8. Start farming magic stones (2)
“The black wolf Hugo is not a soft-spoken person who volunteers.
I am not a person who can move only by spending money. This is the promise I made with Hugo. To find a mate for Mr. Hugo.”
It was something he had tipped off to Cahel in advance. Poin grabbed his greasy head.
What kind of sudden bride-to-be is this?
Are there any women who would marry a monster that could kill anyone with just a glance that is over 2 meters and 30 centimeters tall? Poin let out a sigh.
“Is there anyone who has thought of this again?”
“doesn’t exist. We have to look for it.”
“Yuma-sama, even though you are the leader of the Black Wolf, there is a reason why you still don’t have a mate. What woman can handle him?”
“The world is wide.”
Poin remembered Hugo writing a contract with a pen the size of a child’s forearm.
I had never heard of a human being anywhere in the world using a pen of that size.
Who the hell would such a human being live with?
If you’re an ordinary woman or human, it’s clear that if Hugo strokes your hair and adjusts your strength incorrectly, you’ll go to the other world.
“What if I can’t find a wife?”
“Oh, that is difficult. Then, neither Puang-nim nor I can be people of this world.”
“Yuma-sama, what the hell…
Yuma tapped Poin on the shoulder as if stroking it.
“Does I, a 16-year-old commoner, know a lot about women? Puang will solve this problem. My life depends on Master Puang.”
If you can’t fulfill your contract with Hugo, you can’t be a person in this world. It was true.
He did not dare to throw an empty check at the Ogre Slayer of the Black Wolf and survive.
Yuma also wondered if there would be a woman in the world who could live with that monster-like man just as Poin said.
However, there was a corner to believe.
Poin didn’t know it yet, but it took 10 years for him to get his wife. In other words, Hugo was doing Yuma a favor.
It was unusual for Hugo to be so kind to a person of the Empire.
He gave high marks to the boldness of a boy named Yuma.
Marlon, a lump of fortune that rolled in, was also Yuma’s friend.
Hugo thought Yuma was the boy he coveted even more than Marlon. I thought it would be a taste to watch if I often deal with them and get to know them.
“How could such an ordeal come to me…
Poin said with tears in his eyes.
“Don’t worry too much, won’t it work somehow? ha ha ha.”
Before returning, Yuma had heard that Hugo was very lonely. Seeing him in person today, he looked so lonely that the word ‘solitude’ came out.
Couldn’t he find a Hugo partner in this wide world within 10 years? Yuma thought that the reason Hugo hadn’t gotten married in the past was because he wasn’t actively courting.
Is there anything special if you can’t find it?
After 10 years, the dragon horse war will break out anyway.
After coming down the Egon Mountains, the servants hurriedly began preparing to return.
As before, it took a week to reach the Empire.
Cahel devised all kinds of research to start using the magic stones, and Fuang suffered from nightmares every night.
Arriving in the empire, Yuma confirms that the charges have been successfully cleared.
It was because a secret letter from the Woods family had arrived at Poin’s mansion.
These contents were written in the letter with the signature of Haiwan Woods.
-Requires new armor. Kendo.
Relieved, Yuma wrote a short letter to Haka about her current situation.
Cahel was in charge of rescuing Miryak.
Ordinary people living in the Kyle Empire’s capital actually had no chance to see Miryak.
The most precarious people in the safest city in the world were nowhere to be seen. Few people knew the word in the first place.
However, the wizards used Miryak to conduct various magic studies. Cahel saved about 50 miryaks in one day.
“Kahel, you are doing well.
I will see you often.”
“No way. That’s heaven for me. Come back when the first magic stones are harvested.”
Puang said several times to escort the wagon carrying 10 magic stones to cultivate the garden, but Yuma objected.
“Ten magic stones. A whopping ten outlines! It’s worth buying a few more of the mansion we’re in now!”
“Ugh! Why would a person who would roll hundreds or thousands of magic stones in the future be like this? If you attach an escort for nothing, you will only live with misunderstandings from both the Empire and the Magicians. Not only that, but the same goes for the bandits.”
“What if I get robbed?”
“Do you think that even if the thieves attack you, Cahel-nim will not be able to deal with those bastards? It is the Arch Mage, the Arch Mage.”
“Miryaks could steal it!”
“What if Miryak stole the magic crystal and ran away? He would die before he could even sell it, and the magic crystal would be taken away. They live like beasts, but they are not beasts until their intelligence. They said they would feed, shelter, and protect them, but they threw them away and ran away.”
“Aagh! Anyway, if there is a problem, Yuma-sama will be responsible!”
“sure! I am responsible. How can I serve as an escort for the rest of my life? ha ha ha!”
As Kahel left for Matan, Yuma pondered the future.
In order to prepare for the Dragon Horse War, power is needed.
In order to move power, money is needed first.
This part was solved to some extent by holding a card called Puang.
Even if he sold the magic crystals to be harvested in the future, Puang would become a target at once.
In order to move power, identity is also needed.
That was the problem. Unless you become a knight or a wizard, once a commoner is a commoner forever.
In addition, looking at Marlon Jacques, the swordsman, and Cahel Povian, the arch mage, the status system of the empire approached like a more stubborn wall.
In addition to them, in the history of the empire, no commoners had seized central power in any way.
‘I need a proper noble assistant. The only hand I can use is money. Money that can be earned by selling magic stones. Who would be better if he was a nobleman who would move only by looking at money…
There was no person that came to mind.
If you approached real nobles like Puang or Cahel, it would be fortunate if you did not die or die.
“Ah-oh! pup!”
Pouang cursed at Yuma from the roof of the mansion.
I also wondered if magic stones would really be harvested a year later.
Even the Arch Mage of the Povian family and the Black Wolf were involved in what started like roasting beans over lightning.
Although they wrote a magic contract, the magicians did not compensate for the damages the contractor suffered.
It just finds a branded subject and uses it as a test subject. why did i do that? Puang spat out a series of swear words.
It was difficult to determine what the bastard was thinking about whether it was Yuma or Devil.
Puang sighed and wrote an announcement and called the servants.
“Make copies of these and put some on the bulletin board in Kyle Square.”
“All right.”
The contents of the announcement were as follows.
[We are waiting for a woman suitable for Captain Hugo of the Black Wolf. Ogre Slayer The world’s strongest, absolutely invincible macho! If you are interested, please come to Puang Merchant. Only those who are confident that they will not faint even
in the face of overwhelming energy should come.
Puang handed out a notice to Yuma and said. As soon as Yuma saw the announcement, he couldn’t hold back the laughter that burst out.
“Isn’t this the only way to save it! Don’t laugh!”
“Oh sorry. But it’s a good number. Rumors that he was a merchant with Hugo as his assistant appeared even before he harvested the magic stones.”
It was the most one-dimensional way, but it was also the best.
It was a huge issue in itself if Hugo, not another person, sought a mate through the Imperial Merchant.
The great aristocrats, such as the three families of Jacques Rollmandi Fovian, would not be interested in it, but of course, it was something that would be of interest to those who did not hold power in the capital among the middle and middle nobles.
As long as he had Hugo of the Black Wolf as his son-in-law, he would have a means to keep the upper nobles in check.
“As expected, Mr. Puang! It is wonderful that you have conceived such a trick. It is worthwhile to decide to work with Poo Ang. Well done.”
As expected by Yuma, no one came for the first few days.
Most people just laughed at it, thinking that the merchant was risking their lives for a joke.
However, whenever Poin met the nobles he traded with, he had to ask questions about finding that strange bride.
“Are you really looking for Hugo’s mate?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“How did you get to know Hugo?
Is he really that strong?”
“It’s a business partner.”
“Hugo doesn’t do business with the upper reaches of the Empire. How many merchants do you know who pay me?”
“It is an exclusive deal.”
When Poin took out the contract with Hugo’s seal, the nobles’ attitude changed from then on. First of all, he changed the complete lower class he had been giving to Puang to a decent lower class.
For example, it was like this.
– I will pay the receivables soon. Are you pressuring me to pay you now? Hey, drag interest out. Sprinkle with salt too!
The nobles who used to talk like this paid more attention to their vocabulary.
-I’m really sorry about the receivables. The money will be made and sent as soon as possible. Why don’t you go and have a cup of tea?
It was the first time in his life that he had been treated with respect to the aristocrats.
Hugo’s contract wasn’t just a contract, it was like a certificate that he was under the protection of the Black Wolf.
Poin had the idea that he might be able to find a mate for Hugo.
In this way, Puang was able to recover his self-esteem, which had been lowered by Yuma for a while, while taking care of the corps that had been delayed for a long time.
Poin’s prediction that bandits would attack Cahel’s carriage was correct.
Before reaching the Egon Mountains, Cahel was attacked by a group of 10 bandits.
They were the first group of bandits to attack the Arch Mage of the Empire.
Usually, there is no way that an Arch Mage goes around without an attendant like that, so he didn’t know.
Besides, Cahel wasn’t even wearing a wizard’s hat, so it wasn’t unreasonable to be mistaken.
“I mean these stupid bastards!”
When Cahel chanted a spell mixed with a few simple lightning spells, the thieves collapsed in shock and convulsions without being able to swing their swords once.
Kahel ordered Miryaks to capture them and take them to the Land of Matan to be used as workers.
The magic stone farming started smoothly.
