Episode 160 Negotiation (2)
There is a strange silence.
If I suddenly shouted, I wonder if it’s manners to ask for the reason, but……
Mr. Yong has just kept his mouth shut since I shouted and held the weight.
‘It makes people feel ashamed.’
It was a car that gradually felt uncomfortable with silence.
“……Why did you suddenly scream?”
The brown-haired Mr. Dragon asks as he erases the Dragon Fear. It’s hard to read emotions because it’s a reptile and eyes, but it seems to be pure curiosity.
Yeah, I was wondering too.
I answered without hesitation.
“I just felt like it. Why is there a problem?”
Barbarian’s own cheat key that can be attached to every action when it’s annoying to explain in detail.
Mr. Yong seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, then smiled.
“No, there’s no problem. As I’ve heard, barbarians are a very interesting race.”
A dignified, dignified voice.
Soon, he waved his hand in the air.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A gust of wind blooms and the mist disappears.
The appearance beyond that was quite different from what I expected.
That’s because there was no one.
I thought the dragons were full of eyes because of the shiny eyes.
When I looked at him with eyes that demanded an explanation, he averted his gaze embarrassedly.
“I’ll tell you in advance. I was against this childish thing.”
“Are you against it?”
“Ah, you say that negotiating is easier when you lose your nerve in the first meeting?”
To put it simply, it means that all eye light was an illusion.
In fact, it was something I could have noticed in advance if I had thought about it carefully. The thing I asked Crovitz the most was ‘keep it a secret’… and
the dragon race is a race with extremely few populations.
According to common sense, there is no way that dozens of people will gather in one place just to pick me.
“Anyway, I’m sorry for you. Tsk, what are you doing that’s a waste of a few pennies?
His voice was still profound, but the way he spoke and the atmosphere he gave off became incomparably lighter than before.
It was acting earlier, is this what you saw?
I think it would work pretty well if it was like this.
Let’s not be discouraged though. Even this appearance could be acting.
“Let’s check first. I am Yandel’s son, Bjorn. Are you the chieftain of the dragon people?”
“Chief… For now, if I put it in your way, it would be. It hasn’t been long since I’ve inherited the position.”
“How long ago?”
I involuntarily tilted my head.
I heard that it was more than 30 years ago that the dragon slayer was cursed after killing the ancient dragon…
“Time is up to those who accept it.” seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Ah, there was a setting that the dragon race had a long lifespan.
In fact, it was not meaningful information in the game, so I forgot it for a while.
Anyway, it’s not important, so let’s get to the point.
“Chief.”
“Feel free to call me Pircearaidormus.”
Is it possible to call it comfortably?
As I was contemplating what to do with my reaction, Mr. Yong chuckled and revealed his pseudonym.
“I was joking. Just call me ‘Lafil’. It’s my second name publicly.”
For reference, the second name is Yongin’s own culture.
Since his true name is so long, he needed a second name for convenience in order to live in the city.
Perhaps ‘Regal Vagos’ is also a much longer real name.
‘Hoo, I’m still glad.’
I let out a silent sigh of relief.
Isn’t that a public place?
It would have been very annoying if I had asked to call out all of that long real name.
“Laphire. If it’s long for you too, sing Yandel or Bjorn, whichever one is easier to pronounce.”
“I like the word Yandel more.”
Anyway, now the name is over.
When I was about to open my mouth, Mr. Yong spoke first.
“Can we see the dragon sword first before we start talking? I heard the whole story through the Church of Leatlas, but I still don’t believe it.”
As soon as I heard it, I laughed bitterly.
I spoke softly, but in reality the content was too explicit.
‘You can’t believe it right in front of your face……’
Well, it’s not like you can’t understand the feeling.
A member of Orculis and a big criminal with a bounty worth hundreds of millions of stones. It must have been difficult for him to understand the explanation that I, a 4th floor explorer, beat him and took his sword.
Fu-wook!
There was no reason to explain everything, so I took out the dragon slayer from my backpack and slammed it on the floor.
‘Oh, it stings.’
I only held it for about 3 seconds, but the skin was already peeling off.
Soon after, Mr. Yong came down from the throne and drew out his sword and held it.
And he muttered in a low voice.
“It was true.”
In that short word, complex emotions were conveyed through the skin.
It’s quite spleen, but it looks lonely, should I say?
Hagiya, when you think about the story behind this sword, you must have a different feeling.
Mr. Yong, who had been standing still holding the sword for a long time, put the sword back in and asked a question.
“…What was he like? Didn’t you meet him most recently? I’d like to hear more about him.”
I talked about what happened that day in a nutshell, excluding the unfavorable parts.
“That’s right. Thank you for telling me that guy went that far. I’ll keep the story that the dragon sword returned as you requested a secret.”
“Were you close with him?”
At my question, Mr. Yong smiled bitterly.
“That guy… is my younger brother.”
“what?”
“So… I couldn’t stop it with my own strength.”
I wanted to talk more and get information about the dragon slayer, but the dragon was not a topic I wanted to mention, so I changed the topic.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t said this yet. Bjorn, son of Yandel. Thank you for returning this sword. Apart from the reward you demand, we will consider you a benefactor.”
I could feel it in his eyes that he wasn’t saying empty words.
Well, I’m confused because it’s a reptile’s eyes, but anyway.
It’s a rather embarrassing situation for me, who made this decision with only the compensation in mind…
‘I don’t think there’s any need to refuse to treat me as a benefactor.’
Then, I decided to ask separately later what kind of benefits are there in being treated as a benefactor.
I focused on the current story.
“So what do you want?”
In fact, this is also the crux of this meeting.
I’ve been thinking a lot in the past.
What do you ask for after returning the dragon sword, which is a weapon made of 6th-level materials and has a meaning similar to that of a holy relic to the dragons?
“What can I give you?”
I asked once.
I think you might have suggestions that might change my mind. Uncle Yong also opened his mouth without worrying about how many preparations he had prepared.
“The first is wealth.”
money.
not bad.
It is one of the three candidates that remained until a final decision was made in the first place.
Considering that all tier 5 weapons start at 100 million units, you will probably be given an amount of money to cover your entire body with higher-level equipment as a reward.
But…
“I don’t need money.”
In response, Mr. Yong made a strange expression.
He didn’t think he would turn down this offer.
“Hmm, maybe it’s because I don’t know how much you are—”
“Again, it’s not money I want.”
It doesn’t matter what the amount is.
It won’t be more expensive than the dragon sword anyway.
Better to get something else.
Perhaps feeling my determination, Mr. Yong brought out the next compensation plan without saying anything more.
“The second is a colleague.”
“colleague?”
“I heard from Lord Crovitz that you’re building a new team.”
“Only the point.”
“I’ll attach one of the clans to you for two years.”
It was a reward I hadn’t even thought of.
Would you give me a colleague as a reward?
I also think that they are a tribe that knows their worth very well.
‘It certainly appeals to me.’
As you can see from the battle with the dragon slayer.
Dragon words make possible what no magician or priest can do.
In addition, the basic stats of the dragon race are high, so they are suitable for close combat, and some special ones can use magic that only humans can use.
But this time, my answer was the same.
“I have already saved all my colleagues.”
As expected, I don’t like receiving compensation for a colleague who will leave after two years. Because what I want in the end is a united team.
“He’s a very pretty kid.”
Well, so what?
As I stared at him with that feeling, Uncle Yong humbly coughed and then opened his mouth again.
“…Then, this is the last proposal.”
“Tell me.”
“I’ll give you the Akje Arms that will be born next year.”
Yes, this is the last one.
It was what I expected in my heart.
Because the relationship between the two is close enough to be Yongin when it comes to the metal called Arc.
Only Yongin can handle Ark.
‘It was a setting that I could make one every year through a ritual.’
In that sense, in fact, this compensation was the most reasonable. Gives an arc-jet longsword that can’t be used, and obtains a usable arc-jet weapon.
It is a business that no one loses.
But…
‘If that was the case, I would have just received it as money.’
This time, my answer was the same.
“That doesn’t seem too bad either.”
Uncle Yong kept his mouth shut, perhaps not knowing that this offer would also be rejected. I can’t seem to think of what to present now…
So I decided to speak first.
“That’s okay, give me a tattoo.”
Words spat out as if it was nothing.
“Tattoo?”
The eyes of Mr. Yong, who had been tilting his head, widened horizontally.
It seems that I realized what he meant after belatedly.
“Are you talking about the dragon’s blessing?”
yes that
When I nodded, Mr. Yong’s eyes changed in an instant.
“Yandel Where the hell did you hear that?”
From now on, it’s real.
***
Dragon’s Blessing.
It is the very thing that raises the dragon tribe to the ranks of scammers along with dragon words.
“The elders were right. You guys are too greedy.”
Mr. Yong erased the smile from his face.
Then, he blew out the Dragon Fear he had deactivated earlier.
“I should have done this a long time ago.”
The air was so heavy that it was difficult to breathe
. I
wonder if it was true that I opposed childish things, the intensity is different from before.
But…
‘It’s not that I can’t stand it.’
This time, it’s the same as before.
It’s
scary enough to make your body tremble?
So what do you mean? As long as
the ancestor spirit is with you, the barbarian will not
lose in the fight. The old man opened his mouth in a daze.
“What is this……”
” Is there
something wrong
?”
But it’s not really because I’m annoyed.
“Whoa……”
Mr. Yong let out a serious expression and sighed deeply
. How about that?”
The carrot was newly handed to me as if I thought it wasn’t going to work with a whip.
By the way, I hate carrots.
“I’ll refuse !”
If your people find out, you’ll be treated as a traitor.”
You’ve already been given an oracle, but you’re not sure what.
“So calm down—”
“Lafil! Aren’t you descendant of the dragon! Don’t be mean and do it! Are you saying you can’t do this even though you’re a benefactor? It’s so mean!”
Ignorance at the negotiating table ‘Do it!’ Mr. Dragon just staring blankly at me, probably the first time I’ve been hit by a tactic.
I aimed at that timing and stabbed my Achilles tendon
. Regal Bagos and I will meet again. A strong evil is connected.”
“…The goddess of the stars? Is that true?”
“I have to become stronger. If I don’t want to lose a colleague to your brother again.”
I thought it was mean, but what can I do?
Originally, negotiations are won by those who can play dirty cards without hesitation.
No.
“Lafir, you said earlier that you couldn’t stop your brother with your own power, right? invest in me I’ll do for you what you couldn’t do.”
I didn’t bother anymore after that line.
Mr. Yong went back to thinking mode and that time was quite long.
“…Maybe this is also my karma. “I’m sure.”
He vomited out like a sigh.
“You mean you’ll do it?
” then call you again It’s not something I can decide on my own.”
If so.
“How long do you think it will take?”
“I don’t know. one month? two months? I’ll answer and let you know as soon as possible.”
“Until then, I have this.”
“Yes.”
A much cooler acceptance than I thought.
Soon after, I pulled out the dragon slasher and put it back in my backpack. In addition, I asked a few questions and concluded the negotiations today.
“It’s a message stone. When I send you a call, then tear up the paper I gave you. Then I’ll know where you are.”
“I see.” Soon after
, Mr. Yong sent me back to the inn room again using space movement-type verbs
. ‘
With that feeling, I was about to take off my equipment and lay down on the bed to rest for a while.
Knock tok.
Knock rang. It
meant a visit from a stranger.
If it was Misha, I would have just opened the door, but if I was carrying a child, it would sound ‘knock-tock-tock’ instead of ‘bang-bang’. “Nice to meet you.
”
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a familiar woman’s face.
“Julian Urbans?”
Commonly known as the daughter of the district chief.
A true idiot who wants her father’s downfall for her free life.
“So did you change your mind? ?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I checked and the team was disbanded. The wizard is also dead. Rotmiller Didn’t he do something?”
Oh, that’s why he came again without getting tired.
Surely it might look like that from the outside.
“It’s not that wizard, it’s Lyall Warb Dwalky. And it’s true that your father played tricks, but Rottmiller didn’t get over it.”
I just pointed out the facts.
But after that, I realized that I needed to solve this problem
. I don’t think Raven will fall for it, but…
if left unattended, it will turn into a more annoying problem
.
“Where is your father now?”
“Oh well. Wouldn’t you be at the main store in District 7 at this time?”
Having obtained only the necessary information for the Lady of Urbans, I issued a congratulatory order.
“You should go back now. and don’t come back It’s not okay to get entangled in your family’s affairs.”
“Yes? What does that mean…”
“It’s literally.”
When he first came to me, I thought he had ill feelings toward me for the prison break. But
now that I think about it, the timing was coincidental.
The cause of the hostile appearance must have been him.
” I heard that we have the same interests?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Soon after I forcibly kicked out the lady of Urbans, I put on the equipment
I
had thrown away.
“Are you going to see your father?”
“Yes. We’ll meet and argue.” “But why
are you carrying
a weapon…”
I tilted my head .
