How to live as a wanderer

The price was also priced, but it was unlikely to be the most unfortunate.

I realized as John watched the fight between the Zarfen and the Abner families.

‘We don't need to create unnecessary grudges if we don't need to lose our enemies. ’

The Zarfen family reached out first, despite their advantages.

There was only one reason.

If they didn't want to go to the Abner family and death squad, they had to go together anyway.

Earl Abner was heartbroken, and even his disapproval immediately accepted the offer.

There were times when nobles fought to kill each other, but this‘ petty ’quarrel was separate. Regardless of winning or losing, they had to respect each other's pride.

Let's say you do your job well and get your tax rights. The moment I sold it to someone else, I ended up in Wolleike's ear.

At that moment, Ulrich will know the situation and unleash his wrath.

“... so the Ulrike ball should be the first to sell. ”

“What the hell is that?! Why would Ulrich buy that? ”

Stefan panicked.

No matter how confident John was, he couldn't take back the dog's twisted nature.

“Never! ”

“Why?”

“Because Ulrich hates me! You can't possibly listen to my offer. ”

“Unlike hate, the ball can see reality. ”

So you're saying I don't know reality? ’

“Instead of seeing the right to land in your own hands flow into someone else's hands and get complicated, you're going to yield. Am I wrong? ”

“Ugh.”

Stefan failed to refute. That's what I said, for sure.

“If you sell it to another lord nearby, Ulrich will be in a lot of trouble. ”

“Hey, that's a little...”

Stefan was embarrassed that he was a rotten member of the Abner family. However, that was not quite right.

“This is how we negotiate. Understood? Of course, I don't want to hold a grudge against you for selling it that way...”

“Well, are you going to negotiate now? ”

“No. This is the story of a time when it all worked out. If you try to negotiate something that's not there right now, you'll laugh at it. In the worst case, it can get in the way. ”

“I see. You're right...”

Stefan mutters and looks at John.

“Still, I'm glad I have a knight like you. I can't trust any of the other knights of the family. ”

“I haven't done it yet. ”

“What!? ”

“Bring me the map. The decision will be made with more information. ”

In conclusion, John accepted Stefan's offer.

‘Not bad territory. ’

Stefan said it wasn't a big village, but it was Stefan's standard, and it belonged to a pretty big village. Over a hundred people enter the big axis.

"By the way, the map is really..."

The map of this age was miserable. When John looked at it, he was confused whether he was looking at the map or at the graffiti.

‘Washing water is not bad. ’

This is the area where Balver followed the priests to conduct the washing and favorable management of the territory. Stefan looks at John, who reads the document by himself without a secretary or priest.

‘Recovering roads allows you to reconnect with nearby territory and trade routes, and above all, poetry is close... No. I've got to stop.'

Since there is no territory, I have a habit of figuring out how to improve whatever territory is in my hands. If John could do it, others would have tried it several times.

The only thing that mattered now was the subjugation we faced, not the future.

‘There were three subjugations and they all failed. The Punitive Force didn't completely annihilate, but after a long time ago, the Punitive Force gave up and retreated. ’

It was common.

It was fortunate to catch the monsters and be at peace nearby, but if not, we had to keep fighting. As an employer, I had to weigh.

Mercenaries have been making money since the moment they hire them.

Instead of pouring money in a situation where there was no time for punitive action, it might have been more beneficial to just step back.

But it wasn't John.

‘It would have been easier if I had failed because of one strong monster. This looks easy, but it's hard. ’

However, John agreed to:

Once all the money was out of Stefan's pocket, it was a big deal.

Earl Abner glances at John and Stefan in a dazzling manner.

“I was told to grant privilege out of respect...”

After asking for reconciliation, Earl Abner feels troubled by a strange plan.

‘No. He must have caused it. ’

Johann is an outsider. He would never have set this plan in motion. The cause was obvious to Stefan.

One last move because you don't want to go to the Monastery!

It was annoying and salty.

But he was my favorite when I was a kid.

“Heinchut Village has failed three times. Some priests come from monsters that say the land is cursed. Should we hire mercenaries to subdue them? ”

“Yes, trust me. I've already come to terms with Sir Johann. ”

‘The Earl loves Stefan, though. ’

I felt it in my words just now. ‘Please just take the rest of the money and go to the city.' Of course, Stefan never noticed.

“There is no family support. Don't ask for any help just because the mercenaries pay you more. ”

“I did this to enhance my honor! How can I reach out my hand to my family? ”

Stefan exclaims, his chest pounding. It was a knightly attitude, but none of those in place took it seriously.

‘It's finally gone. ’

‘Whatever it takes, I want the Earl's money gone without wasting it. ’

"It's John. He's a good knight, but Stefan? Or else I'll roll it again. ’

“... if any of these men would like to accompany me on that glorious expedition. I'll hear you out.”

The Earl's words silence everyone. It meant I didn't want to get tangled up in Stefan's mess.

“Earl, give me and my son a chance! ”

“Lord Inno. Is Lord Gerdolf all right? ”

“You're not hurt! Give me a chance and I'll be swearing. ”

“Very well. I'll allow it. ”

"Butcher" Gerdolf and his father's knights appear. Apart from the notion of the Ulrike ball, I had no choice but to wash away the disgrace I suffered last time and catch the Earl's eye.

Only the Earl could trust them, even the territorial families.

‘The Earl really loves Stefan. ’

John kicks his tongue in the face of trying to help by inserting a knight somehow. No blood or tears are the rule of the nobles, but we cannot always do that unless we are human.

“With a butcher... ugh. I'm sorry. I should have stopped you. ”

“... what nonsense are you talking? ”

“??? ”

Nearly 200 mercenaries have been hired. When I think of Stefan's pockets, I'm sure I'll be very unhappy if I don't finish the subjugation in half a year.

Earl Jarpen's Sadducees, especially the knights, regret not being able to participate in John's expedition. It was thanks to John's reputation and fame.

Sir, it is the knight's job to step down, even if the honor is not clear. Don't stay here too long. The count will be waiting for you.

Earl Jarpen will understand, but I can't keep him waiting too long. It was a timed fight for John and Stefan.

“Is that why you called me? ”

“Yes, Mr. Suetlg. ”

“You're looking at the Wizard's ransom too cheap. ”

“How can I count friendship as gold? ”

Suetlg gives a four-year-old look at John's nonsense.

“This monster subjugation requires the advice of an experienced Suetlg. ”

“... you think my magical secrets are some kind of hunter's experience, but I do. ”

If you want to know how to subdue monsters, you should call an experienced hunter or mercenary commander.This is a level level that requires a Catapult to catch Goblins.

However, John asked without hesitation.

“Why do you think monsters keep coming out? ”

“There are a variety of reasons... or not finding a nest where monsters breed. People like Goblins tend to reproduce like this. They're good at hiding tunnels. Different occasions, but even those like Ghouls can be a problem if they don't find their source. The bodies keep rising. ”

“Ghouls? What kind of ghouls do they usually come from? ”

“Well, they say different things... I think a strong body with a grudge comes out when it's buried wrong, but priests think it comes out when it's not guilty... I don't know. That's not my area of expertise. What else could there be? Ah. In the case of intelligent monsters, there are some who sneak away when the Punitive Force comes and come back. You're rich.

Lee is a clever beast like a wolf who knows people's skills well. If the subjugation had failed a few times, there would have been a record.Who said anything about them coming out? ”

“I'm mostly Goblins. I heard they're even poisonous and clever. ”

“Weeds are good at that. ”

Suetlq kicked his tongue. The Goblin, a monster, was inherently vicious and cruel, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's stupid. Depending on the location, there seemed to be a lot of smart people.

“I see you've missed one case. ”

“? ”

“Just pretend the mercenaries are working, report that they haven't subdued them, and lose money. Surprisingly often. ”

“From the look of the erl, that would have been a terrible death. ”

“You know him well? Yes, Earl Abner is famous. I've hung mercenary commanders before. ”

“...... ”

John was fortunate to meet Earl Abner as a knight, not a mercenary.

“No, boss. Don't you take that kind of money and take a break? You just keep working. ”

“When did I ask you to come? If you want to rest, go rest. ”

“How am I supposed to get out while the boss is on his way? ”

The mercenaries grumbled, but their faces were very bright.

Thanks to Goran and Khan's choices, they will earn years' salary at a time.

At first, they were frightened when they were told Goran and Khan were involved in complex matters.

Hey, boss! You're crazy! I can't believe you got involved in that!

Why didn't you stop Mr. Khan?

The reaction was reversed by the reward received after arriving at Earl Jarpen.

You're the commander.The leader of the mercenaries is something else.

Hehe, I never doubted Mr. Khan...

The soldiers escorting John at the Punitive Force were the mercenaries who hired him when he left the city.

It was more reliable than hiring new mercenaries.

When I heard about the subjugation, the mercenaries unanimously decided.

I'll follow this lucky employer and make even more money!

There's gold rolling in everywhere. Some maniac is trying to take a break. It was the same for the Ancient Mercenaries.

“Stop! We rest here today. I want every single one of them out there! ”

“Is that the Heincat village? ”

“I think so. It's dreary.”

“All the missing people in town are gloomy. ”

The punitive force camped on the plains a little further from the village. In a town full of monsters, I was able to sneak into and see the blood. It's the same situation as it is at sunset.

“Give my son a chance. Lord Stefan.”

“... to give his son a chance, Lord Johann? ”

“...... ”

Even though he brought his horse out, Inno regrets that it was a mistake to bring Gerdolf here.

I can't believe the knights aren't so trustworthy!
