Chapter 105 – Welcome to the Golem Trouble (7)
The biggest downside to staying at this inn is one.
I can’t use the restaurant because I have to wear a mask.
‘It looks fucking delicious.’
When Fran and I came down to the first floor, we saw guests enjoying an elegant breakfast. People who stay at hotels costing 150,000 won a day, so the clothes they wear are noble.
─Slightly.
But aren’t those noble people paying attention to us for some reason?
I thought it was just a curse word, saying that a former graduate student, a scumbag, had no shame in crawling out of a place like this.
“The one that those people heard in rumors… ?”
“Probably right. The guards are waiting for you.”
“Oh my God. Are they from the royal family?”
“I don’t know, but you’d better be careful. They may be overhearing our conversation as well.”
─It flinched. I was a bit caught in the middle by the merchant-like man’s words.
‘Did the rumors spread without knowing it?’
He solved a kidnapping case that was known to other cities. It seems that rumors spread even though we asked to remain anonymous.
I did a good job of hiding my identity with ‘impression camouflage’. It’s better to avoid troublesome things.
─Tumble.
We were about to quit eavesdropping and go to work, but a man who looked like a guard was waiting for us in front of the main entrance of the inn. He looked at us and became angry.
“Ah! Mr. Wayne! You are here!”
“Yes. Hello. What are you doing today?”
“That is… The captain sent me to bring Mr. Wayne, saying that the calculations for the previous day were settled.”
It’s probably the only thing that can be called a calculation. It seemed that the property distribution of the Cream Sauce Circus had been roughly arranged.
“You’re faster than I thought.”
“Circus items are difficult to dispose of, so they said they only had to dispose of the money and documents they had. Listen to the captain for more details.”
“I will. By the way, it would be better for the other colleagues to come too, so can we stop by for a while?”
“Ah, Mr. Lalilura, my colleague has gone, so don’t worry.”
Looks like someone else was sent. They said there was no need to go back a long way, so we followed the guards as they were told.
‘If I get paid, should I go to Sargadis instead of catching the golem?’
There were probably more golems near Sargadis than here. Wouldn’t it be more efficient to join the subjugation party rather than catching the golems that fell out of the group?
With that thought in mind, I went to the guard.
First, I met the captain of the guard as the party’s representative.
“This is half of the property that was immediately available for disposal.”
─Charleuk!
The captain of the guard put a small pouch on the table.
It sounds pretty light. Apparently, the amount of coins was small. Is it silver?
“It’s 3 gold and 13 silver in all.”
“… … Yes?”
“It was exactly 3 gold, 12 silver and 89 copper, but 11 copper was rounded up. Make it easy to carry around.”
Said the captain of the guard. But I couldn’t answer because I was gaping under the mask.
Uh, how much? 3 gold? 3 gold coins?
If 3 gold, 13 silver, 313 silver, 313 silver, 31300 copper.
In other words, according to the Norse exchange rate method, the exchange value of the won is——
‘300 million… 13 million won?’
My head was pounding because I couldn’t realize the amount.
300 million! Whose dog’s name was that?
Even if you pick up only 10,000 won on a long road, you think it’s honey, but if it’s 313 million won, you have to repeat it 30,000 times and pick it up 1300 more times!
‘If it’s 300 million, even if I change it to 1,000 won, I’ll fill a small single room.’
The fucking competent daughter-in-law turned 300 million won into 1,000 won bills and filled the room! The Grand Administrator soaked her pants in her wealth and begged her to marry her son!
Of course, in 21st century Korea, where price inflation is going crazy, it could be said that the amount is not that big.
This is especially true when considering real estate prices in the metropolitan area, where house prices are in the double digits in billions.
But it’s still 300 million.
Even if you save 1 million won per month, it will take 300 months and 25 years!!
“Since most of the property of the circus is animals, it seems to take quite a while to settle. After the sale of the criminal slaves and animals, you will be able to receive half of the proceeds from the sale.”
Fuck! Even if this isn’t everything?
Rather, it seemed that 3 gold was only part of the property.
‘Justice is fucking money.’
Justice is Money.
Is this why the Vectormen have been fighting hard as Earth warriors? Even if you don’t get a life allowance, you can hit it big, so I think it’s right for a hero of justice to do.
“It will take at least a month for the animals to be sold.”
Could it be because my astonished mood was hidden behind the Magical-Mask? Our kind guard captain couldn’t fathom my surprise and continued.
“However, I can’t keep a busy person like Mr. Wayne for a month, so I’m really sorry, but how about visiting again and picking up the remaining amount?”
“Uh… You can deposit it into my account.”
“Are you okay? Your identity may be leaked.”
The captain of the guard said worriedly. I was doing that because I was afraid that my identity would be exposed if I opened the name of my bank account here.
Even in the 21st century, cannon bankbooks were not made. I can’t put money in the bank without knowing my identity.
That’s what normal people do.
“It doesn’t matter. My account is encrypted, so you can deposit money there just by calling the designated password.”
“Ah! Excuse me. I don’t know.”
The captain of the guard who admires me greatly and looks at me with envy.
Does he even see me as ‘a person so great that the state encrypts his account’?
‘It’s not like that…’
Although the reality was that I was in charge of protecting the personal safety of scholars at the archaeological level. I took the amount while receiving the burdensome gaze of the guard chief.
By the way, the sale price of animals…
“… Could you give me a receipt showing the details of the sale, please? It looks like you have an agenda to discuss with your colleagues for a while.”
“Yes. Anything. I’ll be waiting for you.”
With the permission of the guard captain, I went to Fran and Lalilura who were waiting in the waiting room.
“3, 3 gold?”
Fran had the same reaction as me to the amount I said, but Lalilura wasn’t too surprised.
“As the group grows, the amount of money also increases☆ It is said that it is half of the total wealth, but even if it is around 6 gold, it is an average amount for a troupe or circus troupe☆”
“It might be so if you look at it as a group, but if you divide this by the number of people, it’s 1 gold per person. Isn’t 1 gold for one person a huge amount of money?”
“Four? Yes? Will you give it to me too?”
Lalilura was taken aback. What was he sitting there for?
“Isn’t that obvious? If it wasn’t for you, Anasis would have stabbed me with a knife and searched for me.”
If it hadn’t been for Larry Lura, she would have killed us both, even if the francs had come. While I was recovering, Fran and Erica would have been stabbed with knives and turned into beehives.
“I’ll be working with you for a while, isn’t it a bad thing to be careless with money?”
This is also a pretty big reason.
Imagine that a colleague stole 100 million that will come into my hand. Depending on the person, it is an amount that can even lead to an accidental murder.
So I gave this guy 1 gold and had no regrets.
Sorry. It’s gourd I’m so sorry Still, the closer you are, the better it is to exchange money cleanly.
“My life and Fran’s life cost more than 1 gold. Just take it quietly.”
“… Go, thank you.”
We gave the money to the shrinking Lalilu, and we divided the reward exactly into thirds.
But it was not this matter that I came to consult.
“I heard that this is an amount that can be disposed of quickly. If all the animals are sold, it will probably bring in more money than this.”
It was impossible to understand with my simple economic conception, but after thinking about it, I managed to understand it.
Even in reality, animals living in zoos started with the basic 10 million won. Selling dozens of living-animals would have resulted in real billions of dollars rolling in.
“So, I want to use the proceeds from the sale of those animals for the victims or for other good causes. I’m going to divide this into thirds, but I’d like to hear from you guys.”
“Good things?”
“It doesn’t have to be a good thing. Anyway, personally, I hate writing. Even though I can’t afford to cover the treatment of the animals that have been sold, I’m not at all reluctant to make a good living with the money I sold them.”
This was my true heart.
In the circus, they wage a revolution together, then sell their friends into slavery behind the scenes and give them money?
Only then is it the dictator ending where the bourgeois just changed into a communist at the end of the fucking revolution.
I have no intention of walking in the realistic language of communism.
Fuck that’s completely red. Tosa Gupaeng should also be done with a conscience, that was garbage that would have nothing to say even if it was hit by a lunchbox bomb later.
My name is Buk-ho in Amman, but I really don’t want to be a pig, a communist communist dictator of the North.
This is by no means a logical problem.
It is the problom of pride as a pro-proletalia.
The crossroads of whether or not I will become a bastard who sells out my colleagues for money!
If I put the price of their lives in my pocket here, it is no different from a professor who exploits and tramples graduate students!!
‘But what if I use it for social welfare?’
Buy! Episode! Luck! Ji!
Equal redistribution of wealth!
Ah, what a red word!
The results of the struggle for freedom at Animal Farm are being used for the welfare of the proletarians who were in the same situation!
This is what is international.
It was an idea I came up with, but it was a damn cool idea. If you listen to my proposal, it will be clear that Marx and Lenin will also tear open their graves and resurrect as red-skeletons to light the red torch of the communist revolution!!
“I agree☆!”
Ralilura agrees with me by raising her hand.
“It’s okay to regularly sponsor Erika’s orphanage! The Chrysos Circus is money made by squeezing people’s blood, so it’s good if it’s used for something good~♡!”
“I don’t care either. To be honest, I can’t even imagine what it would be good to do with Norr and me, even if it’s just 2 gold.”
So, my friends agreed with me. I feel sorry for some reason. This was my selfish hypocrisy, so it didn’t matter if they took care of their share.
“Yes. Then, let’s get it into my bank account, where we can protect our identity, and later withdraw it in cash and distribute it.”
“Yes~☆! Can’t you steal it in the middle?”
Haha! This year☆”
“Ah!”
After giving Ralilura a proper fit, I went back to the captain of the guard, where I met a little girl waiting for me.
〈 Rosanna?〉
〈 Ah! Brother!〉
It was Rosanna the Hunchback Girl. Surprisingly, her back condition improved a lot compared to the last time I saw her.
─Swipe. The guard captain nodded when I looked at him. It meant that I could wait for a while to talk.
〈 I heard that you came and came! I couldn’t thank you properly last time…〉
Rosanna said. Come to think of it, I couldn’t even say hello properly because I had to break up with this kid in a hurry.
〈Thank you. Is Rosanna going back home now?〉
〈 Yes! Executed in Romania… ? Anyway, they say someone like the guards is coming! You can go back with them!〉
〈 Really? That’s good.〉
It seems that the bailiff in charge of Anasis and Roman’s execution is taking these children as well. Rosanna’s hopeful eyes lit up.
〈 Me! Now that she’s been healed, her back is straight, and she’s going to see her mom and dad again! So when I grow up, I will come back to Britannia to say hello to my older brothers and sisters!〉
〈 haha. Don’t do that We’re moving around a lot, so if Rosanna listens to her mom and dad, she’ll come see you again.〉
〈Really?! How many nights can I wait?〉
How many nights It was a childish expression. It is an innocence that is hard to see in the 21st century Jammin, whose personality is bursting with YouTube and games. The thrill doesn’t stop.
〈 Mmm. About 100 nights?〉
〈100 days… ? Ugh yes! I’ll wait!〉
Rosanna grew sullen at the number that could not be counted even with her hands and feet, but then she regained her strength.
─Thumb.
I stroked Rosanna’s hair.
Perhaps the day me and Rosanna meet again will never come. Still, now this child’s future is different from her days as a circus troupe, where no matter what she did, it was impossible to do anything other than put up with her pain.
If I don’t visit you in 100 days, you’ll be sad, but if you live with your parents’ love, you’ll forget about the benefactor from your childhood.
Because everyone is becoming an adult like that.
Rosanna wept at my touch, then she spoke in broken Britannia.
“… Oh, not soon… Eat it brother.”
〈 Yes. Rosanna. Rosanna is doing well too. Is that a promise?〉
〈 Black… Ugh, yes…〉
In the end, Rosanna, who burst into tears, was taken back by a woman who appeared to be her nun. The chief of the guard had tears pouring from her eyes, not matching her appearance.
I asked him
“Are the children of Romania, including those children, taken by the Romania enforcer?”
“Kuhmm, it’s hot… Yes. He said he was going to go and meet her parents and get her treatment.”
“Is that so. That’s great.”
I first sat down in a chair and invited the captain of the guard to sit down. It’s a little rude, but Arthur Wayne can act like this.
“I pay for the treatment of distorted children like Rosanna. Let’s write a contract so that the treatment cost can be deducted from the sale price of the animals that come in my name.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Give that contract to the executor of Romania. The procedure will be carried out by the people there.”
“… Ah yes!”
The captain of the guard was embarrassed and brought me the contract.
It was a contract used to support sponsors or victims. I cringed inwardly at the guard’s respectful gaze, which was so burdensome, I wrote the contract with my left hand.
Look at the handwriting. Even if you put ink on the cock and write it, it will be better than this.
“With this, the procedure related to the amount is over.”
“That’s right. Thank you for your effort.”
“You guys did all the hard work. More than that——how did my request go?”
When I mentioned the main purpose of this visit, the head of the guard became serious.
“Ah, in that case, come this way. Let me guide you.”
─Kiki!
─Rumble!
There was the item I was looking for in the oil storage in the guardhouse.
Black leather armor for women. My eyes felt the subtle mana from there. That armor is a magic item.
“〈 Portable Subspace〉 armor with limited functionality to hold only knives, and 〈 Puppetry〉 48 enchanted knives.”
─Gulp! The captain of the guard swallowed nervously as he watched the items I had taken from Anasis.
“As a result of appraisal, it is a 5-star and 7-star magic item.”
