Episode 16

“Commoner? I can tell just by looking at this guy. Did you come running because you liked that there was a smooth guy again?”

The wizard stared at me for a moment.

“Even to myself, he’s disgustingly handsome. You could mistake him for a nobleman.”

“Even if you look at my brother, who would have thought that I was a commoner? Anyway, let’s not waste time and go.”

“Wait a minute. What is your grade?”

The wizard asked me in a tone of contempt.

I wanted to stop dealing with it in my heart, but it was clear that the pod would be caught if I did.

I was polite and answered politely.

“It’s Dongpae. Sir.”

“Dongpae? Ha. Rather than being a mercenary with that skill, why don’t you become your lady’s mistress? If money is your goal, you look more talented than that.”

The mage’s facial expression and way of speaking clearly showed his contempt for me.

‘Why is this bastard f*cking alone? Isn’t this the first time we’ve seen each other today?’

It was when I was dumbfounded and bewildered.

Roberta lightly touched her arm as if to dissuade the wizard.

“Brother. Don’t be like that too much. What Lee says is that he studied martial arts with Sir Herbert Robinson. He has a close relationship with his father.”

“That Sir Herbert of the Black Panther Knights?”

“Yeah. If it wasn’t for that, I would have blown one cheek. So let’s go.”

Roberta looked at me with contempt.

“I heard that Sir Herbert is from a country village. Then this man is Lord Herbert’s squire? So why are you doing this here? Are you, Sir Herbert’s squire?”

“It’s not like that, but I was taught mana simbeop and martial arts.”

The wizard snorted at my answer.

“Sir Herbert has been out of service for about a year? If you’ve only learned that time, you’re not really that close?”

“Brother. You don’t know. If you’re really close to Sir Herbert, you’ll only get into trouble. Anyway, that’s Sir Herbert.”

“hmm…”

The wizard frowned as if he was worried and glared at me.

“I was going to pull it out neatly if I made a mistake about my poor eyesight. You were lucky.”

“I’m hungry. Let’s go quickly.”

The wizard and Roberta left, talking to me even if I didn’t care.

This is the first time I’ve talked to a noble.

I didn’t know if those bastards had a damn personality or if the other nobles were like that too.

The guys who laughed at me during the mercenary screening were really decent guys compared to those b*tches.

‘They’re complete assholes. How did you get your education so that your way of thinking is like that?’

Having lived only in rural villages, I have never experienced the irrationality of class.

But just after arriving in Erita, something outrageous happened.

‘It’s fun. fun.’

While working as a mercenary, you will be entangled with many people and many interests, so I was really looking forward to the future.

‘From the first day of the mercenary, the start was very cool, so the desire to become stronger just springs up. I won’t forget this grace and I’ll repay you with interest.’

I have enough talent to surpass geniuses in the sub-dimension.

Even if it was only the lowest-level mental method.

It takes time to rise to the level because the time you can stay in a day is short, but I was sure that one day I would definitely reach the master’s level.

You will know who will be looking down if you watch.

I took my eyes off the wizard and Roberta.

The window clerk, who watched me closely, gave me an awkward smile.

I, too, recalled the questions I had prepared with a light laugh out of embarrassment and annoyance.

But again, the voices of people came from behind.

This time, thinking about what was going on, I looked up and saw dozens of people gathered around the wizard and Roberta standing in front of the Mercenary Agency’s entrance, trying to have a conversation.

‘Are you a mercenary? Dealing with those idiots would be difficult if you weren’t a noble. Was there a mercenary corps that only nobles joined?’

I turned around and started asking the teller a question.

From the really basic to the details, the questions continued for a long time.

Even so, the window clerk kindly explained it without showing any signs of boredom.

“Thank you. I heard the explanation well.”

“Hoho. What? Next time, if you have business at the Mercenary Agency, come to the window where I am. And if you have time, would you like to have a meal with me tonight? I’ll treat you.”

“Thank you for your words, but I have a prior appointment today.”

“Ah. I see. Then, please let me know when the time comes later. My name is Serena Sims. Feel free to call me Serena.”

“Okay, Mr. Serena. Then see you next time.”

Being friendly with the working staff is a definite help in the life of a mercenary.

I smiled brightly at Serena and left the window.

‘Should we go to the north gate now?’

After summarizing the information I heard from Serena, I decided to go to the North Gate outside the border.

The courtyard between the inner and outer walls of the North Gate was a place for mercenaries to gather and seek companions.

My first goal is to gather my colleagues and learn the geography around the border to get a sense of the real world.

The geography outside the border has been learned from Richard’s brother to some extent.

Based on the military map, Richard told us about the habitats of monster species and the limits of their presence.

However, I did not tell them with an accurate map, but because I conveyed what was in my head, I needed to check the details.

‘First of all, making money is the first thing to live like a human being. Let’s figure out the surrounding geography while hunting.’

My mercenary level is Bronze Beginner.

The salary is up to 40 silver coins per year.

A mission that needs to be completed in one year is worth 100 points.

Each orc was worth 4 points, so each was 160 fairy tales.

Looking at it this way, it seems like you can make a lot of money quickly by hunting only orcs, but in reality it is not.

This is because no matter how many small or medium-sized monsters, such as goblins or orcs, you can’t get more money than the fixed salary.

If you want to earn money after filling up your mission points, you have to hunt large monsters like trolls.

When I was organizing my thoughts and walking toward the door of the Mercenary Agency.

Someone grabbed my shoulder from behind.

I looked behind me and saw a man in his mid-thirties standing there with a not-so-good-natured smile.

There were two muscular men in their twenties on either side of the man, and their strange eyes made me feel rejected for some reason.

“Hey. What’s your name?”

“What’s my name?”

I felt bad for the man who touched my body.

However, he asked with his usual face without revealing his emotions.

“Heh heh. You can’t guess who I am? I guess this guy who claims to be a mercenary didn’t properly research information beforehand. Anyway, by the way. What’s your relationship with those nobles?”

Judging from the atmosphere, it seemed good to show off one’s friendship with the nobility to reduce trouble.

However, I did not know what would happen to me if my words reached the ears of idiots, so I told the truth.

“It’s nothing special, he misunderstood me as an aristocrat and said hello for a while.”

“Hmm. That’s right. I saw you bowing in greeting. But are you really a commoner?”

I didn’t feel the need to answer, so I turned around instead.

“I’m busy, so I’ll go now.”

“Ugh, why is this guy in such a hurry?

Thomas explained what kind of mercenary corps Jerome’s mercenary corps were and the advantages of joining the mercenary corps.

“How is it? Are you ready to join the mercenary corps now?”

“No. Thanks for the offer, but I’ll decline. Enough then.”

As if Thomas hadn’t expected my firm refusal, he became a mute drunk.

As I tried to turn around, Thomas grabbed me again.

This time, he was holding on to the back of the fleece coat, not his shoulder, so the coat would almost tear.

I stopped quickly to avoid damaging my coat and looked at Thomas.

“Look. Looking at the equipment, it looks like it takes a bit of strength. Outside the border is not a place where you can survive just by being strong. You don’t know, but this is a really good opportunity.”

Thomas looked at me with great generosity.

“I’m really sorry, but I have no intention of joining the mercenaries. My colleagues are waiting for me, so I’ll go now.”

The moment you leave the border, the only thing you can trust is yourself.

There is no such thing as perfect trust, but in the case of a well-known mercenary group, they are building their own system to promote profit and safety.

It is a proven fact that those who belong to the mercenary group earn a much higher income and survive longer than those who do not.

However, I had no intention of joining the mercenary corps because I planned to hunt alone whenever I had the chance.

“This bastard kicks me even though he gives me a really good opportunity. If he just accepts it, follow me with gratitude. If he comes out like this, I’ll think of him as rejecting my sincerity, and I won’t stay still either.”

Thomas suddenly got angry and threatened me.

A hint of ulterior motive was evident on Thomas’ face.

It was time for me to contemplate whether or not to enlist the help of Uncle Harbert once again.

“Thomas. Why don’t you stop talking nonsense about saying you don’t like it? Also, since the smell is so vibrating, wipe your back well.”

A red-haired woman with a sensual appearance was walking in the direction from which the voice was heard.

And behind her were four women with long bodies and beautiful faces.

“Eva-sama. We’re still talking. What are you doing?”

Eva laughed at Thomas’ words.

“It smells really bad, so why don’t you just turn it off when you say nice things?”

Eva looked down at Thomas’ waist and smirked.

Thomas, whose face turned red, frowned and shouted.

“I’ll make this clear to the captain!”

“Like it or not. If you keep bothering me, should we have a duel? I’m thinking of calling my sister as a great warrior because my injury hasn’t fully healed. What do you think? Do you think your captain, whom you’re so loyal to, will fight for you?”

“profit!”

Thomas gritted his teeth at Eva’s words.

After that, he left the mercenary office with a red face.

Eva, who was watching the scene, snorted and said to me.

“Hey, pretty girl. Do you know what kind of guy he is? He’s like a rattle that takes care of Captain Jerome’s dirty work. If it wasn’t for me, he’d be in real trouble. Because…”

Eva put her face close to my ear and whispered softly.

“Because Jerome is a man and a woman, and he’s a madman who will attack you as long as he’s pretty. What do you think? Don’t you feel grateful to me?”

Eva smelled good.

However, as I reflected on Eva’s words, I remembered the frightening scene and quickly forgot the scent.

‘There are too many crazy people. I have to get stronger as soon as possible.’

Outside of town, it was a tough world with crazy people from all walks of life.
