Chapter 230 – Eating the Land (3)
Anyway, when I said that, Carmina said.
“So, if there is someone who pioneers the land, most of the land is usually given to him or her. “It is right for the country to take about 20% of the land taken from the country in order to use it as a road between the country and that land.”
Carmina says, “Then, in return for using the road, taxes can be collected and the land for the people to live on will increase, which is a benefit to the country.”
I felt a little strange because it was my first time seeing Carmina’s pharaoh mode in a long time.
Seeing my gaze like that, Carmina seemed a little embarrassed, perhaps because it had been a while since she had been there, and cleared her throat and continued speaking.
“It would be a different story if the development was under the direction of the country and solely through the power of the country, but in this case, it is a development that is being achieved by borrowing the power of the people, so I think it is excessive for the country to take half of the land. Is leisure wrong? Lilith?”
“No, it’s just as you said. Carmina, you are right that they are too greedy. “That too, very excessively.”
After listening to Carmina’s words, I felt like I knew why Hoaran frowned and why Lilith kept grinding her teeth.
“I think I know who asked for these conditions. He’s like that greedy goblin… I didn’t put him in that position just because he was good at managing money. “He doesn’t give up on the budget, but he’s greedy for money.”
Looking at the grumbling Lilith, it seemed like there was someone at the top who orchestrated this incident in this way… A member of the world government.
The only member of the world government that I know of is Namgung Muhyul, but in the case of Lilith, Hoaran, and Justitia, they are the twenty-two heroes who established the world government, so I don’t know about the human members who are relatively frequently replaced, but they haven’t been there in particular since they took the seats. It was natural that lawmakers from other races who had changed or not knew about it.
Anyway, Hoa-ran said as I was looking at Lilith, who was talking about not only this incident, but also a lot of things related to the dispenser.
“The problem is that the entity that divides the land is the world government. “It is very disturbing that it is not even half of the rights to the purified land.”
“Is it so? Why on earth… Ah.”
I wondered why Hoaran said that, but soon found out for myself.
When I thought about it, not all land was the same.
Because there was a land commonly called the Yolk Land.
Now that I think about it, it really is quite a disadvantage.
I worked so hard to purify the land, but it seemed so unfair if the world government took it all away and gave me a piece of land that could not be used in a corner somewhere as your share.
I need it anyway, so that Ariad can be by my side… Even though it is the land where I will plant the seeds of the World Tree I received from Ariad, I also want it to be in a good location.
While I was thinking that, Lilith suddenly spoke to me.
“Hey, Hanzo. “Call that guy named Namgung Muhyul.”
I asked back in confusion at Lilith’s sudden words.
“Now?”
“Now.”
“No, anyway, isn’t it too late? “If you suddenly ask me to bet…”
“Why are you talking so much when I tell you to make a phone call?”
I walked because I was told to walk.
I felt like I would be screwed if I didn’t walk.
-…Yes, I received a call. Kang Han-jo? Why did you suddenly call me…
“Uh, that’s it.”
Slurp, slurp.
Before my eyes, I saw letters that Lilith had begun to carve into the air with her tail.
[Say it as I say it.]
When I saw the words written like that, I nodded.
-Hanzo?
“Actually, I’m calling because I have a question about the purification project you mentioned earlier.”
-Business side… Yes, I will answer if I can.
“I’m sorry for being late. Then…”
-Yes, yes… I understand. Then, we will revise the business plan in that direction…
“Ah yes…”
What.
I just said what Lilith said, but something changed right then and there.
As the wives said earlier, not only will half of the purified land be given to those who purified the land, but the world government will also pay a price for the remaining half of the land instead of taking it for free, and participants will be excluded from the project. Should we say that all general expenses have been changed to be paid for by the world government?
And, I was given additional benefits as an individual.
If the simple ‘right to participate’ in this matter and the world government hiring a hunter clan were the previous price, then the price I had to pay when the world government took half of the land purified by me was almost twice as high as that of others. …
At first, Namgung Muhyul was complaining that it was difficult to change the plan so suddenly, but at some point he started to panic, and when he saw that it had ended up like this, he wondered how on earth this had happened.
And I couldn’t believe that this was all thanks to Lilith, who wrote down what I had to say with her tail.
I just said what Lilith said, so why did it end up like this?
In the end, it was me who spoke, but I couldn’t understand it at all.
But I’m not sure, but I do know that it’s awesome.
Lilith is awesome.
Even Carmina, who was building a country right now, was looking at Lilith with an expression of admiration on her face.
It seems I’m not the only one who felt that way, so the release was definitely great.
Anyway, I thought this was it, but I could still see Lilith’s tail moving.
So, this time, I just passed it on to Namgung Muhyul as is.
“Oh, and. Mr. Namgung Muhyul?”
-Yes, yes… What’s going on?
“That’s it…”
I wondered what that meant, but I told Namgung Muhyul just as Lilith had written.
“If you don’t want the fox coming to eat the tiger, behave yourself well.”
-Yes? Yes? Hey, Hanzo? What does that mean…
Lilith told me to hang up, so I hung up.
I wondered if it was okay to do this to a member of the world government, but seeing Lilith’s relieved expression made me feel better.
“But, Lilith. “What does that mean?”
I didn’t understand how a fox could catch and eat a tiger, so I asked, and Lilith said, looking at Hoaran, “What is it?”
“Over there, Hoa-ran is the one who did this because you only trust him, right? The purification of other areas will only be done as a blindfold, and the main focus will be on the Pyongyang area… Or the entire area above. “The overall plan itself is you… To be exact, it will be a plan that includes Hoaran, who will cooperate with you.”
“Uh, really?”
“If it was easy to do in the first place, they would have done it on their own a long time ago. The reason I haven’t been able to do it before is because I couldn’t do it. “As for Pyongyang alone, if the world’s governments try to clean it up on their own… It is a budget, but it will take at least 50 years.”
That too.
Come to think of it, it seemed like Hoaran and Lilith had once said that it would take well over a hundred years to purify the poisonous poison that had been spread in Sacheon, which had been devastated by the evil evil.
“Anyway, since you are being too greedy on such a topic… I warned you not to cross the line. “If you get too fussy, Hoaran won’t stay still.”
It was only after hearing the explanation that I could understand that Lilith was warning Namgung Muhyul by comparing it to the protection of a house guard.
The world government, which is a tiger, borrowed the power of Hoaran, a fox, so it’s a bit different from the lion idiom I knew.
The fox in our house was definitely strong enough to kill and eat a tiger.
“…Even so, aren’t you using my name too arbitrarily? Release.”
“What’s going on between us? “Do you feel bad that they look at you and Hanzo very rudely?”
When Lilith said that, she muttered and looked at Ho Aran swallowing her saliva.
“…Well, it’s definitely the kids’ fault this time, so let’s move on. If I had tried to do it the same way, there would have been a lot of resistance from other children. “I guess it can’t be helped.”
In the end, it seemed like Hoarand decided to just go along with Lilith’s words.
“Anyway, are we done now?”
When I asked that question after seeing Lilith, who had caused Namgung Muhyul so much stress that made him lose his hair, looking refreshed, Lilith, who was wagging her tail as if she was happy, shook her head.
“No. That’s it, they should make you pay separately for what they tried to manipulate.”
“Separately…? “What on earth are you going to do?”
“You are given the right to invite up to 10 people, whether individuals or groups, to participate. Even if we are excluded, there are still 5 left, right?”
“However?”
“First of all, let’s sell four of them for a reasonably high price… Then, call him over and tell him.”
I know he’s selling it, but I don’t know who he is.
So, when I was making a puzzled expression, Lilith looked at me and said.
“Liliana, if you just call her, she’ll be in serious pain over there. It would be difficult to refuse that. It’s a right that was already decided to be given to you… And since they’ve already heard the warning, Hoa-ran will be caught. If only Liliana cooperates… Yes, there will be enough labor. For the little things, you can just order Wearhoney Bees to do it. “Anyway, they will unconditionally follow whatever you say.”
“Ah.”
Uh… But is that still possible?
Although I have the right to invite anyone who vouchsafes me to participate, can I give it to Liliana, the queen of an autonomous nation recognized by the world government…?
“If you tease me, you shouldn’t have been joking in the first place.”
Seeing Lilith snort “Hmph,” I decided to just do as I was told.
“If there had been a talent like Lilith in Yeo’s country, she would have definitely made Yeo Prime Minister. A little… I guess she was difficult to deal with, but she was.”
I don’t think it’ll end up being a bit difficult to handle.
Maybe if she had someone like Lilith or the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Lemaire, she wouldn’t have tried to change the Pharaoh if she was wrong… At least she could have done something and destroyed Carmina’s earthen pot when she was trying to hold a festival. I must have tried to do it.
However, she sympathized with Carmina’s words and nodded her head.
It’s definitely true that this release was incredibly reassuring.
“As expected, Lilith, I believed in you.”
“…Noisy.”
Why do you get angry even when I praise you?
