"Hmmm... Kyna village, huh?"

Alois III, King of Klein, smiled pleasantly as Jin said this.

"Is that all you want?　You can ask for a larger territory, can't you?"

"No, it's just the village of Kaina.

Jin's mind remained unchanged.

"Well, that's good.

Alois III orders his scribe to draw up a contract.

This is the general outline.

The following is a detailed description of the definition of the village of Kaina, the scope of the lease, and the term of the lease.

The loan period is 50 years from today.

The market price for a golem like the one Jin made is 5 to 8 million tolls.2 The price of one golem like Jin's is 5 to 8 million dollars. 20 to 160 million dollars. The cost of materials is approximately 80 million dollars.

Jin's labor would be no less than 80 million dollars, judging from the workmanship.

In addition, there is a sword, but this time the whole project was undertaken for 50 million dollars. The difference is more than 30 million dollars.

On the other hand, if the tax revenue of the village of Kayna is 5 tons of wheat, it is about 450,000 Tall, or 22 The tax revenue of the village of Kayna is about 450,000 TL, or 22.5 million TL for 50 years.

The tax revenues of the village of Caina, on the other hand, were not commensurate with the amount of the reward, so Alois III said that a larger territory would be acceptable.

The text was read out again.

The contract would be null and void if Jin acted against the interests of the Kingdom of Klein, among other clauses.

Naturally, the village of Kaina is considered an extraterritoriality.

Since Jin himself could not memorize all the clauses read out by the clerk, he had Lao-kun memorize them through Reiko and check them at the same time.

Then, Reiko whispered to Jin that the problem was still <>.

"What do you think, Jin-dono?"

Prime Minister Powell asked Jin after the text had been read out.

Jin then mentioned the points that the old man had pointed out to him through Reiko.

Yes, <>, this is somewhat ambiguous. For example, if someone belonging to the Klein Kingdom causes a problem around the village of Kaina, and I ...... am to blame for it, to what extent am I allowed to do so?

By implication, the king realized, he was referring to Count Walter's intransigence last year and Jin's actions in stopping him.

"Well, yes, Prime Minister, do you have an opinion?"

"Yes, in that case, how about allowing the right of self-defense in the region in the event of an act that would undermine the region as I indicated earlier?

He is using difficult words, but he is saying that if they attack the village of Kaina, fighting back within Kaina would not be an act <>. It is only natural if it is an extraterritoriality.

Conversely, it is not allowed to chase them out of the village of Kaina.

"In this case, is it correct to say that the village of Kaina is not a real village, but rather the boundary of an area?

"Specifically, the area north of the Torgo Pass, bounded by the Erme River and the northern mountains."

The Togolese pass is a small pass that was crossed when the tax was paid. The northern mountains are not the ones where they go to get medicinal herbs, but the area further north where the Hecaton Cairn was located. It is quite a large area.

It is Jin's opinion that a simple drawing has been added so that there are no ambiguities.

Some other points are to be confirmed.

The last point added at that stage was that <>.

The old man gave his OK, so Jin signed the contract and stamped his handprint on it.

Two copies of the contract were made, one for the Kingdom of Klein and the other for Jin.

"Now we have a connection between our country and Jin," said Alois III.

Alois III said to Jin,

"Your Majesty, I would like to confirm something.

"Yes, what is it?"

"The conflict with the Kingdom of Franz seems to have ended. What about the order for conscription?"

"Prime Minister?"

The king turned Jin's question to the Prime Minister.

"Certainly, I have issued an order to the nobles who own lands to conscript. However, since I withdrew it this morning, each of them has been disbanded, or should be disbanded.

Jin's chest heaves with relief at the Prime Minister's explanation. The men of Kaina village will be able to return to their villages soon.

I am relieved to hear that. Finally, please make sure that there will be no friction with Count Walter, who rules the whole Kaina village.

"I understand."

The last clause, <>.

Jin is relieved and happy that all is now done and that the village of Kaina is now at peace.

The king is the king,

"I am happy to have made a connection with Jin," he said.

He had two glasses prepared, poured wine into them, and offered one to Jin. Jin accepted the offer.

Then, for the sake of our good relationship," he said.

"To a good relationship."

Cheers.

The princess was delighted that Jin, whom she had found, had been recognized by her father, the king, and the prime minister was delighted that he had made a connection with a rare talent.

The contract was signed at 5:30 p.m., and it looked like they would be staying another night. Princess Rieschen took the opportunity to extend an invitation.

Jin, I'm so happy for you. You can have dinner at my place again. Father, is that all right?　Yes, Powell, will you come too?"

Alois III smiled and nodded.

"Well, Rhys, you're in charge of the feast, I'll leave you to it. Powell, you may go."

The grand dining room of the villa has a magnificent setting.

A sumptuous meal is laid out in the dining room of the palace.

Among the participants are Princess Rieschen, Prime Minister Powell, Baron Boulton, and Vice-Captain of the Gloria Knight Corps.

And Jin, Elsa, Hannah, and Reiko (though Reiko does not eat or drink).

Hannah is wearing a dress given to her by the princess. Erza was also wearing one of the dresses, which was not the princess's, but was given to her by the princess. Jin is wearing the half-coat of the Honorary Magi Craftsman Honorary Magi Craftsman.

A toast is made with light fruit wine, except for Hannah. Hannah is the only one who drinks juice.

"Ah, I feel so relieved now!"

The Prime Minister, who had finished the toast, let out a relieved voice. He must have felt better now that he had a connection with Jin. He may still have something in mind, but now that he knows how good he is, he will not touch Jin directly.

Jin explained the situation to Elsa and Hanna in a simple way, but Elsa and Hanna probably did not understand it.

Still, she seemed to understand that Jin had received a reward,

She said to me, "I'm happy for you, girl.

She said to me.

While eating, the conversation was lively. The one who talked the most was, of all, Princess Rieschen.

She said, "I was right!

And,

"You can stay here forever!

You can stay here as long as you like!

Gloria was Gloria,

"I will treasure this sword that Master Jin made for me for the rest of my life!

I will treasure this sword that Master Jin made for me for the rest of my life!

And her father, Boulton..,

"Jin-dono, I would like you to make me a sword next time, if you can. ......

(I put the matter on hold for the time being.) (I put the matter on hold for the time being.)

The night went on with pleasant conversation.

Meanwhile, Alois III, on the other hand.

"The Prime Minister answered Jin's question, but when did he withdraw the conscription order?

He checked with his secretary to be sure. He wanted to keep his credibility.

"Don't worry, I am sure that the order to withdraw the draft order was sent to the various places this morning by fast horseback.

"Well, that's good. Indeed, last time we made a slight mistake, and let such a great talent slip through our fingers.

Alois III recalls with bitterness Count Walter's courage.

"Besides, he made a good acquaintance in marrying Lys to Egelea.

The Kingdom of Klein, which promotes the idea of diplomacy from afar, would be pleased to strengthen its ties with the Kingdom of Egelea.

Princess Rieschen heard from Jin that the third prince Ernest was a very good prince, and as a father, not a king, she should be happy about that.

"How is Count Walter doing now?"

He wants to know exactly what is going on, since he is going to lose his lands, even if only a part of them.

The secretary replies.

Yes, I believe they are organizing their own army in Gaara. I am sure that the conscripted soldiers have been disbanded.

"Good, I will send out the first horses tomorrow to inform them of the decision regarding the village of Kaina.

I will send out the first horses tomorrow and inform you of the decision regarding the village of Kaina.

How is the linkage working, old man?

<

That night, on his bed, Jin made sure that no one was around to eavesdrop on him, and then, just to be on the safe side, he communicated with the old man through Reiko.

<

Yes, Jin did not fully trust the Kingdom of Klein. That's why the golem has a number of <.

That's why he used light-attributed magic crystals (magi crystals) for the eyes, which seemed to be a little over spec.

All the extra power is used for the linkage with the old man. The formula for the linkage is so minute, and is composed of Chinese characters, that no one can analyze it.

As a matter of fact, all the extra power of the wind vocalization device is used for the linkage with the old man, so that the old man can know what the golem is saying and even what the golem hears if he wants to.

In addition, the control core is also equipped with a limiter to prevent attacks against Jin, Horai Island, Kunlun Island, and Kaina Village, and it is also configured to allow the Old Man to seize control of the core if the need arises.

This is a secret only between Jin, Reiko and the old man.

"I have one more favor to ask. The old man, I need you to deliver the same golem carriage that I made before to the vicinity of Alban tomorrow morning.

Jin instructed the old man to be as deceitful as possible, thinking that he would probably be sent off the next day.

"We'll get by with this: ......"
