The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

"Grandpa. Not just Saltstadt's workshop, but we'll make a deal. It's gonna be a big profit."

Sieghardt has a rough nose and stuffs to Rudolph.

I don't watch other workshops monopolize profits with my fingers crossed.

We thought we should do business with humans.

"I have the authority to decide what size to trade…"

Rudolph looks at laundry and futon scissors and has a strange look.

I was surprised at what Sieghardt said earlier, but I couldn't be sure it was amazing because it wasn't a big deal from the eyes of the artisans.

He sat down to do business with humans.

"Well, Rudolph Workshop alone with humans..."

"Wait"

Here Isaac blocked Sieghardt's story.

"At first, I think we just need to make a deal with the city of Saltstadt"

Isaac's opinion was the exact opposite of Sieghardt.

I suddenly avoided making a massive deal.

"But don't human beings want to make a deal with us? Then you don't think the deal's even bigger at all?

"It's just my personal idea, but I don't want to make a big deal."

While Isaac insisted that it was his own personal idea and not a human token, he ran out of clarity.

"Even elves with whom we have been dating for several years cannot travel freely within the Kingdom of Lead. Nor can humans move freely through the woods inhabited by elves. We have escorts and guides with each other to avoid any problems. That's how carefully we interact. It's not for our future to blind ourselves to greed and suddenly start a massive deal. At first, you should keep it down to trading on a city by city basis. Different races mean different cultures. We need time to understand each other."

Isaac insists on prudential theory.

There are no lies in this word.

There were aspects of being cautious because I just felt like "I'm afraid I'm going to start a massive deal and get bored out".

I'm glad you're highly-rated and misunderstood on your own, but I'm over-rated and afraid, and instinctively it's an idea of protection.

Rudolph agrees with the cautious opinion.

"Sieg, the kid's right. I haven't been in a relationship for 200 years. Common sense and thinking may have changed dramatically in the meantime as well. We need time to get together. Now we should just put up with a deal with Saltstadt"

"Oh no..., can you handle it?

Sieghardt bites his lips with regret.

As someone who aspires to be a merchant, trading with humans looks like a stripped gold mine.

It's a waste to have to let that go.

It was not an easy decision to accept.

"This is not a matter of being able to move with one's emotions. If you want to have a really good relationship, you should take the time."

Rudolph speaks to his grandson in a friendly voice.

Still, Sieghardt is not convinced.

"But we're going to have a good relationship..."

"That's because the people here are coming to a friendly discussion. It's not always friendly to the person who actually responds locally. If the size of the transaction increases, there is a better chance of trouble. It's only natural that you want to minimize trouble at first. You'd know that, wouldn't you?

"... Yes"

Sieghardt doesn't understand that either.

I'm just in a hurry because my chances are right in front of me.

"So what are you going to do with this?

Looking at the laundry scissors, Sieghardt asks Isaac.

I was really concerned about the handling of products that were plain but could be sold.

"You are free to produce it. I just wanted to say, can you tell me something instead? For example, how to make iron with coal."

As for Isaac himself, he thinks, "Take it easy on me as a laundry scissor," but he was so happy in front of me.

It's a waste to let go for free.

I wonder if I can trade it for some kind of technology, and bring it up for use and exchange of coal at a no good source.

I really wanted gunpowder, but I didn't do a disappointing imitation because it was something I really wanted.

"You can't use coal! Absolutely not!

Wolfgang immediately rejected Isaac's suggestion.

The expression tells us that this is the same thought not only of him, but also of the other Dwarves.

I guess that's all important technology.

Without being forced to demand it, Isaac gave up heavily.

"Okay. So what about how to make gunpowder? We also dig salt, so you're welcome to be able to mine easily."

"You can't even have gunpowder. Gunpowder is difficult to handle. It's hard to fail to handle it and be obsessed with the fact that humans are dead and 'people are dead because of what Dwarf made'"

Now Rudolph refuses.

But Isaac couldn't make a strong demand either, just to understand why.

"Isaac, I know you want some new technology. But now it would be cruel to ask for more."

Morgan told Isaac he wanted too much.

Laundry scissors are gripped in the hand.

No matter how highly regarded Sieghardt was, no matter what his back was, he still only looked like something worthless like a wooden chop.

All I can think of is too much blow to seek new technology.

Though he also knew that "it all depends on the negotiations," it was just not conceivable that he could pull it out with something like this.

"Right......"

"Uh, sounds like a lot to worry about, but I'm gonna pay the idea fee right out of the profits. I don't make money out of silence."

"What, an idea fee?

Isaac tilts his neck at Rudolph's offer.

Rudolph accidentally tilted his neck and replied to this reaction.

"It's an easy thing to imitate, so you worry about being made on your own? So I'm trying to get something out of the deal right now. I'm fine with that. The eagles respect the first person to think of something new. While the thinker is alive, it is customary to give him 10% of the profits. Aren't you worried about that?

"Well, I did wish technology could trade... I've got new worries in my current words."

Isaac looks at Warren.

He also seems to be bothering his head with Rudolph's remarks.

"Idea fee......, that's a hard concept. Especially when it comes to paying continuously, not just once."

As Attorney General, he considered the idea of an "idea fee", which has become the norm for Dwarves, difficult for humans.

The concept of intellectual property rights (...) is not yet in this world.

The distiller will be leaking externally the way it is made from the mouth of the craftsman, but no one tries to make it.

That's because the Marquis Wellrod family is under pressure around them to get a royal back shield and "don't make it".

If it had been made by civilians or foreigners, they would have imitated it and made similar items with dignity.

The problem here is that something similar to what Dwarf made might be made.

The Dwarf side seems to be aware of intellectual property rights.

One of the human beings would buy an unhappiness if he made something of Dwarf on his own.

Of course, the hurdle height was "if I had the technical skills to make it," but it is an issue that needs to be taken into account.

"I'm glad you're getting an idea fee, but there's going to be a problem that needs to be solved before that happens. I'll leave that to the legal experts. You're free to make wheelbarrows and springs."

Isaac threw the most difficult task round Warren subtly.

In the first place, it's not a bad thing because he's come this far for it, too.

Instead, he'd be happy to make it.

"Right. In the meantime, I'll make a deal with Saltstadt to see how things go. Do you mind if we discuss what we need to do for that?

"This is also as a first step in friendship, and I think that's enough"

Morgan endorses Rudolph's proposal.

"Is that okay with Lord Wallick?

"Yeah, I don't mind. The volume of the transaction needs to be consulted. Because they might want cities around Saltstadt, too."

Quentin also endorses.

He didn't even think about suddenly selling it all over Dwarf.

If you do that, the Dwarf miner will lose his job this time.

I'm about to buy a grudge I don't need.

In the meantime, if I could have hope for the future, I would have done better.

Let's continue on the assumption that we have a friendly relationship.

First of all, "building friendly relations" was the most important thing in this negotiation.

But that was solved thanks to Isaac's unknown things.

I didn't have to be hostile, so I could afford Morgan to try to negotiate.

----------

The negotiations themselves proceeded very well.

Isaac or Warren worried about the idea fee.

You don't have to worry about that at first, because it means trading in dishes and condiments.

This will be a problem one day as we deepen our interaction, so this meant taking the time to discuss a solution.

It basically became a deal between Alster and Saltstadt, where he laid the streets with the help of an elf in the wilderness that stretched between the mountains of salt and the woods.

We also talked about whether to create an exchange at the midpoint, but the groundwater near the wilderness has salt melting out and is not suitable for drinking water.

It's better than going wild, so I just kept it to make accommodations for anyone to stay in.

And the biggest one is about extraterritoriality.

Unlike when he was an elf, he did not recognise extraterritorial jurisdiction over his Dwarf opponents.

"If something goes wrong in Alster, human law. If something goes wrong in Saltstadt, Dwarf's law will judge it".

At first, humans go to Saltstadt to trade, but when they get used to it to some extent, they start asking Alster to come to Dwarf.

Of course, it was also decided that no explicit culture had been adopted, but that the judgment would take into account the differences between the cultures of each other and the differences in law.

Unlike elves, it's a big deal that I didn't get a knee kick in the royal palace this time.

Thanks to you, I didn't have to give Dwarf more consideration than he needed.

The iron deal also gave me a fat buy, "Bring me as much as you have left over," he said.

Quentin was also delighted with this and had a full grin.

If the inventory were bulky at once, the residents would do their best to sell it again.

Naturally, the Marquis Wellrod family also has a benefit.

Purchase iron from Wallick Marquis territory and carry it all the way to Saltstadt.

And I come back from Saltstadt buying the product.

Because the Gray Chamber of Commerce will take this into its own hands.

Merchants trying to buy goods from the Grey Chamber of Commerce also gather in the Marquis of Wellrod.

Naturally, tax revenues should have increased significantly as well.

Everything is going well.

That's what I thought......

The next morning, the adults were experiencing intense headaches.

"Then I look forward to signing it"

"Up...... I look forward to seeing you again later."

We were gathered to see Rudolph and the others off, but Morgan and the others were hangover and fluttering.

He drank mostly normal wine, etc., but it was up to the early pace of the Dwarves and he drank too much.

This is the same for the elves, and Aloise is about to throw up.

As drunk as Mathias, the old man, is still asleep.

The Rudolphs are weirder trying to get home to Neuizen with a cheerful face.

Shortly before the Dwarves left, Sieghardt came to Isaac at the break up.

Isaac, you're coming to the signing ceremony.

"Of course. I just wanted to say, if His Majesty the King or Grandpa would forgive me, though."

"You'll forgive me. On the contrary, I think they'll definitely tell you to attend."

Sieghardt laughs.

Isaac also had a loving laugh, but became a little scared that he seemed to see through to human side circumstances.

"I feel like I'm going to have a long relationship with you"

Sieghardt offers a single dagger.

"Knife?"

"Yeah, before I decided to be a merchant. This is the last knife I made as an artisan apprentice. Will you take it?"

"I can't take such an important knife!

I can't accept a knife that seems so thoughtful.

Isaac says no, but Sieghardt handed it to him to push.

"This is also my first apology for being rude. Don't hesitate to take it."

"... okay, I'll take care of it. Thanks."

I can't refuse to be told so far.

Besides, it is also the first step in friendship with Dwarf.

If you think about the future, you should get along.

Isaac thankfully decided to take it.

"Bye. I look forward to seeing something new again during the signing ceremony."

"What, hey!

Isaac tries to stop Sieghardt, but he's just gone.

(Yabe, you shouldn't have taken it!

Isaac was in the mood as if he had also been the victim of fraud.

Because of that, I felt like the knife in my hand had increased the weight with the zucili.
