"Good work, Alphonse. Here's your reward for this Vulcan mercenary regiment."
Thank you, Oliver.
There is an army of small nations invading Orient Country.
That information came in, and we were summoned by the Balkan mercenary regiment to intercept it.
They immediately put together a team and the skirmish was over.
The Orient Nation, an urban state, was attacked by several controlled villages in its vicinity.
After a quick recapture, the battle ended without pursuit, and the mercenary regiment turned back.
This has been the way it has been all year.
A small battle will soon be over.
There is no reverse invasion against the attacking opponent, so their role is over in no time.
Honestly, it's boring.
I thought it would be nice if there was a little more flashy fight.
Will the only salvation be that the Orient Nation is paying you well?
In fact, the Orient employs mercenaries in addition to the Balkan mercenary regiment.
Sometimes I went to the same battlefield as a different mercenary group and exchanged information several times.
From what I've heard, some countries may be stepping down payments to mercenary groups.
In the first place, defense alone is not money.
Rather, as long as we don't attack the land, fighting is only about spending money.
Other mercenaries say Orient Country is a good employer these days.
He said that he had succeeded in developing magic equipment that had not been distributed much before, and that the fact that he was making money there led to the good payment of money.
Sure, the magic equipment seems to be making a lot of money.
In other words, Balka Village, which is actually making magic equipment as a subcontractor, is also making quite a lot of money.
Instead of going to battle as a mercenary, it would be more lucrative to focus on making magic tools for it.
This means that they are making more money buying and selling magic equipment from Vulcan villages.
Christina and others have recently begun to say that they don't have to go to battle.
"... you don't have enough rewards?"
"No, that's not true.I've definitely received the price, Oliva. "
"Great. I trust both Senator Banaj and I about the Vulcan Mercenaries.Not only are there Atmos warriors, but they also have a reputation for not doing rough things in the villages that are headed for rescue.That's why I'm the first one to ask for a job, but the rewards aren't very high because of the other mercenaries.... "
"The Barca Mercenaries are well trained.Especially since we don't rob or assault people. "
"That's great. I've always been helpful."
I'll count the rewards from Oliver, and then I'll talk to him.
Some of the other mercenary regiments are said to be able to riot in villages where they went to help.
Especially if they're not happy with the rewards, some of them are going to take the money from the village.
Therefore, the Orient Country was quite concerned about the reputation of the mercenary regiment.
Among them, the Balkan mercenaries were considered honorary students.
Elvis is training me hard every day.
Especially since he is noisy about discipline, he will be dealt with mercilessly if he tries to plunder.
So, because we know that, there's not a single runaway mercenary in the Balkan mercenary regiment so far.
"By the way, can I talk to you a little bit more?"
"Hmm? What's the matter, Oliver?"
"Actually, I did what you asked me to do.The Balkan village now ruled by Alphonse has that Garius, right? "
"Yes, but what happened to Galius?I'll tell you what, I pulled him in, so I can't even tell him to go back to Orient. "
"Oh, no, that's not true.No, it's also a problem that people like Mr. Gallius have been tickling in the ghetto for a long time, and I'd love to come back to Orient and see their arms.No, about Lord Galius' daughter. "
"The daughter of Galius? About Marlon?"
"Yes, that's Marlon, but I've heard that Marlon, who was supposed to be dead, has actually been sleeping with an incurable disease.Rumor has it's recovering now.I wanted to ask you about that. "
Apparently Oliva was more concerned about her daughter Marlon than Galius.
You know that very well.
Or is it an incurable disease?
It was a curse, not a disease, as Norn said, but Oliva and others still see it as a disease.
"Marlon's fine.I'm just not feeling well all the time.We still need to see what happens. "
"No, that's what I wanted to hear.Rather, it's strange how we recovered from incurable disease.Perhaps Balkan village has a secret that can cure the disease? "
"Well, is that so? I mean, why do you care so much about that disease?Is there anyone you know?Someone with the disease. "
"... that's actually true. If there really is a way to cure that incurable disease, please, Alphonse.Would you be so kind as to introduce me to a patient with the disease?Didn't you hear the story of Lord Galius's daughter as she lamented that she had not been cured by any means before?I want to try the treatment.Someone said that and asked me to tell Alphonse that. "
Oliva lowered her head as she said so.
Speaking of which, was Marlon aware that the curse was incurable?
Which means that maybe that person is complaining about the curse.
And one of them is an acquaintance of Oliva, and she asked you to listen to Marlon and tell me that story.
I don't know what to do.
Well, can we just meet?
Maybe if it is a different disease, it may not be cured, but then I should say so.
If Marlon and I are under the same curse, I would like to check it.
I thought so. I accepted Oliver's wish and promised to meet the cursed one.
