Chapter 226: Afternoon at Asedgone's Residence
“Have you admitted your mistake?”
"Whether it was a mistake or not..."
Just then, Ye Kai's remote control beeped in his hiding place. He apologized and stood up.
"Hello, His Highness Ye Kai."
"Hello, Mr. Murul."
Although Murul had caused trouble just after noon, Ye Kai expressed his opinion respectfully.
"Mr. Muruel is here."
When Ye Kai returned to his seat and first informed the other party of this matter, it seemed that it was something that could be discussed.
"Hmm. I don't think you'll have a problem with the manufacturing drawings for the Reversal Bracelet. Is it about the commotion at the Academy? Or maybe about Therementz?"
(Does he even know these things? They are just trifles to this man.)
Ye Kai couldn't help but be surprised. He thought he needed to explain the situation from the beginning, but now he realized that this was unnecessary.
"Mr. Oli seemed to be unable to tolerate it, as if he had refused. So he turned to Mr. Murul for help... entrusted him with the matter and asked him to provide assistance."
"In that case, if you don't mind, I won't say anything."
Ye Kai frowned in his heart. Even though he stuttered a little, it seemed that Graud saw through him.
"It's okay. I won't be so boring as to meddle in other people's affairs."
"If Count Matanali was involved, we could have ruled him out. We won't let them get away with anything like this. These people have a keen nose and can only cause trouble."
“So please don’t involve me in this kind of thing.”
Glaud smiled lightly, looking at Ye Kai with half-opened eyes. If he followed him carelessly, he might be forced to take on the task of crushing others.
To those who would do whatever it takes to promote Holzlein, the conservatives who overlap with the anti-magic boxer faction seem to be extremely annoying.
“Things seem to be going really well with the academy. I appreciate that.”
"Thanks to the Marquis for his hard work in recruiting employees. And the children also worked hard."
"You are there so they don't feel abandoned and feel like they are part of society, which is also very important."
Originally, the problem of orphans should have been a headache for the royal palace, but the existence of the orphanage solved all the problems, so Graud expressed his sincere gratitude. More importantly, he could easily foresee that it would become a treasure trove of talents in the future.
A small shift in thinking produced more than two birds with one stone. For Glaud, gratitude was cheap.
"Can you take care of the adults too?"
“No. That’s the Kingdom’s job. I won’t get involved.”
Ye Kai is willing to lend a hand to children who have difficulty living independently. If he is not careful, there will be adults who want to take advantage of them, so he tries to help them as much as possible.
But adults are different. If they want, they can take care of themselves. If you blindly provide assistance, they will only become dependent. Although Ye Kai can think of some rescue measures, he deliberately does not intervene.
If he was doing anything, it might be providing relief food everywhere, but that was just a means to attract lost children.
"Since we are mainly engaged in security-related business, with the addition of public works, the situation should have improved a lot, but this is not a fundamental solution. Well, if we can muddle through and maintain it until the generation of the academy, maybe we can get by."
Whether it's a magic accumulator or a one-time magic device, they all require a certain skill to make. For those adults who can't participate, they provide jobs that anyone can do through public works. This is a viable strategy during the current economic boom, but there is no plan to think that this strategy can be implemented continuously.
“Is it really okay? When those kids are really ready to step up, you’ll start to see nobles starting to live on the streets.”
"If a family of that magnitude collapses, it is better for us to let it collapse. The nobility has increased too much over the course of history. The kingdom's pockets are not deep enough to bear any more burdens."
Although Ye Kai's words were half a joke, for Glaud, this seemed to be a good opportunity for screening.
If it were a medieval noble, they would probably rise and fall on their own through territorial disputes. However, the nobles of this world are fighting for power with monsters and have no time for territorial disputes. Unless they are extremely incompetent, they may disappear, but usually, the number of nobles will only increase.
"By the way, what happened to your companions? Were they too lazy as adventurers and abandoned?" "They occasionally go to the forest. Today they went to Kiha Village in the north. I heard that they have friends in Tulio's original team."
Tulio and two other people had been heading towards Kiha village since this morning.
"I was busy with the approval of the Ludo Foundation, and my going there might cause a commotion, so I decided not to go."
"Kiha Village? That's where Monolicot is produced."
“You really know everything.”
“I’m tired of all the trouble with Monolicot over the past year or two. That’s all.”
"That's really troublesome for you."
"It's really troublesome that you chose me to kill time."
Laughter echoed in the living room of Ased Ghosn's house in the afternoon.
————————————————————
It’s harvest time in Kiha Village. Unless the weather is very bad, Monolicot can be harvested at least twice a year. This year is the second harvest.
In the hot and rainy areas in the north, sometimes even three harvests can be harvested. But Ma Wei believes that it is impossible to produce fruit that can be shipped in such places because Monolicote cannot be pruned and picked in time.
This time, because Sabon is still able to move, he can rely on his family alone to cope with the harvest, but the next time, he may need to ask the union for help.
“Ahhhhhhhh!”
Ma Wei responded to the strange, inhuman sound he suddenly heard.
"Hey, Sabon! Ferrio is saying something."
"It's okay! It's just a butterfly flying by."
The child, who had just woken up from a nap, squeezed into the cradle and reached out to catch a butterfly that flew past his eyes, but the butterfly suddenly disappeared into a huge mouth.
"No, why eat it there, Blake."
"Why?"
"Hey, you look pretty good, Sabang."
“Tulio!!”
"What's wrong!?"
When the couple heard the familiar and nostalgic voice, they immediately turned around and saw a familiar face. They cheered with joy.
