Episode 31. Returning to the National Cetery,
Marquis Manuel could not sit still in his study and wandered around the room.
Did you know his anxious heart? It wasn’t long before there was a knock on the library door.
“dismissal. This is Saviros.”
“Co in.”
As soon as the Marquis’s butler, Saviros, opened the door and entered, questions imdiately fell.
“Did you get it?”
“yes. dismissal. Even though there is only one bottle, we succeeded in obtaining it.”
“Oh oh!”
The Marquis looked at Saviros’s body with a look of emotion, but he was empty-handed.
“But why did you co empty-handed? Didn’t you say you saved it?”
“Ah, that is it. In fact, it is said that it is successful to place an order and the real thing takes about a week. There are a lot of reservations… … .”
“You an a week or so?”
“yes. dismissal. Actually, I protested to see if it could be moved a little earlier, but the people who made reservations earlier than us were also high-ranking people, so I couldn’t help it.”
“Okay. i get it. I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”
While the Marquis was swallowing his regret, a servant knocked on the door.
“What’s going on?”
“A guest has arrived. I am Count Hawthorne Lankrat of the Counts of Lankrat.”
“Lord Lankrat? i get it. Please guide to the waiting room.”
The Marquis was a little displeased with the sudden, unexpected guest, but he couldn’t ignore Count Lankrat, who had amassed the greatest fortune in the area.
“Sabiros. Has Prince Lankrat been due to visit lately?”
“As far as I know, no.”
“That is very rare. Anyway, let’s go together.”
Taking Saviros to the reception room, the Marquis was soon able to et the handso Count Lankrat.
“My Excellency Manuel! I am very sorry to have visited you so suddenly.”
“no. Lankrat Ball. Where is the need for such formality between us? Please have a seat.”
The Marquis greeted Count Lankrat with the most welco expression on his face.
Count Lankrat nodded as if the Marquis’ attitude was natural, and sat down at the seat the Marquis had guided.
“Even though I haven’t seen it in a long ti, the appearance of the ball is still the sa. How can you maintain the appearance of such a trustworthy captain? Do you have any tips?”
“It is overrated. dismissal. Just eat well and sleep well. More than that, His Excellency seems to have rejuvenated. How do you get younger and younger as the years go by?”
As usual, there was a conversation with all sorts of rhetoric, and when the atmosphere had matured to so extent, the Marquis asked the purpose of the visit.
“By the way, why did you co here today?”
“Oh, wait a minute. hey! Charlie!”
Count Langrat called the servant who was waiting outside the door.
Then a servant carrying a box entered the reception room.
“dismissal. It is a small but first year-end gift.”
“no? haha. I didn’t expect this. You will receive my thanks.”
Saviros ca forward and took the box the servant handed over to him instead.
The box is not big and the weight is light.
“If you don’t mind, you can check it out now.”
“hmm? Seeing that Lord Langrat says that, it must be a pretty great thing, right?”
After saying that, the Marquis had Saviros check the contents.
After opening the box, Saviros saw what was inside and his eyes widened.
“No this!”
“Why but? What is it?”
Count Langratt cleared his throat and opened his mouth, as if he was satisfied with Saviros’ reaction.
“I actually had a chance to get a large amount of pretty rare items on this opportunity. Please do not feel burdened and use it comfortably.”
The Marquis listened to Count Langrat and checked the contents of the box.
There were three thumb-sized potion bottles surrounded by high-quality interior materials.
“Can this be?”
“This is the Everlast Potion.”
The Marquis picked up the potion bottle with trembling hands.
The potion in his hand glowed yellow.
After staring at the potion for a while, the Marquis ca to his senses and looked at Count Langrat.
“No, to give you three bottles of this precious thing. Are you really going to be okay?”
“sure. dismissal. Isn’t that enough between us?”
“oh my. Thank you.”
The Everlast Potion was a product that beca famous because of the knowledge of so nobles who had experienced it before it was sold on the market.
It has no side effects and guarantees 100% effectiveness.
This rumor beca known to social circles as well as those who were interested in such things even a little bit, and the cases that actually worked were revealed one by one, and it was called the dream potion.
The potion, which went on sale shortly after the rumor spread, led to exclusive sales by the Everlast rchants.
Even those who don’t believe in rumors tried to purchase the product with the feeling of experiencing it at least once, so the Everlast Potion was sold out from the first day, so they queued up to make a reservation.
In the end, the price was increased exponentially by adding a premium at the top of Everlast, but there was no sign of a decrease in reservations.
Rather, upon hearing the price, the reliability among nobles increased, to the extent that reservations increased.
“Did you see so effect from Lord Langrat?”
“yes. sure It’s real. Take it tonight and you’ll believe it even if you don’t want to believe it. ha ha ha!”
“Oh oh! Hearing the words of the gong definitely builds trust. I will keep this gift in my heart forever.”
“haha! You don’t have to. dismissal.”
The two of them talked back and forth for a while, and soon passed the story and moved on to the story of the potion maker.
“I heard that it was the only son and daughter of the Everlast rchant who invented this.”
“Oh right. She is a cute child nad Lucia.”
“her. The top of Everlast has really blossod. They have the right to the potion as well as the exclusive right.”
“Ah, I heard that the patent right for the potion belongs to the co-producer.”
“Co-producers?”
“You know that Count Cromwell. There is a guy nad Adrias Cromwell who recently succeeded to the title.”
“Cromwell?”
The Marquis was able to think of a count’s family as he recalled his mories.
“ah! That Cromwell! I would never have thought that even the mory of that great family would fade now. Still, it seems that such a talented person suddenly appears, so it is still in existence?”
“It looks like he is attending Rodlen Academy, but instead of taking the na of the potion and exclusive rights from the Everlast rchants, he transferred the entire patent right to him.”
“Sothing like that happened. Then it will only be a matter of ti before he sits on the cushion of money.”
“You can see it that way.”
Marquis Manuel pondered.
The Cromwell family, whose na is now obscured.
The head of the house and a student who has not yet graduated from the academy.
However, seeing that he made such a great potion, I thought that the old Cromwell had not gone anywhere.
‘It could be the goose that lays the golden eggs.’
The Marquis decided to give support to Adrias Cromwell as soon as Count Langgrat left.
* * *
“Why are my ears tickling so much these days?”
who else is talking about ?
A few days ago, the patent registration of the potion to increase physical strength was completed and it began to be sold on the market.
In the process, through Lucia, I t her father, Viscount William Everast Hollington.
As the na suggests, he was originally a person who managed the upper house, but he was a person who bought a manor nad Hollington by amassing wealth with great rchants.
Thanks to this, his status as a baronet beca a decent viscount, and he was a positional figure who did not stop there and rose to the position of successor nobility.
The reason I had a conversation with him was to make a deal, not anything else.
He wanted to hand over the three-year monopoly and the right to na the potion in exchange for all the profits from the patent.
‘Of course I’m thankful.’
I did not create potions for the public good.
So, any transaction that would benefit was always welco.
Of course, the monopoly may reduce my inco right now, but I have to take a long-term view.
Besides, he gave a separate down paynt, so it was a satisfactory transaction in many ways.
“You’re almost there.”
I covered the book I was reading, put it in my bag, and bruised myself for a mont at the scenery outside the train window.
It’s a place I visited the day after I moved in earnest, so it’s a bit bland.
I was going to the Binharz National Cetery now.
“This station is Heartbell Station… … .”
Shortly thereafter, the announcent was heard and I got up from my seat.
Originally, I had to wait because the profits from the patent had not been settled yet, but thanks to William’s hard work on the down paynt, I ca running here as soon as the weekend ca.
The ti has finally co to get the signet ring back.
‘The question is whether the other party will accept the deal.’
I had fallen out with the eting because of the last incident, so I wondered if the gravekeeper Piman would be friendly to .
Fortunately, Piman was not a mber of the coven, but he was also a warlock, so it wasn’t easy.
Nickel’s experience when he took out the corpse didn’t seem like it would be easy to get back.
‘I have no regrets about bringing Nickel. If it hadn’t been for Nickel in the first place, he would have died in Voloric.’
By all accounts, it was an advantage, since he had saved his life with a now-defunct signet ring.
“Let’s keep our minds straight. The preparations are over.”
I hypnotized myself and rode to the National Cetery.
And inside the wagon, I made so preparations in advance to prepare for the unexpected.
Arriving in front of the National Cetery, I put the sa password as last ti.
Then, unlike the last ti, the gatekeeper added a word at the end.
“There are guests inside.”
Are there any passengers?
If the gatekeeper just said there were people, it ant there were civilians inside, and if there were guests, it ant that black magic officials were visiting.
‘A black mage who visits the graveyard is a necromancer? Who is it?’
There weren’t many Necromancers, so I was curious about their identities.
When I went inside, I saw a wide spread graveyard, and no one was there.
Instead, Piman’s hut in the far corner stood out.
‘Are they talking inside?’
It was true that I was nervous because I didn’t know who was visiting.
I looked around the cetery for a while, thinking I should wait.
Roughly calculated, there were as many as 3,000 tombs.
I carefully looked at the nas of the tombs to see if there might be a case like nickel.
‘That’s great. It’s not that I manage this every day.’
Of course, it is the best environnt to hide your identity and practice necromancy.
But I don’t feel particularly envious of it.
Lately, I’ve been growing my mastery of necromancy just by summoning Nickel.
‘I never expected that it would happen.’
After Nickel evolved, when Nickel was summoned, his proficiency went up faster than before.
It seems to have happened because I was ministering to an undead that did not fit my level, but it was a positive variable.
While I was checking the nas of the tombs for a while, I felt soone co out of the hut.
jump.
“okay. I wish you well on this day.”
Piman ca out of the cabin and said to soone who was about to leave.
And the one who tried to leave silently without answering was a rcenary, not a warlock.
How do you know if you’re a rcenary?
That’s because it’s a character that causes big events in the ga.
‘Why are you here?’
Bloody Dan.
It was a man with untrimd, silver-gray hair tied back loosely and wearing a mask.
Although he is a rcenary, his main custors are only warlocks like us and those with a bad back.
He was a representative villain character who did anything for money and did not hesitate to do cruel things.
‘He’s a pretty skilled rcenary, and his personality is cruel, and he’s good at running away using a mask.’
The problem was that he caused a major accident.
The accident was related to my life and life, so a conflict arose without my knowledge.
‘This guy causes a war.’
War.
The kidnapping of a child using a mask triggers a war between the Empire and barbarian tribes.
‘I’d rather now… … .’
“hmm?”
He looked back at to see if he felt my gaze.
Along with that, my troubles only deepened.
… … to kill?
