< -- 166 times: volume 7 - chapter 6. Confusion of the Horn Empire -->
The Egg Merchant Guild.
The merchant guild, which traveled mainly in the Horn Empire, was originally robbed by nomads and threatened with bankruptcy.
However, he was recently acquired by the Caroc Merchant Guild and barely made it out of the country, and now he's making his way back to the Horn Empire for Caroc.
The head of the proceedings, Hangzhou Yuan, is a knowledgeable merchant in the Horn Empire who has tried to restore his former customers.
And as his bodyguard, a talented young man, formerly known as King of the Mercenaries, was accompanied by a beloved knight by Patrick Condol and Carroc.
“Something doesn't feel right. ”
A man in his late 20s muttered an egg.
“What's wrong? ”
Patrick wonders.
“Yes. Do you remember when I went up to the Horn Empire and got plundered by the nomads? ”
“Of course.”
“I thought the nomads were becoming more violent than usual, but now the air is worse than ever. Every tribe made a deal, for some reason, they didn't look good, and something big seems to be happening. ”
“Your intuition as a merchant. ”
“Oh, yeah. It's not that grand, but I've been to the Heavy Horn Empire so many times, I can feel this dangerous aura right away. ”
“That's unusual. I heard that veteran mercenaries on the battlefield have a sense of danger. Perhaps the leader of the Egyptians has reached the point of becoming a veteran after all." ”
“Haha, thank you very much. If I was such a great man, I wouldn't have gotten robbed and pillaged in the first place. ”
“A lot of times it grows after a big crisis. ”
“Haha, enough with the shyness. Anyway, it's weird that half of the food and necessities that the Lord has entrusted to us have already been sold. ”
“Strange?”
“Yes. I'm sure the Horn Empire is always short on food and necessities, and I'm glad it's profitable to sell at five times the price, but it's strange that half of it was bought by nomads." I'm looking for more food than usual... ”
“Food is a must for war. ”
“That's it. I wonder what happened to the nomads. ”
“Don't worry. I hired ten veteran mercenaries, and I will protect the safety of the Egyptian raiders. ”
“I'm glad Lord Condol told you that. My men are doing it one by one, so there should be no problem in any crisis. ”
There were nine men who were former employees of the Yuan Merchant Guild, and they were young from their early 20s to mid-30s. They also shot a good bow and seemed to handle the spear a little.
He also hired 10 veteran mercenaries who could use a bow, so he didn't seem to have any safety concerns.
“Then why hire only mercenaries with bows? ”
“Nomads are good at archery, fast horses, and even stoning. We can't fight them unless they're specialized in ranged attack. ”
“Even the stoning?”
“Yes, you'll see it with your own eyes. ”
“I hope the day doesn't come when I see it for myself. ”
As I walked along the road, I was able to reach my destination.
A section of the Tallacs.
It was one of the nomadic tribes, the largest and most powerful of the dozens.
And one of the main accounts of the egg.
The Tallac people have all recognized the eggs.
“Hey, egg! Long time no see!”
“Haha. Good morning, Mr. Benjen. ”
“Why didn't you come last year? ”
“There was a big problem. ”
The egg came into the village, greeting many people.
Soon, a few men emerged from inside the compound. They were all big, and they were armed with huge meters on their waist. Patrick was a little nervous because he felt like a reversal warrior.
The egg whispers to Patrick like that.
“There's no need to be so vigilant. And hide your weapon with your cloak. ”
“Oh, yes. But they don't hide their weapons. ”
“The only ones who carry weapons are the chieftain's guards. They're the SS. ”
“Oh, right. ”
Then Patrick hides the Bastard Sword from his waist dancing with the cloak.
The guards approached the egg. There were seven of them.
“Welcome, Mr. Yulan. The Chief is waiting for you. ”
“Yes, I will. ”
The group moves with the men's instructions.
Upon arriving at the large tent, the men said,
“Only Mr Yulan may enter. ”
“I'm with you. ”
Patrick steps out.
The men resolutely told him that.
“I can't allow it. ”
“I see no chieftain but Mr. Yulan. ”
“I am responsible for protecting Mr. Yulan. We appreciate your patience.”
Patrick doesn't lose either.
The men's eyes became dark.
“We made it clear. ”
“I made it clear. ”
“Listen quietly when you say something nice, Leaden Boy. ”
“I'm not afraid. ”
That's how Patrick dealt with it.
The men finally took their hands to the meter. Patrick also walked through the cloak and revealed the Bastard Sword.
It was just a matter of time before the fight started.
“Shut up. Tell them to come in, both of you. ”
You hear the voice of the man walking inside the tent. Then the men of the SS take their hands off the meter in panic.
Patrick also hides Bastard Sword in his cloak again.
The men said to Patrick,
“Lucky you, kid. ”
“You'll know who was lucky one day. ”
The men get angry again, but the way is clear as a whistle.
The egg and Patrick enter the tent together.
“Hey! You're here, egg. ”
A man welcomed them both.
“ ……! ”
Both Yuan and Patrick were surprised.
The man who welcomed them in the tent was a giant, two-metre tall owner. The enormous body has muscles that sit like iron armor, reminiscent of the steel tower itself.
He sat on the bed naked.
Furthermore, two Nausicaan women were involved in the settlement. One woman was rubbing her shoulders against the back of her breast, and the other woman was kneeling and caressing his lower back.
Living in a tent filled with pleasures and recession, he welcomed the eggs and tricks without hesitation.
“Have a seat. ”
“Oh, yeah. ”
Until then, the egg wakes up and sits down with Patrick.
Patrick feels uneasy because he doesn't like that attitude.
“There's a handsome fellow. I hear you've got some nerve. Are you that good? ”
Patrick ponders for a moment how to react. If I did wrong, I could be banished or killed against planting.
‘But I thought you said the stronger the Horn Empire was, the better the nomadic people. ’
After accompanying you, Patrick recalls the advice he gave the egg, and opens his mouth.
“At least those who call themselves your bodyguards are confident of winning. ”
“Kuhaha! Good. So, are you sure this Tyrant Tallac will win, too? ”
Hegeman rubs his chest and asks. Patrick nods again.
“Maybe.”
“Kuhahaha!”
The Tallac chieftain, Tyran Talak, laughs loudly as the beast roars.
“Heheheh heh, I would have told you to fight like old times! ”
Chief Tallack suddenly slaps the cheek of a woman who caresses her underneath her mouth. The angry woman quits her caress and retreats.
His penis makes Patrick feel even more aggravated by raising his head to the sky.
“We can't fight like that right now. ”
Chief Tallack reaches out his hand, and two women on the bed reach out his clothes.
Chief Tallac was a horse in trousers.
“I don't want to damage the octopus in this body. ”
The Tallac chieftain, dressed in all his clothes, laughs like a beast in a circle.
“He's going to be king. I am.”
Eulan and Patrick were horrified by what they said.
What do you mean, "King"? ’
Patrick doesn't seem to be in his right mind in many ways.
No matter how ambitious you may be, you will never be king in the Horn Empire, ruled by the Emperor himself.
Even the nomads couldn't say that even if they behaved their own way.
Chief Tallac smiles at the two surprised people.
“Did I surprise you too much? Well, that's fine. Let's just take a look at what we brought. ”
“Yes? Oh, yes! Here you go."
The egg showed me the paperwork, scrambling. All of his goods were recorded in the documents.
The Tallac chieftain, who took a look around, simply said a few words.
“I'll buy them all. ”
“Yes?! ”
“How much will it cost? I'll pay you in Redina. She won't like the local currency. ”
“Well, I'll just have to cut it all and give you 50,000 Redina. ”
“I'll give you 60,000. ”
“ ……?! ”
The eggs were a series of horrors. I called out 50,000, but you added 10,000 more?
Soon, however, the egg calmed down and carefully asked.
“Is there anything else you'd like? ”
“There is only one condition for you to hit 10,000 more. Food! Bring more food. I'll buy you everything. ”
“Oh, I see. I can't be happier as a merchant than this. I'll bring more grain in half a year. ”
“Good. I'd like grain that can last as long as I can. I like dried meat, too. ”
“Yes, but……. ”
The egg asked carefully.
“You seem to have grown in distribution without me seeing you. Maybe you've got some time to spare. ”
“Ah. There are people who are grateful to pay you to be king. ”
The Tallac chieftain slaughters as he struggles.
After realizing that there was a conspiracy behind it, the egg remained silent with a stiff face.
I didn't want to know anymore.
No, I wanted to know how it would affect my future ascent, but I thought I'd look harsh if I tried to find out.
“Anyway, don't worry about the money, just get the food. Yulan, you've made a lot of deals with our tribe and you've given us a chance to touch a lot of money. ”
“Thank you."
“Okay, then get out of here. ”
As Chief Tallac snaps his hand, the egg rises from its place. Patrick gets up, too.
As he leaves the tent, the egg sighs heavily, sweeping off his chest to make sure he's relaxed.
“Phew! It's been a long time since I've been this nervous. ”
“What the hell is that guy? ”
“I'll explain slowly. Let's get the math done and get out of here. ”
“Yes.”
The group handed over all the grain and vital supplies they brought and received 60,000 Redinas.
After the settlement, the group hurries out of the Tallac camp.
“Chief Tyrant Talak was originally a bit harsh, but he wasn't that violent. It wasn't like that at least two years ago... ”
“So that's how people change in the short run? ”
“Yes, I think someone's encouraging him. And I think it's probably somebody who's after the landscape. ”
“After school!”
The egg spoke with a serious face.
“Do you remember when Chief Tallac offered us 60,000 Redinas? ”
“Yes. Even a lord of the Kingdom of Leaden can't afford that kind of money. How could you be so kind...? ”
“And it was all Redina. ”
