1264 times. Then I’ll give you a chance to choose

After dinner, Elio and his group went up to their accommodations on the second floor, one by one, and two couples who needed to talk remained on the first floor, which was either a bar or a restaurant.

Elio, Luna Mylus, Baron Howard Solon, and Creada.

Elio asked again and again about the days Luna Mylus and his daughter spent.

Even though it seemed like she would get tired of it, Luna Mylus answered without losing her smile.

Elio’s questions ranged from his teens to his twenties.

From then on, stories about not only Jian but also Jo Hyeon-deok came out little by little.

Elio showed interest not only in his daughter but also in his long-deceased son-in-law.

This is because it is a future that has not yet arrived for him.

“Shouldn’t you have brought in your son-in-law instead? “They said he was the third of the ark.”

“I know. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that at the time. “When the time came, I was anxious to get married.”

“Jian didn’t say he wanted to live with mom?”

“It did.”

“But why did you send me out?”

“I didn’t want to make you live while waiting. “I just wanted Jian to live happily.”

“If you had lived with your son-in-law, wouldn’t your son-in-law have survived?”

“Maybe so. Unlike Joyang Sangbang, where there were a lot of people coming and going, Seokgyeongjang was quiet.”

“If I had lived in Seokgyeongjang, I would have been able to avoid the flu disease, right?”

“I guess so. Due to a disease outbreak, Seokgyeongjang banned the entry of outsiders. But we couldn’t do that because Joyang Sangbang had to run a business.”

“Your son-in-law wanted to become an official?”

“That’s not right. “It was his parents who wanted to make him an official.”

“Joe Ark and his wife?”

“Because if your children are taken care of, it will be helpful to your family.”

“Didn’t you want that from Seokgyeongjang too?”

“I drew a line from the beginning to stop them from being greedy.”

“Well done.”

Elio nodded vigorously.

Having been greatly harmed by the Southern Alliance, he was opposed to Seok Kyeong-jang becoming entangled in interests.

This is because the relationship with the in-laws may become distorted like it did with the Namgung family.

As the two people were chatting about their family, someone suddenly came in.

“Yah! Nice atmosphere. “Can we sit together for a moment?”

Elio turned his head.

Two men who appeared to be in their thirties were standing there with red-faced faces.

It was clear that he was drunk and cackling.

“I don’t want to do it, so just leave.”

“Let’s go? You’re so young that you say rude things the first time you meet? “Do I look like a dick when I say nice things?”

When a man who looked like a weasel started a fight, his group laughed and instigated a fight.

“That’s the way the world is. They say that if you try to be kind, they will treat you like an asshole. “Let’s go, you idiot.”

Before Elio could say anything, Baron Howard Solon rushed over.

“hey! Don’t get drunk in front of an adventurer for no reason… … .”

Before he could finish his sentence, the weasel roughly pushed Baron Solon’s upper body.

“What are you again! “You bastard!”

The man’s sudden push caused Baron Solon to fall onto the table next to him.

‘Wudangtang!’ There was silence in the tavern along with the sound.

The eyes of the guests remaining on the first floor all turned to the weasel group.

Then Merdev, the weasel, raised his chin stiffly as if showing off.

“I am Merdef of the Falcon mercenaries! The ink hasn’t even dried on the Abyss entry permit yet! “Where do you get involved in adult matters?”

At that moment, some mercenaries said ‘Ah!’ An exclamation flowed out.

This is because Merdev was truly a veteran, having been to the Abyss more than ten times.

Baron Solon stood up and was about to attack Merdef.

For some reason, Elio stopped Baron Solon.

“stop. Solon, step aside.”

“yes.”

Baron Solon fell back without a word.

Merdev turned his gaze to the young man with a slightly surprised expression.

Elio looked at him and asked.

“Brother, your name is Merdef?”

“why? Are you starting to feel like it’s no longer enough? It’s late, bastard. “You’ve already caught me.”

“What do you mean the ink isn’t even dry on the Abyss entry permit?”

“You don’t even know that? under! These bastards, I knew that. So, without knowing that I was scared, I held the woman next to me… … .”

As Merdev’s words leaked out, Elio stretched out his hand.

Merdev, who was talking energetically, suddenly tilted his upper body towards Elio.

In the blink of an eye, Elio grabbed the mercenary by the collar and swung his hand like a thunderbolt.

slam! slam! slam!

With a snapping sound, Merdev’s face turned from side to side.

Immediately after slapping the other person, Elio lightly pushed the other person away.

Only then did Merdev come to his senses and rushed at the young man with a scream.

“Aaaah!”

But the result was the same as before.

Merdev’s face, caught by the collar, violently turned left and right.

This time, I even had a nosebleed and both my cheekbones turned red.

Merdev, freed again, shook his head several times and then reached out for his longsword.

Just as his hand was about to touch the handle of the long sword, Elio spoke coldly.

“If you pull it out, it will cut off your limbs.”

Merdev paused at the young man’s eerie warning.

My head was burning with shame, and I was afraid of the young man.

The method of restraining and pulling his body was unprecedented.

‘He is not my opponent as a sword beginner.’

Merdev’s hand, which was reaching for the long sword, slowly returned to its original position.

Elio’s finger pointed towards Merdev’s group this time.

“you. “What are you doing?”

Frau, who was standing behind Merdev, looked at the young man with bewildered eyes.

Are you just swearing?

Out of my temper, I wanted to throw a bunch of curses at him, but for some reason I felt like I shouldn’t.

He decided to lower his tail and find out the identity of his opponent first.

“I am Frau, butler of the Falcon mercenaries.”

“Frau, listen carefully. Also, if you gently instigate a fight in front of me, my head will explode. Did you understand?”

“When did I… … .”

“Even if you say it twice, your head will explode. Did you understand?”

“… … “Okay.”

Frau answered with a reluctant face.

It’s because I feel like if I make him say it twice, I’ll break his head.

“Both of you, stand up straight.”

It was a surprising request, but Merdev and Frau, who were already discouraged, could not refuse it.

The two people stood side by side in front of Elio.

“How nice to see you so calm. “What is the name of the mercenary group?”

Merdev, who was watching, opened his mouth.

“It’s Falcon.”

“That falcon from the birdhawk?”

“exactly.”

“It’s a good name. “How many people?”

“Twenty-two.”

“It’s okay.”

Then Merdev said with a triumphant look on his face.

“Among the mercenaries in the Great Forest, there is no one who does not know the name of the Falcon Mercenaries.”

“That’s it. Let’s continue talking about the Abyss entry permit. “What do you mean the ink isn’t even dry?”

“Whether you are an adventurer or a mercenary, you must obtain an entry permit to go to the Abyss. That’s why when we curse at newbies, we say, ‘The ink isn’t even dry on the entry permit.’”

“aha! There was a lot of talk about the reporting system and the permission system, but it looks like they decided on the permission system in the end, right?”

“It was unilaterally promoted by the Southern Kingdom… … . “We are following because the influence of the empire cannot reach us.”

“Even the southern kingdoms don’t manage their forests.”

“There are no lords or estates, but there is an Abyss Management Center jointly created by the southern kingdoms.”

“Do I have to get a permit there?”

“exactly.”

“What if I don’t receive it?”

“To sell treasures acquired from the Abyss, you must obtain certification from the Abyss Management Office. If you do not receive it, it will be treated as stolen property and normal transactions will not be possible, and in extreme cases, even if it is stolen, you will not be able to claim ownership.”

“So even if someone steals it, they can’t find it?”

“exactly. “If the person who stole it registers that it was excavated in the Abyss, he or she will be recognized as the owner.”

“I guess certification from the Abyss Management Office is required?”

“If you don’t have an entry permit, you can’t get certified, so everyone has to get a permit.”

“Do you give permission to imperial adventurers and mercenaries?”

“There was a bit of a problem just before the war, but now things are being done well without discrimination.”

“Why are you paying so well now?”

Elio knew the situation just before the war.

The reason the Southern Kingdom came up with the permit system was to monopolize the steel golem.

But I was surprised that they now give it to people without discrimination.

“It’s because there aren’t enough people to develop the Abyss.”

“How much is not enough?”

“Dozens of adventurers and mercenaries die every day in the Abyss. It would be nice to send an army, but is that possible while at war with the Empire? So the policy of making entry and exit difficult did not last long. “Because we have to develop the Abyss even with the help of adventurers and mercenaries from the empire.”

“That many people die?”

“It is said that in ancient times, the demonic beasts and demons of the central region went to the Abyss, but in my opinion, it is the opposite.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“People who have explored the Abyss even once believe that the origin of demonic beasts and monsters is the Abyss. This is because it is crowded with demonic beasts and monsters that are not even in the encyclopedia. “If you think about it, there are less than a few dozen people per day.”

“You’re telling me to speak shorter?”

At Elio’s point, Merdev looked the other way with a sour expression on his face.

“Where is the immigration office?”

“It’s in the middle of Tombstone. “There is a sign that says ‘Abyss Access Control Center,’ so it should be easy to find.”

“good. Since you say the ink hasn’t even dried, you must have a lot of experience? How many times have you been in?”

“Thirteen times.”

“Is that a lot?”

“If you succeed in entering the Abyss ten times, you are called an expert, and if you succeed a hundred times, you are called a master.”

“Isn’t the standard for a skilled person too low? “You call someone an expert who has succeeded only 10 times?”

“Once you enter the Abyss, you will know how difficult it is.”

“okay? “Then I’ll give you a chance to choose.”

“What do you want me to choose?”

Merdev looked at the young man with anxious eyes.

I’ve never talked about choices before, so I suddenly don’t know what’s going on.

“The man you pushed away a moment ago is my servant.”

“Oh, I apologize for that. “I got drunk and started acting unruly.”

Merdev didn’t want to get involved with the young man anymore, so he quickly apologized.

But Elio, who had already made up his mind, did not listen to his words.

“It’s a desirable posture. “I heard that what mercenaries do is a complete mess, but I’m starting to like it more and more.”

“What else is left?”

“I didn’t even think about saying anything to you because of the servant, but it feels good to apologize. “Okay, I like it a lot.”

“Well, if I don’t have anything more to say, I’d like to leave now…” … .”

“I said I would give you a chance to choose.”

“What on earth are you asking me to choose from earlier?”

“Do you know who the person next to me is?”

“I don’t know.”

“She is my wife.”

“Does that have anything to do with choice?”

“Yes. “I didn’t like the way you were looking at my wife.”

“If I had known it was your wife, I wouldn’t have looked. “I will never look at her again.”

Merdev quickly tried to put out the fire, but it didn’t work.

“Of course I know it’s not your fault. My eyes went out on their own. Right?”

“… … That’s right.”

“Yeah, that’s it. Do you want to take out your sinful eyes? Would you like to guide the Abyss ten times?”

“… … .”

Merdev could not respond to the absurd suggestion and just blinked.

Frau, the butler of the Falcon mercenary group, stepped forward to replace the shocked man.

“Merdev is an essential member of the Falcon mercenaries. I find it difficult to accept what you say. Moreover, hiring separate mercenaries requires permission from the mercenary leader.”

“Who hires them? Is it an eyeball? Abyss guide? “You have to choose between the two.”

Merdev and Frau could not say anything at Elio’s shameless words.
