Episode 151 In Xantria (5)
“A life that would have died anyway! Even if I were to die again at the command of the One who saved me, what chance would there be? “Everyone in the Silver Wolf Mercenaries will be prepared to die and be loyal to the leader’s orders by sacrificing their lives!”
A voice that rings loudly.
All of the executives, including the Silver Wolf mercenary group’s vice-leader, knelt on one knee.
Although he is a mercenary, he has the same attitude as a knight.
They are not after money.
I dreamed of fame.
The Silver Wolf mercenary group possesses excellent organizational skills, enough to take over the mercenary guild.
He answered the new leader’s question with an honest voice.
“… … .”
The leader looks with a deep gaze.
It was confirmed that he was a silver-haired Shinigami disciple.
It came just as it had been prophesied.
A human who possesses swordsmanship, magic, and elemental arts.
The only people like that are the silver-haired Shinigami and his disciples.
He has been testing.
There is only one answer he wants!
Loyalty!!!
I have not forgotten the grace I received in the past.
A silver-haired Shinigami who generously passed on his abilities to orphans who were on the verge of starvation.
Now is the time to give your life for him.
“i get it. Thank you for your loyalty. “Get up.”
“Chuuuuung!”
Everyone, from the vice-captain on down, stood up at once, shouting loyalty.
I have saved my life just for today.
A master who will lead everyone.
The result of waiting is satisfactory.
Although he is a younger man than you might think, the energy he exudes cannot be ignored.
It feels as if you are face to face with a great nobleman or king.

“What is an executioner?”
“The enforcer is responsible for coordinating the relationships between mercenaries, mercenary groups, and traders.”
“Coordinator?”
“They are like inspectors and judges in the rough world of mercenaries.”
“What about permissions?”
“Only those who break the mercenary rules can take their lives. We also use our power against those who do not pay the mercenaries’ fair wages for their labor.”
I like the authority.
In short, the true master who rules the guild.
“Is it limited to the Silver Wolf mercenaries?”
“Five people recommended by mercenaries from the Danju or Budanju levels of the five major mercenary groups on the continent are taking on this role.”
Three of them are held by the Silver Wolf mercenaries.
A cross-section of a mercenary society with strong skills.
I understood the situation to some extent from Ashnain’s explanation.
Executors who can exercise omnipotent influence.
He even has the power to control the life and death of mercenaries other than those he belongs to.
Such an event would not be easy to understand in the mercenary world that pursues voluntary and free power.
Executors with such a strong position.
“What kind of leader should I be to you?”
Three people exchanging glances with each other.
We looked at each other at the sudden question.
“Please give approval for the mercenary group’s important issues and suggest a direction for moving forward.”
He smiled lightly at Ururain’s answer.
There is a lot of work to do now to take charge of a mercenary group.
You can’t get caught up in small things like a frog in a well.
It’s not clear, but I definitely need to find something prepared for me.
The same goes for Fiona.
Now the intelligence guild was more trustworthy than the mercenaries.
Instead, I don’t plan to sit by and watch.
As you collect more information about the Gaisha Continent, you will need to use mercenaries at that time.
The responsibility for causality is entirely mine.
“I have something to tell you.”
“Please order.”
“I have work to do now.”
“Just give me the order! “We will solve it!”
This is a confident answer.
“It’s what I have to do.”
“yes?”
“You have to find what you lost. until then… “Please wait.”
“Captain… we… … .”
“Ururain will know. “What am I trying to find?”
I looked at the wizard.
“… All right.”
The wizard was wise.
There is no need to say anything.
“Don’t suddenly disappear like the Shinigami… Please contact me sometimes. Otherwise, I will release all the mercenaries on the continent and go looking for you.”
Ashnain acted like a child.
Vice leaders who look strong but have a soft heart.
“Just like it has been… Please wait. “I will return as your true leader.”
“I am used to waiting. “Don’t worry.”
“If anything happens, call us!”
“Everyone in the mercenary guild will follow you, leader!”
Supporters that exceeded expectations.
“I will become your unashamed master.”
“Chuuuuung!”
***
“Master Rezel!”
Returned to the mercenary guild.
When I went down the stairs, Amshon was waiting.
A nervous expression is evident.
“Have you been waiting this long?”
“Are you okay?”
“???”
“The executors… “They are scary people.”
Amshon looks at the third floor with his eyes wide open.
I checked with the mercenaries where the executioners were.
“Please recommend a restaurant.”
“Don’t worry! “I’ll give it a proper shot today.”
Amshon quickly cleared his face and answered confidently.
“Let’s go to the best restaurant in Wangseong.”
Amshon took the lead.
It seems like he is trying to pay for his life properly.
The charisma he showed when leading the mercenaries is nowhere to be found.
Acts and speaks like a friendly local guy.
“Amshon.”
“yes?”
“To commemorate becoming a mercenary today, I will give my senior a treat.”
“Oh, no! “The price of my life is not light.”
“That’s the special express. “I will accept it later when you become stronger than me.”
“No, then for the rest of your life…” … .”
The head of the family who supports his family.
The blood, sweat, and money of such a mercenary cannot be melted.
“Don’t worry about money, let me guide you to the best place in Kshantria.”
I feel good today.
A number of unexpected and reliable subordinates have emerged.
The statement that he is a silver-haired Shinigami disciple is a lie, but the way things are going does not seem to be a lie.
It’s like someone prepared something just for me.
“All right! “I can’t stand in front of a special mercenary.”
Amshon nodded.
And he proudly took the lead.
A place arrived soon.
“She is the lost queen of winter… … .”
A bar with a sign reminiscent of Andersen’s The Winter Queen.
It is a two-story wooden building that looks ordinary on the outside.
Most of the buildings in the capital were stone walls, but not this one.
The snow that fell yesterday had not yet melted and piled up on top of the wooden building, adding to the charm.
It looked good and seemed to match the name of the bar.
“This is the best restaurant in Kshantriya! ha ha ha.”
Amshon went in smiling brightly, as if he was already happy.
The moment you follow behind and go inside.
“welcome.”
Wizard???
Surprisingly, the employee hired by the lost Queen of Winter is… She was a female wizard.
He is also an official 3rd circle wizard!
Her beauty was also outstanding.
“There are two of you. “This way.”
She naturally guided me and Amshon.
Even though it was broad daylight, about 50 tables were full.
There are many mercenaries and nobles mixed in here and there.
“Please give us specials on the Queen’s tears and the Queen’s snacks.”
“All right. Please wait.”
Amshon’s orders were humble.
What is admirable is that the store is full of magical devices.
“Amshon, what is this place?”
“Are you curious? “You can’t be considered a traveler on the continent if you don’t know the secrets of this place.”
Amshon was elated.
This place itself is something to be proud of.
3rd circle female mage.
How precious it is.
But hiring them as employees?
“I’m ready.”
“???”
Drinks and snacks came out faster than expected.
A speed that even bars on Earth can’t keep up with.
“!!!”
I was once again surprised when I saw the glass of alcohol.
surprisingly… … .
“Ice cup… … .”
The glass is an ice glass.
The ice is transparent, clean, and beautiful as if it was made by magic.
The alcohol filled in the glass was also unique.
This is not the brown beer of this town.
“It was completed after going through a magic filtration device.”
“ah!”
A subtle golden beer that is refreshing to look at.
Snacks are also outside of common sense.
Lightly frozen seasoned jerky and frosty cut sausage.
And various fruits with a hint of ice.
Just looking at it makes my teeth ache and feel cold.
Eating and drinking in the summer seems like a dream.
“Try it! “It’s more important to taste it yourself rather than explain it.”
Amshon urges.
I picked up a glass of ice and took a sip.
“!!!”
I was momentarily shocked by the surprise that stimulated my uvula.
Is this right???
Gulp.
Without realizing it, I opened my uvula and poured it in.
“Ugh… … .”
Amshon also emptied his glass and exclaimed in admiration.
it’s good.
No, it’s special.
It ranks next to the elf’s toast that I drank when I came to the Gaisha Continent.
It had a unique taste and great flavor.
A refreshing feeling in the creaminess, the scent of walking through a golden barley field, and the sweet taste of alcohol that explodes in your mouth!
It is accompanied by a feeling of coldness that makes the teeth ache.
Moreover, as it passed down my throat, the coldness became as soft as the warm sunlight of spring.
“This is what it tastes like! Umhahahaha.”
Amshon finished his glass and burst into laughter.
Then he picked up the snack and chewed it.
I also picked up some snacks.
“!!!”
Well, well.
Chewing taste.
This too was surprising.
The moment I chewed the half-frozen snack, I felt its unique texture, but it soon melted like a lie.
The unique taste of the snack is evident afterwards!
There was no fishy taste at all.
“This taste… This is my first time in my life. How can it taste like this… … .”
I looked at Amshon, surprised by the taste.
“This bar has over 400 years of history. “It is a very historic place.”
“400 years?”
“So, the lost Queen of Winter… … .”
As if he had made up his mind, Amshon told the story.
He continued chewing his snacks and pricking up his ears.
