The Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

CH 28TH

"What's? Ruins Lantern?”

“Yes, I've already spoken to Guilmas in Heitburg, so all you have to do is make a formality and this will be done."

When I told father about the Ruins Lantern, he looked quite surprised.

“I know you will do something big someday, but ..... You did it sooner than I expected."

"Dad said it like it was a bad thing."

“Well, it's not bad, and as a father, I welcome him. ”

“Well, why don't you let your subordinates take care of that? They're paid well, aren't they?"

“Well, the salaries of civil servants in my region are as high as those in the imperial capital so I guess it's okay. …… We scold people if they, if you work too hard, they will destroy their bodies.”

“If we don't have enough people, why don't we hire more?"

“It's easy for you to say it. ……!"

Based on the chat, I made sure to deliver the key points. Now I don't have to worry about the Ruins of Lanterns. The old man looked like a genius, but he seemed to be quite good at organizing.

Well, it's natural to say that. If he wasn't smart, he wouldn't be able to become a northern general.

Thus, the Lantern Ruins and the failure of the buried resources ended.

“This will be your part, Hal. And wagon. It was left in front of the forest, and the staff took it home.”

A few days later, when I visited the guild, what was waiting for me was my pile of metal bars and carts.

"How do you get all this back?"

“I heard it was very troublesome. …… I'm ', so much so that even the entire staff of the guild can't keep up. , so they have to bring a lot of soldiers and adventurers of Heitburg.:

“It's hard to prevent them from being stolen."

“I heard that they gathered a group of trustworthy people and counted them correctly before transporting them, so there is no problem.”

"That's fun to know."

I hope Japanese management will learn from that.

"But we can't bring back that much metal."

“Guild has arranged a wagon to deliver it to the host house. ”

“Oh, I don't need to take her there alone. Thank you." Thank you."

“I also want you to accept that this is inevitable, but the cost of transporting it from the ruins to the mansion will be cut from the pile of ingots. I'm sorry I found out after the fact."

“Oh, well, how else. It's not like I can pay cash, and I'm grateful to you because I just need to pay a little off your ingot pile."

“And also, with the fulfillment of this request, Things have been promoted to D rank. Congratuations. This is the fastest record for a beginner adventurer.”

"Ah, really ? I only did one request D-rank.”

Although it was a great achievement, I was pretty sure the request itself was D rank.

“That was Gilmas' intention. He said it was futile to let a talented person like you do a low rank mission. ”

“Ah, so. …… ””

The guildmaster would likely say that.

“And not just ingots found.

"What?"

I wonder if there's more to it than that.

“It appears that the veins are still alive in the ruins, and a large amount of mithril resources have been found deep in the tunnel.”

“Wow, ....., that's amazing.”

“The Ruins of Lanterns are now officially owned by the Farenheit family, so the border area will be enriched from now on.

“This is not a gold rush, but a mithril fever.

It would be interesting if this led to economic development.I would be the one to trigger a historic economic boom.

“I wonder if my salary will go up as well.

Sally, the receptionist (who told me her name the other day), looked at me with wandering eyes and muttered.

"What does the payment system for union employees look like?"

"Then, I guess I'll go ahead and accept the request."

"Yes, good luck."

After parting ways with Sally, who had a sweet smile on her face, I decided to head straight for the request board. Now, what am I supposed to do today? I seem to be a newcomer with high expectations.

The next day, after obtaining a large amount of precious metal bars, I went to Mei's house for the first time after a long time.

As I walked down the road to the workshop, I felt that it had been a long time since I had been here, even though I had not been here for a few days. There were still a lot of people on the street, and the market street remained as crowded as ever, but there were products and food that were not here the last time I came here, and it made me realize that the world's economy is constantly revolving. .

"Old man, give me four skewers."

“Whoa, son, it's really generous. I'll give you some.”

Every time I go through here, I talk to an old man who SELLs a full-fledged skewer and pays him more than usual. He took a slightly larger skewer and gave it to me.

“Thank you for the food."

"Thank you very much!"

Since I have acquired enough wealth by chance to live a luxurious life without working for the rest of my life, no matter how many skewers I buy, it will not affect my wallet. Even if I bought all the street vendors' goods, the percentage of his expenses could be negligible.

I wouldn't really do it, because I'm sure some people would get in trouble if I did, but the fact that I don't have to worry about the price when shopping anymore is a big advantage.

I walked down a crowded street with skewers in my mouth, wondering what it was like to have a black card.

After a few minutes of walking, I arrived at the familiar Kajiyacho.I passed along the way until I arrived at a relatively large workshop a few blocks away. It was May's parents' house, Arendal Workshop.

"May, are you there?"

I called from the front to the second floor where Mei was. A moment later, the window opened and Mei peeked inside.

"I'm coming!"

Mei ran out of the front door with a voice as usual running down the stairs.

"It's been a long time!"

“Yes geez.

I don't think it's been long since I left, but it's been a very long few days for May. He ran out of the room and lunged at me with all his might.

“May, here's a souvenir for you.”

I had to pull it away from me and put the grilled meat skewers in each hand. I wasn't sure if the skewers did it, though, but he easily pulled himself out of my arms and started wriggling biting at the flesh.

"'Actually, I have obtained a lot of metal in the past few days."

"Oh yeah."

"You can tell me about that after you finish eating."

I warned the disrespectful May and continued.

“It's not just metal, you know. Do you know what this is? Mithril and Orihalcon.

“Mithril! Mifui!”

"alright. Finish your food first."

I won't listen to you, so I'll be quiet until Mei finishes eating.

“Mogumogu...., thanks for the food!”.

"Yes thank you. Do you know what mithril and Orihalcon are?

Judging from his reaction, I'd say he probably knew.

“Of course! Mithril was a very important treasure to the magicians, and orichalcon was also famous among dwarves as a transmission treasure!

"Hmmm. Not just famos among mankind."

I'm not sure what made this. It is not difficult to understand why even a child knows about mithril and orichalcohol.

“So, I want you to come to my house as soon as possible. Let's build a workshop on the secret base we've talked about before."

"I'm coming!"

“OK!

I brought Mei to my house. Meanwhile, my hand was grabbed by Mei, grasping as usual. Let's just say it's embarrassing enough for an adult my age to see people on the street staring at me with smiling faces.
