Episode 100. my family, my people

“Glory to the lord! “Knight trainee Jureon has arrived after receiving the lord’s order.”

A knight trainee who is called a lord because he is not yet an official knight.

I was happy just looking at it.

Time passed quickly.

It has been a series of busy days since returning from the Forest of Monsters.

There was a lot of work on the territory.

One day, I received a report that purple light briefly covered the sky in the forest of monsters.

It seemed like Rainia had entered into a full-fledged awakening.

At least 2 years from now.

I completely erased it from my memory.

There are too many tasks given.

I walked around the estate every day until my feet were sweaty.

Various tasks were handled using earth knowledge.

Technician trainees also checked from time to time.

Trainees have already mastered the basics.

Now is the time to lead them to expert beginner level.

From the territory’s point of view, these knights are so inadequate.

It was time to start mass production(?) of articles.

It is soon time for penin tea production.

We are planning to harvest at three locations simultaneously.

More loyal knights were needed to become the hands and feet.

“Sir Juleon. “Youngju’s skills have improved noticeably and he feels good.”

“thank you. “My lord!!!”

The spirit is high.

“I’m going to give you a gift today.”

“I will be grateful!”

“Take off your armor and expose your upper body.”

“???”

Jureon takes on a suspicious glow for a moment.

Brother, don’t misunderstand.

I’m not that kind of guy.

Crash.

Jureon cannot resist and takes off his armor.

The horse’s muscles, strengthened by training, were revealed.

I swing my sword thousands of times every day, so my lower and upper body are perfect.

What if spirit is added here?

“From now on, assume the posture I tell you. And breathe… … .”

He taught me the posture of Ungi Tonapbeop.

It is difficult to view it as a Naegongsim method.

This neighborhood has a gangly vibe, so this alone was more than enough.

Achievement will vary depending on your efforts.

Juleon took a stance.

“From now on, don’t move or talk. I will guide your spirit with my spirit.”

“!!!”

Juleon is surprised.

With a serious attitude, he injected energy into Myeongmunhyeol.

Juleon’s body trembles.

I know it instinctively.

You are now incredibly lucky!

There is a difference between heaven and earth in the treatment of those who use spirits and those who do not.

Patter.

Jureon’s blood vessel, which had been blocked, was gently pierced with a new ball.

“Remember this road. “If you build your spirit through breathing, God’s blessings will be with you.”

That’s how I taught him how to operate the blood vessel.

A seed of inner strength was also planted in the danjeon.

“Whoa… … .”

After a while, Juleon went into meditation.

This is an important moment toward enlightenment.

I took my hand off Jureon’s body and looked out the window.

The last winter snow fell outside the window.

It is a natural law that it cannot accumulate in warm weather and quickly turns into water.

Fiona.

I suddenly missed Fiona so much.

I decided to go to Raizel Palace as soon as possible, no matter what it took.

So busy every day.

He called all the trainees and taught them the spirit.

They were truly happy and shouted loyalty.

It was evening.

I was hungry so I went down to the restaurant.

Seriana and Ionia were busy preparing food.

A lively restaurant.

“My lord. “The meal isn’t ready yet, what should I do?”

Seriana said with a smile.

Although she is a former lord’s wife, she is very kind to everyone.

“Today, I will cook and serve you food.”

“yes? W, the lord, you are going to make food yourself?”

“I will prepare it for Seriana and Miss Ionia who work hard every day.”

“!!!”

They both look at me in disbelief.

Nowhere in the Gaisha Empire have you ever heard of a nobleman as high as a count preparing and serving food by hand.

“Thank you for your words, but how can we…” … .”

“Rest assured. Before becoming a noble, he was a mercenary. “Today, I will personally confirm that even nobles can cook.”

“yes… … .”

Two suspicious mothers and daughters.

sent them out

I think the menu today was lamb.

When I saw the shiny, high-quality lamb, a dish came to mind.

I cut the flesh in half with a knife and sprinkled a little salt on it.

Spicy pyrus, sugar, and apples were ground and soaked in wine.

I gently kneaded the meat using my inner gong.

Lamb meat that is marinated and tenderized.

“Hwaryong. fire.”

Salamander was summoned and used instead of firewood.

A thick iron plate was coated with olive oil and the meat was placed on top.

Chiiiiiiiit.

The lamb steak was grilled until golden brown.

I flipped it back and forth.

Sliced ​​garlic was added to the oil.

Garlic oil was poured over the meat to remove any odor.

Even the setting on the bowl is perfect!

“What is this smell?”

“oh my god… … .”

Before I knew it, my junior family came down after smelling the smell.

The former lord’s family and the knight looked at the prepared dishes with surprised eyes.

“I haven’t prepared anything for you, but please enjoy it.”

Semi-dinner with wine.

“Did you really make it? “It tastes crazy!”

“Woah, my lord, it’s really delicious! “I’ve never tasted anything like this!”

“My lord! “I don’t regret having you as my lord for the rest of my life!”

“My lord. I guess I should learn something today. Ho ho ho.”

I really enjoyed the steak I made.

Even Ionia, who was silent, did not spare praise.

Feeling satisfied, I cut up the steak and put it in my mouth.

Soft, savory meat.

The garlic scent even removed the unpleasant odor, making it a perfect high-end dish.

gulp.

Even a glass of wine to wash away your greasy mouth.

So the family had a happy evening with my delicious cooking.

Relationships from other worlds that were intertwined by chance.

Now, they are my real family, eating together under one roof.

***

“Ugh… … .”

I closed the last magic book and stretched.

I organized the formulas into my own formula and entered it in my head.

A series of hard labor without any rest every day.

The price was perfect.

“The 6th circle has been sorted out. The 7th circle is the problem… … . “Why isn’t it manifesting?”

I organized everything up to the 7th circle.

However, I faced the problem of not being able to manifest magic.

It’s such an incredible achievement that other wizards would want to dissect it if they saw it, but they’re hungry.

Strangely, the 7th circle magic did not activate with the surrounding mana.

It felt like there was a fundamental problem, but I was frustrated because I didn’t know the reason.

“I’ll do it next time, okay?”

I sat on a chair and looked out the window.

“I’m going to get lovesick.”

Princess Fiona was lying on her knees.

Just thinking about it made me smile.

smart!

“My lord! Soshin, this is Perorin.”

“Please come in.”

“My lord. “It is a report that the Carmania Merchant Marine has entered the castle’s territory.”

“Has it happened already?”

“It’s been over a month.”

Time flies so fast.

Although it is less rigorous than graduate school research, the work at the estate is not easy.

The problem was that you had to risk your life.

“Make sure you prepare thoroughly. “It will take a lot of work to manage the slaves.”

“insect! “I will go down with my convictions.”

Sir Perorin’s voice was full of power.

It is the day when large-scale supplies are supplied through the merchant.

This is the first time in the history of the territory.

It is obvious that he is excited.

I looked out the window.

The sun passing through the afternoon.

All the snow that fell a few days ago has dried.

Tak tak tak tak.

Heeeeeeeee!

Kueee kueh.

The cries of all kinds of animals reached my sensitive ears.

“Yes, the top is coming!!!”

“Waaaaaa!”

I heard the soldiers cheering.

I looked out the window and watched the upper class coming in through the castle gate.

“Well, what is all that?”

“Uh-huh! “Is that all our territory?”

Youngjimin looked at the amazing object, seeing it for the first time in his life.

The sight I saw was amazing.

Even at a glance, there are hundreds of wagons loaded with luggage.

The number seems to be in the thousands, including the slaves with their arms tied, the upper merchants, coachmen, and mercenaries.

Animals were dragged behind them.

“Wait! “Everyone can’t come in, so wait!!”

“Soldiers, move the animals to the prepared location!”

The castle became bustling.

I took a step and headed outside.

The merchant fellow looks at me and smiles brightly.

“My lord! “How have you been?”

“It was a lot of hard work.”

“That’s too much praise. This is our main job. And thanks to you, I received a great reward from the Marquis.”

“okay?”

“The Marquis told me to let him know at any time if there is anything I need and to even convey his regards.”

“I guess I should write a personal letter thanking the Marquis.”

“You’ll love it.”

“Let’s go inside.”

The merchants were led to the office.

A moment later, Lord Perorin followed in with a flushed expression.

“My lord. As instructed, the food was sent to the warehouse and the slaves were sent to temporary lodgings outside the castle. Military supplies were also piled up in warehouses, and livestock were tied up in temporary pens. And after checking the items, they all met the terms of the contract.”

I am satisfied with the quick turnaround of work.

Sir Perorin’s face became very flushed.

With this item, the territory will be stabilized for the time being.

“You did a good job too. Please sit here. “Now that we’ve finished checking the items, we’ll have to pay for it.”

I looked at the merchants to discuss the price in earnest.

The price of the product was not set from the beginning.

The merchants’ eyes sparkled.

“What is the total price of the items expected?”

I sat on a chair, clasped my hands, and looked.

The fellow took out a statement from his pocket as if he had been waiting.

“Middle-grade wheat is 120 goldens per 10,000 kilos, which is 600 goldens in total, 100 cows are 200 goldens, 30 mares are good quality from the Principality of Pukel, 300 goldens each, 15 goldens per stallion is 30 goldens, and pigs are 100 goldens per female. “It costs 1 golden per animal, which is 100 golden.”

Meat was also expensive in this neighborhood.

In particular, war horses were very expensive.

“And for yellowtail, 400 pieces of ring mail cost 800 golden, and 300 pieces of chain mail cost 3 golden each… … .”

The military items that are mentioned one after another are valuable whether on Earth or here.

My appetite is bitter.

“There are about 200 male slaves in good health ranging from the age of 15 to their mid-30s, costing 800 golden each, and there are about 100 female slaves ranging from the age of 10 to their mid-30s, total costing 300 golden. ah! Lastly, the Marquis gave us about 200 bottles of wine as a souvenir of the transaction. So the total price is 4,400 golden. “My lord.”

About 4.4 billion in our money.

It’s less than you think.

Payment could be made with gold coins obtained from the Magic Tower.

However, if you pay as is, the nursing care equipment will be certified.

I looked at the merchants in silence.

It subtly contained energy.

The frightened merchants quickly lowered their heads, unable to meet him.

They know something is going to happen.

“Yes, you must have worked hard. Thank you so much. by the way… … .”

Instead of talking, I smiled.

The merchants look at me and smile awkwardly.

“… My lord, please speak. “Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?”

The fellow lifted his gun.

“Then tell me honestly.”

“???”

“How much did the above tell you to receive?”

“!!!”

Merchants are embarrassed when the topic is brought up openly.

There is no need for the players to talk at length among themselves.

It is beneficial to continue doing business with them for the time being, so I have no desire to cut them off so sensibly.

“If it’s difficult to talk, I’ll suggest conditions.”

“I will listen.”

“Let’s clean up the numbers in the back.”

“yes?”

400 golden coins that were refreshingly shaved off.

The merchants looked at each other.

and.

“All right.”

Fellow nodded.

That level of authority has been delegated.

“I may be presumptuous, but I did my best to meet the conditions your lord said. “I would appreciate it if you could just know that.”

There was sincerity in the fellow’s voice.

This part is completely understandable.

It is a miracle that such a large amount of goods were brought to a ruined territory with nothing in it.

“I know very well. “I will also treat you appropriately for that.”

“… … .”

Merchants looking with expectant eyes.

“As long as I exist in this territory, as long as I do not break the line, I will definitely guarantee the upper level’s monopoly on commercial activities. And gold from mines.”

“thank you! “I will repay your favor with even greater sincerity.”

“Lord Perorin, please pay the price immediately.”

“Chuuung!”

“We will be holding a banquet, so tell the kitchen. “Select those with extensive kitchen experience among female slaves and appoint them.”

“We will implement it immediately!”

Lord Perorin’s voice rang out.

“and… … .”

We can’t just be full like this.

“Kill some cows and pigs, as well as flour.”

“yes?”

“I’ll give you plenty of alcohol.”

“That means… … .”

Sir Perorin waited for the next words.

“If I let this go tonight, the people of the territory will call me a well-fed pig.”

“ah!”

“Let’s all feed and play. today… “It’s a festival.”

“Master… … .”

Lord Perorin’s eyes turn red again.

“Chuuung!”

Sir Perorin shouted loudly and went out.

And after a while.

“Waaaaaaaa!”

“Long live the permanent residents! hurray!”

The shouts of my people were so strong that the walls of the castle shook.
