How to live as a wanderer

Doris's face crumples. Some lunatic mercenary...

It was the purpose of the mercenary's entry. You're praising the knights and then getting a few coins to eat and drink. The smell of liquor so far makes me feel fast.

"Have you seen these idiots? We can't hold the entrance properly. ’

Mercy on these begging mercenaries, of course, was a role and joy for the nobles, but I didn't want to see it like that now. It was Doris' plan.

As soon as she heard the name Marcel's Troll Killer, Doris realized.

This knight is on his way to Earl Jarpen!

Why would a young knight like Johann wander around such a place? It was clear that they were headed for Earl Jarpen.

Earl Abner may have called, but Earl Abner was not a noble enough to summon a famous young knight and meet him.

Doris was convinced that John was on his way to Earl Jarpen with a greedy merchant instinct.

What if I am?

Capturing is always a win! The reward for giving it to Earl Abner...

If you mock your tongue as much as you dedicate it to Earl Abner, you will become an Air Force member who captured the knight who was trying to join Earl Jarpen.

Is that it? If you pay the ransom of the house of John, there will be no reward there.

Doris was a greedy merchant, always looking for opportunities. He was running as the main bounty hunter with a permit from Earl Abner. The main reward is always someone who wants to make big money.

Doris was certainly a great merchant, who had a plan to get John drunk and put him to sleep and blackmail the mercenaries into lowering their weapons.

But there's always a loophole in the plan.

The flaw of this plan was the compartment.

“Aren't you Khan? ”

“Yes! That's right! It's an honor to have you recognize me like this! Phew! We only fought once! ”

Khan was relieved to cry. John accepted it because he knew.

“I was so happy to hear that the knight had come, and I wanted to meet him from afar. Ugh. I trust it would not be an imposition for me to be here! ”

“What. Giving it to the underlings is a pleasure. Why wouldn't we treat the warriors we fought together? Here, let me give this guy some food and drinks. ”

Doris's mouth twitches, but she can't stop it. The moment you dry it, the excitement will break.

The servants bring you food just in front of the box.

Khan ate the sauce-roasted trout, white bread with camelline sauce, sausages made with various parts of meat and spices, wheat with eggs and meat, and milk frozen with oil. It was a real act.

‘You're half enjoying yourself. ’

John was surprised that the Khan was here, and thought he had a reason for doing this. Then that looks like a disguise. Doris, in fact, was more than just pathetic and irritating to Khan and not acting.

Of course, I thought they were delicious, but...

“So what are you doing here? ”

“Oh, yes! I was working with a very generous new employer. ”

At that point, Doris forced a generous smile. The mercenary speaks, but he seems to have noticed.

Of course, I didn't intend to forgive him. When this is done, that mercenary and the man standing at the entrance will be flogged.

“Do you remember how kind the employer was… Mr. Gamson? He's a better, more generous and faithful man than Mr. Gamson. ”

“Oh.”

John sighed admirably with a cool glow in his eyes. Doris smiles unconsciously and beautifully. He was so audacious that he reacted with such audacity.

“That mercenary is drunk and he's doing it. ”

“But that's because you're good at it. There aren't many employers who listen to mercenaries like that. ”

“Hahaha... Thank you. Although I am a gold-craving merchant, I strive to live my life to the fullest. Did you know? There's a priest behind you. By the way, who's Gamson? ”

“You're a priest. You're a good man. ”

“Ah…! ”

Doris feels better about her father. She decides to punish him. You can have them stand guard instead of a whip.

“Sir, do you remember what Gamson did back then? ”

“Then you can forget. He's a rare breed. ”

“He'll do a lot better than Mr. Gamson. You can trust me! He's that great! ”

“...... ”

In saying this, John firmly established his mind.

John clears his throat as he eats and drinks to the ground.

“I have to talk to Doris. Can you give me a minute? ”

“Of course I do! ”

“Take this silver coin. God bless us. ”

John hands a silver coin to Khan, and envy hovers on the faces of the nearby servants. Such generous words.

And Doris was delighted.

By the way, the family must have some money too!

“Thank you! Thank you! ”

“Yes. Go away. ”

Khan was sure John understood everything. He carefully retreats, boasting that he did it.

“What do you want to talk about? ”

“Well... that's a very important story. Step aside for a moment.”

At John's words, the servants and slaves also retreated at a distance. Doris swallows her saliva carelessly. Seeing John like that, it smelled like money for some reason.

“This is really just for you. You've been treated like this. ”

“... Yes! ”

John could hear the pounding of his heart. Doris puts her ear to Johann.

“Actually, Gamson is the son of a bitch's name. ”

“Yes?”

John did not tell me any more, but embraced Doris' neck with a strong arm. Doris lets out a sigh, feeling suffocated.

Ser Leung

Longsword drawn at the same time. John points forward with one hand and says,

“Shut up. The one who opens his mouth will let you see his tongue rolling on the ground! ”

Grrrrrrr!

The screams freeze the servants and slaves. Even in a sudden situation, John's life is tied up tightly.

“Huff... ugh, knight. Why are you doing this?”

“Why are you doing this? How dare you prepare mercenaries to attack me outside? ”

“Queek, queek. A misunderstanding...”

“A misunderstanding? This merchant. Who are you making fun of? If you don't tell me right now, I'm gonna rip your tongue out and wring your neck. Tell me!”

John grunts, staring at Doris with burning eyes. Doris feels a weakness in her arms and legs. The knights were not the ones to accept that they were wrong.

The horror that John, who is really angry, might just break his neck as he reaches out here.

“Gee, Knight. Please... please save me. I'll make it up to you! I was wrong! ”

“You have mercenaries ready, right? ”

John's eyes sank cold as he realized that he had really prepared the mercenaries.

“Yes! Yes...! But I didn't want to put a finger on your body! I only wanted to serve as a guest until the end of the war! I swear to God! ”

“Who were you trying to entertain? ”

“Dear Earl Abner... aren't you going to Earl Jarpen...? Oh, if not, I was mistaken. Please forgive me... Gold, Doubloons. ”

“! ”

John was frankly surprised. This greedy merchant knew right away where John was going.

‘I shouldn't have made fun of you. ’

Like a dipshit who rolls, his sense of opportunity was excellent. If it hadn't been for Khan's warning, he would have just kept waiting until the opponent attacked first.

“Call my mercenaries this way. ”

John sends one of his servants into the tent. Doris was stunned, not knowing what to do.

“...!!! ”

As a skilled mercenary, you can see the situation inside the tent without making a sound.

“What happened...? ”

“First, make a sound to eat and drink. Don't be suspicious outside. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

The mercenaries spread out throughout the tent and began to eat the food brought by the servants and slaves. If it weren't for this situation, it would have been really tasty food.

“This merchant was about to arrest me and turn me over to Earl Abner. ”

“What the...! You're not even in the army of Earl Jarpen yet! You can't hold them hostage! ”

“I-I made a mistake...”

“Shut your mouth. ”

John silences Doris, then says:

“Prospective relationships aren't important, so they'll try to stick together once they're caught. ”

“How dare this merchant tear you to shreds? ”

“What do you say? Do you want to leave now? ”

“What about the mercenaries here when we get him out? ”

The mercenaries gave such opinions in John's question. ‘Since the employer is gone, I will take my share and scatter it’, ‘No, if that merchant's connections are strong, I will come after him with notice’, ‘There will be other merchants acting as executives in the procession, so why don't you call them and catch them?', etc.

John who was listening asked Doris.

“Listen up. Because you're gonna have to do what I tell you to do from now on to save your life. ”

Gulp

Doris' salivation sounds particularly noisy.

“Who's in charge of this ascent? ”

“I-I 'm in charge. ”

“What about other merchants besides you? ”

“I-I know some of the guys I paid to go up, but I'm not in charge. ”

“If you change the direction of ascent, will the others be obedient? ”

“... but I will follow. Hah, but if you go to such a strange place, they have eyes...”

“Don't worry. I don't mean to discourage you from doing business. ”

John grabbed Doris' head with one hand and told the mercenaries.

“I'm not running away with him. If I get tangled up, I might as well die with this scumbag. ”

“Then…? ”

“Let him lead the procession. Let's keep going to Earl Jarpen. ”

With Earl Abner's permission, you shouldn't have any trouble wandering around and meeting the Earl's mercenaries.

Moreover, the merchants in this procession were either selling goods to Earl Abner or bringing in money to sell goods to Earl Jarpen. It was Doris who was in charge.

When the erl arrived, John and the mercenaries were able to safely take Doris' wealth and get her ransom, and the procession was different, but they could trade. It was good for everyone. Except Doris.

"Baek, if you go to Count Jarpen with a permit and do business with him, I'm in trouble! ”

“Yes, I know. But, Doris, Earl Abner will be here later, but I'm here now. If you can't do it, I'll just slit your throat and run for my horse and get out of this procession. ”

“...!!! ”

“I'll suffer, but you'll die. So you better do your best. Because if your mercenaries come forward, your vendors complain, or anything goes wrong, your neck will snap. ”

Doris was shocked as if the sky was falling with a faint sensation.

How did he end up like this?
