97 97. The Country Beyond the Sea




"Thanks for the help . Thank you, Baron Lasse.

 Lasse, who had delivered Count Carnavi to his estate, was having tea at his mansion.

No, it's part of my job.

"The kids are so excited to have the legendary dragon play with them.

 With that, Count Carnavi looked out the window and saw his children frolicking on top of the dragon.
 The dragon was obviously fretting over the frolicking children, and in fact, when the children were about to fall, he would support them with his wings and tail to keep them from falling.

(Though it seems the Kraken is better at dealing with kids.)

 Lasse chuckles at the reaction of the dragon, who is more like a clumsy father who takes his children for an occasional break.

I'm glad you like it.

 As Lasse and Count Carnavi are enjoying a chat, there is a knock on the door of the parlor they are in.
 The old butler comes in with a tray in his hand.

"This is your reward and the location of the Lamia settlement in this country. I hope you will accept it.

 After a word of thanks, Lasse looks at a stack of papers handed to him.
 The content was written about the characteristics of the land, such as where in this country there is a Lamia settlement, what kind of place there is, etc... (Can you give me a map?

(You can't give me a map, can you?)

 The map is a secret information of national importance.
 If you find out where is located easily, it would be a leak of secrets and would endanger Count Khanavi, so the content is limited to the level of information that can be gathered by private citizens through word of mouth.
 However, since the names of the places and the nature that serve as landmarks are written, it is much easier than searching for them from scratch.
 Lasse is relieved to know that Lamia is definitely there.

"Thank you again, Count Carnavi.

 When Lasse bowed, Count Carnavi received the thanks with a laugh.

Baron Lasse, raise your head. You are an honorary title and a nobleman of the Kingdom of Tendo. You are a nobleman of the kingdom of Tendo. You should better understand the complexity of your situation.

"Thank you for pointing that out.

 Unexpectedly, Lasse likes the fact that Count Carnavi is a personality.

"If you want, why don't you take my youngest daughter as your wife to teach her how to be a nobleman? She's a little girl, but she'll grow up to be a beautiful woman, just like her wife. After all, you look just like my wife when she was young.

 Just as I was impressed, I was stunned at how quickly Count Carnavi changed his mind about having his blood tied to her.

(He's also an aristocrat.)

"I'm sorry, but I'm a lifetime title, so I'll have to give the young lady a hard time sooner or later.

"Really? I don't think you'll have any trouble getting a grandchild on your earnings. Maybe your knighthood will rise even higher.

Haha, it's not going to be another war in less than a year after the war ended.

Count Kahnavi's words as overrated, denying them.

"No, no, not necessarily. Wars happen at the worst possible time. Just when you think it's safe for today, it's too late.

 Lasse.

"When I think about it. When I think about it, I'd like to marry my daughters off to a foreign country, so that they would live longer, just in case.

"What if?

"So, what if . A parent's love for his or her child dares him or her to flee to a distant place. A young child might not be able to understand that.

 A melancholy feeling came over Lasse .

'Nah! Well, that's why, if you feel like it, you can have my daughter!

Or, consider ...... No, I'm a hapless courier now.

 You should not say 'think about it another time' to a nobleman because you need to answer the next time you see him," said his friend Merc.

Well, that's too bad. Well, that's a shame... I'll talk to you again when you're the blind courier.

 But the Count was a rotten Count.

(This is no match for the nobility.)

 The

"Thanks to Count Carnavi, we have information about the country's lamia. I will travel around the country looking for these lands. Ostensibly under the guise of transporting guests in carriages.

"So we can start a business here too?

 Lamia shakes her head, thinking that she would focus on finding Lamia.
 I didn't think it was necessary to work on the continent across the ocean.

"Yeah, it's a bit far from the kingdom of Tendo.

 As expected, even though Lise has a business called Dragon Carriage, it is only business within the Kingdom of Tendo.
 They may fly to other countries, but that is a de facto border invasion. The horrible reality was that no one could complain because we were dealing with dragons.
 Still, the countries surrounding the kingdom of Tendo never complained to the kingdom of Tendo for the usefulness and benefit of the dragon carriage.
In fact, complaining about the dragon carriage would cause problems for similar businesses such as transporting pigeons and large bird monsters that carry light loads.

 Furthermore, if each country complained to the kingdom of Tendo and drove Lasse out, then Lasse would come to another country. But if that nation accepts the dragons for their convenience, they will be noticed by you, as you complained about Lasse.
 That's why Lasse's dragon carriage was overlooked.
 For the compelling reason that the sky has no borders.
Well, the problem is actually caused by a combination of mistakes and misjudgments because Lasse forgot to ask other countries for permission to do business with them, and neighboring countries found value in dragons.

 But this is a different country across the sea.
 Since there is no unspoken agreement around the Tendo Kingdom, you need permission to do business within the country first.
 Therefore, Lasse will ask Count Carnavi for permission to operate the dragon carriage in the Seafleet Country.
 The Sea Fleet, who had already received information about the dragon carriage, decided that they couldn't afford to fall behind the country across the sea.



 Lasse and the demons descended on Count Carnavi's mansion, where they called on merchants and travelers to advertise the dragon carriage to onlookers who were wandering around, curious about dragons.
 You'll be able to find out what the guests want and what information they've obtained, and then Lasse and his team will resume their search for Lamia on the new continent.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that ...... has some merchants who are willing to come along with you to help you with your case. You still have a few days to complete your purchase.

"Oh, there you are, of course.

 Casually, the clever merchants were following along as well.
