Chapter 56 – 13. The Festival of Warlocks. (2)
As if Hegel’s situation was rather urgent, Allen led the negotiations for the request in an advantageous way, eventually agreeing to a large sum. Apparently, even the money-loving mercenaries didn’t seem to be warlocks, so most of them withdrew. When I heard the general story, they said that they had been collecting mercenaries for over 15 days, but with Allen included, there were only 10 teams.
As if they wanted to invest a few more days like that, the baron castle eventually put down a recruitment notice and called ten mercenary leaders to the meeting room. Before departing, it seemed like they would deliver this and that warning, and decide on a representative to lead the group.
Allen, who was invited, brought not only Kalis but also a blind saint to this meeting. After all, in an official event, Odd Noon would be much better because it is strong and has some name value. Isn’t the reason why you have come all the way to the far West to make a name for yourself?
When the two men and a woman arrived at the meeting table, the eyes of those who had already arrived and were seated flew sharply.
As expected, there was something like a subtle spirit fight between people. Their eyes were savagely open, and they seemed to be estimating who was the best here. Because mercenaries are like a sample of the weak and the weak.
After Allen sat down in his seat, he glanced at the men and women who were sitting there.
… And there was one woman who stood out among them. She was quite a beauty, even down to her face. … To the point where Allen’s cock signal was activated.
[Strength: 11] [Agility: 8] [Stamina: 17] [Intelligence: 12] [Magic power: 5]
[Brilliant] [Desire] [Self-love] [Resoluteness] [Efficiency] [Sensitiveness]
Although the stats weren’t great, there were a few useful traits, including the [Brightly Talented] Trait. It seems that this is a brain wave.
[Strength: 52] [Agility: 39] [Stamina: 55] [Intelligence: 10] [Magic power: 7]
[Brilliant] [Loyalty] [Greed] [Energetic] [Sensitive]
And right behind her, a big muscular guy with pretty decent stats. Of course, compared to the blind saintess, she was far behind.
Shortly thereafter, one more danju arrived, and the meeting began. In fact, it was more like a briefing rather than a meeting.
“This is what we found out. Due to time constraints, we will elect a representative right away. Who would you like?”
When the presenter asked, looking at the sweets, the beauty of the desert raised her hand as if she had waited.
“I am Rudra Nawishal. You must have heard of my name in the West.”
The blind saintess quietly whispered from behind.
“Do you know?”
Allen shrugged her shoulders lightly, saying he didn’t know. To be honest, she’s not interested in anything other than 10 or so. It’s important to have a mercenary that can be skipped, it’s not that it’s sober.
But she shook her head as if everyone except Alen acknowledged that they were familiar with Rudra’s reputation.
Just when I thought it would end like this, I saw someone raise their hand. Everyone’s eyes were focused on it. It was a pretty young man who was clearly not from the West.
“Allen Dwise Pomwell. I think I’ll be the best here….”
ㅡ!
Rudra felt uncomfortable, and her eyes narrowed a bit. The other sobers also noticed who Allen was, looking for someone who knew what she was doing. Of course, Allen said she was just smiling smirking whether others did or not.
The presenter hesitated slightly, not knowing that there would be someone trying to push Rudra away.
“Then, since you two are here, I will decide with a show of hands.”
Naturally, everyone except the two parties raised their hands to Rudra. It may be a bit embarrassing, but Allen gestured as if he had already expected everything.
“This is really, really sad. I can’t show my skills here. You have to surrender, what.”
When all the representatives were decided, the host announced that they would depart early tomorrow morning and broke the meeting.
Allen, along with the blind saint, was returning to the crew’s quarters when someone stopped him from behind.
“Allen Danju.”
“… Ah, Rudra Danju.”
On Earth, she, an Arab beauty, came close to Allen, and she glared at him intensely with her proud blue eyes, she said. Of course she’s wearing a yes costume but smiling.
“I’m sorry. What can I do though?”
“I can’t help it. Then, thank you, Rudra Danju.”
While the two sophomores were engaged in a slight war of nerves, the blind saintess and the tall man standing behind were also staring into each other’s faces.
Even if she is a saint, after all, she is also a martial artist. She was by no means without speculation towards the strong.
… I do it once. Lower than me
Even if she felt the energy of her opponent, she was able to figure out whether she was higher or lower than herself. On the contrary, her man was feeling an unknown anxiety towards the blind woman who did not know the bottom.
The two Danju looked at each other for a while, then shook hands lightly and parted ways.
The blind saintess quickly caught up with Allen, who turned around and went on his way again.
“…… Did you really need to go out?”
I knew it wouldn’t work, but she meant why did she dare to embarrass herself.
Then Allen grinned and said,
“Sister, originally, this floor is half skill and half bravado. If you can do five, you have to inflate it like you can do ten, and it eats up money and fame for seven.”
Oh- The blind saintess quickly understood something.
“If we just stayed still like the steamy ones, we literally become the real steamy ones. … Sister, think about it. You want to pay a lot of money to that guy? I am not.”
“Yes. Yes.”
“Of course, you shouldn’t be too pretentious and look back, right? So, you have to be aware of how to control it well.”
“Okay… !”
“Anyway, well, that’s why.”
Indeed, there was such a hidden meaning!
Certainly, the golden man was different, but something was different.
“To be honest, it would have been better if the sister had already taken the initiative. That’s a bit unfortunate.”
“… Oh, I hadn’t thought of that.”
“Nope. It’s the first time I’m going to learn step by step.”
“Thank you. I am learning so much!”
Allen smiled like the most generous person in the world and tapped the blind saint’s arm lightly.
As expected, it was good to follow this person… !
…… Of course, Pingcheng didn’t even know in her wildest dreams that her water owner was going to eat her down to the very marrow.
· · ·
Early morning.
After all preparations, Allen-Mercenaries left the building with their luggage wrapped around one by one.
Tens of people stepped on the dirt and sand to the south gate of the city.
At the south gate, four mercenaries were already waiting for them to come out first. A total of five, including Allen-Mercenaries.
“Get into carriage number 4.”
After checking out the list, the person in charge from the baron told Allen to get into carriage number 4. Allen got his men into the wagon and waited outside for the rest of the mercenaries to arrive.
Before long, the rest of the mercenaries also arrived near the south gate. When all the mercenaries gathered, Desert Beauty, Rudra Danju called all the Danju.
“We have to fight the Warlock. Obviously it won’t be easy. However, if you follow my instructions carefully, you will be able to complete the mission safely. Got it?”
“Yes, Rudra Danju.”
“Then let’s leave.”
Rudra Danju’s intense gaze reached Allen once more. But he turned a blind eye and went back to his carriage.
Soon the carriage started and passed through the south gate. And on the distant eastern horizon, a wriggling began to be seen.
Dawn was slowly coming in.
The blind saintess and daughter-in-law saw it and prayed for God’s blessing in their hearts.
“I only trust our wizards.”
Captain Aiden smiled and said that to the sucker. Still, having a wizard seems to be a great comfort to everyone. Furthermore, hasn’t her skill already been clearly proven by her work in the canyon and dungeon?
It must have been a considerable burden, but she seemed to be resolutely enduring it.
Allen opened his mouth as he glanced at the slightly nervous members.
“… Of course, the black magician won’t be easy. It’s not going to be an easy fight. But I know them well. So don’t worry too much. Have I ever said anything nonsense? Just trust me and follow me. You’ve been proving it all along.”
Everyone in her nodded lightly and listened to Danju. He pointed his finger out of the wagon.
“Money and fame await us. When this job is done, our name will be known throughout the West. It’s about being famous.”
Bald, dark-eyed Billy giggled bitterly, as if imagining it was good.
“This is an opportunity to make a big leap forward. Opportunities like this don’t come close. Black magician? All of them will die anyway if their heads are cut off.”
“That’s right-!”
“Come on, let’s try our best.”
In the midst of hot encouragement, the sun rose.
The atmosphere that had risen subsided calmly again.
However, the carriage continued to run without stopping.
To the black magician’s festival ground—-.
