Chapter 1902 – 1902. The Dark Moon
“The former owner hastily left the city. Roughly speaking, it can be said that he bought a lot of grudges. Enough to have to run away at night. These machines told us to take care of them. Well, it’s common in neo-London.”
I stared at the machine. The machine was made of pure science and technology, not magical engineering. There is no reason to use magic engineering machines to produce simple things. The problem is that since it’s not magic engineering, I don’t know what kind of machine it is.
– It is a beverage production machine. It seems to be made by mixing various chemicals with grape juice as a base.
YuRia gave me the answer. What is the reason she taught me at this point?
“… It is a machine for producing beverages based on grape juice.”
“Oh. You got it right. How else did you know it was grape-based?”
– I felt the scent of grapes.
“It smelled like grapes.”
I followed YuRia’s words. I couldn’t smell anything in my nose.
Marik looked at me with admiration.
“You have a great sense. Your eyes are different too. This was a beverage factory. The drink itself was sweet and delicious, but that’s not to say that it was popular.”
– The machine is too clean. It doesn’t seem like they did a lot of drinking.
After listening to YuRia, I checked the machine. The machine was so clean, as she said. If it’s a normal factory, you’re going to run the factory all day. It’s only natural to make money. The 2nd and 3rd shifts are not for nothing.
“This is not a place that only produces pure beverages. Is beverage production a gimmick?”
Gillian said. He was looking at one side of the factory with interest. A place that is toxic cleaner and more empty. Originally, it was thought to be a place to store beverage ingredients.
“Haha. Mr. Gillian is also sharp. You’re right. The previous owner manufactured junk food here.”
“Jerky food? Is it a drug?”
“It’s not a drug. Let’s say it’s a real fake using chemicals.”
Grape drink. FALSE. It’s not a drug, but it’s just as profitable. At this point, I can’t help but notice.
“Fake wine. That would have been money. I understand why the former owner ran away in a hurry. Perhaps among the scammers there are nobles as well. The former owner isn’t even a sane guy.”
Gillian chuckled.
Marik didn’t really respond. He casually wandered around the inside of the factory.
“Water is important as it is a beverage factory, but unfortunately, water must be obtained separately. The quality of tap water is not very good. Otherwise, you have to order a water purification machine and put it in.”
“How did the previous owner get and use the water?”
“I don’t know that much. Seeing that there is no water purification machine, it seems that they must have been separately obtained.”
“Would the impostor do that? Bona Mana, he must have used tap water as it was. He’s a public official who came out of gratitude. If you stab him with some money, he’ll shut up on his own.”
I agree with Gillian in this opinion. First of all, the cost of purified water will be formidable as much as running a beverage factory on the surface. It is not too late for public officials to take action when a problem arises.
“This is the management office. All machines in the factory can be operated from here. The generator over there is also up to date. It’s a small and cheap model, but it should be enough to run a factory.”
All bathrooms and warehouses were also checked.
I decided to purchase this plant. I liked the structure of the factory, but what I liked most of all was how clean it was.
Gillian and I met eyes. He seems to like this factory too. When we have a snowball fight, Marik in the middle smiles.
“Well, this factory costs 400 million credits. It’s a quick sale, so the price is low. I don’t need to tell you the reason for the sudden sale.”
The S block house I currently live in is worth 48 million credits. In this case, it would be better to buy a house and convert it into a factory, but Neo London’s law required factories to be built only on factory grounds.
“I’ll buy it for 430 million.”
I said. As long as there is a competitor, buying it for 400 million credits is ridiculous.
“450 million. I’m sorry, but I have to own this plant. Isn’t 450 million or more burdensome for you too? That money could buy another factory.”
“I want to give it back to you literally.”
“This is pretty urgent.”
“460 million. You’re not the only one in a hurry.”
Raised the price without backing down. A calculator was pounding in my head. My budget is 300 million credits. The remaining 100 million was planned to be borrowed. You will be able to borrow up to 200 million without difficulty. No matter how you look at it, I’m a 5th level wizard.
“You know that going to 500 million is stupid, right? Let’s do this. I’ll give you 10 million credits. Give me the factory. I feel good because I bought it for 400 million, and you feel good because I got 10 million credits as a bonus. Isn’t that a win-win strategy?”
Gillian’s suggestion was flimsy. Because nobody likes free money. Marik next to him frowned, but he watched silently without interjecting.
“I suggest the other way around. I’ll give you 20 million credits, so give it up.”
“… Under. Are we going to do it eventually? There’s nothing good about fighting pride…”
“Why. Are you going to fight?”
Mana accelerates through 52 mana rods. After restoring the broken mana rod, there were 50 mana rods, but two more were made through training. The feeling that all the mana rods inside me were operating normally was amazing.
Gillian’s maid, Barbara, grabs the spear. The moment she opens her astral she will be pierced with a spear. The distance is too close. Already I am within Barbara’s distance. However, if you use the moment, you can respond sufficiently.
“Stop. Don’t do this here I made a mistake.”
Gillian raised his hand. I exhaled and calmed Mana.
“This is true. It’s a pain in the ass. Get out of here at once Don’t we need to organize our thoughts? Why don’t we meet and talk after that?”
“Not a bad proposition. Do that.”
Gillian’s proposal was accepted.
The reason was simple. There was no information about Gillian. It would be foolish to negotiate with pride here. And Gillian must have thought so too.
We simultaneously turned our heads to look at Marik.
“Our company wants to sell this factory right away, but since the two customers are like that, we can’t help it. Three days. Please give me an answer within three days. Can’t wait any longer. If you do not give me an answer within three days, I will throw it at auction.”
We parted each other in a carriage.
Afterwards, I mobilized my connections to find out about Gillian Hitech.
He was said to be a transporter, but he was also a smuggler. He is not affiliated with any criminal organization. He is a mercenary, summoner, and tamer. He made a chimera out of the corpses of his comrades, and he was kicked out of the mercenaries. It is said that from the time he was kicked out, he had wheat lessons with a female mercenary named Barbara. Barbara. It was a maid with gray hair. He was a 4th level wizard at the time.
‘This is information from three years ago. It’s not strange that he’s in 5th grade now.’
It wasn’t that easy to raise the magic level, but there was nothing wrong with paying attention.
‘You’re similar to me in that you just settled in Neo-London.’
His reputation in Neo-London was bad. It seems that he was hit quite a bit while smuggling. I checked to see if there was a background, but it was related to some nobles. However, the aristocrats were not close enough to serve as a background.
‘There is no back stomach. This also works for me. Gillian must have investigated me too, so you know.’
How will Gillian get the information about me?
Woo woo woo.
The watch vibrates. YuRia was preparing black tea in front of me, so the number of calls was limited.
‘It’s a number I’ve never seen before.’
Once received
“Who are you?”
-Me : yes. Gillian. No matter how much I think about it, I can’t seem to give up the factory. I’ll give you 30 million credits. I will own the factory.
“Eat 3 credits and leave? No wonder. I’ll give you 40 million credits, so stay away from the factory.”
– Opinions continue to diverge. It will be the same even if we discuss it later. Let me give you a piece of advice.
“Advice?”
-If you don’t want to get lost, just give up, you idiot! Do some chicken business! If you get in my way one more time, I’ll throw you in a barrel of oil and fry you! How is it, did you take my advice?
“Ah. Of course. Isn’t that what I mean by popping you out? Fry over an electric fire to make the outside crispy and the inside moist. Even if you look like this, you are the owner of a chicken restaurant. I am confident in frying.”
-Under. Be careful on the road at night. Dangerous beasts are mostly active at night.
“It would be good to be careful of the sky both during the day and at night. Lightning does not cover day and night.”
Pop.
I hung up first. I could never forgive him for hanging up the phone sooner than I did.
I get up from my seat and tidy up my clothes.
‘I have already found out Gillian’s whereabouts. Outside the zone. It’s a perfect location for smuggling, not too far from Neo-London, but not too close.’
In other words, a place without security. It was a place where there was no sanctions even if you go and fight.
‘I’ll go and kill you right now. If you’re smuggling, you’ll find some nice stuff. It will be a windfall.’
“Yuria. I’m sorry, but I’ll have tea later.”
“I will go too.”
Yuria turned around and was already wearing a maid outfit for going out.
“… What?”
She said, “She has obtained her second class knight’s license from the Knight’s Training Institute. She will not be a nuisance to her master. She left the knight training center and her license was suspended, but her skills are not going anywhere.”
I thought for a moment and then nodded. It was because he remembered Barbara, Gillian’s maid. Gillian, believed to be a 5th-class wizard, and Barbara, a maid from a mercenary. It seems difficult to deal with the two alone. Yuria would be helpful.
“… This is not fair It’s a crime. You don’t have to get your hands dirty.”
“I can do anything for my master. It’s nothing more than getting your hands dirty.”
YuRia spoke without hesitation and smiled. It was a strong smile.
