Helping with Adventurer Party Management

"One in 20"

I was stunned by what Priest Vasquez called the magnitude of the burden.

"Isn't it too burdensome? In the first place, nobility should be obliged to defend the village."

In response to my question, Priest Vasquez shook his head left and right.

"Perhaps you need a little explanation."

Yes, I made a forethought, and then I started explaining.

"I think Mr. Kenji is right. In fact, there are private soldiers in the noble knee territory, and they are defended"

"Then why is there a cost to defense in the village..."

"Because nobles and owners who defend the land are different"

Priest Vasquez affirmed the reason.

"Aristocratic land is not all connected to one. It is often dotted in mosaic form as a result of complicated histories such as marriage, generational change and mutual transactions. Many of the villages to which I have been assigned have become such enclaves. You cannot expect the asylum of the nobility who is the owner there. So it's just around the corner, and you're going to ask a nobleman with a force, and you're going to incur that cost."

Still, there are some parts that I'm not convinced of.

"But shouldn't that cost be paid by the owner's nobility?

"From the muscle, yeah. However, that is not the case in reality. To make it right, you have to correct the laws and regulations of the nobles over the centuries of land ownership twists. That is something that a single priest and peasants can't help. So ask the Adventurer."

"The value of the adventurer is there," he said.

As I nodded to Priest Vasquez's explanation, I had previously remembered the results of a rural landownership survey I had visited to educate him about the Feast.

Even in that village, the owners of the fields were in a complex mosaic, with some areas that hindered the village's buildings and agricultural roads.

I guess that massive thing is happening in the territory as well.

Even in the original world, the land near the border, such as the Israeli settlement of Gaza, had become more enclaved and disorganized, and in this world, where there are many monsters, it would be even harder to draw the line according to reason.

Conversely, it should be possible to reduce the cost of defending the land by organizing territorial boundaries, which would also convince the correctness of the method of rearranging the requests of adventurers previously considered inside the Adventurers Guild according to their contribution to increasing the value or reducing the cost of the land.

Anyway, the situation in the countryside was understandable.

All you have to do is work out a plan based on this information.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

I'm going to quit church and try to sort out the challenges as I get back to the company.

Firstly, it must be recognised that the situation in rural areas is not uniform.

The rights situation of the aristocrats who own the countryside is complicated teasing each other, and it's impossible for me to sort it out.

Priestly awareness of adventurers also varies. Some are positive priests, some are negative priests.

We should start in a rural area where both conditions have been fulfilled, beyond the need for both acceptance in the countryside and the cooperation of the clergy in its implementation. If we can build up success stories there, the rest of the countryside must also become cooperative in accepting them.

Rather than devoting efforts to persuading non-cooperative people, we should devote all our efforts to making cooperative people successful.

Non-cooperative people, too, are not opposed by separate stereotypes, they are merely anxious or opposed by a lack of knowledge.

If you see it as successful and profitable, a lot of people follow.

The rest concerns the production of booklets to be distributed to the Church and how to pay for the Adventurer's Guild.

It will be necessary to discuss these issues with those above the Church.
