Chapter 265 – 3. Dongju in May (2)
Muuo-!!
The black water buffalo spurted wild snorts from its stretched nose and took a rough step.
Behind such a water buffalo, a farmer was urging the buffalo with a plow driven deep into the ground, and the water buffalo spurred again at the farmer’s urging! He sighed and took a hard step.
“Hey, tsutsutsuk. Why can’t you use your strength today, bastard?”
The farmer, who had been preparing for farming for a long time, plowing the half-water, half-soil half paddy field with a splash, looked far away while wiping away the sweat on his forehead for a moment.
“Why is the warship coming from the Great Canal?”
Of course, warships could come through the Great Waterway.
However, ordinary warships did not use the aqueduct.
That’s also true, where such warships are generally active, their main mission is to wipe out pirates in the far outer sea, not inland, so they tend to use the outer waterway rather than the large waterway.
Well, it’s not like they wouldn’t come to the capital once in a while, but even then, they rode in through the waterway they usually used, not the great waterway, so there was no reason to go round and round to the great waterway.
“Oh my gosh. Could it be that the pirates have entered the main canal?”
However, there was only one warship to do so.
The farmer, who was examining the warship while urging the water buffalo with his hands and mouth, wondered what the hell was going on, but couldn’t come up with a reason.
However, if it had been chasing the pirates, there would be no way that only one ship would have moved.
Warships never traveled alone as they sacrificed their size to some extent for their durability and speed.
I don’t know why it appeared alone, but if pirates really appeared, at least five or six would have appeared together.
“Tsk…”
The farmer eventually just decided not to think about it any further and focused on plowing the rice fields.
“Hey bastard, don’t use tricks, can’t you move cheaply and cheaply!”
Muwoook -!! Puruk!
Loa, who saw a farmer plowing the rice field with his cow in the distance on the boat, heheh? He looked at the cow.
“There are cows here too.”
“Yes. It’s called a water buffalo. It’s a cow for farming. It’s a hydrophilic animal that lives well near water, but its meat is tough and the taste isn’t that good, so it’s not very suitable for food.”
YuRia, who came out of the White Watch, clung to Roa as if she was very anxious, and was constantly rolling her eyes here and there.
As if the squirrel was wary of everything around it, Roa held Yuria tightly in her arms and patted Yuria’s stomach.
Upper belly, of course.
He comforted her lower belly and let out a moaning sound. And there will be an uproar
More than anything else, if the height difference is so large now, you have to bend her body a little to get your hands down to her lower belly.
As she comforted her like that, Yuria raised her head and looked at her loa, who gave her a light smile.
YuRia seemed to feel a little relieved at that, and with a light smile, she embraced her even more and leaned on Roa’s arms.
In the past, in her immature and ignorant childhood, when she proposed to Yuria, she said what Yuria said to herself.
Being her husband, the duty of protecting her wife now fell heavily upon her shoulders.
Even though she saved Yuria every time she was kidnapped, she was herself, but basically, as much as Yuria was stronger than she was, what she protected was herself, not Yuria.
But now, her heart felt heavy at the thought that all of that weight was entirely on her own shoulders.
Let’s keep our minds straight. Probably because Yuria wants help in doing trade with this place through this ball.
There’s no way I’ll harm those who called to repay the favor, but I shouldn’t be vigilant.
All she has to do is to keep her spirits up and protect Yuria, and once the work here is over, she will go on a journey to find Yeouiju again.

“Hmm… Is that ship really that great?”
In front of the king sitting on top of the dragon statue, the general knelt down, bowed his head, and answered.
“That’s right, Your Majesty. Perhaps the reports of those who arrived first were mostly red-haired young men, but that huge ship. I looked at it while guiding the ship called the White Wyvern. Even if it was a large waterway, since the waterway was a waterway, the wire of the small god did not reach full speed, but as it was a wide waterway, despite the considerable speed, the boat called Baekkyung had plenty of room.”
Building a ship is a battle of choices and things to give up in many ways.
In order to achieve a certain speed, a certain size is required, but from a certain size, the opposite is true.
As you increase the size, the speed decreases. As the speed increases, the size decreases.
The durability of wood was also one of the big factors that greatly limited the size of the ship.
As the length of the ship increases, the load on the keel increases, and general keels are not enough to make such a long ship.
Again, many problems arise here.
In order to increase the ship’s volume, there is no choice but to widen it to grow the ship from a limited length. The wider the width, the slower the ship’s speed.
The weight of the ship also has a great effect on the speed, but the wider the ship, the slower the ship’s speed.
For the general, Baek Kyung was an innovation that broke that dilemma.
“For a warship, fast mobility is the most important thing, but sacrifices are too much for that. If you know Baek Qing, no, know the technology used in Baek Qing, and apply even half of him to build Yan’s ships, the Yan kingdom will become even stronger. Will”
The king seemed to be troubled by the general’s words.
“However, that’s why we can’t treat them carelessly. If we treat those who have done favors to the kingdom carelessly, who will try to show favor to our kingdom?”
“We will have to deal with them as much as possible and find out the secret to building a ship in a good way. However, if they can’t tell you the truth, I think we will have to get it through some form of coercion.”
“…”
The king fell silent for a moment.
“I’ll decide on this after I have the engineers take a look at the ship.”
“Okay”
After the general withdrew from the palace, Roa and Yuria, who had been waiting on the ship, were chatting with each other.
Yuria understands and analyzes the country of kite based on the scenery and appearance of kite she has seen so far, hugging Loa tightly and rubbing her. She was rubbing away and Roa was looking at YuRia with a smile on her face as if she were looking at a cute cat or puppy.
For some reason, I thought that if I was like this, I would like to play a little naughty prank, but it was really something I had to refrain from.
From the beginning, I was a person who hated that kind of person very much. Above all, something sexual that could have been laughed off to some extent in the past was now lumped into Yuria’s heart as a lump of strong trauma.
When it comes to himself, he really doesn’t get angry in the slightest.
No, if you think about it, if someone other than yourself did that, in some cases your throat might run away.
In the meantime, the report was finally over, and Roa and Yuria got off the boat at the word that the king wanted to see them, and finally got off the boat and came up to land.
All of the buildings in Yeon had a very open feeling.
Although the scale is huge, is it because the ground is soft? Perhaps to make it as lightweight as possible, the strange appearance, as if it had only a frame and a roof, was bringing a strange feeling.
“This way”
The bottom was empty, so I climbed the empty wooden plank stairs and walked through the open hallway.
As I followed the young soldier, whose face had matured quite a bit, along the corridor, a rather gigantic building appeared.
A huge building that gives off the feeling that this is a royal palace.
Is it a place with high topography and one of the few hard ground in this area? After coming here, I encountered a building that felt heavy for the first time.
To be precise, in other regions, it would feel like a ‘universal’ and ‘normal’ building.
In front of the large and thick gate of the palace, which was piled up with stone, a soldier wearing light armor was guarding the gate holding a spear, and he wondered if an order had already been given. The soldiers opened the door quietly without saying a word when they confirmed the appearance of YuRia and Roa.
Inside the palace was a little unique feeling.
For some reason, stuffed bear heads were hung on the walls at regular intervals.
After passing through the corridors and the large hall, they finally reached the door in front of the audience room, and Yuria nervously swallowed her saliva.
I regret that I should have recovered my ability, but I should have met the king anyway.
It was such a bizarre structure that this kind of state work was so bizarre that if you just left after giving grace, it would become a disrespect and not a favor, but an excuse.
Of course, not all countries are like that, but it felt that way universally.
In the end, it was never good to refuse the invitation in order to maintain good relations with this country in the future.
“Yuria… Are you okay?”
“Uh, yes… Gwa, it’s okay. It won’t be a big deal.”
It was like an allusion to herself.
Yuria arrived at the audience room with a smile and the door opened. Inside, she saw the king sitting on a throne a little higher and the servants standing around him. It might not be polite, but he put his right hand on his chest and knelt down on one knee. .
Roa saw Yuria’s appearance in her and immediately followed it.
Seeing Roa and Yuria bow, the King of Kites opened his mouth.
“Raise your head”
At the king’s words, Roa and Yuria quietly raised their heads and looked at the king without changing their posture.
“I heard that Jim’s dear sister’s son was not injured because of your contributions. It was a very large pirate crew, but I heard that you cut down the pirates like a rotten straw with amazing skills. Is that true?”
Roa lowered her head slightly and opened her mouth.
“What the King heard is right.”
She said that, but Loa kept stuffed bear heads decorated throughout the throne room and bearskin rugs on the floor. Bear here too. Bear over there. The interior decoration, full of bears, kept stepping on my eyes.
Do you like bears a lot?
“It looks like you’re seeing a water bear for the first time.”
“Yes yes?”
At the word “Water bear,” YuRia took a closer look at the stuffed bear head and the bearskin rug on the floor.
It looked like a hybrid of a polar bear and a brown bear.
It’s closer to a grizzly bear than a polar bear.
It felt like a mixed-race, close to the polar bear’s hydrophilicity and swimming ability.
So, is it Grolar Bear rather than Peasley?
“Well, there are no cold regions in this world right now.”
Of course, it’s not that there aren’t very cold regions. However, such areas are all about the ice caps on top of excessively high mountains.
The present Earth’s axis of rotation is upright, and it has a strange orbit that repeatedly approaches and moves away from the sun like a comet.
Therefore, it is a world in which all countries, regardless of the southern and northern hemispheres, meet the four seasons at the same time.
“I can give you some if you want.”
“If you just give it to me, I’ll be grateful.”
“We’ll talk about the water bear later, but I heard that your wife became a child under witchcraft. Is that true?”
Loa answered the king’s words by bowing her head a little more.
“It’s true. The red jewel on my forehead is not an ornament, but the root of a curse in my wife’s head.”
At those words, the surroundings started to buzz a little.
“Curse… I wonder if it’s dangerous to those around me?”
“Kuhm”
Roa frowned a little at the buzz around her, but she opened her mouth again without revealing it as much as possible.
“The power of love that was caught in an object was already released by the king of a kingdom, and even if it was before that, it was only directed at my wife and had no effect on others around me. It’s not something to worry about, so please don’t worry.”
Even if he tried not to show it as much as possible, his servants, officials, and officials coughed and coughed at the words of Roa, who felt bones and thorns in his words.
“Peha. Excuse me for saying this, but my wife is not good for her body the longer she stays outside her belly.”
“Hmm?”
The king of kites looked at him wondering what Roa was saying.
“The root of the curse embedded in my head remains in my head even though the aura has disappeared, and the root itself remains in my head and torments my wife. Fortunately, the Dragon King gave us a mission and reduced the root. It helped my wife recover and she was able to endure it.”
YuRia was a little surprised by Roa’s words.
False in a sense, but not false in a sense. A really subtle word.
Roa has grown to the point where she can say these things now, so Yuria was quite surprised and proud of Roa, but on the other hand, she felt a bit bitter.
Before I knew it, Roa was now a soiled adult.
Until a certain moment, he was so strong that he was closer to protecting the loa rather than the loa protecting him, but even so, the loa now has a child. She was there, she had virtually lost her powers and abilities, and now that she herself was a helpless woman whom her loa needed to protect, she seemed to be growing up as well as her loa.
She’s definitely not in very good shape, with the thorns in her head giving her bangs a rather nasty headache, but that doesn’t hurt her body.
Inside the boat. Among them, if it is in her bedroom, due to the increase in her recovery power in her room, she is somewhat calm because the degree of her condition decline and the degree of headache are offset, but Loa exaggerates the extent without subtly exaggerating it. Expressed by
“That…”
“Then her wife must be very tired now.”
YuRia quietly nodded her head.
Because her bangs were throbbing and it was definitely true that she was tired.
“Then it would be better to hurry up the conversation. Thanks to you, my younger brother’s son was safe and many warships and soldiers were able to survive. In addition, we were able to defeat the huge pirate fleet that had not been discovered before without much damage. I would like to repay this, so if there is anything you want, please tell me.”
Roa looked at Yuria for a while.
Yuria nodded her head at that and opened her mouth as she stepped a little forward from her loa.
“If you come, I want to trade with the Yan Kingdom.”
“Hoo?”
“I run a fairly large merchant company in the Western Continent. Although I belong to the Sorby Empire, I also have bases in the Shelton Kingdom and Han Kingdom, and I have a very close relationship with the Gash Kingdom. Also, the Northwest Continent, also known as the Small Continent, is currently It’s practically the same as belonging to a girl.”
To be precise, Tamamo’s Nure Island is the same as her own, but the small continent is managed through Nure Island anyway.
In fact, some semantics were also Sorby’s own.
This is the country of Tia, her own daughter.
Now that I think about it, I am not in a position to kneel in front of anyone.
She’s just unaware that she’s always thought of her loa and her side as her own place and she’s not thinking about the rest.
‘Shouldn’t I have asked Tia for some reliable soldiers and personnel from the Empire?’
The Empire, once a country that should have been the most vigilant, has now become the safest country, although not completely.
Although Tia’s control over the empire cannot be seen to be complete yet, the appearance of a god directly incarnated on this earth. The mother who gave birth to such a god, herself.
At least within the church, his influence can be seen as almost absolute.
Now that I think about it, it’s already too late. The ship is already in the East Continent.
If you have to call them even now, it is possible only after installing a gate at a point that will be the center of exchange between the East and West continents.
And those gates are so damn expensive.
Even after receiving support and investment from the Han Kingdom and the Sorby Empire, most of the surplus funds at the top of the euro disappeared like salt melting in water.
Considering that, it was not yet the time to install a gate recklessly.
“And I have a way to send and receive goods in real time, no matter how far away you are, beyond space. That technology is the secret to having such a large scale for the euro I built.”
What did the king say? And showed interest, and the officials began to hum.
“I heard that the Yan kingdom is very rich, but due to its unique environment, there are many shortages in many items. In this respect, the euro corps I have established can be an excellent solution. It will be possible to trade much faster and much cheaper than going abroad to sell goods and import the necessary goods.”
A lot of rice and a lot of avocado.
Right now, there are only two of them, but the seafood here seemed to be very rich.
As for exportable items, there is a country with a vast territory called Sorbi, and there is Gash, a heterogeneous kingdom, and Newre, which occupies a small continent.
Rare items were also abundant.
Of course, as each continent is different, among the items imported from other neighboring countries, there must be items that cannot be replaced, but Yuria was confident that there was nothing lacking in each other’s trade.
“Um, it doesn’t seem bad for now, but can we discuss it with the servants?”
“It’s okay. I also want to know the specialties of this place a little more by conveying the situation to the person on my side using the method I just mentioned. I can move things in real time.”
At those words, the King of Yan slightly brightened his face.
“Then I’ll give you one of my fast boats and a man. Your boat. The Baegyeong is so huge that it’s difficult to use it except in a large waterway, so why don’t you use the boat Jim gave you to travel around the country?”
Yuria couldn’t understand why the king was so bright, but for now, she expressed her gratitude and gratefully accepted the proposal.
Certainly, it would be more effective to go there and see for yourself rather than just listening to words or materials.
Above all, things that were thought to have no value in this country sometimes had a very rare value elsewhere.
In the past, pork belly parts called samgyeopsal or sea creatures called golbaengi were not consumed all over the world except in Korea, and you can see why.
Don’t know the value. Or really worthless due to the cultural specificity of the country.
A product that cannot be a special product at all can sometimes become a special product.
The meeting of those who have such different genus ended once.
