Episode 68
– Jushin? Are you real bro?
– huh. And they’re all walking around wearing some kind of applicator or something? It looks like Chinese characters.
– …Hyung, I think you hit the lottery?
– Lotto? why?
– That’s the eastern continent. Perhaps you are the first among AC users?
– really? This isn’t the continent you saw, is it the East Continent?
– yes. Hurry up and turn on the broadcast before other users beat you. Is this honestly a revelation from God to be a streamer?
– Uh uh… I got it once. thank you.
– If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If there’s anything I can help with setting up the broadcast, I’ll help.
– Okay. Jinsung only believes in you.
“and. It’s really crazy.”
Heading to the adventurer’s guild, Damian closed his mouth after finishing the whisper with Minjun.
It was because Min-joon, whom I thought we would meet soon, had fallen into a completely different place.
Whispering island marina after everyone else has left.
Because he helped an old man who picked up some clams there, Minjun got on a shabby boat unlike other users.
Immediately, during the eight-hour long voyage, Min-jun not only faithfully answered the old man’s questions, but also showed a thoughtful attitude that he would row the oars instead of the old man.
He said that he was able to walk through the fog safely and step on the sandy beach.
If it was a chance, it was a chance.
Currently, the place where Minjun has arrived is located in the eastern part of the Arsia continent.
It was because he was Jushin, the country where the sun rises in the East, whose identity gradually begins to be revealed after a year based on his previous life.
“I’m sure Master Brain was also said to have come from Jushin…”
Damian rubbed his chin as he recalled Minjun’s words.
It was because he remembered his former teacher, Wu Zhen Lei Qi-cheon.
The same NPC who taught himself, who was an ordinary fighting class in his previous life, martial arts of unprecedented power and unbelievable power, and made him roll a mat for a month in a field called Cheonsan (天山).
At that time, Damian studied brain power and had a good knowledge of defeating people, and at the same time descending from the mountain, he swept many rookies in the arena and rose to the top of the rankings.
It was also the decisive reason why he was able to receive the title of God of War and the reason why he was able to participate in the Demon King Expedition along with the 6 Masters.
So…
“Someone is memorizing the same voodoo. What can a good person do?”
“Pia? Is the owner swearing a lot just now!”
“Oh no. something like that.”
“I heard all the bundles!!!!!”
While Damian soothed the energetic Moongchi and the new chicks, he couldn’t easily grasp how much Min-Jun, who was taking his first steps in Jushin, would grow.
Although, unlike the general skill system here that deals with mana, it uses energy as its basic resource.
Although it was the most difficult task that Min-jun had to overcome, such as training his inner strength and short circuit.
“Oops. Is it time to worry about others? My nose is three.”
Tring!
Damian sighed as he looked at his status window.
It was even more difficult to find the good stuff.
It was a welcome thing to obtain < Rune Page > and < Oracle >, which had been inactive for a while.
In return, Damian had to make all the items worth millions of won in cash, including the < Flame Lizard Bracelet >, into rags.
It was an inevitable choice in order to live.
Starting from the < Beginner's Shirt > whose durability was exhausted and no trace of it could be found, to the < +9 Sashimi > that was turned into powder, as well as the items he made through the < Book of the Black Oath Calling the End > all boasted reasonable durability. So….
“Pour water into the bottomless dock. this.”
It could be said that the matter was not so light that Damian tapped the calculator in his head and then smacked his lips with a serious expression.
Even though he is Damian, who still possesses tens of millions of won worth of goods obtained from mad labor in the forest of Fabre and raiding the game workshop.
It was because Damian, who had to keep in mind the cost of the nursing home where his father was staying and the living expenses of his mother and younger brother, could not take out the money from his bank account and use it like water, just because the equipment was broken.
“Hmm… Wiz Entertainment’s down payment isn’t small… I don’t even want to take some out of it as an investment concept… No, I have to do everything myself. There’s no way there’s anything suitable for my job…”
And the moment Damian stared at his status window, searching for a way to fill in his half-naked equipment.
“What are you struggling with so much?”
“That’s because I don’t have money… right?”
Damian suddenly heard a sonorous voice behind his back and at the same time saw a woman with a familiar face sticking out her head, and raised a question mark.
“Maria?”
“Ding dong deng~.”
The manager of Summon Gate, which tests adventurers from another world, and a person who has earned a notorious reputation for years of war as a mercenary. It was
Maria
Yones
. Where the hell did you spend that much money on? alcohol? female? gambling? Human trafficking?”
“…I think your example is too negative, Maria.”
“no way! If it’s not like that, where are you going to spend money on yourself? I don’t even have a family to feed.”
“Let’s say something like that. Because it’s not a penny or two to put in money.”
Damian shrugged his shoulders shyly, and Maria rested her chin on the table and puffed out her cheeks.
Even so, it didn’t make much sense.
Damian made his debut at Summon Gate with a unique career, and as a result, he became a gold-class adventurer, which is rare for a newcomer to this continent.
He had received Hassan’s full support and reward by single-handedly revealing the fact of killing the giant wolf in Conneil Village and annihilating the expedition in the swamp.
In fact, he would have done that even if he had been the branch manager.
That would also be the case for Maria, who is stuck at this crappy desk and only handles administrative work, Damian’s appearance was no different from an interesting object (?) that could solve her frustration.
Maria was enduring this tedious administrative job by reminiscing about her splendid days on the battlefield in the old days, watching Damian solve the mission that remained a nuisance.
“Aren’t you too naked anyway? I’m good-looking and nice, but—”
“This is purely because of lack of money, Maria. I’m not going naked on purpose.”
“Ah what? What do I do if I say that? Let the steam leak.”
“Even if you say that, it’s not cute at all, is it? I heard everything from Alice. He was very splendid in the past…”
“…I’m going to kill him.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“No~.”
So Damian looked at this decadent woman who did not hesitate to spit out bloody words from her mouth, unlike her innocent expression.
After giving up any excuse, I decided to leave.
According to Alice, her co-worker, although Maria was quiet now, like a cat on a stove.
Even in a disaster-class mission that is almost impossible, she demonstrates demon-like fighting power and overcomes an overwhelming power difference twenty times that of her unit.
It was because I had heard before that he was famous for not leaving a single enemy alive on a hellish battlefield.
“there’s nothing we can do. For Maria’s sake, you should ask Hassan for a job right away—”
“sit down.”
“yes?”
“Sit down.”
chuck!
Damian stopped trying to get up at Maria’s words and sat down.
It was intense enough to raise mana without even realizing it.
Although she was a work-weary administrative worker, that didn’t mean she was a toothless tiger.
“Isn’t it good that you’re quick-witted? The other idiots didn’t think about how strong the opponent was, what weapons they had, or what percentage of odds they had. I want to kill you.”
‘As expected.’
Jureuk!
And Damian wondered whether Hassan’s action, which had imprisoned her here, in response to Maria’s continued complaints might have aggravated her hysteria.
Otherwise, the iron-blooded black rose, who was blunt without saying a word, wrapped up her appearance with a liveliness that did not suit her at all.
It was because there was no way he was going around expressing his inner thoughts and killings like this.
“Read it.”
“yes.”
As Damian placed his hands on his knees like a disciplined private, Maria held out a chart.
It was a mercenary management chart commonly carried by receptionists in the guild.
A personal profile organized so that you can see at a glance what the mercenary’s personal information is and what the mercenary’s assigned mission is by creating a chart whenever a mercenary belonging to a branch with a license is created.
“This is…”
And when Damian looked at the new mission log on the chart and instead of the cosplay of a private with a military standard, he was intent on checking what was written in the mission log…
“How is it? Aren’t your palates a little tempting? Hassan said he might be interested.”
smile!
Maria looked up at Damian’s face with her chin resting on her chin, and an innocent smile appeared on her lips as if she liked his reaction.
If it was a surprise, it was a surprise.
“Aldeon Fortress. It’s a place where monsters appear every day. Needless to say, the terrain is rugged. It is a place where even mercenaries of tolerable ranks express their disapproval because of the high workplace dropout rate and high mortality rate. The same goes for the adventurers in our guild.”
“But why do you do this to me?”
“As stated there, Aldeon wants to recruit staff. It’s a change among borders, but ironically, Aldeon Fortress is the only one that can stop the monsters from crossing the border.”
Damian asked, and Maria pointed to one of the charts with her slender finger.
It was the space where the client’s request was written.
I couldn’t see it well at first, but looking at the stars, it seems to be very important.
And through the contents of the request, Damian was able to roughly guess what Maria was saying.
“The period is until < Twin Moon Day >, when monsters outside the boundary are most active. The manpower must be the maximum number of people the fortress can accommodate and at least a gold level or higher verified skill. Compensation is 200,000 gold base salary and differentiated payment according to performance.”
If anyone is ignorant of Aldeon Fortress, it’s shocking enough that even if you know it, it’s hard to shake it off.
It was truly an unprecedented mission recruitment under conditions of force majeure.
“Do you want to? self?”
Chew!
Before long, Maria licked her lips at Damian.
