Chapter 63

Chapter 063

Originally, the great nobles of the empire did not borrow money.

To be precise, I didn’t borrow money ‘directly’.

It was something that did not suit the face of an honorable nobleman.

Of course, even the great nobility had times when they needed money.

At such times, merchants who are now acquainted with the great nobility or who want to catch the eye of the great nobility come on their own.

Say hello politely, talk a little about the world, praise the mansion, praise the family, and then say something like ‘I’m a lowly person, I’d like to give a little money to a nobleman,’ and the great nobleman reluctantly nods his head in approval. I nodded…

…After that, I just had to discuss the details with the butler, who works under a great nobleman.

As much as things went like this, most of the great nobles of the empire did not know how to directly borrow money.

What about the young boys and girls from that family who have just become adults?

You won’t even know how to get the words out.

That’s why Arion, the branch manager of Kaako’s Merchant Company, was surprised when a boy from a noble family came to ask for a loan.

‘Are you really from the Wardanaj family?’

* * *

The village of Philone was quite prosperous compared to its size.

The roadside was crowded with people, and there were various kinds of shops that cannot be seen in the countryside.

Besides, in such a village there were enough inns close to each other, and the taverns were full of people.

Not only the village of Philone, but also other nearby villages and cities were full of life.

The reason was simple.

It was because of the magic school.

As much as the area itself is where the magic school is located, it is overflowing with natural magic.

A place full of rare materials from various dungeon monsters!

In addition, wizards working within the magic school needed all kinds of materials and reagents for experiments.

Who will bring this to you?

Most wizards were weak and withered when they stood up in front of their desks.

Of course, they had no choice but to hire adventurers.

Adventurers flock excitedly as the reward was high, and the materials and reagents gathered quickly, so the excited wizards experimented and hired them again, and the imperial treasurer who saw the statement was angry, saying, ‘Bring Osu Gonadaltes!!’ Anyway,

except for a few people, a circle of happy circulation has been completed in this neighborhood.

Lee Han was also lucky.

Because with money, I could buy pretty much anything. Having money is better than not being able to live.

“Then lend me some money.”

“Oh no. The young master of the Wodanaz family. Wait a minute… please wait a minute.”

“Can’t you?”

“no! It’s not that it doesn’t work. Of course I will lend it to you.”

The goat-beast branch manager hurriedly shook both hands.

If the other party was the Wodanaj family (and it wasn’t a fake), it was unconditionally profitable to lend.

He had no intention of going to the Wardanaj family to ask for money back.

It was an advantage just to be able to form a relationship with the Wardanaj family.

Aryan made up his mind.

‘good night. Even with my own money…’

But as a merchant, I couldn’t help but tremble.

How much will the opponent ask for?

If it’s more than Ariane’s entire property, you’ll have to quickly contact the top and ask for permission…

“How much do you want?”

Lee Han hesitated.

Seeing that, Aryan became more and more frightened.

how much??

“…is it possible for twenty silver coins?”

“…yes?”

“If it doesn’t work, even about fifteen silver coins…”

“……”

Ariane was dumbfounded, but belatedly realized one fact.

The other person was wearing clothes that seemed to have been seen somewhere.

It was the magic school uniform.

‘Were you a student at a magic school?!?’

It was even first grade. As much as he knew the insanely strict rules of the magic school, Arion couldn’t help but be surprised.

How did you get out of first grade??

‘Ah… it was the Wardanaj family.’

Aryan understood without even realizing it.

The opponent in front of me was truly from the Wardanaz family.

Who could have gotten out of magic school in the first year if not from the Wardanaz family?

‘I never dreamed that a great noble would come and ask for money… but it’s the Wardanaz family!’

“Twelve silver coins?”

“Oh no. You can cut it down.”

* * *

Aryan, who grasped the situation, tried to make Lee Han comfortable.

When he said that he could serve refreshments with the tea and give away silver coins for nothing in return, Lee Han looked rather suspiciously at Arian.

“Oh no. It doesn’t mean anything suspicious.”

“I guess I’ll have to go somewhere else…”

“Really! It was a thoughtful remark because the young man of the Wodanaz family seemed to have no money right now!”

Aryan was unfair.

What kind of money would a first grader who barely got out of magic school have?

The situation right now is ‘money doesn’t matter. I believe in you.” “Mr. Arion! You have eyes to see I will not forget your faith even after I succeed in life!” It was a touching situation…

“Ah. If it’s like that… I don’t have money, but I have things that could be money.”

“?”

Aryan tilted his head.

It was hard to believe that a freshman freshman had anything worthwhile.

‘I can’t believe the wand…’

Aryan laughed bitterly inwardly.

It was a misunderstanding often made by magic school students.

Last year, I heard that a third-year student broke out and tried unsuccessfully to sell a cane.

The basic wand given by the magic school was less expensive than I thought.

“Here is the account book of debts owed to me by other Imperial families.”

“……”

Aryan’s chin was wide open enough to touch the table.

What crazy…!?!?!!!

“Originally, I was going to turn the mansion with this, but damn… No, the principal moved the mansion to another place.”

“That… it was. If it’s something like this… it’s really worth the money.”

It was just like cash.

Besides, it didn’t just end with cash.

If you go to that family with that, the family will give you another reward as much as you have shown kindness to the lineage from your family.

Because that’s the honor of an imperial nobility!

‘But…’

I was really coveted, but Ariane drew a line.

“If you have that, that’s enough. I will lend you money.”

“Then this ledger…”

“No. You must have it.”

“……”

At Ariane’s words, Lee Han looked at him with an expression of ‘Did this merchant start working today for the first time?’

Originally, when borrowing money, it was the law that the lender owned the goods, not the borrower.

Ariane was a bit stunned.

‘This is to show trust…!’

The reason Arion didn’t covet that ledger was simple.

That was the promise of the Wardanaj family and other noble families.

How much gratitude would the wordanaz family’s young master receive if he later went to another family’s mansion with that ledger?

Arion could benefit from going around other noble families with that ledger, but it could be viewed badly by the Wardanaj family.

-Didn’t that merchant trick Lee Han into stealing the ledger?

Even if Arien suffered a little loss, she tried not to be misunderstood as having deceived the young master in front of her.

Instead, I was misunderstood like ‘Did this merchant start working for the first time today?’

“young master. Think about it. You are from the Wodanaz family, so what does it matter if I have the ledger or not?”

“Is that so. Still, it would be better to have one…”

“…Can I guide you around the village? You must need a lot of things.”

Ariane changed the topic.

The needs of the students who had just escaped were decided.

Lee Han nodded.

“I would appreciate it if you would. By the way, aren’t they directing you to the shop connected to the upper guild?”

“…no!”

Arion began to confuse whether the boy in front of him was from the Wardanaz family or the Wardanaz Merchant. Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

There was none of the innocence or innocence common to those from aristocratic families.

“?”

Ariane, who followed Lee Han as he left the room, realized that the refreshment he had brought earlier had disappeared.

‘Have you eaten? weird? Didn’t you eat anything?’

Ariane, who tilted her head, witnessed that the pocket of Lee Han’s cloak was bulging.

‘…no way… ah… no…’

* * *

“How about this cream puff? This dessert is made by one of the best artisans in town. This thin dough is filled with cream, so nobles will be satisfied…” “

No, please recommend something that is easy to store and small in volume.”

“……”

“……”

Lee Han acted thoroughly like an imperial supply officer who came out in preparation for a war.

Bulky, brittle, perishable foods, no matter how delicious they were, were ignored.

Only the maximum efficiency due to maximum compression was pursued.

“This canned food is…”

“Canned food that is popular in the Empire these days? Aren’t the designs pretty?”

“I can’t hold it tight like this!”

“……”

Seeing Lee Han clean up without worrying for even a second, Ariane was troubled.

…Should I recommend that you get a job at the guild after graduating from magic school?

No matter how you look at it, it’s the quality of an outstanding merchant…

Lee Han picked out various groceries, calculated the volume and weight, and even handpicked a box to put them in.

“Wait. young master. You cannot drive a carriage to school. The principal will punish us.”

“I know. I will bring it myself.”

“…???!?!”

Aryan wasn’t the only one surprised.

The other employees were also staring at me with an expression of ‘Shouldn’t I stop the branch manager?’

“no. What are you thinking?”

But Arian was not shaken.

I had to admit it now.

That the young master of the Wardanaz family is blessed with the blessings of a seasoned merchant.

You must have an idea!

“Let’s go to the tailor soon. I will match you with a suit.”

“?”

Lee Han looked at him as if he was saying something.

“Uh… those nudes… aren’t those clothes a bit uncomfortable?”

The clothes of the magic school students looked quite uncomfortable and rough. Even the staff could see it.

But Lee Han didn’t care much.

“Not very uncomfortable.”

“!?”

“Of course, it’s true that you need clothes…”

Arion was relieved by Lee Han’s continued words.

You did have an idea for clothes though!

“Let’s go to the clothes shop, not the tailor.”

“…You’re thinking of making it yourself…?”

“Right?”

“……”

Ariane felt dizzy at the sight of Lee Han entering the dry goods store and choosing only thick and durable fabric.

It was clear that something was happening among the new students of the magic school this time.

“This is the same fabric, why is it cheaper?”

“The pattern is out of fashion…”

“Then, please give me a cloth that is out of fashion. Which is more water-resistant, this cloth or this cloth?”

Following the grocery store earlier, Lee Han showed off his dazzling skills at the linen store.

Even the seasoned linen shop owner and Ariane, who works as a branch manager at the top, couldn’t help but admit that he picked out only the best fabrics out of countless fabrics.

It was the young boy of the Wardanaj family who now rules this place!
