Chapter 355 – March 355 -15
As Ravian hesitated, Jiha spoke briefly.
“You can pretend not to know. You can lie But remember, there is no next time.”
“…”
Labian hesitated, grabbed his dress and bowed his head.
“The Five Kings of Ouroboros meet the leader of the Red Union.”
Ashira made a startled face, but she, Jiha, smiled bitterly.
“Were you friends with Alex?”
“… I have never seen your face in person.”
“So, since you have hidden skills, are you confident to try it out with me?”
If Labian is on the same level as Alex, he will have his own rhythm.
No, it wasn’t common to have the guts to be obedient in front of the basement.
“I have no intention of antagonizing the commander-in-chief. I accepted Ouroboros’ offer, but I’m not particularly loyal to them. No, there is not much reason for Ouroboros to be hostile to the Red Union in the first place.”
“Did Alex die to me?”
“For them, a dead man is ugly.”
Well, Ouroboros had no camaraderie. Right away, Louchen and Alex also pointed their swords at each other when they thought they were wrong.
Jiha smiled with satisfaction as she looked at Labian, who was serious.
I like it when you show your true colors.
“I also fund Ouroboros, but I’m not particularly loyal. I just wanted to use it in case of emergency, and I just accepted the position of the Five Kings.”
“Who are the other two?”
“I do not know. But it won’t be on the Blue Seal.”
“…”
Jiha calmly looked at Ravian.
Each time the four wings of light tremble thinly, the five-colored light forms a wave and colors the surrounding space.
“So, as the Fairy Queen, the representative of the fairies and the five kings of Ouroboros, would you like to negotiate with me as equals?”
“If you harm me, all the fairies in Wordsland will turn against the Red Union.”
“I don’t see it that way.”
“…”
Labian had a complex face and said that he was underground.
“Now open up properly.”
“If you guarantee the safety of me and the fairies, and furthermore, the safety of the citizens of Larussa, I will fully surrender and cooperate with the Red Union.”
“Any property?”
“I’ll give it to you if you need it. No, in the first place…”
Ravian smiled bitterly.
“Although the fairies have accumulated wealth in Larussa, it is only a means for self-defense. If you don’t have power, can’t you survive if you have money?”
“Hmm.”
“However, this is the position of the fairies and me. The Merchant Guild is even more complicated.”
“Isn’t the mayor following your words?”
“I don’t think you know why La Russa prospered as a business…”
Labian flapped his transparent, rainbow-colored wings.
Then, from the four wings, brilliant powder fell to the floor. When Ravian shook her hand, the powder came to the front of the basement.
“…”
It was a powder that continued to twinkle beautifully, a mysterious light.
Ashira’s surprised face, Labian explained.
“It’s called fairy dust. Adorn it with precious metals or jewelry. In addition to adding beauty while shining permanently, it is also good for maintaining health, and when applied to wounds, it helps to heal. If you take it for a long time, it is also effective in increasing magical power.”
“It’s beautiful Muan sweet water.”
Ji-ha behaved calmly, but admired it inwardly.
It was a really valuable item, even if it was a unique item that even Ash could not recognize.
“Can all fairies become this?”
“The colors are different depending on the color of the wings. Fairies have slightly different colors.”
Ravian said calmly.
It seems that since he has already revealed that he belongs to Ouroboros, he has nothing to worry about anymore.
“The fairies made Larussa prosperous by secretly distributing this fairy powder. It was my judgment that if there is no power, there must be money. However, fairies originally like to play leisurely and are not a race to engage in business or politics. So I joined hands with those who were bright in the business. That is how La Russa flourished.”
“You’re a distributor.”
“Yes, I produced and handed over fairy dust, and the La Russa Merchant Guild monopolized the sale and gave us a margin.”
“Have you been caught?”
“No, I’m not that stupid. If you tried to hit me too hard, I kept the minimum line, saying that I would find another merchant.”
Ravian smiled bitterly.
“A fool cannot be a queen.”
“Okay, so?”
“So hundreds of years have passed, and this business has only gotten bigger and bigger. At some point, I was entrusted with the responsibility of governing this city. Not so strange, given that the city thrived on fairy dust. But…”
Ravian helped himself.
“This must be a trap. Once I was in charge of the mayor, I had to do this and that, and I couldn’t blindly assert the interests of the fairies. For the sake of the whole of La Russa, I had to bear the losses of the fairies. Right away, the margin rate began to decrease metallurgy, metallurgy, and it had to be provided free of charge for the city’s finances, and even performances by fairies had to be staged.”
“I put it on a ladder and shook it.”
“… That is an accurate expression.”
Labian shook his head.
“I patiently obeyed, but I couldn’t follow Cheon-ho’s command to offer the fairies as toys. The Merchant Guild said that if Cheonho wanted something, he had to give anything, and that the rarer the gift, the more valuable it was, but I absolutely couldn’t do that. From then on, they completely diverged.”
“…”
The merchants who put money first and the fairy queen who wanted to make money for their own people had to go their separate ways.
“Even if only half of the bad rumors about Cheonho were true, I couldn’t. No, even if Cheonho is good, it is absolutely impossible for him to sell his own people. Even if they are mischievous, stupid, and do stupid things, they are still my people.”
“Why did you attach a string to Ouroboros?”
“Since you refused the offer to sacrifice your people to Cheon-Ho, shouldn’t you find a way to avoid your misfortune next time? I stole fairy dust for them and gave it to them.”
Underground smiled bitterly.
“If it’s for the sake of my people, I’ll join hands with the devil.”
“Are you talking about demons? We don’t like each other, but we’ll do it if we need to.”
Ravian spoke confidently and looked down into the basement.
“The story is over. Commander, are you going to punish me?”
“If I kill you, the production of fairy dust will be impossible.”
“If I die, the fairies will scatter in all directions. They only listen to me.”
In the end, it was better to leave Labian alive and use it to get fairy dust.
Ravian knows that, so he’s proud of himself.
Fairy dust is a very valuable item.
“The wound heals…”
“I listen well to trauma. However, it is expensive.”
“Let’s do it for free.”
“… Yes?”
Underground said calmly.
“From now on, offer me the fairy powder of all fairies. It is used for the treatment of soldiers. Give it all away for free.”
“… I am a robber.”
Ravian’s face was astounding.
“Even 1 gram of fairy dust alone exceeds 20 million. The amount the fairies produce per month…”
“Anyway, you must have moderated the amount of production. Oil producing country.”
“…”
Fairy dust was a resource monopolized by the fairies, to be exact, by Labian. According to her intentions, the distribution volume could be adjusted in the market.
“Until now, you must have listened to the Merchant Guild and adjusted the amount you solved. I will do that Don’t circulate it in the market, give it all to me.”
“… I was thinking of making it cheap, but isn’t that too much?”
Rabian protested.
It was a natural objection since she was told to dedicate all of her oil reserves to the Earth.
“Instead, the Red Union will reap the fairies.”
“…”
“I hated Cheon-ho anyway, and since I had nowhere else to go, I must have been nervous holding hands with Ouroboros. Even if Cheon-ho doesn’t look at you well, if he kills you, he can’t produce fairy dust, so he’ll leave it alone…”
Labian was the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Everyone in her knew about her, and although they threatened her, they didn’t hurt her. She also knows herself that she lacks power, so she went around.
Right now, Red Union was also in a situation where he was caught trying to taste the liver.
“And I have no intention of giving you a choice. If not, I will kill you here.”
“…”
Seeing the underground gaze, Ashira reflexively grabbed the sword.
He should have known that it meant cutting down Labian in case things went wrong.
Labian was taken aback that the basement was doing this even though he knew everything.
“Chief, aren’t you being too reckless?”
“If you can’t be an ally, you give the enemy an advantage. I can’t let you live.”
“…”
Fairy dust is much more expensive than gold dust. But that was the value of a jewel.
The dazzling beauty of the basement, if you finish the decoration with fairy dust on beautiful accessories, you will be ecstatic.
In the age of women over men, women would not have spared money for such beautiful accessories.
However, what Jiha focused on was wound healing.
There is no such thing as a potion that recovers when you drink it in Wordsland. Magical drugs are too versatile.
‘If you have fairy dust, you can use it for urgent injuries. You can sell something and use it for military funds. It’s better to accept the fairies anyway.’
Ravian was dumbfounded.
“There is also a cure, but you want to use fairy dust? The price is different…”
“I ask the price. Did you do this to make money?”
Underground said calmly.
“Don’t confuse means with ends. I’ve been working to make money for a long time, so things have changed. Ah, well, people feel happy when their bank account balance increases, but how to spend money after collecting it is more important.”
Underground waved his hand.
“It’s not about randomly distributing fairy dust to soldiers. But I have to hold on to it. Gold and diamonds are just stones in turbulent times, but fairy dust can be used for practical purposes. Either way, I can’t let you stick with the other guy.”
“…”
“Make up your mind right now.”
Fairies were cards that had to be held in one hand.
Labian, who had not expected that the underground would come out so resolutely, said in a perplexed manner.
“… Are you saying you’ll kill me if I don’t obey?”
“I’m doing this anyway.”
Jiha put his hands on his knees and leaned forward.
“Did you not know what I was thinking?”
“… Yes?”
“Did you think that I just dragged the army in because I didn’t want to look like Cheon-ho?”
Ravian had a bewildered face.
In fact, she only thought of negotiating with the underground, but she did not know what kind of ambition he harbored.
No, I don’t know anyone in Wordsland yet.
“I will bring this world together. Everyone will kneel beneath me, and I will strike and kill every one who rebels.”
“…”
It was a radical and ruthless word, but it was the essence of conquering the world.
“Eating the capital of Blue Seal, smashing Cheonho, it’s not the end. Next time I’ll deal with purple. Ouroboros? Of course I’ll sort that out too. In the end, I will make everyone bow down to me.”
“… Are you serious?”
Ravian asked in a trembling voice.
For a woman who has made the protection of her people her top priority, the scale of her underground vessel, her ambition, and her ambitions were dazzling.
“Decide.”
“…”
Labian hesitated, then nodded her head.
“All right. I will abandon Ouroboros and follow you… There is one condition.”
“Say it.”
“Even if I try to do that, the Merchant Guild has a different idea. They… It is connected to Heaven. In fact, he secretly dispatched people to the capital several times, and it seems that he also met Gyumal. This is also openly written in the merchant union’s account book, so if you check it, you will understand.”
“So you want me to sort it out?”
Ravi An now resolutely nodded her head.
“They are those who are connected to Heaven, and if they get rid of them, I believe that the commander’s ambitions are genuine, and the fairies, including myself, promise to follow the Red Union.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
The basement rose from its seat.
Labian opened his mouth in surprise.
“… Yes?”
“I’m going to clean it up now.”
Underground laughed.
“Enlil will have broken down the door, so it will be convenient.”
It was cleanup time.
