Sweet Reincarnation

Divine King King's Capital.

The news was delivered to the king's private bedroom in the royal palace.

Your Majesty

The king's bedroom is for those who can come in.

It's a private space for the powerful. Only those who have a reasonable level of trust are allowed to enter.

In addition, people who can go to bed late at night, such as the king's biological children, are at the top of his servants.

Your Majesty

It is the maid who calls the king.

She is the top maid of the royal palace and a woman in a very high position.

From the Duke's house, it is thin and clean, but it also draws the blood of the royal family.

And she that keepeth in the shadows day in and day out, and is careful that the life of the king be pleasant, visits the king in the middle of the night.

It's not a glossy story. If so, her voice is not so tense.

With another call, the king finally wakes up.

"What, I'm sleeping right now?"

Even if you are not the king, you will be in a bad mood, such as being woken up at midnight.

If this is a human being, it is likely to be a disrespectful situation.

As expected, King Carrison, who is not a tyrant, asks if there is anything wrong with him, even if he is sleeping in an unhappy mood.

“I'm writing to let you know as soon as possible.”

“What the hell happened? Are you saying that neighbors have attacked us?"

It is not good for the king to be beaten up while he is sleeping.

That's why it's unforgivable if it's not big news, like a rebellion coup and a dangerous king's body, or a prince or princess being captured, or something like a neighbor has invaded.

"No... that's about the dragon." I just wanted to let you know that it's urgent. "

What? Is it urgent about the dragon?

Your Majesty told me that you were asleep, but why did you get it from the chamberlain?

"Then, what really happened?" It's not like he's going to be a king at all. I have work to do even in the middle of the night. "

Speaking of dragons, one of the problems that has disturbed the Divine Kingdom since our arrival the other day.

The turmoil that began with the appearance of the giant dragon still showed no signs of ending.

In particular, I kept the living dragon in Morteln. Something went wrong here.

Or the giant dragon could have reappeared.

Once the dragon appeared. It was said that a dragon had emerged, and Carrison had no courage to laugh at the legends of the past.

And if the giant dragon really reappeared, the damage would be severe wherever it went.

Wake the king, the supreme authority, in his sleep. Whatever you do, you can't leave it.

"All right."

Even though I am frustrated that my work was brought in during my rest period, I can't help but hear the emergency reports that can be delivered to my private room.

With the nightgown on, King Carrison leaves the bedroom and hears the reports of his men who were waiting.

So you said you had an urgent report about the dragon.

Yes.

The information received was highly confidential.

Normally, all the troublesome and omitted procedures were reported to have been followed.

In the case of a normal report, each department's Naosho reports on his/her own work. Leave a note at hand and compile the reports and complaints listed below and report them to the King.

However, this report leaves no room for that. It's for confidentiality.

I don't want to leave a record of the content, so even if there is a defect in the content, I won't try to confirm it.

Therefore, it is reported at a time when Naosho checks for errors in the contents and is absolutely sure that they are correct.

Normally, this kind of thing is only quite important, and even if you try to do it, it is difficult for a busy person to do it.

"The rapporteur is… Viscount Mortelun. It's Casserole."

First of all, I was relieved.

Because there was no such thing as a giant dragon reappearing.

If such a report were to be made, it would not be possible for the rapporteur to be the House of First Viscount. It is likely that the military priests and deputy military secretaries have changed their bloodlines and come to face-to-face trials.

The worst has been avoided. It is only natural to be relieved of this.

However, there must have been something else as soon as possible.

Carison glances at the content.

Even if the reporter says casserole, the scent is somewhat troublesome.

This is the idea that comes from experience, and I could probably deduce that my son is involved in the content.

Because if it were an emergency in a purely professional capacity of Casserole, the reporter would have been reported by Cadrechek, the superior of Casserole, or even the National Army.

Directly from Casserole. It was the most important confidential thing, and the Naosho admitted to Casserole's claim, and it was completed with the report at hand. And an emergency report at midnight.

What do you think? Could it be that it only smells of troublesome fragrance?

Rather than guessing, it may be a prediction with a high degree of accuracy based on factual analogies.

The king spreads the parchment of the report.

Through his eyes, Carison repeated the contents twice and three times, lighting the parchment on which the report was written.

This is because I was convinced that I would never let it leak out.

Has it been proven that dragon scales can be mass produced?

The content of the report is "Dalong peeled off while taking care of the trust in the territory of Mortelun."

Yes, peeling.

The details of the report were also written, and the scales remained firmly on the peeled skin.

If it's the skinning of lizards and snakes, it won't be a big deal, but if it's the skinning of Dalong, the story will change.

In the first place, the national project for the breeding of Dalong is because the dragon scales are a valuable resource.

There were still only a few people in the Divine Kingdom who knew about it, but the dragon's scales could create a rare magical metal called dragon gold.

Dragon gold can be used as a building material to inhibit magic, or as a catalyst to allow ordinary people to use magic.

I can't ignore the possibility that the amount of dragon gold can be called national strength as it is. No, it will certainly be in the near future. Pais and others are convinced that the stockpile of rare metal will be directly linked to the production capacity of munitions, but even if it is not, they will know if they have some decent judgment.

You can use as much magic as you like, and you can nullify as many of the opponent's magic as you like. If we had a lot of dragon gold, we could make it happen. Things that can obscure existing strategies in their entirety.

How much Dragon Gold it possesses can point to the power of the nation.

That's exactly what we call strategic supplies.

Until now, it was better to get dragon scales once every few decades.

I had no choice but to go into the Forest of Magic recklessly, pick up the dragon scales with the luck of winning the lottery, and bring them back unknowingly. It is a scarce and precious resource, and it is known that the church has hidden it. The ritual of creating a wizard was also monopolized by making light gold, a subordinate compatibility of dragon gold, from the dragon's scales that were probably hidden.

The monopoly of information generates wealth. A church that had benefited greatly from a picturesque oligarchy and information blockade.

That was last year's coalition of the Morteluns and the Bombino. In essence, Pais alone defeats the dragon and successfully acquires large quantities of dragon scales. In addition, we discovered a method for creating dragon gold, which is the top-ranking compatibility of light gold. The production method was also distributed.

This led to the collapse of the church's magical metal monopoly.

The Divine Kingdom is rapidly advancing in magic technology, and the quality of its wizards is steadily improving.

The Royal Research Institute had already received reports of successive donations on an unprecedented scale. While it is called donation, it is actually close to investment. Improvements in magic technology through dragon resources are being implemented simultaneously and simultaneously in many fields. It's like a mineral vein that hits wherever it's dug, and those who are sensitive to profits are desperately investing a lot of money to enclose the technology.

Each aristocrat competes for money to increase his skills and knowledge, and the royal family, the owner of the Royal Research Institute itself, pays for the rise. What a delicious story.

But naturally, if these good news continue in the future, it can't be.

Especially the dragon's scales and the dragon's gold made from them.

Now, there were a lot of dragon scales on the market, but dragon gold was a consumable. As long as the number is limited, it will disappear one day.

I don't know how long it will take, but the more I used Dragon Kim to increase my magical national power, the more I cut down on the time limit for resource depletion.

However, it is a problem.

In this report, it was confirmed that the dragon scales were "continuously produced".

If so, the hope that I thought was the best became a fact.

Now, the Divine Kingdom can advance in magic research and combat deployment without worrying about resource constraints.

With that, the increase in national power is a pledge.

"It's a story that gets woken up in the middle of the night."

Confirmation of information that may underlie the national strategy.

It was highly confidential and valuable enough to wake the king in the middle of the night.

This information is limited for now.

Parents and children of the Mortelun family and several of their men. Military and Secretary of State, and Carrison.

I wonder if pastries really are the ones that exude different colors.

An unbelievable boy of a certain age who can still be called a child.

The fact that it holds a secret that determines the fate of the nation.

According to the report, his boy was the first to learn this secret.

Hmmm, this is still a feat, isn't it?

It would be a feat to think calmly and succeed in increasing the nation's national strength.

In principle, prizes and punishments should be given to those who stand above others.

Carison thinks that we should honor those who have exterminated dragons, found eggs, hatched them, established their breeding methods, and now blessed them again.

At the same time, however, I think this is also the case.

I wondered if it would be good to end with a normal reward while doing such a great job.

I'll surprise you a little bit.

There was a childlike smile on Carison's face that came up with a mischievous idea.
