Price of Management

< -- 123 times: volume 5 - chapter 7. Negotiation initiated-->.

Earl Raymond and Duke Britain meet on their way out of the Orient Palace.

“Come back when you have a chance. I really want to study animosity personally. ”

“I will, my lord. ”

“The Duke of Britain welcomes you, too. ”

“It's an honor, Duke. ”

I politely greeted the two of you.

Oh my... The Great Wizard and the Master's escort are upon us!

I realized that I had just become a superior spirit who could stand against them.

So I climbed into the wagon with Patrick and left the palace.

He steps into the street, hurting a crowd like an egg, and heads for the west gate.

Hadin will be waiting for you at the western gate.

And maybe, just maybe, Richard Buck is waiting. His attitude yesterday is very unlikely.

But my expectations have been shattered.

There was only one person waiting for me at the west gate.

It was Hardin, a young man of modest stature and very good impression for a mercenary.

I opened the wagon door and waved my hands.

“Hardin, this way! ”

“Oh, yes! ”

Hadin runs coldly and climbs into the wagon.

“Please take good care of him, Baron. ”

“Haha, this is it. ”

What can I do for you? He'll be a knight of our family, not me anyway.

Tsk.

I'm sorry to think of it this way. I knew my skills would grow to the next level of Expert, but I had to hand them over to my father and Arthur!

I felt sorry for Patrick sitting next to me.

Yeah, I got the mercenary king condole. If you get greedy, you'll be punished.

Cancer.

Patrick tilts his head, not knowing the English language when I look at him.

It was not easy to get out of the gate.

There were too many people who left the castle as the best metropolis on the continent.

Due to this, over a hundred soldiers have been mobilized for the inspection, but there is no sign of any decline in the number of stretches.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the wagon right behind us.

“Why did you open the wagon door so carelessly? How rude! ”

“I'm sorry. ”

“Oh, my God! ”

The apologizing man's middle voice is familiar to my ears.

Soon.

Gurgle!

Someone opens the door of the wagon we were riding on and flips over.

Our gaze is drawn to the man who opened the carriage door without knocking.

He's in his early 30s, jewelry over 6 '3 ", a big beard, and a cool, manly face.

I opened my eyes wide.

“Huh?"

“There you are! ”

Richard Buck climbs into the wagon and sits next to Haden as if it were natural.

“ ……. ”

“…… Joo, do you know each other? ”

In an awkward silence, Patrick asks.

I nodded.

Then he looks at Richard and smiles.

“That's a good decision. ”

“I've ruined my life. I'm in charge.”

“What am I? ”

“It's no longer fun to hold a woman, and drinking... damn it! And that was a complete waste of flavor. I can't drink any wine anymore! ”

“Hahaha.”

I laughed cheerfully.

After drinking Wonderful Wine from Woundees, everyone goes through such a withdrawal.

“How will you take responsibility? ”

“Be a great knight in history. I'll serve you that wonderful wine every day. ”

“I made a promise.”

“Yes."

We smiled at each other.

I was so happy with Richard Buck's decision.

In fact, in his former life, Richard Buck spends a long time in vain.

When I was in my 40s, I became a knight of Earl Lindell and became my father's adversary, devoted to practicing swordsmanship and coming to the top of Expert.

What if I don't have the time?

How much more advanced would it be if such a creative talent were to be put into training young 30s blooming?

Perhaps there will be another new error master who did not appear in his previous life.

Isn't that exciting?

A long time later, we were inspected by the soldiers and the king also left Orwen.

On my way to the Kingdom of Leaden, the first three men, except me, were fading away for the first day.

But when I got in on the second day, I quickly got to know him and started talking about things.

“Oh, you just became Exporter? ”

“Yes, I've been walking at the top of my class to come, and thankfully, Zack Basque Kunt taught me systematically, and my skills suddenly improved. And then, at some point, you get a sense of control. ”

“Well, I'm from a knight family, so I've been systematically polishing swords since I was a kid, but it's hard for mercenaries to grow up. I can't ignore specialized training in the field, but I still don't have systematic access to error control. ”

“I'm not getting out of the ranks of the user to come, but Lord Condol gives me hope. ”

“Yes, Mr. Hardin will get the same good results as me. ”

“But I'm surprised. If you're as strong as Duke Basque Kunt, you'll be busy training yourself.You even care to guide the Knights under his command. ”

“You are a part of your training to become a master of error these days, and you teach hard. ”

“I think I've heard the saying about teaching others, too. Anyway, this is good. I'm glad you decided to become a knight of the Kunt writer. ”

“Haha. You've been very bored lately because you don't have any opponents. If Mr. Buck becomes a knight, you'll welcome him with a double digit. You might want to brace yourself. ”

“Very well. I'm nervous to be confronted with someone who looks up to the master. It's hotter than having sex with a girl. ”

Seeing the three people I became close to made me feel better, too.

Mercenary King Condol, Harden, Richard Buck.

I never thought I'd see three people called the mercenary myth chattering together.

I thought this second life was going to be really fun.

Who knew one of me could make a difference on this continent?

I grew up in a big storm with a small variable of one person.

Storms may grow and grow, becoming winds of change pouring across the continent.

Maybe we can make history happier than it used to be. Whenever I have such expectations, I feel a surge of strength in my heart.

A week has passed since crossing the border and westward across the territory of the Kingdom of Leaden.

I told Patrick.

“I'm going to keep going to Ledon. Patrick, you go to Kunt territory and introduce the two of you to your father. ”

“Are you going alone? ”

“Yes. In fact, I'm much faster without a wagon. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

“Then I'm going. ”

I summoned gnome and made Earth's Hand to ride it.

“Good work.”

“I'll see you around. ”

Hadin and Richard greet you.

I waved my hand and hurriedly flew towards King Leaden. It felt best to climb on Earth's hand and fly in the sky for balance.

“Well, we can't just stand there. ”

I made a little chair model out of dirt on the Earth hand.

After that, I sat down and relaxed. My little gnome sat still on my shoulders.

Sitting in a chair, flying in the sky.

Ah-ha-ha.

I felt like I was the king of the world.

All hail the animisty!

* * *

Life in the sky.

Can you imagine?

I spent an entire day in the sky. I don't feel comfortable sitting all day, so I made Earth's hand bigger.

And the backrest was tilted back, so I made a chair where I could lie at an angle.

It was morning when I woke up to sigh.

Earth Hand was still flying.

“Norm, how much farther? ”

-21 hours 31 minutes 19 seconds.

Phew, my clever gnome. You speak accurately up to seconds.

Suddenly, I was hungry.

I summoned Salamanders and Woundees.

“Salamander. See if there's any birds around here." ”

- Rinse, it's annoying!

“...... What are you going to do when you get beat up by Wounded? ”

- If you don't listen to me, you're gonna get hurt!

Woundee is angry with her hands on her waist.

- Chet!

He grumbled as if he were not a salamander and looked around.

The gnome senses all beings on the earth, but not in the air.

But as a spirit of fire, the salamander was able to sense the body temperature of all living creatures.

There's a bird three kilometers ahead!

“Really? Noum, did you hear that? ”

- Yeah!

The gnomes were speeding up. After flying for a long time, I saw the bird that Salamander had told me about.

“Chiaroo! Chiaroo! ”

What kind of bird is that?

A colourful bird with red and blue feathers. It seemed to be about 50 cm long.

“Woundee, hold that for me. ”

-Yeah.

Woundee flies a water-speed through the bird's head.

The colorful bird pitifully flew away without a trace of its head.

Woundee caught a bird falling into Water Hand and brought it to me.
