The day after Ed and Georg packed their meals, they were taking together to visit the Lordship Hall.

"Long time no see, Raymond"

"Yeah, I never thought I'd see you again. I didn't mean to take you to the meeting in Goltberg."

It is something that makes you feel slightly disbelieving in those eyes that look at Ed while saying so.

"Yeah, thank you very much. Grefenberg is looking more and more healthy."

Ed responds with no difficulty without showing how he cared about that gaze.

The liver is sitting...

Georg sighed so in his heart.

"What, this time I need you both to do me a favor. It was just more convenient for the two of us to be together. With that said, I can't seem to see that magician today?

"Ah...... I'm giving that one a rest today. More like a favor, is it?

When Georg asked about an example magician named Anna, Raymond changed the subject badly. Perhaps you have swept away your enemies again, or you have been in a state of panic remembering the last time. Either way, it has nothing to do with Georg.

"Well, first, I want you to see this."

If it's not like purposeful root digging and leaf digging, Georg will soon cut to the chase. Georg removed a wooden box about 15 cm (L), 4 cm (W) and 3 cm (H) from the pocket.

"Is this...?

Raymond asks with a strange look on his face, but that look quickly turns to surprise. Because Georg opened the box.

"This is!... How stunning..."

I accidentally got Raymond into it. It's a necklace made of gold. It can also be seen as a considerable substitute at first glance, where gold is processed and joined together like thin chains, and the head portion is rounded and flat like coins, finely decorated, with small rubies embedded in the center.

"I'm going to have the same thing for five to six carriages."

"Oops... five!?

"Oh, not just necklaces, but earrings, bracelets, rings, glasses or large plates for decoration. I brought one this time to try... Ed"

"Yes. Yesterday, I had someone from our Chamber of Commerce appraise me that it would be about 850 to 1,000 gold coins in one car."

Incidentally, the value of gold coins in this world is enough to stand a house with a little garden if 200 pieces. There will be a slight difference, but it will be about 80,000 to 100,000 yen per sheet. About two to six pieces of gold per person.

This means that one carriage will cost between 80 million and 100 million yen.

Originally, metalworking techniques are less developed, and gold and silver are not decorated for large objects, but many of these smaller items are unprocessed or combined with gemstones. I just said that you don't take extra risks by adding extra processes. Human craftsmen don't seem to like what they've said about scratches and delays in other jobs if there's more effort.

Dwarves, on the other hand, are so many people who immerse themselves without even shaking their sides once they begin to focus, that they need supervisors. Though lately there's even been a competition over whose sculpture Georg likes the most.

"Ha... Ha Pik... What is that again..."

"So for the record, fortunately, are these well worth buying out the subpeople? I'll bring this to you two at a later date, at the latest within a month. Then I want the two of you to gather the sub-people. I want as many as I can, exactly 200 days from tomorrow, tomorrow as day one, and noon on day 200 as the due date. Until the extra minute comes, I have one right now, or, sorry, do well with your assets. Success rewards can only be bought at that price if the sum of the two is less than a thousand. But if more than a thousand people get together, I'll give each of them two extra carriages. You should like the excess."

To the words, Raymond opened his eyes. A total of five carriages loaded with this. Even if you buy 2,000 sub-men, you still have enough assets.

"Plus, when the sum of the two exceeds 1500, I'll give you another round to those who collected more. Well, it won't be the first thing, but if we're going to go over 2,000, we'll think about adding more."

It is no longer a wordless Raymond.

"I asked the two of them because they each had different connections and experiences and thought they could be collected more efficiently, and even if they asked just one of them to look at their feet, they couldn't deal with it as this one. Well, I wouldn't imitate that... So, what do you say, ride?

Though Raymond worried for a moment about Georg asking with a smile like a bad boy.

"Does this mean that five cars together are paid in advance and the rest as a reward for success?

And, I don't know if it's positive, but I've responded.

"Oh, don't"

"And will you give me and those of you who gathered more in Goltberg a better ride?"

"That's right. Only when the two of us have crossed 1500 together. Yeah, and don't let me get in the way, okay?

"That is of course...... then there are currently about 7,000 to 8,000 beastmen in our country and exactly less than half of those elves, dwarves, but what are those types?

"Regardless. If you narrow it down to one, you won't be able to gather that number."

………

Answering that much, Raymond shut up to think about it for a while, and.

"Okay. It involves such a business opportunity and, overlooking it, a selling ticket as a lord. If I can't do what the Goltberg Chamber of Commerce said I can do, I'm a laugher for the people."

Yes, I looked up and said it off.

"This time, however, the Church and other lords will surely look. As far as I can not understand this, we need to make a good adjustment to get together in this city in exactly 200 days, and ask Master Georg to collect this quickly…"

"That's not a problem. Even if we gather 5,000, it can be recovered. Better still, check with Ed about the location of the collection, 'cause Ed's taking care of something. Church people, if you're going to get involved too flashy, mislead me again, just like last time. If that doesn't work, I'll take care of it. Either way, I'm coming to check on you regularly."

"... accepted"

I do not want to engage with the Church if possible, but this time it is a decision that I will never fail, and if there is an element of anxiety, I will not hesitate to handle it myself.

"Come on, any other questions?... Sounds ok. Well, I have to get back soon, too. If the conversation has come to an end, excuse me. Do me a favor. You two are gonna crush my handful of human faces, make friends, etc.?... then we'll both succeed and lose immediately."

Ed and Raymond answer Georg's throwaway dialogue with a bitter smile. Originally hostile between these two is something that can't happen that way. There's no doubt that just one of them disappeared from the city and the corresponding turmoil, and if the Lords and Chamber of Commerce are also in conflict, it can have an impact on logistics and the economy. It's not the two of us who don't get it.

And the horns, and thus various men moved in various places, toward the increase of the number of men, which he had appointed two hundred days later.
