Seventy-nine won

“Oh, I see. ”

“Yes.”

And Zelem, who understood Baal's words, said,

“I'll give you another quest as soon as I get to the guild. And if this quest changes, please let me know immediately. ”

“Got it.”

“Yes.”

Baal, who heard both answers, thought,

‘The secret cave of the Great Lakes Celta. What's in there? ’

Baal didn't even know Kelta. But I didn't even know it well. All Baal knew was that Kelta was the famous thief NPC.

‘I need to find out.’

At first I was not interested. However, I became interested in the reaction of Su-hyuk. Baal decided to get to know Kelta as soon as he arrived.

Hadang: Gilma.

When we were out of the Kamaine Mountains and almost at Hardlock.

Hadang: Where are you?

The Great Guild Member of the Demon Guild sent a whisper.

Baal: You will arrive at the Guild House soon. What's going on?

Baal answered the words of the Chaldeans and asked: The Chaplain would not have sent a whisper to ask his regards or questions. I would have whispered in my ear because I had something to see.

Hadang: Heron the Copine Merchant Guild is here now.

"Heron?"

Baal, who was going to have a seat with Heron sooner or later, whispered in his ear, thinking that it was good.

Baal: What are you here for? I don't think I'm curious about the situation of the quest.

If it is a request situation, the lower house can also answer enough questions. Heron is not here to know the situation of the quest.

Hadang: I said I'd see you in person. It seems to be a pretty important story.

Baal: Okay. We'll be there in five minutes.

Hadang: Yep, I'll tell you that.

Baal: Oh, and please prepare a quest for both of you.

Hadang: Okay.

Baal finished his whispering to the Chaldeans and said to Zelem, who was moving with speed.

“If you go to Hadang, I'll give you a quest. ”

“Yep.”

“Yes.”

Salat and Zlem replied, and soon Baal was able to reach the Guild House.

“To my room. ”

At the same time as his arrival, Baal entered the room, briefly speaking to the Chaplain who was waiting at the entrance.

Knock-knock.

And shortly thereafter, Heron came in with Knock.

“Greetings.”

“How are you? Haha.”

Baal and Heron greeted each other.

“I hear you have something to say to me. ”

After having greeted him and sat down, Baal went straight to the point.

“Yes, I need strength. ”

Heron nods at Baal's words and says:

“Power?”

Baal mutters. You need strength? What kind of power is that?

“Yes, I intend to catch a mercenary visiting the Merchant Guild at 10: 00 tonight. But you can't use the power of the Merchant Guild. Haha..... ”

“Oh, you mean that power. ”

In Heron's words, Baal realized what power he meant.

“How much can I support you? ”

Baal asked.

“Well……. ”

Heron pondered Baal's question for a moment and opened his mouth.

“I think three would be enough. ”

79.

It was only about dealing with one person. I don't know how strong that one person is, but I thought three Herons who knew the power of the Demon Guild members would be enough.

“Three. Got it. ”

Baal nods.

“What time can I send you? ”

And I asked. I knew the beginning of the day would be at 10: 00. But literally the start time was 10: 00. I couldn't send it just in time for the start.

“You can send it to me by 9: 00. ”

Heron answered Baal's question and said,

“It won't take long. It'll be over in two hours. No, it won't take two hours. So..... ”

Heron, who blurred his words, looked at Baal's eyes. And I said it again.

“How about 200 gold plus 600 gold per person? If it takes more time, I'll pay you an extra 100 gold an hour. ”

“Good.”

It wasn't a little gold, it wasn't much time. Baal immediately accepted because he had no reason to refuse.

“Aw.”

And Baal thought,

“I have something to tell you about the red bead. ”

“ ……! ”

Heron was astonished at Baal's words.

“Did you find it? ”

Is that what you found?

“No, I didn't find it. ”

Baal crossed his head and replied, and Heron looked sadly at Baal's answer. And Baal followed.

“I checked up to six peaks and found no red beads. ”

“Then……. ”

“If you were in one of those places, as you said, you would be in seven peaks. We are currently dispatching personnel to the 7th peak. ”

Of course, I went and came back with nothing. However, it was not necessary to inform the sponsor. After that, Baal continued the conversation and began to gather information. It was information about Kelta's secret cave.

“Well, I'll be going. ”

The conversation was over and Heron stood up with a smile. Baal rises from his seat and follows him and sends Heron back to his seat, where he sits down and submerges himself.

‘You don't know the location of the cave. ’

Heron did not know the location of the cave either. No, Heron didn't know much, to be exact. There was no big difference from what Baal knew.

‘I need to use the Information Guild. ’

I think I need to use the Information Guild to get more information.

“Where did you hide it? ”

Anna asked.

“ ……. ”

Roman didn't answer Anna's question. I was just staring silently at Anna with cold eyes.

‘Why.'

I returned as quickly as I could, even if I left the ascent because of my yearning for Anna. Coppine loved Anna that much.

I did not understand that Anna, who was so in love that she eventually left the house, betrayed Coppine.

“If you give me the location of the red bead, I can save your life. ”

Anna kept asking.

‘Why do you keep saying that? ’

Roman thought about Anna's question.

You're asking about the beads, right? ’

Something strange. If you ask me about the location of the cave, why do I keep asking for the location of the red bead? Is there something in the bead that didn't do something?

‘Surely Heron didn't do it? ’

Was it someone other than Heron who did something with the Red Bead?

‘I don't know what it is, but I'll find it soon. ’

Currently, the red beads were stored in the desk drawer of the Roman room. I don't think I found it now, but I will soon.

‘The problem is after that. ’

What I need to think about now is after Heron discovers the red bead.

‘You can't kill him. ’

I can't kill you because I found a red marble.

‘I'm the only one who knows where I am. ’

It was because of the location of the cave. It was the two of them who knew the location of the secret cave of Bato Kelta. One of them was Roman and the other was Ketan. Ketan is dead, which means he's the only Roman who knows where he is now.

It was then.

Bug Bug Bug

I hear footsteps. Anna turns her head to identify the protagonist of footsteps and smiles brightly within.

‘Heron.’

With Anna's smile, Roman can see that the protagonist of footsteps is Heron.

“Are you here?”

As soon as Heron arrived, Anna flirted.

“Did you say anything? ”

Heron reaches out naturally and hugs Anna's waist and asks.

“No, he didn't say a word. I'm sorry.”

“It's okay. I found it. ”

Heron puts his hand in his arms, answering Anna's words. And I pulled out my hand within a week. Heron's hand holds a red marble.

‘Found it.’

The Romans, who had already anticipated that they would find the Red Bead, did not waver at all.

“Oh, so now..... ”

Anna saw the red bead and blurred the end of the horse and Heron continued.

“Just find out where the cave is and it's over. ”

Heron puts the red bead back in his arms. And I told Roman.

“You're not going to answer that right now, are you? ”

“ ……. ”

“That's it, then. But I don't know how far that's gonna go either. ”

Heron smiles at the unanswered Roman.

[You have completed the quest 'Shout of the Valley’.]

After completing the quest, Su-hyuk came down to the first floor with the mercenary defeat and reward. Then I lined up and checked the time.

‘You can get commissioned and go. ’

It will be 10 o'clock in the morning. It would be just right if you were asked to go. It was Su-hyuk's turn and after roughly looking through the list, Su-hyuk left the mercenary office and headed for the Copine Merchant Corps.

‘Still on the job? ’

Soon, Su-hyuk was able to reach the Copine Merchant Guild. I still had a guy who was on duty when I came to see what the hell was going on. Su-hyuk approached the man.

“Hut.”

As Su-hyuk approaches, the man winks with a surprised expression.

“Are you here to see Roman? ”

The man first asked before Su-hyuk even took out the horse.

“Yes, I'm here to see Roman. ”

“Will you wait in the parlour for a moment? ”

“Yes.”

Su-hyuk went into the reception room, answering the words of the man.

Gain on bait

Soon after the door opened, a man came in to pick up Roman.

“ ……? ”

Su-hyuk was forced to doubt it.

‘Why is he here again? ’

It was not the Romans who came into the parlour with the man. It was Heron. Why is Heron here again?

Did something really happen? ’

I wondered what really happened to Roman. In the meantime, Heron arrives and Heron opens his mouth.

“I'm sorry about this. ”

Heron's face was full of difficulty speaking.

“It took more than I thought……. ”

Heron, blurred at the end of the speech, looked at the notion of Hydra for a moment and continued.

“It might take a little while for the Romans to finish. Is this a letter important enough for you to deliver it yourself? ”

It was the same question that came before.

“I'm not sure about that. That's how I was asked. ”

Su-hyuk also gave me the same answer.

“Then I have no choice. ”

“ ……? ”

“I will escort you to the Roman Room. ”

At the words of Heron, Su-hyuk took place in his place. When Su-hyuk arose, Heron began to move forward and Su-hyuk followed him.

"Huh?"

Soon after, however, Su-hyuk felt strange.

‘Shouldn't we go there? ’

It was Su-hyuk who had already been to the Roman room. However, if Heron goes in the direction he is walking, the Roman room will not come out.

I told you I was going to Roman's room. ’

Heron certainly said he would guide you to the Roman room.

‘Where are we going? ’

Not even a few days later, but hours have passed and the room must not have changed. Where the hell is Heron going?

‘Something seems to have happened. ’

I can't be sure I haven't seen Roman yet, but I think something happened to Roman.

“Can you hold on a second? ”

Heron stopped walking within.

“Oh, yes. ”
