“who are you?”

Damon’s drinking was getting longer, so I was wondering whether I should force him or not.

It was planned, but someone who didn’t know he would come right away visited the general store.

“The princess sent it.”

“ah!”

“This is an order.”

“It was well received.”

“He wanted us to move as quickly as possible.”

“All right.”

When the person sent by Princess Mona returned and checked the order, the expected information was written down.

It said to come to the imperial palace to welcome the ethnic minority delegation.

‘I guess I’ll have to bring my own equipment as well.’

He had prepared unique equipment to give as a gift to Princess Haehwa.

The reason Princess Mona sent me this order was probably because of the unique equipment.

The order not only had an order to come to the imperial palace, but also had good news written at the top.

“This time, they requested double the existing transaction volume… .”

The fact that the minority group was satisfied with our products and doubled the amount of orders meant that it would leave a lasting impression.

After all, although there are people who have never used disposable scrolls, there is no one who has used them only once.

Minorities have already fallen into the trap of our superiors and it will not be easy for them to break away.

“Erintina said she left quite a few marks with the items she received during the transaction, but if that doubles… .”

Isn’t it amazing?

If the transaction volume increases, our side will inevitably benefit.

The goods brought by ethnic minorities in exchange for trade were difficult to obtain in the empire.

And because it was an object from an unknown culture, there were many things that could attract people’s attention.

‘Some things that are valuable to the empire are easily available there, and because they are materials that can only be found there, when they are sold here, the price is increased several times.’

There are many areas where you can benefit in many ways.

The amount that had been previously taken must have been quite a bit, but seeing that they were requesting to double it within a few months, it seemed like the transaction volume would continue to be significant in the future.

“It was said that it was difficult because the nobles started to stick together and the amount of money going out increased, but you don’t have to worry about that from now on.”

What is important is that this transaction is not just a one-time transaction, but is an ongoing transaction.

Business always requires efforts to find new avenues for growth, and dealing with ethnic minorities was something that gave wings to a growing business.

There is a reason why Erintina called me crazy when she once tried to reject me.

I couldn’t keep this good news to myself, so I decided to call Erintina.

I had a lot to say to her.

※ ※ ※

“How did you get to the top?”

“Damon ran away and won’t come home. There has to be a way to call it. Since you are busy, it might be better for me to move.”

“Damon ran away from home?! “Are you okay?”

“You’re running away from home, but I know where you went, so it doesn’t matter.”

“You were surprised.”

“I have more to tell you than that.”

“What?”

First, I showed the princess’s order to Erintina.

“Ah, I got this too. Double the deal. Actually, because of this, I was planning to go see you soon. “It is good that transaction volume has increased, but what is important is whether or not the product can be secured.”

“The goods will be delivered without problem. “I’m working hard on it.”

What you do while sitting at the general store is pick out items.

What would have happened if the 100-lot lottery had not occurred?

It was something that I might have had to stay up all night to draw.

“How much did it come out?”

“I already filled half of it, and now I have half left.”

“and! really? Be amazing! good job. “I usually had some stocked up in advance, but I was worried because the transaction volume increased so much.”

Erintina was relieved to hear that I could safely fill up the trading items.

Came to make a deal but there is no product?

It was a breach of trust with the transaction partner, and the loss was great as the transaction fell through.

Erintina was also worried because securing items was more important than ever.

“You don’t have to worry about securing the items, there are more important things than that.”

“What?”

“Like I said, Damon ran away from home. But maybe the reason for running away from home is to cause an incident? That’s why I wanted to ask you to look into the situation.”

“Damon caused an incident? no way… .”

“Oh, I’m not going around harming people’s lives. If that’s the case, there’s no way I can stay still. “It must have been prevented somehow.”

Erintina sighed in relief at my words.

“I know it would be a shame for Damon if I did this, but I found out something and I can’t help but think about it.”

“Your suspicions are correct to some extent. “I couldn’t break people, so I ran away from home, saying I would at least break a tombstone.”

“Yes? rain… three?”

“That tombstone you told me about. “I went to see it with Damon.”

And he honestly confessed that he had destroyed the monument.

“what?! Could it be that the tombstone destroyer who has been on the rampage these days was Damon?”

“Has the rumor spread already?”

It seemed like Damon was doing something quite spectacularly.

“There’s no fuss about that these days. I’m desperate to find the culprit, but oh my! This is not the time to be like this! “We have to stop Damon!”

“Because it’s a spirit, wouldn’t it be detected?”

“The knights aren’t stupid, and there’s no way they won’t figure it out forever. Scholars are going on a rampage because even historically important monuments have been destroyed. If this is discovered, you too will be harmed. “Tell him to stop quickly.”

“Is it really dangerous?”

“uh! “Call me right now.”

I was just trying to find out how the situation was going, but it seemed like I should at least force myself to call Damon instead of asking about it.

To be honest, I didn’t know much about the locations of the monuments that I showed you, so I thought he would come back soon, but I was thinking that there was something strange about him not coming back.

“okay. Oh, and did you know that you can use spirits to search contaminated areas?”

“huh? “You’re using spirits to search contaminated areas?”

“Damon, this guy must have been wandering around the contaminated area alone. “I took advantage of the fact that monsters don’t attack when the spirit is alone.”

“ah!”

“Damon found out the location of the hatchery.”

“Hatchery? “What is that again?”

The word hatchery may still be unfamiliar to people.

“I’m talking about a place where monster eggs are gathered. That’s where monsters hatch their eggs and are born.”

“Monster eggs? eww… .”

“The number of monsters hatched here is enormous. So, if there is a hatchery, it should be destroyed as a top priority.”

“Are you hoping that the spirits will find the hatchery?”

“huh. I plan to use Damon to find hatcheries in the future. “It will be easier with your help.”

“You’re going to talk to Commander Thalia about the hatchery and take care of it?”

“That’s right. The hatchery is deep inside. “It would be difficult to clear a road there.”

I don’t know if the number of unit members will increase in the future, but right now, the only awakened people who can eliminate the hatchery are children.

‘Actually, the best character to eliminate the hatchery is Yul… .’

It was an inevitable choice because we did not know how many more monsters would be created if the hatchery was left unattended for another year.

I felt sorry for putting such a burden on the children, but going to the hatchery was not an option.

“I have to be away for a while. So, I’d like you to take charge of the hatchery work.”

“Are you leaving? how much? ah! Are you talking about the schedule you mentioned briefly before?”

“Oh, I guess I remembered. “That’s right.”

Since I had to secure the goods of the upper level in order to operate the upper level properly, it was natural that I should share my schedule with Erintina.

“how long does it take? “I don’t know anything because I didn’t ask for details back then.”

“Well, that’s it? “I can’t guarantee how long it will take.”

If things are resolved early, they will come back quickly, but is that really possible?

There is a need to resolve the epidemic before it breaks out, and we have been fortunate enough to have been able to do so so far.

I wasn’t sure if I would get that luck this time.

“I’ll contact you after I get there and see the situation. Don’t worry about the top because I’ll make sure to stock up on enough stuff before I leave. ah! If you need something urgently, send someone there. Then I will deliver the goods.”

“Do you have to go? Please tell me what’s going on and I’ll help. “You don’t need my help?”

help?

“It’s not like it doesn’t exist.”

“Tell me, what can I do for you?”

I thought it would be a good idea to prepare for when I couldn’t prevent an epidemic from breaking out.

“Well, what if.”

The problem was how to tell Erintina to prepare in case an epidemic broke out.

Erintina already jokingly calls me a saint, so how excited would she be if she were discovered to know the future?

“Yeah, what if?”

“I hope we can prepare in advance for when an epidemic occurs.”

But if you think about it a little differently, you already have all the suspicions, but you also wonder if it will be a big problem just because it looks a little strange.

“… Epidemic?”

“I will try not to let it explode, but I think we need to be prepared in case something goes wrong. “The only person I can ask this for is you.”

“What level is the epidemic? “What is the cause?”

“I have to go and look into that too.”

Although I roughly knew the circumstances, I couldn’t share the information because it was difficult to explain how I knew that.

“Anyway, it means that if you don’t stop it, an epidemic will inevitably break out. yes?”

“… Yes, there is a very high probability that will happen.”

Erintina got angry after hearing what I said.

“Why are you suffering through this problem alone? “I don’t have the will?”

“uh?”

“You should have told me earlier. Are you going to stop the epidemic by yourself? “Have you ever thought about getting help from others?”

“No, I’m just talking to you to get help.”

I brought this up to get help, but what should I do if someone tells me why I don’t want to get help?
