Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 62: Craft

Time goes back a little.

The meeting to send envoys to the Equus went unexpectedly smoothly.

That's because Regal Diber didn't object so much.

For him, there was no point in trading with barbarians, but there was no point in interfering with it.

In short, I wasn't interested.

After it was decided to send his first envoy to the Equus, Almus quickly returned to his territory and began preparing for the war.

In this war, in addition to the 800 recruited by recruitment, the recruit will collect about 1,200.

2,000 in all.

It ranges from 6% to 7% of the population.

The schedule says that it will not be prolonged for more than 20 days, but the burden is still heavy.

There is a realization that the people of Ass live near the border with the kingdom of Domorgar, and that the lord of this time, Almus, is in good politics.

Asus's finances are also stable on salt and paper wheels.

The problem is quality.

So soon after returning, Almus required his nation to take part in military training.

Once a week, they gather together in about 10 to 20 villages for training.

That's about it.

Once a week, farmland will not be damaged.

One of the purposes is to make the people aware of the crisis.

Now, there is much more to be done besides procuring soldiers.

First he ordered Ismare, Seimei and Lulu to further reinforce and inspect the fortress.

This is to strengthen the defense.

In essence, you need to build a barrier and make it even stronger.

Almus has also begun working with Tetra to develop new guardian weapons.

Seo-yong is asked to study the landforms of King Domorgar with the magician belonging to King Rosais.

At midnight, using an owl is not so easy to find.

Well, King Rossais would have done the same for this.

Ron, Rosward, and Gram are troop training.

Well, lastly Ial ...

Iar left Ass and was in Diber.

The act of dressing as a peddler with several subordinates.

About a decade ago, when Ron and his children were children, currency was hardly in circulation.

However, over the past decade or so, the Adernia Peninsula has rapidly become a monetary economy.

The increased activity of Christian merchants and the discovery of rock salt throughout the Adernia Peninsula.

This is mainly due to the fact that kings, princes and royals of the Adernia Peninsula sought luxuries abroad and longed for the Greek culture and began to learn the Greek language.

So the peddler is not that rare.

Even in the Diber territory.

All modern merchants are heading to the Ast territory, but some merchants go to the Diber territory.

First, Iar started his business normally.

He concentrated on gathering information.

Merchants gathering information is nothing suspicious.

Iar gradually gathered information about Diber territory from other merchants and Diber territory peasants.

Because of that, the relationship between the Diber family was found.

After all composition is relative VS non-relative.

The relative head is Gilberto, and the non-relative head is Belmet.

Apparently Belmet has spent a long time recruiting talented people.

For some reason, the Diber family was the most dominant house in the kingdom of Rosais (before the Ass family revived).

The Rosais family has no future as long as their owner, King Rosais, is sick.

Many were coming to the Diber territory.

Belmet picked it up and gave him a job.

Despite the monopoly of the important jobs, the Diveles are not without barriers.

And if Regal Divell becomes king, there is a good chance that pots will come around.

There are not many relatives.

And if Belmet overcomes the struggle for power, he will be able to gain important jobs and become lord in the kingdom of Rossais.

However, it is not without complaints.

And not all people benefit from Bellmet.

If not appreciated at all, there are many who want to switch to another lord.

Iar aimed at such a person.

Time is March.

Iar asked a man in the Diber territory.

"Oh, Ial-san. Go up."

One of the soldiers of the Diber territory, Commander Joseph, brought the peddler Iar home.

Josef lives on a wheat salary from the Diber family.

Naturally, humans should not eat with wheat alone.

That's why Joseph sells wheat and turns it into vegetables, meat and sake ... but recently somehow the price of wheat is cheap.

The yield should be the same as usual.

Joseph knows nothing, but the bad is Almus.

Wheats paid by Almus for compensation have reduced the market price of Diber territory.

back to the topic.

The low price of wheat made Joseph's life harder.

That's when Iar appeared.

Iar sold vegetables at very cheap prices.

Soon Ial and Joseph became friends.

"I won't do it!"

Joseph drinks alcohol and complains to Ial.

The point is that my ability is not evaluated.

Josef's swords and spears were top-notch and defeated many enemies during the battle of Ferm.

The whole situation is defeat.

His ability caught the eye of Belmet, and Joseph entered the army.

As a ten commander, she is very talented and worth a look.

But he cannot be a centurion.

All of the centurion's jobs are monopolized by the relatives and relatives of Regal Divell.

Of course I thank Belmet.

However, thanks for not eating.

Why do I have to struggle in life to be excellent?

After seeing Joseph, Ial thought that it was time and started.

"Well then, why not serve as Us? I guarantee the position of a centurion. Let's pay ten times the current salary. We will have a mansion."

"Haha, that's okay ... eh?"

Joseph recalled unintentionally.

Iar smiles with a smile.

"I'm Ial working for Almus Ass. Well, now I'm a peddler."

"Isn't that a trick?"

"The only way to know your feelings was to do this. What would you do?"

Joseph's heart shakes greatly.

But ...

"... Rigal Diebel is the first king candidate. There's no way he can get off the winning horse.

"Thank you?" Do you have such a thing ?? You are now forced to live in poverty. Is this also due to Belmet ?? Did he help you in your life? Didn't you say that if you hadn't, you had to borrow debt, and that it wasn't decided that Rigal Diber would take over the throne.

Ial folds over Joseph.

At the moment, relatives of King Rossais have been making two rumors, centered around him.

One is rumor that Lymond is the next king.

It's not a funny story because it's the most appropriate in a bloodline.

The second one is that Almus As is elected general in the war against King Domorgar.

That is, it is true.

It is only recently that the Diber Army has miserably defeated the Ath Army.

It is very credible because it has a great effect. No credibility is true.

"My Lord, Almus, is young. He has much more to come, and rumors say he will become the next general in the next battle. Almus is also close to King Rossais. We're suffering from shortages, and Alms doesn't have a family. There are many opportunities for you to get up. "

As a matter of fact, the Ath Army lacked commanders on the battlefield.

Thirty tax collectors are versatile civil servants who can fight and treasure, but cannot take everyone on the battlefield.

This is because territory management does not remain.

Some must be dedicated as direct escorts of Almus.

Considering that, I want four or five centurions.

When Joseph is troubled, he asks Ial.

"Can you wait for three days?"

"It's good.

Iar left with a smile.

Well, Ial visited the next house.

The house owner welcomes Iar.

"Please go up"

The house's main name is Dora.

He is a magician and good at using dogs.

"It's my usual sake. And herbs."

"Thank you very much. I appreciate it"

Dora pays for Iar's goods in wheat.

After chatting for a while, Dora cut into Iar.

"Actually, there is something I want you to consult."

"What happened?"

"Actually, I'm being courted by one of the Diveles."

Naturally Ial knew. It was famous among sorcerers serving the Diber family.

That's why Ial is approaching.

And he knows why he is worried.

But pretend they don't know.

"It was good.

"It's not good at all!"

Dora roared.

"The man looks like that ... well, he's fifty years old ... he's not. I don't like it at least. And my wife already has five and ten sex slaves. I'm sorry. "

Sorcerer women have higher pride.

Because of the unique power of magic, it is much more favored than ordinary male vassals.

The salary is high and there is no trouble in living.

Thus, there is no need to frantically chase the rich man. Except for the madness with multiple wives.

In general, she cannot be patiently treated as a wife with a woman who is not a magician.

That is Dora's feelings.

I would have thought if a man who had been married was a great twink or had a very high status.

However, the status of a man who has been courting is not so high.

The name value of the relatives of the Diber family is known only within the territory of the Diber lord of the kingdom of Rossais.

She is not hungry for a man to marry a medaka in such a cup.

"But in this Diber territory, if you go against the Diber family, you have to work ... Belmet doesn't count on you. Is there a good place to find a job? I wonder if I'm a peddler and I know."

"Yes, I know."

Iar visited the third house.

The owner of the house is a quarter with the Christians.

He is a very good person who can speak Greek and is good at calculations.

"Mr. Ial. Sorry ... Could you wait for another month? I'll give you back."

Amerigo had a very poor life.

Many are longing for the Christian culture, and many are aware of the importance of writing.

But there are also many royalties who are unaware.

Many wars, including skirmishes, have taken place, and on the Adernia Peninsula, where dangerous bears and wolves are at stake, the strength is crucial.

Conversely, academic results are often neglected, as the results are difficult to see.

This is especially true for the Diveles.

Amerigo got a job with the only Belmet he knew, but his life was hard.

The salary is not very high.

Well, the Amerigos have a grandmother who is too old to work, and a large family of nine with six wives and six children.

It is difficult to feed eight people with Amerigo's salary.

Since children are still young, it is also dangerous to go to work.

Then you might think you could go to a territory outside the Diber territory, but there is no job outside the Diber territory.

In the first place, no other territory has done the trouble of making a resident's card, conducting an inspection, and collecting taxes correctly.

Even the tribes, who realize the importance of writing, want to be able to speak one or two Greeks.

In the first place, few people want to hire people who are away from the Diber family.

Fear of buying the anger of the Diber family.
