Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

In that sense, the Watcher Crown Prince Lucian…

“I will do my best and loyalty!”

He had been brainwashed to the bone with Merlin’s side.

The small dagger that was sprayed by the Grand Duchy of Redford became the signal for the golden movement.

It wasn’t just limited to the Empire.

The Generium Empire as well as other neighboring countries.

What happened on the Redford estate was first noticed by merchants who were sensitive to rumors and information.

And the merchants who understood the truth of the rumor before anyone else moved quickly, and soon huge amounts of gold began to gather in the Redford estate.

As a result, Redford was experiencing the greatest boom ever since it was established in the north.

As a result, the leaders of the Redford estate were subjected to extreme work and had to spend a busy day without opening their eyes…

Of course, there were those who didn’t.

“Hmm······.”

Merlin’s space on the top floor of the Dwarf Tower.

With only a sofa and a work desk, it was a room that was too small for its size.

There, Merlin sat in a chair on wheels and stared blankly at the ceiling.

“Hmmm…”

Moving the chair back and forth, turning it round and round.

drrr-

A sigh escaped Merlin’s mouth, rolling around in the chair.

“Ah, I’m bored.”

While others were working hard, he was struggling with boredom.

All the production of Sirius was finished, and Kay and the children were running the business related to the dwarves.

Gathering information related to the denomination from all over the continent has not yet yielded any noticeable results.

Even then, Crown Prince Lucian took care of it and reported it, so Merlin didn’t really care.

The work that had been raging like a storm in the past disappeared in an instant.

“Shall we do some water lily…”

I mumbled so much, but I didn’t like it either.

Knotted loops reaching 8 circles.

Merlin’s status quo has come to a standstill again after the last dramatic achievement.

The ninth circle was only one step up from the eighth circle, but it was several tens or hundreds of times more difficult than reaching the 1st to the 8th circle.

I practiced consistently every day, but working harder here didn’t make me any better.

‘What are you doing…’

No matter how much he shook his head, he couldn’t figure out what he ought to do.

At that moment, a small head popped out of Merlin’s arms.

– Dad, are you bored?

When Siri appeared, Merlin wanted to say, ‘Good!’ and grabbed him by the back of his neck.

She then shouted, as she shook the guy.

“Hey, Kainos! I know everything is there! Come out now!”

-crying! Do not!

At Merlin’s meme, Siri swung her hands and fluttered.

Either way, Merlin continued to shake her Ciri.

“Yumma! Come out! How long are you going to be stuck in it?!”

The one Merlin is singing is ‘Kinos, the God of Time’.

He still hasn’t appeared since her last return.

She tried to talk to Merlin several times, but she hadn’t seen her since.

Siri was the only one suffering from it.

– Don’t do it!

Ciri, who had been crying while waving her arms around her, squeaked, and light erupted from her hand.

At the same time, the blade cut across Merlin’s nose.

“Wow! Yumma!”

– Daddy is bad!

Siri took out Excalibur and swung it around, and Merlin was terrified and let him go.

Not stopping there, Siri wielded Excalibur and followed her Merlin.

– Die, you bad devil!

“Hey man! Where do you tell your father to die…! Oops!”

Siri was wandering outside for a while, and it seemed like he picked up something strange again.

-Devil! Receive the sword of judgment!

Ciri, who was obsessed with the game of heroes, pursued Merlin with a flashing sword.

After a while, Merlin, who was booed, put honey chestnut on her Ciri’s head.

“Your son of a bitch!”

-Ouch!

Merlin fed honey chestnuts by hand, not Magic Arrow.

The two’s murmuring ended when Siri grabbed the top of the head and rolled on the floor.

After stopping the quarrel, I feel free to come back again.

Merlin, who had been sitting on the chair for a while, got up from his seat.

“I should go for a walk or come back.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Siri caught up behind him as he hurriedly left the room.

***

Dozens of people in the Grand Siege’s conference room.

The Archduke’s faithful vassals, including Archduke Redford, Sasha, and Knight Commander Leonard.

Winston and Zeppelin, dispatchers and supervisors of the two Marquis, who were responsible for external distribution to the Grand Duchy of Redford.

And Kay, who oversees the Redford business.

Those gathered in the conference room were the backbone of the current Redford.

And the general, who was seated at the very edge, looked around and opened his mouth.

“The final agenda for today’s meeting is dealing with the gang of thieves, which has been on the rise lately.”

The faces of everyone in the meeting were full of fatigue from the day after day of meetings.

Still, he had a bright face at the sound of the last agenda of today’s meeting.

Meanwhile, the general’s voice continued.

“Recently, as the number of merchants flocking to our estates increases, the number of thieves targeting them is also increasing rapidly. Recently, 17 cases were reported for having encountered thieves and stolen money. This is causing merchants to complain of anxiety and dissatisfaction.”

“Huh… our estates seem to have progressed. Thieves are infested! Just a few months ago, I didn’t even go into this neighborhood because I had nothing to confide in! Heh heh.”

“Sir Leonard … is that coming out of your mouth in charge of the policing? And are you laughing? Let’s laugh one more time. As many times as you smile, the gold will come out of your green stick.”

“Hmmmm…”

At the commander-in-chief’s threat, Knight Commander Leonard coughed in vain.

The governor sighed and looked around.

“Whoah… Does anyone have a good opinion on this issue?”

Sasha raised her hand and said.

“Yes, lady.”

“Isn’t it a simple matter? If security is not good, what should be strengthened? Sir Leonard, how many of the guards currently in charge of policing the Grand Duchy are able to afford?”

“Um… that’s it.”

Leonard was displeased with Sasha’s words.

“The security force we are operating right now… So the Knights Templar and the Guard are already at their limits. As the territory has developed, the number of personnel must also be increased… As you know, the Knights Templar and the Guard are not created in one or two years, are they?”

“It is.”

“Although we are working hard to nurture reserve members right now, we still have a long way to go before we can put them into the field. If you increase your work here, there will be a lot of people who will beat you up saying you can’t eat them.”

“Hmmm…”

A soft moan escaped Sasha’s mouth.

She knew exactly what the current Grand Duchess’ problems were.

Although the floating population increased rapidly compared to the development of the territory, the number of people who actually settled in the territory did not increase significantly.

Therefore, various places in the Grand Duchy were complaining of a shortage of manpower.

Winston, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, opened his mouth.

“How about hiring mercenaries?”

“Hmm···.”

The Archduke shook his head at his opinion.

“No.”

“is that so···?”

“If an outsider, not a resident of the territory, takes charge of the security, the anxiety of the existing residents of the territory will increase.”

“Ah···.”

“No matter how much the request is made for financial reasons, to Young Ji-min, mercenaries are just outsiders with armed force. If they entrusted their safety to such outsiders, their anxiety would increase rather than subside.”

At the words of the Grand Duke, this time Zeppelin raised his hand.

“But what’s important right now is not the issue of internal security in the territory, but the outside, isn’t it? Then, how about leaving the existing security forces in charge of policing within the territory and entrusting the external security to the mercenaries?”

“Hmm… that’s not a bad idea.”

Participants in the meeting nodded at Zeppelin’s comments.

The Archduke and General also considered Zeppelin’s opinion to be the best option.

However, one person.

Until Kei, who had been quietly in thought until now, raised his hand.

“there···.”

He had a gentle voice, but the interest poured into him was high.

Although young, he is a key figure in charge of the Redford business.

There he was, Kay, who had a voice similar to that of the Archduke in the conference room, as he had proven himself so far.

Kei opened his mouth in the gaze focused on him.

“Those thieves… just leave them alone.”

“Huh?”

Everyone looked surprised at Kay’s words.

But he didn’t show any disrespect to any of them.

When Sasha’s eyes were asking for an explanation, Kei gave strength to her voice and said.

“There is one thing you forgot.”

“oblivion?”

“Yes.”

The general tilted his head.

Kay smiled at this.

“I think the merchants who come in from outside are important people in this business. We are customers who will buy our products. But . . . one thing we need to be certain of is the value of the things we are selling.”

“value?”

“They want to buy our stuff. Somehow. Isn’t it?”

“···right.”

The archduke nodded his head.

Then Kay took over.

“But what about us? We . . . sell or stop selling. No, to be precise, you don’t have to sell to disgruntled people. because. The items we have are irreplaceable items on the continent.”

Everyone nodded.

The reason that Grand Duchy of Redford was able to develop was because there was only one item on the continent called Dwarf items.

Everyone seemed to agree with him, so Kay cautiously continued.

“If there are people who can’t buy things because of security issues, then it’s enough not to sell them. Even if it’s not them anyway, people are lining up to buy things with extra money.”

“Um, yes, but…”

The Archduke nodded his head cautiously.

Kay was right, but he couldn’t help his disappointment.

Then Kei’s voice continued.

“And another thing to consider is the income structure of the Grand Duchess.”

“What is the income structure of our estate?”

“Our Avalon makes money by selling dwarven items, but isn’t the Redford Spirit making money through those who come to buy it?”

“Ah?!”

At Kay’s words, the general struck him on the knee as if he had realized something.

he cried out in shock.

“Hey, hey! It must have been a disaster!”

“What…?”

Eyes turned to the general.

At this, the commander-in-chief looked at Kay calmly and said:

“Kay is right. Our Grand Duchy of Redford’s main source of income comes from the merchants who come to buy and the money they employ while staying on the estate! Like mercenaries, for example!”

Those who were quick to count at the general’s words realized what he was talking about.

But for someone like Leonard who still didn’t realize, the general continued.

“Since Dwarven items are very expensive, the number of mercenaries hired by merchants is also on the higher side. But if the bandits around the territory disappear and the external security becomes stable…”

That’s what Kay said.

“The merchants will reduce the employment of mercenaries, and the land income will naturally fall.”

“That’s right!”

The superintendent looked at Kay with admiring eyes.

He listened to him, and then he understood.

The recent increase in income earned in the territory was due to the emergence of bands of thieves.

In other words···.

“In order for our estate to become wealthy, we must coexist with thieves.

The Chancellor said so and looked at Kay.

It was as if his story was true.
