Chapter 131

Chapter 131. I prefer the city to the countryside (1) You just have to let the money keep rolling in.

And I will decorate my comfortable nest with the money I have accumulated.

“What do you need in the future?

huh? Fry what do you think you need?”

I asked the dumb griffon while feeding Fry horse meat.

Basically, the servants take care of the fries, but sometimes I play with them and feed them when I'm bored.

What is it?

Fry let out a sob that seemed completely incomprehensible, then slightly stomped his front paw.

It looks like it wants something.

yeah i haven't forgotten

“...Yes, yes. Don't worry, I have your wife.”

I took another piece of horsemeat from the sacks I had brought and threw it into the griffon pen.

Fry takes the horse meat he threw in his mouth and passes it to another griffon inside the cage.

This is the female griffon I brought in a while ago.

I had a lot of trouble getting this.

Maybe I'm the only aristocrat raising griffons, but they haven't been on sale for a while.

It was this guy who accidentally bought something from a merchant who handles monsters.

However, unlike Fry, this guy is wary of me.

Of course, the merchants get in the way before buying, so it's not violent.

Is there still a minimum of vigilance?

He seems to get along well with Fry, so there shouldn't be a problem.

Except for the fact that it seems a little caught up.

Well, that's something this guy can handle.

It won't be long before we see baby griffons.

shut up your eyes

yes, be happy forever

Give birth to healthy babies.

“Yeah... Fry, you look happy now? Yes, you look really happy.”

It's not particularly envious.

I can live like that as long as I put my mind to it, right?

It's not that I feel regretful that I kicked off my engagement.

It's real.

Watching the salting of griffons, I was lost in thought for a moment.

that's what i need

‘Is it okay if I start in earnest soon?'

The necessary funds must have been gathered, and many other problems had been resolved, so I decided that it would be okay to start planning in earnest.

“Okay, let’s start.”

As soon as I returned to my office, I took out a large amount of blueprints and plans that I had stored in my safe, checked them out, and stood up with clenched fists and shouted.

Well, that's all I need now!

“Let’s build a city!!”

I'm tired of living in the countryside anymore.

city! I want a city! give me the city!!

Give me a city please!!

decided to build a city.

For that, there is someone I need to inform and convince of my plan first.

Therefore, I immediately rushed to get permission.

That's my dad!

“Arel, are you really going to build a city in Fahilia? Did you just say that?”

My father was frowning and perplexed.

Yes. The first person to explain and convince him of the city construction plan is none other than the King's father.

If it's a minor construction project, you can do it under my supervision and then report it.

However, the story is different when it comes to large-scale construction projects such as urban construction.

I have the authority to go ahead with the plan itself.

However, in the end, I can't proceed without my father's approval.

If you can't convince him, you won't be able to insert the ignition key.

“Why?”

“I will definitely raise Pahilia and plan to develop it into a decent city. You can never throw it out in the middle.”

At best, the angle to build my paradise is being built, but now I don't want to come back to the middle of the whirlpool where annoying nobles swarm again.

Fight the politics between you guys.

I will build a big paradise in an inconspicuous place and live comfortably.

No one can stop this now.

‘...well, it's normal to want to come back.'

And alleviating that worry is what I have to do now.

“If it were a normal city, you would be turned away. However, the city I will build in Fahilia is by no means ordinary.”

harsh climate.

monster attack.

distance.

Other than that, etc...

I couldn't have thought of various problems that would disturb my paradise.

“I was going to tell you about the detailed plan later. The city I will create will never be abandoned for that reason.”

For that, he collected money and instructed dwarves, alchemists, and wizards to constantly study the necessary skills.

The foundation is sufficient and execution is possible.

Let me explain with determination and determination.

Father was silent for a moment, as if he was struggling with something.

They are seriously contemplating whether to allow it.

But I can't break my stubbornness.

“...I understand, I will allow you.”

Eventually permission was given.

After obtaining a city building permit.

Upon returning, he immediately invited the chiefs of all the villages within the territory to the castle.

After receiving permission from the king, it was time to ask the residents of this place for their understanding.

“This is the first time since that day that I have called you all together.”

This is the first time since I summoned them to clearly imprint my existence on them when I first took office as the lord of Pahilia.

And now they are gathered here again, just as they were back then.

That's right.... If I had to point out the difference from before.

Unlike then, I must say, their faces are somewhat animated.

It's a little bit, but there are some guys who have gained weight.

It is proof that I have become livable after I took office.

“At that time, when you looked at me, your eyes, which were quite anxious, are still good. ‘Ah~ now we're going to starve to death?' and lamented inwardly?”

“Can that be?”

When I joked around, the village chiefs became contemplative and bowed their heads desperately.

I'm kidding? joke?.

I don't know what it used to be, but now they are following me wholeheartedly.

Now, no matter what policy I set out, I'll probably follow it right away without any complaints.

“Relax. Today, I just called because I wanted to have a meal with you guys after a while.”

It was to at least hold a dinner as a token of appreciation for the hard work you have done in following my guidelines.

....And I also had something to say to them.

Whether it's a good story or a bad story, it's right to start by filling your stomach first.

I suggested eating first, and after that, I ate with them really casually.

Of course, we chatted during the meal, but mostly it was about the current situation of the villagers.

“...Now that we've filled our stomachs, we're going to talk about something important.”

The village chiefs seemed a bit nervous at those words, but they weren't taken aback.

I, no one else, dared to call all the village chiefs together.

I must have thought that there must be a reason.

“Your village has grown quite a bit too. it is not so?”

“....That's right! All of this is thanks to Arel.”

As the population increased and the economic situation improved, I repaired houses in the village several times or expanded the village as needed.

In the past, it was a poor rural village, but now it has become a moderately affluent rural village.

I know it well because I have checked the condition of each village while taking a walk in the fryer from time to time.

“So you mean...?”
