It seemed that the testimony was over and everything was settled, but as expected, things didn't seem to be going so smoothly.
　When Erdena and I attended the testimony, the ringleaders of the Senate were captured and imprisoned, so we couldn't make a counter-suit against the contents of the testimony, but later on, we were told that they were not going to respond to the contents of our testimony.
It's a matter of perception.
　It seems that they are lodging an objection to the assembly as
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
It's a good thing that they don't call the testimony of Safate and the others 'bullshit'. It's a good idea to say, "We did lock them up, but that was to keep them safe," or "There may have been some words and actions that could have been considered threatening, but we had no such intentions, and the fact that we used words that could have been misunderstood was a failure of ours. You keep making excuses.
　It seems that the ringleaders of the Senate also know that their moats are completely filled in and are desperately seeking to have their sentences reduced.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it, but it's also a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.
''........Since we have so much physical evidence, I doubt the result of the verdict will be reversed.
　At Foldente's words, Erdena replied with those words.
　At such words from Erdena, Foldente nodded in passing.
''I wonder why those Senate ringleaders continue to act like they're stalling for time... that's what's bothering me a bit.
　While saying this, he had a somewhat unexplained expression on his face.

　In addition, I heard that very little information had leaked out regarding the current situation of the Bobblebum cult's hardliners.
　I heard that the resolution of the assembly against these people had already been passed, and that the punishment hearing within Bobblebum's cult was now underway.
　It is said that this is the biggest problem in the history of the Bobblebum religion, so the matter is being handled with great caution even within Bobblebum Church.

　After that, I decided to ask Foldente to go to the capital again to gather information in the capital, but Foldente gave me a suggestion.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the city. It's a good idea to collect information on the council and the masterminds of the imprisoned senate, but if you want to collect information on the state of the city and gossip as well, that's a good thing.
　Saying that, Foldente suggested that he would establish a chamber of commerce within the King's capital.
　He said he was thinking of setting up a chamber of commerce and gathering information efficiently while doing business in the royal capital.
''But isn't it difficult to set up a Chamber of Commerce in the King's Capital because there are so many restrictions?''
Well, I've got something for you.
　According to Foldente, the building was previously rented by the ringleaders of the Senate to keep an eye on the Quinn Chamber of Commerce, but the Chamber of Commerce's rights to do business in the building were still intact.
　They wanted Quinn to buy it and assign it to them.
The location is right across the street from the Quinn Trading Company, so no one would question it if they bought it. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what to expect when you buy it, because it's very easy to get a job as a subcontractor of the Quinn Company, and everyone else will think that you're going to be able to create a business related to the Quinn Company.
　It wouldn't be a big problem if he actually got a job placement and gathered information while doing it, and if any problems arose, it would be less of a problem for Quinn if he was working as a separate business association.
''All right. Well then, may I ask you to make some adjustments in that direction?
All right. I'll leave you to it.
　After saying that, Foldente left for the royal capital again.

◇ ◇ ◇.

　I then went through the documents on the enclave that had been given to me by the council again.
　There were a total of four former Greed family private lands that had been dispensed with this time.
　One of them is the private land just south of the King's Landing that we most wanted to get our hands on.
　It is surrounded by desert and is not ideal for farming. However, since that road was changed to a more convenient route, there is no way to take advantage of its proximity to the capital, and it is currently uninhabited.
　We are planning to build a landing tower for the magic ship here and have the regular magic ship arrive and depart from here.
　We are planning to build an inn town around the tower for the magic ship and provide regular services to the city. By doing so, he believes that he can revitalize this land.
　I think this is a touchstone.
　In other words, if this shukubamachi with this magic boat tower as its centerpiece can achieve a certain level of success, it may be possible to form a similar shukubamachi in other places as well.
　If there is an outlying city nearby, if they could secure regular horse-drawn carriage service in partnership with the outlying city and launch regular magic ships, they would be able to generate revenue from the lodging town and also revitalize the outlying city.
　All of this can't be done without successfully managing this desert enclave....

　However, it wasn't enough to just work on this enclave in the south of the city.
　We also need to work on the remaining three enclaves that were disposed of together this time.
　These three enclaves were located in the northern part of the royal capital, some distance away.
　All of them are located where there used to be a vein of magic stone ore, but that vein has now been exhausted.
　Even in this enclave where there was no industry other than the veins, the Greed family continued to impose heavy taxes on this enclave.
　Because of this, most of the inhabitants have fled, but there are still a few inhabitants left in these lands.
　We need to understand their situation and take action as soon as possible.
　I had very little advance information about these three areas because I didn't have it in mind to begin with.
　The land status report by the Greed family that was paid off by Congress is also completely useless because it has been altered to suit the Greed family.
''Well as long as there are residents, we should go directly to these three places first.
　I thought about that as I looked at the map.

　Afterwards, we had an information exchange meeting with the deputy lords, Erdena and Biblina.
　We get together like this once a week to exchange information with each other.
　It's a very good idea to have a good time with them.
I'm sure there was nothing major that happened during our absence. Well, nothing major happened," he said, "but we've repaired the damaged hot spring village.
　As Biblina laughed at that, apparently there was no problem.
　I let out a sigh of relief at that.
　After that, I gave them the information about the enclave.
''In addition to turning the southern enclave of the King's Capital into an inn town, I think we need to hurry up and confirm the current status of the three enclaves.
''Well, first we need to get a handle on the current situation of the residents.
　Eldena agreed with me.
　Biblina nodded in agreement with me as well.
Well, I'll discuss the plans for the inn town with Sarah and see what we can come up with. May I borrow this plan?
Yeah, I'll leave that to Biblina. I think I'm going to take the town hall's little magic ship to the enclave.

　Afterwards, we had a quick meeting and went back to our respective jobs.
　
　When the meeting was over, I moved to the guard station on my feet.
Hey, you're the lord, what's up?
　Chief of the Guard, Gugus, greeted me with a smile.
"To tell the truth, I'm thinking of going to inspect the enclave to the north of the capital. I'd like to ask you to be my escort.
All right, all right, I'll see to it. Wait for me in the lord's chambers.
　As I said that, Googs quickly left the room, tapping me on the shoulder.
　I went back to the lord's room while thanking Gugsu for his kindness.
