Chapter 309 – 73. Commission. (One)
In fact, when the neat Nikolai was decided as the semifinalist, there was a bit of noise here and there. It’s the complaints of the finalists. Why don’t they have a chance to re-challenge?
– Opportunity? Gist. Come on. If you kill me, don’t cross the 10th.
The attitude of a neat person is to accept any challenge. So, all the candidates evenly attacked him, but in the end, they could not overcome his wall. … I don’t know anything else, but at least in terms of skills, neat people are far superior to them. And that was enough reason for the mercenaries to understand.
Of course, Allen didn’t care whether the tidyer and his candidates quarreled or not. Now, his position and reputation aren’t trivial enough to bother him with that kind of brawling. In the yard where much more important things are scattered!
The Money Ghost met the Murloc Emperor early in the morning and informed him that he planned to leave the capital in the early afternoon.
“Are you leaving already?”
“You know my circumstances. Work has piled up in Vermandois now.”
“How about settling down in the capital?”
“When I am here, what do people say? I also have some doubts. It is beneficial to both me and Your Majesty that I go to Vermandois.”
“Who doubts your loyalty?”
“How nice it would be if everyone had the same heart as me, Your Majesty. But the world is a cruel place. If possible, it is best to avoid rumors.”
Huh.
The murloc emperor groaned.
“Okay. I can’t help it. … If anything happens next, bring Agnes with you. See your face for the first time in a while.”
“All right.”
“By the way… , What happened in the 10th round?”
“There must have been some small quarrels on the east side. It’s not something His Majesty should worry about.”
“Isn’t River 10 dead?”
“If you have to say it in the top 10, you are a mercenary. Fights between mercenaries are very common. Doesn’t His Majesty know a little about your physiology?”
… To be honest, I wasn’t wrong.
Still, when the emperor was not immediately convinced, Allen gave a more honest answer.
“I just wanted to avoid the hassle again. Also, if you do this and that to decide on the top 10, doesn’t a week pass quickly? … Your Majesty, please understand.”
“Hmmmm! It’s because I’m you, so it’s special!”
“Aigoo, Seong-eun is embarrassed.”
The emperor cleared his throat again, then looked at Allen’s eyes and took her luck away.
“… Then, instead, can you lower the price of the floating ship a little bit more… ?”
This gentleman is real.

The Vermandois rose high into the sky where the sun was floating in the middle of the sky. Onlookers burst into exclamations as the boat soared into the sky.
Rick, the lucky man who finally made it to the top 10, looked at the capital city, which was getting farther and farther away, with a very thrilled expression on his face. The Rick-Mercenaries, who had suffered together in the meantime, still had a smile on their lips.
– We are leaving.
At the sound of her primary pilot Elena’s announcement, the Vermand Duis pierced her air and began to sprint forward toward her.
The capital city that quickly becomes smaller and eventually becomes a dot.
Allen stared at her capital, then turned her head away.
He gradually felt problems with the system of the top 10 and the method of selection.
The existence of 10 rivers.
Unfair selection.
Bias of power.
Of course, the power and status of the top 10 have not faded yet, but it is an open fact that everyone knows that the perception is no longer the same as before.
… Is it really right that the leader of the mercenaries is decided not by the mercenaries, but by the nobles and the imperial palace… ?
Dongbu has already taken over almost half of the top 10 spots.
Allen had the idea that the aristocratic and mercenary societies should be thoroughly separated. The moment the two are united, it becomes nothing more than an enlisted soldier… Aren’t the top 10 in the east already degenerated like the mercenaries under the Duke of Bellver?
The 10-strong system chosen to prevent excessive concentration of force is now causing the phenomenon of concentration of force.
It was at this point that a solution was needed.
· · ·
The Vermandois flew from the capital to Vermandois in a week. And at the same time, the news that the lucky guy Rick had made it to the top 10 also spread widely in Vermandois.
Allen rented an inn building separately to the lucky man Rick-Mercenary Corps, who had reached the top 10. Now that they are also in the top 10, they should separate from Allen Hideout and make a new nest.
The money ghost chose a particularly sunny spot and planned to build Rick’s hideout. Fortunately, many skilled workers gathered in Vermandois, so construction can proceed quickly.
Of course, it was not built for free, and the construction cost was specially lent to Rick at no interest. He also has money saved up, but it’s a huge project to build a very large building, so the cost is considerable. … You have to work to pay the borrowed money!
Other than that, it was a series of days with nothing particularly special.
The Great Market was still crowded, business continued to thrive, and the damn mercenary town was still there.
However, Allen, the money ghost, frequently communicated with Viola and Granzo Danju, and shared opinions several times about the problems of the 10 lectures and their solutions.
Surprisingly, the conservative side of the viola group was of the opinion that it was necessary to touch the system that had been hardened for decades.
On the other hand, Granzo, a radical non-ghost who wants to burn away anything he doesn’t like, recognizes the problem with the 10th lecture and struggles to find a way to fix it.
So Allen, the money ogre, formed a meeting in Vermandois in advance, before the institutional reform, which was not known when.
It was an exchange meeting for mercenaries that anyone registered in the guild could participate in. And among them, mercenaries with more than 10 years of experience added a special senior position. To acknowledge long experience and merit.
Allen, the money ghost, invited all the mercenaries to the large auditorium building in one corner of the Great Market.
The 1st, Danju exchange meeting regular meeting.
When you hear that you can get free food and drink, of course the mercenaries who like free food refuse it! Furthermore, it is a meeting held by Allen Danju, the most talked-about person on the continent, and if you can take a picture of your eyes, you should definitely go.
Literally, Danju, who was in Vermandois, went all the way to the auditorium building in the Great Market. One accompanying person is allowed for sobriety without force.
The auditorium, where hundreds of people gathered, was crowded with sobriety and their companions. Fucking mercenaries gathered in one space, it’s only natural that swear words and fist fights happen frequently.
Of course, Allen, the money demon, had no intention of stopping such trivial fist fights. However, killing during gatherings is strictly prohibited. Whether or not they make a life-and-death decision after it’s over is up to them to figure it out.
At the regular meeting, all the top 10 sophomores of Vermandois gathered, and the sophomores who wanted to say hello gathered around them.
Shortly after the meeting was held, the planned appointment ceremony for the elders took place.
Sophomores with more than 10 years of experience in this fucking mercenary floor went up on the podium and put the World Check Elder Badge on their chests. Even their names are written on the badge, so of course it is not transferable. It’s just something for them.
At the same time, some benefits were given to the elders. All of this, of course, was Allen’s intention. By doing so, those who have been appointed elders will have an attachment to this exchange meeting.
– Come on, today is the day for mercenaries! Let’s all eat and drink!
Of course, it would cost hundreds of people to eat and drink, but Allen was willing to spend it. After all, the money they spend in Vermandois goes back into Allen’s pocket.
Rather, the more mercenaries gathered in Vermandois, the more beneficial it was to Allen in the long run. And the money ghost is a person who is willing to invest for the future.
“On the continent, you are the only one who can do this.”
Unghost Granzo Danju clicked his tongue as he saw Allen planning and implementing this enormous scale casually.
“It’s all my money, isn’t it? When it comes to business, you have to be bold.”
At the same time, Allen glanced over the sophomores gathered at the exchange meeting, looking to see if there was someone he could use as an alliance.
“… And they will be our strength later.”
Allen planned to distribute the responsibility of the top 10 evenly among hundreds of people, not just ten.
That is his final goal.
“Now, let’s not think complicated today, let’s have fun! Do you know Is there a new maid here?”
At the word “New maid”, Granzo Danju didn’t show any dislike.
Like that, the 1st regular meeting continued all night in a cheerful atmosphere.
… And the next day, Allen looked at the bill and was horrified.
Such crazy-!
I must have underestimated the mercenaries’ liking for free.
