047. City of Mercenaries, Char (1)

It was a little over two months after we entered the Srisimia Desert, when we could faintly see something like a castle wall in the distance.

“There…?!”

At Icarone’s words, Iel narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.

“I guess we finally arrived.”

“Haa…… I guess I can wash up now. Based on the distance, there’s a high chance that it’s Char.”

“Where, where! I can’t see you!”

As the level increases, physical abilities also increase, and naturally, vision also improves. Reina, who is relatively low level, was still running around and whining that she couldn’t see. EL gently comforted Reina.

“You’ll see it just a little further. Thank you for your hard work, Reina.”

“Wow! Finally escaping the desert!”

It was Iel who smiled faintly at the sight of Reina, who was delighted. Reina looked at Iel with a blank expression and said.

“Hoo…….”

“Uh, yeah? Why?”

“I think you’ve really changed a lot, unnie.”

“what?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen you smile like this.”

“ah…….”

‘Did I laugh?’

Elle couldn’t continue speaking. She used to smile so much that customers who came to the convenience store misunderstood her. Elle was missing those days.

‘No, no… … . I couldn’t do anything back then, but now I have the strength to protect my body. Even Reina… … .’

Still, I couldn’t help but worry about the younger siblings I left behind.

Of course, there were no soldiers guarding the entrance. The walls were only about 3m high. It was low enough to see the buildings inside. Once inside, the buildings were all different. From roughly built houses like refugee camps to sturdy high-rise buildings that were over 5 stories high. The feeling of disorganization was clearly evident in the lawlessness that was characteristic of the city of Shar, even from the appearance of the buildings.

And what surprised Ikarone and his party the most was Kao. Kao, whose names were red, were walking around the streets without covering their heads or faces. In fact, there were so many of them that it was hard to find anyone who wasn’t Kao.

Reina instinctively flinched and grabbed Iel’s arm.

“Don’t worry. No one will harm you.”

“Uh, yeah. Sister……. Phew.”

Reina puffed out her cheeks to shake off her fear, then exhaled deeply. Icarone looked around and pointed with his index finger at the two-story stone building.

“Let’s get rid of the hangover today.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Okay! Let’s go quickly~.”

-Tiring~.

As they entered the inn, everyone inside turned their attention to the group.

‘Is this the original place? Or is it us… … .’

Icarone quickly looked around to see what was different about his party. These lawless areas are often exclusive. It would be better to quickly blend in with them. Icarone looked sharply for the differences between them and his party.

The hood. There were some who wore strange masks or hoods that covered only their heads, but no one wore a hood that covered their entire face. Icarone quietly turned her head and spoke to the three women.

“I guess I’ll have to take off my hood.”

“Oh, yes yes.”

They also felt the gaze of others and hastily took off their hoods. However, there was one thing that Icarone missed. Icarone’s prediction was not wrong, but there was another reason why their attention was completely focused on her.

“Wow…….”

“Hoo…….”

“Not one, but three? What is that guy?”

“Hiya… It’s been a while since I’ve had this craving.”

It was a strange exclamation, but somehow I understood its meaning. They had a beauty that made people look back wherever they went. Icarone tried to hide her embarrassment and quickly approached the innkeeper.

“Two rooms.”

“Hey~, they are really beauties. I’m jealous of you, hyung~. Hehe.”

Icarone ignored the master’s sly words and handed over 30 silver coins first. Usually, a room costs 10 silver coins, so he wanted to add a little more and quickly pay and go up. However, the master frowned slightly and picked up a coin.

“Hmm… So you’re from the Kingdom of Mudelli? It seems like you don’t know much, so I’ll explain. The prices in Shar are more expensive than other places. 25 silver per room, or 50 silver.”

“hmm…….”

Just as Icarone was about to take out twenty more silver coins from her bosom, a man with a hunched face and long yellow hair on one side suddenly thrust his face in.

“Hey, boss! Do you think it’s okay to throw such a tantrum at people who are visiting Shar for the first time? Dude, the prices here are a bit high, but two rooms cost 30 silver. This guy’s trying to scam you.”

“Jones! Why are you doing this? Why are you interfering with other people’s business~.”

“What’s the bother? How many guests did I introduce?”

“Ugh, okay, these are the two rooms at the very end of this floor.”

The owner handed over the room key with a deep sigh, wondering if what the man called Jones was true. Icarone, who felt uncomfortable with the owner’s blatant and confident appearance rather than showing any sign of reflection or apology, glared at him slightly and snatched the key away.

Icarone said as he went up to this floor and looked at the two rooms alternately.

“I will use this place.”

Ierie smiled as she watched Ikarone choose a slightly narrower room.

“You want all three of us to share a room for safety? Well, if it’s okay with you, Ikarone, sharing a room would be best… Hehe.”

“Oh, sis.”

Icarone also entered the room after seeing Iel’s back as she pushed Ierie away with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face and went into the room.

The room was cleaner and simpler than I expected.

“Meow meow!”

Kuo then came down from my shoulders as if shouting that he was finally free and ran around the room excitedly.

It must have been hard for him to follow her for months without missing her, even though he felt hotter than her because of the thick fur.

“Niyang! Meow meow!”

Now, there was no sign of a normal cat. Kuo would jump up walls without any support as if they were flat ground, then fly to the other side, and sometimes even cling to the ceiling.

Dada dadada!

Looking at the wild Quo, Icarone entered the room and felt dizzy again after calming down for a moment, so she hurried to the bathroom.

-Whoaaaaah!

I guess I haven’t washed in a long time. I only sprayed once, but the color of the water that runs down my body changes. I sprayed water a few more times to wash away the old dirt on my body, and then I soaked in a bathtub that was barely big enough for one person. My head felt like it was sinking into the cold.

EL, Ierie, Reina… … . There are too many people to take care of. It is uncomfortable and burdensome to go on a personal revenge with someone. After all, I should have done it alone, no matter what the method was… … . But I can’t kick out those who owe me money. And this plan will be dozens, no, hundreds of times more effective than doing it alone.

Since it had already happened, Icarone stood up, calming her wavering heart.

* * *

The Icarone group, who had only eaten dry bread and water every day, came down to the first floor to eat oily food for the first time in a while. When Icarone first took his place, there were only a few guarded looks, but as soon as Iel, Ierie, and Reina appeared on the stairs, all the men’s eyes were focused on them.

Their appearances, which had been stripped of their old clothes and changed into clean clothes, were so radiant that even Icarone could see them… … .

“Wow, Icarone-sama! You look more human now?”

“hmm…….”

No matter how many times I heard Ierie’s strange jokes, I never got used to them. Just as I was about to sit down, a man quickly brought a chair and sat down next to Ierie.

“Oh, you’re coming down now. I’ve been waiting~.”

It was the man named Jones that I saw earlier. EL said, glaring at him with sharp eyes.

“What is it?”

“Hey, what’s wrong? I saved you from being scammed earlier. Isn’t this your first time in Charen? Don’t you need some guidance?”

At the word guidance, Yiel, who had raised her hand without realizing it, stopped and turned her head to Icarone.

From some point on, whenever it was time to make a decision, there were women who sought his will. I didn’t like that sly face that seemed to only like women, but as he said, Icarone and his party had no information. If there was one person like this who could guide them, it would be a great help in settling down.

Only when Icarone nodded did Iel lower his hand.

“Heh…… As expected, you guys are smart~. So, what are you here for? Running away? Money? Or maybe to join a battle guild…… Ah, that’s not it.”

Jones looked at each of them one by one and shook his head. It was enough to make one feel bad, but no one cared. That’s the truth. Icarone answered, looking at Jones with his characteristically dry eyes.

“I came to join the guild, the information guild.”

At Icarone’s words, Jones suddenly hardened his face and stroked his chin with his index finger and thumb.

“Hmm… Information Guild… It’s definitely the first time we’ve come here. To cut to the chase, the Information Guild doesn’t really exist.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I’ll tell you since you don’t seem to know anything about this place. Everyone here knows anyway. First of all, I can’t find the Information Guild. Because…….”

No guild likes to share their information with others. This was the biggest reason why you couldn’t find an information guild. The information guilds, which had relatively little fighting power, had developed their own way of living in this Shar City over time.

So how is information traded?

The method was simple. If you write down the name and symbol of the information guild you want to deal with in a certain place, the informant will visit the client when he is alone, receive the request, and later return to give the information. The person who directly meets the client in this way is called a coma, and it is said that he has incredible speed and excellent skills that make him second to none in terms of speed.

Of course, not all members of the Information Guild are this skilled. When you put together the stories of those who tried to capture Coma several times, there are many cases where their appearances or movements overlap, so it is believed that there are two or three people in one guild. People believe that since they are exposed to the greatest risk, they select the most skilled ones and put them in a coma.

And to become a member of the Important Information Guild, you must first register your name with the Sharl Mercenary Corps and become a C-rank mercenary without joining any guild. Then, if you are lucky, the Information Guild will secretly contact you.

This is all the information Jones knows about the Information Guild.

“Where is the largest information guild?”

“Well, there aren’t really any big guilds anyway. There are only three information guilds. Burn, Durandal, and Lobera. Of course, I don’t know which one is bigger or smaller. They might know each other…….”
