Giranox came out of the studio with charcoal soot smeared all over his face.
“are you okay. I came yesterday, what did I find? How much equipment did you get?”
“After handling high-quality iron, other blacksmiths work hard to see if they can taste the iron. I think we can get all of their gear right before the soldiers’ training is over.”
“It shouldn’t have been easy dealing with blacksmiths, but you did a good job.”
“no!”
I handed the dagger to Giranox, who smiled softly.
“What is this?”
“Pull it out.”
Chan.
“uh? This, this…”
Giranox’s face turned blue when he saw Narui’s sword.
“How could such energy come from an unsharpened dagger…”
As if it was hard to explain, Giranox kept looking at the sword blade here and there, and had a shocked face.
“It lifts me up.”
“I-can I do it? This is not an ordinary thing.”
“Because it’s you, I’m leaving it to you. Please.”
“All right! I will make it a success.”
“You don’t have to do it fast.”
“yes!”
After entrusting Giranox with the Naruin’s sword, returning to the office, Pyran and Peru, who were waiting inside, handed out the documents.
“also?”
“Since it is a rapidly developing territory, there are many things to report or to obtain permission for. What you did earlier is the previous one, and what you are going to do now is today’s work.”
Pyran shrugged and smiled lightly.
“Viscount. Among those documents is the case of a regular licensed gambling establishment. The mercenary in Lodien always came and made a fuss about offering the viscount or opening a gambling parlor…”
Peru opened her mouth as if she was embarrassed.
“Rodien…”
Sooner or later, there will be an incident to act together with her. It would be nice to build some kind of relationship.
“Construction of the gambling hall proceeds immediately.”
I read the official gambling hall documents and signed them.
“All right.”
“Lodian mercenary. Take care.”
“I’m taking care of you really well. Tired enough…”
Peru shook her head with a tired expression. It seems to be suffering quite a bit.
I read all the documents given by Peru and Pyran, signed them, and returned them.
“thank you.”
“I’ve finished the urgent work, so I’ll go out and come back.”
“yes?”
“yes?”
Pyran and Peru, who were about to leave the office, looked back like surprised squirrels.
“Are you leaving again?”
“okay.”
“Where are you going?”
“For now, an empire.”
“Why are you leaving the empire?”
Peru asked curiously. I’m not sure what to answer.
I couldn’t say ‘to find someone who has the ability to find the main character of my novel’, so I just answered as it came out.
“A friend… to find some.”
imperial capital
“uh? Viscount. Do you have any friends?”
Peru has been asking questions that pierce my chest with an innocent expression.
“Peru. you…”
“Oh, I’ve never seen one before…”
“I have some friends too. child.”
“I’m sorry.”
Not here, of course, but in reality…
No, after all, there are a few people here that I can call friends.
First of all, in the capital of the empire where I am going now, there is Moka Gun, the owner of Sacheon Trading. I thought that if it was at the level of Mocha Gun, who went through hardships together, we could call them friends, regardless of age.
You’d better enlist the help of Mokagan when you find him in the capital.
“I’ll go anyway. If nothing happens, I’ll be back soon.”
“How would you like an escort? Shall I call Arin?”
“I’m going to hide my identity, so it’s okay. Arin, Clyde, and Brika will be training, so take care of them.”
“All right.”
Peru nodded, but she didn’t seem to understand, perhaps because of my concern.
“Because there are few people who can touch me. don’t worry. Pyran manager. Please take good care of Yeongji.”
“All right. Be careful.”
“Viscount. Bye.”
“okay.”
After being greeted by the two, I went up to Mount Ekkil and watched the mercenaries guarding the mana stone mine and miners for a while. As if they had already become friends, they were laughing and chatting with each other.
After feeling proud for a while, I went up the mountain and summoned Pomera.
“Pomera.”
“master. Where are you this time?”
As soon as Pomera came out, she was asking me for the location of the warp in a nonchalant voice. Now, it seems that he has firmly imprinted on his role to be my boongboongi.
“The capital of the empire. Aluan.”
“Well, it’s far away, but Aluan is protected by a huge magic circle, so warping is impossible within it. You can’t use the warp that goes inside unless it’s a mage tower.”
“I know, send it far enough out of sight of the guards.”
He said while taking out the mercenary outfit and mercenary plaque from the magic bag. The rank and qualifications of mercenaries are common to the continent, so there should be no difficulty in entering the capital.
“Okay. But it’s far away, so it will take some time.”
“okay.”
“Buck.”
“A proud bird has also arrived.”
“Buck.”
Pomera’s dense energy seems to have gotten used to it, so I rode on Pomera’s pure white collarbone.
“Now memorize your name. It is dense.”
“What did you name it so roughly?”
“hmm…”
“Bap!”
Pomera’s bones were pecked a few times as if he liked them. Pomera ignored Paekbaek who was pecking at her bone and started drawing a magic circle.
“A prophet…”
The people I will visit this time are the prophets who have the ability of foresight, prophecy, and divination in the world of novels.
Realizing that it is difficult to find Rashid in the usual way, he seeks the help of the Prophet.
-prophet?
“huh?”
Agnes, who hadn’t spoken for a while, spoke to me after a long time.
She turned into the weapon I wanted, but she didn’t talk or answer my questions.
-Are you going to the Prophet?
“What have you been doing all this while?”
– Just thinking, pondering.
“thought?”
-okay. Going around with you, I felt that something was changing.
“what?”
Agnes changes?
Unlike the original, Agnes already has special abilities and double characteristics. It won’t be impossible to change once again.
-You said you heard from the Prophet and came to me.
“It did.”
Although it was a lie.
-Ask the Prophet how he can change me.
Even prophets who have the power of prophecy, foreknowledge, and divination do not know everything. Each prophet has different characteristics, and each characteristic has limitations.
If you are inspired, you may not know the whereabouts of the treasure, the location of the dungeon, or the future of humans, but you will never know the release of Agnes’ abilities.
Of course, the prophet is not an almighty. The unlocking of Agnes’ new powers is something I have to find out.
“okay.”
-Are you going to change your face? I’ll do it!
Without asking Agnes, it stuck to my face and changed it into that of an ordinary mercenary with brown hair.
“Am I special?”
People around me are becoming stronger, developing new characteristics, or gradually changing under my influence. I don’t know if I have some kind of ability that I can’t see.
“Huh, Master. It’s done.”
“You are the most unique.”
The skeleton in front of me that is about to reach Buddhahood must be the most mysterious of my subordinates.
“What did you say?”
“no. Can I go up now?”
“exactly.”
I went up to the center of the magic circle created by Pomera.
“Thank you as always.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Um, what with that…”
Embarrassed, Pomera touched the area under her nose that wasn’t there and scratched the white back of her head.
“Then I will send it.”
flash
The skull gourd disappeared, and a large tree appeared in front. A tall wall was visible in the distance. The capital of the empire is Aluan.
– Did you arrive well?
“okay.”
-Then I’ll go.
“great job.”
After sending Pomera and inspecting my body, I headed for the huge entrance that was suitable for the castle wall.
I had to go through a checkpoint and go inside, but there were vendors holding goods in front of me, so it seemed like it would take a while.
“What are the items inside?”
“This is the Poms fruit we have been purchasing.”
“Sacheon Chamber of Commerce? It’s a business that you often hear the name of the fortress.”
“hahahaha, I’m trying to make a name for myself.”
The Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, I heard the name I gave to Mokagun. When I looked at the cart in front of me, there was a small letter written on the side of it, Sichuan.
As soon as I came to the Empire, I never thought that I would see the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce.
Merchants would not even know in their dreams that there is a real Sanghoju of Sacheon Sanghoe behind them.
“It is over, Inspector. Everything is fine.”
“That’s right. Pass.”
“thank you.”
“next.”
Since it was my turn, I handed out the mercenary plaque to the inspector.
“B-class mercenary Baines. What did you come to the capital for?”
“Of course I came to find work.”
“There must be more work in Venuemel, where the incident occurred, than in the capital, right?”
“Wouldn’t you have to risk your life there? I hate taking risks.”
“Hmm, pass.”
The inspector nodded, looked me up and down, and let me in without saying anything.
“If there was an incident in Venuemel, that would be it. I should listen to it sometime.”
Thinking about what the inspector said, I looked for the merchants of the Sacheon Chamber of Commerce that passed right in front of me.
“There he is.”
The cart of the Sachuan Company that we saw earlier was moving along the left street. Silently stuck behind them and moved after them.
The merchants of the Sacheon Chamber of Commerce moved out of the city gate and stopped in front of a three-story building in the downtown area.
“Good.”
The exterior of the building was quite neat, and the surroundings were well cleaned and organized, giving a good impression.
As soon as the merchants arrived, people came out of the building and started moving the carts together.
“Sichuan Chamber of Commerce.”
The Chinese characters I wrote down just in case were written on the signboard of the building. My heart warmed a little as I felt Mochagun thinking of me.
“What are you doing?”
As I approached the Sacheon Chamber of Commerce, a young merchant saw me and approached me.
“Do you have an overlord?”
He answered while showing the token Mokagun gave to the young merchant.
“He is not there now. You went out for a while… What is this? uh?”
The young merchant’s eyes widened when he saw the mark of the mocage.
“Hey, come this way!”
The young merchant bent over and guided me into the building. Seeing that, other merchants who were carrying their luggage stopped what they were doing and looked at us with puzzled expressions.
“The Lord said that if anyone brings this token, he should honor it more than himself.”
“I see.”
“yes. He made a promise to all the merchants.”
The young merchant guided me to the 3rd floor using an extremely respectful title.
“This is the Lord’s room. If you wait inside for a while, I will bring you Lord.”
“thank you.”
“no!”
The young merchant left and looked around the room.
The desk was piled with papers, and the bookshelves were full of books and papers, but nothing like luxury was to be seen.
Anyone can think of it as the room of a monk. As promised to me, Mokagun seems to have been diligently raising the company.
thump thump.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, I heard footsteps coming upstairs quickly.
bang.
“Hey, heck!”
The door opened violently, and the breathless moka gun looked at me with welcome eyes.
“Yure… It’s Shua. Stop and see.”
“All right.”
Mokagun stopped calling my name and sent the young merchant who brought him out.
