How to Live as a Half-Dragon

098. construction

Xian then had a drinking party with Yorba.

It was also because the original plan to meet with Hughes had come true, and there was nothing to do.

‘No more than anything… .’

There was a big reason why I didn’t want to miss Yorba right now.

Xian thought a lot in an instant when Yorba handed over all authority over Mirva.

‘But I’m not good enough to take on too… .’

You could think of this as simply doing good deeds and returning to good deeds, but the key was that the important thing was that it was too big for you to handle.

Above all, aside from his talent, his circumstances were not so good that he was tied up in one place and engaged in business.

‘I have to get stronger quickly.’

So Xian decided to rehire Yorba again.

Xian is not in need of money.

It didn’t matter how much it cost, as long as there was money left over to spend moving forward.

Xian said while filling Yorba’s empty glass.

“then? Are you still giving money to Prince 1?”

“Well, I haven’t seen her face since that day.”

“Hmm… .”

We’ll have to wait and see for a while, but if the tournament goes as planned, the funding seems to need tweaking at some point.

I wonder if Sarah doesn’t show interest in the succession.

If you are interested and the succession fight starts again later, you will need a lot of money.

Anyway, after a few drinks in succession, Yorba’s face quickly turned red.

Xi’an did not go through there and continued to drink.

“Have another drink.”

“Yes, alcohol tastes good, but there is no reason to refuse it. But I don’t think he’s too drunk… .”

After sneaking under the table to see if the glass had been removed, Yorba dispelled her suspicions.

Because there were no traces of it.

It was natural. Xian actually drank it all.

But I’ve never been drunk before.

Perhaps because he was a Dragonian, he did not get drunk with most alcohol.

Sian smiled and offered a glass.

“How much did you absorb from Arut Corporation?”

“About half?”

“Only half?”

It was surprisingly slow since it was about three years ago that the central executives were purged one after another.

After a questionable reaction, Yorba spoke dissatisfiedly.

A few more drinks were exchanged, probably getting a little more drunk, but his speech became slurred.

“Don’t look at me with those eyes… A very heavy money-making… What if it’s not just one or two… .”

Of course, all the illegal money was retrieved from Alteon, but since the public money of the company remained and was being rolled by an agent, it meant that a considerable amount of money would have to be spent to absorb it.

Yorba said admiringly.

“Come to think of it, they made a tower by stacking money cushions on top of money cushions.”

“What do you mean?”

Yorba explained the business that Arut Corporation had monopolized.

He said that he was making a big profit by supplying the goods of the upper ranks that went to and from the capital on a regular basis, intervening in the interests of peddlers going to other countries he met, and monopolizing goods with large price fluctuations and selling them at high prices.

Yorba introduced several times that Prince 1 probably would not have been able to gain the upper hand in the succession structure, having been pushed back by Prince 2 in terms of financial power, had Lugrant not intervened at the end.

After hearing a few other egg yolk businesses listed, Xian hesitated at the familiar name.

Most of them didn’t even know the name or place of such a guild, but it was because it was the only guild that knew a few.

“Crete top? Do you work there too?”

“That’s right, Semain is quite barren over there. There is always a shortage of groceries.”

Of course, it was said that the Crete Merchant Merchant was in a situation where it could not avoid a deficit because the Merchant Merchant or peddlers who knew it well made a big profit.

Xian put the good information in his head and filled Yorba’s glass.

“Is there anything else?”

“Something else… .”

Yorba shared some information after that, but by Xian’s standards, there were few things that could be grasped.

‘Sorry… .’

I thought it would be more helpful if I had an insight into the world, but it was a pity.

I didn’t want to study separately because I didn’t want to become a merchant.

“The other thing… .”

“Damn it.”

Yorba slapped the liquor table and said.

Xian was taken aback by the sudden action.

“Day. Day. Day! Stop talking about his business and let me talk about myself!”

“What was the drunkenness… .”

“I’m not drunk… My ribs went out, and I had a really hard time growing a grocery store into Sanghoe… ? Mr. A.”

Xian calmed and comforted Yorba, who spoke in such a voice that his tongue was completely twisted.

Come to think of it, the current drinking party was actually a place to match Yorba’s mood and re-employ.

“Oh yeah. Shall we listen to the story of the rib?”

It was funny to see a man in his mid-to-late 30s talking to Xian, a young man in his late 10s, with a haze, but the person who was already drunk didn’t seem to be aware of that.

He talked nonstop.

‘But will you leak me like this?’

Xian knows that there is something else to say during the injection.

The story of watching the dawn break if you keep listening to it.

But what was even more surprising was that Yorba didn’t repeat what he had said.

Even so, it seems that it was really hard to come out soberly.

Xian, who listened to the story of the drunken Yorba, insinuated luck.

Originally, I was going to listen to it until the end, but I was afraid that it might really break the dawn.

“But I have a question.”

“Are you curious?”

“What are you planning to do if you quit this job?”

Money may have earned enough to play and eat for the rest of my life, but that doesn’t mean people can’t just play and not work.

Apart from money, it is worthwhile to have at least a pastime.

After thinking for a moment, Yorba wrinkled her expression and said.

“I don’t know Mr. Lee… Why don’t you go somewhere else and set up a general store? dragging… .”

Seeing that there didn’t seem to be anything decided, Xian thought that now was an opportunity and said.

“Well then… .”

Xian brought out the secret he had hidden.

The next day, Yorba woke up around noon with a hangover and groaned.

“How did I get in the day before… .”

I had no memory.

It was amazing because it had been a long time since I had drunk enough to lose consciousness.

“Are you awake?”

I was thinking about what happened yesterday when Vera, the housekeeper, came into the room just in time to hand over the hangover juice.

After drinking it, Yorba grabbed her temple and said,

“Ugh… How did I get in yesterday?”

“You came because you were overheard by that young man. Looking at it, it looks like we drank together, but how come it’s only this one?”

It was when Yorba got a little sullen at Vera’s disappointing attitude.

said Remi, her daughter, who did not know when she came in.

My daughter, Remy, who turned 5 this year, was very cute.

It didn’t seem to hurt even if I put it in my eyes.

Remy spat out shocking words.

“Dad, I want to marry that brother.”

“That brother?”

“Brother Xian.”

Until just last year, she was a daughter who was said to be marrying her father.

How can you change your mind in just a few months?

Yorba remembered Xian’s face.

‘Well, he was so damn handsome.’

Even though it was the same man, it was so strange that I was surprised.

It wasn’t strange that his daughter, Remy, was like this.

“So you brought that?”

“Oh, I did.”

That was none other than the full authority of Mirva Firm, which was discussed earlier.

After saying that in a light tone, Yorba stroked the little girl’s hair.

Vera felt a bit relieved as she felt like she had finished a long affair.

“Then will you leave Alteon soon?”

“Well, yes.”

Even those hired by Yorba will leave the ones they want, and those who will stay will stay.

Well, that’s what being an adventurer was originally.

However, it was a little regretful that he had to leave for a long time after sitting down.

“Mom, are we moving?”

“huh.”

“Hey.”

Yorba looked at her daughter with a tearful heart as if she was very sorry to say goodbye to her husband, whom she met yesterday.

“what?”

I saw a small bag tucked under the outer coat I had taken off.

Yorba’s eyes widened as he opened the bag and checked the contents.

“this… Why is this?”

Because it contained things I knew well.

It was a pouch with a seal and business documents.

“Are you sure you handed it over yesterday?”

Surprisingly, Vera was the same.

Now that I think about it, she said as if there was something on her mind.

“If you mean to take good care of what you promised before you go back yesterday… then… .”

“Did you say that to me?”

“yes… Is that all? You told me not to worry!”

Yorba’s hands trembled as Vera slapped him on the back.

I realized that it was under construction.

She said.

“ha… So what are you going to do?”

* * *

Xian went to visit Lacilla the next morning.

She was supposed to be in the Great Library, as always.

I still remembered Lacilla’s words about always spending time at the same window seat.

‘Because it was a pretty impressive meeting.’

With that encounter, Xian took the first step towards magic.

I couldn’t forget

Xian, who arrived on the 5th floor of the Great Library in search of the girl who had been helping her seven years ago, headed for Raycilla’s seat.

“aunt… .”

After crossing the long bookshelves and arriving at the window seat, Xi’an’s voice rang through the library.

Empty seats and surroundings.

Xian moved slowly.

The place where Raycilla had always been was full of chills, let alone traces of people.

Come to think of it, even before entering the library, I should have noticed that I didn’t feel Lacilla in my gut…

‘today… Aren’t you there?’

Xian, who swept the empty desk, turned around.

It was because if she wasn’t here, there was only one place where Raycilla could have been.

“Let’s go to the lab.”
