72 – Episode 72 Soap
Isolate patients,
For mild patients, use folk remedies,
For seriously ill patients, take a watery potion,
Distribute additional boiled food,
As soap usage increases,
All patients with infectious diseases that had spread to the refugee camp have recovered.
“Waaa!!”
“Waaa!!!”
Second Refugee Camp.
Where the epidemic was most severe.
I stood on the temporary platform.
“Waaa!!!”
“Long live Lord So!!!”
Is it because we overcame the crisis?
They cheered at me.
“A difficult crisis called an epidemic had arrived. Many people were sick, and many more had difficult times. But. “We overcame it.”
It was a difficult time.
We have been busy trying to overcome the epidemic.
I spent a lot of money.
“I stay up all night and focus on making soap for you guys…”
How difficult was it to make soap?
There were several crises,
All crises were overcome.
The crystals are scented soap.
It was a valuable invention that took my effort, time, and money.
But…
“Long live the Goddess of Earth!!!”
“Thank you God!!!”
When the word soap comes out,
People began to search for the Earth Goddess.
“Waaa!!!”
“Thank God!!!”
“Goddess of the Earth!!!”
After a while,
People’s cheers decreased.
“hehehehe. Therefore. “I drew a blueprint for scented soap…”
“Goddess!! Thank you for teaching me how to make soap!!”
“Please give the production method to Lord So!!”
I drew the production method.
Completed after dozens of failed projects.
It’s my work.
“So!! I got that soap!! “I made it and gave it to you…”
“Thank you for giving us soap through Lord So!!!”
“All glory belongs to the Earth Goddess!!”
“Thank you. Goddess!!”
I tried to turn public opinion around, but
I couldn’t do that.
Because they were already convinced that the soap was given to them by a goddess.
I quietly came down from the stage.
Meanwhile, people were busy praising God.
“Are you going back already?”
“Let’s go. “I am not there, but I am only looking for the goddess.”
A few days after the epidemic was over,
Russell came to visit.
“Master!”
“Russell!”
“Master, you made scented soap!?”
“Yes, I developed that!!”
Finally, someone who understands me has appeared.
I held Russell’s hand.
Then he sat me down on the chair in the office.
I sat next to him and explained how difficult the soap making process was.
“… It’s not that easy to get vegetable oil. …”
As I was explaining, I noticed Russell’s feelings.
I was concentrating.
As expected, it is Russell.
“… While I was thinking about what to make, I went to a brothel at night.”
“Did you go to the brothel?”
“No, no, I happened to be passing by. Anyway, that’s not the important thing, I saw the lamp. Well …”
The process of discovering black tree oil was explained.
“… I prepared all the ingredients, but the ripening process requires 6 months? So, I went to the Gray Magic Tower…”
He explained in detail how hard it was to make soap.
It took so much effort to make it, but the Earth Goddess took all the credit.
Still, I’m glad I have Russell who recognizes me.
Because at least one person recognized my efforts.
But…
“So what is the unit price?”
“Huh?”
“We continue to receive inquiries from nobles to commoners wanting to purchase soap.”
It’s a good thing.
It’s a good thing, but first, let’s start with my efforts…
“Master, is mass production possible? How much will it cost and how long will it take?”
“No, Russell…”
“There is no time. Many people consider soap to be a gift from the goddess. “When public opinion is good like now, we need to aggressively expand the market.”
“No…”
“Master.”
“Phew… Okay, I guess I should take it when the opportunity comes…”
I tried hard, but no one recognized me.
But… Then what?
Thanks to the goddess of earth, the image of soap has improved.
Not a little, but a lot. It has improved a lot.
It was like getting a huge publicity effect for free.
‘What if soap is thanks to the goddess? ‘The money would go around and end up in my pocket.’
I changed my thinking to a positive one.
“That’s right. It’s a gift from the goddess. “The current cost is…”
Costs for the main ingredients, black tree oil and lye.
Cost of mixing and drying them.
In addition, the wizard costs for maturation.
All costs explained.
“I will set the price by attaching a small margin to the cost.”
“Here?”
The main cost, wizard labor cost, disappears after 6 months.
Nevertheless, they said they would add a note to the cost.
“Will it still sell?”
“Of course. I buy it unconditionally. “I buy everything I make.”
There was a strong smell of money.
I can see why Russell is into soaps.
“Actually, we can make better soap than this…”
“You mean better soap?”
Soap containing black tree has a perfection level of 68.
However, by mixing other vegetable oils, it was possible to raise it a little more.
Representative examples are olive and laurel extracts.
When these were mixed at the appropriate ratio, the completeness rose to 87.
“That’s right. Sell high-quality soap to nobles and ordinary soap to commoners. “Then you’ll make more money, right?”
The corners of Russell’s mouth rose.
“Of course. “My lord.”
I handed over five soap blueprints with a level of completion of over 80.
“Master, why five?”
“Make it all. The best of them all. In particular, find a soap that women will like. For example, it moisturizes the skin or something like that.”
Out of the completeness levels of 81 and 87, will 87 definitely sell better?
I don’t think so.
Something that can appeal to female nobles.
I plan to develop a soap with such strengths.
Even if the completeness score is a few points low.
Russell’s smile grew brighter.
It looks like you understand my intentions.
“I will definitely make my soap business a success. “My lord.”
He took the five blueprints with him and left the office.
“Money… Money… Yes, money is the best. What’s important about fame that you can’t see?”
I comforted myself by quietly chanting.
.

A few days after Russell left,
“Call all those who are good at drawing!”
City Plain.
Government office conference room.
We gathered people from the city who are good at drawing.
“From now on, we will create a logo suitable for Ireland!”
“Logo?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“What is the logo?”
Noisy. Loud.
Noisy. Loud.
People’s chatter intensified at the word logo.
Logo.
A visual design or symbol used by companies, organizations, individuals, etc. To promote products.
The word logo was still awkward for them.
“So. “The idea is to draw pictures that will be engraved on Irish tops, Irish farms, Irish workshops, and Irish soap!”
Then, one person raised his hand.
“Tell me.”
“Can’t we just use the Frontier emblem?”
Frontier emblem.
Our family also has a pattern that has been used for a long time.
But,
This feels different again.
Frontier will literally inherit,
The Irish farm and top were made with my own hands.
Is that why?
I wanted to use my own logo.
Especially, what if you put a logo on a commonly used item like soap?
The effect of promoting the Irish brand would also be outstanding.
‘It’s not difficult to engrave a logo on soap anyway.’
I saw the soap making process,
At the end, the aged mixture is spread out on the floor to dry.
When it dries to some extent,
Cut it into squares.
At this point, all you have to do is get a stamp with the logo engraved on it.
The soap will harden with the logo imprinted on it.
The logos people drew were diverse.
The most common ones were pictures of animals.
There were various animals and monsters drawn.
Next was a picture symbolizing the frontier territory.
And the picture that stood out the most was.
“Huh? What’s this?”
The author himself began his explanation by holding a picture.
“It symbolizes the organization run by Youngju So.”
He pointed to his scythe.
“This refers to the Irish plantation.”
Next, he pointed to the hammer.
“This is the Iron Workshop. Including weapons and armor, ballista, and even soap. It symbolizes all the manufactories that produce it.”
The picture he drew had a sickle and a hammer crossing each other.
‘If the background is red…’
“Pass.”
“Yes!? “Lord So, this picture is…”
“No. It’s a pass. “That seems too much like that.”
“Young Lord, what do you mean by that? “It’s like that?”
“Anyway, pass. “Bring the next one.”
The next picture depicted wheat.
It would be nice if it were the logo of an Irish farm,
It seemed insufficient to express the top or the workshop.
But.
“Oh…”
“It’s a really good symbol.”
Suddenly the writers started cheering.
Even Isaac, who was assisting next to him, burst out in exclamation.
“Master, that is it. “There is no painting that represents Ireland better than that.”
“That?”
“Yes. “Can’t you feel the warmth of the goddess in the picture?”
Now that I think about it, the person who worships the Earth Goddess,
It was similar to the symbol of the Earth Church.
“Of course, I like that picture too. However, in order to express the top or the workshop…”
“After all, isn’t soap also a gift from the goddess? “Farming and manufacturing are all done with the help of the goddess, so that symbol is perfect.”
“Yes.”
“That’s right. Lord Su!”
“Thank God!”
“Thank you, Earth Goddess!”
“May God’s blessings fill the Plain!”
Starting with Isaac,
Everyone gathered here began praising the painting.
Then he looked at me with eyes full of expectation.
With eyes full of confidence that I would of course adopt that.
‘This… I don’t have a choice??’
