66 – Episode 66 Dreaming of Heaven
The Paonia family is noble.
They live in the Vampire Territory.
Because of these two things,
There wasn’t much I could do.
So…
I went to find someone who could help me.
Bukbuk direction.
Alencia Unit.
Command barracks.
With Alencia sitting in her chair,
He welcomed me.
“I heard some unfortunate news. “No, is this good news for you?”
The first word spoken was Brilda.
She also knows my situation, so she seems confused about what to say.
“The funeral ended safely. And is it possible to do what I asked you to do?”
Let’s skip the story about Brilda,
I got to the point.
The place where my influence extends is the Frontier Territory.
Even if the status of a minor lord is confirmed, he cannot be active in the Dukedom of Vampires.
That’s why she asked Alencia for help.
Please punish the Paonia family.
But.
Alencia’s expression was not good.
“It is not easy for a country to touch a noble family.”
I thought it would be possible with Alencia.
But it seems difficult.
Nobles fight well among themselves.
They argue often and fight violently.
But when a noble family is actually persecuted, they raise their hands and oppose it.
There is an implicit rule that the authority of nobles must be maintained.
This is because they believe that if the rule is broken, they themselves are at risk.
“You can’t criticize a noble family based on sentiment alone without physical evidence. “As you know, my situation is not favorable.”
As the second princess, Alencia is competing for succession.
The support of her nobility and the loyalty of her vassals were essential to her.
“However, the resistance was stronger than expected. “Someone may have had a hand in it.”
“Is that so…”
It seemed like Paonia intervened.
But we can’t leave it like this.
“Can I ask you one more favor?”
Alencia looked down and crossed her legs in the opposite direction.
She then rested her chin on her hand.
“What is it?”
“The Paonia family is in an unusual situation. “Would you please watch them together?”
“Of course.”
She raised her head while kneeling on one knee.
Are you not expecting anything in return?
“Are those words… the end?”
“Why? “What should I say?”
“No.”
After finishing the conversation,
She took out the letter in her arms.
“Thanks to you, I was able to chase down the upper raider.”
Alencia received her letter and placed it next to her.
“And this too…”
The second item taken out was a luxury box.
It contains Alencia’s ring.
With her down on one knee,
She stretched out her hand and handed me the box.
But she didn’t accept it.
Instead, she stretched out her hand.
Towards me.
“What are you doing?”
“Yes…?”
“I took off the ring and lent it to you, so shouldn’t you restore it to its original state?”
I opened the box and took out a ring.
She supported Alencia’s hand with one of her hands.
And then he put the ring on his other hand.
She seemed to be finally satisfied and straightened her posture.
“So, I guess I helped a lot?”
I knew this would come out.
After breaking off our engagement, Alencia and I took turns helping each other.
“Do you have a favor to ask?”
“I want to buy a ballista.”
Is this a request?
If you buy it for me, I would welcome it.
“Tell us how much you need and we will deliver it.”
“Good. “I will let you know after the meeting with my vassals.”
After the conversation,
From Noble mtl dot com
I left the commander barracks.
‘This world is definitely a good place to do business.’
The Earth had more production than demand.
Because of this, even if you make something, it is difficult to sell it.
Hiring expensive celebrities to shoot commercials,
Ask a famous star to post something on SNS.
And so on…
But here it is the opposite.
Production could not keep up with demand.
Demand was formed in line with production.
‘Plus, it’s a strategic item, so if you use it…’
Leaving the Alencia unit,
The next place we visited was the Benia unit.
“Why did you come here, Elwin?”
There was a thorn in Benia’s gentle words.
This is because Alencia was superior in this successor competition.
Because I stood by her side.
“I have a suggestion.”
“It’s a proposition for me… Shall we listen to it?”
Alencia stood up from her seat.
Then he personally pulled out the chair across from her.
“I will sell you a ballista.”
She said, not that she wanted to sell, but that she would sell.
That’s how much of an advantage I had in this transaction.
“Do you have any conditions?”
“I will give it to you at the same price as selling it to Alencia. But…”
“Just?”
Benia leaned her upper body forward slightly.
This may be proof that you are interested in this conversation.
“Please monitor the Paonia family.”
I plan to make the Paonia guys unable to do anything.
Me and Alencia and Benia.
If the remaining baron lords join forces,
Paonia can’t do anything.
Because all people and goods in Ireland are directly or indirectly connected to us.
It was like a dense net that covered the whole of Ireland.
“Are those all the conditions?”
“Yes, just be sure.”
Benia paused for a moment and pretended to think.
She wasn’t worried about that look.
She will accept this deal.
Ballista is a backward compatibility of the wizard.
It has low firepower and is inconvenient to operate.
However, there is an advantage that goes beyond this.
Exactly. Volume.
She proved her solid performance in the northern subjugation war.
Because our unit without knights and wizards did well against the ogres.
Benia seemed to have finished her worries and opened her mouth.
“Okay. “I would like to buy it.”
“Thank you. “Let’s write a contract right away.”
With this, the Ballista supply contract with Alencia and Benia has been concluded.
Contracts with the remaining small lords were easier.
This is because the contract has already been concluded with the princesses who are the leaders.
Thanks to my diligent travel around the northern battlefield, I obtained five supply contracts.
“How much money does this cost?”
I have no intention of controlling the supply of ballistas like the high-ranking nobles on the continent.
We will produce iron by maximizing the workshop.
There are many advantages to doing this.
1) You can get a huge amount of money from selling ballista.
The price was set lower than that of the Continental Ballista.
Even so, a big mistake remains. This is because the existing price was very expensive.
2) Monster Island becomes safer.
Ireland is a market for me.
It would be a great benefit if the market becomes safer and further grows.
3) The more you use the ballista, the greater the demand for large arrows, which are consumables.
Of course, we plan to produce and sell large arrows in Iron.
Finally, omnidirectional surveillance of Paonia.
“Just take one. “I will sweep it all away.”

Underground passage.
Brown Paonia walked there.
I arrived at the end of the long passage.
There is a door there,
Two knights were guarding the door.
The knight’s armor has a moon shape drawn on it.
This is a pattern that cannot be seen in Ireland.
After the driver finished searching the body,
The door was opened.
When the door opened,
A huge stone chamber was revealed.
The interior was full of religious items.
And then the priest in the center stood up.
“You are here.”
Brown bowed her head and apologized.
“I’m sorry that things happened like this.”
The priest waved her hand as if it was okay.
“You can make mistakes. “You just have to work hard to make up for this.”
“The situation is not good.”
The priest’s expression hardened.
“What do you mean? “I covered this up, right?”
“The Paonia family is being watched.”
“Is it because of Elwin? In that case, please work in another area first.”
This time, I answered skeptically.
“That’s not possible either. 2Nd princess…”
“Elwin and Alencia are close. If so, use the opposition.”
Brown found the right word.
Because I had to speak negatively three times in a row.
“It’s not just Alencia. “Even Benia and the three baron lords are watching Paonia.”
“Does that make sense? “Two opposing forces join forces to monitor each other?”
I forced myself to sigh.
What can we do when something unbelievable happens?
“It is said that Elwin personally visited the small lords and persuaded them.”
Silence fell in the stone room.
While 3 minutes have passed,
The heavy air pressured Brown.
The silence was broken when the priest opened his mouth.
“50 Years. “For over 50 years, the denomination has devoted its efforts to Ireland.”
“I’m sorry.”
Monster Island is called the tomb of religious people.
There is no temple here.
There is no fuse.
It’s because of the trauma from 300 years ago.
The foundation was laid 50 years ago in this religiously barren place.
To spread religion in Ireland at once.
So that other denominations do not have time to do anything.
“We don’t have much time.”
Originally, we can prepare for 100 years, not 50 years.
If only we could transfer the whole of Ireland to our religion…
But one variable was created.
The Frontier Little Lord met the Earth Goddess.
With the blessing of her goddess, she began farming on Monster Island.
Then, they built a village and built a temple to the Earth Goddess in the center.
It is also a huge temple that does not fit the size of the village.
“But not now. “Every small lord in Ireland has his eyes lit up.”
“I can’t give you much time. “We cannot allow Ireland to be lost to another denomination like this.”
“We will find a solution as quickly as possible.”
After the conversation,
I left the stone chamber.
‘What should I do?’
People on the continent have a prejudice against Ireland.
The reason we were able to close this case was not because our informant was better than the hunter.
This is because the traces were erased with the feeling of cutting off limbs.
The situation is worse now.
Because major powers in Ireland, including Elwynn, are watching him.
‘It’s as dangerous as if you’re already standing on a cliff. ‘Do you mean to walk forward?’
I urge you from behind,
In front of you, a monster named Elwin opens its mouth.
‘How did Paonia end up like this?’
