To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 253: After the Auction

Thousands of thunder applause and cheers still couldn't stop ringing in the venue, even after the Suzzaties auction ended.

The figure is usually unbelievably enthusiastic with the noble and those who behave. But those who deserved that praise - there was already no figure of Value Volwy Knox, and the surrounding nobles and merchants were left behind to flee as well.

"That's right!

It is Emperor Delim who is laughing like Hihi, spreading his hands and feet. When the little old man laughed, the wrinkles carved into his skin became more pronounced.

"Did you come all the way from the Empire to Tenkasi?"

"There you go."

A dark elf woman picks up Emperor Delim's shoes and makes them wear them.

"Nevertheless, that is the seed of calamity befalling the fanatics of Jardalk. That flirtatious attitude resembles Joseph"

"Is it? Your Majesty the Emperor, if I may say so, compared to Joseph, it's a cute little boy."

It's not normal to be forgiven, such as his subordinates offering to the Emperor, but the escorts around Emperor Delim even seemed to be grinning, instead of exposing their offense to dark elf women.

"If you like it, why don't you solicit it"

"Hmm. Is that in the Seven Swords?

"We hear you defeated the Twelfth Death of the Immortality Order alone. I was wondering if that qualification would suffice."

"How about from you, the Seven Swords?

"I think I have personality issues, but I have no complaints about strength"

Emperor Delim tapped the floor lightly with the cane in his hand, and sighed loudly as he looked up at the ceiling.

"Are you inked by the current Seven Swords head Garth Doe? Twenty more years younger, and Joseph would be happy to ride the suggestion.

There is no temper or strength in the Derim Empire to turn the Lame Union against its enemies. "

"Joseph seems obsessed with that boy."

"Huh. You have a deceased son on top of you.

It is the nobleman's duty to marry a new woman and make a successor. If that's the case, then that's what women are for. "

"Your Majesty, Joseph has returned Pal's noble surname.

And now Joseph, unlike when he used to call his eyebrows brilliant, has short hair and is a distressed man. "

"Hikaru," he laughs, emperor Delim banging his wand twice, three times.

"So what? If the rest abandon Delim's name, can he quit the emperor? I heard good things. No."

"Just kidding. The situation of the Derim Empire should be known by His Majesty the Emperor more than anyone else. No royal family, no soldier, no people will admit that."

"Exactly.

Whatever you have left to say, even if you throw away the delim, you won't allow it around. When did you learn that emperors are not the supreme power of the country, but synonymous with slaves serving the country? And that's something I can tell Joseph. No matter how far you run, no matter how much you throw away your noble last name, it comes after you.

And now Joseph's in pain, isn't he? So what is it? It doesn't look like Han falls in love with Han at all times, what's in it.

Look, look behind you. "

Emperor Delim does not change the orientation of his body and urges Garth to look back with his neck. There were about ten selected Kingsguards among the Kingsguard divisions boasted by the Derim Empire. Every man is a sword, a magic, a soldier capable of slaughtering sand dragons with his fists, and they pledge their absolute loyalty to the emperor.

"I belong to the Kingsguard Division, but I am more interested in Joseph than the rest"

When Garth glances at the Kingsguards' faces, everyone turns away as if they had trouble coping.

"Pfft. Apparently."

"Yikes! Well, I don't even know what it feels like. If anyone knows the golden years of the Seven Swords that Joseph was leading, everyone will think of those days and get drunk. Anyway, I'm not one of them.

But that's a long time ago, too. Think of the Seven Swords now, though. Yeah. Everyone but you is a pain in the ass in the Duke's breath.

Two Seven Swords led by Joseph also died, and three left the rest on the occasion of leaving Joseph. You're not the only one left. "

The figure of Emperor Delim, who nostalgic for his old days, looked as if his little body had shrunk even further.

"I also thought that if His Majesty the Emperor were to leave, I would spare you some time"

"Damn. Then the Six Dukes will fight over the remaining Seven Sword seats. The Derim Empire is divided by the addition of bonkers. If the mighty Delim Empire were to split, the kingdoms would be delighted to lend a hand in contention."

The Kingsguards panic that it's not a joke inside, Garth laughing with Emperor Delim, who is delighted with shaking his shoulders.

The vast Delim Empire had over the years been dominated by aristocracy. The power retained by the nobles was such that even the emperors of history had to be concerned.

It was the current emperor Gamma Delim Ray Oakley who broke it. Uncooperative and rebellious nobles to the emperor were ruled by fear and power, using the emperors and Joseph, one after the other.

If that emperor were to leave, how much blood would flow in the power struggle? It was easy for everyone on this occasion to imagine that there would undoubtedly be a war first.

"The vast Delim Empire, but more than half of it is in the barren desert. But long ago it was greener land than anywhere else. Do you know how that happened?

"Your Majesty, anyone who lives in Delim knows. The three great demon kings, Boom Boom Dragon," The Moose of the Moose ", are sitting there."

"Yes, you're right.

Because of that abominable dragon, the climate changed, the water dried up, and the green dried up.

So, do you know why I'm sitting here?

Emperor Delim asks with a mean grin. Though it was a temporarily contemplated garth.

"I don't know that..."

The answer could not be derived from one's own memory.

"I've served the Delim Empire for over hundreds of years. Don't you see?"

Dark elf beauties were older than they seemed. I have served the Emperor for generations and supported the Delim Empire. But when it comes to age, the contents are one woman, even though she is a servant. I frown and look to Emperor Delim as I condemn him.

"No other intention, forgive me.

I wanted to know the truth about the rest. Joseph was the one who incited him to go to Moose. "

"........................ what?

Unexpectedly a missing voice leaks out of Garth's mouth. If it was meant to be, it's not the kind of attitude you would have towards an emperor. It's not strange to be praised by the Kingsguards around us, but the Kingsguards had a similar look to Garth.

"This, Your Majesty the Emperor, is in a covenant with the Union of Lame and the Alliance of Adventurers -"

"I know that. But if you wanted to know, you had no choice."

"May I ask how it turned out?

Garth asks, as if to speak for the feelings of those who are here.

"The result………….

Surprisingly. The truth is - oh, I forgot. This is only a secret between you and Joseph.

More than that, I was wondering if it was time for a sunset. Do you want to go back to the inn? "

Emperor Delim jumps out of his chair and walks away in a light motion unsuitable for his age. Garth and the Kingsguards rushed after him.

"Huh!? I'm really curious. Could you just tell me in confidence?

"Emperor Delim seems to have returned."

"Seems to have had the same purpose there"

President Mamma, the leader of the Republic of Set, who was looking at Emperor Delim from a remote seat, answers an inquiry from Siegmund, headed by the Twelve Devils Slaughter, with his fingers around the edge of the monocle and seemingly less interested.

"How did President Mamma feel when he saw The Seeds of Disaster?

"For once I wanted to see it in person, but I have previously referred to Yu Satou as a pathetic 'victim'. But I don't know why not.

You've seen it too, haven't you? That attitude toward the Value Finance Minister. It's like a hungry wolf biting whoever he wants. "

Siegmund laughs bitterly at Mamma's appearance as she flaunts her shoulders in a daze.

"After this..."

"It's dinner time. I've been deciding on steak for decades with red wine."

"Can't you see King Woodon?

"I won't see you."

Siegmund is not surprised yet because he knew Mamma would answer this in advance.

"Do you mind?

"As long as I see that guy, I choose to eat with the goblins."

"Ha ha. King Woodon is something they hated too. But this king's capital, Tenkasi, now has two Emperors Delim, eight cents of Hermeln, and President Mamma and the heads of four of the five powers. Just President Mamma, isn't it negative for the Republic of Set not to see King Woodon"

It is a true argument. But Mamma takes out her pocket watch, and it's the end of the day she cares about dinner time.

"I won't see you."

"No way. Though I'm sorry, do you think I'm going to come to Wang Capital and go home without seeing you?

"Emperor Derim will definitely not meet. The two of the eight pennies won't see each other, judging it meaningless. Maybe we'll get in touch with Finance Minister Value. And I don't see him because I hate him."

Siegmund silences Mamma, who I assure you, that it would be useless to say anything more.

"It's more time for dinner than that.

One of the secrets to having a meaningful life is, above all, to keep time. "

"Yes, I did.

We're going back to the inn. "

President Mamma's escorts, dispersed and placed by the surrounding guests, rise to Siegmund's call.

"It was refreshing."

In one of the Suzzaties' rooms, Muss groans delightfully. If you look indoors, you'll only see Nung and Yu besides Muss.

"Haha. Today's auction will surely be told forever as an event in history.

I've never seen a treasury minister so sorry. "

In front of the upbeat muss, Yu throws the tea treats prepared for the table into the interview with his hands. Pour the tea cup, which was temperature-controlled by Nung, into the teacup and place it at Yu's disposal.

"If we're done talking, can we go home? There's a guy waiting for you."

"Of course not.

Actually, I'd like you to meet His Majesty. "

"You don't have to tell me. I'll see you."

"It's not a medal ceremony the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow we have a place in the Royal Palace for confidential talks."

Yu has tea in his mouth because he doesn't seem interested in talking about Muss.

"What are you talking about when you see me?"

"Come on?"

I wonder if you're kidding. Yu looks at Muss' face, but it is even serious in itself. From Yu, who knows his usual muss, I'm unnecessarily hungry.

"I think if you meet me, the rest will go ahead on its own. Thought you'd look me in the face."

"When did I take care of you? On the other hand, I didn't want to come to the king's capital, but I did because you were so loud."

"It wouldn't have been that loud, would it? Besides, we worked together at the auction.

Even though the finance minister had lost sight of me because of his anger, there was also the possibility that he would not come on board there. If I did, I'd be paying $300 billion, right? You can help me out a little bit. "

"Don't say the right thing. Soon after that, Victor would have bid for 400 billion. Besides, Value never went down there."

"You mean it was all a prospect?"

"You're not.

You're the one who foresaw it with that eye (...), muss. "

What's the matter, Muss conceives as he sips tea. Does Yu, on the other hand, care about Nung, who has been silent since earlier? In the meantime, I was watching.

"Can you tell Yu to cooperate, even from Nung?

"I know it would be very rude of you to say this to the Lord, Master Muss, but I would like to complain.

We have already given Yu a great deal of consideration at the convenience of this side. I was wondering if any more wishes would be too sweet. "

Muss, who did not expect to be opposed by Nung, the butler, seemed slightly surprised to open his eyes.

"I'm coming."

"Huh?"

"That's why I said I was going. You just have to go to the Imperial Castle tomorrow at what time."

Muss opened his eyes wide to Yu's change of attitude as if he had returned his palm.

"You know what? Is Yu too different with me and Nung?

"Shut up."

Even if Muss expresses his dissatisfaction with the difference in response, Yu kicks his ass.

"Fair enough."

With that said, Muss takes out the paper and fills in the address of the inn where he is staying.

"I want you to come to the Inn room on this paper by 8: 00 tomorrow. Without anyone finding that either. Wouldn't Yu be easy? However, with today's events, I turned the Minister of Finance completely against the enemy. Don't be surprised if you have my body in your room tomorrow."

"Okay.

I'll take care of Mr. Nung then, so die in peace. "

"Chicken! Chi, but, ha, ha!! You should tell them not to die there with each other or to protect me!

"Huh...... huh"

Nung, who was watching Yu and Muss interact, makes me laugh uncomfortably.

"I'm sorry.

But too much interaction between Master Muss and Master Yu, huhuhu... "

Yu forgets me for a moment because the way that Nung laughed was so similar to an old woman he knew well.

"Yu?"

"Master Yu, how is it done?

Realizing that Muss and Nung stare at themselves in wonder, Yu grabs Muss' written paper rampantly to delude him.

"I'm done talking to you now, okay? Besides, muss, aren't you better off worrying about the Adventurer Alliance's compensation than worrying about your life?

"Huh? Adventurer Guild Compensation? I'm not asking," he releases a disturbing muss, and Yu leaves the room as he is. And a Suzzaties employee waiting outside the room for it to guide Yu.

"Dear Satou, I've been waiting for you"

The director of the Suzzaties greets Yuu in the same way he did before in the room ahead where he was led through several tightly guarded doors.

This is the room that Yu was put through when he brought the horns of the ancient dragon. Unlike last time, in a large room with no windows, I could see a decorated box piled up like a mountain all the way to the ceiling.

"Why are you here?

"Well, that's..."

At the end of Yu's gaze was the figure of Victor, who naturally only relented to be here.

"Because I really say that you are a friend of Master Satou.

We both knew that Master Lustig was close to Master Satoh... "

Speaking of the curators of the Suzzaties, I guess if we deal with Victor, we can talk about it.

"Uh, fine. If they're Victor, the curator won't get out strong."

Suzzaties is an institution made up of auctions. Since the king has direct jurisdiction, most nobility's impossibilities can be bounced back, but the victor Rustig, who is next to the liberal state of Harmeln, is also the opponent of eight cents, has bad minutes.

Because Victor is not only the winner of the bid, but also the one who sells a large number of items. As a result, the curator who runs the Suzzaties could not go under either.

"Oh. Because I'm done talking to Count Muss?

"You're a white guy. You were eavesdropping on me."

"That's impossible," the curator muttered in his heart. The rooms used by aristocrats and large merchants in talks and business talks are protected against eavesdropping by magic, magic aids, etc. The same is true of the sazzaties, who deal in expensive goods from day to day. The room used by Yu and Muss is naturally also equipped with its features.

"In this case, I may also (...) be more targeted for my life than Master Value"

Victor starts talking, as if he hadn't heard Yu.

"You're gonna be okay."

"Oh, why is that?

"The Knight of Flowers is protecting you."

Victor's hand, who was stroking his beard, stops.

"You're not. Is Harmeln a flower fighter because he doesn't have a knight? It's not like you to ask someone to protect you."

Victor, referred to as the existence of an escort put on by Benjamin Gochester, one of the eight pennies who is unwillingly but Lord, turns from the spare look he had floated until then to a disgruntled look.

"What. You look like that, too."

"Dear Satou, that's all I'm saying, this is not the kind of escort this Victor wished for."

Victor protests just because he's out of his mind.

"Um... is it time?

"Oh, I don't mind ignoring Victor"

"So, then. This box will pay for the horn of the ancient dragon that Master Satou put up for auction this time.

Allow me to explain in advance that the fee varies depending on the amount of bid won at the Suzzaties Auction. This time it will be more than 500 million Madokas, so six hundred and eighty billion Madokas, minus fifteen percent of the fee, will be Satou's share. "

Typically in auction houses, fees fluctuate depending on the amount. With the Suzzaties, less than 20 million Madokas is 25%, less than 500 million Madokas is 20%, and more deals are uniformly 15%.

A short distance away, Victor talks to the employees around him, nibbling, saying, "It's a long story to take a hundred and twenty billion madka, even though it's a fee."

"I didn't expect to pay by the end of the day."

"I was also surprised by this.

Value finance minister said to boast the best financial power in the Laem continent, but I didn't expect to pay as much as 800 billion Madokas instantly... "

"Are you done checking the contents?

"Yeah, I'm sure there are 800 billion Maddoka's of employees in Suzzaties who have excellent skills in these kinds of calculations"

Yu generally opens one of the boxes to check the contents. The box was filled with white gold coins.

"All white gold coins?

"Yes, I guess the pride of the Value Finance Minister won't allow imitation like mixing gold coins"

"Hmm. You can also deduct the price of the item I won from here."

"How about the rest? Still keep it in the Adventurer's Guild? If so, here -"

"No, I'll take it home myself"

In Yu's words, the curator gives a troubled look. This auction at Sutherties is a massive one once a year. Naturally, moving money can also be huge, but then how do nobles and merchants prepare cash?

"That would be guild trouble. A huge amount of money flows out of the King's Capital."

Draw from the Adventurer's and Merchant's guilds. The farther one comes, the more he understands the danger of travelling with a lot of cash. That's why we're pulling it off the guild.

This auction also draws enormous amounts of gold from numerous guilds in the Wang capital. It is customary for most of the money paid at the Suzzaties auction to be deposited in the Alliance in the same way.

"Ooh, ooh. Doesn't Master Satoh keep it in his guild? Then the king's capital will be in trouble. Perhaps, but Master Value's treasure trove at home should originally be withdrawing gold from multiple guilds, including the Merchant Guild. And then..."

"It's not what I found out. If there's going to be a gold problem in Wang Du, it's up to the Finance Minister to solve it."

Blocking Victor's words along the way, Yu runs out of interest in what will happen to the King's Capital.

"Curator, how did the finance minister get home with the horns of the ancient dragon?"

"That's what you need to hear.

The Value Minister of Finance brought in his prepared conjunctors, but he stuck around to control the magic that overflows from the horns of the ancient dragon.

Then I asked him to give me the Sazzaties' possession of the junction and the sealed magic guide! Those are the things loaned to the Suzzaties from the Kingdom of Woodon, even though I have said no many times that they are not a substitute for you to give away!!

What the curator is talking about is the pedestal used to carry the horns of the ancient dragon at the auction.

"At the end..."

I look at Yu and Victor's face alternately, wondering if the curator could say something.

"You can say it."

"Tell me how Master Satou brought the Horn of the Ancient Dragon, and he's approaching me to blackmail me in half.

Of course, Suzzaties does not divulge your personal information. Even if the other person is royal or noble! But...... Master Satou knew this was going to happen. I told you I brought it in the item pouch as I was told. "

"Is that an item pouch with fish embroidery on it?

"Yeah, you're right. When Finance Minister Value took the item pouch out of his nostalgia, he was surprisingly easy to be served the corner of the ancient dragon and returned home."

How could I have stood on my stomach? When the curator stood up, he bowed his head to Yu as he wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief.

"There's no need for the curator to bow his head"

"If you say so, I will be saved, too"

"Holy shit! Dear Value would like to have an unusual item pouch."

Surprised deliberately, Victor slaps his hand.

"What if Master Satou could easily get an untimely item pouch? Or can you create it? This Victor is intriguing!

"Victor, shut up just now."

"If so. Could you sell this victor for a hundred billion, no, no, twice as much as 200 billion?"

With Victor's handover, the curator of Suzzaties, who was listening beside him, instantly calculates that paying 200 billion madka for an untimely item porch is enough to recover over time.

"If you want it so bad, I'll sell it."

"............ really?

"Oh, you can sell him anything cheaper"

Didn't you think you could sell it? Victor grows up as if the poison has been drained.

"What's up? Aren't you happy?"

"I lost interest"

Victor answers with a flashing look. Did that look strange, Yu's mouth angle goes up.

"That's Victor."

"You don't feel complimented. By the way, I don't see Nina and the others, which way?

"Nina left it out of the middle of the auction because she's kind of confused. Lena is also obsessed with reading magic books. Marifa's taking care of the devil and Nina and the others."

Leaving the obstinate childlike Victor intact, Yu exchanged money and goods with the curator.
