165. A dwarf named Logger
Take away craftsmanship and skill?
Berger smirked. It was really, really, really absurd bullshit.
“Explain slowly and in detail.”
so I can understand.
『This morning, an executive from the top of the Black Toad made a formal visit to the top.」
The officer accompanied by the escort arrogantly requested a private meeting with Aman, but Aman was busy with other work at the time, so Jettson took over.
“At first, I didn’t even know why I came.”
I guessed he was trying to buy a magic cannon, but frankly, it was nonsense.
This is because the black toad top was a target group to supply the Imperial Army with dozens of workshops.
The number of magic cannons they created exceeded a thousand gates.
But the magic cannon was right. Of course I didn’t buy it.
* * *
“The top stock doesn’t appear. Is this the meaning of the golden moon?”
“Isn’t it funny that the top stock didn’t come out on that one too?”
“Do you think a golden moon is like a black toad?”
“It’s the same ‘top’.”
“…well, that’s it. I’ll hear it straight from you anyway.”
An executive at the top of the Black Toad elaborately explained why he had visited the top of the Golden Moon.
Jetson frowned.
“I don’t understand, so what did you say now?”
“They say that the rights to those magic cannons are at the top of the bone.”
He twisted a mustache that resembled a mouse.
Jetson snorted.
“That’s a funny thing. If not, I own all the rights on that top.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“If we covet other people’s things for no reason, aren’t we equally greedy?”
“We are claiming our right to be stolen!”
“So that’s bullshit.”
“Dog, dog whistle?”
“Magic guns are self-made items in the upper workshop, and they have also been notarized by the Iasin royal family.”
“Hey, it’s notarized by the royal family, isn’t it?”
“At least it’s more expensive than yours. Isn’t there any effort other than a little bit of saliva coming out?”
“Is this the answer from the top of the golden moon?”
“We always treat each other with respect. Be courteous to those who are polite, and nonsense to those who speak nonsense.”
“The person at the top, called the executive, is so vulgar.”
“Anyway, since I came out against you, isn’t it natural?”
“This author…!”
The executive, who had been timid at Jetson’s words, struggled to catch his breath and continued.
“The magic cannon was made in-house in the workshop? Don’t you think that’s the problem?”
“I don’t, though.”
“Those who are in that fancy workshop are the craftsmen of the top! Those who belonged to the upper workshop and disappeared about half a year ago!”
“ha.”
Jetson let out a deep sigh.
“The craftsmen of the workshop are selected only from the craftsmen of Iasin, and their identity is also certain through cross-validation. There are all voluntary volunteers, what nonsense.”
Jettson was also partly involved, so I knew it well.
“You could argue that.”
“Are you forced to answer by force again?”
“Really? In the Golden Moon, you really have a swindler as an executive. From the top of the golden moon, we took out the top artisans that we saw clearly.”
“Well, let’s hear the story first.”
Jetson crossed his legs and pushed his back behind him. He shrugged his shoulders, as if to try it to the end.
“Half a year ago, some of the craftsmen of the royal workshop disappeared without a word. The workshop had been looking for them for a long time, but could not find them.”
“Hey, did you?”
“But suddenly, at the top of the golden moon, they made a workshop and started making and selling magic cannons. The top had nothing to do with the magic cannon.”
“So it must have been that the top craftsmen there had been kidnapped. What is this story?”
“you’re right.”
“What is this, the giant top isn’t even a scumbag. How is it that you are being forced to do so?”
“Are you done talking now?”
“I did less.”
Jettson slowly savored the aroma of coffee.
“Magic guns are not made because we want to make them so easy. It’s even worse that a single top with no foundation can be developed in just a few months.”
“What if we didn’t take out the craftsmen who were involved in the production of the magic cannon from the beginning?”
“Now we can have a conversation.”
“From that point of view, all the magic cannons in the world belong to the Werft Kingdom, so you must have stolen too, right?”
“I won’t fall for puns anymore.”
“Who knows? Maybe you just abused the artisans and ran away.”
“Are you going to deny it to the end?”
“It’s not a denial, it’s a fact.”
The executive at the top of the black toad sharpened his teeth.
“good. I will formally request confirmation of all the workshops and artisans at the top of the Golden Moon.”
“under? Look at this. This is not your top, whoever wants it.”
“The official letter must have already gone from the Empire to the Iasin Kingdom.”
Before long, the knights of the Iasin Kingdom visited the top. They told me to show my studio and prove my innocence.
Eventually, Jettson’s line couldn’t handle it, and Aman had no choice but to accept.
“···good. But if that’s not true, you’ll have to pay a fair price.”
“of course.”
Aman was himself.
It was less than a few months after recruiting artisans and building workshops in the first place, and all of them cross-verified their identities to be sure.
And above all else, the magic cannon itself was not made in the workshop, but was received from Berge.
As the workshop itself was to match the assortment, there was no such thing as a craftsman in charge of the core technology of the magic cannon.
However.
“Come on, Gallio-sama!”
“It’s Galio-sama…!”
Those who recognized the officers on the top of the Black Toad were obviously among the craftsmen of the Iasians. I thought so.
“One day, when I opened my eyes, I was in this place…….”
The one who claimed to have been kidnapped in tears was the artisan who applied for burying the bones at the top of the golden moon.
“There is. Our top craftsmen.”
The black toad’s top executive, Galio’s eyes sank coldly.
“No, why are these people here?”
Jetson averted his gaze. Aman answered with a hardened face.
“They are the people of Jaas who voluntarily applied to the top. Something is wrong…”
“They kidnapped us!”
“He threatened to kill me if I didn’t bring out my magic cannon crafting skills!”
“You greedy scammers!”
“That’s right.”
Would you still deny this?
“This is something strange!”
“Obviously, I checked it too, but it’s like this…”
“You don’t need excuses. I have received two letters from the top state. One is a letter that formally apologizes and promises to pay if our claims are wrong.”
But it’s no longer necessary.
chock-
A letter fell to shreds.
“And the other is what you should do if our claims are true.”
The letter was delivered to Aman. As he opened the letter, Gallio recited the contents of the letter.
“First, return the abducted artisans.”
“Second, in order to prevent technology leakage, all craftsmen who have learned the art of making magic cannons will be handed over to the top of the Black Toad.”
“Third, compensation for damage should be paid to the top and craftsmen who suffered damage from this.”
“Fourth, return all the magic cannons made with the above technology and the second gate earned by selling the magic cannon to the original top.”
it’s over
“If you refuse, this top will be ready to use force, so I believe you will make a wise choice.”
Also keep in mind that there is an empire behind the top of this top.
Aman’s complexion turned pale.
* * *
“…that’s how it happened.”
“…it’s crazy.”
“It’s like a well-designed trap.”
Berger nodded at the words of Ernap, who had been listening together.
When recruiting artisans at the top of the golden moon, they secretly put spies in and made them expose.
“When recruiting artisans and setting up a workshop at the top of the Golden Moon, the magic cannon was not even released.”
All he had to do was tell Aman that he would send the magic cannons only verbally.
“This is a deliberate attempt to break down the top of the golden moon.”
“What’s wrong with the top of the black toad?”
“We need to figure that out now. I need time.”
Berger nodded.
“First, find out more about those craftsmen. Sending people to the nobles and royal families to ask for help.”
“Yes. I will do that.”
I replied that way, but everyone in the room knew it.
That it wouldn’t be so easy to get help from Iasin.
And that big dams naturally collapse in one small hole.
* * *
The beginning was the royal family of Iasin.
“If I had known that the Golden Moon Top had used such a dishonest method, I would not have invested in it in the first place.”
“You are mistaken! We are embarrassed!”
“The evidence is clear. No need for long words. Your Majesty the Prince wants you to recover all your investment.”
First, the investment money of the Iasin royal family was withdrawn.
When the royal family broke their hands, other investors one after another also demanded repayment of their investment.
“Give me a little bit more time! I will definitely get rid of the false accusations!”
“The Empire is going away, what are the accusations, please return the money.”
“Sir Count!”
“Let go of this!”

Money began to flow out like a low tide, and I had to sort out the businesses I had opened up to pay off my investment.Naturally, the fear grew even greater and spread beyond the executives to the employees.
The upper part of the business was almost paralyzed, and he was exhausted day by day from the debt.
Fortunately, Hilderan did not ask for the investment back.
But most people thought.
It’s just a little late, and that timing will be the moment when the top of the golden moon collapses.
* * *
“Are you sure you didn’t do that?”
“Of course, my lord. If I had been at the top, I would have come first.”
“What happened to the false magic cannon? Magic cannons are not something that can be crafted very quickly.”
“···majesty. Can you swear that from now on you will not tell anyone what I am saying?”
“…seems like there’s something there.”
“It doesn’t make any sense for the top, without any foundation, to build a magic cannon in just a few months, as your Highness said. But if there is something, won’t it change?”
“You mean you’re going to tell me?”
“If Your Majesty can help me, I can do that.”
『············.”
The answer came a long time later.
“It’s your brother’s job.”
“What if… your brother?”
“The top of the black toad belongs to the Osrian duke.”
“As far as the Osrian Duke family fully supports you, it is safe to say that this is your will.”
“··········!”
“···why?”
“Your brother was particularly interested in you. Do you remember?”
“…is that just that?”
“You probably didn’t like the fact that you were closer to me. He ate the top of the table and saw a huge profit.”

Martin muttered.“If I help the Golden Moon top, it means that I have to fight in earnest with my brother. Are your secrets worth it?”
“there is.”
“I have no worries.”
“Because you don’t have to. I could put the name of Hillen Cargill on it.”
『Your name is very expensive…』

Martin was silent again. After a while, he opened his mouth.“There is no reason for you to speak nonsense to me.”
“Good. If the secret is valid as you say, I will help you.”
“thank you!”
“It has not been decided yet. So, what is the secret?”
Hillen carefully lowered his voice. Martin swallowed dry saliva involuntarily in the atmosphere that was getting rather heavy.
and.
“Your Majesty, do you know a dwarf called Logger who made the continent a tumultuous moment?”
『··············!
