00080 New Face ———————————————– ————————–=
“brother. “I want to ask you one thing.”
“huh?”
“Is it possible that you are… Are you waiting for those users?”
The moment Ahn Hyun finished speaking, everyone’s movements stopped. Yoo Jeong-do was about to kick Ahn Hyeon’s shin. Viviando was sitting next to her and stopping her. And Sol, who was quietly watching. It was as if I had been put under a spell to stop moving, and only the sound of breathing could be heard, and everyone’s eyes were focused on Anhyeon and me.
I looked at Anhyeon with eyes that said, “Look at this guy?” His eyes were animated with politeness.
In the past, my kids got scolded by me for rashly talking about going on an expedition. From then on, it seemed like they were just quietly whispering among themselves, but this time, Ahn Hyun spoke in a roundabout way. In other words, the gist of Ahn Hyeon’s current question to me could be seen as “Aren’t you still going on your next expedition because you’re waiting for those users?”
I looked at Ahn Hyeon and the kids with hollow eyes. He opened his mouth in a calm voice.
“okay. “I’m waiting for those two now.”
“ah… .”
Amid Ahn Hyun’s short exclamation, I looked at the kids’ reactions. Anhyun’s head was tilted, and Yujeong was just tilting her head blankly. Sol’s expression was complex and subtle, and Vivien’s face was a little dark.
“Then are you planning on adding more people to your party?”
In response to Yoo-jeong’s question, I put down the spoon and intertwined my fingers. I placed my chin on it and continued speaking.
“I was planning on talking about it sometime, but I think it might be better to talk about it now.”
“Are you talking about receiving more companions in the future?”
“There is that, and furthermore, about the clan we will create.”
I reached into my pocket and took out a tobacco candle. The surroundings were noisy. Users who talk loudly, users who get into fights, users who try to touch Goyeonju’s butt and get kicked out, and users who have serious conversations with their friends. After putting the tobacco in my mouth, I lit it.
“But will he really come? We are still in our 0th year and he seems to have some experience… .”
Ansol trailed off, but most of the kids seemed to sympathize with Sol’s words. There was nothing wrong with what she said, but there was one thing she overlooked. That was Vivien.
“But technically speaking, there is no need for wizards in our caravan at the moment.”
“Eh? “Aren’t we magic users the most lacking?”
“Not anymore. “There’s Vivien.”
The kids’ eyes turned to Vivien for a moment. And Vivian, who had been secretly slurping noodles, stopped inhaling with a look on her face that said she had caught it. A moment of silence passed, and a few strands of noodles sticking out of Vivien’s lips fluttered in the air. After calming her down as she started to get more and more tearful, I opened her mouth.
“You can eat Vivian. are you okay. “You guys also listen while you eat.”
However, not a single child raised a spoon. Vivian quickly ate the noodles with an even more embarrassed look on her face and then calmly put down the spoon. I reached out my hand and cleaned up the food from around her mouth. Vivian said she made a slight gesture of rejection. As I heard Yoo-jeong’s breathing getting heavier, I immediately withdrew my hand.
“You may have seen it before, but Vivien is a wizard of great skill. There’s that female wizard we saw in the square a while ago after we left the rite of passage. “Did you say she was Yubin?”
“That bitch who only followed Park Hyun-woo?”
“okay. “She is a famous wizard in her own right in Barbara, but even if those two wizards come, they won’t be able to defeat Vivian.”
Anhyeon and Ansol looked at Vivien with new eyes. Vivien cleared his throat for a moment and straightened his back. Yu-jeong had an unappealing face, but he didn’t say anything else.
“Three people nearby. One wizard. One priest. Maybe the proportions of the caravan are just right now. Nevertheless, I am waiting for those two wizards… “It’s because I think it’s suitable for the clan’s recruitment target.”
He pauses for a moment, takes a sip of the tobacco, and spits it out again. I smiled with satisfaction as I looked at the hazy smoke spreading into the air. The kids were quietly waiting for my next words.
“The clan I want to create has two characteristics. “One is a small elite clan, and the other is a clan with mercenary characteristics.”
“So Soo-jeong Ye and… “A mercenary?”
Anhyeon asked back as if he didn’t understand. The kids also tilted their heads. To be honest, the mercenary-type clan involved some difficult topics, so I wasn’t confident in making them understand. but. I thought it would be better to explain briefly now.
“A small number of elites is exactly what it sounds like. If you create a clan, you will receive clan members in the future. In that case, rather than creating a clan where just anyone can accept it, we should select the top users or those who have the qualities to become such users and accept them separately.”
This was something only I could do. Top users can be recruited based on reputation, but quality users are difficult to identify without a third eye like me. Of course, there are users who show great skills from the beginning, but there are also quite a few users who just wait a long time. And the measure to measure that was ability. I also remembered some of the promising new users to come. In other words, it was a huge head start in the future recruitment competition. but.
“For that to happen, our clan must also have a reputation. If the clan we created appears to be just a small clan, there is a high possibility that it will be rejected even if we are offered recruitment. So I want to create a clan with mercenary traits.”
Vivien and Sol were listening intently. However, Anhyun and Yujeong’s faces were slowly frowning. It’s not that their brains are bad, and their brains are quite fast, but when both of them heard these stories, their brains didn’t seem to be spinning. To give the kids some time to think, I took a sip of tobacco.
The first person to speak was Yu-jeong, who had an impatient personality.
“brother. I don’t understand. “What does mercenary-oriented clans have to do with building reputation?”
“Mercenaries are people who receive money and carry out a mission. Among the current clans, there is not a single one with characteristics similar to ours. Everyone mainly performs only the missions designated by Barbara and corresponding to their location roles in the city. “In the meantime, if a clan with mercenary characteristics comes out, I’m bound to be interested.”
“still… I don’t think it will work out that way… . “Wouldn’t all the established clans scoff at it?”
I smiled softly. By the time I left Mule, I planned to let people know that I was a swordsman expert and that Vivian was a chimera alchemist. In addition, we can make one more Chimera Alchemist, and if we are lucky, we can make Ahn Hyun a Qigong Spearman. Ignoring a clan with one secret class and three rare classes?
The answer was a resounding no. Of course, there will be few requests in the beginning, but on the contrary, there will be a line up of clans that will try their best to merge. And we planned to gradually increase our power while maintaining neutrality.
Sol, who was thinking about my words, quietly raised his hand.
“Brother. “Then are you thinking about becoming a free mercenary?”
“yes.”
As expected, Ansol, an honor student, immediately hit what I was thinking of. She smiled awkwardly for a moment and then continued her words.
“I was wondering why your brother didn’t register as a citizen of the Northern Continent, and that’s what you were thinking. However, I heard that if you register as a free mercenary, you and your clan will suffer disadvantages compared to users or clans who register as regular citizens.”
“It’s hard to see it as a disadvantage. It’s just that I don’t receive preferential treatment. You can just think of us continuing our lives as we are now. And if you look at those privileges one by one, they are all useless. “You don’t have to regret it.”
Free mercenary registration. Free mercenary clan. In other words, there was no need to be tied to the North Continent or any city within it. First of all, since we live in the Northern Continent, all ordinary users have the obligation to be called in in case of an emergency.
But free mercenaries are different. It is safe to say that we are liberated from all such responsibilities and obligations. As such, I didn’t receive the preferential treatment that Sol mentioned, but if you look at all of those privileges, there were a lot of really funny things about them.
Later, when you earn some money, you can get a discount on buying a privately owned house or a clan house for a guild. Or when it comes to protecting you from vagabonds. When general registered users are given priority during large-scale expeditions. Or, if you go on an expedition and suffer a major blow, the city provides a certain amount of support and helps you recover, etc.
At first glance, there are many provisions that are appealing, but if you look at them in detail, they are all nothing more than good-for-nothing nonsense. As the second half progressed, everything on the hole plane seemed useless. Of course, there are more provisions than the above, but they are all nonsense. Looking into the future, the value of the freedom of being a free mercenary can be seen to be much higher than such useless privileges.
That future is not far away. It’s been a month since I came to Mule, so the expedition to the Steel Mountains led by the Golden Lion Clan is leaving in two months. Considering the civil wars that followed, all of the above provisions are nothing more than scraps of paper. And that is when the identity of freedom shines, and the power of a cause arises.
Not tied to any continent or any city. The power and cause to confidently take any action while maintaining neutrality.
But it was impossible to tell all of these things now. No, before that, children still lacked the ability to judge what is right and what is wrong. When it came to simple combat, I was opening my eyes little by little, but that was it. Well, it was a bit too much to ask the kids who had just come out of Hall Plain to respond to the sensitive trends of the world. However, if we do not follow the trend, we will eventually be left behind.
There was silence at the table for a moment. Suddenly, the noise around me was greatly reduced. Suddenly, I looked at Vivien as I saw the intangible membrane surrounding us. I saw Vivian’s eyes squinting. I decided that these were somewhat important things, so I put up a shield to prevent my words from being leaked. I responded with a bright smile.
“but. Honestly, it was the same when I first left Barbara. But his older brother was a proud success. “There are still many things I don’t know, but I’ll just trust and follow him.”
Anhyeon took a deep breath and opened his mouth as if making a declaration. I lowered my head.
“okay. There is still time, so take your time and think about it. The day will surely come when the value of my status as a free mercenary will shine. “I certainly think so.”
Yujeong was just nodding her head with an expression on her face that didn’t know anything. In the first place, it was unthinkable that Sol would rebel against me, and since Vivien had signed the contract, she would simply follow my lead. Rather, Ahn Hyeon’s complexion was slightly flushed and he seemed a little excited to hear that it was a small group of elites.
“hmm… “Then did you think that she had what it took to become her top user?”
“yes. That user too. And you too.”
“swimming… . But who is it? Did you say Shin Sang-yong? “I don’t know much about that guy.”
After hearing Yoo-jeong’s words, I immediately remembered the information about Shin Sang-yong that I had seen before.

I’ll say it again, but magic is a battle of magical abilities. Unless his strength, durability, and agility are so low that he looks like a real idiot. And if all the conditions were met, it was magical to be considered first. That’s why I currently have Jeong Ha-yeon as Shin Sang-yong’s superior.
Of course, having high magical power and other abilities would be the icing on the cake, but that was literally a scam. Just like me.
Shin Sang-yong’s abilities are at a decent level considering he is only in his second year, and he appears to have the qualities to become a high-level user. But I was still withholding judgment on that. I was holding Jinmyeong as the standard for evaluating his ultimate value.
A person who pursues the truth of the magic square. Because it was my first time seeing Jinmyeong like that, it was difficult for me to judge him too harshly. At that time, I felt regretful that I should have used a little more effort to see all of my special abilities and potential abilities.
It was then.
“Mr. Kim Soo-hyun.”
I heard Go Yeon-ju’s voice calling me softly, and I felt the inn door open behind me. Soon, I sensed familiar footsteps. They say the tiger will come when you tell it to, and it looks like it came again today.
