Lesson three: Slime gets caught up in politics

Travel in Chris' carriage as he is rocked by the carriage.

Orpheus listens to a lot of things.

Apparently, the kingdom of Granfalto, where my mansion is located, is pretty lame about the concession of a special effects recipe, and the Ashley Empire thinks it has to accept it.

Not yet.

There were only a few victims in several villages yet. It won't be a big deal if we can deal with it promptly.

However, if the initial response fails and the disease spreads to a large city, the situation becomes unstoppable even with medication.

That's why I want medication as soon as possible, even for a second.

"Chris, I know what's going on.... I also know what the Kingdom of Granfalto thinks. It's terrible."

"Mm-hmm. Helen, I can't allow you to use the medicine you made like this."

The Kingdom of Granfalto is a historic power.

But they are being overtaken by the Ashley Empire, both commercially and militarily.

I rely too much on the inventions and patents of me and Enright's sisters, and I also keep the majesty of the great powers.

It is politically correct to slap the Ashley Empire, which has shown its weakness here.

Even if that makes sense, I don't like it.

I'm trampling Helen's desire to save someone.

"Dear Orpheus, Nicolas, I'm sorry"

"Fine. If that's the case, I have an idea. Nicolas, you're gonna be okay."

"Mm-hmm. I got it. Nicolas can do it."

Orpheus looks difficult.

I'm sure...... you're thinking about the Mansion of the Kingdom of Granfalto.

It was the embassy of the Kingdom of Granfalto that was brought here.

An embassy is a building inhabited by officials and nobles of a country with national connections, and can also be described as the territory of the Kingdom of Granfart within the Ashley Empire.

This is a good place to negotiate.

He was introduced to the nobles on the side of the Ashley Empire before the negotiations began.

They praise Orpheus and Nicolas.

They also naturally have a lower heart, just as there is a lower heart on the part of the Kingdom of Granfalto.

... If you have too much power, it's an unexpected cramp.

The Ashley Empire is after Orpheus and Nicolas.

The Ashley Empire side is interested in [magic] and [alchemy] enlightenment. With the numerous inventions of the Great Sage, the Kingdom of Granfalto has been able to maintain its strength until now.

If the Great Sage dies and acquires Enright's daughters, who inherited that power, it will sharpen Granfalto's power and lead to the strengthening of his country.

He also seems to know that a dumb nobleman has stormed off and let Enright's sisters escape.

Plus, I even know how to interact with Chris. Or maybe it was expecting a pipe role with Enright that acquitted Chris.

Tiger sights are after Orpheus and Nicolas for their chance to pull through now that they have even stronger objections to the kingdom of Granfalto because of the epidemic.

They treat the two of them like that, and they offer to support research and so on.

Objectively speaking, it's an attractive condition.

"Piuuuuuuu"

Humans are ugly. I can't believe I'm greedy in this situation.

Still, it might be better to be in the kingdom of Granfalto, where you despise the Orpheus just because you are a sub, without much support, and on the contrary, truly took the shit of a metal fat duke and tried to deprive him of his heritage.

It is Enright's mansion that has the remainder of its heart.

Our house, packed with memories, something we decided to definitely get back.

There is a last resort... that mansion is packed with my mischievous mind, witchcraft and skill.

With enough magic, the mansion is made to deform and walk itself.

Evacuation from every mansion is also a hand. The problem is that I'm the only one who knows the function and the sisters don't. I want to tell you someday.

"I understand the story. Me and Nicola will work together on this one to save a lot of lives. But don't do anything more."

Hmm, did Orpheus also properly discern the intentions of the Ashley Empire?

I was anxious because they didn't teach me these things, but they were looking at my back and learning.

I hope Leona, Enright of [the King], is there.

That kid specializes in this sort of thing. My ability to negotiate and read the psyche of my opponent is slipping out. Leona is the weakest sisters in combat...... or the average person level. But it is also, in a way, the strongest enlightenment.

Consciousness ended as a whole.

It seems it's time to move to the conference room.

Well, how unscrupulous is that metal fat guy going to say?

The nobility of the Kingdom of Granfalto and the nobility of the Ashley Empire line up.

The noblemen on the side of the Kingdom of Granfalto have a blatant look down on the Ashley Empire side, beginning with the Duke of the Metal Fat.

I imagined it but my head is starting to ache.

That country may not work anymore.

The Duke of Cheng Jin Fat looked suspicious when he saw Orpheus and Nicolas before opening his mouth.

"We, the demands of the Kingdom of Granfalto, remain unchanged. If you want medicine, you'll have to take the Grand Lead Convention."

Once again, his men will read out the Grand Lead Treaty and the dot.

Says the abolition of customs duties on goods of the Ashley Empire from the Kingdom of Granfalto.

Says the Granfalto Kingdom side is free to decide on tariffs from the Ashley Empire to the Granfalto Kingdom.

Says he'll have to pay an enormous amount of money equal to one city's annual budget instead of providing the technology for drugs, and he'll pay extra for each drug.

Say, give me some patents that the Ashley Empire is monopolizing instead of offering the technology of medicine.

Says, give Princess Marina, known as the treasure of the Ashley Empire as a hostage, to the daughter-in-law of one of the Counts.

"Pippy."

Sigh as much as you want in Orpheus' arms. Super Inequality Pact.

I thought it would be difficult, but it's more than I expected.

... That's it, do these guys even want to wage war? Especially Princess Marina, the Virgin. If I get my hands on that one, all the soldiers in the Ashley Empire will be butched.

If I'm on the side of the Ashley Empire, I'll accept it on this occasion and declare war as soon as I've acquired the art of medicine.

That's about all I'm talking about. That would kill tens of thousands of people.

In fact, the Ashley Empire side is quite angry inside.

They propose a compromise. It's a condition you can see from me that you're compromising to the limit.

There is no doubt that the Kingdom of Granfalto will prevail if we make a treaty with this.

Even so, there is no sign of any concession on the part of Granfalto.

Well, is it time for my daughters to move?

I just have to make up my mind now.

It wasn't Orpheus who stood up, it was Nicolas.

Surprised.

Even though that kid is highly familiar and doesn't like to talk in front of anyone but his family.

"Come on. Helen, hey, I made pills to save everyone. Not to make it a tool of politics. Nicolas declares as Enright of [Alchemy]. The last compromise on the part of the Ashley Empire that came out, if you don't want to drink it, Nicolas will make a special effect of the epidemic."

In one word, the place is a mayhem.

The medicine can only be made by Enright Helen of [Medicine]. Everything is built on that premise.

Because of this, the Kingdom of Granfalto will have no chance of obtaining any right to persevere.

From the Ashley Empire side, you wouldn't even want to make a compromise treaty if there was someone else you could make.

"Silly, there's no way I can. It's a medicine no one could have made but Enright in [Medicine]."

The Duke of Cheng Jin Fat screams. But Nicolas is not upset at all.

"Potion making is also part of [Alchemy].... This disease is quite special and complex. Even Nicola can't make medicine from scratch. But unless you have a real thing. Leaked from the Republic of Miralda, I have the special effects made by Helen Nee on hand. Nicolas and Helen. Hey learned the basics from the same guy. If there's a real thing, I'll make it look like a reproduction."

Nicola takes out the bottle. There was a light blue potion in there. It was deliberately left undrinked.

I would have considered Helen's position when she said she spilled it, not what Helen sent me.

"Choose one. Enright's sisters are not going to put their shoulders in either. A compromise put forward by the Ashley Empire by the Kingdom of Granfalto… something that nonetheless makes the Kingdom of Granfalto quite advantageous. I wouldn't make drugs for the Ashley Empire if you'd take them."

Nice drop.

If we just say that we will make and provide drugs, the Kingdom of Granfalto will never forgive Nicolas.

Sooner or later, it will be completely impossible to reclaim Granfalto's mansion.

… but if it is a sufficiently profitable proposition for Granfalto, there are few.

I know it's the Granfalto Kingdom. Things that Enright's sisters don't say for sure.

If Nicola says she can do it, I can do it.

There was also considerable confusion on the part of the Ashley Empire.

He doesn't even want to drink a compromise proposal, but if that upsets Nicolas, it'll all be over.

Nicolas was growing. It was Nicolas who took control of this place.

"Okay. For the part of the Kingdom of Granfalto, let's make the technique of medicine conditional on the signing of the treaty put out by the Ashley Empire."

"I also agree with the Ashley Empire side"

Both the Grandfart kingdom side and the Ashley Empire side are faces that have scuffed the bitter bug.

Thus came Nicola's imagination.

Saving people, in that respect, is the best ending.

Relieved.

But the next moment, the door opened rampantly. It's a message from the Kingdom of Granfalto.

"Look, this is an emergency call from my home country...... A research facility in the Republic of Miralda has been raided by someone. The drug production line has been completely destroyed, and [medical] Enright, Helen Enright, is missing."

Helen!?

Orpheus and Nicolas distort their expressions to amazement and sadness.

Helen is strong.

[Medicine] is a technology that can also be converted into battle. Survival is also high. Probably alive.

But the enemy Helen has to flee? Such things are limited.

"And the survivors saved by Helen Enright are keeping a message from her. This epidemic disease used the power of the evil gods by the Seven Sins Church...... I noticed the existence of special effects. They were not tired of destroying research facilities alone, and went to beat the ex because it was likely to create a new epidemic disease. We also say that the Republic of Miralda is only the beginning."

The information was desperate for everyone here.

The Seven Sins Church is serving an evil god that spreads an epidemic that cannot find a cure unless it is enlightened by [Medicine].

It's not a sealed or weakened evil god as it has been before.

Probably already resurrected in perfect form.

"Nicola, let's go help Sister Helen"

"Mm-hmm. I'll be right there."

At least as things stand, there has been no new epidemic just the destruction of drug production facilities.

I'll take care of the Ashley Empire and the Kingdom of Granfart, and you should go help Helen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me first. We're going to help Sister Helen."

"Chris, if the Kingdom of Granfalto says he doesn't like compromises after all, send a letter with a golem dove. Send a recipe simplified enough that a leading alchemist can make it.... If you let Chris write you a letter of lies, then you will be rewarded with the power of [Alchemy]"

That's what they shouted and Orpheus ran out holding me.

We can't help but worry about Helen.

And me, too.

"Pippy."

Stay safe. Helen.

I pray so.

Doron.

In the body, the evil god's power, the temper, is broken.

Maybe he would have already gone outside. Maybe he's responding to the fourth evil god.

Let's hurry, Helen is any impotent kid who saves people's lives.
