106 – That girl’s sweet trading method 5

After paying the price in Lugano, head south to the Beden Merchant.

The carriage full of iron ore headed for the city-state that completely escaped the territory of Schwyz and dominated the southern region.

milan

It is an alliance with the neighboring port city of Bennessa, but at the same time a subtle rivalry, it is a large city that has been established as a commercial and military hub for generations. It was the same place as the gateway to Rome, Daeseongdo, the symbol of the continent.

Due to its regional characteristics, Milan, which had been frequently invaded by foreign powers, greatly encouraged the industry of making arms and armaments as a measure to protect itself, and as a result, it has gained a reputation as a base city for numerous blacksmiths.

In such Milan, iron ore was classified as the most important resource like flour, and in particular, iron ore mined in the great mountain range of Schwyz located nearby was always a welcome trade product.

And, to such a city of blacksmiths, the Beden Merchant Carried loads of the finest iron ores produced in Lugano, which were being immediately transported to blacksmiths with contracts.

“Don’t rush. There is still time to spare, so proceed slowly and thoroughly, thoroughly checking the billing record. Care must be taken so that there is no shortage or more transported.”

“Yes, Mr. Isolda.”

It is Lee Sol who delivers materials step by step while directing the workers.

A whopping 500 talents of iron ore like a mountain were being transported by workers and blacksmiths who came directly to the site.

However, supplying iron ore here did not end the work.

Immediately after delivering all the iron ores ordered in advance, they had to load the weapons that had been ordered from the Beden Merchant several months ago.

Top-quality weaponry made with Milanese technology using Lugano’s iron ore.

Their job is to transport them to Rome, located south of Milan, deliver them to the Holy Knights under the Holy See, who commissioned them to be produced, and buy food and other items from Benetsa with the money they received to return home.

With so many things still to take care of, Isolda didn’t have to act too hastily, but she didn’t have the energy to relax too much.

‘In that respect, you can say that I’m watching Yuria and Ophelia Duck a little bit… If I had to pay attention to the little prince on top of this, it would have been quite a headache.’

It wasn’t that I hated children, but having a high-ranking person next to me at work was something I couldn’t help but be quite concerned about.

Thankful for not taking on the task of supporting others, Isolda continued to focus on her work.

On the other hand, in order not to disturb Isolda, and furthermore, to help with the ‘tour’, another purpose of this trip, Yuria and Prince Robert escaped from the hectic blacksmith’s trading scene and are now looking around downtown Milan. was in the middle

Of course, Ophelia and other escorts were watching them while keeping some distance from them. The two of them are barely aware of the fact.

Under the protection of those who don’t look like that, the two of them went from place to place following Isolda’s words to play well, and finally arrived at the cathedral in the central square of Milan.

The size of the cathedral that overwhelms those who see it and the appearance of a huge cathedral that boasts the same appearance as a work of art in itself.

Watching this, Yuria spoke with emotions that are now quite familiar.

“This is Milan Cathedral. As you can see, we are still building.”

“Still, it’s pretty cool. At first glance, it doesn’t look like an ordinary cathedral… How long will it take to complete?”

“About 500 years?”

“..Yes?”

“I guess so, as you can see, the situation is almost complete, but for some reason, the bishops who are in charge of the construction keep asking for this or that to be added. As a result, the cathedral, which should have been completed 100 years ago, is still under construction.

“Um… ”

The architectural situation of the cathedral makes me feel dizzy just by listening to it.

In addition to the thought that Robert was surprised, he began to feel a little regretful.

Even now, countless workers are visible in front of his eyes.

The idea that this scene of carrying and refining building materials while sweating under the blazing sun could continue for hundreds of years made me feel a natural sense of compassion as a leader who would lead a country in the future.

‘500 years.. Of course, it’s important in terms of art or religion.. but how many people’s blood must be squeezed out in the process? Does this building, which was built with such a sacrifice, have that much value?’

Robert had learned that religion, art, and all of them exist for the happiness of the people.

For him, the appearance of the cathedral in front of his eyes was obviously great, but at the same time it also made him feel a bit bitter.

Looking at Robert like that then,

Yuria, who had no way of knowing what was in his heart, spoke in a lively voice as usual.

“Then, since you seem to have looked around the area, shall we take a break? They sell little things to eat over there.”

“Ah, yes, I will.”

Listening to Yuria’s words like that, Prince Robert, who had sorted out his thoughts about the cathedral at that point, approached a restaurant selling simple snacks with her.

at that time. A slightly strange scene began to come into their eyes.

“So look for it! You said you brought silver coins in your pocket!”

“That.. that.. no matter how much I searched for it… I couldn’t find it… I definitely brought it…”

Two people talking with urgency and frustration on their faces.

The two girls, who appeared to be twins, seemed to be around the same age as Yuria and Robert, and at first glance seemed to be in quite a predicament.

“You dare to go out on the radio in front of me? Little ones are already trying to steal. I have to show you the tingling taste.”

“So you said you lost money! Do you know who is doing this because they like it?”

“You believe that? Do you know that there are only one or two scammers talking like you these days? Be prepared, I’ll beat you up and put you in jail!”

“…Where would you like to try it?”

At the words of an angry man who appears to be a cook, a girl glares at him with a cold expression.

At this, the other girl’s face began to fill with embarrassment and began to panic.

at that time..

“Wait a minute, what’s going on?”

Yuria suddenly interrupted the conversation.

In response, the chef lowered his voice a little while looking at the two people dressed in clothes that looked like they had quite a bit of money.

“No, these little kids are running out of money after eating! I really… have to believe what I believe. How dare you tell a lie about the same situation these days..”

“If you don’t believe me even if I tell you the truth, I can’t do it. Go back later… don’t blame me.”

A girl who speaks in a meaningful voice while looking at a male chef who is well over twice her size.

Seeing this, Yuria suddenly recognized something and spoke a little urgently.

“Uh… Hey, then can I pay for the food?”

“..what?”

“..Yes?”

The hand of salvation that suddenly stretched out towards them.

At this, the two twin sisters showed a surprised expression, while the chef’s face began to turn red.

“Ummm.. if you give it to me, it’s probably fine, but.. the price is roughly 50 silver coins..”

“Here you go.”

Before the chef finished speaking, Yuria held out a small pouch containing silver coins.

In response, the cook accepted it and nodded.

“That’s correct, then will the young lady and the young boy have a meal too? What is the order…”

“Oh, no… it’s okay. We’re just…”

With those words, Yuria hurriedly turned away.

At the same time, she glanced at the twins, and as they watched, they both felt similarly perplexed and began to think a little differently.

‘What is this woman… suddenly popping out of nowhere and clearing up the situation in an instant…’

‘Uh… what should I do? This.. first of all.. I have to say thank you..’

Looking at YuRia, who did an inexplicable favor to herself like that, they…

Members of the Predator, Ken Ross and Mino Ross, began to follow Yuria, who had saved them, while feeling doubts.
