Chapter 81: The Reappearance of the Fairy Miko Ji's Affair
Seeing that Crounpis had brought out an irregular cushion, Melphis couldn't refuse, so she had to sit on it gently, and then she felt something was wrong.
Is this an ordinary cushion? Are you sure it's not an elastic cushion? This kind of touch makes you want to move up and down all day...
"I said, Mellie, are you okay?" Luna looked worriedly at Melifiss, who was looking up and down inexplicably. She squinted at Crounpiss with a strange look: "This cushion is not enchanted.
Something weird?"
"How could there be something strange?" Cronpis argued that there really wasn't anything.
"No, I'm fine, I'm sorry! Because it's too cute." Melphis blushed and lowered her head.
"It's true, but is it like this?"
"Is it because humans are heavier? The impact and reaction force on the seat also increases." Star gave Melivis a step.
Even so, Melifiss could only apologize: "I'm very sorry. If I damage Lord Crowenpis's seat, I will..."
"It doesn't matter, this cushion was made eight years ago in order to learn more magic. Instead of using the one-time creation magic, I used creation magic to imitate the step-by-step process. Its durability is much higher than that of mithril.
It doesn’t matter how wildly you sit, if Meili likes the feeling of bouncing, this is for you."
"...Ah, yes, thank you very much." While Melphis lowered her head, she thought to herself whether you just said something extraordinary as if it was nothing. She was still familiar with the material. Judging from the feel, this
There is absolutely no material higher than mithril added to the seat cushion.
It’s okay, after all, he is a god. Even a cushion made of mundane things can escape common sense. What the hell is this soft cushion that is more durable than mithril? It feels like it is more than enough to be used as a shield that can rebound attacks?
Crownpis asked: "Okay, let's get down to business. I heard that the empire has recently asked for help from the temple. Are you still negotiating?"
"Yes, during national wars, medical institutions have the obligation to serve the country. This is both customary and legal. Of course, it is usually not free, which is easy to say, but considering that the goblin priests of the goblin temple have a power that is difficult for ordinary humans to resist
It is difficult to calculate the amount of tribute that the empire will pay to the temple for its use on the battlefield. Although it was considered to only let the priests be responsible for treatment, it is clear that there is instant healing magic on the battlefield, but they are treated like a medical team.
Being in the rear is a waste of tactical resources, but what if you are too close to the battlefield? It is easy to get involved in the battle because of the instability of the war, right?"
Although these are minor problems in ordinary countries? Sometimes it is enough for the country to use its power, and the price is determined by the country? But the level of force possessed by the Fairy Temple prevents any country from doing that.
"Can't the empire calculate the amount of tribute based on the ratio of the number of people treated and the number of injuries? As well as the number of assists the temple participated in and the number of enemies annihilated during the main attack?" Cronpith asked.
"That's it. I heard that it's usually difficult to make true statistics. In fact, even the last war when the empire expanded its territory? The actual reported results were more than half of the total local population that had been counted." Melphis smiled bitterly.
"How is that possible, haha! Obviously most civilians are living well." Sunny said happily.
"Apart from claiming credit and falsely reporting? The main problem is that injuries, killings, captures, executions, whipping corpses, and slave trading often occur on the same person? But because the execution force and the executioner are different, they will all be reported, so it is very confusing.
.Until accurate statistical methods are available, it may be difficult to calculate tribute using the method proposed by Crounpiss." Melphis explained.
Star followed the topic and joined in with a smile: "Then let's come up with a well-calculated plan. If we are more active in allowing countries that believe in the Fairy Temple to participate in the war, there will be no need to quarrel, right?
Let us share the results equally as an equal force in the alliance."
As for the occurrence of similar situations in the future - we will discuss it later. In fact, the goblins are not short of the income they can get from a war to pay tribute and donate commissions? This is the starting point for the topic of actively participating in the war.
"This... is a little bit." Merriface looked embarrassed. It could be seen that she had participated in the coordination with the higher-ups of the empire. The reason why she wanted to specifically talk about the tribute equal to the war reward was because the empire did not want the goblin saint.
The palace forces are directly involved, most often in the form of employment.
But the goblin made it so clear, so it was painful for Melphis to be caught in the middle.
"Ah? Is there any problem?" Star smiled playfully, "Meili, don't you have a development staff? Your cronies have a close relationship with the Duke's family, so it's not difficult to talk about it, right? Anyway, it's more specific.
Drest resolves all matters through believer officials, right?"
Don't force her to say it? "Merriface's position as Miko Princess seems to be high-end, but in fact she only plays with the fairies on a daily basis?" Then she sorted out the key conversations and conveyed them. With her personal skills, she also got some high-ranking officials in the empire.
Informal power? These are all up to you? But don’t mess around with things here at critical moments.
"Well..." Luna looked up at Melphis' troubled look, "Would it be more convenient to go to the Ministry of Magic to find Fluder? Although that guy does not participate in politics and military affairs, neither the emperor nor the cabinet can ignore him.
opinion.”
"No, no, no, no, no! Please, spare me." Melifis stood up in horror, waved her hands vigorously, and then hit her head heavily on the table. Even Claudius and Sunny were shocked.
I was so frightened by this character's crumbling reaction that I leaned back.
"Is there any hidden secret in this situation?" Star frowned slightly and raised his chin, "As for the secret road construction in preparation for the war, it must have passed through the goblin jurisdiction, but it did not go through the goblin temple, but the imperial military
Send someone in a private capacity to find Alfin, who we have little communication with, to smooth things over. Is there really a problem?"
Although the Fairy Temple cannot make everything about the empire public in front of it, it seems that some major public event has been successfully hidden from them, which is a bit unpleasant.
"It's been a long time since I've used it on Mellie. It's been a long time. Do you want to use mental magic?" Crounpis raised her face and looked down at the dark red-haired head on the table.
"... Wuwuwuwu, I also heard what Acris said, don't reveal that it was us who said this." Melifis slowly raised her head.
"What's the point of you suddenly coming up with a name that we don't recognize?" Cronpis asked awkwardly.
"That's Tajix's second daughter!" Melifis wondered if she had forgotten about her royal classmate.
