Card collector from different worlds

Kim Noisuke and the others decided to cross the field where Cardy appeared in order to enter human territory.

The biggest threat in the area previously crossed with Veloslav is the level 10 Lamia.

As a result, we were able to enter the national territory without any further confusion.

Eileen and others said bumps, "Why so easily..."

"So, if you go this way, there's a port town."

"No, go back to Dwarf territory once, not on the seaside. There is a division along the way, so I will go to those who have the town of Urzan."

"I see."

In the case of Kinosuke, I don't know the name of the town because the terrain is not in my head, and I have no idea where I would get there if I moved it.

Once removed, it seems difficult to rendezvous later.

As the line walked down the street for a while, I saw a big town. That seems to be the town of Urzan.

I can tell when I get close, but the building is bigger than any other town in the tribe that Kim Noisuke has ever known.

"That's a lot bigger."

"Because it's a town that developed in dealings with Dwarves. And there's a lot of people in and out, but I think there's about the first prince's watch, so be prepared."

Eileen is already dressed as a man and carries a slender sword on her back. It's an outfit called Boy Swordsman, but let me tell you from Kinosuke, there's too much exudation of elegance to name a cardi hunter, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

The four went straight into town because there were no walls or gates around them.

"... it feels like you're floating"

"Right, but it doesn't seem to be floating, and what's wrong with it?"

I have traveled on foot and am tired. I also thought about starting the next day and decided to take the inn early.

Violator and Irene had plenty of military money. Unless you're so extravagant, you can afford a few months and stay enough.

"I'm just gonna ask you what's going on in town."

"What? Our destination is set, and we're leaving here tomorrow. Shouldn't we refrain from acting too prominently?

"There's also curiosity, but the town of the people I know was more relaxed. I thought you might have something."

Kinosuke left because there are some things you should know early.

"... ugh"

Eileen sighs loudly when she drops off Kim no Suke.

"You don't have to be so careful, Isle"

"But sister, if the enemy finds you,"

"Until I did get to Master Eugene, it was all like an enemy around me. But even the people who live here are regular residents. It's not a good idea to think of enemies and allies that way. It's okay if they find us, because Kiyonosuke and the others will do something about it."

"I don't know about that. Compared to the people who gathered at your fathers, they don't seem very strong."

"You don't know how strong you are, do you?

"That's not true. Master Eddie, Mr. Yudrov, Mr. Rylan... they all look strong, and they're actually strong."

"Oh, aren't those the enemies now?

"It's okay... if your sister says..."

At a young age, Eileen remembered the names of the older boys who played in the royal palace. Now they will all be knights belonging to the royal palace and working for the First Prince. The violator knows that if he finds Eileen, he'll be the first to come into custody.

So I said this to Eileen, who has the image as it is of the memories.

"I don't think Mr. Kinosuke quite threw it away either."

"Uh."

Though I didn't seem to get the endorsement.

At night, Kinosuke returned. Elev waited for it and went out to the drinker.

"Welcome back"

"... I'm home"

Kiyonosuke's cheek blushes on the violator who greeted me with a grinning smile.

Kim Noisuke has never been close to a young, beautiful woman in her entire life, so she doesn't know what to do at a time like this.

"Please stay away from your sister!

Irene noticed something and pushed Kim Noisuke's hips back gooey, so Kim Noisuke's usual condition came back as well.

"That's terrible. I've been purchasing information for a while. If you're not too far away, you're gonna have a louder voice to talk to, right? Can I hear anything else?

"Well, then you can come just a little closer."

Violator and Kim Noisuke looked at Irene smiling at her reluctantly.

"I bought and sold in town. Then I heard a lot about it. There are a lot of stories I've heard from people, so I should talk about it in half, but I'll tell them all at once."

Kim Noisuke started talking after a little worrying.

"First of all, it's been three hundred years since the god of cards has been gone from this world. There hasn't been a revision of the purchase price of the card in the meantime, has there? For that reason, prices have been falling for 300 years."

"I know, about that"

"Well, you do. So what's going on with the people's economy right now, it's like they're exporting food and all sorts of things outside the country. So the economy has recently collapsed."

"Huh?"

Eileen's face gets rough.

"Well, you don't know what that means. I don't totally get it either... I can't sell things at first, so I thought I'd try to take them where they sell. This is merchant wisdom. When I thought about where and how much I could sell, and I took the product where I could sell it, it just happened to be out of the country."

"Maybe that happens... maybe. Where and what merchants sell is not something that can be regulated. I don't think you can take it to another country without selling it domestically."

"I didn't know much about it either, but taxes are close to sales taxes."

"Uh... What do you mean, sales tax?

"It's about the taxes that people who sell things pay from part of their profits. The person who bought the item will be paying the amount of the tax in addition to the cost of the sale"

"Uh... do you call that a sales tax? What country's tax system is that?

"Oh, no, I guess I feel close to that. For example, I sold my cards today to get Al, and the equipment I have in my card store is loaned by the state to the shop?

"That's right. Depending on your monthly royalties and what you spend, we'll pay Al as a tax."

"The same goes for other self-propelled wheels."

"Yes, it's no different to lend Voral conversion equipment or pay Al depending on what you use"

"There are other things like this."

"Naturally. The system is all the same for equipment supplying Voral. I think Nara is a labyrinth city."

"Yeah. I heard the lift in general is. Besides, if it's a big town, it's like a water pulling device or something, like the power of a ship. They are paid to the state in the name of royalties. So, we common people usually pay taxes?

"Even if they told you to pay, you haven't paid before?

"Yes, no, that's not what I meant.... Cohon. A common man pays taxes to his lords once a year."

"Yes, for a period of ten days, each town will be equipped with tax collection equipment, where each person will pay taxes through their own (self) card. But it's not a big deal."

"The lord gathers it and delivers it to the country. So, that's what happens when a lord can use some of the taxes he collects as an achievement of territorial management."

"Yes."

If this lord doesn't pay taxes in the ten days he installs the equipment, he won't be able to get in and out of the money with his own card, and those who don't pay taxes will carry Al in coin condition to shop. By the way, if you're not a merchant, it's almost enough to pay a certain amount of money, so I don't really feel like you're being taxed.

Even if you can't pay taxes in the last ten days, they can always pay you if you go to the Lords' Hall.

The problem is the merchant, if he trades Al as a coin, he can mislead the tax without being recorded on his own card, but he can also lose the credibility of the business because he's not welcome as an act of not using the system made by God of cards, or because he's a terrible guy trying to mislead the tax.

Therefore, it seems that the merchant also pays taxes exactly.

"So, back to the story of the collapse of the economy earlier, merchants were going to sell goods they picked or made in other countries. Naturally, merchants pay taxes to their lords, right? But that ended it. For example, when wheat is taken to Dwarf territory and sold, a portion of the price is taxed. But if you sell it in the people's territory, if the person who bought the wheat grinds it in powder and sells it to the bakery, then taxes will go in. Bakeries sell to people who come to buy bread and pay taxes after all. If the person who bought the bread put it out in a lodge or restaurant, there would be a tax on it as well, so it would have been more taxed to turn the goods around domestically. It's gone now."

…………

"Lords have had less taxes and less money to pay to the state. I spend some of the money I collect on territorial management, but that money is naturally down as well. Lords don't make up their management, so they owe money from wealthy merchants to run their territory"

"... Really?

"Sounds like it. Apparently most lords owe merchants. That's what I heard from people. So, the lord has to pay off his debts, but his income hasn't increased dramatically in the last few years, so he can't pay them back, either way, and if he doesn't borrow more, management won't make it. That's when they stopped allowances from the state."

"No way. If you do that, the Lords and the Residents will be in trouble"

"Actually, I think I'm in trouble. Originally where the state pays to make a living, he was suspicious that paying taxes didn't show any signs of being used for anything. And the first to get stuck is like lords everywhere. Lords tried to twist at their own expense for what the country would not do, but this was also quickly stuck. Well, I borrowed that money and tried to bribe him, but the merchant also had a situation where he had to pay his debts first so he couldn't lend any more, so I suggested sending him forward for debt repayment, but this was also turned down. I can't help it, so it looks like the Lords sold food and materials out of the country to pay off their debts."

Eileen looked at the violator.

"Right, there were signs of that. Looks like he hid it from us well, but your father also seemed to have a lot of difficulty with the money"

"... I didn't know that"

"Of course, if you want your child to worry about money, it's disqualification. I pretended to be nothing, so I pretended not to notice either."

"Sister...... is your father and mother okay?

"We don't have much to leave, so we'll figure it out. You just have to make money on the field and the labyrinth in the first place."

"So is that. So what do you mean, the economy collapsed?

"Oh, the rest is a simple story. Food and the like were all exported to the point where they were originally consumed in their own countries, so domestic prices rose. So much so that ordinary people can't buy it. So some people run to foreign countries to buy out."

"It's impotent."

"Yes, it's unscrupulous. If it's near the border, it looks like it's still getting expensive shopping elsewhere. So, people don't have extreme items right now, and prices are rising considerably. And the amount of al that the common man has is increasing and decreasing every year, and he cannot buy things. Nonetheless, the lord is in debt, and every sentence of money does not come down from the country. So I don't think there's any kind of anxiety in any town as to whether or not we can live beyond this."

Not that something dramatically changes due to a coup d 'état, but if the economy gradually gets worse, there are often negative spirals that can be made when people start to realize it.

"There is no money in any town of the people right now, there is no object, there is dissatisfaction without assistance from the state. It feels like it's going to explode one day if this state goes on forever. Now you're just wondering why the country won't do anything for me."

"That's... because the big safe isn't open"

To enter and leave Al freely collected as a tax, the King must formally stand and appoint those in charge.

If we do not do so, the Great Vault will remain closed for as long as it takes.

"How many years since the king died?

"Five years...... that could be the limit already"

Kim Noisuke had heard of the term "hunger export." He said that there are countries that export without leaving the necessary amount in their own country. This is true of poor countries among developing countries, and that is the only means of obtaining foreign currency.

Now people are in exactly the same state as they are starving to export.

"I wonder what the royal palace looks like right now"

"Isn't that all you think about every day, beating a king recognized by the god of cards?"

That's what the violator said.

"Is that in the sense of making the right person king?

"No, it's the other one"

I mean, it seems Violator wants to say that he's trying to be a king, the truth, not a coveted king.

There is only one person who can make it possible, to say the world is wide open.

Kinosuke and the violator looked at Eileen.

"... hey, what?

The future is difficult.
