Extra Pushover Trains the Bad Girls

33 – LH Nun Punishment Act 7

As Isolda took the money and left, Lord Easter sighed in relief.

‘I’m glad though. In any case, the problem has been resolved in a way that doesn’t get any bigger…’

Although there is no particular direct influence due to the weak commercial district, the opponent was nonetheless the Beden Merchants.

In the worst case, those who have the power to move the surrounding lords and punish them.

At least, they also stopped working on the line to rip off the compensation money, as if they didn’t want to drag the situation that far, and this was a very fortunate story for Easter, the powerless lord of the periphery.

‘It’s a waste of compensation, but… oh so much If the gold mine development goes well, there will be tens of times and thousands of times the profit..’

With that thought in mind, the Easter lord began to recall once again the progress of what Jake had been talking about.

First of all, the rights to the mine are brought back here by using the inherent authority of the Easter lord and applying administrative pressure as it is now.

And, while developing the recovered mine with the help of Jake, the profits from the process are divided into two.

In the process of starting this work, it was Easter who secretly sent someone to check in advance out of concern.

As a result, as Jake said, the upper part of Beden was captured transporting ores mixed with sparkling gold.

In a situation where he had discovered that far, the Easter lord did not delay the work any longer and immediately put it into action, and thus it was successfully completed.

‘Now all that’s left is for Sir Jake to develop the gold mine well. Then the light will shine on our territory, which has been on the edge for ten thousand years!’

A plan that is simple, but at the same time unlikely to fail as it is based on the force of the law.

Satisfied with the fact that his part was finished without a hitch, Lord Easter began to swell with dreams for the future to come.

In the increasingly blurred vision, a man struggled to hold someone’s arm.

A warm and caring touch.

In response, he spoke earnestly, feeling his life slowly fading away.

“Sister..Sister..Linda..Sister..”

“Yes, please.”

A benevolent voice in his ear. So he squeezed out the last of his strength and begged her.

“Bu.. please, please.. protect my family.. hear.. my family… ..”

After that, the man couldn’t say anything more.

After the last request, his soul escaped from his sick and tired body and left for another world.

And, seeing the breathless worker, Linda slowly closed his eyes.

“Just for today.. already 9 people..”

“..Sorry.. The accident was too big as the mine collapsed.”

“… It’s heartbreaking. I won’t be able to come here for a while… I can’t believe I have to leave these people behind.”

Linda speaks in a voice filled with sadness.

Then, she slowly got up from her seat and spoke in a voice filled with determination.

“Even so… I ask you to be patient with me. We will definitely develop a gold mine to change this situation.”

“We will only trust the nun.”

“Do not worry. We will take good care of this place.”

Even in the middle of the day, the workers who cheer up and talk.

At this, Linda gave a sad smile and bowed her head.

“..thank you. Everyone. Then.. I will trust you and go.”

With those words, Linda Halls slowly leaves the clinic.

Leaving nine corpses horribly crushed in the back.

As she closed the clinic door, a cold smile appeared on her lips for a moment.

‘With this, I will never come here again. Have a good listen. My sickest slaves…’

With that thought at the end, she rode herself on the machete heading for the gold mine without any regrets.

After a few days of schedule, Lee Sol-da leaves the lord’s castle in Aosta.

As always, YuRia was walking side by side with her.

“With this, I got all the compensation money… I received a report that the mine work was finished a long time ago. All that remains is to pack up and return to Schwyz.”

“I see. You suffered too.”

Lee Sol-da speaks with a blunt expression.

So calmly as usual, they boarded the wagon waiting at the entrance and left.

Carriage out of town while remaining silent with a dry feeling

And at that very moment…

“Poop!… Puhahahaha!!!!”

“Too much.. Big.. Don’t laugh. I have no ears to hear. But be careful.. Puch!

Yuria bursts into laughter as soon as she is in a situation where she doesn’t have to worry about her surroundings.

Even Lee Sol-da was trying to stop her with her mouth, but she herself was having a hard time holding back her laughter.

If you saw them from an unknown point of view, they would be completely incomprehensible. The two people who knew the inside story couldn’t help but laugh about the current situation that was going on so much fun.

‘Really… the more you get to know him, the more mysterious he is… our master…’

One big news I heard right before I came here.

And as she recalled what would happen as a result, Isolda recalled once again the face of Bahamut, who spoke confidently with a confident voice.

‘There is no such thing.. la.. that was true. It really happened that way.’

If everything goes smoothly as planned, I’ll be very happy…

Things didn’t always go so well.

Variables always occur in work, and they often aggravate the situation because they come suddenly at an unexpected point.

And in that respect… the variables Linda and Jake faced right now could be said to be the worst.

“Are you going to stop the deal? What do you mean by that?”

“That…that’s…”

“Um… First of all, calm down and look at this, my lord.”

An aide who brings something out without knowing what to do.

In response, Jake urgently accepted it and confirmed its contents.

that’s right…

“This.. this.. what the hell is this? W.. What is written here.. is it really true?”

“That…that’s…”

Jake radiated embarrassment and anger, and his aides couldn’t help but hesitate, unable to answer.

“Aren’t you asking if it’s true!”

“Oh..yes! buy… It’s true. Lord…”

Jake’s aides finally answered Jake’s bad command, but the moment he heard that, Jake began to feel as if all his strength was draining from his body.

“This.. this.. number.. why.. why, when it’s like this…”

The worst news that arrived unexpectedly

In response, Jake stumbled and sat down, and in the process, the papers in his hands fell to the floor.

The contents in it were the contents that brought relief to many people. For Jake, it signaled an all-too-fatal crash.

that is. It was news about the conclusion of a peace treaty between the Dragona Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary, which had been calling for war.

peace treaty.

A promise to relieve the tension that has lasted for a while and catch each other’s breath for a while.

From the point of view of the people who were trembling in fear, thinking that a war would break out and a lot of blood would flow, this was regarded as no different from the grace of a merciful god.

Those who had been forcibly conscripted and wielded weapons returned to their hometowns to pick up farming tools, and the heat of the forge, which had been spitting fire nonstop and removing weapons, took a cool break after a long time.

Those who trembled in fear praised the blessing of peace in relief, and the lords who were preparing for war unreasonably were able to breathe a sigh.

Although no one knew how long this peace would last.

Because a treaty can be broken at any time with just the slightest noise.

However, it was definitely a great happiness to be able to put my mind at ease for a while, at least while I was trembling with fear for today and tomorrow.

But… the news that brought joy to so many people was no different from the screams of disaster to Jake.

All trades in iron ore and grain, which were hard to sell while enjoying the war special, were suspended.

If this were normal, it would have been a tolerable shock.

However, Jake was currently in a situation where he was raising funds to the maximum for gold mine development.

Although it is a neighbor, sending people and resources to the Aosta Mountains, which are quite far away, was incomparably difficult compared to developing iron mines in Lugano.

In order to maintain secrecy, people had to be carefully selected, food had to be procured separately, and the money needed for mine development had to be equipped with the best, not the poorest ones when digging iron ore.

In addition, it is a bonus that even the cost for transportation runs dozens of times.

Naturally, a different level of funding was needed, and in addition, it was impossible to gather investors from other places as the work had to be carried out secretly while keeping an eye on the upper house of Beden.

At this time, the complete suspension of trade in iron mines and grains, which were their main source of income, was a huge blow, and at the same time, it meant that dark clouds were hanging over the development of gold mines, which they were preparing with great enthusiasm.

“damn… That damn emperor bastard! Instead of helping us, they hit us in the back like this!”

“J.. Please calm down, lord. This… first of all, shouldn’t we quickly tell Linda this news?”

“It’s not something that can be solved just because you’re angry. We must act quickly!”

“Big… ”

Jake begins to calm his anger with difficulty at the words of his aides.

It was an unexpected crisis situation, but as they said, now was not the time to be angry.

Significant funds had already been invested in the mine development.

In order to prevent this from going back to useless, we had to come up with a way to raise funds in some way.

‘If you let go of your hand here, it really becomes nothing. It’s a hard-earned opportunity, but I can’t just end it with losses.’

The huge loss caused by the sudden cessation of iron ore and grain trade was very painful.

However, if only a gold mine exploded, all the damage would be covered immediately.

Thinking so, Jake urgently sent someone to contact Linda, who was in the Aosta Mountains.

It was impossible with his own head, but he believed that a wise woman would somehow find the answer.

“Sigh… ”

After hearing the story, Linda hurriedly ran over and let out a heavy sigh.

“Hey… how’s the gold mine situation right now?”

Jake asks with hope.

But… To this, Linda shook her head slowly in response.

“It’s not easy, the guys from the Beden Merchants made things very annoying and left.”

“Did you bother me? What else do you mean by that?”

“They blew up the entrance to the mine before leaving and left. If we can’t eat it, you guys must have a hard time too. Thanks to that, it still takes a while before I dig anything in earnest. And.. the same goes for the funding side.”

“Um… ”

It was a well-deserved thing, as it was the equivalent of forcibly taking a mine that was still being developed.

Because they would have done the same.

Yes, but the Beden Merchant Corps left after a lot of fuss in the worsening situation like now.

For them, it was inevitable that the two of them would naturally feel as if their insides were bubbling over.

“Now what? Fortunately, I have the money I’ve earned so far, so it’ll be fine for a while, but…”

“That is too much. It will take at least a few more weeks to get to the veins and mine something. If you’re unlucky, it could take even longer.”

Linda calmly analyzes the situation from the standpoint of directly carrying out the mine development.

At this, Jake began to feel a thump in his head as he recognized that once again things were going hard.

“Um… Is there any way? As you may know, this is the biggest project of our lifetime. We can obtain more wealth than has ever been squeezed out of the farmers.”

“It is, but… ”

At Jake’s words, Linda automatically frowned.

As he said, if he succeeds in this job, he can turn the whole situation around.

She would be able to completely end her life as a nasty fake nun and confidently live a happy life with no shortage as Jake’s wife.

And.. for this, it is necessary to take a certain risk. Sister Linda concluded in her mind.

“There’s no way… it’s not that there isn’t one…”

“yes? Do you have this? That… what is that? Come on, tell me.”

Jake urges Linda’s words with urgency

In response, Linda carefully talked about her thoughts, and at the same time, traces of deep worry began to grow on Jake’s face.
