Episode 333
Just before my departure, I visited Mao, a vicious merchant who had just returned to Milaldia.
"Are you invited as an attendant again?"
To somehow happy Mao, I smiled and shook my head.
"No, you're really busy, right?"
He is now an informal pipe with Wa country. The stories that would otherwise be unpleasant in diplomatic documents are being told secretly to Mao.
He's a Miladian from Wa and just a civilian.
Ostensibly.
"It's difficult to move people this time, so I'm going to take only the werewolf corps.
"Oh ... I see."
Why are you so lonely?
"I'm asking for a Rolmund gem this time. Give me a little bit."
"Yeah, that's cheap."
When he went to Rolmund with me, he bought a lot of that mineral and came back.
There are just a couple of things that Miraraldia doesn't have.
Thanks to that, he made a profit.
"I like minerals that don't come from Kuhwal. They can be of poor quality. You can also use mylardia gemstones, but are there any miraldia gemstones that are in the trade?"
"I see, is that the purpose?"
Mao smiles grinning.
He immediately called the servant and brought a box from the warehouse.
"Rolmund's" scales "are not found in Milaldia or in Kwor. They are not found in the country of Wa and are invaluable."
What Mao showed me was a colorful ore of blue and green. Contains wavy stripes. Similar to malachite or agate, but more complex.
Hmmm, it doesn't look like a scale ...
Mao continues to explain.
"In Rolmund, it is a two-bundle, three-piece stone that is often used in jewelry for ordinary people. In Milaldia, it sells at 50 times the price."
Fifty times.
"Rogue"
"Because there wasn't one in Miraraldia until I brought it in, it's a hundred times cheaper, right?"
For Mao, he is as proud as he was praised for his talent.
I pierce a little nail.
"You're still buying a lot from Rolmund's ore merchants?"
Mao looked a little disgusted.
"Why it?"
"The guards of Klauchen's mine guards have recently swept their heads.
From the Klauchen tunnel, you can reach Rolmund.
When I infiltrated Klauchen, Mao had acquired Klauchen guards.
So when I heard the report from Berken, I suspected Mao first.
Apparently like a star, I laugh grinning.
"As a councilor, I have to report to Berken, what do you do?"
"Wait a minute. If the guards are punished, I'll be involved in my credibility. I'll give you as much as you want."
"No, let's buy at the purchase price. It's bad."
`` It's really !? ''
You are bad.
Not only in Mao, but the spirit of law of the Milardians is low. Even the guards are so.
But because I'm judging by the sense of the past, the Milardians may just look terrible. The practice of getting some convenience under the sleeves, whether in Rolmund or Wa, is a matter of course.
However, I have to do something about this ...
"But if the name is 'scale', I'm not very grateful. I'll translate it into Khwal, or do something like 'dragon scale'."
"Oh, that's good."
The brand name is important.
Mao sighs, but still examines the gems one by one.
"I'm still trading with Mr. Givanki of the Lorumund Mining Association. I'm buying that scrap ore. The irregularly shaped scale is just like free."
Oh, the one I met when Parker did the Skeleton Festival in the Imperial City.
"Because gems are small, light, and do not rot, they sell high because nobles use them to hide their assets. They're great for hiding and trading."
"Don't say that in front of the Demon Lord's Deputy."
Dealing with Rolmunds at the individual level is not illegal, but you'll get caught.
I return to my office, promising to bring Mao a souvenir of Kuwait as a souvenir. He also told me about the mineral sales routes. What you need is a villain.
Separately, you can take out your military funds from the state treasury, but you will be asked to report to your Majesty the Third Majesty, who is annoying about spending.
Ah, I'm glad both my Majesty and His Majesty were careless about accounting ...
No, not good.
Anyway, there is no shortage of funds for local activities.
Anyway, in the werewolf corps, Iishiro is a shit.
The defense of the Imperial City after the Werewolf squad has paid off has newly hired Demon Knights.
Of course, they are not as strong as werewolf, but they are part of the human aristocracy. Ilia's escort is also left with peace of mind. It is also encouraging to report directly to the Demon King.
So unlike this time in Wa country, we can take all the werewolf squadrons with peace of mind.
After all, it's important to give people extra time.
Use money for labor costs and human resource development. I had a hard time with it in my previous life ...
The next day, following a wolf squadron fully armed with a sword, I say hello to Iria.
"The Majesty Majesty. Fifty-six Werewolf hunters below the Lieutenant Vaide will depart to restore order in Kuwait."
When I salute, the werewolf behind me salute as well.
The terrible Ilia is protected by the maids on the left and right, and nods behind the Demon Knights behind.
"I hope everyone's work and wish good luck."
Ilia has just settled down and has not grown up. I had no impression of being a pregnant woman.
He wants to put his hand on his growing bride's tummy and say, "Oh, he's moving."
King Khul, it doesn't matter what the civil war started.
I'm just about to be a dad in my second life ...
When I was angry at King Khul in my heart, Ilia smiled in trouble.
"If you finish early, you can come back early?"
I see through.
But that's exactly what Iria says.
I'm a little shy, but nodded silently. Despite her cute wife, she has to distinguish between public and private now.
"Thank you for your words. Let's do that."
Then, Ilia seems to be worried.
"Isn't it crazy to be crazy?"
"I know"
"I don't seem to know you ..."
Ilia says that, and behind the scenes, the werewolf whine and laugh.
I answered with a serious face as much as possible.
"As always, we will complete our mission safely and steadily."
"I don't seem to understand ..."
The weeping laughter of the werewolf is getting bigger and bigger.
I was in trouble and whispered softly so that no one could ask.
"I'll never go crazy to see my child's face."
"Hmm ... let's believe it"
Ilia responded with an increasingly troubled smile.
At last, the maids desperately begin to endure laughter.
Please believe in your husband a little more, Ilia.
I head for Belousa, a pirate city, while being ridiculed by the werewolf on the road.
As soon as we greet the Governor, the Nurse, we board a Belousa Navy galley.
I waved my hand to Girsh and told the captain.
"Complete boarding, depart immediately!"
"Come on at the meeting point! The guys are leaving!"
"Okay, put on an auxiliary sail!"
"Ora bastards, row well! I'll break with a battle ax!"
The inside of the ship suddenly becomes noisy.
Rowers will also be coming out of the werewolf squad, so it won't take that long.
I will clear up such a troublesome task quickly and come back quickly.
I haven't decided on a child's name yet.
