110,000 won

Ugh!

Arriving on the first floor, Hydrohyuk once toured the interior of the mansion. The water history that surrounded the interior of the mansion came out of the mansion with Hackid.

The moment I left the mansion with Hackid.

[You have completed the quest ‘Kidnapped Hackid’.]

A message appeared, completing the quest ‘Kidnapped Hackid’. Su-hyuk looked at the message and thought,

‘What are you going to reward me for? ’

Quest ‘Kidnapped Hackid’ reward was a question mark.

‘I don't think it's automatic, so I should take it myself. ’

No further messages appeared. It was not a quest to automatically earn rewards. In other words, it was a quest that should be rewarded directly by Hackid.

When he saw the message, Su-hyuk turned his head and looked at the hackid. Even though he was walking alone, he was a hackid with a bit of a hard mood.

Having seen the state of the hackid, I didn't think I'd be able to talk about compensation right away. And it was hard for Su-hyuk to tell the story about the reward.

“Su-hyuk. ”

After coming out of the mansion, Hackid called for water.

“Yes.”

Su-hyuk answered Hackid's call, and when Su-hyuk answered, Hackid continued.

“Can I ask you where you're going? ”

Su-hyuk smiled and replied to Hackid's question.

“This is where Romain is. ”

Saaaak

“ ……. ”

Ross, returning to the mansion of Parville Merchant Guild, remained motionless for a while. I was speechless, staring at the front.

"No way. ’

The Red Wolves have been attacked. Then I found out that a wizard named Garot was involved. But I didn't think I did it alone.

It was because there was no way the Red Wolves could get hit by a wizard. That's why I was going to take him to jail.

But Garot was stronger than I thought. Magic Casting Speed and Magic Powerfulness were not the levels of common wizards Ross knew.

“Garot.... ”

Ross murmurs the name of Garot. Then I woke up from the darkness with a murmur and came out of the enchantment.

Ross, who came out of the enchanted camp, headed straight to the room of Gaju and Merchant Leader Layden, who was leading the Parville Merchant Guild.

“Hut, Captain? ”

As he was heading to Layden's room, Ross was surprised to see a humble figure of man approaching.

“Deputy commander.”

It was Kerom, the vice commander of the Red Wolf, led by Ross.

“Are you done with what you did? ”

Kerom looked around and asked Ross after checking that there were no people. Kerom also doesn't know exactly what Ross went to. But I knew it wasn't about training, as it was known externally.

“ ……. ”

Ross couldn't answer Kerom's question. What's the answer to this? I just made a bitter laugh.

“ ……? ”

After seeing Ross' bitter smile, Kerom looked suspicious.

“Gather the members who are staying within the Merchant Guild. ”

Ross looked at Kerom's suspicious face and said,

“All of them.”

“Yes? All of them? ”

Kerom mutters and Ross nods.

“I have something to say. ”

Of course, I had to tell others what happened, but I had to tell the Red Wolf before anyone else.

“Got it.”

After hearing Kerom's answer, Ross passed through Kerom and headed to his original destination.

Jeebuck!

And shortly after arriving in front of Layden's room, the destination, Ross stopped walking.

“Master!”

In front of the room was Chamberlain Casillas. Seeing that Cassiyas was inside, Ross could see that Layden was inside.

“Are you done with your training? ”

Kasiyas asked.

“..... I'm here to see you. ”

Ross could not answer Casillas' question. It was because training was not the real purpose. No, even if it wasn't a real purpose, it would have been a pleasant answer, but didn't it fail desperately?

“Ah……. ”

The position of butler was not an easy one. Cassiyas realized that something bad had happened to Ross, who avoided the answer, and gave out a short resilience. And then answered Ross.

“I'm sorry, but there's a guest inside right now. ”

“A guest?”

Ross, who was about to enter the room past Casiyas, muttered.

“Yes.”

“It's pretty important. ”

“You told me not to let anyone in. Anybody. Anything at all. ”

“…… because someone is here. ”

Ross frowns and mutters. What kind of guest did he tell you not to come in?

“Can you let me know? ”

Ross, who had frowned again, asked Cassiyas.

“I'm sorry."

Cassiyas crosses his head on Ross' question. Ross looked at Cassiyas shaking his head and thought,

‘You must be a very important guest. ’

Ross had a higher status than the Red Wolf leader of the Parville Merchant Guild. He was the brother of the merchant leader, Rayden.

It was Ross who had an enormous position with the leader and the leader of the Merchant Corps. However, it seemed like a very important visitor came to me because I couldn't tell him.

Who the hell is that? ’

So I was more curious. What kind of guests are they?

“Me too..... ”

But Ross was forced to be astonished at what Cassiyas had to say.

“I've never seen one. ”

“ ……! ”

Ross stares at the door and looks at Cassiyas with a surprised expression.

“The butler you've never seen before? ”

Ross was such an important guest that he couldn't get in either. I thought Casillas, the butler, would be aware of such an important guest. But you've never seen him before?

“Yes.”

Casiyas nods.

“ ……. ”

Ross said nothing. I just looked at the door with my mouth shut and thought deeply.

‘Who's really here? ’

Seeing that Casias does not know, he is neither a royal nor a noble. If you are a royal or a noble, you cannot know that Casiyas, the butler, is not to know.

Who the hell is here?

“Do you intend to wait here? ”

Cassiyas, who was locked in his thoughts, then asked Ross.

“Yes, it's important. ”

Ross nods. I was going to wait here. I had something to say and most importantly, I was curious about the identity of the guest inside.

Soon.

Gain on bait

The door is open.

Ross kept an eye on him when he opened the door. Who the hell are the most important guests and what are they talking about?

“ ……? ”

But Ross, who opened the door and saw it, had no choice but to question it.

“Brother?”

It was because the one who opened the door was the Merchant Leader Layden.

“Ross?”

Reyden also found Ross and called out Ross's name in an embarrassing voice.

“What are you doing here? Are you done already? ”

“That is……. ”

Ross, full of curiosity about his guests, blurred his words with a bitter expression on Layden's question.

“Hmm, you should listen inside. ”

After roughly figuring out what happened in Ross's blurred reaction, Layden sneezes back into the room.

Ross follows Layden into the room.

What is it?

And Ross, who came into the room, looked inside and wondered.

Why not? ’

It was Layden who opened the door. The guest didn't show up. In other words, the guest still had to be in the room. But I didn't see any guests.

‘It has to be..... ’

Cassiyas said there was definitely a guest in the room. Cassiyas couldn't have said it wrong.

“Brother.”

Ross sat on the other side of Layden and opened his mouth.

“I heard you have a guest. ”

“..... you must have heard from the butler. ”

“Yes.”

“You'll see. Now I want you to put that question in a moment. ”

In Layden's words, Ross had no choice but to erase his curiosity. If you keep wondering, I'll tell you. However, Layden's planting will become uncomfortable. I wasn't curious enough to make Layden's planting uncomfortable.

“Oh, yes. ”

Ross cleared the question from his face at the same time as answering. Reyden opens his mouth with Ross' answer and a generous smile on his face.

“Okay, let's talk about what we've seen. What happened to you? Why did you come back so early? ”

Reyden was also one of the people who knew Ross' true purpose. No matter how secretly Ross went about it, I couldn't keep it a secret from Layden. Rayden was the head of the Merchant Corps and absolute ruler of the Parville Merchant Corps. I didn't want to be misunderstood by Layden at the pinnacle of power.

“Failed."

Ross opens his mouth with a bitter expression.

“I lost all the red wolves I took with me. ”

“What?”

Reyden replies with a surprised look at Ross' words. No matter how many red wolves you took, you lost everything?

“What the hell? ”

What the hell happened?

“There seems to be a group of others who are after the treasure. ”

Ross recalls Garot. Garot is strong. But he doesn't seem strong enough to deal with all the Red Wolf. In other words, there will be colleagues.

“It's where Kelta's treasure is. ”

Layden nods as if he understood.

“Do you know where it is? ”

Layden, who stopped nodding, asked.

“All I know now is a wizard named Garot. ”

“Garot?”

“Yes. Now that I've sent Carten, I'll get more information. ”

109.

I have sent Carten. I will get any information. I will bring not only a wizard named Garot, but also a small clue about his companions or the group to which Garot belongs.

Ross believed in Carten's ability.

* * *

“Hackid!”

“I'm sorry.”

Roman approaches Hackid. Hackid apologized with a face full of remorse.

[You have completed the quest ‘Kidnapped Hackid’.]

That's how the message came out the moment the two of you had a conversation.

‘It's finally over. ’

Su-hyuk looked at the message and thought,

‘Are you going now? ’

The reward for the quest ‘Kidnapped Hackid’ was the quest ‘Cave Exploration’. However, I was a little anxious to recall that I had not received any 'cave exploration’ in quest rewards. Maybe I'll be pushed again.

I don't think Hackid's coming with us. ’

No matter how much I get heels, Hackid's condition is not good. It's impossible to take Hackid with you right now. But what if I need a hackid to explore the cave? Quest ‘Cave Exploration’ is being pushed again.

‘I don't need any nursing, so I don't think I'll stay. ’

Fortunately, Hackid wasn't in such a bad condition that he needed a nurse. The likelihood of Romans remaining for nursing was close to zero.

‘I think I'll leave right away if I don't have to. ’

In other words, if you don't need a hackid to explore the cave, you can leave now.
