Possessing Nothing

“An intermediary guild. ”

I'm asking you a strange question. Rubia mutters.

“Who doesn't know that? ”

He rather chewed the cooked meat while giving noodles. Rubia eats meat metallurgically, making a pointy face.

“I know Erebrisa is the brokerage guild. ”

“… Well. They're a mysterious and bizarre group of things. It doesn't make any sense, actually. The Mercenary Guild is divided into mercenaries and the Wizard Guild is divided into academic factions and towers. That's what most guilds are taking. But not an information guild. ”

I know about that. In terms of information guilds, there are hundreds of them. In particular, there are five or six guilds in the metropolitan area that only handle information. Moreover, it is not just the information guild that handles' information ’. The bandit guilds in the city are also handling information. Among the Moorish factions, several factions such as Open and Hao Moon are also handling information.

“Erebria is extracting information from ‘all’ guilds for different purposes and ideas. And it's not just that. The various trade unions belonging to the Merchant Guild and all goods owned by individual merchants are combined to arrange a transaction. This is impossible for the nobles and kings. ”

Lee Sung-min quietly listened to Rubia. Erebrisa is not just an intermediary guild. It is impossible for kings residing in these massive landmasses to be able to gather and control groups of various personalities like that.

[Violence.]

He said it because he was feeling nauseous.

[The Hereby brokers have the ability to disregard streets and spaces. They are human beings, but never human beings. Power and status are meaningless in the face of astonishing and overwhelming violence. Even if the escorts are on their way, Erebria's agents are the ones who can cut open the space and appear to take their heads.]

“... Why do people with such abilities run brokerage guilds? ”

400 years ago.]

He spit it out.

[This old man was notorious at the time. That's the thing about monsters. Nature brings notoriety. Not all humans have no guilt about eating pigs, but most humans don't feel any guilt about eating pigs. The same is true of monsters.Monsters are inherently vicious and selfish, so they get into a lot of trouble. So did this old man.]

That's why he was subdued. Lee Sung-min recalled the information he received from Nevel. He reigned in the southern region 400 years ago and was revered as a great monster. Being strong is not just about being subjugated. He was subdued because he had committed such an evil act.

[I assure you, there was something stronger than me in Eria at the time. Not even a dragon could defeat this old man!]

I think that's a little over the top. Lee Sung-min had that thought in his heart, but he didn't feel like it.

[By the way, The broker of Erebrisa who came to see this old man... was strong enough that even I could not guarantee an easy victory. They're the brokerage guilds because they want to become members. It's ridiculous. So I asked him why he has such power and is like an intermediary guild, and why he wants to accept me as a member.]

“… So? ”

[Funny thing to say. It's a variable.]

“What's that? ”

[Being itself a variable throughout the world. He basically said he needed to have him to be a member of Erebri. He said that this old man's strength was an offer of membership because he was fulfilling him. In other words, these guys, Erebrisa, they have a support group for variables in the world. I don't know what they're planning to do with him.]

When I first met Erebrisa on Mt. Mesh. Erebria's broker told Lee Sung-min that he lacked 'qualifications'. At the time, Lee Sung-min thought it was simply because it was poor, but it seems that it was not all.

[They're odd. That's why I refused to be a member. I didn't want to have a relationship with people who didn't even know what they were.]

“It's convenient. ”

[Maybe that little girl, too, is a member of Erebria.]

Heju added.

[If you look at the strength and growth, it's enough to be a variable. But... this is a funny thing to say. Why variables? It's not even a predetermined situation. Why is it labeled as a variable? What are the variables for?]

Heju giggles. Lee Sung-min had doubts about it, but there was no way to confirm its authenticity. You ask Nevel, and he doesn't seem to be able to answer.

“You're talking funny. ”

I suddenly heard a voice.

Lee looked at the direction where he heard the sound because he was flabbergasted. Nebel stands in the shade of a tree with a grinning face.

“... I didn't call you. ”

“I'm here to inform you that Selgerus' work is done. ”

“Good timing. ”

Lee looked at Nevel, sucking out the meat oil from his hands.

“What is Erebrisa? ”

“The brokerage guild. … it's hard to tell you anything more. Please understand.”

Although I felt compelled to say it, I felt strongly nudged that I could never tell. He is not a person who will ask questions and get answers.

“You're picky.”

“That said, I swear to God it won't hurt you. Erebrisa is here for you. ”

Neville said so and split the space with his hands. Beyond that stood Selgerus. The cellulose, which was more sinful than before, had dark circles under her eyes, whether fatigue had accumulated, and her cheeks slightly dug in.

“What's wrong with the atmosphere? ”

Selgerus tilts his head and asks. Lee Sung-min doesn't answer, and Neville shrugs. The silent Selgerus grunts for a moment.

“Well, it's none of my business. Everything you ordered is complete. The shape followed the window I made last time. ”

Nebbel moves toward Selgerus and picks up spears and barding. Until just now, I felt confused by doubts about Erebrisa, but I saw Nebbel's window. In Lee Sung-min's mind, such confusion disappeared completely. The spear that Selgerus made had such a strong impression that it would take away Lee Sung-min's gaze and mind.

“Durkon.”

Selgerus opens his mouth.

“It never breaks.... the idiots are talking. That's not true. There's nothing in this world that will never be broken. That doesn't mean the ducks are right. There's not much metal like a duck corn if you look at its sturdiness. It's a duck who has more strength than a dragon's scales or bones. ”

Lee Sung-min took the spear from Nevel. The length was longer than the previous window. It's because he grew bigger than when he received the spear.

‘It's light.'

But I don't feel right. Lee Sung-min grabbed the window and tried to lightly empower her. It doesn't bend. I like the hardness.

“Once completely destroyed, there is no way, but any other damage can be repaired by magical power... so, in your case, by blowing air into the air. You don't have to stand up or repair it. The duck is the duck who buries the ground and doesn't change after a thousand years. ”

“There aren't many artisans who can handle ducks. Only a Dwarf blacksmith can handle a duck, and only a Selgerus with the title of Myster, except a Dwarf. ”

Neville adds, "Even in the open, Selgerus is not proud of himself."

“Then what are you doing? They don't even treat me like a Dark Elf. ”

Rather, after grumbling like that, Selgerus adds.

“The duck accepts magical power and inner aerodynamics like no other than the Misrills. You can feel what it's like to write it yourself. And armor.”

Selgerus reaches out and points to the barding.

“There were quite a few ducks left making spears, so I inserted them around a nucleus with variable magic engraved on the armor. Enough with the overlap, but for most magic, anti-magic should work. But don't trust him too much. It's not anti-magic engraved with enchantments. ”

“Can I ask you for an enchantment? ”

“I didn't do it for a reason. The ducks are superb metals, so they have a higher enchantment difficulty. If it wasn't for the Grand Wizard class, I wouldn't be able to do it. And enchantments degrade the quality of the metal. If the material is about the size of a duck corn, you'd rather lose it by placing an enchantment. ”

Because it was out-of-the-box, Lee Sung-min silently listened to Selgerus. Selgerus heavily exhales and squeezes his temples.

“... I assure you, it's the greatest masterpiece of my blacksmith's life. Material was also the best thing I've ever touched. Nothing's going to break unless you want to fight a dragon. ”

“… Thank you. ”

“No thanks. I didn't name it, so if you want to name it, you name it. I'm tired. I need to get some sleep. ”

Selgerus says so and turns away. Nevel closes the open space and looks back at Lee Sung-min with a smile.

“Do you like it? ”

“Yes.”

“Please do not doubt us. Erebria seeks only your convenience. And…”

Nebbel pauses.

“… I'm your broker, Lee Sung-min. Although I am a member of Erebrisa, in some cases I may have your best interests at heart. ”

Not the kind of question I asked you before. Nevel adds that, then bows his head.

“I look forward to your next call. ”

Nevel leaves that word and disappears. Shortly after Neville's absence, Heju grunts.

[Is he a faggot?]

“What the fuck are you saying...”

Hesitation was so absurd that Lee Sung-min uttered profanity. Hearing that, Heju chuckled.

[Taste is a variety of laws. You don't have a bad face, so you might as well keep that in mind.]

“Don't bullshit me. ”

[Whatever. It's good to have a favorable assistant by your side. He's got a fuzzy attitude, though.]

While listening to the idle murmur, Lee Sung-min tried to wear a barding. Barding around the torso was better to wear than before. By blowing the inner air into it, the barding expands greatly and envelops the entire body of Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min was amazed as he looked at the body covered with barding.

‘At ease.'

The previous barding was not uncomfortable. Even so, there was no choice but to be resistant compared to the naked body that was not wearing anything. But not now. There is little resistance to moving the body. It was not weightless, but if you think about the strength of the rational people, it was good enough.

I try to build a self-defense mechanism there. Kuaa! The self-defense surge suddenly enveloped Lee's entire body. It looked as if a purple flame had consumed the body. Lee was frightened and reduced the output of internal air.

“The internal air is amplified through the duck cones. ”

Rubia quickly opens her mouth.

“That's why the ducks are considered the best materials. Enemies can draw more power with their internal air or with their magic. ”

Definitely. The output was not this strong when I pulled up the self-reinforcement with my previous barding. Lee Sung-min caught the spear. As I squeezed the window tightly and blew the air in, the purple strength immediately covered the entire window. Unlike the barding painted with duck corn, the spear is made of duck corn. Therefore, the efficiency of extracting the strength was much better than the self-strength.

[If you can't be a body, you need the help of a gift.]

Are you making fun of me? ’

[You're so full of character. Are you ashamed to spend money?]

‘I don't think so. ’

[Don't lie to me.]

Heju chuckles and shoots at you.

[What's important about using what you have? Hey, your heart, your armor, your weapon. Everything is yours after all. Don't be so self-centered and silent. Use it well. Well.]

As Heju advised. Lee Sung-min nodded his head without saying a word. I still disliked the black heart that was embedded in my body, but I didn't dislike it. It was true that this heart saved his life and helped him.

‘That's why I need to see Prescan. ’

I try to use it, but I don't know anything.
