Chapter 105 – 25. The Master’s Grace. (One)
Allen-Mercenaries left after spending a week in the middle city of Malzir. Although there were some difficulties in additional negotiations besides the contract for Danju Viola, there were some results. In particular, the privilege of paying half the toll in the small town of Ampere was granted to Allen Danzou, and he used it as his weapon. Apparently, the toll tax was a very sensitive issue for the guild that handles large quantities of goods….
It was an unexpected journey in the spirit world in the middle, but it was a satisfactory journey. …… Especially in the case of gum milk test.
After the friendship kiss, the couple had no chance to spend time together. … No, she’s probably right about avoiding it on purpose. I’m ashamed to see Danju’s face.
To be honest, that kiss was too stimulating and obscene to call it friendship. Moreover, didn’t she also go crazy over it and show her what she couldn’t see?
I couldn’t help but think that she was too immersed in this, so from that day on, she confined herself to her room and meditated over and over again to train her mental powers. It’s as if she was trying to overcome a demonic illness with her mental strength. … In the end, she couldn’t completely overcome it, but she was able to calm down her complicated state of mind.
Allen, too, treated the gum test as usual, as if it had never happened. Natasha was relieved, but she couldn’t completely erase her regret that was pushing into one side of her chest. … The human heart is so deceitful.
After another five days of driving, they arrived at the small town of Ampere. Of course, in the 15 days they left, how much the city must have changed, but the cluttered atmosphere from before has subsided and now it has returned to a city-like appearance.
But the problem is still bandits. It was said that because of the poor city conditions, they were committing atrocities by appearing near the city even in broad daylight. Of course, because the guards and mercenaries were stationed there, they didn’t dare to invade the city, but from the baroness’ point of view, it couldn’t be anything other than holding back. But it’s not like I’m going to catch bandits right now….
Of course, the state of the city was none of Allen’s business, so he spent two days comfortably in the city without worrying about anything. It is said that the thieves are rampaging more freely these days, but they are no match for them anyway. Even if dozens of thieves on the level of back-alley gangsters attack them, they have nothing to fear.
Furthermore, it was highly likely that the rumors of the Allen-Mercenary Corps, which had completely resolved the spirit world situation, had already reached the ears of the thieves. There is no way that the rumors that spread in the middle city of Malzir didn’t spread in the mercenary city of Vermandois. In particular, from the point of view of the thieves, who had to carefully select whether they were poisoned prey or not, distinguishing between mercenaries that they should not touch was a matter of risking their own lives, so I had no choice but to be sensitive to such rumors. … Of course, there would still be thieves who would attack without knowing the subject, but he was by no means a person overflowing with mercy to the extent that Allen would send them off gracefully just because he didn’t know. Whatever the reason, once a thief is always a thief.
Anyway, after all those hardships, Allen returned to the mercenary city of Vermandois after a full month.
Saying that the bullhorn was also removed, as soon as Allen returnedheheaded straight to Viola’s office. Anyway, this journey was to make a deal with the Merchant in Malzir, the middle city, so I should say thank you to Danju Viola, who helped me a lot decisively. …… Along with that is a new proposal.
I can save as much as half on tolls in Ampere. By using my name, Viola-Mercenaries can save a lot of money. She has a lot of business, so of course she has to have a lot of things.
Allen, who had already calculated her money in her head, thought of the benefits that would return to her. She was right, of course, to keep her poker face to the end in front of the money. Moreover, Danju the viola is also not good at her business matters. When she buys an inn building right now, she thinks of brokerage fees, right?
… It is right to assume that this is a war.
Allen hurriedly moved towards the guild house with that mindset. Of course, in the office, the viola Danju, who hadn’t left work yet, was diligently working on his office work.
“It’s been a while, my lord. … Oh, and I ask for your pardon for the scruffy appearance. I can’t stand it because I want to see Danju… !”
Even though he knew it was a mouthful, the viola danju was a little excited at the words without hesitation.
“I was still waiting for when Allen Danju would come. She said that in Ampert she had a hard time. … Who would have known that the door to the spirit world would open?”
“I don’t know how crazy I was. It was something I could never have imagined.”
“Allen-I heard that the mercenaries did a great job. As expected, Allen Danju’s reputation is growing day by day. There will be very few people in Vermandois who do not know your name.”
“This is all thanks to the viola master.”
Allen flattered him softly, like a ballless eunuch who farts next to the emperor. As expected, just as there is no one in the world who hates flattery, the picky viola sophomore was also polite on the outside, but on the inside, he was happy and didn’t know what to do. In addition, he presented souvenirs he had bought in the middle city of Malzir.
… OK, enough warm-up now… !
After a brief pause, Allen quietly got to the point.
“I received a reward from the baroness while resolving the spirit world crisis this time.”
“Is that so.”
“Yes…. Instead of money, it’s the privilege of cutting tolls in half.”
ㅡ!
Slightly startled eyes. I couldn’t imagine getting such a privilege. At the same time, Viola’s head also tightened. … Why did Allen Danju bring up this? She also has a lot of time this way, but I noticed her roughly.
“Amazing. I hope it is such a privilege.”
Haha. It seems the baroness has appreciated my credit.”
In fact, rather than that, Allen Danju did not miss the opportunity and entered well. … Besides, it’s right to give that level of privilege to the benefactor who saved the city from ruin.
“Anyway, I was able to reduce the toll tax a lot.”
“…… Okay.”
Allen, too, was convinced that there was no way that a person who could be one of the 10 lecturers was unaware of her own intentions.
“If I had my name on it, I judged that I would be able to expect significant tax savings…. What do you think, Lord Dan?”
The viola Danju laughed strangely. You’ve grown a lot, in a way.
“Tell me the conditions.”
“30% of the amount to be saved. I will take just that.”
“Hmm.”
It’s my first time doing something like this, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but it didn’t seem bad if it was 30%. Even if 90% is taken away, it is an unconditional benefit from the perspective of the Viola-Mercenary Corps.
“Not bad.”
“It’s something that benefits both of you.”
“Like. Well, it’s not like I’m fighting with Allen Danju here….”
“Thank you.”
Now that the business is over, Allen made the impression that she was about to leave.
“You’re busy, so I’m sorry for interrupting you like this.”
“No. Allen Danju is always welcome.”
“Then, I’ll go for now.”
“Okay. You must have worked hard, but go and get some rest.”
So Allen left the viola office. In the hallway he came out, only old dog Callice asked if the job was well done.
“Very good. Now, periodically, you will have some spare money.”
“Then I am very fortunate.”
In fact, lending your name can be a bit risky, but it would be right to make an exception for the top 10. Anyway, even if we reach the top 10 like the viola danju, we will go to the end, so it is right to show this level of trust.
Allen even hummed a song excited about making money. …… To commemorate today, I think I should have fun with Elena all night long.
The hideout building arrived after a long month. In Earth, I couldn’t get out of the situation of renting a room, but here, as a landlord, I felt reassured, and I felt full even if I didn’t eat. …… This is why the landlord is the landlord.
As Allen entered the hall on the first floor, she was politely greeted by her counter staff.
“A guest recently arrived.”
“… Guest? Who?”
“That’s me too….”
Allen wondered if she was an uninvited guest, and she was a little worried. She is not a person to be greeted blindly as a guest. Especially on this floor.
The two men went straight up to the third floor. In front of the conference room in the hallway, the youngest member Shin, unable to take off his clothes, stood guard in front of the door with his scruffy face. As soon as the youngest saw the returned Lord Dan, she ran to him rejoicing.
“A guest has arrived. He’s waiting in the conference room.”
She said, “Okay. You go and sort it out.”
“Ah, yes.”
Allen sent her youngest child first and cautiously opened the door. And the first thing that greets him is the slightly acrid cigarette smoke.
…… No way…….
“Ah, here you go…. Long time no see, Allen Danju.”
Beside the woman who said that with her cigarette in her hand crooked, the eyes of the blind saint Odd stood in contemplation and restlessness.
Oh
As soon as Allen saw her opponent, the soles of her feet burned. She chuckled coolly, blowing a long puff of her smoke.
“I came to find the naughty disciple who abandoned the poor teacher….”
The teacher of the blind saint—-.
She who should be in her holy kingdom,
She came all the way here to find a disciple who sold her trust for money.
