Chapter.3 Chicken and Palenque

“Whether or not that is possible lies right here in the Limon Forest.”

“Here?”

When Mr. Knoll responded, I pointed upward. Palenque, tired from flying, was seen sitting on a bamboo.

“The news that Falen Q appeared here before was quite helpful. There really are Palenques. It was actually a lie when I said last time that I got Palen Q through someone else. sorry.”

“Well, no matter how many Falen Qs there are in this forest, they are the ones you can’t chase after with the naked eye. “You’re going to let those guys into the market?”

“it’s possible. Well, it may not be something you can get anywhere like Uka meat or Upa meat, but at least we can make it sell in this area.”

“By what means?”

It moves the huge mana that circulates throughout the body. They also know that I am a wizard. Of course, you probably know it at a trivial level.

I used the high-class magic Tempest Blaze to make high-temperature flames dance around me. As I adjusted my mana, a huge flame exploded according to my will.

The final destination of the fireworks is the top of the bamboo forest. The Palenques around them turned into ashes and rain trees fell down. The flames that appeared around were huge, and manipulating them like limbs consumed a lot of mana. There was no way a mercenary wouldn’t know that.

“This!”

“LC!”

The couple was scared and shouted at the same time.

“I have placed a sealing spell on the entire Limon Forest that monsters cannot escape. Once eggs are laid and hatched, the Palenque’s ecology continues to cycle. Moreover, Falen Q is a wild monster. Even if you don’t raise it, it grows on its own. After that, when they are fully grown, they are caught and sold. Something like that. “If we increase the range of habitat just a little more within a manageable range, the population will increase and will develop to a certain number that can be distributed.”

Mr. Knoll couldn’t close his mouth. He looks more surprised by the magic than by my words.

“Were you a high-class wizard? As far as I know… that kind of magic!”

“honey!”

Surprised, Mr. Laine grabbed Mr. Knoll’s arm. They looked at me like what would happen if I spoke so carelessly.

“Reine, it’s okay. “It makes me uncomfortable if you care that much.”

“But… a high-class wizard is no different from any other noble…”

“Mr. Reine.”

“yes…?”

“Mr. Knoll retired from being a mercenary for Mr. Reine, right?”

“yes yes! “It was like that.”

“I retired as a wizard because I wanted to live a normal life. An ordinary life selling food at a restaurant. That’s why I’m happier now than when I was called a wizard. I’m happier now than when I was complaining. Do you know what it was like to fight as a wizard? I just endured it with persistence. Even when my comrades died, I held on and held on, trying hard to convince myself that there was nothing I could do because that’s what battlefields are, but all that remained was futility. It was even worse when classes were weak. The same applies even if it gets higher. They just want to use it from all directions. Such people usually shout for the safety of their people, but in the end, all they have in mind is using the magician’s power to increase their own power. That kind of life is tiring. If you don’t like those people, you should destroy the world. Because there is no end. But since I couldn’t do that, I chose a normal life. If you were Mr. Knoll, who worked as a mercenary, wouldn’t you understand my feelings?”

This is sincere. If he wanted to, he could destroy any empire or kingdom. But that only adds to the headaches. You won’t be able to find small happiness like now.

“Did you have a past like that?”

Fortunately, Mr. Knoll returned to his normal attitude. No, rather, he crossed his arms and nodded. As if he understood everything.

“So, I hope you’ll just treat me as the owner of the restaurant over the hill. Especially Laine! Why are you so stiff all of a sudden? Aren’t Reine and Knoll people who came to Grace City in search of small happiness like me? “It makes me so upset when people in the same situation do it.”

Mr. Knoll and Mr. Raine looked at each other. It was Mr. Laine who opened his mouth first.

“Are you happy now?”

“yes. Did you see the guy in the restaurant? “Well, I’m happy.”

“ah!”

Mr. Layne nodded. I guess I felt like we were in the same situation. That’s why he apologized with a look of regret on his face.

“sorry! “Then I’ll forget everything I just saw.”

“Yes, yes, understand. L. “Reine just froze up for a moment because she was bullied by some noble bastards.”

“honey!”

Mr. Reine glared at Mr. Knoll. Mr. Knoll scratches the back of his head and hastily corrects himself.

“Oh, I guess I didn’t say anything just now.”

A story from the past that I don’t want to make clear. I also have a past. These are stories that are of no benefit to delve into. So I nodded.

“Well, forgetting the past is good. Rather, the reason I showed you magic was not for the sake of a sudden surprise show. I plan to capture Palenques from Limon Forest with magic and distribute them through Mr. Knoll’s store. That’s why I brought you two here. Could you sell PalenQ? “I plan to split the profits in half.”

“yes?”

“what?”

The couple shouted at the same time. A voice so loud that it makes your eardrums ring. Anyway, in times like this, they are a perfect couple.

“That can’t be possible. Why do we get half of the profits you capture and sell with your magic? If you want to sell it, I will sell it to you. But it makes no sense to say that the fee is half!”

Mr. Knoll spoke firmly. So I also answered firmly.

“My restaurant is not a place to sell raw ingredients. So, I have no intention of selling Palenque meat itself in restaurants. Plus, it won’t sell. But Mr. Knoll’s store is different. It’s a butcher shop. This is a place that sells meat. So there is a distribution network. I think it’s fair to say that the cost of using it is half of the profit. You have to take care of all the storage and management of the meat. As it is now, restaurants are getting very strange. Because I was thinking wrong. Palen Q here and Palen Q there. So, at least in Gray City, I want to make it possible to save Falen Q if you decide to save it, and to do that, I need Mr. Knoll’s help. “I think it’s a fair amount.”

“but…!”

“We can’t distribute it in large quantities anyway, so the numbers are limited and it’s not a huge money-maker. Rather, please use that money to buy better meat. That way, I can cook better food. Isn’t it? Am I wrong? This is the path for everyone to progress. Ah, if there was a lot of profit left, they would give you the meat at the cost price. haha.”

Mr. Knoll and Mr. Reine looked at each other again. Mr. Reine nodded while pulling Mr. Knoll’s arm.

“If a lot of other meats are sold thanks to Palenque, then at least buy Laine some more clothes. “How could you do such a mean thing to such a beautiful person?”

“What the hell! That’s not your problem! Well, if that’s what you think, I’ll sell PalenQ. “I’ll sell it to you!”

“It’s a benefit to me too, so aren’t you really grateful?”

“I didn’t say thank you? “What are you talking about, you guy!”

“Thank you is written all over your face right now? “Why are your eyes watering?”

“Reine! Let’s go back. I’m going to be busy!”

“Oh honey. “There’s really something around your eyes.”

“I thought it was going to rain?”

“Wow honey! LC, let’s talk more about it later. He’s so… .”

Ms. Layne shook her head and followed her husband.

The deal appears to have been concluded. Of course, one truth was not revealed. How to catch Palenque.

Honestly, I can’t catch Falen Q with my magic. It was impossible. Fire magic turns it into ashes, and ice magic completely freezes it. If you freeze it with ice magic, thawing it is several times more difficult than normal. Moreover, even if every single skin tissue cell were frozen and thawed, it already has no value as food. This is different from regular refrigeration.

In the end, the dragon has to work hard to preserve the taste.

However, the dragon’s identity could not be revealed. So I’ll just use my magic. Whatever it is, now there will be no more people looking for Palen Q. And you will make money with Palenque on the market. Is this literally pocket money?

I returned to the store humming a song that came out of my own accord and sat down on the bed of the still sleeping dragon. Today, her black hair reminds me of my hometown. The black hair that resembles that of Koreans is particularly relatable.

“Gororon gororoong puhaa-”

Lurin always makes the same sound.

As I gently brushed her sleeping head, her eyes suddenly opened. Then he wakes up shakily.

“Is it you? “Where have you been all day?”

I think he knew I was gone even while he was sleeping. I’ve known for several months that if I leave without waking him up, he’ll go to the market, so I often ignore him and go to sleep, but today he came back later than usual and he seemed to be bothered.

If he gets on your nerves, he gets up on his own and comes to you. Ugh.

“I earned some pocket money. “Let’s take care of some annoying things.”

“Earning pocket money?”

“Yes, it’s money you don’t need, so if I save up more, I’ll gift it to you later when you rebuild the rare. “Change it into treasure.”

“uh? treasure? “Is that really true?”

The eyes that had been drooping with a disheveled expression begin to shine. It seems that the dragon cannot overcome its nature of liking treasure. I nodded while combing my messy hair. The dragon pressed his back closer to my chest and began to stomp his feet and ask questions.

“But if we rebuild Lair, will you come too?”

“No, I’m going to live here.”

“What? Then there is no need.”

“Shouldn’t we go back there someday?”

When Lulin’s private part was touched, Lulin’s expression suddenly darkened. He turns his body, droops his eyebrows, and looks directly at me.

“I don’t like that. No way you! “Are you going to betray me?”

“That can’t be possible. Still, it would be annoying if I didn’t listen to my clan’s orders, right?”

“If you betray me, I will gladly take out my heart and kill myself with you. You said that, right? “If I eat more dragon hearts, my body will explode.”

Dragon’s eyes. Those black eyes were shaking wildly.

“What kind of betrayal is this? “I heard I fought that clan for you?”

After holding her finger, I started to run through the black hair I had combed. This damn dragon brings down the mood.

“Aaaah! sick! I just did it. It’s okay if you don’t betray! So give me food! Bab! And wash your hair again! “Because you are the one who broke it up.”

“Of course. Zero car.”

Because Lulin’s Dragon Fear has to keep working hard to distribute Palenque. Hehehe.
