Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

As soon as we arrived at the palace, a grand banquet began.

Many of the dishes prepared by the Swevi were meat dishes.

Deer, pig, cow, goat.

There are some subtleties as to whether they can be said to be a whole-baked dish, but it was not bad because it was made with a very simple cooking method of applying salt and baking.

There weren't many vegetables, but the nuts and mushrooms were quite good.

The best thing I could eat was sausage.

Sausage is a kind of preserved food that stuffs meat into pig intestines, needless to say.

It's not that it's not on the Adernia, but its production isn't very popular.

Both the Adernians and the Christians prefer fish, vegetables and fruits over meat.

For winter food, wheat is all that is needed, so we are not very keen on preserving meat.

Recently, my growing crop has eliminated the need for extra meat preservation.

Livestock can be raised during the winter so fresh meat is always available.

There was no longer any need to pack meat in the path of dung.

In the near future, Adelnia may lose its way of producing sausages.

Germanis, on the other hand, is different from Adernia.

The soils of the Adernia Peninsula are limestone and, to be honest, not very rich, but the soils of the Germanic region are as thin as they can be.

Besides, it is colder than Adernia Peninsula.

Agricultural techniques seem to be poor, as long as they do not see large fields in the Swevi settlements.

Naturally, the production of wheat and barley is probably low.

And Germans do not eat fish.

As a result, the staple food is biased toward meat, and the technology to preserve the staple food seems to be developing.

If you make sausages, you're better than Adernians.

Say savage, savage, but what is better is better.

However, not all of the dishes were fine.

Only one fatally problematic dish, or beverage, has emerged.

... beer.

Well, I usually drink beer in Japan and the beer to drink sausage was very delicious, so I was not dissatisfied at all ...

In Adernia and Greece, barley is feed for livestock.

Naturally, beer made from livestock feed is a livestock drink.

As a punishment for disturbing military regulations, the food is made of barley bread.

The Adernians have a strong sense of abomination against barley, so that the punishment can be quite effective as a punishment.

Ron and others could not drink beer with a smile.

Nevertheless, we already knew that Germans prefer beer, and we've told everyone about it.

The Ron and others knew that they weren't terrible at all, so they gave me a bite to drink, so it didn't turn out to be harsh.

Alice and Lear who originally drank beer and had no sense of abomination because they had been drinking beer before, and Germans who originally loved beer. And in fact, four people, Rosward, who usually drank at the rear, drank a lot, and it seemed that the Swevi tribe was just recognizing it.

"Hey, where is my place?"

Alice said that while drinking too much beer and getting frightened.

The Germanic region is easy to say in a nutshell, but the Germanic region is large enough to accommodate several Adernias, and is covered with forests and wetlands.

Searching for a hometown isn't always easy.

Well, I didn't come here to find Alice's hometown.

"Do you want to go home?"

Alice shakes her head.

"No, no, they treat those guys as ridiculous things. They were sold mostly. Dad? Has been exterminated, and mom has committed suicide."

To sum up what Alice of Gudengden says, I'm sorry I never want to return.

Rather, he does not want to encounter him.

"So, shouldn't you come?"

"Well, it's the Harumashii Hashiki-I wanted to come here?

Alice then knocked herself down with her.

It looks like I'm completely drunk.

After letting Alice get drunk and laying her in her bedroom, I rejoined the banquet.

I can't just drink alcohol.

"Thank you for the souvenirs of Almus. Especially sugar and spices are all happy. ''

Adarbello sprinkled pepper on his flesh and greeted me and thanked me with good mood.

Spices such as pepper and sugar are rare items that are rarely available to Germanic people who have no special products and have limited means of obtaining foreign currency.

"Silk is also wonderful. My wife will be pleased. '

"I don't care, it's a proof of friendship."

I poured beer into Adalbello's wooden cup.

Adarbero pours it into the throat at once.

"But there was only one strange thing. What is this

Adalbello said, and took out the hemp bag.

There are many small black particles inside.

"It's the source of barley tea .... Roasted barley. If you put it in hot water, you will have a delicious drink different from beer.

In the past, we tried to spread barley tea on the Adernia Peninsula, but no matter how much we roasted, the feed for livestock was bait, so it was not popular at all.

That said, if you're a beer lover and barley-resistant Germanis, you should be fine.

At first I thought of barley tea trade with the Germans, but when calmly considered, it was just roasted wheat.

It will be obvious that the story will be lost in a year, and it will not make much money.

Then it was better to teach from the beginning and build a friendly relationship.

"Barley tea ...? How is it different from beer?

"Beer is alcohol ... it's poisonous enough to intoxicate people, so babies, children and those who are not vulnerable to alcohol can't drink it. Sometimes it's good. ''

Like the Adernia Peninsula, the water in the Germanic region is hard and not very delicious.

Having a decent drink other than beer would be a plus for the Swevy.

"So that's it. It is wonderful. I was taught something really good. Let's say thanks. "

Adalbero pours beer into my cup.

I drank it all at once.

Hmm, something good.

When it comes to diplomacy, he has always been searching for his belly with a knife in one hand.

However, I don't feel anything like that in Adarbello.

Their friendly attitude doesn't have the always-smoking atmosphere of Azul Hanno of Pofenia, nor the evilness of Merlin.

He doesn't threaten with armed forces like Xerxes, nor does he care about faces like Faldham and Gilbed.

It's not just like a certain pudding.

And I don't use sophistry like Iar does.

No, I'm not going to blame Ial separately.

There is no true friendship between countries.

I keep that in mind, and Adalvero is acting for the benefit of the clan.

But he felt like he was just trying to get along.

The next day after the banquet, I left Alice who was snarling because of the hangover, and I left Rosward as an interpreter and talked with Adarbello.

It's a politics story different from a banquet.

"It would be difficult for both sides to take military action, given the distance."

"Um. Well, but the important thing is to appeal to the Kingdom of Roselle that we are close friends. In this case, it is not very important whether there is specific cooperation. '

The Swevi territory is far from Romania.

The exchange of information on both sides will be the limit.

"Once we see the movement of the military in the Kingdom of Roselle, we will immediately notify them by falcon mail.

"But that alone is big enough. We do not know the movement of the southern Roselle army. On the other hand, Romania has no idea of the movement of the northern Roselle army. It's great to see this. "

It's a good idea to start by exchanging information with each other.

Eventually, if one of the two moves to take military action, one will check.

It is ideal to be able to take a degree of cooperation.

Now, the story gradually moves from military cooperation to talks about trade.

"We Swevi are poor. There are no good trade goods. At best, about the fur and wood of a beast. To be clear, I don't think Romalia wants anything. '

"Apart from wood, is there some demand for fur? But we have something more we want."

"What is it?

Adalvelo has embarked.

I opened the picture book lent by Nikolaos and showed it to Adalbero.

Queen Spider ... To be precise, go to the Army Spider page.

"I heard that this spider lives in Germanis. I really want this spider to stay alive. Is it possible?"

Adalbello frowned.

"It is difficult to capture a queen spider that has once built a nest. However, a single individual, egg, or young body that has not yet built a nest can be easily caught. '

So that's it. Well, it is difficult to bring the whole big thing as expected, and it may be easier for young children.

"Depending on the size and gender of the individual, the queen spider alone produces ten talents."

The first thing we need to do is research for domestication.

Alice will make it a little smoother, but you will need a certain number to aim for full breeding and crossing.

Considering that Romaria's national budget is 5,000 Taranto, this huge initial investment can be seen.

But it's a business that will definitely make a big wealth in the future.

We need this much initial investment.

"So much! ! Pumm, okay. Reach out to other tribes and deliver the spider to you. But what is this spider for?

"I'm going to take fiber."

"... We tried to do it a long time ago but failed. Well I won't stop it

Apparently, Adalvelo and others have also tried.

Later, let's listen to various things.

"Speaking of this, about a week from here, the Queen of Army Spiders was nesting. Then you may still be caught. Originally, I was going to attack and kill without increasing the number ...

"I really want to ask you"

"Do you get it. Three days later, let's depart. '

After all, Adalvelo was supportive.

As we learned later, the Swevi's financial income is likely to be around one hundred Taranto a year.

That's going to be cooperative.
