Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 298
Although I didn’t like Engrim’s reaction, I decided to just let it go.
There are still many stories left to be heard. There would be penalties as a result of ignoring the guild member’s recommendation and disposing of Dangtel, and no matter how talented, there seemed to be a different reason for trying to promote me like roasting beans over lightning.
Oh, come to think of it, among the guys I wiped out with Dangtel, there was one who used an aura, right? It seemed as if Engrim’s hints about the promotion were starting to appear in the sudden memory.
“But apart from understanding the formalities and procedures… I can’t help but think that this is a pretty sudden story. I thought the first topic to be shared would be about Dangtel.”
Using a guy like that as an errand boy means that even if he had gone straight with a single needle, there would have been at least one guy stronger than him among the guys who died in the building. I don’t think the captain would have taken on the troublesome task of catching people.
Even though it was a collection of inferiority complexes caused by being blacked out by a woman, it was an unchanging fact that they were adventurers, so from the guild’s point of view, you can think of it as a situation in which all useful services were completely shattered overnight.
Get promoted in such a situation. My eyes became glazed without realizing it, but I didn’t deliberately manage my expression. However, despite my attitude, Engrim only gave a friendly smile.
“I understand. But I’m not trying to force or forcefully ask for anything. If I had to be careful… even this could be called assortment.”
“My promotion?”
“Yes. Because blue-level adventurers cannot receive enemy-level requests.”
“ah.”
Every time winter enters, the guild imposes movement restrictions on adventurers, but there is no way to restrict the occurrence of an incident. Even non-productive monsters who make a living only by raiding and hunting tend to take urgent requests more often at this time because they target human habitation more tenaciously. The movement restriction is a policy to prevent frostbite during the winter season, and at the same time, it is also a policy to process urgently occurring requests within the zone in a timely manner.
Normally, they would also stock up on food materials and prepare for the winter in their own way, but just like bears wandering around in search of food without falling into hibernation, most monsters with low intelligence greet the winter without properly preparing. And those guys try to invade human habitation. It can be said that it is the result of properly learning that unlike other people, they are rich and most of them are weak.
The problem is that they are in a more vicious state than usual because they are plundering through the cold of winter to make a living.
In the case of the goblin, which is the most typical example, the neighborhood drum of the fantasy world and the nightmare of beginners, the number of people more than doubles because they occupy easy villages and move for the purpose of spending the winter. Needless to say, the level of difficulty is higher than usual, as the number of raids by 10 has increased to 20 or even 30, befitting the word gangsters.
As a result, in winter, it is not uncommon for problems that could be solved by the Qing-class to be solved by the Qing-class, which were originally available for the Yellow class, to the Qing class. It is so common that there is a story that adventurer guilds in small cities want to keep more than self-sufficient adventurers in the city, even while subsidizing lodging expenses.
“…How many enemies have I killed?”
“Five people.”
Even as he answered, Engrim was still smiling. After hearing the answer, it no longer looked like a relaxed smile, but a detached smile that gave up everything.
It could be said that there were only five enemy ranks, but in the case of the aforementioned quests, there were many cases that could be resolved simply by sending one or two ranks with certain skills and sending them. Of course, it’s my position that I have no choice but to be skeptical about whether the guys who have gone out in my hands are capable of that much… In theory, I’m in a situation where I’ve blown up a service that can handle five urgent requests at the same time.
After thinking about it, I felt a little sorry. After all, Engrim is also a victim. Isn’t it easier said than done that you don’t directly select the adventurers, but manage those who come and become adventurers on their own?
I have no qualms about being a dick to those who treat me like a dick, but my conscience was too weak to be so shameless as to unintentionally harm someone who gave me a good impression.
“Hmmmm, I’ll come by often, so if there’s something urgent, tell me indirectly. I’ll do my best to help.”
“Anyway, I wanted to ask you something in order to finish the work related to Dangtel.”
As if thanking him for bringing up the story first, Engrim’s explanation, which was really bright, was a kind of alibi.
Thanks to successfully completing the abandoned dungeon request that I received with Gaendal Party, I was in the middle of the grade review. Due to a series of events that followed, there was a lot of discussion about whether or not I was qualified, but in the end, I was recognized for my skills and right before I was notified of the promotion, Dangtel the incident happened After this, I had a little self-restraint through a personal interview with the guild, but an urgent request occurred and I was looking for someone with the right skills, so I had to return in a hurry
… I took a moment to catch my breath and spoke.
“It’s a reasonable excuse that we wanted to ask for apart from the promotion. In many ways, the timing was well aligned and it was an opportunity to be organized neatly, so I really wanted you to agree.”
Looking at the content alone, there was no reason not to agree, but the problem was the request I had to receive to establish the current state of my body and the excuse he explained.
Seneran said it was like a body ailment, but the magic engine allowed me to do more than I could normally do with magic, so there was a certain recoil. Of course, it can be said that it is new blood compared to the fact that he played with the neck of the Great Devil-level trash twice in the wide area neck cutting and went on to fight, but… Unaccustomed pain always makes people hard. To be honest, if the devil shows up again right now, the only thing left to do is to slit his throat once.
Among the requests that the enemy class could handle, there would be no such level of request, but my life was so full of improbable things that I couldn’t be careless.
“What kind of request do I need to receive in order for that script to be successful?”
Even so, I didn’t mean to spread the information that my physical condition wasn’t perfect, so I pretended to be worried while stroking Laika for no reason, and then slowly let go of luck.
“This is a support request from Raviel. It’s because the current guild is not like that.”
“…Did something happen?”
“The guild leader has done a little… a lot with the maintenance of the city. It’s noisy inside and outside the city.”
I knew that petty piglet would do that. He seemed to be saying that while knowing everything that Engrim would know anyway, so he openly clicked his tongue and accepted the request. However, unlike him who could even smile wryly, I had to feel my expression rotting again when I looked at the request.
“… Security of a newly formed village by refugees? At this time?”
What flashed through my mind right away was the image of the survivors escorted with Gaendal’s party to get to Raviel. How long has it been since then? Has it been a month or two? Considering that it was a project that went through various administrative processes, it would have been a month ago at the most that it started working properly.
“Perhaps the demons have changed their tactics since the last port raid, and they are moving in small groups to break through the front lines, then attack small towns or villages and then retreat. Thanks to that, even those who are evacuating leave the city in good shape. It stretched.”
Apparently, the guy who gave me bamboo bread as a gift was suggestive of many things. The contents of the request itself were simple, so I had no choice but to ask for the details myself.
“I understand that you are trying to build a village because there is no space in the city to receive such people.
Now it’s a real winter. Even if you go back to the site where Envelde’s mercenaries swept through at the time and prepare for the construction of the village, it is not an easy environment to see. The food and materials consumed by many people for weak barriers are also perfect conditions for the aforementioned monsters to target.
Most of all, it was hard to believe that ‘that’ Raviel would provide normal support for a job where money is paid for and time is consumed by time.
“Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about that. It’s a direct move from the royal family. I can guarantee you that if they don’t properly support it… it will end very poorly.”
Oh, it’s a perfect situation to get involved in treason, so the fire fell on your feet? It seems that the nobleman called the yuji of the city who played with the guild leader was sitting in a pretty important position. Thanks to that, I understood at once and let go of my expression, and Engrim added a detailed explanation as if he wanted to be at this time.
“We can adjust the requests written on the referral form to suit our convenience, so we can fix all the burdensome parts. I don’t think it’s a bad story. The allowance is also negotiable.”
It certainly wasn’t bad. Usually, this is a long-term request, but since the scale of the work is so large, even if it is a short-term work, one person will be in a position to regret. It’s not like you’re going to camp in a tent like training in cold weather, and since it’s been progressed to some extent, you’ll have a variety of accommodations, so you won’t have any major inconvenience in staying.
I also like the fact that there are a lot of bodyguards, so I don’t have to endure everything. It is a good environment to move the body while restoring the magical organs in moderation.
I can say that Asilie followed another incident, but… I was curious about how the refugees were doing at that time, so I decided to accept the request.
Still, it was obvious that he would get scolded if he said he was going alone, so he first told Engrim about the possibility of a party.
