73 – Episode 73 Soap
“How did this happen?”
I thought deeply while looking at the Irish logo with the wheat drawn on it.
“The first time…”
The first start was after gaining system capabilities.
I couldn’t explain the system, so I used the excuse of being the Earth Goddess.
If you want to farm on Monster Island, you will need help from someone like that.
Because then people will believe it.
“I thought it was definitely an appropriate excuse…”
The incident continued to grow.
Inon, who believed in the goddess of the earth, was appointed.
A temple was built in the center of each village being built.
Even if I don’t say anything now,
It has reached a point where people believe it is a blessing from the goddess.
“Phew…”
Knock. Knock.
“Master, the seal is said to have been completed.”
“Come on in.”
The craftsman brought a stamp and less hardened soap.
He stamped the soap.
A picture of wheat was clearly engraved.
“How are you? “I made it with all my heart with the intention of dedicating it to God.”
The logo engraved on the soap was visible.
Definitely well drawn.
You can even feel the liveliness of the symbol.
But…
‘I didn’t like that logo in the first place.’
The craftsman treasured the seal and soap.
Then he added a word.
“After hearing the news that you adopted this symbol, the whole city is praising Lord So.”
“Phew… I’m thankful. Great job. “Go out.”
I picked up the soap.
It smells fragrant,
You can see the wheat symbol stamped on it.
“Russell will like it.”
Soap is considered a gift from the goddess.
There is even a logo similar to the Earth Church symbol engraved on that soap.
Consumers will be even more enthusiastic.
“Inon will like it too.”
This is Inon, who served the Earth Goddess even before she met me.
If you think about it, everyone would have liked it, and there is no one who would hate it.
Except for me, who knows that this whole story is a lie from the beginning.
A quiet office.
I knelt down alone.
‘Goddess, let me use this symbol. Instead, I’ll use the money I make from soap to build a huge temple in Plain and the surrounding satellite cities. If you don’t say anything, I’ll assume you agree. ‘I don’t have anything to say about this next time.’
After I finished praying, I got up.
I felt much lighter.

Soap began to be sold throughout Ireland.
Two types of soap were released.
One is black soap.
This soap is made with black tree and is mainly sold to the common people.
The color came out black, perhaps because of the black tree.
The second is gold soap.
Soap made with black tree, olive, and laurel extracts and sold to nobles.
In particular, it was popular among noble women due to its excellent moisturizing effect.
It is basically black, but thanks to olive and laurel, it has a subtle golden color.
Soap is selling like hot cakes
There was someone who was as happy as me, no, more than me.
And then the letter from that person arrived in Plain.
[… Thanks to Lord So, the financial situation of the Magic Tower is rapidly improving. … If I had known that you would request such a large quantity, I would have done better. … I don’t know how to express my gratitude because I ate delicious food thanks to Youngju So and even made money thanks to Youngju So. …Please remember this. Thanks to Youngju So, we are all happy.]
“I told you not to use it, Lord So.”
Recently, when I was talking to Bumatopju, I felt uncomfortable because Soyoungju sounded like a hogaengnim.
But why did I use the phrase ‘Thanks to Lord So’ so many times in the letter…
“It’s half a year anyway.”
In just half a year, I can take over all the money flowing to the Gray Magic Tower.
I wrote a reply while pressing down hard.
[This is something for which I am grateful. Without Magic Tower, soap like this could not have been produced. … Thank you for your continued support.]
Write a reply to the owner of the Buma Tower,
While I was away, I wrote letters to more people.

Frontier.
The front line.
Command barracks.
The barracks were filled with soap.
Viscount Frontier opened the letter that came with the soap.
[… Soap was developed with the help of the goddess.]
“It is the help of the goddess…”
If someone else had said this, I wouldn’t have believed it.
But, Elwin is different.
Because I proved myself by successfully farming Monster Island.
The Viscount was holding a bar of gold-tinged black soap.
It had a fragrant smell that was different from existing soap.
[… Using this soap can prevent illness. This is…]
“Illness…”
Disease causes damage to humans.
It causes greater damage in special situations, one of which is the battlefield.
An infectious disease spreading on the battlefield means weakening combat power.
There was a lot of rhetoric after that, but it didn’t catch my eye.
The one phrase about preventing disease was enough of a reason to use soap.
“Hello!”
“Yes! “My lord!”
“Provide the soap here to the soldiers!”
“I understand!”

Northern Vampires.
Bukbuk direction.
Alencia Unit.
A large amount of soap arrived here as well.
“Is this the soap?”
Even before Elwin’s gift arrived,
Rumors about the soap spread widely.
“It’s a gift from the goddess…”
I opened the letter that arrived with the soap.
[Hello. This is my friend Elwin. …]
“Friend…?”
I didn’t like the word friend.
[… I made two types of soap. Among them, Alencia must use the gold soap.]
I heard about a soap that has luxurious packaging, unlike regular soap.
It smelled different from regular soap.
“Only I… Can use it?”

Northern Vampires.
Benia Unit.
“Are you saying this is a gift from Elwin?”
“Yes.”
Elwin is an unusual person.
Like other Irish nobles, he did not take sides either for himself or for Alencia.
‘No… Is it a bit on Alencia’s side?’
Anyway, I’m wearing one foot on each side.
It is still the same today.
Doesn’t he send a lot of gifts, even to himself?
Benia opened the letter.
[… Soap suitable for the beautiful and gentle Benia…]
[… Moisturizes the skin and maintains beauty…]
“Umm…”
[… Preventing illness as a gift from the goddess…]
“Elwin, you are truly amazing.”
“Yes?”
“No. “I was just talking to myself.”
Words such as beauty and moisturizing skin lingered in my mind.
However, Benia consciously focused on other areas.
Prevention of disease.
In the end, it made practical sense.
It was especially useful on the battlefield.
‘From ballista to soap…’
This is why I can’t let go of Elwin’s hand.
Even though I knew he was holding Alencia’s hand.
This same thing happened in other units as well.
Soap was delivered to two small lords on the Venian side,
It was also delivered to Youngju So of Alencia.
And toward the northeast.
Arrived at the Elwin unit.
“This is!!!”
“Lord Inon, let go of that first…”
Despite Hans’s dissuasion, Inon heard nothing.
He was down on his knees, holding the soap with both hands.
“This!!! Goddess. Thank you!!”
Hans ignored this argument,
I opened the letter.
[Be sure to wash your hands with soap at least three times a day. If you can afford it, wash your body once every two days.]
“Please give the soap making method to Lord So!!”
I lost concentration for a moment when I heard Inon’s voice.
Hans strained his eyes again and looked at the letter.
From Noble mtl dot com
[In particular, ordinary soldiers who cannot use mana must strictly follow this rule. This is…]
“Thank you for giving us soap through your master!!!”
“Profit…”
In an instant, the veins on Hans’ face bulged.
He strengthened and concentrated on his hand holding the letter.
[You are working hard to command the troops on my behalf. Hans, please give me a little more.]
‘Lord So…’
Lord Soyoung understands me.
You recognize my efforts.
“All glory belongs to the Earth Goddess!!!”
“No!! Sir Inon!! “Take the soap and return to your personal barracks right now!!”

Officially, soap is sold in the Monster Island area.
However, some soap passed through Vampire’s Bridge and flowed to the continent.
The soap that arrived on the continent was passed on to many people.
Among them, there was also a believer of the Earth Goddess.
The believer delivered it to the priest,
A priest is a high-ranking priest.
In the end, we arrived at the Mother Earth Church.
“This… Is a gift from the goddess?”
“I say so.”
The saint closed her eyes and concentrated.
I couldn’t feel a single bit of divine power in the soap.
She asked again.
“Is it truly a gift from the goddess?”
A high-ranking priest explained the whole story.
“So. An infectious disease spread to Monster Island, and to prevent it, the goddess taught Little Lord Elwynn how to make soap, and this soap was made according to that method.”
“Yes.”
If so, there may be no divine power.
Only the manufacturing method was given by the goddess, and the actual manufacturing was done by humans.
“Good job.”
“Then, I will step down.”
The saint held the soap with both hands and placed it on the bowl.
The scent came from her hands that touched her soap.
Originally, we should have kept God’s gift, but
This is something the goddess gave me to use.
She came to the place to wash her body with soap.
A saint is a person who serves God most closely.
She took a bath every day.
Today, as usual,
She took off her clothes and started taking a bath.
The difference was that she scrubbed herself with soap.
Then bubbles appeared.
The fragrant scent has become stronger.
After finishing her bath, She came out.
Still, the scent of soap permeated her entire body.
“This… A gift from the goddess…”
A refreshing feeling that she had not felt even though she bathed every day was felt throughout her body.
What I did so far was not a bath.
After using soap, I finally learned the true meaning of bathing.
