The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent (WN)

"That's it."

"Thank you"

The king of the Kingdom of Surantania sighed after he saw the office door close when the civilian who had finished reporting left the room.

The Chancellor, who was present, also had a dark look, and the office had a heavy atmosphere.

The king took a piece of paperwork placed on his desk, in his hand.

"How are things in the region the same?"

"Yes, there have been settling around Wangdu and it seems to be getting more and more complaints"

"Right."

Since the extinction of the black marsh that appeared in the western forest by Sai, the number of demons around the Wang capital had clearly decreased compared to before.

As much as before demonic springs were a problem.

There are various inconveniences, until now the information about Sei has been kept in unlimited secrecy, but the decrease in demons did not.

The success of the [Rite of the Virgin Summons] had already been discussed among the nobles, and it was inevitable from this situation that the activity of the [Virgin] became whispered.

In doing so, the nobles who had been silent until now also began to take action.

Until now, the Lords of the Region had also shown their understanding that the Knights of the Royal Palace would not be able to afford to turn their hands around the province in order to maintain security around the King's Capital.

However, due to the calming of the area around the Wang capital, we have sometimes been close to the limit of dealing with demons on our own, and we have asked the Royal Palace to send knights to our own territory.

The kings were also aware of the state of the region, so it was time to dispatch the Knights.

There is no problem there.

The problem is [Virgin].

Some of the Lords shouted loudly that their territory was the hardest, and had requested the dispatch of the [Virgin].

"Despite what I was expecting, I can't live up to all of these requests."

"As for [the Virgin] 's dispatch later, we will have to prioritize the Knights and dispatch them in order from the high ones."

"Right. Klausner is the most problematic one right now."

On the desk was a plea for the Knights from each territory and [the Virgin] to be sent.

The petition that arrived at the Royal Palace has been scrutinized once by the clerks.

What arrived under the king was a plea from a territory where there was likely to be a black marsh as well as the western forest.

It was placed at the top of the mountain from the territory of Klausner, also a region of one or two disputing herbs in the Kingdom of Surantania.

By those who scrutinize it, it is considered to be of the highest priority, and it is put on the top.

The king looked at the paperwork in his hand as he did his hand to his chin.

"The demons seem to be a problem too, but they seem to have more problems growing herbs than that."

"Was it because of the low volume of traffic to the Wang capital this quarter?"

"Seems so."

Pass the documents the king was watching to the Chancellor.

The Chancellor, who glanced through the paperwork, also exhaled heavily.

The plea from Klausner territory noted that the increase in demons was affecting the harvest of medicinal herbs as a reason to request dispatch of the Knights.

Of course, even in Klausner territory, like in other territories, they hired mercenaries to deal with demons, but they didn't seem to be able to keep up.

If Klausner territory were a normal territory, the priority would not have been higher.

However, the area is one of the premier herb producing regions, and its impact on herb harvesting has given it a higher priority.

Medicinal herbs are also one of the military supplies because they serve as a material for potions.

Klausner territory is also famous for growing herbs that cannot be grown elsewhere, while the quantity of herbs shipped is small.

Civilians also decided that Klausner territory was the highest priority because of the impact on military supplies that could not be replaced.

"Still, that's terrible. Now the market will be affected."

"We have temporarily suspended deliveries to the Royal Palace and instructed them to secure supplies to the market, possibly…"

The harvest of the medicinal herbs described in the petition was about half that of the previous year.

Harvests on Klausner territory have tended to decline in recent years, but the rate of decline this past year has been abnormal.

As a lord of a land where herbs are the main industry in the territory, I would have felt very critical.

The King and the Chancellor thought this would not force him to send a plea either.

"A demon..."

The king put his elbows on his desk and put his hands together.

Drop your gaze and think about it for a while and leak your pompous words.

What came to my mind was the swamp found in the west woods.

It is thought that the swamp that Sei had caused to be extinguished by the mysterious technique was made of anger.

There are two reasons.

The first was that demons were gushing out of the swamp.

Demons come from a certain concentration of anger or more.

It was further reported by Alberto and the others, the commanders of the Third Knights on their way to crusade with Sai, that their temper grew as they approached the swamp.

The second is that after the marshes disappeared, the demonic springs obviously decreased.

I'm not sure how long the swamp has been in the West Forest, but since it disappeared, the number of demons was clearly decreasing.

As time passes around the area where the swamp was also present, it is slowly fading, reports are rising from those who were monitoring it.

It is called a swamp because of its dark precipitation, but it may be essentially a fountain of exasperation.

Yuri, the head of the division of the Court Demon Division, had expressed such his views with the report.

Given the current state of Klausner territory as imagined from the pleadings, perhaps a similar swamp of temper has occurred in his land.

When that happens, there's only one way to solve the problem.

The king didn't seem to be the only one who thought that, and the Chancellor opened his mouth as he saw through the king's thoughts.

"[Virgin] may need to go out too."

The king nods at the words of the Chancellor.

It is not definitive, but the air wrapped around the king and the prime minister remains unchanged, despite the road that has been reached to a resolution.

In a bitter atmosphere, the King and the Chancellor discussed further what was to come.
