In a World Filled with Deserts, an Old Man with Electronic Money

"Mu, it's no use cutting off your neck, right?

"According to the materials, yes. I happened to have read the material about the void in King's Landing."

The outside of town has become impatient.

Nothing seems to be aiming for Torrest, Shipland as expected.

We should have about a week to get to Shipland, but we can see the hunters, shipowners, and people who are already packing their loads and trying to escape.

Looks like they're getting ready to move into the Vicomte de Shipland's Mansion.

I'm sure the Garcia Chamber of Commerce will do the same.

"The tip of the sandwich mouth isn't exactly the head. In other words, it's pointless to cut it off."

"So, where is it? The head of nothingness."

"I don't have it. Something like that."

I mean, is sandwich a planar creature?

I don't hear that the cut off parts have been played back and the number has increased, so it's probably not exactly the same.

"Even if we split it into several pieces, the biggest pieces will play back quickly. Unregenerated debris is quickly recovered from the mouth and nourished again."

In other words, is it pointless to tear apart the nothingness?

In the first place, given the size of the story, it would be very difficult to tear it apart in two.

"You're not going to die in the ice, are you?

"It doesn't make sense. As soon as the ice melts, it moves."

It is very difficult to maintain nothingness even when it is iced in a hot desert.

You can't keep magic on forever so the ice won't melt.

"It's not realistic to burn with fire magic."

It is physically difficult, such as magic, to burn out a giant of nothingness, and even if you burn only the surface, it will recover quickly.

Even so, it is difficult to burn a sandbag over a kilometer long in a short time.

Not to mention, Muu's best magic is ice magic.

Fire magic can only be set on fire.

"So... is it poison? It's a beast, so it's no different from being a creature, right?

"Yes, sandbeards are definitely creatures. Poison... I think there are people who have thought of poison."

"Because of the huge body, it will need a lot of poison. It's going to be difficult to get close enough to put a lot of poison in the empty body."

Rarabel is right. If you use poison to defeat Nothingness, you need the amount anyway.

Can you prepare a large amount of poison in a short period of time?

If we deal with such a large amount of poison, we will die first if we do not pay attention to the prevention of poisoning.

It's hard.

That's right.

"So the Garcia Chamber of Commerce Master is probably busy."

Even if we can't manage to defeat Nothingness... we need to get out with as little damage as possible.

Still, Shipland will be destroyed.

As precious nature and fields disappear, it will be difficult to rebuild them when they return.

"A lot of people will die."

"Water....."

Great Desserts are full of deserts, and water can only be obtained from the Central Sea and few rivers, Oasis.

Many Shipland residents have managed to escape town, but many will die of water shortages in the desert.

Because humans cannot live without water.

In this hot desert climate, you have to drink a lot of water because it sweats a lot.

Besides, it gets cold at night.

If we do not prepare ourselves for the cold, some will die of the worst freezing.

"How many days can I get back to the source of water after the vanity has been roughly inhaled?

After nothing left, even if I managed to return to Shipland, where there was only water left, I had to enter the disaster life with nothing left.

It will take a great deal of time to rebuild the town, and in the meantime the death toll is likely to increase.

Because this desert world relentlessly kills defenseless people.

It's also because of weak people.

"When I see a week to get back to Shipland, a lot of women, children and old people will die in the meantime."

The water is bulky, so I can't take it out that much.

Evacuation will be delayed this time if all the escaping residents arrive at the water source to collect water at once.

Anyway, if you run into the desert without the water you need, people will surely die.

It's because camping in the desert for days is tough enough to raise the level a little so you can live in it.

Many children, women, and frail elderly people will not be able to tolerate it.

"I wish I could do something about it."

"Lord Tallow, is that because innocent people are pathetic?

"Labels don't ask tough questions. Of course, that's not all."

I think it is an ant to escape with a newly-built ship like this, and I can only accept criticism from that choice.

Because in our current precarious position, we cannot help it.

"Because Shipland and we are in a delicate position vis-à-vis the Kingdom of Bart."

The label and mu were practically on the island, and the water source of the oasis withered, so they escaped.

From the king's point of view, 'I gave you territory and you neglected your duty! and punish both of them.

Shipland may be ruled by the Kingdom of Bart in a vain chaos.

It goes without saying.

If the King finds out I'm alive, he could lead us to the assassin.

"Even so, I can't live forever hiding who I am."

"I'm sure they'll find out when."

"No matter how well it goes, you'll find out in five years."

Five years later, when the King tried to summon the Transformer again, the summons would fail because I was alive.

When that happens, the king's anger is unimaginable.

Naturally, I am targeted by the King, so it is important that the area in the southwestern part of the King's city is officially under the control of the Kingdom of Bart, but not under effective control.

"Are you with me against the Kingdom of Bart?"

"I'm not optimistic that they think we're on the same side, but it's better for us to keep Shipland alive now."

Shipland is also resisting effective control of the Kingdom of Bart.

If you enter the control of the Kingdom of Bart in the no-nonsolation of Dosaxa, you may be able to take effective control of the southwest based here.

"I want to defeat Nothingness if possible and stop it."

"I have a choice to run to another country."

It's an ant, too.

There is no guarantee that you will be safe if you flee to a foreign country, and there are many options for the future.

It's a safety measure for the old man.

"In my country, I said, 'Mercy is not for people.'"

"Doesn't that mean it's not good to pity people?

Is it impossible for Mu to interpret it that way...?

"In recent years, there have been more and more people in my country who misunderstand the meaning of this word, but the true meaning of this word is that 'it is not only for that person to show mercy to him, but eventually he will return to himself around'. I'm not a good person, so I'm not just volunteering for nothing."

"I'm relieved to hear that."

Apparently, it was a little loud.

Naturally, the head of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce came into the room we were staying in... but I noticed that.

"Were you still aware?" Transformer "

"Have you noticed who I am from the beginning? It's been about a month since I was summoned to King's Landing because I knew the identity of the label and Mu 'u immediately. There's no way I can't see my face as I keep killing sandbags at the level up."

Collecting information is important in order to do business advantageously.

I'm not hiding or disguising my face, so it's only natural that I should be aware of it.

There is only a condition that you are as big a trader as the current owner of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce.

When I was in King's Landing, there were quite a few aristocrats who didn't know my face, who almost went to and from barracks and the desert where the beasts lived.

Because the king was trying to get rid of me, there were more aristocrats who didn't know my face.

"You have plenty of room. Don't you think there's an assassin from the Burt royal family lurking in Shipland?

"I don't care... that person won't live long."

I'm dull, but the label and mu aren't.

They'll kill you soon enough.

"Before that, is there a nobleman in the Kingdom of Bart who realizes that I am alive?

"You're not here. The information I told you about the other day through the church convinced the king himself."

Poor thing.

The conversion of the money in the church's account into Edeluk was a success.

However, as a church, my account suddenly disappeared, and I'm afraid this is also a serious flaw in the church's banking system… So the church is desperate to hide the scandal that suddenly disappeared from my account.

Then there's no way the Kingdom of Bart will notice.

"But someday they'll find out."

"There are also ways to flee abroad."

"Don't you have to make a quick decision? The conditions have changed a little. Suddenly the Invasion Speed of Nothingness increases, and tomorrow the Trest will be attacked by Nothingness."

How fast does nothingness move?

Sandworms are said to swim and move through the sandy sea, so they can move surprisingly fast.

I don't think a giant vanity can move faster than a normal sandwich, but if you care about it, can it move faster?

"What about Baron Trest?

"There will be no rescue in time. We have squandered too much time in a barren debate about whether to ask the Kingdom for help or not. Our reinforcements won't make it, and they're on their way."

When I saw the face of the current lord of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce answering my question, I didn't try to hide the mood.

No hectic countermeasures are taken against nothingness, but time is spent in barren arguments and escapes without any effort to protect the oasis that is supposed to be home.

I think the Garcia Chamber of Commerce is angry with Baron Torrest for being connected to the Vicomte de Shipland.

"I have no choice but to accept that the Baron Trest falls on the civilian population. I will be deported when I seek special treatment."

"I don't care about Baron Trest, but are you sure you want to accept all your people?

"If nothing happens, it's fine."

Originally, Shipland could not live without importing food in trade.

Still, it flourishes as a trade relay point, so even if the population increases slightly, it won't be able to feed.

However, it is doubtful whether we will be able to live at the same standard as we used to live in Torrest.

Better than to die dry in the desert.

And it was the abject ruler, Baron Trest, that forced them into their lives.

"Oasis rulers don't need incompetence. If you put incompetence on top, people will only die in the desert."

Like the kingdom of Burt, some kings are subtle but undeterred by the ruling structures and legacies they have built up so far.

The smaller the oasis, the more incompetent the ruler will not be forgiven.

"Oasis of Torrest. Don't you want some?

I don't need it.

If we don't have a weird base, we'll be able to live comfortably.

It's not good to be next to Shipland.

Shipland is a trade staging post, so the Kingdom of Bart has too much influence.

"Are you saying we're going southwest? However, if we escape now, Shipland will be under the influence of the Kingdom of Bart in the future. That way, the king will reach out to the unknown in the southwest. That way, it's the same thing to run away now."

"So you're putting Shipland on the front line and resisting the Kingdom of Bart?

"I need your help. The oasis which La Label and Mu 'u were given by the king was abandoned because the water had withered. This is a valid reason for abandoning territory. If only Lord La Label could be the new Count of Trest."

"Does that brother shake his neck vertically?

Fearing the power, her sister became the new lord of Oasis next to Shipland.

You may not recognize him as the king.

"Definitely admit it."

Master, you're sure?

"To hear the stories, the king is a strange person to care about outside eyes."

Speaking of which, I took the trouble of levelling it up for a month and trying to murder it on a boat en route to Water City.

If I didn't want to bother you, I should have assassinated you on the day you were recalled.

The label and mu are the same.

Even though they were surrounded by sandwich nests, they gave them a proper oasis.

It should be unexpected because no one knows what happened to the water source.

If they thought they were going to be a threat to themselves in the future, they should have murdered them.

"What he says is that the new, powerful system of governance is halfway there because somewhere else's eyes are on it. It could be a childhood trauma."

"Oniisama was a very good man, loved by his father and his kings. I don't think my brother is incompetent, but I think he is excellent, but compared to big brother. I've been trying to get my father and his ministers to admit it."

Is there a strong feeling at the root of the king that he wants to be recognized by his deceased father and his ministers who support his suddenly dead brother?

So I don't want to underestimate myself.

The assassination of the "Transformer" was not carried out in King's City because it would be suspicious.

Did Label and Mu also stay in exile in the name of granting territory as nobles?

"That's why the new lord of Trest, the only source of water, has no problem with La Label."

"Because of nothingness, there is only water left in the trest. If Shipland falls into the hands of the Kingdom of Bart, surveillance is easy."

"You should think about it. So could you take on the crusade of nothingness?

"I really can't. I won't fight until I risk my life, and if I do, I may escape."

"I don't mind."

Is it like I'm finally stuck with my wings and hit all my hands?

While accepting Torrest's evacuees, they will soon face up to Shipland's impending emptiness or take Torrest's evacuees with them.

While rebuilding the destroyed Shipland, we must also confront the effective control of Shipland in the Kingdom of Bart.

First of all, I can't.

"To be honest, if we think Shipland can save us, we could betray you and offer it to the king. You may think it's cowardly, but this is also to protect Shipland. That's why we split the Vicomte de Shipland and the Garcia Chamber of Commerce."

"My lord?

Both of you, calm down.

After listening to the current lord of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce, Label put his hand on the sword and began to prepare Muu to spell magic quickly, so I stopped them both.

"You're an honest businessman. Normally, you don't say it, and if you do, your betrayal success rate will decrease."

"If you can beat nothingness."

"I was appraised and almost disposed of as a 'transformer' by the King of the Kingdom of Burt....."

"I am a merchant, so I have some eyes on people. At least not the young man who named the king."

"There are solutions worth trying. Think of it as useless."

"Please. Save Shipland."

I was asked by the head of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce to crush the giant sandwich "Nothing".
