The Grand Prince Has Run Away

Zambe came to his office.

When we returned to Kara, we entered the emergency office cleaning. It's because of the strong dust storm that hit Kara while we were away, and the dust was piled up all over the office.

Armida, who swept the floor of the reception hall on the second floor together, grumbled in a gentle tone.

“Brother, don't you think you should clean up after people? ”

I straightened my back and said,

“It's our nest. We have to clean it with our hands. ”

“You didn't spend all that money? ”

Armida stared at me, and I avoided her gaze.

“Well, there's money, there's no money, there's no money. You can make some more. ”

“No, it was almost 100,000 leafs. This money is going to cost you a year in a large territory, how can you spend it all? ”

“I wrote it because it's all useful. ”

“What use is a Magic Shot Launcher? ”

“Of course it's useful. How well did you see it work in the last war? ”

“But do you make 15,000? ”

I had the audacity to show my face.

“Just in case. ”

“Then make an essence cartridge. Why do you only build the main body of a magic grenade launcher? ”

“Even essences are expensive. ”

“But without essence, it's useless, right? ”

“We can do it later. ”

I custom-made the main body of the Enhanced Magic Shot Launcher now because it's hard to get an essence now, but it's an essence to roll down the road once you enter the Age of Doom. The essence of the Enhanced Magic Grenade launcher was cartridge-like, so you could have taken it down and put it down, but you didn't have to buy the essence now.

Besides, Kara was in the middle of a full-fledged machete business. There was already a railroad line between Kara and Merissella, and the First Pilgrimage will soon be completed. If I wiped out the essence now for no reason, I could have a big impact on the production of automatic steel horses.

Essence prices can fluctuate.

“Why buy essence later? Brother, you know that giant essence you got from killing Urubos? ”

“There's another use for it. ”

“Where are you?”

“Kara's working on a new weapon. ”

“Again?"

Armida's sister sticks out her tongue. New weapons have been pouring in Kara recently. Starting with the mace, Lauren's poison, improved magic grenade launchers, harpoons, etc. Some of them were truly remarkable enough to make great pants for a human weapons developer.

Especially the recent development of the automatic iron horse was not surprising even Armida. Although complex magic does not enter, once completed, it brings a revolution in human economics, transport, and culture. They can carry large quantities of manpower and supplies at very low prices.

“Yes.”

“Brother, do you intend to conquer the world? ”

“What am I, a kid? Dream of conquering the world. We're just preparing for the extinction of humanity. If we can't stop your friend from leaving home, shouldn't we at least stop the entire human race? ”

Armida made a beautiful face.

“Well, it's not as bad as your brother said. We can raise our concerns in Kronos. What if Kara conquers the continent? ”

“Why do you care about Kara? ”

“When Kara conquers the world, the Church of Water becomes the central doctrine of the world, right? ”

“That's right."

“It's a Valkyrie of Water, Euroa. It'll tear your mouth off, but the others will be disappointed. ”

I swung my hand.

“Tell him not to worry. Kara won't invade another country as long as I'm alive. And with a population just over three million, how do you manage to conquer the world? You look at the light a little at first, and soon the nation itself disappears. ”

“Really?"

“Yes, so rest assured. Kara doesn't go to war unless the enemy invades. ”

“Okay. That shouldn't be too bad. ”

Oh, that's why there are so many gods. Religious interests are held in high regard, so they walk a lot.

But it doesn't matter. I don't want to start the world. Otherwise, even if it collides with Kronos, it will not collide with world conquest. Or not.

“Let's get out of here. ”

Immediately, my sister and I took the dustpan and put it in the trash can in the hallway on the second floor. I straightened my back and looked around.

It was clean after I finished cleaning.

However, the office building is old, so there are gaps around the walls that may get dirty when another dust storm strikes. This gap didn't cool the magical air conditioning, so I thought I might need to repair or renovate the building soon.

He's out in the corridor.

“Master, I've finished the rest room across the street. ”

“Yes. Let's go down then. ”

I went down to the first floor office with everyone. However, a happy guest came to see me. It was Zenbe. He looked at me and looked at me face to face with a very pretty face.

“Humans. There you are. ”

“Yes, but what is Miss Zenbee doing in our office? ”

Zambe approaches me.

“I have something urgent to tell you. ”

“Don't just ask me to lend you money. I don't lend money to people I know. ”

“No!”

“Then what is it? ”

“Let's go out and talk. No one else should know. ”

“Then we should talk here. ”

Zambe glances at Armida. I used to tell her that her mouth was cheap.

“I think it's safer out there. ”

“What's wrong with you? ”

“Come out anyway. ”

Zambe took me away as she forced me to. It's weird today. Recently, it looked like I had food poisoning after I had eaten the leftovers of the packaged wagon.

She dragged me down a creepy alley and whispered in a low voice.

“Humans. You said there was a war coming. ”

“What war? War is always on me. ”

“The war between the Yosrahim Empire and our Orcs. You've been to the Empire this time, haven't you? ”

“I heard. Why? ”

“You said a million. ”

“Well, I hear you're getting ready for that. But what do you care what she does? War is common, and you're not involved in world history. ”

Zambe sighs deeply.

“Phew, that's not it. ”

“Why?”

“Not long ago, I sent a messenger from the Blue Land Tribe. ”

For a tribe of Blue Land, Zambe was an Orc force that was a chieftain. Although I was defeated by the Red Molar tribe 11 years ago and was now subordinated to Grolmog, I could not say I don't know because I am a native tribe of ashes.

“Why? They want me to join them? ”

“That's not true. ”

“There you go. ”

“But I've done a very vague request from the tribe. ”

“What?"

“I need you to arrange for me to get a Magic Shot Launcher and a Bomb Gun. ”

Magic grenade launchers and mace guns were military strategic supplies that controlled the export from the state. They can be smuggled in by the order of dozens, but large quantities cannot be obtained without permission from the government.

I froze my chin. Selling Magic Shot Launchers to Orcs is not too much for me, but I came to ask them first, so I just couldn't give it up. If you hurry, the price will go up.

“Not in the Kingdom of Calligo? You're an ally of Orcs, aren't you?”

“They say you can't afford to resist the forces of light that face the border. Besides, your weapons outperform Kara's. ”

Still, even with the same magical grenade launcher, it couldn't be the same performance. Human-designed and Valkyrie designed by Armida Nuna. Over time, of course, it will pass, but not right away.

“It must be hard, though. ”

“Why?”

“Back in the war with Robos and Kara, the Orcs were neutral, weren't they? That's why it's so awkward to volunteer. In fact, there are mutual principles in international relationships. ”

“Mutual?”

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. It's like this. I mean, when the crisis struck Kara in the past, your Orcs were silent, so we're just going to watch popcorn this time. ”

Zenbe narrows her eyes.

“You. Are you serious? I was the one who stepped up. ”

“So I'll give you the land if you want. How much do you want to land? I can't give you the whole of Jores Island, but Padilla will give you plenty of Altoran. ”

“You sure it won't work? ”

“Of course, if Jajay had asked for a personal favor, he would have done it. But there's an international relationship in the middle. This is a very fuzzy problem. ”

“Why?”

“We'll get a quote if you support us. Don't you know the Yosrahim Empire? It's the end of our relationship. Besides, the Empire has sent troops to us at no cost in the previous wars. If we give weapons to Orcs, they'll be ungrateful. Humans shouldn't do that. ”

Zambe sweeps her face. The Yosrahim Empire, however, actively helped Kara in the last war. The Dornish Kara could not help the Orcs.

“I see. I've been asking a lot of you. ”

As Zambe turned around, I grabbed him by the shoulder in haste. Oh, you're giving up so quickly. That's what I'm saying. What if I'm really convinced of that? This material is too naive to bargain with.

“But a magical grenade launcher isn't the only way. ”

“Why? You said no? ”

“Of course, it's hard for Kara. But I have one, too. I've recently upgraded it, but I really like it. It's a long range, and it includes a lot of other features. ”

Zambe is interested.

“Really?"

“Yes, this blueprint company. Instead, it's made in the Kingdom of Kaligo. I have a relationship with the Imperial side, so I don't think that's a good idea. ”

“How much?”

“Chaos Piece. One million units. ”

With a million Chaos pieces, the current wholesale price reaches 400,000 gold leafs. Previously, Evelyn had a price of 3,500 leafs, so it was 114 times higher.

But I'm not cheating. Fraud is a form of self-interest, and all my dealings are for humanity. Legally speaking, it was never a scam. It's true.

“Humans. Isn't it too expensive to be human? ”

“Orcs don't use chaos pieces anyway, right? I'm just trying to get rid of it. ”

“Not in this world, is it? ”

“Don't tell me if I don't want to. You want to sell it because it's me? They're for sale. And this is the latest version I haven't even shared with Kara's soldiers yet. He's the best. I never would have sold it if I hadn't asked for it. What kind of country sells state-of-the-art weapons to foreign countries that haven't even landed yet? I can't even dream about it.

Talking. ”

Miss Zenbee has finished her tasting.

“Tsk, got it. We'll talk about it. ”

“Speaking of which, ”

“What do you mean? ”

“I made about 15,000 tablets in advance. Tell him to talk if he needs to. This is an unknown quantity, so I can sell it to you. ”

I stared at Zenbee.

Currently, the war between the Yosrahim Empire and the Orcs was planned for next year. Meaning the urgent fire had fallen on the back of your foot, the preemptively secured Magic Grenade launcher had to come very attractively.

“How much is that? ”

“I don't know. I'll give you 200 Chaos Pieces. ”

It means 3 million units in total. But it was a very affordable price, even if it didn't have to go against humanity. It was still a bit cheaper to think of war specialties, though it still took a beating. It's a really, really honest deal this time.

“Okay. Let's talk about that, too. ”

“It's absolutely a secret. As soon as they find out, it's an immediate cancellation. So tell them to keep their mouths shut. ”

“I see.”

Soon, Zambe left. I watched the dust drift away for a moment, then hurriedly headed to the magic communication station in Kara.

* * *

In a dark, magical communications room. I sent out a wizard who needed to be involved and looked down at the magic crystal sphere on his own. Soon I remembered the face of a person on the screen. He was Duke Brendel, leader of the repair crew of the Yosrahim Empire.

The duc greeted me with a bright face.

“Mr. White Face, how did you die before? ”

“Yes. Thank you for coming. ”

“That's good. But what did you call me about? ”

I scoured the perimeter.

“Is there anyone around? ”

“Yes, I'm the only one here, specifically. But what the hell is going on? Did something bad happen to Kara? ”

“No. Not on our side, but on the Empire's side. ”

Duke Brendel raises a slight pupil.

“My empire? What the hell is going on? ”

“I've been in touch with one of our spies who's been infiltrating the Caligo Kingdom, and I think they've made a lot of weapons. I'm not sure yet, but there's nothing suspicious about pretending. ”

Duke Brendel opens his eyes.

“What kind of weapon is this? ”

“It's a magical grenade launcher, but it seems to have improved its capabilities. It's almost revolutionary. ”

“Is that so · · · · · · ·? ”

“I know. I mean, we've got about 20 meters of range ahead of us. without diminishing the power of the grenade itself. ”

If the range grows, it's quite a threat. With the same troops, the enemy will take the lead as soon as the battle begins. Especially considering the nature of the magical grenade launcher, this situation is getting worse. If you are a skilled marksman, shoot all three rounds while the enemy advances by 20 metres.

“How could that happen · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“That's not all. Essence cartridge exchanges allow continuous launch, and Mana injection allows Mana inspection and wizards to replenish consumed essences right on site. This is not a joke. ”

Duke Brendel said urgently.

“Are you sure? ”

“Yes. I don't have the blueprints yet, but I'm sure the information will be clear, and I think this weapon will be deployed in the next war. ”

“Hmm. What should I do?" ”

“Let's find out from you. We'll let you know as soon as we have the blueprints. ”

“Yes, I understand. Thank you."

“What. We're bloodthirsty kids. We should help each other. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“I'll see you then. ”

“Yes, I look forward to hearing from you.

I stopped communicating and the bear thought. I don't know how much to tear out of the Yosrahim Empire. Since we fought together in the last war, we can't blame each other, and it's no longer a concern.
