A petition from 54 adventurers

“So, what request did you receive?”

An adventurer asked again. Everyone seems to have high expectations for the movements they just showed.

“I killed some goblins, asked for an escort, and did one in Scanden.”

“what? with that? Isn’t it gura?”

“It worked because I did it.”

“If it’s a goblin, can it be that it’s non-skinny?”

The air grew chilly at the muttering of an adventurer. Bimarn was decimated by giant monsters and black goblins just a few days ago. There are still many people who have not come out of that shock.

“They’re not the strange ones in those rumors, they were just goblins, although there were a bit more of them when I was around.”

“How many were there?”

“I killed over 150 on the last day, but I don’t know. Oh, it was a party of four. Even so, I can’t kill myself like that.”

“Hey! 150! Were there really that many?”

“It will be right. I heard from someone I know that there are too many goblins, and some die. He said he was scared too, so he did it right.”

“This is going to be a big deal!”

The atmosphere returned and everyone was busy bragging about themselves. Even a madman who boasted that he had cut his wrists in the troll slaughter party came out and booed everyone by throwing pieces of bread or fruit they were eating.

“So, how far do you think it will go?”

“The day after tomorrow at the earliest, maybe four days at the longest. If it’s delayed any more than that, it’s a situation where we can’t contact you.”

Hyeonjun calmly replied to Glenn’s question. Pretending not to be the adventurers around them, he quietly listened.

“Any negotiations?”

“Six fairy tales per animal, and the mark is the tail. Based on product, leather is a fairy tale of 18, the average price of lodging is a fairy tale of 8, and beer is a fairy tale.”

“Aren’t you bending over too much?”

“If you do more, I won’t accept it, even out of pride. A day is wasted if negotiations break down, and being too late isn’t good for either side.”

“What if you hold on to the end?”

“At that time, we should settle down in a place where you can see the Red Forest Village. If the situation gets worse, we won’t be able to send people. Even if the village chief yells at you, the villagers will accept it in order to live.”

At that, everyone nodded. Carl let out a big sigh of relief involuntarily. Because he really thought Hyeon-joon would let all the villagers die. At first, Hyeon-joon, too blinded by anger, put the lives of the villagers in the Red Forest on the scales, but he regained his composure and decided that it was not necessary to do so. Not because of motherf*ckers, but because of innocent people like Emma and Steen. And Hyunjoon added.

“It depends on what kind of guys the D-class party is, but if things go well, we can continue.”

“why?”

“Even a D-class party was tricked after all. If we just go back, the request will be destroyed, but we have already sent the petition, and we can justify the D-class party. It may differ from the petition, but depending on the request fee, the party can withdraw altogether or cancel the nomination request and kill the three-eyed gnoll with a regular request. Even if they made a party with talented people, they wouldn’t be able to say nonsense that they would clear the forest by themselves after seeing the three-eyed play.”

“Did you even think about that? Great.”

“Looking at it, that’s how it turned out.”

At Hyeonjun’s words, the adventurers chatted among themselves. Hyeon-jun stared blankly at the campfire, then robbed himself of his seat and stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“Go wash up.”

“You act like a real girl.”

“I know…”

“sorry! Sorry!”

Leaving Carl’s voice behind, Hyeon-jun walked along the wooden fence in the village and approached the river. The robber who seemed peaceful during the day, but when the sun went down, it seemed mysteriously dark inside and seemed to be dragged into it. Hyeonjun approached without hesitation, took off his gauntlets and gloves, washed his hands and face, and rinsed his mouth. And I sat by the river and watched the boats pass by. The boat runs even at this late hour. But at night, the wind changes direction, so there are only boats going down the river. Hyeon-jun looked at it for a while, then jumped up and went back to the campsite. There is one more thing that comes to mind.

“What else?”

“I’m just trying to get in, do you have any problems?”

“That’s not it…”

When Hyeon-jun and about a dozen adventurers tried to enter the village, guards blocked them. However, there was no reason to block entry, so I had no choice but to let him in. Hyeon-jun led the adventurers and went straight to the pier, put down his luggage and sat on it.

“What, what?”

“I’m just trying to sit down, so don’t worry about it.”

Hyeon-joon said calmly to the panicked guard. The guard glanced at them, but when they didn’t do anything, he put his reluctance behind and went back to his post. And a boat came up downstream and stopped. When people got off and saw armed men who appeared to be adventurers among them, Hyeon-jun signaled.

“hey! there!”

One adventurer raised his hand and shouted loudly. Those who had just gotten off the ship looked back, and the adventurers who met their eyes pointed their fingers at their breasts.

“okay! Colleagues there! If you’re going to go to the Red Forest Village, just leave because it’s open!”

“Hey, what are you doing!”

The guard approached in surprise, but other adventurers quickly walked in and blocked his way.

“What are you talking about?”

“Three-eyed play X count! Dozens have already died! We ran away because we knew it too!”

The adventurer looked suspicious for a moment, but there’s no reason for more than ten adventurers to waste their time idling around on the pier and f*cking other adventurers. Eventually he nodded and got back on board.

“thanks!”

“okay! Don’t die!”

The atmosphere at the pier suddenly deteriorated. The people who got off the boat are groaning and not knowing what to do.

“This, this, that! Bar, get in the way!”

“What kind of hindrance? We weren’t lying.”

“No, that’s…”

As the guard hesitated, some of the people who got off the boat whispered and got back on board. The Red Forest Village is right in front of the riverside village, and if there are monsters dangerous enough to kill dozens of adventurers, the riverside village is not safe either. Those who approached the commotion at the pier also hurriedly moved their seats after realizing that the situation was not serious due to the guard’s reaction. In the meantime, the two villages were working together to manipulate the information, and it was destroyed at once. If one adventurer had shouted like that, everyone would have ignored it, but since the overheated people shouted with one voice, the power could not be ignored.

“Are you saying something wrong? More than ten people died while I was in Red Forest Village alone.”

“I’ll call the captain of the guard!”

“Is that so?”

Now, people who had been getting off the boat began scrambling to get back into the boat. It’s only been a week since Bimarn, where the land bordered, was destroyed by goblins. The shock has not gone away yet, and the only people who step into the dangerous place are adventurers, mercenaries, and merchants who want to take advantage of this situation to make a big deal. And they are forced to flee as the threat right now is gnawing at their throat with their teeth.

As time passed, word spread, and travelers and merchants from Ganga Village began to gather at the pier. They waited impatiently for the boat to come and started pushing and pulling to get to the pier. In that gap, there were people who tried to sneak into other people’s pockets, and there were people who were pushed and fell into the river, and a fight broke out in an instant. Hyeon-jun slipped out of the confusion with the adventurers and headed back to the entrance of the village.

“What are you doing!”

“Did we do anything wrong?”

“You did not disturb the village!”

“We were just passing on information for our partners.”

The captain of the guard shook his beard, but there was nothing he could do. Normally, these cheeky bastards would be arrested on various charges, but they couldn’t be touched because of the adventurers who had settled down outside. Hyunjoon smiled and showed his ID card in front of him.

“I think we did something wrong, but I’ll get out of here quickly, so could you open the door for me?”

In the end, the captain of the guard had no choice but to open the door again, and Hyeon-jun and the adventurers entered the camp with leisurely steps.

“how was it? Are you okay?”

“It was very sh*tty. Rumors will now spread along the Senten River. Even those who tried to come to Ganga Village would run away. Merchants will pass by, but they will not intend to stay in the village for long.”

Ganga Village is a village developed by using the Senten River. If this information spreads, few people will dare to visit the dangerous Ganga Village, and it will be a huge blow to the Ganga Village, which has been making money with people. Hyeon-jun, who caused irreversible damage to two villages in just two days, did not mind him. The intensity of the rage, which surprised even himself, made him run furiously. It seems that this anger will subside only after the village of Red Forest surrenders. But after realizing it, I wasn’t just swept away by anger. He was constantly thinking, erasing, re-planning and drawing the big picture.

“There is nothing to do right now until someone is sent from the Red Forest Village. Rest in peace, everyone.”

At Hyeonjun’s words, the adventurers scattered and each returned to his seat. At first, I grumbled that I didn’t like camping, but since we’re all together like this, we don’t have to stay vigil, and we can save on lodging costs, so everyone thinks it’s pretty good. In addition, with the strong charisma that Hyun-joon showed on the first night, even if there were minor quarrels, there were no people who had accidents, so the atmosphere was good. However, Hyeon-jun himself only thinks that he is fortunate because the adventurers listened to him unexpectedly.

Eventually, after spending another day like that, a person came from the Red Forest Village. A man of about thirty or forty came on horseback, and he rode so fast that as soon as the man got off the horse, the horse collapsed, gasping for breath and not moving. The man was also exhausted, panting and staggering, only to stand upright.

“I am from the Red Forest Village. Let’s negotiate.”

“I have a special guest, but I can’t talk outside. Let’s go into town.”

When the five adventurers, led by Hyeon-jun and Glenn, and the lion of the Red Forest village approached the village entrance, the guards opened the door first.

“ha ha ha! Now that your face is a little ripe, open it first!”

The guards trembled with bright red faces at Hyeon-jun’s grinning words, but they couldn’t do anything. Hyeon-jun walked through the empty streets without hesitation and went in search of a pub. The tavern owner jumped up to greet the guests, but stopped when he saw the adventurers and the lion of the Red Forest Village.

“One beer at a time.”

Hyeonjun sat down and talked, and the negotiation table opened at once. The man held out his hand.

“This is Haim.”

Hyunjoon’s eyebrows twitched. Carl, who followed, also widened his eyes in surprise.

“It’s Jun.”

Hyeon-jun calmly shook his hand, leaned back in his chair, and took a sip of beer. He is Emma’s husband. The village chief is counting.

“I will be straightforward. The Red Forest Village will actively accommodate the adventurers’ requests as long as they are not excessive, and will not be a problem in the future.”

“How good would it have been if it had been like this sooner?”

Haim lowered his head with a melancholy face. When I think of Emma, I feel apologetic, but Hyun-joon said calmly.

“How far have you been thinking in the first place?”

Hyeonjun requested a preemption. Traditionally, the pre-emption of exposing the opponent’s hand first is a fun event that cannot be missed from the point of view of the player. ‘How long have you been looking for it?’, ‘How long are you going to live?’ Anyone who has heard this and has negotiated a price knows how dogmatic it is.

Haim took the parchment out of his pocket and handed it to Hyeonjun. As Hyeon-jun received it and opened it, the adventurers peeked out from behind.

“Ah, don’t be really out of shape and stay calm.”

As he raised his toes to look at the parchment, Carl grabbed the adventurers by the backs and pulled them out. Hyeonjun read through the parchment, rolled it up again, and put it on the table.

“I tried to just accept it, but I just can’t. Negotiations are broken. Please tell the village chief.”

“for a moment! The town is in danger!”

“As dangerous as the village is, we have to fight those dangerous guys. Haim, I know you’re not meant to be treated like this. Eight fairy tales must have been uploaded because the villagers noticed. But Red Forest Village has gone too far.”

No matter how much Haim and Emma try to get a small amount of lodging expenses, the villagers collude to raise the price, but they cannot receive guests at a drop in price alone. The village community will attack you like a dog and bite you. Eight fairy tales would have been the most conscientious thing they could do.

“Last night the entrance to the village was breached! I somehow managed to block the entrance and set fire to make it through the day, but tonight they’re coming into town!”

“But is this all you can do?”

As the adventurers whispered behind him, Hyeonjun picked up the parchment again and handed it to the back. The adventurers hurriedly opened it and one read it aloud.

“Five fairy tales for each three-eyed game. Thirteen fairy tales of commodity leather, six yawns. Free access to the village and one piece of bread a day.”

“Not crazy!”

“Haim, do you have the right to negotiate with us?”

“that is···. I was told to just pass on parchment and words…”

Haim said with a pale face. He’s big and has a shaggy beard, but he looks pitiful when he says he doesn’t know what to do with a cold sweat.

“The village chief is a real son of a b*tch.”

Carl murmured. Haim probably didn’t even know what the parchment was about. Moreover, he has no right to negotiate. Desperate for his family right now, Haim will try to convince them even by kneeling down and begging. Hyeonjun took out the parchment from his bosom and unfolded it. He reached out, and Glenn handed him a pen and ink. Hyeon-jun added one more line at the bottom of the parchment on which their request was written.
