Main Character Hides His Strength

85. Unexpected Transactions (2)

[Curse - Merchant Guild Blacklist Unlisted.]

[From now on, you can trade freely with the Guild members of the Merchant Guild.]

The curse is lifted.

It worked by drawing a dash on the book of the magical League of Merchants Guild itself.

Of course, the absence of one such curse did not change the stats much.

It's not about getting lucky or attractive.

The curse was only a symbol of Kim Sung-cheol's intention to make a deal with the League of Commerce again.

“Thank you so much for your quick determination to show such generosity. ”

In the locker room, only one clerk was accompanied by Horneco and he negotiated with Sung-cheol Kim.

That was a lot of balls.

In fact, there were a few escorts, but Kim Sung-cheol was meaningless in front of the beast, but there was a big difference between actually doing it and not doing it.

“I hear you like the clarity. So let me just give you a quick recap of this requirement. ”

Horneco said the terms first.

Kim Sung-cheol calmly waited for Hornico's words.

If you make a small pun or show such attitude, this negotiation is null and void.

Soon, Hornico opens his mouth.

“My requirements are simple. Please stay at the Nimpane Palace for the full summer. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's face didn't have any feelings.

However, Kim Sung-cheol was slightly surprised by Hornico's suggestion.

What are you up to? ’

It's because the conditions that I never thought of emerged.

Horneco only kept his gaze on the desk floor to consciously show that he would not talk to Sung-cheol Kim.

After a brief silence, Horneko opens his mouth again.

“The reason I'm making these offers is because my current position within the Commercial Union is very unsettling. This didn't happen when the World Congress was built, but it's become famous now, and I'm suffering from severe criticism and political aggression, both inside and out. In fact, I was thinking about giving up my position as governor. Until you came along. ”

“You want to make an enemy out of me? ”

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly opened his mouth.

Horneco, looking at the bottom of his desk, looks up at Sung-chul Kim and nods with a faint smile.

“The crisis on the outside is a huge help to bind the inside. That reputation is already toppling the world, and there's been an infinite amount of looting in the past, and there's only so much I can do around the center of the League of Merchants. ”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't ask about Hornico's situation.

Others know that they're meeting with Hornico.

There would be no current Horneko if we had done such a foolish thing.

‘It's not a bad condition for me. It's annoying for a full day, but it's also something Hornico can see differently depending on what he has to offer me. ’

It's time to pay the price.

Kim Sung-cheol asked Horneco who was staring at the floor.

“What can I get by staying here? ”

“It's the full support of the League of Merchants. My daughter, Oksanna, told me about what you came to ask of Illeboro. ”

Horneco spoke up and raised his head again to look at Kim Sung-cheol.

“You want to reanimate the World Congress? ”

It was a question with many important meanings.

There was no particular reason to stand up and explain, but Kim Sung-cheol said his intentions, thinking it was not bad to share his intentions on this occasion.

“A gathering to resolve the third disaster. There is no other meaning. And I have no intention of being king or patronage. ”

“Whoever becomes king is not important to our merchants. But if there's one thing we want, it's a stable order. To trade with the peace of mind of our children's merchants. ”

Sounds reasonable.

However, Kim Sung-cheol did not fight anymore.

You have to give Horneco his moonshine to know that there's nothing in it for him.

After Kim Sung-cheol was silent, Horneko once again looked at the desk floor with a humble look and gestured to the scribe.

The clerk handed out a document to Hornico, and Hornico reviewed it and gave it back to Kim Sung-cheol.

“I've prepared this. ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the paper that Hornico gave him.

It was an order issued by the Governor of the League of Merchants.

[Deliver the following documents to the designated country as governor of the Commercial Union]

[A message for the king with the crown. Since the founder of the World Congress is holding the first Congress this year, I would like you to attend the Mountain Goat Moon and the meeting of Ixion in the eastern part of the continent before the first full moon rises.]

“I used the document phrase at my own discretion. Let the clerk know if you have anything to estimate or correct. ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the phrase.

I didn't have anything to add or subtract, but I thought it would be a good idea to add some.

Horneko later said.

“In addition, I intend to provide you with a network of the League of Commerce. You know, our trade union network is very useful. And I'm willing to offer you my trade union nationalities. Navigating through foreign airspace without flags can cause a lot of little problems. ”

These are not bad conditions.

“Is this okay? ”

I didn't want anything more as Kim Sung-cheol.

It was a typical example of what the League of Merchants could do to Kim Sung-cheol.

“I think that's enough. ”

When Sung-cheol Kim said that, Horneco placed another prop on his desk.

Kim Sung-cheol, who has not had much of a reaction so far, showed interest for the first time.

It was the Crucifix of the Covenant that Horneco took out.

“There's a long grudge between us. too deep to ignore as if the world had changed. And that's why I prepared this. ”

“There's no room in my heart. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said.

Horneko raised his head and smiled at Kim Sung-cheol.

“You don't have to worry about that. ”

Horneko suddenly grabs the cross.

Kim Sung-cheol watched the scene with a rebellious heart.

‘I wonder if he would do that. Maybe it's a trick. ’

The deception doesn't work on Kim Sung-cheol.

“I declare to the neutral god that I will gladly give my heart to the neutral god if I fail to fulfill the terms and conditions detailed by putting the heart of Eodor Hornico in my hands. ”

Horneco raised the cross of the covenant high while Kim Sung-cheol watched and shoved it straight into his heart.

The Crucifix of the Covenant emits a black light that makes everything opaque, piercing through his clothes and skin, as if it were part of the original Hornico and into his heart.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of this.

‘It's not a trick. I swore a solemn oath in the name of the neutral god. ’

It was an unexpected show.

Kim Sung-cheol, who had the same cross in his heart, knew better than anyone that the price of breaching the contract was immediate death.

Horneco demonstrated that in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

Notice of letter on behalf of Sung-cheol Kim, the provision of information network, and even the nationality period is not necessary.

As long as Horneco is alive, Kim Sung-cheol will be satisfied.

Anyway, Horneco's lifelong pledge played a decisive role in bringing the atmosphere of negotiation to him.

“That's all I'm saying. Is there anything else you'd like to say? ”

Horneko, who holds the cross, no longer looks at the bottom of his desk.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded, feeling that the gaze in his foggy eyes was heavier than he thought.

“As promised, I'll stay on Nimpes' side for a full day. ”

“Excellent. I'm just wondering if I could ask for a little help depending on the judgment. ”

“A little help? ”

“Don't get me wrong, it's not helpless. All we want is a little bit more gesture. ”

I had no intention of following Kim Sung-cheol outside of the contract even though I asked for backup.

“I can help with a threat. ”

“Excellent.”

Horneko started to organize the paperwork in front of him with a smile on his face. The scribe who wrote down the two conversations participated in the theorem.

The conference was about to go dark.

Kim Sung-cheol was curious.

‘That's odd. I thought they would demand the return of the unlimited gold and silver. ’

Half, if not all, of the returns were already prepared.

But Horneko never brought it up. Obviously, it's a greedy story, and it's worth mentioning.

When you think of it that way, Hornico finishes clearing up and asks.

“How are you keeping your unmanned coins? ”

“Moderately.”

It was a little hot, but Kim Sung-cheol replied with a cheeky face.

“You can feel free to use it when this is over. All sanctions and orders regarding unmanned coins will be revoked by my authority. ”

With a bright smile on his face, Horneko leaves the room.

The unexpected contract was concluded in an unexpected form.

*

I was given the time of full moon.

At first, I thought I would renovate Sylphide or send the miniature golems into maintenance.

However, Kim Sung-cheol caught an opportunity in an unexpected place.

That it was released from the Merchants Guild blacklist.

It means that Kim Sung-cheol has opened up the possibilities of various transactions that he never dreamed of.

It was less than half a day after the negotiations between Kim Sung-cheol and Hornico were concluded, and a merchant came to visit Kim Sung-cheol.

It was during the time when Kim Sung-cheol led his cathedral such as Marakia and Bertelkia and strolled through Nimphas' humble garden.

“Hey, look at that. Isn't that your statue? ”

Marrakia points behind the garden, next to a warehouse full of firewood.

There was indeed a statue of Kim Sung-cheol.

Although there were fan marks on the wood for use, Kim Sung-cheol found a knife mark with a clumsy prosecutor on the sculpture's surface.

Next to the wood shed, a middle-aged servant was moving firewood.

Kim Sung-cheol summoned him and pointed to the statue.

“Your Majesty regularly replaces your pieces. Maybe it's an old sculpture. ”

“I see.”

I don't mean to be unreasonable, but I honestly feel bad. One of the traditional ways of cursing is to make a sculpture of someone and treat it with carelessness.

Of course, it is also true that no matter how much you curse in such a small country, you cannot touch the fur of Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol continued walking with a generous mind.

On the other side, a woman stares at this side.

A merchant's clothing is distinct from that of Nimpes' court.

The woman with short hair tied in two prongs and a vibrant atmosphere was more attractive than younger.

‘You must be a merchant of the League of Merchants. ’

Kim Sung-cheol didn't think much of it.

It is no wonder that Nimpes Court is already in the hands of one or two merchants of the Hornico Clan.

It was a short while before I could get past her.

“Hello, Imperial Captain. ”

A young woman spoke to Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol turned his head slightly and stared at the woman.

The blurry blue eyes resemble those seen from somewhere.

“I am Derha, merchant of the League of Merchants. ”

“I never asked you to introduce yourself. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said in a cold tone. Even though he could not utter a word because of the pressure, Dersha smiled brightly, smiling, whether his liver was large or dull.

“You may look like a rookie, but you're dead! I specialize in relay transactions. If there's a middleman from hell, he's talking about Derha. ”

Kim Sung-cheol instantly decided that this young woman was either a very stupid person or a very insensitive person.

“Tell me anything you want to get. We'll get you anything you can from the power of your family! ”

Seeing Kim Sung-cheol continue to send a distress signal and not moving, Marakia said with her wings touching Kim Sung-cheol's back.

“Do you want me to go? I miss fresh livelihoods. ”

“No, you don't have to. ”

Kim Sung-cheol looked at Derha and said in a bold and concise tone.

“Get the writings of the gods. I'll give you a day. ”

“God's writing? What's that?”

“If you do not find it in time, do not appear before me again. ”

I didn't mean it with the expectation of obtaining the true writings of God.

As Sung-cheol Kim, it was just a word to get rid of the annoying general goods merchant who was interrupting the walk.

However, at the end of the day, Kim Sung-cheol heard from a servant that a guest had come to see him.

Kim Sung-cheol, who was making rotten dishes to satisfy Marakia, greeted a annoying guest with a blatant expression of unpleasantness on his face.

“I don't think I'm a woman. ”

So, Kim Sung-cheol put a bag of something in front of Kim Sung-cheol, who put a bunch of crumbs in front of him.

Tuck.

There were dozens of ancient documents in the pouch that could not be counted for years.

Kim Sung-cheol, who picked up one of them, doubted his senses.

All Derha had brought was the writings of a god written by Asin.

“I brought something a little more like it. What do you think? ”

Der watched Sung-cheol Kim, who was amazed, gazing at his eyes and waiting for the answer.

‘This is all God's writing. ’

Kim Sung-cheol, who was feeling God's writings in a frenzy, listened to Derha's voice and looked back at her.

“Don't you... like it? ”

In her question, Kim Sung-cheol raised his thumb and said in a bold tone, reminiscent of the legendary TV ad he saw before coming to the other side.

“Bullshit.”
