"Hey guys, nice to meet you"
I stood on the stage and looked down at the district representatives gathered in front of me against the construction of the rail.
Outside, the sun sets and we already have a deep time at night, and you can see what looks like a sleeping face. This time of year would make me lose my mind. I explain to them that I can only set up a place for explanations at this time because I am busy producing magic trains. Securing the place was also a hassle, so they are being asked to come into a huge warehouse in the craftsmanship district that they use as a magic guide train production site. Have you gathered 300 people?
For the time being, the impression I have gained is that no one has so enthusiastic an opinion on today's discussion. Somehow I disagree with the rail construction and just came to ask my opinion lightly today. Something like that?
Good. Good. I think it would be easy for me to agree with this vibe.
"The general circumstances are heard through Mr. Rotzon. So you're all opposed to building rails to run the Magic Train, okay?
I looked around at them from above, but I could hear them nodding or blurring as if they were a sign of consent.
"And the reason for this is that the dragon is sleeping deep underground in this Helanese territory, and one day when I wake up, when there's a rail on the surface, it's going to spoil the dragon's mood"
He also indicated his willingness to agree to this story. There seemed to be some slightly different stories spread, and some of them whispered to others nearby.
I'll give you a minute. For your convenience.
"You may be worried. But he despises me, this lord."
I stuck one hand forward and opened my palm. Sink as much air into your stomach as you want, and let the words out loud.
"I assure you in the name of Kurli Helan on this occasion that what you are worried about will not happen in the future!!
Whoa. An exclamation leaked from the inhabitants. Sounds like it had the effect of making a voice out of my belly. With all this affirmation, even a lie would be hard to spot.
"Some will still be anxious, even if it is affirmed"
This is true. I'm sure there were many who raised an exclamation, but there were quite a few who did not pluck their skeptical faces.
"Don't worry. Because I have a good basis.... That would make you all tired of getting together late at night. Actually, I'm asking the ladies of the artisanal district to prepare a little treat. I haven't had dinner yet either, so why don't you join me?
Many of them rushed from afar, apparently putting up with considerable hunger. Almost everyone smiled and agreed to this.
On my signal, the ladies of Craftsman's Town, led by Ellie, will bring tons of food into the warehouse. Extravagant dishes featuring meat that artisans carry tables and arrange on top of them.
"Come on, come on, everybody. Eat and eat."
It's a standing style. Your wife will pour a smile on what you want to drink.
The people in the artisanal district are in favor of basics, magic trains and the construction of rails. Naturally, it would be ridiculous if the people who make it were against it. That's why they're fully cooperating in today's persuasion.
The meal went on to be fun.
Let me eat, let me drink, let a group of wives led by Ellie get in the mood, and even later this night......
Heh heh, there won't be any normal thoughts left for them anymore. There's no way this persuasion is working anymore.
By the time I finished my meal, unlike me with a neat head, the opposite group of faces lined up with happy faces and even forgotten what they were doing anymore today.
"Gentlemen, how was your delicious meal?
Back on the stage again, he called on them.
Whoa!? And so they realize their original purpose, they come together again in front of the stage.
"Well, my stomach's swollen, and shall we get back to business? You were stopping at the place where the story was that it was okay to build rails on this land. I'd like to talk about the rationale."
He who seems to have slept hungry. who have been gutted with alcohol. Heh, heh, heh, heh. Shall we hurry up and move on?
"Gentlemen, did you not hear another rumor at the same time that the dragon sleeps?
Hmm? and all those who see the faces of those nearby as troubled, but someone uttered a long-awaited word.
"We hear rumors of dragon blood flowing through Master Kurli's body."
"Yes, you're right!
Referred to the young man who answered with numbness. You, well said. Well, he's a young man in an artisanal town who's been planted for a long time. You just helped me.
"This is fine, because it's a delicate story. It's hard to cut it out of yourself, but I'm actually a dragon and a human half."
Huh!? and a spreading voice of amazement. The inhabitants can't hide their surprises in the exact cumming out.
So the rumors are true.
Dragon blood!? No way!?
No, Master Kurli can do that. Indeed!
At once the venue was enlivened. That's good. That's good, just keep convincing me.
But at this rate, you don't seem to be listening to me, so I signed Ellie out.
She opens the lid of the large pan she carried into the warehouse and asks the group for the leaked hot air with her wives.
The scent also reaches me on the stage. They boiled the healing herbs and let them smoke the scent, too. They were talking enthusiastically, but gradually began to calm down. It is a vanilla that should be smelled before sleep. My head would be full of sleep time already.
Anticipate it and resume the conversation.
"There's nothing I can do in particular because of the dragon's blood, but one thing! I can't do what you can."
"What is it?
A young man from Sakura, an artisanal town, asked.
"You can interact with the dragon. Actually, the dragon that sleeps underground is on my cousin. I will not dwell on it because it is also a little different in complexity from human blood relations. But my cousin is not opposed to the construction of the rail!
"Why!
The young man in the craftsmanship returns a reply to his good condition. Um, let's give him plenty of rewards later.
"You all know the demon stone we're going to use to build this rail, right? Actually, it works on the shoulder."
The young people of the artisanal district were also surprised at this and were unable to respond well. The same goes for the inhabitants, of course.
"It's a mountain where demonic stones have been found, but deep in that basement, in fact, is the base of the neck of your cousin. The fact that there are a large number of demonic stones makes the blood flow at the root of the neck better. Of course, it's for dragons only. Don't try it, everyone."
Okay, well, finally, the story goes into big trouble.
A steam with aromatherapy effect on Ellie, sign him to stop saying it.
Instead, I let him bring me something.
It is a paper as long as two meters that was used in the blueprint of the Magic Train. I am using it today for a different purpose.
Drawn on a piece of paper open for three or four people was the full body of a bright red dragon. The model is the dragon Larser was on. Pubeye didn't dress up a bit, so I'm in this dra contest.
"This is my cousin, my lord. So, the Demon Stone was here."
and points around the root of the neck.
"My cousin's shoulder stiffness has been relieved a long time ago, so I will remove the Demon Stone from here. So, from now on, this is how I lay it down."
Sooo follow a single line. It goes smoothly against the spine of the dragon and stops at the tip of the tail.
"And by dispensing the Demon Stone like this, the blood flow boost caused by the Demon Stone effect is dull along the spine of your cousin. What comfort. Synonymous even with constant massage!!
Whoa, cheers.
"We are not a division where nothing rails want to lay. Think of your cousin's body. All right, I'm done. From now on, I don't call it a rail. Let's call it 'The Dragon's Spine'. A demon train running over the dragon's spine will put moderate pressure on the back of his cousin, which will make him sleep comfortably. Forget about the human world. How about that!? You guys still disagree with such a great plan!
"No! I won't disagree!
The other inhabitants continued to raise their voices to the artisanal city youth who shouted.
"Rail Agreed! No, the dragon spine agrees!!
"Dragon Spine Agree!!
"Dragon Spine Agree!!
Big chorus echoing in the warehouse.
They returned with that tension. I'm sure you'll explain it to their district with that enthusiasm.
Heh heh, persuasion is a great success. Now the Magic Train plan will be getting more and more on track.
I was even willing to gather more personnel to build the rails.
"You worked well. If there's anything you want in reward, give it to me."
After the opposition group left, he went to the young man who worked hard in the role of Sakura.
I told him I'd reward him, but he doesn't seem very happy about it.
I'm worried sick.
Uh, you don't make any unusual demands, do you? Before I say it economically, it's not cool to say no.
"Uh, I don't want anything else."
"Gold?"
"No, no, that's not why. Um, I want to work that whole time. Probably gonna be a pretty long job planning this magic train, huh? That's why I want to make sure I'm not disconnected somewhere along the way. I enjoy this job, so at the end of the day, let me do my job until the train runs to Wangdu."
What is this guy? Let your eyes shine, for Christ's sake!
I don't want to work for humans, but isn't that the default? You think you can run out of key members in an understaffed situation!?
They demanded a reward that I didn't even wish for.
"What's your name?
"Huh? Oh, my name is Gracieu"
"All right, let's work together till the end, Gracie. I'm counting on you."
"Thank you. I'll follow you to the end."
This Glasshew youth, somehow becomes a key figure in the Magic Train project.
I'll eventually have him appointed head of the Magic Train, but after it's done, it's still a long way to go.
