Chapter 319,
Chapter 97. Joshua’s counterattack (3)
“As for Joshua’s villa… is that the secret villa Sir Luna told you about?”
“That’s right Sir Casimir. It’s a place I’ve been thinking of raiding at least once anyway.”
Joshua owned dozens of private villas.
Among them, a total of five places are classified as secret villas or safe houses.
-My sister’s trip to the Black Sea is also a good thing for me. I wonder what kind of mission my father and the former Dark Knights were carrying out there, and why my father’s Runcandel is so obsessed with the Black Sea. Please take this opportunity to find out for sure.
-i get it. It’s the first time my father has taken a non-comrade to the Black Sea, so I’ll bring you good news. Instead, you have to drink with me all night and talk about what happened outside.
Before leaving for the Black Sea, Luna told Jin of two of the five secret villas.
It was the information I found out after being asked by Jin to ‘find out about Joshua’ during the Seongguk incident.
“You’re not saying let’s hit it right now, are you?”
“I’d like to do that, but Kuzan and Yulian haven’t returned from the southeastern part of Mittel yet.”
The dragons couldn’t work together to attack Joshua’s secret villa. It was because the moment the dragon intervened, there could be a problem when there were survivors among the enemies.
The Black Dragon, the guardian deity of the family, and the Silver Dragon, who is unofficially wanted by Bement, attacked Runcandel.
“And you need to confuse him. Let me show you how hard it is to get money. While complaining about that fact, I can’t wait to see what he will look like after his secret villa is robbed.”
“However, it is true that there is a high possibility that Confucius will actually suffer rather than suffering. First of all, the captains of the turkeys are meeting with Bement’s connections, but… To be honest, I don’t want to spend the imperial family’s money.”
“I understand Sir Casimir.”
“Of course, if the situation does not continue to improve, I intend to bow my head at least to the imperial family. The Emperor… will give you a lot of money unconditionally if I ask for it.”
There was nothing that could hurt his pride more than bowing his head to the imperial family that exiled him.
Although Casimir is ready to give up his pride as he has many qualifications of a good leader. I didn’t want to use that last resort.
Jin also did not want Casimir to suffer such an insult because of him.
“If it’s money, I’ll get it for you, so don’t worry too much. Strawberry no. As Gilly said, it would still be impossible to beat Joshua with financial power, but we will prevent the city from bankrupting.”
Casimir put his hand on Jin’s shoulder and smiled as if he was moved and apologetic.
“I am ashamed, Confucius. It seems like you are putting too much burden on Confucius every time.”
“What do you mean, Sir Casimir? This is a problem that happened to me in the first place. don’t think like that Apologizing is the right thing for me to do.”
“No, Gongja Jin did nothing wrong…”
“They are playing around a lot. just a little bitch. Guess they both got it wrong. So, how are you going to get the money?”
“You are a dragon. Do you have any hidden wealth?”
“doesn’t exist. Will there be such a thing left in the yard that Runcandel is using, the storm castle that was my home in the first place?”
“Then you should sell some of your vomit and scales. It will sell very hot for perfume and armor materials.”
“what!?”
Then Gilly let out a smirk.
“Just kidding, what if you’re so upset? First of all, you need to borrow the money you need right away. Start a business that has been put off.”
“What business is the business?”
“A business prepared by the Golden Snow Tribe friends. I have to be busy. It’s been a while since I went on vacation, so don’t empty the sword garden for too long.”

The place Jin found the next day was Beament.
This time, he disguised himself and entered the country with a false identity. He dyed his hair gray and dressed up like an artist belonging to a wealthy aristocratic family using golden snow cosmetics.
‘It seems like there are a lot of things I have to hide even after becoming a horseman.’
In her arms, she was holding a pottery wrapped in the finest silk.
– Do you really have to take it? It’s a pretty precious thing though.
– There is a place to write.
-Can’t you do anything else? That’s an artwork that can’t be converted to a value that is more than 1,500 years old…
-Hey! You’re a guardian dragon too, huh? What is the role of the guardian dragon? They say they need a thousand-year contract, so just hand it over. Come on haha Kid, where do you want to use this? How about breaking it in front of him?
– No, let’s get right. little brother
Not too long ago, when I visited ‘The Tabernacle’, a tavern run by Misha.
Jin recognized at a glance that the interior decoration of the high-class bar was unusual.
The owner of a top-notch tavern that is strictly operated on a membership basis is a dragon with an excellent sense of aesthetics who has lived for over 3,000 years.
Among the objects decorated inside, there were also ancient artworks that even archaeologists had never seen before.
Among them, Jin asked for the pottery, which was placed in Misha’s most cherished position (her sleeping quarters).
‘I wanted to use it at a better time, but I can’t help it. This is not bad either. Thank you Mischa.’
Just in case you find it here.
“You have arrived, sir.”
“Your change is gone.”
After paying the wages and getting off the wagon, I immediately saw a fortress that looked like a mountain.
Dozens of gatekeepers dressed in glittering armor were guarding the east, west, south, and north, and this was the home of Hiran.
Geomwangseong.
A name that is arrogant and convincing, befitting the best swordsman.
Jin, who had been looking up at Geomwangseong for a while, moved closer to the gate.
Unlike the overbearing fortress, the gatekeepers unexpectedly welcomed Jin very kindly.
As can be seen from Dante’s personality, Hiran was a family that had a good image externally as much as Jiple.
“What did you come for?”
“Oh, I am a craftsman named Paul Gray Mick. The pottery ordered by Sir Dante the other day has been completed, and I have come to personally deliver it to you.”
The gatekeepers glanced at the pottery Jin was holding. Then he nodded as if he was aware of it, because in fact, it is often the case that Dante asks for pottery.
“This friend will guide you, so go into the drawing room and wait.”
“You must give it directly to Sir Dante.”
“I can’t tell you for sure that Lord Soga will come out in person. However, all of this is unavoidable because the Lord Soga is busy with construction, so don’t think badly of it.”
I almost smiled at the part where the gatekeeper called Dante a cow.
I know that Dante walked the Tantan-daero before returning, but experiencing it in person felt completely different.
“How dare you think that? It was completed faster than expected, so I came without telling you in advance. I just want to thank you for your hospitality.”
“Of all the artists I’ve ever met, he’s the most common-sense person.”
I followed the gatekeeper and entered the drawing room in the castle.
A cold wind was blowing in the spacious drawing room, as if Jin was the only person who came to Hiranga today.
Incoming was successful.
However, it was doubtful whether Dante would be able to recognize the name ‘Paul Gray Mick’. If you don’t understand it, you have to approach it in a different way, which can be cumbersome.
I stood still and chatted with the gatekeeper, waiting for a while.
Maybe 30 minutes passed.
Fighting…!
From the hallway leading out of the drawing room, I heard someone’s footsteps running.
“No. Where is Paul Gray Mick!?”
Dante, who was reflexively trying to call Jin, hurriedly changed his name. As soon as he appeared, the gatekeeper saluted moderately, and Jin bowed his head as if he had seen his master.
“Oh hmm. hmm! It was a long-awaited work like this, so I looked rude. You go back now.”
“Yes, Lord Soga!”
As soon as he confirmed that the gatekeeper had disappeared, Dante hugged Jin tightly.
“You Jin! Is there a way to come here without contact? I don’t know how many more than that! How have you been? You’ve grown stronger while I couldn’t see you!”
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a unique gulp voice.
“Speak slowly, Dante. You look a bit tall.”
“It was about a finger taller. You know that.”
Despite growing up, Dante was still much smaller than Jean. The innate musculature is inevitable.
However, Jin could immediately recognize how great of a practice he had been during the last time he hadn’t been in touch.
‘I became Sogaju at 19, and my swordsmanship must have reached a point where even the expression ‘genius’ would not be enough. It seems like you’re still trying ten times harder than everyone else.’
I was proud
I’d like to open a table and relax, but I didn’t come here today for that purpose.
“Dante, I have a favor.”
“Oh tell me anything.”
“Please lend me some money.”
A friend who asks you to borrow money first after a year or a few months is definitely not a good friend.
But Dante thought it would be okay if it was Jin. It means that even if you ask for something bigger than money, you can listen.
“How much do you need? Ah, now I have to pay back the money I borrowed from you while escaping from the kingdom the other day. I’ll pay you an awful lot of interest.”
“About 300 million gold coins.”
“Okay… Now hold on. Please say it one more time.”
“I need 300 million.”
Dante felt a cold sweat run down his back for the first time in a long time. 300 million gold coins was a huge amount of money even for Sogaju of Hailan.
“Did you, by any chance, ask you to retrieve the 300 million bounty instead of appointing you as a rider in Runkandel?”
“That’s not right. Can I get it?”
“I can use such a large amount of money only after receiving permission from my grandfather. But the justification for asking your grandfather is not enough.”
Jin removed the silk covering the porcelain.
“Why don’t you say it’s for this pottery?”
Dante is not very well versed in the arts, but he recognizes that Jin’s pottery is by no means an ordinary object.
It was thanks to his visit to the finest pottery every day in the study and workshop of his grandfather Ron Hylan, a pottery maniac.
However, no matter how excellent the pottery is, is 300 million gold coins worth talking about? When in doubt
“I was wondering who the guy who rocked my grandson’s heart a few years ago was.”
A new voice came from the other side of the drawing room.
Ron Hyran.
The head of Hiran, a peerless knight who competed the longest against the founding knight Shiron Runcandel. It was his voice.
“I didn’t know you were such a swindler. 300 million gold coins? Did you just listen to that nonsense? It’s disappointing, Dante.”
“Uncle Joe. Iza is not a fraudster, let me explain…”
Serung…!
Ron drew his sword from his waistband.
Then, the energy that came out of the sheath caused a slight earthquake in the drawing room and the air was distorted.
“Besides, that guy has a foul smell unique to Runkandel.”
“Grandpa!”
“I will not kill you. I will take one of your arms instead, so take it as a lesson and never come in front of Dante again.”
