Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Mine Development 4

“Young lord! Young Lord?! Ah, Young Lord?!”

Luke, who was reading the 3 circle magic spell he borrowed from Mute, frowned when Philip suddenly started bothering him .

“What is it, Sir Philip? Why are you whining like a kid?”

“How can I not whine? When will you keep your promise about getting me a Gigant?”

Luke made a promise to Philip at the Gigant arena .

He told Philip that if he won over the Count Monarch’s Gigant, then he would buy Philip a new Gigant .

Encouraged with those words, Philip had won the match, but Luke became so busy with other stuff that he wasn’t able to keep his promise .

After all, Philip, who was tired of waiting, was trying to get his wishes completed in that way .

“You can’t be doing things like this . What would people say if they find out that the mighty warrior, a descendant of Rakan, didn’t keep his promise? I swear, they will point fingers at you . ”

‘Should I just turn this brat into a death knight?’

But rather than a stupid Death Knight, a living expert who spouts nonsense was much more useful .

On the other hand, Luke had made up his mind to spy on Veritas Magic Tower and the changes that happened there for the last 500 years .

“Okay . Since I made a promise, let’s buy a Gigant . ”

“Ahh?!”

Philip hurried and was ready to go out with Luke .

But when Sir Roger came after hearing the news .

“Young Lord, are you going to buy a Gigant?”

“Philip wanted to . ”

At those words, Philip began to become scared of Roger .

It was as if he had light in his eyes; he turned over to Luke and said,

“Then, I will go with you . ”

“The knight general will come?”

“Yes, since the monsters are very active these days, it isn’t easy to go out without an escort knight . So, I’d rather go myself . ”

Roger said that and shot an ugly look at Philip .

“Also, I know quite a lot about Gigants . If you take Philip with you, you will surely buy a defective Gigant that would just become bothersome in the future and have poor performance . ”

“No, no matter how you see me as a human…”

A small whine escaped from Philip’s mouth, but he soon stopped when he saw Roger clenching his fist .

After seeing that, Luke decided to take Roger with him too .

Knowing that not buying a Gigant was an option too .

It would be best to just buy it to shut Philip’s mouth .

Luke together with Roger and Philip traveled north .

At first, they thought about boarding a boat . However, due to the recent drought, the boat line in the large river was suspended so traveling by land was inevitable .

“As the river level had dropped, we can’t use the boat . ”

Tired of riding a horse, Philip grumbled . Roger shot back at him right away .

“The ships could have been stranded . But a knight that hates to ride horses? What would people say about that?”

“I am a rider . And the young Lord is going to buy a Gigant this time . How about buying a mobile? Mobiles are popular with nobles since it’s very fashionable . ”

“I don’t need it . I don’t want to spend money on worthless things . ”

A mobile, which runs on a steam engine, was a vehicle that wasn’t much different from a wagon in the means of transportation .

In addition, its speed was just as fast as a carriage, which was why it was considered as a luxury rather than a vehicle .

‘If I’m going to buy something, I’ll buy a trailer . Really heavy things such as Gigants can be loaded there, and it can transport many loads at once . ’

The trailer beside them was steam-based, and it was moving in the opposite direction .

There were five of them, carrying large pieces of cloth wrapped in a luggage compartment along with men and women dressed as merchants sitting around the luggage .

“What is it?”

“Well, it is a flag that I’ve never seen . ”

The three of them drove off the side of the road to let the trailers pass .

The trailer halted momentarily, and a dumb-looking man in the first trailer greeted them .

“Hello, men . Where are you traveling to?”

“… Well, how about you?”

Roger, their representative, asked .

“We are peddlers of the Shade Corp . We travel around the rural lands to buy or sell special goods . ”

“Shade Corp? I haven’t heard that name before . ”

“Hahaha, we just opened recently . ”

The man spoke while looking at Luke .

“Which land are you from?”

“We aren’t from a very famous place . We can’t say that any place is so famous these days . ”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“Yes, since we are busy, we’ll head first . ”

Philip looked disappointed . Luke and Philip moved quickly .

The man, who saw the three of them leaving, spoke to the wizard who was inside the trailer .

“Captain Tigel, he is definitely…”

“We are definitely going to meet the ‘target’ from the Rakan estate . But he is different from what we heard . ”

Tigel took out a piece of paper from his hand .

The paper had a description of Luke de Rakan, the young Lord of Rakan estate .
