Possessing Nothing

Behenger is the closest city to Geneviès, most often the first to arrive when the estramorwn leave Geneviès. Thanks to this, Behenger is big and advanced. When Genavis first summoned the pagans and became accustomed to Eria, Behenger said that the pagans were the place to live in Eria.

‘Guild.' It is a place where the heretics determine directionality to truly live in Eria. If you want to live as a merchant, visit the Merchant Guild. If you want to learn a Blacksmith's skill, visit the Blacksmith's Guild. There are various guilds, but among them, mercenary guilds are places where many foreign dignitaries knock on the door.

The conditions for joining a guild are not too difficult, and once you become a mercenary, you will be able to eat and live.

Therefore, opening the door of the Mercenary Guild was not a great event. Even though it was a boy with a guild of mercenaries in Behenger, it was common in the guild of mercenaries who came through the door.

Only mercenaries who were stationed near the gate are interested in New Face.

“Hey, kid. Can you make a living? ”

“I don't know if I like your face anymore, asshole. You don't even have to feed me. ”

“Go tell your mom to eat! I don't know if you have a mother! ”

The mercenaries chuckle and burst into laughter. Lee Sung-min opened the door without saying anything. Most mercenary guilds do, but the Mercenary Guild on the first floor is also used as a tavern for mercenaries. I've seen some drunks since daylight, but mercenaries are like that.

I earn a day and enjoy a day. The concept of savings is sparse because it is savings. A quest for money forces you to risk your life as if it were natural. No matter how thick you are, if you risk your life over and over again, it will wear you out. A natural, self-rewarding psychology.

I risked my life to survive. I worked hard. If I save and save, I don't know when I'll die. I mean, I spend money. Play.

Lee Sung-min was a mercenary in his past life. I know that the life of a spitting mercenary who blows his diseased legs in broad daylight can be boring. I was familiar with the atmosphere of welcoming and excluding newcomers. It's a good thing the new guy doesn't have much work to do, and if he's good, I envy him. Before being a mercenary, humans were such animals.

Lee Sung-min crossed the hall, ignoring the temptation. The smell of alcohol intensified as I went inside. Some mercenaries were naturally rubbing their chests against the prostitute. They moved violently as if they were showing off their embarrassed hands, and the whores groaned as they skillfully took their hands off.

Lee didn't give them a single glance. The place where Lee Sung-min stopped walking was in front of the bar table. There were well-dressed mercenaries sitting there. But they didn't see reason. I had a drink from the bartender, or I was just talking to the girls.

It was the same for the bartender who did not care about Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min knew who he was. I was here a year later than I had ever been, but the bartender's face remained the same.

“I'm here to be a mercenary. ”

Lee Sung-min opened his mouth. The bartender, who was washing the cup, looked at Lee Sung-min.

“Where did you get your letter of introduction? ”

The bartender was a middle-aged man with a clean face. He was not heavy-bodied, but tall, with thin eyes and sharp eyes. In the bartender's question, Lee Sung-min shakes his head and gives the bartender a look of surprise.

“If you want to be a mercenary, go upstairs. They're accepting applications. ”

The bartender said, he seems to have nothing more to say to the rational man.

Lee Sung-min also knew that he was receiving applications on the second floor. Nevertheless, I talked to the bartender because I wanted to make sure he was impressed.

Bern.

The bartender's name. He was also the guild leader of the Behinger Mercenary Guild. Bern is an excellent wizard.

“Excuse me.”

Lee Sung-min muttered and reached out his hand. He grabs the fork that was on the table. The owner of the fork tried to stop Lee Sung-min, but didn't stop him.

Phew.

Seongmin's fork was covered in purple light. Lee Seong-min gave out a fork with a grave face, and Bern's expression changed.

“Master took a swing. You think he's too funny to be a kid. ”

The mercenary, the owner of the fork, laughs low. Lee knew who he was. A mercenary in the guild of Lud. Behenger Mercenary. He is a free mercenary without any enemies in the mercenary army. Although not from Moorim, he was also a high-powered S-ranking mercenary.

“... were you a Muslim? ”

Bern sighs and mutters. He puts down the glass he was wiping. The mercenaries prowl this way. Lee Seong-min put a fork on the sword, and it was evidence that he was the ultimate warrior who could handle the inner air freely.

“Sit here. ”

Bern points to an empty chair. Lee Sung-min put down his fork and sat down in a chair. Bern stared at Lee Sung-min's face and asked.

“How old are you?"

“I'm 18.”

“A sword at the age of 18. Genius.”

A nearby Ruth giggles and laughs. Rood's sentiment was a common sentiment. It would be enough to call him a genius if he had top-notch skills before his 20s. Of course, Lee Sung-min felt a little bitter about what he said. He knew too well that he was not a genius.

“How long have you been summoned to Eria? ”

“It's been about four years this year. ”

“Four years... It's been a while. I'm surprised I haven't been a mercenary so far. Are you directly from Genevis? ”

“No. It was three years ago that I left Jenavis, and I've been traveling ever since. ”

“Really?"

Bern nods. Information is being exchanged between mercenary guilds anyway. If Bern is willing, it will be easy to find out what he did in Genevis.

“Is there a reason you want to be a mercenary? ”

“It's the easiest, and it's pretty free. ”

“Yes. Mercenaries are free. Especially the higher the grade. ”

Bern replied. He is a low-ranking mercenary and he is continually asked to live with it, but the higher-ranking mercenaries are different. Since the guild also guarantees the cost of living and receives a lot of premium quests, it rarely suffers from money shortage. Unless it's a big luxury.

“It's too late to ask his name. ”

“I'm Lee Sung-min.”

“You must be Muslim.”

“This is a no class. ”

Sung-min replied without hiding. It's because I haven't forgotten that Dox, the Guild Branch Head for the Mercenary Guild in Genevis, saw the identity of the people through artifacts. I didn't want to be suspected of Bern by lying for no reason.

“No class? ”

Bern was surprised by Lee Sung-min's answer. Bern was not the only one surprised. Lud, who was sitting near Lee Sung-min, also surprised the other mercenaries who were listening.

“I can't believe that Noh Classes has mastered the highest level in four years... You're a genius...”

Lud mutters with an unbelievable look on his face. Lee did not respond to Ruth's words. Bern, who was looking at Lee Sung-min, coughed.

“... It's usually judged when recruiting new mercenaries. If you're a master, you don't have to do judgments. ”

Bern mutters as he pulls a bunch of paper out of the inside of the table.

“First… let's fill out a contract. It's customary to assign a Class S mercenary if you're a top dog, but you'll need to check your skills first. ”

“Yes.”

Lee Sung-min filled out the contract, listening to Bern. Bern looks down at Lee, who doesn't ask any other questions. It was not an unreasonable story to come here to become a great mercenary, but I had to be a little suspicious of Lee Sung-min who didn't ask me anything.

I didn't need to ask. Lee knew what mercenaries were doing without even hearing about it. After writing his name at the end of the contract, Sung-min returned the contract he had written to Bern.

“... I can arrange a fine Mercenary Master and Master if you want. ”

Mercenaries are a group of mercenaries belonging to the Mercenary Guild. The Bold Mercenaries have that much power, so some quests may be preempted.

“No, thank you. ”

Rejected. Joining the mercenary army is not just beneficial. Most mercenaries take commissions from their commissions. Of course, that's not a bad thing. Being part of the mercenaries is not a penalty if you give as much as you get paid.

However, if you're as good as Lee, you don't need to be a mercenary. It is freer to be a free mercenary who has only been named Guild than to be a member of the Mercenary Corps and be managed.

“Yes. I like free mercenaries. There's no tiredness in a fight. ”

Ruth smiles and says. Bern no longer suggested that Lee Sung-min refused.

“Have you decided on a place to stay? ”

“No.”

“Then take an empty room on the fourth floor. And I'll send you a quest to verify your skills tomorrow. ”

Do you want something to drink, Bae? Lee asked, but Lee yanked the chair back while shaking his head.

“I'm still young. ”

“That's an interesting answer. ”

Bern smiles bloody. Lee Sung-min went up to the fourth floor, ignoring the gaze of the mercenaries following him. The fourth floor is a private floor where senior mercenaries stay, and he has never spent a night here. I've come several times for cleaning and errands.

The hallway on the fourth floor was a completely different atmosphere than the hallway on the previous floor. Lee Sung-min walked down the hallway with a soft rug and found an empty room. The room with the key is empty, and Seong-min draws the key from the room nearby.

Open the door and come inside to look in the room. The room was spacious, with attached bathrooms and bathrooms, and magical water could always be used to draw hot water. The living room was neither hot nor cold. It's because of the temperature-keeping spell. The beds were large and had empty closets and basic furniture.

Seong-min locked the door.

You will be asked to test your skills tomorrow. I didn't know what kind of quest I was giving, but if I succeed in the quest, Lee will become a Class S mercenary.

“Nevel.”

Lee Sung-min opened his mouth and called for an intermediary from Erebria. Then Nebbel came out of the shadow of Lee Sung-min dressed neatly.

“You wanted to see me?”

Nevel bows his head politely and asks. Lee Sung-min glanced at Nevel's face and asked.

“I heard Erebrissa is also in charge of brokerage for the quest. ”

“As a registered mercenary in the guild, I can only arrange a quest for you. Looking for a quest?”

“No, not yet. Is there a quest for Class S mercenaries? ”

“Of course, there are many customers who are mercenaries among us. Class S quests are the lowest rank we can arrange for you. ”

Neville smiles and replies. Of course I will. Becoming a member of Erebri requires qualifications. Lee Sung-min, who was a top celebrity, could not have become a member of Erebrity without Mesh's recommendation. It means that a mercenary who is a member of Erebri Company is a mercenary of Class S or higher.

SS-class, SS-class... monsters. ’

Class S is only the minimum rating for the highest achiever. It also ranks up according to their skills and performance. However, the limit is SS class. SSS-grade mercenaries are superhumans who have surpassed their peak levels and reached new heights.

Throughout his previous experience, there were only three SSS-class mercenaries that Lee remembered. Is it possible to get there? Lee Sung-min clenched his fist in the question that came to mind.

“Thank you for answering. ”

“You're welcome. Call me anytime."

Neville disappears, leaving a note behind. Seong-min sat on the bed and thought. This is why I didn't join the mercenaries. Lee Sung-min, a member of Erebria, can receive advanced quests at any time through their intermediary.

‘Half a year from now. ’

As a mercenary, Lee Sung-min was determined to work hard as a mercenary. First, you will successfully complete tomorrow's Skill Verification Quest, then perform the Advanced Quest through Erebri. If you raise your name in that way and build up your performance, you will be able to ascend to SS class.

But first...

After half a year, you should get Barding from the Black Wizard Dungeon Subjugation Quest.
