94. Invitation from the lord 2
“Heh heh, how humble!”
After hearing Kang Seung-hyun’s words, Gabain Young-ju answered with a friendly smile.
“Aren’t you the hero who saved Camar?”
An adventurer who was the first to notice the monster invasion and played a decisive role in defeating the giant Pitchta Crab.
Without Kang Seung-hyun, it would have been impossible to protect Kamar.
‘The Catailer family did their best, but it was that friend who played the biggest role in this case.’
When nobles find a skilled adventurer, they want to make it their own.
It was the same with Gabain.
‘If that friend came under me, Camar would be much safer!’
Adventurers can be manipulated as long as they give money and honor.
Lord Gabain decided to scout Kang Seung-hyeon with an expensive item and an offer he could never refuse.
“Don’t worry if it’s a reward. I’ve prepared things that you’ll like.”
Lord Gabain beckoned, and his servants brought a splendid treasure chest.
Inside the box were rare and rare items.
“Evren Olive, which disappears hunger and tiredness with just one pill. Golden vitality mushroom potion that permanently increases stamina. Jam amulet that increases magic recovery. Blue Topaz of the Dawn Sea. .”
Other than that, it was full of various rare items worth millions of gold.
These are things ordinary adventurers would never even touch or look at in their lifetime.
“Take whatever you like. It’s okay to take them all.”
“All of them are expensive items.”
“This is not all. You, too, will have to step out of your commoner status.”
Lord Gabain said with a confident face.
“We, the Altegartz family, will support you. Would you like to keep Camar safe with me?”
aristocratic patronage. It is also an opportunity to borrow the power of the most powerful family of Kamar, not the ordinary nobles.
“A person like you deserves to be a noble of Camar.”
It was an offer that no adventurer would ever refuse.
‘The Altegarts family’s patronage of the finest items. With this, I can make any adventurer my own!’
Lord Gabain looked at Kang Seung-hyeon, expecting him to swear to follow him.
“Rare items are sponsored by aristocrats…”
However, Kang Seung-hyun had a sad face.
The bewildered lord of Gabain asked with a puzzled face.
“Um… why why but?”
“It’s a nice reward, but it’s not what I want. I will refuse.”
“What is it?”
“I hate working while courting nobles just to get a few bucks.”
Seunghyun Kang continued talking without changing his expression. Lord Gabain didn’t know it, but he had a history of rejecting noble offers twice in recent years.
‘Uh uh…How could an adventurer say such a thing?’
Lord Gabain doubted his ears.
A mediocre adventurer rejecting a noble’s offer of sponsorship, and of course, the most powerful family in Kamar?
It was conceptually impossible.
‘Umm, now that I think about it, that friend was a monster who single-handedly defeated the power system of the Crimson Mage Tower…’
Kang Seung-Hyun defeated the power system of the Crimson Mage Tower that had transformed into a monster and prevented the Mage Tower from collapsing.
That was like fighting the entire Crimson Magic Tower and winning.
‘Then, the identity of that friend is… an anti-magician with tremendous skills!’
It is impossible to deal with the magic tower unless you are an anti-magician with strong magic defense and magic resistance.
Lord Gabain was convinced that Kang Seung-hyeon was an anti-magician disguised as an adventurer.
‘That’s why you refused my support. Anti-magicians don’t like wizards very much.’
Now the back and forth are correct. Gabain, who came to his own conclusion, thought with a nervous expression on his face.
‘I asked him to become a subordinate without knowing that, so he must have been very angry… There’s nothing good about being an anti-magician.’
No matter how great a wizard is, an anti-magician strong enough to face the mage tower alone cannot win.
Yeongju, timid and timid, opened his mouth while watching Kang Seung-hyeon’s eyes.
“I made a big mistake. It must be awkward for a talented person like you to work under a frustrating and pathetic human like me…” “I
didn’t say that.”
“With that kind of relationship, the reward… I’ll prepare what you want. How is it?”
After thinking about it, Gabain Youngju decided to listen to Kang Seunghyun’s wishes.
It’s not okay to give them useless things and make them even more angry.
“I was waiting for that.”
Seunghyun Kang nodded with a satisfied face. When you want to give someone a present, it is right to give them what they want.
‘The reward prepared by the lord is not bad. I definitely prepared carefully.’
Aside from sponsoring nobles, the rewards prepared by Gabain this time were items that ordinary adventurers could not easily obtain.
In addition, unlike Liwen, who threw only one item, he even held out the box to take it.
‘But it’s not what I need right now. The golden vitality mushroom potion is coveted, but…’
The reward Kang Seung-hyun wanted was not such an item. It’s precious, but I don’t need it right now, and I could get enough of it in other ways.
‘I have to rip out something I can’t find on my own.’
What I need to receive here and now is a special reward that can only be obtained from the lord of Kamar.
‘That’s also a very expensive guy.’
Kang Seung-hyun, who organized his thoughts, smiled and opened his mouth.
“Before I demand compensation, I have something to explain.”
“explanation?”
“Me and Mr. Kim Ho-jeong live in a place called Hiind Village, a little away from Kamar.”
Hind. A small village in the western part of the Azul continent.
This is the area where Kang Seung-hyeon and his party made their base.
“Hinde Village?”
“You may not know. Compared to such a big city, it is a rural area.”
“Because I don’t go out of Camar very often…”
Lord Gabain said shyly.
He’s so scared that he doesn’t go out of Camar unless there’s something special going on.
“Hind is a small town, but it is a must-visit for travelers.”
To the north and east are forests and mountains.
The west is jungle and swamp.
The south is forested and wide plains.
Hind Village is located in the center of this place.
So, due to its geographical characteristics, it is a village that is no different from a resting place for travelers.
“It is a place where there are few people and there are many monsters nearby, so adventurers often come and go.”
Since there are so many monsters and there are so many requests, it is good for adventurers and good for travelers because they can take a break.
Although small in size, it is a town that cannot be ignored.
“That’s why the adventurers’ guilds built buildings early on, and the church members are also expanding their influence.”
Currently, the largest external forces in Hind Village are the Ayver Church and the Adventurer’s Guild.
The two forces are amicably feeding on people.
‘It’s a geographically important village, but it’s small in scale, so these things are especially active.’
In particular, Liwen Husher, the head of the Adventurer’s Guild.
He came in by parachute despite his lack of skills and is exploiting Hind villagers and adventurers.
Kang Seung-hyun didn’t like him.
‘Until now, there was no way, so I just left it alone, but I’ll have to give it a shot.’
What Hind Village needs now is a new force to keep the existing forces in check.
“Isn’t it a bit strange to have only an adventurer’s guild and a church in such an important town?”
“Then what you want to say is…”
“Please cooperate with the Crimson Mage Tower to build a Magic Association branch in Hind Village.”
Magic Association.
A wizard-only facility where you can buy and sell magic items, receive related requests, and rent lodging.
It is one of the buildings that are not present in Hind Village.
“The Magic Association?”
“yes. As a reward, I want a Hind Village branch.”
The Magic Association has a friendly relationship with the adventurer’s association, but honestly, it’s not that good.
It’s because wizards are so proud that they look down on ordinary adventurers.
‘After all, the two are rivals.’
So, on days when requests overlapped, there were many fights that they would solve on their own.
‘If there is a Magic Association in Hind Village, it will be difficult for the Adventurer’s Guild to be as active as it is now.’
The Magic Association isn’t such a decent force, but in a situation where the Adventurers’ Guild is doing everything, there are no more useful people than this.
‘In addition, although the Magic Association competes with the Adventurers’ Guild, it does not hate it…’
The Church hates the Magic Association to the point of wanting to kill it.
The Magic Association also hates the church, calling it a group of empty-headed fanatics.
‘If it wasn’t for the sanctions of the central kingdom, there would have been a war.’
If there is a magic association in Hind Village, even if you don’t know about the adventurer’s association, you can 100% check the Iver Church.
“But building a branch of the Magic Association…”
“I know it’s harder to get permission than the Adventurers’ Guild.”
Due to the nature of the building, the Magic Association is expensive to construct and difficult to obtain permission for.
So, unlike the Adventurers Guild that you can easily see, it was a facility that you could mainly see in the city.
‘If you build it up like an adventurer’s guild, they say it’s too cheap or something. Unlucky bastards.’
A sense of superiority that is different from the common and widespread adventurers’ associations.
Kang Seung-hyun thought that the Magic Association’s policy was an idea worthy of a group of arrogant wizards.
“But if the lord of Kamar and the magic tower master work together, permission can be easily obtained.”
Master who represents the lord who rules the city of wizards and the Crimson Mage Tower.
‘I heard that the Magic Tower and Camar are paying a lot of money to the Magic Association.’
If these two work hand in hand and push forward, even a rural village can get permission to build the Magic Association.
“If you ask me, Master Loker won’t be able to refuse it.”
The Crimson Magic Tower also owes Kang Seung-hyun.
Camar also has a debt, so I think the two of them can move in harmony.
“Well, since you saved our Kamar and the Crimson Mage Tower… you deserve the request.”
Gabain Lord, who was listening to Kang Seung-hyun’s story, nodded and muttered.
‘It’s unusual that an anti-magician asked to build a magic association.’
Still mistaking it for an anti-magician.
“We will push forward with the establishment of the Magic Association no matter what. But it might take a while… it might take a while.”
Gabain lord muttered carefully, watching Kang Seung-hyeon carefully.
“Even though we want to proceed as quickly as possible, we are in a messy situation….”
“You can proceed slowly. Please send me an announcement that a magic association will be built in Hind Village first.”
“Okay. That much is easy.”
Even just like that, the Adventurers Guild and Church would foam at the mouth and go mad.
Because it was such a small town, I wouldn’t have thought that the Magic Association would come in.
‘I can’t wait to see what those children will look like.’
In other words, the real reward Kang Seung-hyeon wanted was candy to feed the church and the adventurer’s union.
“Hey, Mr. Kang! As a reward, you get a building, not money.”
“I saved the city, but I deserve this much.”
Kim Ho-jeong, who was watching from behind, approached with an admiring face. He said that he had seen all sorts of rewards so far, but that he was the first person to receive a building.
“That’s also a reward for giving a blow to the Order and the Guild. How did you come up with that idea?”
“Because feeding others is my hobby.”
I don’t know what other people are like, but Kang Seung-hyun is the type to get the driving force of life by insulting others.
So, when the opportunity arises, never miss it.
“Anyway, he has a very unique personality.”
Kim Ho-jung said with a smile as if it was absurd.
Although the intentions are impure, in the end, thanks to Kang Seung-hyeon’s nasty hobby, Hind has become a better town to live in.
“Next time you find another city, ask them to build a house in Hind Village. As a heating guy.”
“Maybe.”
The two of them were having this useless chat.
“Everybody was here.”
Hecaro, who had been away for a while, came into the room and said. He was carrying a bunch of things.
“What is that in your hand?”
“It’s a temporary badge of the Catailer Knights.”
“A badge of the Templars?”
“Since our family has officially become a member of the Knights Templar, shouldn’t we have a badge that symbolizes membership in the Knights?”
Hecaro showed the skill scroll to the two with a proud face.
‘It’s a one-time scroll to get a skill by tearing paper.’
Like the Healer Badge or Crimson Emblem, the Catailer Knights Badge was a special skill created in the form of a summoned item.
It was made with the help of the Kamar wizards.
“Oh yes. I will share it with both of you.”
“’For us?”
“Can I? We’re not even Katylers.”
“Aren’t you the benefactors of our knights? Of course you deserve it!”
Hecaro laughed heartily and held out the scroll.
They said that the two were founding members who were indispensable to the Katyler Knights.
“If you need help from the Catailer Knights in the future, feel free to contact me. We are comrades who have gone through life and death together.”
“thank you.”
Kang Seung-hyun thanked him and received the scroll.
It was made in a hurry, and the paper was crude and the engraved letters were rough, but I could feel the will of Katyler, a new knight order.
‘Because this is the badge that symbolizes the knights…’
A thought passed through Kang Seung-hyeon’s head as he carefully examined the scroll.
‘If I acquire it, will I be able to register the Katyler Knights on the membership list?’
It was just founded today, but the Catailer Knights are a decent organization on the Azul continent. Perhaps they will receive a [Membership Skill].
‘Should I learn it right away?’
Seunghyun Kang tore the skill scroll without hesitation.
