I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 229: WEALTH

In Portus Aureus Province which was once the territory of Marquis Nate of the Kingdom of Ray which is no longer there since Elos and Halon destroyed the Kingdom of Ray, Portus Aureus Province which was once very lagging due to its location on the border has become very advanced.

In terms of both economic and development, the Portus Aureus Province is not inferior to the surrounding provinces.

Even the capital of Portus Aureus and Novus Island had become very advanced cities, there were many merchants who came and went or adventurers who rushed to the labyrinth.

Despite being very advanced, Nors felt he was too old to be governor here. Therefore, he planned to resign from the governorship after 5 years and let Elos choose who would replace him.

But for some time the peace of the Nors had to be ruined because of the traders who suddenly raised the price of the goods they sold, the residents who had previously started to live prosperous again had difficulty because the price of everyday necessities they had to buy such as food increased to make it difficult for them to buy.

Experiencing this problem, the residents immediately sent a letter to Nors as governor to act to overcome this oddity. However, they have been informed that only objects sold in Portus Aureus Province have increased, while other provinces have the same price.

At the beginning of receiving this report, then Nors was very surprised. He never thought that these merchants could be so brave, even though Elos who had the iron law was so famous that people no longer dared to commit crimes such as accepting bribes or anything.

Without any hesitation, Nors planned to purge these merchants in accordance with the existing law, after all increasing the price of goods for no apparent reason is a violation of existing law so that they can be arrested.

But in the middle of the road to make an arrest, Nors received word that the chief of these merchants was a close friend of Elos on earth so he dared to act arrogantly like this.

Nors did not immediately believe this news, however, if the chief of these merchants were really friends of Elos then why did not Elos tell him anything.

But when he saw the image of Elos with the chief merchant on earth, Nors hesitated.

On the one hand the Nors did not believe that the chief merchant who harmed the population was a friend of Elos, while on the other hand there was evidence that was clear enough to make Nors did not dare to act recklessly. If the chief of these merchants were really friends of Elos and Nors arresting him, then the person in law would be Nors.

Therefore, Nors could only send a message to the Capital of Dyremann which in the end the letter was received directly by the finance minister, Lust. In fact Nors sent the letter to Elos, but in the absence of Elos in the Capital of Dyremann then Lust had the power to examine the matter in place of Elos.

When he learned that the chief merchant was an old friend of Elos from the earth, Lust also did not dare to act recklessly, he could only report directly on the matter to Elos.

So this is what happened before Elos could receive a letter that the chief merchant Yazou and Gisha used their friendship with Elos on earth to take advantage of the inhabitants of the territory of Elos, moreover, they did not tell Elos any trouble at all.

...----------------...

But among the buildings in this city, there is a house, rather a very large villa. Although this villa is not as big as a palace, but the size is really large compared to most villas in the world, even the mayor's villa from this city is not as big as this villa.

In the villa there are several people who are busy working as servants, they clean all the things in the villa, especially expensive items such as paintings or precious jars belonging to the villa's master.

In the main room of the villa, there was a young man and woman sitting in the room drinking tea and eating some cakes that the waiter had placed on the table before.

The young woman was busy counting the gold coins on the table with a happy face, while the young man had a worried face.

After making sure there was no one in this room but them, the young man said hesitantly "Gisha, do you think we are overreacting? After all our actions this time are too big, it's only a matter of time until Elos can realize it".

The young man and woman in this room are none other than Yazou and Gisha, friends of Elos from earth.

Ever since they started deceiving these merchants, they had already acted like a noble.

Yazou wears a fancy dress with some jewels located on her while Gisha wears a noble dress which she buys at a very expensive price, in addition, he wears a lot of jewelry or gold throughout his body.

Gisha looked at Yazou with disdain "What? Aren't you a man? Then why are you more cowardly than I am a woman? Yazou, listen to this carefully that we won't be staying here long! Did you forget that we are here according to the duty given by Goddess Sares to take as much money from the territory of Elos and escape, our goal is to make Elos suffer huge financial losses that hurt the economy of the region".

Yazou still said hesitantly "But didn't Goddess Sares say that 10,000 gold coins was enough? We already have more than 20,000 gold coins, so I think it's better we go back before Elos realizes we are".

"Yazou, are you stupid?", shouted Gisha furiously, he pointed at the gold coins he was counting with greedy eyes "You see this well, you see this well, when we return then Goddess Sares must have taken those 10,000 gold coins for herself. Then what will happen to us? We must be poor again! This world is not the earth, without power or money no one cares about us, even we can be thrown away when they think we are no longer useful".

Hearing that, Yazou could not help but feel in agreement. Since the failure of Serun, Goddess Sares has not considered them anymore. There were even signs that the Goddess Sares was planning to throw them away, therefore Yazou knew that she had to have her own power or wealth in this world in order to survive.

"What do you think we should do before we go back?", asked Yazou again seeking advice from Gisha.

"Isn't it obvious, we need more wealth!" said Gisha excitedly towards the gold coins she had in her hands.
