"... Mmm, you're not responding well. It's not mandatory, is it? I plan to pay more than the market in addition to compensating the brave Falcon..."

King Alfred twisted his smug face like trouble and tipped his neck.

It's like a big bear struggling to handle small animals gently.

"Shit. Was it premature to think that it would be more pleasant to mediate a good job than just push cash?"

"No... its... too massive to catch up with your head..."

Certainly there are those who would be more pleased with the provision of work on favourable terms than with compensation in cash.

Because it doesn't just warm my nostrils, it also builds up my track record of doing this kind of work.

In the case of an arms dealer, for example, the track record of being asked by the King to deliver weapons undoubtedly favours my future work.

But the content of King Alfred's request for cooperation with me was too large a scale for anything.

"Your Majesty... too much loads to beat an adventurer collapse like me"

"For now, will you look at the construction plan at the moment? I've been in meetings, and I haven't decided yet."

"… I will see"

For one thing, I decide to try to load a bunch of documents that were given to me.

Candidate for deployment force in draft building placement.

All that was described was important information.

King Alfred had not made it clear, but no doubt I would also be subject to confidentiality.

And right after I opened the work schedule item, I accidentally raised my voice.

"Become...! Temporary closure of the 'Day Clock Forest' during construction to ensure safety...... the planned duration is three months......? Your Majesty! A Green Hollow resident can't live with a plan like this!

As was problematic in the second dragon disturbance, Green Hollow Town today is supported by 'Day Clock Forest' related income.

If that were stopped for three months, most of the residents would undoubtedly have their lives broken.

Some will be able to make money involved in the construction of the base, but from the whole standpoint, it is only part of it. Water on the burning stone.

"Do you still think so? I'm also concerned that the Golden Tooth Knights, who are scheduled to be stationed at the base, are firmly claiming to be 'the most secure and secure plan'."

King Alfred himself doesn't seem to like this plan.

I knew as soon as I loaded the plan why the Knights could not draw their opinions in spite of the King's expressions of concern.

"(Temporarily shutting down the dungeon to prepare for the unexpected, gathering materials and building the base quickly while continuing to monitor... if you don't think about the economy of the town, this plan is certainly the best...)"

Once the base is complete, we can intercept demon kings' subordinations and wild dragons trying to emerge.

Until then, it seems, it means forbidding access to the dungeon and making sure that no harm is done in case.

In the wake of last week's dragon appearance, forces were to be dispatched from the Royal Palace to ensure safety - the advance party has already arrived - but I guess the Golden Tooth Knights thought more measures were needed.

"(Maybe the Adventurers and the Golden Tooth Knights have different values for safety)"

When the adventurers heard of the support from the Royal Palace and the arrival of high-ranking adventurers, they decided that some risks would be acceptable.

Meanwhile, the Golden Tooth Knights demanded greater safety.

If demons and demons have carried out ambushes, it is undoubtedly difficult to ensure the protection of all those scattered in the woods of the 'day clock' where the trees flourish.

The adventurer tolerated the risk, but the Golden Tooth Knights decided 'I won't let you in the first place because I can't protect you' - that's convincing to think about.

However, the scheduled period until the blockade is lifted is too long. This is the end of the line.

Not only do Greenhollow Town residents suffer, but they also lose the face to match the E-rank adventurers who decided to stay in town.

"It's Luke from the White Wolf Forest. If you have a plan, don't hesitate to say it. Even for me, I don't feel comfortable pushing this plan forward. There is also a hand in paying compensation to residents… but a solution that merely pays is not a good outcome in the long run"

The King asks me for my opinion directly - this is exactly the only opportunity I have.

If we can offer the right alternatives, we may be able to overturn our plans to strain Greenhollow Town.

After desperately squeezing wisdom and keeping my head working, one thought came to mind.

"... amateur thought, but I still think the problem with this plan is that it takes too long. It's safe for the residents, but it doesn't make any sense if you bankrupt the residents' lives because of it."

Perhaps the Golden Tooth Knights are not familiar with Green Hollow Town's economic situation.

So was the face of the Silver Wings Knights, so maybe this is all something we can't do.

It would be unrealistic to imagine that if the inhabitants of the town were attending a meeting......

Normally, only people of high standing can participate in a meeting in front of the King, and such people do not live in Green Hollow.

"But with my [repair] skills, I might be able to drastically shorten the time to completion"

"Ho! What exactly are we going to do?

"We dismantle existing facilities in neighboring towns and cities and bring the wreckage into the 'Day and Clock Forest' to [repair] it. If you have about half the whole wreckage, you can make up for it later with trees and stones in the dungeon."

This was also the case once when I fixed a bridge on the way down the mountain from Green Hollow, but it's much faster to use [repair] skills than to build them from scratch.

The task of demolishing a building and transporting wreckage will take time, but it will normally be smaller than the task of procuring and transporting building materials, and it is decisive that the process of building work can be omitted.

"This plan states that the closure of the dungeon is to ensure safety until the frontline base is completed. If we can drastically reduce the duration of our work, we won't have to close it down on purpose."

"... interesting! That's an idea because you're the owner of a rare skill!

"It's just that the problem is my amount of magic. Almost all magic in one private house..."

"Don't worry. Prepare as many magic crystals as you can. Well, we've got the proposal, and it's time to resume the meeting!

King Alfred summoned the soldiers who were waiting outside the tent and ordered the participants to summon them.

And when he told me to be present, he just started telling the participants about the new idea.

- Surprisingly, the reaction from the participants was quite positive.

One official evaluated the fact that he did not have to pay compensation.

One nobleman was pleased to be able to make effective use of an aging facility.

One minister stressed the advantages of not having to leave the road leading to Demon King's Castle for long.

Reasons varied, but one person and another expressed agreement, which eventually led everyone to agree, with the exception of representatives of the Golden Tooth Knights.

"It's Gilbert. How would you rate that?

…………

Representatives of the Golden Tooth Knights, when they rose out of the chair, largely moved to the front of a large drawing that was stuck out in a prominent position.

"I know it's a great idea, but I'd like you to accept about two of these hopes. One is to divert the remains of the Golden Tooth Knights Cranfort branch, which is currently being dismantled, as the base's main facility. The other..."

When the Knights' representatives took the pen in large measure, they added a new building to the drawing.

"It is also about setting up a front-line base in the underground space where the" Dragon Loop "- the Demon King Castle - exists. We will use the facilities on the 'Sun Clock Forest' side for stockpiling and backward support to specialise the underground space side for war."

"I see. That's the first form you claimed."

"Yes, it was rejected as taking too much, but if we can get his help, we won't have a problem"

A representative by the name of Gilbert turns his gaze towards me.

He's a faceless man who doesn't move one eyebrow from earlier.

Another different type of knight than Felix or Garnett...... or is this the standard knight?

"Fine. There's no difference between the others, right?

King Alfred looked out into the tent and smiled luxuriously as he went.

"It's Luke from the White Wolf Forest. Give Dawn a formal authorization to handle Mithrills in addition to rewards for successful base construction. I hope so."
