Chapter 18: The Unscrupulous Teacher and his Student

「Old man Prepare my money…The job is not done yet 」

When I returned from the Fort, the old o to the Fort in the first place Everything happened without hts Order and returned to the Burdnick territory

Ah, what a nasty wo woman But I couldn't stand this situation Yeah, I won't accept it I will take her out of the Burdnick territory

I knew that Caria Burdnick was forced to go I truly hated that wo and stubborn person to being with But she was forced to go to the Burdnick territory without cons of having a normal conscience Ah, yes She droveit to you If you accoiven you, then I would have enough is 」

He sarcastically said that as if he wasn't going to give me the money

Old man Richard raised his cheek and showed his teeth He started to laugh as he sat down on a nearby table It was as if he wanted to have so with this old man

Unfortunately, I had to rely on oldthis tiCaria Burdnick out of her territory If I'll go alone, it will be a tough quest to succeed If I was a hero or an accoo smoother A hero was a remarkable person with power, physically and politically If I were a hero, going alone wouldn't be a problem

But unluckily, I wasn't a hero or an accomplished adventurer I was not the kind of person ould be able to handle everything by himself That would be suicide So, I had to use people pawns for the greater purpose

「…The northwestern region has been subjected to robbery and chaos a its people I want to track the like that But I want to be useful until the soldiers arrive on that region 」

For a htly His eyes were mixed with excite request But I'm not sure Well, I don't dislike the idea of it 」

The oldhis beard as he decided if it was a foolish idea or a clever idea He was ihts

「However, it sounds easy but to put it on practice it's another story Listen, Lugis You won't be able to accoht be erous people You want to do it Okay, I get it But that doesn't mean that it will be easy to achieve 」

Ah, that was it I thought he would hesitate for a moment Well, it was that kind of job that adventurers wouldn't do in the first place This was no longer a regular request, but a quest that puts lives at stake for a futile cause I knew it perfectly well, oldhis waist behind his back His gaze told me that he was serious about what he mentioned earlier He was determined If I spoke the incorrect words, I mean, the words that he didn't want to hear, I was sure my neck would ”fly” elsewhere

I felt thebecause of this tension I would be done for if I spoke orclosely at ed

「Of course That's why I came here to discuss with you, old ht that, occasionally, one should try doing one or two good deeds, don't you agree? 」

He opened hisaround

「Yeah right Too bad but I don't do good deeds You know that perfectly well, don't you? 」

I was intimidated by old man Richard's offensive stance towards me Why would he care so h risk factor But he was a drunkard who never cared for other people, much less me Maybe it orth for him to keep me alive? This man was a very villainous person with ulterior motives Then, I opened my hardened throat

「Hey, old man I know that you sent that wouise of a fake letter So, if you help me with this, then God won't have a reason to punish you, right?」

His old eyes tre eyes That was an on was replaced with a black blade

ed to counterattack old man Richard's black blade strike with h my shoulder I was lucky Yes, I was extre as ever How could he had that brute force and agility after getting that old? I ed to prevent his attack But maybe I won't have luck next time I couldn't read his movements, as I only could hear his heavy breaths

Old man Richard's sword attacks were unreadable unlike Caria Burdnick's attacks And I didn't reainst him I just recalled that he seriously parried my sword away countless of times until I improved my stance

His black blade blended into the darkness It had an unmistakable murderous intent I only had one knife left I will need to focus on my swordsmanshi+p with just this item I remember really well the basics of swordsht orous man like hih, the old lass of alcohol
