I stopped being a warrior and became the strongest

[You don't look strong enough.]

“Haha..”

Maybe it's because of Doren's seemingly helpless appearance.

When Haina asks a nonchalant question, Doren smiles powerlessly.

“How I and my son lived thanks to you, but life as a merchant... I may not be able to survive back in my village. ”

Yes?

If we go back to town, how hard can it be to survive?

Is the town full of enemies?

“The merchant guild I founded didn't just take my money. The Merchants Guild was able to put together the money that the villagers had invested and my money. But now things are almost useless, and I'm going to die by the law of blood. ”

The Law of Blood?]

“The merchant who lost money is as good as dead, because money is treated like life. Haha..”

Doren smiles bitterly and looks down at his sleeping son in his arms.

“I fear death... but it grieves me more than anything to leave my young son behind. ”

[Shouldn't we run away like this?]

Of course, I know it's wrong to run.

But first, shouldn't Doreen live to see it?

“I can't do that. If I run away, my friends will die as guarantors for me. ”

And what about Doran?]

Doren can't answer any of Haina's questions.

He struggles to say what he's been chewing on for a long time.

“I'm sorry about my son... but at least I have to do everything in my power to stop him from going to Doran. ”

[· · ·]

Let's see Doreen tie everything with her life.

Haina thinks again.

"A guarantor... perhaps Doreen was destined for this ascension..."

If you hadn't met the Markers, Doren's adventure might have ended successfully.

Now it's gone.

"Right now it's my job to save Doren's life..."

After all, money is the key.

If he had the money, Doren could save his life.

‘But... where can I get some money... If I had a little bit of water left... or if I sold a camel, how much would I get out?' ’

Haina sought many arches for Doren's future.

Just a moment of silence.

Whoaaahhhh

Beyond the crooked dunes, camels follow scattered sand winds.

Soon you reach the Blue Oasis and the settled villages around it.

“Dad, it's the oasis! ”

“... I see. ”

Unlike Doran, my God-given son, Doren didn't look so bright.

Soon they slowly enter a village near the oasis.

“Come on, it's not every day! That Snow Wolf fur is considered precious in the North! Take a look and go! ”

“As you can see, this bow is a longbow used by those elves! You want me to test it? Now, if you pull this bow...”

Everyone in the town sells goods that have been bought in each region.

I was raising my voice to exchange things.

“Wow! Dad! Look at that! He's breathing fire! ”

“... I see. ”

Are they curious about their wives?

Doren smiles helplessly somewhere looking at Doran, who is a god and acrobat.

He immediately pulls the camel's belt and moves on to his destination.

Whoo-hoo!

Soon the camel stops moving.

Doren looks down from the camel at the building in front of her, holding Doran in her arms.

“Hurry up and move it! We have to get everything to the warehouse before sundown! ”

Pebble

Loaded camels and merchants were busy moving inside.

Doren looks around like she's looking for someone.

Later.

“Doreen! Welcome! ”

A chubby man presses the blue turban, sees him and rushes toward him.

“Aaron...”

“Hello, mister! ”

“Oh, yeah! Doran! You were so much bigger than before, you almost didn't recognize me. ”

Doren and Aaron greet each other for a moment.

“How are things these days? ”

“How's that? Checking in the quantities, managing the goods... That's what warehouses do all the time. Then why do you have a death prize when you arrived so well? ”

“Haha, the statue of death...”

Doren slaps his hand.

Aaron looks at him with his eyes wide open.

“We've known each other for over a decade. Pretend you're Chuck!”

“Well...”

Doren couldn't say what she wanted to say.

Aaron stuffed his mustache and turned the subject on his heels.

“If it's hard to get out now, let's have a drink later! More than that...”

Aaron was looking down at parchment.

“Hey! Get the pelts out of the shed! Yes!”

He shouts at the workers.

Soon, the workers put their well-groomed hides in front of them.

“Here are the hides of the northern beasts you asked for. How's it looking? Starting with tanning, we've managed to keep all the processes quiet! Hahahahaha!”

“It's... neat. ”

“Right? You can't sell this to Demibeasts now, but you can touch 100 gallons! ”

His belly twitches with Aaron's fabulous smile.

“Now let's take a look at your stuff! Nothing like a pearl necklace, right? ”

“Aaron... you know what?”

Doren hesitates for a long time and then takes a hard time talking.

“I don't think we can make a deal. ”

“Hmm? What do you mean you can't?! I've been running around unpacking things for you, and I can't do it! ”

“Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well." Only me and Doran could save our lives. ”

As if Doren was throwing up, let's make a quick speech.

“Well...”

Aaron kicks his tongue and looks at him with sad eyes.

"I never thought I'd meet such an evil..."

Despite the relatively infrequent looting of the Markers.

But it wasn't unusual.

It was just bad luck.

“Still, I'm glad you survived... I'm glad... Things are good, but nothing's more important than human lives!" ”

‘But for a merchant, goods are more important than lives...’

Aaron comforts Doren without letting her out.

He whispers little to prevent Doran from hearing.

“It may not be comforting for me to say this, but at least think about your son. You look very clever with those flashy eyes, but you'll grow up to be a big man. ”

“... Thank you. ”

“He certainly looks like you, but Daisy's eyes... hmm...”

Aaron's mouth shed the name of his dead wife in the hands of the Mages.

Doren's face became stiff.

Then Aaron clears his throat.

Remove a few of the stacked hides and load them onto Doren's camel.

“Aaron, that's...”

“Take it, though it's only a few. Don't worry about the money. I'm spending it on my savings. ”

Even though Aaron was a warehouse keeper, he was a merchant.

Even though they are friends, the merchant who prioritizes profits is merciful.

“It's not free, so you don't need to look at it with those eyes. This is an investment in Doran, an investment. ”

“.. investing? ”

“Yes. Who knows if your son will later become a great merchant, or a great emperor to reclaim this desert? Hahahahaha!”

Aaron practically patted him on the shoulder.

Doren didn't say anything to thank you for seeing the little sincerity in the jokes.

“Thank you, sir! ”

Instead, Doran waves her hand, smiling slightly.

“Hahahaha! What a guy. ”

Aaron strokes Doran's head.

Only Doreen whispers small.

“It won't cost you much, but at least you'll be able to buy some of the stuff that came through here. ”

“ · · · ”

“If you return to the village empty-handed, you will die according to the law of the desert. Find a way to survive. ”

Goods carried by the Doren Merchant Guild.

It was Aaron who knew better than anyone that Doren's money was mixed with the people of villages.

He did not spare advice for Doren.

“Even if we're from the same town... Why are you helping us like this? ”

“Even though I'm not a drop of blood, I'm a person! I'm sorry it's the only way I can help you.”

“... Thank you, thank you. ”

Aaron shrugged his beard.

Doreen shakes her head and steals the tears from between her red eyes.

“If Doreen is who I know she is, I'm sure she'll wake up again. I believe in you. ”

Aaron darkens Doren and rides him on a road camel.

“Remember! We can do anything if we stay alive! ”

He's waving at the faraway Doren, the rich Doran.

Doreen also raises her hands and gets out of the building.

[You have a good friend.]

“I guess I wasn't so wasteful after all. ”

Doreen smiles at the hides Aaron gave her.

Of course, selling the hides Aaron gave me was hard to even buy a business base.

However, the small consideration that a friend showed in the world where money was above all else, was enough to warm his heart.

[The most important issue right now... is the undertaking of business.]

“Yes. Even if you sell leather, it won't be easy to fund. ”

[If you dispose of a camel on a leather, you may find a minimum base cloth.]

When Haina, who was thinking about, remembered.

Doreen opens her eyes wide.

“How could the apostle...”

She expressed her opinion that she looked more like a warrior than a merchant.

Doreen was just surprised and embarrassed.

Warriors and merchants are completely separate worlds.

[I used to sell things. The fun of going up one by one from the bottom was pretty good.]

Haina smiles at her old memories.

[It's just hard to make money in a short period of time, even if you get rid of everything you have... hmm..]

“Haha... Not unless there's a miracle going on." I'm sorry, Apostle. ”

Suddenly, Doren's apology tilts her head.

Yes?

“I can't do anything with the apostle's help like that. ”

Doreen, keep your head down.

Haina shakes her head with a gracious smile.

[Don't say that. If you don't end up failing again, a miracle will come true. Miracles come only to those who diligently strive, and He never turns away from those who diligently strive.]

“It's him.

Tang Khan.

Doren recalls a strange but magnificent name.

He looks at translucent Haina and thinks:

‘.. yes. I have the Tang Khan Apostle and the God Apostle with me. Don't be afraid! We have to stay sharp for Doran! ’

Maybe it's because of Haina's consolation.

Doren looks at his heart, shaking loudly.

‘The apostle is right. I have to try so hard to hear Tang Khan's eyes, won't he look at me again? ’

The thought of putting it all down is gone.

Suddenly, Doreen's eyes turned dark.

"And my son, Doran, for the sake of his poor father, even for the sake of his miserable son, I must rise again!" ’

“I will try for the apostle who saved me and my son. ”

[That's the spirit.]

Haina smiles at Doren with a burning fist.

Then, she remembers something and makes a silly look.

[Do you want me to give you a winning spell?]

“Spells? ”

[Yes, the spell. It's also a spell to get closer to him.]

Doren opens her eyes to Haina's words.

"How can you be closer to Tang Khan? ’

“What is this spell? ”

[Try extending your arms up first.]

Doren listened to Heina without a doubt.

You can see your arms extended straight up.

[And now shout it out loud! Tang Khan! Like this.]

“Oh, I get it. ”

If we can be closer to miracles, what can we not do?

“Tang Khan! ”

[Shout louder. so that he can hear you scream.]

“Tang Kha 'a'an!”

Doren raised her voice and shouted.

Tuk

A large, wide white hide suddenly falls in front of Doren.

“Th-this is...”

Doren switches hides and hyenas with a dazed face in the middle of nowhere.

Haina says.

I told you, it's a spell to get closer to him.]

“Truly. Truly.”

Doren repeatedly shouted the name of Tang Khan.

Carefully examine the leather falling in front of him.

“Oh, my God, oh, my God, what...”

Doren's expression hardens while looking at the hide.

‘This... is a Top-Quality Yeti Hide!' ’

Even the Giants of the North are difficult to catch. Yeti.

Even at the size of the hides, it looks like the hides belong to at least the head of the clan.

If you sell this... 1,000 gallons, maybe more.

Doren tightly hugged her sleeping son, thinking she could regain consciousness.

I was moved for a long time and barely opened my mouth.

“By the way, apostle, I wonder if he didn't say miracles only come to those who try.”

When Doren cautiously asks, Haina smiles.

[I forgot one thing. that he would never turn away from anyone who was willing to try. Now, let's go make some money.]

To the end of her words.

Zec

JooJoon recognizes that his vision has returned to its original location.
