I, the Weakest Traveler, Start by Taming the gods of the Old World.
Chapter 58 - 58: 40 billion eres

*A few hours before.

"Lord Ha Joon, I've come with the list." the farmer announced as he entered the building.

Ha Joon was seated on the piles of crops, Yukio sitting beside him, her head resting on his shoulder and her arms wrapped around him.

His legs were crossed, eyes focusing on the papers list he held. Some parts of his body were still covered in dirt and blood.

"Dude, what took you so long?" Ha Joon looked at the farmer.

"My apologies, handing out the other mails to the chiefs took a bit of time." The farmer responded, slowly walking in.

"Oh yeah, I did tell you to do that… are they all gone, fired?" Ha Joon grabbed the paper from the farmer.

"Y..yes My Lord, but… I don't think they took it very well. They all seem..mad".

"Well it's expected, no one likes being fired from a job, especially when it's a huge chunk of their income, but what needs to be done must be done, can't have greedy fat pigs stealing all the income."

Ha Joon read the paper -

'670 crops, hmmm, that's actually good for now. In the next six months or so, we should have stable vegetation, until then we'll need to spend more on food sources from other kingdoms. Hmmm, I don't think I know much about other kingdoms, but that can be settled.'

He flipped open the page, "Hey you, what's your name again?".

"It's Ragik My lord." The farmer responded.

"Okay Ragik, you are now the new overseer of this farm, be sure to deliver the daily reports to the main farm, I'm sure I can trust you, can I not?" Ha Joon handed the paper back to him.

A smile seemed on Regik's face, he immediately bowed his head as he grabbed the pepper, "Yes Lord Ha Joon, I promise not to let you down!".

"Hehe, good boy, you may go." Ha Joon flapped his fingers at him.

Regik raised his head, the smile glued on his face as he exited the building.

The moment he was gone, Ha Joon smiled.

'I've been here for two hours, but I can say it's worth it now. The progress has been going well. Now, I can head back to the capital to interrogate my new friend… Speaking of interrogation.'

Ha joon, with a weird expression on his face, looked at Yukio.

"How long do you intend to keep hugging me?" He asked.

Yukio hugged tighter.

'She's been like this since I told her about the assassination attempt, I mean at first it seemed like she wanted to fly to the capital to kill the criminal… Can she even fight?'

Ha Joon sighed again.

'System, found anything yet?'

[Yes I have.]

[The energy Ankia is a special type of mana force found in the essence of a god. Every living thing is born with a magic circuit within them that determines what type of magic they can conjure, gods do not have that, instead, they have Ankia, each god has a different type of Ankia, it's a million times more complex and complicated than magic energy.]

'Hmm… and I have that? I know for a fact the bald guy mentioned I did.'

[Yes you do, since you have tamed the False demigod, you have also tamed its Ankia essence, making it yours.]

'Hmm… maybe next time i should try summoning it, been a while i used-'

The door to the barn busted open.

Instantly, Yukio acted, she stood in front of Ha Joon, red glowing chains dancing around her, the sharp tip, aimed at the door. A threat? She thought to herself, still overworked about the fact someone tried to assassinate her master.

Standing at the entrance of the door, another farmer, he was breathing heavily, his head bowed.

"Lord Ha Joon!!! I have a massage for you!!!" Yelled the farmer.

"A message?" Ha Joon asked, trying to pull Yukio back by holding her shoulder, but not once did she take her eyes off the farmer.

"Yes my Lord! 4..4..40 billion eres my lord!!!" The farmer was shaking on feet.

"Uhn? What are you saying? You have to use the toilet or something?" Ha Joon questioned with a deadpanish look.

Suddenly, Mordred walked into the room, having a look of disbelief on her face.

"H..Ha Joon, what sort…of gambling did you get into?" Mordred asked.

"Do I really look like the sort of guy that would do anything for money?" Ha Joon stood up from the sack of crops.

"Yes." Mordred replied.

"Well you're right, but what really is the issue though? This guy seems like he's going to die any second now…is he crying?" Ha Joon pointed at the farmer.

"Yeah, maybe you should see it with your own eyes."

"Sheesh, you guys are acting like you've seen a ghost or something. Let's check it out then".

Ha Joon reluctantly stepped outside, only to be greeted by an unbelievable sight the moment the sun shone on his face. His eyes widened in shock as he took it all in.

Even Yukio had to stifle a gasp, covering her mouth to keep from crying out.

Stretching out in front of them were countless massive wagons, lined up in a seemingly endless procession. Each one was loaded to the brim with thousands of eres—piles of money stacked high, filling every inch of space.

Ha Joon's eyes sparked with joy when he spotted Galio, his favorite merchant pig, riding a horse beside the long lines of wagons, waving at Ha Joon.

About 25 different guards accompanied the wagons, each one taking different positions.

Farmers from different parts of the farm stood in shock as they watched piles of money ride past them, money so high, it seemed almost impossible.

'No freaking way, how? It hasn't even been a full day since we discussed this? How the hell was he able to make this much money?! '

Ha Joon laughed silently, 'I love you Galio, if you were a girl, I'd marry you this very instant'.

Suddenly -

[You have successfully cleared the main quest 'Camelot's economy'.]

[You have earned 5 stat points.]

Ha Joon grinned, 'Well well, welcome the riches… cause I'm taking them all'.
