In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

"Kazuma!!! x2"

Megumin and Aqua gnashed their teeth in anger. This man had actually done just that! Without even a shred of hesitation!

Apparently, Aqua and Megumin had forgotten that this whole mess was entirely their fault, but was it important?

Good friends of course share happiness and hard times together. Sato Kazuma actually wanted to run away when his friend was in trouble. The two girls expressed their strong condemnation.

"Give you a chance to reframe your words."

Green was speechless. Is there something wrong with you three? It's hard not to wonder if this kind of thinking is inherited through genes.

The boy bit his thumb, sweat dripping down his forehead. What should I do? What should I do?

Oh right, time machine. Anyway, let’s find a time machine first. Shit! How can there be a time machine?

Realizing that reality was inevitable, in order to prevent further punishment, Sato Kazuma came up with a solution in a hurry.

He actually fabricated a plan out of thin air in the capacity of vice president of the Chamber of Commerce in an attempt to divert the subject.

One of them slid to his knees on the ground, and with a solemn expression, he declared his grand plan to the Earl.

"Lord Green, this is a great opportunity! A great opportunity to make money!"

"I was an adventurer before, so I know how to attract adventurers. We can make a lot of money! Money! Lord Green, please believe me!"

Oh?

Green really doesn't understand this aspect, after all, he has never been an adventurer.

Even when he was at his lowest point, he still formed a mercenary group to suppress bandits, kill subhumans, and at the very least, escort caravans. Green really didn't know much about those small teams or solo adventurers.

"Appreciate further details."

He wanted to see what the young man had in mind.

"So we can create some legends!" Sato Kazuma raised his right index finger and began to make up stories. He had played many handheld games, so he was very good at coming up with these kinds of stories. "For example, an ancient ghost emerges from the crypts, and whoever can defeat the prince of the deep dungeon can obtain the dungeon's treasure! ! ! ! You can even become the dungeon's master! ! ! !"

"Treasure! This will attract more adventurers!"

"Don't adventurers all like these strange legends? To become famous, or to remain a nobody? I think adventurers will choose fame. Even if I find out the legend is fake, I've already come here. As long as they can prove that they can make money in this dungeon, they won't leave."

In the eyes of ordinary people, the lower level may be dangerous, meaning that monsters will come out to harm people, but in the eyes of adventurers, it is different. The dungeon is a treasure to them.

If he hadn't already been appointed as a commercial officer, Kazuma might have chosen to continue being an adventurer.

"It sounds good. Anything else?" Green thought of the marketing account in his previous life, which was easy to spread rumors but took a lot of effort to refute.

Moreover, this is a different world. If the dungeon of the Medici territory is tied to the reputation of wealth, it may indeed attract adventurers continuously.

The truth is not important. For the Earl, as long as he can fool people, it's fine.

Seeing that the Earl seemed interested, Sato Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief; good, just keep going like this.

He swore his mind had never worked so fast.

"We can also set up an adventurer's supply purchasing station, specializing in purchasing special materials collected by adventurers from dungeons at a discount. We just need to use time and channels to sell these materials at a high price."

"We can also build a special adventurer's hotel for adventurers to stay in, as well as an adventurer's blacksmith shop, an adventurer's daily necessities store, and so on! After all, adventurers need to spend money when they come to us."

"Most adventurers are extravagant, and we can easily make money from their hard-earned money. For example, we can open a tavern or a gambling house. Oh, and I can also design a marble game called Pachinko. It's a specialty of our hometown and many people like to play it."

Sato Kazuma kept talking about related ideas, and Green probably understood that Sato Kazuma's idea was to use legends to deceive adventurers, and then purchase all kinds of precious materials collected by adventurers in the dungeon, and establish an adventurer logistics organization to make money.

To be honest, it's quite imaginative.

This reminded Green of the story of the gold rush on Earth in modern times. Nine out of ten gold diggers lost money, but most of the people who sold gold mining equipment and provided logistical support to the gold diggers made money.

Similarly, adventurers may not necessarily make money, but adventurer-related shops will definitely make money.

Moreover, as long as a reasonable purchasing shop is established, the adventurers will naturally sell the treasures collected from the dungeon maze to the territory after they come out, so that the adventurer's guild can make a profit.

A soldier can increase the security of the territory, but rarely brings direct economic benefits. However, if there is an adventurer in the territory, it will be different. His presence alone will make the territory profitable.

Some more conservative lords might reject the unstable elements such as adventurers, but Green, who has been driven crazy by poverty in recent years, is different.

As long as I can make money, that's enough.

“Is that so?”

"Do you have something, kid?"

Green realized that his thinking was still a little wrong. He was not very clear about how adventurers survive.

“That’s really despicable, Kazuma.”

"You're an adventurer yourself, yet you're still trying to take advantage of their wallets."

Huihui, who was still tied to the ground, looked at Sato Kazuma with an evil smile in silence. This guy didn't look like a good person at all. He looked more like a villain who was plotting an evil conspiracy.

Like a wolf whose tail has been stepped on, Sato Kazuma jumped up and down, his face flushed red. What are you talking about? What is despicable in a businessman's business?

"No way! Huihui, you have absolutely no idea how important publicity is, so stay out of my way and stop messing around!" Growing angrier and angrier, Sato Kazuma squatted down and poked the little girl's face with his finger. "And who do you think is to blame for this? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be making this up. Anyway, it's all your fault!"

"Why did you have to cast explosion magic here? Are you some kind of pervert? Why did you have to cast explosion magic in a place like this without even checking to see if anyone was around?"

Huihui felt as if her heart was stabbed, but she still pursed her lips stubbornly and said stubbornly:

"What's wrong with me wanting to release explosion magic?! The fault isn't mine, but..."

"Gah! Are you still trying to say something cool to cover up your embarrassment at this moment?"

"Kazuma, you're such a bastard!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. It's a good idea, but since you proposed it, the implementation of the Adventurer's Guild's logistics shop will be left to you." Green felt a headache when he heard the two people quarreling. If you want to quarrel, go home and close the door and quarrel on your own in bed. It's so annoying to hear your whining.

"If you do well, I won't be stingy with the reward. Are you confident, Kazuma?"

Looks like I was fooled?

Sato Kazuma stood up again and patted his chest with confidence to show that there was no problem at all. He was also very interested in the reward mentioned by the Earl.

"Hahahahaha!!! Of course! Leave everything to me!"

Yeah, very spirited.

Green smiled and continued:

"Since you're so useful, I won't bother with today's affairs for now. Regarding Aqua's debt from a few days ago..."

S.

The boy immediately squatted back, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he almost forgot about it.

About half a month ago, Aqua used her water spell to help put out the fire caused by Yui's explosion magic during construction, and this water spell directly summoned a flood.

This resulted in the construction of a castle starting from scratch. The compensation price given by Green was converted to 2,500 gold coins, which made Sato Kazuma's team, who had finally saved up money, owe more than 2,000 gold coins. If it weren't for the territory providing food and accommodation, they would not be able to get away now.

Of course, in reality Green's costs are basically all manpower and time costs, and 90% of these costs are borne by the Asians. In addition, materials and the like are not a big problem. The mines in the entire province are his, so in fact Green has basically not lost money.

But wrong is wrong, and Aqua must bear this debt. Sato Kazuma is a bit of a talent and is willing to help Aqua bear this part of the debt.

Considering that Sato Kazuma was still useful, Green decided to give him some discounts.

"I'll give you a 20% discount, and you don't have to pay the interest. From now on, half of your salary will be used to pay off the debt, and the other half you can use for yourself. You can keep the bonus for yourself."

"And I've made up my mind. I'm going to organize a team of adventurers to explore the dungeon. You should know that the first group of adventurers who explore the dungeon usually make a fortune. Do you want to join?"

He planned to have his people explore the area to prevent missing out on anything really valuable, and if they did find any valuable supplies, they could use them for publicity.

"Of course, thank you, Lord!"

Sato Kazuma's face was filled with surprise. Even though the debt couldn't be forgiven, it was still pretty good, right? At least he still had some pocket money every month.

He was quite pleased with the idea, because thanks to the useless creature goddess Akuja, he had been eating free food for more than half a month.

Although the people in the territory treated him and his men very well, with enough food to eat and meat to eat, as an adventurer, how could he be satisfied with just that?

As a modern time traveler, he has higher requirements for food. He also wants to eat cake, desserts and snacks. It's all because of that bastard Aqua that made him lose so much money and had to take on the debt for him.

hateful!

If he had the chance, he really wanted to send Aqua back to heaven!

"Come on, young man!"

Patting Sato Kazuma's shoulder beneath his green peak, Green began to wonder if this guy was truly so lucky. He'd been in the territory for so long, showing off his talents and earning a lot of money, but 70% of that money had gone to paying off new debts because of Aqua.

"Thank you, Lord Earl!"

"As for Aqua, let's deduct her two years' worth of holy water production fees. Is that okay? And Megumin, there are some projects that require your help with explosion magic. Is that okay?"

Sato Kazuma usually doesn't cause any big trouble for himself, but these two are like walking trouble-makers, and they must be dealt with.

"My magic isn't for construction, you Kazuma!!"

"How can that be? It was Kazuma who worked so hard to make the holy water!"

However, faced with the requests of the beautiful girls, other people might really be soft-hearted.

But Sato Kazuma wouldn't do that, his heart had already become as cold as stone.

"Of course no problem!!!!"

"You can use it as you like! I have no objection at all. Let Aqua use her body to pay back the debt, hahahaha!!!"

This stupid goddess Aqua should be made to work for free. She only knows how to cause trouble every day!

As for Huihui's explosive magic being able to work, isn't that a good thing?

Explosion magic finally comes in handy.

"Kazuma!!!!!!!" The two women screamed like pigs being slaughtered.

Satou Kazuma, today is also a bad day.

"I finally understand why your nickname is so true."

Green felt that Sato Kazuma's remarks were indeed a bit outrageous. Was it because he was stimulated, or was he driven crazy by inexplicable debts?

I swear to God that Green really has no evil thoughts towards Aqua.

It's really weird. She's good-looking, has a sexy figure, and doesn't like to wear underwear.

He wondered if the goddess had some strange ability to eliminate evil thoughts. Theoretically, Green would never let go of such a beautiful girl with goddess attributes, but now?

I glanced at the guy who was still arguing with Sato Kazuma and wriggling like a maggot.

He couldn't say.

Forget it.

The simple exchange made Green feel tired. After he finished explaining all the tasks, he rode on his wolf and began to return to the castle. In the future, he didn't want to contact Aqua again unless it was necessary.

Chapter 137 Belzec's Mission

The exploration of the dungeon was not very smooth. It seemed to be a super large maze with various high-risk unknown monsters and a complex natural environment.

Perhaps due to the long-term seclusion, according to the information obtained, the dungeon maze has its own biological self-circulation system, and various terrifying creatures and magical plants form a wonderful balance.

One person even died in the first exploration team, but thanks to Aqua's help, he was successfully resurrected!

The Waste Goddess is somewhat useful. According to her, the souls of the soldiers who died in the dungeon maze were trapped in the dungeon by a special force.

Originally, Aqua was unable to resurrect those who were not believers of the Akusis Church. According to her, the souls of non-believers might go to their heaven. However, the souls of the soldiers here were imprisoned in the dungeon, and they only needed to repair their bodies and reunite with their souls.

She even invented a simplified resurrection spell that could revive the unfortunate people who died in the dungeon. This spell was relatively simple and most magicians could learn it.

"Is it true that he's resurrected now?"

Green was stunned at that time. Even he felt it was a bit outrageous to see the dead come back to life.

"Yeah~ Of course! I'm the goddess!"

Aqua's nose also turned up into the air.

As a reward, Green forgave most of Aqua's debts on the spot as compensation for inventing the resurrection technique because in his opinion, the development of the adventurer economy here was unstoppable.

This is a dungeon where you can be resurrected!

Before, adventurers faced great risks when going to the dungeon. They could be killed at any time by the dungeon’s complex environment, traps, and monsters. But now they can be resurrected?

All we need to do is let the caravans spread the word, and adventurers will come in droves to experience the dungeon here.

This is resurrection.

Coming back from the dead is a miracle!
