Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)
Chapter 197 Peat Disturbance 3. Theodrum Royal Castle (Part 1)
The day after the envoy visited Professor Einbecker's house, a flying dragon flight was flown from Nicolam to Vinstat. Of course, the passengers are messengers. The envoy, who arrived in Vinstat over two days, reported the information entrusted to him immediately.
Theodoram, who was informed of serious information that could even change the national circumstances depending on the matter, immediately convened a meeting of the Council of State.
Regardless of the nature of the peat at stake, the Council of State ordered the academic team to identify the nature of the peat as soon as possible. The scholars, who were summoned to take whatever they wanted, worked on the analysis of peat the next day.
And while the scholars were working on the analysis of peat on the big wheels, the Council of State was working on the matter from a political point of view at the Council of State.
"... I was irritated by the fact that coal didn't come out anyway... peat..."
"According to the messenger, the fuel is inferior to coal."
"No, it would be wiser to secure what you see now than to want what you can't see. Just because I got this doesn't mean I can't get the coal."
"... I see. We should do our best to secure it. The problem is....."
"Hmm.... I wonder if Marcus and the others should know about this..."
"At the moment, we don't know where the core peat is distributed. If we succeed, it could be Marcus territory. When I think about it....."
"... we should keep this a secret for the time being."
"Hmm. Fortunately, the people on the ground are aware of the importance of the problem. I've been trying to get in touch with the envoys."
On the other hand, it is likely to be of great interest to Theodoram's national interests, and depending on the matter, it is likely to become a spark between Marcus, a neighbor. It was the unanimous view of the secretaries of state that Ya (no) should also be transported confidentially above.
Where policies have been wrapped up in these conditions,
"... okay? Although secondary, I would like to point out the problems that have come to light this time."
It was Lord Merca who raised his hand.
"Secondary issues?
"What happened?
"It's not where it happened. How many days did it take for this important information to arrive?... are you saying you didn't think about it?"
The Secretaries of State were gradually reminded of "problems." I was distracted by the contents of the information and didn't feel like going there.
"What do you say? It takes five days for an envoy from The Rock of Disasters to arrive in Nicolam. Well, I've put more weight on secrecy than speed so Marcus wouldn't mind... Nicolam sent me a Flying Dragon flight, but it still took me three days. - Do you understand?
I am the Secretary of the Interior who looks around with Giroli, but I understand as much as I do with him.... that you wasted a total of eight days before this important information arrived.
"That's not all! It will take just as many days for our instructions to reach The Rock! This is the time to fight for a moment!
I am the Secretary of the Interior of a body that is not angry.
"But... how did this happen? Didn't you give the distant magic equipment to each regiment?
Regiments deployed in cities such as Gregorum and Nicolam are suddenly equipped with distant magic tools... With that, at least Nicolam should have contacted us right away. Why didn't that happen?
"... let me explain it to you."
It was Lord Renbach who raised his hand against the curse.
"I found defects in the magic equipment I had deployed to Nicolam. No, the defect itself is a deterioration over time, and I don't blame anyone... but then there was a little trouble.... no, this isn't really anyone's fault..."
