Chapter 319 – Chapter 32

A certain place where a large magic circle was drawn.

A group of lavishly dressed people were waiting for a report from the wizards inspecting the magic circle.

“The teleport of Isilid, the capital of the Kingdom of Lucia Arcenel, has been connected.”
“It’s exactly the time promised.”

The aristocrats, dressed in luxurious jewelry and clothes, headed for the carriages as colorful as their costumes.

Even if you teleport, you have to show your dignity as a Shinigami and an aristocrat.

However, their faces showed more determination than those of ordinary envoys.

They are the envoys of Harlot Kingdom.

Lillian’s evaluation was the worst in the Harlot Kingdom, so their resolution was accompanied by hostility.

-How dare you use us!-

From the point of view of Harlot Kingdom, Lillian thoroughly used her.

While fighting the vampires, they seasoned everything, but Lillian ate the result.

When Lillian and the others find out, ‘What are you saying? If Barnes was belligerent, people would have turned into zombies a long time ago.

In addition, Kaicentra, who was under Lillian, assaulted the 3rd prince, Jeride, and ate the national pride.

It is said that Akina issued an expulsion order in the direction of Cameld Kingdom, but it seems that Lillian helped him regain the kingdom.

This created her hostile public opinion towards Akina, and even her royal family plotted to make her pay for her in some way in this matter.

“It’s our turn.”

After a while, when it was their turn, the envoys formed to match the size of the magic circle entered.

“Teleport, I will activate.”

With the signal from the representative magician, light arose from the magic circle, and the four gods immediately moved to a similar but disparate space.

“We welcome the envoys of Harlot Kingdom on behalf of Queen Lillian, the rightful successor of Lucy Arkenel Kingdom. If you move outside, an guide will be on standby.”

The neatly dressed people welcomed the envoys from abroad.

“Huh. You’re shameless.”
“There’s something our kingdom has done for you, but if you have any shame, you’ll have to find it yourself.”

The envoys from other kingdoms moved to the guide, but they grumbled openly as if to be heard.

However, those who greeted the envoys from abroad did not let go of their soft and relaxed smiles.

‘If the worst happens, the Terminator and Skynet will take care of it.’
‘If I don’t give the other side a justification, it’s over.’

They were all from Earth, trained for this day.

The reason why they are limited to being from Earth is because they are learning the dangers of Atti and Atremis in various directions.

The reassurance that the hive mind artificial intelligence and killer robots from the future are their allies made them not hesitate to destroy a planet if they wanted to.

The envoys, unaware of this fact, understood that they were firmly educated in their refusal to budge from their provocations.

“Keuheum. Move.”
“Yes.”

The representative of the Four Sindans, with a stocky physique and strong eyes, ordered the coachmen to move.

‘For a short period of one month, educating servants with a pulpit like that.’

The representative of the Four Sins, Marquis Can Devion, who did not know that they were of a different species, scattered his eyes sharply here and there to gather as much information as possible.

When I stepped out of the teleportation facility, I was escorted by guards wearing full-body armor like knights and clean and well-groomed roads.

‘It would be no different from being destroyed by the vampires and starting from zero.’

The Marquis of Khan was gorgeous only on the outside, and he thought that a closer look at the inside would reveal the messy reality.

It was also confirmed that the talented class was wiped out as the nobles were annihilated or fled, and that Lillian’s mercenary corps was also made up of wanderers who ate a fight here and there.

However, the equipment worn by the guards was uniform and too luxurious for a single guard to wear.

‘Isn’t it that he regained the kingdom without thinking?’

In addition, the size of the mercenary corps that Lillian used under the name of Wolf can never win against vampires.

In other words, someone they didn’t know helped them.

Not only the Marquis of Khan, but also other foreign envoys had the same idea, and finding helpers who helped Lillian was their first priority.

Noisily noisily—

When I came out of the teleport facility located in a somewhat remote corner for security reasons and came out on the main road, I could see the scene of a festival where many people were enjoying themselves noisily.

Various species from other worlds spread various catches suitable for this world and become a spectacle, and numerous stalls are lined up to sell various foods.

‘Where did they hire those clowns?’
‘The dew point is considerable. Are there any ingredients that can sustain so many stalls?’

The nobles who came with the Marquis of Khan could not hide their embarrassment at the sight of normalizing the capital in a month.

‘Also. As His Majesty said, it is clear that he accepted the different species.’

However, Marquis Khan, who was secretly hinted at by the king about the existence of different species, saw through that most of them were of different species.

‘It’s highly likely that the guys who guided us earlier and those guys are of the same species.’

Using a dirty, uncertified foreign species to guide noble nobles!

He developed hostility toward Lillian, who did not respect nobles, but even so, he had to gather information quietly here.

Escorted by the guards, the envoys arrived in front of the palace and got off the wagon and went inside.

“Welcome to the envoys of Harlot Kingdom.”

Upon entering the palace, the ladies-in-waiting at the entrance greeted politely from left and right.

Originally, in an aristocratic society, a more luxurious and lengthy greeting should be given.

However, the Kingdom of Harlot did not give the personal information of the envoys to show their discomfort, so they had to greet them politely but briefly.

“Oh, oh oh…”
“Gulp…!”

However, upon hearing the greetings from the ladies-in-waiting, the envoys unknowingly admired or swallowed dry saliva.

The enchanting aura felt from the vampire handmaidens melted their vigilance.

Although they are low-class vampires, they are high-class talents who have met various conditions to work in the royal family.

In addition, the Kaicents discovered the happiness of women, and by absorbing semen, evolving into intermediate vampires, they were able to evoke a naturally enchanting grace.

“I will guide you to the lodgings you will use. Please come this way.”

Among the ladies-in-waiting, a lady-in-waiting who seemed to have a high position guided the envoys.

“In the evening, the queen plans to start a party to welcome the envoys. Until then, you can act freely, but security is blocking the place for security reasons…”

The lady-in-waiting told the envoys what they needed to know and guided them to the lodgings they would use.

“In addition, we are holding a tea party for the envoys in the royal palace garden. We also have low-alcohol alcohol, so please enjoy it.”
“Look.”
“Yes, please.”
“It’s stuffy because I’m only in the palace. Can I go outside?”

The nobleman who received the signal from the Marquis of Khan asked a question.

Her lady-in-waiting gave her a small nod along with her relaxed smile.

“Of course. You just have to come back before the party.”

The nobles quickly exchanged glances at the answer.

In particular, the Marquis Khan, who thought the probability of the kingdom of Lucy Arkenel to be normal was low, had to hide his agitation.

‘Have you focused only on normalizing the water supply for a month?’

Otherwise, it is impossible to give such a confident answer.

‘Good. I’ll confirm how much effort you put in for a month.’

As soon as the envoys from Harlot Kingdom were assigned a better accommodation than expected, they scattered to gather information.

The Marquis Khan, who could be said to be the representative of the envoys, had to receive a report, but this time he stepped out of the palace to see with his own eyes.

“Marquis. We are doing this…”
“It’s okay. I want to check the source of that confidence.”

Accompanied by an escort and attendants, he moved his steps.

After living in darkness for over 10 years, when the festival was held in broad daylight, all the people came out and enjoyed the festival with smiles on their faces.

‘The number of people is large. Did the vampires handle it more gently than I thought?’

However, the Marquis of Khan was checking their appearance from a different perspective.

“Marquis. From here, we will move ourselves.”
“Hmm. I’ll gather information separately.”

At that time, members of the Guardian Corps, disguised as attendants, received permission from the Marquis and scattered in all directions.

After leaving them to collect information secretly and deciding to dig into his outward appearance, Jok headed to the shopping street lined with his stalls.

“Hey. With this, buy half meat and half vegetable food.”
“Yes? The Marquis, such vulgar food…”
“There’s something I need to check, so hurry up.”
“All right.”

The Marquis of Cannes ordered one of the escorts to buy food from a street vendor.

This is because the approximate food situation can be known depending on the price at which food is sold.

Moments later, the escort brought in his hand a load of stall food.

“Good work. First of all, it looks fine. Where?”

He first picked up the skewer and took a bite.

Most of the meat that goes to the people is of low quality, so the escorts were worried that they might spit it out.

“Hmm!?”

When Marquis Gireko Khan looked surprised at something, the escorts became restless as their concerns became reality.

But with a surprised expression on his face, he grabbed the skewer with both hands and chewed the meat.

“Huh, Marquis?”
“Why are skewers on the street…?”

Leaving behind the bewildered escorts, the Marquis Khan, who had eaten all the grilled skewers, came to his senses belatedly and could not hide his astonishment.

“What… What is it? It’s delicious… It tastes better than the dishes prepared by the royal chef…!”

It’s all about simply rubbing the seasoning that combines various ingredients on the grilled meat.

It’s cheap food that you wouldn’t even eat normally, but the spicy and sweet seasoning taste that you’ll be addicted to and the meat that bursts with juice when you chew it crushes all the dishes you’ve ever eaten.

It’s a simple recipe, but it’s natural when you look at the quality of the ingredients and the seasoning.

The meat was made by mass-producing the finest cuts of cultured meat, and Artemis calculated the seasoning and made it to the golden ratio that most humans could only be satisfied with.

He snatched the sandwich the escort had bought and bit it into his mouth.

A plain sandwich with mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, and simple seasoning.

Food where the chef’s skills are all about preparing the ingredients.

Hehe…”

However, after eating the sandwich, the Marquis couldn’t stop exclamations of exclamation.

‘What… This… ! How the hell can this taste come out!’

Unable to understand, he peeled off the bread from the half-eaten sandwich and tried each ingredient one layer at a time.

‘Each vegetable has a great taste! Is this black soil? No, it’s several times more delicious than the black soil crops imported from Lucy Arkenel!’

He was also a high-ranking nobleman, so when the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel was in good health, he imported crops grown in the black soil and served them on the table.

However, the vegetables in the cheap food sold on the street were much tastier than the vegetables he ate.

When I tried other foods, they were much fresher and tastier than the ingredients carefully selected by the royal family.

“This, these, how much did it cost to buy them all?”
“Oh, that, that…It didn’t cost that much.”
“Exactly!”
“Yes, yes! Yakitori is 80 fairy tales… This is 35 fairy tales…”

As Howie desperately recalled his memory, he announced the price of the items he had purchased.

The Marquis of Khan couldn’t even manage his expression because it was such a cheap price that it didn’t even cost a silver coin to buy one.

‘Sold at a price that even ordinary people wouldn’t feel burdened by? Food of this quality?’

Could it be that it was released for deception in preparation for their own investigation?

No. It is thousands of times more profitable to sell these high-end ingredients abroad at a higher price than to sell them on the market cheaply for deception.

If that’s not the case…

‘Is it possible to easily obtain these ingredients… !’

What if these ingredients were sold to ordinary people abroad?

If you eat it even once, the cheap ingredients that people usually eat will taste like stale water.

In addition, at such a low price, even considering distribution and margin, people will be able to purchase it.

If the people become accustomed to this taste, agricultural products and livestock products made by farmers in their own country will lose their competitiveness and be eliminated.

The Marquis Khan, who naturally recalled that the food economy of the Western Continent was dominated by the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel, felt a sense of crisis for the first time that he had to fight for the entire Western Continent, not for his own country.
