45 – Arbiter of Queen Adria 1

“Kang! kang! KANG!”

A hard-sounding, nail-biting sound.

It was only a very small sound in this noisy place.

From the point of view of the people working, it was accepted as a sound that gave them safety and hope different from the past.

“With this, accidents in iron mines will be rare for a while.”

“Thank you very much. What have you been doing all this while not caring about good things like this..”

“Isn’t this all thanks to Bahamut from the Merchant Veden? Things have completely changed since he bought the iron mine.”

“There is more to eat than before, and the safety inside the mine is also taken care of, and people who want it can also lend land for farming again, don’t they? And that too with very little tax.”

After the Lugano area was taken over by the Beden Merchant, the situation in this area was completely changed.

The murderous taxes were reduced to a minimum cost for maintaining the region, and the treatment of people working in the mines was completely different from before.

Unlike the time when it was barely possible to glue, it was possible to earn more money than when farming, and the safety problem was greatly improved by installing steel supports instead of weak rotten trees.

In a situation that has changed so dramatically, workers naturally compare their lives in the past and now.

“To be honest, I’ve been a little worried since Sister Linda left.”

“Who knew it would turn out this good? It was all because she cheated us and siphoned off the funds.”

“I didn’t even know that, like a fool, and treated such a human being as a saint..”

“Now, what would you do if you regretted the past? Now that the good times have come, it will be enough to live well in the future.”

“Surely that is…”

“In that sense, let’s stop chatting and get down to business. A new vein has burst again this time! I have to go and get lots of good quality iron ore!”

“That’s right! Let’s live well together!”

Unlike when they were once filled with grief and sorrow, now with hope and joy, the workers once again took up their picks and headed for the mines.

“The work in the Lugano region was finished like that.”

“Good job Ashbel. Although public sentiment has calmed down right away, please pay a little more attention for a while.”

“Okay, Master.”

Looking at Bahamut, Ashbel bowed her head with loyalty.

No, the feelings he felt towards his master at this moment were not just simple loyalty. It was admiration, respect, and awe.

‘They say that late-blooming flowers are the most splendid… I guess that’s true. I can’t imagine that he would accomplish such amazing things in a little over a year..’

He completely subdued Isolda and put the Uranus Merchant under his feet in the name of an alliance, and this time he also obtained the Lugano region, a treasure trove of resources located in the south.

Literally, the Beden Merchant Corps is expanding its power to a frightening extent.

Although the owner did not reveal it as much as possible for fear of checks from the surroundings. Even in the eyes of Ashbel, when talking about one of the most powerful guilds on the current continent, he could proudly mention the guild guild of Beden.

‘The previous master laid a solid foundation… Now Bahamut is building a huge castle on top of it. How far can we go in the future?’

Of course, the continent is vast, and there are still many competitors, but Ashubel was able to assert that there would only be glory in the future of Beden and Bahamut.

‘Even though he has accomplished this much, Master is still engrossed in gathering strength.

Until now, numerous guilds have risen and fallen in countless competitions, but no guild has yet completely conquered the commercial world of the continent.

Yashubel was thinking that maybe her master was the one who could ascend to a throne that no one had ever climbed before.

“Okay then. The next thing to look at is… hmm… this?”

Bahamut’s attitude suddenly changed.

As a result, Ashbel stopped thinking about the faraway place for a while and began to examine the contents of the document the owner was looking at.

“This… is sent from the Uranus Merchant Army.”

“Miss… no, Bertini… let’s see… oh oh… is this… finally back?”

“okay. Although it took a little longer than before. It seems to have arrived in a little while now. The trade corps sent to the east.”

“It went well, but I was worried, but I arrived safely.”

The Eastern Trader sent from Bertina Merchant earlier this year

Originally, Bertina used this to commit a huge investment fraud, wiping out all the small merchants of the Holy Empire and trying to completely obtain the empire’s commercial power, but due to Bahamut’s intervention, it was neatly destroyed.

In the end, the traders were sent for pure trade as standard, and finally, after a period of about a year, they were finally returning to the continent with a lot of trade items.

“According to the report, there were no major losses during the trade, and the reason for the delay was that a large merchant group from the eastern empire ‘Jin’ visited the trading area, and it was said that it was because they were conducting additional trade with them.”

“Ohhh…then it went better. From what I hear, there really aren’t any products produced in Jin, so you can’t sell them? You can expect a bigger profit than you can imagine.”

“Surely it will. Congratulations, Master.”

As he talked with Ashbel, Bahamut began to be seized with considerable excitement and anticipation.

‘Whoa, whoa, this is really checking the price of the bitcoin that you’ve been burying for a year. At the point when I was extremely depressed, and at the point where I bought a lot of things, I was crazy about it..’

If there were no special accidents, and if trade with Jin was additionally carried out, on average, a situation where profits could be expected from 400 times to 1000 times.

It meant that the money that was barely enough to raise a charter in the metropolitan area had grown to the point of being able to buy several buildings in the middle of Gangnam in one year.

‘In addition, the stake is 37%. Now, with the money I’ve earned this way, I’m going to make connections with high-ranking people in this world one after another..’

That was the time when Bahamut was full of expectations.

“Tuk!”

“yes? This..”

In the next moment, an object that had been stuck between the documents submitted as a report fell to the floor, and Bahamut opened it with curiosity.

that is..

“… . Whoops..”

“?..why is that, master?”

“..no.. just a personal matter.. then, you did a good job today, so let’s leave.”

“Ah.. Yes, I understand, Master.”

Somehow, looking at Bahamut, who seemed happy in a different way than before, Ashbel left the room with a little doubt.

And Bahamut, who was left alone in the room, looked at the paper in his hand.

To be precise, Bertina began to take another look at the contents of the letter she had written to him.

“This lady… must have been very lonely? what good After all, as a major shareholder in a position like this, I can’t be left out.”

Bahamut, with a happy smile on his lips like that, carefully placed Bertina’s letter, whose voice of courtship had been felt throughout the reading, in his arms.

*

Bertina’s mansion in Vienna.

There, Bertina Minerva, the owner of the Uranus Merchant, finally received the news she had been waiting for.

“Is that true?”

“Yes, Miss Bertina. Here’s a reply like this.”

“Please give it to me.”

According to Bertina, a young warrior who is tasked with escorting her exclusively.

A woman with light green hair and black eyes, dark brown skin and a strong, muscular body.

Tilda Rusty took out from her bosom the letter the owner had been waiting for.

“Whoops… Ah.. I can finally see him again. finally..”

Upon receiving the letter, Bertina shows her joy and excitement without filtering her face full of blush.

Tilda asked her with a bit of caution, seeing such a rare appearance of the ruthless lapis lazuli woman.

“I… Miss Bertina. Is he that good? That… Bahamut is…”

“Whoops.. I like it. To tell you my honest feelings, it’s to the point where I feel like I want to stay by your side all the time, rather than being apart like this. Aah… I can only officially marry that man someday…”

“Um… ”

While saying that, Bertina read the short letter from Bahamut several times.

To be honest, Tilda didn’t quite understand her appearance.

She knew that Bahamut, the master of the Veden Merchant, had defeated Bertina once.

But… who was Bertina? Even if he suffered damage once, he did not forget the shame and repaid it twice and three times, and in the end, he was always the last winner.

However, when it comes to Bahamut, she became like a gentle puppy and was busy wagging her tail.

‘To be honest… It just happened like that. What on earth did he like so much about that man?..’

From what I’ve heard, it’s like being told that it’s not normal on the bed… Tilda knew very well that Bertina wasn’t someone who would simply be swayed by such things.

Right now, even now, she shows signs of being lonely from time to time, but you can tell by looking at her that she’s not particularly interested in bringing in other men.

‘I think you fell in love really innocently… but I’m not quite sure either. Maybe you can see the answer to that in this schedule..’

So, thinking that she wanted to know the true face of Bahamut, who might really be her other master, Tilda began to have some expectations about her upcoming schedule.

‘If you look at it simply, it’s just like a large-scale market. Indeed, there… in the city of the queen, what kind of image will this man named Bahamut show?’
