Chapter 23 – Upper Escort

Back and forth. The adventurer was taking off the chief bandit’s breastplate as if he hadn’t even dreamed that I was looking at him. The corpse was dead with a sunken face, but the guy had a good stomach, and he smoothly peeled off the breastplate with greedy hands.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

Seeing that absurd sight, I asked once. Maybe he’ll take off his breastplate and bring it to me. `Ooh! The battle was won thanks to you! Look at this. I took it off in advance because I was afraid you would be tired!”, And suggest that we have a drink after work.

No matter how adventurous the adventurers are, they have no reason. What he kills is his own. This is common sense.

There is a high probability that I, whose mind has been twisted, misunderstood. Before fighting world affairs first, it is right to fight after looking at the degree of causality.

“Eh? Take off the armor. Why?”
“What do you do with the armor off?”
“Of course I have to sell it. Do you want it? Go away.”

However, my expectations were wonderfully missed.

I seriously contemplated whether to pull out the knife I had put in the moment and slit his throat. I couldn’t figure out what the hell this bastard was talking about. This is it. Steal. This is the most basic skill used by the cubs.

In other words, he was trying to steal my stuff.
That too proudly in front of me, the owner.

“No, don’t be a jerk. That’s mine.”
“What bullshit are you talking about?”
“The bullshit is the sound your mother makes when she gets dumped by an orc.”
“What, what?! You, you bastard, what did you say! What did my mother say?!”

As if he didn’t know the subject, he suddenly started swearing, so the pad lip popped out reflexively.

The guy jumped to his feet after taking off his armor, as if he was angry at the way he looked. Unlike Koreans who are accustomed to padlips, people from another world have no tolerance for padlips. To modern Koreans like ‘Neugeumma Prostitute’, even just hearing a greeting of a cultured level that doesn’t inflict even 1 damage would make them extremely angry.

The man’s face quickly turned red. He was a Hongik Ingan who had only been heard in words.

I looked at him and he was taller than me. The level of equipment is better than me wearing quality armor, and even the guy left his knife on the floor while digging through the corpse. If we fight like this, I think I’ll win even if I pull out my sword, but what the hell did this bastard do?

“It’s a motherfucking orc house. Rather than that, I killed that bastard you’re taking off your armor on?”
“What if you killed it? Isn’t the person who picked it up first the owner? And if you insult my mother one more time, I’ll kill you.”

If I kill you here, turn you into a corpse, and take your belongings, what the hell are you trying to say?

No, didn’t you learn when you registered for the adventurer’s guild that it’s common sense to only take care of what you kill?

“No, a prostitute.”

Curious, I pulled out my knife. Even though I was told not to do it, it was a kind of bonus that I blew the pad lip again.

I have no intention of compromising on opponents I can beat.

Winia, who can kill me in one blow, is at least capable of forcing absurdity on me. At first glance, it’s unforgivable for a young bastard to pounce on me. Acceptance itself is impossible. Because adventurers are a race that feeds on face. If you cross the line, you will be killed.

“The bitch who said bullshit about Ningimi’s mouth being pierced. Why? Killing him?”
“Uh… Uh…”

As he drew the knife, he hesitated. That guy was also looking for a knife while dancing around the waist, but you idiot, your knife is rolling over there. Realizing that there was no knife at his waist his, his face his turned pale.

He turned red and blue. He was just a guy like Taegeukgi.

“Get out of here, you asshole. Just go when you save me.”

I said as I pointed the knife at him. Seeing as they don’t even have flimsy armor, you won’t be able to avoid fatal wounds even if you stab them like this. The important things in a fight are, of course, equipment and weight class. I overpowered the guy on those two items.

So it can be like this.

In fact… I would have killed him right away anywhere else.

You can’t have an accident like this in the yard where you’re hired and working at the top.

“Sheesh… Unlucky!”

Still, as if he had the ability to grasp the situation, he spat on the floor and turned around as if he was bluffing. Common sense tells me that I should apologize first, but when I didn’t, the faucet completely turned around.

“Where?”
“What?”
“Before you go, you should give up everything you have and leave.”
“What the fuck…”

He tried to steal other people’s things and did not apologize, so he had to receive compensation for the psychological damage. I pushed the knife further and demanded alimony.

“You tried to steal my things. Didn’t you learn from your mother what alimony was? I need to get compensation for the damage.”
“…Huh!”

The hesitant guy thought about it and then showed his courage. This bastard was a bigger distribution than I thought. Why are you messing around with such a distribution? If he hadn’t done that, he’d be a big guy.

“Poke it, stab it, you idiot.”
“Really? Then just quit. I’ll find the alimony and labor costs from your corpse, you bastard!!!”

I just jumped out

“Oh, okay! I’ll give it to you!”
“It should have come out that way.”

Did not go out

The bastard threw a leather package at me, half crying. Snatching it back, I took five steps back to check inside, and saw that it was full of cooper coins. At this level… It seemed like a little less than 1 silver.

Is it a spare wallet? It is common knowledge that adventurers carry multiple wallets for security. It would be okay to accept everything I decided to accept, but I felt relieved at the sudden windfall, so I decided not to pursue further.

Yes, what Shiba Inu can have an eye on other people’s things! It’s okay, it’s okay! Forgive me!

For 1 silver, it was the family called adventurers who could forgive even their parents’ enemies.

“What’s your name?”
“…James.”
“That’s a damn common name. I guess my mother was bothered by the name. It’s only natural that I met your dad at a brothel. Well, then go now. Be sure to say hello to your mom.”
“…”

That way James turned off disapprovingly. Shall we take off the long-awaited breastplate now? I was already starting to get nervous. All of these were entirely mine. Armor, equipment, even property.

When a tiger dies, it leaves its skin behind, but a person leaves behind his belongings.
All of these I will put to good use.

“Hey, look, Sangdanju man! This guy stole my money! Shouldn’t you do something as an employer?”

At that time, James told the middle-aged man in the green hat, that is, the head of the company, the head of the company, even changing his tone. OK, I’ve decided. I’ll kill James and take all his property his.

“…It seemed to me that you were robbing first.”
“Huh?”
“If you cause trouble, the contract will be broken.”
“…”

But it was a band electrode. James stumbled and ran to the other side of the wagon. At first glance, it was a vicious atmosphere that seemed like he would seek revenge for an opportunity, but he vowed to kill him if the opportunity presented itself.

In any case, the head of the upper house who kicked out James called me while saying that.

“More than that, thanks to you, I was able to defeat the bandits. Killing the bandit leader in an instant was quite impressive.”
“No, what?”

It’s not that my skills are great, it’s just that he was careless. People die easily even with a simple stone. Even if he had been conscious, he would not have gone to the goal so vainly.

“Looks like you’re brave enough. How about it? Would you like to work as an escort in our guild when you go to the city? If you write my letter of recommendation, you’ll be hired right away.”
“Unfortunately, I’m sick of going uphill now.”
“I see. Too bad.”

Being able to receive training like the soldiers of the upper ranks was attractive in its own way, but I did not want to make this ascent a living. If you live your life doing something like this every day, you will probably become a desolate madman with no hobbies other than murder.

I can’t afford a future like that.

Above all, if you fight every day while escorting the top, the death rate will be higher than when you were an adventurer.

The upper store went back and I finally took the loot from the corpse of the bandit. It was literally farming. Once the breastplate was removed. The iron breastplate felt moderately heavy, which naturally made me feel better. I took off my cloak and immediately put on my breastplate. The breastplate was held in my arms, as if it belonged to me from the beginning.

“Ohhh, fuck! Damn fuck!!! Mommy!!!”

An explosion of intense joy…!

It was a structure that completely protected the chest and upper back, and was not uncomfortable at all in moving the body. The thought of being able to defend against an untimely blow with this filled me with bliss.

Satisfied with such a rising satisfaction, I searched the corpse again.

Once undressed. The clothes were so dirty that I didn’t even think about bringing them. When I undressed, I found two wallets. I checked the amount with trembling hands and placed it in my arms. It was a whopping 3 silver. This will be his entire fortune. I was very happy, but on the other hand, I hated that the bastard called the captain was so poor.

“…3 silver!”

A bandit carries all his possessions in his pocket, just like an ordinary adventurer. His self-property is the same as his own body his and cannot be separated from his body his.

The only bandits like him are all bastards, so what on earth would he believe in hiding his wealth in his in a place like a living building?

What you have is the best. So I was lucky Because this guy was good at keeping money, so I was able to take care of it all.

“No fucking god!”

He even luxuriously wore one of his necklaces his! I immediately took it off, put it around my neck, and put it under my clothes. My heart felt like it would explode! How much is this! After all, it was dozens of times better to immerse a person than to kill a monster! So the chews are all bandited!

With such overflowing excitement, I packed everything I could afford.

Swords, boots, armor and money. I almost lost my mind at the feast of incredible drop items. In no time, my equipment was upgraded. In the case of boots, I tied the laces around my waist. If I went to town, I could sell it for at least 20 coppers. The sword was also worn around the waist, and it would be great to sell it to the blacksmith.

Wow, 4 silver cash, some gear and a necklace for the fucking side benefit. For the first time in my life, I thought it was good that I volunteered for the corps escort mission. Of course, I didn’t want to do it again.

More than anything, I really liked this breastplate, now mine. To obtain something like this, you would need at least a few tens of silver. That kind of stuff came rolling in for free, so I can’t help but scream.

It would be nice to sell this to the forge, but I decided to use it myself for the future. At this point, it would be nice to give this breastplate a name… Well, what would it be?

“Oh right.”

Come to think of it, there was another guy I killed. As I looked around to find it, the psychopath adventurer from earlier waved his hand neatly. It seems that he has been waiting to share the loot with me.

“My friend, split the loot in half!”

He always said it with a smile. The tension made me smile on my own.

“Good!”
“Well, split the cash in half, what about the goods?”
“Write, that’s it…”

Unfortunately, the bandit that I and this Mohican-style adventurer cowardly dealt with 2-1 was poor. We split 15 coppers each, thinking about how to divide the knife, the only property we had left.

“It’s a bit vague to share this.”
“If you sell it to the blacksmith, you’ll get 30 coppers.”

I want to come out a little more than 30.

After much thought, I suggested it.

“Hey, if you give me the 15 Coopers you just shared, I’ll just hand over this sword to you. It’s ambiguous to divide it, so let’s just agree like that. How about it?”
“Really? I’m welcome.”

There was a feeling of losing a little, but it was difficult to increase the load any more.

The situation was settled once all the spoils were shared.

No bandits survived, and two adventurers died of blood loss and shock. Suddenly, I had to wake up again. But, well, since I made this much money, I was able to put up with it. Of course, this was the first time I had come across such a large amount of money during my life in another world.

The journey ahead looks like fun.
What kind of city is Isvant, I was really looking forward to it.

Then you should have made money… Shouldn’t you go to a nice restaurant and get some oil on your stomach?
