Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 126

“But you explained it as if I were definitely aware of Count Bossa’s existence. How did you know?”

“You weren’t taken aback at all by hearing what Baron Rubilla said.”

After confirming that the person who passed out after being hit by the iron gate was not in fact fainting but dead, he brought the only survivor, Meta Mongnyeo Ha Mong-soon, out and roughly put the iron gate back together.

“Couldn’t I be just plain crazy?”

“I was one of those who followed Eldmia-sama today. It’s hard to believe that someone who is meticulous enough to check his surveillance by the scenery reflected in his necklace is a mere madman.”

“What, did you notice that?”

“Unlike everyone else, I’m an expert.”

Huh. Did you mean that you were just playing at the level of your surroundings? That’s just as absurd as that.

But seeing as you don’t know that a real lunatic is a cool-headed lunatic, you still don’t know the world.

“Doesn’t that contract seem to be full of loopholes in many ways unless it is presented in detail?”

“That’s right. It’s the church’s policy, and it’s also a part that all clients who commission to the church have to endure.”

I wondered if it would be possible to hire them with confidence as long as they didn’t make at least one guidebook, but I thought that being able to change my face at will was definitely an attractive factor.

“How much does it cost to hire a cult member?”

“Each person is different.”

“That’s right, there will be a difference depending on who has a higher request success rate. Isn’t there a basic price?”

“No. I’m talking about the client.”

After knocking down the items at the entrance that were piled up like a warehouse and blocking the passage, Mongsoon continued to act cooperatively even while leaving the building.

“We judge the weight of the work by the value of the client. Hiring costs are adjusted accordingly.”

“Worth it? So if the king hires you, you can hire them cheaper and that’s it?”

“Value is judged through oracles, not through worldly authority.”

“No, you’re saying that God himself tells you how much of a human he is?”

I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t even control my expression. What? Smile? In a section where even the laughing point is unknown?

“It’s not like that. It’s hard to explain in detail because there are so many parts of a trust that are hard to express in words, but how big an impact it really has on the world by putting the client in between what the client wants to do. And the client’s It is to be evaluated whether it is a problem beyond one’s competence or not.”

“I thought you were a money-sensitive god again.”

“Where is such a god in the world? It’s not like money ascends to heaven.”

“That’s right.”

Even the god of commerce tends to place significance in the act of trading rather than money itself. After hearing such an explanation, questions keep coming to Mongsoon.

“Then, as you said earlier, the price to buy even your life is higher. Do you know what the price of Count Bossa was, so I gave up on that and hired you at a normal price?”

“Of course. The trust is not passed through someone else, but the person who carries out the request receives it directly. I have judged his value.”

“How much was it?”

“The price he had to pay for my life was 50 Guild Trade gold coins.”

My patience deserves applause just for not stopping after hearing Mongsuni’s answer.

You’re saying it’s the price of 100 normal gold coins, right?

“I’m asking this because I don’t question your doctrine. Are there really people who would pay for you with their lives?”

“As I said, it’s different for each person. In some cases, even two silver coins are enough to risk their lives.”

The price difference is arbitrarily stretched like a rubber band. If it was a reasonable price, I would try to reduce the variable a little by hiring me again, but I can’t even think about this.

I was sticking my tongue out at the dizzying price, and Mongsoon spoke as if he had read my heart.

“It’s not something that Eldmia-nim should worry about right away. Instead, think of it as the opposite. You spared lives worth 50 gold trade coins, so I will cooperate with her in a reasonable manner.”

According to their doctrine, the value should be different, but even if you say it like that, it is worthwhile to save it.

As soon as he returned to the mansion with Mongsuni, he checked to see if Sir Ekaf had returned, but he hadn’t returned yet. I thought it might be an all-night meeting for an urgent meeting, but I couldn’t wait that long, so I decided to explain everything to Cheryl and hand over Mongsoon’s recruit.

“You are a person who serves your dreams, how do you keep bringing in people you would never have met in your lifetime?”

“Is it difficult to meet you?”

“You said you saw the powers she was endowed with? It can’t be common.”

I’ve heard that even though they have a lower rank than the saints, they are treated that way within their church.

It is said that there are only about 4 people in a generation, but it is admirable where the hell did Bossa get such a child.

“Anyway, I’m busy right now, so I can’t afford it, so I’ll ask you. Me and Asilie are going to destroy the slave trade union now.”

“Didn’t you originally say you were leaving tomorrow?”

“I did, but after hearing about him, I changed my mind.

The original plan was to rob as many illegal businesses as possible while Count Bossa was in trial.

It was a plan conceived to delay any possible response by taking advantage of the fact that neither new people from the outside nor those present could come out while the trial was taking place.

But thanks to Mongsoon, there was no reason to do such a troublesome thing.

It was not only she who reported once every four days, but also the pot-bellied baron.

“It is as certain as it was often mentioned in conversations with the other conspirators. All of Count Bossa’s men report to him on the same day.”

Just in time, Mongsoon said that it was yesterday that he reported to Count Bocha, so if I move well, I can run around the grass without worrying that the four-day-old guy will notice.

“This is how I end the long bad relationship that I had been unknowingly.”

As he was smiling at uncontrollable joy, Asilie, who had already finished her preparations, smiled the same way and said.

“You look so happy, Eldy.”

“Of course. Even if you don’t know the face of Bossia, it’s thrilling just to imagine how devastated you will be when you find out about this later.”

“Huh-huh. I’m glad you like Eldy.”

Since he was even plotting a traitor, wouldn’t there be some subordinates he’d gathered?

It went well at the moment when I felt the need to practice dealing with unit-level enemies.

I’ll show you how its men and resources are replaced by corpses and ashes.

◈

When I asked for information from the nearest place, I immediately knew why Zicmel told me about the slave traders first.

“Those tents that I thought were traveling troupes were all bloody slave traders, right?”

Having lived in the capital for over a year and a half and doing a lot of adventurous work, I was confident that I knew at least a little of what was outside the outer walls surrounding the capital.

but wasn’t it? I’m not going to lie, I never imagined that things that looked just like the circus tents I saw in the movies would be the scene of human rights violations.

“Somehow, I thought the location was very subtle, so it was a location selection that rolled my head.”

It seems strangely close to the polished road, but it is far from the capital, and yet it is far from places where monsters frequently appear, so it is a safe location with proper guards. However, a position outside the range of the flag signifies the patrol route of the Capital Reconnaissance Corps.

He was working in a location where patrols didn’t come around, it was convenient for customers to come, and he didn’t have to worry about being bothered by monsters or thieves. It was really dumbfounded to sit on a suitable hill and watch the scene, but Asili, who was next to him, seemed to feel a little different.

“Whoops. It’s been a while since I’ve seen an attack like this. It reminds me of the old days.”

“Think of the old days?”

“Because I ran into a lot of elven hunters when I was in the forest.”

I was about to ask how old it was, but this time, too, my admirable patience held the line.

“Are there any similarities in the layout of the camp or something like that?”

“Hmm. I don’t see anything like that. But that’s why I think it’s an optimistic situation. They didn’t come here to get slaves, they came to sell them, right? Not even for a day or two, but since they’ve been doing it for quite a long time, the overall appearance is more than efficiency. It is arranged in a form focused on.”

Asilie explained that the elven hunter’s camp was structured so that the whole could react instantly no matter where or when an attack began. While the tents were made very low to ensure there were no blind spots, and torches and bonfires were lit at regular intervals to secure visibility, those guys are the exact opposite.

“Should I say that it creates an atmosphere? I also heard this from a merchant a long time ago, and even those who had no intention of buying anything would increase their desire to buy if they could satisfy certain conditions.”

In order to stimulate a sense of immorality that you can proudly do something that is never legal, the market is opened at night, creating a dark and shady atmosphere, and at the same time, the roads that guests walk on are decorated neatly and splendidly. Conversely, in places where their eyes cannot reach, the light source is intentionally reduced and the popularity scale is also reduced.

Of course, if a surprise attack takes place in the dark realm, there is no way it will be linked.

“As expected, surprise is always the right law.”

“You’re right. Unlike the pretentious knights, Eldi is smart.”

I savor the rising tension as I bend my waist in line with Asilie, who lifts her heel to stroke her hair as if it is a feat.

It may have been an effective production for making money so far, but today, how can it not be pleasant to think that you will strangle them backwards? As a result, thinking that the slaves will be free tonight and the spirits of the slave traders will be freed from the yoke of the body, it feels like the muscles throughout the body are pumping on their own.

“It’s really fun to think about it. Aren’t those so-called guests going home today, paying in advance and believing that the slave will come tomorrow?”

“I guess so. Wouldn’t they lie on their beds in anticipation, not knowing that all the merchants were dead and the slaves were free?”

Having imagined up to that point, we laughed hahahoho and were genuinely happy for the misfortunes of those to come.

After all, joy multiplies when shared.
