Faith Life of a Former Scammer

162. Hing! I was tricked!

“You put me in a pretty interesting place.”

Despite Oren’s sullen words, the masked man was not intimidated. rather enjoyed it.

“I am really glad you enjoyed it. There was a lot to say about this on our side as well. None of us thought it would work.”

The guy strode toward Oren.

“This is the place he ordered impossible to attack. How did you succeed?”

I don’t know what’s so fun about it, but he was so excited.

‘He? Does it sound like there is a class?’

Thanks, I was able to get some info. Black people are not a horizontal structure.

‘There’s a guy who’s in command of them.’

As Oren stared at him, he realized his mistake.

“haha. I enjoyed this so much that I even said something I shouldn’t have said.”

However, something was strange.

‘Are they making mistakes like this?’

Those who have lived their entire lives to hide themselves, so simply?

That’s a very foolish judgment.

‘It was spilled on purpose.’

I was just faking a mistake, and I would have intended to tell you in the first place.

The reason is simple.

“You look petty.”

“Hoo. I guess you understand what I mean?”

“Do you want to hear how to attack like that?”

“haha. If anyone hears it, I want to hear the method, so I’ll know that I made a mistake on purpose.”

It was a deliberate mistake to listen to the attack method.

At best, it was an exchange of information, at worst, it was tantamount to blackmail.

“Of course, you will have to pay the price for listening to our information.”

Anyway, it was as I thought.

“At Killika, we describe it as hard selling or fraud.”

“Isn’t that what powerless people are talking about? They say it’s a deal we can’t refuse.”

As the guy said, strong sales and fraud can be traded if those with power do it.

“I solved it with gold.”

“… … Yes?”

“Need more explanation? If so, that’s disappointing.”

Oren said it provocatively, but he didn’t come over easily.

“Yes. Required. Is this possible by investing gold?”

“That is a stupid question. That is a lack of gold.”

“What!”

The boy screamed like it was nonsense. It wasn’t that Oren was lying without a countermeasure.

The story we are talking about now was one of the strategies the wizards and purifiers concocted.

“The energy inside the magic circle is purified with divine power.”

“haha. Do you know how many priests it takes to make that possible? Even if there are holy things… … You can’t!?”

The boy started to catch on.

“It’s not just the holy things. I mobilized all the jewels that can absorb energy, including magic stones.”

“… … Did you use that crazy method? Wouldn’t that have been impossible with Killika’s power alone?”

Killika wasn’t the only one involved in this.

“You seem to have forgotten that there is even the earth and the sun. Rather, I wondered what the hell he had done to the pope to be able to provide such support.”

“haha. Pope Did the old man send the relics? I was worried about what to do with the stockpile of relics, but this is really good news.”

The guy started coming over.

“It will be expected where the magic stone side received support.”

“Is that why you opened the ruins? Wouldn’t that have been enough?”

“Purchasing at cost was sufficient under that condition.”

Every single thing Oren prepared was serving as the basis for the story.

“You hit real gold. What you said earlier is correct. If things fail with gold, it means lack of gold!”

“Now you can talk. Of course, even with that preparation, it wasn’t enough.”

The boy nodded as if he understood.

“Besides, the guy who jumped out last… … It was to the point of judging that you sent me in to kill me.”

“It came out too. that being.”

Those on the dark side knew what would happen if they dealt with the magic circle.

“We gave up because the cost-effectiveness was too local, but it was really possible.”

As the guy said, the magic circle wasn’t as effective as the cost of breaking it.

Their goal is to destroy the world.

According to Sergeant Yoon’s words, the damage was only 20,000. The end of the world was far from over.

“It is even more surprising. Did you take care of that?”

“under. Do you think it’s something that can be handled? It is an existence outside the standard where the adversary itself is impossible.”

An excuse was also prepared for this.

“I made a deal with him.”

Oren activated the sentence of the contract engraved in his chest. A light flashed in his chest, and he burst into laughter.

“haha. Are you crazy? Do you make a contract with that being? There will be nothing more fun in my entire life!”

The guy who laughed for a long time asked a question.

“What kind of contract did you leave?”

“Tell me… … number… … none.”

When Oren struggled to answer, he immediately realized what was going on.

“Ohh. It’s a contract with your mouth closed. It looks like you’ve been caught by a nasty bastard?”

“Still, it’s not an impossible contract, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Well, I can roughly guess what kind of contract it will be. Ask for a human soul or something. We will help you with that later.”

“I cannot answer.”

“haha. This is so much fun. I am afraid of what kind of reward I should give!”

The desired reaction came.

Oren has listed all the things he has lost so far.

All of this was for compensation.

“If it’s not a fair reward, I’ll reconsider my relationship with you guys.”

“Nothing! You are the talent we need. Because of that contract, I will be driving death, and I really want to ask you to be on my side!”

The atmosphere of the guy who smiled and smiled suddenly became serious.

“Of course, that would pay you a reward, provided you brought the ‘thing’.”

Oren took out a piece of the key to Hell from his chest.

“Is this what you guys wanted?”

“Oh oh! you’re right!”

“Just check. If the reward is satisfactory, I intend to hand it over.”

“nice. I respect that thoroughness. I will check in a moment.”

The guy started to check the piece of key in Oren’s hand.

“It seems that the energy inside has weakened a bit, but considering the magic circle, it’s not bad. It is in much better condition than I thought.”

When I got it, there was no energy inside, but now the spirit of death was wriggling inside.

The reason was simple.

‘Safeguards are essential for handing over this dangerous item.’

The inner energy was filled by Oren.

‘Is it true that location can be tracked?’

[Yep! It’s energy from the road of death! Of course it is tracked!]

It could be useful not only for location tracking, but also when the keys were combined later.

‘Because it’s not an energy that humans can handle. I knew you would be fooled.’

He couldn’t even imagine that the energy inside belonged to Oren.

“What price will you give?”

“Hmm. Could you please wait a moment? I am thinking about it.”

It happened because Oren handled things so perfectly. After thinking for a moment, the boy opened his mouth.

“Which one are you comfortable with? Shall we make the stage for you?”

“Think about who you are talking to and speak. I am Killika’s heir.”

“Well, it would be better for Killika to make the stage. Hmmm, this is really annoying. Worrying about the lack of compensation, this happens in all cases.”

It was not unreasonable for the boy to worry.

Depending on this reward, how Oren will move in the future will be determined.

He wanted to pay a big reward, but the problem was that Oren wanted one of them.

“I will hand over the Apostle of Vigilance.”

“Even if you use your terms, I don’t understand.”

“He is the one who was awarded the Gray Mask.”

gray mask.

It was the guy who said he attacked Black.

“There is also responsibility for successive failures. Even if it gets cut off, it won’t be a big deal. The problem is that this is not enough as a reward for what Oren-nim did.”

It was natural.

Handing over a masked guy was just the basics. Considering what Oren did, ‘extra compensation’ was needed.

“After the gray is done, there will be an empty seat. How about sitting there?”

The most wanted reward came out, but don’t ask for it. It’s strange that Oren accepts that.

“What good does that do to me?”

“You can receive a slightly more difficult mission. Of course, the rewards will also increase.”

“You can think of it as an identity card of some sort.”

“ah. You are free to look at it that way. Besides, it’s a really useful artifact, so it’ll be quite helpful.”

Now was your chance to get some information.

I had to look at the liver while pushing and pushing.

“I hate being obligated.”

“ah. Being given a mask doesn’t mean attending meetings or anything like that. As you probably know, we are not an organization that gets to know each other.”

“No obligations?”

“Yes. All you have to do is carry out the assigned mission and collect the reward.”

Being awarded a mask did not make you a member of them.

‘It’s certain that there is a rank among those who have been granted masks.’

For example, mercenaries recruited from outside like Oren and those who serve the old gods are separated.

“You can think of it as a mercenary.”

“That’s right. There will be grades internally, but Mr. Oren will start with a fairly high grade.”

“How do you get the mission?”

“You’ll know that when you wear the mask.”

Oren nodded.

“I will yield one step.”

“thank you. I didn’t expect you to accept this.”

“No thanks. There are conditions.”

“Is that so?”

The boy replied as expected.

“If you succeed in the next mission, I want you to increase the reward.”

“Hoo. Do you mean to make up for the shortfall with the next reward?”

“This is all I can concede. You will know how much I have conceded.”

“I am well aware of that. good. We will take action and send it to you.”

Oren held out his hand.

“haha. A handshake.”

The boy was curiously amused and held Oren’s hand.

“I think we will be a good team.”

“It will depend on the reward.”

“haha. Don’t worry.”

negotiations were established.

“How can I prepare the goods?”

“I plan to create a stage and an event. I want them to be sent as fresh as possible.”

“Hoo. All right.”

After that conversation, the masked man disappeared into the darkness.

* * *

Oren secretly summoned the people. It was a large-scale meeting with Dwarves, the research director, and key figures from Killika.

“I called a large meeting because I have a request for you.”

The reason they came together was simple.

“I would like you to make a hideout for the evil forces in the graves of the ancients.”

The idea was to make the entire stage.

It was enough to stimulate them in bewilderment.

“It’s a messy job dealing with Leone’s enemies. I will finish this before you wake up so that Leone doesn’t move!”

People’s expressions changed when they heard Leon’s story.

“As of current time, the conference room will be designated as a high-security area.”

Oren immediately asked the sage.

“Sage. Do you know that there are people who move in the dark?”

A story like this is really credible only through the mouth of others.

“Huh. Did your heir notice their existence?”
