Chapter 234 – Special Missions
“Hey, don’t fight over there. Let’s go together Didn’t you hear that it’s at least a 1st class monster?”
I was annoyed and thinking about what to do, but Fade, who was next to me, intervened.
“At least level 1. At least 1st class, if you are unlucky, it may be a limited class. Six people will be safer than three, and the necromancer here is a first-class mercenary, so even if you face a monster in the unlikely event, you can safely retreat.”
At Fade’s explanation, the bald and pot-bellied glanced at Natalya and the skeletons surrounding her, then began whispering among themselves.
“1st grade… Hmmm, 1st grade. Good. There’s nothing we can’t do together. Instead, if I find a clear trace and receive the money, I want it to be divided fairly.”
“…”
The guys’ attitude changed. Being able to move with a first-class mercenary means that safety is guaranteed. No matter how important money is, no stupid person would refuse to say that there is a way to make money safely.
Besides, if you follow the footprints of the remaining monsters clearly, you will be able to get more clear traces, so they will definitely take their share. They are truly shameless children.
I don’t like it.
If the opportunity arises, I want to bury it.
“Is there any reason why we should go with you? I don’t think you guys have skills that will be of great help, do you?”
“Hanseong… !”
The atmosphere faded at my harsh attitude.
He mediates the atmosphere, but it seems like he’s asking why we’re fighting, but I’m the kind of person who can’t stand uncomfortable things. It never made me look uncomfortable because my posture was crooked. These bastards are standing crookedly.
“Why? That’s right. We found the trail of the monster with our tracking skills and followed it. With or without you, the monster will be found sooner or later. Even if we move together, we can earn enough rewards. Even if you run into a monster, you can deal with it.”
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what I said. Perfect answer. It is the truth itself.
“There’s no reason why I should share the reward money with you guys who seem to have poor skills.”
“It’s the same with us who found traces with our skills.”
“You have to meet the monster, it will be nothing but a meal for him.”
“…”
The bald and fat ones are staring at me.
Whoa, are you staring? This Hansung period? These are guys who really want to die.
“Uh, we have to follow the trail anyway! If you stay like this, other mercenaries might steal your bounty! Since we can’t help it anyway since we ran into each other, let’s move on and let the person who picked up the trace first take it! That’s it!”
“Joy… It’s natalie Roin. Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
“Huh.”
As I tried to move with Natalia and Roin, the bald man and the fat man jumped up and started walking in the lead.
I don’t like it because it seems like they’re never going to lag behind us.
Fade came from behind.
“It can end well, but do you really have to fight like that?”
“To end well in the end, the conditions are not good for me.”
“You’re really tired.”
“It is you who are tired, not me. How can there be no normal people when I only meet you?”
When I first met Fade, there was Dixon’s gang who were aiming for Natalya and Roin. After that, he bothered me by saving a slave trader I had killed, and encountered Sayrewin’s gang during the anthill.
Fade always comes with trouble.
Is this guy a symbol of unhappiness?
“Well, there are no normal people?”
“There is such a thing. Don’t come close Be miserable.”
“What?!”
“Beside me is Natalya and the old seat, right? Do you like me?”
“What is he saying now! It’s like a star, really!”
As Natalya and Roin were sidelined, Fade blushed and raged at her, then took the lead.
Looking over Fade’s shoulder, she could see her bald and fat figure walking in front of her.
Those guys are pretty annoying. I think I’d be pretty pissed off if those guys walked in front of me and found a trail first and picked it up.
“What if those bastards pick up the trail first?”
“I’ll take a good look.”
As if to reassure Roin, she opened her eyes and looked at them.
Come to think of it, those guys are walking in the lead, but behind the skeletons.
“Even if I pick it up with a skeleton, there won’t be any problem.”
“Yes. I think it will work.”
The uncomfortable march with the guys began.
The unidentified monsters were not connected in a straight line, perhaps because they wandered around the forest irregularly.
After walking for a while, the old man pulled my sleeve and stopped.
“Why?”
“Shh.”
When I stopped, Natalya stopped, and Natalya stopped, and as the skeletons stopped, so did the bugs that were walking with them.
The old man stretched out his thin white index finger and placed it on his lips while slightly lowering his head.
The bald man and the fat man, who turned around to listen to the sound, also noticed and looked at us with their mouths closed.
Shaaaaah. A sound came from somewhere along with the wind shaking the leaves. There was a small, strange sound, like bells shaking rapidly.
“Did you hear?”
“Huh.”
“It doesn’t sound like crying.”
Fade intervened.
“Similar to the sound of a rattlesnake.”
“Rattlesnake?”
“I know. It sounds like a rattlesnake.”
At Fade’s opinion, Roin nodded her head.
“I don’t know if this is the sound of a real rattlesnake or a mysterious monster.”
“Are there any monsters that make sounds like rattlesnakes?”
“I don’t know.”
Ron shook his head. I looked at Fade, who was deep in thought.
“Fade, don’t you know anything? You were a hunter.”
“Even if you were a hunter, you couldn’t know about a monster you’d never seen.”
“Hmm…”
That’s not wrong. Moreover, unlike the world I lived in, this world has limited ways to obtain information. In order to obtain information, it must be acquired through books, but only nobles can read books, and books cannot convey sound.
Even if you hear the monster’s cry and try to find out its true identity, you won’t be able to figure it out if you don’t have experience.
“After all, this crying sound can’t be a hint.”
Shaaaaah. The sound he had been saying also disappeared.
Eventually, after walking along only the footprints of the monsters, it started to get dark and we started preparing for camp.
As I was setting up a tent and putting firewood in the bonfire, the guys sneakily approached me and started warming the bonfire.
“Ah~ If you pile up firewood like this, the firepower isn’t great.”
They even use the firewood piled up in the bonfire to hunsu. 이 새끼들 진짜 성가셔서, 라면 형제급으로 짜증이 난다.
“If you are dissatisfied, you smoke separately. Why do you use someone else’s bonfire?”
“…”
The guys shut their mouths and started tearing apart the jerky. After savagely biting off the jerky, he talks to me again.
“Well, what about the night shift?”
“You know what to do. We don’t have to stay up all night.”
“What?! Are you crazy? Don’t you wake up? I have to stand even if I turn around!”
“Ah fuck, our necromancer takes care of it, so don’t keep bothering me that I won’t stand and get off.”
“A necromancer? Hmm… Right. Then don’t we have to stand too?”
“Do it on your own, stop if you’re anxious.”
I want to kill him right now by striking his head with the firewood I have in my hand.
I would have done that without the fade. If you blindly kill it because it’s annoying, it can’t be helped because the goddamned Fade, who loves life, might report it. Have to bear it
After cooking a simple stew over a campfire, Natalia and Roin hugged and entered the tent. When I opened the entrance, it felt like they were secretly peeping, so I covered the entrance.
“Ah, what kind of weird bastards are entwined and annoying to death.”
“Every time I get a request and come out, it seems that strange people get involved.”
Natalya, who was lying next to me, nodded her head. Roin, who had been listening to her, interrupted.
“But this time, we won’t engage in annoying sexual harassment.”
“Come to think of it, most of them were sexual harassers, right?”
It might be a better situation this time, in that I don’t look at my women with lust-ridden, unpleasant eyes.
Is this the fate of beauties… ?
“How can mercenaries be normal?”
“Even if it was only 2nd grade, there were no bullies. Level 3 is half and half, and level 4 and 5 are almost all trash.”
“Levels 4 and 5 are grades that can be obtained quickly. You have to do quite a lot to get level 3, right?”
“Huh.”
“Didn’t I say that second-class mercenaries must be able to use magic?”
“Yes. That’s right. It’s not at the systematic and professional level like the aristocrats I learned at magic school.”
Natalya answered.
Magic that is not systematic and professional…
Natalya is a professionally trained magician at a magic school. Natalie is the only person who knows how to use magic around me… Don’t you know how to write roin too?
“You know how to use magic, too, right?”
“Uh? Huh.”
“Did you learn?”
“No.”
“Most of the commoners who know how to use magic are cases where one day they suddenly received divine protection.”
In order to use magic, you must use your magic power to massage your energy. And, to feel that energy, you must receive God’s protection.
It is a story that only knows how to handle magical powers without divine protection.
“Didn’t I say that white magic is magic that can be used without divine protection?”
“Yes. That’s right. It’s because it matches the wavelength with the body. Although it is difficult to learn.”
“How do I get protection?”
“Just… You will feel it at some point. Suddenly, you naturally feel something that you didn’t feel before.”
I have no idea what he’s talking about or how he feels.
“Was Roin like that too?”
“Me? Hmm… No… I am… I’ve been able to handle water as I please since I was born. I could change my body at will.”
“Okay?”
