To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 188: Boring Man

It is said that Casa, who served the first King Wodon on the Casa hill, was looking over the king's capital, Tenkasi, from this hill and touring his thoughts on how to develop the king's capital.

Different digits of mansions were erected on this Casa hill. The property has a party room that can accommodate 10,000 people from libraries, museums and theatres. The number of servants craps a thousand. It is such a grand mansion that no stranger to the king's capital would doubt he would guide us here as the royal palace of the kingdom of Oudon.

Owning this grand mansion is Value Volvi Knox, the finance minister of the Kingdom of Oudon, who is now said to have the most power in the nobility of the Kingdom of Oudon.

To give you an example of how powerful it is, there are many forests and rivers from Casa Hill to the King's Capital, but Finance Minister Value made him build the main road to the Royal Castle at state expense. There is no way that such a ridiculous utility can pass at the expense of a single individual. But Finance Minister Value passed the budget, and none of the civilians and nobles serving the Royal Castle can complain about the matter. Its witchcrafted utilities will be handled by a breath-taking vendor of Value Finance Ministers. Those who lived in the Wang capital called that path, which was built without considering its cost-effectiveness, "The Path of Values" and "The Path of Golden" from Kingdoms, a construct that disliked the greedy aristocracy.

"Yeah, it's abominable. This is how concessionary I am, Yarkop."

Value Volwy Knox, the finance minister who concluded his talks with Yarkop, sits in the chair vigorously in one of the mansions, which is being called "Golden Palace" by the civilian population. The chair was made from spiritual tree material even more precious than the spiritual tree traded for a high price, and the chair was excessively colored with jewelry, as if to ruin the mysterious, pale green color luster of the spiritual tree.

The chair of the Spirit Tree is not frightened to accept the weight of a value exceeding one hundred kilograms, and returns a rebellion as good as it is to the value. But I hear more groans than under Value's feet.

"Ugh..."

"The furniture doesn't talk."

I have furniture for a foot stand called Ottoman. But it wasn't Ottoman that Value put his feet on, it was the elf girl who crawled on all fours. In an elf girl who is not even old enough, there was some impossibility in supporting the obese value foot. To an elf girl who groans from bitterness, Value grinds her back with her heels of feet. The elf girl puts tears in her eyes, but she endured eating up her teeth to figure out what would happen if she raised her voice here. Has Value's anger healed over the appearance of an elf girl who endures pain, or her harassment of the elf girl stopped.

If you look indoors big enough that you're likely to be able to hold a monster, there are slaves waiting to be hailed as subhumans such as elves, dark elves, dwarves, dwarves, beasts, dragon men, etc. Subwomen vary in age from toddler to mature, but every woman is beautiful and dressed in the same made-up clothes. Slave collars were worn, although they were processed into beautiful decorations on the neck. The rank of the Demon Ball embedded in the collar of the slave the Value keeps is a surprising 4. If you are a regular slave, you will be a Demon Ball such as Rank 1, Rank 2 in the Lower Adventurer Class below Level 20, Rank 3 if you get above the middle, but there is no way that the slaves here will stand on their arms alongside the Middle Adventurer. Because Value simply wants to boast to the nobles around him.

"Didn't Yarkop come on board with this suggestion"

A man dressed in a uniform worn by a civilian working for the Royal Castle calls out to Value as he sends a scornful gaze to his slaves.

"Mm-hmm. That old, marchian plain territorial issue rubbing between my country and the kingdom of Dano, I said no despite the fact that you said you could call from me to Your Majesty"

The Plains of Marchia, on the border between the Kingdom of Oudon and the Kingdom of Dano, are a very important place in the defence of the eastern part of the Kingdom of Oudon. Bilateral claims have been bumping into each other over this territory for years, and I couldn't even find a thread for a resolution. Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Dano, for its part, had not even built a single building, not to inspire the Kingdom of Oudon, aside from military installations in the Plains of Marchia.

"Though you're old, that means you're the former head of the Twelve Devils Slaughter. I didn't know you weren't getting any on this suggestion."

"Enough about old age. And when is the item pouch you were talking about coming to me?"

Value drinks up wine in frustration. Soon after, a Dwarf girl pours wine into an empty glass.

"Don't worry. We ask you to go to Dragon's Fang about it."

"That's it. How many months has it been since you asked me to do that" Dragon Fang "thing? In the first place, I guess the timeless (...) item pouch really exists? If" Dragon Fang "and what they brought home was just an item pouch, it wouldn't have happened."

"Rest assured. Rather, it would be more convenient for 'Dragon Fang' to fail. Anyway, in the midst of a lowly adventurer, only pride is one end of the line. If you find out that 'Dragon Fang' has failed, you will surely come out with the 'Dragon Brigade' alliance lord Leo Vanillum. Leo Vanillum is an S-rank adventurer and Satou is a young man who has just been promoted to B-rank. It's obvious which one wins if we bump into each other.

Plus, it's an untimely item pouch, but it's definitely information from the muscles. Undoubtedly, Sato and his crew have an unknown item pouch. Mass production is not a dream either if you get the item pouch that the satos have and have the alchemists under Value examine the method. What if Master Value helps you after you sin and capture Satou? Saitou, who was helped, would wave his tail and join Value-like's subordination. Creating a guilty plea for this is going on with me. Oh, you had the beast hunters on their way out a long time ago to turn down the news as it was. Let's make sure Satou does the same. "

"Hmmm...... You've never lied to me before. But..."

I can hear the knocking on the door when Value is tilting her neck because she's not convinced by the man's words. When Value gives permission to enter, it is the general maid who is not a slave who came in.

"Master, Master Lustig is here, how would you like it?

"Victor. I think it's about the product you asked for. All right, get through to the reception room."

"Yes, sir."

Without losing sight of the slaves of Value's samurai, the maid exits. Here, the gentler you are, the harder you see. You can't work without making your emotions rough and indifferent.

"Dear Value, why don't you check with Victor about the untimely item pouch?

"What!? You know Victor too!

"Yeah, he's one of those who's approaching Satoh, too. You probably know about the timeless item pouch."

"Hmm, still a man with an excellent sense of smell of gold"

Victor passed into the reception room comes in with a value and hugs him. It's only painful from the value, such as being hugged by a man, but I forgive him for some reason against Victor. This was what scared Victor. He opens his heart without realizing it.

"Dear Value, I am listening! They already have more power in the kingdom of Oudon than the king."

"Wahaha! Don't say a few things. Because I don't know where or who's listening?

"Things you don't even have in mind. With Master Value's help, you will be able to grip the featherworms as easily as anyone who makes noise will crush them. So, where's Jen?

Victor smiles, but looks down on the man who refrains behind the value to deserve it.

"Ooh. This man is a civilian of the Royal Castle, and he uses a lot of things among my factions. You'll get more chances to see me with you from now on, so make it better."

"Nice to meet you, Victor Lustig. My name is Francois Arnaldi. Master Value introduced me, but I am a civil servant in Wang Du. As you can see, I'm a young man, thank you very much."

Victor observes every step of a man named François Arnaldi.

"Dear François, no need for such a tough greeting, etc. Feel free to call me Victor about me.

Nevertheless, from what I've seen, in the mid twenties, it must be a wonderful gift to have Values take care of it at that young age. "

"Victor, even if you try to buy something expensive that you brought François in praise, it doesn't work that way."

"Hach, have you noticed"

"Don't look at me sweetly. More than that, Victor, you know an adventurer by the name of Satou?

Even if Sato's name popped up more than Value's mouth, Victor's attitude saw no fine dust or change.

"Ooh, ooh. Did you know about Value and Satou?"

"Um, so be it. Do you know anything about the item pouch that Satou has?

"When it comes to the item pouch that Master Satou has... Ha ha, Master Value wants an untimely item pouch, doesn't he?

"I still have it!!

To the word I didn't know when I came out of Victor's mouth, Value accidentally stood up and vandalized his voice.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Well, there must be very little you know besides me, but that's Value."

"Good flattery! You didn't get it!?

"No way! Master Satoh, but this is the inside hand strong. It never opens my heart. If you can get an untimely item pouch, haha. Dragon crystals that are said to grow only in dragon excrement, Immortal Xia, which is said to extend its life by ten years if eaten, springs in woods inhabited by giants, giant tears, etc. You can bring back in the best possible condition objects that all begin to deteriorate the moment they are collected. How much wealth does it generate by selling them at a discarded value? Not to mention, if you can find out how to make it, you can take away one of the two great rights to the item pouch and potion that Alchemy Guild has monopoly on. How many countries can you buy that benefit or just think about it and get excited about it without being old?

In Value's ear, Victor's words barely came in. An untimely item pouch exists. That's all you need to know. Get an unknown item pouch by any means and figure out how to make it. When the manufacturing method cannot be clarified, you can capture it without any suspicion on Satou and make him throw up the means of obtaining it and the method of making it. Even if the opponent would be a B-rank adventurer, he can do it. I've never done what I wanted before. I have used any hand to get what I want, and the woman that I want has made me say things to her financial strength, and I have taken them from her as much as I can from those who are obsessed with gold.

But there's just one thing I didn't get in value. It is the throne. I could not allow myself, the oldest family member with history, to serve a king who draws the blood of civilians by pulling out a group and having honorable blood among the nobles. Hardly anyone, such as him who defies himself. If so, it was Value's dream - no, it was ambition - to get all of the Kingdom of Wodon and to be king himself.

"Dear Value?

"Ugh, I'm sorry. I've been thinking a little bit."

"Haha ~ n. Did you even think about becoming king yourself?

Victor's remarks, as if he had stolen his true heart, surprise the value of what he does not give to attitude.

"But that's Value."

"About what?

"It's François. We cannot do it inside, given the relationship between the Kingdom of Oudon and St. Jardalk, such as taking the person of St. Jardalk as a civilian. We admire the breadth of this Victor Value's nostalgia!

"Dear Victor, am I mistaken about something? I'm a born Wodon born in King's Landing, aren't I?

For the first time ever, François, who has listened silently to the conversation between Value and Victor, speaks of his own will.

"François is right. Don't let this person get away with playing with things like being from Jardalk."

"Huhaha! Don't you have to hide it? Lady François is certainly from the Kingdom of Oudon, which is also a distinctive pronunciation of the King's Capital, but you've worked too hard, haven't you? I'm aware. There's not much I can do. And..."

Victor stares at François with his usual frigid grin. Victor's smile, a merchant, was even somewhere aggressive.

"When you first greeted him, you held him by the chest, didn't you? Whoever holds the position of High Priest or higher of St. Jardalk shall be given a medal over the Pope. You must have unconsciously held it down so you wouldn't let it hang even though you were in your clothes. Oh, you were also reacting to the word St. Jardalk. Holy Nation (...) I dared say St. Jardalk, not Jardalk, hah. Oh, oh? Lord François (...), I'm kidding. My joke, didn't you mind? You failed."

Afterwards, François, who gazed at Victor with a strong expression, and Victor, who had concluded his business talks with a clearly upsetting value, walked alone on the road leading from the mansion to the Wang Capital. It's not usually possible for a big merchant like Victor to walk without a squire on. This was also Victor's obsession. Whether it's a place you know is dangerous, you get in on your own. Although it is Victor's saying that doing so builds his guts and prevents his opponents from drinking. A servant who serves is not an accomplice. With the exception of eight cents, the supreme power of the free state Harmeln, Victor is at the top of the list. With all that status, you walk and negotiate freely, so from the standpoint of escorting you, you can say it's extremely troublesome.

"Dear Victor, I don't want you to do that."

Only Victor walks on the wide road made by the taxes of the people; nonetheless, the voices of those outside Victor were heard. If Victor looked around, there were petals dancing around him.

"Oh? That voice is Daribol. Why are you here, Master Benjamin's escort?

"I can't refuse to let Benjamin bow my head when he asks me to say hello about Victor. Now please understand your position. to Value's mansion, going alone, etc."

"Shut up. Whenever and wherever I do business, it's my freedom. This is what Benjamin is allowed to do."

"............ but also consider my position. If anything happens to Victor, what should I say to Benjamin and open it?

"That's what you think, not how I say it. Still one of the Hermel Eight fighters? Pity."

"Dear Victor, isn't that too much to say? Still, it's been a pain in the ass that Value is after Satou."

Victor's leg stops as he walked slowly. It was the flames of anger that dwelt in the eyes.

"Daribol, even I can't summon Master Satoh or anything like that. Since when have you been so great?

Even Daribol, who has dived through numerous battles and slaughtered numerous powerful enemies, is likely to be subdued by Victor's outgoing intimidation.

"also, sorry"

"... well, fine"

"So how was the value?

As Victor never got angry about the value, Daribol left it at the call.

"Dear Value...... He was boring, too. Compared to the dazzling charm of Master Satou, no matter how dressed Master Value will interest me. Oh, I want to see Master Satoh soon. We'd like to meet and talk to Master Satou as long as time permits."

Not the usual frigid attitude. Petals continued to dance uncommonly around Victor, speaking in an excited manner.
