「See you again when we call you, Kang Seongje. At that time, we look forward to whatever you decide.」

"Wow, this bastard. Even though I haven't had a busy schedule with him for a long time, he easily fainted." Count Rubel's voice sounded very annoyed.
Fortunately, there were still healers who had not returned there, so they quickly checked his condition. Arthur was declared exhausted and Count Rubel's slap had knocked him out.
Count Rubel and Helena were asked to accompany the unconscious Arthur, while Adhitte, Dean and Kalypt continued to discuss the identity that Adhitte would use at the previous table. Kalypt had brought along a large number of notebooks.
The notebooks each had an A4 size with symbols of several kingdoms. However, Kalypt only handed over a note with a coin symbol. Only Dean and Kalypt knew which kingdom it was.
"Viper Kingdom? I had thought of going there before. However, I don't have enough contacts there and obviously can't help with new identities there." Dean explained the reason why he could only suggest Tryton Kingdom and Senova Empire as the countries for her new identity.
Kalypt shook his head. "You don't have to be related. Apparently in the Viper Kingdom, if you have a talent that can be used as show material, you can get a card for visits from abroad. However, this is the case for people who have never had an identity on the continent. Adhitte would automatically become a slave if he just entered. Therefore, show some strength and who knows, you might become a fighting actor or something."
Adhitte heard that and understood. She had an idea. "In that case, shouldn't I become a fighter in the gambling arena according to the place we're going to? Am I right, Guild Master?"
"You can call me Dean like the others." Dean was somewhat relaxed now.
Adhitte agreed. "Okay, Dean-ssi. Do you think it's right for me to be a fighter there?"
Dean thought for a while and wanted to ask for the document Kalypt was holding. Of course, his partner immediately handed it over. Dean read some of the contents there which were the requirements for resident registration.
"There's an age limit. If you don't register for twenty years but have parents in the Viper Kingdom, you will be called a commoner. Otherwise, you will be a slave. Beyond twenty years if there is no reasonable excuse, you automatically become a slave." Dean read the summary notes in the book.
Adhitte tried to think for a while. She opened her personal information. "Stats window."

'I forgotten my age again.'
Adhitte asked, "Are there many thousand-year-old people in the world? Because I am 1575 years old. Is that convincing enough to apply?"
"What?"
"Ms. Adhitte, could you clarify what you mean?"
Both men looked confused. Even Dean, who usually kept a straight face, reacted slightly to Adhitte's words.
Kalypt politely explained, "I don't think it will work, Miss. Because the longest lifespan of a human here is probably a hundred years. Even for beast people it is only twice the lifespan of an ordinary human. Unlike the elves or vampires."
Adhitte understood. She found another way. "In that case, I am 25 years old. Is it possible to become a fighter or what?"
Dean shook his head. "It'll be safer if you just enlist as a mercenary. You can enlist under the mercenary branch of my guild, then apply to transfer to the Viper Kingdom. It will automatically be banned from working under me, but at least you can qualify there. I don't know if you can still change countries or not."
"You should have suggested that earlier." Adhitte sighed at Dean's more reasonable suggestion.
It was just that Kalypt denied it. "The Viper Kingdom has banned outsiders from moving into the country unless it's just a casual visit as a tourist. That's because of the war for territory in New Free City, which is currently held by the Southern Region of the Marithus Kingdom."
What Kalypt said was true. The city was formed because of the citizens who fled. However, because of the licensing of land rights contested by the Marithus Kingdom and the Senova Empire, they became at war. Even the Garunam Kingdom as the original owner of the land did not want to interfere at all. Indeed, in the Viper Kingdom there is no empty land at all, but there could be a small town whose residents rebel and ask for independence. They didn't want that to happen.
"The only way is for me to infiltrate as a slave and continue to be a fighter in that gambling arena. I'm sure I'll be able to become an executive there." Adhitte came to a final conclusion.
Kalypt tried to explain again. "Miss, most slave girls will be sent to the brothel directly."
Adhitte grinned. "In that case, I'll just have to show my strength from the start. Right?"
Dean heard the conversation between the two and just shook his head. He didn't expect to get a new partner who was just as crazy now. His guild even contained strange people now.
"You need to be comparable to the strength of a Sword Master or Archmage circle of at least 7 first. Because it seems, you're still below that and some executive fighters are above that. Is it because of the world restriction that your transcendent power is limited here?" Kalypt again said a rather painful statement.
Just like Arthur, Kalypt was an extraordinary person who quickly figured out a person's characteristics. The two people seemed similar, both having crazy thoughts as if they knew someone's past and future. Dean couldn't get enough of those two people.
He just let Kalypt have a good discussion with Adhitte. In his mind, Dean wondered if what he was doing was good for his life or not.
Apparently Dean wasn't the only one who thought that way. Adhitte also became suspicious of Kalypt. "You're as weird as that skinny dry guy over there. Your guess is pretty accurate. Do you have a cursed bloodline or something again?"
Kalypt smiled politely and replied, "Of course not, ma'am. Being an information trader requires a high level of intelligence. These are my personal conclusions. I apologize if it offends you."
"You're a pretty good actor, huh." Adhitte complimented him because he clearly knew that Kalypt's friendly demeanor was fake, not really his friendly nature.
"Thank you for the compliment. I have indeed been an actor for the theater in the Kingdom of Marithus which is the summoning place for you." This time, Kalypt put his hand to his chest and bowed, as if to say thank you.
Adhitte was at a loss for words. Kalypt was too skillful. At least he was too competent and it would be a shame to be on the opposing side instead of theirs.
They continued to discuss the new identity. On the other hand, beside the mat where Count Rubel and Helena were side by side, the two of them were busy talking about their personal experiences.
Helena talked about her work as a hunter and a researcher. Count Rubel talked about his father who had left the household furniture and jewelry making business as his livelihood. Since Count Rubel was an only child, he took care of everything.
The two people were connected enough to discuss work matters. Moreover, Helena told him about her experience in finding quality gems. Count Rubel was interested to hear it because he didn't have a gem mine, only a place to process them.
"Actually, in the deep forest, there are many steep ravines and scary caves. However, there are actually hidden mines. These earrings of mine are made from diamonds I found in the cave." Helena showed me the ruby-colored earrings in her ears.
"That's pretty incredible. Did you make them yourself? It's so beautiful. It suits you very well too." Count Rubel took out his licking tongue again.
Unfortunately, Helena knew that. "I know that. Don't like me, okay? I don't like bastard men who like to stick to strong ones like you." She said in a teasing tone.
Count Rubel felt a little offended. He smiled unwillingly. "I do like older women, but not an old woman like you either. I like older human women."
Helena chuckled at that answer. No wonder Arthur had teased her to the point of being slapped. This man was quite temperamental towards people who were his partners.
At the end of the stairs leading upstairs, there was Cindy carrying a basin of water with a small towel. It seemed to be for Arthur because that man did look sick.
The girl walked carefully to the mattress. She felt shaky when she saw Count Rubel, the person who looked like Whigeris and also Helena, the vampire she was avoiding. The two people she was somewhat afraid of were gathered together.
Unfortunately, her foot tripped due to trembling. It was right near the mattress. She lost her balance and her hand accidentally threw the basin.
Splash!
