It has been about three months since the people of Miedai moved to Agartha, and their lives have finally begun to settle down. The snow covering the land has begun to lt, and spring is finally coming to this country.
The Emperor and Empress are living a peaceful life in the guest house. The Empress is finally in a stable period and her belly is getting bigger. On the other hand, the emperor is visiting the dwarves' workshop in Agartha. This is Sidhi's introduction, and he is there to learn the techniques for efficiently refining the Prill stone.
The diligent emperor has mastered the dwarves' techniques one after another. He then applied these techniques to his own work, making pottery when he had free ti.
In fact, the works created by Teisho-sama are highly acclaid. One person in particular has beco a fan of his work.
"Beautiful! These colors! This touch! Luster! All of them are impeccable!"
The one who is raising his voice in a deranged manner is King Maintia of the Kingdom of Hradi. He has been visiting Agartha once or twice a month since he returned to his own country. This is, of course, to see his son Onsar, whom he loves dearly, and also to et King Poseidon, whom he looks up to as his ntor in life. He happened to see a cup of tea made by the emperor, and whenever he moved to Agartha, he always went to the emperor's house.
As a matter of fact, the King of Maintia has a troubled child from the country of Miedai in his custody. Yes, that Kwanpak.
He did not like Agartha. The soldiers were so disgusted with her, that they consulted with the King of Maintia as a desperate asure. As soon as he heard the story, he went to see Kwanpak and they hit it off in a few minutes. Apparently, they found that they shared the sa aspirations. Indeed, perverts know perverts.
Because of this, Kwanpak was secretly sent to the Hladi nation and is now under house arrest. No, it was not or King Maintia who put him under house arrest. Kwampak himself requested it. He is now a complete recluse, so to speak.
Normally, I would be concerned about Kwanpak's situation, but the truth is that he knows how to refine the "magic sucking stone". He should be the one to teach the thod to Teishama, but he is completely unwilling to do so. Moreover, the emperor himself is not able to teach the technique due to his magical power. However, if we leave him unchecked, we do not know what kind of tentacles Criana will extend to him. For this reason, it would be safer for him to stay at the king's villa in Hradi.
King Maintia is looking at the emperor's work with satisfaction. He takes out a large bag of gold coins from his pocket and puts it on his desk. The emperor repeatedly refuses to accept the gold, but he stubbornly leaves the exorbitant amount of money. But the gold from Hradi will be valuable for the future reconstruction of Miedai, but we will not know that for a long ti to co.
I leave the conversation with the emperor and the king of Maintia behind and retire to my office. When I opened the door, Gon was there.
"Oh, what's the matter, Gon?"
"I've got Hayes' tail!"
I'm wide-eyed and surprised. I had been trying in every possible way to gather information on his whereabouts ever since the Lord Highness had ordered to track him down, but I hadn't been able to gather as much information as I had hoped.
Perhaps, almost certainly, Octa, who serves the kingdom of Thana, is Hayes. But I had no idea where he was going. I listened to Gon's story.
"Hayes is not in the Kingdom of Thana, is he?
Of course. No wonder we can't track him. So where is he?
"Aphrodite, the capital of the Church of Crimiana."
"What? The capital of Crimiana is under the watchful eye of Sadakichi and the other faerie dragons, and you managed to slip past them?
"Haze is capable of shifting. He seems to be in a room in a laboratory in Aphrodite. Naturally, he never goes outside.
"I see. If they never go outside, we don't know that. But Gong, how could you know in such a situation?"
"Ahem."
"...... did sothing wrong, didn't you?"
"Geekoo. No, no, no, no, no, I'm not ...... ...... at all."
"I won't be offended, just say it."
Gong told us that he happened to overhear rumors of Hayes at a brothel where he was secretly playing. The story cos from a group of rchants who travel around the world collecting rare and expensive items. When they visited Aphrodite, they saw a mysterious building in the institute.
The building was surrounded by walls and had no entrance at all. When he asked the institute staff about the building, they did not answer him, and he also received an order for a large quantity of tswankuld.
"Tswanklund?"
It is an alloy of copper and a tal called gleis. It is said that Tswankuld increases the power of magic, albeit only slightly. Incidentally, Glyes is a common ore here in Agartha.
"And what does that an?"
The rchant must have co to Agartha to purchase Tswankuld.
"Perhaps the tswankuld will be brought to Klimiana and used for so kind of weapon. It could be a weapon using the Prill stone from Miedai or a magic sucking stone.
I agree with you, sir.
"Gong, playing with won is also surprisingly useful."
I look at Gon with a nasty smile. He scratches his head and opens his mouth apologetically.
"That ...... is for Rico and the others. ......"
"I know. You'll be tossed back in with the granddad again."
"I've already been to the Grandmother's to report..."
"Oh, yeah. So, is the princess going to Aphrodite?
I'm not going. He said you can't go where Hayes hasn't been seen. Unless there's a situation where he can be killed for sure, he won't leave.
"I guess so. By the way, Gon, have the rchants already bought the Grylls of Agartha?"
"Not at all, sir. As soon as we heard about it, we stopped the sale. The ore is used by the dwarves in their workshops. The dwarves would be furious if they bought up all the ore.
"I see. But can't we sell them to the rchants?
"What? What do you an?
"No, I was thinking that we could sell them sothing with the effects of Griess reduced."
"I see! In that case, you can sell the Gleisse that cos out of the Dwarf Workshop. After all, they have been thoroughly used in the workshop. They may look like gleis, but they are no different from ordinary stones. You can make a lot of money ...... by buying free stones. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Gon is laughing with an evil look on his face. I watch him and slowly open my mouth.
"If it turns out that Agartha's Grylls has no effect, that's the ti to do it. If they don't and continue to use it, then so be it. If you move, there will be so reaction. Then we'll take action."
As I was saying this, I was beginning to think about my next move.
