Price of Management

“How much do you owe the family for transportation and storage? It looks like this money will continue to be difficult for a while, so try to preserve your territory. ”

“Yeah, that's great. ”

Brother Arthur hugged me.

I felt a warm body temperature in his arms.

Arthur was not happy about money, he was happy about me growing up this prosperous.

I'm so... so lucky to have one more life in my life. I can't believe I can feel my family's love again.

The next morning.

I moved early. Because there was something I had to do before I left.

“Hansen, how about buying a Medicine Storage? ”

“I bought two unused Medicine Storages for 90 Redinas. ”

“Are two drugstores 90 reds? You're cheaper than I thought.”

“The pharmaceutical industry is tough these days. ”

“So it must be hard for your mother's medicine dealer, too? ”

“Yes…. But it's a good thing I make money. ”

I have an idea.

“Managing the Medicine Storage should be a consignment operation. Hansen, I'll put your mother in charge of the Medicine Depot. How about a month in Redina? It's an easy task just to manage the storage state of the Saxel Leaf. ”

“Really? That's great! ”

It was Hansen who was very happy.

It was two birds because I could give Hansen's mother a job and relieve Hansen's troubled hands because she didn't have an employee.

“Are all the herb fields playing right now? ”

“Yes. Saxocells were harvested in the summer. ”

“What kind of herbs do you plant in the fall? ”

“Sometimes used as a hemostatic red flute or supplement, it is planted in the fall and harvested in spring. Usually during this time, we plant a lot of red flute. If I make it as a hemostatic agent and sell it to a mercenary guild, I get a good price. ”

Ah, there's Thorma.

Torma is a yellow and round crop that is good for the body and is often fed to the sick.

However, it is not sold well because it is so tasteless and difficult to raise.

“I'd like Thorma. ”

“Thorma?”

“Yes. We're running low on food, so there won't be any war for a while. Of course mercenaries don't have any money. Tell the Herb Farmers to plant a three-to-seven ratio of Red Flute and Torma. ”

I don't have anything to eat. Do you want to sleep in?

And next year, that dreadful plague will hit the continent. Torma, the food supply, sells well.

Even if it doesn't taste good by then, Torma will be sold for good health.

Of course, Sachsel will sell all the quantities I have.

“I understand.”

“Pay me what you need, and come back and put it on the books. I'll pay for everything." ”

“Yes, shorty. ”

Then the settlement was settled.

Let's get going.

“I'll be back. Take a good look. ”

“Don't worry. ”

“Don't you worry? I'm leaving you in charge. ”

Hansen's distorted face. Hahaha!

I whistled my way out.

* * *

The Royal Army led by Baron Hanzdek left with dozens of carts led by mules.

I was part of the group.

I stood side by side with Baron Hanzdek, who had a very stiff personality as a soldier.

It seems to be somewhat human.

Relationships are not very broad because they are principalists, intelligent but not Godly and inflexible. Well, the soldiers must really hate him.

But the way to make friends with soldiers is immutable!

“One of the mercenaries I hired was from the Horn Empire. I heard it from them...... ”

Speaking of the Horn Empire's army, Bird of Hanzdek is interested.

I knew it!

I spiced up some of the stories I heard from the Dean Mercenaries.

Eventually, I managed to pull a smile out of the bastard Hanzdek.

“Fool, but I feel sorry for the commander, too. How embarrassed that a new recruit with connections was attacked by a great Ogre. I wonder if I can command calmly if I'm attacked by an Ogre at night. ”

“Of course, ogres are scary. But it's not impossible to defeat a hungry Ogre if you keep your wits straight. ”

In fact, I was.

“Have you ever fought an ogre? ”

Hanzdek asked me a question and I told him about my experience as if I had waited.

Dean Mercenaries: A story about catching ogres with cis

“Ugh…. ”

Barely getting to the tree where the ogre was buried, the clumsy Hanzdek bird was amazed.

Other soldiers around me were also distracted by my story.

After 72 years as a merchant, I have become a master.

“I can't believe it. ”

“Do you want me to show you, Noum? ”

-Yeah.

A rising gnome from the ground.

Bird of Hanzdek is flawed.

Well, I was surprised when the gnome first rose from the ground.

“Earth Hand. ”

A hand of dirt protrudes from the air.

“Wow!”

“That's animisty. ”

“Isn't it magic? ”

Everyone looked at the hands of the dirt curiously.

I wave my hands, and the hands of the dirt wag like a joke. I burst out laughing.

I summoned another hand of dirt to give myself a smile, like a pair of scissors.

This kind of skill is very simple.

I became quite familiar with them thanks to their ability to use animosity.

In particular, Hanzdek was able to talk often with me.

Given his clumsiness, it was a remarkable improvement.

In the evening, I decided to camp and spend the night.

I had already planned where to camp, so I didn't need to find a suitable encampment.

You must be thorough because you're a soldier.

The soldiers are busy moving, setting up their barracks in a flash and preparing dinner.

It was tasteless bread and soup, but it was a military diet, so I ate it quietly.

After that, I chatted with the writer Hanzdek because there was not much to do until I went to bed.

Hanzdek told me his story.

He was the third son of a family member, like me, who joined the Royal Army and started as a Cactus and was promoted to Deputy Commander of the 7th Legion.

‘Just like a soldier. ’

This person may be able to advance to the commander without being overwhelmed.

Even though the highest ranks, such as the Royal Army Commander-in-Chief or the Monarch Defense Commander, cannot rise without connections.

* * *

The next day we continued marching, and on the eighth day we arrived at the capital city of Lerdon.

tall, tall buildings.

Sophisticated people.

Bustling streets.

When I stepped into the streets of Ledon, I became overwhelmed. It's been a long time.

Nothing has changed.

Hanzdek sent his minions to take 35,000 sacks of Wheat.

And he told me.

“Let us go and see His Majesty. ”

The king you've been waiting for!

“Yes.”

The city of Ledon was divided into two walls, a fortress and a suburb, and the fortress of the central woman was once again protected by a high fortress.

A royal palace inhabited by royalty. It was a place I had never set foot in before.

Because I was a little nervous.

However, after a five-minute walk with Baron Hanzdek, I became accustomed to the atmosphere of the palace and lost my tension.

It was because I realized that people live everywhere.

Other environments and places where other people come to live are all the same.

What's so special about a royal palace? You don't have to be particularly meaningful and scared.

How long have you been walking like that?

We arrived in a room similar to the tangential room.

There was a comfortable couch made of buffalo leather and the round table was decorated with a red rose vase.

There were all kinds of beautiful paintings and sculptures on the wall that made the eyes delight.

“Your Majesty will be back in about 15 minutes. Rest well."

The maid in the reception room politely said.

She was less beautiful than Sis. By the way, only noble maids who work in the royal palace are elected, so they are not compared to noble maids with lords.

That reminds me of Sis.

You must be learning 3 circles in this magical guild.Should I visit you sometime? Yeah, that 'd be great. There was stuff to buy in the Magic Guild anyway.

I was thinking a lot of things, and the door opened.

Reflexively, Hanzdek stood up all of a sudden, and I woke up, too.

A young blonde beauty accompanied the maids and went inside.

He was the current king, Eric Lerdon.

“Greetings from His Majesty, the Great King. ”

Hanzdek and I greeted each other with examples.

By the way, I thought you were going to be fancy, but I just met you.

This is convenient for me.

“Deputy Commander Jack Hanzdek of the Royal 7th Army has completed the transport of 35,000 sacks of wheat from the Kunt writer, as instructed. ”

Bird of Hanzdek reports in a faithful tone.

“Is everything okay? ”

“None.”

“I see. Well done. I'll give you a full day off, so go back and rest. ”

“Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Baron Hanzdek pays his respects to Erik, then looks me in the eye and leaves.

Now he is king and my king.

Eric sits down and gestures at me.

“Have a seat.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

When I sat down, Eric told the servants.

“Stop going out and call them. ”

The maids leave without a sound of footsteps as soon as someone falls.

Ha, it's really well educated.

But what about them?

“You don't need to meet the baron's title and small estate in person to settle this matter in one letter. But do you know why I have to tell you this? ”

“I'm not sure. ”

You're not mad at me for coming all the way to Birkhoff Kunt before, are you?

Or are you pissed you didn't sell 35,000 sacks of wheat for cheap?
