v2c12 (2/2)

“Yes, yes lor, no, officer”

Hans looked half-dead froot from the viscount, quickly responded to the question

“It will be wise for you men to not leak out whatever you heard just now and the tax is 50 gold Even if we have our nanimous lord, it is hard to administer the territory with such little tax while there are useless people like you around So I will have to force my way like this”

‘Wahh! How can you be this shameless?’

As if he welded a steel plate on his face, Adold without even flinching once

I heard that there are several hundred villages in the territory, so the amount of money collected should be enormous

‘This bastard, you wait and see I a down the wrath upon you!’

[TLN: Lee-Mong-Ryong was a much debated real/fictional person who acted as undercover investigator for royal family, ould identify problems that commoners had]

He was one those people who had nothing better to do than make commoners suffer

“Here it is, sir”

Hans hands out the 50 gold that was prepared beforehand

This much aers never got to meet me, it would have been a product of sweat and blood

“Did you guys kick out Ryan who took his time to visit?”

“Ryan you are referring to is…”

“Oh my, you can’t even remember this I sent out Ryan frouys refused hi you”

‘Rotten bastard He is openly robbing and black You better tell yourself you are dead’

The fact that this bastard was ruder than the Crown Prince of the Ohsung Group, Hwang-sung-taek gave me shi+ver in happiness (?) [TLN :(?) is part of the raw]

‘Laughing? Right, those laugh, let’s see how far that laugh will go’

Ad s the money

I noticed that the face will later look similar to the face when Ryan from Daron Merchant Group was humiliated by me

————————————————————————————————————————–

“Please secure all the items listed here”

‘

“All of them?”

After thewith the officer and the viscount, I quickly returned back to Forest’s Rest where Ja in

After borrowing a paper and a pen, I wrote down all the iteave it to Jamir

“5 carriages with 10 horses, 400 bags of finely grinded flour, balanced gender ratio of cows, pigs and sheeps at 20 each, 100 chickens, 50 well-h fabric for 300 people, screw and other various ic refrigerator thatto construct an entire village?”

After reading the entire list, Ja at me with his surprised expression

“Ha-ha, I will leave it to you for the prices When I was trying to buy everythingtime…”

Trying to buy everything on the list with Hans was going to take few days, let alone a day

I was going to take too many hits from other merchants

(TLN:as in get ripped off real hard)

I felt better to just lower my face and ask an actual professional

“I knew you weren’t an average man when I first saw you but you really amaze me How about it, do you want to become a merchant?”

‘Heh? Another scouting? I can’t do anything about my own popularity’

“I do not want to”

Naturally,I shook my head

‘At least a lord I don’t need anything else’

Getting backon my list

Any other sht

“If you work under ers Why don’t you reconsider?”

“Wow! Ma, er!”

Terrison as beside Jaave surprised look

It probably is a decent position to hold

“But I still don’t want to be one”

“Why do you not want it? This should be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

Jaret

“I have another dream to achieve

“Have a dream… I can’t do much then”

He as s behind my words

“But you must keep the promise with me”

“ My family motto is Honesty!”

“Your family motto is Honesty… Ha-ha! It’s a very merchant-like family”

Ja like those adult-like child

“I request everything to be ready by two days later in the

“Morning 2 days later?”

“Ah! If you want to acquire Madir, I think we need to start the trip in that time frame”

You gotta pull the cow horn when it’s hot

[TLN: When doing a task, when it reaches a critical level, proceed quickly without hesitation Probably just saying that while Jas done quick]

There is no benefit to delaying things

“Alright I will trust you and invest in you this time”

“Master Jamir… But…”

[TLN: Terrison used honorificin saying Jalish]

“This is a decision er of Rubis Merchant Group Quickly secure allterritories”

“Yes, er!”

[ TLN: saer since he refer Jamir by status, not name]

The , Terrison quickly lowered his head when Jaer

It looked like they have to maintain strict order and discipline to be counted as one of The Great Five Continental Merchant Group

‘Is only thing left is the potions?’

Potion apparently costs few gold for each one

The village chief said to buylot more than that

They say if you hunt meat for a person, that person can survive the day happily, but if you teach how to hunt er

‘The teh’

Temple could be the most difficult part of today’s plan

It looked like I have to try first

‘Oh! It’s pretty good?’

The temple that ithin the castle of Viscount Fiore was considered land of Neran, Goddess of Mercy

There are about 10 poles with archin between supporting the temple

It was reek temple

‘The Temple Potion is holy water which is blessed of an oracle, who holds power of God with power of healing and ability to repel spell

(TLN:항마력 which translates along theto assus like curses or other non-physical harm?)

The Temple Potion looked lot more cost-efficient than the potion recipes that was in my head

Magic-infused potion often used blood of a troll, which was high-class ingredient and the user would often get hit with side effects, which made it very unpopular item

Because of that, icians would substitute with the spell Heal

‘If I think about it, becoht is a decent choice, if you learn well, you would be able to becoion back in Earth’

I thought back to reasons why e wealth on Earth

The large aic

The moneycouldn’t help but to run naked into the pockets of my master

Welcome, breathrens The Goddess Neran loves you breathrens no matter when”

(TLN: This sounds really aard but oh well ><>

As soon as we enter the te appeared in front of us

“I am Pontiff Hador, responsible for this temple What is your reason for visit today? Perhaps you are in need of guidance from the God?”

‘I don’t trust it That white beard’

Master Gundalf, who had exceptional look also had white beard for purpose of tricking people

The pontiff as giving amiable smile was also like that

“We cae…”

“Pontiff Hador!”

When the purpose of visit to the church was about to be said, a familiar voice was heard

‘Wait, what?’

It was Ryan froe chief and got fed yeot fro along of the ered)

He called out the pontiff while e body

“Isn’t it our faithful servant of God, Ryan? What do you need to be in such a rush”

“There, there is so I must tell you immediately “

“Really? Then please come in Brothers, please wait a bit”

As if they were fareeted Ryan

‘Don’t tell me, that bastard…!’

As he followed behind the pontiff, he turned around and gave a venomous stare towards me

‘Yea, why don’t you pull out your cute tricks’

He was one of many ere currently in my hit list

Since I was going to give him most hellish experience in his life, I waited for his trick to unfold

‘Hm? Ohhh!’

———————————————————————————————————————-

The interior of the temple was quite impressive

To show off it’s holiness, there areits shi+ne froht and at the center of the te

There was one thing that captured the all the attention from such lavish interior

‘A praying angel!’

A lady with straight blue hair with plain religious clothing praying while kneeling

I knew right away that the lady was not a nor she wore, which blended with the temple

‘I wonder how she looks from the front?’

Her back figure was already good enough to give two thumbs up, a perfect score

A sight of a lady’s back who ispraying gave off holy aura around her and the looking at her back would ignite any men’s protective instinct

“Hm Breathrens…”

While hest, the old man Pontiff Hador appeared

“Yes, Pontiff Please speak out “

“You wanted to purchase the potions?”

“Yes Our village’s potion lost their effectiveness, thus we need new potions About ten should do”

“It saddens me much but I cannot sell the potions to you”

“Yes?”

The sudden change of Pontiff Hador’s face

The Pontiff’s face, who decided not to sell the potion displayed unco

“I heard you wronged the roup of our dedicated follower of Goddess Neran”

“Ah, no that was…”

“You don’t need to speak anymore Even if it’s Neran the Goddess of Mercy, it can’t be helped that one would cherish their own children Those who obstruct works of Gods would not be granted the power of God“

“You, your holiness, that is not what it seems…”

“I will be off since I am busy…”

As if he was scared of estured a cross with his hand and quickly left

He definitely received a “medicine” and ate it

“Seriously…”

“Huhu, this bastard Let see how you handle this I wonder how long they can last in that countryside with no potions

After Hador left, Ryan appeared fro ridicule

“You said you are Ryan?”

“This kid…”

When I called out on him without honorific, as if he was already in bad mood, his face reddened like hot iron

“What, You want to go at it? I will give that chubby fat of yours a round”

I invoke a bit of ht at tiny eye

“This, this bastard…huhu Yeah do whatever you want Soon your village will be shredded into pieces by ical beasts

The pig who realized his disadvantage quickly retreated while not forgetting to curse out on us

“Rehteous thunder will soon rain down upon you people”

“Thunder? Puhaha! Whatever you wish, you son of a bastard”

Ryan the piggy was running away towards outside of the te to show ridicule on us

‘Geez, there is always people like hio’

While only having ability which only amounted to size of rat’s tail, they would harass those with no power

I will only show them mercy over my dead body

“I am sorry…”

‘

‘…?’

When I was about to leave the te a chase, I heard a clear voice as if I was hearing things

I subconsciously turned my head around

“Wow!”

I gave out

‘Angelina Jolie? No that’s not it How do you explain this beauty!’

She was about 167 cm (5’5”) (TLN: I have never used imperial, is this how you leave it as?)

Her skin was clear like a newborn baby who has never seen the sun with deeply sunken brown eye, a nose which was sharp with no help from silicon and small but red lips

Finally, the radiance around the lady which made her stand out the most

The lady fro such a holy and noble aura which made it hard to keep my focus on her (TLN: Too holy for my tainted heart~ :P)

“I apologize for my inability to spread Goddess Neran’s love”

As if she heard my conversation between Hador, the lady who looked like she would soon shed a tear for usquickly looked down

Her hand pressing down on top of her chest was very refined

An electrifying feeling was constantly beating in my chest

“Excuse ht you be?”

Isn’t it right to know the identity of person apologizing to accept their apology

“I a Goddess Neran”

‘priestess-in-training? Only?’

Just by looking at her, Ara with God’s love

The lady who felt more holy and looked more devoted than Pontiff Hador called herself a

‘

‘She is really beautiful…’

She was a female priestess at the level of a Sister and I was moved from her pureness

Back in school, Ye-Rin was patiently waiting for my return, but the feh to be called the embodiment of beauty

“Sister Araht of Gods who looks over the humans?” (TLN: Honorific wise, I don’t know if sister/nun is okay…)

“Yes?”

“The kindness of Gods is soht like the sun and those folloho dares to dirty God’s nareed sincerely pains my heart”

I bring up ious people to Aramis

“Haven’t you felt it Sister Ara on the surface but inside, howtears due to these to these religious officials who calls themselves followers

“Ah…”

Froroan

‘It’s not like this is the only temple’

It didn’t matter even if Aramis did not accept my criticism

If it were the Rubis Merchant Group, they can probably procure endless amount of potions

After I finish my words, I slowly turned around

I suddenly felt guilty after relievingas powerless to do anything

“Wa, wait a moment“

I heard the voice of Ara teary

“Truly sorry I, no, WE are truly sorry Hik”

‘Huh?’

Along with the her sluround, I could hear Aramis’ cry

Ara up from my comment on the temple staff, ere no different froious people

I felt I becauy all of sudden

“Selling out God’s love… taking away the offering, being biased a to embrace the sick and the poor, I repent for all the sins that have been committed”

‘…’

I shouldn’t be the one being asked for repentance but apprentice priestess Aramis,

“But what can be done The little authority I have achieves nothing Even if I wanted to embrace others, these two limbs can do only so much, the heart is there but by the restrictions set upon fellow followers, I am not allowed to casually spread God’s love Oh please teach er of God, lead me to my salvation…”

‘Messenger of God? Oh my’

I didn’t plan for this but Ara for solution from me

How could I possibly know the thoughts of a God

“Everything is just projection of your heart If you believe you cannot do it,you would not be able to do it, even if the world was to be backward, if you believe yourself that it is achievable, then there would be nothing to be afraid of in this world Further you from behind? What are you afraid of? There will always be a unchanging God supporting behind you

The words were flowing as clear as strea down on blueout of mouth like streamon a mountain

It aler from God

“P,projection of my heart…”

These ords did not co from monk Won-Hyo

‘Korea’s education is world’s top class for sure’

After being enlightened on the importance of education, I quickly turned around and walked away

I had no more words to say toward Aramis

The village chief repeatedly reminded me to acquire the potions but what can be done? Theto sell them to me

‘Such a nice fragrance’

I caught unfa into my nose

I felt very refreshed thanks to the s than(TL:I didn’t kno to go about the flower part, best I can do is this I guess)

‘Aramis…’

I could guess that the s
