Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

Kay nodded at this.

Soon, the eyes of sticky trust passed between the two.

“Of course, if there are too many thieves, it really increases the risk of losing merchants, but if used well, it will be of great help to the development of the territory.”

"Yes. If you use it well... Ah! Come to think of it, it seems that there were not many entertainment facilities for mercenaries in the territory... Well done. In the meantime, we will increase the entertainment facilities for the mercenaries!”

Give or take, Kei and the general are having conversations proactively.

They got along just like those who had known each other for decades.

Is it because you have found a new way to make money?

The tired general's face turned blue.

he exclaimed loudly.

“Now, as the last agenda item, let’s discuss the expansion of entertainment facilities for mercenaries in the territory!”

“No, Commander-in-chief… that robbery was the last thing on the agenda…?”

Rannard, who had spoken in a hint of tiredness, lowered his head at the commander's bitter eyes.

Leonard looked at the Archduke to save his life, but the Archduke had already given up on his face.

Then Kay got up.

“Ah, I have some work to do, so first…”

"Gosh. Everyone knows that Kay is busy. Come on!”

The superintendent shows kindness, rushing to the back and removing Kei's chair by hand.

The people in the conference room looked at Kei's back with envy as he left.

The general came back after seeing Kei off to the front door.

He changed his face and spoke in a harsh tone.

“Come on, everyone, if you have a good opinion, let me know!”

"Sigh···."

Looking at the excited governor, low sighs erupted from all over the conference hall.

Meanwhile, at that time.

After struggling with boredom, Merlin went for a long walk...

“Heh heh heh! Guys, welcome guests!”

“Yep!”

Seeing the men who were in a hurry to surround him...

“Hey! Bandits!”

His eyes were shining brightly.

Creative Economy (2)

Creative Economy (2)

It was the freshest feeling I had felt in a long time.

‘Wow, how much is this?’

A very, very distant past.

A time when Merlin wandered around the world as a novice mercenary wizard.

Back then, she was able to face quite a few thieves here and there.

Bandits in the mountains.

Magic in the field.

Pirates in the sea.

At that time, there were so many thieves and robbers.

However, as the state gradually deepened, the number of encounters with such thieves decreased.

If you don't want to walk, you fly away, if you want to go a little further, you teleport or warp, so there's no chance of meeting thieves on the road.

'This is... just like this, it's a strange experience.'

In addition, meeting a band of thieves after taking a short walk in front of the house was an amazing experience that Merlin had for the first time.

Because of this, he looked at the 30 armed robbers who surrounded him with wonder.

And at that moment, a roaring voice erupted from the band of thieves.

“Heh heh! Customer, please come.”

"customer? me?”

“Then, who else is our customer here besides you?”

Merlin was greeted by the tallest and most upbeat among the 30-year-old men.

Merlin was fed up with the strange response of the bandits.

“Hey, be kind.”

“Shit. Because all of these occupations are customer-facing industries... Now, before the full-scale business starts, there will be a brief Q&A session.”

Merlin shook his head, looking to see all the unusual bandits.

"try."

“First, do any of your relatives or acquaintances work in the same industry as ours?”

“...why is that?”

“I am well aware that the industry is in recession, so why not touch their family?”

Merlin's lips parted softly.

‘Is this how bandits are doing business these days?’

Maybe it's because it's been a while since I've met the bandits... It seems like a lot has changed.

Or maybe these guys he's met right now are a bit unusual.

Merlin, who was quite intrigued, shook his head to see if we could wait a little longer.

“No?”

“I’m happy. Second, do you have any royal family among your relatives?”

He was not a relative, but he had one of his children.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

For once, Merlin shook his head again, as he had nothing to do with it.

"no."

"Ohh!"

At Merlin's answer, the bandit leader's face brightened.

He smiled kindly and asked the question again.

“Okay, good! Then last! How much money do you have on hand?”

“No?”

“Heh heh! Usually everyone responds that way.”

Saying that, the bandit boss glanced at Merlin.

‘It’s a mug that looks like he has quite a bit of money, starting with the fabric. If you shake it, it will definitely come out!’

His tip, who had robbed other people's pockets for the past ten years, was telling.

That the little boy in front of him has quite a bit of money.

Merlin was furious at the gaze of a greedy thief.

"End? Do you have any more questions?”

“Yes, I am done.”

“Awesome... they are very polite bandits. By the way, am I really a bum?”

"Fine. You just have to stand still. We'll find it on our own and take only half of it as we conscience. what are you doing these We are waiting for you! Shake it off and send it!”

"Yes!"

What should I say about this...?

Do I have to say that I am polite or do I have to have good morals?

Now even Merlin was confused.

He looked at the bandits with absurd eyes.

They were slowly approaching with a sinister laugh.

'Who is not a bandit...'

Crude clubs, chain scythes, and even axes.

A vicious force emanated from those who carried bandit-like weapons.

Then Siri poked his head out and asked.

- Dad, what are you doing?

"Well···."

Merlin was worried.

How are you going to deal with those guys in front of you?

At that moment, the bandits who were slowly approaching rushed in.

“Uh-huh! Bring guests!”

“Shake it off!”

Merlin smiled broadly.

"Good! Let's knock it down and think about it!"

Anyway, I was worried about it now, but I put it down and thought about it, but that was it.

***

5 minutes later.

“Hey, save me.”

“Hey, we didn’t recognize you and made a mistake.”

Thirty bandits were all kneeling on the floor with puffy faces.

She sat on a nearby rock and patted Merlin's chin as she looked at them.

In just five minutes, Merlin's manicured bandits rolled her eyes and looked at him.

Then Merlin asked, pointing to the bandit boss.

“You there.”

“Yep!”

The bandit boss who quickly raised his upper body upright.

Merlin's cold voice flew in.

“Who’s permission are you doing business here?”

"Yes···?"

It was a question with a very familiar tone.

At this, the bandit leader was tense and asked.

“Hey, were you in this industry by any chance?”

just-

“Uh-huh!”

intangible energy. In other words, the bandit boss who was hit in the forehead by Merlin's magic arrow and jumped back quickly stood up.

He fell flat on the floor and shouted.

“Sin, sorry! The question is yours! of course! I'm ready to answer anything! Ask me anything!”

A gleam flashed in Merlin's eyes as he watched the crouching bandit boss.

‘Look at this?’

He wasn't usually as quick as a troll.

He knew his intentions with only one slap on the forehead.

As soon as Merlin's gaze reached, the bandit boss's mouth moved quickly.

“Ah, who gave you permission to do business here? Of course, there is no need to take permission! Originally, this area was an area where there was nothing to confide in, even if I tried to confiscate it.”

“·················ogue.”

“The weather is shrivelingly cold, and there are no gold shavings from customers coming and going... So it was an empty area without an owner for a while. We were not originally from this district, but from other places.”

“A different area? where?"

“Before, I was active in the Kroger Kingdom.”

“Kroger? I came from far away What did you come to this town for something to eat?”

The Kroger Kingdom was one of the five central kingdoms.

In terms of distance, it was also farther away than the islands.

Meanwhile, the bandit boss who heard Merlin's murmur shook his head and said:

“Did you not know? Is Grand Duke Redford an emerging area in our industry?”

"Huh?"

As Merlin tilted his head, the bandit boss roared with excitement.

“It's not just the traders who have quick sources! We need to get quick access to customer information to confuse in order to survive on this floor.”

“·················ogue.”

“There have been rumors that have been circulating in our industry for a while now.”

“What rumors?”

“If you settle down here on Redford Road, you can crave for half a year what you’ll earn in another district for the rest of your life!”

“Huh?”

“Because … even now, people from all over the continent are flocking to our industry!”

In fact, it certainly did.

Wherever the items from the Redford estate are ordinary items.

Even if you take only one sword, you will have enough money to eat and play for the rest of your life.

Even when Merlin nodded like that, the bandit leader's mouth did not rest.

“Come on, we quickly heard the news and jumped out to grab a good spot, but those who came late will only be licking the merchants who have been sucked into us once! Originally, this floor was a battle for seats.”

Fire erupted from Merlin's eyes upon hearing the sound.

"awhile!"

"Yes?"

“Now the sound is… that the merchants who were once robbed by bandits can be robbed by others again? Twice?”

“Are you going to do it twice? Some stupid merchant who came without a mercenary was robbed up to six times. I brought all my fortune to try and make it big, but it was stolen.”

A shadow fell on Merlin's eyes.

‘Is this bad?’

Merchants from all over the continent had no transporters or transporters of gold to the Grand Duchy of Redford.

If such people did not take the goods properly, it should be regarded as bankruptcy.

If more merchants went bankrupt like that, the gold flow had to decrease.

There are so many merchants right now, so I can't see it, but if this piles up and builds up, or if the Redford estate is notorious for...

‘Small and medium-sized merchants are cut off!’

In that case, only the large, well-equipped upper ranks would head to the Redford estate, and if the large merchants unite, the price of goods had to come down naturally.

'That's never going to happen!'
