Min-hyuk was relieved when he thought that way.

Then he spoke boldly to Kal.

“At first, I felt overwhelmed by the discovery of mercenaries' behavior in the Adventurers' Guild. So I started researching mercenaries, and I learned that the purpose of mercenaries is not to invade Demibeast territory, but to create the Abyssal Forest. ”

“Didn't you plan to inform the guild at that stage? ”

“None.”

“Why?”

Min Hyuk expressing his face in Kal's palace.

“Let me ask you the reverse question. Why do you think we should tell them? Is that your obligation to adventurers? ”

“· · · · · · · Not at all. ”

As Minhyuk said, there was no obligation to do so.

Most adventurers live in pursuit of a free life.

Guild operates with respect for the behavior of such adventurers.

There is no principle to punish or criticize the Adventurers' Guild for their actions.

However, it also needed some excuse to change the minds of adventurers whose fundamental problems were fiercely exposed.

Min-hyuk faced everyone directly, not avoiding everyone's gaze.

“As you all know, I'm just a stranger. The most important thing to me in the world is me and the people around me. The random rate between adventurers and mercenaries is relatively unimportant. ”

“Is that why you're so quiet? ”

“Yes, and I made a deal with them.

“Can you tell me what kind of deal you made? ”

“We funded their pioneering efforts. ”

When Kal heard Minhyuk's words, he thought for a moment and said,

“· · · · · · · · What did I get in return? ”

“After the pioneering activities were successful, I decided to take a portion of the land. ”

“What part are you talking about? ”

“I can't say. ”

“How much did you apply for? ”

“I also can't say. ”

Minhyuk revealed the fundamental score of the deal between himself and the mercenaries, but did not reveal the detailed scale.

Leaking more information about the contract with mercenaries is appealing and refusing to relinquish your loyalty.

On the other hand, there was a need to hide what the adventurers in front of you were getting paid.

“I see.”

Kal sighs deeply and thinks for a moment.

And after a little silence, Kal told Min-hyuk.

“I don't like what you've done, to be honest. ”

“ · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Min Hyuk didn't answer.

The opponent also wanted an answer, so he just kept saying what he wanted to say.

“But it's true that we're having a lot of fun in the Demibeast realm when we look at things calmly. And even if they did take off, even though the mercenaries had successfully embarked on their pioneering activities, they'd already been using us enough. ”

“Fuck. ”

Hearing Kal's words, Sera grits her teeth and spits out insults.

And he said as if Kal had made his decision.

“Maybe it's better to stick together until the end than to get off in the middle. But not on these terms. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“If we continue to act and fight Demibeasts, the relatively mercenaries will benefit from nothing. I'm a nasty, middle-aged man, so I can't just stand by and watch. ”

“ · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I want a price. If we profit from mercenaries in exchange for our blood, we shall be rewarded in our own way. ”

In Kal's words, Min-hyuk sighed.

“You want me to negotiate with mercenaries for a price. ”

“It's just you, isn't it? ”

Adventurer and mercenary are usually bad friends. However, Min-hyuk is also the investor who funded the mercenaries' plans.

Then only Min-hyuk can negotiate on behalf of the adventurers now.

“Very well. I'll do it. ”

After Min Hyuk accepted, Kal wiped his heavy expression and smiled.

“Good luck. ”

“It will be a difficult negotiation. As I understand it, the land distribution of the frontier is almost over, and there aren't many cards that we can present to them. As Kal said, the mercenaries have benefited enough just by destroying Demibeast territory. ”

“That, too. Then I'll let you take a card in favour of the negotiation. ”

And Kal said something to Min-hyuk.

“Is that true? ”

“When I'm old enough, I keep my ears open. You're probably right. You think you can handle it? ”

“Very well. I'll see what I can do." ”

That concludes the meeting of Class A adventurers.

The conclusion ended with a hold, but in fact, it was up to Minhyuk to decide whether this expedition should continue.

If Min-hyuk succeeds in getting something out of the deal with the mercenaries, the adventurers' expedition will continue, otherwise this expedition will be over.

After the meeting, Sera came to Min-hyuk.

“Hey."

“Why are you calling me? ”

“Uh-huh. First of all, sorry. ”

“ · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Serra scratches her head and apologizes with an embarrassed look on her face.

“I'm a bitch who's always been a little cranky, so I cry seven times a day. So I put my teeth up in the middle. However. ”

Sarah smiled at Min-hyuk, expressing her indiscretion.

“When I think about what you said to Uncle Kal, I don't think you betrayed me like that Ryan bastard." I took your bowl of rice, but I don't have the right to give a shit. I'm sorry for cursing. ”

Min-hyuk said that he felt more comfortable when he laughed.

“As an apology, it's okay to hit. Do you want to play?”

“It's okay. It's okay. ”

“Really? Do you want to do that? ”

“· · · · · · · · · · No, that too · · ·. ”

“What are you missing when you want to get to know someone a little better? Taking me off is pretty cool. ”

“ · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

She's so free, isn't she? ’

It was Sarah who felt like she was an unbearable woman.

Min-hyuk tried to contact mercenaries on behalf of the adventurers.

Fortunately, the line itself was smooth.

Through Kim Chul-soo from Tu-Sod, I met the mercenaries smoothly.

Ten mercenary commanders gathered, including Chul-soo Kim from the temporary barracks.

In a look that was never favorable, Min-hyuk said without hesitation.

“I'm Park Min-hyuk. I'm here on behalf of the adventurers. ”

Min-hyuk introduced himself, but the commanders of the mercenary army are just making a frowning face. I didn't say anything back.

At the very least, Kim Chul-soo, who has a face and Min Hyuk, said to Min Hyuk.

“You mean you're here on behalf of the adventurers? We have business to attend to." ”

“That's right, Director Kim. ”

“Speak comfortably. ”

Kim Chul-soo created a slightly better atmosphere, and Min Hyuk opened his mouth in front of everyone.

“I'm going to cut to the chase without spinning. Our adventurers want to actively cooperate in this pioneering activity. ”

“Being actively cooperative · · ·. ”

“What a ridiculous thing to say. ”

The mercenaries made a blatant mockery of Minhyuk's words.

‘That's what makes it sticky. ’

If the target to be negotiated has hostility, easy negotiation difficulty will increase.

However, negotiation itself was more difficult in the case of Minhyuk, so the work had to be more difficult.

But not all mercenaries ridiculed.

A strong young mercenary commander told Min-hyuk.

“What if adventurers cooperate in pioneering activities? How do you cooperate and at what cost? ”

The leader of the mercenaries who spoke to Min-hyuk was a foreigner like Min-hyuk and Kim Chul-soo.

He looked a little older than Min-hyuk, but still looked like he was in his mid-20s.

“Excuse me, what's your name and affiliation? ”

“This is a member of the Lyons Mercenary Corps. ”

‘Jeong In-ung · · · ·. Ah! That's him. ’

Min-hyuk was a person who had heard the name.

He was a fairly successful man among foreigners as the leader of a rather small mercenary army in Rutgard, although smaller than Tucson.

For reference, Min-hyuk remembered that the name of the mercenaries was the same as the baseball team.

Among the Gentiles, it was often the case that the name of Earth's civilization was given to the right to live.

Min-hyuk knew that some mercenaries were named after sports stars or celebrities.

And the name of Minhyuk's building was Gangnam without telling anyone else.

After all, thanks to the name Lyons, the man who remembered Min-hyuk was Jung Myung Woong.

“Thank you for asking. Chief Jeong In Ung.I 'm talking about the support from our Adventurers' Guild · ·. Even if we intervene in the pioneering activity itself, it doesn't seem to matter. So we're going to take action in the Abyssal Forest around the Pioneers and we're going to fight the Demibeasts to keep the Pioneers safe first. ”

At Minhyuk's words, some of the mercenaries blatantly laughed at him.

“You're making a move. ”

“Isn't the battle with the Demibeasts already for your purposes? I know you had a good time this time. ”

“Why should we think of you as indebted to your original activities? ”

Min-hyuk spoke boldly to the nagging of mercenaries.

“But that makes you a little bit more stable in your pioneering activities, right? ”

“That's none of our business, right? We didn't officially ask you to do that, did we? ”

‘I did spill information to make it so. ’

Min-hyuk thought that through the words of the mercenary, but he didn't put it out of his mouth.

There was no evidence. It was just more and more trouble.

“That's right. ”

So Min-hyuk just admitted it. And I immediately spoke to the mercenaries.

“But as long as your pioneering activities continue, we are no longer motivated to continue fighting Demibeasts. at least for free. ”

At the words of Min-hyuk, mercenaries said as if they expected it.

“Then why don't you just back off? ”

“We don't regret it very much. This is a pioneer that has already begun preparing for all. It doesn't matter if you're out now. ”

In fact, the plans of the mercenaries had already succeeded.

Demibeast territory adjacent to Rootkart has already been destroyed as adventurers sweep through the weakened Demibeast Realm.

In fact, the Demibeast attack was completely silent while mercenaries gathered and set up camp to embark on pioneering activities.

So there was nothing to be sorry about.

Even if a subsequent attack comes from here, they are prepared to stop it.

Min-hyuk also knew the situation of such mercenaries. But · · ·.

Here you have a card that the mercenaries can swing.

“If you don't need our strength, we're ready to back off at any time. In fact, I have nothing to lose. ”

Several mercenaries nodded at Min-hyuk's words.

Min-hyuk thought to himself, not missing the sight.

‘There are those who know that I funded this pioneering activity. Well, I didn't ask you to keep it a secret. ’

At least those who nod now know that Min-hyuk is not a complete stranger.

So, from now on, I won't just look at what Min-hyuk is saying.

“But I'm afraid we're going to have to step back. I heard Berg is leading his own team on a journey · ·. Please be careful. ”

Min-hyuk said this and the mercenaries' faces changed greatly.

“Berk?”

“What did you just say? ”

The mercenary's expression intensifies with the name Berk.
