Chapter 207 – 46. Lecture 10. (One)
Money ghost.
There was a reasonable suspicion that the reason why such a nickname was attached was because of the negotiating quality that had been exchanged between the blind saint and the finger of God in the past. It means that Allen, who has no power or anything, beats mercenaries with money.
Of course, at first, Allen also thought that the money ghost was a bit uncool, but when she heard that something like a golden mouth or a money giraffe had been nominated, he realized that the money ghost was a hundred times better. At least the money ghost has charisma… !
In fact, he didn’t really realize it on the day he reached the top 10, but when he opened his eyes early the next day, the fact that he was in the top 10 touched his heart anew.
…… Really, he became a 10-strong…… !
A goal that was only vague a few years ago has finally been achieved.
Allen swallowed the early morning air at the window and unrestrainedly enjoyed the excitement rising from within.
However, the 10th River is an intermediate course that you just have to go through. …… It’s not like getting into a prestigious university isn’t the end.
The excitement of reaching the top 10 after a 7-year journey faded away when he faced reality again.
Cooling his head warmed by emotion with cold air, he recalled his plans for the future.
The moment he wore the epaulets of the 10th round on his shoulders, he took on more responsibilities and obligations. … From now on, harder and busier days than before will be waiting for him.
Soon, over the dusky dawn sky, the red energy slowly spread.
Dawn broke.
After leaving the room, Allen passed through the quiet hallway and went down to the hall on the first floor. There were all kinds of gifts to celebrate the 10th round.
…… Rather than useless things, I’d rather give them money.
He filled his hungry stomach while thinking like a money ghost.
Now that we’ve reached the top 10, we’ll have to go around busily like going on tour to say thanks.
Allen had tried to see Elizabeth Budanju once, but she was told that she had left for the East late yesterday, as if her heart was twisted. It’s not enough that she was rejected by him, and even my tricks didn’t work, so she can’t be fooled by her personality.
Anyway.
After breakfast, Allen cleanly abluted and started the greeting procession in earnest.
Of course, the first person I met was Prince Murloc. Allen, the money ghost, shook hands with a middle-aged prince whom he hadn’t seen in a while.
The prince smiled benevolently as if he knew this would happen and tapped his arm.
“Georgeko, you’ve reached the top 10! What… , I knew you would achieve it someday.”
“It’s all courtesy from the imperial palace.”
Allen grinned and trembled in humility at the prince’s congratulations. Agnes, who was forcibly brought along by Prince Murloc, was not very interested in who made it to the top 10, but as a matter of etiquette, she congratulated Agnes.
“It’s not like this here, let’s have a cup of tea together.”
The prince, who had been sipping tea in the palace, revealed that His Majesty had great expectations for the future magic light installation business. Now, he wants the west, south, and north roads to start construction as soon as possible….
“It’s not easy to produce magic power, so it takes time to replenish the supply.”
“You have to take that into account.”
The fact that Her Majesty’s permission was granted for her further construction means that Allen’s business venture was a great success.
Even if you roughly calculate the net proceeds that will return to Allen from this Eastern Highway project, at least 30,000 gold coins. As expected, since the business partner became the imperial palace, the amount of profit they earned changed. …… This is probably why people say that networking is money.
… I haven’t gotten my hands on 30,000 gold coins yet, but the Imperial Palace can’t imagine taking 10 gold coins away! Moreover, the murloc prince is not a person with a strong desire for wealth.
After talking about the 10th lecture, business, and safety, the prince’s attention turned to Agnes, who was sitting quietly.
Now that Allen has risen to the top 10, the prince has a reason to be more active. Strictly speaking, the top 10 is recognized as an imperial baron. Of course, it was just an honorary position without a domain, but whether or not you were a noble was a very big issue in this world.
“Agnes. Allen Danju, how dignified you are. Right?”
“…… Yes, that’s right, uncle.”
Of course, the word dignified was far from Allen’s for Agnes, but he still couldn’t refute the words of Uncle Murloc, who looked after him in front of his face.
The prince, who was pleased to see her beautiful figure, suddenly said “Oops” And started acting awkwardly.
“I just remembered something urgent. No no, it’s okay don’t wake up Let the two of you talk.”
At first glance, it was an embarrassing move for Prince Murloc, who was deliberately trying to arrange a cozy place for the two men, but that doesn’t mean he can’t just leave this place.
So, the prince vacated, leaving only two energetic men and women in this space.
However, the atmosphere of the two is completely different from the picture the prince expected.
She kept her mouth shut with her eyes closed and quietly waited for the prince to return. …… In her head, she imagined the swordsmanship training she hadn’t completed before.
And as Allen watched her like that, a smile gradually grew on Allen’s lips.
Now he’s in the top 10.
In fact, the best position you can climb as a mercenary.
…… If that’s the case, it’s okay to be a little more confident than before.
“Miss Agnes.”
A sharp and strong gaze like a hawk came up and stared at Allen.
“I know that you are uncomfortable here.”
“… No.”
“It’s okay. Anyone can see that you and I have different personalities.”
She doesn’t deny
“It seems that His Highness the Prince wants us to get married… , Do not worry. Because that won’t happen. I’m not a blind personhaha.”
“…… I won’t deny it. But I hope you don’t feel angry about it. I had no intention of marrying anyone in the first place.”
“Then I’m glad. Doesn’t that mean I’m not good enough as a man?”
Allen’s relaxed smile slowly faded.
The pointless jokes end here.
“…… But, in a different sense, I want you.”
Agnes’s eyebrows twisted asymmetrically at the sudden change of atmosphere.
Allen placed her hands on the table in her lap and clasped them together.
“Agnes Neptune. I want to recruit you……. How much is it?”
· · ·
Ha.
To Alloa, who she had been waiting for her future husband, the one she had been waiting for had finally arrived.
The Prophet was so happy that he forgot his face and fell into his arms.
“I heard the news. Congratulations. Really… !”
She, who was so proud of her future husband who came back proudly as a top 10, even moistened the corners of her eyes.
“It’s everyone’s credit.”
“You suffered the most, what?”
Her soft laugh flowed, and she, belatedly realizing her own ugliness, sighed and stepped back from her, turning her around for a moment to fix her dress again. Even her wet eyes were pricked with her fingers.
……… And, turning around again……… !
Suddenly everything around me changed.
Not only the drawing room, but also Allen Danju disappeared without a trace. … No, the environment itself is everything. Like magic… !
The bloody sky and the bubbling hot land.
She jumped in place as if the soles of her feet were burning hot.
Ah, ah-
Why is this all of a sudden… !
In the midst of meeting her long-awaited husband and trying to get along, what a terrible thing this is!
“Mr. Allen! Mr. Allen!”
She called his name anxiously there, where no one was there, but he was nowhere to be seen.
“Hey, honey, honey, where are you… !”
She called him again and again, with her tears streaming down her face.
The soles of her feet were already charred by the hot ground. She ran and ran, howling in pain.
Just then, something caught her eye.
It’s on the floor…… , Was one book.
An old old book with nothing written on it, on a dark red cover.
But as soon as she saw it, an indescribable fear and anguish ran through her body.
Ah-.
Strangely, however, the body continued to go to the book. …… No, the reason she ran from the beginning was to find that book.
Hate, hate, honey, honey, help me, honey, help me—-.
She cried out, but couldn’t stop her hand from moving spontaneously towards her book.
…… And that moment when she puts her hand on the cover of that eerie book and is about to turn it over…… !
– Aloaaaaa!!!
As soon as she heard her harsh voice, she felt her body being sucked into something.
And when I opened my eyes again, I saw Allen’s face.
“Honey, honey… !”
Alloa cried and fell into Allen’s arms. He hugged her tightly and gave her a gentle pat on the back, reassuring her that it was okay.
He asked her what she had seen as she settled down again.
“A book, yes. It’s a book. A dark red, eerie, book… !”
A dark red book!
Allen immediately recognized the identity of the book Alloa had seen.
A book of eternal damnation and corruption.
Devil’s Book.
…… Chapter 4 hits hard right from the start.
