SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

3.

A place led by light is as gentle as its light.

A place that seems to have opened a white duvet to the horizon.

There was someone else already there, besides me.

“Oh?”

“Hmm.”

The two of us made eye contact.

The opponent smiles with a cat-like mouth.

“Welcome, Four Kings. Exactly ten days.No one's as trustworthy as the young man who keeps his promises. ”

The one with the gold coins in the tower. It was an Earl.

The Earl was dressed in a traditional Indian outfit. Despite his enormous wealth, the Earl surrounded his silly solid-colored sari. Or should I say instead? The pattern of debt held by the Earl was spectacular.

“Thank you. Uh, how are the fairy children? ”

"Phew. Don't even say it. I was so brazen I didn't even see my face! ”

The Earl owes you a debt. A golden pattern. The Arabesque shimmer and shake.

“Even fairy children have no concept of money, so they have taught me to manage my money intensively. Can't they just eat grass petals or whatever? Huh, and then these guys, they get caught up in the touch of money. Now they only decide if everything is money or not. What a horror!”

"......."

The fate of the Elves is just as simple.

Prior to his return, he ruled under the control of the Salt Empire as a bloodthirsty race of combatants, and now he has the Earl's guidance and is evolving into fury.

Children resemble parents.

“Don't you follow the Earl's teachings? ”

“Huh. What does this guy see me as? I'm just a man who sees money as water. It's big water. It has to be rainwater. It has to be river water. It has to be sea water. ”

“In short, you spend money like water. ”

“Oops. That's right. I can't even pretend to be the best in front of the Four Kings. ”

The Earl flinches beyond the debt.

“When are the others coming, anyway? Things have been a little off between us lately. ”

Hey.

“Weren't you supposed to have a relationship? ”

“I was just face-to-face. Once upon a time, he was my best friend and Manny's chair was in a frenzy. There was a purge, and since then, it's been pretty thin. We've been friends since you got here. ”

“Heh.”

“Of course, some people have always been good friends. ”

Sister.

‘That's a lot of lyrics. ’

Although I pride myself on getting along quite well with my fellow Hunters, it was still dark about their past. Inquisitor, I heard about Bamboolin's childhood not too long ago.

“Oh, right. ”

I suddenly remembered the Inquisitor.

“I heard the paladin is seeing someone. Do you know who that is? ”

“Hmm? Why do you ask? ”

“I'm a little curious. You wear a helmet most of the time. I wonder if you wear a helmet when you date someone... ”

“No way.”

The Earl smiles as if it's funny.

“I don't know about you, paladin, but he cares a lot about hair care. It's great to take off your helmet. ”

"Oh, yeah? ”

"Sure. Like hell in the sun. The reason I wear a helmet in the first place is......."

Boom!

At that moment, you hear a silly sound as you thrash Norgary. The Earl and I turn our heads at the same time.

“Sorry, sorry! I was a little late working with the tower. ”

A constellation [Wonder Girl] hugs the pillow in her arms. He seemed busy for some reason. The princess wiped the sweat off her forehead saying, ”Whew…”.

“Let's see. Ah. You cleared 33 floors. Did you talk to each other? ”

“A story? We're waiting for our colleagues. ”

"Huh?"

The princess tilted her head.

“Why are you waiting? The other children are waiting for you. ”

“Yes?”

“Ah…. Ah, sorry. I didn't have enough to explain. I've been in charge of the stage for too long, and I keep forgetting that. Really. I was too nerdy to climb down to the constellation. It's almost like a body level in Zrakua.... ”

What are you talking about?

With our fat eyes, the princess clapped her fingers.

[Wonder Girl announces the missing person from stage 33.]

I looked back at the Earl. The Earl was just about to look at me. A deserter? Didn't everyone go well this stage without a deserter?

The princess said.

“If you give up your power completely, or if you fall so far as to never seek it again, you will fall. Simple, isn't it? That's what the Sanwa did on the 32nd floor. On this 33rd floor..."

The tower's voice rings.

[The exile on the 33rd floor is the Earl.]

I opened my eyes wide. The Earl opened his mouth.

The tower was known as if it had already taken a hard dip.

[Remind everyone again.]

[The exile on the 33rd floor is the Earl.]

“Now, wait a minute! That's ridiculous! ”

The Earl said.

He protrudes from his head to the cat's ear.

“Why am I out!? ”

“Hmph, the fairies have given up their power. Now that you're in charge of the Elves, you're out of the game. I know you want to complain, but I owe it to the rules... I'm sorry. ”

“That doesn't make any sense! The fairies have been quiet all along this stage! He didn't participate in the war, didn't spend much power. How do I get out? ”

“What happened is... Hmm. Annoying! See for yourself."

Pimple.

Again, as a funny sound rang, I remembered a video in the air. Are these sound effects set by the constellations themselves? Then you hit the real goal.

- Hmm.

In the video, there are a number of fairies. Everyone has long ears like an elf.

- The designated tribe has become a monster.

- I heard it's a legend, but I can't believe it's a real monster. It's more than I imagined.

The elf elders whisper in their big, deaf ears.

- I thought you lied because you didn't want to be responsible.

- Oh, my God, did you plant it in the expedition? You're a madman.

- He's the one who didn't plant it. What if the expedition general suddenly turns and draws his sword at us? I know you all planted it. Don't be a baby.

- That's right.

- You're right.

- You can't trust them to be your own people. Our faith is too expensive, and our existence is too precious.

My barracks don't tell the commanders what to do, they only excite the spies. This is why it is natural for a sacred expedition or anything to fail.

Mmm-hmm.

I don't know.

It's not like the elegant conversation of the Elves I imagined...

It's a waste of the money we've put into organizing the Alliance.

- I tried to enslave the mountain tribes to find their home.

- This is not the time. The situation is that the Chosen One has emerged as a loser. I've worked hard for hundreds of years to conquer the Birds, but some of the wrong people made a mess. This is when we need to rethink our grand strategy.

Uh, yeah.

I was embarrassed to see the Earl.

“Winner…. No way..."

Thought something like the multifaction alliance couldn't happen on its own. Do you?

The Earl was also embarrassed.

“Joe, I just taught some kids how to make money. ”

“It's not money, it's money. How did you teach your children to grow up in darkness...? ”

“I didn't mean to! I told you! The kids grew up weird. No, this is more of a racial secret. It's a secret. Why are you just showing it to the king? ”

The Earl is angry with the princess.

Oh, my god.

While I was raising the Designated Nation with a pure heart, I was behind the scenes in pursuit of an economic victory. If you hadn't seen this video, you wouldn't have seen it until you cleared 40 floors.

‘Wow, and by the way, I've been on the move, too, haven't I? ’

At the time of the clash with the multiracial coalition forces, the Earl advised me. [Negotiate in the best interest of all races.] I followed his advice into Ubrica's dream.

That is.

“The Earl himself tried to suck the honey out of the trade... How and when did the birds take over again? It's like a ghost.”

“Damn it. I didn't conquer it. I imagined it. It's hard to make ships that live in the water for trade, aren't they? Elves, on the other hand, live in the forest and handle trees... ”

“Oh, my God. Was it a ship the Elves built to trade salt? ”

“I lent it to you, actually. ”

The Earl groans.

“All trade ships driven by the Birds are owned by fairies. Every time I come back and forth, I pay the rent. And all vessels borrowed from fairies are only to be docked in a port operated by fairies... ”

“Ex. How do you do that? ”

“If you dock at the harbor under the fairy hill, you get 30% off the ship tax. I got free repairs... ”

“Wow.”

“And the Sagittarians can swim through the waterways, but they can't supply salt to the town or the city. This was done by the Elves. ”

“If you take an elven ship and use an Elven Harbor, you will, of course, take an Elven Wagon. If the Birds work hard to make salt and transport it to the port... The Elves will be playing around with the margin of distribution in the middle, right? The harder the newborns work, the more free the Elves make? ”

“That's it. ”

I opened my mouth.

What is that?

It's a vicious detail.

“Shangju, it's really... really... real. ”

“You have to take over the platform to make big money! ”

The Earl rises.

“I was just teaching the kids the truth. I don't want that look in your eyes when you raised a pig that didn't know what to do! ”

“No. I just raised them so strongly not to go anywhere and get them. It's pure of heart. ”

“Pure frozen to death and twisted into a mummy. Then I just gave them a little bit of the truth about the world so they don't have to go anywhere and work! ”

“A child needs to suffer and grow up to be right! ”

“Huh. Life is hard when it's hard. What nonsense! ”

“Parents like the trainees have been so cranky lately! ”

“Parents like the Four Kings are making their children sick these days! ”

“Oh, he's really salty. ”

“You're the one who pays the price. ”

“What's wrong with Kim? ”

“Isn't the name full of preponderance! ”

“Holy shit. ”

The princess evaluated our bickering.

“You guys are funny... I miss my mom, too... ”

In the midst of debate over the philosophy of childhood education, the hologram video flowed through.

- Let's take the Allied blade to the designated tribe this time.

- No, the cost is too bad. He's a mountain god. He had a shrine. What do the Designators have? What are you doing eating a settlement full of mud?

- I heard mud is really good for skin...

- Much better, sweetie. I'm not interested.

- I surrender.

The Elves blink.

The Earl and I kept our mouths shut.

- Hmm?

- Surrender, we can't fight and win, and there's nothing to win. There's nothing to get from pouring money, nothing to get from it. No matter what you do, you're underpaid. It's Nagari. We have to sell it cheap.

- Are you out of your mind?

- A new mattress.

Elf Elder said.

- Devote your country to the Designated People. I'm asking for protection.

- Internal Affairs?

- Protection?

- All our ships and ports go under designated mountain ranges. The whole continent is scared of the designees. You'll be safer than you are now by placing the flag of the designated tribe and sailing and trading. She'll be the first to volunteer and be happy, and she'll trust us as long as she's happy. It's almost free to use the name and force of the designator. Escort.

The elders are troubled.

- Are you hitting your head...?

- The cheaper you stick your head in, the more expensive it is.

- Your ego's a little off.

- I'll pay you back for the damage. Don't you just have to make money anyway?

- That's true.

- I pay tribute to the designated people every year. You'll be delighted to hear that you can take 10% off the profits.

It's a little hard, isn't it?

- In fact, you have to give 1% and say 10%. It's okay. None of our kind can handle a double ledger.

- That's also true.

I've never heard of an Elf using double ledgers in my life, but it seemed like a common sense to them.

The elders simply said.

- Yes, we surrender.

- I'm just being domestic.

- What do the designators like? Earth? Would you like some Alluvial Gold?

- What's the reason for surrendering?

- I heard about the guards. They're very ignorant. It's roughly against your wonderful muscles, and we want to live in a land where your muscles are burning, and look, if we have some money, where are your muscles, pathetic seeds will work.

Are you sure it's that ignorant?

- It's a wonder there are such ignorant races, but the more ignorant they are, the easier it will be for us to plant straws, so I just want to thank the sky.

- Thank you, Great Cat.

- Thank you, sir.

- Today we feed on favors under the patron god's care.

- Make money for free tomorrow, like today, and let the workers find straws. Let me suck all the honey in the name of the ship, the land tax, the logistics tax, the distribution tax, the warehouse tax, and all kinds of names. Best regards,

The elders draw a pattern in the air. It looks like a faerie's favorite sign. At one time, their head was all sacred.

"......."

I was silent.

"......."

Even the Earl had to be silent.

“Yes. So they surrendered. ”

The princess smiled.

“They had no interest in real power. They say they're happy when they make money. Seriously. He wants to suck honey because he's parasitic to the Designated Nation forever... Hmm. It was a voluntary surrender, so I dropped it. Do you have any questions?"

“I have a complaint! ”

“I'm sorry. I don't take complaints. ”

[The Earl failed to complete the stage.]

[The Earl is out of the stage!]

“This is preposterous!! ”

The Earl's new stature is blurred.

It'll probably go all the way to the first floor.

“No way! You just taught me how to suck life's honey, so why give up control with it? Power is the end of all power. ”

“Fairies are naturally lacking in greed. I figured out the joy of making money, so I wouldn't need all the rest. I guess you just want to suck honey like you said. ”

“Four, four kings! ”

The Earl reaches out to me.

“Help! Protest with me!" I can't believe you're dropping like this! ”

Mmm-hmm.

Hmmm.

“I'm sorry, Shanzhou. But frankly, it's self-interest. I never called myself Seung-bee, I just said that..."

“No! ”

The erl screams and disappears in the light.

The sound of desperate screams lingers in the air for a moment.

Phew.

The next moment, swordsmanship, black dragon spirit, viper, and paladin were summoned.

The Black Dragons roam around.

“... I just got a little held up this time. Jade Emperor, what happened? ”

I shook my head.

“Nothing happened. So let's move on to the next stage. ”

I will not forget your absurdity. Earl.

Make lots of money.
