Price of Management

- Let's burn it!

The salamander who read my mind suddenly interrupted me again.

“You were playing with fire! They let me fight monsters as much as I could while I was doing repairs in the North. ”

- You never used to play with me!

“ ……. ”

At that point, Salamander had little to do with what he usually did. At best, how about setting a fire to the fireplace or keeping my temperature at the right temperature?

I had no choice but to use it less frequently than Norm or Woundee. Except when fighting like this, there were not many opportunities for salamanders to do their job properly.

“Why don't you start a useless fight for me? Like setting wildfires or setting wildfires.... ”

- Got it! Khehe!

The salamander replied coldly.

The Salamanders were still intermediate spirits, so they were less destructive than the gnomes and the undead, but if I received an unlimited supply of my enormous spiritual affinity, I would have no problem with thousands of Lizardman tribes.

“Then I'll start now. ”

“Yes, Lord. ”

Dean flies back up into the sky.

I looked down at the Lizardmen from a high place and instructed the Salamanders.

“Let's make a big fireball. ”

- Got it, Khehe!

It then formed a fireball the size of a head.

Of course, that wasn't the end of it.

The fireball grows larger. The more I felt the spiritual affinity draw, the more the fireball grew in size.

The salamander expanded the fireball as if it were the sun. I drank a lot of spiritual affinity to provide endless supply and continued to raise it.

The heat was so fierce that it transferred to me.

Now, even the Lizardmen on the ground were surprised to see a huge ball of fire floating in the sky.

And finally…….

- Heheh heh heh! All charcoal!

Along with the strange sound of the Salamander, a huge ball of flame falls towards Lizardman's quarters as it grows.

“Kiehek!”

“Shhh!”

The terrified Lizardmen begin to scatter to the winds, but are already late. The fireball was too big.

Krrrrrrrrrrrrr!

“Is this really necessary? ”

“…… sorry. ”

“The Tex River flows in front, the mountain behind it, and the city embraces it. That was the original urban concept I had in mind, but this... ”

A formidable mountain with ashes behind it.

The Tex River, where the corpses of the Lizardmen float violently.

In the meantime, a huge pit reminiscent of the crater from the explosion...

I quietly listened to Baron Paoni's complaint and simply bowed my head and apologized. I have ruined the natural landscape that inspired Baron Paoni.

It's just an excuse to say it's all Salamander's fault. I proved the infamy of the Mad Spirit again.

Baron sighs and says.

“Well, I'm glad it's still this good. It's a pity that we only burned one peak, because if we had burned the entire forest, we would have blown away all the timber for the shipyard. ”

“I don't do that either. ”

“... Anyway, can't you do something about that mountain peak in the ashes? You can't build a shipyard in a place like this. ”

“Okay. That's it. It's simple. ”

I even made a mountain to build my house, and it's not a job to cover the damn hole.

I instructed Noonum in my mind.

I felt a huge amount of Spirit Affinity consuming, and my head snapped.

The corpses of the Lizardmen blunt into the pit. The bodies of the Lizardman floating in the river were dragged up and into the pit.

Furthermore, all traces of the Lizardman tribe were dragged into the pit, and the dirt covered it.

I pushed all that into the ground. The place where the pits were turned into flat plains.

Baron Paoni, as well as the soldiers, stared at the miraculous sight with their mouths wide open.

“Oh, my headache. ”

When the work was done, I groaned as I touched my forehead. Today, many things seemed to be quite excessive.

It was harder than when we destroyed Lindell Castle. It's the salamanders. They're a mess. I'm so tired.

“Happy now? ”

Baron Paoni walks to the spot where the pit was and steps on it with his foot. Then he nodded.

“Excellent work on the ground. I think I can set up my own shipyard. ”

About an hour later, Dean finishes the mission and arrives.

“I see no Lizardmen have survived. I've deployed an army around the area to drive out all the monsters in one area, and it should be completed in three days. ”

“Then it means we can begin construction. ”

“Yes, Lord. ”

Then it seemed time to meet Jason, who decided to co-invest in the shipyard.

There was also a treason issue between Earl Lindell and Earl Antares, so it was time to meet with him after the establishment.

When I returned to the castle, I decided to write a letter to Jason immediately. But when I took out the letter, the quill, and the ink, I suddenly thought.

It's quicker if I go, right?

No matter how much the servant who delivered the letter drank the potion and rode the horse, it couldn't have been faster than I was flying.

“It's annoying, but I can't help it. ”

I decided to go myself.

In fact, visiting the family without notice was an act of dishonesty. But how long have I been picking on that? If I had lived my life carefully, I wouldn't have even heard that I was a crazy spirit.

Jason doesn't think I'm a decent guy, so I'm just gonna go.

In the letter that I took out, I asked Baron Vale, Dean and Faoni, "I'll be back for a while, so I'll ask you to do something later." ’I wrote. Then I opened the window and flew up.

It's been a long time since I've seen my Uncle Jason's face, hahaha.

Chapter 8. Joint Venture

Jason was reading reports from the family espionage agency. It was a surveillance report on the walks of Earl Antares and Earl Lindell.

In accordance with royal orders, they blocked the passage of the Baden River towards the two families.

With the logistics blocked, the two families would be devastated.

That's why Jason felt the need to keep an eye on the two families. I will do whatever it takes to break the situation. Especially if he's a nasty old man like Earl Antares.

“You're selling all your supplies to the Horn Empire. However, since the Baden River is blocked, it will be difficult to secure the goods anymore.... ”

Cook, Cook.

I felt someone tapping my shoulder, but Jason ignored.

There was no one else in the Oval Office but himself. Of course I was mistaken and focused on reading the report.

“Smuggling, then. It means that the merchants behind the two houses are weak in every corner of the Kingdom of Leaden. ”

Cook, Cook.

Someone else slapped me on the shoulder. This time it was a more clear sensation.

“Who are you?”

Jason looks back in surprise.

Then I saw a 14-year-old girl glowing in golden light.

It was a spirit.

Jason was a very knowledgeable spirit.

“What is it?”

- My dad asked me if I could visit.

“What?"

Jason dislocated his face. In other words, this was the first bizarre case of pre-call notification.

“Say yes. ”

-Yeah.

Noonum hides his face under the ground.

And in a minute.

Knock-knock.

You hear a knock on the window this time.

I look out the window and see the sick human face.

“Hey, Uncle! How have you been?”

I can see Caroc waving his hand outside the window. For your information, Jason's office was on the fourth floor.

“ ……. ”

Jason was amazed and couldn't say anything. All I could think about was swearing.
