Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 164

**Chapter 164: Holgazán does business (3)**

Luoyang has been the capital of numerous empires, but due to repeated fires and reconstructions, few vestiges of those ancient empires remain.

After the center of power moved to Beijing, Luoyang became a city with a glorious history but no current political significance.

However, Luoyang has regained some of its ancient splendour thanks to the Righteous Martial Alliance of Sungcheon (), the largest alliance of martial sects in the world.

While in the past there were alliances of just sects, the Righteous Martial Alliance of Sungcheon, unlike the nominal organizations of the past, possessed real power, becoming the most powerful just alliance in history.

The main building of the Righteous Martial Alliance of Sungcheon grew every day, becoming a symbol of Luoyang.

The main entrance of the Righteous Martial Alliance was always full of people, whether they were visitors or those who wanted to see the headquarters with their own eyes.

An unusual spectacle was taking place at the main entrance of the Righteous Martial Alliance of Sungcheon.

“……What is that?”

Jongcheon Su, who supplied ingredients to the Righteous Martial Alliance, rolled his head to see a large tent mounted in front of the entrance.

It might be thought that there would be many stalls of merchants around the entrance, but the Righteous Martial Alliance bought all the surrounding land and opened a way to maintain the dignity of the headquarters. Therefore, the main entrance of the Righteous Martial Alliance was an almost deserted square.

At first, people opposed this measure, considering it a waste of money, but as the number of visitors increased, people began to recognize its need.

But…

A huge tent was being set up in the middle of the square.

‘The Righteous Martial Alliance will not allow it…’

There had been many attempts to install posts in front of the Righteous Martial Alliance.

But all these attempts were thwarted by the Righteous Martial Alliance guards.

Jongcheon Su, anticipating the same thing this time, looked towards the main entrance, but strangely, the guards did not seem to intend to move.

“Huh?”

Jongcheon Su, feeling something was wrong, turned his head, and a banner began to hang in the big tent.

Jongcheon Su’s eyes trembled as he read the text of the banner.

Sale of the Treasury of the Sword Emperor, the best secret book of all time ( ).

“E… that!”

That’s crazy!

Jongcheon Su, thinking that the guards would tear down the tent immediately, looked at them with expectation.

But the guards had only one serious expression, without trying to stop the tent installation.

“……what’s going on?”

As Jongcheon Su tried to understand the situation, he saw a second banner.

Guarantee of authenticity of the Righteous Martial Alliance of Sungcheon ( ).

Jongcheon Su’s mouth opened.

Despite the incredible text, the guards were just arguing about what to eat, without trying to stop them.

“E… wait.”

Did that mean it was true?

Even a madman wouldn’t dare swindle people at the main entrance of the Righteous Martial Alliance, claiming that the Righteous Martial Alliance guaranteed an item he didn’t guarantee.

And if there was no prior agreement with the Righteous Martial Alliance, the guards would not stand still.

“Then?”

Is it true?

Is there a Sword Emperor Treasure there, and they’re selling it?

Jongcheon Su, hypnotized, dropped the handle of his car.

♪ Clunk! ♪

The car bowed, but Jongcheon Su did not try to hold it, and he simply walked away from the car and approached the tent.

But before he got to the tent, he saw another smaller tent next to the big tent.

Branch of the Galactic Bank, Luoyang branch.

“……What is this?”

A rat-looking man, who seemed very interested in money, was installing the tent with a smile.

“The God of Wealth! The God of Wealth has arrived!”

The man set up the tent while saying meaningless words.

Jongcheon Su, feeling a strange feeling, quickly turned his head. He saw the inside of the tent.

In the middle of the tent there was a large bed. I didn’t understand why they needed a bed there, but that didn’t matter. Below, there was ink, paper and mats at regular intervals.

“What are you doing?”

Jongcheon Su’s doubt quickly dissipated.

One of those who were placing the mats saw Jongcheon His sleeping in the tent, smiled kindly and approached him.

“Welcome, sir!”

“…….”

Jongcheon Su felt stunned, but decided to take the opportunity to ask.

“What are you doing here?”

“Did you not see the banner? This is where you can copy the legacy of the Sword Emperor, the best secret book of all time.”

“W… really?”

“Yes, it is true. We cannot guarantee that it is the true legacy of the Sword Emperor, but it is a secret book found in the Secret Cave of the Sword Emperor discovered in Nasan.”

“W… really?”

When the man began to explain, people gathered behind Jongcheon Su.

“You’re not from the Galactic Bank?”

Seeing the letter (Plata) on the man’s clothes, people asked, and the man responded smiling.

“Yes. The seller of the secret book is our client, so we’re here to help.”

Of course, his real reason was to increase the number of clients asking for loans, but there was no need to say it.

“If they sell a secret book, why do they need ink, paper and mats?”

“Can you buy the secret book?”

“…….”

Jongcheon Su couldn’t answer.

If they really had the secret book of the Secret Cave of the Sword Emperor, I couldn’t imagine the price. Not even a thousand ounces of gold would be enough.

“The seller does not want the secret book to fall into the hands of a single rich person. He is a gentleman of this age who believes in sharing good things.”

“Oh!”

That was the moment the lazy man became a gentleman.

“Therefore, instead of selling the secret book to a single person for a lot of money, the seller has decided to allow people to copy it for a price.”

“How much?”

The man smiled and responded.

“Only three ounces of gold.”

When they heard three ounces of gold, people were surprised.

Three ounces of gold was a lot of money; having that amount made you rich, but they had to pay that to copy the secret book.

“You may think it’s too expensive. But you should know that someone offered ten thousand ounces of gold for the original.”

“D… ten thousand!”

Ten thousand ounces of gold was an unimaginable amount.

“Three ounces of gold is a lot of money. But being able to copy a secret book worth ten thousand ounces of gold for three ounces is amazing, isn’t it?”

They all nodded.

It was a great opportunity to get something worth ten thousand ounces of gold for three.

“Think about it. We won’t force you or push you. It’s not necessary. But for those who want to get a copy even if they don’t have three ounces of gold, we can lend you the money under certain conditions…”

The man turned his head, and Huang Chong, who had finished installing the tent and counter, nodded with a friendly smile.

“We offer exceptional conditions. If you want to copy the secret book, come in.”

They all nodded, but no one dared to take the first step.

People often hesitate about something new or an offer too good. Also, three ounces of gold was a lot of money, which most people could not save in ten years.

That’s why no one dared be the first.

At that point, the people behind started making noise.

“Get out of the way!”

“Come out! We have important issues!”

People looked back, surprised by the commotion. A group of powerful-looking people approached the tent.

‘E… it’s a scam!’

Jongcheon Su knew right away.

Sure, kind of…

But before he could finish thinking, the man in front shouted.

“They said it wouldn’t take so long!”

“I’m sorry. The preparation took longer than expected…”

“Give me the secret book fast! Those who copied it first must be practicing! Every second counts! We pay a lot of money, and now they make us wait two days!”

“Come this way!”

Menacing-looking people came in and complained. They approached the bed in the center, received a book from the employee, took out their own books, sat down and started copying.

“Can’t tables and chairs improve?”

“I will.”

“Hurry up! I want to finish soon!”

When the warriors came in to copy, people’s eyes changed.

A whisper reached Jongcheon Su’s ears.

“A… that person… isn’t Yang Gyeon, Shanxi’s Master of Invisible Fist?”

“There is also Shim U, the Divine sting!”

“D…it must be true!”

People’s eyes changed when they saw famous warriors copying the secret book.

“How much does it cost?”

“Three ounces of gold.”

I’d grown an ounce, but people didn’t know.

The opportunity to obtain the secret book of the Sword Emperor for three ounces of gold may not be presented again.

“I just need to bring three ounces of gold?”

“Do they lend money to those who don’t have it? Where can I ask?”

“Don’t push me! Don’t push me!”

“Here’s my money!”

People ran to the tent, and people who saw that also ran to the tent.

Wei Yanho, who was watching the scene from the wall of the Righteous Martial Alliance, whistled.

“Now start.”

That was the time when the Sword Emperor Treasury store opened its doors in Luoyang, which would make Wei Yanho a rich man.
