Chapter 2

Sold 002.

Wood opened his eyes to the sound of rattling.

Through the window of the helmet, a wooden-colored space was visible.

The back of my neck is itchy.

what the hell is going on where is this

Somehow, I try to bring back the last memory.

‘Sold? I? What are you talking about?’

Obviously, the agents said at the end.

“You were sold in Dreamland.”

“Is it a carriage?”

A faint sound of voices and hooves can be heard outside.

Surprisingly wide, it is a wagon used to move luggage or carry several people.

There were also long chairs on either side.

The smell of wood was also that of very high-quality wood.

Wood confirmed his current status.

Are you locked up, or you are gagged? It wasn’t meant to be used when moving slaves.

Rather, it is covered with a warm blanket.

“uh?”

It is not such a rough, non-woven piece that has been covered for two years.

A nice blanket that feels pretty expensive.

Wood touched it. it was bubbling It smells good too.

I touched it a few more times.

How long has it been since you lost your mind?

At first, I thought about escaping the carriage, but I immediately gave up.

It didn’t look like anything was going to happen right away.

Above all, it wouldn’t be bad to figure out the situation and move on.

“Obviously… phonics or something.”

It was a name Wood knew.

noble family.

Among them, it was the name of one of the great aristocratic families called the ten nobles.

While living in Dreamland, Wood got to know a lot of influential people.

Mostly in conversations with people living in nearby rooms.

Or in conversations with VIPs from beyond the stadium.

And it was from a woman who was looking for her.

The Phoenix is ​​clearly a family with considerable power as a samurai family among the 10 nobles.

It is said that in the past wars, great military training was established.

However, there is a limit to reasoning with that.

With these clues, Wood couldn’t figure out why he was being sold.

Knock-knock-knock-knock- …..

At that time, the movement of the vehicle gradually decreased.

The rattling disappears, and the rustling of the horses is heard.

The carriage stopped.

rumble.

Soon, several people entered the luggage compartment.

Seeing the outfits of the personnel, Wood quickly corrected the helmet and stood up.

The clothes of those who entered are the uniforms of the hunter.

These are the monster hunters who are certified by the country.

His movements were also quite refined.

Their white and black combat uniforms were essential for hunters.

And the costumes of the hunters have slightly different designs and patterns depending on the power.

The phoenix pattern is now engraved on their combat uniform.

There were a total of seven people in the carriage, except for Wood, until the number of people who came in after that.

Five men and two women.

It wasn’t difficult for Wood to figure out the hierarchical relationship between them.

The two people who came in late were not in hunter outfits, but rather formal outfits.

Yes, like the nobles who come to Dreamland.

The younger of the two approached Wood with a smirk.

“Is this the first sunlight you see in two years?”

“……What are you doing?”

Wood opened his mouth only to understand the situation.

At the bold remarks delivered by the boy in the helmet, the man called the head of the family laughed as if surprised.

Rather than being surprised when I saw it, it was a rather refreshing laugh.

However, it was not the head of the household who responded to Wood’s words.

oh oh oh oh oh!!

At once, three blades came towards Wood’s neck. It was the sword of the Hunters.

“Do you look at this little boy?”

“I am rude in front of the headmaster.”

“Lack of courtesy.”

“……”

A sense of iron that is rough under the helmet.

The sound of sharp iron hitting the helmet covering the tip of the chin is heard.

Wood glanced at them under the helmet.

It was three men who drew the sword.

And there are two women waiting in the back.

They also had the momentum to aim their swords at any moment.

“Stop it.”

A middle-aged bearded man who served next to the head of the family stopped them.

“This is the attitude towards the lord. Shouldn’t we start by teaching manners first, Captain Alberto?”

“Dian. didn’t you hear what i said I told you to stop.”

“However…….!”

The handsome bearded man- Alberto’s words were difficult for these five to accept.

Alberto continued.

“Do not provoke.”

“Captain Alberto, what is that… Huh?!”

it was a moment

The man with the sword-Dian trembled at the terrifying sensation.

It’s not just Diane. passed on to everyone here.

The air that takes your breath away in an instant.

And I’m pretty sure it’s coming from.

An indescribable energy is spreading from the boy who is only in his early teens.

This is pure living, not magic.

The spirit of this little boy was threatening enough to strangle him.

It was not a level that an ordinary child could reach.

Diane and others held their breath at the pressure from behind the helmet.

Seeing the subordinates who had been quiet for a while, Alberto sighed.

“Don’t be too mad, Alberto. I understand the minds of children. But, I didn’t come with you to threaten this kid.”

The head of the family sends a bitter smile to Alberto and the hunters.

At the head of the family, in the end, the hunters also take the sword.

“I apologize for being rude to our kids. It’s their job to keep me safe on my way to the mansion. Everyone just worked hard on their mission. Will you understand?”

“…….mansion?”

“I was very restless. I should start by introducing myself.”

Dang-ju, who came closer to Wood, bowed his body slightly.

He moves his gaze closer to Wood’s helmet.

In an instant, his subordinates almost reacted violently, but at the glance of Alberto, he immediately took action.

“I am the 22nd head of the Phoenix family, Gareth Allite Phoenix. This handsome bearded man is my assistant Alberto Cheros. And these are professional hunters belonging to our family.”

Again, Wood is sure he wasn’t wrong.

And I also understand that the head of the family in front of me, Gareth, was at eye level.

It’s probably an act of respect.

slavery. Even for Wood, who is still a child, it would be too much of an attitude.

Wood also changed his attitude towards Gareth.

At least he’s not someone who’s going to harm himself right now.

The blanket that this person probably had to give was also cozy.

Wood let go of his sharpness and slowly opened his mouth.

“……I am Udeu Galea.”

“I know it well. Because I’ve been keeping an eye on you.”

“Did you notice?”

“I first saw you a year ago. The first day… That’s right, the day you ripped off the Wyvern’s wings.”

This is Wood, who has been in Dreamland for two years.

There were countless battles with the Wyverns. Even if it wasn’t a year ago, the Wyvern was already a monster he had met more than 20 times.

However, the hunters who heard Gareth’s words roared all at once.

“What, what?!”

“A little boy like that… a Wyvern?!”

“No, it is possible!”

“-Keep quiet. The lord is speaking.”

“““……”””

At the attention Alberto heard again, the five of them shut their mouths.

But Gareth didn’t seem to care much about it.

Rather, Gareth, he would say now that he is in a world of his own.

“How thrilling it was when I tore the skin of Crescent Bear with my fingertips around the same time. Ah, the werewolf that was captured last month. The fight with him was also very cool. The way you ripped off the flesh… Haha, I’m so excited that I’m reviving my lost youth.”

Gareth continues to talk about Wood’s previous fights.

Whenever the defeated monster was mentioned one by one, the hunters showed an unbelievable reaction.

However, Wood would not feel any emotion.

To be honest, Gareth looked like a pervert.

Gareth, who has been breathing hot since before, must feel a lot of pressure for Wood. Had it not been for the helmet, the breath would have hit his cheek right away.

He also says that he is a lost youth, but Wood was still a young man.

“Well, in the end, this is the conclusion!”

Gareth brought his excited face closer to Wood.

Wood was terrified of the hot breath being transmitted.

“After a year of research and deliberation, I have finally made a decision. We, the Phoenix family, have decided to bring you here.”

Gareth nodded his head, saying, “Exactly, Hin has already been brought in.”

At the same time, he handed Alberto a piece of parchment and unfolded it.

It was a document stating that Wood took ownership.

…and it sure seems like it’s sold.

And at an unimaginable amount.

Numerous zeros were stamped on Udeu Galea’s transfer document.

That’s a lifetime-

No, maybe it’s the money that I can live without problems even if I live three more times.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

If all meals a day were solved only with light meals, 3 times and 10 times more would be possible.

So, what are you trying to do for yourself?

Even if it’s a skill, Wood can only kill monsters.

Of course, that alone is a huge advantage in this world. You can get a lot of commercial materials from monsters. That’s why there are national hunters whose business is hunting monsters.

But it was too much to say that he had bought himself with such a large sum of money just for that purpose.

First of all, they are the Phoenix family. It is a family of strong people called Naero in the country.

Right away, Wood knew.

Alberto, the throne of Gareth. He is a warrior with more power than Wood.

Even the Minotaur Wood faced today (to be honest, I wasn’t sure if it was today due to my vague notion of time), I’d be able to kill it with just one shot.

Even Gareth, the head of this Phonics… was more than that.

overflowing magic. The closer you get, the more unpredictable it becomes.

It was an area that Wood could not fathom.

In addition to that, there must be a significant number of fighters they are hiring like the hunters behind them.

Talent will overflow.

Did he notice that Wood was repeating his reasoning?

Gareth looked over Wood’s helmet with curious eyes.

“Did you think about what I bought you for? to spend this huge amount. Still, I think you probably won’t get it right.”

It didn’t sound like a sarcastic thing to Wood.

I’m saying this because Gareth himself knows it’s not normal.

Gareth shrugged his shoulders and looked as if Alberto had now given up.

Alberto then takes out an object that has been placed in the luggage compartment.

Shiny coats, shirts and pants.

It is a one-piece outfit, including other simple accessories and decorations.

It was indeed a luxurious look.

The style is probably the same as that worn by Gareth or Alberto.

Because there is a colorful phoenix mark on the top of the overcoat.

The mark was also the same as the mark engraved on the combat uniforms of the hunters now.

And Alberto-

“It’s yours. Udeu Galea.”

“Yeah?”

I handed them over to Wood.

Without knowing what Wood was talking about, Alberto forcibly gave Wood the clothes.

“Come on, let’s talk from here. Reaper’s Helm of Paradise Lost, Udeu Galea.”

Finally, to Wood, who was as bewildered as a child his age, Gareth took off his helmet and declared.

“I will accept you as an adopted child into our family.”

The scruffy boy who came out when he took off his helmet opens his eyes wide wondering what the hell this guy is talking about.

However, no matter how much he pitched, Gareth’s eyes were sincere.
