344th episode
Jae-ho is standing in front of the manager.
The atmosphere of Jae-ho in armor was quite harsh, but ironically, it was less threatening than when he was naked.
All the powerful title effects from the main edition were covered a little by armor that hid the identity.
Instead, Jae-ho's conversation became difficult to use.
But regardless of armor, there was one great skill that affected the conversation with the opponent.
[Your body always feels fragrant.]
[Effects: Get a favorability buff from NPCs except the devil.]
The strong scent, which cannot be stopped by armor, affected the manager.
"Huh?"
It's scary... ...but I don't hate it.
I've been looking at it...….
'He might not be that bad?!’
A more dramatic effect than usual.
It was the real power of the aroma effect, which had been suppressed by Jae-ho's title and notoriety.
[The other party has a good feeling for you.]
'Okay.
Finally a positive notification came to mind.
"Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm gonna take a moment..”
"No, thanks."
Jae-ho gently spoke to his flustered opponent with courtesy.
"You must have misunderstood our looks. But as I said, we are adventurers working for people living in the blind spots of monsters all over the continent."
"Oh, is that so? Why would you have to...….”
He was also a catch-up manager, but his tone has changed.
Big Thunder used to be full of doubts, but now it's full of wonder.
"Someone has to do it. That's my promise to myself."
"Ah!"
Tears stood around his eyes.
He was deeply moved by Jae-ho's words.
He's such a... I feel like I'm playing games whenever I see them.’
Watching from the shadows, Taylor grumbled.
Until now, I have often seen Jae-ho slip the situation through words.
Most of them thought they were redolent in appearance, but it still worked even now when they hid their identity, so it was impossible to understand.
How can a few words that aren't so great work like that? Do you have any hypnotic skills?’
He suspected that there might be something he didn't know, but he could say he got half right.
From the moment I talked to him, Jae-ho was secretly using his hypnosis skills.
The effect was immediate because the opponent was an ordinary NPC.
"I'm sorry. I took your time without recognizing the great people. I'll be sure to help you take care of it."
“…….”
Big Thunder and Uram were at a loss for words when it was solved in vain.
Unlike Taylor, they've never seen it go this way.
"Then have a good time in the kingdom of Lenga!"
a group of people who went to the conference to see off by a manager
The primary difficulty that just occurred was well overcome, but in fact that was not the only problem.
Currently, Jaeho and his team are the best-looking.
The countless gaze watching from afar was a sure memory of them.
Some wizards even turn pale with the subtle scent that came out as Jae-ho passed by.
'This... this familiar smell......... where did I smell it?’
I can't remember, but my body reacts to the scary scents.
Those who had met Jae-ho in the past were shivering at the lingering reverberation of memories.

Golden hawk in the information of the back alleys of the Runga Kingdom.
The Hwanggo gambling house, a key hub of the golden hawk, was crowded today with people dreaming of a hopeful future.
And in the high-end room made out of their hopes, Retney, the owner of the golden hawk and the owner of the Imperial Palace, was meeting an important guest.
"Well, long time no see. I think I saw you for the last time when you were a rookie, but you've grown so big that you're facing me.”
The opponent is Dessie, who was the leader of the third division of the Red Balloon Rassel Kingdom.
But now he has been treated as the most powerful man except for boss Red Balloon, whom no one knows about.
No. 2 in Red Balloon, in name and substance.
"No, I'm just a little green compared to you."
"Hoo-hoo, you're modest. You're the first person that Red Balloon suggested as the No. 2 man.”
In fact, however, there was nothing special about being the No. 2 man.
Although he had a lot of treatment and decision-making rights in the organization, this was only because he was in charge of dealing with the Alsia tycoon.
But even Rhettney could not grasp the details.
Because of that, I had a different misunderstanding.
"The Red Balloon, who hid his identity even though it was an organization with his own name, presented the second-in-command he had never been before....... does that mean something has happened to Red Balloon?"
Rhettney muttered to himself and sniffed at Dessie.
Information on Red Balloon, the king of the back alleys of the Rasel Kingdom, has long been anxious to get information from informants.
Of course, Rhettney was no exception.
Since it is based in the neighboring kingdom, it has been working with Red Balloon since the past.
But it was never an eternal alliance.
If the price is enough, they should sell information about the alliance.
It was unclear when the golden hawk and the Red Balloon would lose Chuck.
But at least the golden hawk couldn't hit the back of his head first.
The reason is, Red Balloon knows the golden hawk's boss, Rhettney doesn't know the identity of the Red Balloon.
It could be said that it was a fight that had already been stopped.
Since the disappearance of Axpace, which had recently been a powerful force across the continent, overnight, all information sources have been hoping to grow into the center of a new giant information organization.
Retney had such a dream, but he couldn't go out of his way because he was closest to the Red Balloon, along with the danger above.
'Now... give me a reaction.’
Retney also had great ability as the head of the golden hawk.
His eyes analyzed every minute change in Desi.
The moment even a fine crack is visible, he will get a new hint about the Red Balloon.
But... ...
"Huh, that's great.”
Retney said with a big grin.
"What? What's all of a sudden...…?”
I'm embarrassed by Rhettney's significant question. a ready-to-be-complimented dish
"I see why you're the No. 2 Red Balloon. That's a great performance. He looked like he really didn't know anything.
It was only natural.
Because you didn't know anything you actually ate.
"All right, all right. I've lost. When you get back, please tell him this Retney is still waiting for a meeting with Red Balloon."
"Oh, I see."
a sudden crisis
"So why come so suddenly?"
Finally, Retney asked the purpose of Dessie's visit.
"It's... because of the nobles who fled the kingdom of Rasel."
"Well, I've heard that some of the rebel nobles have come to the Kingdom of Lunga. But why would Red Balloon be curious about that? Is it a request from the Rasel Kingdom? Then we can't help. "You would know that the golden hawk had an intelligence treaty with the Runga Kingdom."
"Is that so?"
At that moment, Dessie's eyes shone sharply.
A passionate man who used to make fists before words is the man of the past.
Dessie, who became skilled in dealing with Jae-ho, found a weakness in Rhettney's story.
"The fact that the information treaty with the Kingdom of Lunga is preventing you from giving information to the nobles, in other words, sounds to me that the kingdom of Lenga has something to do with the rebellion of the Kingdom of Lassel...….”
"Hmm?"
Retney looks like he's had a shot.
"But you don't have to worry. It's not a request from the Rasel Kingdom, it's an information deal between the Golden Falcons and the Red Balloon."
"Trade.... ...then Red Balloon must have brought something appetizing, too, right?
"What do you want to know?"
Dipsy didn't say first.
He was going to adjust the conditions he had prepared according to Retney's request.
But Retney's requirements were bigger and more straightforward than expected.
"I want to know about Alsia the Great."
“?!”
"I know that Red Balloon has a very close relationship with the great Alsia. You know how difficult it is to gather information on Immodalians in the first place. It's not even easy to get close to Alsia the Great."
"You want the information of the great Alsia King Alcia...….”
"Hoo-hoo, what are you doing? The biggest customer of the golden hawk has been wanting it since the last Dragon crisis.”
"...the kingdom of Runga."
At the time of Ogik Reid, the kingdom of Runga, which was properly sullen, has yet to give up its revenge on Jaeho.
Part of the territory was destroyed, and the dragon carcass was swallowed up without any reward, even though it caused so much damage.
It is said that the territory of the brown bear country was acquired, but it was not easy to make good use of it because of the serious pollution.
But Dessie couldn't pass on the information about Alsia.
"Isn't information a place that sells anything if it pays enough?"
"You're right. But I can't handle the information about King Alsia. It's because Redballoon's authority has made it absolutely forbidden."
Jaeho was the consideration of Loonior, who would never know.
"Well, that's not funny. That's all I want from you, and this is how a deal can be made?"
"I'm sorry, but if you don't...….”
knock, knock
Then someone knocked on the door where the two were.
"Who is it?"
"Lord, there's a problem down there."
He came to the gambling place as a manager.
"I'm sure you told me not to interrupt because we were talking about something important...….”
"I'm sorry! But at this rate, at least three months' worth of income will be damaged!"
"What? Does that make sense?”
But it actually happened.
"Do, Dosin! A man named Dosin Angler is sweeping the gambling house!"
"Cough?"
Dessie's rough cough heard its name.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Oh, no. I've been feeling a little chilly lately, and I've been...….”
He said so, but the name "Angler" continued to hover in his head.
'What the hell is that name for here?'
The name of a demon that was apparently robbed and killed by Jae-ho in the past.
But it was not a common name, so I thought it would never be a coincidence.
And anxiety at the same time...….

Huango gambling house, which boasts the largest scale in the Lunga kingdom.
A total of five-story buildings and up to three-story gambling houses were built, and it was a place where money came and went as much as its size.
But today only one person was collecting money from the gambling house.
"Well, that's him!"
Standing on the railing on the third floor, Retney looked at a giant article at the center of the incident.
The piled-up chips next to it were telling why the janitor was making a fuss.
"Well, you don't look like a gambler at all."
"But we've been undefeated for two hours, winning every game. People around me are already complaining and afraid that I'm an outsider."

a nimble hand in a card
I couldn't believe he was wearing armor.
"What a scary guy. You've decided that you'll gain more than that, even though it would be a loss to you to wear such an uncomfortable outfit.”
Retney analyzed him with a cool look.
"He covered his face by using his pitches and intimidated his opponent by creating a sense of hypocrisy. Of course, even if you do that, it would be a disaster if you lacked your skills. But that doesn't seem to mean anything to him.”
Retney's highly acclaimed middle-aged Taoist Angler.
But the throat of the food I saw from the side was burning.
'That atmosphere, that big... Handwork....'
It was never unrecognizable.
With a bit of exaggeration, he was the teacher who taught the author the rules of the card game.
