Episode 604 Goblin Principality (3)
“Panking….”
The branch manager, who had been traveling upward for over three weeks to take care of Hafman’s work instead, collapsed.
His beard, which had grown nicely, was as dry as a dried squid.
“No more! No you can’t!”
The branch manager lay down on the floor as if he were hungry.
Halfman smiled and rolled him.
“Hahahaha! Thanks to you, branch manager, the pile of gold walked right in. Hehehe.”
The way he smiled as if he had lost his mind while looking at the gold coins piled up on his desk was exactly that of a vicious pimp.
Halfman took out the parchment from under the gold coins and handed it to the branch manager.
“What is this?”
“This time it is Gehel.”
“If it’s Gehel… isn’t it a holy kingdom?”
“okay. I had to send someone I could trust, but you just came in. What is it? Departure is tomorrow.”
How can you start thinking about rolling just by looking at your own face?
The branch manager questioned with tears in his eyes.
“Sober! Do you know how old I am? I’ve been working hard for the past few days, and I’ve forgotten the names of my grandchildren! Please send some home!”
Perhaps the conscience, which was left as much as ant poop, finally felt remorse at those words that were met with evil.
Halfman made a decision after much thought.
“Then find someone to replace you and go.”
someone to replace?
How many people who could be sacrificed passed through the head of the branch manager.
Of course, they were also constantly being rolled by Hafman, but what about it?
You are now at an age where you can rest in your old age, but aren’t they at an age where they can chew and swallow stones!
‘It’s a law to go through hardships when you’re young, even if you pay for it. cancer.’
Although he did not know it himself, he was a branch manager whose mindset was completely similar to Hafman’s.
Deciding to sell out his comrades for freedom, he said with a nod of his head.
“There is a lot of talent at the top, so what are you worried about? Just leave it to me.”
“That too. It is safe to entrust it to anyone as they are the talents selected by Taesangdanju himself. It is worthwhile to bow to Lord Taesangdan every day! Hahahaha!”
“Then I’ll be gone, Danju.”
Hafman’s mind will change.
The branch manager said goodbye and left the office.
Left alone in his office, Hafman drank warm tea and touched gold coins.
“Come to think of it, Taesangdanju hasn’t been in touch lately.”
I used to contact Sujeong-gu at least once every 15 days at the latest, but there was no news for over a month as if something had happened.
When you are thinking about whether or not you should contact him.
A quiet knock came from outside the door.
Knock-knock-
Did the branch manager come back?
Halfman said, pushing the gold coin away for a moment.
“Come in.”
Then unexpected faces started to come in.
Like a patient with stiff facial muscles, Zeke entered with a smile on his face.
“A long time.”
“Zeke? what’s going on here? I heard that the lord entrusted the work…”
He wondered if he had come to visit him.
As I was looking at him with strange eyes, Chung-young, who followed him, spoke in a small voice.
“My lord’s work is being carried out safely. But… there was a problem there, so I came here to get help.”
“problem? help?”
It’s just words I don’t understand.
Zeke confided in Hafman, who wanted a more detailed explanation.
Goblins entered the Duchy of Soleil.
And the fact that their population has increased and the village has prospered, making it difficult to move their residence.
In the middle of the talk, they appealed how hard they were carrying out Ray’s orders, but Hafman didn’t even eat the seeds.
Hafman, who had been listening to the story, was dumbfounded and full of energy.
“So tell me to take care of the goblins?”
“Looking after you. That’s a bit too much.”
“That’s right. We just want to get a little help from the top.”
Words are a small help, but what I want is a huge amount of money.
For Harfman, who treasured gold coins next to Ray, losing unnecessary money was as painful as having his own child sold to bandits.
Doesn’t seem worth thinking about.
Harpman refused at once.
“no! I can’t give you my money!”
“Don’t be petty and spend a few bucks!”
“The upper ranks can’t be relaxed enough to fill the stomachs of the goblins!”
Zeke was also stunned when the sophomore of the upper ranks, who was called the best in the continent, insisted that he had no money.
“Because it’s worth the investment!”
“joy! Swindlers always say that!”
Seeing no sign of backing down, Zeke decided to calm down again.
He suddenly changed into a low profile, rubbing his hands and said.
“I don’t like investing valuable money in mere monsters either. But are they different? Newborn baby goblins put mana on their swords?”
Does your throat burn while talking?
He swallowed half a cup of black tea in one gulp and continued to speak.
“I don’t know if it’s one or two, but it’s like 4,000. All of these guys are Auro users, so what if they become an army later on?”
Over 10,000 Auror users, goblins.
Just imagining it is a terrifying force.
Zeke, who was examining Harpman’s expression, gently seduced him.
“On the way up, if there are bandits that bother you, send a few goblins. I assure you, most of them just… snug.”
As he pretended to slit his throat, Hafman also fell into thought.
There were certainly quite a few wild vegetables that were difficult to deal with by hiring mercenaries.
Thanks to them blocking the road, the money going out for tolls was substantial.
Besides, even if it rots, it’s Junchi.
No matter how far he looks, Sieg is the continent’s youngest sword master.
The goblins he spoke of were also what the Sword Master had promised, so they wouldn’t be useless at all.
‘I don’t know if it’s okay to invest if it’s the right amount of money.’
The fact that they were monsters bothered me, but whatever.
Hafman remembered what the goblin queen he had met had told him clearly.
Unlike the other goblins, they were intelligent, so some level of conversation would work.
That’s probably why Zeke came all the way here to negotiate.
Besides, Hafman was willing to join hands with kobolds, not even goblins, as long as it brought him money.
He said again as if to confirm.
“Are you sure?”
Were his words a catalyst?
As soon as Harpman, who had been extremely opposed to it, seemed to change his mind, Zeke nodded furiously.
“of course! If it’s a lie, you can take care of Cheongyeong for ten years!”
“What do you mean by that?”
Cheongyoung, who was suddenly sold, complained.
Halfman nodded and accepted the offer.
“good. If it’s a condition of serving the royal guard for ten years, it’ll be about a penalty.”
“Ha half man! I never gave permission!”
As the matter escalated, Chung-young, who became afraid of the future, argued again, but the two of them were not listening to him anymore.
“I want to talk about funds…”
“As I said in advance, don’t expect huge funds. It’s still just to have fun.”
“Chung Young. Why don’t you stop trembling and come over here and sit down?”
Zeke called the ice-hard blue young.
Sold as collateral, he glanced at Zeke.
“The debt… I will definitely pay it back, Zeke.”
cringe
The sound of grinding teeth could be heard even by Hafman.
It was an eerie sound that made me worry about whether my gums would be safe.
It is said that if a woman harbors resentment, frost will form even in May.
Deeply afraid of the future, Zeke gulped down his saliva.

Several priests sighed as they looked at the ‘entrance’ of the ceremony.
“It’s been over a year.”
“I don’t know how many thousands of troops have already been sacrificed. How did the saint come back alive in this place…”
Demonic Scenery (魔境).
So far, tens of thousands of troops have rushed to destroy this place, but not a single one has returned alive, let alone destroyed.
Even now, reckless adventurers often joined parties and entered, but their words were miserable.
If you listen to the deafening wails and screams coming from inside, at least you won’t be alive.
A young priest said while examining the entrance of the Devil’s Palace.
“But it is amazing. If you still come around here, your divine power will weaken.”
“It’s because the demons suck mana. The demonic realm that was created in Silia was eliminated by the Holy Son, but this place is still there.”
“Is His Holiness not concerned? It wouldn’t be good for the prestige of the kingdom if such a hideous thing was right in front of us.”
“How can you not care? However, because the loss of troops was great, you have no choice but to ignore it even though you know it.”
The Holy Kingdom was still in the middle of a religious war.
Although they did not fight in an all-out war with their troops, a lot of blood was shed behind them.
satellite and demonic religions.
For a new religion that had just emerged, its power was huge, and it was only about maintaining the status quo for a holy nation that had lost quite a lot of troops due to the demonic world.
So, the Pope has no choice but to focus on the Demonic Realm.
The priests took a look at the demon scene and soon began to fill the empty magic crystal.
“Still, fortunately out of misfortune. Because you can resell the magic stones you bought at a low price at a high price.”
So far, the area around here is low on mana.
Although Celia’s demonic realm was destroyed and some degree of divine power returned, it did not completely return.
That’s why every now and then, if you fill up a magic crystal full of mana and sell it, the merchants will buy it at a high price.
The old priest smiled bitterly.
“How did such a bizarre thing come about…”
The moment he brought the magic stone to the entrance of Juseomjuseom.
A faint light shimmered at the entrance of the Demon Realm.
Its appearance was just like a lantern, so the priest was greatly surprised.
“Look at this! Come over here!”
