The Economics of Prophecy

Out of the curator's office, I moved to the next place with Meer. Go upstairs and open the classroom doors that are usually used by third-year students.

"It's late, Vinder."

As soon as I entered, the voice of Dalgan, sitting on his desk with his arms together, bumped into me.

"Ha, not only has it gone up to silver, but it's the Grand Duke's Chamber of Commerce in the west. I thought you were in good shape."

Pulla with her legs together on the chair distorted her lips.

"When I gathered Vinder's nominees, the first Pulla to raise her hand used to say,

Lilka said as if she was frightened.

"Then let's start the second time. Holdings Participates in Shop Meetings, Central Garden's"

Maria slapped her hand with bread. The most inclusive of these. Because you rock with a bounce that slaps your hand.

"I have a name on my own that's going to appear in a girl's novel. Senior Maria is an observer, right?"

"Oh, Central Garden because it's a relationship I cultivated in the courtyard. That's good."

"Seniors were in the school building at that time, weren't they?"

It's a name like some secret agency, no. Does it sound like a name for a girls' school student council when Maria says it? We need to be careful not to attach strange titles or anything to each person.

As you can see and understand from the participants, this meeting is a gathering of members of the Sage Festival. It was Dalgan who took the audio head, but for some reason Senior Maria is in on it. And it's partitioned. When I first heard the story, I thought it was going to decompose in the air in a situation with no common enemies or goals.

I have to admit that it is actually starting to act as a place for the exchange of information in each area. It makes sense even in the light of the future establishment of a trading company.

The position of a student is appreciated if you think about it. That's all the members have together the place and the time. And it's inconspicuous. I see. It's going to be a secret agency name.

"The agenda was a deal with the Empire."

"Yes, what's going on with the deal negotiations?

"The top of the food guild broke your legs to keep you up. Once I went back to shake it out, I was finally starting to move on. Given that the West is rich, the country and the Alliance will want to put it together soon."

It is an empire bordering the Great River in the northwest, with efficient exports from the West. Food is heavy.

"The Calest Chamber of Commerce is based in Kurtheit, the central city of the East, isn't it? Why did you try to take the lead in your dealings with the Empire?

"It seemed like there was a plan to export a considerable amount of money from Kurtheit as well. That's why you rushed to take office as guild chief. Thanks to you, it's tough when you're going to take over"

"- That's a story I don't know either. Around Kurtheit, mountains are rare for this country."

Roston finally opened his mouth. Belmini didn't take part today.

Mount Tuvire. It is less than half of Mount Fuji at about a thousand and seven hundred meters by earth standards, but it is the highest peak in the kingdom, the land of the plains. Of course, if you don't think about the mountains between East and West. Kurtheit is the number one city in the East at the foot of the mountain. By the way, there's no demon pulse through the isolated mountain system.

There are plains around. It should not be a particularly rich place for food production.

"It's salt. Tuvire produces rock salt. It's essential for the preservation of meat, but you catch the price."

Dalgan said abominably.

"Well, that's what the contract between Calest and the Empire says."

"Even the information in the books of Shaoxian Festival will support that."

Meer supplemented Maria's words.

"Is the Empire having trouble with salt, too? I heard it was rich in rock salt over there."

"As much as the rock salt imported from the Empire was used in the West. You can't go into the mountains because of the beast and the bullshit."

"Isn't that in pretty bad shape? Is this deal special after all? Senior Maria."

When I think about the Legion of Scholastic Runs at Shaoxian Festival, I get really alarmed.

"It doesn't change that the heart of the trade is the exchange of mineral resources, including food and demonic crystals. It's just that they want to narrow down the export of magic crystals for at least a year. The other minerals are still intact."

"Is that also caused by Warcraft?

The production of demonic crystals is naturally a mountain with demonic veins. It can also be taken from the forehead of a defeated Warcraft. It also connects with food shortages and earlier salt stories.

"Wait. So what does the Empire want to sell?"

Lilka lifted her hand. That's the real question.

"It's like the other envoy says he wants to increase the export of wood. There's not enough in the kingdom."

Indeed, the mountainous terrain would be rich in wood. Easier access to wood is also good news for vinders who need water wheels for honey production. However, the wood is bulky. Transport should be tough.

"Looks like you have a plan to use the Great River to transport it to Kurtheit. That's where Kalest chewed, isn't it? If we can get timber to the East, we can expect a lot of profit."

"I see, water transport?... No, from the Empire, it's a way to break through the influence zone of the Devil's Landscape."

I just remembered Fulsey's geography lecture.

The continent is bisected by a great river that flows from west to east through the centre. South of the Great River is a flat terrain sandwiched by mountain ranges to the left and right. Our Crown Heights kingdom. Agricultural country in a plain country.

There are two states north of the river. The western half is the territory of the empire in question in the mountains. Mineral resources in mountainous countries, especially the origin of demonic crystals. Resource country, so to speak. And to the east is the land where many rivers flow. Several cities along the river seem to be creating a loose coalition.

By analogy to the Three Kingdoms, the kingdom is the kingdom and the empire is Wei. Is Shu a river country in the East? Wei and Shu are in the opposite position, though. Later, just beyond the river, there is a large, solidified mountainous area of high mountains in the heart of the Three Kingdoms.

At the top of the Three Kingdoms, but also bordering the Great River. I can't take it off given future international transactions. There are flatlands along the river, even when it comes to mountains.

If you build a city here, it's a central location for the continent's logistics. It is not strange that there should be a military or a battle over it. I naturally asked Fulsey a question.

"Why is this place abandoned?

"It's not an environment where humans can come and go. Mountain areas in the centre of the continent are the darkest demonic veins known, in the mountain range of the blood Sanguis - Urkanas. Unparalleled by demon wolves and other superior warcraft. And I'm telling you, the banks of the Great River are under the influence of the Warcraft of the Blood Mountains."

"I think we're pretty far apart. I knew something like a warcraft flood would happen."

"Not really, a large warcraft with the ability to fly, typically Wyburn. We're going into that territory. It takes a lot of magic to fly, but the superior Warcraft has a huge forehead demon crystal."

In other words, the Great River overlaps the influential area of the Blood Mountains in its center. It cannot be used as a passageway between East and West.

When it comes to Wyburn, it's about winged dragons. Even though there's an overwhelming difference in body size, there's no chance of one being attacked from the sky. In my previous life, I rang as Dr. Dinosaur. As far as I'm concerned, I'm intrigued, but I just have to pass it conservatively.

"No matter how much money you make, if you get attacked along the way, it's over, right? You can't just flush the wood and take it on your own."

"I hear the Empire says it's because of its warcraft repelling know-how."

"Well, over there, fighting warcraft is everyday tea, and there are many warcraft more powerful than kingdoms..."

The information appears to be consistent and somewhere. Well, as long as multiple pieces of information all point in the same direction, it doesn't have to be fabricated. It's about another country, let's be cautious about minor decisions.

"That's right. If the Empire wants to export timber. Red Leaf Tree, can't you get something extraordinarily big, too? At least 80 years old, maybe a hundred years if you can."

I remember my promise to Fulsey. If you can see the fluctuations in the Imperial Vessel, you can also get some idea of what's going on over there. Worst of all, if the empire were to be drunk by a herd of warcraft, the impact on the kingdom would be enormous, such as the refugees and the interruption of previously supplied mineral resources.

"What do you use it for?

"That's an experiment with the wise man. I can't tell you the details. Excuse me."

The details of the magic record using the annual wheel are state secrets so far.

"Yeah. The deal under the new arrangement starts first, so it'll take a little while, okay?"

"Just in case, I won't rush that far."

When I said it, Maria laughed.

"Sure, it was just in case you had Sage measure the coins for the Sage Festival."

"The bees are dead?

I had a dark day that seemed to turn my eyes, and when I got back home, what I heard was trouble with the main business.

"It's not the village of Leiria, it's one of those villages that teaches technology"

"Another bee attacked me, too... What are the implications for the plan to increase production?

"We haven't started production yet because we just carried the hive. Besides, it seems that only some of the nesting boxes are damaged. It was originally a test of whether flowers other than wrangles could be used in the Bertoldo enclave."

That village, or for the convenience of Grand Duke Bertoldo when he stays in the Wang capital, is so to speak, on the territory of Kyoto. You were starting to take advantage of the location close to Wang Capital.

"It's just that the mayor there says that animals who ate bee carcasses are dead together."

"Wait, that's not good."

It's not about to increase production. Animals are much closer to humans than insects. If even germs and poisons infected with mammals mix with honey.

"If it's also toxic to honey, it's a big problem. Tell them to keep the dead bee nest if honey is removed and not eaten. Animals say he's dead. We have to go directly and deal with it as a top priority."

"I'll be in touch soon. However, wait two or three days for your young husband to go. Remi was taken by Bertoldo, and I don't have enough guards. If you're as flashy as we are because the kingdom is peaceful, you have to be very careful."

"... Okay, I get it"

You're a good guy.

I sighed in front of my desk after Jacob left the room. Trouble has a lot more friends than I do. I'm sure it's a humane one. Leah, blow it up. But away from me.

Prophecy, factional strife in the kingdom, empire, and main business. I'm going to be swept away by the flow of information. But I can't do any of that.

"I guess Alfina's off tomorrow."

I saw a small cloth bag on my desk. I'll wave by the hand. I heard a chatter and a cheap noise. I wish I could give it to the King before he leaves.
