Episode 7 – Information Organization, Meeting the Black Feather Branch Leader (3)

Obtaining the information to go to Glesius Academy from the Skywind Tavern is a great benefit. I was able to.

According to the information provided by the bar owner, the name of this village was Oak Tree Village.

It is a three-day walk from the city of Belsarem, where you must visit to go to the Glesius Academy.

Looking at the note the bar owner gave me, I saw that there were about five days left until the next flight.

If you miss this trip, you will have to wait until the next trip.

The merchant class that arrives in Belsarem moves to Glesius Academy once every two weeks.

One week could be 10 days, or it could be a month, but based on the information in the bar owner’s note, two weeks are roughly 14 to 15 days.

So, the calculation results show that a week is about 7 days.

If you look at the fact that this world also uses the unit of a week, the concept of time and date seems to be no different from that of Earth.

Anyway, to start from Oak Tree Village and go to Belsarem, you have to walk for three days and nights.

‘Can I safely get to Belsarem alone?’

I thought about whether I could safely move to Belsarem alone and came to the conclusion that it was not possible.

This is a village about a three-day walk from a large city where merchants who supply goods to the Academy stop by.

But what is the reason for a village like this to protect itself by surrounding it with a thick wooden fence?

There was a high possibility that there were dangerous monsters living near this village, or a gang of thieves who specialized in robbing the village.

So what was the conclusion I came to… ….

“Well, I’m sorry.”

“What’s happening again this time?”

I went back to the Skywind Tavern and got information on whether there was a place in this town that could hire mercenaries.

No matter how hard I tried to think, I couldn’t come up with an answer other than getting information from here based on my knowledge.

“Is there anywhere in this town where I can hire mercenaries?”

“…… “You mean a mercenary?”

The owner of the Sky Wind Bar seemed troubled by my question and hesitated to answer.

Are you saying it’s difficult to say it out loud?

In that case, we have no choice but to pull out our secret weapon.

I carefully took out a silver coin from my pocket and placed it on the counter.

“… ….”

The owner looked at the silver coin I had placed on the counter, sighed, and picked it up.

“Since I received payment, I should give you the information. There are three inns in Oak Tree Village, the largest of which is the Whirlwind Inn, a two-story building.”

“Do you mean that if you go to the Whirlwind Inn, you can hire mercenaries?”

If you go to the Whirlwind Inn, you can hire mercenaries.

But where on earth is the Whirlwind Inn?

Hmm? Wait for a sec. The inn I stayed at was definitely a two-story building, right?

So you’re saying I was able to hire mercenaries at the inn I stayed at?

Huh, indeed. This is why there is a huge difference between knowing and not knowing information.

“That’s right. Mercenaries looking for work stay at the Whirlwind Inn for long periods of time. “This is because people who go on long journeys alone, like guests, look for escorts.”

“I see.”

How much does it roughly cost to hire a mercenary? First of all, the cost of lodging at an inn per day is about ten copper coins, so can you hire a mercenary for about two silver coins?

“Thank you for the information. “Can I go to the inn and talk to someone to hire a mercenary?”

“If you look at the Whirlwind Inn, there will be a waitress there. Among them, find someone with freckles and slightly dull blonde hair and say this. “I came here because Justin of Black Feather introduced me.”

The bar owner. Despite its appearance, it is surprisingly sweet.

They are considerate of people like me and even allow me to use my personal connections to easily recruit mercenaries.

“I understand. Justin in black feathers. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

“What is your name?”

I was about to go find a mercenary, but the bar owner, Justin, asked my name.

Why are they suddenly asking my name? As I thought about it, I remembered that we didn’t even say anything to each other.

Gosh. They say it’s polite to say your full name first when you meet someone, but I was being rude from the beginning.

But what name should I say?

Name on Earth?

Or the name I will use in this world?

But is there any reason to worry about which of the two to choose?

I who lived on Earth have died, and now this world is my home.

So, while remembering that I am from Earth, it would be right to use a name that is appropriately suited to this world.

So what name suits you best?

The name my parents gave me on Earth was Park Dong-sik.

The pronunciation was a bit strange, but it had the meaning of decorating a rainbow by using the character sik (飾) to decorate the dong (蝀) character for “Rainbow.”

Park Dong-sik, Park Dong-sik, Park Dong-si, Park Do-si, Batoshi, pathosi, pathos, pathos? Pathos?

Pathos? Does it sound like a good name? Okay, starting today my name is Pathos.

“Pathos. It’s called pathos.”

From Noble mtl dot com

“It’s pathos. That name. I’ll keep that in mind. “Then, please go in carefully.”

With Justin’s polite greeting, I was able to leave the Skywind Tavern.

‘By the way, it’s Justin. Black feathers? ‘I think I’ve heard this before somewhere?’

Well, you’ll find out later. First, I thought I would have to go to the Whirlwind Inn and hire mercenaries first.

My goal now was to head to Glessius Academy.

◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈

Justin, head of the Black Feather Belsarem branch.

In just a few minutes, he met someone he thought he would never see again.

“Well, I’m sorry.”

“What’s happening again this time?”

When the unknown and powerful person who did not give any information to him and only stole the information appeared in his hideout again, a blunt word came out of Justin’s mouth.

However, fortunately, the unidentified person in power did not make an issue of this.

Justin, who realized it too late, had to sigh in relief.

If the being who took the brunt of his intimidation had found fault with the tone of what he had just said, it seemed like something big would happen.

So, he was thankful that the unknown powerful person who opened the door of the hideout and entered did not take issue with his tone, and was staring at his mouth to see what he would say.

“Is there anywhere in this town where I can hire mercenaries?”

“…… “You mean a mercenary?”

When asked where to hire mercenaries, Justin was secretly impressed.

If he can withstand his intimidation, he is not a thief, but a man of skill who can subdue a group of thieves with a single sword.

Seeing him appeal to his weaknesses as if they were real, he thought that true strength can only be achieved by those who stick to it until the end even if their eccentricities are discovered.

Of course, that was a clear misunderstanding on Justin’s part.

However, thanks to that misunderstanding, things started to go in a good direction for Park Dong-sik, a person from Earth.

Even when Park Dong-sik handed out silver coins, his misunderstanding began to deepen even further.

‘The fee for finding out information is one silver coin. Considering the price paid for information, is pretending to be weak a common eccentricity among the strong?’

Park Dong-sik felt bad for obtaining the information leading to Glesius Academy barehanded, so he offered the silver coin to save face, but Justin thought differently.

As Justin, he had no intention of having to deal with a strong man who had overcome his intimidation, and since he had received compensation for purchasing the information, he planned to tell him the information he wanted.

Justin, who handed over information about where to hire mercenaries, decided to owe Park Dong-soo one thing.

When looking for a mercenary, he told them to state their affiliation and name.

Then, no one in this village would know who he was, so he would be able to hire mercenaries at a low cost.

This was an action taken by Justin because he was well aware that if he owed a strong person, whether small or large, it would later bring him great profits.

“I understand. Justin in black feathers. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

“What is your name?”

Now all that was left was to find out the name of that strong man.

“Pathos. It’s called pathos.”

“It’s pathos. That name. I’ll keep that in mind. “Then, please go in carefully.”

When Park Dong-sik mentioned Pathos, a name he came up with on the spot, Justin stuck the name in his head.

A man who has the skills to overcome his own intimidation, but is so good at imitating weak people that even he is fooled.

His name, Pathos.

Justin, feeling happy that he had found out the name of a new, unknown strongman, pushed the liquor cabinet.

Then a secret space was revealed, and inside was a cage filled with whole eggs.

Justin approached the cage containing the Jeon Seo-gu wearing a necklace that said ‘Twirlwind Inn’ and took out the Jeon Seo-gu.

Next, he wrote something down, tied it to Jeon Seo-gu’s leg, and sent Jeon Seo-gu flying through the window.

The thing tied to Jeon Seo-gu’s leg is the man who will go to the Whirlwind Inn.

It was information about pathos.

Jeon Seo-gu immediately flew to the Whirlwind Inn and sat down on the second floor window.

Then, the woman standing near the window untied the note tied to Jeon Seo-gu’s leg and checked its contents.

“Submission completed. “It’s okay to go back.”

The woman who confirmed the contents of her note tapped Jeon Seo-gu on the head, and Jeon Seo-gu returned to the Sky Wind Bar.

There was a smile of anticipation on the lips of the woman looking at Jeon Seo-gu flying beyond the window.
