The mansion, owned by Patricia-Gilberstein, chief of the Villeocean, was busy with dignitaries from all over the country.

That's what happened again when I gathered in that big conference room.

King Eimbist, Gerhardt-Vatex-Anker.

Head of the Knights of the Kingdom of Pawnsonia, Lawrence-Di-Falcon.

Deputy Head of the Knights of the Imperial Knights of Quimbrand.

Commander of the Knight Battalion of the Temple of the Sovereign Nation of Bios.

Minister of the Army of the Union of Forestia.

And Dreammaker King Doriarch.

"First of all, I would like to thank you for having responded to my country's call. Today, I'd like to share advance information for next spring's expedition."

Patricia cut it out. Sitting next to her at the round table is Mayor Ville-Zentra. Civilians and secretaries are on the long desk behind her.

The same was true for other countries, where one or two delegates were on the round table and the aides were behind it.

"Wait a minute."

Then Gerhard raises his hand quickly.

"... why is there a silver face here?

It is Hikaru who sat securely in the chair between the walls. He looks like a silver face in a silver mask today.

Doriarch answered instead of Hikaru.

"His people are the biggest supporters (patrons) of Dreammaker Reconstruction."

"A patron, huh? Was it a mistake to come here to steal information or to scratch the spot?"

"Don't you also know that the Beastman King doesn't need to appear if he's as capable as he is?

"Hmm......"

That was true. Hikaru is purposefully showing up to show that he has "no other intention".

I didn't have to attend this meeting, but I had a case that really seemed to require a statement, so I came here.

Gerhardt speared with it, but the commander of the Temple Knight Battalion in Bios was still scowling at Hikaru.

A man with a thin face enough to be over 40, but with blue muscles running on his forehead.

(With that said, I went into the Pope's room in Bios and made a fuss)

Although it is not on a "fussy" level that the Pope's room was destroyed to show off the "blade of severance", the "holy devil's weapon".

From the Temple Knight, I guess I hate them so much that they don't kill me if I kill them because they slip through their security and do that, and even let them get away with it.

"Then why don't you explain the Grand Dream Continent to the Dreammaker?"

As Patricia turned to the water, Doriarch nodded.

It seems like a civilian, not a Doriarch, to report -- a young man gets up and starts talking. The information on the new continent is the first ear for many of the humans here, so everyone stood ear to ear and the clerk ran the pen with great momentum.

But it was a rather desperate story to ask again.

The size of the Grand Dream continent is about the same as or slightly smaller than this one. Some wilderness spreads to the south, but is otherwise covered by dense forests.

There are ups and downs, and by the way there are mountain ranges. Rugged mountain ridges persist, especially in the north.

Monsters are distributed throughout all but the southern wastelands. The strength of the monster, says the dreammaker people who fought in action on this continent, "The monsters here are so weak and easy that they are not comparable to the Grand Dream continent".

There are spots that enhance the activity of monsters called roots, which dot dense forests. The roots are likely dense enough to head north, and the legacy remains that there are supermassive monsters at the northernmost end --.

(Because talking about the evil ones and Koukimar just gets complicated. It's a good thing I simplified the problem)

Hikaru thinks as he listens.

The clerk continued the conversation.

I don't know because the people of Dreammaker don't have the aptitude for spiritual magic like it is in this world, but the use of magic doesn't seem to be a problem.

There is also the issue of food sourcing, and it is better not to eat those meats because some monsters are contaminated.

However, since the roots have high purity magic crystals called dragonstones, isn't this what this human wants--.

"Dragonstone? to what extent?"

Forestia's Army Minister reacted. A bald man with a mustache.

Then a civilian took out five samples. Provide to Bios, Forestia, Quimbrand, Pawnsonia and Einvist, respectively.

It's in a small bag. I put that out and it's got shards about my thumb in it.

"We've already given it to Villeocéans, so you can have it with you from all over the country"

"This is...!

The captain of Bios complains.

"Unbelievable. I didn't know there was so much magic in it... high-purity magic crystals are certainly possible stories... but are their roots and their dots really scattered all over the continent?"

Says the battalion captain as he tides his thinly constructed face.

"Yes, I hear the actual size is too much for both arms to hold"

"Oh my..."

"There is also a mining ground for what we call the Demon Stone, and here is what we call the Spirit Magic Stone, but even there, no demon stone can be picked as big as the roots"

Doriarch took over after the civilian who talked that far.

"In the crusade, the dragon stone of the attacked roots should be used as a reward for each country."

The interior is squeaky. She looks cool because Patricia and I were already discussing this condition.

Demon stones are small and less magical are traded from hundreds of guillans, but the big, high magic ones tend to soar with little out there.

"Wait a minute. There are only 200 people in our country. Isn't that disadvantageous?"

Gerhardt laughed with his nose as the Temple Knight Battalion captain raised his dissatisfaction.

"You think it's unfavourable? Don't make me laugh. They didn't let people out because they thought about protecting themselves."

"... With all due respect, Your Majesty the Beast King, it is in your country that we have been vigilant. Because I didn't know how much your country would be involved in this soldier--"

"Do you want to attack us while I'm gone? If you can do it, do it."

"Become!?"

"If you can. I'm not in the country, am I? It would be a great opportunity."

————

It was originally two of the dogs and monkeys. It's a clear provocation, but my face is red and the captain is teething. In contrast, Gerhardt was like "I was just teasing you a little" in the face, but he's eating an elbow punch from the side to Gotholt.

Patricia opened her mouth to sigh.

"If you want to make additional troop movements, you can join the second line. Or if they're coming by January, let's even deal with them in the first line. I don't really recommend a winter march."

"... thank you, Patricia General Leader"

The captain of Bios finally regained his peace and nodded.

Seeing one of the Temple Knights out of his room while handing him the dragonstone wrap, he must have rushed back to the Sovereign Nation of Bios and sent him to ask for the Pope's opinion.

"The more Lord Gerhard, the better."

"About what?

When Patricia takes a glimpse, Gerhardt is still an unfamiliar face, with Gotholt bowing his head deeply. It seems to be a common recognition among nations that Gotholt is already the patron of the Beast King.

"Sometimes, it means that all travel is a ship, but from what I've heard, the silver face there has a way of reducing travel time"

Lawrence has been shaking the subject.

(You were asked from an unexpected place)

I thought there would definitely be talk about how to get around, and I knew that Hikaru would be on the agenda for (...) moving the evacuees on foot about it.

So Doriarch told me, "Let me explain this to you first," and Hikaru was also present —— I didn't expect Lawrence to tell me first.

Hikaru raised his hand small.

"I'm afraid Lord Kensei knows that."

"Don't tease me. You must be the man who beat me."

In Lawrence's words —— no jokes or anything, the indoors quiet back to the words that just pale out the facts.

Around the other knight behind Lawrence with his head, he said, "That would be a promise not to say!" But do you want to say it? Indeed, it is harmless and unprofitable for the story to tell that Pawnsonian's highest armed "sword saint" has "lost to someone".

"Well... Silver Face, did you beat Kensei too?"

"Also, did His Majesty the Beast King also fight Silverface"

"... I'm not saying I fought. I'm just being silly."

He put a knife on his pillow, or he sat on his throne on his own, so that would be irresistible to be told that he was "ridiculed all the time".

Really? Lawrence looks at Hikaru with the eye that

"Er, well, if necessary?

"... it's not a good idea to fool people"

Lawrence told me the obvious.

"Leave that alone, can we get back to it? The method I used to travel with the New World can no longer be used. It's not possible to use it in the future, but I can't use it now, so it's not realistic to put it in the candidate."

"Some kind of run-of-the-mill demon prop"

"Hmmm...... close to that, but not enough energy to use either. I've finally been able to use that high-purity magic crystal 'giant dragonstone' once, and I don't have 'dragonstone' on hand anymore"

You figured it out in Hikaru's explanation, Lawrence pulled back.

I guess it would have been easier to understand if you were a person familiar with witchcraft. So much "dragon stone" over there has high magic power. That's why I have to back off if they say "I can't because I ran out of dragonstones".

From Hikaru's point of view, it is "Koo's feed" and is positioned as "a giant bomb that can be magically detonated".

"Here's the material on the roots."

Dreammaker's civilian distributes information on the roots already prepared. When everyone is looking through it,

"... one thing, I want to ask you"

Until then, he kept his mouth shut, Quimbrand's Knights Deputy raised his hand. Beautiful and sturdy with long silver hair in one behind. I thought Hikaru didn't care that you looked good in women's clothes.

"I can't believe the demons of the other continent are so strong"

"It seems so. If we can get an accurate estimate of how much it is, this winter's training could be in vain."

To the Deputy Commander of the Knights, the Army Minister of Forestia will also be in tune.

"I think I'll say that, and I'm having one demonstration today"

When Patricia glanced, Doriarch nodded.
