“But is there any problem?”
Uncle Bear looked like he had a lot to say, but ended the conversation with just a deep sigh.
He seems to have slowly learned how to talk to a barbarian.
It’s best not to talk.
“It’s just a meeting with you. I heard a lot about it from Bjorn. Abman Urikfried.”
“This is Arua Raven. Are you Indian?”
“Oh, I am Misha Karlstein.”
After that, the remaining three exchanged greetings on their own and exchanged conversations about their respective roles professionally.
With this, half of the first meeting is over.
The dish I ordered came out just in time, so we continued the conversation while having a meal with alcohol.
“This place is pretty clean and the food is delicious.”
“Even if my wife cooked this much… … .”
“Is Urikfried married?”
“Oh, I didn’t say that. It has been three years now.”
“Bjorn, this is squid, would you like to try it? It has a very unique taste.”
The overall conversation atmosphere was friendly.
Until the meal was almost over and the topic about the labyrinth appeared.
“By the way, let’s get to the point now, shall we?”
“Yeah, that would be nice. Bjorn, how are you going to distribute the loot?”
When the money issue came to the surface, everyone looked at them differently.
To be precise, except for Ainar.
“Can’t we just get what Bjorn gives us?”
“It must be, Mr. Einar. But we are not like that.”
A teddy bear with a quick wizard and a family to protect.
Both were good people in private, but when the time came, they openly spoke out to defend their rights.
“Even if Misha is like that, I think there’s a problem with receiving the same rate as Ainar. Aren’t we the most lagging behind?”
“Urak Burak… ! You, you were looking at me like that! Mi, I believed it!!! I thought of you as a precious colleague—!!!”
“Be quiet. Bjorn will take care of that. huh? Are you good?”
“Ugh… … !”
Ainar shivered with a sense of betrayal, and Misha, who was next to him, luckily closed her mouth in time to make it quiet.
But because I’m so sad, maybe it’s hard for even Mister Bear to open his mouth a little.
“Hmm… … .”
Uncle Bear coughed and avoided his gaze.
And then, Raven naturally took over the baton and began to appeal to her.
“I don’t really care if it’s Mr. Einar or Mr. Karlstein. I’m a wizard, right?”
“… … Tell me.”
“With me, you can sell purified water in test tubes. I’ve also learned ‘Upper Distortion’, so even if the by-product is the goal, it’s a lot easier to get.”
“You mean you want to raise the distribution?”
“yes. I should get 30%.”
After all, it’s tough from the start.
Dwalky accepted the even distribution with a smile hahahaha.
“… … 30% is too much.”
“It’s a lot. All the seniors say they get that much.”
Hey, where are you going to catch Hogu?
Certainly, in the labyrinth, wizards are treated well.
Assuming they are equal to each other.
“Those seniors must have joined a team with a lower level than themselves.”
“Um, are you saying it’s not me?”
Raven is a level 6 mage, so it should be treated as a level 5 explorer.
Considering that I and Misha are ranked 6th and Ainar is ranked 7th, it is clearly a higher rank.
However… … .
“That’s it, you’ll find out when you explore.”
I am confident
No matter what the grade, there will never be a composition in which we unilaterally receive carry.
“Isn’t that why you thought so too, so you wanted to join this team?”
“Well, it is.”
Surprisingly, Raven easily admitted it.
But was this all a stepping stone to the next step?
“Still, Karlstein and Einar are less important than the three of us, right?”
“It will come in handy soon.”
“yes. I think so. one year… … . No, at the earliest, within a few months, it will be a part of it. But why do I have to suffer until then?”
Raven later suggested that we set the ratio again when two people could confidently claim their share, and I accepted it to some extent.
“The ratio remains the same at 20%. Instead, I give 40% of the special loot obtained by magic.”
“like.”
A limited percentage bonus to magic loot on equal distribution.
In the end, Raven took the conditions that a wizard in a team of five would normally receive.
Once one is finished.
Now all that was left was Mr. Bear.
“I will take 5% off Einar and give it to you.”
In fact, considering that I am a leader, giving an extra 10% is not enough… … .
“Because I haven’t even done my first expedition yet. For now, I am not satisfied with that.”
Uncle Bear meekly agreed.
To be honest, I’d be a bit shy to claim it.
He is a guide, but his search ability is zero.
“Then the matter is settled.”
Thus, the final distribution ratio was determined.

Me 20%.

Missha 20%
Ainar 15%
Raven 20% (40% special loot)

Mister Bear 25%
Oh, by the way, this is limited to general loot.
It was agreed to divide equally what was obtained, such as by killing predators.
‘Who, I’m going to die.’
I think you can see why explorers are so hung up on promotions.
I need to get a 5th grade or something.
If all three of us were in 5th grade, they wouldn’t have talked about the distribution.
‘… … Well, this is not within the expected range.’
I took a sip of the drink and erased my regrets.
In my heart, I thought that the two of us were even more greedy, but didn’t everyone protect the good?
If I had been on a different team rather than the leader, I would have been more blatantly trying to profit.
‘Once the most important hurdle has been crossed.’
As long as the distribution fee negotiations are over, the team formation is almost like a final decision. There are still countless issues to be discussed after that.
“Okay, what about the team? When will the team register?”
“I will do it tomorrow.”
“Then I can’t go. I thought it would be like this, so I wrote a power of attorney. Please go and do it without me.”
“… … Do it.”
Starting with simple administrative tasks, we had to discuss all kinds of issues together.
“Are you going to collect the team money separately? Or do you only harvest as much as you need from time to time?”
“I’m going to do it by collecting a certain amount of money every month.”
“How much?”
How much money do you make for your team?
If there is a shortage of public funds, how will it be financed?
Do you use the current distribution fee even when entering a rift or discovering a mysterious treasure in a labyrinth?
Whether or not you acknowledge what you have achieved through your own abilities.
Are there any incentives, etc.
‘We didn’t even do this when the team was half penny… … .’
When I came to my senses, it was just me and Raven, and we were talking diligently.
Drooling-!!
Ainar fell asleep with his neck broken.
Uncle Bear drank alcohol alone, as if enjoying the freedom he had gained in a long time, and Misha opened her notebook and wrote down a pen.
Not taking notes or anything like that… … .
It’s simply a hobby. Do you feel that your hands keep getting itchy because you can’t cook?
I started drawing a few days ago.
“… … What did you draw?”
“Oh, nothing.”
“Oak?”
“Fufufu!! yes, orc. Oak. Qukk.”
It was an unpleasant reaction, but Raven called me without asking me in detail.
“Hey Yandel, we’re still talking… … .”
Oh, it was.
After a few hours of using my head, I lose concentration. I don’t know if it’s an important topic, but it’s even more so since we’ve decided on miscellaneous things.
Soon after, I checked my watch and opened my mouth.
“Raven, let’s just do this for today.”
“yes? But there are still things left to be sorted out.”
“… … organize?”
“There are a few things to keep in mind before creating a team. I had it set up before I came.”
When asked how many left, Raven replied that there were 31 items left.
‘… … Not even half of what you’ve done so far?’
Thinking about the remaining topics, I was already bored and wanted to die, but due to his personality, it would be helpful if he did it first.
“It was still too late. We’ll see each other next time.”
“okay.”
I made an appointment two days later and sold out.
Somehow, both body and mind were exhausted.
I actually thought I had a personality type similar to that of wizards.
‘… … Seeing the real thing, you will know for sure.’
I’m glad I chose the barbarian.
***
The morning after the first meeting.
The four gathered and visited the Explorers’ Guild.
He also submitted the power of attorney that he received yesterday and officially completed team registration.
“The team name is Bjorn. Aren’t you too rude?”
Ainar murmured dissatisfied, but I just did it as usual.
Tim Banpoon’s official name was simply ‘Murad’.
In most cases, they just write the leader’s last name or first name.
“You can change it later if you think of something suitable, so don’t be too disappointed.”
“Hey, can I think about it too?”
“There is nothing that can’t be done.”
“Really? I will think hard!”
Anyway, I’m sure you’ll forget that something like that happened in a few hours, but… … .
it doesn’t matter if not
The team name doesn’t matter.
“Abman, what are you going to do?”
“I have to go back to the store. My wife is waiting for me.”
“Right.”
As soon as the team was formed, Uncle Bear left, and we simply ate outside and returned to the dorm.
Well, now all three of us live here.
I am number 201, Ainar is number 202. Room 207 is right across from Missha.
“Oh, Bjorn. Do you have something in your mailbox?”
“post?”
Upon checking the inside of Misha’s words, there was a letter.
A letter bearing the seal of the Lesser Atlas.
‘Are you sure you have an appointment with the Yongin people?’
I quickly went into the room and checked the contents.
But what else is this?
[He will call you.]
When I opened it, there was only one sentence written on it.
The modifier of the sender, ‘2nd Holy Knight Commander Paral Krovitz’, is longer than the content.
‘what?’
As he tilted his head, the letter burned and turned into ashes in an instant. Thank you for paying attention to security as I asked, but… … .
Isn’t this difficult for me to understand?
“… … .”
Once in bed, I gathered my thoughts.
Who the ‘he’ that Paal Krovitz was talking about was roughly predictable. The head of the Yongin clan, you must be talking about the Ancient Dragon.
But there’s one thing I just don’t understand.
‘Are you going to call me?’
It would have been easier to understand if I had just written down the meeting time and place. Because I was the one who asked you to arrange an appointment in the most confidential way possible.
‘How did you call it? Are you going to come back and make an appointment?’
It was a time when I was lying on the bed with that thought in mind.
The blue magic circle was drawn on the wooden floor.
“yes?”
Without even judging this, the magic circle radiated a brilliant light.
And when you wake up.
‘It’s not a summons to another world.’
I was in an unfamiliar place.
The place is a structure reminiscent of a Greek temple supported by huge columns.
‘It’s a dragon temple.’
I quickly cleared up the current situation.
‘Is it a term for space movement series? Did the letter act as a medium?’
The situation was barely understood.
not bad.
This way, it will be easier to maintain security.
“I am not surprised.”
Soon I looked straight ahead.
The scales sprouting from the skin and the eyes reminiscent of reptiles.
A man with all the characteristics of Yongin sat on the throne and looked down at me. For reference, the back of the throne was surrounded by fog, and dozens of eyelights glistened beyond it.
Are they all Yongin?
So, how many people did you call?
‘… … Well, with the color of your eyes.’
A different kind of pressure from living is transmitted.
heavenly. In other words, it feels like you are facing another species you can never defeat.
‘Dragon Fear’.
If it’s Yongin, it’s passively equipped.
‘Write that on me… … .’
I smiled bitterly.
Well, I guess I know what they’re trying to do.
“You know? You are not the first barbarian to visit here. However… … .”
“… … .”
“If you come back alive, you will be the first.”
It is a kind of steam suppression.
Due to the nature of their race, there would be no need to steal the dragon’s sword from the benefactor without fair compensation, but I think it was necessary to kill the spirit.
As a barbarian, I don’t know what kind of unreasonable demands I might make.
“… … .”
As the dragon pierce grew stronger, a cold sweat broke out.
But so what?

My hair didn’t grow without incident to the extent that I was sweating a little.
‘… … Why do people here like to fight so much?’
Thanks to you, it became clear what I had to do right now.
I never dreamed that I would be doing this before I even made a name for it, but… … .
It would be a time-saving way to let me know.
Using Dragon Fear to subdue the steamship or whatever.
“Behel—raa!!”
that it’s all in vain
