~ Zal Battle Empire Emperor Side ~

Around that time, in the Zaru Battle Empire, Emperor Zuwei received reports about several trusted clansmen and the Cosmo Labyrinth.

So you've done exactly what Lord Zink told you?

"It's the left side, Your Majesty." After sweeping the nearby oak hamlets and absorbing their remains into the labyrinth, the salinity has temporarily returned. ”

"Hmm. I'll look at the labyrinth as a creature and feed it when I'm hungry..."The resurrection was temporary, and I could take it that I hadn't fed much and that I was still starving... "

A report sent three days ago by Viscount Bob Horskin during the diplomatic expedition contained an affidavit signed by Lord Zink and a request for a hypothesis.

Since Susi passed through and could try it with a little effort, I tried to make him do it without fail... but I didn't think it would really work.

I can't stop thanking Lord Zink for giving me an affidavit with a bloodbath and helping me out in a strange country.

Because our country is in financial difficulty, it is difficult to reward him financially... but I will order Viscount Horskin to find out what he will be pleased with.

"Marquis Yusuke, increase the amount of scraps you can absorb in the Cosmo Labyrinth!"If Lord Zink's hypothesis is true, the labyrinth is in critical condition. "

Got it!

The production of salt was also discontinued for the time being.

We can't put more strain on the thin labyrinth!

For a while, I was about to cross a dangerous bridge.....

The stockpile of salt will last for several years, so there will be no distribution problems... we should restore the source before the information leaks and panic strikes.

Lord Caesar, have you contacted Viscount Hoskin?

“Yeah, I gave it priority, and I got a reply full of joy.It seems that the Quaol side is showing a positive attitude with regard to the trade treaty.... "

“I see. We'll admit the loss at the tariff rate, so you'll have to move on to the point where you'll allow the volumes to blur.Don't miss out! "

Got it.

Once a treaty is signed with the Kingdom of Quor, you can use it as a stepping stone to call out to the Kingdom of Yamato, and receive a steady supply of salt from multiple routes.

If the supply from the Cosmo Labyrinth was cut off without getting an alternative, the people could panic and develop into riots and civil unrest even if they had a stockpile....

If we could show that other sources of supply were available, it would not be a major disturbance if production in our own country were to be suspended.

"I've played a difficult role, but Viscount Horsekin has done well."

When a trade treaty is signed with the Kingdom of Qaol, and he returns to the Empire of Zalvatr... I think we should honor his achievements and give him the title of Earl of the House of Horskins.

"Your Majesty, according to Sir Horsekin's report... the most important factor in the favorable behavior of Lord Zink is that the adventurer from the Empire of Zaru Battle acted as an intermediary..."

Huh?

"I mean... Jink-sama compromised by making his expression cloudy, even though he was private and close to me."It said, "I didn't do anything."

"It's humble." It is enough to make contact with the intermediary and leave a result.But you're an adventurer from the Empire of Zabal in the Kingdom of Qaul.The brain drain is painful. "

Yes.

Until fifteen years before his father was on the throne, the Zar 'bat Empire had great disparities in status, and only pure-blooded nobles were allowed to attend elementary schools.

If blood was honored, even if we killed the territory in play, we would not be held guilty... Even the same nobility was clearly treated separately by the higher and lower titles and family ties.

I don't know if the Emperor's thoughts are that if someone below me gains extra wisdom, a rebellion will break out and the national budget will be cut in response.....

I wanted you to think about the end of the country where everything is decided by birth.

After hundreds of years of cruelty to the underlings, our country will bear a deadly hand.

An elite adventurer who belonged to a different force from his country, the guild, and sometimes went to another country for work, had fled the country.

Many of them were from the oppressed side, and even though they were promoted to B-rank or higher, they continued to suffer from discrimination by birth.

And since it can be seen from history that discrimination continues to be experienced by children and grandchildren alike... it would be a natural consequence for them to flee to another country where they are comfortable to live in.

But escaping a talented talent is not just a one-time loss... it also affects the distribution of forces in the next generation and beyond!

Good skills and physique are often inherited.

As a result... the talent that gradually jumped out of our country is no longer available, and now it is plagued by a severe "lack of elite adventurers".

Even though S rank, I was forced to send Viscount Bob Horsekin, who specializes in defense, to the Festival of Resolutions as a representative of the country.

"Please... Lord Caesar." What kind of intermediary expertise do you think has spilled out?What is your rank? ”

"That person is a magician specializing in attack < Will >."It's not just Zink, it's also connected to the heart of the Qaolu government... it's an S-ranked adventurer. "

"AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Please calm down! "

A magician with particularly strong genetic qualities... that's an S rank too, can you calm down?!

Damn it, Father... not only did you drown in a woman and empty your treasury, but you ran after you died!

I'm going to dig the remains out of the grave and feed them to the labyrinth with no supplies!!
