Price of Management

“The quantity is exactly 40,000 sacks. Check it out.”

“I'm sure you've confirmed it. ”

I was ecstatic to see a sack of wheat packed full of vast armories.

I have an enormous amount of wheat sacks in my hands just ahead of the Great Plague! What could be more solid than this? With this, families and territories can protect themselves from disasters and make a lot of money.

“I've been worried about how you're going to buy so much, but luckily, next year there's a good chance of war. The wheat price will run. Sell it then. ”

“I'll think about it and decide. ”

“Yeah, I'm sure you'll figure it out. You can work for me if you're screwed. ”

“My father said he didn't need a mortgage... ”

“Who works in the Territory? ”

“Arthur. ”

“Then my word is law. ”

“ ……. ”

Returning to Max's Resting House, Dean's group already stocks the table with all kinds of delicious food and drinks. There were over a dozen different foods, but I didn't see any fish. Hahaha.

“Hey, Duke! Come on, have a drink! ”

“Do you only have one drink? Max, get all the beers! ”

“Deposit!”

Max was excited and brought a whole barrel of beer from the liquor shed.

We filled our glasses with cheer. Of course, Sis aggressively attacked the chicken without even thinking about beer. Cheers, drinks, chatter and cheers... Rex breathes a whisper without resting.

By the time the spirits are too high, Dean opens his mouth.

“I'll never forget losing to Confucius Caroc. ”

“Huh? What? Like someone who's about to leave. ”

“I plan to leave in two days. In the Northern region, monsters will make a victory in winter, so I'm going to look for work there. ”

“Eeh? I've made a lot of money, so why don't you take a break here and spend the winter? ”

I was disappointed and asked, but Dean smiled.

“Winter is a time when you don't have much work. It's the perfect time to recruit members of the mercenaries. I have a lot of money thanks to the Confucius, so I'm going to save about 20 of them for good use. ”

“Mercenaries?”

“Since you've decided to be a mercenary for the rest of your life, don't you think you should become a large mercenary? ”

“By the way, I'm the deputy director! ”

Rex was excited to help.

“You're really moving toward your goal. ”

I admired Dean. When he decided to live as a mercenary, he invested a lot of money to learn Bressing and now he wants to run a mercenary squad. A person with such a clear sense of purpose and drive will surely achieve his dream.

In my eyes, Dean was a vessel capable of becoming the head of a large mercenary army due to his calm and leadership in everything. I also had the judgment to avoid danger.

Now, let me use the wisdom of the old man in a long time.

I took 50 Redinas out of my pocket and gave them to Dean.

“I'll see to the funding for the founding of the mercenaries. ”

“No, Duke! ”

Dean and Lex rise in surprise.

“If you succeed, you'll help me. What do you think?”

“Haha! Great! If the Prince asks for help, I will definitely give you strength. It's all thanks to you. How can you not protect your loyalty? ”

Dean says yes with a big smile. We'll have to see how this promise works later. You can count on it, Dean. My eyes, trained in 72 years of merchant life, are quite accurate.

“But is cis coming with you? ”

Sis shakes his head after just finishing eating the chicken.

“So Sis is staying here with me? ”

I was happy to ask, but Sis coldly shakes her head again.

“Then where? ”

“Magic Guild.”

Oh, my God!

He seemed to want to go to learn 3 circles. A wizard would crave a higher level of magic. With more than 900 Reddinas, it should be enough to save a teacher and learn 3,4 circles.

But I was disappointed that Sis was leaving. I have to say goodbye to such a pretty and cute girl. What kind of men would be disappointed? I wanted to be able to be more friendly and talk openly.

Chet, you can't.

I have to make a gift before I leave.

When I feel bad about Sis, the beer is more appealing. I pour out a glass full of wine. The cold feeling on my neck is amazing. Hot spirits rose from the depths of my heart, making me feel good.

We drank a lot, and it wasn't until 2: 00 in the morning that Max and his wife started begging for liquor. Why are you guys whining about raising sales?

The next day I woke up at 11 o'clock. Nowadays, it's a habit to wake up at lunch. Morning humans are preferable, but that's a big deal.

Today's the day my father wanted me to see you. You're going to ask me to fight you, but I have to be prepared.

I wore a moveable long sleeve shirt and elasticated leather trousers after washing by the well and a troll leather jacket on top.

My beloved Troll Leather jacket, inspired by Master Goose. My father may be using error, so please take care of my life.

I had a simple meal and headed to the mansion.

As you arrive at the mansion, the soldiers' whistling sounds are echoing out loud. Training? Then it must be Arthur who's in charge of training.

Behind the mansion is a vast barracks that hold hundreds of soldiers.

On my way there, Arthur was leading the training as expected.

“Take the shot!”

The archers shoot their bows as Arthur gives the order. A hundred arrows pierced the straw puppets.

“To the heavily fortified infantry! ”

A squadron of heavy infantry marches forward, gathering with shields and spears. The soldiers' movements were swift and full of thievery and morale.

“Charge!”

“Waaaah!”

“Charge!”

The infantry screams and makes swift strides. A spear raised like a hedgehog pierces and crushes the stuffed straw with an arrow.

“Excellent.”

I complimented Arthur as I approached him.

“Are you here?”

“Yes, my father wants to see me. ”

“I know. Take this. ”

Arthur suddenly gave me a bottle of healing potion.

“Why healing potions...? ”

“You'll need it. ”

I felt anxious about Smurfintine. Oh, my God, I have to kill my son.

“Well done, brother. ”

“Yes. Take care. ”

This guy, he's always making bad noises.

I suppressed my anxiety and walked to my father's training ground. Of course, healing potions were precious in my arms. I hope I don't have to use this. But my father tends to flip his eyes when he gets excited in a fight.

I rang the bell on the ceiling before entering my father's private training ground.

“Come in.”

“Yes.”

Unlike yesterday, my father was wearing a half-plate mail. Holding the helmet in my left hand was like a knight about to jump into the battlefield.

“Do you know why I called? ”

“…… I know. ”

Father laughed in relief.

“This father has fought many other knights, but he has never fought a Wizard or a Spirit, so he wants to gain experience this time. Cooperate.”

“Yes, let's not push it too hard. ”

“Don't worry. That's why you prepared healing potions in advance. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm kidding. I'll try not to get hurt. ”

He said that, and he pressed the helmet.

With a silver glittering half plate mail, his heavily armed father pulled out a long sword from his waist. There's a clear sound with Shah. Gus-inspired, I think.

“Noum.”

- Did you call him?

The gnome rises from the ground.

“I'm going to fight my father from now on. ”

- Who would want to hurt you? I'll teach you a lesson.

I stroked my head because I was adorable with my unusual yelling gnome.

“No. Fight on an unharmed line. It's called a duel.”

- A duel?

“Yes. Fight better against each other on a line that doesn't hurt each other too much. Besides, my father is a very important family to me. ”

- You can't let him die, can you?

“Yes.”

My father, who was staring at him, opened his mouth.

“You're quite familiar with the spirit. ”

“Spirits are friendly with spirits. ”

“Pass it on to your spirit. You don't have to take care of me. ”

I took it from my father's long sword, and there was a blue glow. Error.

- He doesn't need to. Can I kill him?

“No. ”

Gnome tilts his head as if it were strange.

“Here we go!”

At that moment, my father moved. You take a big step, then swing the long sword as you narrow the street in an instant.

“Huff! Uh, Earth Sphere! ”

Norm drops his shovel, and a spear of the earth rises from the ground and attacks him.

Kuang!

My father destroyed the spear of the earth with an error. But we have succeeded in stopping the charge.

“Earth Sphere! Earth Sphere!”

I continued to take a step back, attacking my father with the Earth sphere. Every time my father broke the spear of the earth with an error, the noise rang out faintly.

My father is a master of Expert, and I've only been a master of animosity for a month. The moment my father gave me access, I lost.

Okay, then you should use the tactics you learned when dealing with Ogres. Timing is all that matters.

My father rushed in after me, striding again. Right now!

“Earth Hand! ”

I swiftly grabbed my father's leg with the hand of dirt.

Kuang!

As heavy as the weight of the half-plate mail, my father fell to the ground.

I made another Earth Hand to hold him from getting up. My father was faster than that. He rolled around on the ground once, avoiding the hands of the dirt and raising his body.

“Phew, you're good. Very funny. Very. ”

“Oh, Dad? There was blood on his forehead. You're not mad, are you? ”
