Price of Management

“Is that true? ”

Duke Briton nods at the trembling Orion King's question.

“I couldn't guarantee my victory. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“Oh, I can't! ”

The Orient kings and the Marquis of Raymond were astonished.

I had to.

A higher spirit has appeared!

We can match the military values of the higher spirits to the Duke of Britain or Earl Raymond here.

It was also a very valuable resource because it was so freely used by the nature of aesthetics that it could be used for many different uses than by swordsmanship.

Moreover, the best unmanned Duke Britain, representing the Orient Kingdom, cannot guarantee victory or defeat.

Earl Raymond grumbles in a fit of rage.

“I'm ashamed of my reputation as the Great Wizard, even though I didn't know I was a Great Spirit." I'm not blind... We should at least develop some magic to measure spiritual affinity. ”

In fact, Earl Raymond has long wanted to study a new field called animosity.

Aesthetics is a discipline that deals with the will of nature with the magic arts of Elves.

When we studied such spirituality, we hoped that we would get clues to the ultimate circle, 8.

But where do you need a Spirit to study it?

Not only Marquis Raymond, but many wizards want to know about animosity.

There were so many things that provoked the exploration of burning wizards such as the power of the mystical Elves, the spiritual system of the unknown realm, and the ultimate in nature.

But centuries ago, and even now, spirituality itself was a mystery.

It would be nice if a group like the Spirit Guild were formed, such as the Magic Guild, to study and record knowledge about spirituality. However, the people who called the Spirit Guild hated being entangled.

"They hate being limited to a social framework as if they were some kind of Elf! ’

Earl Raymond once inquired about a lesser spirit.

A Spirit living in the deep mountain valley asked you to help with the research.

I offered him a lot of money, but he looked very disgusted, and he said, "Do I have to follow you to the palace? ’I asked. If I say yes, I think I will be rejected, so I will just come and ask questions occasionally.

I barely got my approval at the end of the matter, and the Spirit told me to take it back because I don't need the money.

However, within a month, the spirit disappeared.

A letter was placed in the meadow of the mountain valley where the spirit lived.

[I'm sorry, you come here so often and it's frustrating and annoying.]

Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have a title called Spirit Master?

In that sense, Baron Kurt was a very rare case.

It was rare that such an existence as a lesser or more medium-sized senior spirit would be active in foreign affairs, such as doing business and engaging in royal activities.

“It is said that the entire history of the continent would have changed dramatically had old legendary character Raul been willing to do something for his country. However, Baron Karoc Kunt is already active and is only 21 years old, so you can expect the future of the Grand Spirit. ”

Earl Raymond said that King Orwen rejoiced as if he had already embraced Caroc as his son-in-law.

“Don't you deserve to be Jim's boomerang? My youngest daughter will love it, not just for her animosity, but for her political insight and superiority. ”

“With everyone agreeing, it looks like it's only a matter of how to make him a buffalo, Your Majesty. ”

“I see. What should I do, Duke Briton?" ”

Duke Brighton thinks for a moment and opens his mouth.

“By the looks of his being, he is managing the top, but he does not seem to be obsessed with wealth, he is politically active, but he is also not power-oriented. If you were truly greedy, you would be able to benefit even more from your ability to become a senior spirit. ”

The Orion King nodded his head to see if he could accept it.

“I see. If I had known King Erik was no fool, and a higher spirit, I would have given him a greater title. What about the girl? Wouldn't you be coveted if you saw Jim's youngest daughter, a bright young man? ”

“If you had told me enough about the ambassador to get a woman, I would have left many wives. He's still single. ”

“Mmm-hmm. Well, the Grand Chamberlain said she stayed here and didn't show much affection for the ladies. ”

“That's the hardest case to wrap up. I knew it. Spirits don't come easily. ”

Earl Raymond grits his teeth, reminiscing about the past.

I'll pay you 2,000 Orin a year, so even if you recruit me to help you with your animisty research, no one will show up. It was the animists.

“A young man can't hate a beautiful woman. I just don't like to make decisions about the ambassador. ”

“Is there any way you can do it? ”

Duke Briton answered the Orient King's question.

“You can build me a meter. ”

“How? ”

“The Kingdom of Leaden seems to be proposing an alliance soon. ”

“Of course. I thought I'd become three and stop the Horn Empire." ”

“Then you just need to apply one more condition. ”

It was not until the duc of Britain that King Orwen realized his intentions that he laughed faintly at the table.

“You want Caroc Kunt as Jim's Boon for the Alliance's Token? Kuhahaha! Good, good! ”

* * *

“Who's talking about me? ”

I rolled around on the bed, my ears twitching. Ah, I'm so bored.

It's been a week.

No, a member of the King's party.) I don't know what the fuck is taking so long.

I know I've been running the top for a while, but leaders are more detrimental to the organization the longer they drag in their decision making.

My criteria is two days.

More than that, no matter how long it takes for me to think about it, my thoughts are stuck in place.

Nevertheless, like this country, the meeting of Neverland is poisonous.

Or maybe you're not planning something else.

I began to worry secretly as well.

Soon my country would be in turmoil over 100,000 Horn Empire troops.

Time every day was precious, and I was frustrated to be captured here in the Orient Kingdom.

I was confident that I had convinced the duck king perfectly.

However, as I was holding on to myself without giving clear answers, I was starting to doubt myself.

Are you working with the Horn Empire?

After deciding to take on the Baden River, why don't you just hold on to me deliberately so we don't give the Kingdom of Leaden room to prepare?

If I did, I'd be in danger, too.

A situation in which Duke Briton's keen eye has revealed that I am a superior spirit.

If I had chosen to attack the Baden River, I would not have let my enemies threaten me so easily.

I wonder if my nerves are getting sharper.

But I've always decided to summon the gnome in case of one.

The summoned gnome leapt over my head and sat down.

Now she was the same size as a real 14-year-old human girl, but still weighed like a feather. And it's getting cuter. Even cuteness is evolving!

- Heh heh, I'm cute.

Norm, who read my thoughts, laughed in the room. Ah. My sensitive heart melts with the charm of gnome.

At that moment, someone's approach was captured by the shared senses of gnome. Well, that presence was the old Grand Chamberlain's courtesy.

The Grand Chamberlain knocks as expected and comes inside.

“Your Majesty is calling. I'll show you.”

“Ah. Patrick, you wait here. ”

“Yes.”

I went out with the Grand Chamberlain's guidance.

I was relieved that the Orient King summoned me.

If I had a different mind, the Orient King would not summon me, but two Dukes of Britain and Earl Raymond would have come to me and offered me surrender and naturalisation.

Of course, I followed the Grand Chamberlain and imagined that the Orions were full of royal crises and palace wizards instead of kings, but not very likely.

Because the king of Orion is a strong monarch, and I'm sure he doesn't want to dip his hands in such despicable schemes.

The office is awaited by King Orient, Lord Raymond and Duke Britain.

The Orient King greeted me with a big smile when he saw me.

“Hahaha! I'm sorry for the delay. We have so much to discuss, it's too late for Bourne. ”

No, I already know you're a slow decision.

“Can I expect a good answer? ”

In my question, the Orient King nodded gladly.

“Of course. Jim refuses the offer of the Horn Empire. The Barden River negotiations will cooperate with the Kingdom of Leaden and we hope to continue to have a good relationship with you in the future. ”

“Thank you for your decision. ”

“Jim made a natural choice. ”

Took you a week to make that obvious choice?

“Without an alliance with our homeland, the Horn Empire will not stand idly by. ”

“At least I'm not sure the Horn Empire is in a position to wage its own war. I don't know. I'm not sure if that's how Emperor Kars' conscience ended. ”

“Does that mean something else is up? ”

“Yes. I don't know, but Emperor Kars is such a scary opponent, I can't be careless. ”

“Jim will pay particular attention. So, when do you plan to return to the Kingdom of Leaden? ”

“I heard the king's answer, and I'll be back tomorrow because it's an urgent matter. ”

“Is that so? I see. I hope to see you again next time. ”

“It would be an honor for me to see your John again. ”

That's how I said good-bye to King Orion, and I went back to my lodging with nothing to show for it.

I was relieved to see the Orient Kingdom turning to us.

The worst is not going to happen.
