Episode 150 In Kshantria (4)
Am embarrassed.
I don’t understand this.
When did you expect to see me?
But their eyes are sincere.
A look that seems like reverence.
I was curious about the reason.
“The reason… Can you tell?”
“Of course. Actually we… … .”
That’s how the story started.
“I lost my parents to a crazed monster attack on the moon Kapros many years ago. “At that time, the three of us who were friends from the same village were saved by the silver-haired messenger.”
“Master… “What?”
A story about a teacher I have never seen before.
It turns out that the silver-haired Shinigami was a virtuous person.
It was the moment when his good deeds became my shadow.
“He took great pity on us.”
The sincere gratitude in their voices.
“The silver-haired Shinigami has taken care of us for 10 years. He taught Ashu Nain swordplay, me magic, and Elyu Shine spiritmanship, according to each of their talents.”
“To all three of you?”
“yes!”
The amazing abilities of the silver-haired Shinigami.
It’s not possible.
I could tell by feeling that it was not human.
Unless you’re an elf… Great being!
“One day, when we achieved something, he suddenly disappeared without leaving a word. I wandered the mercenary world for decades to find him. … But we couldn’t find it, so we waited in silence, desperately waiting for them to call us. … And today His disciple appeared and gave us the opportunity to repay his favor. “It can’t be anything other than the grace of Odin!”
The wizard spoke in turmoil.
“I would like to formally greet you. “Greetings to Ashnain, Little Master, vice-captain of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps, the best mercenary group on the continent.”
Ashnain, with tears in his eyes, placed his sword on the ground and bowed to his master.
“Greetings to the little master, Ururain, vice-captain of the Silver Wolf mercenary group, the best mercenary group on the continent.”
The wizard Ururan also stuck his staff into the ground and knelt down on one knee and bowed his head.
“Elyushain, vice-captain of the Silver Wolf mercenary group, the continent’s best mercenary group… … “Greetings to the little master.”
Finally, the spirit priest knelt down on one knee in front of me with a trembling voice.
“… … .”
This situation is perplexing.
A disciple of the silver-haired Shinigami who washed my identity to hide me for a while.
They were mistaken, convinced that I was a disciple of the Shinigami.
“How can you be sure that I am the Shinigami’s disciple? “It’s my first time seeing you.”
I put aside my embarrassment and asked calmly.
Three people who are the actual owners of the mercenary guild.
“The Shinigami said this out of habit. “Your disciple’s natural hair turns silver.”
“Silver hair is not common, but… Not at all. but… … .”
“From swordsmanship to magic and spirits. How many people can handle it all? “I checked the swordsmanship a while ago, and I also know about magic through rumors.”
“Lezel’s body has a strong spirit smell. At this level, he must be a mid-level spirit master!”
Wizard Elyushain became even more confident as he helped Ururain.
He presented exhaustive evidence.
The moment I heard their words, I was speechless and speechless.
Suddenly, the lie became the truth.
As a result, it was a huge hit.
One of the continent’s best mercenary groups was swallowed up day by day.
“Conclusively, didn’t you say that Mr. Rezel himself is a disciple of the silver-haired Shinigami? “What more proof do you need!”
“… … .”
“Now that this has been confirmed, please move on. “I have ordered the key executives of the mercenary group to gather.”
Ashnain stood up and asked to move.
“… … “What about the mercenary test?”
“I passed! “We will unanimously recognize you as a special mercenary!”
“Little master, please go. “The members are waiting.”
“… … .”
It was embarrassing, but I became a special mercenary.
Suddenly, I headed to the place where key executives were waiting.
When I came out of the office, Amshon was waiting and was happy to see me.
However, when he saw the Ashnain group following him, he urgently lowered his head.
“Amshon, vice-captain of the mercenary group in the sky, is coming to see the mercenary guild’s executors.”
Amshon is treated with the utmost courtesy.
Three people, including Ashnain, led me to the lead and guided me to the third floor of the mercenary guild.
I opened the door to one of the several rooms and went inside.
The three of them stood in a triangle shape.
and.
“Teleport!”
Pot!!!
“This is the leader’s office.”
As soon as they arrived, they changed their title to leader as if they had made an appointment.
“!!!”
I have also lived in the imperial palace.
It is a luxurious space that even I can admire.
The office space is approximately 50 pyeong in size.
Chairs and sofas made of dark brown wood with a clear scent and rare monster leather.
The walls were lined with paintings and decorations that looked rare and elaborate.
Among the decorations on display were quite valuable swords and anti-magic armor proudly displayed.
“The things here are treasures collected by mercenaries while traveling around the Gaisha Continent. “It is our loyalty to you, leader.”
Ashnain said proudly.
The rest of the characters also nodded.
The best products by the standards of the human world.
It was comparable to the royal treasure trove.
“Wait a moment. “The executives will come up soon.”
smart.
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
“Vice-captain, everyone who can attend has now gathered.”
“Let them come in.”
Squeak.
Those who entered as soon as permission was given.
The number is about 20 people.
Wizards, knight-level mercenaries, and spirit warriors.
“Everyone be polite to the leader!”
“Glory to the leader!”
“Glory!”
The people in line all got down on one knee.
Not a mercenary.
These are people who have become accustomed to knightly manners.
A happy smile spread across my lips.
I couldn’t help but feel grateful to the faceless silver-haired reaper who allowed me to win the jackpot.
“Commander, these are key resources that we have cultivated with great care. From now on, please treat them like your limbs!”
“I will be loyal to the leader with my life!”
They are shouting with one voice as soon as Ashnain has finished speaking.
It is a position where loyalty is firmly established.
I glanced at them.
We need to find Fiona.
And to get revenge, I alone wasn’t enough.
This is why we must accept them.
I was willing to open my mind to accept it.
When the silver-haired reaper appears, return it.
I have no intention of getting drunk shamelessly and risking death.
“I will trust your loyalty.”
“thank you. “Captain!”
When approval is given, a turbulent light shines on everyone’s faces.
Good luck with the phone.
After the bloody battle at the imperial palace, he continues to gain momentum.
“I guess all the executives are of similar age?”
“Not only the executives above Baekinjang but also many of the mercenaries in the mercenary group are orphans.”
“ah!”
“To repay the favor I received from the Silver-Haired Reaper, the orphans were taken in by the mercenary group. “More than half are orphans from the war that occurred 20 years ago due to the merger of the Vonshtar Empire and the Principality of Nainim.”
Duchy of Nainim.
It reminds me of Gerius.
Older brother Gerius was also a nobleman of the royal family of the Duchy of Nainim.
“For that reason, our mercenary group has become an ideal mercenary group that is united in everything and carries out orders from superiors as if it were their parents’ wishes. “It can be said that the Silver Wolf mercenary corps is superior to most regular knights in the kingdom in terms of military discipline and training.”
An Ururan who speaks triumphantly, as if bragging about his child.
The situation makes sense.
A military rule that can be clearly seen just by looking at one action.
There is more moderation than the knights of my territory.
Moreover, they are all orphans.
Since they were taught with the heart of their parents, their unity and cooperation will be no joke.
A group of mercenaries who are brothers and colleagues.
It deserved to be called the best.
“What is the total number of mercenaries?”
“The swordsman unit, the wizard unit, and the elementalist unit. It is divided into three parts, and the proportions are about 300 swordsmen of Spirit Expert Beginner level or higher, about 50 full-time wizards of 3rd circle or higher, and about 20 spiritists.”
“!!!”
At this scale, it is a force equal to or greater than that of an imperial marquis.
“However, if a situation arises where large-scale mercenaries are needed, we also have an organizational system that can move more than 100,000 people.”
“100,000?”
It’s unexpected.
The power just mentioned is enough to engage in a local war with the kingdom.
Ashnain is an early intermediate Spirit Master.
Uruline is about a 7th circle master or 8th circle user.
Also, Elyushaine has a strong scent of a mid-level wind spirit.
The strength of these three alone is a great force.
There are countless mercenaries whom I have taught as children and students.
Just by hearing it, the power is enormous.
“I salute your hard work.”
“affection… Do you like the words? thank you!”
“thank you… … .”
These people have tears in their eyes at the few words of comfort and congratulations.
I am deeply moved by their sincerity.
Although they are silver-haired Shinigami fake disciples, their sincere wait and hard work fills my heart.
It’s natural to feel anxious.
The men’s consistent hearts.
The passionate loyalty of real men waiting for their benefactor.
I desperately miss Sir Perorin and the five knights who followed me like their lives.
“I am just grateful for your hard work.”
I quickly glanced at the audience.
“I have something to say.”
“Please speak. “Captain.”
“You probably know that the continent is in an unusual situation.”
“You could say it’s like the calm before the storm. “Mercenaries are being used to move military supplies and major magic items.”
“Has it been a long time?”
“It is such a large amount that it would not be surprising if a large-scale war broke out rather than a local war between kingdoms or empires.”
Ururain’s eyes are hard.
This is information collected by mercenaries.
Their concerns may be correct.
Concern on everyone’s faces.
“It was customary for military supplies to be transported by regular knights or soldiers from each country. As if even they are not enough, they are mobilizing merchants to transport them. They don’t even seem to be paying attention. Given this situation, the prevailing prediction is that a large-scale war will soon break out that will overturn the landscape of the Gaisha Continent. Even if a small spark is thrown, everything will burst into flames.”
Wizard Ururain’s words were full of confidence.
An answer from someone who has been in the mercenary world for many years and survived.
It is no different from the words of a wise man.
I nodded.
“In order to recruit talented mercenaries, empires and kingdoms have been contacting us using official knights and titles as bait. Especially for those who are Spirit Expert intermediate level or higher. Just as the dry sky gathers moisture before a storm approaches, all kingdoms are strategically trying to replenish their power.”
Ashnain also commented on what was unusual.
Many thoughts are mixed up.
I had a strong feeling that everything that had happened up to this point had been planned and proceeded sequentially in a set order.
It was clear that I was involved in something major whose true nature was unknown.
“If war breaks out, how will mercenary groups behave?”
“Large-scale mercenary groups determine where to participate in the war by predicting victory or defeat based on their excellent information gathering ability. Small and medium-sized mercenaries follow large mercenary groups. In places where there is a lack of power, the cost of life is high. “Unless you’re a stupid mercenary in need of money, there’s no need to go.”
It’s an obvious choice.
But now is the time to check the most important things.
I met them today.
That too is a short period of time.
You promised me your loyalty, but I need at least confirmation.
“if… “If I, the leader, choose a kingdom with weak military power, what will the mercenary group do?”
A question that hit me hard.
That moment!
Quick and easy!
