Chapter 414. The End of the Dark Church (5) Peace and Proposal (1) Anyway, this is the end.
There are still some follow-up and various procedures, but with this, we can officially announce that it is over.
The kings of each kingdom swept their hearts out with this conclusion.
Of course, it wasn’t just reassuring.
After the meeting using the communication port, the kings of each country held another secret meeting, except for the Kingdom of Ernesia.
to discuss the following issues:
However, Ernesia Kingdom is a topic that should not be known.
“…Then how do you think we can end Allel Ernesia’s request with minimal cost?”
They started having snobbish talks again.
If Arel is looking at this spot.
He might have been dumbfounded, saying, ‘It’s only natural that the woman felt bad for her descendants now.’
And also, it is something that may have suffocated, saying that it is the way the world goes.
In this way, the scenery of the world was being restored to its original state as usual.
Peace and Proposal (1) About a month has passed since the Dark Church collapsed.
After that, extremely peaceful days continued, such as discussing the aftermath without any problems.
At first, I was somewhat wary that something additional might happen, but seeing that nothing had happened so far, I was convinced that this time was completely over, and I roughly let go.
“Perhaps, by now, the kings of other countries are thinking about whether they can somehow put their names on this achievement rather than searching for black magicians?”
I pretended to clap, saying that I could clearly imagine the scene.
How can people be so consistent and obvious?
Well, that might be a sincere attitude for a king.
“…so what you’re seeing has something to do with that?”
Pena asked, glancing at me and a pile of papers piled on the desk in the office.
It’s because I’ve been thinking about this since morning.
“If you do anything, you should get an award.”
“Year? So what is it?”
“It’s a short list of candidates to rip them off… no, what to ask for as a prize.”
Territorial interests and/or human resources or culture…. or information.
These are all the information I have scraped by mobilizing all the connections I have sowed.
Perhaps the royal castle doesn’t have as much information as this.
because? There is some information that cannot be obtained through the means of a good child.
Pena seemed a little fed up with admiration as if she had noticed that.
“?…”
Whoa?
…” Is this kind of thing
?
I must have wondered why I voluntarily sat down when I would normally have snuck into bed whining and whining.
“Were you excited about what you would receive?”
“…No, not necessarily like that. Some post-processing remains. I was dealing with that as well.”
First of all, I scratched my cheeks and made excuses.
….Still, it is true that more than half of them were thinking about this.
Thinking about what to ask of them is actually a pretty important issue.
“It was necessary this time, but it cost quite a bit.”
It’s not just the cost of moving troops.
From the unfinished parts of the mana engine blown up by the bomb, to the cost of weapons to be used only then.
To be honest, at this point in time for the subjugation of the Dark Church, our territory is spending quite a lot.
At this point, I’ve written more than I’ve gained.
In the first place, peace is expensive.
It is the most expensive product in the world.
If it was a normal war, they would pay for it by paying debts to the defeated country or taking territory.
This time, the opponent was an illegal organization without a single land.
What do you get out of dealing with beggar terrorists?
In addition, most of the stolen items are stolen items, so they cannot be disposed of with dignity.
“…well, there’s a way to rip that off, too.”
I winked at the stack of papers and smiled wickedly.
“So why shouldn’t I get it from others?”
Instead, I turned my eyes to the neighboring countries.
“You have done so much. Of course you should get an award. is not it?”
It is natural in society that there is a price to pay for making a contribution.
don’t forget Great merit comes with great rewards.
In order to express our gratitude in other countries, we plan to pay a certain amount of money accordingly.
I’ll give you what you want, so it’s also a sign of a plea to please put an end to it.
“You have to do that first, so the shape will come out.”
In addition, in order to let the public know to a certain extent that they were actually on the bandwagon of the Kingdom of Ernesia, they needed to express their appreciation for their contributions.
He wanted to leave evidence that he sneakily jumped on the bandwagon.
After all, the world is on the side of the winner.
“You wag your tail like this because you won. It’s so gross, so gross.”
“So are you going to decline?”
“no way? Why am I rejecting you?”
I will.”

“no way? Why am I rejecting you?”
If you give, you will receive.
No, you have to take more than that.
In addition, it is necessary for me, as the representative, to thoroughly and steadily tear it apart for the award to be given to the subordinates.
yeah not just for me For everyone.
“So, shouldn’t we think carefully about what we are going to offer from now on?”
“I see? So you’ve been staring at that thing since morning… Huh?
But wasn’t the one who originally thought of the prize?”
“What are you talking about?”
I pretended to tilt my head as if I was talking nonsense.
“The person receiving the award should think about it.”
Pena feels confused by the difference in common sense.
don’t forget In our house, the person who receives the award thinks.
Since when did the person who gives the prize worry about it?
“If you’re interested, would you like to see Pena? If I want something, I’ll tear it off.”
“…No, I will decline. Just looking at it makes my head explode… I don’t have the guts to do that.”
It seems to be pricked by conscience.
what happened
“By the way, I looked at the list, but there is no Kelly? Isn’t there anything you can accept?”
“Oh there? If it’s Kelly, the negotiations are already over.”
When I said this, Pena was puzzled as if she didn’t understand the meaning.
But it doesn’t seem strange otherwise.
“What is it? Negotiations made so quickly.”
It’s not that we made it quickly, but the other party just flipped the boat on its own.
They negotiate and sleep, and there is nothing to do.
Because of this incident, because of my teacher, I had to pay attention to myself quite a bit.
I can be confident that the queen will not be able to meet me in the next 50 years.
By now, that queen would be taking her anger out by tying up her teacher and beating her with her punches like a punching bag.
“so? What are you going to rip out of all these things? Have you already decided?”
“Roughly.”
I’ve been thinking about it since morning, so I came up with a rough estimate.
And all that remains is for them to meekly accept reality.
There is no problem with that.
“Let’s see…. I’ll show you that the expenses so far were actually to gain momentum for a leap forward.”
“…Yes, do your best.”
Having said that, Pena quietly backed away.
He’s probably trying to sneak around so he won’t disturb me.
“Ah, by the way, Pena, you decided not to go to the victory banquet, right? why? What’s going on?”
“. Ah… that…
Pena gave a slightly subtle smile and evaded it.
Originally, Pena was supposed to accompany me to the victory banquet held to praise her achievements, but for some reason she decided not to attend this time.
It’s honestly not a bothersome event.
There is no obligation to attend, and it doesn’t matter if I go alone.
However, the reason she did not attend was that she was not in a good condition.
“Is there something wrong with you?”
A little worried, I gently placed my palm on her forehead.
My palm is more accurate than a thermometer.
Well 37.1 degrees.
It is ambiguous to say that there is or not.
I wanted to take a closer look, but since she is a spirit sage, there was a risk that she would be intuitively caught if she used strange abilities, so I took it upon myself.
Still, I’ll use it anyway.
However, Pena blushed slightly and shook her head saying it was nothing.
Well, it’s 37.32 degrees now.
It’s also subtle.
“It’s not that bad. I just don’t feel like going. And for a slightly different reason.”
“Then should I just fall in?”
“Oh, there is no need for that, so Arel is gone. Isn’t that where everyone is waiting?”
Well how about that?
It doesn’t matter if I don’t go anyway.
It’s just a face painting event.
However, Pena evaded it by saying that it was all right.
“really?”
“Yeah, don’t worry. After all, Yeongji has a doctor, right? And Diana and others.”
Saying that, he quickly retreated.
“therefore! Don’t worry about Arel and go!
I’ll tell you the definite story later!”
“…isn’t it a big deal?”
I’d figure out what he was thinking with a little trick, but I quit.
Speaking of which, you’ve been quite busy lately because of the warlock issue.
Are you sad about it?
If that’s the case, I’ll have to make plans to go play again sometime soon.
For that reason, I’ll have to finish the troublesome work quickly.
A place to praise Ernesia’s achievements immediately opened.
The reason for preparing the place as quickly as possible was to check Arel’s intentions, but more than anything else, it was also meant to clearly inform that the wizards had been subdued.
Even if it is simply announced, the public will not be convinced.
It is necessary to set up an official position like this and inform through it.
It wasn’t that the aristocrats had a party and held events every time because they liked extravagance.
It has some meaning.
That’s why I deliberately set up a seat and invite myself to give the award.
And now the awards ceremony is in full swing.
Having an audience with Ernesia, the first king of the Ernesian Kingdom, Arell is kneeling on one knee in a manner of etiquette.
Only this time, he was silent and gave off a serious air.
Nature is known to the world as a lofty genius anyway.
Not one eye is there.
Among those watching this spectacle were several guests, including delegations from other countries.
Jeil solemnly praised Arel for his achievements.
“More than anything else, the territorial army led by Areel Ernesia and the support you willingly provided are of great help in calming the confusion caused by the black magicians this time. This is a fact acknowledged by all.”
Thanks to the solemn atmosphere, no other noises can be heard except for the first declaration.
Only Arel, who is being praised for this achievement, can answer.
Of course, what he said was according to the pre-arranged script.
“It was no big deal. I just did my best, Your Majesty. It’s too much praise.”
“Even so, you should be thanked.”
Prearranged words of humility and also words of praise are exchanged.
