Chapter 179 – Exit
Marjorie was suffering.
It was because the guys who usually get up very late every morning-, were up with their eyes red open.
Yesternight-.
In order to keep them apart for a while, Marjorie spread lies according to the plan Seo-jun had told her.
In other words, the lie was that Seo-joon and his party took on the first commissioned work (the first commission) – and decided to help with it -.
He said that it was a job in the port city of Larpen in the northwest, so he thought he would have to go there.
When asked why he had to go so far, he replied that even though he wasn’t mean, he was a disciple, so it would be right to morally help him with the arrangement.
Of course, instead of Marjorie, who couldn’t lie, Hans said.
That’s what the guys are like- and nodded.
“You guys are here…? I’ll be back soon…”
She must have hoped that she would get over safely like that, but watching the boys prepare to leave in the morning like this, a cold sweat broke out on her back.
To Marjorie’s question, the second answered with a smile.
“I’m not trying to follow you. We also have somewhere else to go.”
“That, that, that…?”
Marjorie looked around with an embarrassing smile on her face—the others also shamelessly nodded.
“Where-?”
“While my sister is away, I’m thinking of doing a small security request.”
Security request-?
Since he was the second in charge of the mercenary’s mother, I thought he would have picked and caught it on his own.
So, it didn’t look like he really wanted to follow him.
Whiyuuuuu consciously, Marjorie covered her mouth in surprise.
“Then let’s go, sister.”
The first greeted her as a representative.
After accepting the guy’s hug with his body creaking awkwardly, Marjorie packed up and left the inn. Hans trotted after her.
Even so, Marjorie, who had difficulty shaking off her anxiety, occasionally glanced back and headed for the north gate where Seo-jun was waiting.
Time got a little late because I was looking at the guys.
I hurried my steps. Sweat dripped down my eyelids.
…
While waiting for the two, Seo-joon checked the clothes one by one.
Items bought at the market were weighed and distributed to who would carry how much.
You won’t have to carry your luggage while riding the cart, but since you’ll be riding on mountain trails later on, it’s better to distribute it in advance.
After sharing it and each carrying it, the shoulders of the four people felt quite heavy.
Among them, the one who carried the most was definitely Seo-joon. Even though the hanjang towered high enough to lift a load over his head, Seo-joon didn’t seem to be too heavy.
He narrowed his eyes, looked around, and sucked on the smoking pipe.
Just then, someone came running from afar with bright red hair waving. Right behind him was a large man with brown hair – Hans.
As soon as Marjorie arrived, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled apologetically.
“Heh heh heh heh-Jo, aren’t you a little late? Sorry.”
“Seriously, if you know you’re sorry, it’s not too late.”
Monica murmurs her self-talk as if to be heard by her.
It was Margery who glared at her for a moment with her pouting gaze, then apologized again and again.
And then you quickly lowered your head too- and slammed Hans’s shin. Ahh- the guy who screamed apologetically lowered his head.
Seo-joon waved his hand moderately and put the smoking pipe back into the front shelf. Then he ran Margery through him from head to toe.
For something that came out in a hurry, it was well prepared.
A huge pavis (large shield), a crossbow, and an ax with jagged blades catch my eye. Pavis’ iron frame and ax blade were quite shiny, as if he had been well groomed for today.
He said he was going to the devil’s cave, so he seemed to be well-prepared.
However, there were a few things that bothered her, thanks to her tendency not to be conscious of herself as a woman.
Seo-joon approached her and wiped her dried saliva from the corner of her mouth with her thumb.
“Hehe…?”
She must have been surprised by Seo-joon’s sudden skinship, and she stiffened.
But Seojun didn’t care.
She tidied up her sprawling red hair, and last night scraped away the crumbs of her semen with her fingernails that the two-year-old pet dogs raved over her body and could not wipe off. She was inside the pinna of her ear.
She drew in her breath at him and let out a strange moan, then twisted her waist to avoid Seo-jun’s hand.
Her cheeks turned red and she glared at Seo-joon.
“What, what, what, what are you doing!”
“It was dirty, so I wiped it off. Don’t act like a pretty face, sister. You are upset.”
Margery’s entire face turned red at what Seo-jun said as he shrugged her shoulders. She started to hiccup- and hiccup as her heart beat so fast.
Seojun smiled and nodded her head.
“Then shall we depart without delay?”
“That, like that…! Fluffy-.”
A hiccup covered her protruding mouth and let out her hot breath. Margery straightened her shoulder straps and hurriedly followed Seo-joon.
Hans narrowed his eyes and glared at Seo-jun. It was a very uncomfortable look.
Whether he did it or not, Seo-jun entered the stable he had stopped by earlier and called the coachman.
The coachman, who had just finished preparations, pulled the horse out.
Since we had to ride a total of seven people, including the coachman, there were two horses. It was a speckled, black-haired horse that the coachman had just been combing.
The wagon was just the right size. If six of them boarded, the seat would fill up.
“Twenty-five fairy tales per head. I paid for the two of you.”
Seo-joon showed some condescension.
Even if it was a small amount, it was not something that could be found by digging in the ground. Fifty fairy tales were enough to get a suitable prostitute from the Changgwan and drain the water once.
Marjorie said thank you and said she would do the math, but Seo-joon shook her head. He shrugged his shoulders, asking for a massage later. Marjorie scratched the Volga in agreement.
“Then let’s go.”
I must have saved a wagon, so I headed to the north gate where the checkpoint was long.
As she walked along her path, she occasionally looked behind her, worried that someone might be following them.
Well, there was nothing to worry about. Even if you don’t look back and check, you’re sure to be following me from a great distance.
Seo-joon had no intention of brushing off their tailing until the entrance of the devil’s cave. It would be enough after that to keep them apart.
“Did you hear that? I heard that lepers are dying in droves on Ivy Mountain these days-.”
“What does it have to do with them dying? Carry the load straight.”
In front of the North Gate of the River Mill, a long line of people being checked to leave the city stretched out.
From a peddler carrying a bag as big as my body, to a merchant riding a wagon, and to the porters hired by the merchant-.
And there were various aspects, including mercenaries hired to protect the merchant.
Still, the line wasn’t that long like the day I first entered the city. The speed at which the line was shortened was fast, and soon it was Seo-jun’s turn.
“Next.”
When the man with a deep voice snapped his hand, Seo-joon went and stood in front of him.
The captain of the guard in charge of the north gate rubs his beard and turns his head around to look around.
Wearing hardened leather armor and wearing a chain hood, the gaze of the captain of the guard stopped at Marjori while looking at Seo-jun and his companions.
“Uh-, boo, red fox? Why are you leaving already? Didn’t you say you were going to rest for a month last time?”
The two seemed to be friends.
Marjorie shrugged at him and replied roughly that it happened. The captain of the guard scratched his shaggy chin and shook his head.
“… That’s right-, kuh hmm hmm.”
There was a brief but awkward silence.
Seo-joon’s eyes rolled.
It seemed like she had a crush on Marjorie. When the soldiers who were waiting for instructions started to check them, the captain of the guard raised his hand and stopped them.
He even says something to Marjorie.
“I heard that a while ago, I had a wrestling match with an idiot and lost. I’m sorry.”
The chief of the guard said these words as a way of consoling the woman he had affection for, but Margery, who had heard those words, tilted his head to the side, saying that he had no idea why you were expressing regret.
“What···. I must have lost because I deserved it—?”
“…”
Silence for a moment again.
“Kuhm, but I’m glad you don’t seem so gloomy. How long will this request take?”
“Well-, Han…”
Marjorie glanced at Seo-jun.
“At least 15 days, at the longest, it will take about a month.”
It was Margery who said yes to Seo-jun’s words and shook his head.
The captain of the guard let out an uncomfortable groan. It seems that he didn’t like the fact that the tall-looking Seo-jun intervened in the conversation between the two.
But after that, the captain of the guard, who was supposed to be talking, couldn’t say anything and just munched his lips.
The soldiers behind me patted my chest in frustration.
I just wanted to urge him to say something quickly—because I could see he had a crush on Marjorie—but the difference in class prevented me from doing so.
“Is our inspection over? Are you leaving now?”
At Margery’s plaintive question, the chief of the guards hesitated and shook his head involuntarily.
“It is over. Let’s go. Ha Seo-joon.”
In the end, he was the captain of the guard who had to let her go again without being able to express her feelings unlike her.
A pitiful sigh escaped the mouths of the soldiers who watched the scene.
Seo-joon burst out laughing and said good work before walking toward the wide-open north gate.
Following him – the party followed with quick steps.
Hans, who had been glaring at the captain of the guard with his eyes narrowed, also belatedly followed behind the party.
I crossed the wide open north gate and stepped on the dirt outside.
“Write-.”
Ian felt the breeze tickling his hair and sucked the rust-colored wind into his nostrils.
I could feel the smell of grass.
I put my luggage on the wagon first and got on one by one.
“Let’s go, you guys.”
The coachman snapped the reins and the horses began to move their legs.
Close to close-.
The carriage rolled with the sound of horseshoes hitting the road. The road was fairly straight, so the ups and downs weren’t too bad.
Ian looked at the scenery of Rivermill, a small town that was getting farther and farther away.
He felt as if he had finally begun his journey.
