Journey To The North (12) The Promising Mercenary

"What!? The goblin king subjugation is over!?" A loud voice suddenly sounded from the counter. The voice sounded sincerely surprised and frustrated by the news that he seemed to just found out.

"Yeah, I have a friend that is a merchant and regularly goes the city of Arkansas to trade, you see. Yesterday, he told me that he finally could leave the city to sell his things after the restock since the goblin king's subjugation has ended," The bartender of the inn told him as he indifferently continue to wipe a glass on his hand.

"Guh... I should have not accepted the request at the empire and just accept the request at the Astellia Kingdom instead... Such an easy money and large bounty getting away so easily, I heard the rumors about the royalty of the Astellians are searching for great men as well... there goes my chance to become a noble..." The man drooped his shoulders and take a big gulp of the beer in his hand.
