Chapter 229

Before leaving the guild, I asked Seneran and Asilie to confirm the compensation certificate that the guild leader would write and present.

“Then, let’s try our best for a beneficial relationship in the future.”

I thought it would be fortunate to simply accept it, but there was no variable except for Seneran, who was full of motivation for some reason. Even though the guild leader was beaten when I said I would deal with the thieves, Kunz hesitated and followed me to provide information.

After returning to the inn and sitting in a huddle in Asilie’s room, which was a bit larger than me, and reading the documents he handed over to me, my impressions were simpler than I thought.

“Your sister was right.”

Unmanaged underground aqueduct. The guys were there.

“It’s clear why the city and the guild are naturally collaborating. The underground aqueduct built in ancient times receives a lot of support from the city in the name of maintenance costs, but it’s famous for being responsible and punishing severely in the event of a problem.”

“Chuckling. It must be fun. It’s not a common experience.”

Looking at Rellie, who calmly grasps the situation, and Mr. Gin, who is delighted like a dwarf at the word of an ancient underground waterway, this party is also far from common sense.

This is clearly evidence of corruption that is rampant in the city. Ordinary adventurers would break into a cold sweat just by being involved in it, or wrap their heads around trying to find a way to avoid being silenced. However, Gaendal and Yekatrina were not only showing a cold reaction, and even the Sen party was only closely examining the things they needed to know. Unlike Gaendal’s party, which I thought was a lottery ticket at first, I was able to realize that they were also high-class adventurers who had been rolling over and over for decades.

“Um... Eldmia-sama? At this rate, I think the guild leader will attack us unconditionally. Did you expect that?”

Merdella, who had become less talkative after being together, asked a question for the first time in a long time. Not knowing what she meant, I shrugged my shoulders and answered.

“I’m not a prophet, so how can I predict this? That person was too complacent and made a mistake.”

The Ogatorffs are loyal to the royal family.

I don’t know what kind of cerebral he was spinning, but the moment he saw the words with the Ogatorv family coat of arms, he would have come to his own conclusion that I would report this corruption to the Ogatorv family. If that happens, not only will the bridge he has been working hard to cover up corruption collapse, but he will face a hopeless future in which he can easily jump over 60 gold coins.

There aren’t as many ways to avoid it as you might think. Since destruction cannot be avoided, there is only a handshake left to delay the destruction.

“...Then, by any chance...” ”

Worried that the information about this corruption will be passed on to the Ogatorf family and known to the royal family, so if you hit me in the back? Of course, the guild leader will die.”

Since I was the person who almost died once, I brought out my words very carefully, and when I just said it directly and clearly, other people’s eyes also turned to me. I was rather taken aback by that gaze, but for some reason no one was surprised to hear my words, which were no different from bombshell remarks.

“...If the guild leader stabs me in the back, I’ll roughly take a few assailants as evidence and kill them on the spot. With that in mind from the start, I even hinted at the stable and said as if I was the main one and you guys were separate. He said that If we had a misunderstanding with our intentions even with just a brief conversation, we would treat our relationship as an employer and an employee, so there would be no harm to you guys.

Even though I added a detailed explanation just in case, the response was still lukewarm.

“So, if you don’t want to, wait at the inn. It’ll be annoying in many ways.”

Fearing that it might seem like they were being forced, let’s talk clearly. Everyone nodded their heads coldly and casually continued preparing for the request.

To be honest, I thought that at least one question, “Why the hell are you killing me?” would come out, but everyone accepted it so naturally that I was rather awkward. Even so, it was embarrassing to ask why everyone reacted like that, so I had no choice but to roll my eyes awkwardly. Apart from Sen’s party, I don’t think I’ve ever cried out for my convictions in front of a Gaendal party, so why do I take it for granted...?

My doubts were answered only after Asilier and Seneran safely received the certificate of reparation and heard my story.

“Huh? I’m in a position where I need to collaborate with Eldmia, so I’m helping you, but don’t you guys really need to do that?”

Seneran threw a quick question at me.

n’t know what it will be like... Anyway, so who’s the long- awaited employer...” It stopped suddenly, as if frozen.

“Eldmia Egara is a blue-collar adventurer. Him...”

Gronds El, unable to see the reaction due to his back turned, was about to continue his explanation at a leisurely pace when the man interrupted him and intervened.

“Stop it.”

“Porridge... What did you just say?”

“Quit. No, even if you don’t, I’ll be out of this job.”

The man, who became contemplative in an instant, neatly folded the document envelope and put it on the table as if he had never touched it, and hurriedly began to pack his coat. Stunned by the sudden reaction, Gronzeel raised his voice while grabbing the hem of the man’s clothes without realizing it.

“Are you kidding me? How serious is this...”

“Ibosho Guildmaster. That’s what I’m talking about. Are you sane? You say you’ve been intoxicated with politics in Englem, but you’re not interested in information these days? Touch the guillotine? Envelde. Do you want to look good?”

To be as polite as possible, the man didn’t shake off Gronn’s El’s hand, but he didn’t forcefully avoid his crumpled expression. However, Grondzel’s expression was that he didn’t know what he was talking about, which made him feel a little pity.

The man thought of the friendship he had had and gave him heartfelt advice with a deep sigh.

“Fuck. You’re really lucky. If it wasn’t for me, all the other guys who would’ve been asked for this commission would have died, and you would have died too. I have ears too, so I already heard what you did to this human this time. Fuck, Eldmia might have one ear blocked. I’m angry that you didn’t even come up with your name, but anyway. So, I’ll tell you what you need to do now.”

The man, who had forgotten to even lower his shirt sleeves and put on a coat, put his hand on the shoulder of the dumbfounded Grondzel, looked straight into his eyes and said briefly.

“Fly. I don’t have time to discuss things like this tonight or tomorrow. Jump right now. Don’t think about disposing of anything in this city, and don’t even think about coming back. Just jump out. You can get your assets in the upper bank anyway. That’s it. eat and live.”

“What, what...”

“This human’s long-cherished wish is true. I swear, Eoyoungbuyeong stays and if this human returns after completing the request, you will surely die. Keep in mind, this is the last piece of advice given to us because we’ve been good business partners. really.”

The man did not wait for Gronzuel to understand. As if he wanted to shorten the time he was even in this room, he hurriedly left. As soon as they left the guild leader’s room, the people who had stood there calmly, as if they had no emotions until they left the room after him, questioned the man with a questionable face.

“Captain? Are you okay?”

“what?”

“As for the advice you gave to the guild leader, if you find out that you rejected the request, rumors...”

The man was not angry. It was because I could fully understand the reaction of my subordinates. Instead, he waved his left hand in front of his subordinate’s eyes.

“A little reputation loss is better than losing it. If you intervene, your arm will be cut off, not your head. Us. All. Everything.”

Abnam, who was once a high-ranking adventurer, shuddered in the illusion that his left arm, which had been severed in Ogwen, was experiencing pain. It was only after seeing his reaction that the men were able to recall the experiences and lamentations their captain spoke whenever he was drunk.

‘Doggy West fucking Ogwen fucking Eldmia. Be sure to remember these kids. Even after hearing the name Eldmia Ega, all the bastards who get involved with it know how to die. If you get involved anyway, you’ll end up dying, but fuck you know how to do it!’

The same drunken repertoire that has been around for years. Recalling the incident that remained as a huge trauma in his life, Abnam hurried his steps further.

“Fuck, I haven’t even been to the west since then. It seems like I’m only in the capital, so why are you suddenly coming all the way to the south...”

Please, hoping that the news about yourself doesn’t reach Eldmia’s ears.
