"Lake Lewis is a good place to spend the night. The moon and the stars. The wine is delicious."
"If you're in Lellis City, you can go fishing at night."
A paragraph of rebellion against me had tarnished local pride, and Lake Lewis rigging had begun.
Zilk and Ted, who usually rarely speak at meetings, also seem to enjoy themselves. I hope so.
"Mmm.... Well, gentlemen. Shall we resume the meeting?"
"... Ha"
Ill set the posture right and everyone follows it.
Yes, this is the place to consider how to get through the Lewis conference.
It was only at that preparatory stage that I was surprised or dismayed to hear the reports of the Reykhas.
"Should we still give top priority to dealing with the city of Ryushuk?
"Well, don't"
I nodded at Elizabeth's thought-provoking opinion.
I am also concerned about the Barons of Sylvas.
But in the end, there is no objection to the alliance, no matter how it falls. Then priority should still be given to dealing with Ryushuk, which is clearly launching its opposition.
"First of all, the lake thief who got in the way of me extra is a prerequisite to shut me up, is that good?
"... right"
I don't really feel like I'm being plotted. So I'm not talking about leaving it alone.
In the first place, at a time when we are letting the Alliance's largest army of warriors consume extra resources, the Great Lakes Bandit Khalid will be an anti-dark interrupter.
I want to minimize the use of my magical powers against human opponents... but this would be a good project to include in the 'minimum' range.
"Um, my you? Wouldn't you be able to trade Khalid?
"What are you doing?"
Said Elizabeth.
"We know he is harmful to the Lius Alliance. But criminals must have something called a criminal order. Isn't it dangerous to break it down instead?
"... I see"
Right now, Khalid is the cow's ear behind every Lewis Alliance city.
It's stable, for better or worse.
Simply eliminating it is likely that there will be confusion in each city. You mean.
"Khalid seems to have tight control over the lower tissues, so I thought you were right."
"You mean if you can take the top weight, the bottom moves around on its own"
There is also a guarantee of Leiha that everyone will have a sinister face.
"Nevertheless,"
Crushing the culmination of a criminal organization will eliminate the crime itself and make it peaceful. It's not the year I have the dream of, for example.
or so.
My nerves aren't thick enough to shake Khalid's hand as he looks sideways at the weak being fed.
"In principle, policing is the responsibility of the governors of each city."
"... well, sure"
"That means where security has been disturbed as a result of my defeat of Khalid, and that's the bad side of the rulers who have left Khalid and criminal organizations unattended until now, can't you say?
"... in principle, you're right."
Elizabeth nodded at me when I suddenly started talking about pre-construction.
I know she doesn't really want to get along with Khalid, either.
In my role as a diplomat, I guess I wanted to put the option of negotiation on the table to share everyone's views.
"It's realistic to miss out on the great evil for fear of confusion, and I may have no choice. But... that's not what the Great Wizard should do."
"So what do you do?
Elizabeth asks.
Fortunately, her face had a color of anticipation, not dissatisfaction.
"First, if you're going to defeat Khalid, I'll do it thoroughly. So much trauma for the bad guys in the Lewis Alliance."
"tiger...... what is it?
"I guess it means enough to have a nightmare that 'if I work evil, the Great Wizard will pig me'"
……
That would have been a drastic statement as far as I'm concerned.
Everyone took a breath.
"On top of that, if the criminal organizations in each city still work flashy evil, they also crush that organization. We will also cooperate to the best of our ability in policing each city. That's how we're going to have to get a little closer to peace"
I didn't forget what I said earlier about pre-construction.
But if you're not ready to do that after figuring it out, you shouldn't choose the option of defeating Khalid.
Well, I've asked Sedam and Physica before that the Bandit Guild in Lellis City is relatively dear.
The guilds and organizations in each city will also settle at that level would be a good goal for the moment.
"If you say so much, there's no reason to disagree."
"Yes, I will help you as much as I can"
"Leave it to me, my lord!
"So, what exactly are you going to do?
The place tightens up again to Crawler's most important question.
"Uhm.... Laiha, any good ideas?
……
"Ha, leave it to me, my family (Heikluus), who makes everything a business of plot, and my subordinate (Si)"
For a moment, everyone looked frightened.
No, even I have some ideas, don't I?
But this kind of thing should get expert opinion first.
Everyone seems to agree there.
When Reykha confidently breasts out, who has just shown off his intelligence flawlessness, they all turn to her full of anticipation.
"Executives of the Relis Bandit Guild have Khalid spies. Use it to discover the home of the lake thief. And..."
Reykha happily talks about a plot to plunge the Great Lakes thief Khalid.
It was a massive, intimate and disgusting measure that also presupposed the support of Mr. Browse, chairman of the City of Lellis' review, as well as the use of my fellow citizens, and my spell.
……
"I knew I was scared."
"As for a certain (it does), I'd like you to decide not to ask"
"What do you say, Lord?
I guess you want one of my compliments rather than the slightly pulling admiration around.
Leiha kept one knee on her knees, her purple eyes glittering and listening.
"Best"
I just have to say that.
