Chapter 90 – Chapter 9

Since he had purchased the crystals, he had to find a quiet place, but since he had already entered the city, he decided to look over the requests from the mercenary guild.

In the mercenary guild, several individual mercenaries were looking for people to carry out large-scale commissions together.

The moment Lillian’s party was about to move to find the request, someone who discovered them quickly approached.

“Are you Wolf from the Wolf Mercenary Corps?”
“Right.”
“I’m glad. I tried to visit you anyway.”

The middle-aged man, who introduced himself as the branch manager of this mercenary guild, spoke openly about his business without showing any sign of hiding it.

“I have an important matter. Can we talk in a quiet place for a moment?”
“I’ll listen and see.”

Lillian and the others headed to the reception room guided by the branch manager.
Seated on a padded leather sofa, the three were served slightly inferior tea.

“I’m really sorry. These days, the circumstances are the circumstances…”
“I understand. There is no place that is not a mess because of the undead here and there.”

Even so, the scent of the tea was good.

“Then, I’d like to hear the reason why you called us here.”
“First of all, this request is not a suspicious or dirty request.

It is not that there are not famous strong players among individual mercenaries, but most individual mercenaries have reasons for disqualification from entering the mercenary corps, or the perception that they do not have the skills to do so.

“In other words, do you need mercenaries with their own reputation?”
“You’re right.”
“Tell me in detail.”

The branch manager began to explain why he had to come to Wolf himself.

In Harlot Kingdom, there is a direct hunting ground that can only be used by people of the royal family and those who have received permission from the royal family.

And deep inside the hunting grounds, there is an underground graveyard where the founding monarchs and contributors to the founding of the kingdom are buried.

“…Even if you don’t say anything, you will know roughly what happened.”
“If that was all there was to it, I wouldn’t have thought of gathering a mercenary.”
“Then?”
“The follower of the foreign press has been swindled.”
“!!”

As one would expect, among the founding contributors, the knights loyal to the Harlot family woke up as undead.

It was an unknown lich who led this, but something happened while the royal family was trying to subdue them with a direct army.

The pagans who follow the gods of another world, often called foreign gods, attacked the lich, took away everything the lich had cultivated, and turned the king’s hunting ground and graveyard into another world.

‘Lee Gye-hwa? Foreign press?’

Kaicent tilted his head at the information he heard for the first time, but for now, he focused on the conversation in silence.

“The king’s hunting grounds have become a difficult place to deal with with only regular troops due to otherworldly animals and plants. Even more so in the catacombs where pagans have settled.”
“If you’re not going to burn all the hunting grounds, you’ll have to head to the graveyard while securing the advance route.”
“And in order to supplement the minimum number of people needed to secure it, we need a mercenary group, and a mercenary group with a certain size and performance.”
“…”

Lillian sensed that this was a big deal, but worried about how dangerous it was.

If she was a general mercenary leader, she would have asked for the amount, but she told her that the Wolf Mercenary Corps was a means to take revenge on her Command Kingdom.

“I wrote down all the information related to the request in this document.”

The branch manager held out a piece of paper when Wolf was cautious and did not say anything about it.

“1000 gold coins! Plus a 5-year license for military weapons!?”

Priscilla, who watched the documents together, was shocked without realizing it.

Even if it was a thousand gold coins, the fact that he even offered a license to use military weapons as a condition of the contract also meant that Harlot Kingdom was urgent.

‘I can’t afford to buy weapons even if I give them a military weapon permit. It’s a good proposition in the long run, but the long run should be moderately far.’

No, come to think of it, you can get a commission and buy military weapons.

‘Of course, he must have thought of this and handed over the permit. I’m thinking of recovering the amount of money I spent by selling weapons.’

If there are a lot of mana users, it might be worth considering, but unfortunately, the Wolf Mercenary Corps has only recently started to have a lot of people who have learned mana.

“It’s too big, so I’ll think about it and come back.”
“Umm…Okay. Let’s wait for a good answer.”

Even if you forcefully drag a mercenary you don’t like, you will take the curse yourself.

The branch manager escorted the group out, providing information that he had to make a decision within two days, considering the distance to the capital.

Of the party that came out like that, of course Kaicent spoke first.

“What are Lee Gye-hwa and foreign media?”
“Ah, come to think of it, you don’t know much about foreign media. First of all, you know that people from different dimensions come to this world due to the weakening of the dimensional wall, right?”
“Yes.”

The foreign press collectively refers to the divine beings who learn that their followers have been moved to the world of Jelsdad.

Among them, most of the foreign media are rational and cooperative, saying that they can communicate well and should not touch the issue of dimension.

The problem is that there are also gods in an irrational and destructive world.

These gods carry out sabotage operations to make the world of Jelsdad into their own world, sending their followers to Jelsdad or converting them to destroy the world or terraforming operations to decorate it as if it were their own.

Of course, the gods of Jelsdad first and foremost block the hole in the dimension where those gods are located, but they cannot just focus on foreign invasion because they cannot just watch the connection to this world from another dimension.

The foreign press, aiming for the gap, demolished the dimensional wall, transferred its power to his followers, destroyed the other world, and continued the terraforming operation by force.

Originally, the power sent by these foreign media was accumulated and then exploded at once, but the cultists caught the chaotic situation due to the undead terror of vampires.

“The way to solve the alien world is simple. Destroy the god of foreign gods they have, and that’s it.”
“But only the result is simple, the process to get there is a problem.”
“Because they have different common sense and values ​​from our world.”

Kaicent felt sorry for Harlot Kingdom for the first time.

With the end of the civil war, when you just want to catch your breath, the vampires cause an undead terror.

“But you don’t like the terms of the contract, do you?”
“Right. Especially the license to use military weapons.”

She judged that there was no point in obtaining a license to use military weapons, and that in the worst case, the mercenary group might collapse.

Priscilla, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, opened her mouth in deep thought.

“Then, why don’t we ask for something else instead of a weapon permit?”
“The branch manager just recited an official letter from above to us. Even if negotiations were possible, there are mercenaries that are more famous and larger than ours, so why bother negotiating?”
“Umm… I guess that’s impossible…”

Lillian and Priscilla gradually moved away from accepting requests.
However, Kaicent didn’t think so.

“I’m positive about the weapons permit.”
“Isn’t there anyone available?”
“I have this.”

Then, as they flicked the belt, a number of thoughts flashed into the eyes of the two women.

“You can just buy a few weapons and me and Skynet can reverse engineer them. You’ll have to buy the materials you need, but it’s cheaper than buying the finished product.”
“…”

If people say this, they will ask if military weapons are funny, but it made me hope that it might be possible with the talent that I have shown so far.

“I don’t know much about foreign media, and I don’t know much about Lee Gye-hwa. All I can do is expand my options.”

Kaicent, who could indirectly feel how difficult this task was through the completion of the quest, advised Lillian on providing more options.

This alone is already enough and overflowing, but I didn’t think so.

‘If I had been stronger, Lillian wouldn’t have worried like this.’

A woman of her own is hesitating whether or not to cross a dangerous road.

Having received his father’s mental education since childhood and growing up as a male rather than a boy, he blamed himself for being so incompetent that Lillian was worried about this.

“Let’s think about this later. For now, we need to focus on raising the level of prana.”

Lillian decided to put aside the agenda for her request and focus on the immediate problem of absorbing her crystal.

She went out of the city, told the members that she would be away for a while to absorb prana, and entered the barracks she had set up in the corner.

“Priscilla.”
“Okay.”

In case of emergency, Priscilla looked around with eyes that threatened to slash anyone who made a fuss outside the barracks.

“I’ll eat now.”
“Yes.”

In her underwear, Lillian sent a signal to Kai Sent, who raised her hands on her back to check her condition, and swallowed her crystal.”

The crystals in her mouth melt in an instant and burrow into her body.

‘The complex and diverse energy of the crystal meets mana and seeps into the body, and the body is being reconstructed internally. This is a micro-part version of the metamorphosis her father did for us.’

Prana was a process of reconstructing the body little by little using various complex energy and mana.

Stable without side effects.
To make your body fit for battle.

The reason why they insist on prana even though they have otherworldly knowledge of the inner core method and the mana road is probably because of the superiority that anyone can become stable and strong just by swallowing a crystal.

‘Now, if you endure this reconstruction, you will rise to the next level, and if you endure the limits of your talent or reorganization, you will rise to the next level.’

After learning how Prana can elevate her level, Kaicent suddenly had a certain desire.

‘I learned how to metamorphosis from my father’s body. It’s difficult to metamorphose to the same level as my father, but what if the body is being reconstructed now?’

But what if that fails?
No, it’s rather fortunate if it fails, and what if there are side effects?

The timid Kai Sent came to mind, but she mustered up her courage because she didn’t feel like she was going to fail.

“Lillian, don’t be alarmed.”
“?”

Lillian, who was concentrating on absorbing the energy of the crystal, was startled when she felt a foreign mana outside of her.

‘I need everything needed to strengthen Lillian!’

In addition, with a short prayer (?), Kaicent, who gathered even his divine power, pushed it toward the body being reconstructed.

By manipulating his internal energy and divine power in detail, he moderately stimulated the bloodstream to push out the waste and supported the level of reconstitution to be higher.

If an untrustworthy stranger had done this, he would have cut his throat right away, but Lillian did not resist, choosing to trust her husband.

Whoaaaaa

‘My body!?’

Lillian, who had entrusted herself to Kai Cent’s hands, felt fear of the unknown as the reconstructed body exceeded the normal level and filled his body with inner air and divine power.

Chagura la la la rock

Until a sound I had never heard before resonated in my body.
Even as she closed her eyes tightly, she entrusted her everything to Kai Sent.

“Whoah… That’s okay, Lillian.”

As Kai Sent removed her hand from her back, her nerves from her overexertion relaxed.

“I feel refreshed…Ugh! What is this smell!?”
“Note…”

As she relaxed, what she felt was a freshness she had never felt before, and a stench that made her eyebrows frown.

“Li…Lillian’s waste…Water…Is…”
“…”

What was this smell of hers, she continued to ask, and the answers she heard made her feel ashamed of her own stupidity for not ignoring it.

“Wait a minute.”

Kai Sent used her divine powers to conjure water over her Lillian’s head, spraying her like a shower head.

Feeling that her underwear was soaked in the foul-smelling water, she decided to get her new underwear.
After washing her body like that, he turned the ground over to remove the source of the stench.

“How are you feeling?”
“First of all… It’s very refreshing. It seems strangely overflowing with energy. But you know that it was very dangerous, right?”
“I’m sorry. But I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat crystals again…”

When Kaicent, who said she would only confirm the rise of prana with crystals, suddenly intervened with her power, her heart pounded.

However, when he saw the little boy lowering his head and looking apologetically at his complexion, the anger that was about to rise subsided.

“Ha ha. Anyway, as long as the results are good, it’s fine.”

Lillian decided to get dressed without her underwear and then go back to her own barracks to find her underwear.

The moment she threw off the underwear she was wearing and walked toward the clothes she had kept away from her just in case,

Huung – Kwadangtang!

“Ugh!?”

Her body flew forward and she lost her balance and collapsed.

“Lee, Lillian! Are you okay!?”
“Lillian? What’s up?”

Kaicent jumped at Lillian’s sudden collapse, and Priscilla jumped at the commotion.

“…”

She had been through this situation once before.
It is when the mind reaches the level of expert, which is the starting point of a superman, and the mind cannot keep up with the body that has become too strong.

Lillian grabbed her own greatsword, which had just fallen close to her, and blew her mana.

Woo woo woo woo—!!

Until now, when she made her sword skill, it was at a level where a translucent aura was covered, but now that she could see her sword skill, it was not translucent, but a clear blue sword covering her sword.

The Murim people call those who have mastered the sword and mana road aura blades.

“Kaisent. What the hell did you do to my body?”

Showing a skill that only those who reached her master’s level can show, Lillian put on her foolishly dazed expression at Kai Sent, who was touching her own body.
