#Chapter 210.
According to what Baek-seol had told me, Lila managed those aspects thoroughly.
But then, Lila spoke up.
“Oh, and I found something like this this morning!”
“Hmm?”
As she said this, what Lila produced was a coin inscribed with peculiar decorations.
I accepted the coin somewhat awkwardly and examined it.
At the center of the coin was a pattern of two serpents intertwined. A strange design indeed.
“It’s made of gold.”
Moreover, the coin appeared to be crafted from gold, and its luster was remarkably vivid.
“Where did you find it?”
“It came out while I was digging soil to harvest this nameless herb.”
At Lila’s words, I furrowed my brow.
“In the soil?”
Judging by its appearance alone, one might believe it had just been crafted—it was so pristine and lustrous.
Yet it had been buried in soil?
Lila seemed to think something was wrong based on my reaction and grew visibly anxious.
I belatedly noticed Lila’s response and quickly spoke.
“Ah, I wasn’t interrogating you. I’m just fascinated. Thank you. I’ll examine it carefully.”
“Ah, yes!”
As I smiled and said this, Lila too smiled, her expression finally easing somewhat.
Thus I exchanged a few more words with Lila before departing.
On my way back to the Village, I examined the coin from every angle.
“Hmm, what kind of coin could this be?”
“Do you sense any magical energy or anything like that?”
“Well, at least I don’t sense anything.”
Naturally, from the moment I first accepted it, I had searched for traces of magical energy or anything similar.
It could potentially be a cursed item, after all.
But the coin revealed no such traces whatsoever.
Yet considering both where it was discovered and its remarkably pristine appearance, it was difficult to dismiss it as merely an ordinary coin.
‘If it’s the Forest, it’s quite deep within my Territory.’
Naturally enough, considerable forces were stationed around the Forest perimeter.
It was positioned close to the Village, after all.
If someone were to approach the Village covertly through the Forest, it would be dangerous.
Therefore, infiltrating the Forest covertly was as difficult as infiltrating the Village itself.
“Judging by its appearance, it couldn’t have been buried more than a few days ago, right?”
“That’s what it looks like to me too!”
I flicked the coin from my palm and caught it as I spoke.
“Or perhaps an insider buried it.”
“Hmm, in terms of likelihood, that would be the highest possibility.”
Baek-seol nodded in agreement with Jung Han-sung’s assessment.
For outsiders to infiltrate the Forest was an extraordinarily difficult feat.
Conversely, for residents to visit the Forest and bury a single coin was not nearly as challenging.
While those who had recently arrived or visited from outside were forbidden from entering the Forest, those who had dwelled in the Village for a long time could move freely in and out.
Especially since they weren’t smuggling resources like medicinal herbs—merely burying a coin and returning would be even easier.
“Shall we interrogate the villagers?”
At Baek-seol’s ominous suggestion, Jung Han-sung shook his head.
“No. If I sensed some magical trace, that would be ideal, but I don’t.”
Had there been evidence of a curse or something similar?
Jung Han-sung would have issued orders before Baek-seol even asked. But this appeared to be nothing more than a genuine coin.
“When people gather later, simply ask if anyone has seen this coin or the pattern inscribed upon it. I’ll record its appearance.”
“Yes!”
Baek-seol nodded immediately.
As they conversed, the two soon arrived at the Village.
So far they had only visited the Herb Workshop and the Forest. There were still many places to investigate.
Jung Han-sung proceeded to visit the other Workshops in turn.
The first place he visited was a Workshop that produced linen fabrics.
“Welcome!”
The moment they entered, the people greeted Jung Han-sung warmly.
Jung Han-sung nodded and observed the stacked linen fabrics.
“Impressive, truly.”
The quality appeared quite excellent even to his discerning eye.
In particular, several of the fabrics possessed an exquisite hue rarely seen anywhere else, and Jung Han-sung immediately recognized their nature.
They were fabrics created using the secret techniques he had personally transmitted after subscribing to the Channel.
“These fabrics sell the moment they’re made! The demand is absolutely tremendous!”
The Workshop director pointed to the fabric as he spoke.
Apparently, there were over ten Merchants who visited specifically to purchase these fabrics.
So they had implemented quantity limits per Merchant for sales.
“Ah! And regarding one of the manufacturing methods you taught us—the one we struggled with most—we recently succeeded in creating a properly finished product!”
“Is that so?”
Jung Han-sung had transmitted several manufacturing techniques at that time, and some of them he himself considered quite difficult.
So he had instructed them not to attempt immediate production, but rather to study the principles while developing their skills.
Yet they had completed it faster than anticipated.
“Yes! Please wait a moment!”
The director immediately had someone bring a box.
“Here it is!”
He opened the box and showed the fabric directly to Jung Han-sung.
“Oh, the finish is quite refined.”
Jung Han-sung marveled at the completion level, which exceeded his expectations.
The fabric possessed a deep azure hue that was beautiful in itself, but what was truly remarkable was its effect.
“It carries a dense concentration of mana.”
“Even without separate processing after completion, it has become this way. It continues to absorb the surrounding mana.”
Indeed.
This fabric possessed the ability to independently absorb and store the ambient mana around it.
It was truly remarkable. Even mages found it extraordinarily difficult to create items with similar properties.
“Impressive work.”
At this level, those laboring in this workshop could hardly be called anything less than master craftsmen.
The difficulty was so high that even accomplished artisans would struggle to replicate it.
“Excellent. I shall bestow rewards upon everyone.”
Jung Han-sung spoke with a smile, and immediately, all those working in the workshop beamed with joy.
Of course, no one would despise a reward, but perhaps what truly delighted them was the fact that Jung Han-sung himself had personally acknowledged and praised their work.
To them, Jung Han-sung was not merely a lord, but an extraordinary master craftsman who had imparted incredible knowledge and secret techniques.
“Then, carry on with your efforts.”
Jung Han-sung did not linger long and stepped outside.
After visiting several more workshops thereafter, Jung Han-sung finally made his way to the building where the merchants gathered.
Han-sung’s Territory had multiple buildings constructed specifically to accommodate merchants arriving from outside.
In the past, when I visited briefly, such buildings were unnecessary. The number of merchants had been small.
But now, merchants arrived at Han-sung’s Territory several times a day.
Moreover, they did not come alone—they brought numerous people with them.
And it was common for the merchants who arrived to stay for several days.
They waited until the items they desired were completed before taking them away.
“My lord!”
“It has been so long since we last saw you!”
The moment Jung Han-sung entered the building, the merchants inside immediately rose from their seats and rushed forward to greet him.
Among them were merchants who had been conducting business with Jung Han-sung from the very beginning.
When they first met, they had exuded a mysterious atmosphere, but now they were making efforts to appear familiar and close to Jung Han-sung.
It was proof that Jung Han-sung’s status had risen considerably.
Jung Han-sung gave a slight nod and asked everyone a question.
“Is there anything making you uncomfortable?”
“Not at all!”
“Thanks to your kindness, we remain comfortable at all times!”
Naturally, the merchants assured him there were no problems and spoke of their contentment.
They needed to present themselves favorably to Jung Han-sung, the lord of this territory.
In truth, these merchants did not conduct themselves this way with just any lord.
Some among them possessed greater influence than the rulers of modest territories.
They did not lower themselves so completely merely because their counterpart was strong.
The reason they adopted such a deferential posture toward Jung Han-sung was simple.
The goods produced in Han-sung’s Territory were simply too desirable!
Exceptionally fine fabrics. High-quality and diverse medicinal herbs. And the refined goods created from processing those herbs.
Everything produced in Han-sung’s Territory was premium merchandise difficult to obtain anywhere else.
Moreover, the prices were quite reasonable, so these merchants couldn’t help but be eager.
In fact, this time there was even one more coveted item added to the mix.
“By the way, when are you planning to start selling the Golems?”
That was none other than the Golems whose appearance had been shown to everyone today.
Jung Han-sung relayed to them what I had heard from Baek-seol.
“That’s still being decided. Once we have results, Baek-seol here will let you know.”
The Golems would be sold as models with their performance limited through various measures.
And even if there was inventory, I wouldn’t have sold them immediately anyway.
It wasn’t as though I was desperate for money, and the more eager the other party became, the more favorable the conditions would be for my side.
“Yes, yes!”
“Understood!”
They bowed their heads repeatedly as they said so.
Since there wasn’t anything else particularly to discuss, Jung Han-sung tried to make some light conversation and exit the building.
But then something suddenly came to mind.
“This. Has anyone seen this before?”
It was a coin.
Merchants fundamentally had keen eyes and had seen much from traveling here and there.
So I asked, wondering if perhaps they knew something about it.
“Hmm.”
“Well, that’s….”
But even these merchants showed reluctance upon seeing the coin.
No matter how much they had seen, it was only natural they didn’t know everything.
Since I hadn’t really expected much from the question anyway, Jung Han-sung put the coin away again and turned to leave.
But then.
“Wait!”
Suddenly one of the merchants hastily raised his hand. It was a merchant I was seeing for the first time, and he spoke while gauging the reaction.
“Well, I’m not certain, but….”
As all eyes suddenly focused on him, he stammered somewhat awkwardly, but he didn’t stop speaking.
“I don’t know much about coins, but I’ve seen something similar to the pattern engraved on it before.”
“Really? Where?”
“That is….”
The merchant carefully laid out what he knew.
It was surprisingly simple story.
“So you’re saying there’s a faith rapidly spreading among those who lost their territories and wander, and that’s the symbol of that faith?”
“Yes, yes! That’s what I heard. Since it’s a very secretive faith, it doesn’t seem to have spread widely, but….”
“Hmm.”
Jung Han-sung stroked his chin.
If what he said was true, it aligned with a possibility I had considered.
I had suspected that an insider might have buried this coin.
However, it seemed the coin itself didn’t have any special effect, contrary to expectations.
‘When arriving at a new place, I simply bury an object bearing the mark of the Sacred Faith in the ground and pray for a smooth settlement.’
Something along those lines.
Jung Han-sung nodded after considering it that far.
“I see. That was helpful. I’ll remember this matter.”
“Th-thank you so much!”
Leaving behind the beaming Merchant and the envious gazes of the other Merchants, Jung Han-sung stepped out of the building.
He then spoke directly to Baek-seol.
“We should probably decide on something soon.”
“Hm?”
“A religion.”
Jung Han-sung surveyed the Village as he spoke.
“We need to decide which deity to establish in the Village.”
