119 – Product 1 that Chung-geum wants

Last day in Benessa.

It was the day that Yuria and Robert, who had been close together for a little over a month, broke up.

“Thank you, it was a lot of fun.”

“… Hey… YuRia. Are you really going to say no? Thinking about it again…”

Robert asked in an anxious voice.

However, YuRia shook her head and smiled at this.

“Did you tell me? The place I should be right now is called the top of Beden in Schwyz. After learning a little more from Mr. Lee Solda and Bahamut, I will have to stay here until I can decide my path perfectly.”

“Sigh..”

Robert let out a deep sigh while reaffirming that he couldn’t break YuRia’s will.

“Don’t be so depressed. After all, there will be many opportunities to see you in the future. And… ”

Then, looking at Robert with a disappointed expression, Yuria smiled brightly and said,

“I don’t know, maybe going to Hungary later, as you recommended, will be the path I will choose.”

“ah… ”

At YuRia’s words, Robert begins to show feelings of joy, albeit in a small way.

Seeing this, Yuria held his hand tightly and said.

“Then see you again. You should be healthy until then.”

“Yes! YuRia is healthy too. It must.. it has to be.”

A boy and a girl who broke up with such regret and a little expectation for the future.

Watching this from afar, a light smile began to form on Lee Solda’s lips.

‘It’s my first love in childhood.. It’s a bit regretful that I didn’t have those sweet memories? I have my first love when I was older, but…”

In that way, seeing her alter ego, which is similar to her but different… living a more positive and brighter life, Lee Solda’s heart began to feel proud as if she would become a mother.

“Big… Ugh… ”

“damn… ”

Countless people lying on the floor.

Looking at them, the five women lightly brushed the hem of their clothes and showed a triumphant look on their faces.

“hahahaha! Is it only this much? As expected, even if I did this and that, it was just a level of arrogance.”

“But, let alone Ophelia unnie, I haven’t come up with any powers that are classified as upper ranks within the guild. That’s about as good as it gets.”

“Because our skills were Sakiel’s number one! It’s just that it’s been underestimated so far.”

“This… can I get a raise with this? From 1 talent per month to 2 talents..”

The members of Predator talk with anticipation.

Regarding this, Echid slowly nodded and said.

“It was promised, so it must be so. I have never heard of a breach of contract at the Beden Merchants.”

With those words, Echid glanced at Ophelia, who was standing behind her.

Ophelia quietly smiled and nodded, and Echid, who saw that, slightly averted her gaze and blushed lightly.

Meanwhile… watching this scene from the window

that person.

Bahamut was experiencing a slightly complicated feeling.

‘No matter how middle or low level it may be, I would never have thought that our adventurers belonging to the upper ranks would be completely tteok.. Predator… did you say I didn’t know that the things that were only mentioned in passing in the original work could be so great.’

Those who were only mentioned as a roughly small Sakiel organization.

Considering that their names wouldn’t come out after that, it was highly likely that the writer simply didn’t care in the first place.

‘In addition, that woman called Leader fought almost equally with Ophelia, right? Although Ophelia’s growth is not over yet. Even taking that into account, it is by no means weak. It means that even if I can’t do it, I’ll be on par with Gerard, the strongest swordsman in Hungary.’

For Bahamut, a really unexpected lump of gold rolled in.

It felt a bit strange from the first time YuRia came under Isolda. I never really thought that she would bring such a jackpot.

‘Looking at it from this point of view… I guess it means that in this world, only the contents of the novel are not everything. A myriad of unknown variables are already occurring everywhere, including myself. Right now, the Emperor of the Holy Empire, too…’

An invitation from an emperor from the Holy Empire.

Emperor Charles’ request to commend Bahamut for his contribution to helping Hungary in crushing the conspiracy of the Dragona Empire, one of the main enemies of the Holy Empire, and to have a closer relationship.

On the surface, it seemed to be the case, but Bahamut had already heard and knew the details beyond that.

‘Except for this or that phrasing, it’s actually the result of Bertina’s efforts. Anyway… she’s a great lady in many ways.’

Bertina Minerva, a blue-gold woman who almost completely controls the commercial power of the Holy Empire.

In the original work, she should have already awakened as a villain at this point and become a public enemy destroying the economy of the empire.

However.. the opportunity for her to awaken as a wicked woman in the original work by Bahamut, and the Eastern Trade, which was the beginning of ruin, rather honestly hit the jackpot.

As a result, Bertina’s Uranus Merchants solidified their position within the empire, and at the same time, they were able to attract rather strong support from small and medium-sized merchants who had become enemies in the original work.

From their point of view, it is natural for them to respond to the actions of the Uranus Merchant Corps, which made them earn more money rather than being deprived of their possessions, even though they are actually sitting on the throne.

Moreover, as the Merchant Alliance, which was the only counterhorse of the Uranus Merchant Merchants, had disappeared without leaving a trace, they did not even dare to show their intention to oppose the Uranus Merchant Merchants, even if they were dissatisfied.

Based on such a solid foundation and enormous financial power, the Uranus Merchant Corps was exerting a tremendous influence on the political world of the empire, and in particular, recently, by providing Emperor Charles with a huge amount of funds again, their breath was on the throne of the Holy Empire. It was about to go crazy.

In other words, the incident related to Hungary was actually just an opportunity, and Emperor Charles, who had been disapproving of the merchants all along, decided to meet Bahamut, a merchant of Schwyz, a small border country, rather than a merchant of his own country, as a result of such pressure from Bertina. will be.

‘It’s definitely something I’m grateful to have arranged a place with such a high-ranking person while I’m working hard on networking… That lady. No matter how much I think about it, it seems like there’s an ulterior motive.’

It wouldn’t be a bad story at all, considering the tight yet dense relationship with her. At the very least, there was no way that Bertina, who thoroughly weighed profit and loss, would have proceeded with this work without any reason.

Accordingly, Bahamut accepted the stage prepared by Bertina for the time being, and at the same time thought that it was necessary to look at the situation and find out her true intentions.

‘Then… first, we have to choose the main members to accompany us on this journey. Ophelia and Ashbel… and this time, should I use that new woman?’

As much as I wanted to check the power of the newly introduced sword. Starting with the main people, Bahamut started thinking about the selection of personnel.

*

“what? Did you go to Vienna? Except for us, only the leader?”

“Yes, Bahamut-sama made that decision.”

“No.. if we’re going, we’ll all go together. Why is there only one leader…”

Ken expresses dissatisfaction with Yuria’s words as he conveys the situation.

Regarding this, Mergon calmed her down and spoke.

“It’s a pity, but it’s natural depending on what you think, no matter what, we are the bodies that once pointed a sword at the top of Beden. It’s probably not yet completely reliable.”

“I agree. Rather, if you show full faith in this situation, that is a problem. It’s regrettable, but let’s start by adapting to life here.”

“Okay… ”

At Nemea’s words, Ken is convinced, but shows a regretful expression.

Then, Mino made a very envious expression and said to Echid next to him.

“Ah.. Anyway, I envy the leader.. I went to Vienna, the capital of the Holy Empire. And to go as an escort confidently without having to hide like an assassin…”

For them, whose main occupation was secret work, the fact that they were visiting a big city as guests was of great significance.

To this, other people began to show similar reactions, and in response to this, Echid let out a small sigh and opened his mouth.

“sorry. At least I will buy you a present, so please wait patiently.”

Echid speaks in a calm voice as usual.

As a result, the expressions of the other members began to brighten a little, and Yuria, seeing this, began to smile slightly without realizing it.

‘Even if you do this or that… I think it’s a pretty good family to see. A bit envious.’

*

Vienna, the capital of the Holy Empire.

There, Bertina was waiting for something with an uncharacteristically nervous expression on her face.

‘I have to get it well… but somehow I have to make good use of this chance…’

That which makes her so anxious that she can control the Holy Empire at will.

And after a while, the door opened and Tilda, her escort and attendant, cautiously entered.

“Uh… how did it go?”

“I brought it. here.”

With those words, Tilda carefully takes out something and hands it to Bertina.

“Thank you very much. Finally… this is in my hands.”

Bertina expresses her gratitude with such a little excitement.

Then she looked at it with expectant eyes, a deep smile on her lips.

‘It must succeed.. not only for me, but also for Uranus and the Holy Empire in the future.. this time must…’
