Chapter 159

Episode 159 Negotiation (1)

Evening of the 17th.

All of the newly formed team had a meeting.

For reference, the meeting place is a 3-story bar that opened a while ago. Originally, we were going to meet at Mr. Bear’s store, but Mr. Bear refused.

That too in a very short time.

[Hmm, our store isn’t good for talking about secrets.]

[It’s okay. Anyway, this time we’ll talk mainly about distribution rather than exploration plans—.]

[Stop it, there’s a place you know, so let’s go there.]

I was thinking of increasing sales at least.

What kind of married man’s habit is to say he hates it even when he hates it?

This guy is really funny too.

“Am I the last one?”

Afterwards, Raven arrived and everyone gathered.

“There’s nothing to be sorry about, so come sit down.”

“You came on time, why am I sorry?”

Uh, that’s the way…….

Why are you so picky today? Ah, is it because of the steamer suppression? First of all, is it a place to meet strangers?

‘He’s really smart in a place like this.’

I thought maybe he had come on time on purpose, but I didn’t bother to say it.

Isn’t that before painting?

“Then let’s briefly introduce each other.”

After that, after ordering a few dishes and drinks, they had time to clear their faces.

The beginning was Einar.

“Pnellin’s second daughter, Einarda! Nice to meet you!”

“Hey Einar? I think it’s too short…”

“Should I do more…? I’m sorry. This is my first time in a position like this…

” Einar scratches his head and feels ashamed at Misha’s point.

However, no one pointed it out.

Yes, Einar is acquainted with the entire team.

I was with Raven in the Bloody Fortress, and Mr. Bear had visited the store a few days ago and opened up his face.

“Mr. Einar… You really are the same.”

“Thank you for the compliment. You seem to be the same wizard.”

“…….”

Anyway, in the end, I introduced myself on behalf of Einar. What level of explorer he is and what role he will play in the team, etc.

“So you’re saying there are two prosecutors?”

After my briefing, Mr. Bear gave a short comment, and I was about to reply.

Einar interrupted as if pointing out an error.

“Urakburak, I’m not a swordsman, I’m a warrior.”

“My name is Urijkfried… no, I told you then, but can you please call me Abman?”

“…I’ll try. Pronunciation is difficult.”

“Is it difficult to pronounce?”

“By the way, is there a problem?”

Mr. Bear seemed to have a lot to say, but he ended the conversation with a deep sigh.

He seems to have slowly learned how to talk to a barbarian.

It’s best not to talk.

“You’re the only one I’ve met for the first time. I’ve heard a lot about this from Bjorn. Abman Urikfried.”

“I’m Arua Raven. You’re a guide, right?”

“Oh, I’m Mischa Karlstein.”

Afterwards, the remaining three people exchanged greetings on their own and exchanged conversations about their respective roles in a professional manner.

With this, half of the first meeting is over.

The dish we ordered came just in time, so we continued our conversation over a meal with alcohol.

“It’s pretty clean here, and the food is delicious.”

“Even if my wife only cooked this much…”

“Is Mr. Urikfried married?”

“Oh, I didn’t say that. It’s been three years now.”

“Bjorn says this is squid. Would you like to try it? The texture is very unique.”

The overall atmosphere of the conversation was friendly.

Until the meal was almost over and the topic of the labyrinth came up.

“Anyway, let’s get to the point now, shall we?”

“Yeah, that’s good. How are you going to distribute Bjorn’s loot?”

When the money problem came to the surface, everyone changed their eyes.

To be precise, except for Einar.

“Can’t we just accept what Bjorn gives us?”

“Einar must be like that. But we’re not like that.”

A wizard who is quick to calculate and Mr. Bear who has a family to protect.

Both were good people in private, but when the time came, they openly defended their rights.

“Even with Misha, it seems that there is a problem with Einar getting the same rate.

“Urakburak…! You were looking at me like that! I believed you!!! I thought you were a valuable comrade—!!!”

“Be quiet. Bjorn will take care of it. Huh? Isn’t it nice?”

“Ugh…!”

Einar trembled at the feeling of betrayal, and Misha, who was next to him, fortunately shut his mouth in time to keep him quiet.

It’s just that being sad like that made it hard for even Mr. Bear to open his mouth a little.

“Hmm…”

Mr. Bear coughed and averted his gaze.

And then, Raven naturally took over the baton and started to appeal to himself.

“I don’t really care whether it’s Mr. Einar or Mr. Karlstein. I’m a wizard first, right?”

“……Tell me.”

“With me, I can put the essence in a test tube and sell it. I’ve learned the ‘upper distortion’, so even if it’s a by-product, it’ll be much easier to get.”

“You mean to raise the distribution?”

“Yes. I should get 30%.”

It’s been tough from the start.

Dwalki accepted the equal distribution with a smile hahahaha.

“……30% is too much.”

“It’s a lot. Seniors say that everyone gets that much.”

Where are you going to catch the hogu?

Certainly, in the Labyrinth, wizards are treated well.

Assuming they are equal to each other.

“Those seniors must have joined a team with a lower level than themselves.”

“Well, are you saying I’m not?”

Since Raven is a 6th grade wizard, he should be treated as a 5th grade explorer.

Considering that Me and Misha are 6th grade and Einar is 7th grade, it is obviously a higher grade.

But…

“That’s it, you’ll find out if you do some exploration.”

I am confident

Regardless of the rating, there will never be a composition where we receive carries unilaterally.

“Isn’t that why you tried to join this team?”

“Well, that’s true.”

Surprisingly, Raven readily admitted it.

But were all these the cornerstones for the next step?

“Still, it’s true that Mr. Karlstein and Mr. Einar are less important than the three of us, right?”

“You’ll be doing your part in no time.”

“Yes. I think so too. A year… no, a few months at the earliest. I’ll be able to make a contribution. But why should I suffer a loss until then?”

Raven suggested that we set the ratio again later, when the two of us can confidently claim our share, and I accepted it to some extent.

“The ratio is the same at 20%. Instead, I give 40% of the special loot acquired through magic.”

“great.”

Limited percentage bonus to magic loot split evenly.

In the end, Raven took the condition that a wizard belonging to a 5-man team normally receives.

Once one is finished.

All that was left was Mr. Bear.

“I’ll take 5% from Einar and give it to you.”

Actually, considering that he is a guide, giving 10% more isn’t enough

, but…

Mr. Bear meekly understood.

In fact, it would be a little awkward for me to claim it proudly.

Although he is a guide, his search ability is zero.

“Then this matter is settled.”

Thus, the final distribution ratio was determined.

me 20%.

Mischa 20%

Einar 15%

Raven 20% (special loot 40%)

Mr. Bear 25%

Oh, for reference, this is limited to regular loot.

It was agreed that whatever was gained by slaying plunderers or otherwise would be divided equally.

‘I’ll die of regret later.’

I think I can understand why the explorers are so hung up on the promotion.

I need to get a 5 star or something.

If all three of us were level 5, I wouldn’t have had to bring up the distribution.

‘……Well, this is within the expected range.’

I took a sip of alcohol and erased my regret.

In my heart, I even thought about the case where the two of us were more greedy, but everyone kept the line.

If I had been on a different team rather than the leader, I would have been much more outspoken about taking advantage.

‘Has the most important hurdle been passed?’

As long as the distribution cost negotiations are over, the creation of the team is almost confirmed. There are still countless issues left to discuss.

“Right, what about the team? When will the team register?”

“I’ll do it tomorrow.”

“Then I can’t go. I wrote a power of attorney because it seemed like this. Please go without me.”

“……That’s right.”

Starting with simple administrative tasks, we had to discuss all sorts of issues together.

“Are you going to collect the money for the team separately? Or just collect what you need at the time?”

“I will do it by collecting a certain amount every month.”

“How much?”

How much do you pay for your team?

If there is a shortage of public funds, how will you make up for it?

Do you use the current distribution fee when entering a crack or finding a mysterious treasure in a labyrinth?

Whether or not to acknowledge what was gained through individual abilities.

Are there any incentives, etc.

‘I didn’t go this far with Team Banpun…’

When I came to my senses, it was just me and Raven who were actively exchanging conversations.

Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Einar fell asleep with his neck bent.

Mr. Bear drank alone, as if enjoying the freedom he hadn’t had in a long time, while Misha was scribbling with a pen in her notebook.

It’s not like taking notes or anything like that…

It’s just a hobby. Have you ever heard that your hands keep itching because you can’t cook?

I started drawing a few days ago.

“……What did you draw?”

“Oh nothing.”

“Oak?”

“Pufuhuh!! That’s right, it’s an orc. Orc. Kkeukkeuk.”

It was an unpleasant reaction, but Raven called me before I had time to ask.

“Hey Mr. Yandel is still talking…”

Oh, that’s right.

I used my head for a few hours, but my concentration is falling. I don’t know if it’s an important topic, but it’s all the more so when I’m deciding on every little thing.

Soon I checked my watch and opened my mouth.

“Raven, let’s just stop here for today.”

“Yes? But there are still things left to organize.”

“……organize?”

“These are the points that need to be addressed before making the team.

When asked how much was left, Raven replied that there were 31 items left.

‘……What I’ve done so far isn’t even half?’

Thinking about the rest of the topics, I was already bored and wanted to die, but due to his personality, these are the parts that would help even a little bit.

“It was too late, though. I’ll meet you next time and do the rest.”

“Okay.”

I made an appointment two days later and left.

For some reason, both physically and mentally, I was exhausted.

I actually thought he had a personality type similar to wizards.

‘… …Seeing the real thing, I can tell for sure.’

It’s good that I chose Barbarian.

***

The morning after the first meeting,

the four of us gathered and visited the Explorers Guild.

Then, we submitted the power of attorney we received yesterday and officially completed the team registration.

“The team’s name is Bjorn. Aren’t you being too insincere?”

Einar muttered disgruntledly, but I just did it as usual.

Team Banpun’s official name was also just ‘Murad’.

Originally, most of them just use the leader’s last name or first name.

“I thought it was appropriate later . Don’t be too disappointed.”

“Ho, can I think about it too?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done.”

“Really! I’ll think about it hard!!”

Even so, I’m sure I’ll forget that it happened in a few hours, but…….

It doesn’t matter if it isn’t.

The team name isn’t important either.

“Abman, what are you going to do?”

“You have to go back to the store. My wife is waiting for me.”

“I see.”

As soon as the team was formed, Mr. Bear left and we had a quick meal outside and returned to the dorm. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Now all three of us live here.

I’m in room 201 and Einar is in room 202. Misha is right across the street, room 207.

“Uh Bjorn. Do you have something in your mailbox?”

“Mail?”

At Misha’s words, I looked inside and found a letter. A letter

with the seal of the Church of

Leatlas.

I quickly went into the room and checked the contents.

But what is this again?

[He will call you.] When I opened it, there was only

one sentence written on it. ‘

What

is it?’

I tilted my head, but the letter turned to ashes in an instant. I’m grateful that you paid attention to security as I asked you

to

… ”

I sat down on the bed and organized my thoughts.

I roughly guessed who the ‘he’ Paar Krovitz was talking about was. He must be the Taegoryong, the leader of the dragon tribe.

But one thing I don’t understand at all.

‘Call me. What?’

It would have been easier to find out if I had just written down the time and place of the meeting, because I was the one who asked to arrange an appointment in the utmost secrecy

. It was the time when

I was lying down on

the bed thinking about that. The

blue magic circle drawn on the wooden

floor

.

It’s not some other world summoning.’

I came to an unfamiliar space.

The place is a building reminiscent of a Greek temple supported by huge pillars.

‘It’s a dragon temple.’

I quickly sorted out the current situation:

‘Is it a space movement-related word? A letter played the role of a medium?’

The situation was roughly grasped.

It wasn’t bad.

It would be easier to maintain security this way.

“I’m not surprised.”

Soon I stared straight ahead.

Scales on the skin and eyes that reminded me of reptiles.

Characteristics of Yongin . A man with all of them was sitting on the throne and looking down at me. For reference, the back of the throne was surrounded by fog, but there were dozens of eye lights shining beyond it. Are they all dragons? Then, how many people did

you

call

? ……with those eyes.’

It conveys a different kind of pressure from killing.

The natural enemy. In other words, the feeling of facing another species that can never be defeated. It

is ‘Dragon Fear’.

If you are a dragon, it is equipped as a passive.

‘Use that on me.’ …….’

I smiled bitterly,

‘ cause I think I know what they mean.

You’re not the first barbarian to visit this place. But…….” ”

…….”

“If you go back alive, you’ll be the first.”

It ‘s a kind of overpowering.

It’s unlikely that a benefactor would steal the dragon slasher without a fair reward, but he must have decided that it was necessary to kill his spirit. Because

I, a barbarian, don’t know what unreasonable demands I might make.

“…….”

Dragon Fear is even stronger . I broke out in a cold sweat.

But what can I say?

I couldn’t grow without incident to the point where my hair turned gray just because I sweated a little bit

.

Thanks to that, it became clear what I had to do right away.

I never dreamed that I’d be doing this before I even made a statement, but……

It would be a way to save time if I told you quickly.

Whether it’s using dragon fear to suppress the steamer or whatever.

“Behel . – Raaaa Ah !! ”

All are in vain.
