Din no Monshou (WN)

The boy was born in a city in the northern part of the Empire.

It is a famous place for gemstones while on the border,

The great aristocrats of the Empire were very busy to come and buy them.

The city's revenues were also very high, and the city was densely inhabited for the merchants.

And the biggest merchant in the city - his heir, the boy was born.

The son of the city's largest jeweler and Duranille family owner.

Sometimes it was my only child, and I was raised dearly at the hands of my parents.

The Duranilles were putting integrity first in business, and there was a great deal of trust from other merchants.

It has been a family that has flourished steadily throughout its long history.

Parents sincere in business without leaking into examples.

Seeing such parents, the boy learned the basics of being a merchant.

And he realized the pleasure of business and grew as he cultivated purity.

Achievement to making money.

Happy smiles of people buying gems.

The boy, who grew up and became entrusted with the store, couldn't help but enjoy his job.

It wasn't too late to start wishing to grow up as a merchant.

"Someday I want to make this city the biggest city in the Empire, with gems"

Every day I work with my clan and other merchants to get into business.

Nature and local love have also gushed.

When I accompanied the shipment to Imperial City, I missed my hometown so much in a few days.

The boy will eventually serve one person,

Finally, the day is approaching to succeed the governor of the Duranille family.

But that's when the anomaly started to happen.

Let's start with a familiar change.

There were fewer wealthy customers coming to buy gems and they were out of stock.

And there were clearly fewer guests walking in the city.

Further anomalies ensued, and as a merchant he was to be exposed to the greatest crisis.

A great nobleman who was a good customer stopped buying jewelry.

The boy's parents rushed to bring the price down.

But still, nobility didn't try to buy it.

The nobleman said cruelly, eating down what kind of change of heart had occurred.

"I don't need such a cloudy stone. It's time for better things to come in at cheaper prices."

In that word, the boy's parents noticed.

The customer's jewellery supplier has changed.

The research revealed an influx of jewels of similar materials from the neighbouring Union,

It turns out the vast majority of customers are buying you.

It buys and fishes inexpensive and superior raw stones from Dwarf mines and processes them and sells them in the Union.

The jewels made with the technology of the Union were more beautiful in colour than those of the Empire, and then cheaper.

It satisfied not only the passengers to choose by value, but also the demand of the aristocrats to choose by quality.

The momentum was tremendous, driving imperial gems off the market in a short period of time.

It was the moment when the fate of the boy's beloved gem city - was completely exhausted.

Merchants crumbling one after another.

The city, which had lost its vitality, had been extremely devastated.

In the meantime, the Duranilles tried to resist to the end.

I reached out vigorously to other industries, but my focus was vain and failed all the time.

The peripheral city was flourishing with gems.

If the jewels are worthless, no traveler, nobility, or orientation.

The Duranilles are behind in paying taxes to local nobles,

I was to be treated for merchant crushing.

The city lost its last glimmer when the biggest merchant who worked hard to the end was crushed.

The local aristocracy that brings him to the Imperial Palace made a cut at the lonely gem city.

Even minimal maintenance functions, such as soldiers, were withdrawn, virtually renouncing the rule of the city.

The boy, entangled in a vortex of despair, managed to help his parents.

But his mother died after being attacked by a beggar who appeared in the city.

The father, whose merchant was crushed and heartbroken, his wife's sudden death triggered him and laid him on the floor.

And with careless tears, I took my breath away with hard work.

I left one young boy behind.

- Why not?

With the death of his parents in sight, the boy first thought so.

Would we have done something wrong?

deprived of the business that was the handle, even his hometown was crushed,

Have you done anything that would make you lose even your closeness?

The boy felt the future he had envisioned fill black.

It punched a hole in the boy's innocent, pure chest.

The merciless loss breaks my heart twitching.

And gradually, a fierce rage broke out, like filling an open hole.

Without the Union, I would have been happy.

They never took it from me.

With my parents, I was able to continue with the merchant-

What we should resent is the Union.

Take your parents' revenge, no matter how many years or decades it takes.

Let the Union take the blame for crushing the world it wanted.

And regain the appearance of the home to be.

It was at this time that a drooling and fervent passion broke out in the boy's heart.

The boy petitioned the local grand nobleman with the momentum of abandonment.

He asked me to show him the way to the Imperial Center.

Thought I'd get a gate advance, but the grand aristocrat wrote me a letter of recommendation, reluctantly.

The son of a once commonly used merchant, maybe he took pity on me.

Upon receipt of the letter of recommendation, he bids farewell to his devastated hometown and the boy leaves for Empire City.

I volunteered to join the Imperial City or no, slap the letter of recommendation and become a court judge.

But the imperial response was not fragrant, and he could not enter the courtroom.

No matter how much Imperial officials recommend,

I guess I didn't want to admit a raw man with no bare qualities.

dreams were supposedly crushed, but the imperial chamber, drawing on the circumstances,

He arranged for me to be assigned to an important institution.

It was an intelligence agency specializing in sabotage operations against hostile countries, called the Ambush House.

So as a spike direct from the executive, the boy was set to move.

At this time, the Empire was beginning to plan for the annexation of a Union whose funds were luxurious.

It takes decades to send poison inside, look at the time and subordinate it to the empire, colonize it.

If successful, the imperial chamber promised to reward the boy.

It's about citing the country to rebuild the home of a devastated boy and putting a boy in the head of a city.

Listening to this condition, the determination was clearly consolidated.

The boy volunteered for the assignment earlier than anyone else.

The rugged path of secretly receiving support from the Empire and becoming a "merchant king” who cows the United States.

But the boy made it possible with obsession.

New business starts in the western cities of the Union.

With a sense of foresight and obsession, he steadily built on his strength.

Oddly enough, the city was headed by a merchant who made up his fortune with jewels from the United States.

In other words, he's the main culprit who indirectly crushed his hometown.

Under imperial aid, the boy began to use all his hands to become and have power over the Merchant King.

And finally, the payment to the United States surpasses the city's merchant king,

He succeeded in reigning as a new king of merchants.

The boy, who got a lot of money and authority, started retaliating against the jewellers.

Thoroughly bought up gems and production technology and monopolized the industry.

It was also at this time that I bought out strange eyes from a pedestrian who wanted to go through.

A demonic eye that can disable magic hanging from people and objects.

Since I got this, I've been able to see through the magically manipulated jewels of the masterpiece.

Use this eye to accurately identify suspicious gems that are out in the world,

The jewelry appraisal industry, which sells at high prices, has also begun.

Look at him sticking to the business of gems,

Many have come to call the boy ”jewel madness”.

However, the effects of industrial monopolies are immense.

Kick down the city's jewelers one after the other,

The impact extended to the merchant kings of neighboring cities.

The surrounding king of merchants, who had made the jeweler a source of revenue, fell one after the other.

And the boy struck out in the next hand.

Assist the middle-sized merchants, who are unlikely to be king of merchants, with funds provided they are loyal to the Empire.

At the same time, dare to lawfully obstruct the existing Merchant King.

Thus disturbed one merchant king after another close to the empire.

Here, the faction culminating in the boy - the pro-Imperial faction - was completed.

But when he reached that point, the boy thought.

Do I need to do more than that?

It's a simple story if you think about it.

If we can make the Union a part of the Empire, we can undo our hometown city.

But his destination is often the ruler of the peripheral city.

When he attacked the Union, the Imperial Palace saw himself as an outsider,

You won't be able to get a key position.

In other words, skinned as the merchant king of the Union,

It is who governs the big cities now that they are in the highest position as merchants.

Even though I wanted to, I was hesitant to go down the visible downhill.

If we stay like this, we can live a lifetime free of disabilities.

Going any further is nothing more than dragging your position down with your own hands.

Maybe vengeance as fierce as a beast should quell around here.

At the bottom of the boy's chest, such thoughts arose.

But at that time, distant old memories were shaken.

I was able to get into business without any evil, myself at a young age.

Tough but gentle, family-minded parents.

And the Union that dragged it into the abyss of darkness.

The merchant kings who beat themselves to bitter and lonely loneliness and drove their homeland into devastation.

They ran through my head as distant memories.

At that time - the boy thought.

Nor is he a man of pure empire.

Who the hell am I, who can't even be a merchant in the Union?

Forget your anger, if you can't take your parents' revenge,

What do I exist for?

If you can't forget your grief and undo your nostalgic hometown,

What the hell have I come so far for?

I have not endured hardship to easily spoil and break.

That's why the boy is determined again.

I am not a merchant.

Not to mention, it's not even a heavy town of great empires.

The way you (Zepil) should be.

The true appearance that you (Duranil) must have.

And the way you want to go, the way you really want to go...

"-" The Avenger ".

I must be the Avenger of the Union. "

◆ ◆ ◆

So close, Zepil shut his mouth.

His past, spoken of, was full of resentment towards the Union.

In a glued state, spit out zepil resentment.

But Herabellio sighs here.

"... so that's the end of your unhappiness bragging? It's ridiculous."

For the sake of Herabellio, Zepil frowns.

I guess it's frustrating that they cut it in a nutshell and dumped it.

But Herabellio still tells Zepil off.

"Well, you weren't meant for merchants."

Even though he was assisted by the Empire, Zepil went up to the Merchant King in a generation.

In contrast to him like that, Herabellio branded him ineligible.

With a weighty voice, I will tell you how the merchant is.

"The essence of a merchant is the survival of the fittest.

Successful people fill their bellies with happiness, and those who fail lose their lives with hunger.

That's all I knew when I was a kid. "

An inquiry released with a sharp gaze.

But Zepil is silent on this question.

It maintains a faceless look, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Grabbing his fist, he takes Herabellio's words from the front.

"Those who fail and resent others are not for merchants. Ruin and take for granted."

"... I know. I knew it."

Here Zepil pinched his voice.

Answer Herabellio, who has accused me, in a flashy tone.

"I told you. I am not a merchant.

You can't even be a merchant - you're just a vengeful man. "

The words were heavy, with strong determination.

With the answer of the merchant king Zepil, the merchant king Herabellio shrugged his shoulder.

And turn to the determined traitor and ask him his intentions like a question.

- Zepil, where are we going?

"Whatever. To my birthplace"

Go on, Herabellio asks.

"- Zepil, what do you exchange there?"

"Be self-evident. Until I formed wealth as a merchant."

In response to Herabellio's question, Zepil answers directly and instantly.

A quick and sharp response is a sign of readiness.

In response to this, Herabellio nodded deeply.

And finally, he threw a temperamental question.

- Zepil, what did you want?

…………

Here, for the first time, Zepil silenced.

Apparently Herabellio's question was something that discerned his mind.

Not ”wanted” but ”wanted".

That means that the hope we already want to achieve is that we have gone far away.

What we're doing now seems like a shortcut, an act that actually keeps us away from true hope.

I guess Herabellio wants to say that in the dark.

Zepil's eyes, silent in the wake of the word, seemed to look at the distant past.

But after a period of silence, Zepil pronounced.

"- Bringing back those glorious days"

In one word, I could observe.

What Zepil sincerely wanted was not an act of revenge.

It did happen at an early age, in contact with parents and home.

And that it was a reunion with them.

But that wish will no longer come true.

Because it didn't come true, resentment was solicited.

He hated the Union, the Merchant King.

Zepil exhaled small, telling him in a strong tone.

- To do that, we have to finish you off.

That's Zepil's last conclusion.

Hearing what he meant, Herabellio shook his head sideways.

"I knew... I couldn't convince you."

Oh.

If Zepil's true self is to be achieved, all the merchant kings need to be killed.

But I can't let you do that.

Fighting is no longer inevitable.

"Farewell, my enemies.

These knights are a sign of my paranoia. "

With that said, Zepil raised one hand.

accordingly, a knight standing beside him,

And the dragon knights surrounding the round table set themselves up.

A moment when many merchants shook themselves.

Zepil made the touch of the showdown.

- Do it.

At this moment, the dragon knights moved out.

But Bud and I will move forward and become walls.

Plus, I'll kick the round table chair and make sure I make it.

Instructions were skipped to the merchants in the gap.

"Steady in the round table!

Never go out there!

Taking my word for it, the merchants rushed to the center of the round table.

This made it easier to protect.

But it is also true that the risk of being exhausted has increased.

Here I give instructions to the next Walkins.

"I'll deal with Zepil and the knights around him.

Walkins, be careful with the Merchant King's escort!

Then Walkins becomes a puzzled face.

And you've spoken out about me.

"But then the safety of Master Regis..."

"I'm fine. One finger for the king of merchants, never let him touch me - please"

I asked for it in a strong tone.

Walkins would have noticed.

That this battle is no good if we destroy our enemies.

Defeating Zepil's aim and defending the king of merchants is a victory condition.

It makes no sense if the Merchant King dies, even if he drives his enemies to destruction with a total attack.

Not only will my heart certificate be poor, but the momentum of the Union itself will be shattered.

If you get weak, it is imperative that you feed the Empire.

That's all - we have to make sure it stops.

Walkins nodded cocklessly at my request.

"... I understand. Good luck, Master Regis."

"Oh, and watch out for Walkins,"

That said, Walkins jumped into the middle of the big hall - the round table.

Now the Dragon Knight for the Merchant King should be able to prevent it.

Place Walkins, the primary power, as a shield.

This is the best way to cut through without damage.

Eighteen simultaneous defenses, etc., are inherently tantamount to impotence.

But she would.

Walkins would do this role perfectly.

Here, Bud sighed unwillingly.

"So you're dealing with these guys in Temehe with me.

Shit... Shit, this number is "

Some of them would go towards Walkins in an ambush,

Most dragon knights will come running into us, a front obstacle.

It is true that it is the role with the most work.

But here I shook my head sideways.

"No, I'll deal with this place alone.

Bud, break through the siege and bring in the private soldiers of each king of merchants. "

"- Ha!? Are you insane, Temee!

Bud makes a startling noise.

I responded with care so that my inner tension did not appear on my face.

"Sanity is sane, sanity is insane.

Well, the risk would be as high as mine. - Can't you?

"I don't know who to tell. I have cancer.

If you die while I'm gone, I'll kill you. "

That said, Bud slashed and tore his own shoulder with a short knife.

And he goes into the dragon knight blocking the exit.

"Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola!

You rotten lizards!

He sprinkles his blood, screaming words that the anti-racists can't make him hear very well.

A splash of blood on the floor makes a noise with Joo-joo to produce hot air.

Apparently, he's messing with the nature of strong acidity.

- Don't touch it. It'll melt.

"- Calm down and chase! Don't go out there!

The Dragon Knights chase Bud for a forcible breakthrough.

You seem scared to be contacted outside to see that reaction.

Perhaps a private soldier from Zepil is sealing off the area around the mall.

As for the people who want to cut off working with the outside, they shouldn't be able to help but hate Bud's presence.

I appreciate some of the dragon knights scattered over there.

Seeing my attention turned to Bud, I released a fireball to the Dragon Knight near the entrance.

"-" Gunfire "heh!

It's not the same as previous gunfires.

Three flaming balls were thrown at the same time.

The magic consumption is also very difficult to control, but the effect is very rare.

The dragon knights, who ate the direct strike, bowed loudly.

"I'm your opponent."

And the dragon knights in the front turned a sharp glance at me.

I'm glad the target has been switched.

But don't be a little too numerous.

But you can't let them break through here.

I had a strong smile.

"I'm gonna jail everyone, including Zepil."

To say no or no, the Dragon Knight has stormed at once.

Drive away the dragon knight, who spanned an ambush, with an explosion condensed by Walkins.

That's Walkins.

over there as leaving it to her,

All I do is kick the enemy in front of me.

"- Let's go!

I'm in the mood. Put my magic activation on wolf smoke,

The curtain of the battle to settle the King of Merchants' Council - was cut and dropped.
