Chapter 229 – Eating the Land (2)
After meeting and talking with Namgung Muhyul, I took out his thread again and held it in his hand.
Ugh…
The energy flowing through the thread continued to spread.
However, I soon quit.
It was because I felt like I had let go of a little bit of energy.
Before meeting Namgung Muhyul, I could see that Sati had gone much farther than when she had tried a long time ago.
Now, there wasn’t enough time to chase after Sati.
It was already evening because I was listening to a lot of things from Namgung Muhyul.
Now, instead of worrying about Sati, I should be worrying about whether or not I’ll be able to get home before curfew.
First of all, I guess I should go home first.
Sati comes after that…
To be honest, even now, if I were to go looking for Sati, there was nothing I couldn’t do.
Rather than going back home right away, I would just call Lilith, Hoaran, and Justitia over the phone, and with the help of those three, I would be able to find Sati wherever she is.
Since I know the direction and can roughly estimate the distance, it will be easy to find Sati wherever she is.
However…
Solve the matter regarding Sati with the help of her wives?
That’s too bad.
At least, I knew it shouldn’t be like that.
As I already heard from Lilith, that’s really too much.
“…Let’s finish the Sati work first.”
What I should prioritize now were my wives, not Sati.
Slurrrr…
I turned her body around, looking at her disappearing thread, as if it were seeping in again.
After breaking up with Namgung Muhyul, I went straight home, but I still couldn’t get home until dinner time was over.
Anyway, it was a long time ago compared to yesterday, when I returned a little after lunchtime, but when I returned home almost right before curfew, I found Lilith at the front door with her arms folded, as if she had come home before me.
Unlike usual, I was surprised to see that only Lilith had come out to meet me, but I decided to start with apples.
“Sorry, I’m a little late.”
When I said that to Lilith, Lilith, who was looking behind me with a frown, opened her mouth.
“What about the goat boy?”
“Uh… I don’t have any?”
Lilith frowns even more at my words. I saw Lilith approaching me and sniffing my body.
Finally, Lilith, frowning even more, opened her mouth.
“…What? You didn’t spray anything or anything, right? “Why can’t I smell anything?”
“I didn’t spray it…”
“If you weren’t there to meet that goat girl, why were you late?”
“Ah.”
Thanks to this, I was able to understand why Lilith was like that.
Since I had just returned home yesterday and didn’t come back until dinner was over, it seemed natural that I had met Sati and thought they were together.
Contrary to Lilith’s expectations, instead of seeing Sati’s face, Namgung Muhyul’s woman came to see her hair, which had become even more bald.
Anyway, to clear up Lilith’s misunderstanding, I tried to find Sati, but I couldn’t find her. On the way, she got a call from Namgung Muhyul and told me that she had heard a lot about this from last time.
And, I saw Lilith frowning at my words in a different way.
When I saw Lilith’s expression like that, I realized why she was acting like that.
I was supposed to contact you in advance if I thought I would be late for something, but I forgot again…
“You really.”
“Sorry, I was out of my mind…”
“…Ha, that’s enough. “Come inside first.”
After nodding her head to Lilith’s words, I went inside and for some reason, I saw the wives looking this way from the bedroom door with their faces exposed.
“What, what are you all doing there?”
I was curious as to why only Lilith came out to meet her and everyone was there like that, so I asked her that.
“Lilith said to stay in!”
“She tried to stop her, but she didn’t listen at all. First of all, Hanzo, if you decide to do that, I can’t help but bring it in, but I have to make sure… But, it looks like the kid didn’t come at that time.”
“She thought it would be fun and wanted to watch, but unfortunately it turned out. “If she had known this would happen, she would have just gone to sleep.”
“Well, I tried to stop you too, but…”
Even though I just said one thing, each of the wives responded back with different words.
But thanks to that, I understood why other wives besides Lilith were stuck there, with only her face sticking out.
Since my return home was late, Lilith thought that I would bring Sati to her house as soon as possible, and it seemed that Lilith was trying to do something to the new Sati as a representative of her wives.
Hoaran and Karura, who are weak-hearted and sympathetic, and Justitia, who is okay with anything that looks fun, and Carminaya Sati, who is positive about the harem, will not be of any help to the work, so Lilith is probably the only one who decided to step forward.
But actually, instead of seeing Sati’s face, I just came to see Namgung Muhyul’s shiny and shiny hair.
I don’t know what Lilith was trying to do with Sati, but considering she was waiting in front of the front door alone with her arms crossed, I had a pretty good idea.
If Sati, who had been bullied by Lilith before, had chased me home, she would probably have been scared when she saw Lilith earlier.
She must have been devastated.
No, considering what happened to Sati, she might have fainted if she saw Lilith as soon as she opened the door…
“Lilith…”
“…You said you were meeting with Namgung Muhyul, right? Tell me what you heard from her. “It’s over now so you can come out.”
It was obvious that Lilith was trying to change her stance, but she nodded anyway.
I heard a lot of land-related stories from Namgung Muhyul, but there were so many that it was difficult to organize them.
So, I just passed on to everyone exactly what I heard from Namgung Muhyul.
In a few days, there will be an announcement that a large-scale purification project will be carried out under the supervision of the world government, and here are some areas with a lot of contamination that is easy to purify, including radioactivity, and monsters that are relatively easy to eradicate.
They said they plan to immediately cleanse several areas, including the areas above the peninsula.
Rather than simply doing it through the power of the world government, the participation of individuals and organizations will also be selectively reviewed and accepted.
Anyway, from what Namgung Muhyul said, it seemed like he would allow me to participate.
It seemed that the world government was accepting participation from individuals and groups, but it seemed to be selective, so it would have been very difficult to be selected in the first place, but it seemed like the benefit given to me was that I was unconditionally permitted to participate.
It seemed that it wasn’t just me who could do it, but that up to 10 people or even 10 groups of people besides myself that I guaranteed could do it.
Anyway, when I said that, Lilith, who was listening to me, asked.
“…Is that the end? “Is there anything else?”
“That’s it… Oh, that’s right. In addition, the world government said they would hire a special hunter clan for me. “They pay all the expenses here.”
“How much money does it cost to hire them? Hmm, yes… I guess so. “I was just thinking of wiping my mouth with it…”
Uh…
Aren’t hunters worth a lot of money?
B-rank level hunters are people who easily earn 100 million won a month. I don’t know which hunter clan the world government will hire, but since it is a clan, it will fill the clan’s minimum qualification of 30 members, so if they hire all of them, No joke, the money was going to be lost.
The purification project will not be completed in a day or two.
However, it seemed that Lilith did not particularly like the conditions that Namgung Muhyul presented to me.
“In that case, Hanzo. What do they say about the most important land?”
“Oh, that’s it. They say that about half of the land that was successfully purified will be divided according to merit.”
It would have been said that achievements were given based on the area of land purified, or the number or level of monsters etc. Eliminated in the area.
Not only land, but also various things offered by the world government can be exchanged for public interest.
“…Is that all?”
“Yes? Yes.”
When I saw Hoa-ran frown slightly at my words, I wondered something, but then I heard a gurgling sound.
“These bastards.”
It was none other than the sound of Lilith grinding her teeth.
I wondered why Lilith was so angry, but Carmina, who was sitting next to me, poked me in the side.
“Why? “Carmina.”
“Hero, I don’t know the details of the situation here yet. “Isn’t this work a pioneering project, so to speak, under the supervision of the country?”
After thinking carefully about Carmina’s question, she nodded and spoke.
“Yes. But why is that?”
“Hmm, then it’s definitely excessive. In this case, in the Kingdom of Narmer, 80% of the land was given to those who pioneered and cultivated the land. Moreover, it was common to receive tax exemption for 10 or 20 years.”
“Okay? But isn’t 80% too much?”
That’s what I thought, Carmina said.
“No. There are many ways to acquire land, but the most difficult of them all is pioneering. In the case of conquest, giving half of the land to the conqueror is an excessive price, but this is not the case in the case of pioneering. “If you were to ask which of the two is more difficult, the land that is already habitable even if it has been destroyed and burned, or making a wasteland into a land that people can live in, wouldn’t it be the latter?”
“Oh, right?”
Rather than pioneering bare land, I thought it would be better to be in a place where there was something, even if everything was destroyed.
Although that may also vary depending on the case.
Unless it’s really completely destroyed and there’s nothing left, it would be better if there was something left.
