chapter 26
Episode 26.
At my words, the gangsters in a rage rushed at me.
Each had a dagger and an iron club in his hand.
“Where is this from? Just search!”
With a few bumps, I passed between the gangsters.
After that, the gangsters noticed a change in themselves.
“Uh… my head…?”
I trimmed the gangsters’ hair. There is even a service that engraves a number on it.
“Um, so who can tell me who is behind the scenes?”
Gangster No. 1 raised his hand confidently.
“I, I know. So, please save me.”
Something was wrong with the gangster number 1. I had no intention of killing in the first place. I thought I would let go of everything if I just let you know.
At the end of number 1, it became the appearance that I had to use my hands for numbers 2-4.
“Uh… yes. Actually, I was going to let you go if you let me know, but because of you, I need to take care of the rest of the kids.”
The remaining gangsters looked at the first gangster as if they were going to kill him. As I slowly walked towards the thugs, they started to panic.
“Please, save me. We have an old mother in our house.”
“Hey, you’re an orphan.”
“Don’t shut up!”
The gangsters were each filming a new wave. Seeing that, I couldn’t help but feel weak.
“Okay, I’ll only hit you on the top of the head.”
I put the exorcism sword back into the scabbard. Then, he swung it with his sword. one per person. hit four guns.
Wait, four?
“Mistress, I hit you once. Why are you there?”
Four thugs were lying on the floor, biting into bubbles.
I shook the gangster number 1 and woke him up.
“Mistress, why do you keep waking me up…?”
“hey?”
Scoundrel No. 1 immediately fell down on me and apologized.
“sorry!”
I laughed because the number 1 written on the top of my head stood out.
You can’t get angry at someone who laughs.
“So, where is the person behind the deal? Can you make his ID too?”
“There is nothing he cannot do. Of course, they also provide identification. however···.”
Scoundrel number 1 looking at me with frightened eyes.
“Are you a wanted criminal?”
This time, I adjusted my strength and hit the top of the head of the gangster number 1. Thanks to that, gangster number 1 could end in pain.
“What a wanted criminal. Even if it looks like this, he is the one who caught the wanted criminal.”
“yes. Excuse me.”
“So where are you?”
“Ah, you can go to the Sky Road Inn.”
As I was walking, I suddenly noticed something strange. The 1st knave is not moving.
“Hey, why aren’t you coming?”
“yes?”
“I know where the sky road inn is and go find it. you have to take the lead I don’t even know if I lied.”
“Ah, yes.”
Scoundrel No. 1 stooped forward. I followed the gangster number 1.
And the place they arrived at was a shabby-looking inn. An appearance that could be mistaken for an abandoned house.
I looked suspiciously at gangster number one.
“Is this right?”
“Yes, isn’t it written there? The inn on the sky road.”
clearly written. In addition, only the signboard was newly painted, and the signboard was noticeably bright.
“Can I just go in?”
“Ah, then you will be easily discovered.”
“okay? But why do you know?”
“There are ways. You just walk in and sit anywhere.”
“Can I just sit down?”
Scoundrel number 1 gave me a strange laugh.
The look hit me on the crown once again. Because it seemed like they were laughing at me.
“Ugh.”
“Why are you laughing so badly? Anyway, after sitting down?”
“Wherever you are, knock five times. Then the waitress will bring you a stone.”
It is absurd that it is a stone. It was so out of the blue that I was suspicious.
“And I looked at the stone and clapped three times and said, ‘What a wonderful collectible. Let me meet the owner of this stone.’”
He raised his hand again and prepared to hit the top of his head. At first glance, it seemed like a lie.
“Do you think I will be fooled by this lie?”
Scoundrel No. 1 hurriedly covered the top of his head and cried.
“Really. Come in and try it out. Oh, let’s just go in with me and do it.”
“Yeah, you tell me everything instead.”
“Yes. That will be fine.”
I entered the interior of the Sky Road Inn.
Contrary to the shabby appearance, it was neat.
However, the strange thing was that there were no customers except us, and there were no employees.
‘Is this really the right place?’
I sat down with the gangster number 1. Scoundrel No. 1 sat down and immediately knocked on the table five times.
Then, an unknown employee came up to us.
As the gangster number 1 said, the employee had a stone in his hand.
The waiter put a stone on the table. And the gangster number 1 clapped three times and said.
“A very nice collection. Let me meet the owner of this stone.”
Then, the waiter waved his hand at us. It seemed to follow me.
“It was real, thank you. You may go now.”
“yes!”
The place where the waitress followed was the kitchen. The waiter went to the corner of the kitchen and knocked on the wall three times.
“I am a guest.”
“…”
The wall cracked and a passage opened.
The waitress stood in the aisle and said to me,
“I am here. You can go all the way this way.”
“all right.”
I entered the aisle as the waiter said. I thought it would be dark, but thanks to the torch hanging next to it, it was bright.
At the end of the passage was a wooden door. I knocked on the door.
“You may come in.”
After permission was given, the door was opened.
Inside the door was a man covered in a robe.
“What are you here for?”
“I want to make a new ID card.”
“That’s it, it’s easy. Just give me 10 gold.”
I took out 10 gold from my purse and handed it over.
A man covered in a robe took out a piece of paper and started writing.
“How old are you?”
“Fifteen.”
Seeing that he flinched, he seemed surprised that I was fifteen.
That’s right, he’d grown a lot in a few months, so he wasn’t a 15-year-old.
“What would you like your name to be?”
name.
If you use a name that retains the original form of Suhar, you may find out that you are me.
I came up with a whole new name.
“Hans.”
A common, common name.
Among the commoners, I heard that one out of ten was named Hans.
That’s why it’s a common name among commoners.
“Are you okay with that name?”
“Yes, please use Hans.”
It’s a rather good name for me.
“Don’t you need a family name or something?”
“The family name…?”
“I am writing a fallen noble family. Well, it will be convenient if you think of borrowing. If you have your own family, you can use your own.”
borrow a family name I think it will be better than I thought. Of course, I had no intention of borrowing the name of the Caldert family.
Being a commoner meant there was a great risk of being tyrannized by nobles.
But if it’s a fallen noble, that’s fine. Even if they fall, the aristocratic lineage will not disappear.
“Do you have any good families?”
“You can choose the family you want from this book. I will also tell you the story of how the family fell apart.”
While looking through the book, a familiar family name caught my eye.
[Kirton Family]
“uh···? Kirton?”
“Oh, you cannot use that.”
Ea Kirton. Surely it wasn’t a family on the periphery of the Mycenae Empire?
“Why can’t I use this?”
“I do not know. First of all, as far as I know, they are an aristocratic family from an empire that has recently gone extinct. But they say that the empire doesn’t allow you to use this family name.”
“okay···.”
Could Ea be the survivor of the fallen Kirton family?
“By any chance, are there any survivors in this Kirton family?”
“No, as far as I know there are no survivors left, they are all dead.”
What was the reason Ea lied about the family name? There was no way I would know that.
There was something more important than that.
“I like this.”
Hans Like. The Rike family caught my eye.
“Ah, the Rike family.”
The family of Reik was said to have existed in the empire a hundred years ago.
“The Rike family is a case of decline over time and decline. Still, it was a family that was famous for its swords in the old days.”
good night. It was a family that used to use a sword.
I said I would do it with the Rike family. Then the man who covered his whole body with a robe left me and went somewhere.
and after a while
“You waited a long time. Identification has been created.”
It was a lot faster than I thought. I checked the finished ID.
[Hans Ryke. fifteen.]
It was stamped properly. In addition, there is a certificate next to the ID.
“When ID alone does not work, you just need to show the certificate.”
“okay.”
“however···.”
A person who covered his entire body with a robe spoke softly.
“Aren’t you interested in the black market?”
“The black market…”
“It is a place that sells things that are not easily available. It’s an auction format, so all you need is a lot of money.”
I thought about what I needed. There is no conclusion.
There was no need to go to the black market. Of course, I wanted to take a look, but there was something more urgent than that.
“I am not particularly interested in the black market. There is one more thing I want to ask you.”
“Just know that the amount varies depending on the information you want.”
“yes. Then, where is the cheap and good inn in the free city you’ve been asking for? It would be nice if the food was good too.”
The man of the robe who was speechless, perhaps embarrassed by what could be called a trivial question.
“Where do you like?”
“Pyant Inn is good. There is no need to pay a separate information fee for this amount.”
“Oh, thank you. I’ll come back later if I have another business.”
Following the guidance of Rob, I came out to the exit. The exit was the back door of the Sky Road Inn.
“Oh right. I forgot to ask where the Pyant Inn is.”
I thought about going back in, but it wouldn’t matter if I asked the people on the street about this.
Now, go to the mercenary guild and create a new mercenary card.
“And for a while, I couldn’t make any money. I should save it.”
You need to save as much money as possible. At least you have to become a silver mercenary to make money.
I first headed to the street to ask for directions. And I was able to find a person I knew.
“Hey, number one!”
It was easy to notice because it was written on the head as number 1.
The first gangster frowned and looked back. Realizing that it was me who had called him, the gangster came cringing toward me.
“hehehe, have you finished your business?”
“yes. Oh, but what’s your name?”
“It’s called Number One.”
“Yes, Numberwan. Please guide me to the Fient Inn.”
It was Number Wan who suddenly had a bad expression.
Do I want to pamper you?
I handed 1 gold to Numberwan. Then, Number Wan’s expression brightened.
“Since I am also a native here, I will guide you to places you do not know. ruler! Please follow me.”
“In the future, don’t turn your back on visitors, how about getting a tip while guiding like this?”
“Oh, that’s a really good idea.”
I thought it would be better to do this than to be a jerk.
“It’s just, gathering friends and giving them a guide to the Free City we’ve been begging for.”
“I will seriously consider that. Anyway, what should I call it?”
“Hans Reike.”
Hans Like. From now on, in the free city I was begging for, it’s my name.
