Chapter 65 – 14. Crisis and Cooperation. (5)
The group of mercenaries who had arrived in Serge yesterday got back on the boat that had been parked on the river in the early evening. Since there was no need to carry the villagers anymore, two large boats were enough for everyone to ride.
The Allen-Mercenary Corps, favored by Rudra Danju, was on the same boat as her. Among the mercenaries, all sorts of groundless rumors were circulating, such as that an innocent aristocratic lady fell for that pretty face, or that the two of them were already like that.
Of course, the two men and women, who had not worked as mercenaries for a day or two, were not mentally strong enough to respond to such chatter. It’s normal for damn mercenaries to say ten times or a hundred times over even trivial things like this, but at this level, they belong to the medicine department.
Fortunately, the voyage went smoothly. The four days of peace on board had allayed much of the worry that the necromancer would suddenly appear again and throw the ghoul.
On the evening of the fourth day, the two ships arrived at Behimruod, a large city. The hometown and home of Rudra Danju.
As two unheard-of ships suddenly washed away, guards with spears and knives gathered around the riverside, as if there was an emergency in the city. It showed a clear difference from the previous middle cities, which had no response. A big city is also a big city.
When the ship docked and Rudra Danju went ashore, the captain of the guard realized that the situation was not dangerous and let the guards down.
“My lady, why did you come by boat?”
“I have some circumstances. I’m going straight to my father. Pass all checks. I will vouch for it.”
“All right.”
Thanks to Rudra Danju, the crowd passed through the gate without even looking at a pocket.
In the big city, the lights did not go out even in the evening. The main street was bright, and the crowds were bustling. The city of entertainment is still booming with necromancers.
“Cyber, all the pretty girls go around here….”
Like the bald, black-eyed horses, the western beauties with pale copper skin and sharp features were dressed to the point of being almost naked. There are many men who walk around with their tops off. It was not his appearance, but his appearance that made it clear whether he was from the West or not.
Allen pretended to be calm on the outside, but on the inside he couldn’t hide his surprise. Because it’s a really voluptuous beauty. He seemed sure to know why the West was called the land of entertainment.
After passing through the boulevards overflowing with handsome men and women, they arrived at Marquis Castle, and this time they passed right through without any checkpoints. Maybe that’s why people can’t forget the taste of power.
Rudra Danju sent the group to the inn building and went alone to meet the Marquis. It’s not polite to see my father, who is already in bed, with strangers.
After going to the restaurant in the building and filling his stomach, Allen fell asleep as soon as he entered the room. Having lived on a boat for four days, her body is already exhausted.
…… And the next day, as soon as Allen finished breakfast, he received a call from Rudra Danju and headed to the drawing room.
“Oh, welcome, Allen Danju.”
Rudra Danju, who was enjoying tea time in the drawing room, took off her scruffy appearance and greeted Allen in the attire of an elegant aristocratic lady.
“Were you comfortable all night?”
“Yes, I had a very comfortable night.”
“That’s fortunate. I was a little worried that the bed was uncomfortable. …… Come and sit down.”
Rudra pointed to the seat opposite her with her hand and invited her to sit down. As soon as he sat down, she took another sip of the tea and went straight to the point.
“I explained the circumstances to my father last night. It seems that this place has also started to be attacked by the necromancer.”
“Is that so.”
“I just can’t see it being safe here. Of course, you can’t compare this place with Hegel, but you can still get hurt if you’re not careful. Isn’t it?”
“That is a hundred times correct.”
“I urged vigilance and surveillance. And if possible, he asked me to hire as many mercenaries as possible. …… How about it, is this enough? What do you think of Allen Danzu?”
She was proud that this was an almost perfect job, but strangely, his expression was calm. No, it felt like there was something a little lukewarm about it.
“Why? … Did I miss anything?”
Allen smiled a little awkwardly and patted her hand lightly.
“No, well, it’s not like that….”
“There is something. Tell me come on …… Between us, well, there is no hiding.”
Of course, Allen was never stupid enough to ask what our relationship was like.
“Could it be that her employment contract is Rudra Danju?”
“… No, I won’t, why?”
He put on a very sad expression.
“Since Danju has eyes to see, wouldn’t it be better to see and judge for yourself before signing the contract? The situation is a situation, so it’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of It’s okay. … If you put up the prestige of Danju Rudra, great mercenaries will gather like bees. Undoubtedly. Especially, how amazing was the performance you showed this time.”
How can Rudra, who is overflowing with [Desire] And even [Self-love], Stay still after hearing that? He somehow tried not to show it with his culture, but it couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth twitching, his nostrils straining, and his eyes gently curling. He looked like he was going to die.
“Oh, well, to that extent…. Anyway, thank you for thinking so…. Well, actually, I wasn’t that bad. Few people in the West don’t know my name. There are also rumors that my name is quite famous in the central region.”
Her chin rose and her chest puffed out.
“… Yes. I see. You have a point. I will tell my father, and I will take care of this.”
Ah. Allen was genuinely delighted and she even clapped her lightly.
“Yeongsi. Rudra Danju speaks very well. If you pretend, you pretend.”
Now that she’s seated at her negotiating table, she’s halfway to her goal.
(Okay, I’m going to die. I’m happy. I hope the other person compliments me more. I’m excited. I’m in heat. …)
“And you look particularly beautiful today. It was so dazzling that I almost went blind in an instant.”
“Oh, I hate that. Burdensome.”
(I don’t know what to do because I like it. I hope the other person will praise me more and more. I feel pleasure. …)
…… Hey, is that a compliment?
· · ·
That afternoon.
Allen sat down with Rudra at the negotiating table. Before hiring other mercenaries, it seems that she is trying to negotiate first with the mercenaries she has been with since Hegel.
She was originally supposed to receive from Hegel, but her employment fee was 550 gold coins. However, he slightly circumvented it, saying that he had decided to receive 600 by adding 50 to it. Rounding to the tens place is the norm!
“Then how about 700?”
Big hum.
When Allen let out a slightly uncomfortable salivation, Praise Herbal, Rudra immediately added 50 more.
“… OK, so 750. Isn’t that a lot of money?”
If she had lived a wandering life and lived a scrappy life, she would not have raised the money so drastically, but since she was a mercenary under the writer Hu, she seemed almost ignorant of the concept of her employment cost. He didn’t know that a bloody war of nerves would break out between employers and employees over just a few gold coins.
Allen, who grasped her opponent’s concept of money, started the engine to rob her in earnest.
“Sure, it’s fine, but… , In fact, I suffered so much loss in Hegel that I could go bankrupt if I made a mistake….”
“Bankruptcy?!”
“Anyway, it’s because I don’t have a strong investment like Rudra Danju. He is such a pitiful being who earns a living day by day.”
What should I do.
“Okay…. I see. Then let’s do 800.”
As expected, they are coming out of the family of a wealthy family. … Better then!
“I am also very distressed by this reality of being entangled in money. I don’t want to worry about money. I really sincerely want to help Rudra Danju without any material desires. However, I couldn’t ignore the reality……. I wonder if I’m ruining Danju Rudra’s high prestige….”
“I’m not going to eat it. That heart is fully conveyed to me.”
“Then, can I rely on the mercy of Danju Rudra a little longer?”
“… Sure. 900 pieces. If it’s 900, you won’t have to worry for a while, right?”
It was like a gold coin came out every time I put it into the compliment hole.
Allen hit the last shot there. He muttered sadly with a sorrowful expression on his face.
“… No. I can’t possibly do it. It doesn’t seem like you’re doing this with Rudra Danju and money. Sorry. I guess I’d better just leave. It just looks so ugly….”
“What are you talking about! How can reality be like that? I understand. Because I, Allen Danju, understand everything… ! Don’t think like that. Because I know What a great person Danju is… ! So much money… !”
Rudra Danju declared, tapping the table lightly with his fist. That was the maximum limit that could really be squeezed.
“Like. 1000 pieces. Then we can make up for the loss in Hegel, right?”
Allen was in a good mood to jump up and down, but he persevered. You can’t blow your nose into the cooked rice.
“…… If you understand me like this, how can I fathom the broad generosity of Danju Rudra?”
“It’s enough if Allen Danju gives me strength. Let’s get through this crisis together.”
“All right. I will do my best, and I will pay for it.”
“Okay… !”
As if moved to tears, Allen dabbed his eyes with his sleeve and stood up.
“Then I’ll just go.”
“Yes. …… And, later, when we have free time, that, let’s have a meal together.”
“All right. Call me anytime.”
After he walked out of the room and walked for a while, he said, “Okay,” And punched the air.
Praise hole, attack success.
