THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

chapter 97's

John nodded, “Continue, I listened, where did you find the difference.”

George nodded and continued, “After my investigation, it was actually the top Blacksmiths Magic of the Imperial city who came to my workshop with mediocre wages. It was the first time I was careful. Because from what I know, these people are quite arrogant and will not even see our Border city and mostly work directly for the nobles. So I guess they are mostly other Blacksmith Master disciples who are only here as spies. Recently, I saw one of the Blackwolf Head Disciples Blackwith and that was when I was convinced that most of these people were spies of other nobles or even the Royal family. I think a lot of creations from our city must be the cause of their interest. I was pretty sure that it was the other nobles.the domain that sent those spies in my workshop. “

John nodded and asked, “Oke, I understand the point, do those people still work in your workshop?” 

George remembered, “Well, there were 3 people working in my workshop, but after the ceremony, the, today the 2 of them cannot be seen after the recent event I guess they might enjoy the celebration. Meanwhile, the third person, as usual, was quite energetic every time he came to work. However, I've made sure to destroy all the blueprints beforehand so you don't have to worry about them but I'm worried about the safety of my men and myself because they might kidnap me if they were spy and desperate. “

John nodded and spoke to Taylor, “Hmm. As for the third one, he might not be a spy but someone who was truly interested. Taylor, did you get a spy in Ron's workshop? ” 

Taylor spoke relaying a report, “We were able to catch two spies from Ron's shop and from our investigation, they were spies from two marquis in the east who were also involved in the Soap business. I guess they want to get something because of market pressure. And it seems that Ron is pretty solid when it comes to hiring people because he easily trusts them and this is also one of the reasons, our Soap blueprint leaked to Prince Hector. “

John nodded and spoke, “Oke, from now on tell Jake to keep an eye on the people employed at George and Ron’s Shop, they should at least have a background check. However, we may actually see some spies, but 'don't arrest them if they are caught, we will use them for future purposes by misinforming them. Tell me about this later. I hope you don't mind overseeing your recruitment ” 

George smiled and agreed,” No , I will not, I will thank you because it will keep me and my people safe from potential danger. ”

The next day, there was great chaos throughout the Kingdom of Aelius when Ambassador Luke announced their agreement with Baron John.

Many people are surprised that one weapon can alleviate John's honorary status to Hereditary, while his status as a baron is promoted to Count which includes giving him the right of expansion into the wilds of the north.

This announcement greatly strengthened John's status throughout the Kingdom of Aelius as this agreement reinforced the fact that his new weapon was a real deal and hence the Royal family had already taken steps. 

Many nobles were quite shocked after hearing that the Royal Family had signed a deal with Baron John signifying that his new weapon was a big deal for the Royal Family.

***

Prince Casey had already arrived at Prince Hector's banquet and was gossiping with the other nobles, 

“Hmm .. It seems like he deliberately revealed the weapon before Prince Hector's Sun Festival Banquet and the fact that there was an announcement meant he intended to ruin Prince Hector's banquet. ” 

One of Marquis Chris' fellow nobles spoke up when he was interested in gossip,” I recently heard a rumor about Duke Evan being humiliated at the hands of the new rich man, he said, I wonder what kind of weapon he offered to the Royal family they promoted him to count while they also reduced his taxes compared to the duke. “

Viscount Rob thought as he laid down his thoughts, “Not that, Taxes on his territory were also abolished for the next 50 years. This privilege was mostly given to the Gods as the greatest contribution when a great war between countries occurred . “

Chris thought and put down his hypothesis, “I'm pretty sure they made a weapon that matched the Lorr Family years ago, I think, I would say it costs nothing to the Royal family this time aside from Noble's promotional deed. Mind you this lord only has a small land that is not even comparable to other kings so I guess the Royal Family doesn't even mind releasing its taxes for the next 100 years. However, I am very curious as to how Prince Hector reacted after hearing this news. and I firmly believe that Baron Mendez may be pleased that not taking action against that novice or that novice will get an excuse to invade his realm. “

Count Casey showed a mysterious smile as she said, “Yeah, I'm sure he's still in a dilemma right now because he's in a hot place right now that makes money while others salivate to storm the place or take revenge for humiliation in the past. And from that way, the Royal family completed this deal so quickly, I believe this weapon is quite decent. 

Well, recently I visited a restaurant called Hope and it was quite worth visiting that place besides all those slaves and half-humans. I'm glad I calmed down when I visited the place rather than rampaging about the slaves and half-humans or I would suffer the same fate as Duke Evan. I heard he was currently in bed and was heading somewhere. “Count Casey heaved a sigh of relief when she mentioned the previous meeting.

Viscount Rob was a Musclehead as he spoke with a proud smile about the northern border city, “Well, the city was not bad, it was quite clean even compared to the Imperial city. As for Slaves or Demi-humans, I have no problem with them, they are manners unlike the overbearing chefs from the restaurants working in the Imperial city that are currently funded by the Royal family, he said, they even expect great tips and compliments for the shit they make. Compared to the food served in Hope, the restaurant seemed to be meaningless to me at the moment. I'll just go to North-frontier City in terms of good food. “

Count Casey laughed when she heard Rob, “Hahaha, even I had to agree to it, however, do not speak this in front of others. Meanwhile, when did you visit the northern border town? I never got any information about you visiting that city. ” 

Rob grinned and told me about the incident,” huhuhu, well I disguised myself as a merchant when I visited there, the city felt better compared to the Imperial capital. How can I say, I think it feels freer unlike the fake mask we were trying to show in the Imperial city. “

Marquis Chris seriously advised them after hearing their gossip, “Well, I will still try to stay away from that city. My father recently warned me to stay away from the city and I thought it was already the eye of the storm after the previous disaster. In addition, now they have weapons that interest many people not to forget the fact that they have soap, paper, and new agents with which they make those walks. “

Count Casey nodded and spoke, “That's right, I guess I'll stay on the fence this time around in Prince Hector's conspiracy. I don't want to involve myself because my domain is close to a beginner domain, we don't even know the original weapon from the weapon called the ballista yet I can guess it's quite useful from the fact that the Royal Family immediately jumped on that weapon. I'm glad I'm not in Baron Mendez' position because it would be a pretty uncertain situation about the balance between the two Princes Hector and Baron John, no, I mean Count John. “
