Trolls were different from Ouger's.
Unlike Ouger, who does not move well except when he is hungry, he has the same character as a dog, so he went in and out of other people's territory like his own house.
Thanks to you, they smell and come to you even if you don't induce them.
Luther knew that the trolls were resistant to mental magic, and he prepared a magic team thoroughly.
It maximized the effects of hallucinations and auditory hallucinations and added confusion.
When a troll enters the magic camp, you will be shocked as if the world has been turned upside down.
It penetrates mental magic into the confused mind.
After meticulous work, the troll was helpless by the magicians.
The dusk fell and the night came.
The group opened their mouths as they watched the trolls piled up in the corner.
Trolls charge tens of thousands of gold each.
Make a foam with a handful of body fluids.
Potion is often said to be the peak of the battlefield, the second life.
When your life reaches an alarming level, applying or drinking not only restores your wound but also restores your physical strength.
He caught five trolls of such value in just two days.
Considering the distribution proposed by their employer, the wizard, they earned at least 10,000 gold.
Everyone was happy, but they didn't show it.
Their employer does not allow them to belittle their duties.
They were still in monster territory to be excited as if they were already done.
It was night after hunting.
I feel uneasy when the full moon shines.
Dolken sat next to Elena, who was looking at the night sky, sitting on a dead tree.
"Hmmm!"
Dolken, who coughed in vain, asked his voice with a serious face.
"Elena, what are you going to do after this mission?"
"Why are you curious about that?”
"I'm going to quit my mercenary job.”
Elena, who responded sharply, asked with surprise.
"Why all of a sudden?"
"Look at the bodies of the trolls piled up there. You can get at least over 10,000 gold per marie. If the wizard gets the distribution he promised, I'll be rich."
Elena nodded.
Obviously, the mercenaries who participated in this mission were bombarded with money.
Most mercenaries fight for their lives because of money.
Therefore, taking this opportunity to retire could have been a natural choice.
Elena smiled lightly.
"Congratulations, Carl Bob's life is finally over."
"So, what are you going to do?”
Dolken's face, which I am asking today, is very serious.
Elena drew an impression.
"So why do you keep asking that?"
"I want to settle down with you if you don't mind."
Unlike what he has been flirting with, he is serious.
Elena asked with a straight face.
"Do you really like me?”
"Yes, I think I can get along well with a woman as confident and courageous as you."
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to."
Dolken was sullen at the firm refusal.
"Why? Because I don't look real?"
"That's not it, Dolken. I have a plan."
"What is it?"
"I'm leaving Marvin to save my swordsman. There's a famous prosecutor who teaches swordsmanship in the Basco Empire. I'll go there because they tell me the money but they'll teach me for sure.”
Elena recalled what happened today.
He cut the neck of the troll with his own hand.
Of course, she couldn't completely subdue her lack of strength, but she still couldn't forget her sense of the moment.
"I can be strong with the money I earn from this mission.”
Elena burned her ambition.
Dolken didn't understand her like that.
"You won't have to worry about making ends meet for the rest of your life, can you just live comfortably?”
"That's how you live. Because I have my own dream."
She turned her head.
A wizard was seen standing still as a mouse, keeping a distance from the campfire.
Her voice was filled with enthusiasm.
"I will be strong like a wizard.”
Dolken couldn't break his firm determination.
"Yes, I see."
Dolken, who turned around, stretched his shoulders weakly.
Zach quietly approached and comforted.
"There are many women in the world."
"But women like that are rare."
Dolken looked at Elena with a complicated face.
After returning from the reconnaissance, Kane glanced at the scene and approached Luther.
"There's nothing dangerous around here."
"Good job."Luther beckoned.
"Sit down. I have something to say."
Luther said to him sitting next to him.
"Tomorrow. I'm going to Malvin."
"That's fast."
"I have something to buy.”
As the number of contaminated mana stones increased, the refined lowest mana stone was needed.
Purification work can be carried out with the lowest mana stone, and purification work can be repeated with the completed mana stone.
Once you buy it, it's over, and purification takes time.
Luther thought it would be better to go back early because he could not leave the accumulating contaminated mana stone.
Kane nodded and asked.
"Okay. What would you do after that?"
"It's the same as it is now. But let's skip the auger. For now, trolls are the number one prey."
"We're good."
Trolls are four or five times more valuable than Ouger.
The mercenaries who catch more monsters, the bigger their share, are naturally welcome if they catch trolls.
Luther was silent again when his business was over.
Kane, sitting next to him, rattled his butt.
I have to say I'll go, but I wanted to talk to you more.
Although he had a deep conversation after drinking the previous day, his employer, the wizard, is still a difficult being.
I couldn't get up easily because I wanted to be close, but Luther opened his mouth first.
"Kane, you'd better stop being a guide.”
"What do you mean?"
"I'm giving you advice. Monsters are impulsive. Even if you know your habits, variables are always lurking. So far, he has been safe, but there will be a crisis at any time.”
"That's all right."
Kane tapped the long sword with the invant.
"There's a weapon you've cast your spell on, and you'll survive twice."
The fire magic was at stake, so I felt secure just by looking at the garage.
Luther's view of Kane was strange.
"I don't think that's the reason. I guess the job of guide fits you.”
"You got it right. Even if it's dangerous, I like this job. And here's my goal."
"What is it?"
"I want to reach the end of the monster realm someday. The uncharted territory that has never been revealed."
His ambition was not easy.
Certainly, as he said, little is known about the monster area.
Luxurious monsters such as ow or trolls are also difficult, and after that, there are a lot of monsters like Bechimos and Wyvern.
That's all. Even if you go through them, there's a desert waiting.
That was all the monster areas that the continent knew.
No one has survived in the desert, so it is an unknown area from there.
Luther kicked his tongue without realizing it.
"That goal is not easy.”
"I wouldn't be able to, but the wizard might be able to."
Kane laughed and said as if he were passing by.
"Just in case, if you're going to the unknown someday, I'd like you to tell me what kind of world it is. I'm really curious about this place."
Luther pondered.
It's an unknown territory.’
I want to go there at least once.
While studying monsters, I didn't know that I would reach them someday.
'Maybe I can go there for the first time.’
However, it is not considered at this moment.
Luther thought it was still a long way off and stopped thinking about it.
The return was decided and the party moved busily.
The cart was too narrow to hold the monster, but instead it had to be dragged by a rope.
There was no blockage in the movement as the monster was placed with a lightweight magic spell, and the bull carved a string magic pearl.
On his way back, Kane claimed to be Luther's teacher.
He wanted to convey all the habits of monsters he knew.
I became rich thanks to Luther.
Of course, I was full of desire to do something for you.
The group reached the border between Malvin and the Monster Zone.
I arrived, but I didn't go into the castle.
It is clear that the monsters they have caught will be a mess, so they plan to contact merchants in the back alley with cover.
Kane moved.
"We need to show solid evidence because we are suspicious and vigilant. I'll make contact and arrange a seat."
He took the heart of the troll and moved to Malvin.
When he returned, the place of appointment he said was outside the corner of the monster area.
Luther, who arrived at the appointment place, gave orders to the group.
"Get ready for battle."
"What?"
Contact with the merchant, and a battle order is issued.
Everyone wondered, but Luther's expression turned cold.
"I don't believe in merchants."A petty and clever merchant is not an object of trust.
If they can make money, they will sell their parents and children.
Not to mention the selfishness of not losing money even if he dies and taking care of himself.
So you have to be prepared.
Kane went back into the castle and bought a trap where poison saliva came up when he pulled the crossbow and rope.
Dolken, Jacques, and Elena each aimed at the crossbow, covering the bushes and rocks, while Kane hid his hands behind him and pulled the rope when the situation occurred to prepare for the trap on the floor.
It was a dark night and a group of shadows appeared.
The number was over 30, and each one was packing his or her weapons.
A man lifted the torch.
The surrounding area was revealed and a bent old man wearing a cape and hood came forward with a smile.
"Grade C mercenary brought me a troll, so I came to collect it. Where are you?"
Kane asked.
"How much do you want to live for?"
A cruel smile formed around the old man's mouth.
"Is it worth your life?"
He seems to have no intention of trading in the first place.
Kane's expression was miserable.
I made a mistake trying to do well.
Having lost his face, he bowed his head to Luther.
"I'm sorry."
The old man naturally shifted his eyes to the side.
"What are you?"
Luther waved his hand as if it were okay with Kane and came forward.
"Are you a merchant?"
The old man drew an impression on the sudden informal speech.
"I'm going to rip your mouth off first.”
"You must be a merchant. I'll save you for now."
"What?"
"I'll kill the rest."
Luther, who unilaterally declared, nodded toward Kane.
"Let's get started."
Now that the negotiations broke down, it was time to see blood.
