Chapter 128 – 29. The Northern Region. (4)
“… Did you say dream now?”
“Yes. A tribe that lives by sucking the spirit of human males. I guess your demon disease is probably derived from the dreamer’s minion.”
“But even the dream demon is a demon. It is something that should never be underestimated. Moreover, that minion grew up feeding on your energy, so it’s hard to gauge how strong he has become.”
“… Okay.”
Allen smiled lightly and rubbed his palms lightly like a peddler.
“Alright then, shall we negotiate a price now?”
“How much do you want?”
When Ingmar asked, Alen put her hands together and cupped her chin, as she continued.
“Do you know the middle city of Margas?”
“I do not know. How are you?”
“It is a city located north of the capital. It is a city ruled by Count Villa. … I have cured the daughter of the count’s daughter.”
“I heard that.”
Since Aidar said that the top 10 viola player said so, that must be true without lies.
Allen raised her hand, folding her thumb and spreading her other four fingers, she said.
“The amount I received there is four thousand gold coins.”
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
No matter how much a tiger in the north is, the amount is bound to be stunned as soon ashehears it. It’s not even a thousand gold coins for an already poor northerner, but a whopping 4,000!
“…… Is that, really?”
“Yes, on my honor.”
When the northerner put up such an honor that he couldn’t even die, the opponent also accepted it as the truth.
Moreover, Allen was a person guaranteed by the top 10 singles. If she uttered a lie, she could lose not only the top 10 but also the honor of the Biya family. She said that if it was a lie she would face the death penalty, but she had nothing to say.
Four thousand gold coins.
It was an amount far beyond darkness. No matter how long Ingmar flies in the North, if you scrape through it, you’ll only be able to find half of it.
“… However!”
Of course, Allen also knew the situation in the north, but she had no intention of pushing 4,000 blindly.
That’s why she’ll cut it in half right away, and being patronizing doesn’t have much effect, so you should touch the other person’s feelings of gratitude as much as possible. That way, she’ll pluck something from her opponent. It’s like a dream demon sucking the man’s spirit.
Allen said solemnly, banging her fist lightly on her table with her serious expression on her face.
“That Allen Danju… ! I admired Ingmar Danju’s spirit and courage. How dare I accept all four thousand from such a person like a merchant!”
“…… Hmmm. I am ashamed to say it myself, but it is called the tiger of my north.”
“Also!”
In Vermandois, a mercenary sober who was recognized in his own way was so praiseworthy that Ingmar was also happy.
“If it had been someone else other than Ingmar Danju, he would have suffered from demonic disease and died long ago. I am in awe of Danju’s mental strength.”
“Well, it’s a little drudgery, but it hasn’t been too hard.”
“Indeed, there is a reason why it is called the tiger of the north.”
“Heh heh heh.”
Intoxicated with the glory of the north, Ingmar Danju eventually accepted the offer of two thousand gold coins without losing a single penny.
“Good. I cut half of the 4,000, but it’s not polite for me to cut more here. … Let’s do it, let’s do it!”
“I have never seen a person as bold as Ingmar Danju! There was such a great person in the North!”
The two men who laughedhahaexchanged a warm handshake.
“I hope to continue our good relationship in the future.”
“I’m fine.”
So the negotiations were over in the blink of an eye with mutual agreement. Of course, Bu Dan-ju was shocked to hear of the huge amount of medical expenses, but Dan-ju pushed his decision to the end, saying that the honor of the north was not something that could be converted into money. … To be honest, it’s a cure for a demonic disease called an incurable disease, but it’s right to pay that much.
And the Allen-mercenary corps prepared to start working in earnest.
· · ·
Allen-The mercenary corps finished a hearty dinner. The sun that had been making a beautiful sunset went behind the mountain ridge, and the outside was soon enveloped in darkness. Over the silent night road, fluttering snow piled up little by little on the floor.
Allen, who was waiting for the moment with the blind saint in his room, got up after confirming that it was completely dark outside the window.
“Sister, let’s go.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Before she left her room, she put her hands together and said a prayer to the Holy Ghost.
The two men and women walked down the hallway, where the chill lingered, and arrived in front of Ingmar Danju’s bedroom. Allen knocked lightly on the door, and soon the door slid open gently. And it was Budanju Andersen who greeted them.
“I was waiting.”
Ingmar Danju greeted them by sitting on the bed with only his upper body erect.
“Please understand that I have no choice but to greet you like this.”
“Of course. There are no us, think, and sleep well. … I will take care of the rest.”
Although Allen was a money-hungry great, she still did her best in her work. That’s her real mercenary business.
“All right. Then, I’ll leave it to you.”
After borrowing some medicine, Ingmar Danju was already sleepy. He let out a languid breath and lay upright on the soft bed. Then he closed his eyes and breathed through his nose a few times, and soon the sound of his breathing spread evenly.
From then on, the three reduced their voices as much as possible and talked only with their eyes.
They waited a little longer until Ingmar Danju fell into a deep sleep. And when he judged that the right amount of time had passed, Allen looked at the blind saint and tapped her arm lightly. At the same time, Odd’s eyes nodded lightly and removed her blindfold.
ㅡ!
And the black line that finally showed up.
Exactly, the black line plucked from Ingmar Danzu’s forehead continued somewhere.
After confirming that, the blind saintess nodded her head vigorously while looking at Allen Danju. As if Danju-nim’s prediction was correct.
Also, it was good.
Allen was a dreamer too, she said, and after rejoicing in her heart that her own prediction had been met, she nodded her head as if to move on.
As the three quietly came out of the bedroom, two members of the Ingmar Mercenary Corps, who were waiting at the end of the hallway, approached them. The deputy manager looked at them and said.
“Keep your side, Lord. Quietly. Be careful not to break it.”
“Yes!”
The three went down to the hall on the first floor. There, Allen-Mercenary Corps and Ingmar-Mercenary Corps, already heavily armed, were waiting for them to arrive.
“It’s an outing.”
With that word, their fate is decided tonight.
The war with the demons—-.
The two mercenaries came out of the hideout building and lined up in line. And the blind saintess chasing the black line took the lead, followed by the two mercenaries.
Podeudeuk podeudeuk. Every time I stepped on the thin snow-covered floor, the soles of my feet made a quiet sound. The hood that came in contact with the breath that came out with every breath was already covered with white frost.
Elena, the only sorceress in the two mercenaries, brightened her magic orb and revealed her vision. … At this time, a knowledgeable magician was more useful than an ignorant swordsman.
They continued their walk through the dark and silent streets of the city. If it had been a little brighter here, it would have felt like walking in the spirit world.
At that time, the blind saintess who continued to follow her black line called Allen.
“…… Danju, I have something to report.”
“Tell me.”
“Compared to what I’m following right now, it’s very subtle, but there are a lot of lines that extend elsewhere in the middle of the line. …… It’s like a root.”
It seems that the demonic tricks are not limited to the hideout of Ingmar-Mercenary Corps.
“… I get it. Go on.”
Perhaps it was a problem that could become serious at the city level. … It would be advantageous in many ways to deal with it quickly before the number of monsters increases.
The group of mercenaries, which had stopped for a moment, moved again. However, what is curious is the direction the blind saintess is walking.
“…… This is the direction of introspection…….”
Allen Danzoo also heard the vice owner muttering like he was talking to himself. As he said, the direction the blind saintess walks is where there is tolerance.
…… No way…….
However, as the proverb says that it is impossible to catch people, eventually the inner wall came close to them. The moment when the doubts I had had become certain.
“Odd Noon, are you inside?”
“…… Yes. It leads to tolerance.”
Fuck this
In that moment, Allen realized that this would no longer be her end on her own. The fact that she had to enter the inner world meant that she had to be associated with the count family, whether it was good or bad.
“Danju, what should I do?”
No matter how much Ingmar-Mercenary Corps was recognized by the mercenary world in the north, that didn’t mean that they could freely play in the city. After all, the owner of the city is the Countess.
… However, Allen couldn’t back down like this. Whether it works or not, you should try it.
“…… You have to bump into it.”
“……… Yes?”
Allen Danju solemnly declared.
“Your Excellency, I will ask you directly. The city’s rise and fall is taking place right here!”
Two thousand gold coins were at stake.
Even if it was not the count, but the count’s grandfather, he would not be able to easily break Allen’s will.
