This is also the reason why the upper echelons of the group of Kakarachi are willing to cooperate with her in blocking news.

If Anastasia failed to show her due ability for a long time.

The news will gradually be exposed, and all businessmen will start their own actions.

Stockpile goods and stockpile grain, and then rely on the scarcity of grain to continuously increase prices.

Obviously, the final result of doing so will accelerate the self-destruction of the entire merchant group, but no one will stop, because once they stop, they are waiting to die, and they can at least die later than others if they act.

"Cursch thinks that killing others as an example is useful?"

Anastasia's indifferent little face showed a sneer-like expression.

When Crusch Karsten became the "Dragon Witch" five years ago, he began to prepare for the current crisis.

She anticipated the possibility of a great famine and was prepared, but she did not expect that the reduction in Lugnica's food would indirectly lead to the collapse of Kakarachi.

In order to save the situation, Crusch tried to block the country's gates, and used the strictest code to kill all malicious businessmen, so that this crisis could return to the track he expected.

"She underestimated the artifice and greed of the Kakarachi businessman too much."

"Even the nobles of Lugnica themselves will not let her manipulate them."

Anastasia shook her head and spoke.

……

In an inconspicuous mountain village in Lugnica.

Sauron got up from his shabby bed in a daze.

Dilapidated houses cannot shade the sun outside.

Facing the unobstructed light shining into the room, he rubbed his eyes.

"Are you going to start working again today?"

murmuring subconsciously

The 35-year-old Sauron felt a sense of fatigue in his whole body.

Since five days ago, his village has been surrounded by several powerful knight lords.

Leaving the village became forbidden.

A series of activities such as weaving, exploring, and collecting medicines are prohibited.

According to Lord Knight, from this month onwards, no merchants will come to the village to exchange supplies for them, and the market closest to their village will also be permanently closed.

The goods in their hands will not be able to exchange enough food to feed themselves, and food will become a very scarce thing.

In order for everyone to live without starvation, all affairs unrelated to eating must be stopped.

The knight lords asked them to farm.

However, in Lugnica, the kingdom of dragons, anyone can know that without the excrement and blood of the dragon, it is impossible to grow good food.

But those knight lords also said that this is a good seed from other kingdoms, which can grow good food.

Sauron believed it, really.

Especially when the knight master pulled out the long sword at his waist and cut down the big tree at the entrance of the village with one sword.

From that day on, they are like slaves who work non-stop.

Lord knights forced them to work with barely enough food to starve them to death.

Open up wasteland, farm, open up wasteland and farm again.

We are getting thinner and thinner, and we are getting more and more miserable.

After all the seeds were planted, all the people were forced to go to the jungle to find food.

But the food found in the jungle is not theirs.

Drying, dehydrating, smashing, some people following Lord Knight seem to try their best to store the food.

Sauron couldn't make any resistance.

There is no one in their village who can resist this sudden arrival of the knight master, they have extraordinary strength that is difficult to resist.

No one knows why the days have become like this, and no one knows what happened.

It's just that what the knight masters are talking about is for their own good.

For their good?

Anyway, Sauron didn't feel that his life was better than before.

In the past, even if he didn't have enough food reserves, he could go to the forest to find something to eat when he was hungry, but now, even if he went to the forest to find food, it didn't belong to him.

However, if the merchants who exchanged food with them really never come again, if the bazaar is really closed, then...

Thinking of the clay pots used to store food in my home, which have already bottomed out.

Sauron suddenly felt tense all over.

And at this time.

"Sauron."

A familiar voice sounded later, with a hint of caution.

Sauron turned his head away.

Standing behind him was Phil, who was once the richest man in the village.

"Someone contacted me for help, would you like to join?"

"There is a large amount of food hidden in that place, and Master Knight is being stopped. We just need to help move the things out."

He pointed in a certain direction and opened his mouth.

And Sauron also understood what Phil said at this moment.

A certain thought flooded into his mind in an instant, took root, and grew upward at an unprecedented speed.

There are innumerable foods kept by the knight lords.

'It must have been partly mine. '

Such a thought popped into Sauron's mind.

……

"In a crisis, businessmen save themselves, nobles protect themselves, and commoners just want to live well."

"But it's all people like this that make everything slip in the worst and most natural direction."

Anastasia sighed like a murmur.

The merchants stockpiled food for the future to save themselves, the nobles exchanged money through the merchants and prepared to flee before the collapse of Lugnica, and the commoners were induced by the former two to prepare for turmoil in order to live well.

"So you've started to relieve your tension with sorrow and sorrow?"

Lu Yuan looked at the other party and said something.

"if not?"

"What someone promised has not progressed so far."

The baby-faced girl turned her head, showing a resentful expression.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, sat on the chair and was noncommittal.

"I can't find a way to do it."

Lu Yuan shook his head and spoke.

If the white whale or the big rabbit does not appear, what can he do.

At this moment, Lu Yuan's face looked much calmer than Anastasia's.

It's not that he has a better mentality than the other party.

Rather, in a sense, Lu Yuan's "permafrost" is the one who really stays out of this drama.

Whether Lugnica is destroyed, whether the merchant group collapses.

These affected him, but not necessarily too much to bear.

Alice Roald had already prepared enough food reserves.

The only problem, probably, is that their development speed will slow down if there are fewer merchants to give them 'blood transfusion' from neighboring countries.

However, if the "Permafrost" wants to prosper, it needs businessmen, not necessarily the current businessmen.

Even if the "Crop Gluttony Reconstruction Project" fails, the "Permafrost" research on "the intensification effect of magic on plant growth" is still going on.

Maybe a year, maybe two years.

When the experiment is successful, with the reduction of food prices, a new group of merchants will still be born again.

After that, "Permafrost" is still booming.

Of course, if possible, Lu Yuan will try his best to save the famine that is about to sweep the whole world.

"People who have nothing to worry about look really annoying."

The purple-haired girl looked at Lu Yuan, and some baby-fat faces were full of displeasure.

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep

While the two were talking, the communicator rang again, and each word was printed on the paper.

News from Crusch came again.

"At Reinhardt's strong suggestion."

"Cursch wants you to spare some of your staff to help with the suppression."

"For this reason, she is willing to offer a piece of magic."

Anastasia turned her head to look at Lu Yuan, with a weird expression on her face that seemed a little like jealousy.

"She specifically emphasized that my participation is not allowed."

Anastasia added at the end.
