84 Episode 82: Selling Names In The King'S Capital
The next day, I came to the king's capital, Chloe.
People and carriages cross cobblestone boulevards.
Spending time in a quiet village, the crowd in Wang Du felt very busy.
I didn't have Megna and Lapisia because I was going on a day trip.
I brought Bailey the Horseman instead.
I took Celica to the Royal Castle.
Meet and negotiate with the king.
- Of course, take a Kaika-style pipe as consideration.
I met with the king during a sight on the second floor of the royal castle. Celica is kneeling behind my oblique rear.
"Long time no see, king"
"Mm-hmm. Since the time of the dragon. I just wanted a report."
- Oh, I forgot.
I deceive myself while scratching my cheek.
"That was just again...... I had a favor to ask you today"
"Well, a wish?
"I've got some useful technology, so I'd like you to acknowledge that in exchange, we're going to spread the name of this technology as a Kaika-style pipe, and we're going to change the name of the village we live in now to Kaika-village."
When I went out in the morning, I was asking the village chief for progress on renaming the village.
They still have loud Vernus crossspears and are difficult to navigate.
- It's just a real pain in the ass for the Demon King's breath.
The king says as he strokes his long beard.
"Hmm. I wouldn't mind a change of name. I'd like to admit, what kind of technology is that?
"This way, sir."
I took out two glass containers with colored water and connected them with clear tubes.
"What's this?
"This is a brief description of the Kaika-style pipe. for running water from top to bottom without the need for power."
"Well, let me ask you more."
A king from the throne to the front. He wondered how much.
I briefly explained. When running water from high to low, if there is a pipe filled with water, even if there is a fault along the way, it flows from top to bottom.
When it stopped, the valve (valve) was used to close the water intake and drain, adding that it could be used again if filled with water inside.
And he explained that it could be used for irrigation of agricultural land.
The king snorts deeply.
"I knew there was such a phenomenon, but I didn't know exactly what it was so far. Let us acknowledge the name of the village as the 'village of Kaika the brave' and pledge to spread it to our country as a 'Kaika-style pipe'"
- All right! That's the king.
Now you don't have to make a huge donation to Vernus to change your name!
I bowed deeply to hide my sniveling face.
"I'm sure the people will be delighted. Thank you, King. However, please note the water intake restrictions"
"What do you mean?
"Too much water from the river can have a huge impact on ecosystems and daily life. Especially dangers to the ship's movement. Take care not to take too much water"
"I see. Yeah, I got it. Let's give it our full attention."
With the king's word, I bowed my head again.
And left the throne room.
While I try to tell you the details again at night.
Then I stepped up the stall for a quick lunch and headed to the slave trader.
To increase manpower in the village.
Celica walking next door was still eating honeyed sweet fried bread.
You're not used to walking while eating, no heart or red cheeks.
"Mogu.... it's sweet and very tasty"
Celica smiles with breadcrumbs next to her adorable lips.
"That's good to hear. - There's breadcrumbs on your face."
"What!? I'm sorry - hi-ha."
Faster than Celica wipes with her fingertips, I took it and ate it.
"I got it."
"Ha... Oh, thank you."
Celica bit. I make my face increasingly bright red and lean down. I hung blonde hair on my cheek.
When attached to the slave trader, he shows [the proof of the brave] and steps inside.
A shady slaver responds while rubbing hands.
"Welcome, brave man. What can I do for you today?
"I'm trying to increase my workforce. Oh, yeah. Do you have any information on the culprits?
"There was... an adult blame was found in the eastern village. But he was attacked by demons while being transported to the king's capital and died."
"Adults are hidden culprits."
"No, he said he was a normal blame. He must have lived in a secluded place."
- Is it also a hiding place in the east, which is basically judged at birth, but beyond the reach of Vernus?
Once in my spare time, I just want to go.
"Well... unfortunately, I can't help it. - Then show me your slaves."
"Yes, this way"
Guided to the back of the building.
There were about ten slaves chained in a dimly sized room about the size of a classroom.
I looked at each slave in the Eye of Truth.
There are four conditional slaves.
He was a teaching farmer to carpenters, maids and warriors. Talent likely to be of immediate use.
There are six unconditional slaves. There was a man who seemed powerful or a clever woman at his fingertips.
The man in the alum was still there. There was one more bandit. Only these guys are out of the question.
"Right. Shall I have them all, except these two? How much will that cost?
"Whoa, that's brave man! Eight people in total will make 154 big gold coins"
- That's expensive.
I thought about onions for a moment, but last time, I just remembered I picked them up the same and decided to buy them in words.
"Celica, how much do you have now?
"Is it about 80 pieces in large gold coins..."
"Then put 54 down payment. I'll have the rest delivered later."
"Oh. Are you sure it doesn't have to be worth the price?
"You want to go out of business?
"Not at all. The brave man is asking for a discount of about 40 pieces first and a hundred more."
I guess there's also a stopping fee for what happened before (I put the demon in the king's capital).
I nodded to Eagle Deep Fried.
"Okay. So, please."
We went through the process and took the slaves outside.
In the sun after noon, I said.
"Come on, I'll get you guys to help Kaika Village. Each place of work should ask Clarissa, the slave chief."
"" Yes, brave man ""
Some women looked anxious because they made bulk purchases.
In the meantime, I asked Bailey to tailor my carriage and take me to the village.
Says Celica as she drops off the carriage.
"Aren't you coming home with me?
"I've got a little errand to run. Let's go to my father's shop."
"Yes."
I walked down the main street to Kimmelik's shop.
My father's shop was as popular as ever after noon.
Lionel greets the boy with an unusual grin.
"Welcome - please go to the counter"
Be guided to the counter with sophisticated movements.
My father came out of the kitchen and said:
"Ooh, Kaika. That's unusual, just the two of us?
"Oh, I'm in a bit of a hurry. I'm staying."
says Lionel.
Then I'll get you a room.
"I asked."
I fluttered my blonde hair and went up the stairs.
My father says as he serves tea.
"What are you doing here?
"Meet the king. I bought another slave. Tell them to deliver a hundred large gold coins when Dride arrives."
"Again. Did you even build a mansion?"
I need help in the village.
"Hell, I'm hearing rumors. He said he'd do something funny."
"Spread my name more."
"That's good, but don't make me want to go once"
"You're right now. Well, I'll call you when I can."
"It's what you do. I'm looking forward to it."
My father grinned niggardly as he stroked his mowed short beard.
Lionel is back.
We're ready, Mr. Kaika.
"Thanks."
I took Celica to my room.
The same as usual, large room in the corner room on the third floor.
I have a king size bed.
"Do you use this room other than us?"
"Come on, what do you think? If that's the case, maybe the original nights are expensive."
I said as I looked at the bed.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been alone with Celica."
"Ah... eh. Right."
Celica blushed her cheeks and turned that way.
Sit back on the bed. Celica sat next to her.
"It was only a few months ago, wasn't it? Meet Celica by chance and be a brave man..."
"Yes... Kaika you are amazing"
"One more thing to do - increase the number of believers, build the Holy Sword, build the ship, reclaim the fairy kingdom, free the Beastman, reclaim Edelstein, defeat the Demon King. It's a long way to go, considering that."
"It's okay. I'm sure Kaika can do it. I'll help you whisper."
"I'm counting on you the most."
"Yes."
Celica narrowed her blue eyes and smiled.
- Let's do it one at a time.
Watching her smile made me feel like I could still work on it.
