Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 453
453Hwa Barbarian Revolution (2)
Namely, the sacred site redevelopment plan..
Even though I hadn't even sold the first piece of land yet, I was already confident that this plan would succeed..
That’s because purchase inquiries were already coming in..
‘There is no need to promote it, and word will soon spread throughout the tribe.…….’
Okay, so now all that's left is to sell it??
“I… Bjorn?”
“He is the tribal leader.”
“Anyway, tribal leader! Why don't you sell the land right away? There are so many warriors willing to buy it.?”
The reason is simple.
“Even if there is a lot, isn't it far too short compared to the available land area?.”
“So, shouldn’t we sell it quickly from now on?!”
I'm glad that Einar won the merchant's heart, but unfortunately, I only knew one thing and didn't know the other..
How many will you buy if you sell it now??
Since no money will be collected, the amount that will lead to actual sales will be even smaller..
therefore…….
“If there is a warrior who wants to buy the land, tell him to come back on the 5th of next month. I will sell it from then on.”
Sales start date is the 5th of next month.
When the barbarians have just come out of the labyrinth, when they have the most money. I plan to decide how much land I will sell based on how many people flock to it..
100If more than 30 people come, I think 30 people would be appropriate.?
However, when Einar heard those words, he just kept tilting his head..
“huh? You don't sell to everyone? Why??”
I kindly explained it as if I was training an elder..
“First, we cannot sell that much because we do not have manpower capable of administrative work..”
“oh……?”
“Second, if you sell it that way, it will never be expensive..”
This is a time when the concept of real estate has not yet been properly established in the minds of warriors..
thus…….
“…Isn't it expensive? What does that mean??”
“Think about it. 30 people bought land that 100 people wanted. So what do you think about the rest that you couldn’t buy??”
“…I'll wait for the next one?”
“Of course, there will be such warriors, but there will definitely be those who will pay more for the buyer's land..”
“hmm! I definitely think so! There are warriors who don't have money now, but will have money later.…….”
Hey, it definitely gave me a head start..
I continued speaking while inwardly admiring.
In fact, this was the core of the redevelopment plan..
“Anyway, the land sold that way will be more expensive than we paid for it. The reason why weapons are so popular is because they take a long time to order and are expensive.?”
“oh! Then, the warrior who first sold the land sits back and makes money.?”
Einar finally reached the truth.
“Yes, that's what's important. The news that you made a lot of money in one sitting will immediately be passed on to other warriors..”
Descendants who will pass on the land? The value of land? Being able to save on monthly rent?
In the end, that's just an excuse.
The important thing is the firm belief that buying land will bring benefits..
Soon Einar muttered in a trembling voice..
“Warriors... It's going to be like crazy. Even the warriors turned a blind eye, asking if there was any reason to buy the land.…….”
“Yes, I packed up my hard-earned money. Because you can make money just by buying.”
It's a kind of money copying bug..
Wasn’t it like that during the backpack revolution that started with Charon? Despite the honor of warriors and all, barbarians also like money..
and…….
‘In the beginning, it would be better to select a few people and sell them by lottery rather than auction..’
I have no intention of stopping this money copying bug..
Even if the bubble bursts later and the original value is revealed, this is the most efficient way to grow the tribe in a short period of time..
‘………It would be okay if they just stopped people from doing things like mortgage loans. At that time, there will be other sources of income besides this..’
Actually, I was more worried about the near future than the distant future..
Isn't the 'Barbarian' who created the concept of real estate also alien?.
It will definitely stand out.
But still I made a decision.
‘Now, it doesn't make any difference just because it stands out a little more, it's right to grow the tribe first..’
We are not even the first in real estate..
Dwarves and beastmen have already revitalized the economy by selling most of the land in the Holy Land. So, most people would think that I imitated another race..
‘after… Then I'll have to look into the office staff first..’
There was a lot of work to be done to get the young warriors into their shoes..
***
The day real estate was first introduced to the warriors.
I roughly finished work around lunchtime and came into the city..
And we had a meeting right away..
“A long time. Shavin Emoor.”
They said he was unemployed and he was at home as expected..
“…uh? Rain, Bjorn……?”
Although he was surprised to see me come to his house without making an appointment, Shavin Emoor was happy and let me in..
“sorry. Actually, I was planning to come here a long time ago. There are so many busy things to do.”
“no! I'm sorry. actually… I didn't know you would come visit me like this…….”
“I have to come visit. My name is a friend.”
“ah…….”
“Besides, I have one suggestion to make. No, should I say please??”
Even though Shavin's eyes were touched by the words 'friend', he looked nervous as the words continued..
“Asking for a favor……?”
“I heard you lost your job. Can you help me??”
“……?”
“Or you can recommend people you know. I need someone who can do administrative work. People who are as trustworthy as possible.”
“……It seems like you came because you really need someone in that type of job..”
“Because the first person that came to mind was you. Well, I don't know anyone here, do I? In times like these, you should look to your friends..”
Shavin seemed to think about my naturally virtuous words for a moment and then readily agreed..
“great. If only they gave me as much as I received at my previous job. I'll take me and a few suitable people with me..”
“How much did you receive from the administrative office??”
In response to my question, Shavin carefully told me his previous salary, and since it was lower than expected, he ended the salary negotiation by raising it a little more..
“But is it surprising? I didn't know you would agree like this.”
“that is… I was already in the process of looking for a job..”
“okay? thank god. She was worried because when Ragna made her offer, she said no and she said no..”
“I feel like Bjorn really needs me. Unlike that kid who only wanted to help me.”
“You said you didn't want to incur debt between friends..”
“……Hehe, you could say that too. But have you already met that child??”
“Then how did you find out about this place? Oh, of course, my meeting with Ragnar is a secret from the outside world..”
“It's a secret... So, I can clearly see that it is a world of nobles.…….”
Shavin made an exclamation with pure eyes and asked if I would like him to bring me something to drink. Afterwards, we chatted for about an hour while drinking tea..
and…….
“Let’s go quickly. I have a lot of things to do before exploring..”
“yes Then, I will make suggestions to the people I work with until the day after tomorrow, and then I will go to work on my own. Oh, where should I go??”
“Three days later, I'll come here in the morning.”
“uh? Picking you up? I appreciate it, but you don't need it.…….”
There's no need for that.
Humans cannot even enter our sacred grounds without permission. I plan to take him there that day and make everything, including passes, for him..
“Anyway, I'll see you then..”
“Yes, please enter carefully..”
After leaving Shavin Emoor's house, I went straight to the dwarf's blacksmith shop. I didn't make an appointment with him in advance this time either, but luckily there was no problem meeting the dwarf..
“Bjorn! What's going on here??”
I thought you would be working today too.
“I had to repair some equipment, so I thought I'd show you the thing I talked about a few days ago..”
“Right. First, give me the equipment. Shouldn't all repairs be completed before the expedition?.”
“yes.”
After depositing the damaged equipment from the fight with the tribe leader and waiting in the hall for a while, the dwarf guided me to the attic on the second floor..
“This is the place I usually use to place orders or do administrative work… … . This might be a bit uncomfortable for you..”
“Okay. All you have to do is crawl.”
“But not to that extent.…….”
“So please understand what I'm saying while lying down..”
The highest floor height at the center was not over 1.5m, so I just lay down on the floor, and the dwarf sighed and sat down on the dwarf sofa..
“So the thing is?”
“Ah, here it is.”
When I took out a chest from subspace, the dwarf swallowed his saliva and started to feel it..
“Where on earth did you get this stuff??”
“It's better not to know.”
“……Yeah, right? I made a mistake.”
The dwarf, who was examining the Noark explorer's equipment one by one, swallowed his saliva with trembling eyes..
Expectations seemed greater than anxiety and tension..
Well, it's not just any other profession, it's a blacksmith background, isn't it?.
As the attic is filled with equipment of at least level 3 materials as well as number items, I can't help but widen my eyes..
Even as written a few days ago, wouldn't a whopping 5% fall to one's share?.
“It may take some time, so I hope you dispose of it as quietly as possible..”
“Ah oh… I guess so. That's how it should be…….”
My eyes are so blurred that I can't even hear with my ears.?
Thinking it was the right time, I took out the remaining chests..
“Oh, was there more to it than this??!”
“I don't plan on selling this but replacing it with new equipment. First of all, I want to make the dagger out of gold bars and cut the leather into fabric..”
“It's not difficult. But what is it??”
The dwarf showed curiosity and opened a new chest..
and…….
“…Even if it's ogre skin, this... Mystium? It is said that 90% of what is on the market is delivered to the royal family. Where on earth did you get this precious stuff??”
Oh, that.
“Take a good look.”
“…huh?”
As I lay down and clicked my fingers, the dwarf looked at the mystium dagger again in detail, realized its source, and let out a scream..
“This, this, this, this, this, this……!!!”
“Speak quietly. Who will listen?.”
“…………Isn’t this the equipment of the Rose Knights?!!”
The guy who made the noise as low as possible quickly put the dagger and armor back in the chest, wondering if anyone would see..
“Rain, Bjorn! Man, this is crazy. I don’t know where I got it, but… Well, it's really dangerous.……!”
Sincere advice filled with trembling.
However, I answered indifferently..
“Wasn’t it expected that there would be stolen property??”
“That said, I didn't know there was something related to the royal family.!”
“So you won't do it??”
When I asked him directly, he couldn't answer..
“Uh, uh……”
I just mumble and look around at the equipment..
Lingering overflowed from my eyes..
“If you refuse, forget everything you saw today. I just burned the contract I wrote a few days ago..”
As I said that and stretched out my hand to the chest, the dwarf suddenly hit my arm..
“……I didn't say I wouldn't do it.”
“Hmm? They said it was crazy earlier?”
“That thought still remains the same... … . All you have to do is not get caught, right?!”
The dwarf was also a good business partner..
***
July 28, 157.
In other words, that time when there were only two days left until the next labyrinth opened. A truly busy month is coming to an end..
But still, I still had work to do..
“You came!”
As soon as morning came, I went to meet Shavin Emoor at his house..
Well, today is his first day at work..
I thought she was alone, but there were three other men and women in Shavin's house besides her..
“These are?”
“This is a colleague I worked with at the administrative office. You said you wish there were more people.?”
“Uh, about that… … . So quickly?”
“When our secretary lost the election for commissioner, our entire faction had to take off their clothes..”
Hmm, I never thought something like that would happen.
“Still, I managed to save three people in that time..”
“It wasn't that difficult. It's the clan of the giant of the labyrinth, Baron Yandel, right? Everyone wanted a chance.?”
“…clan?”
I felt something was off, but I couldn't inquire deeply because the people Shavin brought were greeting me..
“Ah, hello! Baron Yandel! My name is Rick Anderson and I worked in the civil engineering department of the administrative office..”
“This is Mary Jaina… … . I worked in the same civil support department as Mr. Emure..”
“This is Shepherd Ramden. It's an honor to meet you.”
First of all, fortunately, there was no Hans among the three..
“This is Bjorn, Yandel's son. Best wishes in the future.”
After briefly introducing myself, the rest of us got on the carriage on the platform and chatted as we moved..
“Wow… This is my first time riding in the noble compartment..”
“I am… I didn't even know there was a separate noble compartment on the platform..”
“Well, that's probably true. Because commoners are not allowed to use it at all..”
“…It's so convenient that it's always on standby and takes you straight to your desired destination..”
“Hehe, you too can enjoy it if you become a noble like me..”
“Hey, just kidding… how do we…….”
Quite a friendly atmosphere.
“Anderson. You said you worked in the civil engineering department.?”
“yes! Yes, Baron.!”
“What exactly did you do there??”
I asked various things to the administrators I met for the first time, and sometimes I continued the conversation by answering their questions..
And how long has it passed?.
“however… … . The carriage is going to the outskirts.?”
Shavin Emour looked out the window and asked a question..
“I think the clan house is on the side of the castle wall.?”
“Clan house? What on earth are you talking about??”
“……yes? I heard you created a new clan this time? There was no need for an office job there.……?”
Only then did I realize where our conversation had gone astray..
‘For some reason, they didn't ask me about my work..’
I quickly corrected the misunderstanding..
“Shavin Emoor, the clan is not where you work..”
“yes? Then where is it?……?”
“Barbarian's Holy Land.”
“……………yes?”
Shavin Emoor tilted his head as if he had heard wrong, and just then the carriage arrived at its destination and stopped..
“Get off first.”
As soon as I open the door and go out, the administrators follow me with puzzled expressions..
“…….”
They were speechless as they looked up at the castle wall in front of them..
Well, it's unlikely they'll ever come this far..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
Soon, I gave a loud battle cry and confirmed, and the door opened, and I led those who were standing there in a daze and entered the sanctuary..
Warriors found me everywhere and greeted me..
“human! It's human! The tribal leader brought a human!”
“Oh oh oh oh oh!!”
“There are two men and two women!!”
The administrators clumped up behind me, trembling as if they had entered a den of cannibals..
“…….”
“…….”
It was when they passed the long forest path and arrived at the tribal leader's tent that they came to their senses. One of the administrators brought by Shavin swallowed his saliva and asked me:.
“Well, so… What do we do now??”
His name is Rick Anderson..
Grade 6 administrative officer working in the Civil Engineering Department of the Administrative Office.
A man who might be the ace in this redevelopment plan..
I looked at him and answered briefly..
“Any task that uses numbers.”
Of course, digging the ground is also included..
