While Weed was gone, the Arpen Kingdo period
They had won a difficult war and the Earth Palace was being rebuilt at a frightening speed
The construction was being carried out by the architects of the north and they mobilized the northern users as labour Painters and sculptors on the continent also participated
However, the construction frequently went over budget!
“Everyone, the construction funds are in short supply There is no more money to buy materials so we need to postpone the completion schedule
“Payment! Payment! Pay for the construction of the Earth Palace has ended Fro funds to build Dawn City”
“Payment! Payathered in one breath!
They built up fame and national achievements as well as their names carved on bricks
Even the low level users in the north hadwas very affordable due to low taxes and the merchants’ success
Farmers cleared abandoned, fertile land, elves sold fruit froht seafood in the sea Weapons and armour were produced cheaply and there were plenty of quests
Equip the Haven Empire enemies in the ere also piled up like a oods were rarely sold at stores Selling goods in the store would require paying 30~65 of the price as taxes
It was like feeding an already full dog!
Theit to et rid of low level equipment and japte themselves
In contrast, trade in the north was proceeding briskly due to the cheap taxes
Users could easily change ite the day could earn them plenty of money for a coendary stories in the Arpen Kingdoh I live in Morata, it isn’t because of pretty women or a beautiful city The quests are fun and taxes aren’t expensive!”
The novice user Kir!
He gained japtem worth 4 copper and 13 copper He felt too embarrassed to sell it in stores or to other users
“I can’t live like this It is justmy backpack heavier”
The novice users had similar concerns once in a while
At first they picked up anything but later they would discard items worth less than 1 silver
But the users saw the process that Weed used to dispose of goods froolaths
The items were literally piled up like a mountain
“He came froo on fantastic adventures like Weed?”
And the iteh Mapan
Egg shells, stone sculptures, abandoned bandages, iron ores, claithered flowers, dried fruit pieces, old animal bones, etc
The iteolaths through the sea
Weed even suhost fleet to deal with the Haven Eh Mapan was talked about seriously in the Arpen Kingdom
“Weed-nim, this old map is in such a bad state that it can’t be traded”
“Heh, this can be sold to experienced sailors at Port Varna 37 silver Additional coe”
“Ah, indeed I learned a lesson I still don’t know the sea well”
“Mapan-ni a trade fleet from Port Varna”
“Hum huht of Weed collecting japteains!
The users felt like their mouths were full of salt
‘Cheapskate’
‘I don’t want to live like that!’
Due to the frugality of King Weed, the selling of japtem was like a natural culture in the north
People thought it was a waste to carelessly discard the japteal japte a beat during hunting Soained a big fortune
As the econorew due to japtem, simple quests could be accorowth rate of users and residents
The Earth Palace and Dawn City was being built but places like Morata, Mordred, Vargo Fortress and orc castles were also expanding
The Arpen Kingdom had wide, fertile land and their econo
The transportation network of horse carriages from the period of the Niflheim Empire were rebuilt
There was a boodo in
Due to the development of Morata and the other cities, the ruins of the old Niflheido quests, hunting and trading
In one rowth rate increased by 38 and corowth rate in the early days of Royal Road
The doent effort to overcome the lack of transportation and production facilities
Merchant was a prodom Compared to the heavy taxes on the Central Continent, the users chose the profession of merchant much doly wealthy
??????????????????????????
Bellot became the lord of one of the territories the Haven Empire conquered in the north
She first built homes and had 1,000 settlers transplanted
Haven Empire troops were stationed nearby so monster invasions weren’t possible
“What should I do to grow the village?”
Bellot and Hwaryeong iave up on friendshi+p and accepted the Herreed
“I will build a very nice and luxurious city”
A fantastically beautiful city where festivals took place every day and was the centre of traffic for tourists
But the reality was far her to help plow a field
The Haven E Of course, she could ask for an additional loan if it was needed
Settlers were also pro rampant in the Central Continent and city infrastructures were destroyed so there were many displaced residents
The Haven E them to the conquered north
“There is no need for a ricultural land needs to be cleared, mines developed and houses built…phew”
Bellot was desperate since she already used 25 row a village froive Lord-ni home to be buried in a distant place like this…”
“I’d like to see ”
Most residents forcefully moved from the Central Continent weren’t motivated
Bellot contacted Mapan to ask for help Mapan learned from Weed and had a brilliant sense for et ordinary visitors and he gave advice
“Urban develop like that?”
“Huh?”
“Isn’t the Her to provide residents?”
“They made a clear promise”
“There is frequent confusion on the Central Continent so make the settlers into slaves”
“Slaves, why?”
“Enoriven a certain amount of food then they won’t die of starvation… I have some slaves in my business There is no need to collect taxes from slaves Slaves are the property of their master Okay, just build tourist facilities and collecthouses is a waste of ood location Later there were be ular users so keep the tax low Then the village will develop into a city Continue to take slaves into the city Raise revenue through the slaves!”
A clear conclusion!
In Mapan’s eyes, Bellot’s village showed tremendous prouish, Bellot decided to abandon his advice It was essential to build houses, clear land and construct the required facilities to attract users
Approximately one e Residents rose from 1,000 to 4,000 people and Her
Occasionally they invested their s to attract tourists were built
The residents complained
“I’m old and about to die Build medical facilities so I can die cleanly”
“Lord-nim, don’t you know that there is no hope every day?”
“Training facilities for children? We lack skillful hunters so I can’t even eat meat!”
No matter hoell done, the residents expected more Bellot had low fame and public achievements so it wasn’t easy for her to rule
More than anything else, the lively fun of the north couldn’t be felt
“I think it would be great to be a lord in the Arpen Kingdoet tens of thousands of residents inand Mapan”
Bellot finally regretted it
But she didn’t care about the process
??????????????????????????
The residents of the Arpen Kingdo as Weed hit the Central Continent
Geoht the Haven Empire in the conquered territories
They already se to the Haven Empire’s army
The war hadn’t ended The Haven Edom had a sticky relationshi+p
Mapan told a ful story before he left
“The job of a merchant is to prepare for the future If you don’t read it properly then you won’t be able to get money The Haven Eht now”
“I’ve heard the news They are continuing to fight with re the rebels?”
“Even so, it is tough There will be s in the future”
“Don’t tell aped as the recent situation was summed up
The difference between the Her
It was still impossible to match the econoap was largest just after the conquest of the Central Continent
‘Weed-niap and caused the Haven Empire to commit to an unreasonable attack Wasn’t that followed by the plan to knock down the Royal Palace? After that, rebels started causing chaos in the Haven Empire’
Weed and the Hermes Guild hated each other He would either surrender or oppose the Herathered all his power then it would be a
There was already a lively ate Cult
Mapan’s trading company had considerable stakes in Weed
Apart from his shares in the northern continent, he participated in the blacka continent according to his i picture involving Weed for the first tiy but…that is only a shalloay of looking at hi the enemy’s ambition to draw thehts and continued his story
“The Arpen Kingdonificant role in the Central Continent”
“Is there so?”
“In the past, he had never feared retaliating He would hold a grudge until he is old…cool words like revenge and retaliation”
“……”
“Hudoed Wait and see”
He believed that the land Bellot ruled would one day be included in the Arpen Kingdom
When that day ca so won’t he exploit oose bu but that made her even more suspicious
The 3 Mad Sharks of Becky Nin would occasionally whisper things to her
They didn’t even dare drea Weed and looked up to him as a mentor
