Chapter 341 – 341. Newbie Adventurer (1)
“Kyaaak!”
The screams of the female adventurer who had been pushed against the wall by the rough-and-tumble man’s hand echoed through the alleyway.
The man seized the woman by the collar and forcibly lifted her as she slumped on the floor after hitting her back against the wall.
“Big… Her!”
Caught by the collar, the female adventurer forcibly struggled to escape from his grip as her breath tightened.
But the man’s hand did not budge.
As her airways became blocked and she could not breathe, even the female adventurer’s strong resistance gradually weakened.
“Hey, don’t do this!”
A man and a woman who were co-workers of the female adventurer who was picked up by the collar tried to approach him to stop him.
“Oops! Be still!”
Even that was not possible due to the other men surrounding the women.
“Joy.”
The man who was holding the female adventurer by the collar snorted.
As she threw her body at her fellow women, the female adventurer’s body, flying in the air at a terrifying speed, collided with her companions.
“Kyaaak!”
The female adventurer and her companions who fell to the ground screaming under the weight of her companion who flew through the air glared at the men around them with fear and resentment.
“Look at these?”
“What are you going to do when you look at me like that?”
3 adventurers.
The number on their side surrounding them is 11.
Besides, they are newcomers, newbies who became adventurers earlier this year.
The men, united with the confidence that they could not be pushed amidst an unbridgeable, absolute gap, looked down at the adventurers and giggled.
“… Give it back.”
The male newbie, whose clenched fists trembled as he gnashed his teeth, glared at the men and said,
The men who heard the newbie’s words just shrugged her shoulders and didn’t stop laughing.
“Oh, well, that’s because it doesn’t work.”
“You guys tricked us!”
“Cheated, who cheated whom. It’s ridiculous.”
Damn!
One of the men who had been laughing at the male newbie’s words raised his voice and slapped him on the cheek without hesitation.
The face of the male newbie who was slapped with a loud sound turned wide to the side.
“Keugh!”
The male newbie let out a moan as she frowned at the tingling shock transmitted from her cheek.
“Hey. Talk about what we lied about. Once.”
“Didn’t you sell us a weapon of the same rank at a high price, claiming it was a weapon used by adventurers of the silver rank?”
Basically, the equipment used by adventurers has a grade like a grade that determines the level of adventurers.
Most of the weapons of the highest platinum rank are platinum and gold rank adventurers who specialize in exploring ancient ruins.
In many cases, equipment made by first-class blacksmiths known as masters of the best materials and materials has astronomical value as a gold grade.
Of course, there are also mass-produced weapons suitable for use by silver ranks, equal ranks, or newbies.
“Even these weapons are all flawed! If this isn’t cheating, what the hell is it!?”
The men tricked the three newbies into selling high-performance weapons at a low price, and sold the cheap weapons at a high price, which is the cause of the scuffle.
Even the equipment that seemed to have no problem at all by making repairs urgently and making the appearance plausible were used goods with obvious defects that had reached the end of their lifespan due to rough handling.
The newbies, who had been tricked into a good look and demanded a refund along with a protest, were being dragged into a deserted alleyway and being assaulted one-sidedly, as in the current situation.
“Please return our purchase right away! This is a scam!”
“This fuckin’ meal, buy stuff and come back now, damn it.”
Men giggled and laughed at the male newbie who continued to demand a refund even after being slapped.
“Hey. Do you know that much about this weapon?”
“… I beg your pardon?”
The male newbie frowned at the fact that the attitude of men who still look down on them has not changed.
“Are you discerning enough to judge the value of these pieces of equipment?”
“What… Is it a sound?”
“How are you going to prove whether these equipments are cheap or defective? Is this a weapon crafted by a blacksmith often used by adventurers in the silver hierarchy? What on earth are you talking about bullshit like that?”
“That… Such nonsense! There’s no way that the equipment of the silver ranks will run out of durability this easily! Besides, the power… !”
“Ah, that’s because your level is so low that you can’t bring out all the performance of your weapon. How much do you know about the class of weapons? What silver rank? No, can it be a sibling? Newbies who just started as rookies have it.”
“… Big.”
The male newbie couldn’t hide his expression of resentment and gnashed his teeth.
Wrong.
Words don’t work.
The more you talk and try to converse, the more you are ridiculed and ridiculed for being fooled.
They had no intention of listening to their protests.
“… I will formally protest against the guild.”
“What?”
“I will report to the guild that you guys are cheating!”
Unable to overcome her resentment at the fact that her protests did not work, the male newbie helped her fallen colleague to her feet.
“Ha, I still don’t know the reality. Do you know who we are?”
“That…”
“It’s our ‘cheolhodan’. Currently, it is the best guild in the Armitas Branch of the Adventurer’s Guild.”
“…”
It was a known fact, of course.
In choosing equipment, the newbie himself, who did not have proper prior knowledge or discernment, was also the cause of purchasing these cheap weapons.
An adventurer’s guild with the highest reputation, consisting of high-level adventurers in Armitas.
Believing in its reputation and credibility, he purchased the products sold by the guild members belonging there.
As a result, the fact that I was scammed made me tremble even more.
“Do you think that even if you protest, the Adventurers Guild will take your side?”
“Nice…”
Could it be that even the adventurer’s guild is attached to them?
Then, who the hell is going to release the injustice they suffered?
In the mind of the male newbie, the lord who runs the estate came to mind.
If he asked for help from the Duke of Armitas, who was implementing the welfare policy for newbies, there seemed to be no possibility at all.
“Are you okay? Can you stand?”
“Okay… Okay…”
She looked at the condition of the female newbie who bumped into her with the sword of Cheolho and supported her, and the male newbie moved her steps to get out of this alley.
“Is this bitch kidding?”
“I’m just trying to get out.”
“Hey, with all that said, do you think we’ll let you go easily?”
“Nice… !”
As a male newbie, she couldn’t hide her resentment when she saw the big lan members who surrounded them and didn’t seem to have any intention of getting out of the way.
Battles between adventurers within the territory are prohibited by law, but they did not seem to abide by the rules at all.
‘What if… ?’
Even if you don’t use magic or weapons, there’s no problem at all in chasing newbies who have just become adventurers.
Even in a situation where the number exceeds 10, she is not confident that she will be able to resist the one-sided beating of Cheol-ho members.
Even if I raised my voice and asked someone for help in this deserted alleyway, I never thought that the sound would reach anyone.
“Should I break a limb in moderation?”
“Hey, what if I report it to the adventurer’s guild?”
“Ah, what does it matter? Any proof that we did it? And you can just scare them away so they never report them.”
If you report it, it is a problem that can be solved by imprinting the fear that you may do more serious things in retaliation later.
“What, is that so?”
When one guild member nods her head without much thought and walks forward little by little to intimidate the male newbie.
“Looks like they’re bad people, right?”
“Ok?”
A thin woman’s voice.
At the appearance of the voice, the Cheolho troupe members and even the three newbies stared at one side of the alley where the voice came from.
The Cheolhodan guild member, who discovered the identity of the voice, muttered with a frown.
“What. What are those?”
A man and a woman with dark blue hair appeared with a girl.
One was really a young girl under the age of ten, and the man and woman with the same hair color were also very young.
The guild members tilted their heads at the very strange combination.
“Hey. Could that woman… ?”
“Is this a girl you know?”
A woman with dark blue hair.
The reactions between those who recognized Erin and those who did not were sharply divided.
“It’s that girl! Disciple of Mercury!”
“Mercury?”
“Has this two-headed bird X ever heard of the most dangerous human being involved while working in this spirit!?”
The impression of the guild member who heard the curse was distorted by the reaction of her ignoring herself by blowing away the curse.
“What? Fool? Did you finish telling me to look around?”
“Oh, that’s not the point! An ancient man named Eunhyun! That nobleman’s disciple! That woman!”
“What? A disciple of that human?”
At the words of a fellow guild member who had been explaining with an agitated expression, the guild member who had been insulted and ignored by her turned her head to Erin with a surprised expression.
“… I heard she’s always been a solo girl?”
Perhaps because a man and a girl with similar hair color were accompanying him, he couldn’t immediately see through Erin’s identity.
Erin smiled at her as she looked at her and saw the reactions of the men at a distance.
“Hehe, Hyuni is getting more and more famous.”
Erin was very happy, as if her success was that Eunhyun’s value and majesty were known to many people, rather than her fame spreading widely.
“Such a fucking… Even if you were involved, would you be involved with that woman? Hey, let’s bounce.”
“What?”
“What bullshit?”
Guild members who did not know Erin’s skills frowned and asked the guild member who suggested running away.
For them, escaping is an option they have never considered.
They still have an advantage in numbers, even though they are silver-tier adventurers.
She didn’t think they would be outdone by just one.
“You guys didn’t see that woman fighting.”
On the other hand, the guild members who knew Erin’s skills did not let go of their bitter impression and persuaded her fellow guild members.
“I once went to the Mograf Territory to assist during the last Demonic Beast Flood. That’s when I saw that woman going wild on the wire.”
“What is he saying now. Is it the same now as back then?”
However, her fellow guild members did not accept his persuasion.
She never escaped from the idea that a silver-ranked adventurer could only be strong enough to run amok, and that she was a lucky woman who had achieved success by joining the united front with other adventurers.
Due to the nature of adventurers who strongly value only the experiences they saw with their own eyes and felt with their own skin, it was useless to talk about Erin’s skills to those who had never experienced it with her own eyes.
Eventually, he gave up on the persuasion of her colleagues.
“X-foot, yes. Do whatever you want! I bounce!”
“Creepy X meal. Get out, just!”
One guild member left like that, and the remaining Cheolho members stared at Erin, Elvin, and Eris standing behind her.
“Um…”
Erin, who faced herself with her fists clenched and her fighting posture, looked back at her and looked at Alvin’s face.
“Aren’t you going to help me?”
“If I step forward, who will protect Eris?”
“…”
Erin looked at Alvin with her blank eyes, lost for words.
Alvin’s judgment is correct.
But apart from that, the feelings that build up in Erin’s heart are very slight sadness.
“If anyone sees it, they will think that the real sister is not me, but Eris. Very!”
