Legend

1810 words

The following day the nobles were informed of the story that Ray had received a mock battle.

Some nobles thought that maybe Ray wouldn't get a mock fight... and that's why the rumors that are spreading around the world aren't because Ray is making a fuss about his accomplishments.

But nature and such rumors disappeared when Ray received a mock fight, and the next problem was who could muster how many of them as Ray's mock opponents.

If you are a poor aristocrat, that is a few… In some cases, some say you will leave because you are confident in your power.

Alternatively, some hire adventurers who were unable to save money over the winter.

The latter, in particular, is also a competition between the nobles in terms of how many people can be gathered… and famous masters.

Many adventurers want to test their prowess for themselves if they are informed that they can mock battles with Ray, who has a deep red alias, and many are surprisingly motivated.

In the meantime, Gaiska was meeting with a certain person who was his mansion with Deotres.

Most importantly, Gaiska is sitting in a chair, while a man remains unacceptably seated in a chair.

"So we need to thread the gold?

"That's right. For assassins like you, I'll pay you well enough. So gather all possible armed assassins. However, I don't need as many miscellaneous fish as I can get. Only a few of them are skilled."

In the words of Geiska, who arrogantly tells, the man smiles with a fragrant smile.

"Heh. That's for sure. Come on. Here, it's easy to have a track record of a long time in anesys. As long as you get what you can, you can have as many smart guys as you want. But... how many arms do you want, exactly?

"I told you. He will not thread gold, so he will stand on his arm whenever he can."

"No, but... you know, the one who really stands up, that's how hard it is to pay even a nobleman to hire..."

Assassin... No, I was insulted about money by a man who wasn't even an assassin and had no choice but to use his good offices.

That's how Gaiska understands the man's words in front of her, glaring at the man half-reflexively.

"You insult me!

The man shook his neck sideways, shouting at Geiska with frustration.

"No way. There's no way I would do that to a nobleman. But... well, what can I say, an assassin is a very advanced technician. Naturally, if you are a highly skilled person, you will need to pay a higher fee. If that's the best we can hire right now..."

Saying so, the man turns his gaze to Geiska so that he doesn't get sick.

In tone, he says something mesmerizing, but still, the man was loyal to his job.

Speak of the price of the most expensive person who can be hired in the current situation.

"Eight bare gold coins. … is it easy to prepare?

"Stupid!

To the man's words, Geiska screams without even thinking about it.

But that's not impossible either. If it's eight pieces of light gold, it's not exactly the amount that Geiska is free to pay.

... No, not just Gaiska, not even Gaiska's father, who currently works as the head of the Marquis Seysor family, is such an easy sum to give.

Are you trying to fool yourself?

He was a Gaiska who turned his gaze with that thought, but the man in front of him takes it without the way he cared about that gaze.

An act of lying about Geiska's attitude to the past.

(I guess this is what this guy is all about. To the boy, you're a little loaded)

Deotres stares at each other silently - precisely, Gaiska is the only one staring at them - and I think as we look at them.

This man who came here to negotiate looks like he has a nasty appearance and attitude, but I don't suppose he's actually going to give it up where it matters.

When it comes to negotiating with such opponents, Gaiska is still the only one with a heavy load.

Even Deotres' position is very troubling when he is imitated here like Geiska is having a seizure and bumping into frustration like he is doing to his servants.

"Boy."

"... I know"

Gaiska also had blood on her head for a moment because of the light gold coin, but still remained calm to the point of returning it to me in Deotres' words.

"It's impossible in my position to offer light gold coins."

"Really? Well, eight light gold coins is only the amount you can afford to hire the best skilled assassins you can currently prepare, so you can't help it."

"By the way..."

Deotres opens his mouth when he hears that he is the best handyman and is furiously interested.

But it's not like some of the people I talked to didn't mean to calm Geiska down at all.

"How skilled are the best assassins to hire with eight light gold coins? Can you tell me for your information?

"... Hmm, right. I can't even say who exactly I've killed, but the royalty of a small country, adventurers with aliases, high-ranking adventurers...... the head of a knighthood whose name was spreading to the surrounding countries. That's the place."

He was a man who didn't say his exact name as he put it, but still, if what he was saying was true, he was definitely a very handsome man.

It's not that easy to imitate, even though it's a small country, killing royalty, and it's even easier if it's an adventurer with an alias.

"If that's all you've achieved, don't you understand the price of eight pieces of light gold?... Whatever, boy. If it is financially impossible to hire that assassin..."

"Wait."

Let's hire another assassin.

Geiska blocks Deotres' words from telling him so.

Geiska's gaze is serious...... that's what makes her gaze so strong that if there's pressure on her gaze, she puts a hole in the face of the man who's mediating the assassin.

Initially, I thought that if I could retaliate for the disrespect I did to Ray, that would be fine.

Geiska was annoyed by the presence of Ray, but naturally he gathers information about Ray.

Even if all of that information is not true and only half is true, the power of the being - not power or financial power, but simply physical force - is not an easy substitute for Gaiska to deal with either.

More than that, I had decided that all I could do was precisely really harass... and there came a story about an assassin who had even killed an adventurer with an alias.

I couldn't do better not to get serious with that.

Maybe if some guy really has that much arm, he can kill Ray.

That way you order the assassin to have Ray's magic item... especially the possibility of getting an item box.

Item Box...... Mystering is made unavailable to anyone but Ray, and that's what Ray has publicly stated... maybe that's a lie and other people can use it normally? Some people think.

Or that even if only Ray can really use it, he might be able to use it in the future. And most importantly...

(If Ray disappears, Elaine will be mine. In that case, it will be possible for me to become the head of the Duke of Kelp in the future. I... I deserve that position.)

Once I think of it, I'm deprived of consciousness for the best future for me.

In fact, it's not even used for the calculation of raccoons that I don't take, but Hate and Gaiska couldn't imitate them to turn away from a future that's convenient to me.

Whatever happened, if that's what I can do with my powers, I really thought so.

"The assassin of eight light gold coins... is that really all you have arms for?

"... hey. No doubt about that..."

Neither did the man in the intermediary think Geiska would seriously consider hiring that many assassins, with a surprise look on his face only for a moment.

It was a representation of how shocked Gaiska's words were because it brought so many surprises to a man who should be called Kaiqiyama Thousand.

But even if we hire the most skilled assassins, the amount of eight pieces of light gold naturally becomes a problem.

Not even the head of Geiska's father's Marquis Seysor family can imitate that amount immediately.

If you ask me if I can prepare a Geiska who can't even be a spare named Second Son, who is neither the next principals nor anything... everyone will affirm that I can't do that clearly.

"Boy, what the hell are you going to do with eight pieces of light gold?

"This is a generation bet for me, too. And the odds of winning are limitless"

Geiska trusted to the point of excess that she had a proven track record of killing adventurers with aliases. If you've been through this once, you'll be fine the second time.

However... there are many adventurers with aliases, but there are historical differences among them.

Geiska wasn't that familiar with the adventurer, so she didn't know much about it.

Deotres knew about it as a matter of course, but I don't think he should stop Geiska for his own purposes, so he won't talk.

If the man in the intermediary can also get Geiska to hire an assassin named Eight Light Gold Coins, the amount he can get as a commission will be of great benefit.

As a result, neither Deotres nor the man in the intermediary did any imitation to stop Geiska in pairs.

"But... you know what? This way, I don't have a problem calling the Black Wolf, but if you couldn't actually get that amount together..."

Even this one, I can't guarantee anything. The man in the intermediary tells.

"Black Wolf is the person you should ask for in this request, but for what it's definitely worth, it's pretty tough when it comes to paying. That's what, if you're trying to get a price, it's like turning your fangs on your employer."

It is fear to dwell in the words of an intermediary as to whether something similar has actually happened before.

Even if you've been in conversation with Gaiska before... with those who draw the blood of the Marquis, on the surface, you'll see how afraid you are of that assassin called the Black Wolf, because the intermediary, who never showed how frightened he was from the bottom of his heart, put fear on his expression.

And the fear felt by the man in the intermediary is naturally passed on to Geiska as well.

Sakuraku,. Geiska breathes unexpectedly.

When I gave out eight pieces of light gold, I gave it to my mouth half reflectively, but naturally, I don't have as many ideas as I can do about it.

Still, the desire to kill Ray and make the magic items Ray has his own, to make Elaine his own, and to inherit the Duke of Kelevel family had enough chances for Geiska to place a generation of bets.

... It wasn't actually a win, it was a hopeful observation that I wanted it to happen, but Deotres, who understands it, doesn't say anything for his own convenience, and the guy in the intermediary decides that if he says that Geiska is a Marquis person, he won't be able to do it later, although he won't be able to.

"I don't mind. Was it the black wolf? Call him. However, the first amount I can give you is more than expensive... right. Two bare gold coins. So what do you say the other six get paid for success after work?

"I know what you're trying to say, but I thought it might be a little difficult. I'll talk to you once and for all... until now I've paid everything in full in advance."

"... it's not that easy for me to prepare eight light gold coins. It takes time to prepare it, and it takes time to collect it. There's really no reason to pay in advance in lump sum."

"If you can call me when you have a reward..."

"Then you're not gonna make it!

Geiska screaming irritably.

That is the dangerous path we need to cross in order to prepare the reward of eight pieces of light gold in the present situation.

That was the way I needed to sell the mansion I currently live in and the kind of mines that the Marquis Seysor has.

I also figured out a way to borrow them as collateral, but it is Geiska's expectation that even if you use them as collateral, you can't borrow eight pieces of light gold in debt.

The man in the intermediary, stared at by Geiska, calculates quickly in his head.

I can also say no I really can't do it here.

But then I would definitely buy a grudge from the man in front of me, and most importantly, if I did, I wouldn't make my own money.

If so, should we make some concessions?

That's what I decided… Eventually, I compromised while showing an uncomfortable attitude.
