524 522 Relations between the three countries (2/2)

If it didn't even go to war, you could have said it was stable.

I remember a little of the three kingdoms of my previous life. It is a three-minute plan under the heavens that the famous warrior and Confucius Ming contributed to Liu Bei, the Lord. It is a famous measure that stability comes when three antagonistic countries, one to the other, tow on each other. The northern part of the continent of Zilbard seemed to be in that state indefinitely.

”Well, Kranzel seems a little shaky, but it's a big country there, too. Sometimes it suddenly crumbles. Even from the kingdom of Verios, I'd have trouble getting it crushed.”

They didn't want both countries to actively crush each other, although they were sending each other spies.

”There will be some support for Kranzel from Berios in the near future. Well, secretly in the back, though.”

”I see. So, who's Reids?

”I've told you a little bit now, but that sucks”

For hundreds of years now, it has been a pattern between wars and bad national sentiment. To be clear, a lot of people seemed to think of it as an enemy country.

”However, as for the risk of being invaded, I consider it low”

”Why?”

'Cause there's an autonomous community.'

Special autonomous regions. It's a place where there's a magic school. Located on the western side of the kingdom of Verios, the Autonomous Community would definitely be a passage in the event of Raidos' invasion.

”No matter how many of our opponents were high elves, there's no way we're going to lend Pong any land comparable to 10% of the national territory, is there? It also means jetty. In fact, there are contracts between the head of the autonomous community, Mr. Weena Lane, and the country, right?

”Contract?”

”I'm not familiar with the details, but they've arranged for us to enter the war when things happen and release the technology created at the School of Magic as a priority in the country.”

And the national side has also granted various privileges to Weena Lane.

”Autonomy of special areas. I guess this is the best. They recognize a lot of exemptions from tax obligations to the state and the right to refuse to extradite criminals. And they have the authority to speak out for the rule of Lake Vivian, don't they?

”Is that lake from the high elves, too?

”No, he doesn't mean he's got full powers, but he's got enough authority to say something about development. There are spirits living in this lake, and if you piss off the spirits, the country is in danger of dying. I'm talking about keeping an eye on the spirits so they don't get angry.”

”The Spirit who loses his country?

That's what I heard somewhere. It is the great spirit of the wind of Klimt. Could the Great Spirit of Water be here? If so, it would be dangerous to piss him off.

”The guys in the commercial fleet were blurry too. Every time you add more ships or decide on a new route, it's a hassle to report to your country or autonomous region.”

In fact, no one knows if such spirits live in this lake. It's just because Wiena Lane, a high elf, says it, it's perceived as something like that.

”You can't piss off a high elf, so it won't be the other way around.”
