11-18 The salt!

"A carriage of carriages in Togo. Pedestrian, you're Roland. You don't recognize the one you're taking with you. Are you new? '

With information from the surveillance system Heshen, Old Man knew that the merchant Roland had arrived as soon as possible.

'I am a merchant who brings something that cannot be self-sufficient in the village of Kaina. Securely escort them so that there is no danger.'

On that order, Rand S secretly escorted Roland to the Hermé River. Of course Roland at the time doesn't know that.

"Ah! Here comes your uncle!

Roland waves back when he sees a girl waving from above a bridge across the Hermé River.

"That's Hannah. You're always fine."

And the carriage leads to the bridge.

"Well, it was a tree before, but now it's stone built? You look sturdy."

Roland let the horse walk with such solitude. Hannah went to inform the village that Roland had arrived.

"Executive, what is that?

Roland saw the newcomer, Vote, pointing fingers. And round your eyes.

"What the hell?

It was Jen's Castle.

It was late afternoon when Roland arrived, so business was to be the next day, and that day, as usual, he would stay at the village chief Geebeck's house.

"What, Eric, you didn't come!?

With such a voice, Barbara was visibly dismayed.

"Sorry, he's busy as a tech chief, too. Please understand."

"I... think we should go out to Alban... but I don't want to leave this village..."

Barbara whines with bumps, Geebeck embarrasses her like that.

"Come on, now's not the time to think about that, is it?

And Geebeck resumes his conversation with Roland. Where Jen is now talking about this village as a leasehold.

"Ha, ha, Jin from this village..."

"Yeah, for the other 50 years, that's the owner."

Geebeck explains Jen's accomplishments in disguise.

"Did that happen... I was in the capital and I didn't know it"

Because it is an event within the royal castle, it is impossible not to go into the ears of ordinary merchants.

"So, this is the building you asked me about earlier, and that's what Jin calls a 'castle'."

"Is it a castle... That's right or what you say... Sounds like Mr. Jin..."

"If you want to stay, I'll talk to Acting Butler A."

"Yes, no, fine. If you'll let me stay here, which I'm used to."

It was Roland who said so hastily.

After that, Roland said something that bothered him.

"So, actually, there's only one thing that's troubling you."

"Hmm?"

And Roland revealed that the salt had been stolen and could no longer be sold.

"You don't have salt... that's troublesome. The rest of the salt is getting scarce at home, too. I think it's similar in other houses."

"I'm really sorry. After this, as soon as I get back to the store, I will use the horse to deliver the salt."

He deserved to be called flat-headed, and Roland kept his head down.

"Did they steal salt?"

Rand C, who was intercepting the conversation through the window of the Geebeck residence, is reporting to you.

"Yes, from what I've heard of the conversation"

'Okay. I'll figure out what to do with the rest here. If anything happens again, please report it. "

After you shut down the correspondence, old man goes around thinking.

"That's the harassment of the (...) Earl of the Example. I didn't think I'd let you steal it as well as buy it up. Should I have kept an escort with Mr. Roland at all times too...... I'm still sweet too. Either way, it doesn't change how you deal with it. '

And old man gave instructions to his own mobile terminal, Lao Zi.

Lao Zi headed to a warehouse in Penglai. There's literally enough salt to sell. I mean, I've already sold some.

"It wouldn't be good with algae salt, would it? Ordinary salt will do."

Salt made from the sea water in Tatsumi Bay had now accumulated about 100 tons.

In order to protect it from moisture, it is divided into 24 gold containers, divided into 100 kilograms. 24 Gold is a material to be treasured because it does not rust in normal use.

I carried one of those out.

Place the container in a bag made of warcraft leather and shoulder it.

The old son headed straight for the transfer gate (Warp Gate). Of course, the destination is the village of Kaina.

The village of Kaina was just midnight because of the anticipated transfer of time. Everybody calm down, there is no one (...) awake.

"I've been expecting you"

It was Butler A who greeted Jen's house, the old boy who came out of its work basement. Both Lao Zi and Butler A are starting consumers (stealth).

"The plan is as explained earlier. Where's Mr. Roland's carriage?

"Yes, this way"

Butler A stood first to guide the old boy.

The horse was connected to the stables in the backyard of the village chief Geebeck residence, with a wagon next to it.

I keep my luggage on. Not when it comes to inadvertence.

The guardian saint (Guardian) of the village of Kaina, set by Jen, was beside him because Gong was blinding his eyes.

But there's no way I'm going to say anything to Old Zi and Butler A, your terminals.

"Please open your luggage gently."

Ordered Butler A, Laoko, who turned the front of the carriage, goes on to give instructions.

"There must be a few empty salt kettles"

"Yes, there was"

As instructed, it was Butler A, who was searching for luggage for about a minute, but found four salt kettles.

"Enough. Then transfer this salt..."

The old boy transfers the salt from the container he brings to the salt pot. Butler A also helps.

The patron saint (Guardian) Gong kept an eye on whether anyone was coming.

In about three minutes, I finished transferring the salt I brought to the four salt kettles. Tightly sealed with leather paper to finish the work.

I decided to keep the remaining 20 kilometers for Jen's Castle.

"This will do. And then put this salt pot in the deepest part of your luggage."

Butler A pushes the salt kettle into the back of the luggage. The other baggage was arranged exactly as it had been and care was taken not to leave any signs as if it had been left behind.

"Enough. It's a carriage, so there's a slight deviation. Now, let's pull it up."

It is still midnight. And as the moon after Jomtien illuminated, Lao Zi went to Penglai, and Butler A returned to Jen's house.

"... oh, you're so weird"

The square by the village chief Geebeck mansion will be this time the shop.

"Managing Director, I need to sell other products anyway......!!

When Roland looked at you, suspicious that you were out of your mind to say it, Vote stood with a salt pot with a lid on it with paper.

"What's up, Vote?

"Me, executive director! This salt kettle, it contains salt!

"What?

"That's not all! Three more pots, depending on the weight, seem to contain salt."

…………

Roland had no idea why.

Of the salt for 50 salt pots I brought, 23 sold in the town of Charles, 17 in the town of Gohohoho, and 5 in the village of Toka, and 4 of the remaining 5 were bought by soldiers everywhere.

It's clearly on the books. And this is the only one that I have secured was stolen last night.

"... where did you come from?

"Executive Director, isn't that nice! This means that the people of this village will have a step-by-step!

Brain-weather Vote lines. It makes sense, but as a merchant, I'm concerned that my income and expenses don't fit.

"Managing Director, it's business anyway."

Voice of Blame Vote. And the villagers gathering here and there.

Roland, too, began to prepare the merchandise after what was troubling him, forcibly switching his head to business.
