Tensei Shitara Slime Datta
Chapter 286: The Remaining Answer
Julius fights alone, without anyone's help.
And as Elrick says .. No, Julius is even smarter than he suggested.
He had started a business other than his studies without any nobles around him noticing it.
It was hiring people from other worlds at a high level. And it does all kinds of research to be a body that will give birth to new cultural activities.
It wasn't a gamble, but it seemed Julius won. Not only had he increased his hidden wealth, but he had also made enough money to fight the enemy forces trying to surround him and the other nobles.
However, this was partly due to the cooperation of the Hero members, Masayuki's side, who sometimes visited.
After all, the people from the other world that were hired were the ones Masayuki brought.
After doing a lot of research on all these facts, Diablo and Souei visit Elrick.
Through hearing about how Julius is like someone, they become convinced that there is a difference in what he shows to those around him, and what he really thinks.
They were also convinced that with Julius' personality, even if he became a sacred place to unify the Kingdom of Ingracia, he was not that stupid as being a puppet king.
They understand that he is hard on others, but even harder on himself.
“It looks like Julius is a serious and capable person. I am sure that many people will feel uncomfortable, the day he becomes king. ”
"You mean the Council people? I doubt they can do anything about that … "
Since he is under the supervision of the Committee now, there is nothing the Council can do, consisting of members of various nationalities.
Moreover, the last great cleaning had taken everyone who would be good at maneuvering like that.
"I did wonder .. But there might be such a person outside the Council?"
"Hm. I will not deny that possibility. ”
"Of course . ”
Said Souei gloomy.
In other words, it would be best to consider that this Kingdom of Ingracia was being targeted by someone.
(I understand. I-i understand. This must be on the path of the economic war that Rimuru predicted ..)
They cannot fight in a war of military force.
However, in terms of economic exchange, there is a possibility of standing above the rest.
Those who think this way may have triggered such an economic war. If that was the case, the various developments would now be connected to a single line.
After all, this has been predicted as an unavoidable path when negotiating for coexistence and mutual prosperity.
However, such a method would not work against Tempest …
If you want to advocate for democracy, then the numbers are all fake.
It would be one thing if it was only domestically, but when something like that
multi-cultural council makes this – decision not about the proportion of the total population or the power of the country, even if things are decided by the majority in the name of the words of interest such as equality …
The decision of the three schools is a good example.
Voting by a majority is by no means a system of equality.
A country should not be swayed by the opinions of other countries.
This is why Tempest opted for a bicameral system. It took on its own system of government which could be called democracy under imperial rule.
There's no way to use it.
Then what can you do?
The only way left is to force them to accept your terms, while using your economic ties as a shield.
This plan will take a very long time.
And the enemy has a surprising patience.
And they have seen the traces of those hands reaching not only Tempest, but also far into other countries.
This is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
(It's been a long time since I've had this fun ..)
Diablo doesn't understand economics, and he doesn't care.
He's not interested.
As someone who believes that you should take what you want, he is not interested in money.
Gold, silver, jewels. Diablo thought of things like bait to manipulate human greed.
What Diablo wanted in the true sense, was not something that an object could replace.
In negotiations, some conditions are put on the table, and both sides will discuss the possibility of compromise. But Diablo felt this was all pointless.
If the person is strong enough to turn the table, you must have the same amount of power, or there is no way to negotiate.
Diablo could not understand why some people put so much faith in the kindness or wisdom of others.
Although Diablo believed that promises should be kept, he would never make an appointment with someone who was not on par with him.
Because of all this, Diablo could only see this economic war that mankind had waged against Great Demon Lord Rimuru as futile.
(–How stupid. Even ignoring Lord Rimuru, to try and control the world through economics .. I would never allow such a thing.)
Diablo felt that anyone who could not understand this must be very stupid.
"Hey. You're not thinking of killing everyone behind him right now, are you? ”
"How dare you .. I may be restless after being separated from Lord Rimuru, but I am quite calm now. There's no way I'd think of anything like that. ”
Souei made a prick with the right timing. It was almost as if he could read his mind.
Diablo was surprised, but lightly denied it.
"Good then. Lord Rimuru has banned the conquest of others through violence. ”
As Souei said, the beloved Diablo master, Rimuru, cares deeply for humans.
And while he did not completely avoid using his power, he tried not to use it more than was necessary against other countries.
Since Diablo was always close, he could hardly ignore this, and he, of course, understood it.
Therefore, Diablo decided with the intention that he would also use his brain, rather than his strength, to face this opponent.
While this might be a war for humans, it was all a game for Diablo.
Humans – are weak, stupid, greedy, yet there are some with strong and noble souls and some who are more intelligent than demons.
He is not interested in economics, but he is interested in humans.
Hehehehe. Diablo sneered.
He felt that this game – this entertaining money game, will start soon.
And like that, the third day ended.
And in turn – the tumultuous fourth day begins.
