Episode 1284. protection fee?
The Akerio Mercenary Corps is a fairly well-known mid-level mercenary group in the Southern Kingdom.
Urrea, the leader, is a baron of the Kingdom of Alvaros and has served as the vice-captain of the Royal Palace Knights.
After being stripped of his title for smuggling a magic gun belonging to the Knights, he crossed over to Bostania and created the Acherio Mercenary Corps.
Originally, if you were guilty of that level, you should rot in a dungeon for the rest of your life, but there are unbelievable rumors that you spent money to get rid of your title.
Anyway, after he founded the mercenary group, he worked hard to grow it.
At the same time, he did not neglect swordsmanship training.
This is because it is a common sentiment to see the mercenary leader’s skills and entrust him with a request.
Having risen to the rank of Sword Expert, he recruited the wandering sword expert Bleck as the vice-captain.
After that, it really ran on the road to success.
The vice-captain had several accidents over women, but that was not an incident in the mercenary world.
Until now.
‘what?’
Urea did not realize the situation she was in.
A plain-looking young man appeared in front of me, and paralysis came to my body.
It’s not just you.
The vice-captain, Bleck, was also just blinking like himself.
I tried my best, but I couldn’t move a finger.
I was so surprised by what I was experiencing for the first time that my heart pounded and my breath came fast.
“ha! ha! ha!”
A young man’s voice came to his ears as he gasped.
“Hey, calm down. then i will die Are you a sparrow? Why are you so impatient?”
At those words, Urea forced herself to calm down.
It’s not like it’s not, but I felt like I couldn’t breathe when I was relaxed.
But when it comes to thinking, is that life!
In the end, Urea couldn’t breathe properly and started to groan.
Elio, who was looking at him with a sullen face, slapped Urea in the ear.
‘slam!’ With a crackling sound, Urea’s face turned around.
Is it because of external shocks?
Urea, who had only been groaning, exhaled and inhaled slowly.
At that moment, ghouls and red-skinned elder ghouls pushed the wagon.
“Big!”
“Kurrureu!”
The eyes of Captain Urrea and Vice-Captain Bleck turned to the elder ghoul.
It’s when the two of you think to yourself, “It’s over.”
“Fabian Howard Crea takes care of the ghouls and Sir Omar takes care of the red ones.”
Along with the horse, Elio pulled out his longsword and threw it straight ahead.
Wedge liquid-!
The longsword flew with a blast and pierced the chest of an elder ghoul before it soared into the sky.
Eventually, the longsword rotated in a gentle semicircle, piercing the chest of another elder ghoul and returning to Elio’s hand.
The two elder ghouls, with holes in their chests, stumbled and took a few steps before collapsing.
“Is this enough?”
Count Larva Omar nodded lightly and ran away like the wind.
A blue beam of light shot out from his longsword, which he drew vigorously.
Ugh-!
It is the mana blade that is said to be the exclusive property of sword masters.
Seeing this, Captain Urea and Vice-Captain Bleck widened their eyes.
He was dumbfounded because he couldn’t understand the young man’s bizarre swordsmanship, but Mana Blade was different.
I couldn’t even recognize the sword master even though I was close by!
The two stared at the back of the sword master, forgetting to breathe.
Before long, Count Omar of Larva and the elder ghouls confronted each other.
Larva Count Omar’s mana blade cut through the elder ghoul’s body like a flash war.
The elder ghoul’s skin was said to be as hard as steel, but
he was helpless in front of the mana blade.
Awesome! squeak-!
Both arms were cut off, but the elder ghoul opened its mouth to bite Count Omar of Larva.
“Kyaa-!”
Vice-captain Bleck kept his mouth shut at the young man’s words.
Seeing the list of words the captain used, it was clear that he had really heard them.
Thinking that far, he prostrated himself in front of the young man.
“Forgive me! From what you’ve said, it certainly seems like that happened! But even then I just listened to what the captain had to say! I swear this is a decision made by the captain alone!”
“Hey, look at this hair. In the midst of this, it seems that something like that happened. You kicked your last chance yourself.”
“Okay, I was wrong!”
Belatedly, vice-captain Bleck put his head on the ground and begged.
Elio, who was looking down indifferently, kicked the vice-captain’s side with his foot.
“Ugh!”
Vice-captain Bleck rolled sideways with a heavy moan.
When his body stopped, vice-captain Bleck hurriedly crawled in front of the young man.
And just as he was about to put his head on the ground again, Elio said.
“I will forgive you, so disappear from my sight.”
“yes?”
Vice-captain Bleck raised his head.
“Get out of here.”
“Are you saying I’m going alone?”
“uh. go fast If you make it speak twice, I will throw it as food for the ghouls.”
“Thank you! thank you!”
Vice-captain Bleck stood up from his seat and bowed his head several times.
“Go quickly before you change your mind.”
“Yes yes.”
Vice-captain Bleck left as if running away without looking back.
Looking at the vice-captain who was walking away, Fabian said with a sad face.
“To think you let go of a guy like that... has changed a lot?”
“Who just let me go? He will soon lose the blessing of mana.”
“ah! Did you put a spirit in it?”
“of course. He’s a waste of energy, so he injected only a small amount, so his mana will slowly dry up like a dike with a hole.”
“Good job.”
Elio, who had a smug expression at Fabian’s praise, soon turned to the leader.
“Did you say Urea?”
“yes.”
“I was lucky this time. If you were talking nonsense, you would be in the same position as the vice-captain.”
“thank you!”
“It’s still too early to say thank you. You don’t think it’s going to go on like this, do you?”
“If you forgive me, I will do anything you ask.”
“You said you would protect us, right? Even EXO protects us.”
“Yes yes. I will.”
Director Urrea answered without hesitation.
Even though it was a wave situation, there was nothing dangerous because EXO was also on the way in seven days, and there was even a sword master among them.
However, Captain Urea flinched at the young man’s words.
“But if we need to protect you, like now... you’ll have to pay us a fair price for it, right? Like a protection fee, for example. what do you think about it?”
“A protection fee? It’s all natural. I’ll give it to you.”
“Each time, pay the mercenary guild standard protection fee. You know I cheated on the cost, right? Like the vice-captain, there will be a hole in the mana hole.”
“I’ll settle it according to the standard! By the way...”
Captain Urea was speechless.
It was because of the thought that if that was the calculation method, they would not have to receive protection money.
“But what?”
Elio stared at Captain Urrea with indifferent eyes.
Urea was trembling, but she mustered up courage because the mercenary group could be ruined.
“Our Akerio mercenary corps... won’t Gulp protect you all?”
“so?”
As Elio repeated his question, Fabian interrupted.
“They seem to want to be paid for the protection fee, too. By Mercenary Guild standards.”
“It is not. We didn’t want to, but they said they would unilaterally protect us. is not it? Mr. Urea? Did I make up a sound that doesn’t exist now? Or did you just mess around for a while and make the sound of a dog grazing? Which one? If you have a mouth, say something!”
To Elio’s fiery shouts, Captain Urea responded with a crawling sound.
“I was stumped for a while. I forgot to say that we would protect them. We will do our best to serve even EXO.”
