chapter 4
00004 #1 – my minions are insanely capable
#1 – My subordinates are insanely capable (4)
[The pickpocket boy’s body and mind were ruled by fear!]
[The pickpocket boy promises to pay the ransom!]
[Expanded ability ‘Charisma’ has been unlocked for your activity in oppressing others by dealing with subordinates!]
I don’t need this kind of charisma.
If you give it you will get it, but you are very reluctant.
“After all, the boss is great. To sniff the money from an insignificant young man and rob him of all his hard-earned fortune at once. Thanks to this, the initial funds exceeded 200 gold.”
Is this a compliment or an insult?
I don’t even want to look at the expression on my face because I’m afraid of making eye contact.
First, let’s feed money to increase loyalty.
“Half is yours.”
“thank you.”
Do the specs once. Of course, I thought I’d give it because it was mine, so don’t answer with the same feeling.
Even from this guy’s point of view, the cruel commands and actions he misunderstood, and the benevolent 5-to-5 income distribution seemed like a daily thing because it was close to ‘of course my boss should be like this’.
No matter how much I took it for granted, my loyalty didn’t go up by one.
‘Should I be liked by even chatting?’
not. If the boss in the back alley talks a lot, it looks a little cheap and cheap. If you do that, you will be treated like a neighborhood book or an extra captain at the beginning of the play.
You shouldn’t do that in front of Caesar, who seems to want to make me the boss of some national gang.
As we walked silently with our mouths shut, a woman guided us to our destination.
“Wow, this is the guild building.”
I couldn’t hide my embarrassment.
“this?”
It’s just frustrating.
In the Labyrinth City, the Adventurer’s Guild was a high-rise building placed in the center of the downtown area.
It’s not because they don’t have a budget, nor can they build the Adventurer’s Guild building in Bram, the labyrinth city of Alfonso Kingdom, located in the affluent plain.
‘I don’t know if it’s a place where the nobles press down on the guild.’
At the beginning of the game, this guide said that Bram, the labyrinth city, had a fight between the adventurer’s guild and the nobles.
Because the two forces are fiercely in balance without being extremely focused on either side, they are doing such a troublesome thing.
Of course, that’s not the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Car, weren’t you looking for a crime guild…?”
Then yes.
Lee Nyeon voluntarily drank kimchi soup from a bowl.
Isn’t the word kimchi soup used in this case?
Well, then you probably didn’t even eat dongchimi.
such an idiot bastard.
‘Still, if you think about it calmly, it seems like an unfair anger.’
When you think about it, it’s amazing. The city has just opened the ‘Gate’ today and accepted a large number of newcomers who will challenge the labyrinth for the first time in a long time.
If even a backstreet pickpocket knows about that information, it means that the general public knows it enough.
In such a situation, a person I met along the way on the street told me to guide you to the guild, but if you looked like a criminal rather than an adventurer, how would you guide me to the crime guild?
“Caesar.”
“indeed. Boss is thorough. I will complete the purpose and eliminate the woman who has served her purpose.”
“…that’s not it.”
No matter how scary this bastard is, he can’t make a normal woman do such a crazy thing.
Pickpocketing is a crime committed, so even the public authorities will not move, but if you touch a civilian, the authorities will pursue it.
A lot of people saw us on the street, and if you kill a woman at first, even a five-year-old kid will know who the culprit is.
When he calmly explained this point, Caesar was also convinced.
He lashed out at the woman fiercely.
“Woman. It would be better not to be seen again.”
“Yes Yes…”
I just ran into you on the way, so why do I have to go through something like this? Such anguish flowed down the woman’s tears.
I’m really sorry.
The second most pitiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life. The first is a dark gamer I met while playing a game, but I don’t see anything right now. It may be difficult to meet you in this wide world.
Bump!
Upon entering the guild, a dim lamp illuminated the inside of the dimly lit Pub.
On an old table, men with a sullen, gloomy, or bloody look are playing dice and holding beer glasses.
And now, these cubs glanced at who had entered the pub, met Caesar’s bloody eyes, and lowered their heads to the table in dismay.
“Come on. What would you like to order?”
The clerk at the tavern asked so.
Like a crime guild, he hides his identity and something like that.
I bluntly stated my purpose.
“I came to join the guild.”
“What do you mean..”
“If you don’t know, this guy is going to destroy this tavern.”
The clerk glanced at Caesar, who was not an ordinary bet, and sighed deeply.
“There will be a wind of blood blowing in the back alley for a while. First of all, the guild membership fee is 5 gold. There is no subscription fee for those of you who have just arrived in the city, so you can get some money anywhere…”
Just right. Just right. Just right.
Caesar’s eyes widened, and he took gold one by one from his pocket and placed it on the table.
When exactly ten pieces of gold were placed side by side, the clerk built a statue of death.
“…he came. A neckplate to prove your identity. When you say your name, you engraved it and do light identification.”
“You mean 5 gold for that? Are you extorting the boss and me now?”
“It’s not a rip-off. The cost required to purchase the guild’s name value. Should I talk to someone with your eyes the importance of notoriety in the back alleys?”
Caesar closed his mouth in disapproval.
“boss. What would you like to do?”
How are you doing? what do you really want
Do you want me to order you to strike this cheeky bastard on the neck and take over the guild?
“Outside, they have their own rules. Respect.”
“All right.”
Caesar does not disobey orders once issued.
One thing I like about it.
The problem is that I don’t like most of the other elements.
“Huh, that’s weird. How could such a bloody bastard follow the words of a seemingly insignificant human?”
“Did you catch any weaknesses? There may be something in the sense of being alive even after taking on the weakness of such a vicious man.”
“Then why are you wearing clothes like that? Are you pretending to be similar to the newcomers outside?”
That’s it. If you don’t have anything to say about it later, I’ll use the reason you said as an excuse, I thought the same thing.
Then Caesar staggered towards the man who had spoken the last word.
For a moment, I must have thought seriously about making eye contact with that guy. Without letting anything dry, he smashed the guy’s porridge with his fist.
Whoa!
Whoops!
“Don’t play around with your snout. Disrespectful behavior towards the boss deserves to be struck on the neck, but in respect of the guild, for now, I will only break my teeth.”
The man covered his mouth with both hands and bled.
Tears welled up, but I didn’t even think of taking out my weapon.
You may have intuited the fact that you will die if you open up.
“boss. Are you satisfied with this?”
“Well.”
nodded.
Thinking that if I didn’t nod, I might really kill that bastard, I tried to nod frantically.
After a moment’s hesitation, he agreed, and the man who was beaten slumped down to the floor as if he had been resurrected from death.
“… … .”
The atmosphere is cheap.
The newcomer who came in at once drank and ate the corn from the mouth of the man they were talking to, so it was worth it.
“Do you have any business left?”
“It’s a guild that has come a long way. You have to work and get paid.”
The clerk tapped a long wooden table in the bar with a frown on his face.
shudder.
The fabric was pushed away with a light mechanical sound, and several tattered fabrics appeared.
[Crime Guild’s request list has been unlocked.]
I was curious in my heart. There was a crime guild in the labyrinth city, but at that time, of course, I joined the adventurers guild. I don’t know the details of this back alley.
I started looking at the list of requests with interest, and I quickly lost interest.
The content was a little boring for a crime guild.
[Field Mouse Hunting (Repeat)] [Difficulty: Newbie]
[Summary: A large number of field mice increased in the garbage area where the vagrants live. Hunt the rats so that the city officials don’t come in as an excuse to get rid of them.]
[Clear condition: 100 rat tails]
[Reward: 30 Cooper, Guild Contribution 1]
[Regular Payment] [Difficulty: Newbie]
[Summary: Bill, a junk dealer in the garbage area, has not paid his periodic dues. Use this opportunity as an excuse to get a lot of ‘interest’ from him.]
[Clear condition: 1 silver principal and 2 silver interest are collected]
[Reward: Interest in excess of 2 silver, Guild Contribution 1-10]
[Round (Repeat)] [Difficulty: Newbie]
[Summary: The Crime Guild is the ruler of the back alley. It’s also the guild’s job to control the vigilantes so that the vigilantes don’t know and commit felony crimes.]
[Clear condition: Obtain 3 or more patrol stamps from guild members who are hiding in the patrol route.]
[Reward: 10 Cooper, Guild Contribution 3]
First off, the rewards are cheap.
Besides, the entry time is unpredictably long.
Is it a regular payment that you prefer?
‘Performance pay is attractive in its own way.’
Even if you forcefully ask for a higher-level quest, you will need trust from the crime guild’s point of view.
If you come all the way here and don’t take one quest, Caesar won’t be able to understand it, so you should get one, even for condescension.
“Regular payment. Where is the junk dealer Bill?”
“I’ll give you a guide. Hans.”
“I don’t like it with my bare mouth. give me anything.”
The clerk took out the ledger and showed the details of the trauma.
1 silver 12 cooper.
Yongke also received trauma like this.
“Debt from the last fight. Aren’t you going to say you forgot?”
“Damn… that bastard. You have a knack for smashing tables with your body on the subject of scum.”
“It’s your mistake that you couldn’t stand it and fell for provocation. Since I hit the top, the compensation is unconditionally 5 to 5.”
I think I know roughly how things turned out. At the point of quietly accepting the guild’s rules and shouldering the trauma, this man will become a reliable guide.
After leaving the guild, Hans asked us carefully.
“Excuse me, but what kind of relationship are you two?”
I asked Caesar with a wink.
Hey Caesar. what kind of relationship do we have
Caesar answered Hans, rolling his eyes.
“Shut up and go ahead.”
“Yes… … .”
Caesar had excellent intimidation qualities.
It was scary at first, but now I’m used to it.
In a sense, that fact is the scariest thing.
“You chose a boss-down quest. You’re trying to make a profit by selling all the property of a junkie named Bill.”
It seems that he still has a long way to go to adapt to this bastard.
It seems to be a momentum to sell the junk dealer itself, not to the level of ripping off interest.
In this case, silence and a plausible response are golden. When one of his mouths was raised obliquely, Caesar was satisfied with an unconventional smile again.
“It’s all here.”
The junk yard seemed to be a store that collects garbage from the city, sorts it, reprocesses it plausibly and sells it.
Due to the development of technology and magic, there are quite a few things that can be separated and disassembled and recycled.
“Hey, who else is this? Looking at the atmosphere, it doesn’t look like you’ve come to sell junk. Are you from the guild?”
The junkyard owner, Bill, smiled meanly and held out his oil-stained hand.
“Hey shit, don’t put your hands away! Every time this gentleman comes, he does this with dirty hands!”
Hans flinched and spit out swear words and stepped back, but I realized the opponent’s craft and smiled.
“Caesar. Accept the handshake.”
As if Caesar understood what I meant, he held hands coolly.
Bill groaned and rubbed his hands, but Caesar didn’t care.
The reason he held his hand was to crush Bill’s hand.
Wow!
“Ahhh!”
“I think socializing in your own way is a great way to socialize. I respect the will of the boss and follow the locals here.”
“Aaah!”
“You look so happy that my hands are covered with oil and then blood. As a welcome to your warm welcome, I will rejoice in this friendship with a little more sincerity.”
Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak!
Quick!
There was the sound of bones shattering as there was no blood.
No, it was done by age.
Where the f*ck is this handshake It’s a hand-in-hand way to kill people.
dump.
The junk dealer Bill couldn’t stand the pain and collapsed.
Seeing the pale, weary complexion and motionless back…
[Caesar killed the junk dealer Bill.]
killed it crazy.
A person died with a handshake.
I wonder if it can be called a handshake in the first place.
[Caesar’s infamy increases by 3.]
[Wilhelm Meyer’s infamy increases by 5.]
As an added bonus, Hans is looking at us with eyes looking at the cub who killed the man with a handshake and the cub who ordered him to be killed with a handshake.
Hey, no!
misunderstood I didn’t know if this baby had a crazy potential that killed people with handshake! Anyway, it’s not my fault!
“Hans.”
“I didn’t see anything! I didn’t hear anything!”
“… … .”
Hearing Caesar’s words, ‘You are a wonderful guy,’ through his ears, he despaired in his heart. How the hell does my labyrinth game play get twisted?
