Chapter 28.1: ?? ??? ???? ?? ??? ???? ???? ???? (?)
Khan, The oldest among the mercenaries predicted exactly right.
?
As soon as Gamson and Pell brought out a warhorse, they were plunged into chaos.
?
Johan was too scared to run out of the town, but there was no proper way to do so.
?
??? ?? ???? ?? ?? ?? ??? ????? ?? ?? ???? ??????? ???? ????, ?? ????? ?? ???????? ?? ???? ?????? ?? ????????. . .
?
????? ???? ??, ???! ?’? ????????.
?
Gamson got irritated. Pell couldn’t respond and shrank back. Outside the town, especially alone, Gamson seemed as high as the sky to Pell.
?
???. . . ????. ?? ?????? ?? ????? ???? ??? ?????.
?
???? ???’? ?? ???? ?? ?? ??? ???? ??? ???? ???
?
????? ??, ???! ??’? ??? ???? ????! ?? ??? ????? ??????? ??? ?????’? ???? ?? ???? ??? ? ???????? ???? ??????? ?? ??? ???’? ???? ?? ??? ?????? ???, ???? ???? ?????!
?
?????’? ?? ???? ??????? ? ???? ???? ????? ???’? ????? ? ???????? ??? ???? ??????
?
?!
?
It sounded like a crazy idea, but it was impossible for their minds to work well while wandering the cold, dark fields at night. Gamson thought hard.
?
‘??????, ??? ???? ?? ???, ?? ????? ???’? ?? ??? ?????????? ???? ????? ????????? ?? ???????????, ??? ?? ?? ???? ??? ????? ?????? ???? ??’?? ??????? ?? ???????, ????’?? ???????? ???? ?? ??????? ??’? ???? ??? ????.’
?
Talking to a horse merchant, not a merchant or a mercenary, seemed like a good idea to Gamson.
?
It was a foolish decision made without knowing that the merchants of the city were interconnected like a spiderweb.
?
??????
?
“You’re very healthy, you b*stard!”
?
“I prayed to God that you wouldn’t die. I wanted to kill you myself!”
?
The mercenaries reacted heatedly upon seeing the two locked in a solitary cell.
?
Joy of reunion!
?
They wouldn’t have been this happy even if they had met their wives again.
?
“C-Captain. Let me explain. . .”
?
“Don’t call me Captain anymore. It’s not about explaining.”
?
“What?”
?
“You should say ‘? ??? ?????.’ Of course, it won’t do much good, but still, you scum.”
?
With those words, Goran beat Gamson. The people of the association had locked them up carefully so they wouldn’t get hurt, but that only made it more annoying.
?
Did they eat and sleep well in the solitary cell while we were wandering and suffering?
?
The sounds of beating, bones breaking, and chilling screams erupted from the cell. The old grudges of the mercenaries were terrifying.
?
Meanwhile, outside, Johan and Eldans were having a cultured conversation with the people of the association.
?
“Oh, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you guys. . .”
?
“Haha. What are you talking about, Mr. Eldans. I learned it from Mr. Eldans.”
?
The employees of the association and guild were closely connected. They were very happy to have been helpful to Eldans.
?
“The merchant thought something was suspicious when he came babbling, so he delayed and sent someone to us. Mr. Eldans wouldn’t have sent a mercenary back without a letter, so it seemed suspicious.”
?
“Right. Right.”
?
“But who is this person?”
?
“He’s a knight we met on this business trip.”
?
“Ah. . .”
?
The employees momentarily showed a look of discomfort. To them, who were commoners, violent and high-ranking knights were naturally objects of aversion. A collision with them could only lead to their downfall. . .
?
“Don’t worry. He’s a young knight who knows honor and respects the weak.”
?
“. . .?”
?
Johan was flustered.
?
‘??? ? ?? ?????’
?
However, the assurance from Eldans was more effective than expected. The clerks immediately lowered their guard upon hearing it.
?
“If Mr. Eldans says so, he must be a remarkable person. . .”
?
“How honorable must he be? What achievements has he made?”
?
“He’s not yet famous, but soon his name will be known throughout the Empire. . .”
?
“Eldans?”
?
“Yes, Johan-nim?”
?
Johan put his arm around Eldans’s shoulder and whispered softly.
?
“Be modest, it’s embarrassing.”
?
“. . .Yes!”
?
Eldans thought to himself upon Johan’s words.
?
He doesn’t swagger about such praises but humbles himself.
?
Truly, a knight out of an old tale!
