Vol 6 Chapter 6 (1/2)

ACT 6 I’m a fan!

“Alan, is this really the way to do it?”

Andel yelled in an angry voice Alan sighed in frustration

“How many times do I have to say it? Now is not the ti”

“It’s not? What were you doing while I was in Cairo? I received the dog treat! Ark treated ht hiain They just carelessly talked in front of !”

……This was around the one hundredth tiradually became more fired up and spat our saliva as he talked wildly

“Do you thing I would casually accept such a thing? No, do you think that I would forget e?”

Alan had no interest in what Andel was saying It was Andel that had a debt to clear with Ark, not Alan If he thought about it closely, there was no reason for hie on Ark He was just a nuisance to his eyes But it see an obstacle Since he hadn’t received any decisive da If so, he would like to get rid of hiuy for no reason But he lacked the motivation to chase him and postponed it for other i his teeth beside him Alan would have to coax hiuy It was only just that However……

‘Honestly, I find you ht now’

Alan becalance towards Andel Although Nagaran was peaceful today, he couldn’t guarantee what the battlefield would be like toaran Thousands of users frodoaran, but the nuuilds was only in the hundreds Of course, they rushed into a prolonged war

‘If I occupy the throne carelessly, there will be a concentrated attack fro for an opportunity’

Indeed, at the beginning someone carelessly took the throne and after 30 minutes of a concentrated attack, all the members were exterminated Therefore, it becaaran He noticed that uilds in the same situation studied each other They would then increase the supporters using secret dealings and one of the guilds would be expanded, and this would be repeatedIntrigue and betrayal! It’s standard was bloodier than reality because of the enor to an end They either subuild or they would join forces and begin earnestly building up their power to occupy a castle And they also prepared a plan to keep the castle for a long time once they’ve occupied it Of course, ‘Dawn Blade’ led by Alan was one of the aran was about to begin!

‘All the necessary preparations are finished Now all that’s left if the ti Victory or defeat will be decided by when I move’

The place Alan was targeting was Silvana in the southern part

‘A the 4 properties in the south, Silvana has the best location The distance between the three kingdoood place to develop trade When it becaaran would definitely by the centre of trade in New World If I can develop Silvana well then ‘Dawn Blade’ will definitely be the strongest guild!’

Alan prepared for it without hesitation And when he was trying to march to Silvana to occupy it, that hen Andel visited

‘He is a guy that doesn’t think……!’

Andel just acted without thinking There were several reasons that Alan had brought forces to Nagaran within a short tirasp situations quicker than other people and if there was friction with the other allied forces, he would either placate theroas also useful The Cathedral’s bishop would conveniently receive a share of Silvana’s profit if Alan occupied it in return for some covert help The cathedral has sent 20 mercenaries to support’ Dawn Blade’ They also ensured that they were provided with a large amount of ammunition However, the most influential factor in expansion was none other than his reputationAlan was recognized as the Holy Knight! It was the storybook ihteously pursue justice! That public ily iy of the Three Kingdoe of Alan had been crafted so carefully that it had a large iuilds even approached him intentionally to form an alliance

‘The e’

What would happen if it was known that Alan had hired assassins to take care of Ark?

………It would likely spread and becoet rid of Andel

‘Andel right now is in a poisonous state I don’t want to say so cruel and make it even worse But with the o look for Ark……his head is like a pebble How do I explain it to him so that he understands how iuy’

Eventually, Alan headed out with Andel to where the a procured In the time it took to receive the military supplies, he tried to see if he could coax Andel However, no ive up on catching Ark

“That Ark is already over level 100 In addition, they see Cairo Are you just going to leave them alone?”

“I told you The Dark Brother organization now has a hostile relationshi+p with Ark Even if we don’t do anything, they won’t leave him alone”

“You don’t understand at all Even if the Dark Brothers kill Ark dozens of tie I won’t be satisfied until I beat him with my own hands!”

“Of course Ark requires direct handling But right now there is more important matters”

“I a castle a game as well? What on earth should I understand Yes, it’s just a gaauy? Isn’t it?”

“……………”

He let out a sigh He’s not a child so what do should he say to ht it would be easier to sit an ogre down and persuade it than Andel When Alan turned his head, Andel i the two of thearan

“Eh? T-that guy……!”

Andel swelled up like a ball and stuttered As the carriage approached the border, the for A smile spread on Andel’s mouth

“That is the merchant that was in Cairo with Ark!”

“Hyu………!”

Sid eating as he looked up at the clear blue sky He had walked non-stop for the first few hours on a steep e but it wasn’t an easy task But the idea that it was difficult didn’t hold at all

“Hu hu hu hu”

Rather, whenever a heavy feeling appeared in the storage coh

“This is what I have been wanting to do since I first came here……”

When he arrived at the border of Nagaran, he had experienced some deep e when it was short, or short when it was long However, Sid was atime for him After all, warriors and eons and fighting a boss round That was every warrior’s fantasy But aa large profit froaran, Sid had such a dream

‘War is money!’

That was an undeniable law In Nagaran there would be a bloody war between guilds! It was the best place for selling the various scrolls he bought fro for Sid when he arrived at Nagaran Nagaran was declared a war area In other words, even if a user killed soerous thing in a sense Users could be killed without penalty Unlike the [Robbery] scroll as used to steal an itedoaran to be a simple lawless area No, that was certainly the case Because of that, there were signposts at the Nagaran border to prevent people walking in without knowing The kings of the Schudenberg, Bristania and Sinius Principality also forbid any scrolls for used If they used a scroll then it would be considered a rebellion against the royal fadoms Sid’s s was 90

‘Ark-ni a profit of more than 50………’

If it wasn’t possible to use scrolls inside Nagaran, then it wouldn’t be possible to receive a fair price for them No, he didn’t even know if he could sell them

‘Ark-ni it for 60~70 of the listed price!’

Sid knew and was terrified of how obsessed Ark ith old investment with a loss, then Sid would really be made to drink soup

‘If Ark was in this situation, ould he do?’

Ark was a warrior, yet he earned more money than Sid Even when the assassins forced hi ive up in any situation where it was possible to make money Sid was the only user who closely watched Ark’s obsession withmoney

‘If it was Ark-niive up! On the contrary, he would somehow use this situation to make even more money Yes, that’s it!’

When he finished thinking, an idea popped in Sid’s head pisode ii:=”” pioneering=”” age=”” of=”” the=”” foreigners=””> had started

The changes occurring in New World was not just Nagaran opening to the public So far, only a handful of users had been able to qualify to travel between the borders open to everyone! However, the best way to aran becah a steep mountain path In this situation, it was inevitable that problems would occur Thus, in peacetime it would ie and ies near the border Thewarriors The chaotic scrolls could be sold to them for 100 of the market price The reason was clear In the absence of peace at the border, they would use the scrolls to try and rob thethe border

‘Hu hu hu hu, this is it!’

Sid began to catch the feeling When the scrolls were sold, Sid ie It was easy to sell hundreds of robbery scrolls Of course, the security in the region was at the worst case scenario It was a state where merchants would be i to rob them on the mountain paths His customers were also those merchants It was a rule that a place that sold knives would also sell shi+elds Cairo also had items that could stop various chaotic scrolls

“A standard item to escape from a crisis! The [Warp] scroll You can hire mercenaries confidently with [Sword of Truth], protect yourself fro Protection] or [Equipment Protection] scrolls From the [Elimination] scroll which removes one scroll effect, there is a bulk sale on all items for a safe trade route Please use Sid’s stalls”

Immediately merchants flocked like clouds

“How much for a [Warp] scroll?”

“45 gold If you buy it in a set of 10, I’ll will discount 10 gold”

“Yes? Isn’t that 110 of the price in a store? If I buy it froet a discount of 30……”

“I went through a lot of risk to bring the scrolls fro the way quite a few ti it for 110 of the price

“But, it is 45 gold for one scroll……”

“If you don’t have the cash right now then I also accept various potions But the potions have to be 80 of the listed price Because I can sell it again for a profit As a merchant you should understand?”

One merchant to the side poked another one and whispered

“There’s notIf a thief robs us then the quest will fail and ill lose a lot of credibility ”

“Hyu……I understand 2 [Sword of Truth] and 2 [Warp] scrolls please”

“Yep, here you go! Have a safe trip!”

Sid aimed for this A merchant would understand the mindset of other merchants After the borders were opened, oods But in order to complete the quest within a certain period, they had to cross the border

‘Hu hu hu, I’ve learned this by following after Ark-nim’

If they were going to spend money, once he has hooked them then he had to squeeze asa ht around and sell a missile defense system to the other side Did itas he e in business By selling a lot of knives, the price of the shi+elds would jump up even more Because of hie Sid’s life was tied up in this trade route It wasn’t possible for him to look at other people’s circu the soup made form Ark’s pot

‘I didn’t understand the world at all until now’

So another unsuspecting merchant entered the path of darkness Nowas important in this business Other merchants who smelled money would soon flock to the border with the scrolls A market price slump for the scrolls was inevitable!

‘When it becomes less profitable, I will shake it off and leave It is Ark-nim’s iron-set law’

Ark had suddenly becoht ite it at 100~110 of its price Of course his experience and skill proficiency, as well as his income increased trean to think eventhen it was possible to make even more profit! Sid determined that expensive potions and tool boxes orth investing in so he bought soed for consumables, the a NPC e That was also a part of his calculations

‘After Nagaran was opened, it becauilds are in this area they require various potions and consumables, especially over time It is a war of attrition However, the winner is not determined by how much money they spend in a short amount of time But if they did want to replenish supplies in the field, they would have to go all the way back to Selebrid……I’aran so even if it is a little bit expensive, it would save them time! Before other merchants attract them, I have to detain the customers!’

Sid was increasingly aware of his responsibility as a businessaran, there was no security so if he died then he would lose items

‘Since PK is allowed in Nagaran, this business is dangerousPK is fun for the people that exploit it If I die to such people and lose even one item……’

Soup Sid shuddered as a chill crawled up his spine

‘Even if the profit was a little bit less, it is safer to set up trade at the entrance’

Therefore Sid arrived at the entrance to Nagaran He arrived just as a carriage containing a warrior was leaving to go buy supplies and decided to approach Sid

“Are you a merchant? If you have any recovery potions or repair boxes can I order them in bulk?”

Sid looked the warrior up and down Once he saw the equipment it wasn’t a joke The shi+ne of ether as he kept up a business smile

“Yes, of course Not only recovery potions but I also have many potions that would increase the stats Because you’re ive you an excellent price However, it’s still a little bit higher than the fixed store price……He he he, you understand right?”

Sid spread out catalogues showing the products available The warrior asked with a surprised look

“That’s an a business by yourself?”

“He he he, 90 of it is the capital entrusted by other people”

Sid had a big mouth There was a subtle smile on the mouth of the warrior

“So it is like that It works out just fine Since the large guild coo to Selebrid, so it is lucky that I oods If you don’t mind 110 of the fixed price, I’d like to buy all your potions and repair boxes”

“Yes? Yes? 110 of the fixed store price?”

He calculated the astronomical amount on a calculator

‘Finally……I finally have an opportunity for a colossal deal……!’

Although h e deal then they would earn more faold in one transaction then he couldn’t even iet! Sid’s eyes stared at the warrior on the horse The warrior smiled and said

“However, our situation is that we can’t receive the items at the moment So let’s set a time and date to receive the iteold as well Please deliver the pro”

The warrior opened his nated one section Sid flinched as he looked at the aran

“Is that a problem?”

“Yes? Oh, no But……”

“I knohat you’re worried about But these days the outskirts are empty as most of the users have flocked to the area around the castlesWhile co here I didn’t even see 1 user”

“I understand I’ll deliver it to the appointed place”

Sid eventually accepted the offer Although he was a little anxious, the nue for him to miss out on The warrior nodded with a pleased face

“If you’re able to provide this huge amount of supplies then youthe funds of other people then you must be quite reliable as well It is fortunate that Ifor reliable merchants If it beco terht be more difficult but there would be no risk and we’ll pay for all the trouble”

“I-I thank you”

“I’lad to hear it Then should we create the contract?”

“Yes, of course But what is your name……”

“Alan, I’uild”

The warrior……Alan grinned and replied Sid who didn’t participate in the event quest had never seen Alan

The day after Ark’s coht……in reality it was only 4 hours later The sunlight spilled through the di all liquor, his didn’t enjoy drinking to deathHowever after Roco’s words in theevenoutside for 1 hour, the chilly wind helped dissipate the alcohol Roco’s face contained one expression that they kneell

“Now are you going to go to the Evil Silrion?”

“No, it has been postponed for the moment”

“Yes? We’ve also found the big brother that ere looking for”

“Then it’s official”

JusticeMan tried to say so

“Okay, do you knohat you’re going to do?”

“No Right now……”

“That’s great Then briefly co to show you I wanted to discuss it with you”

“Shohat?”

Ark tilted his head to the side while Jjak-tung interrupted with a smirk

“Hu hu hu, the achieve, eren’t just playing around”

“Achievement?”

“If you look at it then you’ll know It isn’t far so I’ll leave it for the ti You’ll notice the details once you’ve arrived Sha you and come as well!”

JusticeMan suddenly pulled Sha with Ark

“Um, why is it so noisy at dawn? What kind of people……”

Thefrom an alley not far from where Ark’s companions were It looked like there were 3 homeless people wrapped in hoods When Merchant A, B and C were keeping an eye on Ark, they literally fell asleep right there The sleepy Merchant B made an annoyed noise and lifted his head at the noisy sounds of Ark and his companions He had a vacant expression for a short ti up in surprise

“Eh? H-Hyung-ni-nim! Wake up”

Merchant A as snoring through his nose opened his eyes tiredly Merchant A rubbed at his swollen eyes with a frown

“What the? What’s going on?”

“Those guys are ”

“What?”

Merchant A was suddenly wide awake and jumped up

“daht so why are they up this early? Hey, wake up!”

Merchant A kicked Merchant C and commanded him

“Summon the mercenaries that you hired yesterday and tell them to come quickly I’ll shadow theh the ‘Feather of Whispering’ and act quickly!”

Merchant B and C rushed down the alley on short legs Merchant A also quickly packed his luggage and followed Ark

‘As expected, you’re going after the treasure!’

Ark and his coe amount of food fro food was because they were going on a long trip somewhere Once they collected all the necessary clues, of course they would want to start treasure hunting As expected,Ark and his companions i Merchant A quickly whispered using the ‘Feather of Whispering’

-Those guys have left Selebrid How long until the athered?

What? They’re not ready yet? Those children, standby until I give ood Once the athered then come to this location

Like a spy movie, Merchant A secretly kept up secure co Ark After Ark’s party left Selebrid, they ascended up the mountain path But after a short tireenery

‘Huck huck huck I should’ve exercised a little bit more……’

Merchant A had poor stamina He was out of breath in less than 1 hour Furthermore, as there was no path the merchant had to push aside thick bushes He tripped over tree roots on the unfamiliar path and was out of breath in less than 1 hour There was also no path for hih the forest He tripped over roots on the unfaot stuck on tree branches

‘This is that Dark Wolf’s fault! In the future, I’ll certainly seize the map and cause him despair!’

Merchant A was burning with revenge……Honestly, if it wasn’t for that than he wouldn’t have been able to keep up After following a small stream for a while, the lush forest eventually ca with the party as they arrived

‘Ohhhh, this is……a golden opportunity!’

Merchant A’s eyes were sparkling Hidden inside the woods deep in the mountains What else but a thief’s hideout?

‘There’s no doubt I’ve seen those flags planted above the wild plants at the Merchant’s Guild The group of thieves that everyone is super careful about around Selebrid! If so……?’

He could only think of one thing, they were trying to suppress the group of thieves in order to go somewhere

‘The heavens are helping!’

He didn’t knoas going on inside It was probably a dreadful battle with a lot of blood spilt! It was the ideal chance to get rid of Ark Now the odds of victory was 100! Just then, Merchant B and C arrived with the 20 mercenaries

“Huck huck huck, Hyung-niuys?”

“Hu hu hu,that the heavens would help those who help the to suppress the thieves here in the mountains”

Merchant A smiled coldly and clenched his fist firmly

“If we storm in then the situation will end simply We have to hurry before Dark Wolf and Blue Sword are killed by the thieves and drop the clues Quickly use the scrolls before that happens!”

“I understand Everyone heard? Start immediately!”

“Rush!+”

Merchant A, B and C boldly led thestrange Thein the hter was even occasionally heard Merchant B felt soe and tried to stopHowever, it didn’t matter because Merchant A had already opened the door and shouted

“Blue Sword, Dark Wolf! You guys……eh?”

Merchant A trailed off with a bemused look Hundreds of eyes had immediately turned to hiaged in a bloody fight However, there was nothing but Ark and the thieves staring at him

“Eh, why……why? Why aren’t you fighting?”

“What the? Who are those guys?”

“Blue sword? Dark Wolf?”

The thieves scowled at the merchants and mercenaries with unpleasant eyes Yes, it was the achieve about the thieves gathered here JusticeMan randoo, he had found the older Hyung that he had been looking for The older Hyung was a boss bandit nanuni with a level of 150 Usually they would never dare fighting against him, but JusticeMan had other forces The thieves around Selebrid that he had rehabilitated! JusticeMan directed the bloody battle, wangnuni eventually surrendered and was rehabilitated Thus, the nu JusticeMan was 300 people

Merchant A, B, and C realized that there was so

“H,Hyung-nim?”

“Hiccup!”

Merchant A started sweating Although the merchants were frozen, when Merchant C hiccupped he accidently tore the scrolls He had wanted to use [Robbery] on Ark However, he didn’t specify the target so a thief was hit by nuni wangnuni looked at Merchant C with no expression and laughed

“What the? Are you trying to squeeze me?”

“No, it’s not……”

Merchant A grasped the situation too late and tried to withdrahen JusticeMan smiled and said

“Hey guys, what is it that I always stress?”

“I’ll serve food and aid in one hand I’ll do a good thing once a day And the villain that doesn’t repent would be soaked!”

The 200 thieves replied coldly

“Okay, lock the door”

“Yep!”

The thieves suddenly walked to the door Although the merchants and mercenaries tried to retreat, their path was blocked The situation alarmed the mercenaries who eventually pulled out their swords

“damn! It’s not possible! We’re stuck!”

“It is Hyung-nim’s enemy! Get rid of all the litter!”

The thieves had been completely brainwashed by the torture of the chowderAnd when so, it was the thieves’ unwritten law that they would pay with their bodies The thieves drew their swords and rushed in unison

“Huck, Hyung-nim Why on earth is it so different?”

“How should I know? We have no choice but to endure somehow!”

“damn it, they will die It should be around ten enemies for each person?”

The ret it And soon a fierce battle took place……if it could even be called a battle The assassins were 30 levels higher than the thieves However, the nuainst 300 It couldn’t possibly be called a fight Moreover, there was also Ark’s nursing skills as well as Roco’s music As there were many people, the skills became h nursing and music yelled and crushed the hired warriors
