Return of the Archmage

Chapter 92

***

The atmosphere got cold.

I’ve given you the conditions that you can’t help but.

“7 to 3?”

“We’re not seven, we’re three?”

“Are you crazy?”

Naturally, contaminated areas are classified as disasters by country and are strictly controlled assets.

Although it is an untouchable radioactive place now, if it is possible to solve it, it has already been revealed that if such a day comes, the contaminated area will become a precious treasure complex buried by each country.

That’s a ridiculous demand for countries that think it’s buried money.

One of the spokespersons, who had no intention of listening, eventually raised his hand and demanded the right to speak.

“What?”

“Why are you asking for such unreasonable conditions? Didn’t China just ask for a chance to buy some of the land in the recovery area?”

It’s a question that everyone will be curious about.

Why do conditions extend similar to those of China and impose additional conditions to make them feel deprived?

No matter how reasonable the conditions are, if the contract is noticeably more damaging than the first contract, then those who sign the contract will feel dissatisfied.

However, even the first contract is full of good conditions.

You can sign a contract like that, but you’re going to take everything.

“It’s not a deal, it’s a one-sided plunder! Don’t you think you’re trying to take too much of a monopoly with a weapon?”

Shout out like an apostle of justice.

Other spokespersons nod their heads, too.

That’s not wrong.

There are no users in the world who do not make money by taking advantage of their advantages, but at least none of them risk their lives in the face of human threats.

If it were an ordinary user, it would be shaken.

But the opponent is Han Seo-young.

She is a woman who is capable enough to try to recruit Lee Hye-sung as a scout even in large guilds with a bright future, although she now has a thin presence separately from Lee Hye-sung.

She even took private lessons from Lee Hye-sung on her way here.

Nothing much, but a stronger mentality helped to control the flow of the atmosphere.

“It’s just the most basic condition. I told everyone that those who are fair and unconvinced can die. There is no change in any case, and in the case of China, there may be some difference from the terms of the deal as Lee Hye-sung offered the deal to China first.”

“…….”

“In countries concerned about the safety of their citizens, it is also very unpleasant to sign a contract quickly, and to try to exploit the power of users under the pretext of the safety of their citizens and the dignity of mankind without paying a fair price. I won’t have a crack-related contract with the country for the rest of my life.”

“……No.”

Lee Hye-sung told me.

If you can’t take power in your position, it’s not.

As soon as Eul complains about his demands, the relationship turns upside down.

Although he did not spend a long time together, Lee Hye-sung recalled the shamelessness that he had demanded from the user management headquarters.

That’s how you do it.

Where’s his conscience for giving up being a human being human.

You just have to be so brazen that you wonder if it existed from the beginning.

In fact, I was wondering if I could do it.

Everyone thinks so, but it won’t be easy because they’ve lived for decades.

But I realized by looking at the spokespersons.

Seeing the idea of seeing even a little more profitable without understanding the reality, clumsy shamelessness felt rather a luxury.

That’s why it was possible.

When I let go of my conscience, I felt what a true sense of power was.

None of the grouchy spokespersons now looked at her with a sulky look on their faces.

There was no look of disdain for being young or female.

A statement that you might feel is bluffing.

But no one was hasty in judging it was bluffing.

That’s what humans are.

It was a moment when Lee Hye-sung’s last words were finally understood.

A thrilling sensation penetrates the spine.

“Are you all willing to sign a contract? Those who are still here, yes. Shall we continue the story?”

With him arrives the reinforcements who will wedge in.

“This is Lee Hyun-hwa from User Management Headquarters. Can I talk to you alone for a moment?”

A conversation that runs far away while everyone is silent.

It’s a quiet distance for users who share but use mana.

I pretend I’m not and listen.

“Where is Hyesung now?”

“It’s in the contaminated area with Kang In-ho.”

“Are you really authorized?”

“So you’re here, aren’t you?”

“Then it would be better to tell Seo-young directly. The Korea User Management Headquarters says that Hye-sung doesn’t want to sign additional contracts.”

“There was no such provision in the contract?”

“I know, so I’m not forcing you. I’m asking you a favor. I’ll take all the conditions and if there’s anything else you need, I’ll do as you please. I’d like you to proceed with an exclusive contract with us.”

“Why? There are no pollution areas in Korea. I understand they’ve all been restored.”

“But it’s a problem from now on. I’m sure other countries are starting to notice, but the video that Hyesung is streaming, the monster that comes out there, is not a monster that can be seen at the beginning.”

“What?”

“I’m not sure because it’s a seven-level contamination area, but usually the weaker monsters are pushed towards the beginning and high-level monsters are distributed in the center, and in the video, high-level monsters are shown at the beginning. Not one, but two.”

“That’s…….”

“There could be a change.”

“Well, that’s a bit of a problem, though. I’ll go ahead and do it if there’s no condition I like.”

“Please.”

It was a short conversation, but the spokesperson heard through the interpreter could never be taken lightly.

“Check it out quickly.”

Hurry up and contact your country.

Conflict with him.

I didn’t care about that part.

What if the contaminated area is no longer a treasure trove, but a bomb that might explode?

No, no one can be sure that they won’t.

That’s what everyone thought before the crack brakes.

Increasing high-level cracks.

The more, the better.

If the level of users goes up later, I’ll be able to grow more and more quickly.

However, knowing that the more it builds, the more it becomes a bomb, the more it consumes the national budget to reduce the rift.

The same is true of contaminated areas.

It may turn out so.

Waiting for Han Seo-young who came back from the conversation.

What are the terms of the contract?

What else do you want?

But what Han Seo-young said was not what they wanted.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Come to think of it, I haven’t even been able to recover it yet, but starting with the contract could be a trick on many countries, so I think again…….”

“No! It’s all right!”

“Let’s sign a contract first, and if we don’t get it back, we can wait long enough!”

The people are in a hurry.

A smile was drawn around Han Seo-young’s mouth.

9.

“I’m sure you’re doing great.”

“What?”

“Outside. I was wondering if the contract went well.”

“Did you have to do that? And singing Hyeonhwa.”

“That’s the only way to snatch a pushover under dramatically good conditions. Tell your sister-in-law I’ll repay her later and thank her.”

“I felt like I was committing some kind of corruption.”

“That’s what life is all about. Ariel here once stole a year’s worth of donations from the church to feed our Knights as a saint.”

“…….”

“That’s it. You threatened to abandon me if you didn’t.”

“So it was your choice to steal.”

“Bad guy.”

A conversation about walking through a forest where light doesn’t penetrate.

Considering the level 7 contaminated area, these conversations are light, but the parties were never light.

“Come to think of it, I’m angry. Do you know how much I was scolded by the goddesses at that time?”

“I mean, how good it is to steal a year’s donation to God and get scolded.”

“You said you’d pay me back, so pay me back here.”

“Okay, I’ll buy you a lot of delicious food. I’m rich now.”

Kang In-ho was no longer impressed by such conversations.

Should I say I got used to it?

Now that I’ve been on the same boat and experienced this several times, I’m used to drawing.

It’s better than anything else.

Being bossy

Anyway, there’s no one who doesn’t like to live in the position of A.

Although it takes a little while to risk one’s life to complete the important good deed quest for him.

“Monster’s not coming out?”

“I guess it’s true to some extent?”

“It’s dangerous if it’s really like that.”

I remember the lie that I gave to Lee Hyun-hwa.

A hypothesis that everyone should try.

A plausible lie always works.

But I suddenly think that it might turn out to be a reality.

“If you’ve been in here for three hours and you don’t see a rat, you’re saying a lot of monsters here are dead, right?”

“Yes, no matter how large the area of pollution is and how many monsters survive the crack brakes.”

Monsters sense game by smell.

It means that there are no monsters that come out of the mountain range except for the tiger that I met at the beginning even though I walk for three hours without any camouflage.

“It could be easier than I thought.”

“I think I can overcharge my contract.”

“Right. I think the timing is telling us to make it happen.”

Lee Hye-sung and Ariel talking with a bright smile.

Only Kang In-ho is worried about reality.

“If that’s the case here and everything…….”

Lee Hye-sung soothes Kang In-ho.

“Come on, don’t worry. Don’t tell me you’re gonna walk around killing humans in one day like an unbridled coltil you die. I’ll just sit back and take a new seat.”

It may be.

I am not sure of one or the other.

So I stopped worrying.

This is because I felt that this is not the time to worry about an unstable future.

“Let’s focus on this.”

Mountain range where nothing happened for three hours.

Lee Hyesung wasn’t the only one who felt the change.

At some point, mana mixed in fog that is so thick that you can’t even see the person right next to you. It’s not a natural phenomenon, and the popularity that feels far away was never favorable.

“It’s going to be a tough fight.”

“…I feel about five things.”

“There’s a way.”

“What is it?”

Nevertheless, Kang In-ho still asks about his confident attitude.

Lee Hye-sung smirks and pulls out a holy sword and answers.

“I hope you’re not on the same level as a tiger.”

Then he lifts Mana up.

Whoosh!

In the fog, small flames began to burn.
