How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job Chapter 136

Chapter 136. The undead are prosperous! (3) I have no intention of drawing a line because of my pride.

Consider it as carefully as possible, and if you don’t want to do it anymore, you should take one or two losses.

If you negotiate properly, there won’t be such a serious problem.

“your majesty.”

At that time, Jeanne Pell, the butler serving Theonel, cautiously approached and called him.

“What is it?”

“I want you to look at this.”

What he handed out was a letter.

There is no need to report every single letter received during an important meeting.

Even so, the fact that he had to come and tell me in person.

“…Arel?”

Instead of answering, Jennefel handed out a letter.

Theonel, too, quickly picked up the letter and read it, as if he couldn’t wait any longer.

“Huh?????

“What is it about?”

Unable to contain his curiosity, Duke Gast asked a question.

“I don’t think there’s any need to be in debt to the Holy Kingdom.”

“No way?…

Seeing everyone’s faces stained with anticipation, Theonel nodded vigorously.

“Arel says he has a way!”

On the other hand, the situation of those who were not prepared was serious.

Merman Empire.

The young man sitting on the throne let out a deep sigh.

Eylan Amret Janil, the current emperor of the Merman Empire.

He, who had just ascended the throne after the former emperor whose health deteriorated due to defeat in the last war, did not know what to do at the sudden news.

“…How far has the current group of undead invaded?”

“It is said that several villages near the border have already been damaged.”

“Currently, residents of the affected areas are running out and knocking on the sealed gates, asking for refuge, and they are extremely confused.”

“It’s the worst.”

The report of the servants made his head hurt one after another.

The situation of the empire after the war was literally chaos itself.

Despite the resignation of the existing emperor, the dissatisfaction of the imperial people has not been resolved, and they still show distrust, and some places even show radical movements, so they are struggling to cope with that alone.

But to make matters worse, the massive invasion of the undead began.

If they managed to survive at the first border fortress, they would have tried to minimize the damage by evacuating the residents there.

There was no time to prepare for the almost sudden outbreak of the undead and the accurate invasion as if it had been led to collapse helpless.

“Can’t we expect support from allies?”

“It seems difficult. The same goes for the situation in the Kingdom of Damaniel.”

Needless to say, the kingdoms with which they had some exchanges were also suffering from the undead as they were close to the battlefield at the time.

“Fortunately, since the Holy Kingdom has expressed its intention to provide salvation, it seems that there is no choice but to lean on it.”

“….Right. Is it them too?”

Fortunately, the Empire seemed to be in a position to receive support from the Holy Kingdom regarding this matter.

Unlike the Ernesia Kingdom, the Merman Empire and the Zelnian Castle Kingdom were building friendly relations.

“But… I think I’ll have to accept ‘it’ that they suggested before… but

I can’t help it. It was the car I thought I needed anyway.”

After being defeated in the war, the current emperor of the empire, who was suffering from serious internal turmoil, was struggling all the time to find a way to resolve it.

Then, a certain proposal from the Holy Kingdom came down.

They asked for it in return because they would support them both physically and mentally.

I didn’t like it, but in the end I had to accept it.

” your majesty??????

“What is so serious? At best, it is to welcome the empress from the Holy Land.”

The proposal is none other than the current emperor’s marriage to a woman from the Holy Land.

‘It’s obvious what they’re aiming for, but…

It was clear that they intended to interfere in the internal affairs of the empire in the future by appointing an empress from their own country.

Although they are reeling from defeat in the war and are currently showing a pathetic appearance, even so, their position as one of the three major powers is not in vain.

I’m sure it will be worth that much.

‘I can’t afford to worry anymore.’

It’s an offer I don’t like, but right now I have to choose if that’s the only way to breathe.

“Fortunately, even if we welcome the empress, isn’t there something the Holy Land would raise such a problem here right now?”

It is so.”

The servants were also unable to come up with an alternative to the end, as if there was no way, and in the end they had to bow their heads.

“Ask the Holy Kingdom for help.”

Several other countries were also suffering serious damage from the armies of the undead.

It was only belatedly that the Seongguk began to intervene in the situation, announcing its intention to provide significant support to the Empire and other countries suffering from the undead.

However, countries other than the Empire were hesitant to take their outstretched hand.

Not for any other reason, but because the sincerity is not free.

Sometimes outrageous treaties.

Sometimes touting necessary supplies.

The people might be mistaken for pure assistance, but those in power knew how terrible profiteering the Seongguk was, so they had no choice but to hesitate.

It was also because there was someone to keep an eye on.

The Kingdom of Ernesia.

It was because he knew for sure that Seongguk and Ernesia Kingdom were not officially hostile, but behind the scenes they were revealing uncomfortable feelings for each other.

If you hold hands with one side, you will be completely ignored by the other side instead.

If you were dealing with the old Ernesia Kingdom, you wouldn’t even have to worry about it, but now it’s different.

After winning the war against the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the existence of the Kingdom of Ernesia has truly grown.

The existence of the Kingdom of Ernesia was both fearful and regrettable in order to establish friendship with the Holy Kingdom simply to escape from the fear of the undead.

That’s why they secretly watched them.

However, for some reason, only they remained silent while suffering from the undead.

Like you don’t need any help.

At the reaction of Ernesia Kingdom, the neighboring countries showed a puzzled reaction.

And it wasn’t long before I found out why.

It was because the number of undead invading Ernesia Kingdom was rapidly decreasing.

They had obtained a way to exterminate the undead without borrowing the power of other countries.

Furthermore, they made enticing proposals to the leaders of nations plagued by undead avalanches.

“I am willing to provide a means to exterminate the undead at a cheaper price.”

It was an offer that could not be ignored.

And it was a proposal that could only be welcomed.

I still don’t know what kind of idiot did this undead army.

But if you don’t take advantage of this opportunity, you will lose. Yeah, no damage.

After several preliminary investigations, I had already noticed that the unknown black magician dealing with the undead was doing something suspicious.

However, it is so hidden that it is very troublesome to catch it in advance.

If I go and catch it myself, it will be easy.

I have the confidence to grab my hair and drag it out within a week.

But I don’t like to do it.

It’s really annoying to do that.

Why do I have to go find him?

More than anything, warlocks stink…

especially those dealing with the undead.

To the extent that the taste of rice is lost.

I don’t know the location if I know it, but it’s annoying to search every place.

The most important thing is that there is no benefit to me in trying to catch him beforehand.

For that reason, I decided to prepare a solution step by step while waiting for the incident to happen.

“Are you ready?”

“I finished everything you ordered.”

Damon nodded.

“…I couldn’t help but panic when you told me to recreate the holy water.”

Damon said with a wry smile, probably remembering the time I summoned him and ordered him.

Oh, that’s when I quietly remembered what happened a while ago.

As expected, the highest efficiency in exterminating the undead is holy water.

Holy water issued and distributed directly by the Holy Land.

Monsters run away just by smelling it, and the undead are purified on the spot just by splashing them, right?

In addition to that, it is said that the effect is amazing even if it is made into a medicine.

After hearing the information about the holy water, I became interested in it and secretly obtained it by spending quite a lot of money.

“Right. Is this holy water?”

I looked around at the liquid in the small vial.

It looks like ordinary water, but if I look closely with my keen eye, it is not ordinary water.

‘…Something strange, condensed mana?’

In other words, this holy water has a mysterious aura that cannot be detected in ordinary water.

That is, it is not ordinary water.

Perhaps this is the secret of its effectiveness.

Is it because monsters are sensitive to the energy that comes from them?

It seems that there are many other benefits, but it’s really amazing.

First of all, I analyzed the holy water of the problem in earnest.

Until now, it seems that many countries have struggled to find out the secret of the holy water sold in the Holy Land, but this much is easy if I get caught.

‘With this, it can be reproduced.’

Fortunately, it is not very different from the concept of holy water I know.

I filled out the ingredient list and handed it over to Darman.

The ingredients of the holy water that no one has ever figured out.

Damon looked at the information carefully, nervously and with curiosity.

The authenticity is unquestioned.

Because he trusted my skills, and he was somewhat aware that I had a private facility where I kept my research secret even from my closest associates.

“Then, can you make holy water with just these ingredients?”

“well? Half right, half wrong.”

The problem is how.

“Where should I get the ingredients according to this ingredient list?”

There are even ingredients that are currently difficult to reproduce no matter what means are used.

“At least it would take 20 years of research to reproduce this as it is.”

I’m sorry, but I was just telling the truth.

“I heard that it is the holy woman of the Holy Land who creates holy water.”

“Yeah, I know that too. Perhaps she is the only one who can create the perfect holy water.”

I can guess roughly how it is made.

Perhaps a person with a certain constitution… For example, should I say that saint?

I haven’t met him in person, so I can’t say for sure.
