To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 140: Merchants in the Free Nation of Harmeln

Hermeln, a free nation.

Surprisingly, there is not a single royalty, nobility, in this country. So who runs the state? The answer is merchant. State policy had been determined by only eight merchants to be precise. Each of the eight merchants was a merchant with supercrossbow-class assets, each with comparable financial resources to the other. These eight people do not have names or anything, but among the people, they were called Hamern eight cents, etc., because of their obsession with gold. But there was also a physique that prioritized profit over national sentiment, and the free state Hermeln was one of the most prosperous of dozens of countries.

Benjamin Gochester will be particularly famous among the eight Harmeln pennies. The only woman in eight pennies was one of the famous reasons, but more than that, her grandmother Elizabeth Gochester was famous.

Elizabeth, a one-time Adventurer Guild Receptionist, successfully dictates a number of leading adventurers and lets them deposit huge amounts of money into the Adventurer Guild. Other than that, it contributed expensive goods. No, he was the mistress of Harmeln eight cents. In fact, he was a royal of another country. Equally, many rumors were the ones walking along, but Elizabeth had a powerful temptation for her inherent skills as a powerful theory among them, Janelle Ms writes in her book The Seductive Witch.

In fact, not a single woman is among the spoken out adventurers of Elizabeth. Upon receiving the reward of letting the Adventurer Alliance deposit a huge sum of money, Elizabeth immediately resigned from the Adventurer Alliance and transferred to a merchant. Despite the lack of any back shield for a receptionist, the store grows while watching. The more I realized, there was no such thing as an unknown name in the free state of Harmeln.

Elizabeth's one son uses inherited assets and connections to become the right arm of Peter Breve, one of the eight pennies.

And Benjamin Gochester, Elizabeth's granddaughter, took the throne of eight pennies for only thirty.

Concon, the sound of knocking on a heavier door sounds.

"Go ahead."

Blonde hair aligned with shortcuts just because long hair is out of the way, a woman wearing good silver edge glasses responds.

"Dear Benjamin, may I call you? What can I do for a grandfather like Non? Oh...... just thinking is horrible"

As the old man enters the room making a big move, he tries to make fun of Benjamin. Only this old man, when it comes to the liberal state Harmeln Spread, will be able to take such an attitude towards Benjamin.

"Victor's report, you've seen it too."

"Victor! That man can't do this! Benjamin's body is a prospect to Noh's eyes!!

"You've seen the report."

"Ha ha! That report made me laugh! Was Yu Satou more careful than he was dealing with dragons? He's busy, too, isn't he? Because I'm curious to be called Lord Benjamin's right arm!

"Rufino, I'm telling you, you've read the report."

It was this old man called Rufino who made Benjamin a childhood caretaker and a teacher, but it was always at this rate because he liked Benjamin too much.

"Whoa! Holy shit!! He said that if he was an old Benjamin, he would have responded with a smile to his grandfather's play, but now this is the only way to gaze at him with an icy eye... I don't see him as interested in a grandfather like Noon anymore. Ahhh... Noon is going to die of old age!"

"Rufino"

"Yes, and I have my eyes open."

Rufino the boulder also knew that if he played any more witch mountains he would buy Benjamin's wrath. Rufino tells us in front of many of his men that he enjoys exploring the boundaries of how far it's okay to step in, but from those who know about Benjamin, it's not sanity shabby.

In fact, the number of merchants who bought Benjamin's wrath and disappeared is not enough for both fingers.

"Victor seems to have succeeded in connecting himself to Yu Satou"

"Sounds like it. I feel like I'm taking too much care of just connecting with one boy."

"In addition to Victor, there are a limited number of people who have been able to make contact with Yu Satou and connect the edges"

"There are about a few third princes of the Kingdom of Mobel, merchants of the Derim Empire and the Republic of Set, etc. Everything else fails.

Speaking of which...... haha! Warren kicked George's hands back, didn't he? I guess I was watching sweetly with silly thoughts that it wouldn't matter if I let gold say things anyway. Without even investigating that the other person is more troublesome than a dragon. "

"Looks like you're looking into Yu Satou."

"Ha ha! Dear Benjamin, even if I were old, I wouldn't imitate this rufino, the kind of idiot they lick whether they're babies or not!

Yu Sato, the more you look into it, the more monstrous it is. It looks like the City Cummer Adventurer Guild and Count Muss were diligently hiding the information, but if it's in my hands, this is the street. "

Rufino puts a report on Benjamin's desk, bragging about it, and sends his gaze at Benjamin for not telling him to praise him, but Benjamin at the time turns a blind eye to the report.

Apart from Rufino's usual witch mountain attitude, Benjamin highly valued Rufino's ability to fine collect, analyze and report the information he wanted without having to give instructions.

"It was also Victor's report, is it true that Necromancer magic can be used?

"Huh! I don't care what it is with Victor, but I'm pretty sure it is. That's not all, is it? We have also received reports of the use of Grant Magic, Black Magic, White Magic, Spirit Magic, and more recently, the magic of systems that we have never seen before, and even dragon magic."

Benjamin's eyebrows move slightly as he glanced through Rufino's report. Usually, it's unusual for Benjamin to have no emotions, but he reacts without thinking just about the unlikely content.

Rufino smiles happily at Benjamin's reaction.

"Dear Benjamin, don't be surprised to that extent. Yu Satou says he cares about that (...) spear heaven Joseph. I'm still not sure if this is true or false, but there are rumors that Joseph and I have slashed each other."

"It doesn't matter, like Rufino, the strength of Yu Sato, etc. All I want to know is why Mago Piet's shop, which was being cornered by Finance Minister Value Volwy Knox, has now grown to several times the size. Wouldn't you say that and this since you started doing business with Yu Satou"

"Ha ha, Master Benjamin, you're right. It is of no use to the merchants such as Non, such as strength.

The mago store was the main axis of the slave trade house, but now it's moved to the item store. If we continue to grow like this, we will reach out to other countries in a few years. Then Benjamin won't be a human resource. "

"I sent Victor so he wouldn't."

"It's a boulder. The boulder is Master Benjamin. Turn your right arm toward the 13-year-old boy in a situation where there is still only uncertain information. You're a craftsman that no one else can. You must be lucky with your wise eyes."

"Master Yu, if you could have contacted me, I would have heard from you."

"I stopped by the Adventurer Guild to go home. After this, there's a place to go."

After the Adventurer Alliance, Yu and the others headed straight to the Mago store. The reception room now was not the one previously used when purchasing Marifa, but the one Mago used when dealing with nobles and large merchants.

"Ho ho, I'm just curious to see where they're headed after this, but I guess the thing they were asking for would be better now"

"Are you ready?

"The quantity isn't as easy as the quantity."

"What do you think I got more stores for? I'm sure you have enough money to fund the store."

"Thanks to Master Yu, the funds are in luxury, but the training of people cannot be helped by money alone. If you grow it over time, more stores won't last for a few years.

Besides, Yu-sama's requested items are massive... clothes, livestock, furniture for hundreds of people, some of them plant seeds, needles, cloths like those used by the nobles for tools used by leading blacksmiths, silk. While you're running around using my connections, I'd like some more time. "

The items Yu asked Mago for were enough to live in for months if it were a small village. No matter how the mago was called the big merchant in the city camer, it wasn't something you could prepare.

"How long will it take?

"Right...... I want another month"

"No. I can't wait that long."

Even as a mago, he wanted to live up to Yu's expectations that he would pay all these items instantly. Obsessively harassed by Finance Minister Value Volvi Knox, Mago Shop, which was a disadvantage, is growing to several times breath back, also because of Yu's financial aid. Now Mago stores have undead created by Yu's Necromancer magic on guard for twenty-four hours.

Even a few days ago, the breathtaking people of the Minister of Finance tried to set fire to the darkness, but they are dead by the counter-attacks of the undead. According to information Mago had his men examine, the lonely blacksmith on the back street had been reported to have placed an even more powerful undead.

Yu and Mago stare at each other silently. Namari cheeks up the treat looking boring. Marifa waited faceless behind Yu, Momo peeking at something from Yu's hat gap.

"Oh, wait! You can't go that way!

"Don't worry. I know Master Satou."

"No, you can't! How dare you say no to anyone who comes from Mago!

I hear cheerful voices and rushing voices from outside the reception room. The door was opened with momentum as the mago turned its gaze on the door.

"Dear Satou, I missed you!

"Master Yu, who's this Jen?

"Victor, what can I do for you?

A man called Victor, who suddenly appeared, tried to hug Yu without breaking his frigid smile.
