Chapter 1287

Episode 1288. It’s good that you can’t see the fibula.

Charles Manson, a 7th-circle warlock, responded by gently pushing Larissa’s hand with his finger.

“Ten gold a day is right.”

“You have to pay 100 gold in ten days?”

“Didn’t you ever think that it would be such a difficult task?”

“If it’s difficult, it’s there. Do you think there is anything you can do in the Abyss without risking your life?”

Larissa looked at the old man provocatively.

Requesting through a bar is illegal, so of course it is dangerous.

Even if it was legal, you had to risk your life in the Abyss.

So ten gold a day was a considerable amount.

“You are right. Still, I am willing to pay ten gold.”

Charles Manson looked his mistress right in the eyes.

He had no intention of saving money on assassinating the Grand Master.

After reading the sincerity in the client’s eyes, Larissa took the paper and walked to the wall.

“There will be many mercenaries who want to meet their clients. Should I do it first come first served? Or... if there is a specific standard you want, please let me know.”

“They must be mercenaries who are good at using magic guns.”

“It is an interesting condition. Since the pay is high, many mercenaries must apply.”

“A mercenary group with ten or more gunmen.... You can sign up to three mercenary groups.”

Charles Manson was a little more specific about the number of people.

However, the hostess’ answer was strange.

“I will decide on a first-come, first-served basis.”

“Are you saying there are that many mercenaries with more than 10 musketeers?”

“If you participate in Yeongjijeon, you will learn how to shoot a magic gun. It is not difficult to fill the number of gunmen unless you measure marksmanship separately.”

“Right. If that’s the case, I’d like you to arrange a mercenary group with a magic gun.”

“It’s probably because you don’t have a magic gun, right?”

“Don’t worry about that. The magic gun will be provided by me. What I want is

not someone who knows how to handle a magic gun, but a skilled gunman.”

“aha! all right. But what are you going to do with so many musketeers... Are you even planning to rob a mana stone transport wagon?”

“Heh heh. There must be an idiot who spends thousands of gold to steal mana stones.”

Aside from the labor cost of 10 gold per day, even a magic gun was sold at an unimaginably high price, so it was foolish.

“Oh, I see. I hadn’t thought of a magic gun. By the way, I’m telling you that I’m sorry... Don’t trust the mercenaries too much.”

“What do you mean?”

“I am saying this because it is unlikely that the mercenaries will return the magic gun smoothly after completing the request.”

“If it’s like that, then you don’t have to worry. All you have to do is connect a useful mercenary. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Of course you would. Now, I put it in the middle like this, so I’ll be in touch soon. I wish you good results.”

After attaching the paper, Larissa brushed her hands and went back to her place.

Charles Manson, who was waiting for her to come, spoke in a coy tone.

“Don’t come back at this time in three days. I would like to meet the mercenaries who applied at that time. If the contract is concluded, I will give you more money equal to the amount I gave you today.”

“oh! thank you. The recruitment period is not long... but there are many mercenaries looking for work, so it should go well.”

Larisa put her hands in front of her voluptuous chest and smiled brightly.

***

Great Forest.

Tombstone.

Elio and his party couldn’t leave Tombstone.

It wasn’t because he was buying groceries and supplies he needed in the Abyss.

As I was collecting information on unexplored areas, my schedule was extended.

Surprisingly, there was a lot of information about unexplored areas.

In fact, the frontier area can be said to be saturated.

Elio said while looking at the point floating in the air.

“I think this is the strangest. Look, it’s just a dot in the air. There is nothing behind the dot. It doesn’t seem like magic, how could this be? The funny thing is that if you pass this point, the inside of the Abyss will come out. This is really nonsense.”

“What is nonsense? It’s like a teleport, right? Does teleporting make sense?”

“Oh is that so?”

Elio, who had thin ears, seemed to understand Fabian’s words right away.

Eventually, Elio and the others walked into the black dot one by one.

***

Abyss.

Elio and the others just passed the Exodo in the safe area.

It was not the first time he had set foot in the Abyss, and he had already obtained enough information about unexplored areas from Tombstone.

Elio and the others went straight to Mount Parton, which is to the left of Exo.

The lead was taken by Fabian and Tynlock.

After that, Baron Howard Solon, Crea Elio and Luna Mylus followed.

The rear of the party was still occupied by Count Larva Omar and Holy Knight Almet Hareb.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Mount Parton, Fabian said with a withered face.

“It’s a medicinal herb field, so I put golden lines here and there, right?”

“Then let’s go a different route this time than last time.”

Tynlock boldly left the mountain path and strode into the forest.

Fabian could not object because of what he had said, and kept pace with him.

Elio, who followed, shouted in front.

“no! Leave the good road and why go into the woods! Then what if I step on a Sagittarius Viper!”

Sagittarius Viper is a low-class monster with deadly poison.

Sagittarius Viper, whose head looks like an arrowhead, is a monster that is as fast as light.

An antidote was developed because it was a monster that inhabited the entire Abyss, but it was best not to be bitten as much as possible as the aftereffects lingered for a long time.

However, Fabian was unable to answer as he was busy checking his feet.

As the leader entered the forest, those who followed reluctantly stepped into the forest.

Elio, who was walking mumbling, said to Luna Mylus.

“Still, it’s nice not to see the ugly gold line.”

“You will see a snake instead.”

“Please. If you make footsteps, won’t the snake run away?”

“As with normal snakes, monsters will attack you for invading their territory, right?”

“is it so?”

As if responding to Elio’s words, Fabian screamed from the front.

“evil! what! What hurts so much! I’m bitten! It is the Sagittarius Viper!”

Elio, who followed, hurriedly ran to Fabian.

Fabian, who was chopping up the black snake with his longsword, said with a resentful face.

“This bastard bit me. It’s like a snake that won’t be satisfied even if it’s chewed!”

“Still, you’ve grown a lot? Did you chop up the Sagitta Viper?”

“Now is not the time to talk about swordsmanship. Please give me the antidote.”

“Do you speak confidently like the person who entrusted me with the antidote?”

While grumbling, Elio took out the antidote from Mahadam and handed it to Fabian.

After drinking the antidote, Fabian sighed and said,

“ha! I heard that the aftereffects last for a long time... but I don’t know why this only happens to me.”

“Would you feel relieved if someone else suffered as well?”

“Isn’t that what you mean!”

“The hallucinations and auditory hallucinations last for several days, so make a habit of always checking before doing anything.”

Elio cautioned Fabian.

I’m worried about hallucinations and auditory hallucinations for him, who is good at doing the wrong thing even if he doesn’t.
