It was that evening that the Duke came back on board, even though he was like a god because the soldiers were retrieving him and he was hurting his leg.

Anything, they landed in a field about 20 kilometers away.

It did not seem to reach the territory of the Duke of Barna aristocracy, which Mr. Eina had sneaked up on, but the farmer, whose duke suddenly descended from the sky, would have been frightened.

Apparently, the balloon was also recovered by carriage, but the extent of the damage is unknown. If it wasn't caught in a tree or something, I don't think it's that big broken......

Returning to the castle, the Duke flies first to Mr. Eina. No, I'm not flying anymore...

"Eina! You were absolutely right! That was really great, sorry I doubted it!

My consciousness distracts me from the bandage wrapped around my left leg, but the person in question doesn't seem to care at all. Instead, he was desperately stopped by the neighbors and the doctors from trying to get off and rush over to Eina.

That's it, it's a complete knowledge junkie, this guy.

I managed to get off the hook, but I'm calling Eina up close and making her a question-attack.

"How the hell does that big bag float in the universe? Materials used in it, wood and yarn are known, but were processed with rare (and rare) techniques. Are there good craftsmen in Count Negroste's territory? The transparent material that covered that surface more than that, what is that? Is that hot air balloon tool being put into practice in the Earl Territory?!?

That's right, the Duke is only good at all kinds of knowledge, and his eyelids are accurate.

Eina, on the other hand, answers some of the questions, the majority of which are peeled off and deluded.

I think there are a lot of parts that I don't really know, even though it looks like I'm wearing it. I explained the principle in the carriage on the way, but I don't know perfectly in the first place.

"I'm sorry, but we can't do anything other than give the product in kind at this time. However, if you come to our research site at a later date, it will also be possible to provide a full explanation. But if we lose the battle and perish before then, we won't get that chance forever."

Eina's words return to the expression of the Duke, who was an exciting beautiful sister.

"... are you going to threaten me with fright?

"There is no such thing. I'm just stating the facts. I'm here to negotiate in the first place."

"… there are ways to attack and destroy them on the side of Our Duke of Barna and take away all their roots."

"If the Duke also knows the home style of the Count Negroste family, you will know that it is not as easy (or easy) to do. Besides, I'm a civilian who's not even a Negroste minister, until I get away with it."

"... there's a way to restrain him in this place and make him throw up everything."

"If you do that to an official messenger, you will scratch your family name and discredit the people. Maybe the Duke will be attacked after we make it through this battle. As the Duke knows, that tool is of great value on the battlefield."

"Gu...... indeed. With that, you can get a glimpse of the enemy at a glance, even on a flat battlefield. On the contrary, we can even foresee ambushes hiding across the hill. It will also be effective in scouting and attacking enemies in the castle fort. Previously planar battles become 3D. This is outrageous."

"In addition, you can multiply the night shade (yawn) by no sound, and let the enemy land or the rear of the enemy line intrude on secret detectives and submarine troops, depending on the wind direction, but it will also be possible to overtake the rugged mountains and valleys in an instant. It can be a useful tool not only for attacks, but also for escape."

Eina presses the Duke to make a decision while making him smell that it is also possible for us to escape using the balloon. The Duke is in a totally muddy state.

Something tells me this isn't the kind of negotiation I know.

"... without the help of fright, it would be those who would be at stake. How can you be so grand?"

"As I said earlier, I am just a civilian. Even if this negotiation fails and the Count Negroste family is doomed, we can escape with knowledge alone. Perhaps in a few years you will have the opportunity to see the Duke again with soldiers from your neighbouring country."

Wow, Mr. Eina, I can attack you. That's right, Rhina's looking a little pale, too. My sister still looks fine, and she's not even warning me, so she's not in danger for her life right now...

I mean, there's nothing you can do about this situation if you're warned right now.

But whether the phrase 'run away with only knowledge' worked for the Duke of Knowledge Junkie, the Duke distorts his righteous face with regret.

"Wow... you bitch... Come on, I'll swallow your demands. What do you want?"

"Thank you for your words. I would now ask you to deploy as many soldiers as possible towards the Duke of Barna nobility in the south and to attract as many enemy soldiers as possible. … and we are short of military funds, so I would appreciate your assistance."

Oh, Mr. Eina, you made a demand. You're not supposed to be asking me for military money.

"Okay. Speak up to the neighboring aristocrats, and give them every possible soldier. Funds do...... Did I mention hot air balloons? In exchange for disclosing all the information on that tool, I'll give you five billion astols."

"Oh, is that tool worth 5 billion astols?

"... to try to raise the price even further in this situation, you have such a good personality. If you look at your feet, don't you think they're frivolous?

"No, I just thought the Duke's rating for this tool was inevitably low. Because I thought that if you were the Duke who sounded wise, you would find more varied possibilities and values.

This is the position I am in to ask you for, so of course I have no objection to the amount. "

"............ well, you have a really good personality. Well, now that we have the money to go, we can't go any further."

"If so, it would be greatly appreciated if you would be given support for future research expenses."

"... ok, an extra 2 billion Ast every year after next year. Let's get 10 billion Ast out in five years. So you're not complaining?

"Of course it is. I cannot but admire the generosity of the Duke."

"Hum, throw up a frigid dialogue. I'll have 5 billion Astras ready soon, so get back to the King's Capital. I won't let you know if we lose."

"Yes, we will make sure to meet your expectations"

"How confident can a civilian daughter who is not even a minister of the Negroste family say that... I've been wanting a minister the other way around."

"Unfortunately, I am not willing to serve anywhere at the moment,"

"Do you think there's a priority until you kick a clerk into the Duke's house? Are you going to be a nobleman this time (this time) using your handles as shields?

"The Epic (Jiggle) is, well, if you need it. More than that, the world is still full of unknown events. If I'm interested in you."

"Hmm, hot air balloons on medicine for ten-day fever. Are you telling me there's still an undetected area on this?

"Because the world is wide."

"Hmm... I feel strange when I say so. What the hell do you know, you think you'll get a chance to hear that later, too?

"It may depend on the situation, but I know that the fold will be a different fee"

"... you're my friend, aren't you?

"Strangely enough, we have an acquaintance who calls us best friends."

The Duke said, "Really? He looks like 'em and he looks at me.

It's not me, but it's true for once. So, Eina, strangely...

For now, I snorted (nodding), and the Duke glanced back at Mr. Eina uncomfortably.

I think it's rude. Meanwhile, I know how it feels.

He was still a duke who looked at Eina in suspicion, but Eina didn't look like he cared, and it would take him to bow his head deeply to quit before the duke and prepare to return to the king's capital.

The enormous amount of gold for 5 billion astols was delivered the next morning, and with so much money that the guards of the Count Negroste family were a little upset, we hurried our way to the King's Capital...
