Episode 252
The nickname “Golden Fairy” was a stressor that was eroding my mental strength, whether I knew it or not.
You might ask why I’m so sensitive about tinnitus, but… … . Still, I once admired a hero and made it my hope for the future.
If the tinnitus I accidentally acquired is completely opposite to my taste, I would naturally be angry.
Most people around me didn’t hesitate to call me by that nickname, whether they were being sarcastic or just having a warped sense of aesthetics.
So this guy is the first.
He called me by my real name out of consideration.
Within me, not only Lanferro but also the stock price of the clan called [Corrupted] also rose rapidly.
This was because the conclusion was that the clan that showed this level of consideration could not possibly be bad people.
Of course, it could be my imagination, but I feel like I have at least some interest.
“Go first, Mr. Lorcan. “I need to talk to this person some more.”
“Are you going to be okay?”
“are you okay. are you okay.”
Chainscythe nodded at my words, and soon got ready to leave with the intruding hero.
The Desert Scorpion hero looked this way and said.
“Golden Fairy, if you join Desert Scorpion, I promise to treat you at least five times better than Corrupted.”
“ah… yes. “I will consider it.”
“and… [Liar] Lanfero.”
“… … .”
“I hope you maintain your status as an A-class hero in front of new heroes. sincerely.”
“of course.”
Lanfero spoke with a slight smile, and the warrior hero snorted.
And finally, only me and Lanfer were left.
I weighed all the questions and asked the ones that bothered me the most.
“Is it going to rain today?”
“no.”
“But what an umbrella.”
Lanfero said with a slight smile.
“Did you know it’s ultraviolet rays? Sunlight is bad for your skin. “Just touching it accelerates aging.”
“aha… … .”
In fact, as a person who trained in Cheonhwa Jeilgong, this was a statement that I found difficult to empathize with.
For me, sunlight is the source of life, a source of energy, and the best support that restores physical strength, energy, and mental strength just by receiving it.
“hmm.”
Lanfero wiped the smile from his face.
And he speaks in a slightly lowered tone.
“Is there anything else you can ask?”
“yes?”
“For example, the liar nickname that guy just mentioned.”
I said, slightly embarrassed.
“Is the liar your senior’s nickname?”
“huh.”
“and. “I heard you got that tinnitus by chance.”
“well… … . I don’t really remember. “It happened because I just lived the way I wanted to.”
Lanfero said with a chuckle.
“Corrupted, called the worst clan. The leader there’s second name is a liar. It must be hard to find a clan this bad in Heros, but do you still want to join?”
“I’m not the type of person to be swayed by rumors or what other people say. “That clan, do you have enough space?”
“It’s almost like I’m left alone. why? Does anyone want to come in? ah. Now that I think about it, I heard that a blood-red mace also came in. Hey… “If two people join, I think we should at least throw a small party.”
Lanfero said with an excited face.
This kind of appearance seemed like a clown trying to force the atmosphere, so I felt like I was witnessing a new side of him.
I don’t know if he’s a liar, but… … .
I definitely got the feeling that he was hiding his true feelings.
At that moment, a loud horn sounded from somewhere.
“ah. “It’s starting.”
This is the moment when Lanfero muttered lowly.
One by one, people started coming out of each barracks and started fighting with those who also came out of nearby barracks.
I decided to sit down in a suitable place and take a look.
They say the most fun thing in the world is watching fireworks and fighting.
I didn’t have that much interest because I lose interest quickly if the dance isn’t at a level that can be helpful.
Perhaps because killing or seriously injuring each other was prohibited, the sense of urgency seemed relatively low.
Does it feel like grown adults playing war games?
For this reason, I watched the war with my eyes, but focused my attention on other things.
… For example, the cool breeze wiping away sweat, the touch of sunlight caressing the top of your head, and the smell of soil and plants. The feel of the hard ground beyond your shoes.
Then, the occasional battle cry seemed to fade away, and I felt a little drowsy.
Come to think of it, I had a bit of trouble sleeping last night.
“Aaaaaah-!”
Then, the moment I heard the familiar sound of fighting spirit, I was slightly drowsy.
The owner of this shout.
A boy with an overwhelmingly small physique compared to other aspiring heroes was roaming the grassland in all directions.

However, the weapon he is holding is brutal.
Every time he swings a hammer that is almost as big as his own body, a pile of dirt is dug up as if it were exploding. Of course, the people around him were scared and backed away.
“You fight well.”
I felt satisfied inside.
As expected, Mir’s level is not something that mere aspiring heroes can glimpse.
If there are no problems, you will pass the test without difficulty.
“Who is your friend?”
“That blue hair over there.”
“where?”
“hey.”
“excuse me?”
“no. hey.”
“iced coffee… … .”
No matter how many times I tell you, I can barely understand.
I tilted my head for a moment and looked at this man.
It goes without saying, but the stronger the person, the better his eyesight.
It’s not for nothing that they say that in a fight between experts, the one with the better eye wins half the battle.
However, Lanferro, a class A hero and the leader of a group even if it is a weak clan… … .
It was surprising that I couldn’t find Mir, who wasn’t that far away.
‘This man is actually very weak?’
Lanfero, who was looking at Mir, nodded thoughtfully.
“You fight well. The protection skill is also considerable. “Most people from [great families] achieve good results in Heros.”
“Is that so… … .”
Afterwards, I quietly watched the battle.
Of course, Mir’s unrivaled performance will be felt more directly by the wannabes he encounters than by those of us watching.
These guys must have sensed a crisis and at some point they joined forces and joined forces.
“Ugh… … !”
Mir was able to deal with two, three, and four people, but when there were seven to eight people, he looked very embarrassed and went on the defensive.
“oh my.”
I shook my head.
Because it was an obvious handshake.
It is correct to say that once the initiative is taken away from the majority, it is virtually impossible to regain it. Unless there is a way to turn things around.
Moreover, Mir did not seem to have any intention of killing or seriously injuring the other person.
Although it is a mindset fit for a hero, such consideration is a disadvantage in a battle like this.
As expected, it feels like there are still many shortcomings in the experiential aspect?
Fortunately, there seems to be a time limit in this grand battle, and just before we face a major failure, the horn sounds again… … .
Mir, who came back to life from death, trudged back to the barracks.
I asked Lanferro again.
“But what are the victory conditions for this grand battle?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“yes?”
“There are only conditions for defeat. Everyone who was fighting earlier had pieces of cloth tied to their forearms, right? Don’t let that be taken away. The one who loses will be eliminated from the competition and will no longer be able to participate in the competition. “If you repeat the fight like that and everyone in the tent loses their cloth, you lose.”
“hmm… Then you won’t necessarily be eliminated just because you lose a thousand, right?”
“yes. “There may be times when you struggle and lose.”
Only then did I understand the rules.
Now that I think about it, it seems like Mir just had his shoulder cloth taken away… … .
Still, there will be some comrades left in the barracks, and from what I can see, they fought quite well, so they won’t fall already.
“If you’ve seen everything, should we take a walk?”
“Let’s do that.”
I walked quietly through the meadow side by side with Lanferro.
Eastern Prairies.
A vast land extending east of the archipelago. It is home to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of tribes and beastmen, and the great forest that extends beyond this grassland is also the home of all fairy tribes.
This is my first time coming here in both my past and present lives.
In any case, it was a place with no buildings, few trees, and no mountain ranges to be seen, so you could feel the feeling of open space no matter where you looked.
Actually, my mind felt quite refreshed.
If I had come here last night when I was in a restless state of mind, all my worries, worries, and regrets would have been blown away.
It’s a kind of liberation.
The horizon, where the green vegetation and clouds seem to meet forever, is definitely a sight that can never be seen in places like the islands.
Of course, at sunset, the off-white color of the river at dusk in the archipelago was also dazzlingly impressive.
If you ask me about the superiority of the two landscapes… Honestly, it is difficult to give an answer.
Both are wonderful landscape paintings created by nature.
“Let’s take the story back… “Can I take the fact that you didn’t follow those friends just now to mean that you at least thought about listening to my proposal?”
“Right.”
“Then I have to tell you the conditions first. Well, actually, there isn’t much I can give, but as much as I can… … .”
“Wait a minute, stooooop-!”
Someone came running from far away in the meadow with a loud voice.
My expression became subtle once again.
What should I say… … .
He had a very distinctive appearance.
Slitted eyes, hooked nose, and long ears… … . And skin with a slightly green tint.
Not even a person.
A boy who doesn’t look like a goblin? kid? However, the voice I just heard was quite raspy, so he might be older than I thought.
The goblin human who came running out panting said while glaring at Lanfero.
“Brother, shut up for a moment!”
“Ugh. too bad… … .”
Ignoring Lanferro, who was drooping, the goblin looked at me.
“haha. hello? “Nari, my name is Ramon!”
“lily? “Me?”
Not even a day has passed since I officially entered Heros.
I went out today and received a B-class hero plaque. This meant that most of the heroes belonging to this organization were my seniors.
“If it’s B grade, it’s Nari. “I’m a C-level bastard.”
“aha.”
The hero named Ramon said, rubbing his hands like flies.
“I’m in charge of recruiting for Corrupted. Please share the story with me. “If there are any conditions you want, we will do our best to accommodate them.”
“Did you?”
I looked at Lanfero and nodded.
Do you think it would be easier to talk to this person?
Actually, I don’t know.
I don’t judge others based on their appearance, but this person looks like a goblin mix… … .
Still, it seems like he has something to say.
I first opened my mouth thoughtfully.
“great. Then, the king… … .”
“20 silver a month!”
Ramon cut me off as if to scold me.
I was speechless.
Actually, I was going to say, “There is no need to discuss wages.” Because money wasn’t something I really needed.
But how did Ramon perceive my silence? He looked at me and said this.
“… Ugh, um. 21 silver?”
“… … .”
“22 silver… … ! No more than this!”
I don’t know much about the average wage that a B-class hero receives, but I could roughly tell that the amount this guy was talking about was extremely low.
‘It seems like a very strained clan.’
I said, shaking my head.
“We’ll talk about it again later. “This clan called Corrupted, what is its rank?”
“uh… … .”
Ramon mumbled in a low voice.
“… “It’s level C.”
“Then what is the mission quota?”
“Hmm. You must perform one Class B mission at least once a quarter… … .”
Each clan has a quota.
Of course, I heard that the quota is also given to clan members.
They say that there are various disadvantages to clans or clan members who do not meet this quota… … .
Naturally, the higher the level of the clan, the larger the quota.
This is why I want to join a relatively unknown clan.
There is too much to do to just carry out my duties as a hero.
‘One B-class mission every three months… … .’
I think it’s pretty generous.
Of course, I don’t know the difficulty level of B-class missions.
First of all, Corrupted cleared my first criterion.
“Well, still? In our clan, we only charge a referral fee for referrals! “Compared to other clans, this is an incredible benefit!”
“Instead, isn’t it that there is only a small amount of work, or that even the most work that comes in is only processed in a short amount of time?”
“… … .”
Ramon closed his muzzle.
It seems like they hit the nail on the head.
“Well, that’s done for now. Let’s ask one last question. “Actually, this is the most important question.”
“Yes, yes. “Ask me anything!”
“What is the jurisdiction of Corrupted?”
“… … .”
Silence again.
Lanfero, who was standing next to him, also sighed.
“Well, that’s it. Where is it… … .”
Ramon, who was thinking for a moment with his yellow eyes rolling, sighed as if he realized there was no answer in the end.
“ha… f*ck. “It’s hot.”
Ramon scratched his bald head and spoke in a somewhat annoyed tone.
“… North. Also near the [Land of Severe Cold]. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it too. “It’s near the infamous Utgarde concentration camp.”
“… … .”
“know. I know. It’s a terrible place that any sane hero would want to avoid. The city is far away, it’s cold, and there aren’t many events worth earning… … . Well, I understand. “I hope you find a good clan too.”
“I will join.”
“huh?”
“I will join Corrupted.”
“… … .”
Ramon was embarrassed.
“Really?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“I like the family-like atmosphere.”
“… … .”
Then Lanfero, who was standing next to him, spoke.
“What does your young friend know? “Corrupted is a family.”
Then suddenly he started clapping his hands.
“Welcome to Corrupted~.”
“… Welcome~.”
Ramon notices and helps.
Clap clap clap clap-.
I was in the middle of the meadow, receiving the grim applause of goblins and scarecrows for a while.
That’s how my first clan was decided.
