Hakai no Miko

Episode 37 Copper

The Son of Destruction leaves the soldiers.

The report was immediately delivered to the Wang Capital using an early horse.

"The Son of Destruction has retreated?!"

King Walius, who is rewarded, often tells him to shudder and then whine.

"I mean, you're telling me his aim was Dwarf and Copper in Marben Copper Mountain...?

If you look at the actions of the Son of Destruction that the Dwarves of Marben Copper Mountain crossed the river with the copper and fled to the Bornis side, you can only assume that the purpose was Marben Copper Mountain Dwarves and Copper.

One of the chief ministers, who could not ignore King Walius' question, answers in a desperate manner (today) that the spearhead of the eclampsia may be directed at him.

"Unfortunately, to analyse this situation, I can only say that it was..."

To the answer of the heavy minister, King Walius shook the bull and the body into small pieces.

I thought coming out to be smashed myself was something that was humble, slave and cute. But it was only a deception to distract us. All that or King Walius rages at the bandit-like way of stealing people's money from the side without trying to fight properly.

"Oh, no...! How far are you going to fool around...!!"

And the spearhead of that anger was directed toward the two who lay flat in the middle between the glances. King Walius rises from the throne, and raises his anger.

"Rudolphus! Kafner! You betrayed the rest of your trust and didn't take back the copper. How dare you congratulate yourself and show your face before the rest!

It was Rudolphus and Kafner, who had taken away the dwarf of Marben Copper Mountain, who shook his body with fright.

King Walius' anger was terrible, but he couldn't have just escaped, and the two of them were returning for the report, half ready to die.

But all I can say is bad luck when I receive reports that the Son of Destruction has withdrawn to go with it.

"You incompetent bastard! Or are you disloyal to the rest of us?!"

Even laying flat, King Walius shouted a relentless curse. Those who were there frowned at the cursing and murmuring that they could not hear, but there was no one to try to intercede between them. As everyone avoided thunder, I just had to shrug my neck and wait for King Walius's temper to heal.

King Walius, who continues to curse and whose vocabulary is exhausted, stabs both of them in the stomach.

"Both names, I'm in charge of defending Rapley! Because if we put Romanias in front of us, that laziness will go away too!

Until then, without any defense, even the two were trying to escape King Walius' inquiry, but I look up to this unexpectedly.

Rapley is a peripheral land close to the border with the Romanian country where King Walius' brother Vritas was once sent. Nothing but a left transition, such as the transfer from Wang Du to Rapley. It is better to be condemned to death, such as being exposed to such shame.

"Heh, Your Majesty! Please rethink. Scrape yourself up, but you can take back this mess! Please reconsider!

Yes. If Rudolphus screams, Kafner also rubs his forehead on the floor and begs.

"If you can tell me to fight Romanian, at least go to the fort on the Rabbian River! I will spare my life to fight and let you see it!

But neither did their desperate plea reach King Walius.

"You bastards! A fool like you can take care of the Rabbian River! - Guards! Knock these guys out of the royal palace!

Surrounded by guards and taken out of the midst of sight, but not blinded to Rudolphus and Kafner, who desperately raised their pleading voice, King Walius made a noise and lowered his back to the throne.

But King Walius's wrath does not subside because he flew the two officers into seclusion. During the sight, he was filled with King Walius's silent anger, wrapped in tingling tension.

I have no luck with the squire who brought me the reward during such a glance. But no way. Turn around here. You can't just go home right, and raise your voice with a semi-crying look.

"I tell His Majesty King Walius!

Only then did King Walius stare at him with a guillotine, and his squire crept up. But still, keep the word to keep your duties straight.

"- Lord Cornelius has come for a look!

In the name of Cornelius, one of the ten members of the merchant guild of Jeboa, the air between the sights moves deliberately.

It was Cornelius, who had already entered the king's capital, Holmenia, but had not even tried to ask for a look, instead of urging copper once, even though the due date for handing over copper was long past. For that reason, he had come to this day without daring to tell him to ascend from King Walius, who had taken the copper he had promised.

But has the time finally come?

That makes King Walius feel like a fool. But that's not why I can't drive Cornelius back, and I ordered him to pass during the sight.

Cornelius, who was guided during the sight as the chief ministers drank and watched what harsh words of urging could be thrown, first offered a Jeboa-style thank-you and then told King Walius.

"I cordially greet His Majesty King Warius. I will return to Jeboa from this. Today, I came to that greeting."

Cornelius goes on to say pale words before King Walius and the heavy ministers, confused as to what it means, to greet his sudden return home.

"And the other day we delivered the product, and we're going to fry it together."

Besides, the Warius kings finally understood the situation.

It's not a copper reminder. Cornelius had already learned of it and had only just arrived at the royal palace that the Holmeer nation could no longer prepare copper.

"Yes, no! They'll be waiting a while. I'll make sure you have the copper!

Cornelius sighed heavily at the resistance of its king Walius.

"So how much wait can you have the copper you promised?

And the chief ministers, all of whom were king Walius, clogged the words.

I could already get Marben Copper Mountain itself back, but that doesn't make copper readily available.

Besides, Marben Copper Mountain was one of the leading copper mountains in the West Side, due in large part to the slaves of Dwarves with high mining skills. Now that there is not a single slave of that dwarf left to flee, it is visible that copper production will be gutted. That's all, according to a Marben Copper Mountain investigation report, the Dwarf slaves collapsed some pits and so on when they fled, and the restoration will also take time.

This is all about this time or securing copper in the future.

"Believing in the Holmeer country, I kept waiting until today. But that's no longer the limit, either. We would like you to prepare the copper now or, if you cannot do so, return the product you have been keeping"

King Walius, whose face was bright red and his voice was leaking to Cornelius's demands, says something very, very distressing.

"You should prepare it! I'll gather them from all over the country, but I'll make sure we have the copper!

To the cry of King Walius, the heavy ministers blued their faces.

Surely it might be enough to gather copper called copper from the country. However, that ensures that Holmea domestic falls into a serious copper shortage.

If that happens, that's the big problem.

The most commonly used currencies among ordinary people are bronze and brass coins. If we run out of these currencies due to a lack of copper, we will lag where there is business and the lives of ordinary people will deteriorate.

That's not all. If copper soars due to a lack of copper and the market for gold and silver copper collapses, Cornelius will now replace the copper he has just obtained with gold and silver. And what awaits is an enormous amount of gold and silver spill into Jeboa.

"Heh, Your Majesty! Please don't do that!

The heavy ministers, who fear King Walius's inquisitiveness, also plead with a change of blood phase in an attempt to stop the outrage that could just crush the country.

"Your Majesty, reconsider! Then the Holmeer country will be inclined!

"That will not be all, Your Majesty!

Even King Walius can't get through me for the heavy ministers. I had to turn my face bright red to anger and humiliation and let my whole body shake with a pull as if I had a cramp (convulsion).

Cornelius, who watched it cold, thanked him with exaggerated manoeuvres.

"Apparently, you've come to a conclusion. - Then, Your Majesty King Walius, I beg your pardon at this. We wish His Majesty and the Holmeer nation more and more prosperity"

In addition to being robbed of huge quantities of copper, the painful hands on the finances of the Holmeer country, where Marben Copper Mountain was crushed, are immeasurable. Knowing it, Cornelius left behind the painful irony of praying for prosperity.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

One of the dwarves who had kept him waiting whispered his ears to Cornelius when he was escorted out of the Palace of Holmea by the strange voice of King Walius.

"Sir. From the prodigal son of the Shapiro Chamber of Commerce came a man of use."

I went on to tell him what I had asked him to do, but Cornelius sighed sooner than that.

"... tell him I'll take it"

Cornelius says to the dwarf, who looks at it without even asking what it is.

"You would have brought the copper buyout anyway?

"What? Yes! As your husband said, we would like to give you copper for cheap"

The dwarf was surprised, but as Cornelius it is a natural guess.

Though ostensibly Joash, who left the Merchant Guild, shouldn't be exactly going against Jebor. Especially in the present situation, which has made King Walius mad by this incident, you will want to deepen your friendship with Jeboa even more.

It's not a good idea to keep the copper that you were supposed to get, even though there's no direct monetary damage from yourself, one of those ten Jeboa commissioners. Then you can easily imagine giving that copper away cheaply and trying to sell a favor here.

"That's my husband. - Oh. And since there's a lot of good craftsmen at an acquaintance, he wants me to tell him that if you want, he can also process and give you copper."

To the words of the dwarf, Cornelius divulges laughter.

The suggestion that the Dwarves migrated from Marben Copper Mountain to the work of the Dwarves was hand-wrestling enough. Besides, it's never a bad story for this one either.

"Then half of it stays copper chunks. Let me make you something for the rest. Tell them you'd like to discuss the details again later."

As the dwarf ran away to convey his words, Cornelius turned his thoughts around as he jerked off his jawbeard.

Until now, Cornelius has placed more emphasis on relations with the Holmeer State than on the Son of Destruction. Although the Son of Destruction has momentum as an emerging force, he is one of the most powerful in the West Side by comparison. It is also a natural decision. But this case of copper was enough to make the balance in Cornelius lean heavily toward the Son of Destruction.

"Perhaps this should be switched to the Son of Destruction over the Holmeer Country..."

One of his servants, who hears the solitary words of that Cornelius, speaks of his counsel.

"Sir. Soon the Hordes will move for the suppression of rebel slaves. Wouldn't it be better if we identified that trend?

Once switched, it makes no sense for the Son of Destruction to be crusaded by the Horsemen. Instead, there is a risk that we will just buy the discomfort of the Holmeer country.

To his squire pointing that out, but Cornelius laughed with his little nose.

"I've already made up my mind"

Near confused without knowing the meaning of its master's words, Cornelius affirmed:

"The Army of the Hordes and others are so disintegrated by the Son of Destruction."
