Chapter 339. True Water Merchant (1) Allel’s invitation was delivered to all kingdoms that are currently building friendships with Ernesia Kingdom.
He made a new item again!
So if you want to see it, buy it! No, go anyway!
Upon hearing this fact, the neighboring countries were already struggling with worries about the cost of money.
In particular, the countries that were in a position to owe some kind of debt to Ernesia Kingdom were more distraught.
They were in a position where they had to keep an eye on the Kingdom of Ernesia because they had fought over interests or even waged wars in the past or until very recently.
They sighed in worry.
“…Arel Ernesia has sent me a letter saying she wants to show off a new device.”
Hezen Lugiarutania, King of the Kingdom of Damaniel, read the letter sent by Arell and said nervously.
He, who is still struggling day by day since his defeat in the last war, looked weak as if he was five years older today.
“What do you think? Lord Herben?”
Duke Herben, who took the place of the retired chancellor, had to respectfully accept and read the letter from the king, and then make the same expression as the lord.
“A new device…is that a magical tool to purify the water supplied to the city?”
Details are not written, but it is written that they have made these magic tools and are willing to supply them widely to other countries.
Therefore, it was written in such a way that I would like all interested persons to respond to this invitation.
“A magic tool that purifies water. Again, I don’t understand why he made this.”
The king of the kingdom of Damaniel muttered puzzledly.
Purifying the water is quite possible if left to the wizards.
“But isn’t that what the people need?”
Duke Herben carefully advised.
“In fact, in some territories within the kingdom, there are many people who can’t even get clean water and can’t hire wizards easily because of financial problems.”
In that case, the territories have no choice but to survive by drinking muddy water or drinking alternatives.
If that’s the case, isn’t the purpose of development good enough?
“Hmm… that’s right. So, is this a business targeting them this time?”
“At least it’s not a magic tool aimed at aristocrats or rich people.”
Duke Herben’s own speculation caused the king to doubt once more.
“Why did he do this? Is it really necessary to hold a demonstration like this?”
In any case, it was envoys from each country who were called to the demonstration. They are all nobles.
If it’s a business or business targeting the people, wouldn’t it be more effective to directly appeal to them?
At least until now, Arnil Trading Company had been doing business that way.
“I don’t see that there’s no reason. But all I can say is this.”
” Something?”
“How would you know what he meant? His thoughts must be beyond comprehension.”
Duke Herben said something pathetic, but the king did not scold him.
On the contrary, he had a complicated gaze as if he agreed a little.
The reason I didn’t agree verbally was because of my pride.
“What is certain is that at least he wouldn’t have done anything meaningless. Either way, there will be an intention.”
“Well… I think the same way.”
“Would you accept the invitation?”
“At least I can’t look away. I don’t know what other people think. Aren’t we in a position to do that?”
A voice mixed with a bit of self-deprecation.
Can not help it.
Due to the last war, the kingdom of Damaniel had a position that the kingdom of Ernesia could never go against their wishes.
Even if it is a strong sale, there is no way to refuse it.
Duke Herben also sighed in regret about that.
Although the war waged by the predecessor and the mainstream faction at the time and the aftermath of it are by no means simple.
“And the magic tools he made must be unusual. It is necessary to know.”
It’s nothing special, but there’s no way to send an invitation.
There was a good chance that I would regret it if I ignored it.
It’s better to send someone to check it out than not knowing.
“But entry and trading have nothing to do with it. It can’t roll the way he intended. You have to struggle at least.”
In particular, Arel often demanded absurd conditions if the opponent was slightly off guard.
Not only them, but also guys from other countries would know that if they bowed down from the beginning, they would be treated badly.
“I know. That’s why I’m going to send the Marquis of Castel for this invitation, but what do you think?”
At the king’s question, Duke Herben pondered for a while, then nodded as if acknowledging.
“His family has been leading merchants for generations, so he is also good at calculating, so he should be able to make good judgments and negotiate.”
“Then I will send him.”
“Yes, I will call him soon and tell him this.”
“Either way… the most important thing…
the king frowned at what he didn’t like.
As if understanding him, the duke spoke his mind with a voice mixed with a sigh.
“I will tell you to try not to go overboard.”
“…Keep, let’s make it come like that.”
It must have been his petty pride that he couldn’t bear to say it himself.
It must be that the metaphor of going overboard does not easily come out of the king’s mouth.
There are also some personal feelings.
Complex feelings about Ernesia Kingdom still remain.
However, there is a difference between the huge amount of compensation they demand and the power to go against their will.
If so, shouldn’t we try not to use too much?
This is all the cost of foolish choices in the past.
he sighed.
* * *
Envoys from all over the world rode in wagons and were entering the large city of Pahilia one by one.
Carriages carrying envoys from each country line up to pass through the gate as if they were competing.
Marquis Kestel, who was dispatched from the kingdom of Damaniel, is also waiting for the passage procedure like them.
Glancing at the soldier guarding the gate and the coachman conversing for entry and exit procedures, he looked ahead,
“…that carriage? It looks like it’s from Felsen Kingdom. Oh, is the author an envoy from the Principality of Erpen? There is also Lumen Ball.”
Foreign nobles he had never seen before, as well as foreign nobles he had seen once or twice at the last negotiating table, appeared from the carriage.
‘Hmm? But what about that wagon? Where is it from?’
There was also an unusual carriage.
An unusual wagon made entirely of green leaves.
It must have been made of something magical? Marquis Kestel found it strange.
Who the hell is riding on that one?
I was interested, but decided not to get deeply involved.
‘As expected, there seems to be no country that did not respond to the invitation.’
It seems that all those who will gather are gathered.
Heck, if you don’t respond to the invitation, there’s a chance you’ll only go against Arel’s planting.
If he cut off trade, even on a whim, that alone would put most countries and lords in trouble, similar to strangulation.
I’ve never had that before, but I never know if.
Shouldn’t the fearful side bow down first?
That’s why they couldn’t resist Arel’s invitation.
Of course, there are those who are genuinely interested and want to show interest.
However, Marquis Kestel was not the same.
Try hard not to go overboard as much as possible.
That is the chancellor’s advice and his purpose.
‘…The word said it was a magic tool to purify water. I’m not sure. Do I really need that?’
Is it worth all this effort’?
It is not that we do not know the importance of water.
It is admittedly a magical tool related to people’s lives.
But wouldn’t it be something that Arell Ernesia would do herself?
As for water, if you have a magician, you can get clean water as much as you want, and even if you don’t have water, you can replace it with something else.
I know that there are also Young Ji-min who are desperately suffering from it.
As a result, it must be a problem that rots the head of the lords.
‘But it doesn’t look like he’s going to put his hands on it again.’
It’s also dubious.
In any case, his role now is to listen to Arel’s explanation, understand his intentions, and come up with the best answer.
Also, don’t get ripped off!
Ripped off anyway!
Just avoid that!
In any case, it only prevents the overdraft of expensive profiteering.
Certainly, not only Marquis Castel, but also envoys from other countries must have made that pledge.
It is certainly not an illusion that a strange tension has already begun to circulate between these wagons.
It was clear that everyone had a spleen resolution.
I, who had been waiting leisurely drinking tea on the terrace with Pena, smiled with satisfaction at the news that everyone had finally arrived.
yes you are here! I’m here! came very well!
This hogang… no! Customers!
“I thought I would ignore one or two people, but I never thought they would come.”
Everyone seems to be listening well, so I can’t help but be happy.
“…Isn’t it just that Arel is afraid of you and can’t ignore you? Don’t you think everyone has the guts to ignore it?”
Seeing me satisfied, Pena murmured slightly as if she were dumbfounded.
Hearing that, I was a bit embarrassed.
Who the hell are you afraid of? Is my wife talking weird?
“Where do you look in me to be afraid of? Well, I don’t think there’s anyone as good as me.”
“Maybe that’s the point?”
“no way?.”
I just laughed it off and said it couldn’t be.
Pretending you don’t understand is just pretending, in reality I know very well that they fear me.
It was a place where I was invited to demonstrate and explain a magic tool, but I was worried that I would get angry and retaliate if I didn’t respond.
….Do you really think I would?
that’s a bit embarrassing
I’ve never been like that before.
Of course, there is no guarantee that there will be no future.
“Anyway, since everyone came like this, I should explain it well and sell it. Let’s make money? money?.”
The purpose is always one.
If you sell the product you made, you can avoid losing money!
Of course, he is confident in that.
I’ll show you what a pro in sales and hard selling is.
“How do you feel when you see Pena? Do you think they will be interested in the purifier you made this time?”
“Um? Could it be?”
Pena put her teacup down, put her index finger under her lips, pretended to think, then said that.
I taught her in advance how to appeal to them with a new product.
After pondering it, Pena came to a conclusion.
At first, even she looked at me as if she were looking at me as a really vicious person.
“It’s amazing. How do you even think of that?”
No, I’m just pursuing the perfect business?
“So you think it will work?”
“Arel, if it’s the way you thought, wouldn’t they have no choice but to sign the contract obediently?”
“Hmm, if you think so, it will go back like that.”
If she, who has a relatively free-spirited way of thinking, came to a conclusion after considering it seriously, it would be roughly correct.
Pena’s opinion is not something I say to suit my mood, but I came to a conclusion after thinking about it seriously.
then it will go like that
‘Of course, it’s up to me to confirm that.’
In the end, it’s up to me to do it.
