Episode 30

I fed Talia a healing potion to wake her up.

After a while, Talia woke up with a refreshed face like someone who had slept well.

“Are you awake?”

“Oh, I think you must have been tired or fell asleep lately. What’s going on, Mr. Ian?”

Talia said, raising her upper body.

“Wilmot has betrayed you.”

“yes?”

“They say they fed us sleeping mushrooms. Maybe they messed with the food.”

“Mushrooms? Ah. So I…”

“And tried to kill us after Talia and the others were asleep.”

“That son of a b*tch, Wilmot! I thought he had a good reputation, though.”

Thalia chewed her lips, revealing her anger.

Then he raised his eyebrows and said what he was thinking.

“But how are we all fine?”

“I took care of everything. Nick didn’t take part in the betrayal, but he got away during the fight.”

At that moment, Talia’s expression changed from anger to confusion.

“Ian-ssi, you said you won against four by yourself?”

“Yes. Here.”

I stepped aside so Talia could check her surroundings.

“Oh my God. What the hell is this…”

under a dim bonfire.

There was blood everywhere.

Limbs or limbs scattered on the floor.

Those who do not even move whether they are dead or alive.

Talia was horrified at the terrible sight.

Talia, who came to her senses after a while, asked me cautiously.

“Mr. Ian. Didn’t you say it was a trinity? No. Before that, Mr. Ian had dinner with us, how did you stay awake?”

‘As expected, I’m asking.’

A question, of course, that anyone would have heard.

I brought out the words I had prepared to clear Talia’s suspicions.

“I didn’t say it because I didn’t want to worry about it. In fact, I was poisoned by the monster and I still had some aftereffects. So I drank the healing potion before dinner without anyone noticing. Then.”

sereung.

I pulled out half of the true silver sword.

Talia recognized the unique glow of gin silver and widened her eyes in surprise.

“Could that be a sword made of true silver?”

I nodded lightly.

Wilmot and his party are old veterans who have fought countless battles with the demon beasts.

It is a very unrealistic story that a warrior of the same class fights alone and wins against such people.

However, the situation is different if there is a true silver sword.

The true silver sword is as strong as the steel sword strengthened by a skilled warrior.

Ordinary steel weapons were cut like rice straw in front of the True Silver Sword.

Talia already knows my martial arts skills through several battles.

If I had fought with a true silver sword, it would have been quite understandable that I had won against Wilmot and the others.

“My uncle is Sir Herbert Robinson, who was a former Marshal of the Black Panther Knights. This black Uncle Herbert gave it to me as a present.”

By now, Sister Eva should have finished spreading rumors about my relationship with Uncle Herbert.

To hide my true powerlessness, I thought exposing the True Silver Sword was the best way.

As far as I know, the true silver sword is worth about 100 gold coins.

Since it is a demon that arouses greed, care must be taken when displaying it.

However, Thalia and the others did not show any greed even after obtaining the magic stone, so they were reliable in that respect.

It could be that he hides his true feelings so that even I don’t notice, but if he goes that deep, he has no choice but to kill Talia and his party and cover their mouths.

‘If I do that, I will become no different from Wilmot.’

To harm a good person for one’s own benefit is an act that is not tolerated by my moral standards.

If I am not proud of myself, I will not be able to achieve the spiritual freedom I seek.

“Ah! That’s why you have such outstanding talent and martial arts skills.”

Talia admired as if she finally understood.

Soon after, she bowed and thanked me.

“Thank you so much. If it wasn’t for Mr. Ian, I would have been dead. And, if I had put my mind to it, I would have been able to keep all the byproducts to myself. I’m so glad I met someone like Mr. Ian. Thank you very much.”

Thalia brought up a sensitive story directly.

Her gratitude was sincere.

“No. We’re colleagues. Then, shall we wake the others?”

“Yes. I’ll do that.”

Talia gave Kate and Alana a healing potion.

After a while, when they woke up, Talia explained what had happened.

After grasping the situation, Kate and Alana expressed their anger at Wilmot and the others and expressed their deep gratitude to me.

Now it’s time to finish the rest.

We went to Wilmot and the others who were lying on the floor.

“Leave that guy to me.”

Kate looked at Roy with a cold expression.

Roy was in a state of fainting, unable to overcome the pain.

Kate woke him up with a relentless kick.

Roy, who came to his senses, recognized Kate and said tearfully.

“Kate… please save me.”

Roy begged for his life.

Kate took out a dagger from her waist and thrust it into Roy’s heart.

“Ouch!”

hooked hooked hooked

Kate stabbed her dagger several times, as if her anger had not subsided.

Peter and Taric were taken care of by Talia and Alana.

One questionable thing was that Wilmot’s head had been shattered, as if someone had hit it with a giant hammer.

‘weird. I remember cutting off limbs. Why did it happen? what about anyway I just want him to die.’

After clearing Wilmot’s party, we took the loot.

The loot was, of course, mine.

When I robbed my belongings, I found about 20 gold coins.

Other than that, I didn’t see anything of value.

I thought about taking off the equipment and selling it, but I decided to throw it away and go, judging that it would be heavy and not worth much money.

3 days later.

We were able to reach Erita at the end of our break time as short as possible.

After passing through the outer wall, Thalia reported the return of the expedition.

More than half of the personnel did not return, but the Mercenary Agency staff did not care at all.

Currently, we are only interested in one thing.

It was focused on disposing of high-level magic stones.

On the way back to Erita, Talia offered to hand over ownership of the magic stone to me.

It was a reward for saving their lives.

But instead of accepting her offer, I made a compromise.

It has already become an empty story, but as Wilmot said in the past, the expedition is a group that shares benefits and losses.

Even if I saved their lives, it doesn’t mean that their contribution to obtaining the magic stone will be lost.

If you belong to a group that does big things, you benefit from just sticking by the side.

However, because of the difference in contribution, I decided to hand over 30% of the magic stone to Talia and the others.

At my suggestion, Talia and the others were delighted with their sincere thanks without a hint of regret.

“Hello, Mr. Ian. Are you here to see the store owner? The store owner is in the study with the customer right now. Wait a moment and I will guide you.”

When I entered Uncle Kit’s shop, I was greeted by a brown-haired female employee I had seen before.

I killed time browsing the by-products in the store.

After a while, 5 mercenaries wearing fancy equipment came down from the second floor.

Judging by the soft silver color flowing through the armor, it seemed that the equipment contained true silver.

‘If you’re wearing equipment like that, you’re at least a mercenary with a silver shield. Uncle Kit is quite resourceful.’

I went into the study under the guidance of a female staff member.

“It’s been a while. Ian. Did you finish the Wonhaeng well?”

“Yes. How’s the old man doing?”

“Thanks to you, I’ve been fine. But who are these beautiful women?”

“These are my colleagues. They decided to do business here in the future.”

Uncle Kit was delighted with my words.

“Oh. Is there anything so nice? Let’s go to sleep. Don’t stand with your legs hurting and sit here.”

We sat around the table with Uncle Kit.

“Yes. What by-products did you bring this time?”

At Uncle Kit’s words, Kate and Alana took the troll’s spine from the bag and put it on.

“Heh heh. Two troll vertebrae for four people. Hasn’t it been about a month since you went hunting?”

“Yes. That’s enough.”

“This is true. The more I look at it, the more amazing it is.

“What do you bring with you? Looking at it earlier, it seems that the silver mercenary came as a guest. Compared to those people, it’s nothing.”

At my words, Uncle Kit shook his head and said.

“Hmm. You’ve just started working as a mercenary. And you’re young. From my point of view, you’ll definitely be a big customer at our store. Anyway, I’ll try to settle the bill.”

Uncle Kit put the troll spine on a scale and weighed it.

The value of the by-product was 11 gold coins and 40 silver coins.

The troll by-products were supposed to be divided evenly, so after tax, each of them returned a little less than two gold coins.

Mr. Kit neatly handed over two gold coins as the purchase price.

“Then, please take good care of me in the future as well. Please take good care of the beautiful women as well. It’s a bit regretful to spend it like this, but there are good tea leaves, so let’s have a cup of warm tea together.”

Uncle Kit seemed to think the deal was over and said with a smile to Thalia and the others.

‘This man is real. When I came alone, they didn’t even give me a glass of water. Still, the calculation was generous, so what?’

Whether it was because of customer management or because he was with women, he was Kitt, who laughed a lot more than usual.

“I’m sorry, but we have business, so it’s going to be difficult to drink tea.”

“Ah. Is that so?

“But you have to go with him to see that business.”

“Me? What happened?”

Uncle Kit looked at me with a bewildered face.

“I have something to be auctioned off at the Mercenary Agency, so I’m going to put you as a middleman.”

To trade by-products, a commercial license issued by the Merchant Guild is required.

Those who violate this rule and conduct illegal transactions will be severely punished by national law.

“Auction. Heh heh. This keeps coming up with surprises. Yes, what kind of item is it?”

“I’ll go to the mercenary office and show it to you.”

Even if the city was safe, it was necessary to be prepared for any unforeseen dangers.

I believe in Uncle Kit, but like Wilmot, people can change in the face of great profit.

It is my theory that there is no good man in the world, although there is only a difference in degree.

People’s minds change according to their interests, so it was necessary to control and adjust the situation so that they could not have other thoughts in the first place.

“Hmm. It has to be worth at least a hundred gold coins to be put up for auction. Did you know?”

Uncle Kit asked me carefully to avoid offending me if I thought I was ignorant of the auction.

It was only natural that I, who had just become a mercenary, couldn’t believe that I had something to put up for auction.

“I’m well aware of it.”

“Heh heh. I know. Where did you find the body of an ogre?”

“You’ll find out when you go.”

Uncle Kit stroked his chin and nodded.

“Okay. I’m not doing this because I doubt you, but because I can’t believe this situation, so don’t misunderstand. Instead, I’ll try my best to get the best price for the item, no matter what it is.”

He said that, but Uncle Kit still had a hint of doubt.

We immediately headed to the Mercenary Office.

Serena was very happy to see me.

But when I saw Talia and her party sticking right next to me, I put on a look of anguish.

I told Serena that I had something to put up for auction and asked to speak with the person in charge.

Serena also confirmed to me by telling me the minimum amount of the auction item, as if she couldn’t believe that I had brought such a great item.

After hearing my confident answer, Serena led us to a room on the second floor.

Take a seat at the table and wait for a while.

A dapper middle-aged man in a robe entered the room.

The middle-aged man at the table opened his mouth in an arrogant manner.

“You want an auction? Let’s see what it is.”

I took out the magic stone from my chest and put it on the table.
