Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 657
Chapter 657: Outsider (1)
I felt it during my last time travel…
Knowing the future that cannot be changed is close to a curse…
But…
“Does that mean something will happen a year from now?”
“Yes, it will happen… A very fun and big event…”
Still, there is something to think positively about.
Assuming what Lee Baek-ho said is true, doesn’t this mean that we can live safely for a year?
“I have no intention of telling you what kind of event it is.” “That’s it?”
“Brother, if you know in advance, it’s not an event…”
“Then tell me at least this… If that event happens, will District 7 be destroyed again…?”
“Well, that won’t happen, right…? The event I was talking about was not that type…”
It was good news when I heard it.
It was a very important item for me, who plans to expand my real estate business in the future. I thought,
“But… if it’s not that type, what are you talking about?”
As I was quietly thinking about it alone, Baekho Lee made an expression of regret.
“Oh, did I give you too many hints?”
It’s a shame to give too many hints…
I don’t even get it…
“Anyway, I’ve said everything I need to say now, you know… right?”
No?
“···what?”
The moment I tilted my head, Lee Baek-ho disappeared before my eyes…
“Poof…”
Ha… I really need to get stronger quickly…
***
A few days after returning from the Marquis, the rebuilding of District 7 began in earnest…
We The tribe’s proud labor warrior,
an adult male from Biffron,
and architectural experts sent by various families belonging to Melves, led by Count Goldbeard,
all worked together to begin the demolition work and immediately start from the place where the demolition was completed. The construction
was carried out very fast as tens of thousands of people entered the construction, but the speed was better than the modern construction
site
.
There is no heavy equipment, but magic exists.
Also, it is not like building a high-rise building with a complicated design, and above all, the specifications of the workers are on a different level.
“Wait a minute! “If you do that, you run the risk of hurting your back!”
“huh?”
“···It’s surprising even if you look at it. Isn’t it heavy?”
“This isn’t even enough exercise!”
Since the processes that require mobilizing equipment were done with bare hands, there is no reason to lag behind Hyundai in terms of construction speed…
“Baron Teylan said he would sell the entire 7-2 commercial district if the price was a little more. ·”
“Handing over the entire commercial district? Buy it now…”
While carrying out the construction work, he purchased the land in District 7 at a low price from the nobles that Hoeju’s grandfather had brokered…
And…
“7-2 commercial district? “We weren’t planning on working on that until much later, right?”
“The plan has been changed. Baron Yandel’s instructions.”
Of course, demolition and reconstruction work began immediately on the land that was purchased.
Shouldn’t we quickly build a house to find tenants to rent it out and use the money to buy another land? ·
“This is the house I will stay in for two years…!”
“It’s small, but it has everything you need!”
“I feel uneasy about Bifron being next to me, but I have no choice… Housing prices have risen so much in other areas…”
Contrary to my anxiety, it wasn’t that difficult to find a renter. By splitting it into studio apartments, dozens of people can live in one building. Since they were living in the area,
it was inevitable that the burden would be small…
Even the fact that banks approved loans at low interest rates and existing residents of District 7 received housing funds from the royal family was a positive sign for the business.
“This is a population of this size.” My judgment is that if it is crowded, it will not go bankrupt
even if you open a store…” In addition, as more residents moved in, merchants also became interested, creating a virtuous cycle, and business expanded smoothly.
Of course, there were no problems in the process. But…
“Kuhm… I’m sorry, but please forget what I said before about selling it…”
As District 7 was quickly normalizing, there were many cases where nobles who wanted to sell the land withdrew their intention…
But…
“Hey, Baron. ···?”
“Oh, you’re really busy. Why do you keep coming here?”
“I want to hear the reason why construction is not being done on my family’s land—·”
“Don’t rush it… Can’t you see that everyone is working hard?”
“…Isn’t that the problem? Are you asking why our land is an empty plain when there are already buildings all around us? “I created and handed over the design drawings a long time ago, and now all I have to do is build it!”
“Ah, so why don’t you tell me to wait? Who said you wouldn’t? We will do it all when
the
time comes
…
” Okay, I’ll sell it…”
There were many families who couldn’t withstand my blatant manipulation and raised the white flag, but it was also true that there were more families who wanted to hold out until the end…
‘They can start construction last. ····’
One month, two months, three months like that…
Time passed quickly, business got on track, and there were a lot of things I had to worry about…
So from then on, I focused on other things rather than business…
That’s money. It’s good to earn money, but isn’t it meaningless when it’s all said and
done? “You’ve finally become a family… Welcome…”
“Whew… I didn’t know it would take this long…”
James Kala, vice-captain of the Serrated Tooth Clan, and
Paladin Sven We have finally officially recruited
Parav,
noble officer Meland Kaislan,
Liris Marone from the magic army, and former members of the Ice Rock Expedition who left their respective groups and are now completely normal people.
“Akuraba, you are not joining? ?”
“I don’t know yet… I contacted you to say I wanted to meet you, but I didn’t hear back…” “
It seems like a similar case to Ravien…”
“… It wasn’t an easy decision… A lot of time has passed since that day…”
“Still, I I just can’t understand! “I still can’t sleep well because of that…!”
“Calm down, Ms. Marone… Don’t they all have their own circumstances?”
Well, I think it’s a difference in inclination rather than circumstances…
There are people like Lilith Marone, while there are people who think it’s better to forget and live…
In reality, it’s much easier…
“Well… but I did it because they told me to join… Is there anything we can do?”
“Actually, I was wondering that too… what can we do together now that the labyrinth is closed…”
“By any chance… will the labyrinth reopen in the near future?”
I shook my head in response to the new members’ questions…
“No, I didn’t hear the news about the labyrinth opening… But there was other news…” ”
You said it was news…”
“There will be a big competition at the festival held in March. “
This is high-level information that was obtained in advance by mobilizing noble connections, but not many people know it yet.
“If you say a competition, what kind of competition are you talking about?”
“The details may change, but for now, they will gather each clan and have them compete… Our primary goal is to win the competition…” “
···Ah! “I heard that such competitions have been held a few times in the past!”
“But I don’t understand why such a competition is being held at a time like this…” “
Rather, it is being held because it is such a time… Because the royal family always wants to blind people…”
“Well… But if the primary goal is… · Are you saying there are other goals as well?”
I chuckled as I looked at Sven Farab, who seemed more interested in this than the competition.
“Of course it is… It’s still a secret…”
“···Yes?”
“Don’t make that face… I’m just thinking about it… I’ll tell you later when it becomes more concrete…” As
for the second goal, I mentioned its existence, so that’s enough…
“Follow me! “Everyone is waiting…”
Afterwards, he took the new members inside and started a welcoming ceremony.
A place where old and new members sat together, had drinks and food, and naturally built friendships.
“Karlstein has a very nice face. “I see…”
“Oh, is that so…? I don’t know…”
“You’ve definitely gotten better… The atmosphere on the first basement floor was somewhat difficult to approach…”
“Ahaha… Is that really true?”
In the case of the goblin and Kaislan who stayed together on the first basement floor, they were all already acquainted, but today was also the first time they met. “
James Carla! Nice to meet you!!”
“Ah… nice to meet you… I’ve heard a lot about it…”
“I heard you shoot an arrow? “Try shooting at me!”
“You mean now…?”
“In the first place, we become friends while fighting!”
James Calla Liris Marone, who did not participate in the expedition to the basement level, today will be the first time seeing Einar, Misha, and Auyen…
“Hello Marone… This is Misha Karlstein… This is our navigator, Auyen Rockrobe. “And…”
“Ah, yes… it’s nice to meet you both…”
Without going too far, they just introduced each other and left the room, and the three people who knew the purpose of the meeting continued their conversation on their own.
Oh, of course, Einar’s eyes. Until that figure came in.
“Oh! What are the three of you talking about like that?! Please join us too!”
“···yes?”
“Oh right! Would you like to take a look too? He decided to shoot an arrow at me…”
“…I didn’t answer?”
Everyone seemed to be upset by Einar, but I didn’t intervene.
Isn’t he like that too?
Normally, at a place like this, there needs to be at least one extreme extrovert to make the atmosphere much softer…
“Yandel, come here for a moment…”
As I was looking at Einar’s seat from a distance, Amelia approached me without pretending to be friendly and took me to a quiet corner seat. Led ·
“What’s going on?”
“I have something to tell you about what you asked for…”
I immediately lowered my voice…
“Oh, did you find out…?”
“I’ll have to check the authenticity to find out, but first of all, there was income…”
To be honest, I was a little surprised.
I asked for it, but I didn’t expect that they would come back with the results so quickly.
“It’s okay even if the information is completely wrong, so tell me quickly…”
Amelia said at my urging. He told me the information he had found out so far, and after listening to it, I listened in silence…
And how long had passed…
“But…”
Amelia, who had finished explaining, asked me with worried eyes…
“Are you really going to do this…?”
Although he was asked to find a way, his voice was as if he didn’t really want to…
But…
“There’s no other way…”
The Noark guys have a lot to hide, and
the royal family even more so.
Even Lee Baek-ho and the clown have information like this. There is no correct information because it is so tightly hidden…
But in the meantime…
[Does this mean something will happen in a year?]
[Yes… It will happen… A very interesting and big event…]
Something is happening beneath the surface…
And my personality. It’s impossible to just sit back and watch what happens…
It’s probably not a suitable option for an explorer…
“Don’t worry too much, Emily…”
“…”
“It’s just the right time…”
Now, let’s explore outside the castle walls. It’s time…
