Hero without Blood or Tear

For a moment, we got to the point where we talked about Kubalt's pyrotechnics.

“What are you trying to get out of the fruit anyway? ”

I didn't intend to spit it out, so I made a clear line.

“Why else would you have called me? How can your business be more important than your business? After hearing the words of the king, I will also tell you the thoughts of the plaintiff if I give my permission. ”

He spoke politely, but the meaning was clear. You tell me first, before you say, "I can't." Y-you think so? Look at this guy's face. "1).

He's the one who invited me first. So I casually tasted the flavor as if to do it my way. In the end, Kubalt was bitten.

“I'm just curious why you're going north. ”

How do I answer that here? If we can get Kubalt to cooperate in this case, it'll be a good thing. He is neutral in every way, but this case is likely to favor Earl Niederbayer.

Why? Because this man is the Demon King who thinks trading with Humans is more profitable than killing Humans. I'm not in the same faction as Roelin, but I agree with her emotionally.

From his point of view, the emperor who touches the Demon King is annoyed. I won't side with anyone because I'm good at prescriptions, but I have a good chance of supporting this side secretly.

That's why I came to the Palace of the Demon King so quietly.

“Tourism.”

I bounced once.

“It could be sightseeing, of course. But don't you want to explore and deal with the cities to the north? ”

“I think you should guess. Even the stubborn one like the servant assumed Your Highness' intentions, so I do not doubt that you can do the same. ”

I keep not revealing myself, but thinking about the other party's intentions. Kubalt grows narrower and narrower, eventually biting a couple of times.

“Okay, this time, let's deduce the fruit. I don't think your mouth is going to open unless he reveals the basics anyway. ”

“I'll listen.”

“You know where this started. So I'm working on that part. The destination, of course, is Saxony's capital, Dresden. ”

“Oh…. ”

The admiration of Najjik made him look confident.

“The Velia Merchant Guild is located in Dresden, to be exact. ”

You must be Kubalt the Great. He saw exactly the nature of the situation.

“Why the Velia Merchant Guild? ”

“It's a simple matter. It's because the Leiter Knights, who started this incident, owe the Velia Merchant Guild a huge debt. The bond is already past its maturity date and interest is rising like a snowball. The Writers' family can't even sleep. ”

I nodded. That's right. The Writers were swarming because of the money.

“You're right. But there's one more thing that's pressing the Writers. ”

“Hehe. I'm looking forward to your explanation. ”

We were testing each other's insights because we lived in and received them.

“The one who looks after the Velia Merchant Guild is Saxon Pre-Election. ”

I'm telling you, Kubalt grins.

“I knew you weren't just anyone. I'm starting to get interested in you. ”

“Your Majesty is charming, but I will politely refuse. I am only Earl Niederbayer. ”

“Haha! I've got time to joke around with the Demon King. I like this guy more and more. I don't think the Earl's eyes are wrong. ”

“A compliment.”

Somehow, Kubalt and I thought it was a good idea. This guy and I have a good conversation.

“That's why I was so preoccupied with this. I received a lot of money from the Velia Merchant Guild, so I gave it a try. ”

Sachsen appeared face-to-face, but was not active in this matter. If the Velia Merchant Guild said it was okay, they'd always fall for it.

“If we can clear this mess up first, we'll see where this mess leads. ”

“I'm amazed at your euphemism, Balor. That information, too. But how can we convince the Velia Merchant Guild to get rid of Sachsen? I don't see the answer to that. ”

Kubalt seems to have already thought about this.

“That's the part where the plague is solved. ”

“Going to Dresden means there's a solution? ”

I simply replaced the answer with a smile. I'm sure he'll be on our side, but I can't say it all for sure.

“Hmm……. ”

Kubalt thought to himself, looking at me like that. But it's time for him to decide.

“I'll be honest with you. The Guan complains about the imperial seal this time. Trade with Roelin has also been disrupted. The Mad Emperor cut off the deal between the Demon Kings. ”

Pleasant is rich in coal, which is also exported to Roseland. However, this blockade disrupted exports.

“That's why I want to support Earl Niederbayer. But all I could think about was how to help. There are no ties between Earl Niederbayer and me. ”

“And then I showed up? ”

“That's right. I thought the Earl would make a great bridge for a guy he was in love with. You're much better than I thought you'd be. ”

“I'm ashamed.”

Kubalt wanted an alliance with Valpurgis in the long run, starting with this case.

“I think the future of the Guan will be much more stable if we join hands with her, who will be the future of Bavaria. ”

“Have you ever thought about taking on a doctor yourself? ”

“Maybe it's time. All sorts of negotiators will be in touch. I didn't want to go through wholesale gold with them. Especially since Earl Niederbayer doesn't like the Demon King. ”

In fact, it took Valpurgis a long time to establish a cooperative relationship with the Demon King Roelin of Roses. It must have been a difficult decision for Valpurgis. Considering the status of the Sisters of the House of Valpur, the alliance with the Demon King is not right. But for her, the identity of Earl Niederbayer was also important.

“Roelin gained Earl Niederbayer's trust with her unlike her patience. I hope the overexercises are also in a calm relationship. I want to help you with this and build a long-term relationship. I'm counting on you to do the bridge. ”

“Earl Niederbayer will make all the decisions. ”

“Of course it is. Balor, I'm gonna ask you to do this. ”

Kubalt's attitude seemed quite uncomfortable. On second thought, it was also possible. The Plazen is the main transportation hub for the tributaries of the four rivers, and a land rich in iron ore and coal.

There were his enemies everywhere. Moreover, it was clear that the greedy emperor would one day aim for this place. Kubalt seems eager to find allies before it's too late.

“I won't forget to repay you if this goes well. ”

A system message appears along with his words.

< The Quest Scenario for Quval has been opened. If you complete it, you will receive his special reward. >

There is a powerful immortal scarlet as a reward to be expected from Kubalt. That scarlet that only came from the horse system was a very coveted object for me.

“First, take this. ”

Kubalt gives out a communication ring. It's kind of like a direct line.

“Contact the overlord if you need to. The information of the overlord will be useful to you. If it's about this, I'll tell you for free. ”

You have to give him a lot of money to buy information. I've used Kubalt's intelligence in the past like that. However, given the free information on this matter, he was found to be quite aggressive.

“Thank you. I'll make it useful. Well, I have one question. Have you heard of the swordsman who claimed to be the last of the Great Sword? ”

“Oh, you mean the man who suddenly shows off his swordsmanship. There's very little known yet. I'll let you know if I find out anything. ”

“Thank you."

“Good. Let's not talk about work, and enjoy the feast with the overlord! ”

I left the next day at dawn for a great banquet in Québald.

* * *

Three days later.

I arrived in Dresden. I entered the Velia Merchant Guild's front gate without any waves.

“I'd like to see the merchant lord. ”

“Who are you? If you don't have an appointment.... ”

< Glory of the Great Duke triggered! >

“Ahhhh! I'm sorry! I don't know who you are. How dare you! ”

The mercenary slammed his butt with a gatekeeper.

“Go in and tell the merchant. Someone who can solve the problems you're facing because of your children. ”

“I understand! I understand! ”

The mercenary, who twisted his back and answered twice, ran into the mansion and disappeared. Then a moment later, a man who seemed to be in charge of the butler came forward.

“Who are you…. ”

< Glory of the Great Duke triggered! >

“Ahhhh! I'm sorry! How dare a humble servant meet a nobleman! ”

A classy butler knocks his butt and falls back.

“Oh, I'll show you! ”

Eventually, I met Velia Merchant Guild Owner quickly. He keeps his SS grade skills on and off, so as soon as he sees me, he is startled and bends at his waist.

“What is your name? ”

“My name is Ballersted Baller. I heard you were looking for someone to save your son. ”

“Are you sure you can solve his problem? ”

It is well known that the son of the Velia Merchant is suffering from a deep disease. He spent a thousand dollars trying to save his only heir, but it was all for nothing.

That's why I'm trying to save his son to get what I want from the Velia Merchants Guild. Saving his son was easy because it had been done several times in the past.

“Of course. Trust me. ”

“Very well. Take a look at my son. ”

When I went there, it was just as I expected. It was a peculiar symptom of muscle loss throughout the body.

To find a solution to this muscle disease, we needed to go to Grossglockner, a mountain beyond the south-eastern border of the Empire.

At 3,798 meters above sea level, the majestic Grosse Glokner was a star world full of all kinds of elixirs. One of the elixirs there was a special medicine for the merchant's son. He was surprised when I said I would go there.

“Why do you want to go to such a dangerous prohibition? ”

It's not hard to be surprised. It's because Grossglockner is a human, a Maverick, and a place he never dared to go.

“Grossglockner is home to the dragon Schwarzetoifel! No one has returned from the land of the humans, the Mages, and the nobles, so please take care of yourself! I don't want your precious life to be in vain because of my son, either. ”

He's a pretty conscientious guy. Most of them would do anything if only their own son could live, but they were worried I was going to die.

On the other hand, it sounds as if going to Grosse Clockner is crazy enough. However, even the wisest scholar in the empire and the rumor-sensitive Demon King do not yet know.

That Schwarzetoifel is about to die of old age.

It was originally so dangerous that no matter how close I was to breathing, I planned to go after natural death later. One, I'm going to hit Makta while I get the elixir.

Moreover, there was also the confidence that came from getting the top position of a man who had neither blood nor tears. I didn't have to fight him myself.

I was going to push the undead away for days until he died. I'm going to beat him so hard, I'm going to stab him in the sword just before he dies. Ljublagna, a prestigious family sword after Pfalz, is enough to pierce the rigid scales of Schwarzetoifel.

Well, what's wrong with the dragon slayer? After the kids have gone through so much trouble downstairs, the one who puts the sword through the slash becomes the Dragon Slayer. This is how all princes are called Dragon Slayers.

I don't know, but I bet that's a lot of experience for Maeryong Schwarzetoifel, huh? The original EXP is proportional to the reputation of the enemy. The notoriety built by Schwarzetoifel for centuries is unimaginable.

I was going to eat it all.
