The strongest necromancer with evolutionary traits (272)
The 10th playable
Cromwell finished my business, and I moved right away.
The place I was heading to was the port city of Muriel, which I had beco quite familiar with.
“It was my first ti.”
Vivian gazed in admiration as she gazed at the uninterrupted sea behind the vibrant city scene.
Have you ever seen the sea itself?
“Are you new to the sea?”
“huh.”
“Since we ca all the way here, shall we stay for a day and then go?”
“Is that okay?”
“it’s okay. I have room.”
There was no contact from the academy yet, so I had ti to spare.
It’s already been two days since I’ve been away, but I’m sure no one has interpreted the sword marks I left in two days.
“Then just one day.”
“All right.”
I nodded at Vivian’s words and headed to the luxurious inn Minus had told about.
‘… … for a mont.’
I moved naturally, but when I thought about it, wasn’t I the lord?
I feel like sothing went wrong… … .
“When are you going to hire rcenaries?”
“Let’s get a room and go right away.”
The reason Muriel ca all the way was because of a rcenary.
I ca to Vivian, saying that there was a rcenary I knew here, and I was entrusting a request, but in fact, the rcenary had more business than the request.
‘The 10th playable character.’
A rcenary character who is of mixed blood between a beast and a human.
It was the ti when he had just arrived in the Empire from the Confederation of Southern Kingdoms.
As usual, the ruins Paisy found this ti was an episode she would solve.
However, because the future has changed due to my actions, not only the schedule has changed, but also the unscheduled forces have gathered.
So, I have to go and find it.
“Welco to Grand Phillips. Do you have any reservations?”
When we arrived at the inn, an employee inside the building greeted us.
There is a manager, but the actual owner is a luxury inn owned by the Morheim family, so you can think of it as a modern five-star hotel.
“This is Adrias Cromwell.”
“Mr. Cromwell, sir. Please co inside.”
And I was able to enjoy this inn without any burden at the convenience of Minus.
The employee did not separately verify my identity.
If you need confirmation, I tried to show you the card Minus gave you to use when you co to Muriel, but I don’t need it.
He probably knew my face because he had been told in advance.
We were guided to the best room and soon unpacked.
There wasn’t much to say about luggage, so I looked around a bit and left imdiately.
“If you leave the key with us, we will give it back to you when you return. Have a nice trip.”
It was a luxurious inn befitting a port city where money was gathered.
After being seen off by an employee, Vivian and I went outside and went straight to the rcenary guild.
The rcenary guild had no choice but to be active as there was a lot of work and all sorts of logistics.
“Co on!”
There were so many people that it was terrifying.
In the anti, the receptionist who confird that we had entered greeted us.
“What commission did your team receive this ti?”
“You have to go downstairs.”
“The transportation ship escort has crossed the water?”
“Oh, it’s not like that. Now I’m just tired of the sea.”
Listening to their outfits and conversations, most of them appeared to be rcenaries.
Occasionally, there were people who seed to have co to ask for a request and servants of nobles, but compared to the rcenaries, the number was small.
I walked straight through and approached the reception desk.
“What did you co for?”
“I am looking for a rcenary.”
“na is?”
“Agatha.”
“Forty thousand will.”
When I handed over the money, the receptionist imdiately shouted sowhere.
“Hey Agatha! A guest!”
Then, from that corner, a rcenary covered by a hood pulled up and approached.
Because of his beast ears, he always wore a hooded cloak.
“Are you Agatha?”
“That’s right, but how did you know?”
It was a voice full of vigilance.
I know that she is of mixed beast race, and I know that she grew up in a difficult environnt, but I am more wary than expected.
“My na is Adrias Cromwell.”
“… … Earl Cromwell?”
Has my na beco a bit famous now?
When I nodded, Agatha, who was carefully examining with her eyes hidden under the hood, shook her head.
“I know that Earl Cromwell has been appointed as a professor at Rodlen Academy.”
“you’re right. I had business, so I ca out for a while.”
“Can you prove it?”
Co to think of it, there’s really no way to prove it.
Cromwell’s signet ring was also on Amy.
“How can I prove it?”
“Why are you asking that? You have to prove it yourself.”
It’s trouble.
The badge representing the academy professor was still being made, so there was nothing to prove his identity.
At that ti, Vivian, who had been watching from the sidelines, stepped out.
“Cri of contempt of nobility.”
“what?”
“Get down on your knees and pray. If the lord forgives you, I will spare you.”
Vivian imdiately drew her sword.
All the eyes of the rcenary guild were focused on us at the sudden launch.
“what? Is it a fight?”
“Are you noble?”
As the situation beca more complicated, Agatha casually knelt down.
Then he bluntly asked for forgiveness.
“I never thought you would really be your Excellency. Please forgive the rudeness.”
“… … All right. wake up.”
To be honest, I thought I would ignore Vivian’s words.
Because there was no proof that I was the real Adrias Cromwell.
However, if you think about it on the contrary, impersonating an aristocrat was a serious cri that could be punished by death.
That’s why Vivian’s guts, or charisma, must have worked.
“Thank you for your forgiveness, sir.”
Vivian, who was watching the conversation between and Agatha, put the sword back.
Then people turned around with sad expressions, as if they had missed the interesting spectacle.
“May I ask how you ca to see ?”
“I heard rumors that you are good. Do you have any assignnts?”
“No, but… … .”
“Could you please accept my request?”
Agatha still looked at suspiciously and glanced out of the building.
“Can we move and talk? I want to hear the request in a quiet place.”
“You do that.”
I nodded at Agatha’s words and ca out of the guild building.
Even as I followed her to the quiet tea house, I felt suspicious.
‘Sothing’s wrong.’
Agatha wasn’t such a wary character.
Besides, judging from his current behavior, it seed that he had no team mbers.
Basically, rcenaries work in teams, but being alone ant sothing was wrong.
“I will tell you the truth. I’m a private rcenary now. It is without a team.”
Upon arriving at the teahouse, Agatha spoke first.
I was thinking about it, so I listened quietly to her words.
“I don’t know how you ca to know , but if you entrust with the job, there will be problems with the commission.”
“okay.”
Apparently, the flow of Agatha was severely twisted.
Since I was only thinking of her in the first place, it didn’t matter whether I had a team or not, but if I rushed to the request, it would only raise suspicion.
However, the job of a rcenary was diverse.
It wasn’t always sothing the team could solve, so I took a little luck.
“Actually, my job was to escort .”
“escort… … Then you will need a team even more.”
“no. I rather like Agatha because she is an individual. Because I don’t want a lot of escorts.”
At my words, I could see that Agatha’s boundaries had risen slightly.
But I didn’t hold back because I was telling the truth.
“There will be an expedition in about two weeks. In addition to you, the escort will be accompanied by an escort knight and three more rcenaries next to .”
“What kind of expedition is it a secret?”
“yes. I can tell you this after the contract.”
“Then I’m sorry, but I will decline.”
Agatha bowed her head respectfully.
I’m sure she’s more cautious than the original Agatha I knew.
“Would you like to hear about the compensation?”
“no. I will decline because I think it will only hurt my heart if I receive the reward for a request that I decided to refuse anyway.”
“500 million Will.”
where to run away
Agatha hesitated at the amount I said right away.
“… … yes?”
“30 million advance paynt. 170 million upon arrival on the day of the escort fulfillnt. The remaining 300 million upon completion of the escort.”
Even if you just sign a contract, it’s a whopping 30 million Will.
Is that all? It was a total of 500 million Will.
This was an amount that even a special rcenary could command according to the request.
“I don’t ask for much. All you have to do is follow for a few days.”
“… … .”
Agatha’s eyes felt dizzy.
From the looks of it, it seems that he is suffering from financial difficulties.
I rested my chin on the table leisurely and looked at Agatha.
“Oh, there are incentives too. I’ll tell you when you decide to sign a contract.”
“Ugh… … .”
I couldn’t see it because it was covered by the hood, but I could see the drooping cat ears.
Agatha hesitated for a mont before opening her mouth cautiously.
“Why are you asking such a large amount? I am just such a rcenary.”
“Because I know it’s not like that. My human eye is pretty accurate.”
At my words, Agatha still looked at in disbelief.
To be honest, it’s a dubious request to .
He offered 500 million won in the na of escorting a rcenary whose performance was not certain.
However, for a rcenary whose performance was not certain, 500 million was an outrageous amount.
“All right. I accept the request.”
“You made a good choice. Shall we sign a contract right now?”
“yes.”
Agatha eventually succumbed to capital.
I thought it was a little risky because I was more alert than I expected, but in the end I did it.
We imdiately returned to the rcenary guild and finalized the contract.
The advance paynt of 30 million will was paid imdiately and the exact contents of the request were also inford.
“Ancient Ruins… … .”
“There are a lot of people going with you, so you probably won’t have much to worry about.”
I tried my best, but she looked like sothing was wrong.
It was inevitable because the ancient ruins ant that it was a rough terrain where there was no way to know what kind of unexpected situation might arise.
“ha. All right.”
“If I successfully complete the excavation of the ruins, I will give you 3% of my share of the distribution.”
“yes.”
Agatha quickly regained her composure.
It is still quick to judge or accept the situation.
So you’ll survive
“Then I’ll see you in Cromwell in two weeks.”
“All right.”
When the contract was over and I returned to my room, it was already sunset.
Still, I was proud of my heart because I had achieved my goal.
“Aren’t you going to run away?”
Vivian suddenly said.
“Even if you run away during a request, you will be buried in the industry. Taking advance money and running away is a much bigger cri.”
“But why are you taking that person with you?”
“I heard from soone I knew that I was good at it. I just heard the news that you are in the Empire.”
“Hmm… … .”
A little doubt crept into Vivian’s eyes.
I couldn’t say anything because of the things I’ve been doing.
smart!
“Sir Cromwell, I apologize for interrupting you during your rest.”
“no. What are you doing?”
“Your Excellency has received a letter.”
letter?
It seed that either the eting or Evan knew I was here.
I imdiately opened the door and received a letter from the innkeeper.
It was a natural procedure to scan before receiving.
“thank you.”
“Have a good day.”
After the employee disappeared, I opened the letter while receiving Vivian’s gaze.
“Evan sent it.”
Fortunately, it was not a ruse at the eting.
I slowly deciphered the letter from Evan in coded text.
‘The results of the investigation into Pycy and the forces you sent. As you said, each of them is actively moving in the dark. In particular, many movents of different races presud to belong to the scene were captured… … .’
Evan had many things entrusted to him, and in the anti he sent information.
Of course, he wouldn’t do it alone, but he was always grateful.
‘… … P.S. Agatha, whom you asked to locate in the past, has traces of contact with Sin. I want you to confirm. End.’
… … what?
Once again I interpreted the part written in PS.
However, reading it again, the content was the sa.
“Is Agata thin and in touch?”
