825 – An Empire Is a Continent – 5

An empire is a country that rules over a continent. As a result, everything on the continent is gathered into the empire, so it is no wonder that the Hausentz Circle, once the center of the empire’s logistics, shows off its majesty like a small continent.

However, when we think of everything, goods usually come to mind. A small continent where goods with unique characteristics from all over the continent and goods boasting different cultures come together. When you think of the center of logistics, such things usually come to mind, and the actual results are also the same.

However, it wouldn’t be fun if it ended with a result that everyone could imagine. The Hausentz Circle was not a place where only trivial goods were gathered.

“Anyway, those Bazen people keep their mouths open!”

“Are you the only ones with a body ahead of their brains?”

In addition to material goods that can be touched, emotions that cannot be touched are also elements that make up the continent. Fierce confrontation and conflict between countries have also become a tourist attraction that forms the Hausenz Circle.

‘Everything comes together.’

I was amazed at the grandeur of the Hausentz Circle, which gathered all kinds of things and also gathered national emotions.

Even listening to the conversation, it seems like those two are from the Kingdom of Ryutton and the Kingdom of Bazen. Rather than a country close to the empire like Armain, people from a country almost on the other side of the continent like Juven have come all the way to the empire and are arguing.

It is truly amazing. If you’re going to fight, fight nearby. Why come all the way to the other side of the continent to fight? Did you receive any fight money from the imperial family?

‘Besides, it’s Lewton and Bazen.’

Armain, the kingdom of knights, and Yuven, the magic powerhouse. The two countries boast the second and third largest national power on the continent, and each reveres the sword and magic, so the conflict between the two countries is more than familiar.

But instead of Armain and Juven, it’s a confrontation between Ljuten and Bazen? Although those two countries are specialized in swords and magic, there is a strong perception that they are second-tier compared to Armain and Juven. In other words, what is happening before our eyes is no different from minor league players, not major league players, playing a big role in the empire.

Maybe that’s why it was even more exciting. This is a debate between minor leaguers, not major leaguers. It’s hard to see it unless you go directly to Ryuten or Baden.

“Minister, Minister.”

“Huh?”

“They say that a guy who uses a sword has his head as hard as iron. “What do you think?”

I laughed at Eri’s words as she poked my side

I heard that remark too. A person believed to be from Bazen is shouting with rolled-back eyes. How can you not hear it? These words were so full of originality and sincerity that I couldn’t ignore them.

“A wizard can say that.”

But I wasn’t particularly angry or upset. A wizard and a swordsman swearing at each other and belittling each other is like saying hello. This is common sense.

Rather, the wizard praises the knight? It is most likely the wizard’s build-up to prepare for a big blow. I feel more comfortable having double insults thrown in my face.

‘Hmm.’

Rather, what greets you as soon as you enter the circle is the controversy of people from third countries. It was a rare sight to see in a tourist attraction, so I quickly looked around the atmosphere, but the other people didn’t really care whether the two were fighting or not.

Right. Here, that is not a special event, but everyday life.

“Just let’s go.”

“Oh, really? Where else can you go and not see something like that?”

When I said this while hugging her on her shoulder, Eri opened her eyes and asked back.

Are you really going to ignore this bizarre yet interesting fight? Are you going to pass by a sight you will never see in the islands?

“Anyway, we’ll see something similar to that again. We’re fighting from the beginning, so what’s going on deep inside?”

“Ah.”

Eri seemed to be convinced by my persuasion and nodded.

“Those land dogs who don’t even know what the sea is!”

“You’re a landlocked country too, you idiots!”

“We have a faithful friend, Pothos! How dare we treat them as equals to you!?”

Not long after I actually started walking, I saw new people discussing new topics.

The faithful friend Pothos and the inland land dog. From what I’ve heard, it seems like this time it’s a conflict between the Kingdom of Boryen and the Kingdom of Jibrot. Naturally, if there is a border, the relationship is bad, so Borjen and Gibrot are countries that are like enemies.

In such a situation, the two countries have similar levels of national power, and they also have principalities of similar levels. If one side was clearly stronger, there wouldn’t be a conflict like this. It’s also a coincidence.

“But aren’t they both inferior to Quoronos and Zereno?”

“Uh huh.”

It’s not easy to say something like that. Because fact violence can be stronger than any other violence.

And they are so proud of their country that they show patriotism in other countries. It would be difficult if those guys ‘aggro was drawn in this direction, so I tried to control Eri’s mouth her as much as possible and started walking again.

As I expected, I confirmed that conflicts between people from third countries are occurring everywhere. Now I just have to go to the shopping mall like normal.

Unfortunately, Eri’s mouth was deprived of freedom for a while.

As I walked a little further, other guys were fighting, and as I headed to another direction, they were fighting again. Eri had no choice but to keep her mouth shut because, just by walking a few steps, she discovered crazy people who dared to risk their country’s pride in someone else’s country.

‘Are only b*stards gathered in Hausenz?’

I felt like I would intuit a new fight if I continued to wander the streets, so I took refuge in a nearby cafe and sighed inwardly.

It is fortunate that there is no physical conflict, as she only intends to kill the opponent with her tongue. It probably means that there is no one crazy enough to cause bloodshed in the empire, or even in the imperial territory.

However, it was easy to see conflict throughout the Hausenz Circle to take comfort in that. I think Sura Island, where asuras gather and fight, is exactly like this.

“Only crazy people live in Hausenz?”

In the meantime, Eri, who was drinking strawberry juice, calmly spat out an abusive language.

In some ways, it was a disparaging remark about the region, but it could not be denied. I was thinking the same thing.

‘Was it not a circle but a Colosseum?’

No matter how much I think about it, I think I misunderstood the name. Wouldn’t it have been Hausenz Coliseum, not Hausenz Circle? If merchants in a shopping mall focus on fighting instead of doing business, I think the Colosseum would be the right choice.

“It looks like you are new here.”

While we quietly drink coffee amid indescribable complexity. The president, who personally brought snacks, slowly opened his mouth.

“I’ve been to Hausenz a few years ago, but this is my first time visiting Hausenz Circle. It’s a very… Lively place.”

I couldn’t bear to ask the person doing business here, ‘What is this crazy Sodom and Gomorrah?’ I couldn’t argue with that. Eri and I were confused as we visited for the first time, but I wondered how complicated the feelings of the person running the business must be.

“Haha, there’s no need to spin it in a nice way. We know better than anyone that this place is a strangely twisted place, contrary to its external reputation.”

Actually, my consideration quickly turned into trash.

“Hausentz Circle was created decades ago, but it was not built in an empty plain. Thanks to its location close to King Tiraf, it was famous as a place where all kinds of merchants gathered and passed by. Even before that, it was famous for its reputation. The one who made it strong is the former head of the Asilon family.”

“I heard that.”

“But isn’t the previous Asilon family usually a nasty person? They say that children take after their parents, but this Hausentz Circle was made to be just as nasty as the previous Asilon family.”

This was my first time hearing this, so I was immediately interested.

And no matter how much the previous Asilon family fell and was treated like a traitor, a noble is a noble. For a president who appears to be a commoner to say something like this, it means that the previous Asilon family has a poor reputation within the Hausentz circle. This means that even commoners viewed nobles not as nobles, but as crazy dogs.

“That person was barely human.”

That’s why, when I accepted the president’s cautious criticism of Asilon, his face lit up.

“But it’s nasty. How on earth can you say that? After all, it’s where you make your living.”

“That’s it.”

The president, who touched the back of his neck for a moment, seemed to be dizzy just thinking about it, and then spoke with a sigh.

“The dispute between merchants from other countries was the work of the previous head of the family. In order to prevent collusion among foreigners, he committed all sorts of tricks to stimulate national pride and induce excessive competition. It was so blatant that even a commoner like me knew about it.”＜ Br＞

“It’s too much competition.”

“Yes. Since you are doing business in the name of your country, you sell at least a little cheaper than the other party and sell something that is even a little better. To be honest, it is good from a living standpoint… But that goes on for decades…”

I clicked my tongue because I thought I had a general idea. If such a crazy competition continues for decades, even family members can become enemies.

Moreover, the people bickering in this Hausenz circle are not families, but merchants of different nationalities. It’s actually surprising that there hasn’t been any bloodshed until now.

“Six people have already had their noses broken this month alone.”

“What?”

What does that mean?

“Oh, don’t get me wrong! I’m not talking about fighting on the street! If you go west from here, you’ll come across a small building, and you can legally fight there! You’ll even get treatment afterwards!”

I closed my eyes in sorrow at those words.

Sentai Asilon, you b*stard. I was thrown into hell because I created hell on the continent.

‘If something bad happened in imperial history, it was because of the second prince.’

Now, the former Asilon matriarch should be treated as a representative b*stard of the empire.

Sorry. I was so preoccupied with the second prince that I underestimated you, damn you.

“Wow, you made it amazingly? It looks like you really have the will to just get money.”

Eri’s eyes sparkled with pure admiration at this crazy royalties hell.

Don’t be happy. The powder keg of a mini-sized continent is now in the empire.

Even though the empire is the center of the continent, there is no need to embrace it.
