The soldier shouted save (25)
Episode 4
As Hye-rin stopped walking and stayed in the room, silence came over her.
-dripping.
The silence was broken by a knock on the door.
As soon as the duck stir-fry that was ordered earlier was placed on the table in front of the door, Hye-rin naturally sat down at the table.
“… …Can I eat it?”
I silently placed the utensils in front of Hye-rin and picked up the fork.
“… … .”
Hye-rin, who still has worries, eats mechanically.
After finishing my meal, I held out the things I had prepared in the room to Hye-rin.
“Check after you finish eating.”
“… … What is this?”
“These are clothes to change into.”
Hye-rin, who had been curled up with her stinking body without realizing it, glances at her clothes.
The everyday clothes and underwear of Gerard’s continental people that are neither old-fashioned nor low-class.
Hye-rin put down her spoon and silently picked up the clothes and said.
“… … Is there a place to wash here?”
“Go down and ask any of the staff. They will direct you to the bathroom.”
Hye-rin nodded at my words and left the room, looking very different from before.
‘I think I’d better write some more before I get back.’
At the sound of retreating footsteps, I change into old-fashioned clothes and take out the parchment I had prepared.
Information about the ‘Imperial Palace Guild’, memorized through repeated death.
He picks up a pen, unfolds the parchment, and writes down the information he has written down in ‘abbreviations’ in full words and sentences.
A parchment filled with information about the ‘Imperial Palace’ guild, along with quick hand movements with a quill.
As I was doing this over and over again, the door that had been closed opened.
“… … Hmm, the interface looks like a guild.”
When I turned my gaze back, I saw Lee Hye-rin wiping her wet hair and staring intently at the parchment.
I asked, spreading the parchment on the table.
“Do you know what this means?”
Information that had to be learned from the situation because I didn’t know the warriors’ slang.
“Are you talking about the part where you tried to raid the Demon Race with verified tactics but were wiped out by an unconfirmed pattern? … … Should I explain it in simple terms?”
When Hye-rin writes down the information in a refreshing way, a smile appears on her face.
“Mic on off. What does this mean?”
A new perk from Jang Jin-woo’s soul, mic on/off.
When asked what it means, Hye-rin straightens her hair as if it’s not complicated.
“Let me start by explaining what a microphone is… … Well, this allows you to transmit your voice. If you speak into the microphone, your voice can be heard by all members of the guild or party.”
Although Hye-rin was giving a long explanation, it wasn’t actually difficult to understand Mike.
‘Conveying his voice through the guild stone. That was his special privilege.’
Because I saw the use of the ‘Mike’ privilege through Jang Jin-woo.
“So, have you thought about the proposal?”
He even said that he checked the mic, raid, interface, tactics, patterns, strategy, skill window, epic equipment, and status window.
There were many riddles that could only be solved with Hye-rin present.
Even without magical abilities, this is the manpower I absolutely need.
“… … Yes, well. I’ll do it. Just for a month, just to try it out… … .”
Fortunately, even though it was my ‘first attempt’, I got a positive response.
But, trust of ‘one month’ is not enough.
I said, nodding to the thing lying on the bed.
“Change your clothes and come out.”
“……yes?”
“Don’t wait outside.”
The last card I had prepared in case of rejection.
‘Let’s see if he likes this kind of thing.’
Come out of the inn and wait for a moment.
Hye-rin Lee leaves the inn hesitantly, looking around.
“No, this… is this what people here wear? It seems like everyone is staring at it… .”
An elegant dress that a young noble lady would wear.
I held back a laugh as I looked at the green dress and shoes that didn’t match her dark hair, and smiled.
“Don’t act like a warrior, do it like a Gerard, young lady.”
There was no one, be it a Gerard or a warrior from another world, who did not like being treated well.
When I put my hand on her waist and extended my arm like an escorting nobleman, Lee Hye-rin laughed in disbelief.
“So, where are you going?”
Lee Hye-rin, who was holding my arm, followed me, feeling unfamiliar with the gazes looking at her.
Unlike before when he had strode briskly and stretched out his legs, he matched Hye-rin’s pace and stood in front of the store.
“I thought it would be a shame not to drink it before leaving Tallinn.”
The place I went to was a high-class tea house called Coffey.
As I open the door, a bell rings and a butler in uniform comes running.
“An elegant haven, this is Cope. I will take you to your seat.”
The butler in his uniform smiles brightly, seemingly unaware of Hye-rin, who had treated him rudely.
“under.”
“… … That, by any chance, did I do something wrong… … .”
The employee is nervous at the sight of Hye-rin laughing as if she is speechless.
I looked down at the employee with a blank expression and said,
“The young lady wants a place where she can talk quietly without being disturbed.”
“Oh, yes! I’ll take you inside!”
-Thump, thump.
The employee who was walking while keeping an eye on Hye-rin opens the curtain in a corner and guides her to a seat.
A spacious space and curtains that prevent voices from easily leaking out.
“Please sit down.”
I pulled back the chair and sat Hye-rin down, then spoke to the waiter who was about to hand me the menu.
“Let’s have two cups of coffee.”
“… … D, do you want dessert?”
“Why, do you want me to eat it even if I have to force myself to?”
“Oh, no! I’ll get it ready right away!”
The flustered employee hurriedly lowers his head and disappears through the curtain.
Lee Hye-rin, whose tense face relaxed at the sight and burst into laughter, asks in a small voice.
“… … But, why is that person so nervous? There are many people who look like nobles besides us.”
“But there is only one person who looks like the girl from Tallinn Street.”
“……yes?”
“The third daughter of the Tallinn family is around the same age as you, and she likes to wear green dresses. If you don’t know, you’d probably just bow your head. That’s the Continental Gerard.”
At those words, Hye-rin bursts out laughing as if she finds it ridiculous.
“So you knew all that and still told me to wear this dress?”
“Why, was it not that good?”
“Ugh, yeah. It’s totally not good.”
Hyelin, who had been smiling with a playful face, shut her mouth stiffly when she heard the sound.
“… … This is the coffee you ordered.”
The employee glanced at Hye-rin’s face while putting down the teacup.
“How rude.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
“If you know, then get out.”
As the employee, carrying a tray under his arm, hurriedly walked out of the curtain, Hye-rin burst out into laughter that she had been holding back.
“But isn’t this place expensive? Do you have a lot of money?”
“I never told you that I was a former palace soldier.”
“… … If you’re a soldier, aren’t you a poor person?”
I smile lightly at the words of a person from another world who is ignorant of the ways of the world.
“There is no poor job in the palace. Of course, you and the clothes you are wearing cost you three months’ salary.”
-Okay.
I said, chewing on a bittersweet coffee and a square ice cube.
“I hope this satisfies your curiosity and you can confirm this.”
He takes out the sheepskin with key information from his bosom and unfolds it.
The main missions of the ‘Palace Guild’ include ‘Kidnapping the Saint Candidate’.
Hye-rin, who had been quietly observing it, frowned and asked me.
“But what kind of guild is this? Where is the information… .”
“They’re called the ‘Imperial Palace’ guild. I don’t know if they’re actually connected to the Imperial Palace.”
“… … If it’s the ‘Imperial Palace’ guild, then it must be real. The Imperial Palace guild is something that all warriors belonging to the Imperial Palace must join.”
“Is this information confirmed?”
“If I told you that I saw it in the Room of Destiny, you wouldn’t know… … . Anyway, it’s pretty certain.”
Information obtained from the Room of Destiny.
I nodded at the words, “The information the warriors left behind,” but Hye-rin Lee cautiously spoke while observing my expression.
“… … So, we only signed a contract for one month, right?”
Do you feel burdened by the word ‘Imperial Guild’?
He hands Hye-rin another piece of parchment, wanting to get out of this place as soon as possible.
“… … What is that?”
“Take a look.”
Hye-rin’s eyes widen as she reads further.
“… … This is me, right?”
Hyelin began to frantically read the parchment with her information written on it.
“Lee Hye-rin from the Tower of Yoo Seong, she’s been on the Gerard Continent for about a year now, and she left the Tower about two months ago. She’s been doing small requests and sleeping rough, and she’s currently in Tallinn… … Are you saying that? Crazy… … .”
[Unidentified special forces warrior, Lee Hye-rin murdered.]
Hye-rin pushes the parchment aside and speaks at the explicit title written at the top of the parchment.
“Is it true that the palace is going to kill me?”
“Then, do you think I made that up?”
Hye-rin, who was troubled by my words, looked at my face as if she realized something.
“… … Did you happen to know all this and ask me to do it? Did you know that I was being targeted?”
I nod my head obediently at those words.
“Because her life was in danger just like my sister’s. At least I thought she wasn’t a palace swindler.”
As she said that, Hye-rin pointed with her hand to the middle of the parchment she was examining.
[Kidnapping of the Saint Candidate]
“… …Your younger sister, no way?”
When I gave a bitter smile as a sign of affirmation, Hye-rin laughed like she had lost her soul and said.
“… … Wow, even if I had 100 lives, it wouldn’t be enough.”
You only have a few seconds to view the information.
What would you say if you knew that I had already died over 100 times to get information about the Imperial Guild?
“… …Why are you looking at me like that?”
As I stared silently, Hye-rin let out a deep sigh.
“… … So, what are you going to do now? Are you going to live somewhere the palace can’t see you?”
A countryside far from the palace.
I shook my head and answered, recalling the reality of that place.
“I would rather be threatened by the palace than live in a place like that.”
“why?”
“Because I won’t be able to live like a human being.”
Any place beyond the reach of the palace is like a lawless zone.
Without the Knights, wild beasts run rampant.
Criminals and heretics who are out of favor with the palace have created a village and are living there.
“If you sleep out carelessly, you’ll be used as material for black magic.”
It’s a place where it would be difficult to survive even if I went alone without my siblings.
It’s not possible to be on guard 24 hours a day.
Heretics and thieves will take advantage of the moment when a stranger like me is overcome by drowsiness.
“If running away doesn’t work… … there’s no answer. The information has already been sold so I can’t hide, and I can’t fight the palace head-on either.”
In front of Hye-rin, who is speaking in a gloomy voice, he speaks in a calm voice.
“There is a way.”
“What method?”
“Lee Hyeonseong.”
“…Who is that person?”
I said, unfolding the last piece of parchment I had brought.
“I don’t know either. But one thing is certain: he’s a headache for the palace.”
More detailed and easily understandable content than any parchment.
“The reason why the missions of ‘kidnapping the saint candidate’ and ‘murdering Lee Hye-rin’ that Jang Jin-seong was in charge of are not being resumed is because a lot of manpower was invested in catching Lee Hyeon-seong.”
I reach out to the ‘Guild Missions’ written on the parchment one by one.
The arena monster rampage that threatened the emperor.
The incident of a great thief robbing the palace’s granary in just one night.
Even the alchemist’s rebellion, in which he transformed the iron ore he had delivered into golems and attacked the imperial family.
All of the ‘guild missions’ listed above were tied together under the name of ‘Lee Hyeonseong’.
“If Lee Hyun-seong dies, the palace will resume all of its suspended missions. Then, you and my brother will both die without any chance to rebel.”
Lee Hye-rin’s face turns ashen as she imagines confronting the palace.
“Don’t worry. If you think about it the other way around, it’s hopeful.”
“… … It looks like there are no dreams or hopes, so what’s hopeful about that?”
He laughs at those words and asks back.
“What would happen if Lee Hyun-seong became a more dangerous person than he is now, someone who requires the entire royal family’s attention?”
“……well?”
“Other missions like ‘Kidnapping the Saint Candidate’ and ‘Murdering Lee Hye-rin’ will be postponed indefinitely. Until the problem of Lee Hyeon-seong is resolved.”
At my words, Hye-rin opens her mouth and nods.
“… … Oh, I see. So?”
But the expression on his face was completely lacking in understanding.
I sighed slightly at the sight and pointed to Lee Hyeon-seong’s information with my hand.
“I will increase Lee Hyun-seong’s achievements. So much so that the royal family will not have time to worry about guys like us.”
“… … How do you do that?”
He leans back against the chair, snickers and bursts into laughter.
“You just have to pick and choose the things the royal family hates.”
A very easy way to shake up the royal family.
“Not in our name, but in the name of Lee Hyeonseong.”
It’s like putting on the mask of a natural enemy.
