The Young Lord Who Was Disengaged Focuses on His Territory - The Young Lord Who Was Disengaged Focuses on His Territory chapter 99

99 – Episode 99 Food Independence

Leave the production of new firearms to Debai,

This time I visited the Development Department.

This place was also noisy in many ways.

On one side, the blueprint was laid out and discussed,

On the other side, disassembly and assembly were repeated.

Some people even tasted gunpowder.

“Keuhum!”

It was only after I put on an artificial pretense of popularity that the employees saw me.

“Lord So!”

“Are you here! Lord Su!”

The sparkling eyes of the employees shone brighter.

They came rushing in and surrounded me.

“What? Come on?”

“Young Lord, please take a look at this.”

“Lord So, right here.”

“Lord So, …”

“Soyoung…”

I haven’t been able to visit for a while due to urban development, so I guess I have a lot of questions.

‘I already told you everything I know…’

We are modern people,

I was drafted into the Korean army,

Fire a gun there,

I also tried cleaning firearms,

I also tried disassembling it.

But that’s it.

I am a liberal arts high school student.

Graduated from the Department of Economics,

I worked at a small to medium-sized company that had nothing to do with weapons.

“Young Master So, the barrel part. Therefore…”

“Lord So, I have a question about the chamber…”

“Lord So, trigger…”

There were already many questions from the development department that exceeded my level of knowledge.

“If I knew, would I have left it to you?”

In an instant, the hall became quiet.

“Don’t rely on me anymore. “Because I told you everything I know.”

Jeobbuk. Jerk.

Let’s take a step,

Employees stepped aside like the Red Sea parting.

“And I want to see the salt grass field. “Someone to guide me?”

“I will do it!”

“I am a saltweed expert!”

From Noble mtl dot com

“I…”

The venue became noisy again.

.

.

Previously, salt vinegar was extracted from monster corpse disposal sites.

This was upgraded by the development department,

Now, a new space called salt grass field has been created.

“Um… This place…”

It was a very unpleasant place both visually and olfactorily.

Monster corpses were scattered throughout the field.

Human feces was mixed in there.

“Still in development?”

“Salt vinegar production has already doubled. However, it can be increased further by finding an appropriate combination and conducting additional research.”

“Tell Isaac to prepare a place for the salt field. And… The people who work there are told to pay a lot of money.”

“I understand.”

.

.

City Iron.

Accommodation.

“I went to the salt field for no reason.”

When I closed my eyes to sleep, I thought of the salt field.

“Ah… I think it smells like a salt field too.”

When you have trouble sleeping,

A small voice was heard outside the door.

“Lord So, are you sleeping?”

I got up from my seat.

If you came here at this time, it wouldn’t be normal.

“What’s going on?”

“That’s the guest who came.”

“At night? Who?”

“This is Princess 2.”

“Alencia?”

Alencia was waiting in the hotel restaurant.

From buildings to furniture.

An ordinary space made entirely of wood.

Nevertheless, Alencia suited the location.

‘Is the face the completion of the atmosphere?’

Because I had a pretty face, I didn’t feel awkward wherever I went.

“Hello, Alencia.”

She said hello and sat down across from her.

She also exchanged eye contact with Marie, who was standing behind her.

“How did you get to this far away place?”

“The Church of the Moon has been in contact.”

“Are you talking about Alencia?”

“That’s right. They…”

To summarize what Alencia said,

“Are you saying that if they help eliminate me, they will support Alencia’s competition for successor?”

“That’s right.”

Her coming here means that I rejected her offer.

“Thank you.”

In response to my greeting, Alencia flipped her hair behind her.

“It’s natural. Because you are mine.”

“Yes?”

Am I from Alencia?

If we have to be honest, isn’t it neutral?

Giving an ambiguous answer,

The atmosphere in the restaurant almost became awkward.

Her Marie covered her mouth,

If only I hadn’t let out a surprised voice.

“Oh my. Oh.”

“Marie. Stop.”

“I’m sorry. Lady.”

Alencia regained her bearings and opened her mouth.

With that, the atmosphere became lighter and calmed down.

“I would have suggested it to Benia too. So be careful going forward. “You might get a different offer than I did.”

Benia’s face came to mind.

A gentle smile and eye smile.

“Thank you for the advice.”

After the serious story,

Alencia spoke in a lighter tone.

“You must be hungry after coming a long way.”

Are you hungry?

Are you asking for a midnight snack?

This is not my personality to begin with.

Because her self-care was so thorough, she didn’t eat food at night.

“Ma’am, you haven’t eaten anything since morning.”

“Is it because of me?”

Allen Xia avoided her gaze.

She looked down to her side and opened her mouth.

“My time was just precious. “It’s not a close road, so you’ll have to get there quickly.”

If it is not close, you can have someone do it for you.

But why did you have to come in person?

Anyway, I decided not to ask any more questions.

Because it looked difficult.

“I will prepare food right away.”

Food comes out,

Alencia ate according to noble etiquette.

Even though I skipped lunch and dinner, I wasn’t in a hurry at all.

After the meal is over, She even provided accommodation for us to stay.

In the next few days,

Alencia looked at the iron.

However, she did not visit the major facilities such as the Central Workshop, the Gun Manufacturing Factory, or the Development Department.

“The market food is delicious. “I also ate meat.”

“As you know, I also raise a lot of livestock on the farmland I operate.”

“That’s right.”

Then I went into the store next door.

She left the city only after staying for four days.

“They say time is precious…”

After seeing her off, she returned to her lodgings.

‘The Church of the Moon is targeting me?’

It has not been long since she took advantage of the Count Valois family.

Still, she moved again.

‘Are you saying you hate me that much?’

By interfering with their plans?

Or is it because you are a member of the Earth Church?

‘First of all, we need to hurry up the expansion of farmland.’

Finishing work at Iron,

I prepared to leave.

But,

“Are you saying Benia is here?”

“Yes. “You are waiting in the restaurant now.”

Alencia came to visit, and she came all the way to Benia.

Let’s go into the restaurant,

Benia got up from the chair.

“It’s been a while since I saw you. “Mr. Elwin.”

“It’s been a while since I saw you. Benia.”

The reason Benia came was the same as Alencia.

The Church of the Moon approached Benia,

She said she would help in the race for successor.

The price, of course, was my removal.

“I guess the reason you said that to me means that you rejected it.”

“That’s right. Elwin is an indispensable person to Ireland.”

She raised her head and looked into Benia’s eyes.

I could feel the sincerity in her eyes.

He is an indispensable person.

Even my position as the minor lord of the Frontier was in jeopardy.

Now I can’t believe I’m the person Ireland really needs.

And Benia said those things in a very pleasant way.

“I feel really good talking with Benia.”

“Is that so? hehehehe.”

Benia covered her mouth and laughed.

A face similar to Alencia,

Blue hair like hers.

‘They look so similar, but why is the atmosphere so different?’

After that, Benia was considerate of me and continued the conversation.

Intermittently mixing in some not-too-excessive compliments.

I was completely absorbed in the conversation.

I realized once again how enjoyable it is to talk to people.

Besides Alencia, it’s been a long time since I felt comfortable making eye contact.

Benia’s gaze shifted to the side as she looked at me.

For a moment, I felt regretful.

I followed her gaze and turned her head.

“It’s already dark.”

“I see. “It was such a fun time that I didn’t even notice the time passing.”

“hehehe. “Are you saying something like that?”

“Yes?”

Benia covered her mouth, laughed for a while, and then straightened her posture again.

“I am very interested in Elwin.”

“Are you talking to me?”

“You used to purchase slaves, but now you receive wanderers, right? And expand your farmland.”

She nodded in affirmation.

“I guess that’s to solve Ireland’s food problem?”

“That’s right.”

“As we have become accustomed to the abilities we received from the Goddess, agricultural land is now expanding faster than the population growth rate.”

He said he was very interested in me, and it seems to be true.

I knew more details than I thought.

“There is a great plain area in the Vampire Territory.”

“What do you mean…?”

Benia spread her three fingers.

“I will not collect taxes for 30 years. Then, Elwin can take most of the farmland income.”

Development of agricultural land in Vampire Territory.

The moment I heard the proposal, several thoughts came to mind.

1) Rapid increase in food production.

Large land and large population are solved.

If I go and get rid of the devil, food production will be possible right away.

2) Quick mission completion.

Skill points earned by completing missions are the key to growth.

The faster you complete the mission, the faster you grow.

3) Safety in Ireland.

If food becomes self-reliant, we will not be swayed by continental powers.

Then, troublesome things like previous duels will disappear.

4) The two princesses’ repayment.

The two princesses rejected the church’s offer and chose me.

This will also be repaid.

I gathered my thoughts and raised my head.

I could see Benia’s nervous expression.

“I would appreciate your suggestion.”

“Really? Thank you. “Mr. Elwin.”

“However, at Benia’s request. “I will fall in love with Alencia’s request.”

It’s a good thing for me too,

It is an achievement even for the princess.

Because he persuaded me to create farmland in Vampire Territory.

Benia’s smile faded.

She got up from her seat and came next to me.

Then she put her hand on my shoulder.

“Elwin, you are strictly neutral, right? Would she have done so even if her brother had suggested it instead of me?”

I couldn’t answer.

Because although it is neutral, it is closer to Alencia.

While she was hesitating, Benia’s hand passed over her shoulder and came down to her hand.

She held my hand with her soft hand.

“Let’s go together.”

“Yes? “Where are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“I have to go to Vampire Territory. “You decided to create farmland.”

“Ah… That…”

“My carriage is comfortable. “There is less shaking and the interior is comfortably decorated.”

She slowly dragged my hand.
