Episode 127
This is a given.
For an individual to stand up to the state is an absurd thing that others will never understand.
But, as I have said many times, there is an exception for me and my teacher.
People of this generation don’t know.
How monstrous are these so-called transcendent beings.
And how much more monstrous were the peaks of that era, when even those monsters trembled in fear and bowed their heads?
What happens when they get serious about fighting?
I don’t know anything.
I can just mention one.
Necromancer.
If a necromancer who has mastered the extremes of black magic that no one in the world uses goes into war with all his heart.
You shouldn’t use the word war.
Just slaughter.
It’s a massacre.
First of all, I think we should ease Dean Gray’s worries a little.
This gentleman, it seems like only yesterday that he was dreaming of rebellion, but for someone who had such thoughts, he’s a bit of a swindler.
anyway.
“I expected that much.”
“……yes?”
“It’s something that is within the expected range, so why are you so worried?”
“Is that so?”
Dean Gray had a slightly puzzled expression, but maybe it was because the things I had shown him were so shocking.
Easy to understand.
But actually, it’s not like there’s no way.
As I said before, if you just get in my way, I’ll kill you all.
There is a famous saying that I know.
The corpse is silent.
As a side note, there is also a warlock version.
Let’s just move on from that.
“however.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“……yes?”
“You just heard me talking to our Master. I’m curious, but it doesn’t seem like much.”

Founders, etc.
Dean Gray literally watched me talking to the teacher from the side.
But he doesn’t say anything.
I have to say that his appearance of not showing any emotion or being curious seems a bit peculiar.
Dean Gray said.
“The one I’m going to serve is Confucius, not Confucius’s teacher. If there’s anything I need to know, I think Confucius will tell me separately. And.”
“and?”
“In reality, the fact that you had this conversation in my presence means that I just want you to know this much… isn’t that what you meant?”
Gasoline.
A whistle comes out on its own.
Aveiro is like that, and so is Dean Gray.
They are interesting people in many ways.
There are some strangely similar aspects.
“I’ll make room for you later.”
“Seat, are you speaking?”
“Oh, there are people I can introduce to you separately, and it will be a beneficial place in many ways. But more than that… … .”
Squeak-
I couldn’t continue speaking.
The door opened and a man slowly walked in.
Age: approximately mid-50s.
Should I say he looks manly?
Cicada eyebrows and a slender face.
It’s strange, but it’s also an appearance that strangely suits him well.
If you only look at his physique, he looks like some kind of mercenary, but if you look into his deep eyes, it feels like you’re looking at some kind of strategist.
I don’t know how to explain this.
It feels really strange.
Should I say it’s similar to the feeling I had when I first saw General Rommel?
To put it simply, it is out of the ordinary.
“I’ve kept you waiting for a long time. First, let me apologize.”
The man bows his head.
There is no pretense and everything seems sincere.
He’s quite an unusual person.

As I was thinking that, Dean Gray, who was sitting next to me, reacted a little differently.
I open my eyes wide and look at the man with an expression as if I had really seen a ghost.
Dean Gray said.

“… … Roland… … Lynch?”
“It’s been a while, Commander-in-Chief Gray.”
Roland smiles slightly.
It wasn’t a smile meant to be intimidating or aimed at anything, it was just the kind of smile you’d make when meeting a close friend.
“I never expected it. The leader of the Continental Battlefield would be here.”
“I stopped by for a moment because I had something to do. By the way, how is the president?”
“… … Yes, I am well. By the way, are you here on business?”
“Business… … is similar. In fact, aren’t all merchants like that?”
The atmosphere is comfortable.
No, but if someone saw me, they would think I was just a sack of barley that I had borrowed.
He raised his hand quietly and stopped their conversation.
Then, the two men’s gazes slowly move towards me.
First I asked Gray.
“I guess you knew each other?”
“Yes. I met him once and had a conversation with him when he was the Commander-in-Chief of the Teslan Kingdom Army.”
Yeah, by the way.
“The amount of money is so large that the person in charge has arrived. Please sit down for now.”
Although he lowered his voice, Roland showed no sign of discomfort.
He just sat across from me without saying a word.
“I don’t need to talk at length, do I? What are you going to do with 400 billion?”
To put it bluntly, I thought about it with my head.
Roland Lynch.
I’ve heard the name many times, but this is my first time meeting him in person.
But the situation is that he has to give me 400 billion won.
I wonder what his answer will be.
Should I threaten or persuade?
Even though the Continental Battlefield has a lot of money, it is impossible for it to have 400 billion won.
Maybe, even if we pull out as much as possible, it would be around 100 billion gold?
Isn’t that the limit?
However, Roland’s subsequent answer is quite interesting.
“I will give it to you.”
“……huh?”
It’s not like it’s overacting or anything.
I was really surprised.
You’re just giving it to me?
Advertisements
400 billion gold?
how?
No.
Even if the question of how is that, why do you give it so obediently?
“really?”
“yes.”
“really?”
“yes.”
“it’s crazy?”
“……yes?”
Dean Gray, who was sitting next to him, opened his eyes wide, and Roland Lynch, who was sitting across from him, also opened his eyes wide.
“No, what if you give it to me like this?”
“… … ?”
Roland Lynch looks at me with a puzzled expression as I show a strange attitude even though I say I will give it to him obediently.
There was also deep curiosity in his eyes.
Wow, this is a first for me.
“No, there’s some pushing and pulling, some bargaining, some attacking, some stabbing. The story progresses. If you just give it to me like this, it’ll be too bland.”
[ha ha ha.]
The teacher next to me bursts into laughter.
“… … You really are a unique person. Just as the rumors say.”
It’s just as the rumors say…
“You must be impressed by what I heard. It must not be a very good rumor.”
“Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it.”
“That’s true.”
I sank deep into the chair.
“Okay, let’s talk about it in more detail. How much are you going to give it to me? It’s a whopping 400 billion won.”
“To be honest, I can’t afford to lend you 400 billion gold right now.”
He nodded.
I have no intention of being unreasonable.
400 billion gold is a lot of money, enough to run a country for decades.
It’s just a ridiculous amount of money.
“Considering the realistic situation, I think we should give it in the form of ‘installment repayment.’ I think that even the Confucius who received the money will fully consider this.”
He shrugged.
As I said before, I have no intention of being unreasonable.
I’ll give it to you without any hesitation.
Then I should accept it.

“so?”
“It’s simple. Our continental battlefield earns about 3.4 billion gold a year.”
“Just through simple sales?”
“Yes.”
There must be a lot of money.
“If we give bonuses to the kids below, what’s left?”
“It’s about 2.8 billion gold.”
2.8 billion per year.
In fact, there are a few groups on the continent that take the form of the upper level, but they are only small groups.
Even they are setting foot on the continental battlefield.
To put it simply, the Continental Battlefield can be seen as the ‘only’ merchant group on this continent.
I didn’t say it was huge for nothing.
surely.
“You earn a lot.”
“No, not 400 billion.”
Ps …
“You said installment repayment? Explain in detail.”
Roland takes on a serious expression.
“I have some money saved up personally, and some reserves from above. If I pull all of that in at once, it will amount to about 100 billion gold.”
“so?”
“I will first pay you 100 billion gold, and I will repay the remaining 300 billion gold by 2 billion each year.”
Let’s see.
2 billion, 300 billion a year, at least 150 years.
ha.
Is this guy joking?
“Do you think I will live more than 150 years?”
“Even if you pass away in the middle, the money will be paid to your close relatives. The first priority among them is the person nominated by Jack Valantier, and the second priority is your biological child.”
There was a reason why I said I would give it to you obediently.
“You want to buy time? You want to buy time and then quietly assassinate me from behind?”
It was a sudden remark, but Roland looked as if he understood.
“Continental Battlefield keeps its promises. If it makes a promise, it keeps that promise unconditionally. If it borrows money, it pays it back no matter what. Continental Battlefield is that kind of organization.”
“It’s an interesting organization.”
“Also, it was because it was an organization that strictly adhered to such beliefs that it was able to reign at the top of the continent for over 100 years. If 150 years seems long, you can shorten it to 70 years or 60 years.”
“Is there any way to get money?”
“If we clean up the top third or so and collect all the checks from those who owe us money on the continental battlefield, it’s close, but possible.”

I guess it’s possible.
“The continental battlefield will be shaken.”
Roland laughed bitterly.
“What can we do? The Continental Battlefield is such an organization.”
If you owe a debt, you must pay it back.
Not afraid to get his hands dirty, but never gets involved in political matters.
The Continental Battlefield was definitely a mutant group.
Like Dean Gray standing next to me.
I got a feel for what kind of man Roland Lynch was.
In fact, I had heard many rumors that the Continental Battlefield was a fairly fair organization, but this was the first time I had actually used it.
Because.
In the future I lived in, there was no continental battlefield.
An organization with a lot of money and excellent information capabilities declares neutrality… … .
The Tulcan Empire, which unified the continent, would never tolerate such an organization.
Yeah, this is enough.
“You don’t want to give it?”
“……yes?”
“Honestly, I don’t want to give you 400 billion.”
Roland’s expression hardens.
“150 years? It’s 150 years, how can you be sure what will happen in that time? It won’t change even if it’s 60 years. No one knows the future.”
The gentleman in front of you probably doesn’t even know.
After the Tulcan Empire unified the continent, all those who held key positions on the continental battlefield were beheaded.
There is not a single exception to that category.
The seed of all those who use the name Lynch will dry up, and even the families of those in high positions.
They are all hanged.
That’s what’s going to happen in the future.
“Let me emphasize this again. No one knows the future. However… … .”
“but?”
“To put it a little more nicely, we can prepare for a good future from the present point in time.”
I slowly raised my head.
“Roland Lynch.”
“… … .”
“Let’s do just one thing together.”
The atmosphere becomes subtle.
“I’ll give you a discount.”
Advertisements
“… … .”
“Very, very radically.”
I should have mentioned this earlier, but this is going to be easier than I thought.
