My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields Chapter 40

Resize text-+=

The story of who Edward Wight was and what kind of person he was was so widespread that even a country bumpkin could tell.

That’s how legendary his life was.

It’s unique and genius.

It was a word that was followed like a tag when describing Edward Whyte, and it was indeed the word most suitable to describe him.

Anyway, wouldn’t the fact that he was ranked among the top 7 on the continent with a force worse than that of a knight be enough to explain it?

 

His mother is Rebecca Whyte, who developed the Western Armin Ring Railway.

Edward Wight had as his mother an extraordinary woman who changed the times, and he himself was a man blessed with indescribable intelligence.

 

At the age of 10, Edward Whyte mastered all existing advanced technologies.

At the age of 11, he became interested in the structure of matchlock guns and modified the matchlock guns that had previously taken several minutes to load, drastically reducing the loading time.

At the age of 13, the concept he introduced succeeded in proving its terrible power with the outbreak of the Western War, and at the same time, he sat on a cushion of money.

14-year-old Edward Whyte didn’t stop there and started developing new weapons.

First, it was a business that required so much capital that the money raised by selling modified matchlock guns was not an option.

At that time, his intelligence shined once again.

 

-We will build a railroad that crosses the continent. With you.

 

It was an advertising slogan that spread beyond the West and throughout the continent.

It was absurd.

Isn’t it unimaginable how much money and time it would take to build a railway that would cross this entire continent?

Most people scoffed, but a few sharp-eyed people focused on the ‘with you’ paragraph.

 

It was like that.

He created the concept of ‘stock company’.

The method of investing capital in individuals and sharing shares of the business was a shocking method of running a business that was unprecedented on the continent.

He was the first man to legally notarize and realize the concept of investment, which had previously existed only as a rule.

 

It was something that could pose a threat to feudalism.

After all, hasn’t this created a deformed structure in which people can exercise power as long as they have money, regardless of social status?

However, no one could stop his rampage.

This is because the majority shareholder who invested in ‘EW’ at that time was the demon king Zerdia.

 

-It’s fun, give it a try.

 

The king of Nazak and a powerful man on the continent supported Edward Wight.

It had several meanings.

The biggest one among them is that Edward Whyte’s plan became more realistic.

Nowadays, the powerhouse of the continent, called the Seven Powers, was a name that gave great credibility.

 

-Well, there is no chance to buy shares of a company at such a low price other than now! Hurry up and invest!

 

Edward Whyte began attracting investment funds at an explosive rate under his shadow.

It was a success.

The railroad company ‘EW’ raised five times the amount of investment he had originally intended and was successfully listed, spreading the railroad throughout the West.

It only took two years.

The time it takes to do the work is bought with money.

Edward Whyte was 16 years old at the time.

It was at that time that the name of Igret Chulhwa, who was 10 years old at the time, was engraved on the iron wall called EW.

 

-Now we will spread the railway to the entire continent. We will also seek new means of force to end the war.

 

18-year-old Edward Whyte declared this and, in just one year, he succeeded in introducing one of the two new concept weapons.

 

Bolt action.

 

Instead of pushing gunpowder into the muzzle, they developed a gun that planted gunpowder in the bullet.

Of course, commercialization was an impossible technology.

Its power is great, but more than anything, it requires an astronomical amount of technology and capital to produce just one bullet.

Finding a craftsman to make bullets, training him, lowering the defect rate, and putting it into operation required an enormous amount of resources.

 

Edward Whyte eventually gave up on commercializing it.

However, we succeeded in supplying it to Armin’s elite soldiers.

It was a decisive event in which Armin, the weakest on the battlefield at the time, emerged as one of the three major powers.

 

On that day, Edward Whyte was granted the title of Duke.

He was widely known as the Golden Duke, and even earned the nickname Edward, the 7th Power on the Continent, despite being unable to handle even a handful of mana.

Armed force was purchased with money.

That’s 22 years old.

Then, at the age of 25, he completed the transcontinental railroad and spread his legendary biography around the world.

 

He’s that kind of guy,

 

“I feel uncomfortable. a lot.”

 

Elric couldn’t relax.

 

“Let’s do something quickly. “Rather than that, I should first ask how you found me.”

 

A blood-red glow appeared in Elric’s eyes.

Edward shrugged his shoulders with a smile.

 

“I guess you forgot, but is this railroad mine? Knowing who got on and where they got off is a piece of cake. Moreover, if it is an important person, the report will reach my ears.”

 

Elric frowned.

 

‘So you’ve known since you left the West?’

 

My thoughts were short.

I should have kept my identity hidden from the beginning.

 

“Hey, I’m still surprised. I never dreamed that the old Sword Demon was a married man. Sarah was acting like she was going to die today… Hehe! “Don’t look at it like that.”

 

The moment I tried to strangle him, Edward got scared and crouched down.

 

“We’re not on bad terms though, are we? yes? It was good on the battlefield… .”

“I thought I might at least give you a knee in return.”

“Eh… “What sad words.”

 

Edward laughed cruelly.

 

“That’s what I did. “That’s what our military did.”

“You were the one who made their weapons. And you go around bragging about it. Is that it? “I remember you were the one who commanded the battlefield that day.”

“I hope you see it as part of the business… .”

 

I really didn’t like the attitude of trying to sneak away.

Elric tapped his staff with his index finger.

 

“Don’t tell me what you came for. “I have company.”

“Oh, cancer. Such a beautiful lady… .”

“I wish you wouldn’t say anything more about it. I’m about to get angry. No, I’m already angry.”

 

The situation in which Edward found out about Tyria’s existence was too much of a bad news for Elric.

If he uses a trick, Elric doesn’t have many means to stop it.

I had to at least threaten him.

 

“If you play tricks on your wife, I can’t stop you. However, this does not mean that no action can be taken after that.”

“Yeah, right… ?”

“The first thing you will do is get hired by Armin’s enemy without pay. I will stand at the forefront of the battlefield and destroy your country. Of course, you won’t be harmed. “EW is your cradle.”

 

Edward swallowed dryly.

Elric continued speaking casually.

 

“We have to destroy the railroad. I’m going to kill your major shareholders one by one. If you do that, your friendly stake will decrease. There will also be people who want to sell their shares.”

“… .”

“It’s eating away at me. So, I will come to you right before EW collapses. “After strangling them until they become the most miserable, we rip off their heads.”

 

It wasn’t just a threat.

If he actually caused harm to Tyria, Elric was the person who would do all of the things mentioned above.

 

“Do you think I can’t do it?”

 

Probably not. His stiff expression was already telling.

It is ridiculous to discuss feasibility.

Sword Demon Kasha was such a name.

 

“Now, do you still want to talk about your wife?”

 

When asked, Edward straightened his posture with a more serious expression.

 

“… “Tsk, that’s not what I came here for.”

 

He scratched his head.

 

 

 

*

 

 

 

‘Ah, I guess I’m bored.’

 

Edward felt out of breath and Elric… I looked into Kasha’s eyes.

I thought he might have gotten a little better while recuperating in the countryside.

In fact, when he chatted with his wife, he had the air of an ordinary young man who appears everywhere.

 

‘He was wearing a mask.’

 

Does that man’s wife know?

That the person my husband decides to bite is a murderer who will go to the very end of hell to tear and kill him.

Edward let out a long breath and said.

 

“As you can see, I didn’t come to fight. You know, right? “If I was going to fight, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.”

 

Sword Demon Kasha was the man most worthy of the name ‘strongman’ among the seven.

Excluding the current situation in the empire where he is secluded, would it be possible to explain that there is not a single person who can defeat him in a one-on-one battle?

Of course, the battlefield is not just a one-on-one battle.

That’s why the seven were in balance, and Edward’s neck was still attached to this day.

Edward did not know that fact.

In this situation, he was clearly the underdog.

 

“Unless you came to fight?”

“I came here to negotiate.”

 

Edward said, leaning his head forward.

 

“I know very well that our old Sword Demon doesn’t like to talk back, and I also know that he doesn’t like being humble, so I’ll tell you straight.”

 

Edward took a deep breath and then got to the point.

 

“Please retire. “I hope you will never turn your attention to the western battlefield again.”

 

The nape of my neck is cool.

 

“I hope the war lasts longer.”

 

Kasha’s eyes sank.
