The Economics of Prophecy

11 Stories: Buying and selling the future in the second half

I don't need a reward because I use the crisis of human social collapse to lay the foundations of a central garden. Everyone's face was drawn to my merchant-like words. I'm looking up to Fulsey.

"Your Majesty"

After one sigh, Grinisias asked his master to make a decision. When the king stood up silently, he took a wand that was set up on the wall behind the executive desk.

"Release all royal assets for disaster control. Take this as a testament."

The king placed Wang Tin on his desk. A large ruby arrives at the tip glows.... maybe a royal symbol. The significance of it is even greater than its own value.

"With Your Majesty's determination, I would like to imitate all of our nobles"

When Grinisias said, Euphilia and Yeverg, as well as Temberg, all nodded. So it symbolically represents that it is a national crisis? By its very nature, it may be the best hand in situations where it is difficult to manage information about a disaster.... Don't study in a protective way.

Well, we can use this anyway...

"But last year's battle just ended. If we were to send a large amount of troops across the Great River and even build a rear support base, the cost would be too enormous."

The Chancellor turned into a bitter face. I can't tell you what you're talking about when the very survival of human society depends on it. That's not enough because he thinks he's not enough with a broad grasp of the kingdom's finances. By and large, the human reaction to danger is basic atrophy. Since the economy will be even more depressed as it is, there will be no recession if we can all spend money together.

That's why I bet on my main business. I have a plan for the gold measure. It was as a way to build a central garden, but the King's decision just now is a ship across.

"I'm afraid..."

I raised my hand small toward Greenesias.

"We have a proposal to use Your Majesty's decision as a" Teco ”and to raise funds extensively. Besides, if it works, it's a way of not needing to be repaid."

My words make me look so nagging that I don't have any more Grinisias. I get it. You mean, if it didn't work out (because mankind will perish), you don't need to pay it back. Well, I wouldn't deny that either, but that kind of dreamless story doesn't collect the money.

"I want the kingdom to issue a single bond."

It means that if you have the highest ranked rating: Royal Assets, you can manage to mix something a little suspicious with that and still no entity. The mechanism is subprime, no, like southern sea bubbles, no, no. Mississippi by saying near the Great River...... It's not even on the edge.

Yeah, I'm just tailoring a bond that feels a little exotic.

I only gave an overview. I have to think about the details with the Central Garden Preparatory Committee.

"… adopt, including current opinions"

The prime minister nodded and the king granted permission.

"As for the relationship between supplies, starting with the rear base, let Greenesias rule. The alliance with the Empire is for Yeverg to remain in charge. Euphilia orders an auditor on this plan"

With the full backing of the Chancellery and the cooperation of the Food Guild, we will manage to some extent. As I said, we don't need to do anything to secure our interests.

Based on the size of the business, there is no problem with how many participants. The first of these is our Central Garden, which was already preparing for the construction of a new city.

Euphilia is an auditor… it would mean that every department of the plan can be spoken out.

"Give the Great Sage all authority over research to repel the Devil Bug. I authorize you to use everything freely, including magic dormitories, in the name of the king."

Sorcery dorm, this one needs as much manpower as you can, but who manages it? I take a glimpse of Fulsey, but he doesn't seem to care much......

"Who else has an opinion?"

"Yes, as I said at the outset, the core of this strategy is how to attract demonic worms. You have to look into purple magic for research. I want permission to use the Kingdom's treasures."

I went. This is actually an important point that I can't give in.

"Treasures of the Kingdom..."

"It is the crystal of prophecy. In the worst case scenario, we'd like permission, including how to use it to destroy it."

"Do you mean to let go of the power of prophecy in this situation of decades of calamity"

Watch as the king tries me. You're right, that's why I want to put you in a situation where "I” have control over Alfina's burden.

Of course this is personal. And we have to come up with counterproposals beyond the fact that the King's words are based on the ”convenience” of the vast majority of human beings, not merely on private profit and selfishness.

"I'm sure it's uncertain about the future, but getting through the first year is more important than anything else. If left alone, it is a condition for gathering a swarm of demonic worms scattered all over the place. And after the second year, you accumulate information about your first year of experience."

I looked straight at the king. Hold your frightened body against what you try to say.

In fact, as of the first year, there is a pile of elements of uncertainty. The primary item that it is important to know the nature of the adult worm of the demonic worm, that is, the identity of the enemy, is not well understood. And the development of a magic guide to counter that demonic worm, that is, not yet.

"And when it comes to reinforcing measures based on it…"

Spinning words, I feel blood draw from the tip of my hands and feet.

"Though I am slightly talented, it is what I am good at"

Hold the tremor running down my spine and I'm out of words.

"Ricardo Vinder is newly appointed assistant auditor and director of the Royal Institute of Magic, with the status of deputy ambassador of the Kingdom intact"

Every single one of them carries a huge risk on their shoulders in the form of titles they don't even want. Well, I have to take this risk. For what I want, it's natural for me to struggle.

◇ ◇

"Not this time again."

At the end of the meeting I went out into the hallway. Euphiria told me. By the way, Fulsey was summoned by Grinnicias to come here with my report. Or that dossier, didn't they tell you to burn it down as soon as the meeting was over?

"Ricardo always causes extraordinary things. I thought so last time and last time, but I thought there would be no more boulders..., was it a wish?"

"No, no, because I didn't do anything. Strongly, that's how this world works."

"If you look over thousands of years, look ahead to the dismantling mechanism..."

"Because I can't see any more. I couldn't help myself in the first place. More importantly, what did His Royal Highness Prince Wang's letter say? I think His Majesty would have liked to have done it."

I had my doubts about Euphoria. This is a conversation to get to the point.

"Let me see your concubine, too.... Well, it's predictable to a certain extent."

"When it comes to predictions,"

"The next king will stay out of the country at his peril. The most important contact matters will be decided. …… than that, I wonder if there's anything else I'd like to ask you"

Is it broken?

"What is new information from crystals"

I struggled to keep my voice down and said. Euphiria covers her mouth with a feather fan in her hand, which explains the last half moon.

"Alfina is back in the diocese!?

I screamed unexpectedly. I'm supposed to have Alfina move in a way that doesn't use crystals. Calling it a pilgrimage, the scope of the investigation was broad, it should have taken quite some time.

"Why!"

"Relax."

Euphiria lurked her voice a little.

"In the end, Luitzer's investigation determined that there was no danger as they had said. And now there's always Luitzer or Claudia on the side, between the crystals. I'll stop it if I'm going to be able to do anything at all. In fact, nothing like falling this past six months has happened."

"So..."

"Alfie returns from the diocese today. We should talk at the mansion."

"Well, that's true..."

I was frightened when I remembered my quarrel with Alfina before I left the country.

"What, this previous declaration to the concubine. The last to His Majesty today. I'll do anything with that temper."

Euphilia laughed. How to sink a girl's anger is too heavy a story.

I don't know what to do with me in a communal disorder... No, if you think about it, mine is the one that's getting a little angry. Why are you trying so hard to keep Alfina off the crystal from yourself......
