Chapter 380

* * * * *

“My lord.”

When they reached the square, Revill called out to Ming Hu.

“I think I know the way now.”

“Oh, yeah.”

Ming Hu slowed his pace in response to Revil’s words, and Revil picked up his pace and began to walk ahead of him.

“Prince!”

Jab!

But even that was short-lived, as Revill was forced to stop walking before he could take more than a few steps.

“Prince?

Ming Hu heard the man in front of him cry out and turned around to look at the group of royalty.

“Viscount Clem!”

Soon, Ming Hu could see the royalty walking out of the crowd.

“Was he a prince of the Duchy of Pulem?

The first royalty to walk out was Rokia, the prince of the Duchy of Pulem, who had been the first to be rescued. He only stopped walking when he reached the man in front of him, Viscount Clem, and when he did, Clem opened his mouth to speak.

“How did you get here…”

Viscount Clem trailed off and turned his head to stare at Ming Hu with a wary glare. Seeing Viscount Clem’s wary gaze and realizing that the target was Ming Hu, Rokia quickly replied in Chapter’s surprise.

“That is Count Ming Hu, the benefactor who rescued me and the others, Count of the Helioca Empire.”

“Ah!”

Viscount Clem let out a short gasp at Lokia’s words. Then the wariness in his eyes vanished. Rokia was relieved to see the warning in Viscount Clem’s eyes, and she turned and walked back to stand in front of Revil and Myung Hu.

“Thank you so much for saving my life.”

Then he bowed his head in respect. Of course, it was Ming Hu who had saved him, but Revill was the emperor’s brother. It would be disrespectful to his benefactor if he only greeted Ming Hu, which would put him in an awkward position.

[Loki, Prince of the Principality of Pulem, has increased his closeness to Pulem].

“No, it was the right thing to do.”

“If there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll come running, no matter what time it is, and I’ll see you later.”

Bowing her head once more, Rokia turned back to Viscount Clem. With that, Rokia returned, and Ming Hu, Revil, and the royals resumed their walk toward their destination.

“Princess!”

“Brother Harose!”

Is it because they’re running around in packs? Or was it the situation in Lokia just now? Periodically, nobles from various countries, recognizing the royalty, would appear and block their way.

“See you next time.”

“Thank you so much.”

And so the number of royals slowly dwindled.

Jab!

“Here it is.”

Some time later, having arrived at their destination, Revil stopped walking and said, “Minghu, look. Ming Hu heard Revil’s words and looked at his destination, the mansion that lay ahead.

“It’s huge.

What a mansion it was.

“Who.

Ming Hu pondered who the owner of the mansion might be.

“Is this a vacation home for royalty or aristocrats?

There is no royalty or nobility in the mercenary city of Yogel. But that’s because there are no royals or nobles ruling or managing it, not that it doesn’t exist. As you’ve seen on your journey here, there are many royals and nobles looking to recruit mercenaries, and they have their own mansions.

“Who are you?”

While Ming Hu was thinking about the owner of the mansion, a man came out of the mansion. He was a middle-aged man in his late 40s, neatly dressed and clean-cut.

“Hut, Mr. Revill!”

The middle-aged man who came out of the mansion was surprised to see Revil at the entrance and exclaimed in astonishment.

“It’s been a while. Deacon Hartel.”

Revil smiled and greeted Hartel, the manor’s butler, who looked at him in surprise.

“It’s been a while! Ha ha ha.”

Profit

Hartel, who looked surprised, laughed out loud and quickly opened the door. Once the door was open, Revill stepped inside and said, “I’m sorry.

“It’s been three years, right?”

“Yes, I last saw you three years ago.”

Revil and Hartel continued their conversation, and Ming Hu and the royals followed them inside.

[You have entered the mansion of the mercenary king Clytus].

“…?

The message that appeared upon entering the mansion.

“Mercenary King?

When Ming Hu saw the name of the mansion in the message, he was a little surprised.

“If I were a mercenary king…

In Yogel, the city of mercenaries, a city without royalty and nobility, there was no royalty and nobility, but something like it.

“Do you mean the mercenary king who is like the owner of this city?

The mercenary king, the king of mercenaries, the king of the mercenary city of Jogel. It was clear that the mercenary king in the message was the one Ming Hu knew. Ming Hu listened to the conversation between Revil and Hatel.

“Then all the people behind you-“

“Yes, can you do that?”

As Hartel trailed off, Revill asked.

“Sure.”

Revill asks, and Hartel nods in agreement.

“Thank you.”

“No, it’s the right thing to do, hahaha, so are you going to go right back?”

“Yes, if Mr. Clytus were here, I would have gone to see him, but since he’s not, I guess I’ll have to.”

“What a shame.”

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Ho ho, you have to come!”

“Haha, I get it.”

Thus ended the conversation, Hartel turned around, bowed to the royalty, and continued.

“Hello, my name is Hartel. First of all…”

Hatel spoke, and the royals began to listen. Ming Hu watched Hartel and the royals, and then Revil, who had approached, spoke.

“I think we can all go home safely now.”

We don’t know how long it will take, but one thing was for sure: they will return safely to their respective kingdoms.

“Well, shall we go back now?”

Ming Hu, hearing Revil’s words, asked.

“Yes.”

Revil nodded at Ming Hu’s question, and Ming Hu opened his inventory and pulled out the warp scroll he’d gotten from the Imperial Palace Mages before coming here, handing it to Revil.

“This is a solo warp scroll. The warp location is the Imperial Palace Mages Warp Zone.”

“Okay, I’ll see you when I get back.”

Revil smiled at Myung-Hoo’s explanation and tore straight to the scroll.

Siaak

Soon a small circle of magic appeared at Revil’s feet, and a moment later he vanished in a flash of light.

“Let’s go.

Ming Hu pulled out a scroll for Revil to warp to and warp alongside. He then tore the scroll apart.

Siaak

He tore open the scroll and a magic circle appeared at Ming Hu’s feet, identical to the one that had appeared at Revil’s feet earlier. Ming Hu looked away from the magic circle and toward the royalty.

“Why are you looking at me?

When Ming Hu saw the royalty, he couldn’t help but shake his head. Unlike the other royals who were staring at Hartel, there was one who was staring at Ming Hu.

“Was her name Aria?

That royalty is none other than Arya, Princess of the Kingdom of Multhan.

“…”

Locking eyes with Ming Hu, Aria wordlessly bowed her head in greeting. Her gratitude for being saved was clear. In response to Aria’s greeting, Ming Hu smirked, remembering the chair she had thrown, and bowed in return. At the same time, a bright light emanated from the magic circle and a message appeared.

Siaak

[Warp].

* * * * *

“Thank you.”

[Your merit rises by 100 million].

[Alkan Helioca’s confidence in you has increased].

As Alkan finished speaking, a message appeared.

“I never thought there would be another reward.

The quest is complete and you have already received your reward. Ming Hu, who hadn’t expected to earn another reward like this, smiled inwardly at the unexpected reward.

“No. Then…”

Ming Hu walked out of the office with Alkan and Revil looking like they had a lot to talk about, and walked down the hallway to open his character window.

“…”

After checking the character information, Ming Hu smiled wordlessly.

“My level has gone up like crazy.

Achievements were achievements, but Ming Hu was most pleased with his massive level increase. Ming Hu closed the character window with a satisfied expression and then opened the quest window.

Refurem, the god of luck and thieves, has a proposition for you: kill the Kraken, a race known to the gods as the Faradon. You don’t know why Leprechaun wants to kill the Kraken, or why he wants to do so. What is your choice: accept Refurem’s offer and kill the Kraken or refuse?

There were a total of three quests in the quest window. Based on when he received the quest, he should have killed the Kraken immediately to complete Refurem’s Proposal, but Ming Hu had no intention of doing so. Despite the lack of a deadline, Ming Hu planned to complete the ranked quests first to get the rank needed to use Agatha’s Shard.

“I’m going to go wake up now.

-To Delay: Delay!

Ming Hu closed the quest window and whispered to Jian Chen.

-Delay: Yeah! Are you coming?

A short time after sending the whisper, Delay received a whisper back.

-To Delay: I’m going back now. Are you at the mansion?

-Delay: No, I’m just outside for a minute and then heading back. Are you going to leave right away?

-To Delay: I’d like to leave right away if you don’t mind.

-Delay: It’s me, of course I’m fine. Hehe, see you later!

-To Delay: Yeah. See you later.

The whisper ended, and Ming Hu stopped walking. He used the Ring of Memory to create a portal. As Ming Hu walked through the portal, he thought.

“What kind of place.

Most of the unexplored areas I’ve traveled to so far have been close to the frontier, so they don’t feel very unexplored. But this time, Lake Belkan was more than two days away from the frontier. I was quite excited to see what it would be like.
