I, the Weakest Traveler, Start by Taming the gods of the Old World.
Chapter 59 - 59: Give me reward

"Lord Ha Joon!!! Look! I did it!!!" Galio shouted as soon as he was down from the horse.

"Hehe." Ha Joon giggled a bit, watching the pig sprint towards him.

"Ha Joon, is that?..." Mordred began.

"The Gyrogems we were discussing this morning…" Ha Joon interrupted, "yes, yes it is."

"That's… a lot of money," Yukio muttered under her breath.

Ha Joon smiled.

"Lord Ha Joon!" Galio was now standing in front of Ha Joon. "I sold all 100 Gyrogems!"

"How were you able to do it? The day hasn't ended yet; wouldn't it take a couple of days to even get to any Elven nation?" Ha Joon asked, intrigued.

Behind him, Mordred was still trying to process the amount of money playing before her eyes.

"Yes, I thought so too, but it seems like something is currently happening in the capital, because the borders have been closed temporarily. This was what really helped me. I ran into some merchants who were traveling to different parts of the kingdom. We talked about it, and they bought it off my hands. They're going to sell it off in other countries.

By the time I was done distributing to all the merchants, I had sold all 1000 Gyrogems," Galio explained.

Ha Joon placed his hand on his chin, nodding as he considered the situation. "Profit-wise, that was a good move. But for a long-term investment, we can't really be sure the merchants would even sell it off to the right people. Still, that shouldn't be an issue—we have more Gyrogems." He pointed at the wagons. "So, how much did you make?"

"40 billion eres, Lord Ha Joon," Galio responded.

'Ohhh, so that's what the farmer was trying to tell me. Eh? 40 billion is a lot, but not my target. But we can skip that for now.'

Ha Joon placed his hand on Galio's shoulder. "You've done well, my friend. I shall give you your share once we are done. Direct them all to the capital."

"Not the Royal bank?" Galio looked perplexed.

"Oh nah, the royal castle." Ha Joon smiled.

After an hour of transport, the sun had begun to set. Ha Joon and his followers, along with over 20 wagons filled with gold coins, made their way through the streets.

Civilians were in awe as they watched the appointed Prime Minister and the strongest knight, Mordred, ride through the town with a huge line of covered wagons behind them.

Arriving at the main castle, the gates opened, and the guard called out.

"The Prime Minister has returned!!!" his voice signaling the servants and guards to duty.

Ha Joon leaped down from the horse and walked towards the wagons that were still riding inside the castle's enormous garden.

Wraffff-!

He pulled the clothes from the wagon, revealing stacks of gold coins that glittered in the fading light, their sheer volume almost overwhelming.

Merlin and Artoria, who were watching from the window, had their jaws dropped.

One of the maids passing by fell to the ground when she noticed the mountain of money in front of her.

Even two of the knights of the Round Table, Lady Gwen and Dame Persephone, were frozen where they stood, the sight before them almost unbelievable.

It didn't take long for Artoria and Merlin to step out of the building, her feet slow yet hasty.

"Ha Joon, what is this?" Merlin spoke as she moved closer, Artoria in front of her as the guards surrounded them.

"Oh hey, mummy, did you miss me much?" Ha Joon smiled at her.

"You know well what I'm talking about… all this much?" Merlin looked at the line of wagons, and the further she looked, the longer it seemed.

"Oh, sold a few things, blah blah, the point is, with this much money, the entire economic structure of Camelot is about to change. In other words, a better kingdom. In other words, I truly am Camelot's savior." Ha Joon stood in front of Artoria, watching her reaction closely.

Artoria's thoughts were a whirlwind, her eyes darting between Ha Joon and the mountains of wealth. In all her years of ruling, never had she seen such a fortune amassed so quickly.

"How… much?" She finally asked, her voice betraying her disbelief.

"A lot of money," Ha Joon replied with a smirk.

Artoria laughed softly, the sound a mix of relief and astonishment. "I don't know what to feel or say right now…"

"Oh, maybe start by giving me a reward? I think I do deserve it, don't I?" Ha Joon shrugged playfully, glancing at her with a mischievous grin.

Yukio nodded her head in agreement.

"A reward?" Artoria repeated, trying to steady herself.

"Yes," Ha Joon raised a finger in front of Artoria's face, "I want a night with any woman of my choosing—the most beautiful in Camelot."

Mordred and Merlin accidentally looked at each other, while Mordred immediately looked away, and Merlin smiled mischievously.

"Is that all?" Artoria smiled softly, though her heart pounded in her chest.

"And I want a statue of myself," he added, leaning in closer.

"I'll see what can be done about that," replied Artoria, her voice a bit shaky.

"Oh, I know," Ha Joon grabbed her hand, his eyes gleaming with mischief, "You… yes, I want you."

Artoria was instantly flushed, though she hid it as best as she could. His words hit her hard in the chest, leaving her momentarily speechless.

"Okay, playboy, you're tired, time to rest," Mordred chimed in, grabbing Ha Joon by the hand and dragging him towards the castle.

"The hell is your deal?! Don't ruin my moment!!!" Ha Joon shouted, struggling against Mordred's grip.

"Shut up, idiot!" Mordred yelled back, rolling her eyes.

"I should go too, my master needs me," Yukio said, bowing her head before running after Mordred.

*Sigh*~

Merlin took another glimpse at the wagons filled with money, shaking her head in amazement.

"At this point, I think we can both agree Ha Joon shouldn't be underestimated. He leaves for one minute and the next he's back with generational wealth. I don't think I've ever seen this much money before," she uttered, her voice tinged with respect and disbelief.

"Yeah," Artoria responded, still in shock from what Ha Joon had said earlier, her mind replaying his words over and over.

"I bet he wants us to keep it in the royal safe, so I'll tell the guards to do so," Merlin said, glancing at Artoria for confirmation.

"Yeah," Artoria replied, barely processing Merlin's words.

"Are you going to take a bath now?" Merlin asked, watching her closely.

"Yeah," Artoria mumbled, her thoughts elsewhere.

"She's gone," Merlin smiled, her hand on her hips as she shook her head. She wasn't wrong; Artoria had been staring at a single spot, barely blinking as if she were stuck in a trance.

In her head, Ha Joon's voice was repeating like a damaged radio.
