Chapter 212. Let’s make a boat… a very big boat (4) Unless it’s a really wrong problem, we gather the majority of people and first strongly appeal to justification that this is right.
And if you want to come out with an atmosphere of empathy.
At that time, you sneakily say that it is okay to oppose it.
Even if people are dissatisfied with human psychology, when asked like this, they usually cannot honestly object.
“And what I said was honestly right, right?”
Reduce sacrifices and develop and introduce more right and comfortable technologies.
Title is my unconditional justice.
But would you object on the spot?
“Even if they did guarantee it, they probably wouldn’t have the guts to dare to object to me.”
Classes are bullies here.
Even if they respect you, there are few guys who have the knack to be honest about it.
Perhaps Houtil was even prepared to die today.
“As expected, it is Arel-nim. But wouldn’t there be any problems if you didn’t have to do this?”
Dia, who had been quiet, lifted me up and asked me such a question.
As per Dia’s question, I could have just pushed everything down to the ranks.
Rather, it is convenient.
“There is no reason. Even if it’s a little annoying for me, it’s because stepping out like this is the best way to get them to sincerely follow my will in the end.”
Although I can’t deny that there is a feeling of being forced to work.
That doesn’t mean I’m ignoring them.
“When you said you respect and appreciate their sailing skills, you meant it.”
No matter how good the equipment is, no matter how good the ship is.
It is meaningless if a human being is incompetent to it.
In that respect, I was giving away the careers of those sailors.
Of course, I didn’t have to step out.
Originally, Uncle Lichen could have stepped up.
In fact, he even objected to my saying that I was going.
Still, I couldn’t break my stubbornness.
“I wanted to show the awareness that the prince is expecting this much.”
On top of that, I am putting my hopes into the future trade.
Yeah, I’m really looking forward to it.
If the ship is completed, trade will become easier, and goods from across the continent will be able to be brought in quickly.
If so, you may find it sooner or later.
yes i mean that
‘If my prediction is correct, the fruit of the kola tree is definitely there.’ I haven’t given up on Coke yet.
Obviously, according to the calculations, the raw material becomes the core.
The kola tree will be across the sea.
That’s why I wanted a ship and a business that could go in and out of the port.
And put it in your hand and spread the meaning.
This is my expectation and big picture for future trade.
i have a dream
There are definitely fruits to be found.
And it is certain that my efforts today will fulfill this deep meaning.
I believed so strongly.
The three escorts looked at me as I was sadly lost in thought, but I had no intention of clearing up their misunderstanding.
While Aken outlines the craft to the crew.
I decided to wait while passing the appropriate amount of time.
‘I could go back alone, but that’s also disrespectful.’
Most of all, wouldn’t it be pitiful if everyone except Aken left?
I’m just bored of waiting.
I have nothing to do.
If it’s within their own territory, it won’t be a problem no matter what I do.
This is definitely a foreign territory.
In fact, the reason I was able to come here is because I had some political negotiations with this side beforehand.
Perhaps the other side is also worried that I will have an accident or that I will have an accident.
‘I think it would be fun to disappear suddenly for an hour or two and cause the liver to shrivel over there.’
‘Emergency event! Find Arel!’ was scheduled to be held.
What do you mean just hide?
Actually, it was meant to be.
Since it was the sea, we all tried to hang out here and there together.
But when I came here, all I could see were boats, seagulls, and a sea full of muddy water.
‘….what a waste. If this place were mine, I would have just made it so I could play properly.’
Are you going to make it mine?
I licked my lips and thought about the dreadful thoughts, then I took myself seriously.
There’s nothing I can’t do, but I’m a genius right now, but I’m playing an extremely harmless genius.
You can’t do anything that stands out.
So now I’m spending my time fishing like this.
I laid out a bench that was good for resting in a place with a moderately good view and threw a fishing rod, and I lay down halfway and looked at the scenery across the sea.
“Not bad.”
Until now, before the city was built, the sight I saw almost every day was the scenery of snow-capped mountains, so the view of the sea is not unfamiliar, but it feels a little different, perhaps because it has been a long time.
After enjoying the silence and boredom for the first time in a while, Zelsen appeared, rubbing his hands together.
“Arell-sama, are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Yes, except for the fact that you broke my mood just right, there is nothing uncomfortable about it.
Holding back what I wanted to say, I shook my head.
Apparently, the escorts are busy caring about the safety around me because this is a foreign country.
Thanks to that, the only person who inevitably chats with me is this merchant man.
….What’s the point of having to chat with a guy like this on the beach?
“sorry. Even if you try to entertain Arell, the environment…
“Don’t apologize because I understand.”
A sigh comes out of nowhere.
Normally, if you’re hosting someone special, you wouldn’t treat them so lonely, but the place is a problem.
Usually, noble people won’t come to a port full of fishy smell like this.
The reason why I came in the first place was because I forced myself to come.
At least, if Dia hadn’t opened up a barrier to prevent various odors from entering, I would have wanted to go back as soon as possible.
“Even so… I would feel so ashamed if it became known that I treated a noble person like Arel like this.”
How are you?
Well, at least the royal family came.
Seeing him spend his time fishing like this doesn’t make him feel at ease.
“So don’t worry. Well…
I’m thinking of staying here anyway and then getting full-fledged hospitality somewhere else.”
“Any other place…?”
His face went pale.
It seems that he is worried that I will go to another store with dissatisfaction.
“It is not another business meeting. Did you really think that I would just finish my business here and go home right away?”
“Ah, did you mean that?”
His complexion softened as he understood what I was saying.
After all, it’s snobbish.
As I was about to lie down again with a wry smile, the fishing rod was pulled tight.
When I pulled it up, I saw a really normal little fish flapping around.
“I thought I would catch even a marine monster, but it’s boring.”
“Arel-sama also joked like that…
” “…Sheesh.”
“You must be kidding, right?”
well?
I just let go of the fish I caught.
When I asked, it was an inedible paper.
“Oh, I remembered seeing the fish. Are you thinking of buying some to eat when you get back?”
After all, fishing is a waste of time.
You have to buy the real thing at the market.
I came all the way to this place.
Then wouldn’t it be a good idea to buy a fish that tastes good?
“Then I’ll arrange things in advance.”
Saying so, he asks me what kind of fish I want.
“Shall we send a cook too?”
It’s very delicate to ask such a point.
Because no one eats fish in Ernesia Kingdom.
At best, freshwater fish also smell bad, so nobles don’t eat them.
Even if it is imported from abroad, it is common for it to be unfamiliar and not to mention it.
Therefore, I am asking as I am now, thinking that there will be no cook to cook even if I buy the fish.
“it’s okay. Just write down the recipes that are trending here and send them along. I will take care of the cooking for you.”
“Yes, I understand.”
He responds and immediately calls the merchant, who appears to be his secretary, and instructs him to do what I said.
After that, while spending time catching and releasing a few more fish, Aken returned to see if the explanation was over.
“…What are you doing?”
“Don’t you see? don’t fish There must be aesthetics and truth in this kind of fishing.”
“Oh, is that so?”
what truth is there?
I don’t know either. It’s just pretending to be there.
“Your hobby is also eccentric.”
Arken didn’t blink an eye, probably getting used to my eccentricities.
“So did the story end well?”
“First of all, I made the sailors and those who manage the ship understand. I will have no more complaints.”
I don’t know if I was convinced by the explanation or if I was convinced by my muscles.
As long as the results are good, no problem.
“okay? great job.”
It would be certain if Aken said this.
I nodded and congratulated him for his hard work.
“Heung, it was a compliment.”
“No, this is a compliment for the hard work we will do in the future. You dwarves will suffer quite a bit.”
“Right.”
Aken meekly agreed.
In addition to the artisans sent by us for the time being to build this ship, a number of dwarves will help with the work at the iron workshop located in the capital.
That much means that the construction of this ship is a major project.
“However, it is not necessary to say that it is hard work.”
“hmm? what do you mean?”
“Other guys are showing enough interest in the construction of this ship. Rather, I had a hard time stopping everyone from coming.”
If that’s the case, cancel the words of good work!
Are you sure that this engine and the design of the ship are coveted by the Dwarves?
At the very least, it seems that the enthusiasm of the work will be properly displayed, so there will be no worries.
“Are you really okay with that?”
“huh? What’s the problem?”
I wondered what else this dwarf was talking about.
“I don’t know much about human politics. Is it not the general idea that a ship of that size is unlikely to be easily built in a place like this?”
“Aha, was that what you meant?”
The boats that will be built under my direction are not ordinary boats.
The engine is mounted, and the body itself is also intended to be reinforced with steel plates rather than wood.
Truly a ship of steel.
Because you said you would operate this in a foreign port, not in your own country.
Naturally, he seemed to think that there would be conflicting political interests.
“It’s not like there aren’t any concerns at all.”
Aken’s concerns are correct.
There really was a story like that.
“But isn’t it my job to solve that?”
So what is it?
Did you think you could stop my desire just because of that one interest?
It’s funny.
Really funny.
“Arken, I’m going to solve that problem from now on, even if you don’t worry.”
Yes, no one can stop my desire for kola trees.
Even if God comes down.
After finishing our business at the port, we didn’t go back to Fahilia right away, but headed somewhere else.
At least I go home tomorrow after the sun rises.
The place we are heading to is the castle where the lord of Gernil is staying.
In common sense, when you visit another country’s territory, isn’t it the basic duty to meet the person in charge of that country?
I, who usually act as I please, respect and abide by these principles.
Above all, there is no reason to decline this position.
Because usually, if you visit like this, there is no way you will be treated carelessly unless it is someone you really dislike.
“Hahahahaha, it is an honor to be able to meet the famous Arell Ernesia.”
Loud laughter echoed through the hall.
The man in his late 30s smiling while holding a glass that was already half-empty is the lord of Gerniel.
Viscount Gernil Peckernia, the owner of this port city.
