Non-Gongong Travel (1)

The coronation ceremony was successfully concluded.

Dmitry officially declared an empire, and representatives of all countries were present to support Dmitry's will.

If there was anything special, it was related to the Luna Kingdom. Choi

As a report came in that the Arcadia continent's climate was stabilizing, Roman Dmitry accepted the will of the people of the Luna Kingdom and decided to annex Luna.

Luna's Queen.

Isabel is currently missing.

The annexation of the nations was a very sensitive matter, but before leaving, Isabel expressed her intention to entrust Luna to Roman Dmitry.

Thanks to you, things went smoothly.

Dmitry did not forcibly seize the lands of Kronos and Valhalla, but declared the entire vast Arcadia continent beyond the endless mountain range as an empire.

In fact, since the story was being discussed in advance, Roman Dmitry decided that there was no need to risk annexing the two empires by force.

It was an ideal finish.

There was a sensitive problem called the Demon Realm, but under Roman Dmitry's control, the continent quickly regained stability.

a few days after that.

Dmitry's mansion.

Looking out at the manicured garden from the terrace, the owner of the mansion, Chris, fell into deep thought.

' What should I ask for as an alternative reward?'

a few days ago.

In a non-gong banquet (論功行賞) that takes place in front of everyone, Roman Dmitry carried out his own words.

Commander Jonathan of the Knights Templar was given a role suitable for each person, such as the commander of the Imperial Knights, Felix as the commander of the Imperial Palace, and Fernando as the commander of the Capital Guard. Gold coins were paid out.

Chris also.

gained enormous wealth.

The splendid mansion we are currently staying in was also a statue of Roman Dmitry, so we didn't have to worry about money in the future.

the problem is.

Roman Dmitry's reward did not end there.

"I don't know what you really want. I'll give you a full moon in the future. If there is something you think you need, come to me directly and ask for it. I will give enough rewards to those who have done it."

Choice of Compensation.

it was extravagant

Instead of a special position, Chris was able to choose his own reward, and he had to worry about it for several days.

Roman Dmitry said there is no limit to the rewards.

If people like Chris left the SS and wanted a wealthy life, they promised to be willing to allow a new life.

ha.

A sigh came out.

It felt like my brain was full.

In fact, Chris didn't go to war for compensation, and he couldn't figure out how to use the enormous wealth he had in his hands.

If I had a family to take care of, I might have thought of a really peaceful retirement.

There was nothing more important to him now than his growth as a swordsman.

Yes.

I didn't even want to give up the reward.

After thinking about it for a while, Chris got up, leaving the car almost untouched.

"I should probably meet other people."

The options are not exclusive to him.

other people.

If he met people who had already asked for compensation, Chris thought that the decision would be a little easier.

* * *

first character.

It was Count Fabius.

Upon visiting his newly-assigned estate this time, Chris was guided to a luxurious mansion that was truly eye-popping.

It was truly a golden feast.

From the outside, it was obvious that he was a wealthy man, and when he arrived in the room, even the teacup shimmered in gold.

' Is the teacup made of pure gold?'

It was indeed Fabius.

yet.

Count Fabius appeared with a bright face, dangling with ornaments as colorful as the exterior of the building.

"Chris! welcome!

"It's been a while, Marquis Fabius."

Yes.

Fabius was no longer a count but a marquis, and as if he had been eating well and living well, his skin was plump and oily on his face.

Marquis Fabius sat down and smiled softly.

Dmitry's real power, like Chris, was included in the list of contacts to be specially managed by the Marquis Fabius.

"But what are you doing here?"

" I came here because I wanted to know what the non-gong peddler asked for. Of course, it is a rough estimate, but I think my choice will be easier if I hear the situation firsthand."

"Oh, was that a problem?"

Choice of Compensation.

Few people were included in that category, and it was not clear exactly what each individual asked for.

But it was obvious that he was Marquis Fabius.

The luxurious environment was more than what he received as a war bounty, so people thought he had something special from Roman Dmitry.

It was as expected.

Marquis Fabius said.

"It is not difficult to talk about compensation. I longed for undying riches and power from my lord. If you want to live your whole life in awe, isn't reward alone enough? Then the lord granted the land here. It is the home of a person who was purged during the civil war in Cairo, and it is a fertile land with fertile land and gold mines behind it for generations. Especially since I am in a very important position that runs through Dmitry and Cairo, my lord said that if I cultivate a good foundation here, my power and wealth will be eternal. Heh heh heh, isn't that great?

Fabius was originally a nobleman in Cairo.

However, some of these people changed their affiliations, and instead of selling their original land to Cairo, they were granted new territory by Roman Dmitry.

Dmitry expanded the territory a little as the uprising was over, as well as the area to the northeast.

This was part of the promise with Cairo, and the lands that lost their owners in the process were given to people who made such a contribution, such as Marquis Fabius.

of course.

Not everyone was like that.

As Dmitry grew into an empire, some people moved to the Arcadia continent to choose a new life.

"I mean. I will devote my life to serving my master. It is true that I have played a role in this war, but how often do you find a country that rewards you as much as this? I am ready to dedicate my life to this for the sake of my master. When it comes to satisfaction with the reward, I am very, very, very, very satisfied."

burst into laughter.

The bright face was a figure that looked really happy.

' That's great.'

Chris admitted it.

Marquis Fabius was given a reward with a guaranteed future, and as Roman Dmitry said, he will be able to live in wealth and glory for the rest of his life.

What would happen if he wanted the same reward himself?

If you move to Arcadia and occupy fertile land, you may enjoy more power than Fabius.

However.

did not agree

Chris asked what suddenly came to mind.

"But there was another building going up right next door, what is it for? It was quite large for general use and caught my eye."

"Oh, is it?"

Heck, he laughed.

Marquis Fabius bowed his head and met Chris' gaze with a sly face.

"I am trying to build my own harem. Wouldn't that be a man's true romance, hahahaha.

It was certain.

Fabius was truly a man who truly enjoyed the rewards of war.

* * *

second character.

It was Felix.

After visiting him and asking the same question, Felix took Chris somewhere.

" This place?

"It is the site of a new tower."

It was a large piece of land.

The workers were busy working, and Chris was completely overwhelmed by the sheer size of it.

"Actually, the Imperial Horse Tower was my requirement from the very beginning. By building a horse tower representing the Dmitry Empire, we hoped to establish a system for discovering talent and nurturing wizards within the empire. To do this, facilities commensurate with its status and a huge budget every year were required, and the lord granted all of this. Rather, in the case of a budget, you promised more than I expected."

new tower.

Felix looked at him with a proud face.

The fact that Phoenix, who had lived in poverty in the Frankish Kingdom, had grown to this extent was heartbreaking.

"Actually, I want Chris to be honest with himself. Some say that the reward I want is good for the national interest, but this is purely an exercise of my personal desires. The horse tower created by this Felix would be the best on the continent. I will enjoy the wealth and glory that comes from the results, and it is my dream to become a person who made a mark in the history of magic. From what I've heard, Marquis Fabius was really given a reward for himself, but there's no way you shouldn't say that to Chris.

Rumors spread slowly.

As those who were rewarded praised Roman Dmitry, the people turned their tongues to the level of non-gong peddling.

It was a perfect match.

Although he did not allow a single precedent in the execution of Ares, he also promised to compensate excessively for those who made a contribution.

Marquis Fabius and Felix.

As those who were rewarded in such detail appeared, they proved the truth of Roman Dmitry's statement.

Chris didn't answer.

Standing up, I watched the scene of the tower being built for a while.

last character.

Jonathan was the commander of the knights.

After training for a while, he sat down next to Chris during a break with a sweaty face.

"So, how about now?"

Yes.

It was a fun question.

Captain Jonathan thought he was thinking about something, and then looked at Chris with a smile.

Kris. As you know, the Dmitry Knights of the past were not such a great group. Because of you and me, we barely had an assortment, but it was nothing compared to the whole kingdom. But that's it. A lot has changed now from then. I wanted everyone to belong to the Dmitry Knights, and my lord accepted everything I asked for for the development of the Dmitry Knights, without exception."

that also.

It was similar to Felix.

If Fabius purely followed individual desires, Commander Jonathan of the Knights wanted the system to develop in the future.

"That's why I have nothing but gratitude to the master. Even though they know it's certainly helpful to them, most of the leaders of this continent don't like to invest. But our lord, the emperor of the Dmitry Empire is different. Even though we asked for it as a reward for war, he gave us a more certain reward than we thought. Everything for my dreams and my personal happiness."

landscape in front of you.

It was beautiful.

Watching the people training under Dmitry's name, Commander Jonathan seemed to be in a dream.

"The governor is a great person. People are rewarded enough so that they will not regret their sacrifice for Dmitry, and no one dares to surpass the authority of their lord, even though their powers grow stronger. Kris. Whatever you choose, it doesn't matter. The person we serve is great and strong enough to embrace all our desires, so I hope you can honestly say what you really want. You will know. Talking to me, thinking over and over before coming to visit me. what you really want."

was clearly visible on his face.

Chris obviously had something he wanted, but it didn't seem like he knew exactly what it was yet.

like that.

The last meeting was over.

Even after the sun went down and I went to bed, I couldn't sleep all night because of the thoughts that were cluttering my head.

And the next day.

Chris got the unexpected news.

Before him, it was news that Kevin had gone to Roman Dmitry for compensation.
