“You interceded on my behalf with His Majesty, the King. Thank you.”
ㅤ
One day, Jennifer bowed her head to me when I visited the adventurer’s guild.
ㅤ
When I asked what she meant, it seemed that the government of the Kingdom of Gaillia had reconsidered giving jobs to adventurers over the head of the guild.
It wasn’t just for us, [Hope]. That darn King.
ㅤ
In the war with the Lintrite Kingdom, many adventurers and mercenaries participated as volunteers. As King Roscandoros, he made plenty of connections.
Moreover, the stance of that battle was not of master and servant, but all were comrades, so I think a rather relaxed relationship was built.
ㅤ
Whether they are adventurers or mercenaries, they have strong loyalty, so if they think it’s a request from a friend, they’ll accept even if it’s a bit difficult.
Just as King Roscandoros planned.
Really, he’s an unmanageable guy. That good-for-nothing.
ㅤ
“Even if I hadn’t pointed it out, he was probably planning to stop the irregular method at the right time. Definitely.”
“In other words, he took the fact that you, Lionel, pointed it out, as a valuable opportunity, and changed his ways in a manner that saves the guild’s face. Our higher-ups also noticed and were fuming. About ten of them, all at once.”
ㅤ
Jennifer shrugged her shoulders.
Even if they understand, it’s the guild’s position to show gratitude for the King’s wise decision.
Surely, it’s not fun.
ㅤ
But the Adventurers Guild is not something that ends just because it’s not fun.
ㅤ
“You understand well. It seems you’ve gotten quite involved in the construction of the new Milt city.”
“I thought so.”
ㅤ
At my remark, Jennifer gave a wry smile.
The big project is to turn Milt, a roadside town with a population of less than two thousand, into a large city where more than four hundred thousand people live.
A tremendous amount of wealth is mobilized.
ㅤ
Getting involved in this will bring huge profits to the guild.
After all, there are as many jobs as you can imagine, in the literal sense.
ㅤ
First, the maintenance of the highway to Milt.
Make the road wider, easier to walk, and allow carriages to pass each other.
The work involved in this will provide excellent jobs for the refugees from Galangran, but they have no houses and will have to live in tents.
ㅤ
Of course, they are afraid of monster attacks at night.
So, the government of the kingdom has to hire adventurers to protect them.
It’s a windfall for the guild.
ㅤ
Then, the construction of the city walls of New Milt, the building of structures within the city, the maintenance of the highway to Piran, the rebuilding of the border checkpoint with the Kingdom of Masrur.
This is just what comes to mind off the top of my head.
ㅤ
“Rather, it seems likely that there will be a serious shortage of manpower.”
“Will the Guild also set up a branch in New Milt?”
ㅤ
“Yes, yes. There’s a big fuss over who to choose for that, and there’s talk of wanting to inspect the local area. Will you accept?”
“I see. So that’s how it connects. Of course, I don’t mind.”
ㅤ
I showed a smile.
After all, [Hope] has already passed through this highway once.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
Not only the Adventurers Guild will be establishing a branch in the new Milt, but also the Supreme God Church, the Magic Society, numerous public organizations and restaurants, they will all be setting up branches or outlets.
This is a city of four hundred thousand people, after all.
ㅤ
“But will it truly grow to such a size?”
ㅤ
Miliaria asked while getting ready for the journey.
ㅤ
The task of [Hope] this time is to escort and guide the inspection officer from the Guild, the representative of the Supreme God Church who asked to join, and the representative of the Magic Society.
It seems that we had triple bookings for the nomination request, quite an amazing story.
From the Guild, from the Supreme God Church, from the Magic Society, and so on.
ㅤ
[Hope] has become famous, hasn’t it?
Receiving the same request from all three major entities at the same time.
ㅤ
And because it’s impossible to escort them separately, the idea is to take all three of them together.
We can’t just accept one of them.
ㅤ
“That’s something we won’t know until we lift the lid. I do think there’s a certain number of people who don’t want to live near the border of the demon’s country.”
ㅤ
However, with over four hundred thousand refugees who currently have no place to live and no job, I can’t imagine they wouldn’t jump at this opportunity.
Those who don’t jump on board will probably flow to other new nations.
ㅤ
“Even if the population turns out to be around a hundred to two hundred thousand, it will still be a major city. And it’s as if it’s guaranteed to develop in the future.”
ㅤ
It’s a trading city that has made the Masrur Kingdom and Piran Castle their trading partners.
If things go wrong, it might be more prosperous than the city of Gaillia.
ㅤ
“It would be nice if that future comes.”
ㅤ
And so, Salieri laughs with a heh-heh.
Though she looks like this, she is a bridge of friendship between Gaillia and Masrur.
But if the people of Masrur think that they’re such laid-back folks, it might be a problem in itself.
ㅤ
“Right. I prefer this kind of work to fighting.”
ㅤ
Escorting and guiding.
Isn’t this just like an adventurer?
Much better than tense jobs.
ㅤ
“For a Strategist, you’re quite. . .”
“I am a peaceful Strategist.”
“Because you’re a mother, right.”
ㅤ
As they playfully chat, the journey preparations continue.
