Chapter 62 – Chapter 7

As the day dawned, the mercenaries who were struggling with the morale of the undead rose from their seats.

They thought they would die like this and become undead, but when they learned that the leader had paid for their treatment, the atmosphere that had almost gone down due to unexpected damage actually rose.

In particular, those who came over from other mercenaries remembered how their colleague who was killed by the undead died while receiving only trauma, so their loyalty to Wolf grew stronger.

But there was a hidden truth here.

“I’m glad. Your treatment worked.”
“Yes. I’m really glad.”

The priests only removed fraud, but they did not treat those whose vitality was gnawed by fraud, so it would have taken 3-4 days for them to wake up as usual.

Concerned about the mercenaries, Kaicent, who checked the condition, had to feel anger again at the priests’ behavior for not restoring the gnawed vitality.

If he hadn’t felt Kai Sent going, he would have had to spend his days worrying until they woke up.

Of course, using divine power would be a headache in many ways, but only Kaicent and Lillian kept this fact.

In any case, Kaicent gained new strength, and the mercenary corps overcame deaths and gained the loyalty of the mercenaries.

Everything went smoothly, but Kaicent was troubled.

‘It’s strange. Why isn’t Lillian pregnant?’

Until now, I thought it was just bad luck or it wasn’t my ovulation day.

So, after forcibly causing ovulation with divine power, she did not conceive even though her stomach became convex and semen was inserted to the extent that the uterus was pickled.

‘Lilian said she could feel the strong life force in my semen. In particular, she said that if she had sex with me, even if she didn’t sleep, she felt refreshed and even her skin improved. She’s gone this far and she’s not pregnant means there’s something else.’

Kai Cent has had sex with her all this time, with the intention of impregnating Lillian with her sincerity.
Even if her problems arise later, he is determined to feed her himself.

‘The inner core method my father taught me.’

Come to think of it, there was one older brother who had several women before he became independent.

She had sex with so many women that even she happened to witness it a few times, but she couldn’t give birth to a child.

I remember that after such a brother became independent, the wives who were with him as if they had been waiting for them asked for financial help from their older sisters while mass-producing.

‘In other words, it is allowed to enjoy women until independence, but impregnation means that only after independence.’

For the first time, Kaicent seriously contemplated abandoning the inner core method and switching to prana.

This internal air simbeop made her who she is now, but if she couldn’t impregnate her own woman, the story would be different.

‘By the way, isn’t her father’s support coming? Now that I’ve found out where I am, I thought various support would come.’

While organizing the camp with other mercenaries by making several magician hands, he looked up at the sky.

‘Does the time of this world and the home world have a different flow?’

*                           *

“Okay. Decided.”
“Yes?”

Kunlo looked at Jincheon, who said he had decided without explanation, as if he was looking at something ominous.

“I’m going to go to the middle of the day. They really make me angry.”
“Master! Wait! Calm down! It’s Master!!”
“It’s okay. I won’t fight. Once. I’ll hit you in the stomach just once.”
“Are you openly declaring war!”
“It’s as if those bastards who fed you 50 times in a row declared war first!”

Jincheon, who repeatedly wanted to make armor to protect Kaicent, returned 50 times in a row, and eventually exploded with irritation.

For Jincheon, a hedonist, the prisoner-like repetitive activity of digging and filling the ground is tantamount to torture.

“What would you do if the eldest housewife found out?”
“It’s okay. Woe to me, Ha-yeon. This may sound trashy, but Ha-yeon tends to use her children as tools for our happiness.”
“That’s what Master wants. But the second mother and the fourth mother are different. They’ll cry and shout, won’t they?”
“…Whoa…”

The two people with strong family love will make a fuss as Kunlo said.

As the disciple was barely able to afford it, the true Jin Cheon took a deep breath and calmed his anger.

“I don’t think it’s going to be difficult to get a passing grade this way. Why don’t you think differently?”
“You change your mind?”
“So far, we’ve focused on making weapons that can protect the young boy from any danger.”
“It did.”
“How about supporting convenience-oriented and indirect ways to become stronger, rather than weapons that can physically increase the boy’s combat power?”
“Hmm?”

As if interested in Kunlo’s words, Jincheon stroked his chin and thought about it calmly.

“Let’s do that.”

After splitting his mind into thousands of pieces for about 2 seconds and accelerating the time inside his brain, after 174 hours of discussion, Jin-Chun accepted Kun-Lo’s proposal.

“Then what…”
“I’ve already decided.”

The 174 hours were not simply spent deciding whether or not to accept Kunlo’s proposal, but it also included time to carefully consider what to send to Kaisent.

“There is no weapon that can destroy the balance of the world.

Jincheon, who suppressed his anger, let out a voice that seemed to be heard by the gods of another dimension, and started making things that Kaicent could live comfortably.

*                           *

Kaicent was in many troubles, but regardless of him, the Wolf Mercenary Corps returned to the city where they had been commissioned to inform them that they had carried out the commission.

In the past, I could feel the liveliness of life that was moderately noisy,

Noisily noisily—

“Sir! The four-year-old is crying!”
“Please! Money to buy a loaf of bread!”

This time a grim commotion was overflowing from one corner of the city to another.
As the undead attacked the village, a large number of refugees appeared.

If you come back after solving the mission and it looks like this, it means that it happened a week or two ago, not yesterday or today.

It seems that the existence of the deadly wave came to know as the refugees flocked to the timing of the Wolf Mercenary Corps fighting the undead.

“It seems we’re not alone.”

It was judged that it did not matter if they did not have to inform the undead of the undead, the existence of the deadly wave, and the fact that there were vampires behind it.

“I thought the civil war would end now, but this time it’s a deadly wave.”
“…”
“Lillian. It’s impossible to maintain the mercenary corps in this state.”
“…I know. I know, but…”

If it was a normal deadly wave, I would have just ignored it.
However, she found out that there are vampires behind this incident.

She vowed to avenge her against the Realm of the Dead, so she couldn’t let go of them even when she saw them trying to expand their power.

“There were vampires in this situation. I know that. So I have to go to another area even more. Let’s buy enough food elsewhere and come back.”
“…Okay.”

Lillian and Frederick chose to carry out their mission reliably after purchasing enough food in other areas.

Of course, it is possible to grow rapidly only by taking risks and taking risks, but if the risk is food, the story is different.

“There is still plenty of food, and there are people who have left, so I’d like to replenish about 20 new recruits.”
“Hmm. Certainly, it’s easy to gather one person, but it’s easy to gather even a bunch of people.”
“That part we have to figure out.”

Lillian wanted to recruit new recruits easily, given that the ransom and weekly wages of recruits were much lower than that of skilled mercenaries, and that refugees were gathering in many places.

At the time of the civil war, most of the useful men were conscripted or fled into the mountains to avoid being conscripted.

Now that the civil war is over and the deadly wave only increases the number of undead if you respond with its soldiers, it has become basic common knowledge as several kingdoms have been destroyed.

Since the unneeded conscripts were disbanded, increasing the size of the mercenary corps was no problem.

While the two headed to the mercenary guild were discussing new recruits, Kaicent was heading to the forge with several mercenaries.

As explained before, it is to give Kaicent various experiences.

“There are several forges? All of them are big buildings.”
“Blacksmiths have changed as the 21st century earthlings spread this and that knowledge.”
“In the old days, blacksmiths never revealed their skills to others, but they insisted that Earthlings should share their skills with each other to obtain even better skills.”

Blacksmiths who accepted the claim came together as one and shared their skills, resulting in a synergistic effect, and blacksmiths who were able to make superior items than others created a ‘company’.

“…I thought about it before, but if it wasn’t for democracy or something like that, the 21st century earthlings might have lived in awe.”
“Gig gigg kik. That’s what I mean. To be honest, there are some guys who don’t care about that, but there must have been some guys who were covered in dumping.”

The presence of earthlings from the 21st century is felt here and there, but they were all executed for disturbing the aristocratic order.

If the order of imparting knowledge had changed, if the power of guns hadn’t been overestimated, I wonder if this world would have accepted the ideology of democracy by now.

Kai Sent chatted with his mercenaries and sold the captured weapons at a nearby arms shop.

Knowing nothing, he remembered how and by what criteria looted armor was valued.

“Wolf’s Mercenaries?”
“Huh?”
“What?”

After selling their weapons, they were surrounded by terrifying mercenaries.

“That kid.”
“What? He’s younger than I heard. Is he really an excellent wizard?”
“Huh!? You!”

Someone from Wolf’s mercenary corps pointed a finger at someone among the mercenaries besieging them.
He was a member of Wolf’s mercenary group, but was scouted by another mercenary group and left.

“Calm down. This is a city, and it’s a shopping mall. There won’t be enough idiots to cause violence in a place like this.”

Frederick’s trusted lieutenant calmed his comrades.

“It’s fortunate that there’s a guy we can talk to. Like you said, we’re just here to talk. Let’s move on for a while.”
“I’ll tell you in advance, if you’re going to move to an obscure place, I’ll just run away.”
“I told you. I’m only here to talk.”

Guards will come when you occupy the middle of the shopping district.
That’s why the mercenaries moved to a place where people don’t come often, although it’s not obnoxious.

“Tell me directly. Your name is Kaicent?”
“…So what?”

Kaicent replied, preparing to use magic immediately if the mercenaries who came to visit him did something.

“We are the Rhinol mercenaries.”
“Rhinol Mercenary Corps…”
“I was wondering if I saw that pattern…”

On the shoulders of the armor worn by the mercenaries, the pattern of a hammer striking the helmet was drawn.

‘Lynol mercenaries. I heard that it is one of the largest mercenary groups in the western continent, and even has a permit to use military weapons.’

As explained before, military weapons cannot be used in civilian life, but permits are issued to those who can make ‘due’ procedures and ‘money sacrifices’.

Military weapons can be used until the country that issued the license officially revoked it or collapsed.

Getting a weapon is a different story.

Anyway, armed with 3,000 people and various military weapons, the Rhynol Mercenary Corps became even more famous by playing a big role in the civil war in Harlot Kingdom.

In the mercenary industry, a famous mercenary group whose name is known even on the East Continent approached Kaicent.

Perhaps the man with the overall solid-looking physique and the newly created scar on the bridge of his nose was the representative, and he himself opened his mouth.

“Little wizard. How do you think the value of a mercenary is recognized?”
“The value of a mercenary? Isn’t it about how well you solve the request?”
“Maybe it’s because he’s a wizard, but he has a brain. As you said, the value of a mercenary depends on fulfilling the employer’s request somehow. Strength comes second.”
“Why are you telling me that?”
“After you distinguished yourself in the Wolf Corps, the Wolf Corps has successfully completed several missions without any deaths. In other words, you have the means to increase the value of mercenaries.”

Scar Man blew his paper out of his pocket towards Kai Sent.

“We don’t intend to cheat by dazzling you with fancy words. We’ll show you simple and clear numbers so that anyone can understand.”
“Uh…Uh…!? Employment cost 80 gold coins! Weekly wage is 4 gold coins!?”
“What!?”

When the mercenary close to Kaicent read the contents of the paper in amazement, the other mercenaries were also shocked.

In general, the average mercenary’s weekly wage is one silver coin.
If you have excellent skills, you will increase even more, but you must be at least standard 5 to go up to gold coins.

“No, that’s ridiculous! No matter how big the Rhinol mercenaries are, but…!”
“Our mercenary corps usually divides into 100 units and carries out various requests at the same time. In addition, they played a big role in this civil war and have plenty of finances.
“Right…”
“Nice…”

Wolf’s mercenaries were strong, but the mercenaries with Kaicent couldn’t open their mouths when the numbers were so different.

“In addition, I know that you are a different species, and that you want to be saved by Wolf and return the favor. If you join our mercenary corps, we will give 100 gold coins to the mercenary corps. The cost of saving lives is more than enough.”
“…”
“…”
“If you tell me that you don’t need to pay to Wolf’s mercenary corps, I’ll add this 100 gold coins to your employment expenses.”

The mercenary who escaped from Wolf’s mercenary corps must have revealed all the information, and even completely blocked the retreat.

The other mercenaries couldn’t even emphasize loyalty as they became tired of the amount of money far away from the unit they were playing with.

According to the mercenary who made the offer, 100 gold coins would be more than enough for his life.

“Is this the end of the offer?”
“Yes. Now, only your answer…”
“I will refuse.”
“…Can I hear the reason?”

The mercenary who made the proposal was rather perplexed by the appearance of Kaicent, who refuted at once without pretending to be worried.

“Because there are many more important things in the world than money.”
“It’s a matter of loyalty…”
“It’s not such an innocent story. I also think that I’ve paid enough for my life while helping Wolf’s mercenary so far.”
“But why?”
“First of all, two reasons.”

Kai Sent stretched out his first finger.

“That my goal and Volf’s are the same.”

He then extended his second finger.

“I can earn as much money as I want anyway, so why bother?”
“…”
“…”

He was expressing his confidence that he could make any amount of money if it was his ability.

Ordinary mercenaries roll their eyes when they hear it, and there are large amounts of money that can betray even their parents and siblings.

Both the Rhynol mercenary and the Wolf mercenary opened their mouths in amazement as their eyes focused on Kaicent.

“…Huh… Heh heh…”

The mercenary who made the proposal looked into Kaicent’s eyes and smiled.
Because he really didn’t care about money.

‘Hey, I heard he’s a timid guy?’
‘I’m a really timid guy!’

When I tried to question the man from Wolf’s mercenary corps with his eyes if he gave me the wrong information.

“Now, wait a minute. Don’t everyone look at me like that. You’ll be embarrassed.”

As everyone’s eyes gathered, he looked away shyly as if the information that he had a timid personality was correct.

‘What kind of guy is this?’

Clearly, he has a timid and tender personality.
However, they reject their offer without thinking about it.

In other words, a boy with such a timid personality expressed his refusal to leave the Wolf Mercenary Corps to the extent that he did not think about it for even a second.

‘Abandoning your woman. I can’t hear that.’

Normally, he would react timidly, but if it was something related to his woman, he was prepared to risk his life and risk his life.

As evidence of that, didn’t he take risks to save Dang Seol-young even in the past when he was more cowardly than he is now?

For Kaicent, who thought of Lillian as his own woman, asking him to throw away her love for nothing was nonsense.

“You’re going to be… An idiot or a mogul you can’t even imagine.”
“Still, I’m grateful for giving me a high rating and suggesting it.”
“Then, unfortunately, the proposal is…”

Taang! Too-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!

“!!”
“!!”

Just as the recruiting offer was about to end in rejection, a gunshot was heard from somewhere.
It is also fired in a barrage.
