The Second Dark Age of Dragon Crackers.
It was a history of misery about how to feed dragons.
Ark's monologue began.
"I no longer make all dragon jockeys military, but one of these days the problem is the cost of feeding dragons,"
I don't think that will ever change.
Dragons eat well. Eat really well.
"You taught me sassy in class. At first, all dragon feeding was borne by the dragon kingdom."
"Yes, but there was a war with the demon kingdom, and the dragon kingdom on the way to reconstruction, the cost of food was a heavy burden. I didn't teach it in class, but it looks like there was a rebellion in the military."
"I guess it's a matter of military spending"
"That sort of thing. Even though the soldiers are patient, only dragon jockeys are given preferential treatment. That's what they felt. Besides, they also pay for food for dragon jockeys who are not military. Even the military will want to complain."
"I know that."
The battle against the Moon Warcraft was waged by dragon manipulators, and the war against the Devil Nation is gone for now.
From now on, the influence of the military will be smaller and smaller.
I might be told to cut military spending.
However, the cost of feeding a dragon is fixed. Then what do you sharpen?
"The military moved Congress to stop supporting non-military dragon jockeys. That's half-acknowledged, and non-military dragon jockeys only get some payment"
"If you want the full cost of the bait, do you mean you can be a soldier"
But then, for the hostages, they all go back to the time they tried to be military.
"Naturally, non-military dragon jockeys can't pay for dragon bait. For this reason it was decided to obtain the support of wealthy merchants and nobles"
"Is that the patron?"
"No, it's not. There were no regulations at the time, so anyone could support them as they wanted. That's why dragon jockeys have flown to the demon kingdom, the kingdom of moves, etc."
Until then, dragon jockeys who are not military are paid by the state to feed dragons, even when they are playing.
Use dragons to make a fortune. They were in a time when so many dragon jockeys came out.
That's when the support was reduced.
Then why don't you come to my country? I will give you preferential treatment, which means that it has flown to another country.
Parliament at the time, isn't it retarded?
"The troubled dragon country had no choice but to undo its bait bill or think of another proposal. But even if I undo it, this flow is unlikely to stop. That's what Dragon Nation thought. Do not fully pay for dragon bait. I mean, the idea of reversal."
If I bothered with all the dragon feeding bills, I got a complaint from the military.
After only some trouble, the non-military dragon jockeys left the dragon country.
Then, on an equal footing, both military and non-military, the Dragon Nation was to stop taking care of everything.
"Usually, we all run away, don't we?
"That's why I hit my hand. That's the presence of patrons, and the Royal School, and finally the status of dragon jockeys."
Entrust the dragon jockey's bait bill entirely to the private sector. Instead, the dragon kingdom manages it so that the patrons benefit as well.
So let's co-own the dragon with the dragon jockeys and patrons.
As long as the Dragon Nation holds the patron's reins, spills can be avoided, and patrons can co-own dragons, even if they are not dragon manipulators.
Dragon kingdom, dragon jockeys and patrons have tangible benefits.
However, patron selection must be made with caution, and the public must understand that it is honorable to improve the status of dragon jockeys and become their patrons.
This is how the original form of the patron system was formed and it was completed over the years.
"He didn't have a dragon pick-up ritual in the past. I hear you're on your way to get each dragon out of here. But it seems that a few generations ago the King carried out that it was also necessary to please the people."
"That spectacle, how could it have been?"
"It gets longer when we talk about it in detail, but here's the thing. By the way, Mr. Annella."
"... Yes"
"As we can see from this history, patrons are heavily responsible. That's why the state is serious about creating and running a system, too. If you feel like you can handle it, and if you work hard enough, it might be okay, the vetting of the patrons won't pass, and if you fail, even if you do, you'll be made to eliminate it. If that happens, no matter how much you meet the Chamber of Commerce, a dragon patron will be the responsibility of another person whose country decides"
That's the most likely story, Ark said.
"I'll think about it more seriously," replied Annella, who just understood.
"We still have eight months before we decide on a patron. You should be very worried."
"Yes, thank you for your advice"
"And..."
"Do you still have it?
"Once upon a time, people who didn't deserve a patron often died in suspicion."
