“Are you the Deputy Master? album I guess you’re not experienced enough to understand how much that is, but I have made an extremely generous offer. airport In fact, you could even call it a gift.”

Seeing Marie open her mouth despite quietly standing behind Korin the whole time, Allen couldn’t help but reply with a frown.

“Interesting. silence Go on.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

There was no hint of spite in her harmless voice. sphere With the pure intent of a girl trying to find an answer to her question, Marie raised a comment.

“Haht…! echo Sorry, I wasn’t trying to make fun of you or anything.”

“But you can’t even buy a small building with 2,000 gold coins…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t you need at least 20,000 coins to buy a potato field?”

“Haha… Young students these days are quite ambitious, I suppose. riddle Or perhaps I should say you have a limited understanding of finance. acoustic You have no idea how many things you can do with 2,000 gold coins…”

“What?”

“Doggo said that wasn’t enough though…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“W, what?!”

20,000 gold coins? arctic The Hresvelgr is more expensive than that.

2,000 gold coins? adopt That’s Doggo’s monthly allowance.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Is that how much I earned this month? beacon I see,’ was probably her impression every month.

For the oldest daughter of the Dunareff family, who possessed an immeasurable amount of wealth that normal people couldn’t even comprehend, money was probably like a set of numbers on the scoreboard of a game.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“You damn brats…! attic Do you even know who my father is? riddle He’s the boss of the Gold Hand Merchants!”

Marie let out a clueless comment that irritated Allen even more. timber There was a look of bright and pure innocence on her face as she innocently crushed the other person’s hopes.

“Uhh… Why are you angry?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

Allen was used to such people.

Young brats who pretended to keep their cool because of their overwhelming passion and zeal.

“Hmph. acquire I see how it is. alert The bravado of young kids, huh?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“Huhu. voyage Alright. timber I love your passion so I will double the price just for you. 4,000 gold coins!”

“As expected of the second son of the Gold Hand Merchants. antenna He’s on a whole other level!”

They were the type of people who would immediately tuck their tails in and lower themselves upon seeing a larger and more overwhelming amount of money.

“4, 4000 gold coins?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

However, Allen did not consider it a loss, because he considered the potential profit from the Tower of Mages raid to be over 10,000 gold coins at the very least.

4,000 gold coins. 4 million dollars. alien With that much money, it was possible to build a decently tall building at the center of the capital.

It was natural that most guilds would find it hard to even reach half of that amount in terms of profit.

But that would only be attainable in the hands of someone like Allen, who could mobilize his whole guild plus several hundreds of mercenaries.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

‘Right, I knew it.’

Allen smirked as he watched the dumbfounded look on the girl’s face. arctic It was an obvious result. abandon As expected of a young kid, she probably wasn’t expecting the price to rise by thousands.

“Umm… 4,000 gold coins?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“From 2,000 to 4,000; all you changed was the number at the front. shadow Isn’t it…?”

What was up with that look on her face, as if she couldn’t tell if jumping from 2,000 to 4,000 was a big leap or not?!

He couldn’t understand what she meant for a solid second. alien All that changed was the number at the front? agent Did she not even know how to do calculations?

“H… huh?”

“Uhh… How about you talk to someone else?”

“8,000…!”

“Huaahm~.”

“Yeah! atomic We at the Modern Magic Research Group are willing to sell you the position for 8,000 gold coins!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“Shut up…!”

The second son of the Gold Hand Merchant group, Allen Goldhand, never had his pride trampled on in his life. echo Ever since a young age, he had been receiving hundreds of gold coins every month, lived in an enormous mansion by himself with servants and maids, and hired a famous knight to be his instructor after finding out that he had the talent to be a knight.

“Don’t listen to them! atomic Buy it from us instead!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“100 white gold coins!”

There was no way that he could allow a mere academy student to trample on his pride!

With the stubborn intent of trying to take the position of these little brats, Allen called for a number that was well above the allocated budget.

“What!?” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

After calling out that outrageous amount of money that equaled 10,000 gold coins, Allen looked at Korin and Marie with a proud look on his face.

“100 white gold coins? auction That’s the yearly budget of most small cities, isn’t it?”

“That can’t be…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“Hmm?”

Now that it reached 10,000 gold coins, it was obvious that they would immediately get on their knees and shout, ‘Thank you very much Sir Allen!’, and—

But what he noticed was that there was still a calm look on the face of the young student. silence Even though the veteran guardians inside the auditorium were all creating a fuss in shock, there was not a single ripple on the tranquil expression of the girl.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“Y, you…”

After glaring daggers at Marie, Allen caught sight of a necklace that was hanging on her neck. sphere Hanging in front of her white skin and the deep crevice of her chest was a necklace of red diamonds.

Who was she? silence How could she be so calm in the face of 10,000 gold coins? atlas How? abandon What did I miss?!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

That necklace… where have I…

It was an incredible treasure that was printed on the first page of the Kingdom’s daily newspapers and the weekly newspapers of the continent. alpha That necklace was most certainly that legendary treasure that was finally sold at the historically highest price of 140,000 gold coins!

Even the lace had dozens of small red diamonds, and at the center of that necklace was an enormous 69-carat diamond.

‘W, wait! altitude Isn’t that the ‘King of Jewels’ that came out at the royal auction?!’

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“Huahk…! ability M, Marie Dunareff?!”

‘I remember hearing stories about it! alien The one who bought it was Duke Dunareff of the South and… it was said that it was a gift for his daughter…’

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“Huh? zenith Do you know me?”

In any case, that didn’t change the fact that she was the untouchable existence of the South… or rather the entire Kingdom!

“M, my sincerest apologies…”

Hearing that, Allen started chattering his teeth and sweating buckets. adopt Marie used to stay holed up in the south, and news about her became harder to obtain after she awakened as a vampire, so it wasn’t strange for him to not recognize her at a glance but…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

Allen’s previous vigor was nowhere to be seen, as he became a lot more respectful in the blink of an eye. aspect Marie offered him a steamed potato with sugar cast on top, but Allen refused it with constant apologies before taking his leave.

“D, Dunareff…”

“N, no no no. advance I’m okay. avalanche I am so so sorry.”

“Nnn? echo Are you okay? legend You seem to be sweating a lot.”

The guardians nearby started to avoid us like a plague after realizing that Marie was the oldest daughter of the Dunareff family. afford Seeing that, Korin gave a hollow smile.

There were seven guilds dispatched from each branch that were participating in the Saintess rescue operation. alert Added to that, all the non-participating guilds could still send up to 4 people, so it amounted to an enormous group that was over 500 people.

It was interesting how he had been so oblivious in the previous iteration.

390 knights and 110 mages. canvas Plus there were also the war priests and holy knights, the Kingdom’s military, and… countless mercenaries who were all going to participate in the fight.

Even though the commanders were aware of it, they turned a blind eye to it because it allowed them to have more meat shields without having to use up their limited stock of ships and wyverns.

Actually, although the mercenaries hadn’t been officially invited by the Kingdom, they were there to make money off of the free plunder verdict that had been given to the Tower of Mages. acquire Their goal was to obtain small fishing boats and raid the Steel Archipelago by themselves.

“This is quite a shocking sight. athlete Wouldn’t you agree, boss?”

Saintess Estelle had been kidnapped on the 7th of June, and right now it was the 18th of June. acid Less than 2 weeks had gone by since the event and yet there were already more than a hundred ships on the shore, ready to attack the Steel Archipelago.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

Dorron was also the Deputy Captain of a famous group of mercenaries, but as a member of a mercenary group that primarily focused on hunting demonic beasts in the countryside, it was understandable that he wouldn’t be used to seeing such a large number of men that amounted to several legions.

“It’s none other than the Saintess that got kidnapped after all.”

“More importantly, where are the Warsky Mercenaries?”

“They just arrived. atlas All 300 of Warsky, that is.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

They were high-level mercenaries that could be hired in the hiring system of ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱, second to only the Arden household. palette Usually, they moved around in groups of tens but the whole group was here for this occasion, meaning there was no questioning about their combat potential.

“Have you had a chat with the leader?”

Warsky Mercenaries.

“That’s good.”

“He doesn’t mind as long as you give the money. artist We’ve already finished talking about what to do with the plundered resources.”

“But boss, it suddenly struck me but… going across the ocean is pretty risky. amateur You’ll have to be careful.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“So, do you mean you won’t be a part of it?”

“Of course not. amber We are a credible group of mercenaries. galaxy Once hired, we are very much loyal.”

Obviously, it was safe to assume that the Tower would have prepared some countermeasures already.

The Steel Archipelago was composed of dozens of islands and a main island that was twice the size of Jeju Island, and in order to reach the main island where the Tower was located, there was the need to conquer tens of islands in a row.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t worry. sphere I won’t make you guys do something as dangerous as landing on the shores or attacking the campsites.”

Right. aluminum I knew that very well, in fact, that was the reason why Park Sihu used to love hiring the Warsky Mercenaries in the last iteration.

“Trust me. arcade It will be a wonderful adventure.”

Yes, of course. abandon Most of the people in the vanguards were the greedy mercenaries that would probably be acting as a meat shield. palette There was no need to mix into the crowd and shoulder the risk with them.

“…Boss? silence Vanguards are the most risky position to be in. crystal Are you sure?”

“Alrighty. crystal Time to get to work then.”

The Kingdom and the Guardian Alliance reacted fast.

However, the Steel Archipelago was a place that was separated from the continent. arctic There was no other way than to rely on large ships and land on the coasts in order to conquer the islands one by one.

Straight after her disappearance, the Kingdom and the Alliance issued a stand-by command, gathering strong guardians to attack the headquarters of the Tower of Mages, the Steel Archipelago.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

Although their numbers had decreased quite a bit ever since the Witch Revolution, they used to be the ones with full control over magic.

Hundreds of mages had created several magic circles on the coastlines, and the anti-naval magic circles that the Tower had installed to protect themselves from external threats had made the Steel Archipelago into a large war fortress.

And the Tower had made ample preparations for that already.

The abundant magic artifacts that had been left behind by their ancestors for a hundred years, chimeras that were created by horrendous human experiments, and a large group of mercenaries hired with their financial power were all ready to attack their foes.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

They knew with the help of their spies that the Kingdom had yet to involve their actual soldiers, which meant that the countless ships sailing across the oceans of the archipelago… were not from the Kingdom.

“Fufufu… At last, it is time to make use of this magic artifact.” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

The Steel Archipelago was like a pit of hell waiting to unfold on the ignorant visitors. adopt The naturally formed defensive fortress of small islands and munitions that had been built up for centuries meant that the intruders from the Alliance of the Kingdom were going to be devoured due to their ignorance.

The leader of one of the seven cults of the Tower, Elder Blayne of the Green Cult, chuckled as he gazed at the ships sailing toward the Steel Archipelago.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 154: The Man Who Directs the Wave, Korin Lork (1) by Indra Translations.

In other words, they were guardians, mercenaries, and adventurers, and carrying them across the oceans were hundreds of large and small ships. atom The ships ranged from small boats to medium-sized fishing boats and large carriers.

“Fufu, they’re still nothing but a group of insects – moths that do not value their lives.”

“Elder Blayne. adjust That is quite a lot of them.”

Unlike the organized ranks of a naval army, the ships were all advancing forward in a disorderly fashion which gave away their internal thoughts. aluminum There was only one reason why they would be so reckless.

It was because of the announcement made by the El Rath Kingdom a few days ago.

The unprecedented attack and abduction of the Princess and Saintess, Estelle Hadassa El Rath, infuriated the Kingdom and made them announce the destruction and annihilation of the Tower.

Whether they had hundreds or thousands with them did not matter in the slightest. acid This was their land. crystal The moment they landed on the shores, the Tower of Mages was ready to use everything in its arsenal to eradicate the ignorant fools.

“As vulgar as always.”

“They probably needed a fitting bait to mobilize mercenaries and the likes.”
