Chapter 273 – 64. The Return, and the Case. (2)
On the day of the solar eclipse, numerous sects of heretics scrambled to spread all kinds of evil on the continent, as if to spread the greatness of the devil they believed in.
The mercenary city of Vermandois was also not completely free from its evil influence. No matter how much it is protected by the World Tree, it is not possible to keep an eye on every human being.
Heresy targeted the most vulnerable slums in Vermandois. The poor and ugly have a stronger desire for success and wealth than anyone else. Such material greed made it easier to fall into the devil’s temptations.
And so, on the day of the eclipse, when God’s protection disappears.
Numerous demonic figures appeared in the slums.
Curse and hallucination, murder and adultery, insult and betrayal.
Those who were absorbed in heresy and dedicated their souls to the devil even turned into demons.
In order to solve this phenomenon that occurred simultaneously in the slums, Danju the viola and Danju the blood club in the 10th iron mask ran all over the place until the soles of their feet were on fire. Because accidents happened in so many places, even Danju had to step in.
In this way, the two top 10 resolved the incident that occurred in Vermandois over three days. Still, it’s a relief that it wasn’t such a terrible accident that opened the gates of the spirit world or hell.
Viola Danju, who returned after solving all the evils of heresy, hugged her beloved son, Karl, who had just taken his first steps, and showered her with kisses on his soft forehead.
Iron Mask prayed over and over again that Allen, who left the expedition, would come back safely without any damage. Unlike the other top 10, she was proud of him, who always took the lead in doing things for the continent, but on the other hand, she was worried.
… Carl, don’t worry too much about me…
Just like that, two months after the eclipse passed, Allen’s group finally returned to Vermandois.
As soon as she heard the news that Allen had arrived, Danju Viola burst out of Ajit’s office unlike usual. Carrying her son Karl in her arms, she hurried to Allen’s hideout.
Allen, who was darker than usual, her face flushed as if she had suffered a lot.
Now, the green youthful features of him gradually disappeared, and her seasoned, stalwart features gradually darkened.
A great mercenary who is respected by all.
“Ah, are you here?”
The two were a certified top 10 couple, but Allen still treated Viola respectfully in her vacancy. Of course, the same goes for the viola.
“How are you feeling? Are there any injuries?”
“Hey, you’re just giving orders from behind. Except for the lack of sleep, everything is fine.”
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her husband, her wife finally wiped her heart with a sigh of relief.
As Allen opened her arms slightly to Viola’s arms, her wife handed her husband her beloved child.
“How have you been with your mother, Carol?”
The money ghost swallowed a lot of the baby’s unique milk smell coming from Karl’s body. Oddly enough, smelling the incense did not calm her mind.
“Ababa.”
Kaal babbles into Allen’s arms, her twinkling eyes. Still, he seems to know instinctively that he is my father.
Viola Danju smiled with the happiest face in the world and imprinted the image of her two father and son deeply in her mind.
“Father is going to be hard. Come here.”
Viola received another son from Allen. Since he had just returned, he must have suffered a lot mentally and physically.
“Did the job go well?”
“Good.”
“… In fact, there were many problems here during the eclipse.”
The iron mask recited briefly about the various incidents that it had experienced at that time. Hearing this, Allen let out a small sigh.
“… As expected, heresy is the problem.”
Hearing that heresy was the problem, Viola’s heart was pounding for nothing. I wondered if Allen was doing something dangerous to root out heresy again.
“Can you still do it? They’re like tenacious weeds, you can pull them out and you can’t get rid of them. … In the end, it is something that needs to be taken into consideration.”
When the atmosphere is about to subside slightly because of heresy.
Maybe mama
Their attention turned back to their beloved son.
Viola rose from her seat with her son in her arms. Her Allen’s going to check her condition, now she’s gone so he can clean up after her and get some rest.
“I will go now.”
“Already?”
“You just got back. I have a lot of time besides today…”
Allen, too, did not dare to hold on to Viola, who was about to leave.
After the iron mask left, the money ghost cleaned up and grasped the current situation, and went to bed before evening.
Woo woo.
As I lay down on the bed, I took a long, languid breath.
This damn expedition.
He picked up the leather pouch lying beside the bed and pulled the string that closed the opening. Then the fresh smell of money pierced his nose.
The money ghost smelled the fragrant money and closed his eyes happily.
… Because if you go out, you will suffer. After all, it’s best to sit still and make money…

The construction of the grand market is now almost finished.
Of course, even if it was the same market, the street market and the main market in Vermandois were on a different level.
Magical lights that do not turn off even at night stood on the streets, and marble statues of artists stood in the middle of the streets, showing off their beautiful appearance.
Its culmination is the central plaza of the Great Market with a circular tower. With a gorgeous fountain, it was also popular as a dating spot for lovers.
Even all of this is free!
There was also no tax that the merchants hated to death, so merchants who wanted to establish themselves in even a small section of the market flocked like bees from all over the continent.
Of course, the cost of occupying the area is not easy, but it is still very small compared to the ridiculously dripping taxes.
At first, the crowds huddled in the central area soon spread throughout the market.
Because people flocked from all over the continent, there really wasn’t anything in the great market here in Vermandois. In addition, there is no tax, so the price is also cheaper than in the capital.
Even the money that Allen receives for his occupancies is more than 10,000 gold coins every month. Of course, it would take several years to cover all the huge construction costs used in the construction of the market, but the reason he created the market was not just to receive occupation fees.
There are some things to get away from the complicated and messy street market, but crucially, it is for him to eat the core area of the market. The seat of the street market with a long history is intertwined with the complex stakes of many merchants, so it is usually not a headache to eat one section.
Of course, if you don’t have enough money, you don’t know, but now that you have enough money to create a great market like this, you don’t have to covet other people’s things. It’s much more profitable to look into the distant future to make the entire market your own.
There were only two top 10 forces to rebel anyway, but the viola was already on his side, so if he coaxed only the jione well, there was no particular problem.
… To be honest, in Vermandois, who would dare to offend Allen Danju? Even if it’s just Gione’s sake!
His influence has already risen to the top 10. Even the quick-witted Geo-ye Danju doesn’t know that, so he won’t bother scratching it.
Still, Allen had no intention of touching even prostitution and gambling, the main businesses of the Zione-Mercenary Corps. Of course, I intend to do so in the future. Didn’t he even make his own area in one corner of the Great Market? The best thing here is to help each other out.
Of course, Allen wasn’t just interested in market business.
In the end, all of this can be achieved only when the mercenary business, which is the foundation, is strong.
No matter how much property you have, it is useless if you do not have the strength to properly protect it.
Allen did not mercilessly throw away his ponytail Enoch, who had lost his left arm on this expedition. Of course, it would be difficult for him to remain in the 1st division, so he decided to come down to the 2nd division, assisting Captain Kalisman, and focusing on nurturing his successor. He only has one right arm left, but he’s definitely a talented person. He decided to keep keeping his salary, of course, without taking a cut.
The decision to embrace the member who lost his arm to the end was not simply to show kindness or mercy.
Allen’s advanced calculations were included in it.
It is to invest in the loyalty of the members who remain and will come in, and a sense of benevolence befitting the status of a top 10 sober.
If money was more important than human beings before reaching the 10th, after becoming the 10th, money is also money, but human relationships could not be considered.
In a dangerous event like this expedition, there was nothing more embarrassing as a sobriety than not stepping out because everyone was sacrificing themselves. Loyalty is money for mercenaries, but even so, there are things that can’t be done with just money.
Even if things go wrong, I will take care of you until the end—-, such insurance is somewhat necessary.
Ultimately, this decision came from there.
Thanks to this, it was said that he saw Allen, the money ghost, in a new way on this floor. He did not know that a money ghost who was obsessed with money would make such a decision.
To be honest, it’s normal for most sophomores to throw out mercenaries who have run out of usefulness right after the contract is over. Even if it’s the 10th, it’s not an exception. … In fact, isn’t Danju a viola famous as a person who has no blood or tears when it comes to iron masks?
Of course, not all reviews of the decision were positive. Especially among the sobriety, there were often those who said they were doing useless things.
However, at least within the Allen-Mercenary Corps, the atmosphere was very satisfied with Dan Lord’s decision. In particular, Enoch, the ponytail, seemed to be sincerely admiring Allen Danju, who was trying to take responsibility for himself, who thought he would be abandoned when the contract ended.
Exactly, the picture Allen wanted was drawn.
Anyway, after returning, the work was completed well, and around the time it went back to normal days.
Indeed, it is.
Suddenly thinking of something, Allen wrote a letter to Danju Raiga, the monster of the top 10 in the North.
– Always be alert and keep an eye on the situation in the north.
– Disaster will come.
It will probably explode sooner or later in the North,
It was a warning about the catastrophe of ‘infinite cold’.
