Chapter 535. Dragons are coming (4) + work, dragons (1)
“I heard the situation. Apparently, you seem to be thinking about what answer to give to those precious guests?”
“What do you think?”
“Isn’t His Majesty already willing to accept it?”
I sneakily added a statement supporting his opinion before he spoke first.
Anyway, the answer is already out there.
“… … Right. Is it the same conclusion?”
“It is the same conclusion.”
This is the conclusion I came to after sharing opinions all night long ago.
And from the standpoint of the kingdom, there was no reason to ruthlessly reject those dragons.
There’s no reason for that.
Even on the benefit side, joining hands is much more constructive now.
I just waited for me to toss it moderately because the cowardly nobles would froth at their mouths.
‘Even if it goes wrong or not, I’d like to drive it with the feeling that it happened because I said that.’
Since I have nothing to take responsibility for, I willingly went out.
It’s a very cumbersome procedure.
But sure enough, some nobles began to voice their anxiety.
“To make a deal with them… … Anyway, isn’t it premature?”
“I can’t just blame them for being cowards.
Their opinion is a common sense answer.
It’s natural to hesitate.
“… … Cooperate first. Wouldn’t it be best to set a policy later?”
I gave them a compromise.
“It will be hard to impress them if you refuse. In that case, wouldn’t it be better to lead it in the best course possible?”
“but… …
“If the worst is going to happen, we will come to that conclusion no matter what.”
Let’s say this far, I won’t argue until the end.
I guess so.
If a dragon wants a dispute with human society, it does not have to be enmity now, but one day it will.
One day you will fight the opponent you will fight.
It is a conclusion that even a child knows.
However, isn’t it the law to live wisely to try to avoid it as much as possible?
‘… … There’s nothing like that in the first place.’
At least it has the prefix ‘as long as I exist on this earth’.
there will be no fighting
“If you’re still anxious, I’ll take responsibility for it in case of an emergency.”
There won’t be anything to be held accountable for.
Having said it so strongly, their faces become at ease for now.
They are also very dizzy.
“… … I don’t intend to go that far to leave it to Lord Arell.”
“Certainly, as the two of you said, that side will be as safe as possible.”
“Then we should talk more. But who is it?”
They stare at each other and remain silent.
The bottom line is that I don’t want to talk to the dragon directly.
Anyway… … .
“Let me go. After studying dragons, I know how to please them.”
I mean physically. back.
It was me who pretended to clench my fist and blow steam into my heart.
Not everyone is against it.
I guess I was thinking of leaving this to me anyway.
“I will discuss with you.”
My older brother does not object and intervenes.
So don’t look for me when you’re in trouble.
I sighed.
I came with this in mind anyway.
I want everyone to know that it’s a little ‘courage’.
Anyway, the opponents are the races with special traits, so I don’t know what they want to be afraid of.
Rather, they seem cuter than dogs or cats, perhaps because they have become attached to them recently.
is that just me?
next day.
A dinner party with dragons.
Afterwards, there was a meeting to draw out simple agreements for detailed exchanges.
Yes, that’s what you need in moderation.
And since it was a place to discuss what to do in the future, it ended without anything interesting to say.
I didn’t even have to do any physical flirting.
I’m a little sorry.
“… … The conclusion so far is ideal.”
I just respond calmly.
There’s no reason to joke.
For me, it’s just a place to recite things that have already been decided.
“If the conditions above are the same, the Kingdom of Ernesia welcomes exchanges. Any disagreement?”
“doesn’t exist.”
The dragon side doesn’t mumble otherwise and listens and passes it on obediently.
that green dragon. Was it Celtran?
He was trying to remain as nonchalant as possible.
Well, he was also warned me not to talk nonsense and not to make mistakes.
You won’t have the guts to talk nonsense in front of me.
It’s not that I’m putting any unfair conditions there.
fair conditions anyway. Promoted fair exchange.
There’s no reason to be dissatisfied.
Anyway, I took all the good things in advance.
That’s why I smiled leisurely the whole time, and the green dragon looked at me like it was uncomfortable.
And the older brother who doesn’t know anything just reveals his good intentions to them with a friendly face.
“The Kingdom of Ernesia hopes for a good relationship with you in the future.”
“… … It is the same.”
If you talk nonsense, will you make it into a grilled lizard?
While trying to avoid that kind of earnest look, the green dragon calmly reciprocates the best brother’s favor.
Thereafter, after going through several additional discussions, the process of signing a formal treaty will continue, but if it continues as it is, it will be done without any problems.
*
After the envoys of dragons go back.
I went back to Fahilia right away without any regrets.
This one time is the end of giving anyway.
After that, the oldest brother and the nobles will take care of it.
What I’m going to do on the outside is now the end of this contact.
“… … I heard the rumors.”
The person I am currently in contact with.
Marquis Carret listened to the story without much panic.
Because he had already heard about this to some extent in advance.
“So, as you said last time, will you be investing in the city of dragons?”
“Perhaps it will be like that if nothing special happens?”
Currently, dragons lack a reliable currency to trade with other countries.
That’s why, first of all, you should make a deal with Ernesia Kingdom and suck up the basic funds through it.
Of course, since a lot of gold coins flowed in, Marquis Carret, who oversaw the issuance of the currency, should also be aware of this fact.
“If you have an idea, I won’t stop you from investing in it personally, Marquis.”
In some cases, there may be cases where the kingdom directly invests in them.
I casually mentioned the possibility.
It tells you that it would be good to invest personally.
“… … Let’s consider it.”
well it’s still too early
It’s a story about when a treaty was signed in earnest and a deal was established.
Considering the value of dragons, he would know that it would not be a bad idea to establish connections with them first.
“But. I am worried about whether other countries will be able to negotiate with them.”
“… … hmm.”
Marquis Karet’s concerns made me think about what to say.
First of all, I can’t say for sure this or that.
Because now I am not meditating even to other countries.
“Doesn’t Arel know too?
What their field of view is.”
“Well, there are no cases where things go normally.”
I know what his concerns are.
“From what I can see, at least um… … I wonder if some two or three countries will reveal the reservation and the rest will accept it.
At least you won’t say no?”
“Surely that would be common.”
I don’t think they have the guts and strength to brute force against a dragon.
Still, it is a family with that in mind, since there will be national power to express its intention to the degree of reservation.
“Anyway, they put off the conclusion for a long time… … hmm’?”
“Why are you doing that, Mr. Arell?”
“No, just now, a servant brought a letter… … Well, it seems like it’s too scary to say, and conclusions have been made in other countries as well.”
Marquis Carret deliberately did not answer.
You should know that this letter is not from the normal route.
Anyway, it’s because it’s too fast to get the news.
As he guessed, this is a report from my personal information route.
“where? Shall we see how much you agree?”
Without thinking, I opened the envelope and skimmed through the contents.
Let’s get rid of all the details and summarize.
[Answers regarding exchanges with dragons are withheld from all countries except for Ernesia Kingdom, Merman Empire, and Celia. It
takes time to make a decision.]
“… … Oh, that’s how it goes.”
I noticed one conclusion from the report and raised my eyebrows.
“It seems you don’t know their value yet.”
It wasn’t surprising.
It’s unpleasant, but not surprising.
‘Well, you’ll find out soon.’
You will soon find out what your lack of discernment is.
No, we’ll show you soon.
Do the work, dragons (1)
Each country was showing a passive reaction to the exchanges with the city of Draena and the subsequent advancement of dragons into society.
It’s a dragon that has no choice but to do that.
When he’s angry, he blows his breath, and when he’s bored, he blows up his house and barn with a single flap of his wings.
A creature whose existence itself is a disaster and a mass of nuisance.
Of course, even if they came out like a gentleman now, it was not easy to believe from the point of view of humans.
So they chose to watch.
On the other hand, he ordered spies to be sent to other countries that allowed exchanges with dragons to monitor their condition.
The spies who had been dispatched to the borders of Ernesia Kingdom watched their condition day after day.
It was because the information came in that Ernesia Kingdom was hiring several dragons here as a trial.
‘You’ve got quite a bit of guts. Aren’t you thinking about things going wrong?’
And he is also a spy who came all the way here for the same purpose.
Kezels Reines.
I came here to check the dragon’s reality at the command of the leadership.
‘Even though I told them to monitor and report the dragon’s activities… …
At first, when I heard about the mission, I couldn’t believe my ears.
Watch the dragon?
As soon as he heard that, he inadvertently asked his lord.
‘Have I done something wrong?’
And I got scolded for not joking.
Afterwards, when I heard that the dragons had announced their existence and started to act, I was surprised to see that my eyes were turned upside down.
‘… … Anyway, the person above wants to know if interacting with dragons is really worthwhile.’
The lord who gave him this mission will also report to us based on the information he brought.
And finally, they will decide whether trading with dragons is beneficial.
In a sense, the future direction depends on one’s shoulders and eyes.
Thinking like that makes me scared.
‘… … The question is, how should I decide?’
After much thought, Kezels chose this method.
As a worker from another country, I decided to watch the dragon at the same site.
Thus began the so-called Dragon Observation Diary.
Currently, Kezels was pretending to be a worker who came from a foreign country to make money.
Wherever you go, labor is always needed.
Even in foreign countries, it is relatively easy for people from other countries to find jobs in border areas close to foreign countries.
It went smoothly until it came in like that.
And, as obtained in advance, the object to be observed was also clearly confirmed.
‘He’s coming.’
While eating breakfast and contemplating future policies, the object of observation appeared in the restaurant.
