Main Character Hides His Strength

86. Merchant King of the Back Alley (1)

Kim Sung-cheol prepared a few preparations before going to the port to Ahh, home of the League of Merchants.

The biggest change is the change in style.

Possessing a gene from the bone to the Dandelion, he wore a plump, buttonless top worn by merchants instead of the old jeans, shirts and shabby coats he wore for a long time, large trousers and boots that climbed to his shins, and pressed on a plump, wide hat.

Kim Sung-cheol grabbed his face and tried something.

Ooh-ooh-ooh.

Soon after the strange sound of twisting and twisting bones resounded, Kim Sung-cheol became a completely different man.

“W-what? How did you do that?! ”

It was Bertelgia who surprised me more than anyone.

However, Kim Sung-cheol's unchanging voice reassured her.

“It's me, Bertelkia. Don't be surprised.”

“How did you do that? That?”

“It's a hobby I learned before. ”

“Catch? Where did you learn to do that? ”

In Bertelkia's question, Kim Sung-cheol opened his mouth with a shallow sigh, reminiscent of his past relationships.

“There was a best assassin among my old colleagues. ”

“The best assassin? Baek Young?

“You don't want some lowlife to kill the best assassin." The man, Shamal Laziputt, was a true assassin. ”

Kim Sung-cheol usually despises assassins, but there is only one exception.

Shamal Ragifoot.

A bishop of the Assassination Bridge, he has succeeded in several legendary assassinations in the middle of the battlefield, helping the rebels to triumph.

In addition, he was also the motivator of the Summon Square, who influenced Kim Sung-cheol in many ways.

“This metaphor was taught to him. ”

“Hmm. Looks like you used to have a lot of friends back in the day. ”

“Well, sort of. ”

“Then why didn't you use this technology even though you knew it was good? ”

When asked by Bertelkia, Kim Sung-cheol replied with a look of reason.

“I'm uncomfortable.”

There can be no better reason for Kim Sung-cheol.

Of course, I wrote it once.

In the Summon Palace, Kim Sung-cheol used a metaphor when he revealed himself in front of the High Priestess of the Iron Knights who don't even remember his name now.

And I felt... dirty and uncomfortable.

But now is the time to suffer some discomfort. Kim Sung-cheol is in a contract with Hornico.

Of course, if you carefully examine the terms of the contract, it is not a problem for Kim Sung-cheol to go to the port as a contract.

His duty is to Nimpes and his neighbours. The harbor for Ahjussi, which takes only two hours by wagon, is well interpreted as nearby.

It should not be obvious that he described such things.

A man the size of Horneko would only place such ambiguous provisions in his own interest.

In case something happens, call Sung-cheol Kim to the front of the harbor.

However, despite this reason, Kim Sung-cheol did not want to cause any problems.

The result is a face that has changed.

“So, let's go, huh? Who are you?”

Derha enters Kim Sung-cheol's room and looks at Kim Sung-cheol in surprise.

It's such a perfect transformation.

Kim Sung-cheol, satisfied with his transformation, boarded Derha's wagon with Bertelgia.

In the wagon, there was a man sitting with a pile of scribbles and spices of God who refused to accept Kim Sung-cheol.

A merchant with a hooded face in plain clothes.

When Kim Sung-cheol asked Derha, Derha said he was his assistant.

‘Looks like she has an assistant, too. ’

Kim Sung-cheol felt strongly like he had seen that merchant somewhere, but he didn't think much of it.

“That chick, by the way. How are we doing? ”

Vertelgia suddenly opens her mouth in her pocket.

“If you're in Marrakia, you don't have to worry. ”

“I'm not sure yet. ”

“He's not that good of a bird. ”

It is true that Marakia is often foolish in front of Kim Sung-cheol, but it is only foolish because of Kim Sung-cheol.

If there is no such thing as Kim Sung-cheol, Maraki's bizarre behavior will be wrapped up in the king's horoscope.

It is also true that there are a few stupid corners, but it is also true that you have a good mind for what you say. It won't be a big deal if you leave it alone. I was a little bit bigger than when I was first born.

Anyway, the wagon departs with Derha's roar. And less than an hour after departure, the wagon reached the border.

After a vague inspection, the wagon crossed the border and entered the territory of the Merchant Guild.

“Hmm. You're farming here, too. I thought Merchant Cities weren't built for farming. ”

Bertelkia looks out the window and says, While there was nothing planted yet, Bertelkia could see farmers plowing their land vigorously.

“This will be a field for planting vegetables. It's grain that comes from a distant place, but it's hard to bring fresh vegetables. ”

The man in the corner who was silent opened his mouth.

But it's a familiar voice.

Bertelgia stares at him in surprise and asks.

“The King of Nymphas...? ”

The man who heard her laughed, took off his hood, and revealed his face.

Just as Bertelkia had noticed, the man was the King Dichter of Nymphas.

Kim Sung-cheol was not surprised. It was one of the choices that came to mind when I first saw him. I just let it go because it's annoying and uncomfortable.

“I'm sorry to startle you. But I really wanted to try it! An enemy of the world I admire... or an Imperial officer! ”

Kim Sung-cheol said in a bold tone, looking at the heater with two fists in his excited voice.

“How did you get here? Do you know Derha? ”

The question answered Derha, who was in the carriage seat, walking the small curtain made of cloth.

“My brother-in-law, the King of Nimphas. ”

“I see.”

I thought I saw a blurry blue eye somewhere, but it was Hornico's bloodline.

When Kim Sung-cheol heard that, he put his hand on the face that was twisted by the method and turned it back to its original state.

Horneco's daughter is a leader. What good is a disguise anyway?

He looked at the carriage seat and said,

“Does the Governor know about this? ”

“No, you don't. Even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to care. It's your rush hour. ”

Sung-cheol Kim nodded his head and this time he looked at Dichter, the king of Nimphas.

“Does it matter if the king empties the kingdom? ”

The question scratched his head with a bitter smile.

“There... won't be any problems. There's nothing too small to call a kingdom, and there's a queen in the palace. ”

When the word "Queen" appeared, Kim Sung-cheol glanced over the side of the stables and pulled out a scroll from the Soul Depot.

Silencer.

Kim Sung-cheol, who closed the deal, told the king.

“How did you marry that queen? ”

After the story of the queen, Dichter's face became visibly darker, staring into the carriage seat with frightened eyes.

“I silenced him. So I won't be able to hear you. ”

“Th-that's it? ”

“The Queen's behavior at the dinner was problematic. I felt offended even though I was an unwelcome guest. ”

“I'm really sorry about that. But don't get me wrong. I love her, and she loves me. ”

As soon as he said that, Bertelgia popped out of Kim Sung-cheol's pocket.

“You don't seem to like it very much. No, to be honest, the king hates it."

Heavy footprint following a sudden appearance.

The face of the dishwasher lost control and left behind complex emotions.

Kim Sung-cheol thought that Bertelkia made a mistake, but he didn't point out. Where would I hear it if it wasn't the same opportunity now? One more drink, Kim Sung-cheol also listened to Bertelkia.

“That's what I thought. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said so, observing Jigsy Dihitter.

The face of the heater revealed all kinds of agony that could never be expressed in a word.

It was a matter of knowing how hard my mind had been.

After a long period of heavy silence, he stared into the air and began to talk with a voice of sadness.

“Frankly, the queen doesn't like me. You wouldn't even be in the castle. The prince of a small country like mine got married while mating with the prince of an ancient kingdom. ”

Hearing that, Kim Sung-cheol thought to himself.

‘According to Marrakia's information. ’

Dichter continued:

“Even the same prince, the Ancient Kingdom and I had a completely different way of life. because the man had grown up eating the wreckage of the soul and had been taught a great deal by the sovereign masters of the kingdom, while I had to grow up watching my father be beaten by the merchant guild in a humble place called the Kingdom. ”

One of Kim Sung-cheol's eyebrows raised, but he didn't open his mouth.

“Well, as time went by, there was a huge gap. because one became the continent's next hero, and the other was just a scarecrow with a crown that might not be taken away at any time. ”

“I'm aware of the scarecrow. ”

Bertelkia once shot Dish in the face.

Kim Sung-cheol was still interested in other parts because he was a political figure.

“Take the crown? Who wants the crown? ”

On Kim Sung-cheol's question, he stared at the side of the wagon seat and said in a small voice.

“There's a rumor that my father-in-law, Governor Horneko, wants to wear the crown. ”

“Hornico?”

“Yes, he had no intention of becoming king, but recently he changed his mind when he was threatened by a political change. They wanted a symbol of power that would never be shaken under any circumstance, a crown. ”

Although he was still saying this, Kim Sung-cheol was able to find out that he was surprisingly clear and had his own thoughts.

‘This guy. You must not be very stupid. ’

He sighed and continued.

“Well, what can I do? Even if I knew the truth, there's nothing I can do. I've been doing it for a long time, and maybe that's why. I have become a passionate supporter of the Imperial Cabinet. ”

I was revitalized by the depressing eyes of the disheartener.

He stared at Sung-cheol Kim with bright eyes and said in a cheerful voice.

“Unlike a pathetic man like me, you stood alone. Status, honor, friendship. Throw it all away. ”

“ ……. ”

“And you proved it, didn't you? That you're right. solely by his own power. ”

Although it was a strange thing to say, Kim Sung-cheol found out why the young king without any merit worshipped himself so much.

Tuk-tuk.

Kim Sung-cheol felt a slight vibration.

Derha in the carriage seat is tapping on the window.

Kim Sung-cheol, who sensed it with vibration but did not make a sound, opened the silencer and walked the curtain directly.

“What's going on? ”

“Why are you so late? We're almost there. ”

“I see.”

The short talk ends here.

Kim Sung-cheol eyeballed the story and told Dihitter that it had come to an end.

He nodded helplessly with a face still full of depression.

“But I really love her. I fell in love at first sight. That's as true as it gets.”

When Bertelkiah saw it, he approached Kim Sung-cheol and whispered quietly.

“Poor thing...”

It's the same idea as Kim Sung-cheol.

After a moment of thought, he nods and pulls a sword out of the spirit vault.

The shimmering archipelago of the Human Empire.

It was used for cutting meat, but it was originally paid to more than the Imperial General.

Kim Sung-cheol gave it to his fan, Dihitter.

“A small gift from me. ”

“W-what's this? ”

Dichter's eyes widened.

“This sword was given to me by the Emperor when I was appointed as a member of the Empire. You deserve a reward for sticking with the story. ”

“Oh... I can't believe you gave me... such a rare and... rare item...”

Tears welled up at the edges of the bladed dhither's eyes, and his hands trembled like thornbushes.

You must be really impressed.

It was a bit too bad, but Kim Sung-cheol felt much better because he was so happy.

“Thank you so much! ”

The king of the small country, who received the sword, greeted Kim Sung-cheol violently with his head.

No matter how small a king may be, a king is a king.

Kim Sung-cheol raised his back and said in a slightly puzzled tone.

“The king can't do this. ”

“Hmm...”

Bertelgia was looking for Kim Sung-cheol and Dichter, who had an uncomfortable planting.

“Thank you so much! ”

He thanked again with a strong voice.

Meanwhile, the wagon was suddenly entering the world's largest trade port through the port entrance to Aah.

Kim Sung-cheol opened the window.

The seagull sounds coming from shortly, with a thin ocean breeze.
