Isaac

“Of course. I'm just wondering how Dark Elves' hobbies can seem natural death without poison or weapons." ”

“You hear me? I'll have the guards on their way out soon, so if you have any bullies, make a list." ”

Isaac's orders to write the book of killings wrap around his head, exhausted. Isn't assassination conspiracy supposed to happen in a dark room in a dark atmosphere?

The fact that you conspired an assassination publicly at a meeting of the practitioners made it clear that the Office of Justice would send an investigator right away.

The practitioner looks at Livilla with a glimpse of hope towards controlling the young Isaac. However, Libria sighed and said to Isaac, despite the desperate gaze of practice.

“You don't have to go to the assassination. ”

“Why?”

With Isaac's disappointed expression, as if he had heard his mother say, "Stop playing and eat," Libya gives a slight glance as if a tingling headache were coming.

“You may have forgotten, but Pendleton has declared his patronage to the Duke of Wolfgang. Declare Independence War and Pendleton will intervene without the Elves having to appear. ”

“Then it's not funny... ”

Once again, as Isaac grumbled and mourned Lantern's words, the practitioner said he would proceed as urgently as he had instructed in case Isaac was useless. The conference room was left with only Lancerton, Liberia, Codnell and three others.

“I think we've cleared up the local broadcast. Now let's deal with this. What happened to the mines? ”

Livilla, who looks different from Isaac, who handles things naturally like water without a fuss, quickly raised her head to Isaac's words.

“Fortunately, there were no casualties, although parts of the single-person district had collapsed. ”

“Use all civilians to hurry up with recovery work. People need to be comfortable sleeping. Next?”

While thinking about how comfortable the narrow space is, codenel said.

“We're seeing an increase in cancellations due to this incident. ”

“Take them all and offer them a letter of apology and access to the city facilities for half the price. Next?”

“…… Counting the damage caused by the depots. The merchants who were storing items in the warehouse are demanding damage compensation. ”

“Ask the painting crew to cooperate and repurchase the inventory. What you can deliver to the merchants' customers is repaid in real time using the rest of the aircraft. It'll be cheaper than paying for it. The merchants will be happy to know that they can protect their credit. ”

“But the time to transport those many things again.... ”

“With fewer reservations, we'll be able to spare time on the flight. Deploy all available aircraft to supply transport. And contact Magellan at the Supply Office to order a new aircraft immediately. Next.”

“The biggest problem is the tools. Most of the tools were destroyed by the Mana storm that erupted at the stable mines, causing a complete monopoly to cease functioning. ”

“Ask the horse tower that made the item for repairs. ”

“But the Mana Storm also destroyed the items in the Horse Towers Workshop. Horse Towers will not be able to cooperate until the Elves and Northbears are compensated for their damage and their broken equipment. ”

“I'm going to eat it with my bare skin on my face because you're smiling and begging. Tell the Horse Tower Representatives I'm pissed off right now. ”

“… OK. ”

“So all the urgent matters are taken care of now? ”

“I think I've got it rough……. ”

In Isaac's words, Codnell blurs as he feels a strange feeling as things get sorted out in an instant.

Typically, New Port City's work order is assembled and handed over to Libya, Rizley, Codnell or Calden when several payment documents are created. Then you go to Isaac with only those documents that require final payment. And the hassle and procrastination goes through the stages of growing up and calming Isaac and accepting payments.

There are quite a lot of time lost in the meantime. However, it was the first time Isaac stepped forward, and even though Sudan was said to be violent, his work was done in fourteen thousand ways.

While this was normal elsewhere, I realized that it was not usual for Isaac to work with the idea that this was the difference between posting paperwork to the top decision maker and working directly. Isaac was awkward, giving instruction to others to make sure they felt the same way.

“Is it so strange that I work? ”

Noticing the atmosphere of the three people, Isaac smiled and asked, but the three of them cleared their eyes.

“The most important issue remains. ”

“What is it?”

“I have no money. ”

He also tried to squint at Codnel's words, but he shook his head quite seriously.

“It's not crying this time, it's real. I just had a very tight budget to plan for, and everything fell apart. This is a Horsestone Mine. We don't have any stakes in it, so we can only compensate for damage caused by the Elves and the Northbears' oppressive search. But the money we have to spend on restoring damage to the Storage Zone is not even close to being accounted for. Of course, following Isaac's instructions can reduce some of the damage, but the biggest damage is credit. ”

“Not really. The warehouse is blown away and you don't want to leave anything out again." ”

In the old days, New Port City was the only alternative, so even if credit was compromised, the appearance of aircraft and railways also changed the flow of logistics.

A slight detour or loss has provided an environment in which goods can be transported and traded with the exception of New Port City by rail and aircraft.

“We also need money to get into buildings and citizens' casualties from sporadic combat in the city, mining and restoration operations in the city, and we need to calculate the money we need to fund the Earl and the money he needs to operate. ”

“Don't you already have a budget? ”

“Fortunately, there are plans for installments, not lump sum payments, so it's easy to get there right now, but the executive budget itself is based on the city's average return rate. But this is going to dramatically reduce the number of visitors to the city, so a hole in the money coming out was blocked. It's also the biggest hole. ”

“It's only a matter of time. ”

“We will continue to operate, but it will take some time before the city is fully operational. The income in between will not be able to withstand the current cost of money. ”

“What about emergencies? ”

“There was once such a thing. ”

“Once?”

As Isaac hesitates, he taps the table with his palm.

“I was about to withdraw an emergency deposit from an imperial bank account to clear up this matter, and they refused to withdraw it because it was frozen as a installment deposit for this item. ”

Isaac clears his throat, feeling a slight strain on Codnel's grumpy gaze.

“Should I return it now? ”

“I heard you can't return it. ”

“Wow, that's too much. Well, where else would I sell it? ”

“You think I didn't recognize that? But who the hell buys this stuff? It's gonna cost a fortune. This can never be bought by an individual. Do you think Isaac can afford this in installments? ”

As Isaac, who had nothing to say to Cornell's grumbling, took a quick look at his cigarette without saying a word, Randall said.

“My clan and the Northbears will invest if the funds are insufficient. New Port City is a place with great potential for development. ”

Codnell gives you a cheerful look in Langton's words.

“You're more than welcome to invest in Elves and Northbears. You can restore your mortgage. ”

“Pendleton is also somewhat responsible, so I'll help you with that. ”

According to Liberia, Isaac heads for the gray Codnell once all the problems are resolved.

“Not possible.”

“Yes? Why? ”

Isaac breathes a puff of smoke and says to Codnell, who flinches against Isaac's opposition.

“The bigger the stake, the louder the voice. ”

With Isaac's cool voice, Libria frowns and turns away, clearing her throat to see if there are any stabbings.

“But I'm not crying this time, I'm out of real money. If you don't do something right, you could end up in a black hole. ”

“Don't worry. If you don't invest, there's a way to make money. ”

“Yes? Is there an emergency I don't know about? ”

“It happened this time. ”

“How big is it? Is this real estate or real estate? Bonds don't matter. If you get a loan as collateral.... ”

Isaac says to Codnell, who is excited and smiling.

“I don't know how much, but I'm going to have to settle all the money I have to spend this time with. ”

“…… is there really an emergency? ”

With his words, Codnell turns off his excitement and looks at Isaac suspiciously. As much as I thought it would help me breathe a little bit more, how much money can I spend to solve this thing at once? It was impossible to keep such enormous sums to yourself while hiding your interest in money management.

“Go tell him. From now on, Portshi is subject to 200% tax. ”

“…… Yes? ”

According to Isaac, Codnell looks dumber than Barabbas and asks.

“The tax is 200%. ”

“No, that's not... ”

Codnell, who wanted to ask me if it was nonsense, kept his mouth shut, but his eyes were behind his back. Libria and Lanverton look at him and say, "He's finally gone mad."

“If you seduce him, tell him to go live somewhere else. And protesters confiscate and banish all their wealth. ”

“No way! ”

“The demonstration was the start of my assassination campaign. Then, of course, those who started the protest are accused of assassinating the lord. What's the law on assassination of lords? ”

“…… is the death penalty of three direct participants. ”

Although the threshold between the classes is ridiculously low, empires are basically hierarchical societies. The Empire was cruelly sanctioned for unlawful means because it was well equipped to legally protest complaints about its lords and to be able to recover from the damages.
