Chapter 348 – Kim Katt and the Forty Bandits

Elise suddenly appeared and suggested that we go to kill together.

Saying something like this makes us feel like very bizarre people, but I think it shouldn’t be too much of a problem since we’re doing the right thing.

Catching bandits can be quite lucrative.

Small merchants and travelers said that the damage was severe, so they would have plundered their own items and piled them up in their base. And he must be armed as much as he is robbing.

I remember the raid that happened when I first came to Isvant. Probably the level of fighting power and armament is about that.

Bandits are generally not good fighters.

Life in the mountains is quite uncomfortable. You have to fight monsters and raid people. I have to leave all my income and life to chance, and fatigue accumulates every day.

They can’t even eat properly. I need to eat something to gain strength, but their nutritional status is so serious that they suffer from bone disease. I don’t know if they plundered even groceries.

That’s why only the pitiful people who can’t live without doing something like that do banditry. If you have skills, you don’t have to live in an uncomfortable world. It’s hard even for an E-class adventurer, but you can get along in the city.

There, going one step further, they are a group of criminals who can’t even lead on such a topic, so despite being a group, they show a very vulnerable aspect in group exhibitions.

The ones they attack are only a handful of weaklings that can be suppressed with their head count, such as small merchants and tourists.

Daguri is good, but from the moment they become equal, their combat power plummets.

When I explain it like this, they are real idiots.

There’s no way to explain these bastards except to say they’re real assholes. If you’re not an idiot, you’re just a psychopath who can’t live without robbery by nature.

Of course, as Elise said, they could be pagans who simply deserted.

As always, most people don’t know about them, but they’re not my opponents.

“As a result of gathering information from the adventurer’s guild, it is said that the small merchants who survived the damage are hiring adventurers to take revenge on the bandits. They will probably lead the adventurers themselves and go to subdue the bandits. I think it will be good.”

Elise added that explanation.

“That would be nice. When are you going?”
“It looks like they’re planning to recruit people by tomorrow and leave the next morning. They say about a dozen people have already been hired.”

Quite a large crowd.

“There are more than 10 people… How big are the bandits?”
“I don’t know the details, but a small merchant who survived said that a group of less than twenty people attacked.”

It seems that the number of heads is almost equal, so there is no problem.

“Really? That number is enough to enforce justice. If we hire a few more by tomorrow, we’ll have enough heads. Hehe, let’s give those worms a stern judgment. Elise.”
“You’re already motivated, so it’s more of an encouragement than anything else.”

It’s not bad if work starts the day after tomorrow.

Even if I buy new equipment today, there is still a day left, so I have plenty of time to prepare. It would probably take a few days to subdue the bandits, as you would have to track them while climbing the mountain.

It’s perfect if you prepare for tomorrow, check your skills, and then start.

“Let’s go out when we’re done.”
“All right.”

After eating with Elise, I went outside.

“Then, Saints. Now, let’s meet the small merchant…”
“No, wait. I have some place to stop before that.”
“Do you have somewhere to go?”
“I need to buy some new gear. Look. I don’t have any armor.”
“Come to think of it, you don’t have a breastplate. What happened?”
“My armor was all smashed while fighting the evil villains.”

Hearing that, Elise exclaimed in surprise, in her astonishment.

“It can’t be! What kind of heinous people are they!!!”
“Hehe, they were evil robbers. Well, it’s okay because they’ve already killed and judged them. Don’t get excited.”

Lisette is the one who broke it, but since she has already decided to close her eyes to the problem, the responsibility naturally falls to the robbers in the slums.

“I almost got lost. I was surrounded. I survived in the end.”

After all, it’s as if the robbers have smashed my armor. If he doesn’t go with Lisette next time and kill everyone and take the money, he won’t be forgiven.

Anger rises

In fact, in a broad sense, these bandits are also accomplices in destroying my equipment.

No, not an accomplice, but a main culprit.

Because slum robbers = the same thing as bandits.

How dare you… Damage me property with these bandits?

It seemed that I would not be able to stand it if I did not punish and kill all of them.

“It’s a pity that I couldn’t see the judgment with my own eyes. He fought even when his armor was shattered, so he’s a truly strong person.”
“Then shall we shout out loud?
“P-Friend!”

Anyway, I have to go buy the equipment.

I went towards the commercial district while shouting slogans with Elise. I’m thinking of buying iron breastplates and gauntlets. We have time, so let’s hang out for a while.

“I can feel the heat. Hmm, the armor on display looks normal.”

After arriving at the commercial district, I glanced around at the blacksmith shops lined up. It would be nice to go to a place that specializes in making armor.

“Common?”
“I know that my brothers’ armor is bizarre.”
“Ah, Brother Arcio.”
“He’s even more special.”

The Crusader of the Light and Star Cross Society boasts armor sense like demons of hell. Hideous thorny pauldrons and gauntlets. And there is no other line to skip the helmet and sharp sabaton from the nightmare, but the chest and stomach are always exposed and only wear panties.

On the other hand, it is so amazing that the nuns are properly covering their bodies like Elise.

While chatting about armor with Elise in moderation, I entered a place that looked good. As soon as I entered, the appearance of armor with practical designs on display caught my eye.

“Welcome. A nun and a big warrior? What are you buying?”
“I’m here to buy an iron breastplate. Can the owner choose one that suits my body?”
“Okay.”
“Ah. I wish there were no decorations. I like practical things.”
“You seem to know a little about armor. Hehe, I understand.”

Having said that, the owner took my body measurements and busily moved to pick out the armor. At the same time, I looked at other equipment with Elise.

“Ah, Saints. I found a very punishing looking gauntlet.”
“What the hell do you mean by looking punitive?”
“If you look at it, maybe even the saints will know.”

Exactly what Elise was pointing at.

“It looks really punitive.”

It was a truly punitive iron gauntlet.

Unlike ordinary gauntlets, the fist part had four thick spikes. It is a design that boasts nightmarish practicality, like a combination of a vicious knuckle and a gauntlet.

If you put on this and blow the asurapa blood fist, it seemed clear that quite a few offspring would go straight to the goal.

Because there will be four holes in it.

“It is a gauntlet that shows the justice of the craftsman who made it.
“You’re right.”

I can’t agree with what Elise said, but I kind of like it.

Let’s buy this

Picking it up, the owner brought a breastplate with a crude design.

“This is a mass-produced item, and it was originally made with the assumption of cloth armor worn underneath, so it will fit the body of a large warrior. And as you requested, it is an item without any decorations. Here, the side is a belt type, so it is alone It is also easy to install.”

When I received it and installed it, it was pretty good.

It’s not much different from what I used before.

“Is that gauntlet really your idea? You have eyes to see. It’s not something you can beat and kill monsters with bare hands.”

Of course.

“I’ll buy both the breastplate and the gauntlet. How much is it?”
“If you buy two at once, I’ll give you a little discount for 20 silver.”

The real motherfucker was so expensive that I almost burst into tears. Originally, armor was not an expensive item.

ㅡFucking bastards!!!!!!!!!!

I barely suppressed my screams and took out 20 silver from my wallet and handed it to him. Anger stirs the brain.

“Have a nice day!”
“The owner too.”

Still, investing in equipment is essential, so it can’t be helped. Actually, I made a lot of money, so it’s not such a fatal expense.

“Then Elise. Let’s go to the guild now.”
“All right.”

I came out and headed back to the guild.

I have to go to the small merchant who says they are hiring adventurers.

According to Elise, she was interviewing applicants while at the guild all day long.

If so, in the first place, some sloppy people will be filtered out, and secondly, the heinous guys who are full of intentions of making money by murder will gather.

If we gather such people, the subjugation of the bandits is no different from a certain future.

“Hehe, the saint looks more reverent now that he is armed.”
Hehe, you too. Let’s go and show the bandits that justice and order exist.”
“Of course. It will be very rewarding.”

There is nothing more rewarding and profitable than killing bad guys.

After walking through such murderous chatter, we arrived at the adventurer’s guild. Compared to before, people are a little out of shape.

I went in and found a small merchant.

“Hey, the one sitting over there is a merchant.”
“You seem to be very angry about something.”
“I lost all the property attached to the wagon, so it’s a natural anger.”

I approached the gloomy-looking merchant with Elise.

“Are you the merchant who is requesting the subjugation of bandits?”
“Mi, Mirkesha? That’s right. I’m the one who commissioned the subjugation.”
“I’m Katt Kim, a D-class adventurer from Isvant. I’m a stranger from that barren land. If it’s okay, I’d like to negotiate a salary.”

He spoke while acting as a barbaric warrior in moderation.

A bit of a joke like this will build trust in me, and the reward may rise as a result.

Actually my gear and impressions. And because the size is enough to eat.

“It’s conservative… Show me your hand.”
Hehe, look here to your heart’s content.”

Class D adventurers are the core strength of the guild. Of course, this D-class hand could only be used in Isvan. Even in Krasheim, it could be eaten on a limited basis, but anyway.

The effect is lost the moment you move to another city.

But at least here it is proof of trust.

“Eh, that’s right. You seem to be quite talented… I’ll give you 30 copper per day.”
“Merchant, didn’t you say you wanted vengeance? Those bastard bastards are as good as all of them. I think 30 Cooper is not enough.”
“My story isn’t over yet. Of course, 30 copper per day is not enough for a warrior like you. Of course there are more.”

The merchant added.

“If you kill bandits on the spot, I’ll pay an additional 70 coppers for each of their heads.”

Then the story is different.

30 Cooper is just money paid every day, and it seems like a structure that gives extra money when you kill a bandit there. If you add loot to it, it’ll be a pretty decent profit.

“Then I think it’ll be fine. But what about the loot?”
“Ownership belongs to me as far as the goods bearing my seal. I am a merchant. Other than that, who cares what?”

That’s reasonable.

“Okay. From now on you are my employer.”
“You’ve come from living in a cool place, so you have a cool personality. Then, after I leave, I hope you follow my command. I’m planning to leave the day after tomorrow, so come to the guild before sunrise .If you don’t come, the contract will be broken.”

I signed a contract and reported it to the guild window. Elise also agreed to 30 copper per day. After that, when she listened closely to the power, it was said that there were 11 E-class adventurers with one D-class as hired personnel.

By the way, the E class is 10 copper per day.

Thirteen people in total.

That much power should be enough.

“Elise. Where are you staying? I’ll take you there.”
“I’m staying at the place where I stayed last time… Then thank you.”

After we finished talking, we went outside.
