Sweet Reincarnation

"You've finally settled down."

At the end of the meeting, Pace drinks tea with her.

It is a habit to calm the mind, but she says she needs headache medicine. It is ironic that people nod when they have the right opinion.

Pace sits on a chair from the conference room back to the office. Because it is for casserole, which is my father, it is a disproportionate size for the boy's body.

In front of Pace sitting down. There are large and occasionally dull lumps of metal “eggs” on the desk. I wonder if there is a sense of presence that will settle down, or if the driftstone is a dragon egg.

I can hardly imagine that this is a living egg, but I'm sure the experts will be right.

"I can't believe the eggs are coming out."

Shits pound their eggs on the back of their hands.

It has the ruggedness that it will not crack even if it is dropped from about the third floor, and even breaking it is a difficult business. By the way, there's no doubt that Pace with a smile tried it with gold powder.

It is a national treasure without complaining about its value.

It was said that this would be the first time in history that the existence of the world had been confirmed.

"But now we have a hypothesis about the cause of the devastation of the Devil's Forest."

Pace whispered something strange to his side, playing with him with curiosity.

"What do you mean?

"Tai Lung was the culprit of all sorts. It's my imagination, but I'm sure of it."

"Huh?"

It is evident from various circumstantial evidence that the Magic Forest was rough.

Of course, it is the most powerful evidence that the dragon has jumped out, but there is also an unusual increase in wildlife numbers, mass outbreaks of magic beasts and wildlife have been confirmed in the vicinity of Mori the Devil, it is a biased pest in certain areas, and unfamiliar organisms have been identified. The damage caused by various types of rough forests has been confirmed, and it was discovered by gathering information that we actually had no choice but to hide after the Dailyu slaughter.

Before the Tai Ryu outbreak, it was said that there was only something unusual about the forest environment itself. It was considered the most powerful cause of the national cold disaster that occurred a few years ago, and it was expected that there would be severe environmental changes in the forest and the forest would be rough.

But here, Pace says that the root cause of the forest roughness was the dragon.

Of course, it is understandable that the greater the dragon, which is so huge that it is confused with the mountain, and which may have been the lord of the forest, the more beasts will escape from the forest.

As a common sense opinion, Shiz said that Daiyu's behavioral mutations were due to environmental changes.

Is it cold, or is it because Pace lost the mountain? If the breeding environment of plants and other organisms changes, is it not natural that the dragon will also go wild? That's what Shits thinks.

But Pace shook his neck sideways.

"I don't know about the lifespan of the dragon, but it should take years to become such a giant. A hundred years, 200 years, a thousand years. In the meantime, it is unlikely that there were any environmental changes or abnormal weather. It would be unnatural for the Great Dragon to be exposed a few years ago, with only one cold disaster, or about a year of environmental change. If the dragon is violent and the forest is rough to that extent, the forest is rough more often, and it is more natural for the creatures to stay away from it. Are you uncomfortable with the reason why you started getting violent recently?

I see.

Weather does not always change on average, and sometimes it becomes abnormal. Cold, hot, dry, rainy, and passing by.

It is like throwing a coin and looking at the back, and even if it is average in the long run, locally it can be a situation where the rain lasts for several years, the cold lasts, or vice versa.

If the recent weather here was so abnormal that the dragon also came out of the forest, why didn't it come out when it was the same weather until now?

Pace says that it should be closer to the correct answer to think that there was a problem with the dragon itself, independently of the weather fluctuation, than to relate it to the behavior of the dragon.

"Most animals get hungry and uncomfortable during spawning and breeding. I'm telling you to be careful with the bear."

"It feels easy to hear from Warrant Baron Herskivi."

"I don't know the interval between breeding periods for dragons, but if it were breeding, it's likely that the dragons would have become rough, their appetite would have increased, and their behavior would have been more radical than usual."

I see.

Many people want the weather to explain why the dragon was rough and busted in the forest.

But Pace came up with a different hypothesis when he found the egg.

The theory is that it was the breeding season of the dragon.

As a matter of fact, eggs have emerged, and if they are creatures like the dragons, they will reproduce. As such, it is not surprising that there is a breeding season like certain organisms.

"I came out of the Magic Forest, maybe to make a nest."

Pace then overlaps the hypothesis further. It was a business of rich imagination, but the Shits who had heard of it frowned.

If that's the case, it's a bad story.

"Why?

"It's hard to be sure if it's a dragon, but if it's breeding, it's the turn."

"Well, there is certainly another male and female, and it's possible that she had a partner."

In Shits' opinion, the boy claps his hands at Pong.

Certainly, if it is merely reproduction, and if it is an organism that lays eggs, it would be more appropriate to divide the male and female.

If the dragon found this time is a female laying eggs, it is likely that there is a male somewhere in the forest of the devil.

"I mean, at least another dragon is in the woods."

"You're talking about a headache."

Though Pace was the first to crush them, he wreaked havoc on one of the Barons, causing heavy damage to several territories, even indirect damage.

If you think the same situation may happen in the future, you want to hold your head as Pace.

"... how do we investigate the woods?

"We'll have to be very careful and take the time to be very careful."

House Morteln has been given the Forest of the Devil. It is already a matter of confirmation, and now it is in the middle of the process of informing the aristocrats in distant places.

Get as large a forest area as a country. I wonder if it tastes good, but at this stage, the opacity is too strong. The forest topography, vegetation, ecosystem and climate are all unknown. Moreover, there may be at least one dragon living there. The Magic Forest, where people are told not to swallow home. As a matter of fact, we don't know what kind of danger there is just where we are mass producing the non-returnees.

Therefore, it is the next step to leave it as it is. Even in the event of trouble, the response will change depending on how much information you have. If danger is awake right next to you, you must know the nature of the danger before you can fall asleep.

But instead of being a snake, you won't be able to see the dragon coming out. Epic monsters have actually emerged once, pushing parts of the south into a state of destruction. It may not happen in the future if it has never happened before, but it is not surprising if it happened twice or third time. For the time being, it is the general idea of the Morteln family to apologize for battles like one or eight gambling.

If necessary, investigate carefully. Worst case scenario, it might not end with Pace's generation, but I decided it wouldn't stop.

"But when that happens, it's the certainty of the problem consciousness that I suggested investigating the forest."

Prohor is one of the best.

With all the problems piling up, the risk of the Magic Forest was not even in the eyes of other people, including veterans. Again, this is certainly not negligible as a potential risk in the future.

If you are a good politician to pick the bud in question beforehand, the person who can find the bud has the talent to be a good politician.

"Yes, there are other generations of people who are granular."

The shits broke down saying the boulder was Pace's beloved disciple, but it wasn't all wrong.

Pace taught it from the ground up in a school that brought together the best humans. Compared to ear scholars, they have enough ground power to acquire systematic knowledge.

How to deal with disturbances when they occur, or how to find solutions when unknown troubles occur. With regard to presenting the problem and thinking about the answers, there was wisdom that only people who had properly learned academic things could possess. Does it feel like I'm accustomed to thinking?

The more I feel envy from the Shiites who have gained experience in manoeuvring while struggling with battlefield knock-ups.

Are boarding cadet graduates likely to be quite approximate?

"I can guarantee that I have a certain level of knowledge and common sense. Excellence is our qualities."

If there is an answer, logically speaking, we can find the right answer. At least the elites are good at finding the right answers.

On the other hand, the extent to which an unanswered question can be considered in depth depends on the person's qualities, knowledge, or experience.

This is not only something you can learn and wear, but it is also a qualities that require difficult judgment on the part of those who evaluate.

"Some of the mercenaries are good."

"Look at me, huh?

"I don't think I'm telling you this myself, but you're right. Not to mention Shits, people who know how to run an organization led by people and who have been taught things properly by the generations above are easy to use."

The shortage in the Morteln family today is in the middle management position.

Had it been a few years ago, the lord would have known all the work, or arranged it, and his men would have done as they were told.

But now that the territory has expanded and the quality and quantity of government has increased, it is becoming difficult for the top to grasp everything from one to ten.

In order to reduce the margin of appreciation of the top, we need someone with some discretion, that is, management.

Ability to fully understand top decisions and goals, bite and assign work to subordinates, and deliver results correctly.

Ability as a manager, not as a player. This area is also a large area that is cultivated by experience.

Talking about excellence and obedience is a different story, and having autonomy and responsibility and knowledge and intelligence are separate issues. Even if you're smart, you're ineligible as a boss if you have to wait for orders.

In that regard, mercenary cadres are good.

It is a wonderful qualities that the group of mercenaries has gathered together a mass of personality and produced disciplined results.

The results prove that you have what you need as a manager. No matter how many experienced people have taught them their know-how about using people, as Shiz did.

Well then, let's keep adding more people.

It could be a boarding school, it could be another nobleman's handler, or it could be a mercenary's catch. All you have to do is do what you can and gather talent.

Pace nodded to his opinion.

On top of that, I wonder if there is a better way.

"Do you also take the selection exam?

"Do you say that again?"

Although he was getting used to it, Pace said that he was out of common sense again.

At least in the aristocratic societies of this country, recruitment depends largely on kinship. Scouts are mostly responsible for recruiting by looking at their abilities.

I've never heard of a large-scale exam to recruit people.

"It will be easy to understand. If necessary, the acceptance criteria may be specified in advance. Physical strength, force, intellect, and later character and spiritual strength? Fairly examined by multiple examiners with certain criteria. Isn't it possible that there will be a good gathering of people without ties?"

A selection reference line (border) is provided and mechanically screened against uniform screening criteria.

The squad commander says he can understand what he wants to say, but he also says he disagrees with it.

"I hope it works, but if you do it now, you'll definitely have strings everywhere else.

"We'll have a delicious treat."

There is enough gold to rot, and there is a lot of secrets, riding the rising air that overlaps the Count.

It's like a cockroach wheel that collects spies if you recruit people widely.

Pace answers his questions.

"If you don't understand, do something about it. It must be all because of the boy."

"That's not true. Many of the hardships my father had to be a hero."

It was Pace's work from one to ten. That's what the squad commander or casserole would say.

However, as for Pace, I excuse that the soft part of the father is also large. It was his father's fault because he had trouble with his mother's parents' home, because he was watched by the king, and because he was happy to receive poor land like the Morteln region in the first place.

Pace just wanted to make things better for the poor. As a result, it may have been a little overdone, but if Morteln territory had been rich from the beginning, Pace would not have been soft.

Well... But as for the dragon, hey, it must be the boy's fault. "

"That's half the responsibility with Lord Uranta of the Vicomte de Bombino. I just stabbed him, and I'm not responsible for the reinforcements in the first place."

"Oops, they said that. Ah, so, back to the big dragon thing."

Yes?

Somehow, I wanted to distract myself. The Sergeant once again points to Pace's biggest concern.

"What are you gonna do with this egg?

"... what should I do? Would you like to use it as a pudding ingredient? You might be able to make a delicious pudding."

"Stop it. It's easier for a fallen man to become a battalion size."

The dragon eggs glowed bluntly in front of Pace and the others.
