Drake Guild and Lem Guild. A guild of the NPCs. It was not usually a guild, it was a guild that ruled hardlocks.

I could be a guild that could not enter even if I wanted to. However, Su-hyuk was unable to complete this quest.

You cannot enter the Drake Guild or the Lem Guild. It was because I decided to join the guild, the 'leader’ of the year.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Su-hyuk replied to Ian and Alex. And the moment Su-hyuk answered, when did the quest before his eyes disappear?

“No!”

“You don't have to be sorry. ”

However, Ian and Alex crossed their heads to see if Su-hyuk's answer was already expected.

“But..... ”

Ian blurred his words and asked.

“Can you tell me why you're doing the quest? ”

Why is Su-hyuk, the next stable owner of the Poison Horse Tower, conducting the quest? Is that crazy, too? Ian wondered if that was true. Alex was also curious, so when Ian finished speaking, he stared at Su-hyuk.

“Oh, that's..... ”

Su-hyuk also thought of how to answer the question by blurring the end of his words in the eyes of the two corporations that were flying back.

‘Shall I tell you the truth? ’

To use the library. Can I tell you the truth to be a Class A mercenary?

‘I don't think it matters. ’

Speaking the truth did not seem to be a problem. It was not a negative reason.

Do you believe me?

Nevertheless, Su-hyuk was worried because he didn't think Alex and Ian would believe the reason.

‘I don't believe it. ’

Ian and Alex knew Hydra as the next stable in the Poison Horse Tower. By the way, do you believe that the next stable in the Dog Horse Tower was just conducting a quest to get a Class A Mercenary Defender to use the library?

‘But..... ’

But I didn't really think I should answer Moore because I didn't tell him the truth.

Believe it or not. ’

I also hated lying there.

“I needed a Class A mercenary to access the library. ”

After thinking about it, Su-hyuk told Ian and Alex.

“ ……? ”

And as expected by Su-hyuk, Ian and Alex had doubts as to the promise.

“I..... ”

Silence didn't last long. Alex opened his mouth.

“So why do you carry out the request.... ”

Alex's expression was still full of embarrassment.

“To use the library, right? ”

After speaking with a question, Alex stares at Su-hyuk.

“Yes.”

“ ……. ”

According to Su-hyuk's answer, Ian and Alex were silent again. And looking at Hydra, I thought,

"Library"? Just for that? ’

‘What, just trying to use the library like that.... ’

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn't understand. Who would believe that they are conducting a quest to use the library?

Ugh! Ugh!

Alex and Ian, who were thinking, looked at each other. And I talked with my eyes, and I saw Su-hyuk.

“In case.”

Again, it was Alex who took out the horse.

“Do you intend to continue your quest? ”

“Yes, I intend to do it until I get to Grade A. ”

Su-hyuk nodded and replied to Alex's question. According to Su-hyuk's answer, Alex and Ian looked at each other again. Then I talked to him with my own eyes and saw Hydra again.

“Then……. ”

This time, Ian took out the horse, not Alex.

“Can we make a direct request? ”

“Quest?”

“Yes, if you accept our referral, you will be promoted to Class A. No, I'll give you a promotion to S. ”

“ ……! ”

Su-hyuk was forced to be surprised by Ian's words.

"Promotion?"

From Ian's mouth, it was also because he got promoted to S.

“What kind of request? ”

Su-hyuk asked Ian, who brought up the story of his promotion. What kind of quest is it that promotes you to grade S?

‘It won't be easy. ’

It would not have been an easy quest.

“That is……. ”

Ian opened his mouth.

* * *

After Ian's words, the quest appeared.

Hardlock's Underground Waterway. When did the chimeras begin to appear in the underground waterways? Ian and Alex decided to clean the underground waterway. But the chimeras were strong and had the most powerful venom. After all, it failed to clean, and at the moment it is only preventing the chimeras from running out of the underground waterways. Clean up the chimeras of the Underground Waterway and find out why!

[Chimera Summon Magic Faction A: 0/1]

[Chimera Summon Magic Faction B: 0/1]

[Chimera Summon Magic Faction C: 0/1]

[Chimera Summon Magic Faction D: 0/1]

[Chimera Summon Magic Faction E: 0/1]

[Chimera Summon Magic Faction F: 0/1]

[Chimera: 0/???]

Quest Reward: Grade S Promotion,???

Underground waterways? ’

After seeing the quest, Su-hyuk opened the inventory. And I saw the item in the second compartment of the third row. ‘Hardlock Underground Secret Map' obtained after killing Loa a a while ago. It was a map of Hardlock's Underground Capital.

‘This underground waterway? ’

It was clear that the underground waterways that Ian mentioned and the subway on the map were the same place. Unless there are two underground waterways in Hardlock.

“Will you accept our request? ”

Su-hyuk, who was looking at the quest, saw Alex and Ian in the voice that came into his ear. Alex and Ian were staring at Su-hyuk as they had always been.

“Yes.”

Su-hyuk replied to both eyes.

[You have accepted quest ‘Troubled Underground Waterway’.]

It was Su-hyuk who carried out the commission of the mercenary office solely to raise the rank. However, there was no reason to refuse that I would be promoted to Class S.

“Go, thank you! ”

“Thank you!”

Alex and Ian smiled and thanked Su-hyuk for his answer. To be honest, it was not unusual for Su-hyuk to say no. I didn't hide the danger, but I told her everything until the day I went with Rhino. I have been fully informed of the dangers of underground waterways. Nevertheless, I was so grateful for the request from Alex and Ian.

“No, I really appreciate it. ”

Su-hyuk smiled at Alex and Ian.

“But do you really need our help? ”

“That's right. That place is really……. ”

Ian says and Alex nods and blurs the end of the speech. In those words, Su-hyuk replied with a smile.

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

Originally, Alex and Ian said they would go with him. However, being with NPC is inconvenient in many ways. So Su-hyuk refused.

“Some of you will help. ”

And Su-hyuk didn't intend to go alone. There were those who would go with him.

‘This is what Kamien said about the quest. ’

He was the master camian of the Koma Guild. The Coma Guild, a Kamian guild, received a Guild quest related to the Underground Waterway.

At that time, I refused, but now I have to go to the Underground Waterway to help Kamien. You could get help.

“See you later, then. ”

Su-hyuk took place in his place.

“Oh, wait! ”

It was then.

“ ……? ”

In his place, Su-hyuk stopped moving and saw Ian as he was called.

“Could you give me a mercenary defeat for a moment? ”

“…… now? ”

Su-hyuk mutters. Why ask for a mercenary defeat if you didn't even complete the quest? However, in the words of Ian, Su-hyuk was forced to be surprised.

“Yes, you have received a request, so I will upgrade you to the S rank as promised. ”

Ninety.

‘I didn't complete the quest. ’

Quest reward was a Class S promotion. You didn't complete the quest, but you're upgrading me to S?

‘I see. ’

Then I remembered what Ian had said.

‘If you accept my request, I'll raise you to S. ’

This is not the completion of the quest. It was definitely a case of being asked. In other words, the S rating was obtained just by receiving it.

‘People are confused. ’

Quest rewards have a grade S promotion, so I was confused at the moment. Su-hyuk pulled the mercenary shield from the inventory and handed it to Ian.

“Please wait a moment. ”

Ian, who was defeated by mercenaries, stood up with a smile. Then he went out of the room with a mercenary shield.

“Su-hyuk. ”

When Ian left, Alex opened his mouth as if he had waited.

“Yes.”

“Can I ask you a question? ”

“Yes, tell me. ”

“I wonder why you're going to the library. ”

The question of why Su-hyuk solved the quest like crazy was answered by Su-hyuk.

But after hearing Su-hyuk's answer, Alex had a new question. That was the reason I wanted to go to the library.

Why do you want to go to the library? Is there something special in Hardlock's library? Several questions were raised.

“I like books. ”

Su-hyuk replied to Alex.

“Books?”

And Alex, who heard the answer, muttered.

“Yes.”

“Ah……. ”

Alex spits out his resilience in the nod of Su-hyuk.

“ ……. ”

And for a moment, silence began to dominate the room. Su-hyuk didn't have much to say, and Alex was a thoughtless silence.

"To read a book? ’

All the questions were resolved, but I was quite embarrassed. Did you just do a lot of those quests to read the book?

‘The wizards are unusual. ’

That was why Alex's position did not make any sense.

Gain on bait

Soon, Ian came in with the door open. Ian had a golden mercenary shield in his hand. He was a Class S mercenary.

“Thank you for your patience. ”

“No.”

“Here it is. ”

Ian handed out the mercenary shield. Su-hyuk stood up and received a mercenary defeat. And I said hello to Alex and Ian.

“I'll see you next time. ”

Alex and Ian bowed their heads to Su-hyuk's greetings. After saying goodbye, Su-hyuk came out of the room.

“I'll walk you through it.”

The NPC, which was waiting outside, began to move forward and Su-hyuk was able to follow him down to the second floor of the mercenary office.

“Good work.”

Su-hyuk greets NPC for guidance and comes down to the first floor. Then I saw users standing in line to receive a request on the first floor.

‘I don't think I can stand a line anymore. ’

I wasn't asked for gold. It was to raise the rank. However, I have now been graded as much as I wanted. No, I went up more than that.

It was no longer necessary to carry out the quest. In other words, the quest that Ian and Alex received was the last one.

Su-hyuk came from the mercenary office. Then I opened the inventory and smiled at the mercenary who was sitting in the first compartment of the first row. It was the most important item that Su-hyuk currently has.

Shall we go? ’

Hardlock's library is now available.

‘Yes, I have to listen to Kamien. ’

Su-hyuk, who was pondering whether to go to the underwater waterway or to the library, finished pondering. I'm not going to the Underground Waterway alone anyway. No, you can go alone, to be precise, but first you have to listen to Kamien.
