Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

Through a section of the roof and into a building further back, it became a circular and magical space.

There's a dirt floor square in the middle, surrounded by a stone staircase, or a step-shaped chair... a spectator seat or something?

Does that mean that the central soil floor is a place for some kind of competition?And when I think about that, Camarots starts explaining.

"This is the trading area for military horses.

A deal is made in the form of a horse standing in the middle, merchants, mercenaries, Eldan-sama and me sitting in that seat and competing while looking at the body of the horse.

Military horses are difficult to cultivate, they are quite labor-intensive relationships, and their value is commensurately high... We need these facilities to protect and manage them, and inspire those who grow them, which can be worth building a fine house - "

If you raise a good army horse, the competition will become fierce, and the tremendous wealth will roll over to the person who raised it, which is why everyone will encourage you to grow a good army horse.

On the buyer's side, if you don't buy it here, the good horses in front of you may turn into enemies, and even if you don't call them enemies, they may fall into the hands of their rivals… They will be desperate to compete because one of them may take a lot of damage and take away their hands.

It's an asset, it's a weapon... and it's a huge industry with amazing amounts of money moving.

Some places completely prohibit competitions, deals, etc., and there are places where all horses and ranches belong to the lord. If this happens, there will be no competition, and there will be no willingness to cultivate good horses. As a result, good horses will become unavailable.

"─ ─ The exception is probably for horse breeders directly under the Royal Family.

They are people of tradition and pride who have served the royal family for generations, so they grow good army horses without competition, but not everyone can do that... This form has been encouraged around here for generations.

Thanks to this, it is now known as the home of military horses, and some people have come all the way from King's Capital to buy it - "

Because it's such a worthy army horse, horse thieves show up quite often... and that's why this exchange is at the bottom of a livestock exchange surrounded by walls and guarded by dozens of guards... especially in this heavily guarded place.

"---The auction will not be held today due to special circumstances, but Eldan-sama will pay almost the same amount as at the auction.

Almost all horse producers in the territory indicated their willingness to participate, as a result of a call to participate only those who were willing to accept the terms and conditions, without any coercion.

Looks like you're going to buy a lot of up-and-coming army horses, sell them to Death, and want to connect them. "

That said, Camarots finishes his explanation and prompts us to sit in the right place before walking beyond the large door behind the competition venue.

The more participants in the auction, the easier it will be to increase the price, so that's what it means to want to connect.

And as far as payment is concerned... I wonder if Eldan would have trusted me to pay well even if I didn't compete.

When I started moving, thinking, "Phew," Arner and Colm followed me... so we sat down in the right position, as I was told, waiting for Camarots to be ready for the other side of the door.

"By the way, Arner, if you bought an army horse, who would ride it?

Because we have Bayers and Carvellans... do we split the ride depending on the situation? "

When I asked during the waiting time, Arnah returned his words with a sparkling look on his eyes.

"The chase may vary from horse to horse depending on the situation, but I don't think it's such a luxurious situation yet.

If you get a new horse, of course you should turn it over to those who don't have one yet... first you should turn a few to Klaus!

It will be necessary to travel to and from the village of Ilk, it will be necessary to hunt down the untouchables, and it will not be a problem to entrust the difficult horses because they seemed accustomed to handling horses... If Klaus were to drive a fine horse, it would also lead to an increase in the reputation of Klaus and the Maybadar Realm! "

In other words, as I nodded "I see" in the powerful words, Colm, who was waiting right next to me, also nodded loudly... Arnah nodded satisfied with our appearance and continued to say more words.

"If Klaus can spin enough, I want to spin it to the Narbants next!

A good army horse will be needed for the full operation of that Maa Wagon. If the workshop is more prosperous, it will also be necessary for carrying cargo. If the army horse is on the side, it will also lead to the improvement and development of horse tools and armor!

If we could get a whole bunch of them to make babies, feed them good grass, and produce even better horses, maybe our horses could compete here! "

When Arnah was so excited, nature and Senai and Ayhan began to get excited, and Maya's six children began to raise their voices with pleasure even though they couldn't swallow the situation.

As Ellie looked around the building, she became a merchant's face, and Seki and the others began to be tempted to apprentice Ellie... As she did so, Camarots returned with the door wide open... In the form that followed, the big man who pulled the thick rope first appeared, followed by an army horse who pulled his jaw and his neck big and his nose rough, but still kept in order and stepped forcefully one step at a time.

Black hair, a splendid twist... the tips of my feet are white, as if I were wearing socks.

"Whoa, whoa! Isn't that a good horse? Don't you think?"

As soon as I saw him, Arnah smiled and said so. I nodded with a smile and then looked back at the horse and returned the words.

"Rigorous or brave, you look completely different from the other horses.

I see, this is the army horse. "

"Ah, a bad way to raise a horse can make you a horse... but I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

Nice hairy, shiny eyes... strong feet, look around your waist, what a splendid thing.

There are words to the effect that the sky looks a little blue when you look across the chin pulling horse, but if you ride on that back, you must feel that way! "

What a conversation we're having, Camarots comes to us... and he gives us a bunch of paper that he brought from across the door.

The bundle of paper contains information such as in what order and where the horses raised by whom will come out... and details of how they were raised and trained... as soon as Arnab noticed it, he started reading the information close to his face... and I handed the bundle of paper to Arnab with a bitter smile.

Then Arnah sees the bundle of paper, sees the horses, sees the bundle of paper again... and begins to decorate it with pleasure, even though he is so busy.

From there, Arnah made all the decisions about which horses to buy and which horses to send to the venue… We kept quietly watching Arnah's solo theatre.
