Oatman – Hassan Javir, a merchant of the Turkic Empire.
He was a well-known trader in the Ottoman Empire and a nationally recognized trader who was officially licensed by the Sultan to trade spices.
As long as the Ottoman Empire lasted, I firmly believed that his path would also be a flower garden.
Xavir ran into an unexpected challenge.
To sell spices brought in from the East, I was heading to Espera’s estate…
Perhaps it was because the discipline of the guards was too loose, all the spices on the ship were stolen by the pirates.
No, looking back, the guards didn’t have any major problems.
He did not have the talent to face the pirates who pushed in on the stage.
While sailing along the sea road, pirates suddenly appeared from beyond the horizon.
Instead of being guaranteed their lives, all the goods were taken and the ship was also on the verge of being taken away.
Fortunately, thanks to the troops sent by Lord Espera, the ship was not lost.
But…and yet, precious items and spices that boast a price that can afford to buy a few ships were taken away.
The loss was indescribable.
But a ball is a ball, and a buying company.
Because their lives were still attached, the items stolen from the pirates will be recovered someday.
squeaky.
The eyes of the pirates who roll their eyes and stick out their tongues and look at the goods greedily.
Just thinking about it, Xavir’s whole body trembled from the feeling of shame.
Only alcohol and alcohol could soothe Xavir’s anger.
Having lost his goods to the pirates, Xavir was grieved and stuck in Espera’s estate and drank all day.
Of course, just because the items were taken away did not mean that the top would be destroyed immediately, but Javir was also human.
It would be a lie if I said that I had no feelings for the stolen items.
As a human being, it’s a very heartbreaking situation.
To forget his sorrow, Javir ordered his servant to bring alcohol today.
“Javir, you have a visitor.”
” ..Guests? Who came to visit me from a distant land?”
As Xavir said, this is a faraway foreign land.
Who is it that came to visit him?
However, the next servant’s words were enough to embarrass Xavir.
” ..The owner of Espera’s estate, Count Espera himself… “
” ..what?! “
Xavir gets up from his seat after putting his drink to one corner.
However, after a moment of surprise, Xavir sat down and began to ponder why Count Espera had come to visit him.
As Javir who understands the saying that there is no unpaid favor in this world better than anyone else.
Now, in this situation, there was no choice but to raise doubts more than anyone else about the arrival of Count Espera.
But now that I am washing my hair by myself, there is no answer.
You can’t beat Count Espera like this.
“Let me bring you.”
Xavir eventually decided to meet Count Espera in person.
I had saved myself before work, so I would like to express my gratitude at the same time.
You should think about the reason why you came to him right now.
“Yes! But, there is a man who came with me. According to the Count, he is… an attendant.”
” ..the attendant..?”
” ..Yes! What should I do?”
As an attendant, are they knights protecting the Count?
I was wary for a moment when I heard that he was an attendant, but anyway, he had a lot of his servants and troops here, and if you look at the situation in Espera’s estate now, you can understand the Count’s situation.
‘It doesn’t matter. ‘
“It doesn’t matter, take the Count and his attendants to the VIP room.”
” Yes! “
With that in mind, Xavir got up and started preparing for the count.
******
“Nice to meet you, I’m Espera Nink, who is ruling the Espera Territory on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor.”
“You are the lord of the city where the waves gather in one place! Nice to meet you. My name is Jabir, the upper lord of the upper Java.”
The lord who rules the metropolis Espera, Espera Nink.
Jabir, a top-tier stock in Java, who runs one of the largest tops in the Ottoman Empire.
The giants, whose hands and feet trembled just by hearing it, were in a VIP room, facing each other and greeting each other.
“Haha! It seems you are very lucky today to meet the owner of the famous Java top.”
“Heh heh! It’s the same for me. I am deeply moved to see the lord who rules Espera wisely.”
” Ha ha ha ha ha! “
” by the way. “
After laughing for a while, Xavir looked at the Count and smiled.
It’s like the trailer is over, and now the main story! As if announcing that, Xavir quickly began to bring up the subject matter.
On the surface, it was a meeting between Sangju and Yeongju, but in reality it was a meeting between a merchant and a merchant.
How can I see the insides of my opponent, and how can I get the most out of them?
Since it is the psychology of merchants to lay down these thoughts on the premise, it was a high-level psychological warfare to form a good atmosphere and talk like this now.
Hearing at the unnutritious praise, if released, the Count and Xavir will bite the nape of the neck immediately.
“What is your reason for coming here? I heard that Count Espera is busy with official duties.”
“Haha, even if you are busy with public affairs, it is not the courtesy of the landlord that you have to leave if there is a guest. How can I stay still when I heard that a high-ranking owner from the famous Java top has arrived.”
“Heh heh, thank you for your words. A great disaster struck the upper part of Java, and I was depressed.
” ..I heard the news. It’s really sad. It’s a shame, but .. our family has no problems with those pirates right now.”
“You will be very heartbroken.”
Xavir bowed his head at the same time as the Count.
If the items were looted within the Espera estate, you could formally ask the Espera family for help, but…
Unfortunately, the pirates took advantage of that fact to loot on the high seas.
A sea that no one owns.
Everything that happens on it is just an accident.
It was not the fault of the plunderer that he was looted by the pirates, but it was Xavir’s own fault for not keeping the items straight.
So… I don’t mind telling Count Espera face to face for help! It was the same logic as saying.
“Heh heh, there’s something I want to show you, the owner of the top of my Java.”
“…”
The Count dumps numerous piles of papers on the table.
The identity of the piles of documents was the documents the Count had shown to Rommel showing the amount of damage for each of the tops, and the appeals of merchants begging to subdue the pirates.
When Xavir looked at the documents the Count had handed him, he sighed heavily.
There is no better place to do business than Espera’s estate, but the pirates’ exploitation has gone too far.
If it goes like this, Espera will surely collapse.
All merchants have both progressive and conservative tendencies at the same time.
When bold investment is needed, the aspect of making bold investments resembles progress, and the fact that it is not easy to abandon the tradition of the top that has been in existence for hundreds of years was conservative.
Espera was the latter.
The foundations and business partners that have already been firmly established in Espera.
It was a loss even in the situation of Javir.
While Xavir was contemplating, Rommel, who was listening to the story next to the Count, opened his mouth.
“I have a message to say to the master of Java, Jabir.”
” ..who is this?”
I thought it was an escort knight who was next to the count, reported from the servant, but now, looking closely, I can’t see any features of the knight.
If I had to look for an image, it was more suitable for a beginner who still smells like a baby boy.
When asked about Rommel’s identity, the Count opened his mouth as if he had no choice.
“The spare son-in-law.”
” ..Yes? “
“Did you say you’re a spare son-in-law?”
The Count’s answer was enough to embarrass both Rommel and Xavir.
“Hahaha! The spare son-in-law has come up with an amazing solution to the pirate problem, so you can rest assured, Master Jarvi!”
“Heh heh.. a spare son-in-law.”
“..the Count…?”
“Stay still, I think I’ll listen to you only by saying this, so I tried a little trick.”
Bewildered, Rommel questioned the ear of the Count, but the Count simply smiled and answered Rommel’s question.
You’re a preliminary…
Where did the countess who stared at him as if to kill him went, and only the clever counts were left?
” ..Yes, that’s good. Let’s hear the story. I can trust the Count’s well-being because I’ve heard it well.”
The position of the reserve son-in-law of the Count Espera’s family is by no means easy.
No, he was a person who had to look good in the future.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to put a stamp on the person who will rule the Espera estate in the future.
So Xavir decided to listen to Rommel.
“I’ll listen to the story.”
“Thought well, you will never regret it.”
“So how is that?”
” ..don’t you ever want to become a pirate?”
” ..Yes? “
And a shocking method came out of Rommel’s mouth.
