Chapter 494
Episode 494 Declaration of War (5)
There is a saying to check the other person’s room before getting married.
As much as that, the owner’s traces are well buried in the room.
Whether you like fancy things or frugality, whether the target is lazy or diligent, what colors you like, what hobbies you have, what your job is, and so on.
Just looking at a room without knowing anything about its owner gives you a rough outline of the person.
For example, like this reception room where I am sitting now.
“…….”
The interior is full of dignified and luxurious atmosphere.
Although the interior was not overtly extravagant, the furniture and ornaments that could be felt at a glance that a considerable amount of money had been spent.
bazaar.
The table is so full of various types of sweets that it is hard to believe that they were prepared for one person.
Jorreureu-
A dedicated attendant stands by the door at all times, and whenever the glass is more than half empty, he comes and fills the glass to the proper level.
Oh, of course, there was a separate point of fire.
‘I think this is the first reception room with a dedicated musician.’
A bald musician who sits in a corner of the reception room and plays songs with a comfortable tone on a stringed instrument.
‘Seeing how they’re playing, it doesn’t seem like they’ve been called specially for today.’
It reminds me of what kind of person the owner of this waiting room is.
‘The essence is that it’s a merchant.’
In this reception room, the purpose of serving customers was more revealed than the purpose of showing off.
So even if you just sit there, you will know.
It’s not how rich this landlord is, but how hard he treats me.
‘The appointment time is 5 minutes later. It looks like he’s coming just in time.’
In that sense, I crossed my legs and opened the newspaper.
It was a newspaper that I opened randomly, but my story was in the article from the first page.
In fact, I think it would have been similar no matter which newspaper I chose.
[The great hero, Baron Yandel, recorded on the Stone of Honor, draws his sword against the rebels in the underworld…!]
The events that took place in the black market three days ago were finally published and published in an article.
Well, even if Mozlan kept quiet, he couldn’t have hidden the 397 slaves from anyone’s knowledge.
‘Still, the fact that most of the buyers were aristocrats was not included in the article.’
It was an article with holes drilled here and there, but there was still a lot of helpful information.
For example, all the slaves who were dealt with death were restored to their status.
I am staying at a temporary shelter prepared by Mozlan, and I am preparing a policy of not receiving taxes for 5 years as part of damage relief.
Oh, there was also an interview.
[……You said that regret is not me, but you guys have to do it.]
It was anonymous, but looking at the contents, it seems like I’m a kid behind bars…
‘Oh, did the black market close at all? see? Well, at times like this, it’s best to lie flat.’
While I was reading the newspaper so eagerly, a servant who was waiting at the entrance approached me.
“Count Alminus has arrived.”
“okay?”
I closed the newspaper I was reading and put it down on the table.
“Come in.”
It was time to start a business.

「The character’s Fame value has increased by +10.」
「The character’s Fame value has increased by +10.」
「The character’s Fame value has increased by +10……」
「….. ..」
「…….」

“Hahahahahaha!”
“haha……!”
The vulgar laughter and the dignified old man’s laughter harmonize exquisitely in the hall.
And a photographer next to the table is taking pictures of us like that.
For very business reasons.
The A-cut that photographer is going to take is worth 2.135 billion stones.
“Baron Yandel, just a little… a little bit more savage… no, can you smile like a man?”
“Of course! Hahahahahahahaha!!
” The Count said over there. I would appreciate it if you could smile while staring at that place.”
“Of course. haha! Heh heh heh heh…!”
Count Alminus offered me to take a friendly photo with him instead of withdrawing the 2.1 billion dollar lawsuit against me.
Every photo of me is a piece of history. As an old man with only a few days left to
live, he seemed to value how he would be remembered after death.
Of course, at first, I wondered what kind of modification this was, but
… Okay.
Isn’t that right. If I had a personal photo of my grandfather with Einstein, I would look very cool.
“Hahahahahahahahaha!!”
“Heh heh! Heh heh heh…!”
Anyway, after laughing for a long time for that reason, the photographer made a request. They
said that friendship that transcends age and ethnicity could not be revealed at this level.
After that, the photographer gave me a cheap bottled beer . Then, after giving the Count a wine glass, he made a toast.
And…
“Okay! Very good!”
That was today’s A-cut.
The count looked very satisfied after checking the photo himself, gave him a bonus, and with that, today’s business is all over.
“Heh, you’ve worked hard, Baron. You must be tired, so have a meal and go.”
“It’s okay. I’m hungry.”
“……?”
Oh mistake mistake.
“Because there is someone waiting at home. Unfortunately, I think we’ll have to eat next time.”
“Yeah, yes… It’s best to have a meal with your family if possible.”
Like a business-minded grandpa, the Count laughed at my mistake
and made me a suggestion . “By the way ,
you did a great job a while ago, didn’t you? isn’t that The fact that he went through the black market and saved 397 slaves and came back.”
“Ah…….”
“Looking at your young blood, my blood boils for the first time in a long time. What? So I wonder if I can contribute a hand to your good deed…”
Heh, I was about to say something.
He politely asked if I could raise the spoon
. “They said .
There are almost 400 of them, but they haven’t found a place to live yet?”
“…but?”
“I think I can use my strength if you allow me. Even if they get tax exemption, wouldn’t they need a house to start anew?” It
was a pretty surprising proposal.
To give one house to over 400 people.
The Arminus family isn’t considered the richest person in the kingdom for nothing.
“Hero . Growing up is a good thing for the world. do whatever you want. Why would I refuse?”
I readily accepted the Count’s proposal.
Even if it’s not pure goodwill, it will be a great support for the parties involved.
“Don’t worry. In the end, you will be the main character.”
After that, I left the county.
And the next morning, an article appeared on the front page of the newspaper.
[The Earl of Alminus promised a personal donation worth 2 billion stones. It’s just helping an old friend, nothing special—.]
It was with the
photos
taken
that day.
And…
“It’s been a while since the labyrinth was closed!!”
Someone nervously yelled at me.
“Uh uh…?”
“First, get this document. From now on, don’t even think about going out until you check and pay for it!”
Shabin, who seems to have gotten rougher while
I have
n’t seen him. Huh?”
“…….”
“But why are there so many documents? Most of the authority would have been delegated to you, right?
” As the shortfall budget grows rapidly, I have to set up a total budget every month, but I can’t do this. Mr. Yandel didn’t come ,
so he had to fill out temporary approval documents each time and record them temporarily in the ledger
.
While thinking about that, Shabin’s eyes flashed.
“Don’t even
think about running away .
” There’s nothing wrong with it! I set the budget for the tribe, I just write down how much I will sell the next piece of land, and I just set my salary!”
Shabin raised his voice as if he wasn’t even excited.
To be honest, I didn’t understand.
I know you’re using irony. But…….
“Why not?”
“…………Yes?”
“Shabin I believe in you. I don’t know about anyone else, but as much as you.”
“…………?”
“If I make a mistake, I won’t blame you and I will take full responsibility. Because I believed in you and put you in that position. That’s why I’m the chief of the tribe.”
“…….”
“So trust yourself and try it. No matter what anyone says, you are the best in this field. Like I’m an expert in the labyrinth. You, who are more diligent than anyone else, will think deeply and make a decision that will be better than mine.”
Okay, looking at your face, it seems that the persuasion is almost complete.
Now it’s your turn to deliver the final blow.
“Your salary is the same. Take as much as you want.”
“……Then it must be really big trouble?”
“Well. If it’s the value you set on yourself, I will never deny that value.”
After I finished, Shabin looked at me without saying a word for a long time.
And how long had passed.
“…I always thought about it. I wouldn’t do that if I was there. I could do better. But it must have been frightening to stand in such a place.”
“Everyone is afraid at first.”
At my warm encouragement, Shabin clenched his fist as if he had made up his mind.
“…I will try. If you don’t do it even after hearing that, there’s no excuse. I’m just that kind of person.”
“Yes, do it well.”
After successfully escaping, I left the tent without looking back.
Then, I found Einar, who was wandering around the Holy Land, and sent me on a mission.
“The warrior within the Holy Land . Gather all of them?”
“Yes, I have something to say.”
I’m sorry to the administrative corps who are struggling day and night, but in fact, this is the reason I came to the Holy Land today. This time, I need
a little performance.
will do But it’s probably quite a lot.”
“A lot?”
“Didn’t you know? These days, everyone is building houses, so there are overflowing warriors who eat and sleep in the Holy Land.” ”
I heard that the 3rd sale is over, but there won’t be many of them, right?” ”
Can’t you build a house by yourself ? Everyone calls friends of friends and builds houses every day.”
Oh, that’s right.
“Call everyone anyway! Be sure to tell me that something fun will happen!”
“Funny…?”
“You’ll know later.”
“Whoa! You’re up to something! Whatever it is, do it right now! I’ll join too!”
So Einar went off to gather the warriors excitedly, and I waited at the appointed place. As
time passed, the warriors who heard the news started to gather one by one. Most of them were a
little unfamiliar.
The warriors were holding hammers in their hands,
the fake hammers used to drive in
nails
. The third great warrior recorded on the Stone of Honor!!!”
The warriors who arrived first saw me and went into a state of extreme
excitement .
Did you call all of us like this!”
“Let’s do it now!!”
Apparently, these guys also had a hard time mentally building a house.
“Wait! I’ll let you know when everyone gathers!”
After about an hour passed, the entire forest was filled with barbarians. When
this much people gathered, it was full of all sorts of noise, befitting the characteristics of warriors who thought it was a festival
. -!Kuung-!
The warriors who started beating their chests like drums and enjoying themselves.
” Bjorn.”
“In the Holy Land,
it’s the tribal chief.
”
I have to say it.
Long words were not needed for the excited warriors.
“Everyone! me! Follow me!!”
I shouted without a destination or goal. However
, as soon as I started walking after that cry, the warriors gave me a way, and after I left the open road, everyone started following me
.
Bjorn, the son of !!”
“Gajaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A long procession made up of 100% pure barbarians.
Soon after arriving at the gate connected to the city, the warriors standing guard opened the gate wide without questioning or questioning.
.The
gate opens with a clunky mechanical sound.
And like the first day I woke up in this body, a familiar gray city appeared beyond the gate.
Well-maintained roads and stone buildings.
A spire towering high into the sky visible between them.
“Let’s go.” Ah
!!
_
_ Baron Yandel! Yandel
Baron Mom? ”
” That’s
right ……!
”
-!
The tightly closed window opens and countless citizens’ faces watch our procession beyond it.
With only one question in mind.
“But… where the hell are they going?”
“I see… ..”
“Shouldn’t you call the guard? No matter how many people there are together…” In
fact, soon after, guards belonging to the National Security Agency urgently mobilized and appeared in front of us. “Hey
, I see Baron Yandel.”
Is it?”
“That’s… I got a report…”
“Are you going to arrest me? We’re just walking down the street?”
“I can’t believe it! no. Absolutely not!”
“That’s it. Get out of the way.” After saying that
, he
moved his steps again, and the captain of the guard moved out of the way with a bewildered
face
. “I see
Baron Yandel.”
A group of knights from Mozlan, notorious for being authoritative.
However, it couldn’t apply to me.
Can I hear you?”
“Why do I have to answer?”
“I heard that this kind of event has never been reported to any institution… I’m asking to confirm.”
Of course, I had no reason to answer honestly.
“It was just that I’m just taking a walk, so don’t worry about it.”
“…Are you talking about a walk?”
The Mozlan knight put on a puzzled expression.
If I were an ordinary person, I would have given any reason to disperse them and furthermore set an example for some of the instigators. He would have arrested him, but…
“Do you doubt me when I say I’m taking a walk?”
Because I’m the baron of this kingdom.
“It couldn’t be. I’m just concerned. With more than 1,000 armed groups gathered, we also need to keep track of the situation. Please understand with a broad understanding.”
“There is no way for us to leave Labigion. Where is this enough answer?”
Commelby, the commercial district.
When he revealed that he had no intention of going further to the ecliptic, the group of knights nodded with a slightly relieved expression.
“Maybe… can we follow you?”
“There is no reason for me to interfere with you walking down the street.”
“Thank you…”
Finally, the knights dispatched from Mozlan did not stop me and agreed to follow me
. ”
They ‘re
barbarians
!
”
Magic Tower…! The barbarians are going to the Mage Tower!!”
Seeing us walking in one direction, the citizens gradually noticed the end of the procession. And this further increased the level of excitement of the Barbarians
. Were we going to the Mage Tower!”
“Bjorn, the son of the great warrior Yandel!!!”
“The tribal chief is leading us into a holy battle!”
“Time to smear the flesh on the mage’s bones!!
” Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh “”
Like a footless word goes by thousands.
These warriors’ cry is to the citizens.
“These
are these crazy guys ……!
” But why?”
“Heart! Because of the barbarian heart! Because the wizards are using their hearts as magic materials!”
“…I don’t know what will happen, but today I’m going to have a really rare sighting.” No matter
what the people around me say, I silently moved on.
And how much time had
passed .
I stopped walking,
the towering black spire and the crowd of spectators gathered in the plaza in front of it
, and
…
Even the magicians.
“…….”
“…….”
As the confrontation began, silence fell on the square where thousands of people had gathered. Square.
An old wizard came out as a representative.
“I am Wibels Guiln, the chief mage of the Langman School.”
The chief wizard is the same rank as a long disciple in terms of martial arts.
And since the Master of the Langman School is the Mage Master, this old man is the right one. It’s like being the second person in the Mage Tower…
“Will you introduce yourself now?”
Asking knowingly.
Maybe it’s because he’s a wizard, but he really likes formalities.
“Introduction… ..”
I smiled and opened my mouth.
The giant.
The leader of Clan Anabada.
The tribal chief of the barbarians. The baron
of Lapdonia.
Now, without any modifiers that do not need to be mentioned first.
“I am Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
Let’s introduce ourselves briefly. The old wizard took a long breath and nodded
. It’s nice to meet a hero you’ve only heard about in rumors. But what happened to Baron Yandel in the Magic Tower?”
“I came to do something that should have been done a long time ago.
” .”
“Is that so? Then I’ll tell you.”
I shouted loudly so that the half-deaf old man and all the citizens gathered in this plaza could hear.
“I, Bjorn, son of Yandel, speak! The Mage Tower must stop using our hearts as magical ingredients!”
“Really… was that because of that…”
The old man muttered softly, rubbing his forehead, then let out a sigh openly.
Then, in a calm tone , tried to convince me,
“This is a legitimate study. No matter how much you are the baron of the kingdom and
the tribal chief of the barbarians, you can’t arbitrarily stop intellectual research for humanity
. ……… Huh?”
“Speak briefly, old man.
” But did the word old bother you
?
He glared at me, making the wrinkles on his already wrinkled face even bigger , and said
in a firm voice far from benevolence,
“If you can’t do
that
.”
The
old
wizard asked
.
” …
!
”
…that war!” “It
‘s
a war!!”
”
Everyone take up arms
!!”
「The character’s support
has increased by +10. 」 「
The character’s support has increased by +10.」 「The character’s support has increased by +10
.」
「The character’s support has increased by +10… …”
“…….”
“…….”
