Chapter 167 – Chapter 167 ― I Got a Life Without Knowing It (5)
Episode 167 ― I got a life without knowing it (5)
The Count, who received the magic orb, inserted the magic orb into the machine.
The screen of the magic ball began to be projected. The East Hwangryeongju opened its eyes wide, but it is a function that is familiar to people living in modern times.
“Um, good. With this, you are ready! Aha!”
While the count was finishing preparations for the meeting, the lords began to enter the conference room one by one.
I wonder if it’s a territory near Basel,
It is not easy to get to Basel from remote places in the Southern Heukryeong or Northern Baekryung.
A month if you ride a carriage,
The distance you need in weeks even if you run on a fast ker.
Urgently and deliberately summoning them to the capital, who had gathered only three months ago, means that they have an important business.
“What are you going to do?”
“I heard that the Count of the North White Coat recently experimented with something while staying in the imperial castle.”
“I heard rumors that His Majesty went to the Eastern Emperor.”
Rumors spread over the muffled voice.
Without listening,
The Grand Duke of Darkness, who had been seated before he knew it, buried himself in his chair and looked around.
The thing in front of the desk is a magic tool.
The only people who could use something like that were counts and some lords.
Having something to announce at the meeting means that the result of what he was doing in the imperial castle came out.
It was also said that the emperor personally went to the Eastern Hwangryeong. I couldn’t tell exactly what he was doing, but it didn’t seem like he stayed for a short period of time.
There was a saying that humans stayed in Donghwangryeong to teach farming.
‘In a dying land, by the way.’
Swin Lake, the central city of the Southern Dark Territory, is not far from Laju of the Eastern Emperor.
The malice you feel if you go a little northeast.
The Grand Duke of the Southern Dark Spirit was also an excellent swordsman, but he was as well versed in curses and demonic arts as his daughter, Eleanor.
The Grand Duke knew that the malice that was said to be sealed away in a distant land could devastate the land.
‘There’s no point in asking the duke.’
The Duke of the Eastern Emperor, who has been sitting since long ago, is busy talking with her aides and officials without turning her head to the surroundings.
Rather than being loyal to the Emperor,
He is a man who is faithful to his position.
The present when the Emperor makes no faults
It would be difficult to get information about him.
After West Blood Lord, who always arrives early for some reason, hurriedly entered the room just before the meeting started, Roan entered the conference room.
Discussions on several important issues immediately began.
And as soon as they’re done,
The chancellor said that he had an important announcement, and was out of luck.
Now, to the point.
The attention of the lord, officials, and nobles of Evirgio was focused on Roan.
Roan inhaled and rose from the throne.
The demon king’s wonderful shell made him look calm even in tense situations,
The thrill I was feeling right now seemed inseparable.
Roan’s hand trembled slightly.
I am.
It has already changed everyone’s life.
Will change
The four members of the small group looked at the emperor and smiled lightly.
The great lords of the east and west nodded their heads, and the count of Baengnyeong in the north flicked his elongated tail from side to side as if amused.
“Since spring, our Evirzio is heading towards a new goal.”
A powerful voice filled the conference room.
Then there was the first bombshell declaration.
“In the future, we plan to farm not only in the Southern Heukryeong, but also in the Eastern Hwangryeong and Seohyeolryeong. Jim will give full support to clearing and farming.”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
There was no sound, but a quiet tumult swept through the conference room like a wave.
“We will create forests in the dry Donghwangryeong and expand farmland around the border area of Seohyeolryeong and Laju.
We plan to pass on technology to supplement intellectual power and increase production to Namheukryeong, which already makes farming their main business.”
The lords of the Southern Dark Spirit looked at the face of the Grand Duke of Darkness as if seeking an answer, but the Grand Duke just glared at the emperor with his eyes wide open.
“Bukbaekryeong is a place where arable land is scarce. We plan to support the commerce of Northern Baengnyeong to develop its resources and expand trade with other countries.”
A major overhaul of the country’s industry.
However, the premise of this policy was the possibility of farming in Evirgio.
Something that has hitherto been impossible.
Still, no one dared to ask questions.
Besides, the emperor’s words were not over yet.
“Trade is with human nations. Starting with Arteala, which has already started trading with us, and beyond, Perielle and the small country of Kihan are the objects of trade.”
The sound of a chair tipping over was heard as someone lifted it up.
The cry, which they dared not burst out in front of the emperor, boiled the nobles like a volcano on the verge of an explosion.
Roan was fully informed of that feeling.
‘There are still more. Hmm.’
It must have been a shocking announcement.
If there is no explanation, it will be bleak.
So, Roan added as if breathing heavily.
“The Count will continue to explain in detail. And one more thing.”
Roan looked around at the demons who held their breath.
“We intend to accept human immigration in the future. Human protection is guaranteed by both law and force, and at this time, we plan to prepare supplementary measures for public security nationwide.”
“!”
This time the wave was great.
The Grand Duke of Darkness, who had been staring at the emperor with a sinister expression, finally stood up.
His shrill voice broke the silence.
“Your majesty. I ask for an explanation.”
“It is literally. We intend to accept humans who want to settle down in Evirgio.”
“Man is our enemy.”
“If necessary, learn from the enemy as well.”
Roan’s low voice and the sharp voice of the Grand Duke collided as if they were competing for strength.
It’s easy to crush him with skills.
But there is no need for that.
Because Roan already has enough logic.
It is a cause for that, and a precedent for that.
All the traces Roan had walked so far served as the basis.
“You must have seen humans wandering around the capital and the castle. They are not monsters Just like we’re not monsters. The battlefield was a place where monsters were created, and we were the predators that ate them. But there is no need to have such a relationship anymore. Because we can farm.”
“Isn’t the premise wrong?”
“I understand that this is hard to believe. If you wait a little bit, the cancer anti-cancer will explain. We need humans.”
Roan’s eyes narrowed.
“It may be difficult to accept in the relaxed Southern Dark Spirit. Unlike other places, you have been farming since the beginning. However, the situation in other large estates is a bit different.”
I had already anticipated this objection.
So Roan’s answer was very calm.
“We don’t have enough hands. It is difficult for the demons alone to handle the land in the east and west, where they are first expanding their farmland. When humans start to come, the labor problem and the technical problem caused by not being accustomed to farming will be solved.”
And Roan looked around at all the nobles who were listening to the conversation between him and the Southern Dark Spirit.
“Also, there are unique skills that only humans have. If there is a chance to suck it up, there is no reason to avoid it, of course. We are stronger than them. Is there no need to be afraid?”
And Roan, as if provoking,
He smiled lightly.
“Or do you not have the courage to accept the unfamiliar?”
An eye light shone in the red eyes of the Dark Lord of the South.
He spoke in a cold voice like a pale face.
“Your majesty. The virtue of familiarity is a sense of stability that has been verified over time. We have been eating and killing humans until recently. The people will be confused by the people who suddenly jump into society.”
“You must have seen it too. Demons and humans work together in the castle.”
“They were prisoners. Those who were as good as dead have survived thanks to His Majesty’s mercy. Aren’t your circumstances different?”
“Well, do you really care about the people? According to my experience, people don’t seem to care as much about whether the humans want to immigrate voluntarily or if they are prisoners of war. If it helps getting into my mouth. “
Roan shrugged his shoulders.
“And I don’t think that would be much different for you nobles.”
The emperor is right.
In fact, as long as each of them can increase their own boat and do not harm anyone, it is not a matter of much concern whether there are humans or demons next to them.
Except for the south, the east, west and north lands are starving places. You might want to accept the hopeful observations contained in the Emperor’s words as if they were the truth.
Only the lords of the Southern Dark Spirit,
It is difficult to silence public opinion in the other three territories.
The Southern Dark Spirit Master, who was about to open his mouth more, sat down with his head bowed as if admitting defeat.
‘Attracting humans!’
Of course, there is no way that a sane human would just walk into the land of demons.
But the emperor clearly has a plan.
Like this surprise announcement.
And even if not overnight
When humans gradually set foot on this land.
Naturally, the power of the gods they serve will gradually take over Evirgio.
The Grand Duke frowned at him.
The lords and officials close to him who looked at his uncomfortable expression held their breath and began to listen to the explanation of the earl who succeeded the emperor.
“Ugh. First of all, I am very happy to be able to stand here thanks to the great glory of His Majesty!”
The eccentric Count of Baekryung in the North bowed deeply toward his throne and greeted him.
The lords were agitated once again.
The count they knew was someone who didn’t say such candy-coated words or greeted anyone properly.
However, the emperor merely nodded his head lightly, as if it were natural.
Then the Count’s presentation began.
The magic tool that projected the image stored in the magic sphere on a super-large scale so that everyone could see it was no longer a surprise.
The Count was slightly depressed, but
Seeing the faces of people who were surprised by his announcement soon followed, he became happy again.
A powder that raises intelligence in some way.
A powder that the Count named ‘Astor’ after an ancient word.
The magical substance, which comes from unknown sources, prevents the land from decaying and brings life to the barren land.
The dubious nobles were shocked to see the video of the greenhouse shown by the Count.
“We have already succeeded in the cultivation experiment in Eastern Huangling.”
Now the conference room was filled with buzz like a beehive.
Although the Eastern Emperor received the complex gazes of some of the lords around him, he did not budge and kept his eyes on the screen the Count had been playing.
And the long theory explanation of the count continued.
Some of the wizard-born nobles had their eyes shining, but most of the nobles were exhausted with tired expressions.
The Emperor had mercy.
“Cancer antibiotics. We need to wrap up our talk about the bill today to get a tour of the greenhouse before the sun goes down. If you don’t mind, why don’t you accept applicants later and continue your presentation?”
The count’s ears drooped,
Lilon scratched his jawbone with his fingers a few times, as if regretting it. However, the count accepted the emperor’s order with a surprisingly mature attitude.
“All right. Your majesty.”
The lords of Northern Baengnyeong, who knew the count’s usual behavior, were agitated once again.
The Count is a man who, if he wants to, somehow does it to the end. There’s no way he’d back off so neatly?
And they finally got a 10-minute break.
While the emperor disappeared for a while.
The conference hall began to boil in an instant.
The emotions that had been suppressed so far became all sorts of chaos and started to explode.
Question.
“Where did you come up with such nonsense?”
Resentment.
“No matter how great the lord is, he hides such an amazing story.”
Hope.
“Are you really going to be able to till the ground? It’s hard to believe when you see it!”
And anger.
“What do you mean by lending a hand to humans!”
Emotions clashed and voices rose.
“Your territory is in the south! Your Majesty is right. The war has already reduced the number of people in our territory! If a human comes to help, we are welcome!”
“Have you not seen their ferocity on the front line!”
And it was a word from the Grand Duke of Darkness that miraculously resolved the mayhem right before the emperor re-entered the room.
“… Increasing yield is important. If His Majesty said such a thing to the extent that it was guaranteed, then there must be a basis. Let’s see.”
“High lord?!”
The lord and officials from the Southern Black Spirit were unexpectedly surprised by the words and looked at the great lord with bewildered eyes.
But the high lord was silent again,
I stared blankly at Roan as he entered the conference room to finish the meeting the other day, then lowered my head like the other lords.
