Knock, knock.

“Heron. ”

Then I called Heron, who was waiting, sending out the signal I had promised.

Choke! Profit.

Soon after, the door opened.

“It's over...? ”

Did you think it was over with the promised signal? With a smile open, Heron stops speaking with a suspicious expression.

Heron stares at Uru and Haha with an eye for explanation. Haha looks at the Uranus in Heron's eyes and the Uranus opens her mouth.

“I'm sorry. ”

“What does that mean……. ”

“It wasn't a quest we could handle. If you just hand over that mercenary, something very bad will happen. ”

Of course, I won't be able to touch it. They didn't come because they couldn't use the power of the Merchant Guild?

“I'm sorry."

He bowed his head slightly and greeted Heron. As he greeted Heron, he walked past Heron. And then Haha followed.

“ ……. ”

Heron sees the back of Urdu and Haha without saying a word. Looking back at the smaller and smaller Uranus and Haha, Heron thought:

What is it?

I was embarrassed.

"Unbearable Quest"? ’

A quest you can't handle?

‘Very bad thing? ’

Threatening that something very bad will happen if you touch it.

‘ ……! ’

Heron, who had been locked in his thoughts, looked surprised at his thoughts.

‘Two?’

Clearly, the number of people supported was three. However, there were two people from the warehouse. In other words, one person was missing.

Heron turns around. Then I looked inside the warehouse carefully.

"Damn it!"

Heron frowns after checking the warehouse. I saw a body. It wasn't the corpse of the mercenary who went in to deliver the letter. It was one of the people who were supported.

He seemed to have been killed. I felt like I knew why Ururu and Haha had reacted like that.

“ ……. ”

Heron looks inside the warehouse with embarrassing eyes. Unlike the Romans, he did not kill because he was a mercenary, but he intended to take the letter.

But the mercenaries were stronger than I thought. No, the three Demon Guild Members were not usually strong enough.

What if the mercenaries had bad feelings about this? No, I would have had a bad feeling.

Of course, no matter how bad you feel, you didn't try to kill it, and it won't cause any trouble inside the Merchant Guild. What if it causes trouble? You can use the power of the Merchant.

No matter how strong you are, mercenaries are mercenaries. If the power of the Merchant Guild moves, you can defeat it lightly.

‘This is not the time. ’

Heron turns back while looking at the Vault. It was because I thought I should get out of here first.

‘Why……. ’

Heron stepped into his room and thought about why this happened.

‘ ……. ’

But the answer was one. That the mercenaries were strong.

‘…… Argh. ’

Heron frowns.

‘The Romans will flee. ’

In this situation, the Romans will receive a letter, but they will not remain silent. Obviously I would ask the mercenaries for help and run away.

‘What do we do? ’

I didn't think of a way to catch the romans.

‘The way is to move the promoters. ’

No, one way to be precise was to think of it. It was to move the promoters and use the power of the Merchant.

‘I'd say it was good. ’

However, the promoters would not move. Rather, he would think it was good if the Romans fled.

‘Even though I made the situation that way. Damn bastards.’

Heron frowns once again. It was a perfect trap. Made Romeo a puppy of Jubilee.

But the promoters' reaction was not as harsh as Heron thought. When I said imprisonment, there was a rebuttal.

"No."

Heron, who was locked in thought, changed his mind.

‘Rather good. ’

Thinking about it, it wasn't bad for the Romans to run away.

We need to find out where it is. ’

The location of the cave can be referred to the Information Guild or you can find it later.

‘I have the key anyway. ’

Heron had the most important key.

‘And use this to pressure the promoters. ’

If the Romans flee, they can push the promoters to Billie.

‘Come on, we have to take over the merchant. ’

Heron decides to take over the Merchant Corps as soon as possible.

“Can you wait a minute? ”

“Yes.”

A Roman who heard Su-hyuk's answer entered the room. And shortly after, a message appeared.

[Quest ‘Escort the Romans! You have completed']

Seeing the message, Su-hyuk smiled. Now that you've completed the quest, it's time for your reward.

‘Secret Cave! ’

I was expecting the quest ‘Secret Cave’ to be rewarded. Su-hyuk thought with all his expectations.

‘But should I do this first? ’

Su-hyuk should be ranked up. However, Roman Quests do not help to rank up or down.

‘Yes, it could be related. ’

Su-hyuk, who had been pondering for a while, finished pondering. The secret place in the special quest 'Heritage of Celta’ may not be the secret cave Roman knows. However, there was also ample possibility that the secret cave was a secret place.

Gain on bait

Roman came out of the room while he was locked in his mind. The Roman from the room was carrying a bag.

“Here it is. ”

Roman gives out the pouch he was holding in his hand.

“210 gold. ”

It was the cost of delivering Hackid's letter and the cost of escorting him here to his room. Su-hyuk once received a pocket.

“Thank you.”

And when Su-hyuk got his pouch, the Romans greeted him. Su-hyuk was forced to be a little embarrassed by such a Roman reaction.

‘What? You don't give me a quest? ’

Gold received the quest, but not the 'Secret Cave’ yet. But Roman was responding like he was going to break up here. Su-hyuk confirmed Roman's expression. Then Su-hyuk sighed with relief, confirming the look on Roman's face.

‘So it is. ’

The look on his face revealed that he was struggling. Su-hyuk, who had no intention of wasting his time like this, told Roman.

“Is there anything else I can do to help? ”

“That's because I don't have the money……. ”

“Ah……. ”

Su-hyuk spoke elastically to the Romans. The reason Roman was struggling was because he didn't have the money to make a request.

‘You can't miss the quest because of gold. ’

But you can't miss the quest to get a few hundred gold. It wasn't even a quest for gold in the first place.

“Gold is fine. It's a situation.”

Su-hyuk smiled.

Room of the 2nd Provision.

“Isn't something strange? ”

“Yeah, I felt weird, too. ”

Currently, two comas, three Cortecs and four Hellburns, the owners of the room, were gathering for a conversation.

“Don't you all know that the Romans aren't your friends? ”

Cortec said.

“Yes, I honestly……. ”

Hellburn nodded and blurred the end of the horse, staring at Komma and Cortec one by one.

“I'm thinking it might be a trap. ”

“A trap?”

“A trap?”

Coma and Cortec replied in Hellburn's words.

“Actually……. ”

Hellburn once again focused on the two promoters by blurring the end of the word.

“I saw a horrible sight two days ago. ”

Hellburn frowns at his glance, recalling what he saw two days ago.

“Heron and his first wife held each other. It was in front of Heron's room, too. ”

“ ……! ”

In Hellburn's words, Komma and Cortec had no choice but to be surprised.

It was then.

Knock-knock.

The sound of the knock went off and the three promoters who were talking twinkled and looked at the door at the same time as they had made a promise.

“Nile, Roman. ”

Then the three promoters winked again at the voice coming from outside the door. How did the incarcerated Romans get here?

Coma woke up in her place. And I quickly opened the door. To make sure it was real Roman or not.

“... you! ”

Coma, who opened the door, could see the Romans smiling bitterly. Roman came into the room.

“Thank God. Hellburn, Cortec, it's good to have you here, too. ”

Romans who entered the room discovered Hellburn and Cortex and began to continue speaking.

“I intend to leave the Merchant Guild for a while. Probably won't be back for a while. Of course, the sight you saw was a misunderstanding. That's not why I'm leaving. ”

Roman wants to go to Hackid's house at seven peaks. Escort the Romans safely!

Quest Reward: Quest – Secret Cave

“ ……. ”

Su-hyuk said nothing. I just frowned at the quest.

‘Why did you give me this quest? ’

Of course, I thought I would receive the quest ‘Secret Cave’. However, the quest received from the Romans was‘ 7 Peaks’, not ‘Secret Cave’.

I could not say anything to the Romans and refuse because the reward for completing the quest ‘7 Peaks' was the quest ‘Secret Cave’.

Gain on bait

It was then.

“Thank you for your patience. ”

A Roman who went in to talk to the promoters came out of the room. Su-hyuk closes the quest window and leaves the building with Romaine and heads to the entrance.

“What do I do with my expenses? ”

When he almost arrived at the entrance, Su-hyuk asked Roman. The man guarding the entrance was not the one who brought Heron. I felt like I was done working. The man guarding the entrance was the first one I saw.

“I think you can just pass by. ”

Roman saw the man guarding the entrance and replied. The man who was guarding the entrance, as expected, only greeted the Romans and did not react much. From the top, Suhyuk and Roman head straight for the eastern gate, to reach the seventh peak.

“But wouldn't it be better to leave during the day? ”

Roman said after leaving the eastern gate. Roman voices were filled with anxiety. From the perspective of a Roman NPC, who is not a user, it was obvious that monsters were anxious to go to the Carmine Mountains at night.

“No, don't worry. ”

Su-hyuk replied with a resolute voice. If we leave during the day, there will certainly be less anxiety on the part of the Romans.

However, Roman insecurity does not affect the quest. And most importantly, Su-hyuk had a hard time.

‘At least I'm glad I got the quest in seven packs. ’

In case you have something to say to Hackid after delivering the letter to Roman, Su-hyuk has received a quest to save Helid, the flower of vitality.

In other words, even if this quest was not "Seven Peaks," it was Hydra who had to go to Seven Peaks to save Helid anyway.

“Save the party members! ”

“Oh, there's not too many people. No, there are a lot of people, but why not a party? ”

“It's night. ”

Shortly thereafter, Suhyuk and Roman could reach the entrance of the Camaine Mountains. There were quite a number of users gathered even at night.

“Su-hyuk, there are a lot of people.... ”

Roman, who discovered the users, told Su-hyuk. But the Romans could not speak to the end.

“It's okay.”

Su-hyuk cuts the Roman horse and passes through the users and enters the mountain range.
