Dragon Order of Flame

Volume 2

Chapter 6 Part 2

It was common sense that monsters were hostile towards humans, but this wasn't the case for everyone. Amongst humans, there were people who suffered from other humans which was no different from monsters.

Thieves were such existences. When one suffers from either a human or a monster, in the end, isn't it all the same?

Therefore, there are times when malicious organizations are created. Such as the Balan bandits; Humans and Orcs formed an alliance to loot, kidnap, traffic humans, etc.

Volkar asked.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

While Luke was mixing in with the mercenaries and soldiers, and inspecting his items, Volkar asked a weird question. When Luke asked back as if Volkar was crazy, a soldier stared at Luke thinking Luke had spoken to him. Luke became startled, looked away, and moved towards the back.

"That is because it won't take up too much of my time and it pays pretty well. I didn't join just because they said they were going to give special treatment to gangchesul pract.i.tioners."

Luke responded back as if he was confused.

It's been half a month since Luke had fought with the Count and left on his journey.

After the fight with the Count, he had healed himself overnight at a nearby temple, then continued to polish his physical body and gangchesul.

At first, Luke was thinking of purchasing a horse with the money that was given by the Count's wife, but changed his mind immediately after. He figured it would be better training to utilize his wind step technique and just walk during the journey. Currently, when Luke utilized the wind step technique, he was faster than the average person by 30 minutes, even if they were to run with all their worth. In that manner, he walked several miles every day and quickly got further away from the Astal territory.

And, after pa.s.sing Hog Viscount's territory (which neighbored Count Astal's territory), Luke arrived at Nadal Viscount's territory. The moment he arrived, he heard about the evil Batlan bandits being in the vicinity, and that two towns had already been plundered by them. Viscount Nadal was in a rush to gather people together for a subjugation quest, and because he was lacking military strength, he was recruiting mercenaries to join. Especially towards mages and gangchesul pract.i.tioners, Viscount Nadal promised great rewards, and that was how Luke had ended up joining in the cause at its final stages.

"I thought you said I needed money in order to learn magic? If I don't do something like this, how do you expect to make money? Should I settle down somewhere and start up a business?"

Luke felt irritated.

He had information regarding the future, and it seemed like he would easily be able to make money. But, this was not the case. Luke had not been interested in worldly events, so he did not know of any way to earn money quickly and easily. Not only that, but he's also never run a business before, so he wasn't sure if it was even possible to make money through it.

This led to him doing what he did best, and that was to fight. Although he was able to receive 30,0000 reb from the Count's wife, it wasn't that much money. Of course, if this money was given to a normal family, they would be able to live without working for 2-3 years, but Luke was different. He had to buy many expensive ingredients in order to perfect his gangchesul, and even more expensive ingredients to help him learn magic.

With slight hesitation, Volkar asked.

"Of course, it's hard. You've traveled the world before, so you should have some experience in it, right?"

"How? Did you carry some treasures around with you when you left your nest?"

"There's no way. When one thinks of a dragon's nest, aren't there usually mountains of gold and treasures stored in it?"

"It's regretful that it wasn't big and beautiful. But I had thought that your secret storage was kept somewhere else, but you're saying that wasn't the case?"

"Then how have you never had issues with not having money? Did another dragon help solve those issues for you?"

"What?"
