Chapter 174 – 170 Saint Farhists
The morning after the two women had spent the night almost awake.
After finishing training and eating, Hwanin sat Isilite and Anne down and talked about future plans.
“As a result of experiencing the labyrinth prison for a day, I concluded that a trap expert is needed to explore the labyrinth prison.”
= Yes. In a place like a prison labyrinth, a trap specialist is more essential than a front line tanker.=
Hwan-in nods her head slightly to Anne, who answers while drinking the tea Isilite gave her.
“So, if the labyrinth is reopened, I plan to find a one-time party member to go down to the 19th floor from the administrator.”
= Um…… Are you okay though? The captain’s ability is only difficult when it is revealed. No matter how much you dress up as a wizard, if you are a person who registers as a mercenary as an administrative officer, you will be able to see through the oddities.=
She clapped her hands once as if Isilite knew about Anna’s story, which concerned her, she said.
= Ah! Master, are you planning to dress up as a rich man with a lot of money?=
“Okay. I intend to watch over you and Anne from the back with only blessings.”
=…… Yes. If that’s the case, no problem. If Bijang is also the captain, the sense of incongruity will disappear. Wouldn’t it be strange if a wealthy young boy hires a professional to experience the labyrinth?=
Anne giggles before long and smiles mischievously at her Hwanin.
=Should I call you Bocchan so that I don’t make mistakes in advance? I think it would be more appropriate to call him a master rather than a master. Hwanin Doryeong. =
= I’ll just call you the master. If it were the master, he would think he was a high-status rich man, but it wouldn’t be strange for such a rich man to have a professional maid. You can say that Anne is a sex fighter who is close to her master. =
=No, how about I say that I am a mercenary hired exclusively by the captain?=
=…… Anyway, I don’t think that’s a bit.=
= Huh? How am I!=
= What is it that a 6th grade Holy Fighter is missing, so he works as a mercenary? Even if you enter the baronial family, you will occupy a high position right away.=
= A noble with a high rank can hire him…… G.=
Despite his energetic words, his attitude softened a little. She also said that she wanted this to be a little off.
Soon after, she looked at the women giggling among themselves and took a sip of a tea similar to lemon tea.
“And until the labyrinth is reopened, I will try to learn trap-related skills with the party funds. If the reopening period is longer, there will be no need to hire a postmaster. It’s not that there are traps every visit, so it’s just a matter of learning the core skills.”
You can set a route down and learn to disarm only the traps along that route.
It is a labyrinth that has been going on for hundreds of years. If it was a union or guild where Farghist fighters gathered, they would of course know what kind of traps were attached to which doors on each floor.
If you don’t know, there’s nothing much to see there, so just ignore it.
Being aware of Hwanin’s attitude, I noticed that he wasn’t just saying the words.
= Huh? Really learn skills?=
“Okay.”
= Hmm……. Ordinary people would tell you to dig only one well because there is a limit to your talent…… It’s okay because you’re the captain.=
Isilite nodded slightly as if agreeing with Anne’s words.
Hwanin was a bit suspicious of how he looked at him and behaved like that, but when he felt people outside, he didn’t mind and got up from his seat.
“Then go out and come back. Eat lunch together.”
Smart smart
[Hwanin-nim~ Seul-i dew~ Unni Anne~ This is Aruru~.]
Hwanin beckoned her Bisang to come here, and she accepted the hooded cloak that Isilite gave her.
Gilles = The part that was scorched by the flame amulet thrown by Bexle has been cleaned.
As I opened the door wearing a new hooded cape, Aruru, who was standing in front of the door, quickly bent down and asked.
= Oh. Hwanin-nim, are you going out today?=
“Yes. Today, I plan to look around alone. Come in.”
=Ap, yep.=
Hwanin closed the door after seeing the blonde dog-eared girl enter the house, and headed to the northern part of Farkhist.
Hwanin, who was collecting information on the general atmosphere and rumors about Cravery while wandering around seven northern downtown areas, felt that the atmosphere was starting to turn into curiosity and hatred and anger in earnest.
=It’s true that Yona was killed by Crabberry’s bastard!=
= Oh, who said what?! Isn’t it a situation that hasn’t been accurately announced! That’s why the lord of the castle should be careful with his remarks before he speaks!=
=I heard that the child who is self-centered, fucking, gillesson, or garbage hasn’t come out of the labyrinth yet! Hundreds of people have seen him with the robbers! After you go in and catch that bastard, you can interrogate or torture him to find out!=
=Isn’t that all a rumor with an inaccurate source! What do you think will happen if bad words come to the ears of the castle lord of Crabberry after talking like this! It’s a war, a war!!=
=We, the Farhist people, are not afraid of war! Of course, the Beast God’s punishment must fall on the naive children who do not acknowledge their mistakes!!
If there are people who seem to be acquaintances like this, there are people who fight loudly on the roadside.
=I heard an envoy from Crabberry is coming in two days?=
= I really don’t like it……. Even if Seongju-nim can’t step forward because of his position, shouldn’t he watch the people below him like this?
= That’s right Just the thought of those bastards stepping on the ground of the Farghists makes me excited…….=
=If I were a knight, I would run right away and yell at all the fucking idiots of the delegation. It’s frustrating. =
There were also people who showed their anger as if they were going to attack the delegation at any moment.
All in all, they are images that are firmly possessed by the spiciness of black propaganda in the 21st century.
Do you think it’s natural? There were also people who struggled to calm this atmosphere.
They were professional knights in blue or white coats, accompanied by between two and four soldiers, warning them not to be swayed by rumors or reassuring them not to make hasty judgments as nothing had been confirmed yet. Was in the middle
Of course, people respect them and say yes in front of them, but when they turn around, they often whisper that there is something wrong.
Hwanin gave low marks to the knights’ response.
I don’t know what instructions were given from above, but in the yard where malicious rumors are spreading, mere soldiers walking around warning people to be careful is literally adding fuel to the fire.
In order to dispel bad rumors, a person with a worthy position must publicly announce them…….
‘There’s no way I could do that.’
Jonah = Aslid = Farghist, the maiden who asked her to deliver her body to the Acclamation Graduate School was the third daughter of Penri = Justio = Farghist, the lord of the castle.
According to rumors, he was a very nice and kind person, and he was loved and expected by his father, and he was highly popular and respected by his seniors and juniors, but such a person died.
I don’t know, but the white castle standing tall in the center of that city must be like a bomb with the wick on fire.
‘Did they say they would come in two days from the south gate? If I go to see it then, I’ll see something interesting.’
Even after touring the city for several hours, Hwan-in, who confirmed that nothing was said about him except for talking about swearing at Crabberry and Gilles-Bexle, lightly visited the guild that had been confirmed through Aruru.
=Please wait here for a moment. Trap Instructor will be coming soon.=
“Yes.”
The Yeopsa Union was a U-shaped three-story building that felt like a school.
In the white-themed entrance and lobby, there were several small resting areas for visitors, and on the other side, near the information desk, there was a bulletin board with what appeared to be commissioned papers neatly attached.
Among the people who come and go, the majority of people with professions have an aura that flows quietly like a river, or people who don’t have an aura at all like themselves.
Among them, there are people who check the bulletin board, and there are people who are directed to something by the guide.
Hwanin, who was waiting leisurely while looking around the lobby, noticed a black-haired woman in her early twenties approaching him.
Aura is 4th grade. The weight distribution of the gait is quite good, and it seems that there is some martial arts skill in the gait and shaking of the shoulders.
When Hwanin, who had been sitting on the sofa very casually, got up from her seat, the expression of a young woman with black puma ears became different.
They say that the guide is like a powerful family who hid their identity, wasn’t it true?
Gallot, a woman who confirmed that her demeanor and clothes showed off her cuteness, brushed off her puma ears, which were soft like silk, and bowed slightly to greet Hwanin.
= Hello. Hwanin-nim, who hoped for training on trap detection and dismantling, is that correct?=
“You’re right.”
= Nice to meet you. I’m Galot, a 4th-level tracker who was entrusted with Hwanin’s education. You can call her Galotte =
“Nice to meet you, Miss Garlot.”
When her Hwanin politely greets her and extends her hand, Gallot also smiles and shakes her hand.
Then, after sitting facing each other, they opened their mouths while looking at the two documents written by Hwanin with the guide.
= Um~. You wrote that you want trap detection and dismantling training until the prison labyrinth is reopened. I don’t know if this question makes you uncomfortable, but I think you should ask. Why are you trying to learn trap skills? Seeing Hwanin-nim, it seems like he’s in a position to hire people with skills rather than learning these skills.=
“What is the meaning of status when learning skills?”
= Of course there is. People who absolutely need technology have a different attitude to learn technology. Teaching such a person is convenient for this side and also gives experience and career.
At the same time, the high-ranking person was Gallot, who said without hesitation that difficulties blossomed in teaching because of his lack of passion.
“You’re making it difficult to say that you won’t let a high or noble family learn while they’re bored.”
When she said it with a grin, Gallot opened her eyes wide and burst out laughing at her pahaha.
= My life is precious to me too. How can you say such a thing without hesitation? Anyway, you’d be more comfortable hiring someone than learning a skill, so why bother learning a skill?=
“I have that in mind too, but now I want to learn the technique.”
= Ugh. You are determined. Then…… Follow me. I’ll test it to see if I’ll be able to learn it. Of course, this test is a regular process that is introduced in the actual combination trap training. It is also the right of an educator to give up education if the qualifications are insufficient.=
Therefore, even if the application for education is rejected, Gallot squints and says, “Don’t be resentful.”
“All right.”
If it’s for money, it would be normal to hold on to him and forcefully teach him even if he doesn’t have the qualifications. Feeling a bit fresh, Hwanin followed Garlot to a small room on the second floor.
The tests that were conducted there were quite…… It was at a level where I felt the intention to drop out on purpose.
=This is a test to check the sensation and sensitivity of the fingertips. Count how many bumps there are on this hide.=
It’s like finding a little bump on a small piece of leather the size of a palm and using your fingertips without looking at it, several times smaller than Braille.
= The most important ability for a trap master is the keen eye to discover traps in the labyrinth in advance. It’s a test to check that keen eye.=
In a room made of white stone walls, a room decorated like a forest with trees and grass, a room that feels like a cave made with rocks from a cave, and a room decorated like a prison labyrinth, find traps with your eyes only.
=Using tools is a natural skill that a trapper should have. It is a test to see the intuitive ability of using tools.=
Figuring out how to use something that looks like a bonsai tool, something that looks like a monkey wrench, something that looks like a dental tool, something that looks like a pottery tool, and so on.
The third test felt a little forced, but Hwanin did not vomit and tried his best within the limits of his knowledge.
And after the test.
=…… The qualifications to become a trapper are excellent. Sensitivity of the fingertips 9 out of 10 points, attention and discernment 10 points out of 10 points, intuition 9 points out of 10 points, seriousness 10 points out of 10 points. The result is beyond my expectations.=
“The last item…….”
=If you showed a negative or rebellious attitude to the test and didn’t take it seriously, you would be deducted in real time. Things like ‘How do I do this?’, ‘How does this help?’, ‘I’m here to learn skills, not to be tested!’
Hwanin nodded slightly.
Certainly, if you have an impatient personality, you will not be suitable for a trapper who needs to be serious and careful in any situation. And seeing such a hwanin, Gallot put his hand on his waist and sighed as if he could barely hear it.
= I can’t help it. Promises are promises and results are results. Education contract…… Should?=
Signing a training contract with Gallot was simple. It ends with coming down to the lobby of the union and signing the contract magic tool with the guide.
The contract didn’t write down the details, but the skills to be learned were subdivided into ten items.
Theory and practice are conducted twice for each major item, and it is said that the two sessions will end whether the student has acquired the skill or not.
Each item is taught for 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon, for a total of 20 days.
= This lesson is an introductory lesson. Next comes the basic level and finally the advanced level. As you know, the achievement of this learning depends on your own efforts.=
Gallot continues his explanation to Hwanin, who is checking the contract.
=The union only provides education, experience does not help. That’s why even if you learn a skill, you have to create your own party or join a party that has been created in order to use it yourself. Joining such a party and creating a party is difficult for ordinary people.=
“Even for non-Awakened people, trap removal is an area of skill, so isn’t it irrelevant to your job?”
= That is the opinion of a person with very common sense. There are combat problems within the labyrinth, and jobless people are more vulnerable to mental invasion than professional people, so normal parties don’t recruit jobless trappers.=
“Even if you are unemployed, you can stabilize your mind through mental care…… I’d rather get a professional trapper than do something like that.”
=Yes.=
After checking the contract, Hwanin realized that the training was more systematic than he thought.
The contents taught for 20 days are also briefly written in the contract, so I wonder if I can break through the labyrinth of the prison without a grudge.
When Hwanin signs, Gallot also signs and hands it over to the smiling guide who is sitting next to him.
=Training fee is 20 days, 20 theory and practice, 5 gold coins in total.=
“How much will the basic and advanced courses cost?”
=The basic course costs 5 gold coins, and the advanced course costs 10 gold coins.=
20 gold coins in all. It’s definitely a huge price that ordinary people can’t afford.
In addition, to teach this skill to others after learning it, you need a training book issued by the cooperative, which is money, but it is not easy to get because you have to contribute a certain amount to the cooperative.
Moreover, if you are caught illegally transferring skills, you will be caught by bounty hunters for breach of contract, transferred, and compensated for the damage caused to the union.
Representatively, there is a temporary slave contract and forcibly included in a party entering a dangerous labyrinth.
=The damage is recovered by renting a hunting or trapper to a party that needs it and collecting the cost for the union. So it’s better not to pass on the skills you’ve learned to others.=
“Understand. Then I’ll come tomorrow at 8 o’clock. Miss Garlot, please take care of me.”
=Yes. This school prepares the training materials necessary for the course, so you only need to bring your body. Try hard for 20 days.=
“Yes.”
