Let's Manage The Tower

One of the hallmarks of the Eastern Continent, where the kingdom of Flores is located, is that it is known as the Parent Aristocrat and Son Aristocrat.

The names vary from kingdom to kingdom, but the mindset is the same.

The title is given directly by the King, but it is difficult for the King to control everything because the number of nobles holding the title is considerable.

As a result, nobles with weak power or low titles are controlled by stronger nobles.

Basically the newly titled aristocracy will be the children of some parent aristocracy.

Parent nobles with multiple child nobles will have power on their own.

Of course, there is a danger that the parent aristocracy will be too powerful, but that depends on the King's exploitation.

Neither a parent nor a son can choose his opponent, and the king will decide.

In general, a weak aristocracy around the land of the parent aristocracy may become the child's aristocracy.

When the kingdom had just begun to emerge, a way had been taken to control the aristocracy around it by distributing the king's trustworthy aristocracy to the periphery where the power of the center was difficult to resist.

However, the balance of power between the King and the border may collapse with each passing age, so naturally it is not just a good side.

In that regard, the Kingdom of Flores has made good use of the system and, at least until now, has governed it well.

Here, the question asked by Kaiseki to Achilles becomes important.

"I was also collected in the neighboring territory."

"Me too."

The adventurers who were watching the exchanges between the examiners interrupted the conversation to see if they were interested.

Even for them, the unexplained tax was a source of dissatisfaction.

Or maybe they paid for it themselves, so they can pay for it properly.

Of course, as a study aid, it's not something I can hear.

Because.

Really? That means if you succeed, your parents and nobles will be involved. "

"... what do you mean?

Even though I said this, Achilles raised his eyebrows to wonder if he would not take a step.

"I think you know because you're involved in taxes..."

The examiner starts talking with that in mind.

"The adventurer position is more favourable to the general public when it comes to taxes to ensure it is a force of arms in times of need."

"What do you take for granted...?

Achilles now wonders what else to say to the examiner who talked like that.

"And for that matter, at least in this kingdom of Flores, it is guaranteed by the kingdom and thus the king."

"Naturally, if you impose a heavy tax, unlike in other countries, adventurers may flow if you fail."

In fact, in the past, adventurers were taxed, so there was a country where adventurers spilled out to other countries and could not contain the flooding of monsters.

That's why countries try not to tax adventurers.

Finally, countries that do not impose taxes have emerged in the past, but in the end, countries with national powers are advantageous, so some taxes are now unified so as to be applied.

For this reason, at least in the eastern continent, the taxes on adventurers should be the same.

... in front of the building.

Achilles interrupted the discussion by feeling disturbed by the story of Kaiseki.

"I know you have some knowledge, but what do you want to say?

I hope Achilles knows that, but Achilles came to see me.

"Is the activity tax you just mentioned a national tax?

This was the reason why the exam aid fell.

The adventurers who had been listening around started screaming at the words of the examiner.

It seemed like I was beginning to realize that it was strange.

Incidentally, the reason why Kaiseki talks so much with conviction is because it is well supported.

There's a former princess Florian who can get in touch anytime.

By the way, when I got back to this inn, I was talking to Alec, the former prince.

At least in this case, the examiner was better at one.

Without knowing that, Achilles objected with an astonishing expression.

"Didn't I just say that? Regarding this tax, it is decided within the territory. It will be the same for the other territories you mentioned earlier."

The adventurers already in the cafeteria are staring at how things are going.

I would like to support you in your study, but I don't know what Achilles is saying on behalf of the lord.

Kaiseki gazed at Achilles and shouted at the real adventurers.

"That means the lords are defying the king. I heard that the sin of disobedience of the nobles is serious, but it is difficult."

I'm sure Achilles was surprised at this line with the boulders.

I felt like I was in a hurry.

"Well, don't be silly...! Why does Amidio-sama disobey the king!!!?

"That's why I told you earlier. The King decides on taxes for adventurers. As far as adventurers are concerned, the lord should not be able to collect taxes on his own."

Incidentally, Kaiseki speaks this story with conviction.

After all, Alec, the former prince of this country, told me about it.

However, I did not expect this to happen, and I asked in advance what kind of taxes would be charged to enter the country.

In these words, the adventurers must have fully understood what they wanted to say.

I still have half a doubt about it, but I think you still feel that you are going through the reasoning of the examiner.

The men who brought Achilles seemed to be in a hurry for an unexpected development.

I suppose I was going to catch up with the kitten, but in fact I feel like I've put my hands on the tiger.

Achilles, who was opposed to studying, completely lost his expression.

It doesn't make me angry or anxious.

Somewhat, it was an expression of readiness.

"I see. It's only against Amidio-sama."

"I don't know why it would be disobedient. I'm just asserting a legitimate argument here?

Feeling Achilles's gaze, Kaiseki returned with a cool expression.

The Achilles was also feeling indifferent.

Really? I see. Now, let's tell Amidio-sama what you said and what you did. "

And Achilles said so, and went out of the cafeteria with the men that he brought.

Achilles also fully understands the meaning behind what he said.

The point is, I can use the lord's power to do whatever you want.

It's enough to treat an adventurer with a little knowledge.

Normally speaking, but...

Some adventurers understood the words of Achilles well.

I usually escort the Taiwanese, so I can understand their special rhetoric.

"Hey, are you okay? They'll come for revenge, won't they?

In the words of the adventurer, those who did not understand could finally understand.

I saw her breathing there.

"Well, you'll be fine. More importantly, aren't you looking forward to what they'll do after this?

The examiner smiled and said so.

The adventurer who was worried also broke his face when he saw the examiner and the women around him.

"Hahahaha. Well, you're perfectly better than that. I'll bet on you."

It was a declaration to stand on the side of the assistant in case of need.

In some cases, it is only adventurers who are not tied to the land that can say that they can no longer stay on this land.

The adventurers who were watching how the adventurer had dragged them have a pleasant look.

Naturally, there are practical advantages that you don't have to pay extra money if you pass the testimonial, but as the words put it, the temperament of "adventurer" is also largely related.

At least on the surface, the adventurers in this cafeteria were on the side of the audience at this point.
