I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 93: SMUGGLING

Elos began to listen to the reports of these higher-ups as long as Elos was not in the Animal Man Kingdom, based on their reports then no major problems occurred. Even the Capital of Dyremann moved to become more prosperous, be it in terms of finances, agriculture, and monster materials that came from the Fjorten Maze.

Especially the monster materials that were the greatest attraction of the Animal Man Kingdom, thousands of adventurers from various kingdoms or merchants came to this place. With Elos's tax rule that everyone who came to the Capital of Dyremann and not the natives of the Animal Man Kingdom then they had to pay the tax through the gate.

In addition, the arrival of adventurers also made lodging, restaurants, blacksmiths, and drug stores become increasingly developed.

Upon hearing that there was no problem at all, Elos nodded in delight as the city he led could go in the right direction.

However, Elos did apply the rules he learned on earth to this city, but Elos could not be completely sure that all these rules he made would work.

When Elos thought of closing this meeting, Elage stood up "Master, actually I have an important news recently. At first I was thinking of resolving this matter myself so as not to trouble master, but the number of people doing this action the more that made my army completely insufficient to resolve this matter".

The new Elos would go back to sit and wave his hand "Tell me, what's the matter?".

Elage began to explain "This is not a very big problem, but if it continues then the losses we experience can become even greater. I got word that there are some merchant groups who secretly smuggle goods through our territory and take them to the Kingdom of Ray, most of the merchants who do this smuggling are from the Federation of Merchants".

"Compressions? Why were the guards and officers completely unaware of their actions? Supposedly as long as the merchant passed through the walls of the Capital of Dyremann or any other city in the Animal Man Kingdom, all items should be inspected! Therefore, why are the merchants still able to smuggle goods through our territory and bring them to the Ray Kingdom?" said Elos with a gloomy face.

Elos knows that if this smuggling continues, the losses of the Animal Man Kingdom could be even greater. After all every item that the merchants managed to smuggle through the Animal Man Kingdom, then they did not need to pay any taxes.

After 1 merchant succeeded then another merchant must have followed him, when that happened then the tax that these merchants were supposed to pay to the Animal Man Kingdom would have disappeared, without the taxes of these merchants, they would be poor again.

Elage hesitated for a moment to answer Elos' question, but Elos directly hit the table and said angrily "Elage, quickly say! This problem should be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences could be fatal! Were those merchants secretly smuggling goods through the Deathly Forest?".

Elage shook his head "Master, I'm not too sure of this information, but according to some spies I spread throughout the Animal Man Kingdom that it was on our own soldiers who helped with the smuggling, it seems that our soldiers in charge of guarding the gates and borders are taking bribes from these merchants. Therefore, the merchants could pass through our territory without having to be inspected by the soldiers and pay taxes".

Elos took a breath to suppress his anger, as it turned out that this was due to the greed of the soldiers who were supposed to check the merchants merchandise and take their taxes.

If the disease is not cleared up as quickly as possible, Elos believes the disease will become progressively larger and spread throughout the Animal Man Kingdom. As long as this disease was already too big then it was very difficult to eliminate, it might even be able to destroy the entire Animal Man Kingdom.

Elos looked at Bare coldly "Bare, I know that your role in this war is very true, but aren't you the one in charge of leading the soldiers throughout the Animal Man Kingdom? Now give me an explanation, General Bare! Why are your soldiers taking bribes that are so detrimental to this entire kingdom!".

Bare was already sweating coldly, the pressure that Elos gave him was immense.

But Bare did not blame Elos because he was the general of all the soldiers of the Animal Man Kingdom, so the soldiers who took bribes were his fault.

Elos nodded with a cold face "Bare, I give you a week, if you can't clean up this bribery problem then leave your general post, I'll choose someone else who can do it".

"Okay sir! Bare will not disappoint master", Bare shouted full of decisiveness, there was a powerful killing aura in his eyes.

Bare was already very angry towards the soldiers who accepted this bribe, because their actions had Bare blamed. Not to mention being a loyal soldier, Bare also hated the actions of these soldiers who were deceiving the kingdom for money.

Elos stared at everyone "You should also help Bare as best you can, don't let the disease get any bigger in the Animal Man Kingdom".

"Okay, sir!", replied everyone in the room.

"Then you can go. Bare, you only have a week! I don't care how you clean them up, but as long as you can't finish it a week later then you're out of office" Elos said

Everyone slowly left the room, especially Bare.

After all he was the most panicked person, Bare did not mind to release his general, but Bare was not interested in disappointing Elos again.

Bare is a loyal warrior figure, especially Elos has repeatedly brought prosperity to the Animal Man Kingdom that had been close to death. Even against the powerful Ray Kingdom, Elos never lost. Therefore, Bare had been completely loyal to Elos.

Now left in the room were Elos, Riona, Lumina and Kronev. These 3 women had absolutely no important position in this kingdom, this leaves them with no work to be done as quickly as possible.

Elos stood up from his chair "How about we go to meet a dead man and meet him in the middle of the road, I'm sure that man must have been conscious".

the 3 women nodded without any objection, Elos immediately took them away to the hospital of the Capital of Dyremann.

Since becoming a prosperous city, the capital of Dyremann was visited by many doctors who made Elos previously decided to build this hospital. However, the more the population, the possibility of someone getting sick every day will be greater, so the existence of a hospital is very necessary.

As Elos was led by a doctor to the room where the man was resting, Elos opened the door to find a man sitting on his bed staring at the window.

When he heard the door open, the man turned to look at Elos.

Elos had to admit that this man had a slightly handsome face as well, this man had short silver hair as well as a sharp gaze that the soldiers most likely only had.

"Are you Mr Elos?", asked the man politely to Elos.
