Chapter 97.2, Growth (3)
Generally, hunting undead isn’t profitable unless the enemy is a bigwig. You can’t sell their meat or bones and the lower ranked undead don’t hold any treasure on them. It’s a job people won’t take the initiative to take unless they’re from the Order of Death Knights. And, since only Death Knights can deal with those bigwig undeads who stock up treasure, mercenaries don’t get a turn.
However, it’s different if there’s a private client.
“We’re getting paid and there’s not much risk of dying so stop complaining.”
The client this time was ‘Dessend’ itself. The reward was guaranteed. The only undead appearing were the lowest ranks like Skeletons, so it wasn’t a bad job, except for the fact that they had to be on duty at night. The truly wonderful thing above all was that they’d definitely get paid even if the undead didn’t appear.
The most important thing for mercenaries is their life and second most important thing is money. This job has a lot of undead so the situation could get frightening sometimes and if they were careless, they could get injured, but this was a relatively easy job compared to what mercenaries, who were fighting on the front lines against Demon King’s army were doing.
