Hemperoza said he would donate the full amount of the contract he received from the king's government, a million goldos, to the World Tree Village (Yolabertige).

That's what the wizard and King Methanostat's government pay for when they exchange exclusive contracts.

They are paid with the meaning of "Metanostadt Embrace" for court wizards, military wizards, or wizards with special roles like mine.

Even more perks include getting a colored robe or a dignified cane.

In the case of Hemperoza, what a long and adorable name (...) was given by the King's Government: "Tree Doctor of the World Tree, Caretaker, Apprentice of Grecas the Wise, Set of Contracts".

I turned around holding Hemperoza's little shoulder and put my face closer to my ear.

Hemperoza, wait a minute.

"Hey, to what?

"A million goldos is a lot of money, and it's important money for your future. It feels great... but it's not very good for them either to give them the full amount"

"Can't you just donate? When I used to be in an orphanage, I said I got a donation from somewhere, and the rice was delicious and better."

Hemperoza lowered her eyes, bordered by long lashes, just a little. I seem to remember when I was a hard orphanage.

"But if you run out of donations, you're done. If you rely on it, you'll have to rely on it next time."

"It's like orphanage rice."

"Exactly. There is also a beautiful and wonderful donation. Orphanage dairy drinkers and young children don't make their own money. But...... the people in this village are not orphans. I'm an adult, I can work for myself, I can earn and I can generate money"

"I see...!

"Sage Grecas, how would you like to do that?

The fairy Metius floats with a hiccup in front of him, while he arms and puts on his little neck.

"This village is certainly in trouble right now. The shop, the house and the road are in the middle of rebuilding. A branch of the magic school in the corner would also be in the process of being rebuilt. So 'lend' the money to develop so you can fix it and work harder."

"Loans... What is it?

"Explain it clearly."

"Simply put, I'll have it back in a while. Some thanks. Of course, I wouldn't say right away, either a year or two away. Once you can develop a little bit and make money."

"It's not just the reconstruction of the village. It's not enough money to pioneer the world tree. By lending there, the World Tree Village is eventually given the town the dream of developing like a king's capital. It's a shame to keep a million Gordos asleep. But donations... until then. Then we can use it as living money and increase it."

"Oh, that's good!

My eyes glowed as Hemperoza was convinced. When I let go of my shoulders, I look around again at the village I'm going to finance.

"It's a donation, and it's over. But I promise to give you your money back, and that will lead you to work hard."

"Yes, and we'll get something in return for the future."

I'm called a wise man, no, as a guardian, as an adult. It is my responsibility to guide you so that you never lose or grieve while taking care of Hemperoza's pure feelings.

"Besides, the lender is no match for Sir Rembrandt, the knight, or any individual in the village. If you turn to the World Tree Development Office (Yugdpioneer), you will entrust the operation to an expert."

"I see."

To the villagers, you can also take a statement on the magic paper to avoid borrowing it and running away as is. There will be some need to threaten what happens if you run away...

I turn to Sir Rembrandt.

"Then Sir Rembrandt, I'm sorry. Actually, it wasn't a donation, it was a loan (...) mistake. How about a massive loan through the World Tree Development Office (Yugdpioneer) to contribute to reconstruction and future development?

"You're welcome! Insufficient funds...... I almost couldn't do anything about it anymore. Everyone will be delighted. Gather village chiefs and village delegations to explain how they came from me."

"Please"

Sir Rembrandt nodded loudly and smiled.

After that, we had lunch with a small welcoming party from the village.

Let everyone rest in a simple dining room for now.

I was invited to the office of the newly rebuilt village hall, where a few local staff from the King's Government's World Tree Development Office (Yugdpioneer) listened enthusiastically to Hemperoza's loan story.

They seemed to be a select elite and were in immediate contact with their country's bosses in large, long-range crystal ball communications. He also replied that he wanted to go further with the King's government through his boss.

After tomorrow, if you climb up to the Royal Castle of Metanostadt, you will have a specific lender - it will be the most efficient way to finance what, it will be for the villagers' development, and it will be a staging step to pack.

"Sage Grecas, there's one more thing I'd like you to discuss with me."

"What is it, Sir Rembrandt?"

Quickly, it has become a special magic advisor technician-like job.

"Actually, embarrassing story, there's only one waterway on the way from here to the world tree... I'm in trouble. Is there any good wisdom?

Before the story of the development of the new transport network between the world tree and Wang Du, neither the carriage nor the horse can proceed because the mud is terrible. Even if we finally get there, the area around the world tree has become a giant pond, he said.

"Among the wizards we brought were those who excelled in the magic of the earth (...) attributes. He succeeded in obscuring the underground structure of the world tree."

"Wow! Is that a magical geological survey?"

"Yes, apparently, from the results of the survey, the pond was deeply rooted in the basement of the world tree, and water overflowed the surface because it partially tore the groundwater vein… something"

"The groundwater? It wasn't just the rainy season."

"Yeah, I thought rainwater had created a pond, but there's a lot of water gushing out of the basement, so the pond water doesn't seem to disappear in the future."

In addition, there were reports that the roots of the world tree were beginning to stretch in part a structure similar to the "root of the stomach" for breathing.

I was shown the recorded footage on the crystal's memory stone (Memoria), but I could confirm that something like Takecono was sticking out of the water.

"... I see. Then the pond will no longer disappear. Travel is by waterway only. That means no land routes."

"You will fly like a wise man, or you will cross the pond by boat after travelling by waterway to the World Tree Pond"

"Shouldn't we be able to dig the waterways around and transport them freely or come and go?

"That being said, just digging this village and the old World Tree Village, roughly 900 Merte soft peat, made two Golem planes no good. We can't do that with manpower."

Therefore, may I borrow the wisdom of the wise... says Sir Rembrandt.

Gather the sights of your men and the military wizards that were gathering there.

I've been thinking about it for a while, but I was thinking of an idea of looking at this muddy land from the sky.

"... there's one thing I'd like to try. Outside now."

"What the hell is that!?

"I don't know if it's gonna work, but we might be able to work it all out."

I lifted my glasses with my fingertips, so I stood up from my seat.
