chapter 40
00040 #2 – My minions know no fear
#2 – My subordinate knows no fear (15)
At the end of the rain notification, a quest success notification also appeared.
[Organization Quest Success!]
[There was an unfortunate accident in which Kato died during the quest, but you managed to solve the situation with good judgment and successfully received the white paper.]
[The talent of Baekbo Dojo can now be freely supplied as long as the parties consent is obtained.]
Killing Cheonghak and occupying the dojo is fine.
The problem was then.
[Linked quest activated!]
[Due to the improvement of the Baekbo Dojo, the expansion of the Baekbo Dojo, and the acquisition of fame, the current number of students in the Baekbo Dojo is rapidly increasing. However, Caesar is the only person who can pass on the 100 Treasures.]
[If you do not want the main talent to be tied to the dojo, you must urgently select an instructor. Pick out the instructor before Caesar’s patience runs out.]
what are the conditions?
Before Caesar’s patience runs out?
I panicked and went to the dojo.
“Reena! I’m going to the dojo right now!”
“yes? Why is that, Boss. You have a very serious face.”
“There are Caesar and a trainee in the dojo!”
“Uh… is that right? Because he is the only one who knows martial arts.”
“How many minutes do you think the trainees can survive in the face of Caesar’s patience?”
Lina’s complexion turned pale.
“I, I’ll see you first!”
Lina was terrified, broke the window and ran off the roof of the building.
“Hey, room 303 guest! It’s hard, breaking the window every time. You have to pay for the repairs properly.”
“Take it and go away. If I am late now, dozens of people will easily die.”
“Hey! Yes Yes!”
I couldn’t afford to return the change, so I threw 1 gold and ran out into the street.
As I was about to move quickly towards the dojo, I stopped.
It was because I realized a scary fact that I had never realized before.
‘I don’t know the way to the dojo… I don’t know!’
I’ve been there many times, but I can’t afford to always pay attention to the road.
Did that Caesar go with him?
Even though he was walking all the time, he was too busy thinking about when Caesar was going to explode, so he couldn’t even memorize the road.
“damn. After this, the carriage…”
Come to think of it, carriages are not exactly like taxis.
The number of wagons operating in the city is small.
Especially in the eastern district where security is bad, it is almost nonexistent.
‘…I can’t help it.’
Then you have no choice but to ask someone else for help.
Fortunately, the East District is not without many passers-by.
“Look. I want to ask you the way.”
Passers-by were terrified to speak and passed by in a hurry.
Is it still like this?
The NPCs living in these places are all criminals who have to avoid the eyes of the guards.
help someone else?
There is no one here who can live with such luxury.
“There, you boy.”
So I changed the method a bit.
Speak in a strong tone as if commanding.
The passerby flinched and moved his feet as if turning away.
this is for sure
He is the one who heard the rumors about my heightened notoriety.
“If you ignore me one more time, I will make those ears deaf forever.”
“Damn… the boss of the Black Mountain Society doesn’t even know how?”
“Because there is only one way to know.”
I answered casually.
“The underworld.”
Burr. The passerby’s body trembled with fear.
“The destination is a whiteboard. Guide me right now.”
“No… Isn’t that your business place?”
“I don’t care about boring places where the wind and blood don’t blow.”
The passerby showed an open sign of boredom.
“No, wait. To go to a place like that, even with the help of other people… Does that mean you’re mad now?”
“I will.”
“… … .”
The passer-by’s body now trembled painfully like a tree being swept away by a typhoon.
[The skill level of the boss’ spirit rises by 1.]
[Wilhelm Meyer’s infamy increases by 1.]
It’s a notoriety that climbed up anyway.
Do you want to come here and focus on one point or something?
‘In the labyrinth world, notoriety washing is impossible.’
Fame and notoriety are distinct.
Even if you do good deeds belatedly, you will only be recognized as a bad bastard who sometimes does good deeds.
Rather, it would be nice if he had a reputation for being a bad-tempered, dangerous and even suspicious guy, and if his notoriety didn’t rise suddenly.
“Hey… it’s a bit scary to go alone, can I bring my co-workers with me?”
Originally, of course not.
Because it’s a busy time.
However, after seeing the adventurer’s equipment, he changed his mind.
“good night.”
iron armor.
If you can wear this kind of thing, you are quite a skilled adventurer.
They must be earning a living through repeated hunting on the B4 or B5 floors.
‘When you are driving, it becomes power.’
It could be a sacrifice to offer to Caesar when he ran mad, or it could be a candidate for a preliminary instructor.
Neither is bad for me.
Of course, this guy has a different plan for asking to accompany him… but that doesn’t really matter.
“Hans! Let’s go together for a moment!”
“Wow, what’s next to you!”
“I cannot die alone. He’s already… the black mountain hoe boss has seen your face! Just give up and follow along!”
It was just that he didn’t want to go through such a terrible thing by himself, so he gathered all his colleagues together.
What an impressive colleague.
Anyway, the three-member party of warriors, warriors, and warriors all gathered.
“Isn’t your party all about warriors?”
“Ah yes. These guys came up together from their hometown, so they can be trusted unlike the others. Now that it has hardened, I have to put other people in the party…”
“You are wise.”
If you are greedy and try to recruit new party members and go deeper, then you will have to risk your life.
If it is enough to make a living, a three-member warrior party is sufficient. A party like this isn’t bad if you’re looking for a stable life.
Traps, monster trends, and pathfinding can be overcome somehow with various tools and experiences. Even in the previous work, if it was B4 to B5, it was a level that only warriors could overcome.
“there. I have something I want to ask you too, are you okay?”
“Is it the little boy who was called Hans? What.”
“It’s kind of unfair to only go to our party, but can I bring other parties as well?”
Well?
Is increasing the number of people the right choice?
Looking at it honestly, I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all.
“good night. permit.”
“thank you!”
So our party hit the bar at first.
The faces of the adventurers who saw my face in the noisy atmosphere became pale one by one.
What the hell kind of rumors are spreading about me?
“You guys! You must know who this is!”
The first adventurer warrior I encountered. In Hans’ words, a warrior by the name of Qui-Ger cried out with a sash around his neck.
“He is worshiped by Caesar, the powerful man who crushed and killed Toma the madman in the East Earth. It’s the black mountain sashimi boss!”
The bar was engulfed in commotion as if it had been caught in an explosion out of the blue.
“Ahhh!! What the hell did you bring?!”
“Hey, you have to run away!”
“Shake, f*ck, f*ck! It’s on the second floor. Run through the second-floor window!”
A bunch of adventurers kicked off their seats and started running.
They know my notoriety.
On the other hand, sitting quietly, what about those idiots? There are people who make facial expressions.
Those who returned from labyrinth exploration or did not come across my notoriety for various reasons.
Seeing the adventurers’ unusual reactions, they were just terrified.
“Hancock! what are you doing! Run away now!!!”
“Wow, whoa. First of all, please calm down. What’s wrong with your hair? Why are you so terrified of how strong a human being who is the boss of the Black Mountain Society is so strong?”
“You crazy bastard! I don’t have time, so I’ll explain briefly, so listen carefully!!”
The adventurer, who was running towards the stairs, found a casual companion, clenched his teeth and quickly started explaining.
“Black Mountain Society boss, Wilhelm Meyer. He has one subordinate named Caesar. I heard that he had a decisive battle with the madman Thomas and won, but unfortunately, there was an eyewitness to the scene.”
“What is that? He would be a great warrior if he could defeat Toma, but that warrior doesn’t exist now.”
“Shut up and listen! Thomas didn’t fall for any martial arts! Eaten souls alive and sucked into the Abyss!”
…What?
Even I, who was just listening, was shocked.
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
“Please shut up and listen, Hancock!! Caesar began to exclaim this from the time their weapons stalemate.”
“Thomas! Can’t you hear me! The sound of your comrades howling!!”
“Wow, what are you talking about!”
“You ran away! Alone, leaving your comrades behind! Will you, who once gave up being a warrior, die as a warrior when it’s time to die? Do you think such a thing is possible?!”
Uh… There were certainly conversations like that.
It’s not wrong.
“You have already failed. The warrior’s position is in front of his comrades! You should have died before anyone else!!”
“no!!”
“Don’t let the shameful coward who survived to the end talk about warriors! The spirit of the warrior that remains within you long ago faded away! I mean, don’t pretend to be a warrior on the subject of ashes!!”
okay.
There was nothing wrong there.
“As soon as he finished saying that, Toma burst into tears of blood and the veins that had sprung up over the muscles of his body began to burst!”
“What, what!?”
“Besides, right after that, he even shouted these words!”
The adventurer perfectly informed the conversation of the past.
“Look carefully! me in front of you! The ordeal you gave up on! The soul of the warrior you turned away from yourself!」
“Black monster! No, I can’t do this!」
“Yes! I am the monster It is a despair that will devour your last remaining warrior’s soul and even your last miserable pride!!”
Hancock fell behind the chair in shock.
lost leisure
Fellow adventurers continued to say to him, who was filled with fear.
“Thoma’s strong body shrank and contracted and weakened while alive. At the end, with the wretched cry of a soul howling, mummified… crushed by Caesar’s hands!!”
“Ahhh!!”
“Now, a man who recognizes and follows him as the boss is here!”
No… you weren’t wrong.
I wasn’t wrong.
Don’t you think there’s something wrong with that description!?
“Oh My God. You subdued and destroyed Thomas’ soul alive.”
“To break the soul of a warrior with the mighty power of the Black Mountain Society.”
Distortions based on facts began to spread among adventurers who were easygoing.
They were terrified.
The rumors grew more and more ferocious each time they came out of their mouths.
“Caesar is a demon contractor who works with demonic powers!”
“A warrior who opposes him will be cursed with black mountain ash and lose their souls and perish!”
“The souls of those slain by Caesar are dedicated to the demons of the Abyss, and they writhe in extreme pain for a long time!”
The delusions of an endless explosion of imagination began to come and go.
“Oh My God. Your subordinate is a soul destroyer. There’s no way such a guy can follow a general-purpose man. For some reason, he had a face that looked incredibly strong for an undeveloped body. There was something!”
“Yeah, the realm is different! We couldn’t recognize them because they had a different level of strength than ours!”
“Why did such a devilish man come to us?”
People looked at me with fearful eyes.
I think I have to say something very scary given the atmosphere.
I have nothing to say.
“You must go with me.”
“Where are you going to take us?”
“To where Caesar is.”
The complexions of the adventurers were pale, and they died from exhaustion.
Well, the color of your face changes so quickly.
It was a pitiful sight to see, so he comforted me and said a word.
“Don’t worry. If the worst doesn’t happen, we’ll be able to go back without a hitch.”
“I… Boss. What is the worst?”
“The situation in which you are sacrificed to Caesar… No, it’s time to have a physical conversation with Caesar.”
Oops.
It came out just as I had thought of it.
It was corrected later, but his expression was worse.
On the contrary, it was much more serious than before the correction.
Some started screaming out loud and running to the second floor.
“no! I don’t want to be the victim of a demon contractor!”
“shit! I’ve heard rumors that demon contractors maintain the power bestowed on them by sacrificing them! They might be trying to sell us to the Abyss!”
“Aaah! I don’t want to die!”
I crossed my arms and tapped the floor with my toes.
This is a bit inconvenient.
It doesn’t matter if you’re scared, but if possible, I’d like to take a little more.
‘okay. The number of these guys here is 20.’
I raised one corner of my mouth obliquely.
“It’s not specifically used as a sacrifice… but it doesn’t really matter. Take ten people. If the numbers are not filled in, all those who memorized their faces should be prepared.”
“Huh!”
“The selection method is up to you guys to decide. However, after one minute, if there are fewer than 10 people left in front of me, all the rest will die.”
Of course it’s fake. Do you want to memorize the faces of drunks sitting in the tavern at a time like this?
I’d rather remember the faces of the beauties I saw on the street.
