Chapter 29: Trap (3)
8.
For adventurers, party composition was crucial. Who would take on which role?
These roles were broadly divided into three categories: tank, dealer, and supporter.
Among these, the most unique position was that of the supporter.Explore new novels on novelbin(.)com
Fundamentally, supporters were mages.
They were those among mages who possessed the talent to cast support magic, such as healing and recovery spells.
However, in the world of mages, supporters were classified as an entirely different profession.
At the same time, supporters were treated differently within the adventurer community.
“Before embarking on an adventure, adventurers establish a priority order for who dies first in dangerous situations. Except for the supporter.”
Supporters received the most precious treatment within adventurer parties.
The reason was simple.
“After all, if the supporter dies, everyone dies.”
A supporter’s abilities were directly linked to the lives of their party members.
Therefore, adventurers went to great lengths to secure a supporter with exceptional abilities.
Dibo was no exception.
“Finally, the party is starting to feel like a real party!”
He initially rejoiced at the news of seeking a supporter.
‘I won’t have to die.’
From Dibo’s perspective, who always had to be at the forefront as a tank, the presence of a supporter was nothing short of reassuring.
At the same time, he was also filled with anticipation.
“Surely you’re referring to someone extraordinary if the boss remembers their name?”
El Paume would not bring an ordinary supporter.
“So where is this Ralph?”
Dibo, filled with anticipation, asked El Paume.
“Over there.”
Dibo pointed in the direction El Paume was indicating, and his brow furrowed in confusion.
“Isn’t that the Slums Ground?”
The Slums Ground.
It referred to a section of the northern part of the port city of Erebos, a place filled with all sorts of unpleasantries, as the term “slum” implied.
Of course, most cities had slums.
It was inevitable.
Kerning City had slums, and even the magical city of Ellinia had slums.
“Boss, isn’t that a dangerous place?”
However, Erebos’s Slums Ground was notorious even among such slums.
And for good reason.
As a port city, Erebos attracted adventurers from all over Victoria Island, not to mention Maple World.
Naturally, criminals also gathered, and as a result, the security and quality of life were worse than in any other slum.
Even seasoned adventurers rarely dared to set foot there.
“It could be dangerous.”
Of course, it was a danger that meant nothing to El Paume.
El Paume had already reached the 3rd Circle.
Moreover, El Paume was confident.
He believed that hunting adventurers was easier than hunting monsters.
“Don’t worry too much. I’m not going to cause trouble.”
Crucially, El Paume was not going to hunt someone.
Dibo let out an awkward chuckle at El Paume’s words.
“Who’s worried about the boss?”
Dibo wasn’t unaware of that either.
Right now, even Dibo wasn’t that afraid of the random criminal adventurers here.
‘I’m worried about taking a human from this place.’
The problem was that the adventurers here couldn’t be decent people.
‘Especially a Bishop.’
Moreover, the adventurer they were going to find this time was a Bishop, a support class.
These were the ones responsible for the party’s lives.
And yet, they were going to put a criminal in such an important position?
El Paume, knowing Dibo’s concern, said,
“He’s not a criminal.”
“Is that so?”
“He just likes money.”
“Huh?”
El Paume didn’t elaborate further to Dibo’s surprise.
He simply took a step.
And so, El Paume visited the gambling dens that overflowed throughout the slums of Erebos.
And soon, El Paume arrived.
“I found him.”
The one he had been searching for.
At those words, Dibo, who had suffered quite a bit following El Paume, said with a smile,
“Who is it?”
“Over there.”
Dibo, turning his head at El Paume’s words, tilted his head in confusion.
“Hey? There’s nothing but big, brute-looking bear-like humans over there!”
“Soon?”
From the listener’s perspective, such words held no weight.
“Against the Gafor Merchant Union? Are you crazy for that money?”
That was usually the case.
However, El Paume understood.
The man before him was someone who had become a follower of the Black Mage and fought against Mikhail, the Grand Master of the Cygnus Knights, for money.
That was no ordinary feat.
Most sane people wouldn’t fight Mikhail, the Grand Master of the Cygnus Knights, even for 100 million mesos.
That’s how much Ralph was obsessed with money.
For someone like him, the bait of 10 million mesos was enough to make his heart race.
“That’s an interesting proposition.”
Just then,
“Mr. El Paume, I see you’re here. Excuse me for a moment.”
An uninvited guest appeared between El Paume and Ralph.
“I’m Bayz from the Kania Guild. I’m here to make an offer to Mr. El Paume.”
10.
“I’m Bayz from the Kania Guild.”
Upon hearing those words, Dibo and Ralph were simultaneously surprised.
They couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘Bayz? Isn’t he Ibok’s left-hand man, the guild master of the Kania Guild?’
This was a name that anyone living in the port city of Erebos would know.
Of course, El Paume was different.
“I’m here to make an offer to join the Kania Guild.”
The moment he heard that, El Paume thought,
‘This is a trap.’
The Kania Guild.
El Paume knew them well.
‘Followers of the Black Mage.’
He knew what kind of people they were.
In fact, El Paume had already been aware that the Kania Guild had been following him.
It couldn’t be helped.
He had visited twelve gambling dens in the slums of Erebos.
If he couldn’t notice the tail that was following him after visiting so many places, El Paume would never have become the Last Adventurer.
Of course, the fact that the Kania Guild was making an offer to join them was unexpected by El Paume.
But he could understand their intentions.
‘They’ve come here after understanding my situation.’
From the Kania Guild’s perspective, who needed to somehow lure El Paume in, the situation of him haggling with Ralph must have looked appealing.
In El Paume’s position, where he was losing the negotiation, he couldn’t help but welcome the appearance of the Kania Guild.
“So you’re here to make an offer to join?”
“I’ve heard that you’re asking for a deposit of 10 million mesos from the Gafor Merchant Union.”
It was a tempting offer.
“Will you give it to me?”
However, the Kania Guild wasn’t stupid enough to actually give him 10 million mesos.
“We’ll give it to you if you pass a test.”
As mentioned before, the Kania Guild simply wanted to take advantage of the situation.
But Ralph, unaware of this fact, was different.
Ralph’s eyes changed.
‘Could it be real?’
El Paume’s 10 million mesos no longer sounded like a bluff.
The condition was to pass a test, but the fact remained that a large sum of money was at stake.
This was a good opportunity for El Paume.
‘Ralph has already made up his mind.’
The money-obsessed man would now give El Paume’s offer the okay without any hesitation.
Of course, El Paume knew.
“A test?”
‘It must be a trap.’
He knew that the Kania Guild had no intention of actually giving him a deposit of 10 million mesos.
Bayz said to El Paume, who was skeptical,
“There is a Mystic Gate. The rank is orange. There are three scratches.”
The moment they heard that, Dibo and Ralph had the same thought.
It wasn’t a bad place for a test.
The orange rank was the optimal rank for El Paume, a 3-circle adventurer.
Also, three scratches were not a small number, but it was an appropriate number to check his skills.
In other words, it didn’t smell like a trap at all.
El Paume’s thoughts were the same.
He couldn’t tell if it was a trap or not just from this.
So, more information was needed.
“Where is the Mystic Gate?”
To that question, Bayz said,
“It’s in Henesys.”
At that moment, El Paume could recall a memory from his past.
‘Could it be that Mystic Gate with a hundred scratches?’
