Chapter 56 – Money Can Be Copied?
Little Dixon is crying as he falls, clinging to his leg, which has become an inverted joint due to a bent knee.
Merchants are busy picking up the magic stones that have fallen here and there.
I am not satisfied with this. These guys tried to kill me and rape my women. I want the complete destruction of these bastards.
The youngest member of Dixon’s gang is weeping on her stomach next to her brother’s corpse, with her head missing.
I deliberately approached the youngest pup and spoke at a loud enough level to hear.
“Tsuttuk. It was stupid and couldn’t function properly, and the shape was so bad that I couldn’t even wear it as an ornament, but it was beautifully crushed.”
“What, what?”
“The head surgery went well.”
I’m looking at you with a stupid expression. Can’t you understand when I say this? Dumb asshole
“Your brother, you idiot for being good at searching.”
“You fucking bird!”
“Old.”
– Took.
The youngest cub opened her eyes wide and tried to attack her, so I threw a magic stone at him.
The youngest cub, who received the magic stone in a hesitant manner, looked at it with a bewildered expression.
I planted a good image while having various conversations with merchants for the past 4 days. In particular, Jake sees me as a sincere and healthy young man.
He took a deep breath.
“Miss Jake!!! It’s a thief!! This bastard tried to steal the magic stone!!”
“Muh, what are you talking about…”
The youngest’s face went white.
At the sound of my voice, Jake hurried over to her, snatched the magic stone her youngest was holding in her hand, and shouted with a reddened face.
“This, you bastard, you bastard thief!! Even though the gang was chatting with each other and acting rudely, they didn’t say anything. How dare you do something like this?!”
“Oh, misunderstood. This is that man…!”
“Shut up! You trash bastard! I will report what you did to the mercenary guild!”
“Cheuk!”
Jake kicked the youngest in the chest.
Cuck, good job! Shall I help you by your side?
“What a piece of crap! No, it’s crap! One of his comrades is dead, and in the meantime, he’s trying to sneak up on escort items! This bastard needs to be made an arm idiot and never do mercenary work again!”
He kicked her youngest at the elbow and bent her backwards.
“Quaaaaagh!!!”
If you let this kid live, you don’t know what he’ll say later. It’s annoying when that happens. Let’s entice Jake into burying him now.
“Mr. Jake.”
“Ah, Hanseong! Thank you so much! If it wasn’t for you, I would have stolen valuables from that bastard!”
“What. Of course. Protecting the escort items, that is a 『Promise』.”
I smiled with a “Fun”, “Cool”, And “Sexy” Look on her face and nodded her head in response. Jake made a moved expression and put his hand on my shoulder.
“As expected, you are a good, healthy young man born in this era!”
“One of the wagons is broken right now, so we have to load all the magic stones in two wagons, right? Judging from the magic stone’s weight, it seems like it’s already dangerous because it’s already overloaded.”
“Um… That’s right.”
“Hey Dixon, you’ve broken your leg in a stupid attack and can’t walk. Can you load it into the wagon? A wagon with an “Overload” Condition?”
“That’s hard…”
Jake’s face darkened.
“Then you’d have to share the magic stones between the two wagons and have someone carry Dixon on his back. Wouldn’t that be difficult since he’s a big guy?”
“Yes.”
“Besides, it will take a lot of time. Maybe it will take another day. Then the commission fee will be cut even more.”
“Oh my…!”
Jake’s face contorted.
Human beings are like this. Even if he has pity for someone, if he is harmed because of that person, he turns into a demon.
“By the way, there is a neat way to solve all of those problems. On the contrary, we can save commission fees.”
“Hmm?”
Jake looks like he’s asking you to tell him something.
“Here you kill Dixon and that youngest pup and tell me that it was caused by a monster. Then, Mr. Jake can save on the commission fee and save time since he doesn’t have to pick up the wounded.”
“Lord, killing me is like that.”
A look of denial crossed Jake’s face. It is an expression of rejection due to ordinary moral feelings.
“Jake, think about it. If you take those pups, it’ll stretch for another day. In that case, the amount that Mr. Jake will have to pay will be 84 silver instead of 70 silver. But if you kill all the Dixon’s gangsters here, the escort fee will be reduced to 40 silver. Surprisingly, you see the benefit of 44 silver.”
“⋯⋯!!”
An emotion flashed in Jake’s eyes.
When a person sees a number in front of his eyes like this, his eyes will go round.
Strictly speaking, saving money is not profit, but the word benefit is sweeter than saving.
“We have a necromancer on our side to dispose of the corpse, so there’s nothing to worry about. You won’t get caught up in the mercenary guild later. How is it? If Jake stays quiet, I’ll take care of it with my colleagues. If Jake just closes his eyes and pretends not to know, he will benefit from 44 silver.”
If you pretend you don’t know once, you will get 4.4 million won, and you say the money will be copied? Won’t you?
4.4 million won vs. The lives of two petty thieves. If it were me, I would choose the former unconditionally. However, no matter how savage this world may be, there must be a beautiful human spirit of mercy.
But humans with such a noble spirit are rare. For most people, their own interests are more important right now.
At my words, Jake closed his eyes and began to put on a worried expression.
I think I just need to push my back one more time.
He whispered softly into Jake’s ear.
“You have to think of the family waiting at home. Is it enough money to buy more than 10 delicious meals for your family? The kids are probably waiting for Mr. Jake to come?”
“Yeah. Meh, the wild boar is so powerful!! Three dead! What a pity!!”
Kkeuk. Like a selfish bastard.
“Iknow, right. What a terrible thing. It’s Natalie! Let’s dispose of the body here! If I leave it alone, the monsters might be seduced!”
“Yes.”
Natalya’s steel skeletons led Dixon’s men into the woods.
The living corpses of Dixon’s gang, held by steel skeletons, began to scream.
“Muh, what!! Let go! Let go!!”
“I am not dead!! Help me!!!”
I walked through the woods with a light heart, using the screams of the Dixon gang as music.
After walking for a while, the screams of Dixon’s gang died down.
“Um, this was quite a walk, right?”
“Huh. If it’s here, even if you kill it, the monsters won’t be attracted to the camp.”
Roin nodded at my question and drew his dagger.
Natalya restrained the old man.
“Is it Natalie? Why?”
“Leave it to Hansung.”
“Me?”
Natalya asks to leave it to me. What? I have no interest in killing people.
“Hansong? I told you before that you were sorting out your thoughts about authority, right?”
“Ah.”
Suddenly, the story of authority comes out.
“Until now, Hanseong-nim had blood on his clothes four times, right? Goblins, Tier 2 mercenaries, man-eating bears, and trolls. Four times like this.”
“Huh. Yes?”
“Among them, you used the power when you were a level 2 mercenary and a troll, and when you couldn’t use it, you were when you were a goblin and a man-eating bear.”
“Huh.”
When I was a goblin, I didn’t feel anything. I felt it a little bit when I was a man-eating bear.
On the other hand, 2nd class mercenaries. Was it Bart? No Homer? Anyway, I definitely felt it when I was with that bastard and the troll.
“Will you kill these people yourself with a scythe and smear them with blood?”
“Um… Okay. Natalya said let’s try it, so let’s try it.”
A steel skeleton lowered the youngest to the ground and pressed her by the shoulders. As I approached with the scythe, the youngest cub screamed.
“Hey!! Ha, don’t!! Don’t do it!!”
“Hey, hey. Just shut up Let’s go finely and finely.”
I aimed for the youngest cub’s heart and lowered her scythe.
“Turn it off!!!! Cuckoo! Shut!”
“Oh, missed. So be quiet.”
The scythe pierced the stomach and stuck to the ground, so it didn’t pull out well.
“Fuck! Kreukreuk!!”
“Mister, the intestines are sticking out.”
When the scythe stuck in the pit of the stomach was pulled out, internal organs and blood began to crawl out from between the stomach.
“I’ll let you go at once, so stay calm, bastard.”
“⋯!”
She swung her scythe once again.
The feeling of piercing her hard ribs, this time, as if she had stabbed her heart properly, the youngest pup’s eyes widened and her body began to tremble.
When she pulled out her scythe, blood splattered. Not a lot.
“Can I get some more blood?”
“Huh.”
The skeleton gutted the youngest cub and rubbed it against my robes.
Drops of blood formed on the hem of the robe and dripped.
“Would you like to use your powers now?”
I closed my eyes at Natalya’s words and focused my attention on the scythe in my hand.
Consciousness is scattered. I feel the hot blood on the scythe. I feel the slippery feel of the blood on my robe.
I feel the wind sweeping through the hem of my robe. Conscious riding the wind,
“Hmm?”
Consciousness returned faster than when he was drenched in the blood of a man-eating bear.
Natalya’s and her eyes met.
“How about this?”
“I feel weaker than when I was a man-eating bear.”
“Hmm…”
In response to my answer, Natalya started thinking about something, stroking her red lips with her white finger.
When I looked down, all the blood on my robe and sickle had disappeared.
“Wow, what? All the blood is gone.”
The old man looked at my robe in admiration.
“It is the power of my robe. Use blood as a source of magic power.”
“Aha, have you tested that now?”
“Hey, you crazy bastards! Why is that! Why!”
Dixon screamed and shouted.
“What?”
“Why did you kill me! Why!”
“Huh, is this bastard asking because he doesn’t know?”
“Keah!!”
I stepped on Dixon’s broken knee.
These chews do not know what they did wrong.
Since ancient times, crazy people have said that every bite is medicine. I’m treating the Dixon kid.
You could call me a physical therapist.
