Felix decided to take on Isaac's favor.
With his declaration of intent, Isaac goes on to the next act.
I applied to see Elias to get various permits.
At that time, I was asking for the presence of a certain person.
"Thank you for responding to my sudden offer. There were two things I wanted your permission to do."
"It doesn't matter. It must be about Felix. I've heard what's going on, but I still wanted to hear it from my own mouth. For this one, too, just fine. But don't really care what kind of business it is."
This time Isaac had also summoned Marshal Fitzgerald and the Director of the Bureau of Materials.
Elias can see why I called Marshal Fitzgerald.
You should ask the military about them.
I'm guessing there's something I'd like to ask permission to do while I'm listening to the Marshal's advice.
- But the director of the Bureau of Tolls didn't know.
The Director of the Miyagi Bureau is the Director of the Miyagi Bureau of Miyagi, which manages mountain forests and wilderness in the Crown's direct jurisdiction.
I know Isaac is thinking of doing something, but whatever he thinks doesn't connect him to Felix.
Even if it was a separate matter, Elias had no idea what the matter was with the mountain forest or the wilderness.
That raises expectations.
"First of all, a favor about your fee bureau. I could have taken due process and applied for it, but His Majesty would have liked to hear it, so I decided to ask for it in this way."
Isaac appealed insignificantly to Elias because he couldn't talk to you directly.
I've never been near a bureaucrat before.
It took the form of a nagging for the pleasure of Elias.
"I do want to hear it. So much so that I even bothered to call Marshal Fitzgerald. I wonder how much it is."
Elias stood up and said, "Let me hear it quickly."
A bitter smile is about to come to pass, but Isaac endures.
"This matter has nothing to do with His Excellency the Marshal...... It might interest you in the future."
Show a normal grin and let the secretary apprentice put out a map.
Norman is not here today because he is studying with Morgan.
Sometimes that makes this a good practice.
The secretary apprentice was shaking his hand and bringing it even though he only gave out a map.
In front of Elias and Marshal Fitzgerald, I guess you're just nervous.
But those other than Elias don't give a "hurry up" look.
Because I know it's more impossible for someone with less experience to calm down in front of this face.
He spreads the map over the table to show, though he brings it.
Isaac points to a point in it.
"I'd like to use a hill twenty kilometers west of Wang Du."
"I don't mind... Do what?
"I want to be an experimental site for flying vehicles."
"What!
Elias made a rattling noise and tried to stand up.
He just managed to endure in the face of the king that he couldn't show himself in front of the minister.
But his eyes kept telling him to go on, making him shimmer like a child.
"Balloons may be able to create something that people can ride with, for example, canvas used for boat sails. But it's a vehicle that you have to rely on elf magic. So I wondered if I could fly without magic."
"So?"
"I've got a prototype. Perhaps you can fly in the sky for a short distance, even with people on board."
"Allow it! So, when can we ride?
Isaac's on his way to explaining, but Elias talks to me in a eating mood.
His interest seems to be attracting.
More than expected.
"Your Majesty can't ride. I can't let you ride."
"Why! Why get in!"
"Because it's dangerous."
Isaac receives the paper and begins to fold the paper plane.
"Look where you go down to the floor, not where you fly"
That's what I say, fly a paper plane.
I flew straight and landed straight on the floor.
Elias and the others, they keep looking at each other, so they shake their necks.
"This is paper. It's a light one, so I fluttered down. So what happens to planes where people can get on? At the very least, you need strength that won't break if people ride it. Seeking strength inevitably makes it heavier. What happens when it's heavy? Let's take a look at that too."
Now I ordered my servant to bring me a wooden plane.
This is the type of paper plane that I was asked to fold and make with wood carvings as they were.
very different from the glider's prototype.
Fly it, but naturally, unlike paper, when it fell to the floor, it made a dull noise.
"If light, the impact will be smaller when touching the floor, if heavy, the impact will be greater. What happens as a result? What do you think would happen if I dropped paper from the third or fourth floor of the Royal Palace?
"You just keep falling."
"You can't just fall and tear, can you?
"Unless you're hooked on a tree branch, I guess so."
"So what if it was humans who fell?
When Isaac says, "What happens when people jump off high?," the field quieted down a little.
"You're gonna die."
Elias answers.
"Though I don't want to admit it, I have to admit it," he said, reluctantly.
"Exactly. People die if they fall from high ground. You'll get hurt a lot. When flying, it should be at the same height as the second or third floor of the building. Build momentum from there and hit the ground. Do you realize that this is a very dangerous act?
"But..."
"If you put your majesty on board in dangerous conditions, they will tell you that I am trying to assassinate you by making your majesty look like an accident. If you can fly safely, I'll tell Your Majesty first, so please wait a while before the experiment goes on."
"Mmmm..."
I want to try to get on a plane, but if I do poorly, Isaac will be executed as a bad assassin for the King.
Without Isaac, you'd have a hard time when Jason took over the throne.
It's a bad place, but Elias has to put up with it, too.
"I'll tell you when it's done."
"Of course it is. I promise."
(I hate to...)
As for Isaac, I definitely wanted to avoid things like getting executed before graduation.
I knew Elias would react like this.
But there were also reasons why I still had to tell them.
"Instead of applying to your bureau, I tried to ask His Majesty directly. The area just has plains and no large forests. I heard it's also an unpopular place to hunt, so I'd like to borrow around the hills for a while too. Because I want to avoid someone seeing something in the middle of an experiment and making it first in another country."
This is what Dwarf needs to be in a good mood.
It's not funny when someone else moves you ahead.
Some may take a peek at the cosoli, but I want to keep that as low as possible.
Though an unpopular place, if we were not to issue extensive hunting permits, we would not normally simply apply for permits.
That's why he was trying to get permission from Elias.
"Hmm...... What do you say, sir?
Elias asks for an opinion.
I said "allow it" earlier, but this time I noticed that the director of the bureau was looking at me.
Think about his face when he's called in, and you have to give him a turn.
That's why I asked for your opinion this time.
"Although not strictly, it is possible at this stage to make the plain about five kilometres around the designated hill a restricted area. When evicting residents living in a restricted area, blocking streets, etc., it will be necessary to coordinate with all relevant locations, so please allow time."
"I'm not looking that far. If you can fly through the sky, you'll see it from afar, and if you can't see the fine workmanship, that's fine. Permission to use the hill is also requested, along with permission to build the necessary facilities, etc. Because it is enough to restore it to its original state. The deadline is about six months."
"That's a natural demand if you need it. It's okay. That's about it. You can rule within my authority."
Warehouses and other construction permits were also granted lightly.
"Maybe...... Wasn't it enough of a problem to require His Majesty's ruling?
It was so easy, Isaac asks about Elias' need.
"Is what you use to fly in the sky for friendship with Dwarves? Then I would have checked with Lord Wellrod once just in case before giving him permission. No reason to dismiss the application"
"Oh, yeah... It's before hunting season, so I thought it was something they'd say no to. Before you rely on Your Majesty, you should have tried applying first. Sorry, sir."
"Never mind. I have never heard of rumors that Lord Enfield was gone hunting. It's my first time, so I don't know how far I can go to get permission."
"You shouldn't have sidelined that if you asked His Majesty to talk with you, you'd talk fast. You should have asked the experts first."
Isaac laughs lightly to delude the mistake.
But the director of your bureau didn't think it was a mistake.
If you were to ask Elias, you didn't even have to call yourself.
When Isaac negotiated with the dragon,
"I want you to appreciate more of the civilians who work hard every day to keep things from going wrong"
- He said something about the content.
I'm sure the director of your bureau had received Isaac's words and actions favourably when he made an appeal in front of Elias that "those entrusted with specialties know things they don't know".
"What else can I do for you?
"No, I just wanted permission, so I don't have any more"
"Then we'll get in touch with all the places involved quickly and make the ruling hasty. I'll be able to let you know in a few days."
"Regards"
He left.
- Isaac has two things to do.
The other should be what you have to talk to Marshal Fitzgerald about.
I wouldn't be talking about just about getting permission to use the hill.
He left before he was prompted to leave because he was minding his own business.
"Now, should we ask the others to leave?
Elias said, "Do you want the Kingsguard knights and servants to leave, too?," asks Isaac.
It was something I had to ask you more than not knowing how important it was.
Isaac shakes his head to the left and right.
"It's an important story, but it's also something we want everyone to know, so there's no need to pay people. Mostly because I don't want to get into the ears of elves and dwarves."
"Ho."
Isaac is the best recipient of the Fae in the Reid kingdom.
Isaac tells stories that elves and dwarves don't want to hear.
It's not something you can relax and listen to.
Elias and Marshal Fitzgerald's eyes become sharp.
"Currently, the Marquis Wellrod family is undergoing military expansion. Will you remember why?
"Absolutely. Interaction with the Fae will resume and the Marquis Welrod family bordering the border will be ready in case (...)"
I know I need to be prepared, but I don't want them to think I'm willing to fight.
Although there are only trustworthy people on this occasion, Elias instinctively avoided the direct expression (...) because of the war.
"Was it for this reason that you didn't call Dwarf to talk about flying," Elias convinces one person.
"Exactly. Currently at the Marquis Wellrod family, preparations are under way in case. The training of soldiers is relatively simple, but it remains a difficult issue to secure commanders. It takes time to train a commander who can lead a unit."
Marshal Fitzgerald nods, yeah.
If you are a master of swords and spears, just order "continue with me" and the soldiers will follow you.
But that's only if it's about a few dozen people.
If we become more than a hundred in size, we need the power to lead our men, not just the martial arts of the individual.
This is why Tom, who was one of the Ford Four Heavens, was unable to emerge.
You can't run an organization with your arms alone.
Naturally, Marshal Fitzgerald was well aware of that.
"I came up with a solution to that. Through Mr. Felix, I thought of pulling him out of the Rockwell Kingdom."
"What!
"It is!
Elias and the others are amazed.
It's not uncommon to pull people out of other countries, but if you do it openly, you buy resentment.
Given the current state of the Rockwell kingdom, it won't be a war, but it won't be very impressive.
"Whatever it takes to pull through... Please don't. If Operation Fartil Kingdom Invasion had been successful, the martial officers who were the Lord would have had territory on fertile land. The better you are, the stronger your resentment towards Lord Enfield should be. If you were invited, I think you're the one conspiring with Lord Felix to assassinate him. It's dangerous."
Marshal Fitzgerald denied Isaac's idea.
Isaac will be able to pull it out, but I'm afraid of the rest.
We don't know what kind of plan will come.
It's not just Isaac, it's likely to cause confusion in the Reid kingdom.
This proposal was difficult for him to accept.
"It could indeed be a matter of fear for His Excellency the Marshal. But Mr. Felix will look for people with sincerity."
"Are you sure?
Asked questions, Isaac laughs niggly.
"The situation of the Wellrod Lancaster coalition forces after the liberation of Sonicroft has been heavily affected. Apparently, the Kingdom of Rockwell had no information on this side yet. Mr. Felix knows the truth and is compelled to cooperate with me."
"What do you mean?
Elias asks Marshal Fitzgerald.
He couldn't think of a reason.
I know, but it's because I couldn't remember right away.
"Indeed, some of the troops that were besieging Sonicroft should have withdrawn before they were besieged. Commander Felix."
"I see! If we had fought without retreat, we could have won without Marshal Ford. If they knew that fact, they wouldn't be able to return to the country! I see, I see. So you're in a situation where you don't want to feel sorry for yourself."
Knowing Felix's situation, Elias nodded again and again.
It is a situation that no other country can help but be rebelled against as a traitor.
If there was a massive mess going on in the Kingdom of Rockwell, it wouldn't be strange to be executed for showing off.
Felix, in particular, was once made a dedication to Isaac.
The hurdle of being sacrificed again is low.
It was also clear to Elias that he had to cooperate actively with Isaac.
"I ask him to invite commanders who have lost their positions due to the downsizing of the military. The aim was a knockout from the soldiers, the ones who had been entrusted with about a hundred troops. It is slower to emerge and easier to be fired than those from aristocracy and related parties. Loyalty to the country will also be thin compared to nobility. He is an experienced commander and has weak loyalty to the country. As much as you resent 'it's awful to take a job in this day and age' after you're fired. Of course, there will be resentment toward me, but there will be a way to deviate successfully against the Kingdom of Rockwell"
If you listen to Isaac, the Commander's pull-out seems feasible.
So Marshal Fitzgerald thinks why he was called in.
"What I've been called up for doesn't seem to be a consultation on how to make it happen. Is it a working activity for the country?
"That's right, Marshal. Talk fast."
"I was still in the military."
There is a different way of disputing the birth of a man than with a military ordinance commanding a real task force and a military junta in charge of affairs.
Military junta is like bureaucracy.
Like other bureaucrats, emphasis will be placed not only on strength but also on the ability to coordinate with the surroundings.
You're going to need the ability to read what the other person wants.
Marshal Fitzgerald has the strongest card of trust with Elias, but that didn't make him Marshal.
"The Marquis Wellrod family is carrying out military expansion. That means more military posts, albeit local aristocracy. When accepting commanders from the Kingdom of Rockwell, there will be fewer seats for the Reed Kingdoms to sit on. Marquis Wellrod is also troubled, but it is a difficult question of where and how many candidates to accept as a servant. We want you to curb your internal military grievances."
- A stranger deprives me of my position.
I was hoping it would be ours, but I should be angry that someone from another country would take my position.
I didn't make any promises, so I didn't know about it, but I need to take care of it more than I know where to buy grudges.
But it's a hassle to explain yourself.
Isaac was thinking of persuading Marshal Fitzgerald, the head of the army, to curb dissatisfaction inside the army once and for all.
"I will spare no cooperation...... It would be helpful if there was some kind of persuasive material."
"Of course there are ingredients. Pulling out the talent of the Rockwell Kingdom makes it difficult to rearm. Ten years from now, the country is back on its feet, so let's rearm it. When you think so, you will need the number of commanders according to the size of the army. You'll try to recall the people you fired once, but you can't easily call them back if you keep them in your arms at the Marquis of Wellrod house. It will take longer to rearm, so you should be able to buy some time to respond."
"So you're going to make the Rockwell Kingdom happen the same problem the Marquis Welrod family is facing today. If there's a problem, does that mean you might try to pull it out of the Marquis Welrod house... No, you're fine."
"What do you mean?
Marshal Fitzgerald is convinced by himself, so Elias asks for an explanation.
"Pulling out of the Kingdom of Rockwell are those who have lost their jobs. In contrast, when you pull out of the Marquis Welrod family, you become an active commander. It changes the meaning of speaking out to those who have lost their jobs and pulling out those who are working. Lord Enfield will retaliate."
"If you mean rearmament because the economy has recovered, it will disrupt the economy again. So we believe you will give up your rearmament."
"I see. Are you thinking about later?"
- It was not just a matter of strengthening the army of the Marquis of Wellrod, it was a hand in holding down the Kingdom of Rockwell.
It is a measure of two birds with one stone.
"Marshal. Can grievances within the military be contained if the reason is to interrupt the rearmament of the Kingdom of Rockwell?
That's why Elias wanted to make Isaac's idea come true.
It's a waste of time for Isaac to convince each and every one of us.
I think we should let the others do it.
"It seems possible. Some young people will think that war is better for them, but that's how easy it is to hold them in. You just have to be careful not to disturb Lord Enfield's thoughts. The problem is that it may leak to the Kingdom of Rockwell…"
"Don't worry about that. It would be harder for the Kingdom of Rockwell to move if the information was leaked in moderation. In terms of traction, I believe it would be more convenient to leak moderately. Of course, after we set up the pull-out."
"Persuasion will be after the pull-out has actually taken place. The timing seems to be fine."
Marshal Fitzgerald tells Elias he has no problems with Isaac's help.
Elias seemed satisfied.
"Now, move on that line."
"Yes, sir."
"Thank you"
With permission from Elias, Isaac could move without hesitation.
I could have acted as a "problem inside the Marquis Wellrod" without permission, but that would buy me unwanted rebellion.
It's cheap if things go smoothly by not skipping one process of "getting permission".
It's important to face them.
"And one more thing, I had more consultation than permission,"
"What?
"This is the case if Mr. Felix, fearful of his family, brings him to the Kingdom of Reid. I asked Lord Welrod and he told me that accepting an exile nobleman was not a problem in itself because there was a precedent. But sometimes the other person is the Count Ford family, and it's hard to judge. Marshal Ford's fame remains high today. I am worried that if we accept it in our country, we will cause trouble to His Majesty"
"Is that what you mean..."
Let's say, for example, that Isaac has exiled every Marquis Welrod family to an enemy country.
In that case, Elias desperately pulls back.
If we can't pull it off, we'll make a thorough obstruction.
Otherwise, "Isaac abandoned me," because Elias would be thought of all around him.
The fame of the Ford Count family does not remain within the Kingdom of Rockwell.
He is also a famous family whose name is heard in other countries.
Nor would the Kingdom of Rockwell have looked down on his fingers.
"... I hope the pull-out works. Let us welcome you as noblemen of the Kingdom of Reed. If it doesn't work, I'll keep it as a share of the Marquis Welrod family. Wouldn't it be better if it depended on how Felix worked?
Elias answered in a sense of common sense.
It is not good for others to favour those who have no manners, but if they have merit, they can convince their surroundings.
Besides, the fact that the Ford Counts have been relying on the Kingdom of Lead for asylum is also a factor in increasing Elias' fame.
Isaac would also be thinking of a way to silence the Kingdom of Rockwell, so there was no reason to reject him.
"Then I'll tell Mr. Felix, too, that's how it is. I'm sure you'll do a good job."
To motivate Felix, it was important for Elias to recognize these terms as well.
If protests come from the Kingdom of Rockwell, it will be better to keep Areas involved, not just Morgan, as the "problem of the Kingdom of Lead".
For that reason, he did not withdraw the Kingsguard knights or servants, but left them as witnesses.
Neither can Elias overrule his judgment more easily than he once gave permission.
I took the word, so the rest is as Isaac intended.
(Hopefully Felix will do well. Failure would compensate to some extent for being a gunpowder weapon. It's something I didn't originally think about, so if it works, I'll think about it as lucky as it is.)
It would be a shame if it failed, but you just have to think it's a shame.
If you think an undamaged bonus time had arrived, Isaac wanted to thank Garrett and the others enough.
