Chapter 286 – 67. Mission. (One)

To be honest, even if the emperor died suddenly and suddenly, he wasn’t a great person who would cry out loud.

Aren’t they ripped off by nobles because the national treasury is empty, they don’t know what to do with the country, they put it on the back burner, and if they see a woman they see, they make her pregnant first, even if she has a body that belongs to her.

With a body well over sixty, drinking alcohol and women every day, it wouldn’t be strange if he suddenly died all night. It wasn’t like this all of a sudden after becoming emperor, wasn’t he a person who had been consumed with alcohol, women, and parties since he was the crown prince?

However, even if he is a human who deserves to die, he is the emperor of the empire.

If the emperor’s death was a natural phenomenon, it would be dismissed as God’s will, but if it was a murder, the story was quite different. It means that bloody winds may blow on the continent.

Of course, finding out whether or not the emperor was murdered is a job, but the empire faces other troublesome problems besides that.

The next successor to the throne would already be appointed, so the throne would not be vacant, but was the young emperor capable of resolving the various internal problems facing the empire?

Right now, the national treasury is empty, the debt is piled up everywhere that even the empire can’t handle, the internal affairs are so messed up that it’s dark to know where to start, and the nobles who doubt the ability of the young emperor are sure to be uncooperative, and there is no help. With the wives and concubines of the ancestors and half-brothers who only spend money while growing up, the imperial palace is all over the place…

To be honest, at this level, it might be better to refuse the position of emperor. It is certain that he will not be able to live up to his title if he wears the appearance of an emperor.

However, that was something that the high-ranking officials within the empire would take care of. At most, it wasn’t something the mercenary who only touched a little money had to worry about.

Of course, Allen wouldn’t be able to stay still if bloody winds started blowing across the continent, but he wasn’t at the stage to worry about that yet. … You have to do what needs to be done first.

In this Vermandois, Danju, who knows of the death of the emperor, is currently only Allen, the money demon.

And having an edge in acquiring important information means getting a chance to make a lot of money.

Merchants like Allen, in particular, always consider the impact that information will have on prices, and he judged that the emperor’s courier would probably have a very large impact on price fluctuations. Moreover, the current situation on the continent is also quite unstable.

… The possibility of infighting cannot be ruled out. Then we should stock up on some grain.

So Allen bought grain in bulk, ten times more than he would buy in a normal year. Of course, the top owners who didn’t know anything yet said they were happy that they had disposed of all the goods.

He instructed the Patton Master to keep in touch with Granzo Danju from time to time. As if the atmosphere in the empire was not unusual, the evil spirits also tried to organize their nests in the capital as quickly as possible and move to Vermandois.

Of course, since the construction of the hideout had just begun, he would have to rent the entire inn for a while, but he was willing to accept such inconvenience. That would mean that the situation is extremely bad.

After the sudden death of the emperor, it seemed that the capital had sent letters to various places in a hurry, and soon after, the information was delivered to Vermandois. Naturally, grain merchants began to drastically reduce their supply in preparation for an unexpected crisis, which soon led to a rise in prices.

The money ghost heard that the crown prince ascended the throne after the emperor’s funeral. The new emperor is a young axis with little age gap with Allen.

As expected, the atmosphere inside was not very good. The coronation ceremony, which should have been blessed by everyone, was covered with debt pressure from numerous nobles. He’s suspicious that the new emperor will rob him of his money.

The problem is that the newly enthroned emperor this time is a very weak person. If he had the charisma to dominate the aristocrats, he would buy time to solve it somehow, but he had no intention of dealing with worn-out old monsters.

The new emperor was reduced to little more than a puppet of a few senile nobles. The empire’s assets were devastated in the name of debt violations, and the prestige of the imperial palace fell to the ground. It fell so fast that I was amazed at how the prestige of the empire could fall so quickly.

Around that time, Grenzo, the evil spirit, also arranged all of the property in the capital and arrived in Vermandois.

It was a major incident that heated up not only the mercenary city of Vermandois, but also the entire mercenary world. How messed up the capital would be if even the Grenzo-Mercenary Corps, which had been in the capital for decades, moved their nest. … Of course, that’s not all of the reasons, but it’s true that it accounts for a significant portion.

“Long time no see!”

“You worked hard to come.”

The two sweethearts hugged affectionately. The money ghost felt a lot of fatigue from the face of the non-ghost. … Well, how many tricks must have been done to see through a person who is about to be a non-ghost in this unstable situation. Arlen in Vermandois is also being courted by nobles.

“I feel a little relieved now. How long have you been suffering?”

“I understand.”

“It’s a farewell to Su-do forever. He won’t even go anywhere unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

“I left an inn building where I used to live. It may not be as good as the capital, but Vermandois is worth living. If there is anything uncomfortable, please tell me anytime.”

“Thank you. This, I should do some cases.”

“Just being by your side is enough.”

It was sincere.

Rather, because he is a money demon who is crazy about money, he knows better than anyone else the value that cannot be converted into money. Just the fact that Granzo Danzo settled in Vermandois was a huge benefit to Allen Danzo. In particular, as he is a person far from the desire for power, Allen’s value will increase in return.

After saying goodbye, the two headed to the parlor in the inn building.

As the top 10, who are bound to be sensitive to the continent’s situation, to discuss the continent’s fate and future steps.

Allen, the money ghost, wanted to hear the non-ghost’s opinion about the situation in the capital, which could not be known with just a few words of information.

“How is the fort?”

It was a cut-and-dry question, but Grenzo, who was quick-witted, correctly grasped the point.

“In a word, the worst.”

“Will there be a war?”

For a mercenary, that was the most important thing. Will there be a war or not?

“There is a high possibility that it will fly. Too many seeds sown by the dead emperor. Moreover, the young emperor is also incompetent and weak. I’m being played by the court aristocrats. In particular, the wrath of the nobles who have not received their debts is on the verge of bursting. The situation doesn’t show any signs of improving.”

“By the way, what was the reason for the sudden death?”

The evil spirit shook his head slightly.

“I don’t know for sure about that. … However, it seems that there is something unpleasant about it.”

“Okay.”

“Of course, I don’t want anything big to happen, but be prepared for it anyway. When a war breaks out, the first to be sacrificed are mercenaries like us.”

“Don’t worry. As soon as I heard the sudden death, I was preparing. … I felt cheap for some reason.”

“Actually, me too.”

The imperial family and nobles who have enjoyed peace for too long.

But peace cannot last forever. Especially in this situation where the outside is very noisy, even the inside situation is going to the worst.

Granzo Danju said excuse me for a moment, lit a cigarette, and sucked hard at the smoke.

As if the future of the empire, white smoke escaped from between his lips.

“… I didn’t go through all that trouble to see something like this.”

Since opening the door, it has been a life that has stopped demons and demons at the end of the world only for the sake of the continent’s well-being.

Ironically, however, the peace-ridden empire, unaware of the crisis, was crumbling not because of an external threat, but because of internal festering.

If he had rather faced an external threat, would he have become so indolent? … For the first time, Grenzo felt remorse for what he had done.

“Sorry hey. I didn’t come here to lament your situation…”

“No. I know how ups and downs everything in the world is, but shouldn’t there be someone to listen to these laments from time to time?”

“… Well, not really.”

The two smiled quietly.

After smoking, Grenzo, the fire ghost, patted my knee with the palm of his hand to burn off the negative emotions.

“This is the end of the lamentations! It’s not like this will solve the problem… I have some things to prepare, can I get some help with supplies?”

“Of course. Let me know if you need anything.”

The fire-ghost Granzo said with a strange energy.

“Now I won’t just keep my hands behind my back… If a situation arises that requires me, I will gladly come forward.”

It is already impossible to believe in the self-purification of the empire itself.

Allen, the only one on this continent, knew how dangerous a person named Granzo could be in the eyes of the Empire.

… A great man who could burn the entire palace if he felt it was necessary. Only for the peace and well-being of the continent…

Because that is the mission of Granzo, the one who opened the door who realized the truth.
