The Spice Merchant and the Wolf Meet the Wise Wolf Episode 4 Review and Summary – Lawrence's Dream

In this episode, we meet the unfaithful merchant Zehren, who is once again invited by Lawrence. But Lawrence had no interest in talking to him. He understood and deciphered the plot behind Zehren's idea and decided to inform the trading company Milone about him. This is why Lawrence asked someone from the Milone trading company to follow him. This whole situation also brought Lawrence before the branch manager of the trading company, with whom Lawrence had reached an agreement.

What Zehren is trying to do is not a simple scam. He went to potential merchants and approached them with the same idea he had told Lawrence. Then the merchants believed his words, bought silver coins and stacked them on top of each other in the hope that the price of these coins would increase. But in reality, the price of these coins will actually decrease and then Zehren will be the one buying everything from them. This entire conspiracy was also supported by Medio Trading Company, a rival of Milone's company.

If the information Lawrence provided is correct, then Milone and Lawrence could make huge profits, finally realizing Lawrence's dream of having his own store.

In this episode, we get to know Lawrence a little better. He is not just a traveling businessman with no dreams or aspirations. He also wanted to settle down and have a family, and this is why he just like any normal merchant wanted to open a shop in a suitable location so he wouldn't have to travel around. year.

But if he stops traveling, what will happen to Holo? She left everything behind and went on a trip with Lawrence, but now that she knows Lawrence has his own dreams, she becomes afraid of loneliness.

Here, we learn how lonely the life Holo had to endure was. She will live for hundreds of years, while anyone who comes into contact with her dies. Therefore, it was only natural that her previous companions would all leave her in one way or another. But Lawrence promises not to leave her until she reaches her final destination.

Verdict

Today's episode packs a lot of emotion as we see the vulnerable side of both Holo and Lawrence. To some extent, both are very similar and their compatibility shows through their closeness. But we also get a nasty twist at the end. Hope everything will be okay with our main characters.
