Chapter 139 – 32. Smell. (One)
After leaving the Prophet’s room, the middle-aged knight, with slightly disheveled clothes, walked along the hallway with the knight in silence for a long time. His speech opened after he completely escaped the baron’s mansion.
“You were hiding something?”
The knight Quintus sensed that the moment Prophet Alloa removed his servant Monua’s hand, there must have been something in the reaction. … The opponent took it off as no big deal.
“Yes.”
Monua also replied with confidence. When the Prophet held her hand, she could smell it. Something very strong smell!
The female knight had no doubt that it must have been related to this incident. … Even if that’s not the case, I’m in a position where I have to hold on to even the smallest clues now.
“What about the smell?”
“I took it.”
“Could it be traced?”
She closed her eyes for a moment and inhaled her breath through her nose. In the smell of the capital city, that scent faintly felt. It was definitely the same scent I felt from Alloa.
Opening her eyes again, she turned her head somewhere. The direction is east… !
“It is over there.”
“… It is east.”
The middle-aged knight vigorously nodded his head.
“Go there.”
The destination of the Holy Knights has been decided.

When Viola-Mercenary Corps and Allen-Mercenary Corps returned to Vermandois, rumors had already spread throughout the city that Martolo-Mercenary Corps had been annihilated by the group of princes.
In particular, the mercenaries and the Merchant Corps were not the only ones suffering damage due to the thieves, who were even using demonic beasts these days.
Even so, the stock price of Allen-Mercenaries soared to the sky.
Even so, rumors had spread that Danju Viola had a lot of favoritism since she took Allen Danju as her companion to the 10th lecture meeting, but now the perception that he is her aide has been fixed. … At first, it was thought that she was simply trying to make her a pillar west because of her appearance, but now she is starting to be recognized for her real ability.
Of course, the Allen-Mercenary Corps still couldn’t catch up to the status of the Kalim-Mercenary Corps, let alone the top 10, but there was definitely noticeable growth.
Mercenaries and mercenaries who have lost their jobs in the eastern region, where conflicts have subsided just in time, are pouring into Vermandois. In addition, Allen Danju also made a huge amount of money.
That’s right.
It’s not a bad way to invest more in the business with the money you have, but now was the moment to grow a little more. It’s not often that mercenaries are suddenly released en masse like this. In addition, as the supply overflowed in an instant, the ransom price had to fall somewhat according to the law of the market.
In other words, this is a great opportunity to get a decent mercenary at a low price.
Of course, that didn’t mean that Allen would recruit a half-way guy. It will be difficult to dispose of such a person later. If that’s the case, I’d rather be new like the youngest Cory.
Allen D’Anjou, now making a name for herself in Vermandois, had more options than before. In particular, there were a lot of people who wanted her to transfer to the 10th Viola-Mercenary Corps later through Allen-Mercenary Corps. Realistically, I decided that it would be impossible to join the top 10 right away, so I first joined the Allen-Mercenary Corps and then got a letter of recommendation from Danju by playing an active part there.
In fact, since the alliance is actually treated as a satellite mercenary group of the representative of the alliance, such a judgment could not be seen as particularly wrong. Rather, it is a natural thing among mercenaries. Not a small percentage of the top 10 members transferred after being recommended that way…. That’s why the 10 powers put so much effort into managing the federation.
[Strength: 51] [Agility: 44] [Stamina: 53] [Intelligence: 8] [Magic power: 12]
[Brightness] [Recklessness] [Narcissism] [Straightness] [Greed] [Sensitivity] [Insomnia] [Distraction]
Pergamond Brandt, a mercenary from the north who introduced himself as the Great Warrior of the North, also came to Allen for that reason. He even boldly revealed the purpose to him. In a word, it’s like saying, “Become a stepping stone for your own growth.” … Exactly the same situation as the female warrior of the north, Zunisha.
Of course, Allen did not narrowly decide the reason for the elimination. Rather, he much preferred a more flexible transfer intention. That way, it will be convenient when remaking the plate.
Naturally, as an experienced mercenary, he wanted a hefty ransom. He has a whopping 60 gold coins.
In fact, considering the high prices of Vermandois, it couldn’t have been an extremely expensive price, but it was a level that Allen, a money demon, could not accept. Even the blind saint is hitting it with 40 gold coins!
The opponent did not go over smoothly despite Allen’s twist. Indeed, stubbornness that fits the characteristics of [Narcissism] And [Greed].
However, Allen was not without a method either. He slowly started the engine in the mouth.
The very name that Northerners would have no choice but to surrender to!
“I remember the first time I saw Ingmar… !”
Tiger of the North, Ingmar Garbo!
There was no way that even Pergamond, who was from the north, did not know the rumors of Ingmar Danju that came down from above. The fact that Allen Danju healed Ingmar Danju’s demonic disease and shared a warm camaraderie that transcended origins is a moving story that brought hot tears to the hearts of northerners… !
Although Allen slightly dramatized it in the middle, the muscular man squeezed tears from his nose at the touching anecdote.
When the story was over, he jumped up from his seat and thumped his chest with his fists, shouting in a loud voice.
“That is the honor of the North!”
“Right!”
In the end, to the honor of the North, 60 gold coins were cut to 45.
Quite a successful recruitment.
And again, countless mercenaries visited Allen’s office to join, but unfortunately, there were no people who met all the conditions.
If it catches your eye, it’s too expensive, and if it’s cheap, it’s not.
Of course, a considerable number of transfer requests rained down on Allen Danju.
Unexpectedly, the blind saint was second only to Natasha, the gum milk tester, perhaps because of the scary rumors. Unsurprisingly, the two girls were already cut off from Allen’s line. No matter how much he was offered, he had no intention of transferring them. The potential of the two is not at a level that can be converted into money.
The 3rd place is, of course, the redneck wizard. It must have been thanks to his success so far, his uniqueness as a wizard, and his overwhelming udders. … However, Elena is still in need of Allen. Her transfer was something to be considered after at least the situation was enough to make a second team.
And the 4th priority for transfer request is the trainee Viktor. It must be because of his good performance and good attitude. Still, with his [Long Time] Trait, his stats have grown noticeably compared to before.
If he wanted a transfer, he was willing to negotiate, but he refused.
“I’ll stay here rather than go to the humble mercenary.”
Viktor, who saw the potential in Allen, did not want to consider his transfer at all, unless he was at least a mid-level mercenary. Of course, if it’s Viktor, Allen is also welcome. Because the true value of [Later-at-Air Performance] Is displayed more and more as time goes by.
There were few transfer requests for other members. Even the occasional offer wasn’t particularly appealing to Allen.
The old dog Kalisman, who had left around that time, also returned. Back after almost three months.
After meeting his family and hearing that the mercenaries had completed a mission, he couldn’t help but apologize.
“It was unavoidable. I can’t help it.”
As if to repay him, Kalisman almost took over Allen’s escort. Danju also didn’t stop him because his escort was the most comfortable and stable.
When Allen’s recruitment of mercenaries was slower than expected, he eventually invested half of his remaining capital into the inn business. … In fact, one of the inn buildings came out for sale and was quickly purchased.
The location was a little far from the current hideout, but at the moment, the business he could do was limited, so it was a sale that he could not miss. The price was so expensive that it was almost 3,000 gold coins. However, no matter how much Allen was a money ghost, he did not know that reckless saving money was not a good thing. Spend when you spend, how to make a lot of money.
As a result, the number of inn buildings possessed by the Allen-Mercenary Corps became three in total. … And from then on, the pressure of the food supply began to be felt. A situation where the amount of food that Viola Danju gave me was not all covered.
Allen’s business would be much more stable if he increased the grain trade in Maljire, the middle city, and a supply of liquor from the North. However, due to the current lack of capacity to implement it, in the end, the amount that was lacking was decided to be supplied through negotiations with Viola Danju.
Of course, when it came to business issues, the viola was no slouch, no matter who it was. However, it is Allen who is disappointing. He’ll have to be content with getting supplies at a fraction of the market average. … In fact, it was also a little mercy from the viola soloist, thinking that he might have acted a bit too tight. It’s like a parent’s heart that wants to grow strong.
The business expansion, which was a bit jarring at first, was fortunately back on track.
Allen has returned to a peaceful daily life for the first time in a while. It’s really easy.
……… If you think like this, what happens…….
