The Economics of Prophecy

Seven stories, cold liquor cups.

Gashan!

"The booze is lukewarm"

A man in luxurious clothes slammed a glass on the table in a seat illuminated by a lamp. The lady hastily added ice to the Lord, who let her shake her beard. A crystal glass that is not cloudy on expensive liquor distilled from the wine. It is even more ice.

Even though this man, who sets up a mansion east of the royal palace, will occupy the alpine mountains, the cost becomes eye-catching, considering that he will be transported to the king's capital and stored in the mansion's ice room.

Not to mention, given the current state of his territory.

"What did Craig say he was up to?"

Dernius, the second prince of the Crownheight kingdom, said abominably. He looks down at the three men who refrained in the lower seat, critical that the lights arrive.

"Said, planning, etc. I'm just saying that there are fewer orders for the maintenance of the New Knights carriage. I've only received half the orders I plan to place."

Of the three, the most intimate man answered. The embroidery of the shirt peeking from the hem indicates that he is given a rank of nobility, albeit hypothetically. It's my prerogative as head of the carriage guild. Of course, he himself is well aware that it is of no use in this setting.

"Hmm. Demanding all that budget"

"If you have money to spend on the Knights, you can use it for my territory. Unlike Bertoldo, Kurtheit can't be replaced."

"Your words are most sincere. The Grand Duke's territory is the kingdom's necessity. It's just that Bertoldo has this, uh, weird movement."

The guild leader tells the story of his purchase from Pegatta, the silver chamber under his umbrella. The story is that the Grand Duke's carriage maintenance was entrusted directly to the craftsmen. Procedurally, an intermediary fee has been paid to Pegatta, but we have to worry about overlapping with the Knights.

For him to dominate the carriage market with an overwhelming share, the amount itself is not significant. As for the Bertoldo thing, it's just a deal for the Silver Chamber under the umbrella. But he had to be sensitive to the power relations of the aristocratic society, where mediating between aristocrats and craftsmen is the source of power.

"What do female foxes look like when they're craftsmen?"

"Wow, I don't know. However, commerce is only a lesson to be learned through us merchants. Disorder if this kind of thing piles up. And hence the tax to be collected in Kurtheit..."

The guild leader said with a certain attitude. Of course there is exaggeration in it. But the taxes his Chamber of Commerce will put in the Grand Duke of the East are never small. In fact, the Grand Duke glanced at the word tax.

Kalest has been devastated and huge costs have been incurred to rebuild Kurtheit. You shouldn't be able to look past it for the luxury lover of power.

"What, is it coincidence? Even in the Wang capital, the Chambers of Commerce under the Food Alliance are making a bad move."

The man to the right of the Carriage Guild Leader answered with a dark eye. The outfits, which were luxurious in the past, are quite varied. Drefano, it is the glory of his past that has gained strength by incorporating into the leading men of Calest and the Alliance.

"The new guild leader swung his tail at the female fox."

"Rumor has it we're about to do something in the form of a king's capital."

"Form...... With that said, Craig's dog would have said that. He was pissing off Grinisias."

The prince's cheek was drawn. They reminded me of my brother's sunny stage.

"With that said, His Excellency the Chancellor is not here today..."

"I hear Grinisias is busy working. That, too, keeps my head bothered by the growth of the Third Prince. They're busy killing me for chores in setting up a new knighthood."

"When it comes to the new Knights, the dragon crusade is a tough topic."

On the left of the guild leader, the darkness seemed awesome. A man with a black hood raised his voice for the first time. He's an exotic merchant who got the legend of a carriage guild leader in a timber deal.

"Well, do imperial merchants care about warcraft?"

"Of course it's not indifferent. Warcraft is a major threat in an empire where demonic veins run vertically and horizontally. I'm afraid the Grand Duke would appreciate it."

"Right, a number of villages in the realm were crushed. If it comes every few years, it's gonna be tough."

Disguised as generous, Zangrich's words are irritating.

"Sounds like a popular or awesome third prince in Ichii. Even in the Empire..."

"Hmm. It would have worn off in the battle against the Daitang Second Knights. Craig was just lucky. Lift it up with a hero or something."

The words of the black merchant were blocked by the prince.

"I see. You didn't have enough demon veins in the kingdom for a giant warcraft. I'm so proud of you."

"It was originally a sweep of three men and four men who didn't inherit the house, such as the Third Knights. For the first time, many will frown."

"That's right. But there are many things I don't understand. Rowan just went after his status, and he fell back to Craig until Adele. The old Second Knights were better than this one..."

"Speaking of Adele, I hear Craig went out of his way to stay in Marle for a week before the crusade."

"Well, that's..."

A black man took a small breath.

"Tenberg's got a lot on his mind. Speaking of which, they're planning to train heavy units"

"Ha, I didn't know you liked to get mixed up with a soldier while being royal"

"You're the First Knight Commander when it comes to the Marquis of Tenberg. 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, no, no

"So you're saying we're going to privatize the new Knights!

The prince, who was grinning, changed his complexion.

"We must hurry to take in the First Knights. If we hold down the First Knights defending the King's capital, Craig will do anything to help us."

"We have to gather that training and that information. Have you heard anything?"

Zangrich found the merchants.

"Yes, no. That's crazy. Training should give us a voice in advance. Heavy Corps carriages are delivered and serviced by us."

The Carriage Guild Leader put a fat sweat on his forehead. The merchants of the Knights, who have a high profit margin and a strong symbolic significance for the industry's unshakeable position, if anything else cross. Now it's enough to rush him.

It is also new to his memory that in the food guild Drefano and Kenwell fought over the munitions.

"Speaking of which. I heard from you that His Excellency the Grand Duke of Bertoldo is interested in the timber of the Empire."

The guild chief saw an imperial merchant.

"He said it was wood. Ridiculous. What do we do with the trees in the countryside where there are only wheat fields"

"... even if Bertoldo can fix the carriage, to build a new carriage..., everything must be missing"

The Carriage Guild Leader drowned a cold sweat as he followed. He knows exactly how many craftsmen it takes to build one carriage. But another merchant opened his mouth.

"You can't be alarmed. If you crushed Kalest and Drefano and put the food guild in your hand, then you're going to…"

"Your Highness Craig, Grand Duke Bertoldo, and a tradesman at the trade fair? You can think of some kind of large-scale plan. There's a statue in the form that's just been made."

Delnius turned a blind eye to the word statue.

"Is it something that makes my brother look bigger than this? Whatever he's up to, crush him. We need to be flexible and informed about the dissatisfied members of the former Second Knights. Find out about the trade fair and what they're doing with the merchants. Yeah, why aren't you Greenesias at a time like this?"

The face of the noisy Second Prince Valve. The two kingdom merchants looked anxious at each other.

"Looks like the carriage is holding something."

The man in the black robe lifted the look he had hidden under his hood.

"Because it is a necessity for the transport of flat ground. Empires don't use carriages very often."

"There's very little sight of many carriages going around like kingdoms. I don't like the terrain."

"But your carriage is quite splendid."

"Ha, I had an idea because it's that kind of geography. There are vehicles made of special materials. They are allowed to use it in relation to the King's capital and the Imperial capital. Well, the boulevards and the cobblestones of the king's capital, which are allowed to pass through us if we enter the kingdom, are flat themselves. The toughness of the handle is also the rotting of the treasure. I have a habit of handling it. As the best carriage dealer in the kingdom, you can have as many excellent carriages as you want."

The imperial merchant waved his hands and made him try to be humble.

"Ha, it's not that easy. Even if it gets a little better, we won't talk about it if we make less money."

said the guild chief. That is the requirement of commerce for him, who is linked to the Grand Duke of the East from generation to generation and is given preferential treatment in the supply of wood and metal.

"Whatever it is, don't let the female fox or the third prince like it anyway.... Huh!

Zangrich's wrist turned abominably over with a glass of liquor.

"Hih!"

Gashawn. On the wall right next to the samurai, an expensive glass splashed.

"It's warm. Don't taste bad."

To the word of the Lord, the servants rushed to fetch a new glass and ice.
