239 Episode 239: Sword

"Oh, I thought I would die."

"I was the scariest ever"

Alice and I gasped.

After pulling down Granada's mankind, we were faint and stunned and fell.

Later, the worried Ron's hands recovered from the corpse of Granada, washed away the whole blood, and finally settled on Yulia's cure.

Looking back calmly, it wasn't much work.

Demolition of a dragon that has fallen with alcohol and sleeping pills.

But ... it was horrible.

It was the greatest fear of my life.

Until now, I have been to war many times.

Of course, he was unlikely to be in front of him as a king, but nevertheless stood on the battlefield, the divide between life and death, and was repeatedly exposed to enemy killings.

… But that is not much of a concern compared to Granada's fear.

That fear of Granada ...

"Armus, are you okay? I have a blue face ..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I still have some aftereffects ..."

I smiled bitterly.

In any case, Granada has already beaten. I'm no longer in this world.

This point should be safe.

"The curse was successful, but it will probably take some time to heal."

Even if detoxification is successful, the body that has been destroyed by poison does not return immediately.

How, even if the curse is successfully cursed, the soul damaged by the curse does not recover immediately.

However, it seems to be a matter of time, so you can feel safe.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the body of Granada, Julia?"

Alice asks Julia.

Don't worry about it. I'm worried unless I burn it and put it in ash.

"Dragon Damascus steel knives are being scraped from all over the country and are being handled. Blood, poison bags, scales, beards, tentacles, bones ... It's like a mountain. "

Julia broke her face.

He seemed to be thinking about making new poisons and medicines from the corpses of Granada.

Is it as usual?

"Alms is good, isn't it?"

"Oh, study as much as you like, but be careful."

"Yes!!"

Julia smiled happily.

That's fine with research.

"Speaking of which, can't you make armor with Granada scales? There is certainly a dragon scale armor, right?"

"Yes, but not practical"

Dragon scale armor common in fantasy.

Naturally, it also exists in this world.

However, they are rarely used in war.

This is because there is no great defense for the processing.

First, a dragon can be divided into several ranks.

Most dragons are subordinate.

The dragon scales belonging to the lower rank are not so hard.

Weapons made with modern, immature Adernia peninsula steelmaking technology are fragile enough to damage enough.

Melting it like iron and shaping it ... can't be done, so the processing costs are high.

And more brittle than iron armor.

Defeating the dragon, though lower, is hard, and the dragon has a small population.

Therefore, material costs are high.

So it's not very popular.

Well, it has the advantage of being light, so it's not bad for personal use.

The scale is harder than iron if it is a medium or higher dragon, but this time it will be about how to defeat and process it.

By the way, the dragon sword of Damascus steel I used so far seems to use the upper dragon's mandrel.

However, it has been tattered by the dismantling of Granada.

"But the scales of Granada aren't so stiff that Almus's sword can be ragged? Wouldn't it be great to wear armor?"

"Well, yes. It may be worth trying."

… But how and who makes it?

Oh, right! !

"Yulia, can you lend me a little paper? I have one thing I want to write."

After finishing the letter, we left Ron and his colleagues to watch over the refugees for a while.

To discuss the future with Raymonds.

"Good luck, safe. Your Majesty"

"Oh, you've been absent well. Well, what now?"

"... Are they refugees?"

"No, it's territory."

The refugees have been decided to return to where they already lived.

The royal capital was destroyed in Granada, but the other fields in the country were safe.

Those who were initially frightened and fleeing are gradually regaining calm.

Some people want to return immediately and plow the fields.

The problem is that those who originally lived in the royal capital and lost their homes ...

They are going to provide food support and revive the city.

After all, the hometown where you live is probably good.

Well, the problem of refugees has been largely solved.

To put it bluntly, the wheat we've bought up is wasting waste ... it's better than we need.

"The former Carne's kingdom has been declared to be under our control, as directed by His Majesty."

"That's hard, Raymond, but this chaos doesn't make expedition possible."

Originally, it was intended to conquer the West at once.

I had to do diplomacy for Ial.

But now it was a bad time.

I have to carry over next year.

"... That's right, your Majesty. In fact ... many royals, kingdoms and city-state communities have already applied for membership in the Romanian Federation."

"... Many? How much?"

"Not unified, all over the western region."

……why?

Looking at my face, Raymond smiled as she read her thoughts.

"Because His Majesty has defeated an old evil dragon .... There are already rumors in the country. A long time ago, the evil dragon that had devastated the Adernia Peninsula was resurrected, but it was defeated by His Majesty. This is so widespread in our distant country. For the western nations under immediate threat, His Majesty is a great hero. "

"Is the transvestite episode even widespread?"

"... yeah, well."

...... My crossdresser will definitely be engraved in history.

Well, it can't be helped.

Anyway ...

"Maybe the conquest of the southern half is over.

"Yes, your Majesty. Finally, one-third of the unified business is over."

Alright! ! !

After that, I immediately issued instructions to the vassals.

He first gave Bartolo 10,000 soldiers and stationed him in the country closest to the king of Gilbed, among those who applied for membership in the Romania.

He dispatched diplomats, mainly Iar, to western countries to negotiate the alliance.

Tell Raymond about the country and the original member states.

He left the rest of the Senate to do the paperwork.

Blame from King Gilbed's country.

Complaint from King Faldham's country.

An exploration from the country of King Domorgar.

We are sure to incorporate the western nations into the Federation of Romania while taking care of them and responding appropriately ...

A month later, only the shape was successfully incorporated as a territory of the Romanian Federation.

One week later.

I was coming to the former king of Carne.

For one word came from Ron, who was monitoring and supporting the refugees.

that is……

"... this is amazing"

I swallowed my saliva.

Yes, there is a cave on the southern coast of the kingdom of Carne.

It's a place of Granada's treasure.

When I raise the lamp, glitter, gold and silver, glass balls, and jewels shine.

A treasure trove.

"How did you find this?"

I ask Lulu, the first discoverer.

Lulu was proudly proud.

"Huh, I traced the smell of Granada, as if I had gone back and forth, there was a strong smell."

"Well done! Lulu !!!! You are the best!"

I worked Lulu.

At first glance, the loss of this turmoil… there is enough money to cover the costs of importing wheat.

However……

"I don't think Granada's guys have a lot of storage.

A smile smiles involuntarily.

Now, let's carry it all out and put it in the treasure house of the Romanian palace.

Because if someone is stolen, you're in trouble.

I don't know who steals.

I instruct the soldiers to carry out the jewels one after another.

Anyway ...

Isn't this two years worth of Romalia's national budget?

Whether it will reach two years is not known unless it is accurately assessed.

But there will be one year.

"Re leader!"

"What's wrong, Ron?"

I'm heading for Ron who is in great trouble.

There ...

"Hey, really?"

There was a large reddish stone there.

It is a jewel because it is shining in places.

I am also the king.

I saw ornaments as such. And so is the noble Ron.

"Is this a ruby?"

"Oh, I see that too."

It's like an amateur, so I can't say for sure ...

It was like ruby rough.

It was like ...

Because it's too big.

It looks like it is 15 cm in height and width.

Of course, this is a rough.

If you cut it, it will be smaller.

However, one adult fist is likely to remain.

Then ... this is the largest ruby in the world ...

"Lon !! Carefully carry around."

"Yeah! No, it's impossible.

"Okay, ruby is the hardest gem after diamond!"

"If not, please carry it with your Majesty."

"If I drop it, I'll be responsible!"

After that, everyone carried them out carefully and carefully.

And as soon as all the treasures have been brought to the treasure house ...

Finally, the person I have been waiting for has come to Romania.

I meet her between the audience.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Julia, King Almus. It looks like you've got a wonderful heart. Please leave it. We will process it responsibly."

A beautiful blonde woman with dark skin smiled and said so.

"Yes, it's been a long time. Thank you."

Julia smiled at her and bowed lightly.

I also greet me carefully.

"Oh, it's been a long time. I'm grateful for this. We've got a lot of things we can't handle. By the way ... I heard you could do jewelry processing too? "

"Yes, we are proud of the world's best jewelry processing technology."

This is reliable.

After all, we're going to turn it into just swarf.

"Hey, Almus. Who is that person?"

Tetra pulls my sleeve and ears.

Is that so, Tetra's first meeting?

"The desert people (alarms), the patriarch Aisha"

"I'm here for the introduction. I'm Aisha, the chief of the desert ethnicity, a clan of iron and steel and business and war. This time I've been to iron and steel and business.

Aisha said that and smiled.
