Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
08: Ulysses, the Four Nations Conference of the South.
On the southern continent there are three small states, mainly the great power Ruskia, which has a patriarchal state.
It is the Kingdom of Orien, a country of agriculture; the Kingdom of Gibraltar, a country of wine, flowers and art; and the Kingdom of Gilce, a country of mining.
Long ago, when the Kingdom of Luskia was a large country called Luberchia, these small states were part of Luberchia, but they separated the royal family and built a small state, creating ties like parents and children, and are now friendly intracontinental traders.
However, the troika seemed to be somewhat anxious and dissatisfied with Ruskia, which decided to open a semi-country by a giant soldier raid a few months ago.
In addition, with the semi-development of the country, plans are underway within Luskia to introduce the "Magic Circuit”, the technology of the eastern power Frezil, and to lay in the country the "Magic Circuit System” applied independently by Luskia, the Magic Nation, but the mineral Rare Maida required for it cannot be taken very much in Luskia and will need to be traded with the mining state Gilce. Especially since Gilce has had a good economy lately, and King Gilce is a doer, and he comes out with a somewhat strong attitude, it is true that it is difficult for Ruskia to handle it.
It is the Kingdom of Orien that is opposed to semi-developed countries, the Kingdom of Gibraltar that is in favour, the Kingdom of Gilce that thinks it is a good opportunity for commerce but it is something to say, and the conference, combined with the large number of agendas, is hard to make progress at present.
While helping the king and his uncle, I was able to ask him how the meeting was going, in the position of being an advisor mage, because it was my role to explain to representatives of all countries about the magic guidance structure of the giant soldiers as far as I knew and the magic guidance circuit system to be introduced.
"A demon guidance circuit system is a system that registers in advance the contracts and constraints necessary for magic within a circuit. This allows you to shortcut chants, speed up magic activation, and stock up on a certain number of magic formations and magic powers. Stocked magic can be bought by the state, or registered magicians can buy it personally, but adjustments will still be needed."
"Oh... that's groundbreaking"
"That said, that's only possible where the magic conductor circuit is laid, so if you don't get started that way, it's useless. I'm going to start with the premises of the Royal Palace, the Instructional Research Institute. Build a magic guided wave setup in the Institutes for the Study of Magic Guidance on the side of the Patriarchate, with the giant Magic Guided Lacrima at its core. Rare Maida is essential for the construction of this Demon Guided Wave Tower as a medium for writing demon guided circuits."
It is the rare metal Rare Meida whose effects have recently come to the fore and have begun to be used for magic guides and so on, and on the southern continent there is a large mining zone in the Kingdom of Gilce.
"I see... So, he wants to buy Rare Maida from us... is that what you mean?"
King Gilce is somewhere exploring the Luskian side, sitting deeply in a decorative chair for the conference.
This country will want to use Rare Maida as a trade card to build an advantage over Ruskia and beyond.
"It won't be a bad story. Huge amounts of money will move, and Frezier will talk to you."
………
King Gilce makes me think he's someone with an all-back dark brown hair, somewhat of a mafia bossy vibe that appears in Hollywood movies, but he can't beat it, on his uncle, who scatters the true opposite fresh aura.
Nico tries to keep the conversation going.
King Orien and Queen Gibraltar seemed to be asking for an exchange between Ruscia and Gilce.
"But hey, Sir Raymond... the southern continent is in danger, providing a precious rare maida to protect another country under such circumstances is no longer something of anxiety. That magic circuit system is supposed to protect Mirad Reed in the worst case scenario, right? How the hell should a small nation like ours protect its country? Are you willing to just suck it out of us and abandon it if the war eventually gets worse?
………
King Gilce's low, caged voice sounds too much to take the lead on this occasion.
I shook my head thinking that I wanted to circle a glass of red wine somehow.
"Of course, the safety of Orien and Gibraltar and Gilce is what we in Ruscia guarantee. That was decided long ago when we had a relationship between a parent and a child.... Can you trust me?
"... parents and children... hey"
King Gilce sarcastically distorted his thick brow and laughed furiously.
"Anyway, you're about to shake it up and make me buy Rare Maida at a high price, King Gilce. Such an important thing... to become a lowly nation."
Queen Gibraltar sticks out her thin jaw, puts a feathered fan on her mouth and says disgust to King Gilce on the side.
Although Gibraltar does not have the main product that said this other than wine, it respects art and character and has long tended to share opinions and so on as a pro-Ruschian nation. Well, by doing so, you can say that it is always under Ruskia's asylum.
"That said, if we open the country, the savages of the east will enter the continent? There's something embarrassing about Orien's crops flowing through them."
Fat King Orien twinkles his egg-like skin. It is a country that is deeply rooted in the anti-eastern spirit, but it is opposed to opening the country itself.
"There's green protection in the first place, so it would be nice to close the country completely."
"Well... didn't King Orien hear what His Royal Highness Ulysses said earlier? Green protection… the green curtain is now incomplete. Not knowing when the giants will have the power to break through it."
"That's... yes"
While the Kings choose the gaze of exploration and the language of rush, it's still the air of saying they rely on Ruskia's asylum.
I thought I was observing the meeting that Gilce was the only one who didn't like being a child state of Ruskia.
"... I want proof, King Ruskia"
"Evidence...... what?
"Sir Raymond, I'm not asking you."
He glanced back at Raymond's uncle, who had returned the reaction, and King Gilce glanced at King Ruskia.
"... what do you want, King Gilce..."
On Raymond's uncle, the deputy king, the king, who was recently entrusting most of the country, opened his mouth.
King Gilce laughed with a hoot of nose, turning his eagle eyes to me as I was listening in the corner.
"We wanted to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Ulysses as our daughter's bridegroom. That's not a bad story, is it? Ruskia was originally a poorly treated country other than the prince who became king. I still love my wife, I only have one wife. I don't have a son... what do you think?
"........................"
I was named unexpectedly, and I panicked, but I couldn't find the words, and they made me look complicated.
The kings are paying attention to me.
"Hey, what are you kidding... Gilce, are you just craving your strength as Lord Ulysses' advisor magician? Now, not at all... this is why Gilce is"
Queen Gibraltar looks in a hurry somewhere, clogging her words.
It's like saying I'm late.
King Orien is also insignificant.
"Then take our daughter..."
"No, as a testament to my friendship with Ruscia, I would love to have the Princess of Gibraltar!!
For some reason, the kings bump into each other's opinions about me wanting my daughter to be my wife.
The direction of the meeting is more and more in the direction of the day after tomorrow......
There is no gap between my mouths, and the tone of the kings is getting worse, so I can't pack anything up, so today's meeting is open.
"... oh my god..."
I took the materials and left the meeting room, but all the fatigue went hand in hand with the glass windows in the hallway of the Royal Palace.
"... you're hot, Your Highness"
"Uncle."
I looked up at my uncle, who appeared next door from nowhere, with more and more eyes.
My uncle always has a cheerful face. Is this man a cyborg?
I'm only seventeen.
"Think about marriage enough. You're old enough."
"What does my uncle, who is not married to you, say?"
"Ha ha."
Think of each person as this person.
But I was born as a prince of this country, so I know I was there too, thinking that one day there could be a political marriage. Especially since this is the time when we are going to need a clear connection between nations.
"The Princess of Gilce is famous as a beautiful princess. You are one or two years younger than your Highness, and you are a poor princess who doesn't look like she was born from that scared old man.... but personally I don't want His Highness to leave this country."
"I don't even think about joining my son-in-law."
"But hey, Your Highness. If you were to succeed to Gilce's throne, I'd think that would be interesting. I still think you have the qualities to be king."
………
I don't know how serious Raymond's uncle is, but I still lay my face down on something that catches my heart.
"Well... Your Highness is about your age, and it's not weird to be with one or two of the ladies I think, and I wouldn't say anything in particular"
"I've already said it. And what is one or two... such an affair?"
"Is that...?? Because I had two thoughts... just by accident "
"Who and who are you!?
My uncle slaps himself in the head with a good old, hepello nori.
I raised my voice like I was put on it. [M]
Uncle will continue.
"Miss Machia and I are witches of the Patriarchate. Especially my engagement to Miss Machia, like I read in a second reading or some gossip magazine."
Well, there have been some topics like that for a while since that prom day.
I dropped my head and put my hand on my forehead.
"Maki... it's not like that. If you look, you'll see."
"Uh, so what is it?
"What would it be... a sister, a sister, a best friend, a warrior... a family... I don't know, in terms of noise, it's a" bomb, "in romantic terms, it's a" hua. ”She's the spiritual backbone for me and you, Thor."
"... that's quite a lot of thinking"
"That's what I've been thinking for a long time. So Maki has a slightly different vector."
"Heh..."
I can't help but annoy my uncle's deliberate noisy voice, his mysterious nigga face.
Oh, he's just a middle-aged uncle now.
And what's more frustrating is that I haven't been able to ask you another question while I've been listening that far.
I'm sure he's a convict.
"Well hey... there's a lot going on..."
And it's obscuring something.
Yeah, I need you to listen to me now.
"Ah, Your Highness. Let me tell you one thing... it's time for the Patriarchate to decide on the bridegroom of the Green Witch."
"............ eh"
I don't know what my face looked like when I said it by accident.
But my uncle looked so funny, I'm sure my face had quite a reaction.
And I was remembering.
Two thousand years ago I was also the bridegroom of a green witch, determined by the men of the sanctuary.
