Chapter 41 – Sewers
Jason quickly calculated the money.
Only parts of the body exist and have long since died. A tribute of at least 50,000 gold was required.
No matter how well-paid an adventurer is, it is not easy money.
Even if you are an emperor, it is money that you should think about before using it.
It was clear, then, that the amount would be a burden to others in the Wolf family as well.
It is said that at first, Janey asked adventurers with whom he was acquainted.
But no matter how friendly he was, 50000 gold was too much.
Besides, Janie had lost his right hand in his last adventure.
Regeneration was not a light sexual method either.
Regeneration potions were also difficult to obtain for noble families or adventurers.
The cleric who lost his right hand had no choice but to use the holy law in the village and collect money.
When a fierce battle took place in a dungeon, there were times when even a priest had to take out a shield and sword.
No one wanted to party with a priest without hands.
She has no other hope than to one day raise her money to resurrect her own sister.
‘No matter how much he hates me, he still can’t bet on a commission of 50,000 gold.’
Tichrist, who was making the most money under Jeffrey, didn’t have that level of ability.
In that sense, Janie, whose desires were clear and whose expectations were excessively high, was exactly what Jason wanted.
**
Jason and Spia put on their masks and ran on the roofs of buildings in the dark capital.
He tried to secretly deal with the idea of getting Janey.
The two headed to a small church on the outskirts of the capital.
It was where Janey was working alone.
Here she praised the Goddess of Light, welcomed the devotees, and received donations and treated the sick.
Janey lived in a small room next to the cathedral.
And in front of the door, Spear gave a hand signal to stop.
It was commonly used by adventurers in dungeons where they couldn’t make a single sound easily.
The two communicated briefly using hand signals.
– There are traps.
-Is it dangerous?
-It’s just for notification.
-Then don’t release it, just open the water.
Spear opened the door.
I heard the sound of a coin falling to the floor. It was a rudimentary notification device.
And at the same time, Janey, who was sleeping inside, pulled out the sword standing next to her head and held it.
It was a reaction speed enough to be considered an active adventurer.
Adventurers had to eat and sleep even in dungeons.
She sets up a night watch, but if she is attacked while sleeping, she has to take up a weapon and respond right away.
Janey had that feeling.
“Who are you?!”
“Jason Wolf. I’m here to talk. Mr. Janey.”
After all, the name of the Wolf family was huge.
Janey immediately grasped the situation.
If he came from the Wolf family to kill himself, any resistance he would make would be useless.
“What did the Wolf family do in such a small church?”
“I’m here to ask for a seat at the adventurer’s party.”
Then Janey smiled bitterly and raised her right hand.
It was a hand with nothing above her wrist.
“I guess the Wolf family doesn’t even do this type of investigation, right? A right-handed person would be useless without a right hand.”
“No. Seeing that you are holding the sword with your left hand, it seems that you are training a lot in secret.”
What Jason said was true.
Janey still knew that collecting 50,000 gold was not easy with the income of such a small cathedral.
So she was secretly practicing her swinging her sword with her left hand, just in case.
“And if you’re going to collect 50,000 gold to save her sister, shouldn’t you listen to anything that pays off?”
Janie smelled her money in Jason’s words.
It was a feeling she hadn’t felt since retiring as an adventurer.
“Then let’s talk.”
Janie put her sword aside and lit a candle in her room.
Only then did she identify the two bizarre bandits.
Her face is young, but her size is that of a grown-up man and a woman wearing an assassin’s mask.
Jason sat down on the only chair in the room.
Janey sat on the bed.
Her spear stood with her arms crossed.
“Do you know anything about the Wolf family?”
“Yes. What. Like the fact that thanks to the presence of the superhuman thief family head Geoffrey, he has power within a few fingers even within the empire?”
“And my father is old.”
In those short words, Janey was able to learn a lot.
When life was too hard for her, she sometimes went to a bar where adventurers go and drank the cheapest Takju.
As she did, she heard what adventurers were talking about.
It was her only pleasure in life.
The stories the adventurers talked about varied.
Among them, there were stories about dungeons that say there are a lot of treasures these days, and stories about the quest fee of the adventurer’s guild.
And there were many stories about the life of superhumans, their goal.
“You are that person. The youngest son who is favored by the family head Jeffrey these days. I heard he is 12 years old. Than you think… “
“Is it big? And it’s not just big. I plan to enter the dungeon soon and practice.”
“Speaking of the Wolf family, I’m sure they can find any number of priests better than me, right?”
Jason replied with a bitter smile.
“Because our family is crueler than you can imagine. Enough to think that if the youngest shows exceptional talent, it should be cut off before it grows.”
Janey, who was from an ordinary adventurer, felt a chill run down her spine just by hearing a glimpse of the Wolf family.
Janey couldn’t comprehend her story of killing her own flesh and blood for power.
‘What did I do when I was 12?’
I was just playing adventurers while running around the alleys with her sister.
She just vaguely thought that if she lived happily every day like that, she would just have a good future.
“Then can’t we just be quiet?”
“Carnivores cannot live by grazing.”
Janey realized that this large boy in front of her was also a member of the Wolf family.
In one short word of hers, she is perfectly done explaining her own nature.
“Then I ask again. Why did you come looking for me? For the Wolf family, a priest better than me… “
Jason cut her off because she tried to bring up the same question again, and started with her answer.
“Because I need a reliable priest without one arm rather than an unreliable priest with all four limbs.”
“I can believe it… What are you looking at?”
“If I grow up fast and become a threat to my family’s older brothers and sisters, the simplest way would be to plant a traitor in my adventurer party. Dirty but simple way. There is no way not to use it.”
“Then won’t I be bought out?”
“I could be bought, but before that, I thought I could somehow make it my own.”
Jason looked again at Janey’s status window in front of her eyes.
From the moment he entered this room, he had been looking at her status window.
Name: Jane.
Past Life: Alexi.
Level: Cleric 15.
Strength: 50.
Agility: 50.
Intelligence: 68.
Charm: 81.
It was a decent ability.
This was enough to make him his own person and build a long-term relationship with him.
If it was a trustworthy cleric, it was good to see him for a long time.
Janey spoke frankly.
“I’ll be honest. People who believe that money can’t buy people just haven’t seen that kind of money. I don’t know what Mr. Jason saw and looked at me that way. I can’t guarantee that if something so messy happens in my family, I won’t be different either.”
If someone gave him 50,000 gold, he could do anything dirty.
It was as simple as betraying the party and burying everyone in the dungeon.
When he returned to the village, he said that everyone was killed in the monster attack and he managed to come back alive alone, and there was no witness or evidence left.
It was also something that happened occasionally during adventurer parties.
“What. It does. But if someone promises to give me 50,000 gold to kill me. After killing me, will you give me 50,000 gold? Or should I kill you too and bury this quietly?”
50,000 gold was such money.
From the Wolf family’s point of view, it was more profitable to just kill Janie and bury this in the dark than to give 50,000 gold.
It was all the more so when I thought that there would be no way to reveal dirty private parts forever.
“I don’t think Janie is that stupid. And he’ll show you who it might be more profitable to do business with just to be more certain.”
Originally, there was a time when understanding once was faster than words.
“I don’t know what to show you… Let’s talk about work first.”
“I see. I did my research. Please forgive me if I feel bad. He’s the type to start after thoroughly researching anything.”
Janie had been making arbitrary assumptions about this character of Jason.
‘Maybe it’s because I stood out as the maknae and tried not to be eliminated, so I became a cautious person.’
And Jason’s words continued.
“You said you needed 50,000 gold to resurrect her sister after she lost her only blood sister while on an adventure together?”
“That’s just the money that goes into the Resurrection Act. It will take additional money to ask the high priest.”
“Great. More than 50 thousand. If you’re with me, I can’t give you that money right now. But I promise you we’ll get that money in the near future.”
“Near date?”
“It would be better than receiving donations from such a small church.”
Jason laughed lightly.
