Episode 127
##127
Everyone’s eyes turned to the entrance and Count Artrone entered the meeting room.
Squeak!
He looks a little older, but judging from his sturdy physique, he looked like a knight on active duty.
In fact, he was a mid-ranking waitress, so he did not feel intimidated even when he entered the presence of representatives from each country.
however… … .
“Grandpa~~!”
Everyone was taken aback by Lian’s sudden action.
From nob le mt l. com
Just a moment ago, he seemed like a ferocious little devil… … .
“uh… uh… that… they say.”
The same goes for Count Artrone.
“Grandpa. Those guys are harassing me. Please scold me~”
Why the hell are you doing that all of a sudden?
Up until now, he had been cocky, but now he’s changed like a kid his age.
‘I guess it’s time to use it.’
Some of the observers noticed.
maybe that’s the best way
There’s nothing more difficult than convincing someone you don’t understand.
To be honest, it’s hard to ignore the words of King Ingleson or his maternal grandfather, so he must have used that kind of strategy.
“Don’t do that, Lian-ah, listen. A lot of people are in trouble because you occupy the land here.”
“That is not my case. This is for my brother.”
Everyone was startled by Ryan’s impudent attitude.
At that time, the article guarding the entrance urgently reported.
“The Marquis of Wadomabe from the Ibel Kingdom has come to visit.”
At that, everyone frowned.
Lian is acting like a no-nonsense person. The fact that my grandfather even used a group of oni was a waste of time.
‘no way. You expected this?!’
At that time, one of the observers felt the hair all over his body stand up.
‘If I hadn’t sent people to Ybel Kingdom before the war started, it would be difficult to arrive now.’
In other words, Lian saw that the land could be eaten before the war even started.
Even requesting a third party to mediate it.
“Nice to meet you. Other than the Marquis of Kodomo and Domabe. I heard that my father-in-law is in trouble, so I came to see him.”
Rian and the Marquis Wadomabe were meeting for the first time, but the moment their eyes met, they smiled slightly.
It’s good that Lian has a strong ally. Marquis Wadomabe felt good when he saw the usual thorns in his eyes getting flustered.
“I am truly sorry. It’s a war that my sire participated in, and it’s impossible for us, the Kingdom of Ybel, not to send observers.”
The Marquis was sent as an observer.
It has the highest rank here.
In the first place, the class itself did not fit.
“no. It arrived sooner than expected. I thought you would come by tomorrow.”
Was it because reinforcements arrived? Little by little, the dirt of the little boy who used to use the group a while ago was peeling off.
the eyes are cold Her lips twisted slightly.
A look that is hard for a child to make.
Still, I played until the end. This time, it’s the smoke that shows off.
“I don’t know why these guys are doing this. Could it be because of the mana stone mine?”
At that time, everyone put on a puzzled expression.
Suddenly a mana stone mine?
Due to its nature, this area is very far from mana stone mines.
Thanks to this, the northwestern region, including the Duchy of Brittany, relied entirely on imports for mana stones.
What if there is a mana stone mine nearby?
Exclusive supply is possible because distribution costs can be reduced.
You can literally rake in gold.
“Ehh~ I’m not really interested in the mana stone mine.”
Everyone listened to Ryan’s words.
“My grandfather knew that there was a mana stone mine in this land, but he passed away leaving a will not to be greedy.”
If it’s a Brittany nobility. Maybe you know information that others don’t know.
Something added to the credibility.
“so. Count Leon. Where is that mine?!”
Someone couldn’t contain their curiosity and opened their mouth.
“Baron Sebas!”
“yes?!!”
When Rian called Sebas a baron, even he, who usually doesn’t have a reaction, flinched.
cook!
He gently stabs his side and whispers.
“You don’t seem to be there when I call your name in a place like this.”
To be honest, no one cares about the baron’s nabbing.
Even the Viscount, no one would be interested in Sebas.
“yes. dismissal!”
“Get a map and open it.”
“All right.”
After Sebas occupied this place, he personally found the property of Count Marman.
Of course, we also found a large map.
Whirly Rick!
The map was spread out on the table in the conference room.
Lian searched for memory and took a picture.
A wasteland at the edge of the Marman county.
A land that really doesn’t seem to be needed.
“I… really. You mean there’s a mana stone mine there?!”
“Because it is. If you don’t believe me, go and check it yourself.”
Lian let out in a cheeky tone.
“Let’s go!! real or not.”
“Good. Count Lian. If this is false, we will pay for deceiving us.”
“What if?”
Lian did not avert the eyes of the person who said that.
“that… that is… anyway. That’s what it says. It keeps wasting time.”
“Go and tell me. Everyone brought a wizard or something.”
The observers were high-ranking people, so they must have been accompanied by wizards.
I was determined and told you where the mana stone mine is, so it shouldn’t be difficult to search.
rumble!
Ingleson and Thrang’s observers rushed out of the way.
What if magicite mines really existed? It will be more than enough to repair all the damage suffered in the naval battle.
“lee… Liana. Is it really?”
What surprised me even more was my maternal grandfather, the Count of Artrone.
“Mother. If there is such a thing, I dare to ask for help from our Ebel kingdom… Even if it’s not that, if you do it, you’ll get a huge benefit… … .”
Marquis Wadomabe also had doubts.
There are so many ways to benefit from knowing the location of an unknown manastone mine.
“That sucks.”
“hmm?!”
“What do you mean?”
Lian was familiar with the mana mines there.
A mana stone mine that beginners must fish at least once.
“A year’s worth? If you dig enough, it’s over. The ones under it are of poor quality when you dig them out, so after refining them, they will leave as much margin as a chick’s tears.”
“no. how about that… know.”
“Please think of it as a family secret. Excessive greed will only lead to trouble.”
Beginners pour money like crazy after a mana stone mine is discovered.
When secrets are leaked, wars break out here and there like wildcats.
What if you open the lid of the mine by turning the happy circuit after the huge damage? That happiness ends in one year.
-Ahh. I want to… … .
In the end, novice users who developed mines by force would be game over soon.
Of course, when you start the game again, you can use the can mine appropriately and get benefits.
“What they want is war anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to throw one of them and solidify this land? If the aristocrats sent as representatives from both countries acknowledge it, one thing is certain of its legitimacy.”
At Lian’s words, both the maternal grandfather and the marquis opened their mouths.
Could it be that he ate this land after calculating all these things?
* * *
“It’s real! Really! It’s a mana stone!!”
“A place like this is a mana stone mine?!”
The observers were astounded.
Of course, he was busy urgently conveying the news to his country.
“It is of great purity!”
Wizards on both sides replied that they were not going to lose.
The observers caught their ears in their mouths.
‘You’re not interested in this mine?!’
Is it really true?
Once Lian said that, there was a justification.
“Let’s meet Count Leon.”
“joy!! Let’s do it.”
The airflow of the observers slowly began to deteriorate.
take it here anyway
There will be a war anyway, but the side that is recognized and occupied first will flow in an advantage.
First of all, since Lian has the most troops occupying this area, his words are the law.
Rurr~!
They came to Lian like a race.
As if he knew, Lian prepared the documents.
“Come on. You guys came sooner than expected.”
“Count Leon!! Are you really not interested in that mine?!”
“If it is deception, our empire will never… … .”
“Great. It was like that before. It makes people laugh.”
The representative of the Observers of the Thrang Empire who quietly plucked his eyes when Lian glared at him.
“now. The conditions are simple. My brother gives up the land around the mine. In return, both countries should declare that this is the land of my brother.”
Lian’s words made the observers’ hearts lighter.
In the meantime, I had forgotten that I was giving this land to my younger brother, not to Lian himself, to make him independent.
‘It might have an influence, but what’s the point of not having it directly?’
The burden lessened.
Recognition in the home country would be much faster than if Ryan had this land directly.
no. In the first place, even if they were brothers, it was a law that was difficult to control after they became independent nobles.
I will welcome you with open arms.
“And ensure the safety of this land. It doesn’t matter who takes the mine. if! If you bring soldiers into this land during a battle, you will know it through a declaration of war.”
Ryan said, lowering his voice.
It was the voice of a sonorous child, but it was by no means light.
‘we?!’
That horse had bones.
‘I’ll have to be careful.’
First of all, it was natural for ‘us’ to have three places: Count Leon, Count Fougere, and Count Marman, which now belonged to Lian’s younger brother.
The most annoying is the kingdom of Ybel.
“Don’t worry. Count Leon. Not a single soldier has ever set foot on the land of Ma Man.”
“exactly. We just fight those wicked bastards.”
Everyone was misunderstanding.
The Ybel Kingdom could not afford to participate in this battle right now.
If it was a real mana stone mine, they would participate in the war even if they were forced to, but there was no practical benefit.
It would be much cheaper to have Lian give up this land and give him another land in return.
Nevertheless, the observers.
‘I’m thinking of catching the dry land and handing it over to the Ibel Kingdom.’
‘I have to be careful with the commander again.’
Even if it was a mistake, he could have become a fisherman the moment he entered the land of Maman.
Both sides did not want to participate in the war as much as the kingdom of Ybel.
“now. Everyone sign. Does anyone need permission from their home country?”
“No way. I have been entrusted with full power.”
“Ahem. So do I.”
Observers from both sides were busy signing with their seals.
Although they were counts, they were the central nobility who received some authority from their respective monarchs.
“The date of giving up this land is one week later. After that, take care of yourself.”
“Don’t worry.”
“A bio that salutes your wise decision.”
The observers from both sides left the conference hall with expressions of satisfaction.
It was not enough to have a geodeokji to proceed with the war, which was the original goal, and could even make up for the damage in the naval battle.
If you win the war, some of the credit will come back to you.
– How much trouble did I have to stop the Ibel Kingdom from participating in the war?!
I will play a joke.
Even though he came as a Marquess of the Kingdom of Ybel, the Kingdom of Ybel did not claim ownership of the Mana Stone Mine.
In a way, it was a huge ball.
“Great. It’s scary. It’s dizzying.”
Rian shook his head as he watched the observers go outside.
Because of the presence of mana stone mines, both sides will not give up easily and will pour in their troops.
Of course, in a little while, the war in the Sinsenrom Empire area will also grow… … .
‘There won’t be another world war.’
War will break out on all sides of the Yul continent.
In particular, the Ingleson Kingdom will start to struggle because they have to pay attention to both this place and the Sinsenrom Empire.
‘That’s right. To have Airy Island under my feet.’
Of course, there was no intention to openly occupy and become independent from the Ingleson Kingdom.
Eiley Island is separated from Ingleson by only a narrow strait.
no matter how hard it is Even if Lian is a deceased person. Fighting Ingleson head-on was still burdensome.
Not only Ingleson, but all countries will start to suffer, so there will be no diplomatic battles.
“My grandparents. Shall we go alone?”
Ryan smiled softly.
“that… okay.”
It was Count Artrone who couldn’t adapt to the clumsy Lian’s charms.
