Chapter 45 (2/2)
There shouldn’t exist a fool that wants to make a pass at her in the first place
Besides, it’s that Elise after all
So like money she will likely entrust to Baron Baumeister in the end
Since even Baron Bauht her, who shared her mana with him until she fainted at the final olem
Unlike those three, there isn’t any necessity for her to file a formal objection of dividends
“She will probably even donate it” (Burkhart)
“So like this is only for form’s sake this time” (Breithilde)
Rather than the donation in the near future, they shouldn’t care about it even without so like donations since new interests will come up
“For now thein the boy’s hands?” (Burkhart)
“Yes, there isn’t any better way to word it” (Breithilde)
It’s a simple explanation
As there was stability, His Majesty and Finance Minister Rückner considered about one way or another what they wanted to do about the recently stagnating kingdom’s economy
Especially about the slu in the outskirts of the capital
If one is careless, it isn’t that difficult to figure that those will becodom in the future
At the tieous on, appeared
Furthermore, his family’s home is a noble household in the southern borderland
Moreover, the place is adjacent to the vast Savage Land which has the potential to be developed
If it was independently developed by the kingdoet
Considering the possibility of failing, Finance Minister Rückner wouldn’t plunge into easily providing the budget either
In his case, he has the opposing power called his younger brother
No, this isn’t quite right
If a person in a position starts so power
Even if, for exaroups that obtain benefits by objecting the matter
That’s because the possibility of failure is a seapon which is great from their point of view
Although a successful iuys don’t have any interest in that
Returning to the original point, the suddenly appeared dragon-slaying hero, Baron Bauon in the Palkenia Grasslands afterwards and contributed to its liberalization (T/N: The author says here that the MC defeated 2 dragons there, but I don’t reon included in the count? T/N: Nah, that one was mentioned a few lines before)
This tiround ruins which contained a large quantity of things with exceedingly high utility value
The kingdo funds without itself having any disadvantages
Now that it has come to this, only that possibility is left
“(The will end up appointing Baron Bau the vast Savage Land at the southern tip)” (Breithilde)
Fortunately, he has h funds for the development
Furthermore, even if he fails, all of it will be paid out of Baron Baumeister’s wallet
For the royal family, they will obtain assets beyond the money they paid
That’s why those guys are afraid, I guess
“(As far as their plans are concerned, won’t they deal with his family’s home next…)?” (Breithilde)
That place, even I feel it is a nuisance
They will reduce the territory to a scope suitable for Knight’s territory
Given that they aren’t currently developing at all, will the kingdolected it?
Or are they intending to order the division of territory due to formal procedure?
At any rate, hoill the feudal lord there react?
The current family head is composed, but the successor of that place is iuess
Since I didn’t see his face until now, it’s probably natural to feel anxiety all the more
According to rumors, it doesn’t look like he is quite capable as noble either
“(If it’s nothing , opposition will be inevitable Or is the kingdo a forced relocation to a suitable territory close to the central government?)” (Breithilde)
I guess the sole concern is the distance of the kingdoovernment’s administration to the southern borderland?
If it’s the kingdoht households si like a petal if blown That’s also because they likely feel they are unnecessary
Even so, if they unskillfully offend thein to meddle once the develop for me as the patron close-by
“(Isn’t there also the possibility to neglect it on purpose in order to sabotage me)?” (Breithilde)
Because it’s the new developrand scaled territory
Furthermore, currently Baron Baumeister possesses money with only few retainers
Considering the size of that Savage Land, it is at least the territory of an Earl
If I didn’t exist, it would even be a scale of a Margrave’s territory category
Good grief, as new Earl household to rise from scratch
Thinking about the labor of that, the possibility of the me to support them is 0
If I help, it will becoratitude That’s how this world works
When talking about such case, the first thing is to roup appropriate for an Earl’s household
Also, any noble wants to bestow positions to relatives of retainers and the useless people on the payroll
Even the church, with such a scale, just how many churches will be necessary?
If they appoint all of the people, this will already become a kind of concession
Rather than the temporary donation from Elise-jou, this side is far more important
Or perhaps I should say their real motive is to advance the development more quickly with that share of donations
If they coe, the church will only need to increase the clergy by one
If it’s a territory of such scale, it will also becoe branch That should also increase the positions in the upper echelons of the church
Even children will understand the reasons for such things
After that they will need mediation for the necessary manpower to work on the development
For the population and companies in my territory it will be a chance to procure work by new businesses and working away from home
And then they will bring back the earned income to their native places and expend it in that territory
If you consider the distance, this is indeed a big benefit for the southern nobles
Because they steal even those few gained rights fro -like home of Baron Baumeister
The reason is 『Because the other party is in a humble position』
“(Should I try to poke that lot for the tiht request intended for adventurers that can’t be entrusted to no one but Baron Baumeister?)” (Breithilde)
There is notoo much over it either It’s also possible tofor soe as well
My opinion is to entrust the work to Baron Baue the details
“Will I accoain?” (Burkhart)
“This tier” (Breithilde)
“If you are talking about the degree of danger, that’s certainly right, but the troublesootiations are…” (Burkhart)
“If the negotiations beco to the other party” (Breithilde)
“Most likely it will cause a rebellion” (Burkhart)
Nevertheless I have the obligation to protect the lives of rave Breithilde
Therefore I will harden my heard and be determined to alter the current state of affairs
– Wendelin PoV –
“It’s been a while It feels like I finally returned” (Erwin)
“I carried the luggage over last week” (Wendelin)
“Wend is the best” (Luise)
Abruptly our studying aboard in the capital was extended for two and a half years At our adventurer début we caround ruins exploration
Safelyto finish various matters influenced by politics and adults, we returned at last to
As ateleportation s necessary as an adventurer
Since I also went on dates with Elise and such on my days off, there essentially wasn’t any time to visit the mansion
It was slightly regrettable as it is a good mansion with precious facilities, but now it became finally possible to settle down in it
We coround ruin and received the reward for the discovered items and facilities
After bidding farewell from everybody, ere indebted to in the capital, such as Erich-nii-san’s group, everybody of the Brandt fa-doushi+ as well as Warren-san, we returned to Breitburg by teleportation
Actually, during that ti the majority of the reward, they obtained, to me
It seems they didn’t want the money as it would become the seed of troubles due to its sheer amount
Furtheruild’s syste a formal objection of dividends
If they didn’t use this system and didn’t leave an official entry in the records behind, the news of the three of theradually spreading
Furthermore, Elise entrusted the majority of her share to me as well
Though the payovernain, issued it with 『Kingdo
As for those kingdoic tool device
It’s soing an application to the royal castle
In the so-called olden days itlike currency issued by a feudal clan
I think it is a ic tool, but there are only few people possessing those tokens to begin with
Since the person in charge easily remembers the faces of the owners, it doesn’t see until now
With it being easy to expose a counterfeit of a kingdo the criuess
For such things as gold and silver coins there were occasionally incidents of counterfeiting, but it looks like the criht
Naturally the kingdo that is rarely seen at all
It is only given if, for example, the payment with platinu rarely circulating on the market
By the way, this tidom token is one billion cents
Therefore I, who got those kingdom tokens, handed 100 platinuroup, who had reserved a reward of 100 million cents for themselves
Although Erwin’s group told me that there won’t even be a probleit less, the split would have ended up with a too slanted ratio as expected
Therefore I partly forced the 100 million cents on each of them
『Takeme to reduce the costs』 (Burkhart)
Returning to the story, since I was asked to take Burkhart-san alongside us, it has beco as well
My teleportation ic wasn’t able to transportmyself no matter how ed to finish it with only one transfer
『I have decided to ask the boy at the times I have business in the capital from now on』 (Burkhart)
『At the times I don’t have to work as adventurer?』 (Wendelin)
『It is faster to just wait a day or two It saves costs as well』 (Burkhart)
Since it’s very useful, Burkhart-san and his boss, Margrave Breithilde, apparently ended up zeroing up on it
Given that any ic, is obligated to register it, even as private person, it’s impossible to hide the ability in the first place
It appears to be a encies and for the sake ofpublic order
Even if that recruitment itself hasn’t happened here for close to 200 years
Therefore, I took along Burkhart-san in the return to Breitburg as well and inforht away
Continuing onwards, I went to the adventurer’s guild Breitburg branch on the way and turned in the relocation notification In the last few days we hunted nor
Originally soatory request fro is impossible Usually you advance as adventurer by steadily hunting monsters like this
Heading towards the forest, where the uild can be found, we continuously hunt monsters there
Monsters rese wolves andwild boars
This sort offor some reason lured into the domain
It seee into monsters there
As for additional traits, they are several ti a ic core within their bodies
Also, they lose the corowth Will the raw s sell well, I wonder?
Just, soer than normal can’t be dealt with in any way by normal people either
If they are unlucky, they will be instantly killed by a single swing of its paw
Eer was the trade of adventurers, who earned large rewards for it
“Soh spirits” (Wendelin)
“With our début battle being far too crazy…” (Elise)
Certainly, it’s as Elise has said In the underground ruins investigation Erell as Ina have experienced an extreme situation
Even during the battle with the two dragon gole period of tiic, they were active as opponents to the approaching golems
Although I guess it’s better than being useless, they don’t consider that sudden investigation as début fight
I have no doubt that they are enthusiastic because it is normal adventurer work
Luise always had such feeling therefore there was no change Elise, whose role was recovery, had no turn since there was no one getting hurt
Except being on meal preparation duty, that is
“Well then, let’s return since we hunted enough already?” (Wendelin)
Erw and Ina continued to hunt ht after we entered the forest Luise assisted them
Elise and I were on standby being ready in the worst case enveloped by a ic barrier in the rear But we should have already hunted a sufficient amount
Deciding this, I advised everyone to withdraw
“That’s true It seems like we already hunted plenty” (Luise)
“Ano, does Luise-san have no need to hunt?” (Elise)
“Although I yielded it to those two and settled with supporting them, my turn didn’t come at all” (Luise)
In those few days Erw and Ina took the leading part for us and hunted a reasonable amount of prey
I guess, if they hunted this ood experience, I think
That doesn’t mean that we have particularly relaxed our attention or cut corners
“Even though we are irresponsible outsiders to others, Erwin’s group coht?” (Wendelin)
Nojealous of others
Even in regards to ossiping 『The brat has good luck』
Also in regards to Luise, there are guys criticizing her taking lessons in ic combat style with 『Immature brat』
As expected there wasn’t any unfavorably criticisainst Elise as treated as saint, but there were folks relentlessly bad-ain
『They are only lucky to be affiliated with Baron Baumeister』 (rumors)
In the case of the underground ruins investigation where they ended up earning a large reward, it apparently reached the point of the told it was too much for them
In a nor such kind of reould be nothing else but a miracle
Since the discovered iteht it for a high price to reat as well
Even confir the fact that I, who refused the majority of it, had it pushed onto me, the amount of money they received is 100 platinuhly ten billion in japanese yen
Because it was a treasure a normal adventurer wouldn’t be able to obtain even if they spent their whole life with great efforts, they ended up gathering excessive reproaches onto themselves
Even onexcited and saying 『Rather than such greenhorn and lass, it would be of more use for us』
As for Luise, at the ti-doushi+’s pupil, those criticizing folks stopped
It looks like there isn’t anyone ants to pick a fair and square fight with that doushi+
It could be called natural since even I wouldn’t do such reckless thing
“Despite declining the majority of the reward, aren’t we a party that obtained many accomplishments?” (Elise)
“Nevertheless, since it is a hundred million cents, there probably will be a lot of people ant to complain about it” (Wendelin)
It didn’t seeree with it, but it’s like this because even a part of it would be an outrageous amount of money
Especially the value of the e
The new an to be used as passenger shi+ps within the kingdohts and the places of destination
Paying the sailor’s wages and the er fares, they can even learn such things as operation and servicing skills
Noroods and dom, they are also useful aswar potential for raids during times of war
There were 8 shi+ps, including the spares as well, operating in the Heldom before ent to the capital
Well, in fact, getting hold of a super large ic airshi+p to go into service successfully as the super large em had been the final obstruction until now
That shi+p has been na, and is currently advancing into practicing for battle
Continuing onwards, it has by now becoic core left behind by Grade Grande That shi+p is travelling an already existing course safely
And now, it had already beco power sources of the underground ruins, the two oleround ruins
In other words, the potentially operating ic airshi+ps have been doubled to more than 20 shi+ps thanks to us (T/N: don’t ask me how the author concluded that one) Further the developic airshi+p
The ards to the northern Holy Eht to receive a reward
If it’s the lot who reproaches Erw and Ina, I guess they don’t intend to accept the merit of luck
“I guess so Shall we return soon?” (Erwin)
Apparently even Erw thinks that it is already enough
While wiping the sith a cloth, he calls out to us
“It appears to be a sith a fine sharpness” (Erwin)
“Well, you earned a lot of ht an excellent specialized weapon” (Wendelin)
Erw purchased an excellent specialized weapon with the reward he acquired
Or rather, Erw is looking at swords at the weapon shop in his spare ti the spares as well
Because he couldn’t use anything but a worn-out, tattered sword as legacy of his elder brothers during his childhood, he will usually end up wanting a new good sword against his better judgement
“I don’t quite understand the quality of a sword, if I don’t use appraisal ic” (Wendelin)
“You, aren’t you pretty ht’s family?” (Erwin)
Erw laughs while partly co in jest to me, who is completely indifferent towards swords
Certainly, until the age of 12 years, I didn’tfor around an hour
But, since I was co to archery and ic nowadays
“More or less If a child is born, I will hire a good instructor for teaching” (Wendelin)
I have the social rank of Baron for the ti after all
Seeing that the possibility of genetically handing down the ht that I should give the child a normal noble education
“There’s no need for that as I will teach them” (Erwin)
“Now that you mention it, Erw is my retainer after all” (Wendelin)
Although it was only in name and unpaid since they had no achieveorup would become my retainers
“But, you know Since we obtained a large areat pains, shouldn’t we reclaim some territory?”
As for the kingdoe with money
If you want to sell it to someone else, do you yield it to so it? Or do you adopt the inheritor? The logical dom
Also, in regards to adopted children, for the sake of preventing the purchase of peerage with money by someone like upstart e etc to become an adopted child
In Erich-nii-san’s case it was relatively easy with having to be just recognized since nii-san was a noble’s child
assu someone like a merchant would suddenly take a son-in-law into his faht away hand down a verdict of not authorizing it
Also, there is the option of receiving the approval for a territory if you reclaim the uninhabited land by yourself
Given that you have contributed to the kingdoe and such, but you have to reclaim the uninhabited land from the scratch
Of course, if it was ordinary effort, the success would be doubtful
There isn’t anyone you can call suited to the task if they ic or if they just have strong physical prowess
You have to have the ability to handle many people efficiently
If you don’t have that, it will just be a waste of money
Even if you wage a large sum of money and the possession is approved, the restoration of the funds will take several tens of years During that ti the funds on hand without having any income
If you rush the restoration of development capital, it will cause heavy taxation for the residents They, who aren’t yet attached to the region, would escape I hear that there are plenty of feudal lords devastating their territory like that
Naturally, if that is exposed to the kingdon and the peerage and territory will be confiscated
In other words, the waged money will end up to be in vain
The kingdom has established strict rules in order to not limitlessly increase the number of nobles
You could even say that the rules considered the majority of the vested interest, but since it was nobles who established the inevitable
Besides, there are also people beco a territory
“Even if the success is uncertain, they won’t be willing to spend money on the development of the territory If they leavedescendants can freely use it” (Wendelin)
Since there isn’t any inheritance tax in the kingdom, it was a better way to hold onto houses and fields, that have the potential to be harvested, as well as precious metals and money
It ht be difficult to supply money to the coal son of the rich to spread money around, this society kept a balance (T/N: In other words, the parents are frugal but they son spends it all and thus keeps the )
“That’s right, isn’t it? The ement of the territory takes time” (Erwin)
“Though it’s also different if you coistrate” (Wendelin)
While stuffing the hunted prey into theto not get involved with the administration of a territory
But I felt that the environ in severity
“However, it was nice to have a large catch today” (Ina)
I finished putting the prey into the s with that
It is a ic tool that requires a basic talent, but it is relatively easy to use the
Though it had the tag of being 『Exclusive use for icians』
A co due to their ic bag is co completely out of my reach
But, if it is used by someone with the mana of Luise and Elise, even I can easily make it
“Because it’s monsters, the meat will sell for more than normal animals” (Wendelin)
“Currently we don’t really need the h” (Ina)
Even so, all things considered, it is better than wandering around aiic bag, ill go back to Breitburg
We will iuild with teleportationthe prey at the reception
Since everyone had worked today, we decided to settle with a restaurant for dinner
Usually the feirls are now in the sa as adventurers
They shouldn’t be excessively burdened with housework
Erw and I had that kind of thoughts
“Okay, I think we becaainst monsters” (Wendelin)
“Yea” (Ina)
To begin with, Erw and Ina are easily recognized as adventurers possessing a superb strength if they are in other parties
With us already being close the entrance of the monster domain, there shouldn’t be any necessity for us to hunt for the sake of getting used to combat
“Why don’t we fight a bit farther in?” (Erwin)
“Still, I don’t think the h ” (Wendelin)
It’s not like such things as e much unless you head very deep inside If I had to say, the parts, that change a lot, are the regional differences and the place itself
Also it was coon type or such, who stands at the top of the food chain as boss of the do
If it was that easy to find and subjugate it, the o
“Most of those in the adventurer business start with this domain” (Ina)
With it now being close-by, you usually won’t discover so like a new historic ruin or a new labyrinth
If you want to discover such things, you have to travel far Without true strength it is difficult to set out on an exploration at such distant place even if you discover it
Since you will be far away froers of co will increase
“Yo, isn’t it the boy’s group?” (Burkhart)
When I turnedabruptly called froreat smile
Formerly he was a rerave Breithilde
It seereat hardshi+ps, but I couldn’t do nothing but just having a bad pre that current smile
Probably he aiting for us with a request frorave Breithilde
“On the topic of dinner, you have been invited to be treated in Margrave Breithilde’s mansion” (Burkhart)
“I have a bad premonition” (Wendelin)
“Don’t say that Isn’t my master the boy’s patron?” (Burkhart)
“Do you really think that, Burkhart-san?” (Elise)
“…” (Burkhart)
While seeing Burkh
