Episode 768 The True Evil Group (1)
Taking advantage of the bandits’ absence, the Dark Spirit quickly headed inside.
There, as usual, an old man was messing around and making something.
The only difference from the previous one is that there are piles of inside layers that condensed terrifying poison energy.
‘I’m guessing twenty of them.’
If you think that 20 horses are fed to the king of each kingdom one by one, the East Continent will fall into great chaos.
Chaos invites war.
For Heukbang, self-destruction on their own would be the easiest way to win the war.
The black spirit approached in an instant with quick footwork like a snake passing by.
While the old man was distracted by the manufacturing process and lost his eyes for a moment, he rushed in and collected the dogmas in his pocket.
Is it because of its small size?
The Dark Spirit, who had put all of his arrogance into a leather pouch the size of his palm, took out his sword this time.
Dogdan is dogdan, but you can’t let someone who knows how to make it live.
When the hidden signs are revealed, the old man’s body stiffens as he whistles while working.
“Who are you?”
Heukyoung said, holding the sword behind the back of the old man who did not dare to move and became hardened like a stone.
“I don’t know. If I look back, I will kill you, so just answer the questions quietly.”
nodding-!
I thought I would do a mediocre resistance once or twice.
Looking at his trembling hands in fear, he doesn’t seem to be worried about that.
“What are you planning to do with this poison?”
“I just do what I am told to do. I don’t know what to use it for...”
After hearing the answer, Heukyoung waved his hand without hesitation.
The old man grabbed his fingers and collapsed with a cool ‘squeak’ sound from where the sword extended.
“Quaaaaagh!”
The old man’s blood splattered all over the joint.
Dark Young said in a nonchalant tone.
“If you lie again, I will cut off your wrists. What are you planning to do with the poison?”
There is no sense of mercy from Ilgo in his voice.
Lee Ja was a man who committed murder as if he were eating rice.
Otherwise, there’s no way I could move like I’m used to it.
The old man endured the pain and straight up.
“Kkeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...”
Well, this is assuming as much as possible.
The purpose of the poison was pre-determined anyway, so there was nothing new about it.
It was just a kind of performance to discourage the old man from the beginning.
“Are there any places other than here that make poison?”
“Ugh... I don’t think....”
“Are you sure?”
As soon as he raised his life as if he was going to die at any moment, the contemplative old man slapped him.
“I really am! I heard that they are made around Celia, an intermediary trading country, so that it can be easily sent to each country!”
Heukyoung also agreed to the old man’s words.
If you really want to send it to another country, the best way is to distribute it in Celia.
As a trading country, it had opened trade routes in all directions for a long time.
“I get it. Then I will ask you one last time.”
“Yes yes! Ask me anything!”
“Since when did your boss go out? And where did you go?”
“Oh, I’ve been away since yesterday. It’s my opinion, but I think he went to visit the elf girl.”
“Elf bitch?”
Dark Spirit demanded an explanation.
“okay. Oh. The movements of the Small Kingdom Alliance have been unusual lately. They may be ready for war.”
“The principality is slowly completing its preparations. How about the kingdoms of Baybon and Gleiman Devon?”
“well. I don’t know if it’s Baybon, but I don’t think Gleyman or Devon can afford to go to war? He must be frantic about catching the remnants of the civil war. I think it will take at least three more months.”
Three months is enough time for a coalition of small kingdoms to prey on neighboring kingdoms.
It was quite far from the principality, so it would not be easy to stop it.
Soyoung thought deeply and then said.
“Completely destroy the black spirit bandits and come.”
“I already killed the guy who makes the poison.”
“That’s not the problem. Since you’ve touched it once, you’ve already noticed that you’re getting in the way. Since they are moving in collusion with the nearby upper ranks, there could be pressure on Count Cerian.”
In other words, it means to get rid of the aftereffects in advance.
“If the bandits disappear, more merchants will come and go to the count’s house than before. No, let’s rather collect the toll on our side.”
Soyoung smiled.
That smile was as sinister as a bandit’s head.
“Are you sure you want to send soldiers?”
“okay. They set up a barracks and collect tolls instead of bandits. Since monsters appear around the mountain range, can you afford to pay rent in the name of protection?”
Anyway, with me, it’s only goblins and kobolds.
There wouldn’t be any burden on the soldiers, and since they could legitimately ask for a toll from the upper ranks, they would be able to earn a little bit of money.
‘If it takes money, they can’t use it.’
All they have to do is not get caught that it was they who destroyed the bandit’s den.
Isn’t that why he couldn’t borrow the financial power of the top half of the halfman until now?
If, as she said, the soldiers of Count Cerian’s family made socho, the black room would surely be regarded as the work of the count’s family.
Since the boss was away, they would think the timing wasn’t good.
Soyoung must have factored in this point into her calculations.
Heukyoung also agreed, probably thinking it was not a bad idea.
“Good. But you won’t be able to recruit that many troops.”
“Whoop whoop. The rest is going to use the adventurer’s guild. If you work for the Count, you are honored as an adventurer.”
For adventurers, career is their competitive edge.
Needless to say, his career was recognized by the count family.
Heukyoung marveled at the thought of the bandits that would soon form a sea of phosphorus.
“There will be no money going out, only money earned.”
“That’s not all. When adventurers flock, merchants also gather. The monsters that come down infrequently will also be subdued. If you’re lucky, the town might grow.”
the village grows
That word was also in line with the meaning of solving the financial crisis.
Once the framework was set, So-young became excited and began to plan.
How to use the surrounding manor.
Even catching monsters coming down from above and selling their accessories to the top.
When hope shined in the situation of Yeongji, where there was no answer, good ideas poured out of her mouth one after another.
However, even so, it was not enough to overturn the shabby financial situation of the Serian Territory.
“I’ll need a bigger one.”
“If it’s a big one...”
“I hope we can unite the nearby merchants.”
integration of superiors.
Soyoung started to come up with an outrageous idea.
At this point, I wonder if my head hurts from working too much.
“Don’t overdo it and take a rest today.”
“what? treat people as sick. I mean, this So-young has a way.”
The amount of self-confident talk is quite believable.
Usually, when So-young came out so proudly, incidents broke out one by one, so Heuk-young also began to listen.
“Talk about it.”
In Yeongju’s office, the two started conspiring.
