Price of Management

Now we catch those bastards who haven't earned their reputation yet! Especially now the recession of mercenaries. Would you say no if I recruited you as a knight on good terms? They'll flip their eyes over and try to sign a contract.

I read through the list and found a prominent name.

“Huff!”

I was really frightened. Wherever I looked, it had the name "Patrick Condol" written all over it.

The mercenary king Condol?!

Patrick Condol.

Rumor has it that he came from a family in the Orient Kingdom who was slain for treason. So he hides his identity and acts as a mercenary, realizing his sword's talents and deciding to bet his life on it.

I learned Bressing to invest all the money I earned as a mercenary and started practicing swordsmanship. When the error was supported, my skills increased at a terrifying speed. As a result, at the age of forty, he will become a master and be called "mercenary king."

“Are you sure it's Patrick Condol? ”

I couldn't believe it.

Well, maybe it's Dongmyung. Patrick Condol is not a very unique name.

Patrick Condol, on the list, is only 20 years old now and says he's mid-user.

You're the same age as me. Apparently, from my past life, I was a lot like Condol the mercenary king. Though he may have outlived me because he was a master to come and become young (although I was a normal person for a long time).

If this Patrick Condol really is that mercenary king Condol, I don't want to lose him.

I grabbed an employee of the mercenary guild and asked.

“Do you have a mercenary named Patrick Condol? ”

“Yes, I've been staying at Kingdom Leaden ever since I came back from the Merchant Guild escort before the full moon. ”

“I'd like to meet him. ”

“I'll get it. ”

The staff went out to summon Patrick Condol.

A long time later, the employee appeared with a young man.

The young man with short black hair and a normal size seemed bright and mild, but his body was firm and resilient. There's a lot of touching on the Bastard Sword filled with waist dancing.

“Patrick Condol. ”

Once you're black feet, you're normally the same size as Condol the mercenary king. But we can't be sure because we don't have one or two black hairs.

“Are you from the Kingdom of Orion? You have an accent.”

My question surprised Patrick, then nodded.

“Oh, yeah. You know.”

Okay. Okay.

I'm sure.

The question of whether or not I'm from Orient Kingdom surprised me enough to hide my past. In other words, it is likely that he came from a family that was destroyed for treason, as rumored.

And a Bastard Sword with a waist dance.

The weapon used by the mercenary king Condol was also Bastard Sword.

It is me.

The future mercenary king stood before me as a 20-year-old boy.

At that moment, my head quickly turned around.

Make Patrick a knight.

And Pina learns from her father's side. My father will be fascinated by Patrick's amazing talents.

If Patrick's skill grows so fast that he becomes a master in his previous life, he will have another card to deal with the Horn Empire.

A card with a spleen that you can use to save your brother Rick's life on the bay.

“Are you going to hire me? ”

Patrick's question woke me up quickly.

“Ah. I am Baron Caroc Kunt and an intermediate spirit. I want you to hire a escort to get to Prince Kunt. ”

“Are you an Intermediate Spirit? ”

Surprised face, Patrick.

Patrick opens his mouth for a moment.

“I'll only take 15 Redinas until Lord Kunt arrives. I'm an error-intensive, hands-on person. I've been in wars. I've been in wars. ”

If you try to persuade me to become the First Knight, I'll just have to be suspicious.

Giving a good first impression comes first.

“Fine. If you like, I'll double it when I get there. ”

“Thank you. I'll do my best. ”

Patrick's face brightens.

First impressions are okay.

Now we get to know each other on the way, and we unite, and we say we like it, and we offer to be a knight.

Then I will knight the young man who will be the future mercenary king.

I signed a contract with the mercenary guild staff and entrusted the request to the mercenary guild.

Then you and Patrick take the wagon out of Leaden Castle.

“Boss, the client. ”

“What a nuisance. ”

The hairy man flinches from his bed. Along the side of a large, sturdy woolly ogre, two naked women fall asleep chained to their ankles.

Mack kicks his tongue.

“Boss, client of 5,000 Redinas. Stop hating it.”

“What, what?! ”

The word 5,000 Redinas made me fluffy.

“Five thousand? Where are you lying? ”

“So if you don't want to, quit. ”

“Is it really 5,000? ”

“I know. I'm waiting outside, so get out of here." ”

The hairy man ran away naked, wearing only a pair of shorts.

The old man, who beautifully trimmed his white beard, frowned at the look of such hairy hair.

“Blue Wolf Mercenary...... Are you Dan's Master Berhan? ”

“I'm in. Chief Berhan's right. ”

“I don't know if it's mercenaries or bandits. ”

“Humble yourself.”

Berhan flinches. The old man frowns.

“I have a request. $1,000 up front, $4,000 up front. ”

“Let's just hear the story. Where are you from?”

“Where your lives would flee if you knew. ”

“Tsk, the old man's a pain in the ass. ”

Verhan grumbles with his tongue, making the old man's eyes glow. However, Verhan did not writhe at all.

“Yes, you've come from a great place. What do you want me to do? ”

“I have someone to kill. ”

“Who am I to pay 5,000? ”

“Baron Caroc Kunt. ”

“Who's that? ”

Berhan tilts his head and asks. The ventricular vein next to him shrugs.

“I don't know. I think I've heard it somewhere.... ”

“Who?”

“She is 20 years old. The three sons of the Kunt writer. The baron's title. A short week at the Caroc Merchants Guild. Intermediate Spirit.”

“Aha! The Caroc Merchant Guild! Yeah. I heard you're a merchant who's been touching some money lately! ”

Berhan claps his hands.

“I didn't know the merchant lord there was a Spirit Master. But it's a little dangerous being an Intermediate Spirit. ”

The old man speaks like a nail in Mack's mouth.

“That's why it's 5,000. Or quit, or just pick either one. ”

“Come on, big guy, we need to negotiate a price! Do you have any idea how much money that caroc kunt or whatever god touches? At least a dozen guards! ”

Mack protested, and the old man said,

“You're all alone. If you have an attendant, you'll have to be queek.I can't give you more than 5,000 Redinas. That's how I know. I'm only allowed $5,000. ”

“Yes, 5,000 in all. Let's do that. ”

Berhan opens his mouth.

He rubs his furry beard all over his face and comes at the old man.

“Speaking of which, The down payment should be 3,000 and the down payment is 2,000. ”

“How can I trust you and pay you upfront? ”

“If I eat money and chop it off, all you have to do is slaughter us with a bunch of fancy people who know what it is." ”

“... I like it. ”

“And one more thing. ”

The old man's eyebrows twitched. Berhan chuckles.

“Are you here alone? ”

“... There's a group outside. ”

“Excellent. You'll have to stay with us until we get the money for killing Caroc Kunt or something.“ ”

“What?! How dare these lowly bandits...! ”

As soon as the old man gets angry, Verhan's one-handed cauldron grabs the old man by the throat and flickers up. The old man screams.

“Huff!”

“You old bastard. I don't know who you are, but how am I supposed to know you're gonna pay your bills? Huh?! We won't be the only idiots left until you pretend you don't know! I'll fucking kill you! ”

For a moment, Verhan revealed his rough nature, and the old man became bored with fear.

Berhan throws the old man in one hand at Mac.

“Lock the old man up! And tell that old man out there! 3,000 Redina up front! We'll take the old man! ”

“Deposit!”

Mack lets his men take the stumbling old man.

And two days later.

A group of Blue Wolf mercenaries, also known as the Blue Wolf Bandits, left the stronghold heavily armed.

“Let's go! To make money! Hunt one and you'll get 5,000! ”

At the forefront, he rides a horse and cries out in horror for Battle Axe.
