"I have a better story than my ear."
To the words of General Manager Geithun, I leaned my neck.
"Are you deaf...?
"Yes, something that came up in the Dragon Nation Congress yesterday..."
The Congress of the Dragon Nation is the body that brings together representatives of the country, including Her Majesty the Queen, to make various decisions.
Representatives of local lords as well as the Wang Capital will gather, as well as representatives of the Dragon Club and the Dragon Guide Church.
"On the occasion of that meeting, we came up with some proposals to counter the outrage in the merchant countries"
It is, of course, unforgivable that a merchant country has declared its territory at will.
But where other countries have said, "I will not admit it," the effectiveness is even more questionable.
I'd be in trouble if they asked me, "It belongs to any country," and they might say, "If it doesn't belong to anyone, you have no right to speak up".
When it comes to being able to kick you out by force in the first place, it doesn't.
We just have to take the time to negotiate.
In the meantime, the merchant countries will strengthen their effective control.
When I'm busy with major metastases, I can't be so involved.
"Still, it's not a good idea to declare territory on your own."
"Exactly. Therefore, we will protest against the merchant country. Apart from that, a proposal to remind the merchant countries has been lifted."
Now that the demon kingdom has been defeated, the dragon kingdom must take the lead and consider the harmony of the continent.
"It's really hard for people to live in the Canopy Mountains. Without having to see The Fog People, it is conceivable that there is really no other way than for a few to live in dispersion. This time, the places declared territorial by the merchant countries are also the few places where people can live together."
There must be some overlapping conditions for people to live in the Ceiling Mountains.
One is that it is not a highland.
Two, that there is a flat ground.
Three is that water comes out.
Four things, it's not that deep.
The land declared by the merchant country appears to be filled with all of them, and is said to be on a plot of land three years ahead of the mountain.
It seems that's a pretty low altitude place there, and if you dig a well, they can secure as much water as thousands can live in.
"Seems like a place that was originally used by those who made exploration a business or merchants who collect rare things."
They arrive when they walk into the mountains for about five days, but they still say it's a relatively easy place to go.
A flying dragon won't be long, but mountain walking looks pretty tough.
"So it's a deafening story, but as part of the countermeasures, it's about Dragon Nation holding up a place along the way. This is a territorial declaration."
In other words, it is harassment.
The reason the Merchant State declared its territory seems to be because it wants to say, "Whoever goes before here, follow the instructions of the Merchant State".
I just held onto what was originally there, and since then, I have permission from the merchant country.
Just passing through is the same.
In the end, to explore the back from there, the surveillance of the merchant country follows.
Then it is the Dragon Nation's operation to hold down the place that leads there.
There are multiple routes to go, but it's a somewhat abusive idea to hold them all down.
"This is our territory, so we will not tolerate it on our own," he says to the merchant countries, and at the same time takes the position of not acknowledging the territorial declaration of the merchant countries.
He's going to say, "If so, let's stop" if the merchant countries point to inconsistencies.
Quite how, bad wisdom turns around. Isn't this proposal by Her Majesty the Queen?
"Sounds like a rebellion, but it seems like you're even calculating that"
"Yeah. So the question is, who do we leave it to? Just the mouth doesn't work."
If no one's watching, it's likely to mean suing them for force.
The aim of Dragon Country is to obstruct trade until the merchant country makes a sound.
So do you need a flying dragon to discover traffic?
Will I stick a precious dragon jockey in the Sky Mountains, okay?
"It sounds tough to keep dragon jockeys stationed for harassment."
"Yes, that's where I recommended the Lord Hero"
"... Yes?
Why? Why?
"We have not come to a conclusion on the occasion of the meeting, but the Lord Hero has become the lord of the new territory, which gives the merchant nations a glimpse. External effects are high, and your status will be a lord, so you can also participate in the Dragon Nation Congress. The place is a border… it will be an enclave, but it will be easy to get to and from if you are a hero"
"Yes?"
I'm the lord?
Director Geithun, what are you recommending?
My dream is not to rule the town as a lord by doing a bakery in a small town on the border.
It's a frontier, though... Is that it? Should I do a bakery in my own territory?
No, no, no, no, no, there's no point in opening a bakery in the mountains like people don't come.
What I want to do is I want to bake bread that will please my customers, and not just serve the store.
"Dear Geithun, I thought that was just... a tough story"
If you listen carefully, it seems that all the places you're thinking of making territory are slopes where dozens to dozens can live.
It's just dotted with places like that, but put them together, declare the territory, and I'll rule.
Charazard can travel to and from Dragon Country without so much difficulty, so the burden is small.
That's what you seem to think.
Even if the merchant country says it will make a sound, it can also be considered that it will take a few to more than a decade.
Shalazad can also undo the half-breed obstruction. Well, I'm fine myself.
You can also secretly backup loyal legions (Royal Legion).
With that in mind, General Geithung wondered if I might be the right person.
Of course we are not talking about drawing any immediate conclusions, but the proposal to create a dragon kingdom in the Ceiling Mountains seems to have been accepted by Parliament as not bad.
- I'll open a bakery on the border after the big transfer.
This is my dream and my goal.
I don't want to be in a position that deviates much from that... Seriously.
I plan to go to Her Majesty the Queen tonight.
Uh, I don't want to go.
