Chapter 215 – 48. The Book of Demons. (3)
Allen communicated frequently with Granzo Danzoo through Slut Mage Elena. He suggested that if Granzo Danzoo wanted to, he would seek help from the saintess of the Holy Land. Apparently, the Smell Saint has a good understanding of tracking. Of course, it wouldn’t be easy for a saintess to vacate her holy kingdom for a long time, but if she explained that it was a crisis on the continent, she would probably accept it.
However, the sucker master delivered that there was a very sure way for Granzo Danju.
“A very sure way?”
When Allen asked, Elena answered.
“Part of the devil’s book that Granzo Danzou had was slightly torn. Just follow the direction it points to.”
“…… Okay?”
In fact, using paper for tracking was a method that [Guild Master] Also used occasionally. Then, the time to collect information can be reduced to the minimum.
However, it also had the risk that the Devil’s Book could be completed if done wrong. In fact, Allen also completed the incomplete Devil’s Book while doing that, and fought directly against the near-perfect devil Rensiros.
Of course, there was no case of using a piece of paper torn in the game, so Allen did not assume that assumption itself. He of course he didn’t know it was going to be. …… However, if it is possible, it is an undeniable fact that it is currently the best method available to them.
“So when are you leaving?”
“They have already departed.”
“Already? … That’s fast.”
“He said that it would be easier to deal with the Devil’s Book if you gather as little as possible.”
“That’s right.”
The Demon’s Seren, the collection of all the negative things in this world that the demon Renciros stole and recorded even from his fellow demons.
Each time it unfolded, no one knew what kind of black magic would emerge. It could be a curse, it could be a dictum, it could be a disaster, it could be a pestilence, it could even be death.
In other words, the closer the Devil’s Book got to completion, the more difficult it became for the opponent.
Allen, who had been tapping the table with his fingers, stopped contemplating and nodded heavily.
“…… Great. Is the kids dinner over? When you’re done eating, gather in the meeting room. It is an urgent meeting.”
“Yes, Danju!”
Urgent meeting.
With that word, the 8 members of the 1st team and the 6 members of the 2nd team stopped everything and gathered in the conference room on the top floor of the building.
Allen, who watched the members enter the meeting room one by one with his hands folded and his legs crossed in the most prestigious seat.
All members of the mercenary corps gathered together and the door to the conference room was closed. And after confirming that all the members were seated in their seats, Danju, the money ghost, nodded lightly and got up from his seat.
“Are you all gathered?”
“Yes, Danju.”
First meeting after reaching the round of 10.
Perhaps because of this, there was a slight tension between the members.
Danju, who was tapping his palms with a pointing stick, went to the map attached to the wall and hit Dongbu with the stick.
“Everyone knows something very similar has happened to the East.”
“Yes-.”
“This time, Granzo Danju is directly involved. Of course, I decided to cooperate. Granzo Danju has already departed from the capital, and we will prepare as quickly as possible and move eastward.”
Top 10 Granzo – Mercenaries!
They are also said to be in the top 10, but compared to Grenzo-Mercenaries, their name value was inevitably lower. That’s why the opponent’s status is overwhelming even within the top 10.
Allen sighed and took a deep breath before opening his mouth in a solemn tone.
“The Devil’s Book is a very heinous thing that easily surpasses your common sense. It will be very, very difficult to deal with. But we are in the top 10. … Then, no matter what problems lie in front of us, we must be determined to tackle them. That’s why I’m taking you guys. Because I judged him to be a talented person.”
Danju glanced at the faces of the members and nodded once.
“Trust each other. Believe in yourself. I believe in you guys too. You guys believe in me too Then there will be no problem. Got it?”
“All right!”
“Great. Get ready to leave by tomorrow. Hurry up. …… Then my talk is over. Anyone have something to say?”
Then the furry Geese raised her hand. Allen was a little embarrassed, but he gave her a nod of her chin.
“You kids, what are you doing? Park Soo-woo!”
At the same time, Geese clapped loudly, and the rest laughed and clapped.
…… Bastard, your social life is fucking good.
“And Asmonde joins the first team briefly.”
“Uh…, Ah, I see!”
When my name was called, the bonfire was started and answered loudly.
“Then break up.”
So, even the bonfire Asmond, who was in the 2nd group, temporarily joined the 1st group, and a total of nine people prepared to leave for the mission.
Allen informed the Prophet Alloa of this fact. …… Unfortunately, her progress with her has no choice but to stop here.
“You must be safe… !”
The two men and women shared a deep farewell kiss again.
Before he left, he handed over the sobriety agency for a while to the old dog Kalisman. And don’t forget to give advice to Charlotte Danju to be good at Dandori both inside and out.
Even if Danju is away for a while, the mercenary group that does not waver is a truly strong mercenary group.
And two days later, the Allen-Mercenary Corps departed for the east early in the morning, escorted by Danju Viola.
Towards the iron fortress, Karlstad—-.
· · ·
The Iron Fortress arrived a little over 15 days later.
As it is one of the largest cities on the continent, its logistics volume and population were on a different level from Vermandois. In particular, almost all of the logistics from the eastern southern part to the central part passed through this place, to the extent that it would not be an exaggeration to say. That means you can eat a huge toll.
Seeing that scene, Allen’s desire to cross the gorge that connects the south and the center intensified even more. …… If that’s all successful, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he really lives in an entire city.
It was an appearance in the 10th lecture, but Allen didn’t dare to talk about it. In the eastern part and the nearby large cities, the Renciros Church is secretly guarding the keys while holding their breath. If you say that the top 10 has come, you can’t help but focus their attention on this side.
“Keep as quiet as possible. Even if you’re a mercenary, you should act like a nerd. Got it?”
“Yes, Danju.”
“From the moment we left Vermandois, the mission began. We’re already fighting the devil. So never relax.”
“All right.”
“Great. Rest.”
The Allen-Mercenary Corps arrived in Karlstadt, and about three or three days later, the Grenzo-Mercenary Corps arrived late. Like very seasoned mercenaries, they naturally melted into the people. So much so that no one knows their identities.
The money ghost and the non-ghost reunited after a long time and exchanged friendly handshakes.
“It’s been a while, my lord.”
“Thank you for your active cooperation.”
“Considering what Dan Lord has done for you, it’s a natural thing to do.”
The evil spirit smiled contentedly. If it was none other than the top 10 Allen-Mercenary Corps, Granzo Danju could trust me enough and entrust me.
“However, with this number of people, it might be a bit overwhelming. We need two or three more mercenaries. Wouldn’t it be good for you to be clear?”
“Sure. So you said see you in Karlstadt.”
“Okay. And I have my line on this side, so I can keep things undercover.”
“Then I will know.”
Thus, Granzo Danju started secretly recruiting mercenaries using his connections.
· · ·
At the request of the middleman, who repeatedly emphasized top secret, water wizard Pickbas Danju stood in front of a building nestled deep in a back alley with a cloth wrapped around his face.
Originally, the door of the shabby inn building, which was supposed to be crowded with people, was swaying in the wind with a business suspension sign hanging on it. He checked the secret symbol marked very small under the threshold, looked around to see if anyone was watching, then opened the door and went inside.
Squeak, with a creepy hinge sound, the big man at the counter spoke in a low voice as if scratching iron.
“Business is over.”
“…… It’s Pickbass. Malco introduced me.”
When Pickbas, referring to Malco, held out his mercenary plaque to prove his identity her, her man nodded toward her stairs, telling her to go up.
Pick Bass Danju carefully climbed the stairs, untangling the wrapping cloth from his head and tying it to my forearm.
The hallway on the second floor was dark. However, there was only one room in which the light leaked out. He said there he was, and moved his steps there.
He stood at the door, knocked politely, and carefully opened the door.
There were two people in a fairly large room. A grim-looking man with scars on his face, and a pretty young man who didn’t seem to have done a dirty job, let alone hold a weapon.
“…… Nice to meet you.”
The two of them just nodded lightly without saying a word.
They’re dumb kids.
Of course, Danju Pickbus, who had been through countless fucking mercenaries, did not want to do that despite the sullen reaction. By the standards of a mercenary, he was already above average just for not being smitten with lust upon seeing it.
Pickbas also took one of the empty seats and sat down. However, he was so talkative that he could not stand it because his mouth his was itchy.
“Were you also introduced by Malco?”
“Because they gave me a lot of money.”
The Scared Man answered that. In fact, the reason for the water mage was the same.
“What is your name?”
“… The King of Destruction Shikuku!”
The scarred man brought out a nickname that would be embarrassing even if others said it without shame. Then, the young man burst into laughter.
“Fuck, are you laughing? Who are you, you bastard?”
“You will find out later. Don’t rush.”
“Damn it, I was scared. Huh. That’s right, there’s no bastard who doesn’t tremble when he hears the name of this King of Destruction. If you hit me, I will look after you.”
The Scared Man is the self-proclaimed King of Destruction, Shikuku. It’s a name even the water mage Pickbas knows well.
“Five! I am Pickbus.”
“… Are you the water mage?”
The Master of Water is also quite a famous person on this floor. It’s rare for Danju to be a wizard in the first place.
“Well, it’s not even called that.”
As the self-proclaimed King of Destruction and the Water Wizard were exchanging a few words, the sound of someone stepping on the old wooden floor was heard. And a wooden door that will open soon.
The person who appeared was the head of the brigade, covered in tattoos from head to toe, with holes drilled everywhere. At first glance, he looks like a barbarian shaman.
The tattooist muttered indifferently as he glanced over the three men occupying the room with slightly drowsy eyes.
“There are only young cubs.”
Hunter Ompu. This tattoo-covered figure is also quite famous among mercenaries.
“Cyber, the crazy year has come.”
“Close your baby’s cheeks.”
As soon as they met, an unusual fight broke out between the sophomores. Of course, in the mercenary world, fights like this are very common. This was especially the case with the sophomores who lead the crew. In fact, the fact that there wasn’t a lot of blood was a sign of mutual restraint.
Of course, the reason why these bastards came this far, and what kills their personality is all the power of money. If you make a mistake, a lot of money will fly away, but you have to scrape off the patience you didn’t have.
“This is the first face I see. You’re so damn handsome Do you sleep big? Show me and I’ll give you money. If you like it, suck it.”
Ompu extended his hooked tongue and licked his lips strangely as he proposed to the young man.
“How much?”
“Five gold coins.”
“It’s too salty.”
“Ten gold coins. Are you okay?”
“I would seriously consider it if I had one hundred.”
“Cyber, fuck me. Don’t do it, bastard.”
“Don’t hate it.”
After one round of negotiations was over, another squeaking sound was heard.
The eyes of the four gathered at the door that was about to open.
At the appearance of a middle-aged man who was quite tall and gave off a cool impression, the faces of the sophomores instantly stiffened.
The momentum that radiated instinctively from his body is overwhelming to say the least. It was like a herbivore standing in front of a carnivore.
“Ah, are you here?”
“Are you all gathered?”
“Yes.”
With sharp eyes, the middle-aged man carefully examined the self-proclaimed King of Destruction, the Water Mage, and the Tattooist.
“How do you see it?”
“What…, I think I just managed to use it. It’s a little ambiguous to delay more time.”
“Is it.”
The young man laughed heartily.
“But…, I think you need a little mental training.”
At that time, the water wizard who was swallowing saliva asked the identity of the middle-aged man.
“Who are you… ?”
“Ah, my introduction was late.”
The middle-aged man with his hands behind his back revealed his identity.
“It’s Granzo.”
Just one word.
That Ren Joe.
The three danju that harden as soon as the name comes out.
…… Is that Renzo? …… I know that, Granzo…… ?
Top 10, Danju, Fierce Ghost Granzo.
A master of fire magic who is known as a living legend in the mercenary world.
No matter how much they flew and crawled in the Iron Fortress, Carlstadt, they dared not compare to Granzo Danju.
The three jumped up from their seats as soon as they heard Granzo’s name, while Danju Granzo sat down next to the young man.
Then, their eyes could not but naturally reach the young man. I was curious about who you are.
… It’s like people who thought they were of the same type, but it turned out that they showed a vast difference in class.
“I am, Allen Danju. They say I’m a money freak….”
“Haha, it seems to suit me.”
Top 10 sober, money ghost Allen!
In this narrow space, there were as many as two 10-strong singles that are said to drop flying birds.
In particular, the sophomores who poured out all kinds of bullshit on Allen had no choice but to become blue in the face.
Allen said with a grin and a chin gesture to the hardened tattooist.
“The hundred gold coins earlier were sincere.”
