127. Let’s try a modern trick on a medieval man.

I smoothly took over as head of the gang association.

And all the leaders of the remaining alliance watched that.

Everyone looked at me, trembling with fear.

This was because I immediately killed the leader of the squadron after taking over the gang alliance. They were brutally burned to death where everyone was gathered.

Of course, it was an intentional action. It could be seen that such a show was put on to warn everyone.

‘It’s best for gangs to rule through fear.’

Anyway, everyone obeyed me out of fear.

In fact, it was the moment when an underground king who ruled the entire underworld of Trier was born.

Naturally, this news quickly spread through the back alleys of Trier. There was no one who did not know this.

Most reactions were that it wasn’t that bad. Even though I am notorious, I was selective(?).

‘Cancer, it’s a choice. ‘Where is such a good ruler?’

Soon huge amounts of income started coming in.

It had taken over the entire underground world of Trier. It was even weirder if your income was low.

I invested all of my earnings into magic cigarettes.

Magic tobacco did not end with just harvesting. So it was just a magic ingredient that was good for the body.

However, if there is magical processing here, the story is different.

‘Maybe it’s similar to the feeling of consuming nicotine and caffeine at the same time?’

As soon as you apply magical processing, it becomes incredibly addictive. This is why it had to be treated magically.

I built a huge factory in a back alley. And there they started producing magic cigarettes. Of course, the production was done by a wizard.

‘Because there are many wizards hiding in the back alleys.’

Of course, labor costs were high. This was because the production was done by a wizard.

But there was no need to worry.

‘It’s a cigarette that’s not harmful to your health. At the same time, the effects and addiction become more severe. There’s no way it won’t sell.’

This would have been a hit as long as it came out. I could tell.

And the long-awaited prototype came out.

I took out a gold case from my pocket. After that, he took out a magic cigarette from the case.

The magic cigarette had the same appearance as the actual cigarettes seen on Earth. It was something that took a lot of effort to make. Of course, it was clean from the outside.

Of course, the effect was even more surprising.

I put a cigarette in my mouth and took out the gas lighter.

Cheeik.

Afterwards, he lit it on fire using a lighter.

You could even light it on fire with magic. But it didn’t taste good(?).

‘It’s expensive because it’s whale oil, but this is how you should smoke it.’

Soon the fire burned out and smoke entered my mouth. I took a deep breath and let all the smoke go deep into my lungs.

“Se-eup, Huu.”

I definitely made it, but I made it well. It felt clean on the throat and smelled good. And the effect appeared right away.

‘Good.’ It reminds me of the old Earth.’

It was definitely much better than the cigarettes I smoked on Earth. It was a product that eliminated all the disadvantages of cigarettes. If it was bad, it was even weirder.

But does it mean that the hometown buff(?) cannot be helped?

Strangely, I had a craving for earth cigarettes.

‘The more possibilities I see, the more I want to go to Earth.’

Maybe it was because I finished one goal.

The back alleys of Trier were unified. I could see that one of the big tasks had been completed.

That may be why my nostalgia for the Earth has become stronger.

Anyway, I finished smoking. Afterwards, the butts were removed with magic.

Grumbling.

‘We have to move slowly.’

Actually, I was planning to rest a bit after unifying the back alleys.

But something happened suddenly. That too was the prophet’s request.

‘He said he would make another prophecy if I only answered this request.’

It seemed that even prophets could not make predictions easily. So, it was done for a high price.

Anyway, I prepared to go out to fulfill the Prophet’s request.

Coincidentally, the prophet’s request also appealed to me. To be precise, I liked both the content and the location.

‘A portal appears in the Dukedom of Philip…’

It was like that.

The Prophet wanted me to go to the Duchy of Philip. Afterwards, he wanted me to bring him supplies that came out of the portal.

Of course, I couldn’t be left out of something like this.

‘It’s an opportunity to screw Duke Philip and get supplies.’

If a portal occurs in the Dukedom of Philip, there is a high probability that Duke Philip will monopolize the supplies.

But if I participate, the story is different.

Besides, I also wanted to get revenge on Duke Philip.

‘How dare you set a trap for me?’

Of course I couldn’t miss this opportunity.

I quickly put on my disguise. Perhaps because of his high status, his disguise skills seemed to increase as time went by.

‘Because I can’t reveal my identity to the prophet.’

Soon, a young man in his 20s with an ordinary face appeared. Even using magic, his appearance was completely changed. I even changed my hair color. If this happens, no one will recognize me.

In that state, I quickly left the house. After that, it immediately flew up into the sky.

Squirt-!

‘We’re going straight to the Duchy of Philip.’

Trier was located in the center of the kingdom, and Philip’s duchy was located in the west. It was quite a distance.

But there was no need to worry.

‘Overflowing is mana. Let’s go quickly.’

Since becoming a saint, I have lived without knowing that I was short on mana. This distance wasn’t that difficult.

***

“Are you here?”

I arrived in a city named Schweig.

It was the center of Philip’s duchy and was also a fairly prosperous place.

Of course, it wasn’t as good as Trier.

Anyway, a portal will occur here within a month.

The items that came out there were also quite surprising.

‘For the first time, weapons are included…’

That’s why the prophet showed interest. After all, it was Earth’s weapon.

However, I thought that over-tech weapons such as rifles or missiles would not appear. The nations of Earth were not that thoughtless.

‘Maybe it’ll just be a sword or armor or something.’

However, even cold weapons will not be ordinary.

It was a sword made of Earth steel. Of course, it will be so hard that it cannot be compared to the new version.

‘The sword produced at the factory will be called a new sword here.’

In any case, I couldn’t let a weapon like this fall into the Duke’s hands. I had to take it all.

Anyway, there was a problem.

‘It takes too long for the portal to appear.’

The prophet said that a portal would appear within a month. But one month was too long.

And if you’re unlucky, you might have to wait a whole month.

Of course, it was vacation so I had some free time.

However, there was nothing to do for a month.

I made a worried face.

‘I don’t want to go to Changgwan, and the same goes for gambling houses.’

I just didn’t want to waste time.

It was then.

“We are recruiting investors at the top of Burg! Don’t you all want to touch a lot of money?! Then, invest in our top!”

I saw a merchant screaming loudly. It seemed like they were trying to recruit investors.

‘If you do that, who will invest? No matter how medieval it is, you have to gather people with amazing items… hmm?!’

Then, a good idea suddenly occurred to me.

‘Should I make some money?’

The more money, the better. Besides, I had no intention of making money normally.

‘Okay, let’s go and cause great damage to the Dukedom of Philip.’

I smiled something evil-looking.

The idea was to show medieval people the world’s most advanced (?) fraud methods. So, he planned to sweep up all the money from the Duchy of Philip.

Moreover, if he did well, Duke Philip could also fall victim to fraud.

I immediately approached the screaming merchant. Even if I had to cheat, I had no intention of starting from scratch.

‘Then, shall we make some money?’

***

Square in the city of Schweig.

I looked at a merchant next to me who was looking nervous. He was a merchant with an impressively large belly and was also the head of the Burg upper class.

“Relax. It’ll be fine. Didn’t I also say that I would split it 5 to 5?”

“Yes, yes! So please, no more torture…”

“CEO, you’re saying something strange again. When do you say I tortured you? Isn’t that right?”

“Ma, that’s right! That never happened!”

The head of Burg treated me very politely. Anyone who sees it will think that it was truly horrific torture.

In fact, there was some use of threats and violence. But that boss was particularly fearful. So I was able to quickly get him to obey me.

Anyway, I looked at the top manager and nodded.

Immediately I could see him shouting loudly.

“Wealth, accepting investors from the top of Burg!”

So far, the content was the same as the merchant who shouted last time.

Maybe that’s why people didn’t show much interest. There was a similar reaction even when the top leader himself came forward.

“Ugh, here we go again.”

“Do you have so little money?”

“Let’s go on our way.”

“Seeing as you have reached the top, I guess you really need money?”

However, when slightly different content was added here, the reaction changed dramatically.

“Our team has discovered a huge gold mine in the Kingdom of Xenos!”

“Gold mine?”

“Wait! A gold mine?”

“Really?”

Soon people began responding to the gold mine story.

And soon he showed even more interest in what followed.

“However, gold mine development requires enormous initial costs. So invest in one of our burg tops! Let’s develop a gold mine together!”

Soon people started approaching him. From then on, the Burg upper peak was a famous peak in Schweig. Maybe that’s why there were quite a lot of people flocking there.

‘It’s going well.’

I looked at that with satisfaction. If I had come forward myself, there would not have been that kind of reaction.

“So how much benefit do you get from investing?!”

“That’s right! That’s the most important thing! How much do I earn?”

The leader took a moment to catch his breath at the people’s cries.

And then he shouted again in a loud voice.

“We will give you 10% of your investment!”

“Hmm… 10% is a bit low, right?”

“Sure.”

“It’s a gold mine?! Spend more money!”

It was different from modern Earth. Here in Newpan, 10 percent wasn’t that much. This was because there were so many risk factors.

But I had to listen to people until the end.

“I’ll give you 10% a week! Just trust me!”

“Hmm? In a week?”

“This is a different story!”

“It’s pretty good, right?”

It wasn’t quite good. It was an incredibly good condition.

Soon more people approached the top leader.

And then I actually started investing.

However, since it was a money issue, the investment amount was not large.

But I smiled with satisfaction.

Because in fact, it starts now.

‘I never thought I’d run a Ponzi scheme in the Middle Ages.’
