Chapter 80: 81

Chapter 81 - Solution

 

"Are you saying that you are defending me?"

"Fufufu, don't be frightened. Don't be scared. I'm not trying to eat you. The story is simple. You gave the surname Barca to the villagers through me. That's all you have to do is explain that and everything will be all right."

"I don't understand why Bishop Paul would take the trouble to do that.

"It's a simple reason. You are the cause of all this. The reason I was able to move up in rank and go from being a priest to being a bishop was because of the mana you gave me. If you disappear, there is a danger that my rank will fall."

"...... I see, I see. I guess it can go down too, right?"

"It is true that there are such cases. In addition, I would like to keep the story that 'Ars, who performed the naming in the church under my jurisdiction, abused the secret of the naming ceremony to increase his power' hidden as much as possible."

"Oh, you mean that scandalous story."

"It's only natural that I would want to maintain a good relationship with you in the future. It's not really that uncommon for there to be some errors in the reports to the higher-ups by us Bishops."

"Church organizations are scary. ....... No, but it would help if you did."

Well, it won't be free... After all, your actions were too conspicuous. At the very least, let's ask you to give a donation before or after the procedure."

　More money talk.

　No, that can't be helped either.

　In order for a nobleman to make his subordinate a knight, he must make a donation through the church and then have him named.

　So the increase in the number of knights means that the church will receive money.

　This time, the number of people who could use magic exploded around Barca village.

　If I were to report that I asked Bishop Paul to name it and spread the magic, then of course there would have to be a price to pay for it.

　I guess that means I need to pay for the false report.

"Okay, I understand. Let's pay it. How much is it?"

"That's right. Roughly this much would be enough?

"Hey! Isn't that too much? All the money I've saved up so far is going to be blown away."

"So it's not an amount you can't afford. To be honest, I'm surprised. Normally, you wouldn't be able to pay such an amount. It's just as I expected from someone who has done so much."

　Damn.

　That's easy for this guy to say.

　I'm not sure how much money I've made so far from the sales of the Valkyries, the sales of the magic mushrooms, and all the other things I've done.

　Is that really a fair price?

　I wonder if he knew the total amount of my assets before he sated the price.

"'Wait a minute. I don't mind giving you all the money I have if it's to solve this problem. But if I'm going to spend all my money just to solve my relationship with the church, it's meaningless. Bishop Paul is supposed to propose a solution that includes the Fontana family as well, isn't he?"

"Hmmm, I'm glad you noticed that. I'll take care of that problem too."

"Can you do something about it, Bishop Paul?"

"Yes, I think so. There is a reason why I was absent from this place until the other day. There is a reason why I was away from this place until the other day, and that was to decide on an area where I could organize a number of churches along with my elevation to the rank of bishop. That's why I was asked to be in charge of the churches in the Fontana territory, including this village of Barca."

"Fontana territory? Does that mean that Bishop Paul is in charge of all the churches in the Fontana family's territory?"

"That's right."

"That's great, but ......, I don't know how much of an advantage that will be in our dealings with the Fontana family."

"I see. Well then, here's a question for you. This time, you have antagonized the Fontana family. So, from the Fontana family's point of view, what do you think they are paying the most attention to in this disturbance?"

"The point the Fontana family is paying attention to? Since they lost to me once, aren't they wondering if they can win next time?"

"That's not true. You don't see the essence of the problem at all."

　What the heck.

　I was told that I don't understand the essence of the problem again......

　I think I almost got in trouble with the lumberjacks and Maddock told me that a long time ago.

　At that time, it was like I was neglecting their pride as lumberjacks.

"Is it about how to maintain the pride of the nobility?"

"Oh, no, not at all. Listen, Ars. The most important thing for the Fontana family is to find out where the magic used by the Barca people came from."

"Where did it come from? I'm sure the nobles would look into the fact that I was naming them, but they haven't figured it out yet?"

"No, that's not it. There are not many people who can use magic. Not to mention that farmers can't give it to others. Then who would do it? It would be none other than others of the nobility. However, none of the magic used by the Barca people belonged to the Fontana family. In other words, some other nobleman might be giving magic to the peasants of the Fontana territory and causing a riot. That's what the Fontana family thinks."

　I see.

　It's only natural to think that.

　The starting point was the fact that the forest was being cultivated at a rapid pace and walls like forts were being built on the land.

　It was thought that there might be discontents.

　The moment they moved to seize the land, one of their soldiers was killed, and the peasants were incited to riot and even attacked the noble army.

　If you think about it this way, it may not be a simple peasant rebellion.

　Rather, it is more normal to think that there is something artificial about it.

　Other nobles may have been involved.

　Isn't it natural to think so?

"I'm going to go talk to the Fontana family and tell them that the other nobles had nothing to do with this matter and that I was the one who gave the magic you use to the peasants. I will then say that there was no interference by any noble, and that the inhabitants were only rebelling because they were about to have their land taken away. This is something I can say because I have known you since you were a child."

"Isn't that a danger to Bishop Paul?"

"That's why we do the groundwork in advance. However, it will be impossible without your donation."

　Does persuasion and laying the groundwork cost money too?

　You know what they say about hell and back.

　I'm sure Bishop Paul is in danger, but I guess that's why my presence is so important to him.

　The rank he's already attained may be lost if I die.

　If that's the case, I'm sure he'll actively work hard for his own good even though he says he's doing it for me.

　Thus, I decided to pay Bishop Paul to go and talk to the Fontana family in order to solve the problem.

TLN: LMAO. Paul's raking in the big money.
