Chapter 352 – 352. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
352. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
He looked around him, took a look at his eyes, and finally said with a faint smile.
“It was a conversation about herbs. I am currently pursuing a business growing herbs.”
“It would be difficult to make as much money as we had hoped for growing herbs.”
“If you think normally, yes! But the herbal plantations I discovered are special! Even if you plant the same herb, the effect is much better than others.”
“Is there such a land?”
“There is! I can’t tell you where it is, but it definitely exists! My guess is that the land is probably where aura flows. It is the land where young grass grows.”
“… You have discovered a great piece of land. Wouldn’t it be better to sell the land to the nobles?”
“Of course I thought of that too! However, the location of the land is very deep, so it is not very easy to cultivate. I also calculated that it would be more profitable to grow and sell herbs myself.”
Maykeld spoke enthusiastically about the herbal business. What herbs to grow, what period of time, how to sell them, and so on, and so on. There were a lot of nobles who had invested money around them, so he had no choice but to be desperate.
“By the way, wasn’t the Maykeld family originally from hunters?”
“Yeah, it is. By the way, do you know about our family? Didn’t I tell you earlier that you’ve never heard my name?”
“It’s just the first time I’ve heard the name Vasive Maykeld. I know something about the Maykeld family.”
“Go, thank you. Baron. To think that you do not forget and remember our fallen family….”
Maykeld swallowed a gulp and hid her nervous face. I don’t think I would have expected to meet a noble who knew about the Maykeld family here.
“How is Mr. Geold Maykeld?”
“… His father died 5 years ago. He climbed the mountain and he stumbled.”
“This. Rest in peace. But why didn’t you contact the nobles around you?”
“That is… It’s complicated. The Maykeld family had already become obscure, and his father was reluctant to do so. I recently started working in the city. First of all, make the top with the money you have…. I kept saying I could….”
He was nervous, but the more he spoke, the more he regained his confidence and spoke in a powerful tone. The nobles around him looked at him with sparkling eyes.
‘Good looks and excellent speech. A fun story that reminds me of a heroic story.’
This guy was a born cheater.
“You are amazing.”
Haha. To hear such praise from Baron Prucus, who is called the actual owner of the Korea Merchant…. Today is a very pleasant day!”
“Listening to Baron Maykeld makes me want to invest too. Do you have any herbs from that herb colony?”
At my words, he was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled full of confidence.
Haha. There is. Because it’s such a precious thing… I always carry it with me. I felt like I would lose it if I left it somewhere.”
“Would you like to sell me one? Check it out for yourself and if it’s really good… I will invest 3 billion ner.”
“Three billion… ?!”
Not only Maykeld, but also the nobles around him were surprised. 3 billion was a very large amount of money for those who had not yet properly inherited the title.
“Yeah, this is also Baron Prucus. To say such a large amount of money so lightly….”
Maykeld pulled his handkerchief from his bosom. The luxurious handkerchief contained medicinal herbs. It was a black herb. Outwardly, it looks like a burnt twig.
“It is an herb called Black Saint. It is shunned because of its black appearance, but it is an all-purpose herb that has a positive effect on almost all symptoms. The main ingredient of the universal medicine is black saint.”
“Ah…. Okay. I know. I will pay you three million ners. Are you okay?”
“You don’t have to pay anything, but….”
“Nothing is free in this world. I can’t pay right now because I don’t have the money, but I’ll pay after the banquet in my name.”
I got the herbs from Maykeld. Sniffed his nose. It smelled of ordinary herbs. I took a bite of the herb.
“… Under.”
“Baron. Can’t you feel the power?”
“Strength? What is power How dare you feed me this? You impostor!”
My words surprised everyone around me. Maykeld, on the other hand, was cool. He said, looking at me calmly, unfazed.
“You’re a cheater! What does that mean all of a sudden!”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?! You’ve drugged the herbs! To make people mistakenly believe that the moment I take the herb, I have taken the elixir! Canned herbs from a land with mystical powers? It’s not that I can’t tell you because of business, but I can’t tell you because it doesn’t exist!”
“Baron Pruckus! Don’t insult me! The herb is an herb plucked from the plantation! It’s a drug… ! That sounds crazy! Do you think I don’t know Baron Pruckus’ intentions? You must want to frame me as a criminal and take away my herb fields!”
“In the first place, I doubt whether you are a passive Maykeld! You bear no resemblance to any of the recorded features of the Maykeld family!”
“Can’t you see this ring on my finger?! This ring is proof that I am the rightful owner of the Maykeld family!”
Goseong came and went.
From Maykeld’s point of view, I couldn’t back down at all. The moment you step back, you will admit your fraud.
Impersonating an aristocrat is a serious crime as serious as treason.
As a voice louder than the sound of music rang out, more and more nobles paid attention to us.
“What is going on?”
“What are you doing in front of His Highness… Tsk tsk. Your dignity is questionable.”
“For a moment. Isn’t the author the third of the Prucus family?”
“The third of the Pruckus family… The one at the top of Korea?”
“You are arrogant. Where are you raising your voice…. Tsk.”
“Do you know who the man screaming in front of him is?”
“They say he’s Baron Maykeld.”
“The Maykeld family… ? Did such a family exist?”
“They say it’s a fallen nobleman…. It’s ugly anyway. If we are going to fight, we will go out and fight.”
Hehe. I’m having fun. It was boring because it was always a banquet, but I never thought an event like this would happen…. It’s funnier than a joke told by a clown.”
And finally, the turmoil reached the ears of the king, Corocalis Rapelli.
Thud. Thud.
The chancellor, Makellos, who was standing next to him, struck the floor with his cane. Although it was not a loud voice, all the nobles who were sensitive to power looked at the king.
The king spoke in the banquet hall, which became quiet.
“Baron Eugene Prockers, Baron Basib Maykeld. Come before me, you two.”
“Yes. Majesty.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Me and Maykeld answered.
The nobles who were blocking the road split on both sides and made the road to the king. It was a pretty interesting sight.
I walked confidently in the eyes of hundreds of nobles, and Maykeld tried to hide the cold sweat.
Thump thump.
I heard the sound of his heart beating fast.
I knelt on one knee and prostrated myself in front of the king and prime minister. Maykeld, who was very nervous, followed me to prostration a beat late.
I slightly turned my gaze to check Ention. As long as the king directly steps forward, he will not step forward. Although I use the surname of Purcus, I am a noble with a title.
Ntion was staring at me calmly, and Elaine pretended to be calm, but her eyes were worried. Gent was laughing quietly. Expecting me to be fucked.
“Baron Pruckers, Baron Maykeld. Have you forgotten what day it is today?”
“No, Your Highness!”
“Majesty! This is Pruckus M….”
My voice and his voice overlapped.
“Quiet!”
The king frowned at him and shouted. Pretty good charisma for a subject that has gotten old. I quietly shut my mouth, and Maykeld shuddered at him.
“You explain everything. If it’s trivial, both of you will have to pay the price. First of all, Baron Pruckus! You explain first!”
“Your Royal Highness. Vasive Maykeld… No, that unknown person is impersonating a nobleman. They are also borrowing money by spreading lies about growing herbs in mysterious lands.”
“… Impersonating an aristocrat?”
The king asked.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t hear it, it was that I was dumbfounded. And at the same time, the atmosphere of the aristocrats who are watching us becomes ferocious. Impersonating nobles is the same as stealing their power, and it is tantamount to rebelling against them.
“Baron Prucus, tell me in detail. I hope this is not a claim that is made without evidence.”
“Of course, there are reasons. Baron Maykeld’s distinctive features are dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. However, the author has black hair and light brown eyes. Obviously different. Also, the Maykeld family is a family that started out as a hunter, and although they are nobles, they are known as a family that has been doing the work of hunters for generations. But the author is not a hunter. The body itself is not trained at all.”
Some nobles from the samurai family, who were knights, nodded. Having reached a certain level, they can distinguish whether an opponent is a soldier or a citizen just by looking at their bodies.
“Baron Maykeld.”
“I feel bad! Majesty! My hair and eyes were inherited from his mother! Also, not being a hunter, the family business ended in my father’s generation. My father told me to do what I wanted to do! This ring and papers acknowledge that I am the head of the Maykeld family!”
He handed over the ring and old papers. The documents must have been received when the title was awarded in the distant past.
“The royal coat of arms is stamped on it. This document is real. Baron Pruckus. Baron May Keld has proven himself.”
“His Highness the King. You cannot prove your identity with it. Those rings and papers must have been stolen from the Maykeld family. Or killed and stolen. Please send people you trust to the location of the Maykeld family to investigate.”
“Good night. Impersonating an aristocrat is a serious matter, so I will send someone right away.”
Maykeld sighed quietly. He knew his life was at stake. But those two eyes are not the eyes of a resigned human being. He sees that he still has a chance.
“Baron Maykeld. What about the mysterious land and herbs?”
“That….”
Maykeld, swallowing dry spit, explained as if he were talking to young nobles. However, unlike the young nobles, the king quietly listened to his words with sunken eyes.
“Her….”
“Tsk tsk.”
A few clever nobles noticed that he was a trickster. And so will the king. However, the King looked at me without making a hasty judgment.
“Baron Pruckus. Do you have any proof that Baron Maykeld’s words are false?”
“There is. This black saint is an herb from the mysterious land that Baron Maykeld talks about. This herb has been applied with drugs that excite people. It is for the purpose of creating the illusion that eating herbs and getting healthy.”
“… Chancellor. Call the meaning.”
“Yes. Majesty.”
Maykeld broke into a cold sweat and shivered through his body.
A fisherman appeared. He meticulously inspected the Black Saint herbs, cut and chewed some of the herbs, and discovered what they were.
“It is a drug. A recently discovered drug called orlanda, it causes hallucinations when ingested in large quantities.”
“…… It’s concluded. Baron Maykeld. … No, catch this impostor and put him in jail! The execution will proceed after the banquet is over and another investigation is conducted!”
The Royal Knights seized Maykeld’s body.
“Majesty! No! Majesty! This is all Baron Prucus’ conspiracy! A conspiracy to take away my herb fields! The drug on the herb must have just been buried by Baron Pruckus! Majesty! Majesty! Think again! Majesty!!”
Maykeld struggled as he was dragged away.
“Majesty. Thank you for your wise decision.”
“Not. To think that a fraudster impersonating an aristocrat would enter the royal castle confidently. Rather than being angry, I am dumbfounded.”
“Majesty. There are people who have fallen victim to scammers.”
“Okay…. Damaged money must be returned to the owner. Those who have been victimized by swindlers, please come forward.”
At the king’s command, two young nobles came out hesitantly.
“…… Are there two of them?”
The king narrowed his brows and looked at the nobles. Of course, it wasn’t just the two victims. I heard that there are at least 7 victims according to Yuria.
‘… Bibi Heolis didn’t even come out.’
I looked at Bibi Heolis. Bibi looked at me with her quivering eyes and then lowered her head.
I can guess why nobles don’t come out. Because she’s on the sidelines. This will continue to be talked about in social circles for a while, and it is certain that you will be ridiculed for the rest of your life.
The next two aristocrats must have come out of necessity because money is urgent.
‘Should I visit you tonight?’
My eyes did not easily fall off the baboon with her head down.
