Noon, 17 December 2813, Western Continental Calendar

A group of soldiers were camped in the plains outside Ipilos.

Did I just say the number of soldiers is around 300?

Besides, there were hundreds of men in overdressed clothes sitting down on the ground.

Soldiers wearing black-dyed leather armor hand out sharp eyes to the surrounding area that do not look good on the face left behind by childhood.

Suddenly, the black-dyed flag that was blown by the wind and flown in the camp turned "Hiru" eh.

The design sewn on the flag is a golden double-headed snake tangled in a sword. The snake's red eyes emit a demonic light.

A flag that drifts in style as if intimidating the surrounding area.

Most of all, everyone in this camp looks up at this flag with pride.

The sword is power. Two-headed snakes teasing to defend it are a testament to political tactics and plots.

That is precisely because it is a design that embodies our masters and is a testament to a new country that we grow up in our own hands.

"Salted Fish Forty Barrels"

"Dry Dates Fifty Barrels"

"fifty barrels of dried pork"

The voices of the soldiers sounded one after the other from the top of as many as ten wagons retained on the south side of the camp.

"It's gonna be tough, but we're gonna open the kitchen and the lid one by one to see what's in it."

When the soldiers snorted silently at Laura's words, they returned to the confirmation task.

Beside it, a well-width merchant-like man matches the voices of the soldiers and turns regardless of the bundle of parchment in his hand.

"Is that all... No, I had a hard time aligning this amount in a short time, even though Count Salzberg spoke up"

Finally I finished checking all the carriages and the merchant sighed heavily.

Ten cars alone that this merchant brought into the camp.

Check the loads piled on that carrier against the ledger one by one.

It is also natural that the colour of fatigue floats.

Still, the work, which took nearly two hours, was over, and there was a smile on its round face.

"You'll be putting up that portion. That's a lot of money, isn't it?

Laura turned a cold eye to the blurry merchant as she dropped her gaze on a bunch of parchment paper in her hand.

As a result of the inspection, there are no problems with the quantity or quality of the product, but the amount of the invoice given to Laura is too high.

In fact, all the merchants here were business enthusiastic and unafraid opponents.

That is why he is more accustomed to business and negotiation than a lousy nobleman and is quite strong.

Because they are aiming for opportunities with Tiger Sight and Takeshi to increase their own profits at all.

You can never even be alarmed by this man's good-looking smile, turning parchment with a full smile in front of Laura.

"Just kidding. It's the same price we offer to the Earl of Salzberg."

The merchant whispers and protests that he is even out-of-heart.

Is it the cunning "like this" of this merchant that gives the name of the Count the subtle?

Indeed, if the name of Count Salzberg is given, the nobility under the title will have to shut its mouth.

What would happen if we made a loud noise and even put it in the ear of Count Salzberg?

Such fear binds their hearts.

The product this man brought is preserved food such as dried meat and dried fish.

It would certainly have been difficult to match the quantity because it is consumed on a daily basis in the general household, but I can't get the amount written on the parchment that the merchant gave Laura.

Liang Zhen told me to pay in silence before I said I couldn't, if I put it on about 10%, but the 30% increase in boulders is an unscrupulous amount.

We do market price research beforehand, and honestly, we buy the same amount from other merchants than the ones in front of us.

A fair price can be easily determined by comparing them.

It's not sweet enough for Liang Zhen to pepper their words and say to the merchants' mouth trucks.

"Really? Then take it home. Ask another chamber of commerce."

Laura told him to take the load home without any hesitation.

I do need supplies, but I have something to say limits to everything.

This is a situation where you can't pull off.

"Nah! That won't be much. Count Salzberg's voice made it impossible for us to push the product. I don't know if I can take that home now... but I'm going to have to deal with you in the future, right?

You must have seen Laura sweetly with a girl and a child. The merchant hung on to the threat while making the Earl of Salzberg smell like he was behind him.

Sure, it would have worked normally, but after this he would curse his own words.

"What the hell is wrong with you?

"Nah!"

Soon after the merchant there was the figure of Count Salzberg, protected by the knights.

I guess I've been there for a while.

His mouth was shaking slightly.

"This is Count Salzberg. Welcome aboard."

Laura pays homage to the Count in perfect motion according to the noble manners.

"Mm-hmm. I thought I'd say goodbye to you with your expedition. I haven't given you the use beforehand, do you have time?

Even happily grinning, the Earl of Salzberg asks Laura in an eagle voice.

"Sure, I'm busy getting ready to go out, but I've taken care of a lot of things. If you're coming over the Count, you can't say no."

"Well... um, let's ask for guidance"

Here the Earl of Salzberg turned his gaze to the merchant, who dyed his face blue and white, as he cut off his words.

"You're from the Raphir Chamber of Commerce."

The Earl of Salzberg did not reinforce his tone otherwise, but the merchant makes himself strong as if he had been sentenced to death.

It is the word of a lord who married the only daughter of the Mistal Chamber of Commerce, a representative of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce that holds the economy of Ipilos.

For this merchant who drew his face, the Count's words were also equal to God's proclamation.

"Lord Goshiba will work in powder for the Kingdom of Roselia. Why don't you think about that area?

Nothing. The Count did not order the merchant to do something.

But this man was not so foolish that he could not discern the sincerity hidden behind the words.

"Ha, I'm very sorry for your loss. There seems to have been a mistake..."

A blatant discount is compulsive, but the merchant did not do anything to say that he would openly deduct value on the spot.

The Earl of Salzberg has nothing more to say.

I understood that my will had been accurately communicated.

"Um, I'm forcing everyone in the Federation of Chambers to do it, but it's all for this country, too. Nice to meet you."

"Yes. I'm very sorry for your loss. I'll re-load the load immediately."

Perhaps I will also say that a few items were graded incorrectly as a result of re-loading them again.

(You're unlucky.)

Laura stared into the face of the merchant, who began to check the load again with a greasy sweat on her face in front of her, laughing in her heart.

This man was compelled to lower his value than normal because he wanted more profit.

Well, since there can be no such thing as the Earl of Salzberg calling out in a place like this, would it be more appropriate for this man to mourn his lack of luck than to reflect on the depth of his greed?

"Let's go."

Count Salzberg ordered Laura to be guided as if nothing had happened.

In fact, it's not enough for the Count to take.

I only did a little embarrassing to the greedy merchant.

"Damn, your lord is a good man, too. I didn't know you were going to Zaluda for reinforcements, not to mention how much you cried. I don't care how many lives you have."

As he entered the tent guided by Laura, Count Salzberg warped his lips and said away as soon as he saw Ryo True's face.

Most importantly, that look still has a smile on its face, and as far as I've heard his tone, I'm not saying anything disgusting.

Either that or it would feel close to hatred for a friend.

"Long time no see. His Excellency the Earl of Salzberg. Thank you for all your help."

Ryo Jin, ear-pieced by Laura, who moved quickly to the side, greets the Count without a surprise look on his face.

"Oh, boring. Greetings are good. Your lord made a lot of money on this one."

Pushing Liang Zhen with his hand to lower his head, the Earl of Salzberg lowers his back to a chair that was nearby in an upbeat mood.

"There is no such thing. We have gathered supplies well in the shadow of His Excellency the Count."

"Mm-hmm. In the future, we'll have each other."

Seeing Ryo Trung carefully bowed his head again, the Earl of Salzberg smiles satisfactorily.

Well, that would be natural, too.

This time Count Salzberg simply contacted his father-in-law, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Mistal, and ordered all chambers of commerce belonging to the Federation of Chambers to secure supplies.

It's not like the Count himself said he sweated something.

While I was there, I couldn't possibly be in a bad mood because I was given a considerable intermediary fee over Liangzhen for brokering a mass order.

Plus, you must be getting some kind of reward from the Chamber of Commerce.

It is unclear how much money the Earl of Salzberg made on this purchase of supplies, but it will probably never go down a million baht.

And while bringing all that profit to the Count, Ryo Jin never tried to be grateful for it.

I can see that Ryojin can take it in his hands, such as the thought of a man like the Earl.

People like him have a crush on people. They don't like to be behaved.

On the other hand, there's one side of me that I want to have in-laws on, so if they're bad at it, they'll secure quite a bit in return.

The important thing is not to inspire their pride.

"By the way, Elena Steiner already went to Zaluda, didn't she?

The Count of Salzberg spoke of the subject of the battle, where a soothing ground had eased.

Originally there were only samurai-skinned people, and they also have a strong interest in this reinforcement.

"Yeah, no further delay in the boulder would make a good impression on Zaluda or Mist."

I'm not talking about exactly where it doesn't make a good impression.

Any longer, the Mist kingdom may even have declared war against Roselia.

"Well, I guess it's natural. Zaluda is an important shield if you make it a mist. I should say I've put up with it for over a year."

"You knew what was going on in Roselia. Your Majesty will want to avoid passing through Roselia in a situation where he has not been able to bring the nobles together."

"Even if it's not, it's hard to go on an expedition, but it's certain to go through a country where the situation is unstable..."

It's pretty hard to get the military on expedition.

Maintaining the morale of a soldier separated from his hometown is a struggle.

Further domestic defense in the procurement of supplies.

There are a number of concerns.

In addition to this, it will be difficult to decide how much of an expedition you want to go to Zaluda for reinforcements if the countries you pass through become insecure.

"What will your lord do now?

"Go west on Ipilos and go inside Zaluda. After that, take the streets south to meet Elena in Peripheria, the capital of Zaluda."

"Well, it must be a natural choice... after that it depends on your lord's luck"

Liang Zhen replied silently to Count Salzberg's words pointing a teasing glance at him somewhere.

I don't need to be told again now.

People with luck survive, people without luck die.

That's because the earth Earth is no different in the Earth world or the back earth, the Rias world.

After the talks, the Earl of Salzberg, who tried to leave the camp with his escort soldiers, turned his gaze to the black-dyed flag that swept into the wind.

(Hmm... a snake with a sword... that's a perfectly good design for that guy)

At least the snake surely represents that man accurately.

(I saw it on that guy's thoughts, but now, you see what happens)

Nothing. I don't trust or trust you.

It's just that he did it with a little help because the man took advantage of it.

It's just an indication of the friendship floating around in the talks and all.

And we understand that together.

(It would be nice if that man could save Zaluda. No, but that's all I have to do to negotiate with Ortomere.)

If we do not even persevere in the survival of the Kingdom of Roselia, there are many means by which nobility can survive.

That's not why I want you to invade Ortomere.

Fighting costs money.

Even if we didn't cross spears.

(That man has snake tactics as that design suggests... is it sword force after that? You can see if the design is creepy or not.)

A cold grin appeared on the face of the Earl of Salzberg.

It's as if the weak look down from height to scratch...
