Chapter 49
Chapter 49
My proposal passed under the constraints of others judging whether it was risky or not.
There were no reasonable restrictions on moving to a party, so I readily accepted it and organized the story. In the first place, I have no intention of being forced in a situation beyond my ability. You should cherish your one and only life.
“The location of the enemy and the number of people have all been figured out. Our guild members expected that the plan would be settled in three days, from convergence and execution to round-trip travel time.”
The work of receptionists and adventurer guild members did not stop at simply recording requests and delivering rewards. Figuring out and adjusting the difficulty and fairness of the request was their main task and the adventurer’s guild’s greatest significance.
And those of us who know that fact can put our minds at ease just a little bit.
“Except for the fact that you have to move quietly, it’s a measurable request after all. I let go.”
“Because there is no answer when suddenly someone like an officer of the Demon King’s Army pops up.”
“Haha. Even so, I won’t hand over a request that isn’t even measured.
After all, it is work and business. Even if the guild moves for the well-being of the kingdom, it is money that moves adventurers. It was probably for that reason that they picked and picked those who would soon rise in rank.
“As I said, since this is a request from the royal family, the fee itself is expensive. Since it also means the cost of silence, the amount will be satisfactory.”
“How old are you?”
Engrim silently raised two fingers and everyone, including myself, was surprised. The meaning of that dignified finger cannot be a mere silver coin!
“goldfinch?”
“It’s a gold coin. That’s per person.”
Even Gaendal and Gin, who had been so calm until now, tilted their glasses with excitement. Ekaterina began counting with her hands, and Lelie smiled casually as she leaned back in her chair. And it was no different for me.
There are no green-level or blue-level requests where gold coins are the reward. Wouldn’t it be around 10 silver coins at most? Self-sufficiency was said to take gold coins from a rather large request, but even that was not a level that could be solved alone in most cases.
However, not one gold coin, but two. After all, the royal family was the royal family. Thinking about how much money and benefits the guild would receive, I began to understand the chocolates and meals that Cheryl and I gave out yesterday.
If you use this much, you must have received enough to avoid the stigma of taking money from the guild later. Not sure if it’s worth it though.
“I think I’ve sorted out the beginning, and I’ve finished eating. Now let’s talk in earnest.”
The conversation that followed was so diverse that it should have been accompanied by documented data.
To put it simply, there are 20 people. It can be said that all of them are located in abandoned dungeons that have been judged to be no longer valuable for talented people, and that the past is extraordinary.
“It’s too much to have to memorize things like this on the spot.”
“Haha. I also had a hard time memorizing it.”
I was the only one who could sympathize with Ekatrina’s words of spitting out the ballmen. Others began to memorize the information Engrim told them, feeling that they were already being commissioned, and Yekatrina, who grumbled just once, eventually began to focus on memorizing the parts she needed to pay attention to.
To be honest, it wasn’t particularly difficult to memorize. I don’t know if I’m smart or not, but in the end, it was inevitable that all the stories I heard felt like the setting of a game or novel, and the overflowing interest was because I remembered the information on my own.
As a result of remembering and analyzing like that, the biggest intersection of the guys who are our goal was the past.
Whether it’s treason, tax evasion, or disrespect for the royal family, the children of families who have taken on the kingdom and pretense in any form. On the outside, they’re all bad people, so you can say they’re trying to sell out the country until the end, but… From my point of view, I wasn’t born in this world, they were just people with their own circumstances.
The difference is whether the target who joined hands to avenge the kingdom is a foreign country or a demon.
No matter how much I aim for the head of the demon commander, it is only to cut off the person who has the authority to command or initiate the plan and engrave a warning that I must never touch myself again, not because I hate the entire demon tribe. Rather, it can be affirmed that he has no ill feelings toward the demons.
Demons are just a heterogeneous race. It’s just a problem because it’s too strong. It’s not particularly preying on people, and it’s not like they’re an evil species that only chooses vicious things. It is classified as a demon and actually exists separately.
War between nations everywhere. It’s simply a matter of that, but the other side is a physically superior demon tribe, so it’s a calm reality that it’s being packaged as if it’s a crisis for mankind along with all kinds of media play.
However, since there is a warrior whom God points to, humans regard the demons as evil and follow them without question.
And that part was also the biggest question for me.
It is not a world where it is difficult to feel the existence of God like in the previous life. It is a place where records of numerous gods appearing, performing miracles, or acting through incarnations remain as official affairs and are in full swing. Creating a hero who does not exist by doing what God did not ask for with lies is an idea that only a madman would do. So, it can be said that the warrior exists.
However, there was no story that a hero was chosen in a war between humans or between different races. A hero is born only during a war between demons.
Of course, compared to any race, the system of demons and demons tends to be different. Because they have such an independent structure, they play separately to the extent that it is difficult to dismiss them as a simple heterogeneous group.
It is a world where humans can become strong with Aura and Mana, but that is only a small number of people. The average strength of a normal human being is only slightly stronger physically than in the previous life.
But demons are different. Physically and magically, he is strong as if he was just born for it. It is not possible to enter the inside of the demonic spirit, so it is not possible to make a hasty decision, but it is safe to say that the average strength is about two steps above humankind.
However, even if that is the case, it is ridiculous to even say that you must defeat God and Chuck with just that, and defeat it through an oracle.
Not even all the gods give blessings to a single hero, but always only the god of light served by the Imperial Spiritual Assembly gives fortune to the hero, so the structure only deepens the question.
That trust is also a problem. It’s not about wiping out the demons, it’s about just defeating the demon king. In that way, defeating the demon king would solve a series of incidents, which has been a history that has continued until now.
It is my opinion that if they were truly evil and sought to exterminate mankind, the continent would have been plowed one or four more times.
Even I don’t believe in the existence of God after reincarnating, but it was clear that their purpose was not what mankind thinks.
“Even if the bastards hold hands, they hold hands with demons.”
Because they went through such an accident, unlike others who don’t care and become serious when only demons get involved, the guys in my eyes were just ordinary villains who made the wrong plans and chose the wrong people to join hands with.
“Hmm? Did you say something?”
I answered naturally, slightly surprised by Ekatrina’s reaction at how she picked up my muttering in the midst of this commotion.
“I’m just talking to myself. I don’t think there will be any big problems except for the demons.”
Like an ordinary villain, he was an opponent without much difficulty. It is said that there are about five aura users mixed together and there are magicians, but as long as they have defeated the gods who are hostile to the demons, the only means of recovery for them is natural recovery through potions and mana.
In addition, due to living in a dungeon without proper facilities for a long time, the life pattern is irregular and there is a penalty for conditioning. Their positions are no different from those in the palm of our hand.
“I think it’s more like an accurate judgment of the situation rather than confidence. In fact, I feel that way too.”
It’s like a dwarf, but Gin already asked Engrim while I was researching the demons, and after checking if there was a map of the dungeon, Gin agreed with my opinion while drinking without any worries. The others didn’t particularly object, but Engrim didn’t show any signs of being caught off guard, befitting adventurers who had his eye on them. Meeting people like this after only looking at shy people makes me feel like I’m looking at characters in a novel.
“If 20 people were on the plains, the difficulty would have increased, but in the end, if it was inside a dungeon, the story would be different.
Even Ekaterina answered firmly. Her appearance was so confident that I was ashamed of myself in the past, who had some insecurities about her intellectual abilities.
“I have only a little bit of people-watching skills, but I’m not sure I’m really new to planning such a plan, but a good friend who said it would take three days said something similar. I’m relieved to see that you guys have the same story.”
Engrim, very satisfied with our response, smiled and nodded.
