Ch 142: Is it free?

Ch 142: Is it free?

It's been a long time since I've visited this house, so I did a little tour of it to find out if everything is still in order.

"The garden looks a little damp..."

Apparently, Erick kept his promise that time I gave him money to contact Alfonso to take care of my house. I bought the house from him, so I'm sure he's someone I trust. Even more so since it was Erick who introduced me to him.Updated chapters at novelhall.com

In the garden, the luminous flowers are slowly growing. Perhaps in a few more days or weeks, they will be able to deliver that characteristic light they show in the labyrinth. I am looking forward to that day.

"There isn't even any grass. The hired staff is doing their job very well"

Since it's like this, I've stopped worrying about the security of this house.

'Everything will be fine even if I don't do anything.'

After returning to my room, I activate the Space Travel magic without a spell in between and travel through it to a certain place I'm quite familiar with.

With hundreds of people still awake and with the torches lit... All this adds a special atmosphere to this place, surrounded by tents of different characteristics.

Of course, I'm referring to the rear army.

Carrying a sword at my waist and without any concealment, I approached the territory we visited today in the afternoon together with the 3 annoying beauties... The Golden Lion guild.

"Sorry to bother you." I approach a knight and say, "Do you know what I have to do to be part of the staff in the war that will be waged against the Red Flag guild?"

After my words, the man looked at me from head to toe and then smiled.

"I don't know, but you can ask the secretary." Saying that, he turned around and walked away without waiting for my answer.

If he thought his attitude would stop me, he was wrong. Heeding his advice, I went to the secretary... By the way, I had to ask several people to find out his exact location.

It is a man with glasses and a thin build who is sitting at a desk full of papers all around him.

"Good evening, I'd like to know-..." He interrupted me.

"Extra staff, right? I've seen many like you... Go ask the supply manager if he can make room for you, though I doubt it..."

With such words, he waved his hand, indicating that I should leave.

"Haa..."

Sighing, I went to the supply attendant. But I also had a hard time finding his whereabouts.

"Extra personnel? I remember that we're up to the allowed limit of members, but go ask the division captain just in case, though I doubt it..." Said the man in charge of supplies.

Emir: "..."

...

"Sorry, there are no more quotas for the war against the Red Flag guild. Next!"

After asking dozens of different people and standing for more than two hours doing different types of queuing, that's the final answer I got from the representative of the second in command.

Emir: "..."

"I see you still have energy to spare, but take my advice." Said the representative with a serious look.

"Haa... Fine, whatever you say. I just came to tell you that the guild master is calling for you."

"I understand. I'll be right over."

With such words, the representative and Leandro took their leave. At the same time that the line in front of the representative was dispatched, no more requests were accepted for today.

Without hesitation, I begin to follow Leandro, trying not to be discovered.

As for his appearance, he is extremely muscular, to the point that it makes you think he uses drugs. If it wasn't for the sword at his waist, anyone would have mistaken him for a bodybuilder!

Once he entered his tent, I waited until no one was around and then approached the entrance.

"Delivery service!"

"Huh? But I haven't ordered anything..."

"Is the Swordsman Leandro here?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Then there is no mistake; I was asked to deliver this item to you. The service is already paid for; all you have to do is sign."

'-Is it free? Well, I lose nothing by accepting it'

Human weakness kicked in when Leandro understood that it was free, and he didn't hesitate to go and open his tent.

When Leandro came out, I showed him the paper.

"Is this where I should sign?"

With a smile from ear to ear, I said, "Activate."

Leandro: "!!!!"

He only managed to open his eyes wide as the parchment was completely consumed, thus activating the hypnosis magic.

With the hypnosis active, he now has lifeless eyes that await my orders.

"For now, let me enter your tent."

"Go ahead; you may come in."

"Thank you."

Inside, I sit quietly in an armchair while he sits on his bed.

'Well now... what should I do with him? If I hypnotize him by asking him to break the contract and not go to war, then some problems will occur since... It is so difficult to break a contract made with a guild. Most likely, they will force him to fulfill it even against his will. So, let's change our perspective... What can I do to make the guild the one who breaks the contract first?'

After thinking for a while, I managed to come up with the answer.

"You just have to be unable to fight!" I happily say.
