63-30 How to gather information
Where the debate was incandescent, Chief Executive Tomax Bartman opened his mouth.
"I would like to see what we do with the four principalities on the agenda at the next 'World Conference'. So I don't mind not coming to a conclusion on this occasion. But I want to set the basic policy."
In response to this statement, the discussion focused on 'methods of gathering information'.
Because without the information on which the judgment is based, nothing starts.
"The next 'World Conference' was around the middle of June, wasn't it? I think I'll be able to give you a little more information by then."
And Elena said.
"I appreciate that. … Yes, we will consider whether we can visit the Principality of Jags in a friendly manner"
Illumina Ratkin says.
"There have been several small visits to other principalities."
It was usually technical assistance, he explained.
"I think we can go to the Duchy of Mimaka and the Duchy of Darat, but maybe not to the Duchy of Jags and the Duchy of Norha"
Those two countries are quite hard-working (hard) and have only recently visited them in business talks, he said.
"Nominally, it's wheat buying."
The four principalities, including the Duchy of Jags, were a major region of wheat, and it had become Theory to buy wheat instead of selling them magic guides.
"In June, it's winter wheat harvest time."
4 Since the Principality is near the equator, it is made with a lot of winter wheat, and not of poor quality.
Magic guides are imported from "conference countries" (countries participating in the World Conference), but the consideration was wheat and barley.
"Sure, that's your chance."
said Tomax Bartman.
"In doing so, I want you to look at all possible technical information and the domestic situation."
Here, Deus Ex Machina raised his hand.
"Uh, do you think I can go to the Duchy of Jags?
"What!?
The meeting room was frightened.
"It is true that Lord Makina is not a representative of any country..."
Tomax Bartman looked difficult.
"Right, suddenly to the Principality of Jags, that would be risky. I think it would be a good idea to go to the Duchy of Mimaca, which most favors us."
"But... uh, Lekode, was it, is there a garrison? From there, I think the Principality of Jags is too far away to get enough information."
Makina argues.
"But going directly to the Principality of Jags is quite dangerous."
Tomax Bartman shows a difficult color.
There, Elena also gave advice.
"That's right, Master Makina. The information obtained indicates that a merchant from the Kingdom of Celluloa has been arrested on charges of espionage. After that, there was no information that he had been released."
"Uhm, that's dangerous"
Tomax Bartman is still a sinister face.
"So what about visiting the Principality of Norha?
Now Jen spoke.
"The Principality of Norha is hostile to the Principality of Jags, isn't it? There is also the phrase 'enemy of the enemy is an ally'. In this case, when it comes to providing some technology, won't it be handled without a bottom line?
"Uhm, you also have a point in what Lord Jin says..."
"Sure, the Principality of Norha might be a good place to gather information."
The Principality of Norha should also be gathering information in relation to its hostility to the Principality of Jags, which, if we could have known about it, would have been quite a plus.
"But still, it doesn't mean zero risk."
As always, Tomax Bartman looks difficult.
"That's above understanding."
But I won't give up Makina.
"In the first place, you can't hold me by any other means."
"That's for sure"
"But for what reason does Master Makina intend to go to the Principality of Norha?
Elena asked. I guess I'm still worried.
"How about, for example, selling the golem?
If you're a combat golem, you should want enough to get your hands out of your throat, Makina said.
"That may be true, but are you going to sell such weapons to the Principality of Norha?
Elena is worried that she might lose her balance of power.
"That's it, isn't it, the problem"
Machina also said as she pondered.
And I thought, "If I have to, I can take control of it."
Then it was a complete fraud, so there was hesitation.
"Um, the Principality of Norha looks like a military regime, too."
Jen, who once made the escape with Rhodotos, said he was pompous.
Northern Quetos, who overheard it,
"Do you know anything about Lord Jin, too?
I've been asking.
"A little bit, but I saw a soldier when I went to Myceh Plains with Lord Rhodotos of Puppet (Kutsu) in a bit of an investigation before."
In fact, Jen and Rhodotos were not allowed to escape, and Jen was attacked, but I wouldn't say that much.
"I see..."
"It means we're having a little skirmish on the Myceh Plains."
I see him leading a combat golem, I'll just report that.
"Is that what you mean? After all, there are aspects of surrogate warfare by the Golem."
We have heard that people are avoiding fighting each other as much as possible due to their small original population, Northern Quetos said.
"If that's the national pattern, you won't mind mundane in order to win. It's too dangerous to get in directly."
Northern Quetos also seemed to disagree that Makina would be visiting.
"After all, it would be nice to visit here as an official envoy"
Fione Fierce spoke.
"You're visiting by pushing forward that there's a 'world conference' attached to the back. That way, if something happens to the envoy, we can exercise our strength."
"Sure, Fione's opinion could be safer."
Tomax Bartman also admitted.
"… then it will be one of the agendas at the next 'World Conference' and will be considered in the direction of sending envoys?
Tomax Bartman into the summary.
"No objection"
"No objection"
That happened unanimously, and the meeting was over that day.
"Good luck, Mr. Tomax"
After the meeting, Jen personally labored Tomax Bartman.
By the way, he has spoken to Jen from Tomax Bartman.
"No, because this is also useful"
Jen to Tomax, who meets
"Don't push me."
and stabbed the nail.
"Yeah, it's helpful to have Manon. Simone also works for the Pandora continent as a deputy, and the burden is much easier."
"I hope so..."
"Yes, is it" Magic Formation Mapping Technology "in" 3D Magic Formation, "that's Lord Jin. I'll give you permission tomorrow, so thank you for your guidance."
"Okay."
Thus, at 9 p.m., Tomax Bartman's day was over.
