I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 30
unpredictable
A few hours before contact.
'The first prince of the empire... … .'
The man in blue was thinking about an upcoming contact today.
'If he secretly raised another guild at a young age and tried to create his own power, he must be an ordinary person, right?'
In fact, recently, the reputation of the first prince had risen considerably within the empire.
'But it probably didn't work out the way we wanted.'
The amount he exchanged with the prince was half and half, no matter how much he calculated the profit or loss.
What the prince wants is to take away the share of the Ryan Merchant, while expanding his base in the northern part of the empire.
So far, neither side has owed much to the other.
It is certain that he is a formidable character. But this time, he is absolutely confident that he will get what he wants.
However, the moment he heard the prince's first words, the man had no choice but to admit that his thoughts were wrong.
“I am also honored to see the people of the Jegal family, the four great warriors of the famous King of Manbyeong!”
“… … !?”
At that moment, the man barely endured the wavering of his unsteadiness, which he had cultivated for ten years.
'How can this prince know who they are behind?'
Even in the Hwan across the sea, the only forces that can be sure that they are behind the Blue Dragon Merchant are groups with power comparable to their home.
“It is an honor to know of our base in the East. After all, His Highness the Prince is not an ordinary person.”
If it was to the extent that he responded back as if he had seen his own words, he must have come with his own convictions.
'There's no point in hiding it.'
The man feigned composure and sat down with Julius.
“As I said to Mareus-sama, I am Jegalgeon, who is in charge of the Blue Dragon Merchant. It is an honor to meet the first prince once again.”
'Look at this?'
Julius also spoke calmly, but was not a little embarrassed. The reason was the opponent's stats.
'Stat window!'

Breath of the Blue Dragon - One of the player's legacy. When mastered, it receives additional corrections to wits and force according to the user's proficiency. The unique ability according to the player's heritage must be learned before you can read it.
“Titling!”
[You have discovered the player's legacy.]
[New topic added to Help. Added: Lee Qingmun]
[Collecting Legacy will increase your achievement.]
'I roughly expected the contents of the King of Pandemic.'
Of course, Julius was not taken aback by the heritage itself because he knew right away that this Blue Dragon Merchant was the place where King Manbyeong's military gate was connected.
What surprised him was the stats of a man named Jegalgeon, who called himself the head of the blue dragon.
'You're not a superman. However, in terms of pure combat ability, it wouldn't be an unmanned soldier with such a difference.'
A few months ago, while training with Duke Dios, the contents of the conversation flashed through his mind.
“That means that there are many strong people even if they are not warriors who have reached the level of superhuman.”
"That's right."
Is it because of inheriting the player's legacy? This man named Zhuge Geon had no chance to see his skills properly in his previous life, but he was a martial artist of a great level.
'This person must have been dispatched to the continent.'
It was said that perhaps there could be more warriors like this in the Hwan Empire, where this man's home was located. If people who aren't even the top officers are at this level, there might even be superhuman-level unmanned people.
'It would be difficult to bring Lee Chung-moon's legacy unless there are certain conditions. It seems almost impossible to take it by force.'
The reason why Julius tried to make contact with the Blue Dragon Merchant Corps was, first of all, the legacy of the player. It was because the only place he could know the source for sure was the top of the Blue Dragon.
The second was a plan he had made before obtaining the heritage quest, and he planned to grow the Blue Dragon Merchant in the north and make it his reliable business partner and source of funds.
'Because it's worth the bottom line, I'll have to talk about it first.'
“I know that all of the transactions I made with the Blue Dragon Merchant Company were accomplished beyond expectations. I hope to have a good relationship in the future.”
“It is overrated. Thanks to the grace of Her Highness, the head family also benefited a lot.”
'Seeing that Jegalgeon said that he was the original family, it seems that he was willing to negotiate properly.'
This is no different from a declaration that from now on, it is not a negotiation with the Blue Dragon Merchant, but a transaction with Jegal Sega, one of the four great warriors in the circle.
Julius felt that the liver was over.
'Stop the clumsy search now!'
“I heard that the Blue Dragon Merchant wanted me to sit at this table for several years. Do you know why?”
Julius asked directly.
'There is no more vigilance.'
Jegalgeon also got to the point while nervous inside.
“In fact, the family has been planning to move their base to the West Continent recently.”
“Hoo.”
'This is the same as in the previous life.'
The reason why he had a relationship with the Blue Dragon Merchant is also a big reason.
The Blue Dragon Merchant has reliably moved the family base to the North, and the emperor himself receives their help and financial support on behalf of the Lion Merchant.
He didn't know why each of the four great clans inheriting the player's legacy was trying to bring over the entire foundation built over a hundred years from another continent, but in any case, he failed in his previous life without hearing the reason.
'Should I try stabbing him?'
“Can you tell me why?”
"sorry. It's a tough job in my own right... … .”
'Aren't they teaching me too?'
But now, that doesn't matter too much.
“Good. Anyway, that's it, so do you need something this side?”
“There is no particular demand from us.”
There was strong confidence in Zhugejian's tone when he said this.
'Anyway, without the help of the prince, the Blue Dragon Merchant can exercise influence in the north.'
“Then, I want to confirm that we have a strong relationship like we do now, so I guess you had to call me.”
“For that reason, I apologize for daring to wish to see the Imperial Prince.”
Julius laughed inwardly.
'So, we'll do our best now, so don't get in the way? And if you apply, I'll give you a corresponding reward. That's it?'
Thanks to Julius' early timing of the northern road construction in this lifetime, they already had a decent foothold. I feel confident that I don't have to ask for his help anymore.
'But this side wants a lot from that side?'
"It doesn't matter, but there are quite a lot of things I want to ask for from the top of the blue dragon."
“The prince gave great favor to the family. Please tell me anything.”
He says it, but of course he has no intention of doing so.
'I don't know what you want, but if the conditions are absurd, there will be no soup.'
“First of all, you should know that our empire is focusing on northern development these days.”
Julius took out the trump card he was thinking of.
“I will transfer a significant portion of the profits from the northern development to them. That's my deal.”
“When you say development, I don’t know what you mean specifically.”
Jegalgeon asks curiously.
Road works are almost complete.
Cities will gradually enter the north, and the movement of logistics will become active. Even if the prince didn't mention it, wasn't that a project they were also preparing?
“This is confidential.”
Hearing what Julius said, he put on a surprised expression for the first time.
“Are you sure it exists in the northern mountains?”
“Of course. I can't prove it, but the truth will come out sooner or later when the northern development begins.”
"her… … .”
Jegalgeon was troubled.
If the conditions presented by the prince were true, the number of transactions was beyond his imagination. It's not something that can be solved by his authority alone.
Then, suddenly, he's lost in doubt. With these conditions set, what did the first prince want?
“It is a story that has nothing bad for us. However, since the work is so big, I think you need to give it some time.”
Jegalgeon also asks questions.
“May I ask what favors you would like to ask?”
Julius grins.
'It's real from now on.'
“What I want is the 'untitled treasure' that your family has.”
Clink!
A teacup falls from his hand and makes a loud noise.
For the first time, the composure disappeared from Jegalgeon's face.
“Supra Lord!”
At that time, for the first time, a woman standing behind him comes to him and cleans up the broken teacup.
"hmm… … . I excused myself for a moment.”
Only then did Jegalgeon come to his senses and look at Julius without hiding his suspicious eyes.
'Untitled sad news.' This spoke of the legacy of the legendary warrior Lee Cheong-mun, who was called the King of Manbyeong in the West and the King of Manbyeong in the East.
So, it is a call to present the legacy of their family left by Emperor Mu.
"Prince, no matter how big this deal is, it's the same as saying to give the main family's money."
“Ah, I must have said something wrong.”
Julius deftly corrected his words.
"I'm not asking you to give me the legacy of the King of Players."
“… … !?”
What nonsense is this again?
After Zhuge Geon is silent for a moment, Julius resumes his speech.
“I have always been interested in the actions of my ancestors, the Players. I am also doing my own research.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Okay, when the deal is done, all you have to do is lend me the treasure for a while. It doesn't mean I'm taking it.”
Julius puts on an expression that is deliberately hurt.
“Even if I was a prince, did I look like a thief? There are many prestigious martial arts on this continent as well. I know that such a request would be unreasonable to give away the whole secret weapon of a samurai family.”
Even after saying that, Jegalgeon looks at him with suspicion.
“… … .”
“Do you think the conditions are too small or suspicious?”
Julius drives the wedge again.
“Well then, it is good to see it in your presence. As far as I know, I have heard that in the East, the secret skill of a shaman is transmitted in the form of secret knowledge.”
“The prince's request was well received. But we also need time to think. There… … .”
"You'll also need to check if the conditions I laid out in the first place are true."
Julius cut off his words and slowly rose from his seat.
“Anyway, I plan to stay in the North for at least a few years because of Northern development. You can reach me at any time.”
As if he had nothing more to say, he turned around and finished the story.
“I will guarantee that you ask for a lot of cooperation in the future in my name.”
Zhuge Geon stood up and hurriedly lowered his head.
“As for the terms of the transaction, I will contact the family and think about it.”
"ah! and."
Julius leaves the room with the last words.
“Next time, bring in the real top liquor. To be honest, it's pretty distasteful that someone who isn't even the top manager is constantly appointed as a deputy.”
Jegalgeon had no choice but to stand there as if he was bewildered for a moment.
'Could it be that he noticed not only the background of the parent family, but also that?'
'Yeah, I've met the real Sanghwangju, so of course I know. This is my friend.'
Julius laughs inwardly and happily leaves the building.
shortly after he left
“Gun, you know that you made a lot of mistakes today, not like you, right?”
“I have no face. miss."
The target of Jegalgeon, who claimed to be Sangsanju, was bowing his head to a young woman who seemed to be a court lady who had been standing behind him from the beginning.
She is the true head of the Blue Dragon Merchant.
“But I won’t hold you accountable. It would have been hard for me to keep my composure about today’s content.”
“Thank you for forgiving me.”
She rests her chin in thought.
“Imperial first prince Julius… … .”
