Episode 75. ask for help
“Wow!”
“Gwae, are you okay?”
“iced coffee… . “My stomach, my stomach hurts so much.”
“Someone give me something to drink…” … .”
“hey. “Please come to your senses.”
It was spectacular. Half-conscious bodies were hanging between the thick bushes. He clutched his stomach and made only a groaning sound. Sue ran around and helped take care of the patients.
“When are the doctors coming?”
“Okay. Well, that’s right. Since you went empty-handed, you probably won’t arrive by tomorrow? “As long as you don’t get lost.”
Sue pricked up her ears and overheard people talking. If the doctor arrives tomorrow, we will be treated and then move forward again. It will definitely be slower due to the loss of power, but it will reach Merelov anyway.
‘Hmm.’
Sue muttered as she looked at the ridge extending down the mountain.
“Is Merelov near here, or the Kingdom of Hawan?”
Then the man, who was in a cold sweat, answered. It seemed like he was talking for no reason in an attempt to forget the pain.
“We just left, so Hawan is close.”
“And the road on the Merelov side continues to be rough, but wasn’t the Hawan side mostly flat? “Until you enter the mountain.”
“If you do that, the Hawan Kingdom doctor will arrive first.”
“But there are a lot of quacks there, so I don’t trust them.”
“Aren’t there a lot of gypsies? Still, since this is a kingdom, is it really necessary to kill innocent people?”
“ah… . I want to go back. “Rather than lying down in the mountains covered in dew, I think I should lie in bed and rest for a few days to get better.”
Everyone lamented and let out a weary breath. Regardless, Sue walked over to the boiling water jar and pretended to put firewood in it. Then, after taking a look around, he dabbed out the yellow scorpion’s venom.
‘To the point where I won’t die. Instead, it will be a bit painful, to the point where you will feel dizzy. It’s a pity, but… I can’t help it.’
The yellow scorpion’s venom also contained ingredients that caused stomach pain. A fatal dose would result in death, but since we all share the water in that huge jar, it shouldn’t be a problem.
“hey. “Give me some warm water.”
“yes. wait a minute. “I’ll give it to you cold.”
At someone’s request, Sue smiled brightly and looked back. Then, he walked among the patients again, creating an atmosphere as if an angel in white had materialized.
“Are you a trusted woman? “I’m glad the author is okay.”
“therefore. “It’s like this because there was someone who didn’t eat dinner that night, otherwise we would all have died.”
Sue wiped her sweat and laughed haha.
‘Fuck it, if I really go back, I’ll never, ever come out of the desert again.’
It was a little different on the outside and the inside, but anyway, I was doing my duty faithfully.
Now, when doctors come from Hawan Kingdom, all you have to do is subtly instigate them and force them to go back there.
“hey. for a moment.”
As she was about to fetch water, someone grabbed her wrist. It was a man called the vice-captain of the top. He took Su’s hand away and immediately started touching the creatures.
“W-what… … .”
It was so absurd that I couldn’t stop swearing. She frowned as if she knew she would do it or not.
“Your hands are unusual?”
“what? “My hands aren’t that big!”
“It’s not that, there are calluses on the back and bottom of my hands. “These are mainly people who use their fists.”
At those words, Sue stopped panicking and glared at the man. The vice-captain glanced at the inside pocket of his suit and gave a low warning.
“When you say something nice, take out what you just put in your pocket.”
“You have nothing to do? “They steal what I do.”
It is in the back where the view is blocked by one cart. If you make a loud noise, it will definitely reach people. Sue muttered, clenching her molars.
“You’re making the person who served earlier feel bad.”
His smiling face is unusual. The vice-captain pulled a dagger from his belt and tried to threaten him.
“… “Fuck, what are you doing?”
Pow!
Immediately afterwards, Sue’s fist flew in. He passed out with his mouth wide open as if he had penetrated it properly. At that time, several people came around to the cart, clutching their sore stomachs.
“What’s going on?”
“I just heard something breaking… … .”
“no… … .”
People just blinked as they looked at the vice-captain and Sue who were lying around. It seems like he doesn’t understand the situation.
It was then.
Sasasak!
A noise was heard beyond the bushes, and a person jumped out. A group of unfamiliar people wearing hoods and gasping for breath. The traces of wandering through the forest for a long time were clear.
“… what? “What’s going on, everyone?”
“Where is this again? shit!”
An unfamiliar woman slightly lifting her hood. She suddenly screamed as Sue came to a halt.
“Ahhhh! “He’s a thief!”
“what? thief?”
“shit! “Get your weapons!”
“No, wait a minute. Hey guys!”
Due to the noise of the people, the upper guards stumbled and grabbed their swords. Standing was precarious, but there was nothing I could do in the face of the thieves’ threat.
The woman who appeared from the bushes stepped back with a dumbfounded expression.
“hey. What a thief. “I’m investigating the imperial palace-”
Their identity is a central investigation group wandering around looking for the bodies of Mary and Chell. Sue, who recognized Erica’s face, struck first. At the same time, the firewood was extinguished simply by spilling water.
Shhh!
visor! Cheaeng!

“Ugh! Kill it! “Kill me!”
“What, what? shit!”
“Where’s the fire? fire! “Build a fire!”
A battle took place in the mountains in the darkness. Without regard to who went first, their swords were aimed at each other. Sue quickly climbed up a tree and watched the blood splatter.
‘Half dead and half running away, um. Whether it’s Hawan or Merelov, everything will be sorted out before the doctor comes?’
Moreover, the rumor that a thief had appeared could be spread without much effort, which was the icing on the cake. Sue stroked his own head, admiring his own quickness. I think I can go back to the desert as early as tomorrow.
* * *
“no… … .”
Count Merelov was speechless. Even if it is unexpected, how can it be this unexpected?
The doctors who returned a week later brought only three patients with them. Even if I looked hard, I couldn’t see the huge and majestic procession that the Merelov Territory residents were waiting for.
The Count looked around with a bewildered expression.
“What about the others?”
“Count. Well, it looks like there is a thief.”
“What kind of bullshit is that!”
“When we arrived following the guide, we had already been attacked and corpses were lying around. Fortunately, we were able to find survivors as we advanced towards the Kingdom of Hawan, but they were suddenly attacked and everyone was scattered.”
“So, so?”
“During the commotion, the owner of Sangsan was particularly injured and returned to Hawan Kingdom. That’s because it’s closer. “We returned with only the survivors we trusted.”
The problem was that the top location was closer to the lower arm. Besides, since this is the way we came, the geography should be familiar.
Merelov is the ‘outskirts’ of Bariel, but the Kingdom of Hawan is a huge city in itself, so it was judged to be a suitable place to control the top.
“Kaaaaak!”
Count Merelov shouted without even realizing it. He’s a very skinny guy who doesn’t usually make a lot of noise, but in this case, it was very fatal.
“Holy shit! shit! So why don’t you just eat the porridge! “You idiots!”
Sigh!
Merelov threw the junk on the table in frustration. The doctors who returned from a week of penance walked back in profuse cold sweat. They were the ones who knew Merelov’s situation better than anyone else. The residents of the territory are going to start sucking their fingers soon, and there is nothing to eat or eat in the territory.
“Well then, that’s enough.”
“Excuse me. “Count.”
Quang!
The doctors rushed out of the room without any question about whether you came first or me first. Merelov fell into silence, holding his forehead.
“… butler.”
“yes. “Count.”
“How much did you say Sheyron’s market price is?”
Sheyron was a city northwest of Merelov. Unlike Merelov, which makes a living through trade on the border, it has clearly prospered and emerged as a commercial center.
But the problem is… … .
“A few days ago, I received information that a sack of wheat was being traded for six silver coins.”
The difference in relative economic power is too large. After all, Merelov was a periphery, and Sheyron was the second most prosperous metropolis after the center of Bariel.
In Merelov, a sack of wheat could be purchased for three silver coins, but in Sheiron, it could only be purchased for twice as much. This was a few days ago, so I don’t know what happened now that the situation has become more difficult due to rumors of bandits.
“What if we leave now?”
“I think it will take about five days.”
It’s because of the mountain range that the caravan came through. The mountain range surrounds Merelov and extends to the northwest, and although it is good at defending the territory, getting there is a difficult price to pay. It only takes 15 days to get from here to the center… … .
“I can’t help it. “I’m sending someone.”
“How much should we budget?”
“Accept applications from those who need supplies. “Once the list is selected, a trade group will be formed from there.”
Of course, just because it is supplied does not mean it is free.
If the number of people in a territory decreases, it will have a big impact on the territory in the long run. Because each head is like a productive force. The common method was to first help people avoid starvation, and then raise taxes as harvest time approached.
“Hey, Count.”
“what?”
The Count rolled his eyes and asked in annoyance.
“Even if you get to Sheyron, getting back is the problem. The temperature there is lower than here, so it will snow sooner. “I think it would be too much to cross a snow-covered canyon carrying that much luggage.”
“so? “What do you want to say?”
Even the experienced caravan suffered from unexpected food poisoning and bandits and was destroyed. Moreover, it was unclear whether the residents born and raised here would be able to successfully perform the penance.
“How about asking Bratz for help?”
“what?”
“It is correct to say that the road to Hawan Kingdom will be closed for the time being due to the infestation of bandits. “Until there was a rumor that the kingdom had cleared it out.”
“Hey, butler. I know that too. So, aren’t you saying we should go to Sheyron?”
“It is said that Bratz develops and uses gula as food. They say it fills you up well and gives you satisfaction even with a small amount, so I hurried to get some… … .”
The butler could not finish his sentence. This was because he faced Count Merelov’s murderous gaze. There was a clear warning that if you said one more word, you would be fired.
“Pay money to buy weeds?”
“… The price will also be cheap.”
“That’s it. Well, I thought you were wise, but you turned out to be nothing but chaff. “How can we put something on the table that even dogs and pigs don’t eat?”
“Excuse me.”
“Find out Sheyron’s price right now.”
The butler hung his head and walked out the door. If you think about it, Count Merelov’s actions were not completely incomprehensible. However, the situation turns out to be more serious than expected.
Squeak.
‘… ‘I can’t help it.’
This time too, if the owner does not do it, the butler has no choice but to step forward.
He went back to his room and took out some parchment and a pen nib. And after thinking for a while, he pressed his pen and wrote.
