Harang’s Crash Landing (3)
The formula drawn in Harang’s mind was as follows.
If you are a mercenary who captures slaves, you will have some understanding of the city’s backstory and black market transactions, and if so, you will be familiar with the area.
It wasn’t his intention, but after running for several days and nights, Harang collapsed on a busy road and was very fortunate(?) to be captured by mercenaries who treated slaves.
I was really lucky.
“Captain, that slave woke up?”
“You look prettier now that you open your eyes.”
“It’s a bit unfortunate that I’m a man… .”
“Don’t you know that pretty boy slaves are sold at a higher price? “We made a huge windfall.”
The northern language was slightly different from that of the central continent. It felt like there was a bit of dialect mixed in, but it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t understand it.
‘Good thing I put the lenses in.’
Harang no longer had any intention of exposing his silver eyes carelessly when working outside.
Although Harang’s face was exposed in newsletters read by nobles, his photo was not published in newspapers read by commoners, so it would be very rare for anyone to recognize him.
“When I return to Glaisagar, I will run to ‘Red Rock Fortress’ first. “That’s how I know it.”
“Isn’t there a war going on with the Archduke there?”
“Is there anything special about being an archduke? They say he doesn’t even appear on the battlefield these days. “Is there a screw missing somewhere, or is the rumor that I’m really sick true?”
Harang’s prediction was close to the correct answer.
As natives of this region, the mercenaries were familiar with almost all of the geography and circumstances.
Through their conversation, Harang realized that this was northern land.
Harang also had some understanding of this place.
The northern part of the central continent, the cold, foreign land separated by the Fortress of Silence guarded by Caladern and the ‘Land of Despair’ polluted by demonic energy, the ‘British Land’.
I understand that in this place where snowstorms blow all year round, communication is almost cut off because the Land of Despair, inhabited by demons, is blocking the passage to the central continent.
therefore.
‘It must mean that there is no way to return home.’
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.
Occasionally, exotic-looking people from the northern lands would appear in the central continent.
There is no doubt that we will be able to go back to the Central Continent using some method.
‘The strongest one is about 4 stars… … The rest are 3 stars.’
By comparing the magic power and movements of the mercenaries through the Morning Star Eye, Harang was able to determine their level without difficulty.
The level was too high for a mere street mercenary.
Considering that the 8-star mercenary group ‘Gusalyon’ that he faced before was practically treated as a god in the mercenary industry, he would be a veteran who would receive tremendous treatment even if he only reached the level of 4-star.
‘They say the frigid land is a battlefield, so are there a lot of mercenaries like this? That said, the equipment is really good… … He’s a mercenary, and judging by the fact that he’s pulling a carriage, it looks like he’s wealthy.’
He looked completely different from the mercenary that Harang had imagined.
I thought he was living the life of a mayfly, earning every day and exchanging all his wealth for alcohol and women, but he seems to have accumulated a certain amount of wealth.
His thoughts were not wrong. In reality, low-level mayfly mercenaries below 2 stars lived that kind of life.
However, there was no way a 4-star mercenary with a level of skill that could bring out strong skills would live such a miserable life.
‘I’m not sure… … It won’t be difficult to suppress them all at once.’
But he didn’t do that and held his breath. As he crouched silently in the corner of his carriage with his arms tied behind his back, the mercenaries, thinking he was scared, did not touch him.
If you hit it and get a bruise, the value of the product will be damaged or something.
I was treated well during the move. They gave me food and water.
After driving for two days, the Blackrum mercenaries’ carriage arrived at a castle.
Gaorn Castle. This was one of the largest castles in the northern part of the country, but it was very disappointing for Harang.
Compared to cities in the central continent, this place seemed too rural.
Looking at the overall structure being erected at an uneven height, it seemed as if it had not been designed with great care, and the gap between the rich and the poor was so severe that a shantytown was visible from the entrance to the city.
Above all, it was a question that had arisen since the mercenary group used horse-drawn carriages in the old style, but the environment was almost similar to that of the Middle Ages, whether it was a magical wasteland or not.
A land of barbaric warriors, with almost no trace of magic.
‘I heard that magic was developed to a certain extent in the old days when people interacted with the Central Continent… … As communication was cut off, did magic naturally disappear?’
That was a bit strange. Even though communication has been cut off, there are likely to be enough wizards in the north as well.
Harang parted his lips as he was dragged away by the mercenaries.
“Are there no wizards here?”
“… … huh?”
Then the nine mercenaries looked at Harang at the same time. There was silence for a moment, and then someone said something nonsense.
“Your voice is very beautiful.”
“If I sing a song, will the price go up? Should I ask the merchant?”
“Hmm, that makes sense.”
“kid. Have you ever sang a song? ‘Blood Fighter Praise Song’ or something like that.”
“You stupid bastard. “If you make me sing a song like that, I’ll give you a good price!”
“Isn’t it nice and manly?”
“… … .”
Harang was dumbfounded for a moment, but held back. There was one reason why he didn’t swing his fist easily.
“Hey, Glaisa is the branch.”
It was because of the existence of that unidentified mercenary guild.
If they assaulted the mercenary group, there was a possibility that other mercenaries would rush in because Glaisa would accuse them of arresting Harang as soon as they arrived at the branch.
At the very least, it was right to deal with it after arriving at Glaisagar and finding out what kind of place it was.
There may be a way to kill and kill an insect, but then the guide you worked so hard to find will disappear.
‘You must continue to use it until you contact the guild called Glaisagar.’
Of course, there may be an easier way.
He would be treated well by revealing Kaladan’s identity right away.
However, it was only convenient and not a very good decision. There had already been a history of attacks due to Caladan’s status, and because Caladern had a history of committing cruel atrocities in the North.
Now that communication with the Central Continent has been cut off, I don’t know what I might face if I reveal that I am Kaladan.
Let’s not let momentary anger ruin things.
This was Harang’s motto.
“Anyway, it’s magic. It’s been a while since I heard this. “It’s no different from the privilege of the highest-class nobles.”
Is magic a privilege of the highest class?
Harang had a strange thought.
“That kid, his outfit is unique, his appearance is exotic, and I don’t know anything about him… … “Aren’t you from the Central Continent?”
“Sounds that don’t even sound like words. Hundreds of people die every year while trying to cross from the north to the center. “How can a kid like that get through?”
“!”
The fact that there are people who die trying to cross to the Central Continent means that they are trying anyway because there is a way.
“How do I get to the Central Continent?”
Harang asked quickly, but Bullock smiled and answered.
“You can’t get over it. I have to live here for the rest of my life. “Nobles who enjoy sodomy have beautiful appearance and eat good food, so they must live a much better life than us.”
“It would be better to live as a princess in the arms of a sodomite than to die for no reason!”
“… … .”
Harang was dumbfounded and thought about hitting him, but it felt like it would be a waste to endure it so much, so he persevered.
“Wait, stop.”
The Glaisaga branch was a fairly large dome-shaped building, and there was a guard guarding the main entrance. This meant that it was not just an ordinary mercenary guild.
“From here on, only certified mercenaries can enter. “Give me your ID.”
Bullock took out a mercenary card.
His mercenary badge had a red line drawn on it.
“This… … “He’s the one who was expelled from Glaisaga, right?”
“for a moment. Still, that’s why I came. “I plan to offer this slave to my superiors.”
While saying this, Bulak points to Harang. The guard looked at Harang blankly with surprised eyes, thought about it, and then nodded.
“If that’s the case… … “I guess that’s enough.”
The mercenary members who passed so easily entered the Glaisa branch.
Inside, the lobby on the first floor was crowded with mercenaries. Harang developed his hearing and could listen to all the sounds around him.
-The nobles are looking for battle slaves to use in this arena, right?
-All useful items have been sold.
-So I heard you are looking for a substitute mercenary, and who is going there?
– Are you willing to risk your life for a small amount of money? It would be better to participate under my own name and win. If you win, you can meet the Archduke face to face, right?
-I’ve been sick lately, so I’ve been out of sorts, but I always make sure to attend official events like this. A subject that has no power due to being overtaken by Glaesaga.
-Perhaps if the condition worsens, Glaisagar may devour the entire frigid land.
-It’s a good thing for us… … Huh!
Harang, who had been catching up on the stories that were being told over and over again, stopped when the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Step by step! Someone was walking from the end of the lobby. Harang felt that his spirit was on a different level from other mercenaries.
‘At least 6 stars or higher. At least in this lobby, he is the most powerful person.’
The middle-aged mercenary with a neatly grown beard had a long scar on his face, which gave him a ferocious look.
He strode past the lobby, but when he saw Bullock’s face, he came towards us.
“Bullock. “I’m sure you told me to get out of here, but are you trying to set foot on the land of warriors again?”
“… … “Eagle Commander!”
All mercenary members quickly lowered their heads. Harang secretly hid behind Bullak, but the Eagle unit commander glanced at him and nodded.
“What is that?”
“Hmm, this is the slave I found with great difficulty. “Come forward!”
Bullock pushed his back.
Harang didn’t even flinch.
“?”
‘Oops.’
Harang hurriedly pretended to be pushed away and came forward.
Then, in an instant, the attention of all the mercenaries in the lobby was focused.
“Huh!”
“Well, what is it?”
“Bullock, you were kicked out, so where did you get that treasure…” … .”
“I can’t believe it. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone like that in this dirty land, except for the Grand Duchess.”
It wasn’t just the mercenaries who were surprised. The Eagle unit commander also looked surprised and was stroking his beard.
“Slave… ? Huh, ho. hmm… … This… … That’s amazing. It’s hard to find something like this in this northern land. And you’re so young… … “Where on earth did you get it?”
“Well, while wandering the mountain, I found him collapsed.”
“What is your identity?”
Bullock blinked.
Because I didn’t really ask.
“Stupid bastard. “But what if I become the son of a noble family?”
“Well, even when handcuffed, it doesn’t resist and follows along obediently…” … .”
“but. I guess so. “If he were a nobleman, he would have screamed and revealed his identity, asking if he knew who he was.”
“… … .”
I hadn’t even thought about it that far.
Wouldn’t it have been better to pretend to be a noble and rule over mercenaries?
‘No. It’s a lie that will be discovered soon anyway.’
If he had pretended to be a nobleman, he would have pretended to treat him with utmost respect and checked his identity as soon as he entered the city.
“This is a great product. It’s so covetable. The slave trader arrives here tomorrow. Until then, you guys should stay at the Relsai Hotel.”
“Oh oh… … !”
“You’re giving me the top hotel where only nobles stay!”
The expressions of the mercenary members brightened.
“It is to praise your achievements. Make sure you take good care of the product. I will report directly to the superiors. “The executives will come by tomorrow to personally check the condition of the product, so please do not touch or damage it in the meantime.”
“Sure!”
Fortunately, Harang was handed over to the Black Rum mercenaries without incident, and they were able to buy an extra day of time.
‘If you call it a hotel, it’s just a low-level motel.’
While going up to the dorm, Harang thought about many things.
‘I told you that being a wizard is a privilege of the highest class. Shall we reveal the magic?’
I thought I might be treated better if I did that, but I’m not sure yet. Because I could have been reduced to a slave who uses magic.
‘Magic is revealed when it is certain. ‘I have to find out a lot while limiting my information as much as possible.’
How can I get over to the Central Continent?
“Now, rest here.”
The mercenary members who arrived at the lodgings roughly knocked Harang to the corner.
“I guess I’ll have to call the slaver’s servant. “I’m going to have to wash him.”
“Did you see the commander’s reaction earlier? “The executives are coming to visit us in person!”
“This is definitely a windfall. “It will cost you a fortune!”
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow!”
“… … .”
Looking at the noisy mercenaries, Harang cut off the handcuffs like they were paper.
Then, I opened the subspace and dropped a bead-shaped artifact, which rolled around and landed on the door, emitting a faint light.
[Silence Field]
An artifact that completely blocks external and internal noise. After finishing preparations, Harang slowly got up from his seat.
“huh? Little boy, go to the corner and lie quietly… … “Wow!”
Harang moved so quickly that his body became a blur, grabbed Bullock by the collar, and slammed him to the floor.
Kwaung-!!
Just one blow.
Harang picked up Bullock, who had been knocked unconscious by the blow, and shook him lightly like a piece of trash.
It was to be seen by mercenary members.
The members were unable to move, as fear was clearly imprinted on them. Harang pinned her bullock to the ground and decorated it with art, then pulled out her Cheongwolak and aimed it.
Ugh! The mercenary members hurriedly knelt down while looking at the vivid river flag overlaid on top of them.
Being able to pull off a powerful technique that even the leader could not easily use was proof that he was not of average skill!
“thank you. “For introducing the vice-captain.”
“Uh, over there… … .”
“Now that you’re out of use, I guess I’ll have to answer some of my questions. “What to do here from now on, a policy has been decided.”
Starting tomorrow, Vice-Captain Eagle will take over as the ‘Road Guide Station’, so it is time for the Black Rum mercenaries to leave.
“So, who wants to answer my question? “What should I do to get to the Central Continent?”
“Please save me!!”
“… … “That’s not the answer you want.”
Harang sighed as the mercenaries put their heads on the floor.
Usually, when the opponent lost his will to fight and gave in, he ended the battle. Since I always strive to pursue justice, I wanted to avoid unnecessary killing as much as possible.
However, no matter how much he was like that, he didn’t want to treat the mercenaries who treated him like a plaything kindly.
“Until you find the right answer, you have no choice but to press the search button… … .”
I lightly clicked the head of one of the mercenaries with my fist.
“Kwaaaa!! “If you perform a feat and make a wish to His Majesty the Grand Duke and the Grand Duke, he will lend you a boat!!”
The effectiveness of the search engine was great.
