161 – Big Deal 3

Sofia, capital of the Dragona Empire

A large city with a population of 1 million along a river, where various races, including humans and demons, live in harmony.

As they rode across the place in a wagon, Bahamut was experiencing a rather strange feeling.

‘Certainly… a city with a population of 400,000 demons is different.

Scenes with hundreds and thousands of buildings that look different from the basic structure at a glance.

Winged sirens were flying freely around the towering buildings reminiscent of giant mushrooms, and lizard forks and mermaids roamed leisurely while swimming in houses made of straw and rocks built on the side of a huge river. was going

Werewolves could easily be seen in the earthen house, which had a slightly primitive cave feel, and demons resembling giant earthworms were coiled in places like mud puddles everywhere.

It is more exotic than any other place on the continent I have been to so far.

As he gazed at it, Bahamut could clearly feel once again that he had entered a fantasy world.

‘It would have never been easy to lead such a diverse race. Indeed, Emperor Rose’s capabilities are amazing.’

According to the original work, it is generally said that demons are completely different from humans in their basic communication system, so it is absolutely impossible to communicate with them in a normal way.

However, the special magic potion developed by the Rose Emperor and witches broke down the language barrier and made communication between humans and demons possible. could be accomplished

Of course, the differences that exist between these races, demons and humans, have caused many problems. Due to the disposition of Emperor Roseveta, the monarch of the empire, there has been no major problem so far, thanks to the fact that he has led the country reasonably well without bias in general.

In addition, in the process of experiencing this and that for more than 60 years, centered on the solid center of Emperor Roseveta, the demons and humans have naturally been able to solidify their sense of belonging as citizens of the same country.

As a result, as a result of living understanding each other while enduring discomfort under a strong deterrence, it was possible for demons and humans to live in harmony without any major problems, beyond the racial differences.

‘National flexibility to embrace and assimilate different races. Moreover, decisively, if the original setting continues as it is, the reign of Emperor Roseveta will continue in the future. A scenario like this where a leader suddenly dies and splits like nowhere doesn’t happen.’

There was a reason why Bahamut chose this place while taking a certain risk.

Since it was something he had been looking for an opportunity for ever since he transferred to this world in the first place, he was feeling anxious and excited at the same time about his forthcoming meeting with the emperor.

The carriage, which had been thinking about when it would arrive, finally stopped.

In response, Bahamut saw his wife sitting in front of his eyes.

Bertina looked at it and said with a light smile.

“Then, shall we go, ma’am?”

“Yes, that’s good, honey.”

Feeling a little fluttered at the word “wife” that she is not yet familiar with, Bertina carefully took Bahamut’s outstretched hand and slowly got off the carriage.

Right after that, Hwangseong gives off a neat and tidy feeling to their eyes.

No matter how you look at it, Bahamut began to feel a little disappointed inside, looking at the place that seemed too boring compared to the imperial castle of the Holy Empire in Vienna.

‘Still, I thought there would be quite a few things to see as it’s the Imperial Castle of the Empire.

Of course, even Bahamut didn’t like too much extravagance, but he had the idea that, no matter how much money he earned, he should have the taste of spending money.

A good example is making a lot of money in Eastern trade while buying various items or decorating a mansion.

However, the imperial castle in front of my eyes… To be honest, I had a strong feeling that it was empty compared to the mansion of Bahamut, a mere merchant.

‘The person who poured money so unrestrainedly at Benessa’s auction is really salty on this side. It’s a part that was described in the original work, but…’

Thinking that he was good at not bringing extravagant gifts, Bahamut slowly began to move into the imperial castle, thinking of extremely practical items such as reagents and medicinal materials from the East that he had brought as gifts.

Bahamut, who was leading, and Bertina, who was standing right next to him and walking side by side.

Seeing that, Ophelia felt that it couldn’t be said to be very good, and began to turn her gaze and senses toward the surroundings.

‘This is… where the woman lives, right? White Dragon Princess Elios Noshelat Dragona lives there.’

Under the circumstances, there is a high possibility that she is sharpening multiple swords against herself.

Although the overall situation itself was unfavorable to Princess Elios even before the battle began, defeat was defeat.

It was definitely her idea that if she ran into this opportunity, she would come back somehow, and unfortunately, that was the correct answer.

‘You’re here at last. that woman A human woman named Ophelia Crimson is here…’

From inside the window, the White Dragon Princess silently watches the party entering the castle.

Although Ophelia’s keen senses were still looking for her at this moment. In the first place, it was not that difficult for the White Dragon Princess to erase her presence in this situation.

Ophelia moves forward cautiously with only a simple prediction, not clearly recognizing that she is watching.

She was escorting Bahamut, burning her will to defend any attack from any place.

However, at this moment, Bahamut no longer paid attention to the gaze of the white dragon princess in question.

Having failed in the previous ‘competition’, she was in a position where she could no longer covet Bahamut, and above all, her interests were now directed at Ophelia, who had defeated Bahamut.

‘The human woman who defeated me… It wasn’t a clumsy step back, but a woman who let me taste complete defeat for the first time. It’s really fun… to the point that I really want to play it again on this occasion.’

As he checked the blade, which had already been coldly sharpened, a smile filled with anticipation began to form on Elios’ lips.

Daejeon is located in the depths of Hwangseong.

Like any other place, it is also a place that feels neat and a little understated.

There, Bahamut and Bertina cautiously began to bow to the emperor sitting on the throne in front of them.

“The little boy, Bahamut Fernandez, meets His Majesty, the Emperor of the Dragona Empire.”

“His wife, Bertina Fernandez, also pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor.”

The merchant couple kneeling respectfully in front of the throne.

Looking at them, Emperor Roseveta smiled quietly and nodded.

“Welcome to. You have worked hard to come a long way.”

The emperor expresses his joy with sincerity rather than the expression of coldness he felt before.

Looking up at the emperor, Bahamut spoke in a calm voice.

“We express our sincere gratitude for asking us, who are mere merchants, to do business with us.”

“Don’t talk like that. Although complex conditions have been met, you have already practically defeated the Dragona Empire and the Turk Empire once. Jim is very happy to be doing business with someone of his ability.”

The emperor who gives bodily compliments.

In response, Bahamut felt as if he had been stabbed for no reason and continued his words cautiously.

“For that matter, I hope I can make amends through this work. Your Majesty. Specifically, I would like to discuss what we should do, but…”

“Whoops… that’s good. Then let’s do that. First, we have to change places.”

At Bahamut’s words, the emperor smiled lightly. Seeing this, Bahamut cautiously followed the emperor, who had risen from the throne with Bertina, with a feeling of uneasiness still lingering.
