If the other Heroes knew that we won"t be able to pay tax to Hallia, they will definitely come to destroy it. Thinking about that, Mondol-san asked me if I might have any Ideas to stop this, but at the moment, I don"t have really any plans yet.
「Can"t we just put that on hold for now?」
「Wha, why so?」
Well, for me, it"s very simple.
「I"m planning to complete the rebuilding of the beastman country before the next tax collection is to be scheduled」
「Wha…Is, isn"t that impossible?」
「Nope, I can easily do that」
I"ll definitely complete it in less than 1 year before everyone"s eyes. After all, there"s nothing impossible for me to do.
「Of course, I can"t do it alone. I will need the partic.i.p.ation of beastmen in doing so, as long as we can get as many as possible. I will be needing them for my fairy magic 」
When the word "Fairy Magic" pops out, Meinen-san"s eyes change into that of curiosity. Mondol-san also made a surprised reaction, saying「Is there really such a magic existing…」. It seems like I couldn"t convince them with just words. Well, that couldn"t be helped, because it was something that only existed in myth.
「Wha, what kind of magic is it?」
「Me too, I want to know. It is not even recorded in history books after all.」
「As a matter of fact, I have been studying it for a long time, but even I think that it"s a really strange magic on its own. It can pretty much do anything I could imagine. In exchange, the burden would be making me feel like my head is burning up, but if there are a lot of people 『Believing』then the burden is greatly reduced. I would still end up tired after though」
At the times that I did it at a concert or at the battle in the stadium where all of the audience were made to believe, even if I used large scale fairy magic beyond my limits, I didn"t feel the burning sensation when I do it forcefully. That"s why magic that would be on the scale of total impossibility even if it goes way beyond my limit, I would be able to perform it without losing my consciousness.
「What a ridiculous power that magic possess… is that really magic?」
「Well yeah. Remember on the final battle with the Hero, all of those special effects and unthinkable happenings were done by fairy magic, can you be convinced with that?」
「Oohh… Indeed, that kind of power was so ridiculous, that you might only find something like that in a picture book. I see, so that power was boosted because of the audience too」
I can definitely use it to build a new nation. Perhaps, even the beast capital itself could be reproduced. Next would be the location, it should be somewhere close by but will be out of reach from the heroes. When I asked if there is such a good location around here, Belmour-san answered that there is and explained about the area.
「If you walk off from the highway of Haval all the way to the east, you can see a vast forest that spreads out. That area is a place that hasn"t been pioneered and even adventurers aren"t active in that area. I also think that it would be a good place if were talking about trades」
I was wondering if the place where was talking about is where I first met Arena. I see, if that is the case, then I will have to plan thoroughly, just in case an emergency happens.
「Then, let"s do just that. How much time is needed for the Beaastmen to be procured? 」
「Let"s see… probably within a month at the very least」
「Got it. Then we will be proceeding in that direction. After that, could I ask for a few workers? Ones that could do civil work if possible? I want them to teach beastmen in order for them to properly operate in the future.」
「Un, I"ll have that arranged. Is there still anything you would need? 」
「A proper punishment for the captured Heroes」
At the moment, Slave Collars were attached to the Heroes in order to limit their actions, so they won"t be able to report their failure. This year"s tax collection have also been settled, and there would still be a year before they come back to collect it.
「About that, I"m really sorry for not being of use since I don"t really have any idea how to handle such things. I will be staying in the capital for about a week, and so you call contact me again at some other time. And then… ah right, please pa.s.s this to Belmour-san」
Taking out a pink stone in my pocket, I pa.s.sed the stone which was received by Belmour-san. The stone itself used to be transparent, but because of my magic power, it became pink spreading out from its center. I have only created only one of such at the moment, since it takes a huge amount of magic power in order to make one.
「If you put magic power in it, I will be able to react, and will transfer in the stone"s location. Use it, only in emergency」
「A, Amazing… I got it」
Belmour-san held it carefully in her hand. No, you don"t really have to treasure it like that. Mondol-san was whispering「A tool from the Era of Myth…」 as he stares at the object. It only works for me you know?
「And then last would be, to look for someone who can be the country"s leader」
「Are there any royalty who survived during after that annihilation?」
「It"s in this castle. The last one you could say, the daughter of the King… but she"s still too young to be crowned」
「Is it fine for me to meet her?」
If there"s anyone who could stand as a leader, that would make things easier. Even a young girl like her would have probably understood the state of her country to some extent, and I plan to make her take the responsibility of holding the reins of her country.
There might have also been other beastmen that were working in the castle who have survived. It would be great if I could find some of them. Answering to my inquiry, Mondol-san continued.
「It"s fine. I make sure that you would be able to meet her by tomorrow」
Hearing those words, Meinen-san said「I will immediately make arrangements. Please excuse me」, And belmour-san also said「I will be arranging for the procurement of beastmen that worked as civil officials」 and the both of them moved out. The only ones remaining was Mondol-san and the knight commander Magentsan.
