"No, good, good, good"
"Your Highness, your Highness."
"Oh. Skeleton has honestly accepted, and will improve crop production from now on. Plus, with Skeleton, you can fight bandits against you. The village of Bath, for once, is fine."
As a result, five skeletons and three cow skeletons were dispatched to the village of Bath.
Perhaps ten more bodies should be dispatched when we can make a few more skeletons, since the condition is that there are originally only less than thirty villages with fifty inhabitants. At that time, take the cow skeleton too.
Well, whatever it is, the outlook for the future is bright.
"Besides, I can make the next skeleton without any problems. I don't want to cut my little finger anymore."
"Yes, sir, it's yummy. No."
"Oh. I didn't think you'd give me so much bone."
"See, he gave it to me"
Looking back with Chris' words, there are two crates in the carriage.
In one of them is the human bone. And he thought not, and said unto him, I want the bones to be divided in the village of Bath.
"I see you need bones to make a soldier of the skeleton," said Elysio, convinced him softly, digging the bones out of the village's public cemetery. It seems that it was a buried cemetery with no one to provide for, such as the unaccompanied and the travellers.
If it were a bone that had no ties to the village, I would have appreciated it. Exactly, I'm not going to get the ancestors of the villagers.
"With all this, you're going to be able to make about a hundred bodies."
"Us too, make"
"Right. I never thought a cow would be so happy."
"Ushi, Benri"
"Honestly, I just pushed it because I didn't want it."
I just didn't think it would help, like a cow skeleton.
Still, the village chief said that there are many roles such as carrying loads, working hard to open doors, and farming with specialized tools. They used to have one cow in the family. Though there was no more to eat in the repeated bandit raids and we were to let go of crying.
The next opportunity might be to get more cow skeletons on board.
"I hope the other villages will accept it at this rate"
"No?"
"Bath's village just accepted me because I'm in distress. It doesn't necessarily mean they'll accept it in other villages."
"Really?
"Oh."
Although I'm totally used to it, skeletons are like monsters.
And when they told me to use the monster for my workforce, I said, "You can't let that monster into a village! may be rejected with words such as"
To that end, it would be a good idea to start with an experimental operation in the village of Bath to spread the usefulness of skeletons around the Elysio village chief. For that reason, I asked him to tell the other villages a little once he had some vision for farming in the skeletons.
"Come on...... you finally see it"
"Yes."
The time is already evening.
Even Skeleton Horse, where you can pull the carriage without rest, still takes a long time to get back and forth to the villages in the territory. If the village of Bath is still in close proximity, but you are going to go around the village of Thelma, which is the most peripheral on the map, you are going to need to stay just one night on the road.
And the town where my mansion finally arrives - the entrance to the town of Fulcus.
The guard who was guarding the gate.
"Hih! A monster ooh!!
……
You know what?
The guy who was on his turn in the morning, could you at least tell him a word?
I gave the same explanation as in the morning and somehow convinced the guards.
Well, I've seen it with a lot of skepticism, even after I've properly presented my ID as a lord and explained that I'm an organism created by witchcraft. Morning guards probably hadn't pursued it so much because they were still out of town.
I explained for a while, then they checked my luggage, made sure the skeleton hose wouldn't hit me, and I was finally released.
"Ha... it took me a while"
"Yes. I'm hungry"
"Today, let's buy something and go home. And then there's the vegetables that you shared with me."
"Yes."
I only have five silver coins in hand, so I don't think I can buy a lot of stuff.
For the last three days or so, Chris has only eaten salted vegetables. I also tried recommending dried meat but didn't try to eat it at all.
I have also heard stories about the inherited Artve not eating meat on a pedigree basis and having lived on vegetables alone. Perhaps Chris only eats vegetables as well.
And they divided all the vegetables in the village of Bath. I could only think of a few things to split from them in distress, but instead of giving them the skeletons.
Elysio Municipal Manager split it with pleasure. I don't know what the villagers think, but I want them to be convinced because that's all I've provided for the workforce.
"Ha... but"
Open your gaze from the surrounding townspeople as you walk the town's boulevard to Skeleton Horse.
Again, Skeleton Horse is a surprise to the guards. From the townspeople's point of view, it wouldn't be strange to think that a monster was walking around town.
He who watches far-flung or the gendarmerie says, "There's a monster!!" Some have reported it. By the way, it has already been three times to explain to the gendarmerie who came along with such a report.
"The salaries of the guards and the gendarmes must also be paid from tomorrow's tax revenues"
"Are you kidding?
"Yes. Half of the tax revenue is taken to pay off the debt, and the remaining third is the salaries of soldiers. And then when I count expenses and all that... I wonder how long I'll stay."
"Bimbo"
"Don't be honest with me. Because it makes me sad."
Think about it, a soldier's salary is pretty high.
Then it is necessary to be a guard who is sleeping at the entrance to the town, or a gendarmerie who is a vigilante in the town.
For one thing, why don't we skeleton those soldiers, too?
"Hmm..."
If you're a skeleton, you don't need a subsequent salary if you make it. And since Skeleton doesn't sleep originally, he can do it without a problem at bedtime. You don't have to take turns.
It may be difficult to manage the way in and out of town, but if you can do it by writing around it somehow, it would be a job Skeleton can do as well.
Might be good.
That way, we won't need soldiers. In other words, payroll payments to soldiers, which account for one sixth of all tax revenues, remain profitable. Once that much fiscal room has been created, we will be able to charge another part of the money.
That way we might be able to hope for more territorial development -.
……
"Oh, my God?
"... No, you can't. It's nothing."
To Chris's doubt, I smile back.
I thought it might just be a little good, but we should still throw it away. Just because you have high spending on paying soldiers, you can't let Skeleton do the guards.
Because.
The town where Skeleton's guarding, maybe people won't be able to lean on it.
