Chapter 42 (2/2)
“Ignoring likes and dislikes, it’s a problem that Cordova is a militaristic power that rules by force”
If they don’t include all of ainst the demon tribe Past history had proven it
But even so, Ria thought about it
If Cordova was left to rule, the ogres ain
For the beastkin, dog beastkin like Kobolds were on the deh they were fundaroups s to ridicule
“Wouldn’t it be good for Casalia’s dominion to spread into this area?”
In terdoht so While it was her own country, her ancestors had done good work
“I’d also thought about that, but if Casalia’s national power brought the area together, I think that Cordova would invade Rather, I don’t want Cordova to have a reason to be openly hostile against Casalia”
Vargas didn’t understand the ht that the reason why the two countries didn’t fight was because there was simply another nation between them
“The e Casalia for tio to war now, though I think that Casalia will be able to barely win, it would ruin both countries”
Right, the empire was the immovable stone that defended the human race’s order
The Labra Kingdo it had still kept its authority There was athat the eency
While Ria believed it would be difficult for that country from here on, she returned to the problem at hand
“In other words, on Valis’ help, build a union between the ogre and beastkin city-states and with Casalia, confine Cordova’s ainst the demon tribe”
A staggering sentence
Unable to keep up, Vargas shut his eyes for a brief moment
“… It ht be natural since you’re an Ojou-sama, but you’re like a politician”
“No, no Politics isabout a strategy”
Ria, who had been closely watching her father’s work, understood that But even if it was a strategy, it was a grand strategy
“Is soe, new country? I’d think there would be rebellion fro them”
“There is that…”
Still, Ria thought there was no helping it
“For now, I have an idea on uniting the ogres I have fighting relations with the Ogre King”
Though Ria had surprised Vargas yet again, she didn’t notice and continued thinking
“Labyrinth City’s mayor is also my acquaintance, so I think I kno to create an alliance with theas”
“Me!?”
Vargas instinctively shouted Jaeburg was an oligarchy city-state The position of uished families
“Besides, I’ you need to be a politician Since you have the renown of Thunder’s Fangs, I want you to explain the advantages of the alliance to the mayor Aren’t you acquainted?”
Vargas folded his arh it’s not like he didn’t understand what she was saying
He was definitely acquainted with the h he wasn’t softhearted, he was clever when it came to his interests
“If we conquer the Dark Labyrinth, your fame with increase more If it’s your comment, the mayor probably won’t be able to refuse it that quickly”
“Even so, do we need to on? I don’t think we do if it’s just to talk”
As he digested their conversation, Ria probably should meet and speak to the mayor If it was a princess of Casalia, she would be able to meet him normally
“But even with that, I think various other problems would pop up…”
“Even if there is a problem, it’ll be useless if we can’t advance…”
His eyes weren’t filled with strong deterhed
“Well, I’d like to go to a dwarf town, and I have business to do at a beastkin town, and of course there’s the problem of the human countries…” [4]
“You have it hard too huh”
Vargas knew that compared to her, he had it easy
If the de the Millennium, ould explorers do? Since they weren’t existences that belonged to a country, they also had the choice of just running away However, guild regulations required forced ency, like when the city was attacked
As for a deency
Even if they could run away, Vargas didn’t want to run
He only wanted to send his family to safety However, he would rerew up in And fight, then die
Exploration aside, Vargas didn’t think he would survive a war
“Incidentally, it’s unrelated, but I’d like you to hear a story”
Though he thought about a problem earlier, he’d restrained himself But since Ria spoke unrestrained so far, she would probably listen
“How are you so strong? I’d thought that those who reincarnate certainly do so by training proportionately in their previous lives, but…”
After being defeated by Ria, shi+zuna was depressed Though that could be called a good medicine, he wanted to hear about it
“Oh, that? Well, it’s already fine to talk about it since it’s you”
She had already coas
“There are two reasons for why I’ as you said just now I’ve studied battle skills that have been handed down across centuries for around thirty years”
Vargas nodded in acceptance If that’s hoas, shi+zuna being unable to be her match was understandable Since she had reincarnated, it was like already being trained
“Then there’s the other reason My Gift I don’t require much sleep or rest, and I am resistant to poisons and curses, that’s from my Gift”
“Even your strong build and strength?”
“Yeah The Gift’s naon I’h”
Ria replied easily Vargas was surprised when he heard ‘power of a Dragon’, huon Even heroes probably couldn’t win against a Dragon
“So you being so fixated on the Dark Dragon, that has to do with your Gift?”
“Un, well there’s a sense of affinity with it, so I guess so?”
Though he ht help simply because of her ancestors
“For those that know of e Please keep it a secret for now”
“That kid? He also seems like he has a Gift”
Since he had Identify, it shouldn’t be hard to find out However, Serge had acquired Read Resistancetheir journey
What Vargas found curious was that ae to be the most reliable
She consulted Carlos and Lulu for general things and cherished Maal the most But when it was for ie’s opinion without fail
In fact, Serge’s opinions were often beneficial Especially when they fought forive help froe ave
“We~ll, you’ll have to ask Serge about that It’s not so I should say”
That was the truth
After that, the two talked about conquering the labyrinth for a while
They would resuh the labyrinth
Since she was invited, Ria caas’ house for dinner
After that, she taught sword lessons to his sons
Eating his wife’s delicious cooking, Ria recalled the taste of ho time
