45. compensation

Sophie, like Eloa, shed tears as soon as she saw Doyoon. It seems that leaving Do-yoon behind and crossing the road alone has been bothering him a lot.
After he comforted Sophie, the goods sent from the royal family of Lockenmeyer arrived at the house.
“To the unknown benefactor of Lockenmeyer. Are you saying?”
A long wooden box with an antique look. It was the javelin that the lord had mentioned, kept in the royal treasury in Lockenmeyer.
“I didn’t expect to open the royal treasury with just one small battle.”
“That means that the city was an important city for Lockenmeyer. The opponents were also Satan’s imps. Although there were very few of them.”
But even taking that into account, the reward was a bit generous. This was the result of the influence of the lord of the city and the message that Lockenmeyer wanted to have a good relationship with the World Tree.
Due to this incident, the reputation of the world tree has risen a lot.
The name of Do-yoon himself, who actually protected the city, was not known, and only his affiliation was revealed, so all the spotlights were directed to the World Tree.
This was Doyun’s intention, and Eloah was deeply moved by the warrior’s deep consideration.
‘It’s still too early to make a name for myself.’
At the very least, it should be at the level of being able to beat the Finance Minister, who is weakened by the Holy Stone.
If Do-yoon’s reputation spreads rapidly, the fact that he is a boss monster killer will quickly surface. If that happens, of course the Demon King’s side will make another move.
Of course, you can’t hide it forever. Although Skeletonia is focusing on concealing information, Cradle’s cadets have already graduated and spread out. It was only a matter of time before the existence of the boss monster killer became known.
‘Before that, I have to get stronger as quickly as possible.’
However, Doyoon felt somewhat helpless. No matter how quickly he became stronger, it was all useless considering that the corps commander’s reaper would come forward.
‘I should have killed him then…’
The strongest assassin on the continent and the commander of the Demon King’s army. Its majesty was such that even Enoch in his heyday could not be killed and missed in a one-on-one situation.
‘I’ve only competed with him once, but…’
Undoubtedly. He is the strongest among the corps commanders, and the single strongest person next to the Demon King in the Demon King’s army.
In fact, no matter how fast Doyoon grows, it was absolutely impossible for him to become strong enough to compete with the Shinigami in the Holy Stone until it was revealed that he was the boss monster killer.
‘…something, number is needed.’
Later, when the god of death attacks Doyoon. At that time, I needed a number to survive somehow.
That too, soon.
“Hero?”
Doyoon, who had stopped thinking, turned his head and looked at Eloa.
“Uh… are you sick? There was no answer when I called…”
“no. I have something to think about for a while. Never mind.”
Hearing his answer, Eloah nodded. From long ago, the warrior often fell into contemplation alone.
“Open it, quick!”
“Yes, yes.”
Doyoon smiled once at Eloah, who was more excited than me, and then opened the wooden box.
Inside were two javelins that glowed with rust.
“yes? Two bags?”
“uh…! Is this by any chance? Wind sister window!”
Doyoon confirmed the item information through [Seventh Sense].
[Typhoon Spear Anemos, Wind Spear Aer]
(Anemos and Aer are the names of the largest typhoons and hurricanes that have existed since recorded history, respectively. They are sister winds that diverged from the same wind on the same day, but Anemos flowed into the sea and became the largest typhoon, and Aer It flowed onto land and became the largest hurricane ever.
Anemos, the greatest wind of all, destroyed a country in ancient times, and Aer, the most powerful wind of all, took the life of the green dragon Hetzling.
These two spears were found in the center of Anemos and Aer, and were called ‘Wrath of the Wind God’ in ancient times.
When Anemos throws, it creates a large and wide wind that sweeps away the area.
Aer’s javelin creates a powerful, narrow wind that pierces through the target.)
Long spears with a longer length are penetrating Aer. The relatively short one was the explosive Anemos.
Eloah, who had read the explanation with the appraisal order, jumped up and down, saying it was a jackpot. Doyoon also read the effect of the window and raised his expectations.
“Hero! Look at this! These spears are one of the most famous items in the Lockenmeyer Report! If you throw a javelin, it’s something that is recognized across the continent!”
I don’t know the exact power yet, but seeing that Elroa likes it that much, it seems to be quite a good thing.
“Wow… I never thought they would give me such a good thing…!”
“I’m sorry I declined your invitation.”
The royal family of Lockenmeyer had originally invited Doyoon to the palace. However, Doyoon refused.
As I said before, he didn’t want his fame to spread right away.
Of course, he didn’t just reject the invitation of the king of a country, and the Skeletonian royal family, who heard the reason, spoke for him. Because Doyoon was a very, very valuable talent in his country. Didn’t he even have a history of being assassinated once?
The world tree guild leader Eloah and the lord of the city saved by Doyoon also stepped forward. In addition, Heineken learned how to hear this news and even made a direct phone call with King Lockenmeyer to give him strength. Apparently, the power of being a hero in this era was far greater than expected.
It was a very loud action for barely refusing an invitation. However, in conclusion, the royal family of Lockenmire panicked and withdrew, and many people from neighboring countries who heard the news with them planted the perception that the apostle Do-yoon was a hidden strongman who exerted great influence behind the scenes.
Unintentionally, an atmosphere was created in which various powerful people could not touch Doyoon carelessly.
‘Even though I feel a little sorry for Lockenmayer… It’s a good thing to be more free from the power structure.’
Instead, he decided to show his sincerity to them later in the World Tree. Anyway, since Lockenmayer had done a good job for Doyun, it was uncomfortable for both sides to go on like this.
Eloa rather found it sweet.
The heads of the country’s best guilds, Eloah and Millaine, are capable people. Rather, they will turn this happening into an opportunity to deepen the relationship between Lockenmeyer and the World Tree through apologies, gifts, and communication.
“Hero, don’t pay attention to trivial things like this! Since the hero is also a member of our guild, we will take care of the rest!”
“okay. You are strong, our Eloah.”
“Hehe.”
When Doyoon stroked her hair, Elroa smiled.
At the chick’s boast, Doyoon also decided not to think too deeply.

Do-yoon, who had finally finished his post-war work, belatedly took over from Millaine and was assigned a room in the dorm.
“Here! You won’t like the room very much. The quality of the room is paid differentially according to the grade given through evaluation within the guild.”
“it’s okay. This is great.”
“I’m so glad you think so!”
How can you be polite! Millaine smiled broadly and thought to herself.
She really liked Doyoon from one to ten. Great talent, tall looks, neat atmosphere, and respectful attitude.
He even decided to entrust the 10,000 gold coins to be paid as a down payment to the World Tree instead of keeping them in his personal safe!
This is a method that does not benefit the individual, Do-yoon Han.
The guild could shut up and cancel the payment, and if the guild goes bankrupt, you will never get your money back.
Instead, while it is in consignment, it is only his property for accounting purposes, but in fact it is operated as a liquid asset of the world tree.
In other words, the world tree does not have to worry about the decrease in cash holdings due to the expenditure of 10,000 gold coins.
This was a decision made by Apostle Doyoon Han, out of consideration for the World Tree. When I heard about it through the master, I really wanted to hug and kiss her tightly.
‘Above all, from the day I entered, I act as a filial son…!’
As a result of this raid, the World Tree’s status rose significantly, and even a friendly relationship was established between the Royal Family of Lockenmeyer and the World Tree. The World Tree took huge intangible profits.
So, from the point of view of Millaine, who is the guild’s deputy master and secretary, Do-yoon can’t help but look like a fortune.
“Wait a minute! In the next achievement evaluation within the guild, the rise to E rank for Apostle Han Do-yoon is a matter of course!”
“is that so?”
“yes! In fact, if it’s only in public terms, it’s not enough to hit the D-class special promotion right away, but I’m sure Doyoon Han is a new recruit who just joined yesterday… If that’s the case, words will come out from within. Sorry. Could you please understand?”
“The solidarity within the guild is a very important issue. Don’t worry, just follow the rules.”
“Ah, how can you say such a pretty thing!”
Doyoon smiled at Millaine. For him, it was fortunate to have such an energetic and thoughtful woman by Eloa’s side.
Even she, who had to maintain her dignity as a guild leader in front of others, would have a much less burden if she was with Millain.
‘I heard that he is a precious child like a younger brother… I guess I’ll have to pay attention to extending his lifespan someday.’
Items that increase lifespan aren’t common, but if she can stay by Elroa’s side for a long time, that’s about it. Anything was possible.
“Then, rest in peace! See you tomorrow!”
Millaine, who had been smiling until the end, closed the door of the dorm and withdrew.
Appreciating the room moderately, Doyoon opened her status window. It was time to address the questions that had been put off before.
‘Where shall I look?’
Doyoon popped up an explanation of the skill [Hyeonsword].
