Let's Manage The Tower
(4) Sharing of information obtained
The Liks visited Christoph directly with their findings in the forest.
Nevertheless, the opponent is not an easy one to meet, no matter how many requests he receives for the king of a country.
In the first place, it is only the Crown that receives the requests, so it is normal to report to the Crown, but only this time, they were told to report the results directly.
The content is natural, but the response of the original adventurer department is unusual.
For the time being, there is no problem because I have received confirmation from the branch manager when receiving the request, but if it is originally an intrusion into the position of the Crown, I can't help it.
However, since the location under investigation is outside the scope of the Crown Branch, even if a report is made, there is no point in doing so.
Incidentally, since the requests received by the clients were to be received from the headquarters rather than the branch office, we made the problem even more complicated.
After all, I had to report the results to HQ later, but I was supposed to report anything to the client himself.
The visit to Christoph was fulfilled with the mark that had been given in advance, first hoping to see the Prime Minister.
The fact that this process has been completed to face the King is evidence that we believe this matter is important, at least among Christophers.
And unfortunately, that Christoph's response hit him in a direction that he didn't want to hit brilliantly.
"--- Is that true?
Christoph nodded with a bitter look on his face, just like the Prime Minister.
"... unfortunately."
If it's true, I'd like to say it's a joke, but unfortunately, in a situation like this, if the response is delayed, the damage will only increase.
This is not a joke.
Besides, Christoph in front of us is one of the top players in this country.
It is better to make a decision as soon as possible.
However, it still complicates the problem even further.
"Nevertheless, rather than flooding, there is a possibility of flooding. I can't really feel it because it's too much more than I expected."
Christoph, who was a weak voice, made a serious look before the Prime Minister or Lik could say anything.
"Okay. Let's do what we can in this country for now. Not only in Japan, but also in other countries. That said, other countries can only work from here."
Flooding in mountain ranges that span multiple countries must be addressed in concert rather than in their own countries.
Even if we deal with it successfully in one country, it doesn't make sense if we don't deal with it slowly in other countries and eventually contain the monster invasion.
Unfortunately, there is no such organization on the southern continent.
After listening to Christoph's dialogues, Lik looked worried.
"We'll tell HQ about this, but how much we can handle..."
The Crown now has branches in capitals other than hostile countries, but there are no other contacts.
Not really, but I can't deal with the flooding we're expecting this time.
On behalf of Christoph, who thinks about how to work with other countries, I have confirmed that the Prime Minister is concerned.
"Speaking of which, I know it could be a flood, but how big would it be?
Depending on the scale of the flood, the supplies needed to prepare will also change.
For the prime minister, it was something to ask.
"Is that limited to this country? Or the whole mountain range?
For monsters, they will emerge from mountain ranges regardless of borders.
The monsters don't come out evenly from the entire mountain range, but it's just some speculation.
When asked by Lik, the prime minister looked like he was contemplating for a moment.
Um... let's just ask this country first.
"Well, what about that? Depends on how many leader species are leading the monster."
"Wait. Does that mean there's more than one leader species, maybe not?
To Christoph's surprise, Lik nodded with a serious face.
"From what we have investigated, I expect almost certainly so."
Oh, my God.
At least in the history of the Southern Continent, Christoph was stunned and blued to the prime minister when he heard it was a rare occurrence.
For continents other than the Central Continent, flooding has never been so great.
Once breathing heavily to calm him down, Christoph looked straight at Lik.
"What do you expect the scale of this flood to be?
"... I see. Looking at the entire mountain range, is it less than a thousand quotes?"
Not all surveys of the entire mountain range have been carried out, so it is impossible to give accurate figures.
"... what if I quote more?
"If you suck at it, it's not crazy to exceed 10,000."
Based on the results of our own investigation, Lik gave us the number.
However, this figure assumes that flooding occurs across the entire mountain range.
In fact, only the Smit Kingdom has been able to investigate, so we don't even know how many monsters are occurring.
There is no chance that it is happening only on the side of the Kingdom of Smit.
However, we believe that the possibilities are unlimited.
However, I don't think there is any chance that the Likuds are flooding the entire mountain range.
Therefore, the figure of 10,000 is also expected to flourish considerably.
Still, the numbers had a strong impact on Christoph and the Prime Minister.
"... we need to work with other countries as soon as possible."
"Oh, I see. I like countries where I can communicate directly, but please deal with other countries."
I was afraid.
On Christoph's instructions, the Prime Minister replied with a pale face.
The face was about to rush out, but we still haven't heard the information we need from Rikki.
That's why the prime minister listened carefully to Lick and the others.
That said, only a fraction of the mountains were surveyed.
That's why we've only been able to get halfway numbers from earlier.
"We're going to head office now, but honestly, it's a place where the crown doesn't have much roots, so I doubt how much information it gathers. Probably not enough time left to investigate the details."
If a flood of this magnitude has originally occurred, it is necessary to obtain detailed information and deal with it.
However, the feeling that Lik and the others had seen was that it was not strange to be in people's living quarters at any time.
The Crown will do the best it can, but it is unknown if it will be in time.
"I know. That won't help anymore. Now we have to do the best we can."
Christoph nodded so that the Prime Minister would agree.
As for Lik, compared to the response in the Central continent, it is difficult to be behind him, but I also know that there is no way to blame him now.
Anyway, I was thinking that all I could do now was rush into the headquarters with the information I got.
