Chapter 154 – 35. The Gathering of the Openers. (One)
“Long time no see.”
“Right. Two months? … Sit back.”
Sword Emperor Magnus welcomed the fire-ghost Granzo who came to his hideout. Compared to the muscular and bulky Magnus, Grenzo was a bit dwarfed, but he wasn’t skinny either. His muscles aren’t perfect, but his body is solid without any flab. On top of that, the sleek yet sharp eyes were a bit of a contrast to the gentle expression of Magnus.
However, those sharp eyes that seemed to pierce through anything normally were bent especially softly today. Of course, it was a minor change that others couldn’t recognize, but the sharp eyes of the Sword Emperor caught it.
“Would you like a cup of tea?”
“Car? Tea is good It’s been a while since I’ve been here, so I’ll have a drink.”
Geomje tilted the teapot into a small teacup and filled it with transparent contents. And asheheld it out in front of his guest, he tossed a word as if passing by.
“You look good? What good is it?”
“Uh? … Oh what… , It has to happen.”
A faint smile appeared on Granzo’s lips, and Magnus urged him once more.
“Tell me. What? Are there any secrets between us?”
“What is our relationship?”
When Magnus laughed softly instead of answering, Grenzo shook his head.
“Don’t laugh that much. Be kind.”
“Tell me. What could please the world’s Granzo? Well? … It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you like it so much.”
Then, the fiendish Grenzo lightly rubbed his hands together and brought up his story.
“Finally out. Open the door.”
As soon asheheard that, Sword Emperor Magnus couldn’t contain his surprise. It’s a lot bigger than expected.
“Really?”
“Sure. It’s been twenty years. Twenty years! After twenty years, a new face has finally appeared!”
“…… I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Magnus fully understood Grenzo’s joy. After a long wait, my comrade finally appeared, how can I not be happy?
Of course, the Sword Emperor also had a rising figure. Allen-The mercenary’s woman named Natasha.
“Are you Elizabethson?”
It was already openly said among them that the next successor would be Elisabeth Viceroy. Doesn’t she attract attention as a genius who will lead the future of magic?
Contrary to expectations, however, Granzo’s head swung resolutely from side to side.
“No. So I was also surprised. …… Certainly, the continent is vast. Unexpected genius comes out of nowhere.”
“But…. Because I also suddenly met such a genius.”
“Ah, she is the woman who surpasses that Agnes? …… Was it Natasha?”
“Okay. …… Who is the genius you met?”
Grenzo, who took a sip of tea and moistened his lips, brought out a name.
“Elena, say…. He said he belonged to the Allen-mercenary corps.”
At the words Allen-Mercenary Corps, Magnus’ hand that was lifting the teacup instantly stopped as if it had turned to stone. His warm expression gradually hardened, and his gaze from looking at the teacup went up to look at his friend.
“…… What?”
“Elena.”
“No, after that.”
“… Allen-mercenaries? … Why?”
The Geomje put down the teacup and lightly tapped his chin with his finger, making a slightly serious expression.
…… Does that mean it’s not just luck?
Riding the halo of the viola in the top 10? It could be.
Having a great swordsman named Natasha? … That would be possible too.
…… However, the fact that there was even a genius wizard who opened the door to mana was a different story.
A person who will become a future archmage. The existence of such an existence alone would raise the status of the Allen-Mercenary Corps to the top of the 10th. By the way, there is even a swordsman in the next sword system? …… It couldn’t be seen as a mere coincidence. Never.
“Hey, Magnus. What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“… No. Nope.”
“No, what is it? This person … Allen – Is there something in the mercenaries? …… No way?”
The very clever Grenzo saw through Magnus’ mind in an instant. Apparently, the woman named Natasha also belongs to the Allen Mercenary Corps.
The Geomje asked while looking at the fire ghost that read his thoughts.
“What do you think?”
“What do you think? …… That man has something. Do you have the same ability as Viola or Elizabeth?”
“Well. I don’t know about that, but he’s a great guy. … Even those two women weren’t quite like this. If that was the case, there would be a lot of uproar.”
The next great swordsman of great talent. The next great wizard who opened the door.
And the mercenary leader with the two of them.
“Looks like Viola saw something. I should have recognized her when she suddenly brought in an unheard of fledgling. …… I thought she was brought here because she has a good-looking face.”
Grenzo, the immortal ghost, also brought up the story of his failure in trying to appease the suckling wizard.
“And the loyalty was great too? It wasn’t at the level of appeasement. …… Still, isn’t it enough for me?”
“Did you too?”
“… You too?”
The two were momentarily at a loss for words.
Even the loyalty towards Danju is amazing.
To be honest, the concentration of power was a bit risky. It’s because one person is given an enormous amount of power.
Still, mercenaries tended to be swayed by money, so it was rare for them to focus on one person. Especially the strong ones like that. … To be honest, at that level, rather than working for someone else, it is a common situation to create one’s own mercenary group.
Danju of two genius talents who caught the eyes of the Sword Emperor and the Unghost.
Grenzo wanted to meet Danju and have a proper conversation.
…… Well, it’s a perfect opportunity.
Since Elena said she was on her way to the capital with the mercenaries, she should invite Danju to this meeting as well.
In fact, this meeting is for the purpose of welcoming newcomers, but there won’t be any problem if one more person joins. … And I’m also curious about how Scone and Shetlan see Allen Danju.
“Anyway, okay. Then let’s go. The tea was good.”
“… Already?”
“Already, you old man. I’ve split my busy time. Aren’t you busy too?”
“… Okay Good going.”
The two giants of the mercenary world said goodbye and parted ways after a friendly handshake.
· · ·
As expected, the Allen-Mercenary Corps arrived in the capital in about 15 days. This is my second visit.
As soon as they passed through the outer gate of the capital, they went straight to the inn. Because the members have been busy and hard, Allen gave them free time along with a special bonus. … No matter how much he was a money ghost, he did not save money unconditionally. In a way, this is also a kind of investment.
And on the very day we arrived in the capital.
The Patton Master conveyed the word to Allen Danju that he was also invited to the meeting.
“Me? … A gathering of people who opened doors?”
“I don’t know why. He said there was no need to worry. You don’t have to come if you don’t want to….”
“No, I was invited to a great gathering, but of course I have to go.”
I was still thinking about how to have a meeting. But if the other side invited you first, you must accept it unconditionally.
The meeting time is tomorrow evening. The place is the hideout of the Granzo-Mercenary Corps.
… Frankly, Allen was looking forward to it more than ever. Speaking of those who opened doors, aren’t they the same as the teacher of the blind saintess, wrapped in a veil? More than anything else, I was curious about the status window.
The night passed like that, and the long-awaited time finally arrived.
Allen and Elena headed to the hideout of the Granzo-Mercenary Corps in clean, if not flashy, clothes.
Unlike the frugal and modest hideout of Magnus, the sword emperor, this place was very luxurious and luxurious. After all, Allen is an undeniable wizard, and a peek laughed out.
The gatekeeper became nervous as soon as he confirmed the identity of the two guests. Probably the shape that Granzo Danju emphasized very much.
Soon, a guide came out of the front door in a hurry. The man, who appeared to be in his mid-to-late thirties, identified himself as the sub-owner of the Grenzo Mercenary Corps.
“Ah, nice to meet you. This is Allen Danju. This is Elena.”
The person who was the vice-captain of the Grenjo-mercenary corps bowed deeply to the waist to the two distinguished guests. … Strictly speaking, that was treatment towards her comrade Elena.
“The Lord Dan is the order to serve with utmost sincerity. Please follow me.”
Allen also expected that she would be treated well, but it was unexpected that she would be treated this much. … It must mean that Granjo Danju has a special affection for the person who opened the door.
The two men and women followed incessantly to the third floor of the hideout building. The meeting place was a place overlooking the beautiful night scenery of the capital city.
…… And right there, Allen saw three men and women huddled together.
Danju Granzo.
Lady Shetlan.
Scones inspiration.
“Nice to meet you, I am Allen Danju.”
Allen Danju gave her self-introduction by lightly bowing her head.
Three pairs of eyes searched him from head to toe.
Allen Danju….
A person who might change the game of the mercenary world.
And Allen too
I finally met the people who opened the door.
