“Kim Shin-ryung would be a good fit.”

The only person who can handle these materials perfectly is Kim Shin-ryung.

The Claws of Hatred are a material that requires a great deal of care. It’s not something that can be left to black market traders.

When Kang-hoo came out of the dungeon, Han Seung-hyuk was standing there, unlike when he thought there would be no one there.

There is no time limit for clearing dungeons, so how long have you been waiting here?

It didn’t make sense for him to stay quietly outside the dungeon if he came to spy on them. Did he come to look good?

“Thank you for your hard work! Thank you so much for organizing the inside of the mystery dungeon.”

Judging from the flow of the conversation, it seemed like he had come to thank me for clearing out the difficult dungeon.

If we had outsourced it to a famous guild, we would have had to pay more, but it was resolved without any problems.

Kang-hoo absentmindedly threw the three green magic stones he was holding in his hand at Han Seung-hyeok.

“What is this?”

“Next time, find a dungeon with lots of mid-bosses and main bosses. A place with a level that’s not lower than this one.”

“Ah! I see. Let’s also check to see if there are any dungeons that other regional guilds find difficult to handle!”

Han Seung-hyuk even promises to ask about dungeons on his own now. The power of capitalism is truly amazing.

“If I don’t answer, leave a message. I won’t accept messages that are not related to business.”

“Of course!”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Kang-hoo disappeared leisurely.

After that, the porters who received Han Seung-hyeok’s instructions headed into the dungeon, but they didn’t pay any attention to that.

You have to bury the beans in many people’s mouths so that later they will follow you without complaint.

Kang-hu, who was walking quietly outside to get some fresh air, received a phone call.

It was Jeon Se-hyeok’s call.

There was only one reason for him to contact me at this point. Kang-hoo picked up the phone right away.

“This is Shin Kang-hoo.”

– All settings are complete.

“It’s faster than I thought.”

– This side was waiting for an opportunity, but the other side laid the groundwork. I can confirm what you said about Go Kyung-ho.

Go Kyung-ho.

This is the hunter that Kang-hoo must kill in order to pass the test of the Black Seeker Constellation.

In fact, even if the constellation test wasn’t the reason, Go Kyung-ho was a villain with more than enough reasons to die.

Unlike Kang Dong-hyun, who at least has a pretty good image externally.

Go Kyung-ho was a janitor who took care of all kinds of dirty work at Eclipse. He was the Shin Tae-seok of the Purification Guild.

Although I do feel some fatigue from the mystery dungeons, I always have this level of fatigue attached to me like a passive skill.

So I took a break by rolling my sore shoulders a few times and continued talking.

“Where should I go?”

– Come to the south of Pyeongtaek. I will send you the exact address through Huntergram’s secure DM.

“I know that you were aggressively attacking the outskirts of Daejeon until recently, but the location has completely changed.”

– Well, it’s a strategy of sorts. Even now, most of Eclipse’s forces are in Daejeon.

Go Kyung-ho didn’t come to Pyeongtaek without any reason.

Because the Eclipse branch located south of Pyeongtaek is larger than expected.

It was also a meaningful place as it was where Eclipse, based in Daejeon, first expanded its influence.

The fact that an executive of the same rank as Ko Kyung-ho came was probably to encourage the organization’s members.

He must be really depressed because he’s been being harassed so relentlessly by Jeon Se-hyeok and his group recently.

It was a strategically sound choice for an executive to come at such a time to encourage and empower everyone.

It’s the best opportunity for Kang-hoo.

Jeon Se-hyeok asked next.

– Would you like to join?

There is no reason to refuse.

I don’t have any immediate plans to meet Takashina Ayane or Kim Shin-ryung, and I don’t have any urgent external schedules.

Since time was running out, I was actually happy that the opportunity came at such a time.

“I will move.”

– It would be better if you came right away. There is a heavy rain warning for the southern part of Gyeonggi Province starting tomorrow night, which is D-Day.

rain.

Weather can be an obstacle depending on how you use it, but it can also be the best tool.

If he asked himself, Kang-hoo was on the side that preferred rain.

From the perspective of an assassin who must hide his presence as much as possible and befriend darkness, it satisfies two conditions.

The sound of rain drowns out the sound of footsteps, and the clouds obscure the bright sunlight. That’s just how an assassin likes it.

“Please give me your address.”

Kang-hoo set his direction towards Suwon Station.

* * *

After that.

I received two calls while moving to Suwon Station.

The first was a call from K, saying that the bile purification had been completed early and that ‘delivery’ had begun.

Before Kang-hoo entered the mystery dungeon, he had briefly told K about his current location, so it seemed that the delivery person had already left for that area.

So I asked to store it in the unmanned storage locker at Suwon Station.

Since the process did not involve any face-to-face contact between the seller, broker, or buyer, there was no need to worry about their faces being exposed.

and.

I also received a call from Lee Ye-rin.

Since the only contacts from her were about overseas requests, Kang-hoo answered the phone diligently.

It felt like we were doing what would normally have been several days’ worth of calls in one day.

– I received a mercenary request from Germany. It was a dungeon raid request that came in as a designated task from the beginning.

“Let me hear it.”

– The designated hunters are Kang-hoo and Ayane.

“It seems like it’s not just about maintaining the bleeding, right?”

– Yes. I heard that if Ayane isn’t there, it would be quite a difficult request for Kang-hoo.

My curiosity is piqued.

If you are doing a dungeon request that absolutely requires a sniper, it usually means that there are monsters that attack from the air.

What kind of environment would require an Assassin and a Gunner to move together as a group?

first.

Before I go into detail, I wanted to see if I could make a counteroffer first.

The reason Kang-hoo considered Germany as his top priority for commissioning was because of the set items from the Fallen series.

Among the remaining items, the location of the breastplate was Germany.

To be exact, it is located near the Zwinger Palace in Dresden, in the dungeon with code number 13.

The guild that currently owns this dungeon is the German Kampf Guild.

“First, I would like to discuss other compensation to replace the commission fee. Is it possible to talk?”

– Yes. It is now fully connected to the client side. Real-time mediation is possible.

“Dresden. Near the Zwinger Palace. I would like to receive a license to conquer Dungeon Code 13 as a reward.”

– wait a minute.

Usually, when you hear this kind of story, you would usually ask back, “What’s in that dungeon?”

That’s because he’s talking about a specific dungeon overseas that has no connection to Kang-hoo whatsoever.

However, it was not a dungeon that was well known to the public.

However, Lee Ye-rin never asked why and continued the conversation with the client.

I can hear fluent German.

Kang-hoo is fluent in Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Latin, and English, but is not fluent in German.

Unfortunately, now we have no choice but to interpret her fluent pronunciation arbitrarily.

The conversation continued for about three minutes.

Actually, I didn’t think the answer would come right away, but surprisingly, the result came quickly.

– It is possible. Unlike Korea, Germany is a place where license rental and trading are active, right? I think that is why.

“Then I will accept the request as soon as I confirm it. What did Ayane say?”

– I haven’t contacted you yet. If the bleeding doesn’t continue, the request wouldn’t have been possible in the first place.

“I see. Let me hear it.”

– They say you just have to extract the sap from a plant called Shaprichter. That’s all there is to it, but that’s why it’s difficult.

“Sharprichtera… … .”

Shapreechter. A plant called executioner in Korean.

As the name suggests, it was a mutant plant with numerous attack abilities.

This guy is similar to the mutant sunflower we encountered at Ground Zero a while ago.

– The problem is that in order to extract the sap, the bleeding needs to be at its maximum stack, and the person causing the bleeding is under concentrated attack.

“In short, we need a contractor who can keep the bleeding going and keep putting up with the disruption.”

– That’s right. It seems like they asked Kang-hoo because it’s so hard to find someone with that kind of skill.

“Can I get information on a previously failed request?”

– 13 wins, 13 losses. I tried sending out some useful Berserkers and Assassins, but they all failed. There were six death cases.

“It looks like there’s even a hope advisor.”

Kang-hoo smiled bitterly.

It’s true that the clients are sincere about their requests, but they don’t risk their lives doing them.

What this means is that if you feel like you’re going to fail, just quit without hesitation.

Because there is nothing more precious than life.

If you give up in the middle, the transaction with that client will be cut off, and your value to the mercenary group will decrease.

For a mercenary group, all they have to do is find a new place, and this world is a place where there are plenty of clients to give out requests.

Nevertheless, if six out of thirteen cases died… … there is one reason.

This means that there are many elements that discourage clients who are trying to take on a challenge, even if it seems like it will work out.

In other words, it is a monster that maliciously tramples on intruders. It is not an ordinary bet.

“Let’s go ahead. I’m really curious. Plus, since they agreed to the change in salary, I have no complaints.”

Kang-hoo received the request.

Just having the chance to get the Corrupted Series Breastplate was enough. Even if I didn’t eat it, it was still good.

at that time.

– I’m telling you in advance that it’s information the client can reveal. It’s the Stark Guild in Germany.

“Stark?”

– Yes. It’s a bit of an unfamiliar name, isn’t it?

No, it’s a familiar name.

The reason Kang-hoo knows about the Stark Guild is because there are hunters here who haven’t joined the Thirteen Stars.

There are currently eight Hunters in total on the thirteen stars collectively known as ‘Justice’.

Five have not joined yet.

One of them is the deputy guild master of the Stark Guild.

‘Lars Abel.’

In the original work, he was portrayed as an ambitious character.

That’s why Jang Si-hwan recruited Lars to Thirteen Stars, promising to show him a ‘new world’.

At the time, Jang Si-hwan, who had a world-class network and top-notch colleagues, was the object of Lars’ admiration.

The time of his joining is two years later. It is a time when Jang Si-hwan will have grown several levels more than he has now.

‘This is how a connection is made.’

Lars is not a star in the big picture either.

It is a little different from Jang Si-hwan, Chae Gwan-hyeong, Casey Rex, and Vincent Meyer, who are impossible to persuade or win over.

Of course, we need to approach it with a completely different picture than when dealing with a guy like Takashi.

There is only one way to win the heart of an ambitious person: to satisfy his ambition.

A request from Germany that had to be given priority due to necessity. Here, an unexpected turning point opened up.
