thousand eyes

After walking down the street to Haim’s house, Hyeon-jun greeted Emma on the first floor and went up to his room. After taking good care of the armor and sword, grinding and oiling, and packing up, it was getting dark outside. When you go down to the first floor to have dinner, the savory aroma spreads.

“Oh, are you here? sit down, sit down.”

“If anyone sees it, they’ll know it’s your house.”

Hyeonjun, who was sitting next to the beckoning knife, bowed to Haim, who was sitting across from him. Haim still seemed awkward with Hyun-joon, but he greeted them and raised the tableware. The meal was delicious, as Steen said. Now, in addition to the stew and bread we are accustomed to coming from anywhere, we also had a little bit of grilled meat. The meal ended in a soft atmosphere with Steen’s chirping stories in the background.

Hyeon-jun packed only his Gambison and longsword and headed to the pub with the knife. Everyone looked at Carl with envy and cursed at him, probably already talking about the money he earned today.

“That bee child! It sucks honey very sweetly!”

“Ah, if you twist it, you guys do too!”

“Boo!”

The inside of the tavern was crowded with adventurers, so the atmosphere heated up. After killing the three-eyed gnoll today, everyone realized that even a single one could make a lot of money. Even if you catch just one fish, you draw a profit, and even if you drink a lot of alcohol, you still have money. But you can’t stop drinking. The tavern owner also lowered the price of beer, but he is smiling because the number of adventurers has increased and he has made more money. Hyeon-jun also drank beer while talking to other adventurers at the tavern, washed up at Haim’s house, and slept soundly.

After spending two days like that, and receiving the request fee at the reception desk, Glenn suddenly called and stopped Hyun-jun, who was about to leave.

“Jun, can we talk to you for a minute?”

“However much.”

Glenn suddenly said to Hyeonjun. Hyeon-joon wondered what was going on, but he readily agreed, thinking that Glenn would not have wanted to arrange a place for nothing.

“See you at the tavern later.”

“Okay.”

Hyeonjun nodded and left the reception desk. I couldn’t tell what was going on, but I could see the determination on Glenn’s face. Maybe it’s not a light story. But even if it’s a heavy story, I can’t get a feel for it at all. It wasn’t long before they knew each other, and they didn’t talk much.

‘Let’s meet and think.’

As usual, after servicing the weapons in the room and finishing the meal, the knife came out as if it were natural.

“Are you going to the tavern?”

“Uh, because Glenn asked to see me.”

“Glenn? Hmm…”

Glenn, whom I had seen for several days, was serious and thoughtful, so I didn’t think he would have called it lightly, but I couldn’t guess the knife. Hyeon-jun headed to the bar with Carl. At the tavern that was lit up after the sun went down, a lot of adventurers were gathering and drinking happily.

“June.”

“Glenn.”

Glenn, who was sitting there, gestured to Hyeonjun. Hyeon-jun handed the bar owner a fairy tale, got a beer, and approached him. Carl looked at the atmosphere and fell in moderation. Well, it’s hard to say that I fell for it, but I’m already pouring beer with excitement among other guys. Glenn raised his glass to Hyeonjun, who answered each and every adventurer greeting and finally sat down.

“First, take a sip.”

“Good.”

They clinked glasses and drank each other’s beers. Neither of them drank much. An important story will come and go, but you can’t hit one shot ignorantly.

“So, what are you doing sitting in a dark place like this and talking?”

Glenn was sitting at a table in the corner of the tavern. There was a lot of dust and the table was dirty, probably because no one sat there. But that much, other people didn’t even pay attention to them. You could tell at a glance that Glenn was about to bring up an important story.

“mmm…”

However, Glenn couldn’t bring himself to speak and tilted his beer glass once more. Hyeon-jun thought the story would be long, so he gestured to the tavern owner and ordered a simple side dish. Glenn silently tilted his beer glass until the tavern owner brought snacks, and then opened his mouth cautiously when Hyun-joon started to eat them.

“I saw what you did before.”

“what kind of thing?”

“The adventurers gathered and negotiated with the Red Forest Village.”

“hmm.”

“It was only then that I realized that there was a problem with the treatment of adventurers. And also about the guild staff.”

Hyunjoon quietly tilted his glass.

“From C-class adventurers onwards, they touch quite a bit of money. If people around me say that I am a C-class adventurer, they will give me a big boost. However, if there is no party up to D-class, it is normal to call them goblins like the village chief here and ignore them and try to eat them.”

Hyeonjun also agrees. It was because there were a lot of guys who looked at each angle to stab him in the back just because he was F or E rank, even though he was wearing armor, he was tall, and his spirit was unusual.

“The same goes for the guild staff. It doesn’t matter where they are in the city, but those dispatched to a village like this are often threatened by adventurers, and pointed at by the villagers for embezzling money.”

It seems that the guild staff also have their own difficulties. Well, what in the world is there to be comfortable with?

“At that time, I realized that the adventurers and dispatched guild staff had to work together in order to be treated as a single person.”

“So what do you want from me?”

“I want to create an organization to improve the treatment of adventurers and guild staff.”

“…”

“For a group to be formed, there must be a head.”

Hyunjoon quietly tilted his glass. There are already very few left. Glenn looked at Hyeonjun with eyes that shimmered in light. There, as a human being, there was a fervent determination to raise one’s fist for the things one should enjoy.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”

“why?”

“I have to keep going. And I’m too scared to step into such a dangerous position.”

“I couldn’t have done this without you. see You made them raise their voices and shout with one voice, and make them laugh and chat together. Look at how great your work is. You alone saved so many people.”

Glenn gestured to the inside of the tavern and said with glowing eyes. Hyunjoon met his eyes with a calm expression.

“No one can do that. nobility? They have no interest in adventurers. It doesn’t matter if it’s B or A grade. Even they are just knives that are good to use and throw away. Adventurer’s Guild? Guilds are like mosquitoes that simply attract people who don’t know anything into the guild and suck up the fees. The guild will not care whether the adventurer dies or not. Even after reading the petition, rather than being sorry for the deaths of the adventurers, you will be alert to the adventurers joining hands. No one holds out a hand for them. Someone has to step in and lead them. Someone must draw their swords and shout how strong they can be together. can’t be without you Please lead them.”

Hyunjoon put down the glass of beer he had drunk. And he spoke calmly.

“I just let my rage move.”

“Didn’t everything go according to your plan?”

“I have priority over other adventurers.”

“If that’s the case, there’s no reason to gather adventurers. Because I have skills.”

“It could hang itself.”

“If we work together, we will not dare to touch it.”

“When the scale grows, the nobles will come out.”

“…”

“If the nobles start using their hands, they will all be hanged, and rather, the restrictions on adventurers will be strengthened. Recognition will also deteriorate. I will not let those who know how to fight unite.”

Glenn emptied his beer glass in one gulp and stared at the fly caught in the bowl on the table.

“Glen, I know you’ve made a really big decision for them. But if you act hastily, you’ll just die. It may be best to give notice with a petition.”

“I… I, like you, can’t figure out what’s going to happen after that. The same goes for them. i need you If you lead us, we will surely do it.”

“I cannot speak for them. Because you are standing elsewhere.”

Glenn shook his head. Hyeon-joon’s eyes widened in shock and anger.

“You must know the hardships of F- and E-class adventurers. however!”

Glenn’s shout was drowned out by the noisy adventurers. I looked around for a moment, but no one paid attention.

“There are circumstances that cannot be said. I have to keep hitting and climbing, and I can’t fight with the nobles.”

Even when I put my name on the petition, it is Hyun-jun who put my name a little lower than the middle, not the front. Even if it seems like they are just going out, they are saving themselves.

Glen gritted it. The clenched fist on the table trembled pitifully.

“how how···!”

“Jung Then, isn’t it okay for you to do your hair?”

“I didn’t say it was impossible for me!”

“Then try to get help from those who can.”

“Who would reach out to something like this!”

“Not all the people you try to protect are stupid idiots.”

“…”

“And a temple, too.”

“···her.”

“This is for adventurers who are dying due to unfair treatment and negligent guilds. If you ask the temple for help, it will not be refused.”

“ha ha ha···.”

“I saw it the other day, and there are plenty of priests with broad political insights. It will be of great help to you.”

“ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Glenn laughed like a madman and slammed the table. At the sound of laughter, the adventurers turned around one by one, saw Glenn laughing out loud, shrugged his shoulders as if he had seen something strange, and one of them shouted.

“hey! Is there anything good?”

“ha ha ha! then! No!”

“Good. Hey, master! The beer over there is out! I’ll buy one, so give me a drink!”

“Are you buying me too?”

“Don’t be silly, you idiot.”

The tavern was filled with laughter. Soon after, the owner brought a beer and set it in front of the two of them, and Glenn, who had been laughing for a while, slowly calmed down and raised his glass. Hyeonjun also raised his glass, bumped it, and tipped it. Glenn gulped down the half and slammed the glass on the table.

“I can’t do it like you either.”

“Won’t you do well?”

From noble mtl dot com

“hehehe…”

The two said nothing and ate snacks and tipped their glasses. Glenn had only had two drinks, but he was so excited that he kept shaking his head.

“Thank you…”

“Didn’t I say that I did everything for myself?”

“Thank you anyway.”

“I have no intention of listening.”

Hyunjoon laughed and shrugged.

“If it wasn’t for you, the adventurers here would have died like these little flies. I would either beat them all and run away, or hang myself like a dog.”

“Aren’t you talking too much about being drunk?”

“It’s all thanks to you… Thanks to you…”

“…”

Hyeon-joon stood up to help Glenn, who had now completely slammed his head on the table.

“ha ha ha! Just two drinks and that’s it! What a kid!”

“Chiggle, baby, baby!”

“Just drink it.”

Hyeonjun helped Glenn and went to the reception desk.

“Where are the keys?”

“key···? The key…”

Glenn fumbled and pulled the key out of his pocket. Hyeon-jun took it, opened the lock, and went inside. Then he opened the door in the dark and tried to enter.

“under.”

There is no room to go in and do anything. The room is too cramped. A small bed where one person can barely lie down and a small closet are all the furniture, and the space in front of the door that is about two spans wide is all that a person can stand on.

Hyeonjun took off Glenn’s shoes and carefully laid him on the bed. The bed was so small that I couldn’t even stretch my legs out, so I had to bend my legs while lying on my side, being careful not to roll down.

Hyeon-jun put the key on his bed, quietly closed the door, looked at the chair me and Glenn always sat on, and sat down. The chairs are small and hard, and they don’t even have a backrest. There is parchment and a pen with his hand stains, and on the other hand there is a box containing money. He lifted his head and tried to look around, but all he could see were the window openings and the ceiling rising to eye level. Hyeonjun sat silently and thought of Glenn’s day before getting up. there’s nothing he can do

Hyeonjun was about to go outside, but he hesitated. There is a bolt on the inside and a lock on the outside. Hyeon-jun, who has to get out, can’t bolt it, and he can’t go out and lock it. Hyeon-jun peered through the darkness with the power of body enhancement and looked around the door. Then he tried to lower the bolt, but it didn’t work, so he rummaged through the parchment in the window, found something that looked useless, pushed it into the bolt, fixed it to a precarious height, and went outside and slammed the door shut.

rattle.

Hyeon-jun checked that the bolts were locked well and was about to go back, but suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. The stars are very pretty. Take a deep breath in and then exhale. Breathing in the cool night air, it seems that the stuffy stomach is relieved a little. It seems that summer was in full swing when I first came here, but I feel that autumn is getting closer. Hyeonjun let out a sigh and took heavy steps.

“Wherever you go, people live there.”

The mutterings did not reach anyone’s ears and disappeared into the night sky.
