403 Episode Twenty-six: The Magnificent Life of Merchant King Shalok Cornrogue (1/2)
The Merchant King, Sharoke Cornrogue.
Attack the continent, starve, use it as a business opportunity, grasp the distribution network of food in one piece. Having absorbed and integrated multiple chambers of commerce and held numerous independent merchants in his hands, he eventually becomes the ”Merchant King”.
His life after that was also full of wealth and prosperity.
Indeed, he had excellent business talent. And he was also loved by the greedy God who presided over the gold.
Wealth swelled even further, and he rose to a place where no one had yet reached before.
This is the story of the end of the glorious life of Yingjie, Sharoke Cornrogue, in a period of confusion.
Sharoke Cornrogue collapsed on his way to a certain deal. It was caused by years of binge eating and lack of exercise.
My life lasted, but I could no longer move my body or speak to it, only on the bed, watching the flowing situation.
His possessions, which had no head wife, no children, no brothers, were according to the law, and all began to be ruled by him on his behalf. His ”God” did not help him. On the contrary, by the hand of his head of use, he twitched and diminished his gaze.
Sharoke's business talent was never taken over by his men.
”Fool!
How many times would you have wanted to scream?
From Sharoke's point of view, a head of use who concludes a clearly incorrect contract without straying. To that stupidity, how many times would you have wanted to say it?
But that state of affairs will soon be over.
The day of my life was about to run out.
King's room full of luxurious condiments, on a luxurious bed that you can't even get with the people's lifetime earnings.
The richest king on this earth, is dead.
Without being dropped off by anyone... No, refuse to be dropped off by anyone.
I was just alone, empty, and finished that life.
... I had such a dream.
”... well, I had a crappy dream”
Shalok speaks to himself in a rocking carriage.
It was, as a merchant, my oldest dream, standing in the best place I could hope for.
It's the last dream of a man with gold as his god.
Oddly realistic dreams are colored with bitter regrets......
”Is it because I met that little girl? Bullshit......”
Sharoke laughs with her nose.
Imperial Empress, Meer Luna Tiermoon. The words of the empire's wisdom remained in his head.
”Something more important than gold...”
Friendship, loyalty, trust, gratitude…. Something more valuable than the gold said by the crown princess Meer.
”Nonsense bullshit, it's just beautiful”
Those are what Sharoke has been cutting off. No, it's what I've been selling off in a bundle of three sentences.
Friendship, etc. is superior if sold in a single gold coin.
I don't get a single sentence where I'm thanked, etc.
