How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 507. Unidentified Area (3)

Then, I reviewed the taste that had just crossed my tongue.

yeah i can't be bothered to notice

“...slightly different from what the recipe says.”

The cooks who were mobilized to develop Coke startled.

The Coke I drank now was obviously different from the recipe I suggested.

I've reviewed it in my head a few times, but it's still different.

I'll have to check it out.

“Who is the guy who mixed this?”

The cooks hesitated as I quietly searched for the person who formulated this.

And at last a young man came forward.

“Is it you?”

I glanced at the young man with interest.

He didn't answer, just hung his head.

Hmmm, is there something strange about the atmosphere?

Then I took a quick look around.

“uh'?”

....Why do you think I'm mad?

Since when did you mistake me for being angry?

“for a moment! Now I'm not blaming you. what to ask before Why did you change the formulation?”

“You can tell me. No, don't guarantee it first. It is never intended to be reproached.”

I was just trying to catch the mood! I am! I can't even joke!

After admonishing him this far, the young man opened his mouth.

“I didn’t think there would be any difference in the results from other formulations, so I changed it a bit.”

So, why do you feel like you have committed a mortal sin?

This is just a place to make Coke, right?

If that's the case, I'm in trouble.

I was scratching the back of my head.

“. That's right.”

He savored the remaining half cup again.

“Yeah, that’s right too.”

After nodding a few times.

snap.

He tapped the young cook on the shoulder again and again.

“Good job.”

“. yes?”

What are you praising?

Why do you have a face that doesn't know how to praise?

As I said, I have no intention of blaming you for changing the composition at will.

I didn't expect the result anyway, so it didn't matter if I changed it or not.

just what's important.

“This is what I was hoping for.”

Because the combination the young cook had tried at will was the result I had most hoped for.

yes this is it

You can feel it as soon as you put it in your mouth. The spirit of great capitalism!

It is truly a taste worthy of a product of our territory!

I praised him again.

Truly fate chose him.

If there is a Coke god, then that god must have chosen that young man.

Yes, fate helped everything.

“He did well enough. It turned out to be the taste I was hoping for.”

“Is that so?”

When I was so happy, he reacted with bewilderment.

So do other cooks.

I won't give him a big prize later.

I was sincerely delighted this time and once again savored the Coke that was completed according to the formula.

....Yes, we are finally seeing the end.

The framework for my peaceful life is also being completely established.

There is no shortage of territory, wealth, and family.

And the play streets I want.

Even after that, my petty desire will continue.

At least, I think the stable framework for my future life has been completed.

So...

‘All that's left is to finish those loathsome things.'

I looked outside through the window and muttered quietly.

“Everything is fine, so now I can do without you.”

And soon the tail will be caught and exterminated.

Because the completion of Coke is smoother than I thought, and my motivation now seems to be skyrocketing.

* * *

And when my morale maxed out because of Coke, another news came.

“Arel-nim, it's about the investigation into the flow of energy inside the underground that you talked about last time.”

Dia came and posted a report on the investigation I personally requested.

“So are you done already?”

Thanks to her becoming the owner of the Magic Tower, I was able to easily request this investigation.

For now, the title was a review of ‘Can we investigate the mana flow inside the underground and utilize it?'

“What are the results?”

“...as expected, the current is only flowing in one direction.”

Dia looked at it suspiciously.

I guess so.

It is natural that the energy flowing underground has a flow.

However, it would not make sense to flow in one direction only.

Ordinarily, you might think that your observations are wrong.

However, there are times when that strange result is the reality.

“Is that so…

” “….The continent moves just as Arel-nim said. There is no doubt that the flow of strange power is confirmed.”

I had just told Dia that something like this would happen, if not the truth.

“so? Where does the flow of power flow from? No, where is it relayed and flowing?”

What I'm looking for is a relay point that manages this flow.

It is my opinion that there must be a point somewhere on the continent.

Dia gave me a report showing the flow and explained it.

“The expected point for that is probably about this.”

“…About this. That hurts.”

“That's right.”

Dia also agreed.

She understood why I was reacting this way.

Our gazes are now directed to somewhere at the southern end of the map.

A land mass separated beyond the continent at the southern end.

It is a large island-sized area.

And it's the only place on the map that's painted black.

“Maybe this was the place?”

“yes. It is there.”

Dia also answered with a little nervousness.

“The southern tip of the continent... presumed to be part of an unidentified area.”

unidentified area.

As a result of exploration and surveying all over the continent, most of the maps have been completed.

It is important for each country to know what is in their territory and how far this land extends.

Finally, almost everything that can be investigated has been completed, and now, thanks to me, it has reached out to other continents across the sea.

Even so, there are areas that have never been touched by humans.

That's an unidentified area.

A place no explorer would dare to go to.

On the map, it's just an area painted black.

“I reviewed it several times, but there is no doubt that it leads to this place.”

I couldn't hide the feeling that Dia was slightly embarrassed, which is rare for her.

I understand her reaction.

It is not known to the public, but those who have received a certain amount of education know about this place.

“It must be... the land of dragons.”

I scratched my cheek in annoyance that I already felt and tapped the black part of the map with my finger.

“It’s bothering me.”

“Is this the land of dragons?”

Shen asked curiously.

“okay. Apparently, the leyline that flows unnaturally runs through it. That's suspicious.”

After receiving a report from Dia, I sent her back, saying that I would personally think about it again.

Then I called Shen right away and taught him this.

However, Shen, who is oblivious to the situation here, does not seem to have a good understanding of the unidentified area.

“If it's a dragon... are you talking about that dragon?”

“okay. Well, didn’t there be such creatures in the east?”

“It seems that there was, but for some reason it seems to have gone extinct.”

....That's a pity.

“Come to think of it, I’ve never seen them before. I thought they were extinct as well.”

To be exact, there is only one in my estate.

Come to think of it, I've never had them come face to face.

I'll have to introduce you soon.

“As far as I know, the dragons on this continent seem to live in groups with the remaining dragons due to climate change and some other reason.”

There are records of large-scale migrations of dragons confirmed about 300 years ago.

Except for a few, all of them have crossed over somewhere.

And the area where the dragons move and inhabit is the unidentified area.

Well, the fact that there are dragons there is simply a fact estimated through the dragons' flight path.

It seems that no one knows what kind of ecosystem it actually consists of.

Because they usually don't want to touch monsters like dragons.

Hey, I don't have a hobby of touching beehives, so I've been leaving it there.

However, if the beehive is actually a little troublesome beehive, it is impossible to ignore it.

It should be dealt with as soon as possible.

“The problem is that it is very ambiguous to officially dispatch personnel.”

It feels like a beehive to me, but from the point of view of other humans, it is a demon cave inhabited by dragons.

If you ask to send an investigation team there, they will lie down as a group.

You can suppress the opinions of those who oppose you somehow by force, but that's not a very good way.

“Or is there a way for me to come back?”

“Okay, just you and me can go.”

With the worst case in mind, that's actually the smartest choice.

It means that you may have to assume a situation where you have to deal with all the lizards.

I don't know if it's mere coincidence or if they're involved.

The reason I hesitate is because of his greed.

‘If there is a cause, I'd rather take care of the work officially and bring it to this side's benefit...

Isn't it better to make a profit even if you throw stones?

The unidentified area is a land of mystery.

Are there really dragons?

And because of their existence, isn't everything interesting about what ecosystems or resources there will be?

I have a desire to make it clear that digging into this unidentified area as much as possible with this side's merit.

‘I'm obsessed, there's nothing good??????

I'd give up if it didn't feel right.'

Now is not the time to hesitate in regret.

First, we need to figure out what the damn bastard is up to.

“Let’s go by ourselves.”

This time, he would go secretly and then come back.

Understanding the meaning, Shen nodded earnestly.

“I must prepare.”

“But, if possible, I want to end it peacefully.”

“…Then how?”

Shen also agreed with my intention, but tilted his head as if a little embarrassed.

“I have absolutely no knack for that direction.”

“don't worry. don't say anything to you

I know you're bad at negotiating. For now, I want you to prepare to follow.”

Shen immediately agreed, as if he understood.

“And first of all, we’re looking for someone else to intervene in moderation.”

I glanced through the window toward the city, recalling a face befitting the appropriate intervention.

It was also fortunate that he left the hedgehog behind.

Rice cake to the rice cake shop.

And dragons must be left to dragons.

“Because it happened! Come with me to your countrymen's paradise!”

I immediately went to Delneph and invited him home.

“refuse.”

and was rejected

“???? What?”

Do you dare refuse my request? Is this Hogu lizard?

Instead of being angry, I twitched my eyebrows in excitement.

Of course, this dragon is the only person who can mediate the dragon's habitat.

I called Delneph and told him the matter right away.

‘I want to go to the area where your compatriots are, so take the lead and mediate so that there is no conflict with the guide or that side', he asked openly.

However, as soon as Delnef heard my request, he immediately refused with an arrogant expression.
