Episode 528 Banquet (3)
As soon as he arrived at the royal capital, Ray looked for the Halfman Company.
A beggar-like man was standing there looking around from the entrance, and the guard guarding the store entrance approached.
“What kind of guy are you?”
dreamy dreamy.
As I blinked my eyes, the guard clicked his tongue.
“You are a pitiful fellow at such a young age. Still, it’s worth looking at one face, so if the day is bright, look for a job. Take this, too.”
What the guard handed over was a piece of bread and two pieces of beef jerky.
You mean you look like a beggar?
With a slight frown, the guard shook his hand.
“no. I can’t give you any more. You should know that this alone is a great favor of the Bone Merchant.”
It’s quite condescending for just throwing a few pieces of bread and beef jerky.
he said to the guard.
“Food is done, I want to meet Harpman.”
At those words, the guard became very angry.
“How dare you call the Danju indiscriminately! You bastard want to play a sutra!”
The status of the upper ranks did not drop to the extent that a mere beggar could meet the sobriety.
Ray was a little dumbfounded when he bluffed in a stern tone.
Judging from the fact that he still doesn’t recognize himself, it seems that he has just entered the Chamber of Commerce.
He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a tile to show.
“It’s Taesang’s defeat. Go and get the harpman.”
As he threw various jade and gold-framed cards around, the guard accepted it without hesitation.
“This?”
I looked around and tilted my head as if this was the first thing I saw.
“You bastard, this place is not a store of all things! Where did you get a tile that looks like a real one!”
It’s not the same as the real one, it’s the real one.
Being treated like a beggar was not enough, and now that he was lying, Ray also felt unfair.
“Oh well, show it to Harpman and he’ll know!”
“What the heck is a beggar doing to show this to the danju!”
After the two had been arguing for a while, two guards who were drinking in a corner approached.
Judging from the fact that he was abandoned even to the window sill, it would be more accurate to see him as a drunkard rather than a security guard.
“What’s the fuss?”
When the senior guard asked, the guard who was dealing with Ray continued to speak as if complaining.
“Well, I felt sorry for this guy and even gave him food, so why are you talking as if the guild he saw belonged to me?”
The senior guards frowned at him.
“Have you seen such an evil bastard in the world?”
I’ll even have a good drink.
I have to set a good example in front of the newcomer.
“What kind of dog-bones do things in front of a large group of people?”
When I looked at the back of the rookie with my legs crossed, the first thing I noticed was his white hair and blue eyes.
It is indeed quite off-white.
The eyes were so clear that just one look at them made me feel like my mind went blank.
This feeling is not the first.
when you were a rookie.
There was a time when I went out without knowing anything and was slapped on the cheek by Danju.
Seeing Ray, the two sobered up screams.
“Ah! Lord Taesangdan!”
“Meet Taesangdanju! But how come…?”
Now that there are people recognizing him, Ray let out a small sigh.
“I’m here to see Harpman.”
“If all of you were Danju, you went to the royal castle…”
“The royal castle?”
No matter how well Harpman is doing, what kind of capital is he looking for when he is just a merchant?
Ray asked casually.
“For what?”
Then the answer I heard was spectacle.
“He said he was going to have a funeral for Seongjae Seo, so he hurriedly walked.”
A saint’s funeral? Was there another saint besides himself?
As I put on a face that I didn’t know why, the guard added.
“I’m very sorry, but today was Taesangdanju’s funeral.”
At those words, Ray jumped up.
He has never died since he came here, but what kind of funeral is he holding so early!
Two senior guards hurriedly bowed their heads.
“Forgive me for the rudeness!”
“Forgive me for the rudeness!”
Ray is a precious existence held by the Danju of the upper ranks, and at the same time, he is the representative of God who wields great power in the Holy Land.
They hated such a person, so they were dead.
The rookie guard, whose face had turned contemplative as if he had grasped the situation, suddenly hit his head on the ground.
“Sorry! I am ignorant…!”
The change of posture is really free on the subject that until just a while ago he was pointing at himself and shouting that he would beat him to death if he didn’t go out.
However, he is a person who knows how to show mercy to those who are hungry.
I didn’t want to push further.
“done. stop getting up.”
Despite his words, the new guard did not know how to stand up.
It will probably stay in that position until it disappears.
After taking a look at the rookie guard, Ray muttered to himself before leaving.
“It is very nice to see the security guard at the door entrusting the job to the newcomer and going on a drinking spree. As expected, Harpman seems to be doing a good job. The guild is running pretty damn well.”
“Sorry!”
“Forgive me!”
Every time I say a word, an apple pops out like an answering machine.
Well, there wouldn’t be many players who would carelessly mess around with a caravan of about half a million people, but it wouldn’t be strange if Ganja hid because the vigilance was loose.
I guess I need to give Hafman a sneak peek.
Without even thinking about how many people would roll around with that little hint.
Ley left behind the three guards who politely bowed their heads and returned to the castle.
* * *
Without being able to rest, I moved on again and arrived at the capital city.
As if a festival had been held on the streets of Wangdo, lanterns were embroidering the night sky, and a large number of people were drinking and talking.
He bought an old leather robe, pulled the hood down, and muttered as he looked around.
“It feels a little strange to think of it as my own funeral.”
Even though he is still alive, it is to witness his own funeral.
It’s not too bad to think that so many people are gathering to mourn his death.
what was it like in the past
Is there anyone who mourns the death of one who lived only in work?
When I think about it, I can think of a few people, but not as many as now.
Wang also walked while looking around the streets.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been out of the world, so I’m happy no matter what I do.
Especially when it comes to people watching, like now.
Occasionally, the guards chased him because of his strange attire, but when that happened, Ray moved like a ghost.
After walking along the streets of the royal capital while watching the streets and people, we were able to reach the gate of the royal castle shortly thereafter.
After the disappearance of mana, the decayed castle wall came into view.
He probably had a busy day without even having time to restore the walls.
As the suspiciously dressed man approached, the soldiers who stood guard stopped Ray.
“Stop. Today, only those who have been invited. Who are you?”
Then, Ray took off the hood he was wearing.
Her untrimmed hair cascaded wildly over her shoulders.
Even if you search all over the continent, there are not many white hair.
Moreover, the number of those with appearances comparable to those of elves was even smaller.
The soldier recognized him at a glance.
“Sir Seongjae!”
“long time no see. I wasn’t invited, but I heard it was my funeral, so may I go in?”
“Mu, of course!”
The soldier waved his arms wide.
Koo Goo Goong-!
As soon as the castle gate began to open, the soldier hurriedly bowed.
“I am glad you are back.”
Bring the spear to your chest and lower your head.
Ray bowed briefly to him and entered the castle.
There were not many people walking around outside the castle.
At best, there were apprentice maids in charge of chores.
“It looks like I have to go to the castle.”
Anyway, there must have been quite a bit of time left until the next action of the black room.
Looking at the peaceful streets, it seems that the coalition or the black room’s behind-the-scenes work has not yet begun.
Ray happily crossed the garden.
Then a coffin full of flowers caught my eye.
Could this be a coffin made just for you?
I tapped the lid of the coffin with my fingers.
The interior seemed empty as the sound spread far and wide.
Fortunately, it seems that the wrong corpse was not brought to the funeral.
I looked around the garden in relief.
It’s been over a year, but Celia’s garden is still beautiful.
It would have been nice to have been able to see this kind of sight even in the dungeon.
Leaving behind the memories that didn’t even seem like memories, Ray entered the inner sanctuary.
The inner side had more people than the outer side.
Of course, even those were all attendants, but judging from the fact that they were moving quickly even into the evening, it seemed that the mourners hadn’t left yet.
He waved gently at the ladies-in-waiting who recognized him.
every time he takes a step.
The attendants who were working all dropped what they were holding.
All actions of the attendants stopped for a moment at the sight of the saint, who had been buried just a few hours ago, standing and walking.
Eventually, after he completely disappeared, the attendants came to their senses.
“Bar just now… just now, the saint…”
“I saw it too… I can’t believe it’s the saint’s ghost…” He
casually said something that would have been blasphemy if he had heard the greeting of the saint. .
Didn’t they see something in vain?
For a while, they stared blankly in the direction where Ray disappeared.
* * *
Baron Dane, who was in charge of greeting the entrance at the banquet hall, tilted his head at the commotion outside.
“It’s Busan today. Well, it’s the saint’s funeral, so it’s understandable.”
I was standing at the entrance of the lobby casually, when a young man with a familiar appearance walked from the outside.
While having a one-sided relationship with yourself.
Baron Dane’s eyes widened.
An old brown leather robe.
It was a very shabby outfit for a saint called the representative of God, but somehow it seemed to represent the life in the dungeon.
Everyone thought he was dead.
The testimonies of those who returned alive from the dungeon were devastating.
In fact, more than 10,000 mercenaries lost their lives in the dungeon, and those who even survived were those on the lower floors.
Ray spoke to the baron in a soft voice.
“long time no see.”
“Ah…”
Baron Dane, who was speechless for a moment, shook his head and regained consciousness.
“Forgive the plaque.”
“What kind of forgiveness is that?”
After looking around the lobby for a while with a smile, Ray caught a glimpse of Aira in a white dress.
and.
I could also see a man kneeling in front of him and smiling miserably.
At first glance, it was clear that this was not a very pleasant situation.
Let Ray laugh.
Noticing him, Baron Dane quietly took a step back.
“It is an honor to be in charge of introducing the saint to such an important position.”
