Chapter 7 The world is mother-in-law
"Actually, my soul is that little bit of kindness, right?"
The mother-in-law Hazama in front of him narrowed her fox eyes and looked at Ariel.
Kindness?
Let's not talk about whether Hazama's soul is kind or not, but just looking at your squinting eyes and smiling strangely about your kind expression, Ariel doesn't think she's a good person.
"Well, if you don't believe me, I'll go find someone else. Seeing that Ariel obviously didn't believe in herself, Hazama simply didn't force it, and turned around to leave.
"It's strange, why doesn't anyone believe me?"
Who would believe you?
"Stop. Ariel suddenly stood in the way of Hazama, "Who allowed you to go casually." ”
"You don't believe me, I'm not leaving, do you want to stay here and eat eggs?" asked Hazama with an innocent face.
“...... It's not unbelief. After thinking about it, Ariel came up with a solution, "You and I go to Alice's once, and if she says that you are kind, then I will believe it." ”
Unsure whether the person in front of her is good or bad, Ariel is not willing to listen to her casually.
"That woman!" Hazama had a strange expression on her face as soon as she heard Alice's name, and she didn't know what the hatred was between them.
"No, I'm not going to ......"
"Then we don't have to talk about it. ”
"Hey, wait, wait, wait. Don't take a knife, it's dangerous. Hazama hurriedly called, "That's it, I'll give you some information first." You don't have anything to lose anyway. ”
"Intelligence, what information?"
"That's where the other soul fragments are. "As far as I know, a large one exists on a small island, but because it's dark around it, I don't see anything. ”
"The second, slightly smaller one, exists in the Continent of the Undead. But I don't know exactly where it is. ”
You just don't know anything.
But does that Yuri really have anything to do with the undead? But why did he tell himself to be careful of Hazama, or was he fighting that Hazama too?
"Anything else. Hazama's fox eyes rolled, "I have to wait until you believe me before I tell you, you are looking for them anyway, I will provide information, how about you help me solve it?"
Isn't this just using yourself as a thug?
"Not very good. ”
That's it. Ariel didn't plan to bother with this strange Hazama either, she didn't know her depth yet, so it was better not to attack rashly.
"Anyway, I'm leaving, you go slowly. ”
"Hey, why don't people trust others so much now?" Hazama sighed as he looked at Ariel's departing figure, "However, one day you will find me." ”
―――――――――――――――――― cutting ――――――――――――――――――――
After telling Vivien about it, Ariel, who had been promised, was finally able to go to Chris with peace of mind.
As for the reason why she was going there.
Ground breaks in the Orcs. It always costs money.
Although she has a little savings, Ariel is not noble enough to use her own money to finance the construction.
Since the orcs are almost the territory of the empire, of course the emperor has to pay for the construction?
He's not short of money anyway.
At this moment, Ariel's eyes are staring at Chris, and she doesn't have the attitude that borrowing money should have.
But that made Chris a little nervous.
"Now, Chris, I'm looking for you. ”
Are you sure this is the attitude of asking someone to borrow money?
"What, what's the matter. ”
"Lend me some money. ”
"Borrow money?" Chris was stunned. Ariel doesn't seem to be short of money, could it be that she wants to be of some other use?
But it seems that it is a bit bad to ask yourself.
"That. How much?"
Although I don't have much money, it should still be enough for Ariel.
"That. Let me think. ”
The issue of land can not be considered, that is originally their own, the key is the money for materials and the money for workers.
"Well, almost, tens of millions or so. ”
“...... Tens of millions?"
Chris was taken aback instantly.
Is Ariel going to build a magic tower?
It's okay to be within a million yourself. But by all means...... We're going to have to use the treasury.
"Well, Ariel, where does the money come from?"
Chris fears that Ariel will hate herself for not borrowing, but wants to know what the money is for, so she asks cautiously.
"Use it to build some restaurants for the orcs. A hotel or something. "So it might have to cost a little bit of money." ”
Is that so?
"But the orcs shouldn't be short of those things, why do they have to ......?"
"Chris, do you remember who the current ruler of the orcs is?" Ariel saw that Chris was a little hesitant, so she simply sat down and said.
"It should be the Wolf King. ”
"Then Chris, you should also know why we were able to win the entire territory of the Orcs without a fight. ”
"Of course. ”
Ariel's previous way of threatening and seducing Chris is still fresh in his memory.
"So, although the orcs belong to our empire now, they are still not very stable. There is always a danger of rioting. I remember that the orcs were supposed to have a strict hierarchy. Subordinates must unconditionally obey their superiors. ”
"If one day, the wolf suddenly plays tricks and launches an orc attack, although there is a method of public opinion that I have mentioned, it is inevitable that there will be a war. Therefore, we must hasten the assimilation of the orcs and our empire, so that they will have to submit to us when the time comes. ”
"Assimilation? What do you mean?"
It's the first time Chris has heard the word.
"Chris, what do you think is the best way to invade a country?"
Invasion? Should it be, war?
Chris's eyes looked at Ariel, but from the smile in her eyes, Chris felt that the answer was definitely not as simple as he thought.
"Language, do you mean?"
"Hey, Chris, you didn't say it was war. Ariel was slightly surprised, but this sentence made Chris's cold sweat flow.
"It seems that Chris, you are still a qualified emperor. ”
“......”
"Actually, what you said is pretty much the same, using culture or economy to invade is the best way. If those things are built, they will inevitably use currency, and if currency is concerned, there is no position orc yet. The only way to do this is to use the currency of our empire. ”
"As long as we can really start to operate the currency in the beast race, at that time, we humans who control the production of currency can indirectly control the beast race, right?"
“...... This, okay, I get it. ”
Chris was taken aback by Ariel's words, but he had to admit that Ariel's words were very correct, "I know, I'm going to talk to my father about using the treasury funds." ”
Moreover, when I go back, it is necessary to learn a little bit of politics from my father, and it seems that I can't even compare to Ariel.
Obviously, when I saw Ariel, she was basically playing except for eating.
Where did she learn so much about things she had never heard of?
(Today's shift, it's about to be 51, all kinds of joy.) (To be continued......)
