Kingdom ? Lv. 167 Hard Throk’s Slum (5)
The king of the north, indeed, rarely folded his cheeky expression and put it aside.
Instead, a look of disappointment and embarrassment appeared on his face.
“Tell me what this is.”
The Locust quickly divulged as much as he could.
“The guild called Angel’s Tears didn’t ask for any interest, but promised a huge amount of funding. Most of it just went away. So it was quietly unified without any noise.”
“And you passed too, didn’t you?”
“I believed the king would contact me, so be patient… Ugh!”
“I did it. I did it. I did it because my father-in-law was too cheeky. Yes, go ahead.”
Locust trembled slightly. Even when I really touched it, it was enough to make my body stumble.
He’s also an exile warrior.
“Then he said he would renovate this slum into a city. He said he had some money.”
“It’s amazing.”
The king of the north looked around.
There was no riot like this.
Even at the bar where the king is staying, the noise of gossip can be heard.
Outside, the sound of carriages and vehicles coming and going is noisy.
All that was brought down there were daily necessities and food.
Some medicines are also available.
All were very clean and shiny new.
These are undoubtedly the items that were produced in the downtown area of Hard Throk and shipped here.
This is usually not possible.
What would they like to deliver this to here? Citizen pride is great.
The perseverance and pride that had been trained as a warrior and as an exile became a sense of choice here.
He himself knows it best.
But now, even though the exiles are unwilling, they are even getting off the supplies with their own hands.
How much money did you give?
So, how much more money is left in the guild called Angel’s Tears?
Due to the economic structure of the kingdom, where the predatory economy is a fairly large proportion, such a thing can only happen in the early days of a new server.
That is when you have a great power that unilaterally robs a server, and even preoccupies the position faster than other powers.
“I’m going to have to take this a little slower.”
The title has been changed to something else.
He also takes off his equipment and puts it in the dimension pocket.
The few who remained in the tavern would nevertheless know that this man was the king of the North.
But others don’t know.
“The taste of alcohol is falling.”
“Master!”
“Noisy. It’s not because of that.”
“Yep.”
The king tilts his head. And I tapped my forehead with my finger.
It sounds more like a thump, not a click.
The race is a leaf fairy, but the strength of the fingers, the durability of the skull, and the toughness of the skin.
Not everyone is a fairy.
The animal’s ears, whether it was a wolf or a hyena, fluttered rhythmically.
“There are guys who foolishly boast about such a lot of money… How can you enjoy drinking while just looking at it?”
“Yeah, yes.”
“Let’s take a look at it a little more. Because something very sweet is about to happen.”
The king plucked his own bottle from his waist.
He sprayed it on Locust’s arm, which was still dripping with blood.
Since the damage has not yet settled, the crushed arm is restored.
“Wipe the blood. And do what I had to do if I hadn’t come. I’ll just watch.”
“All right!”
He didn’t pay particular attention to the rules and regulations of those in the bar. From the beginning, this was the business place of the Locust Guild.
There is no one who can take a sudden action even after seeing my boss crawling right in front of my eyes.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jericho can now regard the terrible thing that had just happened a while ago as a hoax.Although the Angel went crazy and came along with some wizard and burned the organization, and threatened his family as hostages.
As a result, he was now tasting ecstasy.
The highest quality weapons and armor made by artisans were things that the stragglers in such slums could not obtain even if they had money.
After all, in this labyrinth where strength is justice, there is no wealth more reassuring than good combat gear.
The shiny new equipment was made of rune steel, which is undoubtedly made by the best craftsmen of Hard Throk.
As a warrior, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed.
He wasn’t particularly interested in the idea of Greenskins, so he doesn’t think it’s cool to fight naked.
Defense that can withstand being hit by rockets.
What a beautiful sound when you think about the things you will lose in death.
Even her wife, who was also a warrior, was given excellent equipment that was not available in the slums.
He had no intention of raising his daughter, who was not an exile, into a warrior, but she was also provided with equipment suitable for her body.
He really did what he wanted.
The items they wanted were delivered safely to the members of the organization as well.
Some personnel, not even exiles, are pinching my cheeks and trying to accept this reality.
“Oh my God! We’re rich now!”
“Damn city bastards were only using these good things?”
Fortunately, exile members who can enter the city itself know that this is not the case.
Equipment that is coming in one after another now is valuable even in urban areas.
Where the hell did this money come from?
Did you have any adamantite ingots?
It is a metal that is like a warrior’s romance. Unless you’re a high ranker, you can’t even own an alloy containing adamantite.
To be honest, it’s a material that I don’t think is just a legend.
It’s a piece of equipment that everyone looks up to even if it’s just runic steel with magical powers.
Even the townspeople who look at them with contemptible eyes don’t care.
Even if it wasn’t for Jericho, the northern hospital area was truly festive.
First of all, it was the first time for most of the residents of the hospital area that there was such an abundance of food.
The sick also cheered.
The same goes for the doctors they cared for.
Various medicines provided free of charge completely solved diseases or injuries that could not be cured even though they knew it.
Watching all of that, the director just rolled his eyes.
“How much money do you have? No, what did you do?”
“Is this enough to rent this hospital building as a temple?”
The manager laughed.
“Of course. No, can I do that god of chaos too? Maybe his suffix is money? Isn’t that right?”
“You are the goddess of liberty.”
“Oh my God. That’s great.”
It was the bright expression Remy had seen for the first time. It was even surprising to see the wrinkled wrinkles unfolding wide.
Remy felt that the discomfort she had felt before was fading away.
In fact, the feeling that this old doctor felt may have been resignation rather than nobility.
It was just that no one could afford to reach out like this.
It seems that the old man knew best that even expecting it would be shameless.
“Haha, I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve felt so happy.”
Soon, technicians who were dealing with medical equipment from outside came to save their specialties.
Machines that have been neglected for a long time begin to move.
“Director-sensei, you’re just going to stay in the city. How long are you going to stay here?”
“How can I leave here. There are no patients in the city where there is a fountain anyway.”
“Still, I don’t get sick. There’s nothing I can do about old age.”
“It’s bullshit. I’m a surgeon.”
Watching those conversations go on, Remy thought the saliva in her mouth was bitter.
How did he become like this?
As a sophomore in middle school with many dreams, the family was harmonious and preparations for the high school entrance exam went smoothly.
I never missed 1st place in my grades.
Her dream was to be a doctor.
Suddenly, I miss my smartphone.

The situation in the slum, led by our party members, had already been caught by the members of the Hardsrock Three Council.
Yongin, who knew exactly what was happening, proceeded with the story from a very merchantable point of view.
A country is a country, even if it is an ulti-national country.
Most of the exiles who had already experienced a democratic society and a capitalist economy tried to build a similar society.
As a result, even in the country of warriors, public power became a force that no one could wield.
The legislator, Yongin, is no one. If that power is on your side, you can roll a different level of benefit than the first, which was close to disposing of it in a hurry.
I wanted exactly that situation.
When I first said I was going to make it go this way, the party members were very surprised.
It was because he could not understand the value of the small pouch that the goblin took care of and that Hee-woo brought.
Rare materials directly related to combat power are more expensive than diamonds of the same weight.
In a world where superhumans run rampant, combat power is more important than money.
Even so, Yongin’s opinion was quite surprising.
“I see. The population of this kingdom is so large?”
“Yes. However, there is a limit to the resources mined on the new server. Even the average level of the rankers is 500 compared to other episodes I’ve been through.”
That’s right.
No matter how many people the kingdom has, the amount of resources given doesn’t change.
The result is that slum outside.
It is said that the adamantite alloy equipment that even rankers can obtain is the exclusive property of high rankers in this kingdom.
It is a kingdom of scale and history that we have never experienced in many ways, although we know that the longer it lasts, the more polarized it tends to be.
“There are 46 servers that have not been properly accessed even after 8 years have passed. Even those who hold the key are less than a hundred.”
“I’ll be there in this country.”
“A great right. Our resources continue to run dry, but they hold the keys to a new server.”
“Then you’ll join me?”
Yongin accepted my words as if he was feeling cool.
Maybe it’s rare in a country of warriors where a conversation like this goes so smoothly.
“That’s the problem. The resources on server 46 barely flowed into the kingdom. Even server 45 is ostracizing exiles, so we have little to gain.”
“Did you lose?”
“Honestly, yes. It was where the puzzle was put right from the start. There were plenty of omens, but in the end it neither changed the past nor the future.”
“I guess there were too many idiots who played the game.”
“It’s a matter of generational change. There are a lot of people who have never experienced NPCs as their footstool.”
NPCs know how to get angry and how to unite.
No matter how strong the exile, he is only a visitor with a limited time as long as he has come to the kingdom.
When the whole world turns against the enemy, it becomes a terrible thing.
As a result of two servers in a row, various natural resources are currently experiencing a shortage.
It seems that there was a background to the fact that the winning bid was higher than expected despite the hastily disposed of.
“If you let us dispose of your belongings, we will never disappoint.”
There was no lie on Yongin’s face, full of determination.
This is a completely win-win deal.
Many of the things I have right now are for wizards rather than warriors.
If [Hard Throk] can handle that deal, he can take a great lead against the wizarding country [Arcane].
No matter how much I thought about it, I had no reason to refuse, so I grabbed his outstretched hand.
And I still have countless cards left.
46 A collusion of people from the server? That’s funny.
The reality is that the foundation I have built is hindering their smooth resource extraction.
The Second Fairy War happened too quickly. In the Middle Ages, the inhabitants of the continent were also busy taking care of themselves, so there would have been fewer deals or cooperation with the exiles.
Then, the place to turn to is the future where the entire planet begins to be mined, and it is clear that it will not work because it is extremely sensitive to resource leakage due to the sharp three-way battle there.
Although collusion itself is intentional, it is also a means to hide the fact that the key they hold is not the key to all-around power than they thought.
In the end, it is said that only our party can properly airlift the resources of 46 servers in this kingdom.
I went through the same tutorial, but the starting point is very different.
After that, we would have grabbed and shaken all the [Racial Mainstream] of 46 servers.
It seems that the rewards of hard work are overflowing and will burst. In fact, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a hard time managing my facial expressions.
Yongin also looks very happy.
Dear Mr. Meyer, the corners of his lips began to rise as he understood the reality of the conversation.
There is only one winner at this table.
The loser will be everyone else.
However, I’ll have to look into the eyes of the gods. After that, I will stop by Manshinjeon and then go back home.
Hee-woo and the little boy are busy tasting the dessert no matter what the conversation is now.
After ordering and packing, we left the restaurant.
