Episode 235: The Power of Gold

"Tsk! Is the troublesome sidekick still in the way?"

Caesar was throwing the knife in his hand at Zymood at the same time he appeared.

Zaimoud plays the knife with his dagger and immediately tries to slash Alicia.

Let me do it!

Caesar took a few coins from his pocket and threw them at Zymud.

"Are you imitating the [Alchemy King] here?" You've been hit in the head by a lot of plays, too. "

When I said it, Zaimoud felt relieved.

The gold Caesar tossed has been transformed into another substance, as he put it.

"Exactly what you said." The gold coin is a masterpiece created by the [Alchemy King]. "

It was a blue flame.

The suspicion that the flame was surgical came to mind in Zymud, prompting him to take evacuation actions.

Caesar slid himself between Alicia and the Zaimud.

"Ah, it's just a flame!"

"Yes, it's just a flame that reacts to the color of the flame." A little while ago, some of the golden deceased gave it to me. By the way, that was a good act, Zymood. "

Illusionist!

Zaimood asks you to throw up.

”Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

"I'm sorry I'm late, but I can't say I'm okay anymore."

There is a large amount of sweat pouring from Caesar's forehead.

I escaped the crisis for a while, but the situation remains the same.

There were three bundles of white clothes around Zaimud.

The demon king was inside. Even if you do it properly, you can't win on your own.

- I don't know what's going on.

Caesar...

And Caesar felt the warmth on his feet and jumped his shoulders.

"Oliga"

Olga emerged from the shadows at Caesar's feet with a slightly distorted expression.

While the Zymouds were awakened by Caesar, they must have moved from the edge of the wall using their magic.

"I will send you two to another shadow with my technique." Please, be safe. "

"Wait, you--"

"I will stop those demon kings here."

Olga said that, pulling Caesar and Alicia into the shadows, and at the same time stepping out of the shadows.

"Damn, where are you going to send me?"

"Do you think there will be a (...) extraction (...) while you answer, you dead money?"

"It's a healthy thing to still keep your mouth shut." But I don't think your technique will get you that far. --You must take down the [Shadow King] here! "

Saying so to the three of them in white, Zaimood returns his heel.

At that time, Alicia and Caesar's body completely disappeared into the shadows.

Zaimood, you must die here too.

Olga immediately attempted to launch an attack on Zaimud.

[Demon God] is still there. I don't think you can turn this situation upside down. "

But Oliga's attack was stopped by the white suits. In the meantime, Zaimood left the room.

◆◆◆

Alicia and Caesar didn't travel that far, according to Zaimoud.

The place is a chapel in the heart of Thessalis Royal Castle.

After going around some of the rooms, Zaimood stood at the entrance and raised his voice as he noticed the signs of people there.

“I know you are. Let's just give up and come out."

In the vast and dilapidated chapel stands the statue of a pure and poor angel, from whom there is no one to pray now.

"Whose shadow was it?"

A voice rose up from Zaimood's ear as he spilled a little and stepped into the chapel.

”Such a line is synonymous with revealing your incompetence, Mr. [Another Golden Dead]”

The voice was familiar to Zaimood.

The direction in which the voice was heard.

Behind the statue of a poor and pure angel.

And from there, I came up with...

"Thank you very much for your help the other day." You've reunited faster than I thought. ”

"--Show-Joule-Sherwood"

He was the [Alchemy King] who held the mask that he wore when he tricked the merchant at the Westtia Chamber of Commerce.

"Oh? You call me by your name?" It's kind of surprising. "

Shaw gives a small neck with a playful expression.

"If you have a grudge against the Windsor family, I thought you would call me by my real name." ― ― Zaimoud-El-Bardola.

"If that's better, I'll do it."

The politeness vanishes from Zaimood's tone.

There was hatred and joy in his face.

"You look good, don't you? I am the face of a joyful person who is blessed with the opportunity to clear up the grudges of old age.”

“Exactly. We, the Baldra family, have been waiting for this time.”

The Windsors and the Baldra.

Windsor and its predecessor, the Baldra Armed Merchants' Union.

There were two edges of decay that could not be cut.

That said, I don't have that much to resent.

"What is it now? You, the Windsor family, have just descended into ruin." It is of course a great sin to create Garde-Rim-Windsor, but in the first place, it was a sin to be saved more than anything else by usurping the position of my Bardola family at the time of the establishment of the nation. "

"Did you take it? I heard that when Windsor Shangguo was founded, the head of the first Baldra family first gave the former head of the Windsor family to Yuzu..."

"It's a farce. How could the Baldra family, who had long been bundling up armed traders, not be the head of state in a proper way?" That's because you and the Windsors plotted. "

It's short-circuited, isn't it?

Shaw gave another purposely troubled expression.

"Indeed, it was the head of the Bardola family who led the armed merchants." However, in the transition from the form of a merchant union to the form of a nation, the owner of the Baldra family, who thought that the Windsor family was more suitable in terms of leading the comrades as a nation, surrendered its position in the hope of success. At the time, the Bardolas and the Windsors had a very good relationship. ”

Nevertheless, Shaw continues.

"Indeed, it is true that you have failed that expectation." There is no excuse for that. ”

"Then don't put your head in this southern continent, loser."

"You're also an indirect loser."... I want to ask you one question. What are you trying to do now? Please tell me if I'm a loser, stupid, and ignorant. "

Shaw asks Zaimood as he plays with the gold in his hand.

Zaimood paused for a moment, but eventually continued with a “good” answer.

"After I take possession of Thessalis, I will unite the Southern Continent with this country's capital and force."

"Haha, that's an interesting idea." Do you think that's possible? ”

"I could. It was the [upstream section] and the [Demon King] for that." Curiously, Windsor's demise expanded the territory of Thessalis, and the remaining lands began to be inhabited by new sects divided from Thessalis. These are the dead of gold who are tired of being poor. "

……

"I am the most knowledgeable user of these people, the descendants of the Baldra family, who once led the merchants' union."

Shaw looked at Zaimood's delightful smile with cold eyes.

"-Money. In the end, people work with money. We need money to buy land, we need money to make weapons, we need money to get food for the day."

"Do you think all the people are like that?"

“That's exactly what I'm not going to say. But the power of human beings to live without money is well-known. Money accelerates everything. The most superior of all mankind's inventors is the monetary economy itself."

"... well, I won't deny it."

Shaw shrugs his shoulders after taking a small breath.

“That's why I use money to move everything. Your evil demon king, [Gard-Rim-Windsor], was sweet, but his philosophy was right. ― ― The (...) force of gold is (...) ten thousand (...) nobility (...)"

"... by resembling each other"

"I'm disgusted," Shaw added, pressing down on his forehead.

Well, maybe that's the order.

Sequence?

"A human being living in a monetary economy is a path of thought. How do people with money think, how do they fail, and where do they end up? You're like an Alchemy King. And I was a human born after that failure, and I was presented with a forced setback shortly before I got to that kind of thinking like you." Because history taught me that this way of doing things is a failure. "

Indeed, Gardo took a particularly bad approach among those who had that thought.

That is why, on the contrary, the failure was quick.

It is unlikely that a man with money will fail. Indeed, the power of money is great, and most problems can be solved.

However, Gardo, who rapidly had gold by the alchemy ceremony, remained with his accelerated desires and thoughts, and with the flow of history, he fulfilled the failure that was supposed to happen after many generations.

I think Shaw is the best teacher, for better or for worse.

“And your misfortune is that you didn't encounter an untouchable existence with enormous wealth.”

Merea = Mare. And Serious = Blood = Mooseg.

No matter how many mercenaries you hire to fight against them, no matter how much wealth you give away in your hands, you will not return them, and you will be a monster who will walk the path with strong conviction and the primitive violence that underpins it.

Zaimood said, "The power of human beings who live without money is very familiar." Can the same line be spoken in front of them?

"The power of gold is great. - But it's not universal. You just don't know it yet. Your failure is that you have stayed in this small country and sharpened your fangs of vengeance. If I had just gone to the outside world and not forgotten my part as a" merchant "who exchanged words and traded there, I would have been a little more thoughtful."

"The losers of the times. Sermons are disgusting before they have any results."

"... for your own good"

Yes, I was [Demon King] as [Windsor].

And as Zaimoud said, nothing has come of it yet.

So...

“Let's at least prove that your prospectus is out of place in everything.”

Saying that, Shaw spreads his arms.

Zaimood held the dagger in response.

Which one is more like an [armed merchant], though it's outdated--it's a duel, isn't it?
