The Extra Prince Sets Out To Conquer The World

When lunchtime came, the party gathered at the inn and had a meal together in the room.

Precia recited the points of improvement she noticed during the morning training to Gilbert while eating, and Gilbert listened to Precia’s words while chewing bread with a face that looked like he would vomit.

Jade and Silua were engaged in a discussion about the contents of the grimoires and magic books I had obtained for them.

And Bahamut kept urging me with sparkling eyes about what the second bet would be.

Although this bustle was nice, it was a bit too noisy, making me slightly miss the quieter mealtimes of the past.

When I was in the royal palace, I could focus on planning while eating quietly.

After finishing the simple meal, I pushed away the dragon who was clinging to me, eager to bet quickly, and slowly read the newspaper.

“Oh, the fact that the Red Eyes have been subjugated has finally been announced on a large scale.”

Although the Red Eyes were hunted last month, the announcement was delayed for various reasons.

It was probably due to the political strife surrounding the queen and the visit of Marchiones Assazhad from the empire.

Gilbert approached me to escape Precia’s admonition.

“Is that so? When it becomes known that the Red Eyes are dead, it will be a festive atmosphere!”

I was about to tell him to diligently review his training, but I felt sorry for Gilbert and nodded.

According to the newspaper, the king was going to summon the Marquis to the capital to commend him for his achievements in subjugating the Red Eyes.

It’s faster than I thought.

Did Demiway try to make contact with the king under the table?

Well, since he was informed that winter will come to the Bastille Mountains for 10 years, he needs to make various preparations as a lord.

Ironically, without the monster hell, his legion cannot be maintained.

Since it is said that a treasure will be bestowed from the royal treasure vault, it seemed that the Demon Sword (鬼刀) I had been weighing against the Seven Star Sword would find its owner.

It will fall into the hands of the Sword Demon nearly 4 years earlier.

The Demon Sword is a demon sword (妖刀) that chooses its owner, so Demiway will have a hard time taming it.

“Yuan! Yuan, Yuuuuuaaaaan~!”

Bahamut was anxious to know the content of the second bet I had decided on.

“Hey, be quiet. You should at least give me time to think about the content of the bet.”

“You had time last night!”

“I need to sleep at night! If you throw a tantrum like that, I’ll bet a month later.”

I had already achieved the minimum goal of building a friendship with Bahamut anyway.

“Hiiing~!”

Seeing her flailing on the bed while making a groaning sound, I grinned.

“I’ve roughly decided what to do, so I’ll let you know after dinner.”

“Can’t you tell me now?”

“If I tell you now, you’ll throw a tantrum to do it right away. I have things to take care of too.”

My bet will be quite lengthy.

I intended to make the most of Bahamut, no, to make her enjoy it.

“What things do you have to take care of?”

At Bahamut’s question, I looked towards the port.

“Just this and that.”

Since I came to a resort town, I should enjoy it properly.

After Bahamut left in a tantrum, I was quite busy moving around.

First, I changed my face and went to the Comprehensive Trade and Industry Chamber of Commerce, where I sold the rights certificates of three merchant ships, whose values had skyrocketed thanks to Bahamut, to various merchant guilds.

If I thought about proper profits, it would have been best to directly price and sell the goods on the merchant ships, but since I wasn’t a merchant, I sold them at a reasonable price.

Even at a reasonable price, considering the value of the rights certificates of the merchant ships I bought, I made a profit of at least several thousand times to several hundred thousand times for each ship.

With just three merchant ships, excluding commissions and taxes, I earned 214 times the total money I invested.

The profits I will earn in the future will truly be in the billions.

“It wasn’t for nothing that Bahamut said the money she earned through stock manipulation in the past 15 years was more than what she earned in a thousand years.”

When I actually touched the real money, I could feel it. The gold coins were filling large boxes.

“…Gulp.”

“Wow… This is the first time I’ve seen this much money.”

My companions were also at a loss for words upon seeing the boxes filled with gold coins.

Not only Gilbert, who had a commoner’s sensibility, but also Jade and Silua, who were detached from money, had the same reaction.

No matter how uninterested they were in money, they would naturally know how many things could be done with this money.

In fact, the wealth I looted from the demon-worshipping Count’s mansion last night was far more than the box of gold coins in front of me, but let’s keep that a secret.

“From now on, whenever the young master does something with money, I will follow without question, whatever it may be.”

Precia, who had tried to stop me from investing in a piece of toilet paper, gave me a look of infinite trust.

It was like the eyes of a devout believer. It’s burdensome.

Moreover, this wasn’t even everything. I had also separately received promissory notes from the continent’s top 5 merchant guilds.

Although they were light pieces of paper, the amount written on the promissory notes was several times that of the gold coins in the box.

Suppressing the laughter that naturally came out, I put the box of gold coins and the bundle of promissory notes into my subspace.

“Yuan! Actually, there was an expensive magic ingredient I wanted to buy from the Neslic Guild yesterday…!”

“Yuan oppa! There was a reagent I actually wanted to buy among the things sold at the magic tower…!”

Jade and Silua clung to me with eyes that sparkled so much they seemed to have turned into gold coins.

It was the expression of mages who had seen an investor with an infinite flow of money.

Indeed, learning magic does require a lot of money.

“Alright, let’s buy this and that with this money!”

For now, I should buy a subspace magic tool each for Precia and Gilbert.

No, rather than buying magic tools, would it be better to ask Abasael to make them?

I can trust Abasael, who worked as an engraver for 10 years, more than some random person.

There are so many scammers when it comes to magic tools.

Then I’ll have to buy materials to make them.

“Hmm, what should I buy?”

I exchanged some of the gold coins for copper and silver coins through the merchant guilds stationed at the Comprehensive Trade and Industry Chamber of Commerce.

Then I led my companions around various places in the city.

I swept up magic stones at the magic tower and bought the outrageously expensive magic reagents and herbs that Silua wanted.

And while going around various merchant guilds, I purchased the magic materials Jade wanted to buy and the magic metals and steel to invest in my two escort knights, as if sweeping them up.

Afterward, I wandered around the market streets and visited strange miscellaneous stores, back-alley drug stores, and shabby used bookstores that appeared in the novel.

It was an extension of what I had ordered Gilbert to do the day before.

The things I had Gilbert buy were relatively easy to find and didn’t require magical insight, while what I was looking for now required discernment.

“Yuan, this knife seems a bit strange.”

“Yuan, this reagent bottle has a unique magical power.”

“Yuan, this book…!”

Jade followed me and noticed unique items that didn’t even appear in the novel.

I was a bit wary of buying things that didn’t appear in the novel, but I decided to purchase them all for now.

In the first place, the purpose of buying things here was more to prevent them from flowing into the hands of enemies rather than strengthening my companions.

Even if we couldn’t utilize them, they could become hidden pieces for our enemies.

It was better to let treasures rot than to let my enemies become stronger.

As the sky slowly turned red, we returned to the inn.

“Surprisingly, even after spending money like that, the box of gold coins isn’t even half empty.”

At my words, everyone was surprised.

“No, shouldn’t you be surprised that you spent nearly half of that much money in just a few hours?”

At Jade’s point, I chuckled.

“Is that so? Then I’ll surprise you even more.”

At my words, Jade became intrigued.

“In what way will you surprise…”

“You’re late! Late! Late! It’s already dinner time, when are we going to bet?”

Bahamut, who had arrived at the inn first, flailed on the bed and complained.

There was something red smeared on the corner of her left eye.

Looking closely, there was a pile of red tissue paper on the table.

“What, blood?”

The one who answered my question was Jade.

“Ah, Purple Dragon-nim kept trying to spy, so I blocked all of them. The blood on the corner of her eye is probably due to the backlash.”

“Tsk tsk, she’s such a voyeur.”

When I clicked my tongue, Bahamut felt wronged.

“I’m not a voyeur! Hey! Gray hair! I was just trying to find out where you were, there was no need to block it so thoroughly!”

When I looked at Jade, he lightly shrugged his shoulders.

“I only blocked it about 103 times.”

Bahamut, who attempted to spy 103 times, was scary, but Jade, who blocked it without saying a word, was also frightening.

I whispered into Jade’s ear with Navi’s power.

-Make sure to keep those blood-stained tissues. That’s dragon blood.

Dragon blood had endless uses.

Just because she was in the form of a draconian, not a dragon, didn’t mean the value of dragon blood disappeared.

At my words, Jade, as if he hadn’t thought of it, glanced at it and slightly nodded his head, responding with magic.

-I will definitely keep them.

Oh my, where did the innocent and righteous Jade from the novel go?

We haven’t known each other for that long, so there’s no way he was influenced by me. It must be his hidden greedy nature as a mage.

Yes, that’s right.

There’s no way he was influenced by me.

I confidently smiled and poured the unopened deck of playing cards I bought outside onto the table.

“You waited so long, it hurts my heart. So, did you bring the magic stones and holy water you promised to give me?”

At my words, Bahamut grumbled and took out boxes large enough for a person to fit inside from her subspace.

“This is the magic stones, and this is the holy water.”

I checked the holy water before the magic stones.

Now that I knew the demon worshippers in this country had not been purged yet, I could run into them at any time if I was unlucky.

So I needed to prepare countermeasures first.

“Is this divine power? It has quite a strong energy.”

I uncorked the bottle containing the holy water and took a sip.

A tingling and refreshing sensation spread throughout my body.

It’s the same as the description in the novel. It’s the real thing.

Moreover, the fatigue from running around all day disappeared in an instant, seeming to be the highest-grade holy water.

The holy water available in the market was usually low-grade, which only provided slight healing and expelled evil energy, and had a short consumption period.

It couldn’t be helped since it was an item made by novice priests who had just grasped divine power for training purposes.

Proper holy water, from middle-grade and above, could only be bought by making substantial donations to the temple, and the highest-grade was impossible to obtain simply by donating.

One had to prove their wealth, time, and faith.

“Do you know how much I had to beg the cardinal to get that?”

Seeing her boasting as if asking for praise, I grinned.

“You probably half-robbed it while making groaning sounds.”

I know her personality well, so she’s just talking nonsense.

Ah, I only met Bahamut yesterday, right?

Then she must think I wouldn’t know.

I put the magic stones and holy water into my subspace, sat in front of the table, and took out the half-emptied box of gold coins.

“Do you like gambling? The second bet is poker.”

I was going to show the magic of the emptied box being filled again.
