Episode 271
“I prepared the supplies because you wanted it, and I also submitted a request to Shane… … “I don’t know if I’m just spending the money and only getting harmed.”
Enormous combat supplies.
Gold Rich frowned as he looked at the sight filled with not only the bows and arrows mainly used by the Dark Elves, but also plenty of food and various daily necessities.
In Gold Rich’s hands was a ledger containing the enormous amount of gold expenditures incurred due to this war.
For a merchant, spending is not a loss, but since tens of millions of gold were spent, Gold Rich could not sit idly by.
of course-
“In the first place, most of that was paid for as a request for Shane.”
“… … “You gave a more expensive commission to a person with a higher ransom.”
“If I hadn’t given him that much, he wouldn’t have come.”
“… … “That’s true, though.”
It could not be denied that a significant portion of the tens of millions of gold spent was the ten million gold for Shane’s request.
together-
“And these bows and arrows were made by Old Man Genno and Old Man Melton at the Gold Rich Workshop, so the quality is good, but in the end, they were made with a moderate amount of work. “Excluding the actual labor, it would only be the cost of the materials.”
“Do you know how much that labor costs?”
“So who brought that labor?”
“… … “It’s you.”
“Then be quiet.”
The bow and arrows, which were the biggest remaining expense after excluding Shane’s request fee, were made at the Goldrich Workshop and boasted excellent quality that everyone could recognize, but in the eyes of Jinhyeok, who also has talent as a blacksmith, they were made by a craftsman-level blacksmith for loose ends. I noticed it right away.
In other words, other than the actual cost of the materials, it is not a particularly expensive item.
Of course, the price of an artisan-level blacksmith was enormous, but recruiting them was more difficult than giving them hundreds of millions of dollars, so Goldrich had no choice but to keep quiet.
Melton came after Genno (Muyoung), and Genno came because of Jinhyeok.
But Goldrich didn’t sit still either.
“Daily necessities… … !”
Huge amount of daily necessities.
An enormous quantity that can clothe and feed hundreds of dark elves.
The value would also be a ridiculous 10 million gold.
However, Jinhyuk cut off Goldrich’s words and turned the battle back to nothing.
“I know that only a portion of what was purchased in bulk was taken out to give to Yuldo-guk.”
“… … “How on earth do you know that?”
“Because it’s the guild master.”
It is natural that the more you buy something in bulk, the cheaper it becomes.
To Gold Rich, who was purchasing daily necessities for a country called Yuldo, it would not be noticeable if he gave away a village’s worth of daily necessities from what he prepared in advance.
As a result, the money Gold Rich spent in this war was Shane’s request fee and the cost of equipment materials.
In other words, it’s only about 10 million gold + @.
Well, even if it was only 10 million gold, it would not be easy for most climbers to touch it, but for Gold Rich, it was the price of gum.
“War is always accompanied by devastation and wealth. “Poverty for the losers, wealth for the winners.”
War was not just about attrition.
Because war gave wealth to the winners and punishment to the losers.
“Are you saying you won’t lose?”
“If I lose, I get four.”
Gold Rich muttered with a worried face in response to Jinhyuk’s answer, showing his will as if he would never lose.
“… … For 10 million gold, you can turn the world’s Cha Jin-hyuk into a dog. “Do I have to go through with it?”
“Tsk, this guy is also my friend.”
A golden opportunity to treat Jinhyuk like a dog with 10 million gold.
Jinhyeok frowned at the sight of Goldrich feeling confused about his identity, as he was in a position to minimize losses as a merchant and had always been like that.
It was absurd that Goldrich, one of his few friends, wanted so badly to treat him like a dog.
but.
“Think of it the other way around. “What would you think if you thought you could make me fly like a dog with 10 million gold?”
“… … “I have to go because I have a lot of work to do.”
It was the same for Jinhyuk.
He doesn’t shy away from any opportunity to bully, pick on, and treat his friends and his friends like slaves.
The closer I was to that friend, the more this aspect grew.
“Gold Rich.”
“what.”
“I think of you as a friend even if you are a dog.”
“Get the hell out of here.”
“Sure.”
After strengthening our friendship.
Jinhyeok tapped the darkness beneath the mountain of various materials piled up like a mountain with his toe.
“dark.”
-I will eat well~
Sigh!
A blink of an eye was enough for the black darkness to roll in like waves and swallow up all the supplies.
1 second.
Goldrich’s eyes shined like a miner who discovered a gold mine as he looked at the spot where the mountain of supplies had disappeared for perhaps a shorter period of time.
“… … Should I start a delivery business?”
“Is it okay?”

“Even if it’s not you, if you hire a dark spiritist as a courier… … .”
“I would have to contract with a dark spirit of at least high to highest level, but do you think you would work as a delivery worker?”
“… … Huh.”
Jinhyuk lightly disappeared into the darkness, leaving Goldrich with a clear look of regret.
Goldrich took a look at the spot where Jinhyuk, who had suddenly disappeared from the huge logistics warehouse, was before leaving.
“Jinhyuk! Long time no see… … ? “Oh, where have you gone?”
Halcion, who had been eagerly awaiting Jinhyeok’s visit, belatedly entered the warehouse, but there wasn’t a single speck of dust left behind.
Halcyon saw that and felt a sense of reverence.
“… … That much luggage in just a few minutes? Is it subspace? No, that can’t be true. “Isn’t it impossible to digest that much volume in just a small amount of space?”
Although subspace feels omnipotent, it is finite.
This is especially true the larger the space, to the point where it is doubtful whether a subspace large enough to contain such an enormous amount of material at once exists.
but-
“Oh, Jinhyuk said… … He devours several tons of materials with a single gesture… … “He is the true devil of devouring!”
Halcyon didn’t really care.
Since it’s Jinhyuk, I just believe that he somehow managed to get it.
Halcyon’s faithfulness to Jinhyeok only deepened.
Later, he was so faithful that he believed that Jinhyeok fed thousands of people with 5 loaves of rice cake and 2 fish. * * *
thud-!
“… … “Is there too much?”
“Don’t hold back; share it with as many people as possible. “All clothing and food, regardless of whether they are children or the elderly.”
Jinhyeok, who returned to the dark elf village, pulled out several tons of supplies from the great darkness, just as they had been swallowed.
When Elione sees the enormous supplies for the first time, she opens her mouth so much that her jaw drops in amazement.
Jinhyeok just handed over all the supplies and calmly told them to distribute them on their own.
“What about weapons?”
“You can take care of that yourself. If necessary, you can listen to it to children and the elderly. Support from a distance would be sufficient.”
However, the problem was the weapons.
It is okay to give away all clothing and groceries, but it is thought that giving them to young dark elves or even older elder-level people is called ‘Eva’ in slang.
“… … “Are you a dark elf?”
“Yes, because I’m a dark elf.”
However, with just one racial name, ‘Dark Elf’, both Elione and Jinhyeok had no choice but to nod.
A race of people whose only difference from elves is their skin color.
Their bow skills do not discriminate between men and women of all ages.
To add a little bit of exaggeration, I went so far as to say that even though a newborn baby can hold a bow, he possesses the archery skills of a graduate of Korea’s National University.
For elves and dark elves, bows and spirits felt like inseparable soul partners, and with enemies entering their home ground, it would not be a bad choice to hand out bows and arrows to the elderly and children.
“Okay, I’ll give it all away first. “The arrangement can be changed depending on the situation.”
“It’s a good choice.”
In the end, Elione decided to distribute high-quality bows and arrows to the dark elves, just like the previous foodstuffs.
Regardless of age or gender.
Jinhyeok threw something at Elione, who was grinning as she looked at the food, bows, and arrows being distributed by the Dark Elf Lieutenant and other Dark Elves.
“Take it.”
“… … what?”
“gift. Still, as the head of a clan, he cannot use the same ready-made product. “I have received a lot of inspiration from people I know.”
“… … “Thank you, I’ll use it well.”
A glossy black bow that looks good at first glance.
The demonstration, which has a slender body and turns black when exposed to light, is so secretive that it does not reveal itself even in the dark.
“If you infuse mana and magical energy, the tension of the demonstration will become stronger. Additionally, mana and magic energy will seep into the arrows. “It will be a powerful attack that can be used with appropriate adjustments.”
“… … Is it so good? “It’s so good that I have no idea how much gold I should give.”
“The price will be paid in victory.”
“… … Yes, I will definitely pay it.”
A demonstration made by combining the muscles of several monsters into a body made of hard demon steel.
Even the beauty of looking at a beautiful work of art.
It was such an attractive bow that it was no wonder Elione melted.
Jinhyuk, who grinned at Elione, who answered with a slightly red face that she would definitely pay the price, turned his head in the opposite direction.
“Hye-rin.”
“… … Do you have mine too?”
“I mainly used iron wires and small swords. The one you used is good, but it will be better because it was made by a good blacksmith.”
“… … Good. “It’s much better than the one made by the blacksmith belonging to the royal palace of Yuldo Kingdom.”
“You don’t have demon energy, so this item was made by smelting existing steel as much as possible. It’s ordinary, but it’s not ordinary because it’s touched by a craftsman’s touch. “It will be of great help.”
“that’s enough. Materials are just materials. “What matters is the result.”
“Now that you say that, I guess you guys will like it too.”
It was made of steel, but considering that the steel was cast and smelted by an artisan-level blacksmith, the materials were not ordinary.
And the weapons given to the two were unique grade weapons, located at the top in the order of normal – rare – epic – unique.
At this level, it would be a peerless treasure and divine sword even if it were made of tree branches instead of steel, so it was a natural reaction.
When Jinhyuk smiles happily while looking at the two women he likes.
Squeeze – Squeeze –
Jinhyuk lowered his head at the feeling of a small hand pulling him.
“avarice?”
“… … “Do you have anything of mine?”
Jinhyeok smiled as if he knew that would happen and put his hand inside the subspace coat as he saw Tam showing a deep desire for the fact that he did not receive the item that everyone else received, as expected from a child and as the name Tam.
“It’s Tanghulu. “I especially brought you Tanghulu apples, which you like.”
“… … Oh!”
As soon as he saw the Tanghulu apple coming out of his arms, he started jumping up and down with his eyes sparkling. When I handed the Tanghulu apple to Tam, Elione, Hye-rin, and Jin-hyuk smiled warmly as they watched him chewing it up quickly.
But even for a moment.
“The enemy is right around the corner. There’s no time to fool around. “Let’s start training to get used to the newly prepared weapon.”
“… … Phew, good. “I was given a good weapon, so I should definitely repay them.”
“I need to relax for the first time in a while.”
There was no time for them to rest as they knew that the elf army had already entered the dark forest.
A few days at most.
At most, we will have to face them within a week.
Therefore, the three of them continued their training with other dark elves, leaving Tam, who had lost interest in Tanghulu, behind. * * *
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
-Jinhyuk.
“… … Yes, I felt it too.”
Training time as always.
Of course, it was a hellish time for the dark elves, but there was nothing they could do to raise their senses while resting and hiding.
Fortunately, not only Jinhyuk, but also Elione and Hyerin came forward to guide the dark elves, so they were able to quickly raise their senses.
But that too ended today.
Hearing the voice of the black world tree urgently calling him, Jinhyeok nodded and looked in the direction from which the explosion was heard.
“That’s where the barrier was.”
-I had been wandering around in circles for a few days, feeling strange, and eventually found it. Now that the barrier has been breached, we will reach the village within a few hours.
“… … Yes, this time has finally come.”
With just a week left, the peace was broken.
The time that the Dark Elves evaluated as hell was prepared just for this moment, and Jinhyeok took a quick look at them, who were about to experience what hell really was, and put on the coat he had taken off for training.
“Get ready, get some rest. “I get attention.”
“Jinhyuk, that’s too dangerous-”
“Are you planning to have them go into war with physical exhaustion and mental strength deteriorated due to training?”
“… … “I’d rather go.”
Elione stopped Jinhyeok, who was trying to buy as much time as possible for the dark elves to recover their strength, and said she would step forward, but had to face Jinhyeok, who shook his head.
“You are the leader of the clan. In chess terms, it’s a king. “Is there a strategy for King to get into the middle of the enemy’s lines?”
“No… … .”
“Chess is essentially a game in which the person who uses the queen well wins. Think of me as the queen. “Queen will destroy the enemy’s pieces and survive under any circumstances.”
“… … huh.”
It felt like something had slightly changed, but the situation was too urgent to just argue about who was king or queen.
In the end, while Elione changed her mind and repaired the tired dark elves, Queen Jinhyeok picked up a fox mask from among the masks around her neck.
“It’s queen time.”
Taking time.
Or reconnaissance.
However, the queen’s scouting is different from the scouting of the rook, knight, and bishop.
“It would be enough to destroy about a third of them and throw a third into chaos.”
One transcendent dominates the battlefield.
Jinhyuk, who had already felt this painfully as he climbed the tower from his past life to his current life, decided to become a transcendent person.
Soon, the Queen, enveloped in darkness, disappeared.
To stick a dagger in the head of the enemy king.
To shout checkmate.
And so the war between elves and dark elves began.
