"[Judgment]? You made some amazing magic, Kyle."

"Um, but it's not that big of a deal, Brother Ars. Originally, we could have had a conversation even if we stayed away from each other."

"That being said, [reading] is just with someone you've actually met, isn't it? That's amazing because even people I've never met before [referee] will be eligible. I mean, if that's gonna work, you're gonna lose your position on the radio station I built."

"Well, but I think the radio is useful because it can be used without magic. [Narrator] I can't use something without magic."

"... about that, what are you going to do in the future? Many who now live in the newly acquired realm of Lead can use some kind of magic. But some people can't use it, can they? Besides, it's going to be more that way any day, and isn't it subtle whether the trial system by [referee] is sustainable?

The newly built Charlotte Castle in the city of Lishar.

Now it's still under construction, but for now, the building is as complete as the Reed family faces can do their job.

In that room, I was facing Kyle and discussing it.

The season was already getting old.

We will soon need to go greet the city of Fontana with a New Year's celebration against Garrod, the king.

As a result, the castle was unexpectedly rushed to carry out the work that would be completed during the year.

But this southern land was much warmer even in winter, unlike the kingdom of Fontana, the North.

Of course, it's not that it's not cold.

but snow doesn't seem to get that deep when it builds up.

In Fontana, we used sleighs on winter trips, but we didn't need them that far.

Well, still, it doesn't seem uncommon for people to die in the cold.

So we are also building ice-sucking stone statues in this city to reduce the cold.

When the season shifted so much, people continued to influx into lead territory around winter.

Apparently, he's a refugee.

It was called the land of death, and the surrounding area was rendered unscrupulous, and, moreover, many bandits emerged from it, depriving each other of their food.

Those bandits have already been taken in or crushed by the Reed family.

Still, the devastation of land and society over the past year seemed enormous.

Neither were the bandits. Not all of them were based around here.

He went to the dominated territory of an approximate nobleman, scattered all over the place, and was roughing it up.

That is why so many poor people have emerged who cannot survive this winter on a wide scale.

People like that keep coming together, and Lead Territory accepts that.

Acceptance cannot be refused.

Because that is also the promise made to Miriah, the Blue Virgin.

Give the poor a hand of salvation.

That was the condition for the House of Leads to govern the land.

Of course, the Reed family does not have enough leeway to host such refugees.

So Barca took it on there.

It provides a lot of food and clothing and also puts it in perspective to accept in the territory of Barca, rather than in the territory of Lead, for those wishing to migrate.

Those who possess some kind of skill, such as the Balkaline, will otherwise be adventurers in the mine or west.

Barca is full of dreamy work, so I'm sure all the refugees will be happy with this hand of salvation.

but it also doesn't mean getting everyone out of lead territory.

Instead, the vast majority will hope to remain here.

And Kyle was going to hear that as much as he could.

Because we have extra land.

We can still afford to live in the city of Lishar, and Reed territory has some number of people to bounce back other peripheral forces.

But then there was the problem.

That was about the trial system I was talking to Kyle about earlier.

Kyle was grasping the hearts and minds of those who lived here through an act called an all-inhabitant trial in order for the Reed family to rule the land.

but that will collapse if more and more refugees flow in from the surrounding area.

[The referee] So if more people are unconnected and unable to use magic, it will not be the unity of the inhabitants.

What does Kyle intend to do about this issue?

"That's what I'm thinking of giving magic to the new residents, too"

"Even to the new guys? You don't take it as a knight, you have a certain degree of scholarship in your studies, you don't hire it in the Reed family, you treat it like a resident?

"Yeah. Can't you, Brother Ars?

"... I don't know if I can do this, but it's gonna cost you a lot of money. You know Kyle would be a pretty good amount of money just to ask the church for a name to produce one new knight, right?

"Right. So I'm thinking about getting paid for it by the residents."

"You mean let the residents give you money and give you magic? The refugees don't even have food, do they?

"Uh, I don't know what to say. I'm wondering if I can cover it with taxes in the end. For example, residents born and residing in Reed territory who are 15 years old shall be issued with a residence permit. So, does it feel like whoever issued that citizenship card can be given the magic of the Reed family, but you have to keep collecting the corresponding taxes to maintain it?

"... I see. If we get on track, the necessary expenses of the newly-named will be covered by taxes, right? In that case, that's the first problem. You'll need to name a lot of refugees without money."

"I guess I don't have to name everyone else right now, do I? At first, name against someone who can pay for it. Anyone with money can go to trial right away, but those who don't, I'm just wondering if I could get them to save up for money later and get a national ID."

Finally, do we decide that we need money to live in Reed territory and get rights?

The one who can pay can pay you right away for magic and the right to trial.

but you don't have to pay the one you can't pay right now.

Instead, I can't speak to the verdict.

But I don't know how many years from now, but will all residents use taxes to force them to receive proof of their territory and pay the corresponding taxes?

How much is the one that can pay for it?

Depending on that percentage, I also feel like I could try it.

Alternatively, can we make people pay for new land, etc. in this lead territory without reluctance, if we make a condition that a people's license is required?

I guess we'll have to discuss and pack the details on the agenda already.

We decided to come up with an opinion about giving magic to the residents in front of me and Kyle and the Reed family.
