Chapter 709 – 709. Yggdrasil (6)
“I’ve been looking for you since yesterday, and I finally found you!”
“…”
A hideous appearance covered with green skin, about 1 meter tall.
Me and Min Ha-yeon and Park Jin-hee stared at the goblin in awe at the gruff voice.
And Min Hayeon and I came to our senses in an instant, took out bows from our inventory and aimed them at the goblins.
“What! Why are there monsters here!”
Battle when monsters appear.
It was an act that I was very accustomed to when I came to Yggdrasil.
When Min Ha-yeon and I aimed arrows at the goblin, the goblin giggled and waved her hand.
“As expected of yesterday’s protagonists, the response is great.”
It seemed that our actions did not feel threatening at all.
No, should I rather be relaxed?
And more than anything else, it wasn’t just the appearance of the goblins.
“… What?”
The people around them also looked at the goblins indifferently.
And among them, there was only one who opened his mouth.
“Retract the bow aimed at Ludwig-nim.”
“…”
It was a man in a black suit standing next to the goblin.
A handsome looking man.
He stood in front of the goblins and spoke to us again with a calm expression.
“If you continue to threaten me like this, to the city dungeon…”
The moment a man in a suit threatens to become us…
“Get out of the way! I’m talking!”
The goblin started yelling at him and kicking him in the calf.
A scene that could make it look like a monster attacking a person.
But…
“Sorry.”
The man in the suit twisted his body to the side and pulled it out as usual.
Me, Min Ha-yeon, and Park Jin-hee stared blankly at these two beings.
“What kind of situation is this…”
As I muttered that, the goblin who caught my voice giggled and opened its mouth cheerfully.
“I need to clear up the misunderstanding. I am not the monster that roams the fields or dungeons you think.”
“Ah…”
In fact, it was safe to say that the explanation was over at this point.
If the goblin’s words weren’t true, the moment he entered the city, his whole body would be so full of beehive that he couldn’t even leave his booty behind.
I lowered my bow and spoke cautiously to Min Ha-yeon.
“Ha Yeon-ah, I think you can get off for now.”
“… Yes.”
Min Ha-yeon followed my words and carefully lowered her bow.
However, she only lowered her bow, and the arrows were hung on the bowstring.
Seeing my appearance, the goblin smiled brightly with a satisfied expression.
Hee hee! As expected of a skilled person, you are quick to grasp the situation!”
Rather than cheering… It was bizarre.
Even the dialogue was similar to that of the villain who caught his weakness.
After entering the lull, the goblin looked around and opened his mouth.
“It’s a mess here, so would you like to talk in my office?”
“Office… ?”
Seeing that he also brought a secretary-like person with him, it was clear that he was not an ordinary person of wealth.
Even the people walking around already know the goblin’s identity, so it seems like a great celebrity…
I opened my mouth, being polite to the other person.
“Where is your office?”
“Aha… My office…”
The goblin squealed, poking her long green index finger up.
“Here is the Colosseum… This is the president’s office.”
..
..
Yggdrasil this time was full of surprises as soon as it arrived.
Min Ha-yeon in a mess, midsummer left in the window, a goblin that appeared in the city center, and that goblin…
“You… The president of the Colosseum?”
“Chehehe! That’s right.”
He was the owner of the Colosseum.
He wasn’t the kind of guy who was just managing and bluffing.
“I am Ludwig, the third son of Wedlock, the owner of this city, and I am in charge of managing the Colosseum.”
He was the owner of the real Colosseum after receiving authority from the city’s owner, a man named Wedlock.
At first, the circumstances before and after were understood.
I was immediately polite and apologized politely.
“A while ago, I was surprised and almost attacked. Sorry.”
“Chehehe! I don’t care at all. It’s just a treat when the ritual summoners come!”
It seems like I’ve been through the same situation quite a few times before.
Who would think that a goblin-looking guy is a resident of Yggdrasil…
I cleared up the misunderstanding and apologized.
It was time to ask about the most important business.
“What did you find me for?”
I was going to run out of the room as soon as it came out saying I just wanted to meet a celebrity.
If you commit such rudeness, you’ll be out of sight of the city’s owner, but if you’re a guy who’s just wanting to meet a celebrity, that’s pretty obvious.
But unexpectedly, the reason Ludwig found me was also important to me.
“Didn’t you just leave after winning the tournament yesterday!? Without taking over the western dungeon deed!”
“Ah…”
I just thought that if I won, the authority would pass on its own.
That’s why I quickly left the arena…
Are you really trying to invalidate the game that day?
At the moment when I was so worried, Ludwig held out a card to me with a sloppy green hand as if to blow away my worries at once.
“Here is the western dungeon management certificate. Please use it well for a week.”
=====
[Letitia West Dungeon Management Certificate]
Management certificate proving that you are the manager of the dungeon west of Letitia.
Only those who have this Certificate of Management can enter the dungeon west of Letitia.
Items cannot be transferred to others, but management authority can be granted.
It automatically expires after one week.
=====
As soon as I received the item, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘Five… Are you handing it over coolly?’
I definitely had a history of leaving without properly finishing the game the day before.
It was an act that would be very unpleasant to anyone who manages the Colosseum.
However, Ludwig, contrary to my thoughts, actually handed over the reward with a genuine smile.
“If you don’t visit today, I was going to find it myself. I’m glad you took the trouble out.”
“Haha… Thanks.”
I put the certificate of management into my inventory.
It seemed that the business was over.
I got up and tried to go find Min Ha-yeon waiting outside, but…
“Kihihi… You are in a hurry. Could you please give me some more time?”
“?”
Regardless of Ludwig’s appearance, I had a crush on him, so I accepted and sat down again.
“What happened?”
Ludwig went straight to the point with a satisfied (weird) smile on my appearance.
“Do you have talent to put into dungeon management?”
“… Are you talented?”
There are party members.
However, the talent Ludwig was talking about was not the kind of colleague I thought.
“Are you planning on managing all of the western dungeons by yourself?”
“Ah…”
I haven’t been to the western dungeons, so I don’t know exactly how many are distributed.
However, considering that it was similar to the east, I could roughly estimate about three.
There were three dungeons concentrated in the east as well.
Have party members manage the three dungeons while receiving an admission fee?
“Nope. There is not.”
There’s no way I could have my party members do that.
Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom are of course excluded, and even the trio cannot be made to do such a thing.
Ludwig opened her mouth with a smile as if he rather liked my answer.
“Then, do you have any intention of entrusting the management of the dungeon to us?”
“… A mandate?”
Previously, it was a feather-like conversation of goodwill, but now it is a conversation that stigmatizes reality.
I decided to listen first.
As I listened quietly, Ludwig began to tell the story of his craft.
“We always offer the same offer to the person who received the certificate of management.”
Managing the dungeon is possible alone.
However, he became the ruler of the Colosseum at best, but is he busy getting admission to the dungeon by himself?
The efficiency is messed up, and the appearance is also lost.
However, if this goblin is entrusted with management…
“We will calculate a reasonable admission fee, achieve the highest efficiency, disclose the proceeds transparently, and make it easy to receive the proceeds generated that day through people.”
Once the trust is gone.
He is the son of the city owner.
It is also the manager who directly runs the Colosseum.
In addition, thanks to the trust shown earlier, I did not have any doubts.
And the biggest reason I believe in him is…
=====
Ludwig
[Trust Caution], [Distraction], [Performanceist]…
=====
It was because the temperament was visible.
He was a guy who thoroughly valued trust when it came to dealing.
The problem was then.
“First of all, thanks for the offer. But…”
You can’t just give something like that for free.
Ludwig immediately noticed me and replied with a squeak.
“The conditions we offer in return are simple. Thirty percent.”
It was about asking for 30% of the profits.
“Assuming good management, the daily profit is about 5 million points.”
In other words, it meant that they would eat about 1.5 million points.
After hearing that, I…
‘… I don’t earn as much as I thought.’
I couldn’t help but run out of energy.
‘Even if you earn well, it’s the level of earning in midsummer through prostitution…’
Even Midsummer earned 5 million points after taking off the commission.
Kang Han-na shed a blank laugh when I saw that I was drooping like that.
[Twenty million, ten million come and go at once, so five million looks ridiculous.]
As Kang Han-na said, a situation in Midsummer earning 25 million points per day.
A strange phenomenon in which 5 million points seem like a pittance.
But when I changed my mind, I started seeing things differently.
‘It’s not bad to have a fixed income aside from skipping meals for Midsummer.’
I thought so and recognized the importance of 5 million points.
After I was so silent, Ludwig opened his mouth differently than before.
“Hmm… The 30 percent commission we receive includes all labor costs and management details. Above all, I pride myself on being transparent.”
Perhaps Ludwig thought I was worried because of the 30% fee.
I nodded and answered.
“Sensible. Please.”
“Chehehe! For reference, the contract period is one week…”
Upon my acceptance, Ludwig happily started reciting the contract.
The story was that while she had the management certificate, the contract would remain in place and could be undone without condition if desired.
After hearing all of Ludwig’s explanation, I got up and tried to leave, but…
“Wait.”
“… ?”
Got something else to say?
It’s not annoying, but I frowned at the urgency to watch the match between Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom, who were waiting outside.
Ludwig smiled brightly as if he had read my mood, and he handed me another card.
“Kihihi… You’ve been holding on too long Your colleagues will be waiting for you. Please take this.”
“… ?”
As soon as I received the card, I immediately checked the item.
=====
[Colosseum VIP ticket]
Admission is free, VIP seats are available, and you can order a meal or dessert of your choice.
Friends can accompany you.
=====
As I stared blankly at the card, Ludwig laughed again, apparently liking my expression.
“This is my gift for the duration of the contract. I hope you have a pleasant visit to the Colosseum.”
..
..
As soon as Min Ha-yeon, Park Jin-hee, and I entered the VIP seats, we spat out exclamations.
“Wow… Is this a single room?”
The inside of the VIP grandstand wasn’t just an exaggerated name.
The size of the auditorium was a large space that did not feel lacking even when 15 people entered, and there were various convenient furniture.
More than anything…
“Ah! This is what was built on top of the Colosseum.”
It was high enough to see not only the stadium, but also the bleachers at a glance.
For reference, the Colosseum was a crown-shaped structure.
The Colosseum, which was built in a round shape, had VIP seats like jewels in a pointy place like a crown.
There are a total of 10 VIP seats.
“They say VIP tickets are items you can’t buy even if you want to buy them with points.”
According to Ludwig, there are 10 VIP tickets, and the tickets are special items that can only be possessed with Ludwig’s authority.
And I was given permission to use this place for free during the manager’s delegation agreement.
Park Jin-hee looked at her room and smiled dejectedly.
“Wow… Suho seems like someone who lives in a very different world from me.”
Haha…”
While I was laughing embarrassingly, Min Ha-yeon looked at the wall with windows and opened her mouth.
“Ah! Suho! Bom has just entered the field!”
“The timing is perfect.”
Thinking so, I sat down on the chair, put my wrists on the armrests, and hummed to myself.
‘The dungeon income was a bit disappointing… Will Bom make me rich?’
I smiled and started betting on Hanbom.
