Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"Is this a border fortress?"

"Oh, isn't it different from Greece?"

When Almus asks Ismail, she nods.

"Yes. In Greece, all borders are fortified by stone fortresses. Wooden checkpoints in the country ...

In other words, is the fortress in our country similar to a Greek gateway?

"Why don't you harden it with stones?"

"Well, I don't have the technology. It takes math knowledge to pile up stones, and you have the skills to cut stones into the right size. Carrying them is also a lot of hard work."

However, the only wooden border is here.

The fortress here was built about two decades ago and has since been repaired but not rebuilt.

There were plans for a renovation, but shortly thereafter King Ferm deprived Ass of the territory.

King Ferm could not afford to rebuild this fortress. And Ferm had a friendly relationship with King Domorgar, so there was no need to rebuild the fortress.

That's why it was abandoned until now ... After returning to the kingdom of King Rossais, it is unavoidable that it will not be repaired.

"I think there is a problem if it is not stone."

"Yes, but I can't get a stone to be a stone here."

There is no technology to cut it out.

Even if you ask Ismail to pile up stones, you will not be able to talk without materials.

"Where can I get stone?"

"Surely the Diber territory is the country's largest stone producer"

Tetra says.

It's the Diber territory ...

What should I do. Do you want to ask?

But I don't want to negotiate with that person ...

"... It's the best production area, and it doesn't mean that it can only be taken there. I think it can be taken from the area under the direct control of King Rossais."

"What? Tell me first. Isn't it Vivitta?"

You should avoid those who don't fit thoroughly.

Involving in the halfway makes the relationship worse.

"I order the stone from King Rossais. Ismail. Can you design it?"

She asks Ismare and she nods.

"Yes, it's okay. You can design it just by playing with the guy you designed a long time ago."

"How long will it be completed?"

"Complete in about a week, including material estimates."

Ismare was full of breasts.

"What kind of design do you intend to make?"

Bluelight asked Ismare.

"Yeah, I don't mean to change it. Mr. Alums wants to finish it as soon as possible. For the time being, I'm going to reinforce my current fortress with wood, and build a stone wall around it. You can do it with technical skills, too? "

Ismare looks around at the fortress and writes down notes.

"Is that it?"

Ismair smiled bitterly, as Seimei regretted.

"I'm talking about it now. After that, we're going to rebuild it little by little, centering on the stone wall.

"That's true. I'm sorry. I heard something strange."

Blue light smiles and laughs.

"I'm going to get this job done for the time being. I'll do my best to do that. After that, there's no way I can work on it. There's a lot of waste. Become an architect with a country, and work on architecture all over the country ... "

Having said that, Ismail sighs.

"What's wrong?"

"That's the end ... The king of Rosais is a small country, so we can't build big things. I hope this country grows up ... but he's going to die, and he doesn't seem to be able." That's right. "

According to Ismare, Seimei hits her shoulder to comfort Ismare.

"Are you a technician? There is no death penalty if the country is destroyed .... I think you can play an active part in the kingdom of Domorgar, too. It was you who designed this fortress Haru: Well, if we succeeded in designing this fortress very well. "

Isao jokingly joked, Ismare knocked on her head.

"Don't say anything rare! What do you do if you get fired?"

Ismail said in an angry tone, but with a laugh.

She loves the country that hires herself, not the kingdom of Rossais, neither the Aths nor Almus.

"Yeah. But I'm motivated. It's my first job. If it succeeds, it's possible that King Rossais will come directly to me. Perhaps even from the country of King Roselle ... let's do our best!"

Ismare shouted.

As declared, Ismail completed the design in a week and showed me the necessary materials and labor.

It's true that I just say myself is excellent.

"So let me buy stones."

"I see. I don't care, because it's for national defense."

King Rossais was willing to take care of it.

"By the way, did you not ask the Regal Divell? Next to your territory, and the stones are also of good quality?"

"Please stop"

King Rossais laughs grinningly.

Bad temper.

"By the way, does the border with the Diber territory need not be solidified?"

"... I haven't yet decided to take over the throne."

When I complain, King Rossais laughs.

"Either way, you and Regal Divell will have to fight? Who will be in the way after he has succeeded the throne? Well, in that case you have to build a fort on the border with the territory It will not go away. "

"Are you going to rush me? It's not that easy."

It is very unlikely that Rigall Divell will abandon me after becoming king.

Because I am in charge of the border with King Domorgar.

The Diber territory also borders King Domorgar, but ... for topographical reasons, the fierce battlefield is my territory.

If I fall over to King Demorgar, the defense line of King Rosais's nation will be greatly reduced.

Regal Diebel will not want to cause any trouble once he becomes king.

I decided to think twice.

I'm going to sit down and worry about the deadline.

"By the way, why did you bring Ismare to me?"

The eye of King Rossais is not a knot. And King Rossais can speak Greek.

There is no reason to drive Ismare back.

"I can't design a fortress on the border with Regal Divell if I'm here, and you're better than me, who will soon die."

Certainly, if the architect of King Rosais would do that, the Rosais and Diber families would break apart completely ...

"Do you want me to inherit the throne so much?"

"I want it. I want her cute daughter to have a happy marriage. And I don't want that kid to be my son. It would be much better to have Ferm's kid as a son than to make it a son. "

Do you say so far ...

"I'll think about it and come to a conclusion."

I bowed to King Rosais and left.

When I returned to the mansion, somehow Tetra's leaders were waiting for me.

"What?-What happened?"

"A refugee has arrived. From the Diber territory."

Is it troublesome again ...

Refugees don't always take care of you at exquisite times.

"How many? What are the Dibels saying? Are you saying they can return?"

"200 people. I haven't contacted yet."

I don't think that even 200 people will disappear and not notice ...

I'll get back to you soon.

"Who knows first that refugees came?"

"Only the members and some soldiers here. The information is confidential because Ron just encountered him in the territorial forest to defeat the bear."

In other words, if you are successful, you will not know about it.

It is a felony to escape in the first place. Moreover, the success rate is low because they flee to the same country.

He ran away with that risk, so it was probably a pretty bad rule.

I don't hear any rumors about it.

Well for the time being ...

"Call a refugee representative. I want to talk."

"Are you a refugee representative?"

"Yes. That's right. Could you please accept us?"

"First, tell us what kind of environment you are running in."

I will turn it back for no good reason.

First of all, it is like this when we summarize tax.

30% wheat

Local tax

·cloth

·Special product

Labor

·military service

Marriage tax

Death tax

Funeral tax

First night tax

Something is amazing.

I often think about this much tax. It would be too cumbersome for me.

In fact, is Regal a hard worker?

Or rather, death tax and funeral tax.

First night tax and marriage tax.

Yeah, everything is amazing.

I don't know the reason for running away.

"Other relatives of the Diber family work violently."

Rape and robbery are commonplace.

Sometimes they come to kill people on a whim.

It's a level of governance you don't even hear in novels.

Really amazing.

By the way, I doubt that it's so terrible.

I tell the delegate to wait a bit and leave.

He called Tetra, Iar, and Boros.

Speak and listen to the representatives of the three.

"It sounds pretty bad, is that true?"

Then Tetra nodded.

"I heard it implicitly from other people, but it was generally true. Some people were crying that they couldn't pay the tax the night and were violated."

Ial nods in the same way.

"I've heard about taxes ... it seems true that they are being squeezed quite a bit. They sell their children regularly."

I see……

He turned his gaze to Boros, and he nodded.

"I often hear about the terribleness of the Diber territory, because refugees often came during the reign of Lagou-sama.

In other words, is Regal Diber hell more terrifying than Ferm hell?

There's a top on top.

"But it seems like rape and murder are thriving.

Tetra asked.

That's right ... I want to keep it secret. I mean, it would be useless as a human to abandon this.

If you send it back to such a terrible place, you don't know if everyone is alive.

But how to deceive ...

Because in the kingdom of Rossais, the movement of inhabitants requires the permission of the lord.

In this case, it is me who is legally bad.

Evil law is also a word of law, and if I keep it, I will be a criminal ...

Alright……

That's right. Can you pass it without knowing if you hide it far away?

Fortunately, King Rossais, who judges, is my favorite.

But nowhere beyond the research of Regal Divell ...

possible. Just good place.

"Then, let's send it to the previous village. Did not the inhabitants send there?-It would never be there."

There are only thirty people there.

Two hundred people have room to feed.

It is not very obvious.

Let's drop 200 refugees there.

The original 30 refugees will be able to get along with each other because there will be places to communicate with each other.

The new members have a hard time letting them taste our feelings.

It is a little overcapacity, but we can provide food for a while.

That's a place to hide.

There are still many barriers established in the past, and for us that forest is a garden.

Even if the dog on which the sorcerer rides enters, it can be cleared immediately.

Very few people know the village, and few know that it is my territory.

It must be a blind spot.

"It's decided. Let's move secretly at midnight."

"Now, hurry up tonight."

"This is this, Diber ... please get up. I will serve you a simple meal."

I'm politely welcoming Regal Divell.

I'm going to get as good a preference as possible.

First, they serve meals and fill the stomach of Regal.

If the belly is swollen, the aggression will be reduced.

Now, after the meal is finished ...

"Divel. What are your requirements this time?"

Well, I know your requirements.

A fugitive?

"Ass. Actually, the people of my territory have escaped. It is highly probable that they have fled to this territory. Do you know?"

I answer that question.

"I'm sorry. I don't have a heart. Let's have a quick investigation."

When I answered so, Regal raised her eyebrows.

Because refugees go to either our territory or the kingdom of Domorgar.

Well, the most probable in terms of distance is our territory.

It's Balebale's lie .... It's not unlikely that he's fled to King Domorgar, but it's not impossible, and we can't help without evidence.

All the evidential refugees' smells and footprints have been erased by the magicians.

A complete crime.

However, it seems that the other party is not convinced.

Of course.

"I see. By the way, Mr. Arum As. The law of this country requires the consent of both lords to move the inhabitants ... do you know?"

"Yes, of course. What is it?"

Don't doubt me.

But there is no evidence.

Since then, Rigal has been asking me many times for the same thing, but I did not know anything about it.

"Shit !! Cut off the white!"

Regal kicks off the chair, pulls out his sword and cuts the floor and walls.

After relieving the stress by doing so, he called on his close associate, Belmette, and his closest relative and best friend, Gilberto.

"What do you think this time?"

First, Gilberto spoke.

"It's undoubtedly fleeing to the Ast territory ... because it was the village I was in charge of. If you flee there, you can't think of anything but the Ast."

Of course, it is not impossible to go to the kingdom of Domorgar.

However, it takes a few days to go to the kingdom of Domorgar.

It is impossible to escape overnight.

"But with no definitive evidence, we will only lose if we sue. Apparently Almus As has completely obliterated odors and footprints."

And King Rosais is clearly a favor of Almus.

Disadvantage in trial. There is no doubt that they will lose.

"But I was able to pierce my nail. There will be no next."

As expected, Almus cannot do the same thing many times.

That is Bellmet's conclusion.

"I mean, crying and sleeping ... look now. Almus ass ..."

One week later, reports of the discovery of a large salt mine near the eastern border of As and near the border between Ass and Diber ran throughout King Rosais.
