The Goblin'S Leveling System
chapter 14: Merchant Guild

We are at the entrance of the Merchant Guild.

We entered it and we found many merchants buying and selling their items such as food, armor, weapons, and sometimes artifacts but most of them were F or E rank artifacts.

We went to meet the guild owner and he is a forties and regardless of his age, I can feel that he is not an ordinary person.

She was wearing white formal attire with a black bow tie around her neck. She wears sleek black pants that fit her well and pairs them with black leather shoes.

She has black hair but has little white hair and may be due to her age or may be stressed.

Guilds had no security but since no robberies had occurred then the guild master had to have some shadow guards or guild master himself securing or guarding the loot.

The guild master was probably at least as strong as the guild leader in the adventurer guild. If I use my experience to determine the guild master's choice or weapon then it must be a sword because he can detect slight changes in the surroundings like the time where I used my [Shadow Move] skill to change the order of shadows in space..

He noticed a strange shadow change even though I only moved the shadow by only one centimeter. He must have gone through a lot of training to achieve perfection in detection.

If I go up against the guild chairman of the merchant union then I can defeat him in one hit.

I did not defeat the dragon king for anything. It would be a shame for the dragon king if the one who defeated him was defeated by an ordinary human.

We handed over our items to the union chairman and he checked them for a while before he made sure that it was not a fake item because it often happened every time they bought an item sold by such foreigners our.

A group of bandits stormed the guild in broad daylight which meant they had nothing to fear from being captured. I expected that there would be bandits storming here due to the lack of security, but I didn't expect it to be that fast.

My teammates started to prepare their weapons, put on a fighting stance and started attacking the bandits but I gestured for them to stop because I wanted to watch the guild master fight.

If I see him fighting the bandits then I can gauge how strong he is.

Even if he's strong, he can't be stronger than me and I'm sure of that. The guild leader attacked himself against the bandit group and he raised a sword made of mana.

The guild master used a blue mana sword, cast a magic that strengthened his magic power, and slashed the sword into one of the bandits that killed the bandits in one blow, splitting the bandits in two.

"Don't we have to arrest them instead of killing them? We can still torture them afterwards to make them leak information about who hired them.", I asked the head of the merchant union.

"You're young so you can't understand this cruel world. Do you think they won't kill themselves after we catch them?",

The guild master answered my question while swinging his sword at the other bandits who cut the bandits in half, killing the bandits in the process.

I activated my killing intent and the atmosphere of the merchant guild started to become uncomfortable as I unleashed my intense killing intent.

The guild chairman and the bandits were shocked by the intensity of my killing intent and they thought that I would not reach such a level if I did not kill many people.

"I mean, we're too good to let them die quickly... Shouldn't we at least make them suffer and suffer a painful death?!",

I replied to the guild master with a big smile, but it became creepy and scary as I let go of my killing intent.

My smile could be interpreted as a killer who was enjoying torturing his victims. I have lived in a cruel world since I was a genius so it was impossible for me not to meet many people who wanted to kill me.

'This kid... I wasn't that cruel at his age... He must have suffered more than what I experienced in the past.', The guild master thought to himself.

"Who is this boy!!! He could be seen as a monster that was happy to torture his victims!!! We are not paid to face monsters like him!!!",

one of the bandits cried out in fear after experiencing my killing intent. I used the [Shadow Monarch Domain] and the room suddenly darkened.

The room was filled with many shadows. I use [Shadow Bind], many Shadow clones are formed from the shadows and all the bandits in the room are held by shadow clones.

"Are we going to receive extra money from the guild after we send these bandits to the guild?", I asked my teammates.

"I think our pay depends on the crimes these bandits have committed in the past" Zale told me.

They all showed expressions of happiness after I told them we were going to eat a lot for our dinner.

"Guild master, will you also give us the money to catch the bandits?",

ask the guild master. The guild master was thinking hard then he said,

"I'll pay you 5 big golds to take care of these bandits." "Thank you very much!

I will make these bandits faint so that they won't fight when we bring them into the guild.",

I said to the guild master as karate cut off the bandits behind their necks using my hands that put them into sleep.

[Magic Expeller]!

I chanted and the room brightened after the dark shadow in the room disappeared. The guild master gave us 10 white gold coins and 5 large gold coins.

After receiving the money, we dragged the bodies of the bandits and left the Merchant Guild. I threw [Gate] and the white light glittered in the form of an open door and we dragged the bodies of the bandits to the portal I made and now we are in Eldion, the Adventurers Guild.

We entered the Adventurers Guild and we were surprised that the King of the human kingdom and the beastman kingdom were inside the guild hall. The human king and the beastman king were discussing with the guild master about something.

We went to the guild master and the human king greeted us.

"Good day to you, hero! You're here just in time. We are discussing a meeting with the demon prince and who is also known as the demon hero. He betrayed his father because he did not want to start a war with us. So he sought an alliance with us.", The human king said.

"I don't care about that. I alone was enough to defeat the Demon King! If you give us a large sum of money then I might change my mind!", I replied showing a disinterested expression to me.

The human king started to get angry with my attitude but the beast man king advised him to calm down because he did not want the human kingdom to be destroyed.

The beastman king knew that I could destroy any kingdom that would displease me so he tried to appease the human king.

The human king started to calm down and he asked,

"How much do you want?"

"I want to marry your daughter!", I answer the question of the king of men.

I then felt the killing intent from Aerin. He seriously killed me so he wanted to slice me to pieces.

“I'm just kidding! I already have a fiancee and I don't plan on making a harem! I need at least 5 big platinum coins.”, I answered the king's question.

The king's expression turned grim and he started coughing blood after hearing my request.

"Fi-fi-ve bi-big pla-platinum co-coin!!!!!

It was equal to five thousand white gold coins and now you want me to pay a huge sum!!! That's equal to ten years of income from the kingdom's accumulated tax revenue."

The human king exclaimed while still coughing up blood.

"Hiring my help is expensive. I have at least 1 percent of the strength of a demon lord at the moment. I might defeat the demon lord in just a year!",

I avenge the human king and I brag about my strength.

"Good! I will pay half of it first and I will give you another half if you complete the task!", The human king said.

"We don't have to worry about**** eating Zale because we have five years worth of money! Thanks later!",

I announce to all my teammates.
