In a way, it was a similar type to King Rasell.
He's not really interested in politics, and he's the type of person who's not interested if he just keeps up with the current status quo.
'Although the age difference between the two is huge,
Anyway, with these quests up, it was a great opportunity to incorporate the forest of Embay into the Elysia.
Seeing the quest reward appear as a question mark, I thought it would be worth it, and I would be able to receive enough of the cursed forest under the pretext of the reward.
"Your Highness!"
Flinch-
He flinched greatly at Jae-ho's call.
"Let me help you!"
"What, what?"
Already, the quest notification revealed his true intentions, but he was trying to ignore them.
"I know that my letter is not your true intention."
"Uh..."?
"Isn't it true that you love peace and want to promote friendship with your neighbor?"
"That... ..yes!"
Jae-ho's various titles made Sigor nod even if he didn't mean it.
"As far as I know, it was the nobles near the forest of Embay that triggered this problem."
"That's..."
"Don't worry! Leave everything to me and I'll take care of this bother!"
"Ha, but in the first place...The forest of Embay belongs to the kingdom of Sigor.I know it's true that you're occupying it.….”
Seeing him bring up the story in a quiver, he seemed to be not a complete pushover.
"Your Majesty! Do you know what lives in the forest?"
"I've heard of the devil living."
"That's right! There's actually a terrible demon living! And the elves are preventing them from getting out of the woods and causing damage to humans. It's not illegal occupation, it's necessary for the peace of the continent."
"Um... ...but the word of appeal says there are Dwaffes living there, and why are you...….”
"These are the measures I've prepared to control the demons. Dwerf is very specialized in dealing with demons. The foolish aristocrats don't see the forest, they just look at the trees.”
“…….”
How much does an incompetent king, who has been confined to a castle and enjoyed nothing but pleasure, know about the affairs of the outside world?
In the end, he had no choice but to listen to what Jae-ho was saying.
Moreover, Jaeho offered to help him, didn't he?
The nobles, on the other hand, were the rude ones who ignored them and sought them as shields only when needed.
"......if that's the case......can you really fix the nobility's boorishness?"
"Of course!"
Jae-ho's confident answer and confident expression eventually gave Sigor a nod.
"You are a very incompetent king, unlike you, Alcia!"
Leaving the capital of the Sigor Kingdom, Tina said.
"Well... ...it's a little too much."
He pushed for it, but he asked the king of another country to change the habits of his country's nobles.….
"Well, that's enough. Now that the story's over anyway, let's go back and meet the nobles."
I'm not sure if we can meet.
* * *
Returning to Otolk, Jae-ho went back to Count Romeo.
But this time again, it was blocked from the entrance.
an attitude that shows the will never to meet
I was fully expecting it.
"Well, I'm trying to talk about pulling out of the Embay Forest...... well, then I can't help it."
As soon as he was about to leave, the butler who was dealing with Jae-ho caught him.
"Khm.......... now, will you wait a moment?"
Then five minutes later, Jae-ho could sit opposite Earl Romeo in the drawing room.
"I hear you're in bad health, but I'm not sure you're okay.”
"Huh...hah...hah...Ah, if I had heard earlier that the Emperor Alsia had come, it would have come out soon."
In the past, the attitude of mocking Jae-ho as a chef was nowhere to be found.
Jaeho's level was the difference between the sky and the earth.
"Really? That's a good thing."
Count Romeo sweated cold sweat at the meaningful reply of Jae-ho.
"Well, hmm! Anyway......you're pulling the Elves out of the Embay Forest.….”
"I had a good talk with His Majesty Sigor. So I came here to warn you.”
"Come on, threats don't mean...….”
"......he said a warning.”
"Ah."
Actually, it didn't mean much differently.
"The Elves and the Elysia Plains of the Embay Forest were stationed there to protect them. After we pulled out, I was worried you'd be able to keep the place safe.”
"What? What do you mean?”
Count Romeo asked, not understanding Jae-ho's words.
"Huh? Don't you know that the demons live there?”
"......yeah?"
with a surprised look on his face
"Oh, there's a demon?"
"What? You didn't know? Even though it's a forest just around the corner?"
"Though rumors have been rife for a long time...….”
There has never been a devil out of the forest, and no one has to visit the forest because it has an ominous atmosphere.
The general response is to think that the devil is just a rumor created by the gloomy atmosphere of the forest.
The aristocrats were interested in such neglected forests because of the Dwarfs.
"Well, I see...….”
Count Romeo didn't trust Jae-ho's story that he just heard.
I just think it's just to scare you.
"Don't worry. I'm sure you can handle it!”
Having only thought of a honey jar in his grasp, he exclaimed proudly.
At the sight, Jae-ho smiled satisfactorily.
'You're heading in the direction you want.’
Rather, it would have been boring if they were scared away.
"Then I'll leave you to count on Count Romeo. I'll have to go and warn the other nobles.”
"What? Other nobles...….”
"Then let us know all the land close to the Embay Forest."
"Oh! Well, I guess so! Then leave it to me."
"Hmm? It's all right. We can stop by on our way back anyway."
"Haha! Can't you make him suffer?"
As things seem to be going well, Count Romeo started to talk to Jae-ho in a friendly manner.
"You'll have to cross the desert, so go back and rest right away!"
"Well, they all looked close to each other at the last festival. Give him a good message."
"Of course!"
But Count Romeo's innermost thoughts were completely different.
It's a chance to hog it, and I can't miss it.’
Jae-ho was able to tell through the blindfold, but he was fooled.
"I beg you, then. If we don't control the Embay forest properly, the continent could be in danger...….”
Whoo-hoo, I got it.’
"Keu...... that's What a devil."
"Hmm?"
"Huh?"
Count Lumio's face turned pale, with his innermost heart sticking out unconsciously.
"Well, I think I've heard hallucinations.”
"Well, is that so? 'I'll treat you to some good food later!'
The meeting between the two ended with the thoroughness of not saying "now" even if they die.
* * *
All preparations are now complete.
Jae-ho returned to the forest of Embay and gathered the demons, elves, and even the Dwerfs in one place.
"There's something important you need to do.”
"Okay!"
Elves answering without asking.
"Ha......."
Demons sighing first.
"I guess I'll hear it for now."
And even the dwaffes that have the most normal reaction.
"Well, it's not much of a deal. Once the elves are going to pull out with me to the flower garden."
"Okay!"
"Huh?"
The elves answered Jae-ho's unexpected remarks without hesitation.
It's the demons who are surprised.
"What's going on all of a sudden?”
"Are you crazy? Argh!"
The demons, who spat out their nonsense, were immediately caught in the hands of the elf and taken away somewhere.
"......well, anyway. This is a temporary measure. And after we leave, the demons plunder against the territories near the Mbei Forest."
“?!!!!”
"Huck!"
The demons' eyes were glaring at the shocking instructions.
"What's wrong? Isn't that your specialty anyway?"
"Well, that's true, but......what are you thinking? I can't believe you want me to attack humans all of course.….”
"No, humans shouldn't attack."
“……?”
What a contradictory nonsense to say that humans should not attack while ordering looting?
"Exactly, I'm telling you to pretend to be looting. You shouldn't just plead you're the scariest beings you can be and kill or steal."
"Well, that's not a piece of shit...... Aargh!!"
The devil who was taken away again this time.
"This is all for you."
Jae-ho said strictly.
What will happen if the devils are determined to go wild?
If the problem grew to the whole continent, a massive demon sweep might occur.
Then not only did the demons here annihilate themselves, but they could also lose the Embay Forest blacksmith's own constant effort.
"So do well. You want to go to hell with Sikud?”
"Ugh..."
"That's..."
a queer threat that does not fit to be used by demons
"It's inevitable for you to live in peace in the forests of Embay."
"Um..."
Demons still in thought.
But then I thought of it.
You're not going to say that you're in a good life right now, are you?’
'When you get a chance, don't you just run away quickly to another place?'
However, Jae-ho did not mean that he did not consider the possibility of devils thinking like that.
"And I'm going to ask the Dwarfs to...….”
Jae-ho took out the handcuffs that Drelier had made for him before.
If you force yourself to release it, you attack the wearer!
"I wish I could make more of this."
"Oh! That's what you're trying to stop these bastards from doing!"
"What is that?"
The demons checked the handcuffs in Jae-ho with anxious faces...….
"Kee-ik!!! Isn't this too much?"
"We've been working hard on what Alsia has been telling us to do!!”
"This is a violation of the spell!!”
Of course they protested fiercely.
"Loud! You're the devil!"
"......Ah."
The demons were discouraged by the word.
It was.
They were demons.
At least in the middle of the world, there's nothing to say about it.….
"Dear Alsia!"
Then, a group of people watching from afar raised their hands and shouted.
"Hmm?"
Everyone's eyes turned there.
"Maybe... ...the price of those demons' trust... Can't we take responsibility?"
Those who talk like that are the blacksmith players who used to build speculation fields together!
"What..."? What does that mean?"
Jae-ho asked in a perplexed voice.
"We know that demons are an unreliable species. But..."
Their hot eyes turned to the demons with drooping shoulders.
"We saw it! And I felt it! They have hot hearts just like humans!"
“???”
"We'll put on those cuffs! Instead, let the demons free their hands and feet!”
"Please! Give the Demons a chance!"
“????”
Jae-ho couldn't understand what the alternative players were doing.
I didn't understand building a dumping ground with the demons, but now you're saying you're going to take the hostage...….
"You, you guys...…!!”
"You bastards......... Haha!"
The demons wept at the blacksmith's remarks.
A friendship that has sprung up as we rolled the construction site together!
A field of true harmony was unfolding over the species.
Flap-!
"Please! Alsia!"
Demons blocking the blacksmiths who kneel and shout.
"No! We'll just do it! What we have to endure! I don't want to burden you!"
"No! This is my choice!"
said Tina, who sneaked up to Jae-ho, who was watching a scuffle between blacksmiths and demons.
"Can't we just do both together?"
