Chapter 25 – 6. Recruitment. (3)
A total of three recruiting targets for Allen this time.
One good for shielding in the 1st row, one ax in the 2nd row, and one archer in the 3rd row.
Allen wanted to recruit this first row of shields if possible, but he was resolutely rejected by Danju on the first day of the mercenary corps visit.
“Our relationship is strong. I can’t afford to transfer him right now, and I have no desire to. Let’s do something that never happened.”
There was no room for negotiation. Even the target man didn’t seem to have a heart for the transfer…. In fact, it didn’t seem impossible to give Danju a lot of gold coins, but it wasn’t worth the investment.
So, the negotiation attempt for the first person to be recruited ends here.
Allen moved on to the second target.
The leader of this mercenary corps was a person with the [Desire] Trait. With a trait that is one level higher than [Greed], There was a high possibility that the negotiation itself would be quite difficult. … Of course, how many normal babies are there among sobriety?
As expected, as soon as he was on the negotiating table, Danju was a joke from the start.
“200 gold coins.”
Bitch.
Allen almost threw a double curse at the pair of smirking smiles. Seeing his deteriorating expression, the opponent’s sobriety quickly made excuses.
“Do you know how much money I put into raising this kid to be useful? This is payback on that investment.”
“Then keep growing.”
As Allen jumped up and left, he hurriedly grabbed him.
“Okay, okay. Great. I generously patronize it, 180.”
“I won’t give you 100 Yuron. Decide now. To do or not to do.”
He gestured to leave as soon as the negative words came out of his opponent’s mouth. Then the man who is confused.
“No, even so, 100 is too much for a thief!”
“That’s all right.”
Allen turned around and sprinted towards the door, and eventually the opponent surrendered.
“Ah, okay, I got it. 110 pieces. Not below that Let’s negotiate with 110!”
Still, Allen did not stop. In the end, the opponent hit the table with his fist and shouted.
“Okay, 100. Hey sir. Yes, say 100! … Chew.”
Allen smiled and went back to his seat. Even though Dan-joo felt like he was beaten inside, he didn’t understand why he would pay 100 gold coins to take him away. He seems to have some talent, but that’s all. Honestly, where is one or two guys like that on this floor?
Anyway, the two signed a contract. This concludes the agreement between the mercenaries.
Of course, the story would be different if the person concerned strongly opposed the transfer or if the salary agreement did not go smoothly, but that was not the case. A mercenary is a wandering life anyway, so he doesn’t hang on to one mercenary group so much, and when he transfers, his salary is often higher than before. They say they give more than before, but where is the mercenary to refuse?
After the negotiations, the two shook hands lightly.
“Take it yourself.”
“It was a good time.”
As the opponent left, the mercenary who had been waiting outside the door entered. It was the same man Allen had agreed to with 100 gold coins.
[Strength: 28] [Agility: 30] [Stamina: 28] [Intelligence: 11] [Magic power: 5]
[Superiority] [Atmosphere] [Flash] [Greed] [Sensitiveness] [Insomnia]
To be honest, it was ambiguous to say that the stats were so good. It’s to the point where it’s compared to Kalisman, an old dog with [Weakness] Right now. He probably had a high status even within the mercenary corps. From the point of view of the opponent’s sobriety, he must have wondered why he was willing to pay 100 gold coins to take him away.
However, Allen’s position was different from others. I don’t know anything else, but the [Air Expansion] Attribute was very valuable. In particular, among the many characteristics related to stat growth, it is a high-tier characteristic that can be counted in one hand. Although it has the disadvantage that it takes some time to reach the level of stats or higher, it has the advantage that even when you get older, the [Weak] Attribute does not attach, and the stats do not stagnate and grow steadily.
Right now, the sum of the three stats, strength, agility, and physical strength is not even C-class, but if you grow well in a few years, you will quickly reach B-class with a sum of stats of 120.
Of course, I can’t guarantee how long I will take him, but it’s not a bad idea to make a small investment in the future.
“Sit down.”
“Yes.”
The man had a bald head without a single strand of hair, and something like an unknown pattern was drawn on it. Instead of having no hair, he had a shaggy beard. His eyes were sharp like a mercenary’s, and his high nose and thick lips were impressive.
The two men knew each other well. We’ve been seeing each other for ten days in Romellen Plateau. But we never talked about it.
“This is Viktor Melson. Nice to meet you.”
“This is Allen Dwise Pomwell.”
As soon as the mutual introduction was over, Allen lightly rubbed her palms and started a conversation.
“Your Danju and the agreement are over. I’m going to negotiate a salary from now on. … Well, you’re against the transfer, aren’t you?”
Then Viktor smiled lightly and laid his hand on the table. There were many minor scars on his exposed arms and back of his hands.
“I have to go where they need me. There is nothing good for each other if we are forced to stay.”
“It’s a mindset worth emulating.”
“By the way, would you mind if I ask you a question?”
“Try it.”
“Why do you have to fold it? … Frankly, there are some colleagues who are better than me.”
A smile slowly formed on Allen’s lips. She had a strange magical power to attract people there.
“You don’t know, but my ancestors were top lords. The blood of the top state also flows in me. Do you know what that means?”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t invest in things without possibility.”
He rested his arms on the table and rested his chin on the back of his hand. Then he took a deep breath and spoke again.
“Because I see the value of an investment in you. … Are the answers sufficient?”
It wasn’t very clear, but I knew what it felt like.
“… Yes.”
“Great. So let’s start now … How much do you want?”
Allen Danju first occupied an advantageous position for negotiations.
“The money I am receiving right now is 11 gold coins. I don’t ask for much. I will only take 13.”
13?
Allen was a little surprised. She has the [Greedy] Trait, so I thought she would sing more than 15, but she sings 13, which is the Maginot Line, right away.
He thought about putting in one more gold coin, but gave up. It’s not a short-term contract, it’s a long-term contract, so you don’t know how long you’ll see each other face to face, but you can’t blush with just one gold coin. Moreover, the relationship with Viktor may last much longer than expected….
“Okay. Don’t make a deal.”
“Thank you.”
And the two concluded an agreement with thirteen gold coins every month for two years.
As a result, Victor Nelson transferred to Allen-Mercenary Corps.
It was a monumental first transfer student.

Count Herrera stood by the window and smoked a cigarette. He was deeply troubled now.
Despite hearing the shocking words, the daughter’s determination to persevere through it was definitely worthy of applause. As expected, there is no way that a lion’s cub is a cat’s cub.
… But the problem was after that.
– I’ve decided to leave, father. I will go out into the world and gain experience.
As a father, it is right to support his daughter’s determination, but I couldn’t help but worry. How rough the world is! Furthermore, it was never easy to overcome the rough turbulence of that world with a weak woman’s body.
– I decided to work with Allen Danju. I watched from the side. I can trust that man. It is a monopoly worthy of imitation.
The name that came up this time was Allen Mercenary Danju. He was such a great guy that the compliments from his daughter and the captain would dry up.
… I know he’s not formidable, but….
He was certainly a man with the guts and courage to stand firm in front of himself. But you can’t judge everything just by looking at it. Because the Count hadn’t experienced him up close yet.
However, the situation has already reached an irreversible point. He had no choice but to trust and trust her daughter’s eyes.
He quickly rubbed the burnt butt into a crystal glass and extinguished it at the sting of his fingers. And as he got his form to smoke another, someone knocked on the door.
– Father, it’s me.
Ah.
It was Elena’s daughter. The Count put down the tobacco he was holding and changed to a solemn figure.
“Come in.”
With her permission granted, her door slammed open and Elena, dressed in comfy street clothes, entered her office. She greeted her father politely.
“… So, are you leaving now?”
“Yes, Father.”
“As I said before, I respect your decision. So, think carefully, think again, and then make a decision. Got it?”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Yeah, you’re a smart kid, so I’m sure you’ll do well. … What, do you have anything to ask? You can attach a person if you want.”
“No. I will go alone. It’s something I have to do myself.”
… It’s really big. Suddenly grew up
The Count felt something strange. It feels like the baby bird in his arms has grown up and flew away.
This isn’t the picture he was hoping for, but Herrera’s arms for her daughter seemed too narrow. … If leaving is the right thing to do, so be it.
“Then, stay safe until we see you again, Father.”
“… OK. You, too, will be invincible. Sometimes I send letters.”
“Yes.”
Elena bowed her deeply one last time, bowed to her, and left her office. Woo woo. The Count let out a deep breath from her, which had accumulated in his lungs.
The Count, who was immersed in the afterglow for a moment, called the old butler.
“Master, did you call?”
“Send a suitable gift to the Baron Pomwell in the South. Like vases or ornamental items.”
“How can I deliver it?”
Hmm-. The count touched his chin with his hand.
“… Let’s keep a close relationship going forward.”
“All right.”
The butler left and the count went back to the window.
… I don’t know how helpful this will be, but it’s the last thing I can do, daughter.
Sadness flowed in the count’s heart, but the sky was so clear and clear.
Like a good day to leave.
