My Lucky Encounter From the Game Turned Into Reality - Chapter 58
The luck in the game turns into reality Episode 58
18. Monopoly (1)
As a world where feudalism dominates, the power of religion is very strong in Rondel.
‘Actually, it has to be that way.’
Even people on Earth who have never witnessed a miracle in person often show deep faith, but would it be so great in a world where real miracles exist?
Rondel is quite active, as God often sends apostles to earth and delivers messages through oracles.
This means that it is an environment that cannot be less religious than the Earth.
In addition, the biggest difference from Earth is that the entire world believes in one god, so there is less religious strife.
Of course, beings called heretics often appear in Rondel.
However, they are not stigmatized as pagans due to the interests of competing religions, but are recognized as pagans who deny the true God.
Denying the Creator is no different from denying the world, so it can be said that the characteristic of pagan practices is that they do not take deep root and quickly disappear.
‘The name of the being known as Rondel’s creator and sole god is Sepia.’
Naturally, Rondel’s religion is called ‘Sepia’.
The place where the Sepia religion’s headquarters and leadership is located is called the ‘Holy Land of Everhill’, and is famous for being a country that even the Brigham Empire would not dare to invade.
There are three people who rule over such a holy place: a saint, a saint, and a saint.
The Holy King oversees the entire administration of the church, and the Saint oversees the military, including the Holy Knights.
And the saint oversees all priests who perform divine miracles in the world.
In other words, the person Arcia found is someone who has the qualities to become such a saint.
“Are there any other characteristics?”
“There is only one quality of your saint.”
The Holy King, who has received the blessing of Sepia, the one god, is elected from the Holy Royal Family by blood, but the saints and saints, regardless of their status, are chosen by God for a 50-year cycle.
‘Mangyeong even predicts God’s choice?’
No, that won’t be it.
It is known that as few as 10 and as many as 30 saints and saint candidates are elected.
Afterwards, a contest is held where the god himself presents the task, and the god who watches the entire process selects the saint and the saint.
In other words, the qualities of a saint refer to the saint or candidate for sainthood.
“Can we bring in a being like this and educate him?”
“Shall we cancel the recruitment?”
“No, recruit him first.”
However, we need to think about whether to recruit candidates for sainthood and send them to the temple through sponsorship, or whether to invite a priest to educate them.
If the person I raised becomes a saint, its value cannot be converted into money.
Although I was taken aback by his unexpected talent, it was clear that he was one of the talents that could not be overlooked.
“Recruitment seems easy.”
“That’s a good thing.”
According to Arcia, the information on the person in question is as follows.
[Ivril Barnett / Commoner]
Age: 15
Parent’s occupation: Father (porter at a distribution company) Mother (kitchen assistant at a restaurant)
Family situation: Ha.
She is a 15-year-old, very pretty girl with blond eyes. She is working part-time at a convenience store due to her family’s poor financial condition. do.
I think Arcia discovered it when she stopped by a convenience store to buy snacks.
“Tell me to provide a generous down payment.”
“yes.”
In the end, I decided to bring her in for a down payment of KRW 200 million and monthly living expenses of KRW 5 million.
Originally, the administrator in charge of recruitment negotiations was going to give her a down payment of less than 100 million won considering her age, but based on my advice, he set it at 200 million won.
An ordinary administrator would not have understood, but the recruiter who followed Arcia was well aware of the growth rate of the people receiving education at the gifted center, so he did not dare to criticize the contract.
To them, I am the person who inherited the Duke of Riverdale’s insight.
Well, I might be worried about the fact that Arcia, not me, was leading the recruitment, but I was the one who made the final decision, so I faithfully followed the instructions.
“How about recruiting talent? Do you think it’s worth it?”
“Yes, I don’t think there will be any problem with this level of activity.”
For reference, Arcia changes the shape of her face using magic when she goes out.
The reason he changed his face was not only because he was so famous among the commoners, but also to disrupt the existence of Mangyeong, who was hidden by invisibility magic.
People who are sensitive to magical power will sense something abnormal in Arsia’s face, but they will not be able to easily notice it until Mangyeong.
Since Arcia always wears the glasses I wear, she will stand out when recruiting people, so I couldn’t help it even though it was inconvenient.
“Then I will ask you to continue to do so. “While going out, I visit a cafe and have fun.”
“All right.”
Arsia’s face brightened when the story about the cafe came up.
“Then let’s continue hunting.”
Level up Level up.
Talent is good, but we must not forget priorities.

Ford Convenience Store, which boasts the largest number of stores in the Kingdom of Reinharts, is known for its thorough staff training with kindness as its motto.
However, just as people’s tendencies cannot be unified, no matter how friendly the head office may be, not all clerks will behave as desired.
“goodbye. “It was a Ford convenience store.”
“Goodbye… Ford’s side… it’s all good.”
‘Ivril’, a girl working at Ford’s convenience store, Building 12, 2nd Branch, Marinkov City, had to be heartbroken every time she saw her senior, who was rude and did not say hello to her.
I heard that the boyfriend she started dating this time was Yeongji’s new knight, but I don’t know if she believed that, but these days, she has become a lot more blunt when dealing with people.
“Ah, I want to get married. Then you won’t have to do this horrible thing.”
“Haha….”
“Do you know that, Everil? They say that if you marry a knight, the lord himself will give you a house as a congratulatory gift. “It’s an unwritten rule that if you’re a regular knight, you get a house worth 500 million won, and if you’re a high-ranking knight, you get a house worth between 1 billion and 1.5 billion won.”
“Incredible. “You gave me a house as a wedding gift.”
“500 to 1 billion is a lot of money to us, but doesn’t it mean the price of gum to nobles? Anyway, if you marry a knight, your life will unfold. Since you are a high-ranking military official, your salary is high. “I also have a lot of severance pay and pension.”
“okay.”
“So, you have my boyfriend Tony, right? He has a boyfriend, but he’s still single. Would you like to go on a blind date?”
“yes? “I’m still a minor?”
“Anyway, you’re old enough to get married in just one year. Senior Tony is also a knight, so he must have that level of discernment.”
Moreover, the problem was that if he didn’t want to work, he would just stay still, but he kept bothering Everil by saying he was setting her up on a blind date.
I could only see a lack of common sense in arranging a blind date for a minor.
No, regardless of common sense or not, it was just a criminal act.
“Hey, it’s okay. “I’m going to get married as late as possible.”
“He’s so young, where did he learn to use words like that? Then what if your appearance goes out of style?”
“Then people who only like looks are automatically filtered out. “I still prefer studying to dating my ex-boyfriend.”
Since she was young, Everil has often heard people around her say that she will have an easy future because of her pretty appearance.
Is that why?
I don’t know if it was because of her resistance to that neurotic line, but Ivril wanted to become an administrator where her intellectual ability could be recognized rather than a job that focused on her appearance.
But whenever she said this, the reaction was always the same.
“Why are you going through all the trouble? Are you saying your family situation is not good? “Isn’t it better to act a little cleverly?”
Just like this.
Is it okay to study if you don’t have money?
Just saying things you don’t want to hear is a talent.
Ivril did not like people, whether women or men, who only relied on the abilities of the opposite sex and did not make any effort.
She also thought that she did not fit in with her senior.
“Don’t be like that…”
“Ah, a guest is coming.”
-A rattle.
“welcome. “It’s a Ford convenience store.”
Fortunately, before the conversation got too long, the guest arrived and the conversation ended automatically.
Naturally, the senior person was reluctant to see the customer who had stopped talking, but Ivril looked at the female customer who was heading straight to the snack corner carrying a basket with suspicion.
He has an ordinary appearance that can be seen anywhere, wearing a robe.
The pattern on the robe didn’t look cheap, but it didn’t look too expensive either.
But what?
I felt a strange sense of strangeness from the guest.
The basket she put down after finishing shopping was full of snacks that she had thrown away without considering the price.
“Customer, one additional chocolate is included as a special event prize…”
“It’s okay. “Just count.”
This is a line that everyone wants to say at least once in a convenience store.
The mindset is to take only what you need without looking at the price of the event, and even though it is not a big deal, it looks cool for no reason.
However, the senior, who did not like the female customer from the moment she appeared, muttered as if complaining.
“what? Pretending to be rich?”
It seems like he decided that he wasn’t a very special person after seeing his clothes.
Ivril’s frown naturally narrowed at that, but she didn’t show it and left the room to bring in the event prizes.
“But just in case, take it with you. This is more delicious than I thought. I’m sure it will suit your taste.”
Then, with a bright smile, she added an additional chocolate cookie to the items she purchased.
“Thank you.”
When the customer readily expressed their gratitude, I felt proud.
However, the tactless senior always added a word.
“And then you take it.”
“Senior…”
“What am I?”
When you’re at a convenience store, you come across all sorts of truths.
But the truth of this situation right now was clearly a senior.
Fortunately, the customer was so patient that he didn’t pay any attention to her story.
However, the unexpected situation that followed sent a chill through the convenience store.
“Ah, Arcia. “I’ve been looking for it for a long time.”
“Because I’m hungry.”
“Then, let’s go to a nearby restaurant…”
“This will do.”
This is because four men, dressed in casual clothes and covered with black scabbards, could be seen as drivers, and a strict-looking woman who appeared to be a secretary hurriedly entered the convenience store and complained to the blunt female customer.
“omg! Would you like to eat these? This is junk food…”
“It’s okay. Even if you drink poison, you won’t get sick.”
“Arsia. But…”
How can the food sold at convenience stores be junk food?
These are made in clean factories.
Well, there are people who treat convenience store food as junk food.
People who live in a castle have the perception that all commoners’ food is junk food.
“are you okay. ah! “I left it in the terminal.”
“I will calculate. “Already, the lord gave us excessive activity expenses.”
Naturally, Ivril and Alba’s expressions turned white.
This was a case that was caught incorrectly.
Given the circumstances, it was clear that the woman in front of me, Arcia, was a noblewoman.
What are the chances of encountering a noble in the Marquis of Lawrence, with a population of 7 million?
How dare they enjoy such useless glory.
Ivril swallowed dry saliva, and Senior Alva’s complexion was discolored and he looked like he was about to suffocate at any moment.
“I will help you calculate the total. “It’s 104,500 routes.”
The calculation went smoothly.
The sturdy drivers bowed down to the female customers and offered to carry the convenience store bags themselves, but Arcia took care of the chocolate snacks recommended by Ivril separately.
The two people at the convenience store prayed for her to leave without saying anything.
But…
Arcia immediately opened a cookie and put it in her mouth, then immediately pointed her finger at Everil.
“Let’s take that blonde girl.”
“uh? “Is that woman a target?”
“huh.”
“All right.”
Ivril said, ‘Hi!’ I was scared as I made a noise, and the part-timer next to me was greatly relieved, perhaps because he was not singled out.
“Miss, you don’t have to be surprised. I have absolutely no intention of harming you. “My name is Cecil and I am an administrator belonging to the Marquis of Lawrence Castle.”
“Are you the administrator of the Lord’s Castle?”
“Yes, it is. Here is the seal.”
But there was something strange about the situation.
Isn’t Ivril’s dream job as an administrator?
When the stylish career woman, who seemed to be expressing her ideal, greeted her politely, Ivril expressed her doubts with a more subdued expression.
“But what brings me…”
“Are you ever interested in working at the Yeongju Castle?”
“yes?”
And when Administrator Cecil made an unexpected proposal, Ivril’s eyes widened.
“As you know, our lord is the Duke of Riverdale’s disciple. Lord, like your teacher, you have an excellent ability to detect people’s talents. “The lord is hoping to have the young lady.”
At Administrator Cecil’s explanation that followed, Ivril made a blank expression, saying she couldn’t believe it.
“My lord?”
“Are you not very inclined?”
“Oh no, it’s really good. “Because it was sudden.”
“If you think about the future, this is an opportunity that you must seize.”
“But my family has a lot of debt, so I have to work.”
“If you don’t mind, may I ask how much you owe?”
“That’s um. “I heard it was around 100 million.”
“We will give you a generous down payment of 200 million won and 500 won a month for living expenses. “Then there’s no problem?”
“Heh… Then of course I should accept it. “But I’m a minor, so I need my parents’ permission.”
“Sure. But the most important thing is what you think.”
Are you even dreaming?
Ivril pinched her cheek like an idiot.
“Hey Administrator, what about me?”
“It’s none of your business.”
Senior Alba seemed to have forgotten his previous actions and was blinded by the ashes, so he dared to join in on the conversation, but Administrator Cecil shook his head coldly.
The disappointment of a senior I didn’t like.
Ivril felt so relieved to see that.
Then, in an unrealistic situation, I looked at Arcia, who was leisurely forgetting snacks and continuously nodding.
“ah! “Then maybe that’s him!?”
Lord of the Marquisate of Lawrence and the name Arsia.
Even though it was too late, Ivril was able to recognize her identity.
“Yes, His Excellency Count Klein. His face is so well-known that he hides his true appearance with magic.”
“omg.”
Ivril’s eyes sparkled even more brightly, and Alba, who had been greedy for the ash, swallowed a sigh of relief.
