00729 Flowers Blooming in Blood.
Year 4.
People tend to feel uncomfortable about the number 4. I don't know why. But maybe just as you think of 7 as a Lucky number, 4 is related to death. Anyway, I don't personally dislike the number 4, no matter what the general notion. An's sister grumbled for no reason when she got into the car for 4 years, but I felt similar to what I expected. because so far, good and bad things have happened in succession.
When I think about it, it seemed to have been quite pleasant in the first year. No, should I say I wasn't worried? After all, it was a time of rising like a storm when we swept through ruins and created a clan. By the end of the first year, there was a sudden war. If the second year had another major growth around the money market, there would have been many difficulties in the third year, such as dizziness within the clan or attacking the Steel Mountains.
So I'm looking forward to the fourth year. Very sadly, the dizziness caused by the sudden change in grading agents began to show signs of gradual settling. Could four years of driving this momentum be spent in the same way it was in the first and second years?
... Of course, there's no basis for it.
I just knew quietly that I had been on the train for four years. Anybody can be in the first place, but it's not a big deal.
However, the clan members came to see me and lightly congratulated me. (I think one of An-hyun or An-sol was talking.)
In the meantime, Ko Yong said something a bit unexpected.
“Darling? Why don't we have a festival in a long time? ”
“Moon…. No, the festival? What festival all of a sudden? ”
“Not all of a sudden. But we've been celebrating once a year, haven't we? ”
“Hmm.”
“Oh, don't be so hard on yourself. It's a nice vibe, isn't it? And you've been so pushy lately. ”
“… good. ”
At first I tilted my head, but I continued to persuade myself. Rather than reluctantly agreeing, there is a common sense in classicism. So far, I've been flogging you, and now it's time to give you a carrot. It wasn't like I had nothing to celebrate. No, it was more of a cold season.
Letting me do that, Yeon-ju smiled and frowned.
“Great. It's an event at the festival. Right?"
“The right line would be fine. Anyway, take care of it. ”
*
The festival was held sooner than I thought. I don't know how it went without much attention, but I heard the clan members responded more vigorously than they could ever imagine. One of the clans welcomed you with a pair of doubles, so I'm sure you haven't had much of a break lately. High-rolling gave me good advice at the right time.
By this time around noon, it was reported that the whole office had gathered and that the festival had just begun.
Soon after going down to the first floor, I was greatly surprised to see how spectacular the central square had become.
The Central Plaza is used for a number of purposes, in addition to shelters and connecting passages. There were over 100 people coming and going in the large circular space, but it was still spacious enough to spare. The beautifully decorated crystal sphere on the wall flashed a bright light, and on one side was a long table covered with white cloth with delicious food or liquor.
The same was true of the clans. They appeared almost comfortable and spread to the central square, pushing a cart of food and liquor between them. It was not a town festival that I had been having, but a banquet in a similar royal palace.
After a while.
The clans noticed that I was entering, but I shook my hands lightly. It's because I wanted to continue this good atmosphere. It meant that we should continue to eat, drink and talk excitedly. It was a festival I was supposed to enjoy anyway, and I didn't want to say anything unfamiliar. For example, "Let's all be strong! To" or "or." ’Maybe.
Understanding my intentions, as soon as I sat down in the chair, some clans quickly began to act. Vivian showed a strategic move that summoned the entire garrison. I let the confused horses hold the bowl one by one, and then I start shooting through the tables where the food is. I looked at it in a pathetic mood, and slowly turned my gaze and began to observe.
There is definitely a primary purpose for enjoying the festival. But at least it was another opportunity for me. So it's a chance to check on the Clan's status. To be precise, we usually know the relationships between clans. It's not uncommon to see this spontaneously at first sight.
So, I decided to look for four new people. They have already been recognized as members of the Mercenary Clan. Only grading remained, and it was officially approved in the meeting room the other day.
First of all, Hae Seung Woo was very sociable. I'm still smiling, slamming the cup with Seon Yoon, Friend. They are not the easiest type to get along with, but I definitely think one act is great. I have to continue acting like that.
Next, Seung Yoon was a little strange. With a face full of reminders, he sighs and exhales, chasing someone around like he's been seduced. So I followed the classics, followed the rest, followed Im Hana, followed the costumes. And then all of a sudden, he raises his hands and says, "This is heaven! and say,” Oh, my God. Though it seems silly all of a sudden, I decided to turn it off, thinking it's not that weird after all. Let's go see Sarah this time, shall we?
It was then.
“Hey!"
While I was observing slowly, a sudden loud shout rang in my ears. The moment I turned my reflective gaze, I suddenly had a feeling of curiosity.
Suddenly, Sarah was having an argument with Vivian.
“I told you I had it first! ”
Is nothing so unfair? Vivian was screaming at the whale with her axe eyes wide open, almost like it was eating.
“I saw it first! But you took it from me! ”
“Wha?”
However, Sarah smiled calmly, holding a bowl of food in one hand. Completely the opposite of Vivian.
“Oh, just give me the bowl! Do you know how much I love that? I mean, you can't eat in a restaurant! ”
“Wha?”
I shrug my shoulders and shake my elongated head as if I didn't know what I was talking about.
“Oh, shit! It's not working! So what do you guys call this? Swordsmanship! Yes! You did a very bad thing to tell me to cut it off! Bird, chic, chi! ”
“Bud Touch? ”
…….
… Suddenly, Sarah's aura felt natural somewhere.
“Mr. Mercenary Lord? Excuse me for a moment."
While Vivian screams so heavily, a servant approaches cautiously. I put a bowl of delicious food in front of the person who introduced it as "The Chef's Own." Suddenly, an idea hit my head.
“Are those two fighting over this food? ”
“Yes? Ah... Yes.”
The servant smiles bitterly and nods. He added that there were few ingredients with raw materials, and he couldn't make much because it was so handy. I was only able to understand the situation somewhat. I think I left the leftovers on the table, except for what I had to eat, but they were very small. Yeah, I was wondering why you ran off like that.
“Huh? Eat? Do you want some? ”
The shout was rising at a moment's notice. No. When Sarah decided to take the pill with her bare hands, Vivian finally burst into tears. I pushed out the bowl and asked her to shut me up. The servant chuckles and turns away. Within five seconds, the sound of Vivian's tears fades like a lie.
“Blacky... ”
“... Shut up. ”
“Th-thank you... Just like you... ”
“ ……. ”
Vivian, who received the bowl, looked at me with a wide gaze.... that guy. I knew you had a strong appetite, but this is really... How fantastic is cooking, by the way? I sighed and trembled, and soon the observation resumed.
And after the last check of Elizabeth, I slowly got up and walked to the square. The name is Clan Road, because you can't just sit there. Of course, I treat the clan members who walk in the middle, but I don't forget to observe.
If there was one thing that caught my mind while enjoying the festival so personally, it was the reason. It was not that I did not attend the festival. However, in the old days, I would have been as chatty as anyone, but today I just sat quietly in one corner with my head down. Even Ahn's sister or Im Hana approached because she couldn't sleep, but she didn't see any reaction.
He's not a first-year chick, and I don't think he'll like it very much. I watched Mar and the two receipts running around smiling nervously.
Meanwhile, the calm sky slowly washed into a dark light. As time went by, I could feel the atmosphere of the square gradually fading. Now that everyone had eaten and drank, it was time for an interesting spectacle to appear.
The moment I thought that, unfortunately, a high performer came and asked me if I could start the event.
An event is defined as determining the ranking of 4 new joiners. The rules are simple: create a place in the middle and lightly engage new clans and existing clans. Opponents are improvised here and are ranked based on their rank and the combat content of new clans. Of course, I'm the judge.
At first, I thought this could be an event, but as long as it's not a battle of life and death, I approve it. I saw the quality of a concierge, and I actually didn't find anything as interesting as watching a fight.
As a result, there are two people attending this event. For the two, Hae Seung Woo has declared a waiver (in this case it will automatically be on the F list).), because Elizabeth is said to be a non-combat user. In the end, only Sarah and Seungyun participated before the grading decision.
After a while.
The clans begin to move as the noise in the plaza subsides. As we retreat toward the wall and clear a space, the blonde woman slowly walks out to the center. Maybe Sarah came out as the first batsman.
- All right, everybody just shut up. Clan Lord has given his permission, so let's get started.
The proceedings of the event were decided by the classical musician. Look around while speaking in an amplified voice. I left the festival at the beginning and end anyway (I left it all behind), so I sat comfortably on my back. And I swirled around somewhere and gently touched the belly of baby Pegasus, who was puffed up, which lay flat on my knees. He must have eaten a lot to breathe out. You've gained weight.
- Who wants to spar with user Sarah Jane in wizard class?
“Me!”
As soon as the horse is finished, someone raises their hand. Seeing who's so good at chopping, he smiles refreshingly with a slightly reddish seaweed in his hand.
… No, wait. Is that crazy?
- Huh? User My Straw...?
“Dismissed!”
I shouted in a hurry. Jegal's seaweed gives a grumpy glow, but he lowers his hand calmly once his eyes widen. It's been a while since I've seen an Authentic Wizard. Did he intend to trample it down?
- Yeah, but his name is before the ratings. I don't think it's a little bit of a hash bowl since it's still the 0th year. Anybody else?
“Do you mind if I do? ”
Luckily, Jeongyeon stepped forward this time. When the high notes turn, I nod my head to say yes. With the exception of the main attribute, a wizard of similar nature will be a good battle.
Soon, Jung Yeon and Sarah stood face to face, with interesting eyes pouring out from all sides.
Give each other a simple hello and count the high performers.
- Three, two, one, zero!
And the sparring duel didn't take long as the goal was to test his skills. The result is a winning streak.
It was a premeditated result. She was certainly a strong wizard, but she was also a skilled user of authentic magic. That's it. You can't lose because your secret class has high magical abilities. Plus, with the right magic combination, she was able to counteract all attacks, and there was no way Sarah could pull it off.
But Sarah has certainly succeeded in appealing to herself with her ability to transcend her destiny and her fancy fire magic. I scored a high score against Jung Yeon, and I finally gave it a C rating. It was the highest grade I could get as a new person.
While everyone was applauding, after Sarah stepped back to half of her surprise, the second batsman, Ha Seung Yun, walked out to the center. I heard that he was waiting for the event today, so he wasn't that drunk. The color of Heleleh is everywhere and her eyes are full of confidence. Twitching with your hands on your waist already, you seem anxious to quickly prove your skills.
- You were a mercenary, weren't you? Then, among the mercenary classes...
At that moment, the higher-performing player who had been familiar with the event suddenly blurred his words. He looks like he made a mistake. There's only one Mercenary Clan in the mercenary class. And that one person is now...
- Mm-hmm, I'll fix it. Even if it's not the same mercenary, if it's a melee class....
And I tried to change the words immediately, but she didn't finish the sentence this time.
Because.
“ ……. ”
The reason I've been sitting in the corner so far was because I was slowly raising myself up.
Soon, my head slowly rises.

Whew. Almost done by morning.
I think I need to get some sleep. I'm glad it's the weekend. Haha.
All readers, start your day with a great feeling.:)
