In the deep night, a man in an old-fas.h.i.+oned mansion banged on his desk! It was the residence of Aidan, who was most likely to be the next merchant king of Fortren .  His anger burst out as he heard the report of the soldier in front of him .

“What are you doing?!”

“S-Sorry!”

The soldier who was Helena’s guard repeatedly apologized but he didn’t protect her . He didn’t properly do the job he was paid to do .

“Get out of my sight . There will be no paycheck this month . ”

“B-But . . . ”

“Is anyone outside?” A soldier outside burst into the room .  Aidan pointed to the man in front of him .  “Remove this guy!”

“Yes!”

“N-No! Please let it slide just this once! Lord Aidan! My family is starving . . . ! Please forgive me!”

The soldier in front of Aidan grabbed his trouser legs and hung from them .  Aidan pushed him away and the man in front of him was dragged away by the other soldiers .  Once the door closed, Aidan frowned and shook his pants .  “Tsk . The people from Garbage Village . . . ”

The soldier was from Garbage Village like Helena .  That’s why he was hired . Everything was a stepping stone to win Helena’s heart .  If he did this, she might gradually open her heart and give her body to him one day .  Aidan wanted to get her heart completely .

However, was it due to her origins? She kept wandering around outside .  If he knew it would be like this, he should’ve used tracking magic . . .

“Wait, Garbage Village? Garbage Village . . . ”

Helena was from Garbage Village and her filial piety toward her blind father was extreme .  She was sold for 300 seok of rice but she didn’t blame her father .  It was because she was very filial . Maybe she would sneak back to her hometown .  A few days ago, the paparazzi hired to investigate Helena said he couldn’t find any clues .

“Yes, this is it . The previous matter hadn’t made sense . Maybe she will be there . ”

This would explain why she kept sneaking away from the house .  Perhaps she had gone to see her father .  Aidan opened the door and found a soldier .  “Attendant! Where are you?”

“Yes, I’m here!”

“Gather the soldiers right now . ”

“How many people do you want?”

“Um . . . ”

The residents of Garbage Village made up the largest population around Fortren .  The poor people had a variety of skills to parasitize the rich but they were extremely thin and had weak strength because they didn't have enough to eat .  Still, the number was quite high so it would take 2,000 people to threaten them .

“2,000 people . No, add 500 more . ”

"Yes! I understand . ”

The soldier moved away and Aidan had a distinctive wicked smile .

“Helena, I will make you mine . ”

In a bustling downtown area full of romantic lights . . .

It was the continent’s largest trading city, Fortren .  There was a beautiful woman with a large watercolor painting by her side .  Mido walked proudly while feeling the gazes from the surroundings .

‘Everyone has eyes . ’

Now she was heading to what was called the largest auction house on the continent .  In fact, if she wanted to sell a painting, she could sell it to the men around her .  However, her pride wouldn’t allow it .  She wanted to sell the painting to someone who knew the artistic value .  Of course, no such person has appeared yet .

“Uh, Mido . Over here!” Someone waved to her .  There were several people, not just one .  They were all executives of Icarus .  She was the only woman in the guild .

“It has been a while, Oppa . You’re all on vacation?”

“Have you already heard? News travels fast . ”

The one who spoke was Park Taehyeong, who was in the guild as a fighter cla.s.s .

Following his words, the guild leader, a paladin cla.s.s who was in charge of tanking and fighting, Kim Hyeonu spoke, “It is because words leak from your mouth faster than a horse . ”

“Well, it’s true . By the way, did I hear correctly? The first place prize in the Colosseum this time . ”

It was Eun Jeonghyeok who answered Park Taehyeong’s question . He had a magic archer cla.s.s who used light to fight . “It is true .  I received information that a Star Fruit will appear . ”

“No, I mean, is it reliable? Where did you get this information?”

This time, it was Kim Hyeonu who spoke, “Argos’ Eyes . ”

“What? You received information from that veiled secret organization?”

“Yes, I paid a lot of money and it is solid information . ”

“I can’t trust them . All their ident.i.ties are unknown . What makes you trust them?”

“They are quite popular among high-level users . They are a bit expensive but they’re information is definitely true . ”

Argos’ Eyes—Mido had also heard this name .  In Greek mythology, Argos was a giant with 100 eyes on its entire body .  The group’s symbol was an arm covered in strange eyes and it seemed to be saying that no one could escape their eyes .  They were all anonymous and their ident.i.ties were also veiled, but she heard that work was as good as their expensive price .

Mido opened her mouth, “If it is Argos’ Eyes then it must be certain . I’ve heard rumors about them . Don’t worry too much, Taehyeong oppa . ” 

“Cough . Yes . It is as you say, Mido . ”

“In any case, we should go inside before the auction starts . I have to register my item so I have to go in early . ”

Park Taehyeong dug at one ear .  “Ah, really . It will be like last time and no one will buy it . . .  eek!”

Kim Hyeonu elbowed Park Taehyeong’s side with an elbow .  However, Mido heard it all .

“Bah! I hate Taehyeong oppa!”

Mido stomped into the auction house .  The group had no choice but to follow .

Around this time, we were preparing to leave the village .  I was forced to accept the quest . Fortunately, it was still night and no reporters were set up here yet .  Nevertheless, I wasn’t certain so I asked Joseph to scout around .  His camera was an universal camera with infrared perspective .  It detected heat so those in stealth could be noticed .  Finally, Joseph returned .  “Fortunately, there are no reporters . ”

“Um, yes . ”

Altogether, I would be heading to Garbage Village with Kim Sujeong, Joseph, Kis and Helena, and last but not least, Drain .  Including me, it was a total of six people .  Gyeonso Dragon had blocked whispers to focus on training and couldn’t be reached .  Well, we were going to meet in Fortren so it didn’t matter .  Meanwhile, Kerenos . . .

“Snoooooore—! Puuuu . . . . ”

His snoring was really bad .  This was the first time I had seen a person snoring so badly like this .  I approached the man lying in the chair and slapped him on the face .  “You rascal . ” 

“Um . . . Um . My money . . . ”

“Wake up!” 

Slap, slap .

“Pay back the money . . .  Umm ummm . ”

He must’ve felt unfair that his money was robbed .  How serious must it be for him to dream about it? He didn’t wake up even after a slap . It seemed it would take a while for him to wake up .  I was forced to give up .  “Let's go by ourselves . ”

“Why did he drink so much? He can’t even drink . ”

Kim Sujeong smiled and slapped his cheek .  She giggled and it looked like she wanted to hit him again .  However, the vice-captain Becker was staring .

"Oh my . What a surprise .  Haha . . .  It is hard on you . ” Sujeong's voice became lower as she stepped back .

I approached Becker .  He would be temporarily taking care of this place while I was absent .  I couldn’t help it since Kerenos was currently in this state .  “Becker, please watch the villagers . ”

“Don't worry, I will keep them safe . ”

“Yes, I trust you . ”

I patted him a few times on his shoulder .  My request to him was to prevent the villagers from talking about my ident.i.ty .  The soldiers were still blocking and controlling the entrance but the village was completed and people would enter tomorrow morning .  I couldn’t keep blocking it like before .  There was no way but to keep the villagers from talking .

“Be careful . ”

He bowed his head and I led the group out of the village .  Tonight was a full moon .  Only the sound of footsteps was heard on the gra.s.s . Perhaps she was feeling uneasy but Kim Sujeong approached and held out her fist .

“It has been a long time . Shall we open the star cl.u.s.ter?” 

“Okay . ”

I smiled and touched her fist and the star cl.u.s.ter opened .

Ttiring~

[You have connected to the star cl.u.s.ter, ‘Nepomuk Cathedral . ’]

I entered a star cl.u.s.ter after a long time .  Prometheus had fallen asleep but fortunately, I was still able to enter .  Then Camille’s message came straight away .

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is greeting you . ]

“It has been a long time, Camille . ” 

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ says she knows the situation . ]

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ wants to save the people of Garbage Village . ]

Her determination could be seen from this message .  She was a member of the Seven Chivalrous Stars and was full of righteousness .

“Yes, let’s do our best . ”

I nodded and another message came .  This time, it was a bit different from the previous one .

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is amazed!]

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ says an ugly orc is next to the sleeping Prometheus!]

Ah, come to think of it, Mudur was in the Star Coffee House .  Mudur probably wasn’t seen the last time I entered the star cl.u.s.ter because he was trying to discover the end of the Star Coffee House .  Then Mudur’s voice was heard .

[Grruk . Who is this little girl?]

s.h.i.+t .  It looked like they b.u.mped into each other .

“Father, did you see the message just now? An ugly . . . orc?”

[Chwik .  Daring to say that I’m ugly . I will tear your limbs off . By the way, who is this noisy little girl? Hey, old man . ]

The questions were asked at the same time so I didn’t know where to start .  I spoke to Kim Sujeong in front of me .  In fact, I had kept it a secret from her so it was right to tell her first .  “Cough .  The truth is . . . ”

[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is preparing for battle!]

Eh? s.h.i.+t? They couldn’t do this .

It was unclear who would win if the two of them fought .  Mudur hadn’t partic.i.p.ated in the Ranking War but he had the power to surpa.s.s the first-grade .

“H-Hey . Stop! Camille!”

[How interesting . It seems you want to fight with me . Do I look so easy? I am the emperor of the great orc empire, Leica . . . ]

“T-These rotten people . . . !”

I made a decision .
