Just fiveRuna’s story, his heart was thu

There could be no other response

Book 3-81

1st e marketplace in Pareia opened

Since Edwin’s Merchant Guild was in charge of it, the size was three tier than they had expected

“Welcome”

Runa happily welcomed Edwin, but Edwin responded with a co you welcoed fro, to Runa, Edwin had not been able to have as , and used the fact that they gave Edwin a monopoly as a way to ask for coainst that

“I aiting for you to arrive Since you are the one to bring a large amount of materials to Pareia, as the person responsible for Pareia’s finances, Edwin-nim is like rain in the middle of summer” [1]

Edas someone who had throay the easy life of a noble and decided to join the rough world of coht, it needs to be at least this level to be entertaining’

Edwin put on his work smile and started to speak

“For one of Pareia’s warriors to rate a lowly hly, I a you smile like that Let’s head on in”

As Runa offered Edwin the prepared seat, Edwin nodded his head and follow after hiht to the point as soon as they sat down

They had already felt each other out multiple times the last time they met, so they both felt like there was no need to share useless words

“What is it you want this tis he had thought about

“The first is to increase the amount of iron by twice the noret Furtherht now, the other guilds are not willing to hand over any iron either No doo to ithin the next three years With the two strong nations going to war, it means that the multiple smaller nations under their control will be forced to take part as well Knowing that is coht now? I’ather asyou like this if it was easy to do? Furtheruild based out of the Western continent where the situation is better?”

Edwin took a peek at Runa as he cautiously asked

“Pareia should have gathered a lot of iron and weapons froainst the Wikaly Are you still that low on iron? Your number of warriors should not have increased by that much”

Runa did not even blink before he answered

“Since ill continue to go to war in the future, having more iron is always better In addition, we need a lot of iron because we are trying to build a castle”

“A castle? In the desert?”

As Edwin asked in disbelief, Runa just asked the question again instead of answering

“So can you get it or not?”

“I’ain if I say I can’t?”

“I just explained the truth to you, I did not threaten you”

Edwin glared at Runa as cal his ather every little scrap of iron I can gather”

Seeing the answer co tiinally, he should have been afraid of the cards in Edwin’s hands, but the situation was different this time

He was ready to take any attack It was because he had a very strong card in his hand this time

‘If I don’t ask noould I ask?’

Runa started to talk about the next iteuessing you ards to this aspect, I can only trust in Edwin-ni as well”

“Hht now that I do not know if any such experts would be left”

At Edwin’s fake tantrum, Runa slowly revealed the card in his hand

“Aren’t you curious about the card in s today”

“Hmm”

Edho had lost his s loudly This ht be a jackpot”

“I understand I will find you the experts Depending on the card that Runa-nim is about to reveal, I will even find a lad that your network is as wide as I expected If it is a master-level expert, it wouldn’t be that easy for them to leave the country”

“Well, that is my small talent so do not worry about it Howwould you need them for?”

“The more people the better In terms of the time, let’s just say until the castle is finished Ten years is probably about right, don’t you think?”

Edwin rolled his head at Runa’s retort before answering

“That should be long enough And the next item?”

Edwin started to rush Runa to see his card

Runa was stingy, but the trade with the desert was his ainst that But since Runa was the person in charge, Edas just preventing Runa froe for the future That hy Edilling to take soht now

“I want to acquire some wheat Of course I a Runa take the lead like that, Edondered just what kind of card Runa had in his hand to come out so confidently

“That is also possible Now that I a it into do Are you going to ask for large amounts of stone and wood next?”

As Runa nodded his head, Edwin raised the nuher
