Episode 59

My request was simple.

He disguised himself as the son of a well-known merchant and entered Benderford.

I can’t spend my money on the operation.

It was natural to receive activity expenses from the family.

Originally, I should have been served through the eastern branch, where I belong, but the physical distance was too far for that.

So the method I chose was to have Faceless pick it up for me.

Since the head of the central branch has a slightly higher rate than Dusk, he should be able to earn enough money for his activities.

I looked at the half-masked man with eyes full of anticipation.

“Um…”

Faceless seemed to know well what kind of mission I entered Benderford.

Even though I cut the front and back and said it, you can understand it right away.

The central branch manager, who had moaned as if he was uncomfortable, nodded his head coolly.

“It’s an order given directly by the head of household, but support is natural. But a little…”

“Why is that?”

“It’s a strange feeling of being robbed. And what do you mean by asking for a lot when there’s a set activity fee?”

“That’s because my undercover status is a donation student. Shouldn’t the guy who came in as the son of a colossus be lax?”

“No, he’s still dressed well.”

“Who in the world carries out the operation with their own money. Does the branch manager do that?”

“That can’t be the case. I’m doing everything with activity expenses.”

“Look at that.”

“…”

I used invincible logic and correct words to subdue Faceless.

In the end, there was no choice but to accept the request.

Only then did the head of the central branch reveal the order that had come down to him and ask about my intentions.

“The head family didn’t set the exact cost for activities. They said to spend as much as necessary for the branch budget first and then claim it later.”

right! Did you know it would be like this?

I looked at Faceless with a meaningful look.

If I hadn’t charged the activity fee, they would have made a fart and reported it to the superiors, saying that I had solidified that much money.

He said that his foresight prevented unnecessary spending of funds.

Where would a person famous for living well go?

As if my gaze was burdensome, the central branch manager cleared his throat and urged an answer.

“So how much do you need?”

I replied with a rotten smile.

“How much is the Central Branch budget?”

“…”

Perhaps Faceless just felt certain.

Today I’m going to make a beggar of the Empire’s central branch.

who did it

Stealing is a big deal and cutting is the standard.

If you skip it frequently, you will be stepped on because of the long tail, and the level of punishment will increase.

However, if you eat a lot at once, the punishment is relatively weak because the number of crimes is small.

If you were going to steal anyway, being a big thief was an advantage even if you got caught.

Oh, of course, I didn’t mean to say that.

If you commit embezzlement within a terrifying squad of assassins, beheading won’t be enough.

‘Still, I can’t say anything about the luxury enjoyed legally.’

If money is a waste, you should have been put in as a recommended scholarship student, not a donation student in the first place.

Wasn’t it because it was easier to enter through the empire’s recommendation system and pay money to enter?

Then, of course, you have to pay the price.

I was able to steal part of the Imperial Central branch’s budget this quarter.

It was a considerable amount, but Faceless readily gave it away.

It seemed to have a lot more money than I thought.

After all, is it a branch located in Troben, the center of the economy?

With bills like this, he would probably get the best treatment anywhere in Troven.

Jinglang! Jinglang!

Of course, some were gold coins, so my pockets were full.

The sound of metal hitting each other resonated pleasantly.

“Now then, shall we do some work?”

It wasn’t just that he ventured out on the weekend to extort money for activities.

This is incidental, and for me the special mission that will go into the general evaluation was more important.

‘There must be something… … .’

The advanced class, which had been steadily training since childhood, was the same, but the basic class was just taking its first steps.

Even if the Eumswae Sword and the Belgard Training Technique were seasonal, there was no way they would be able to exert their power after only a few months of training.

In such a situation, to be the first overall evaluation and to fight the underlings of the seven bizarre monsters.

Even though the opponents were trembling, it was an unmistakable fact that it was dangerous.

I was about to find out why this mission was dropped based on the information I got from the Central Branch.

“But is it a true story at the level of information paper?”

But this wasn’t an easy task.

Initially, the Central Division set a goal and did not move on the Benderford Special Mission.

In other words, it was a story that you had to make a complete version by collecting fragmentary information.

I am the one who needs the information.

“Wow! It’s really going to turn around. I don’t want to do it, so what should I do with this?”

The central branch was where all sorts of intelligence gathered.

Even if the information was written for the inside of Troben right away, 100 million copies were easily passed over.

It was close to impossible to find just what you wanted in this vast flood of letters.

But I was able to come up with a solution soon.

When I saw an agent who just entered the information room, I flicked my finger and said.

“Hey, there you are.”

“Yes?”

“Are you busy?”

“This is the last piece of information to be sorted out.”

“Does that mean you’re off work?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Then let’s do one thing with me.”

“What… are you talking about?”

“It’s simple. You just need to find documents with a few keywords. Can you do it?”

“I’m not feeling very well these days, so I’m going to visit the clinic after finishing.”

The smart-looking informant bowed his head and made excuses.

But am I playing with that pun?

I know you make up nonsense because you don’t want to work. men and horses.

“If you do the job properly, I’ll give you 100 gerd.”

“You can bribe me with money… Yes?”

“If the job is tough, you can bring in your colleagues. They all promise the same pay. About ten?”

There were only level 3 agents whose main job was to deliver information sheets.

The lowest-ranking informant’s wages, no matter how high, would have been no more than a few gold coins.

The guy’s eyes widened when he called for money that was more than ten times his monthly salary.

“Is it really?”

“I’m a special agent. Is this bullshit?”

“Oh, no.”

“You’d better start as soon as possible? After midnight, we’ll cut the reward. 10 gerd per hour. How about it?”

Shih! rattle. Empty!

The third-class informant jumped out so quickly that he couldn’t even see it, and brought in a bunch of colleagues.

Before long, they began to categorize and collect information sheets according to the keywords I had chosen.

It was to the point where it looked like a sophisticated mechanical part.

‘As expected, it’s quicker and better?’

Donation students with a lot of money don’t do the work themselves.

Sprinkle the activity cost and grind it out with a tactic.

Perhaps because of ten people, the results of the information came out quickly.

“Here it is.”

“Nice job. Let’s see.”

I opened the information sheet newly written by the level 3 agents and read it through.

As expected, it contained only the information I wanted, like an information magazine written by well-educated guys from the central branch.

‘Was the special mission carried out by order of the emperor? I thought the vice president was just talking like a habit.’

Hall Sivas did not lie.

The subjugation mission was handed down by Emperor Reynolds himself.

But the root of the problem still existed.

Opposition to making students do dangerous things was bound to be heard from all over the place.

Because Brezhnev, one of the Seven Horrendous Zones, was a powerful druid nestled in the Deser Mountains.

Even with the powerful power of the empire, they are not easily subdued, so what are they going to do by taking the students?

However, I immediately nodded.

“Is that why you can send it?”

After reading through the information sheet, there was information that the core troops of the Empire had moved to the eastern part of the Deser Mountains.

Perhaps the chiefs and leaders of the tribes will be dealt with by them, and the students of the tribes will be in charge.

widely!

Covering the information sheet, I immediately came to a conclusion.

This subjugation mission was like a hunting lesson for the princes.

The beast indirectly educates its children… … .

Could it be an event of an imperial mind?

“It’s going to be fun. Just play with it in moderation.”

I thought there was another trap or something.

A black force trying to kill the princes, isn’t that common?

Finding it to be a fairly straightforward mission, I picked up a few copies of information about the tribes.

This time, it was the guys called Physics, but they were a fairly large Druid tribe.

After growing up to some extent, the desire for independence must have wriggled.

Frankly, it was unknown whether Brezhnev was willing to expand his power.

‘But voila, there is no such thing as an absolute. Actually, this was all a giant trap planned by the entire group of druids.’

It could be like this.

In any case, it seemed that the emperor was properly preparing for the campaign.

You won’t be able to defeat Brezhnev, who is stuck in the Deser Mountains, but you’ll be able to completely subdue the Physics tribe.

That much should be enough so the druids won’t be able to crawl out of the mountains.

I was about to stand up with the data, but I saw ten pairs of eyes looking up at me.

“These don’t go, what…… Oh, compensation money?”

“yep!”

“Come on, take it.”

Charleuk!

After distributing 100 gold coins worth 10 gald, the informants responded with an air of discipline.

“thank you!”

After all, money is the best thing to move people?

A whopping 1,000 gold coins were scattered and came out, but it was not a waste.

I smiled as I looked at the 3rd class agents who were happy and happy.

‘Can I use it next time? I’ll have to use it often.’

Disguised as Ray Carter again, I strolled leisurely through downtown Troben.

I received a lot of activity expenses, but shouldn’t I show a little bit of a donation student tee?

I became a telegraph (錢神) and started sweeping around the guild dealing in luxury items.

“Geuk! As expected, spending other people’s money is the most fun.”
