Chapter 409 – Viscount Desien
“Nice to meet you. My name is Hansung, and I am running a guild called Black Moon in Westway.”
“Oh, yes. Nice to meet you. It’s the DESIEN. I’m in charge of the site manager for this silver mine. What about the women behind you?”
“These are my wives.”
While shaking hands with Natalya, Roin, who was also sharing a full statement, she glanced strangely at the glove she was wearing.
“Why is that?”
“Is it possible that the thing in her glove is a magic stone?”
“Ah yes. It’s something you carry for self-defense.”
“Is it…”
Come to think of it, the magic stone embedded in her glove that her old man is wearing is the magic stone he took from her after killing her Sei Lewin.
Natalya processed the stuff that was stuck in the wand and transferred it to her glove, but did they notice that it was the same item?
“Why is that?”
“No, it just reminds me of someone I know.”
Judging by Duth’s expression as he answered my question, he didn’t seem to notice. It’s just a face that misses someone.
“Hemm, come on, sit on the sofa over there.”
I sat down on the sofa that Duth guided me to. After serving a cup of tea, Thess sat down on the sofa across the street.
“So, you said you were visiting on business? What products does the Black Moon handle?”
“We run slaves, brothels and weaving mills on the Westway.”
“Slaves, changgwan, and textiles?”
“Yes. This time, we also delivered bedding for the winter to Count Denevalve’s family in Westway.”
“To Count Denevalve? Then it seems to be quite a high-end item, but miners wouldn’t buy such expensive bedding.”
“Our motto is to sell good quality products at a low price.”
I crossed my arms and let out a long breath through her nose. Then, as if he had decided something, he nodded his head slightly.
“As long as you pay your taxes properly, it doesn’t matter if you bring your company here and sell your goods. As long as it doesn’t cause trouble, I won’t get involved.”
I was rather taken aback by Theth’s willingness to allow it.
I’ve never done a transaction like this, so I don’t know, but is it like this? Just as he was thinking about it, Duth opened his eyes and opened his mouth.
“However, from the viewpoint of the mine manager, there is an obligation to report to the Viscount everything big and small that happens here. It will cost you a little bit of that labor.”
Then it is.
“I prepare to not be upset when I bring the top.”
“Huh, you seem like a good conversationalist. Good top of the black moon. When will you be back?”
“You said it would be completed next week, so I’ll come in before then.”
“Please keep in mind that depending on the situation, we may kick you out if there is a possibility of adversely affecting the safety of the mine.”
It’s a safety argument, but in the end, if you don’t bring enough money, you’ll be kicked out of business.
I nodded in agreement and got up from my seat to take Natalya and Roin out, but Dous spoke to me from behind.
“Oh, come to think of it, do you have a place to sleep today? This side is all tents, so there will be no seats, and it will be uncomfortable to stay with the wives.”
“We have a tent that we carry separately. I am going to use it.”
“There is an empty room on the first floor, so you can sleep there.”
It’s a million times better than sleeping in a tent on the ground.
“Are you okay?”
“Of course. I get paid for my troubles, but I can’t afford that much.”
You bastard, what the hell are you expecting?

The owner of the lake moved his huge tail and swam with only his wide, elongated snout and two eyes sticking out of the water.
Pieces of wood and human bones sunk to the bottom of a deep, deep lake, caught up in its great tail, floated up and sank again.
He exhaled a long breath through his nose. As her face floats dangerously above the water, the water sways with her breath.
I watched the waterside with high towering yellow eyes to see if there was any prey approaching me defenselessly.
The unknown number of cold days were already approaching, so the owner of the lake moved to find a warmer place.
At the same time, it watches the waterside with its yellow pupils to see if there are prey that are approaching defenselessly.
“That’s right.”
At the water’s edge I saw a small piece of wood and two prey. If you dare to enter the king’s territory, I’ll check the taste of its flesh.
As always, the owner of the lake, hidden beneath the surface, silently approached the defenseless surface prey.
Did he think he could hide his enormous size? Looking at the shimmering surface of the water, Pusil touched the handle of the Gurkha hanging around her waist.
“Look there. It’s definitely a huge size. I wouldn’t have been able to move if I had run into him while riding on a boat.”
“The size is OK. You have enough qualifications to be my familiar. Sister. Catch him quickly.”
“Hey, aren’t men who fret like that unpopular? Are you sure you tied it up?”
“Of course. No beast can resist my magic. He’s defenseless right now, so do it quickly!”
As if proving that, his horns were shining red. Confirming that, Pushil rebuked her impatient brother, then slowly pulled out the Gurkha and concentrated on her.
Increases the speed of the magical energy flowing through the body. He fed mana to each muscle fiber and made his body run up, then slowly bent his legs.
Fain! The body sprang up like a spring and flew into the middle of the lake. The target is the forehead of a super-giant crocodile approaching this way!
True to his brother’s words, the crocodile does not move, just staring at Fusil as he jumps in.
Standing on the staggering water and the scales of the crocodile, I immediately swung the Gurkha at the scales between his eyebrows.
Because it was not a cut to kill, the wound was very shallow. But that’s the standard for crocodiles.
Pushil inflicted several cuts the size of his finger, inscribed with runes, then took a vial of his brother’s blood from his bosom and poured it into the crocodile’s forehead.
As if red blood glowing and defying gravity, the letters begin to fill up and side to side. After confirming that, I hopped lightly and returned to the shore a long distance away.
“How is it?”
Fusil spoke to her brother, who focused her attention with her eyes closed.
“Huh. It’s what the man said. He only spilled blood, and he became so sensitive. Why did no one know of such an easy method?”
As she smiled and nodded in satisfaction, Fusil recalled the human he had been looking for, calling himself a god.
“Don’t trust the man too much. I am so ominous with that man.”
“Sister, are you treating me like an idiot?”
“No way. You are well aware that my younger brother is a genius that is unique in the history of the Yongin people, right?”
“Then! There is no one who inherited the dragon’s blood more thickly than I did. There’s no way I could be fooled by a human like that, right? It’s just using Just as humans use us, so I use humans.”
“Okay…”
“Good. It’s a success.”
The bright light that overflowed from Sili’s horn faded. At the same time, red light radiated subtly from the crocodile’s forehead.
The guy is getting closer.
Fusil was a little nervous and gripped the handle of the Gurkha tightly.
“I called.”
“What are you going to do now? Are you going to take me back right away?”
“Are you going back? We’ve come this far, but we should check how strong we are, right?”
“Where are you going… ?”
“If you go east, there is a village of humans at the edge of the lake. Let’s go there to show the cheeky humans what they saw.”
“Yes, yes, my older sister will stir.”
“Of course! I am a precious body!”
Did I just accept the pampering too much? Thinking that her brother’s mannerisms were getting worse, Pusil pushed the boat alongside the crocodile.
The crocodile’s yellow pupil, the size of her head, is staring at her.
As the size of the crocodile is large, how great is the younger brother’s talent to handle such a huge beast. Fusil felt her own shoulders lift.
It would not be a distant future to push back those hateful humans and regain the territory of the Yongin people.

How humid is the dawn on the lakeside.
The miners living in the tents were on the verge of becoming extraordinary.
“It’s too humid, probably because of the mist that flowed from the lake.”
I stretched out as I watched the morning sun rising and melting away the dampness and cold that had accumulated in the lake.
“Haha, I’m in the best condition!”
“Why did you wake up early?”
As if it had happened before I knew it, I came out and looked at Roin’s big breasts stretching.
As if Roin felt my gaze, he swayed his body from side to side and showed off his chest.
“Is it because there is a lake next door? I feel good like a rainy day.”
“Where, well, you must be in good shape.”
As I approached from behind and rubbed the old man’s chest, I understood. It seems that her breasts are firmer than usual and her skin is smooth.
While rubbing my chest against me, the old man gently stroked my cheek behind my back with his hand.
“But what are your plans?”
“I don’t know yet. I think we should take a look around the town today.”
How to bring down a mine. No matter how much I think about it, it hurts my head.
Is there any easy way?
