234 Stories: Cold Belly Exploration

A few days later.

Returning to Gregoria, the central city of Gregorn territory, Diaz had invited the heavy towns of his own territory to the reception room.

The reception room that invites visitors is just the right interior for words such as "luxurious mess".

Items such as landscape paintings and portraits of Diaz, rare dishes obtained via Wangdu, and golden cups and letters of thanks given as a reward for large sums of money paid to the royal family are placed everywhere.

"Dear Diaz, good luck with this long journey"

Prior to everyone else, a lukewarm bald-headed, magnificent man moves his labor as he rubs his hands on Diaz.

He is the head of the Gregorn tax collector.

"Hmm. I'm sorry everyone called out so suddenly."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Go ahead, tell me what it is"

"If it's for Dear Diaz, no job will be bitter"

Everyone uses Diaz for me, too.

Basically, Diaz is a person who does a tremendous amount of "echoing" to his men.

It can be tough to get your eyes on it, but if you even like it like the people on this scene, you can do whatever you want in the realm.

They can benefit in all respects, from the preferential treatment of their rights to the accommodation of their relatives' working mouths.

It is no exaggeration to say that none of the forces that defy Diaz in themselves are in this realm, because they have consolidated the upper echelons in those people.

It is, of course, the inhabitants who are heavily taxed who are eating the %.

"Oh. Blessed are competent ministers like you, and I am truly helping."

Diaz smiles softly at all times.

"To everyone like that, I need to fold in and talk to you today. Have you ever heard of the rumor that Lady Graciole has appeared in Istell territory?

"Master Graciol, is it? Rumor has it that he showed up in Isteria about a year ago to accomplish the reconstruction of the territory?

A tax collector man looks suspicious.

"Hmm. It's a rumor, but it wasn't a rumor, it was the truth."

"What?"

Everyone, including the tax collector, will have a decent face.

"I can't help being confused, but it's true. In Isteria, I have met with Lady Graciole. I met a real God."

"Oh, you know. What you're saying... is that God has descended into this world?

"Yes."

When Diaz nodded, they all looked at each other in confusion.

Master Diaz can be seen as having lost his mind or something like that.

"No, don't look at me like that. I'm not lying."

"Ha... Um, how did you know that Lady Graciole was real?

"They showed us the sights of the afterlife. After death, they showed us in front of us what would happen in heaven and hell."

……

Diaz scratches his head at everyone who pushes him.

Even if they say this, I've anticipated things they won't believe right away.

"Just listen to me. According to Lady Graciole's story, how much good or bad you've done in this world determines you go to heaven and hell. Let's get this straight. All those who are here now, including me, are going to hell if they stay like this."

"Dear Diaz, I am afraid"

A man in law raises his voice with a resolute expression.

"Isn't Master Diaz fooled by those who name that Master Graciole?

"Oh, yes! Isn't it impossible to talk about God appearing in this world and so on!

"Dear Diaz, be sure!

Diaz controls his subordinates with both hands, "Fair enough".

"No, I know what everyone's saying. You suspect I've been brainwashed?

"Yes! Heaven and hell exist, etc."

"Here, here! Why don't you shut up! That's rude!

"That's right! Dear Diaz, I have no doubt about Diaz!

Those who care about Diaz's eyes and defend him, those who tease Diaz to go back to sanity, are disturbed, and everyone makes a scene.

Diaz watched everyone make a scene and opened his mouth again.

"Good. Everyone can say what they want. I also know very well that you can't believe it. So did I."

"Dear Diaz, you said you were shown heaven and hell, but what the hell is that?

A man from the law officer turns his sharp gaze to Diaz.

Though I smoke plenty of sweet juice under Diaz's asylum, I was not suddenly convinced or anything of such an unintelligible story.

"Keep it up. Heaven and Hell were shown to me."

"Does that mean, in theatre or something?

"No. Heaven and hell appeared before us. I saw clearly the monsters in the burning vast streets and the deceased being ripped off by them."

"The deceased? And the monster, is it?

"Mm-hmm. I want you guys to go to Isteria and see that... oh yeah. Look at this."

Diaz took a bottle of thyrium out of his nose and kneaded it before everyone else.

He borrowed a few bottles from Ichigo as a tool to persuade his subordinates.

"What is that? Clear..."

"Is it a gem? Much more beautiful..."

Everyone stares seriously at thyrium.

"Watch."

As Diaz folded the thyrium, a blue light dwelt in the center.

They all say, "Whoa!?" Raise your voice.

"This is a tool that houses the power of the Spirit of Light. Put it in the water, swing it, but it keeps glowing without even emitting heat"

When Diaz waved the thyrium, the whole thing glowed blue.

Everyone stares at the sight.

"See? The Spirit exists. In the same way, God exists. Look, take a good look for your hand."

"I didn't know there was such a thing..."

"And I can't believe it..."

The subordinates receive the thyrium and look at it by making sure they all stick their heads together.

"Lady Graciole says that sins committed by herself are counted as sins, as well as if her own men worked evil. If you die on top of your sins, you'll be chopped up by monsters in hell forever."

"Hey, what a serious story..."

"Hmmm... it would be too unreasonable or incredible to understand"

"That's why I'm telling you to go to Isteria and see hell with your eyes."

Diaz tells his hard to believe subordinates a little irritating.

They reluctantly nodded, like, at the appearance of such a diaz.

"I want you to head to Isteria as soon as tomorrow morning. By then, there's always something I need you to do"

Thereafter, Diaz told them to talk in detail to stop all the evil they were currently doing in their progression.

The next morning.

Diaz, who had decided to review tax rates throughout the night and liberate citizens who were arresting him for unreasonable reasons, had not slept one night and had called Nibel to the reception room.

"Dear Diaz, good luck with this long journey to Isteria.... You know, you don't look so well."

Nibel turns a strange eye to Diaz, who has a blue and white face.

"Oh. I'm a little busy. Well, never mind."

"Ha, ha"

Nibel puts on the table a golden glass with amber embellishments and a bottle of silver with fine fruit liquor that she brings as a souvenir.

"Well, don't push yourself too hard. Besides, I picked up a rare cup from Wang Du. I was hoping to give it to Master Diaz."

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's better than that. I need to talk to you."

To Diaz's unscrupulous demeanor, Nibel makes a decent face.

"You're in charge of the sale of salt."

"Is it salt? Production is still going well, but is there a problem?

"Hmm. You're a good old man, too, aren't you? Think it's time to raise a successor. I've decided to put someone else in charge."

"... Excuse me, may I ask you again?

Nibel turns a sharp gaze on Diaz.

"Did you tell me to pull my hand from the salt business?

"That's right. You will have the knowledge of business to date. Now I want you to bring it to life as a deputy manager of the livestock business."

"Dear Diaz, that's a different story. When it comes to the salt business, didn't you say you would leave it to our family for the future"

Nibel quietly objects.

Diaz said inside, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. This de civilian" nearly got his back in the chair.

With Nibel's hands on Zirconia (and Diaz thinks), he was already less than a garbage worm in Diaz.

"Things have changed. Our territory will now fully support Istel territory."

Eyes open like Nibel was surprised.

"Let's get this straight. You threatened Miss Reese about a year ago. You can't keep whoever did that in charge of the salt trade."

Diaz knew that Nibel threatened Leese by putting out a salt deal to pick him up.

Near him, who saw Nibel after an interview with Reese, "I'll be sure to show you something in your eyes" as she bled out of her throat, reported to Diaz.

But at that time, as a Diaz, I was going to betray Arcadia in the future, so I left him to be knowledgeable unless it mattered.

Even before that, Nibel had repeatedly asked Diaz to facilitate her marriage so that she could manage to marry Leese, but she had just stuck with me that was impossible.

"... did you know"

"Oh. You've been silent until now because you've worked so well for me, but all this time, it's gone. Instead, I'm not going to dispose of it, so pull yourself together."

……

Diaz sighs at the silent Nibel.

"No, I'm not just telling you to back out of your current position. You've done all you can to me, and you've made a lot of money from the discovery of the Rock Salt Cave and the subsequent salt business. I'm going to have the land and the money just commensurate with what I've been working on. With that money, you can spend the rest of your life feeling comfortable."

"… are you coming"

Quietly Nibel answers.

As a matter of fact, it was Nibel's business associates who searched for a rock salt cave where they could mine crystalline salt.

Nibel just poisoned the fellow and made the whole handle his own.

This is something Diaz doesn't even know about.

"Mm-hmm. I'll give you the order to take over the business, so get the materials together as soon as possible."

"Yes, I did. Now, if you'll excuse me today."

Nibel takes a seat and leaves the room.

Diaz looked at the door he had left for a while and rang the bell at hand.

Immediately, one man in elderly armor came into the room.

He is the chief guard of Diaz.

"Dear Diaz, may I call you?

"Oh. Let Nibel's guy be under surveillance for four or six hours now. If you have any disturbing movements, report them immediately."

"Report, is that it? Isn't that a bondage?

"No, just report it"

"I understand. Leave it to me."

A man salutes and leaves the room.

Diaz leans against the back of the chair, like, oh man.

I poured the liquor that Nibel had brought into the cup and took a breath.

"Nibel's guy, you had eyes like this."

In Gregorn territory, defying Diaz means death.

Normally, like Nibel earlier, it is natural to accept no matter how dissatisfied you are without disputing it.

But Nibel, who knows Diaz, is a very cunning, unwieldy man who works.

You can't just back off like this.

He will try to defend his position by any means.

"Damn. If I had, I would have killed him. I didn't know we had to regenerate that outer road..."

Those who get in the way are only eliminated, but if you do that, you're going to paint your own sins.

We need to manage to take him into a state of immobility and pull off every evil he is currently doing in a progressive fashion.

I want to avoid that because if you badly capture them and put them on trial based on past evil deeds, the effects will fly to various places.

That and the recoil that made him do his dirty work came out here.

"But it seemed helpful that Lord Narson hadn't found out about Miss Reese yet. We need to keep up with him and ask Master Gracior for a convenience."

For Diaz today, the most reliable person is Narson.

In the future, we must give Isteria every possible support and establish good relations with him.

To this end, Nibel was a very disturbing being.

Graciol seemed pretty friendly with Reese, so I'm sorry if things came to light.

"Well, first we need to take away the right to run the orphanage he runs as soon as possible...... Damn, he does too much of anything. It's horrible to just think about what happens after you die."

Nibel had found a well-crafted girl everywhere, either by financially hunting down her parents and holding the girl as a samurai to Kata in debt, or by assassinating her parents if she still couldn't, and forcing her half into an orphanage she ran.

Girls placed or served in orphanages, when they are roughly 14-15 years old, are judged to be "about to eat" and surrounded as his exclusive mistress.

Diaz was given one girl by Nibel some years ago.

However, Diaz was originally only interested in "adult women," so it would only be annoying to get a girl, etc.

As a result, Diaz used the girl in the mansion as a normal samurai, without ever having called the girl into the night.

At first she was a girl who was always scared to look at Diaz with frightened eyes, but now she seems to be doing fine.

"Oh, shit. The protection of the border had to be consolidated as well. I didn't know they were going to fight the Barbell guys again... but they had to go to villages everywhere with women, and they wouldn't die of overwork before they could make atonement."

With a bump, Diaz pours the liquor out of the silver bottle again.

Watching a glass of gold poured out of liquor, fuzzy questions brought my head.

"... Speaking of which, how was I going to 'show you something in your eyes' to the Nibel guy, Miss Reese? The threat is empty, but it doesn't seem like we can do it anymore."

Diaz tilted her neck, but nodded, "Well, I don't care," she soaked again.
