Abel nodded to my question.

-That’s right. You have to meet some prerequisites to become a full-time resident.

“Can you tell me what the conditions are?”

-There are three conditions in total. First of all… … .

So Abel began to explain the conditions.

Three years.

It was a period during which I could remain as a temporary resident.

During that time, the first condition was to grow the city’s revenue by more than 50% each year.

The second condition was that the number of soldiers and knights be increased by at least 30% each year.

And the third and final condition is.

-Princess. He told me to liquidate all the illegal activities there. As soon as possible.

It was a story about growing the city legally.

‘You’ve put a lot of thought into it.’

I looked at Abel and asked quietly.

“I have a question about the city’s income and manpower.”

-What is it?

“Are you calculating the annual growth rate based on the previously captured income and personnel?”

Abel’s expression reflected in the crystal ball darkened slightly at my question.

-……right.

‘As expected. Those are tricky conditions.’

No, this was actually a very tricky, if not quite a crazy condition.

Prinus.

This city is a tourist city with tourism revenue accounting for more than 80% of its revenue.

Nine out of ten of those tourism revenues were related to illegal activities.

From children of wealthy families to high-ranking officials whose names are well-known.

The amount of money they were throwing around here was enormous.

‘Perhaps most of that income went to the upper reaches of the country in exchange for turning a blind eye to illegal activity… … .’

Even taking that into account, Prinus’ income was higher than that of other cities of the same size.

What if, in a city like that, all illegal activities were eliminated overnight?

‘Income and tax revenues will shrink dramatically.’

It might have been natural, since the reason for the watermen to come here would disappear.

Another problem was that the number of soldiers and knights had to be forcibly increased every year.

Because the salaries and armaments that supported them were never free.

‘The greedy guys are quite clever.’

I smiled faintly as I thought of the three princes.

These are conditions that would make any lord nod his head in agreement.

‘Not me.’

For me, who has a lot of knowledge and experience, it was just an easy condition.

“Support from the family is strictly prohibited, right?”

-Yes. From now on, supervisors will visit the territory once a year. I think they will be made up of people from the princes’ side.

Oh my.

Even the test supervisors are all in on it.

Well, that didn’t matter.

If you don’t just vaguely achieve your goals, but overwhelmingly exceed them.

‘Even if you want to grab the tail, you won’t be able to.’

I smiled when I saw Abel.

“It’s worth doing.”

―… … Are you okay?

“Even if it’s not okay, don’t you have to do it? Unless you’re going to work for your family your whole life.”

Abel nodded his head as if he believed those words.

―Yeah. It’s okay if you fail. You’ll learn a lot. And personally… …I want you to come back to the family.

“It’s scary because it seems like it’s true. Anyway, thank you for telling me the news. Oh, by the way. I have something to show you.”

After I finished speaking, I took out the magic regeneration bead.

“I found the conspirator who had colluded with the Count.”

-Hoo. Who are you?

“Look.”

In this way, the true story of the story flowed out in the video.

Baron Hamington.

Abel smiled eerily at the statement that he was the culprit.

-Thank you. Get some rest. I’ll take care of the Baron.

“Yes, please come in.”

Now it was safe to say that the Baron was finished.

After the connection to the crystal ball is disconnected.

When I thought of the three princes, I couldn’t help but frown.

These guys could express everything in just one line.

Greedy, incompetent, and cruel by nature, these are the scum of the earth.

These incompetent and greedy guys will start a civil war a few years later.

An unprecedented event occurs where the vast Alton Empire splits into three parts.

Emperor of Rohan.

It was because this man closed his eyes without being able to choose a crown prince.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand it, since all the options I had were duds.

‘Oh, not all of them?’

Just one person.

Even among the emperor’s children, there were some good people.

4th Princess, Geodore de Elena.

She was a talented person who had all her talents focused on politics and diplomacy.

‘He does possess the talents of an outstanding saint.’

Unfortunately, that was a thing of the past.

Because now he was half-insane and exiled to the easternmost part of the empire.

This was one of the secrets known only to the Emperor and a few high-ranking nobles.

“……I wonder if the princes who ordered that work will be added to that.”

Originally, this was a position that could only be reached by possessing both bloodline and ability.

There was no law that said a girl could not inherit the throne.

The youngest son, who possessed outstanding talent and was favored by the emperor.

It must have felt like a thorn in the side of the princes, right?

So, they must have done that to eliminate their competitors.

I guess I’ll have to make her come to her senses someday.

That wasn’t the case now.

If I moved towards the Fourth Princess now, it was obvious that I would receive the hot gaze of all the bastards, including the three princes.

‘That’s very dangerous.’

If you shake the imperial family, you will naturally cause the entire empire to shake.

An imperial court inhabited by an old emperor and princes blinded by power.

How could such a cost-effective place be passed by by such sly villains?

Of course, it would be safe to say that more than half of the efforts they invested were focused on the imperial family.

A mid-boss among the villains who spread the power of darkness in all directions, and a crystallization of evil with tremendous power.

‘Immortal.’

One of these terrible monsters is directly managing the imperial family.

Being noticed by the three princes meant that he would be receiving their attention as well.

When I thought of the immortal, my face naturally hardened.

Adolf.

Marquis Houdini.

The three scoundrels of the imperial family.

‘These guys are at least human.’

In comparison, these guys were completely different life forms from humans.

Extraterrestrial species.

That’s what it should be called.

They are the top contributors who start their activities in earnest from the middle part of the game and make countless users cry out.

These guys weren’t called immortals for nothing.

Four monsters.

Each of these guys has their own special strategy, but if you catch them without following their strategy,

‘It was resurrected again.’

In a word, you could say that they were a bunch of really tough guys to deal with.

Even I, who have been rotting away in this game for ten years, cannot easily look down on these guys.

Actually, I’ve gotten game overs hundreds of times because of these damn guys.

‘By now… … two of you guys should have crossed over to the Central Continent.’

One of those two guys was based here in the Alton Empire. That’s why this division is happening in the Empire.

If there’s one thing that’s fortunate.

Thanks to the Millennium Barrier that was still somewhat intact, the bastards had their power significantly restricted when they came over here.

So, instead of coming forward directly, they are corrupting humans from behind the scenes.

If it weren’t for the Millennium Barrier, the Alton Empire would have been half-ruined by now.

It was safe to say that the power of the immortal, freed from the constraints of the barrier, was unmanageable. This was especially true in the current situation, which could be called the early stage.

That was exactly the reason why they were trying to stop Marquis Houdini.

The moment this guy finds the thousand-year barrier and breaks it.

‘It’s game over.’

Of course, my happy life will also go to the other world, right?

I shook my head as I thought of the immortals.

‘Well… I guess we won’t be meeting right now.’

It was still the beginning.

It will be quite some time before we encounter those monsters directly.

While I was lost in thought like that.

dripping.

There was a knock.

-Your Majesty, may I come in?

“Oh. Come in.”

Then Erciel opened the door and came in.

“The applicants have arrived. They are waiting for you. Do you wish to come for an interview right away?”

Most of the vassals were replaced, and most of the positions in the territory were left vacant.

First of all, I put Leonhardt in the position of Knight Commander.

Of course, that was not enough.

First of all, a public notice was sent out to the entire territory to recruit a large number of low-level managers in a hurry. The applicants who gathered this time must have come after seeing that public notice.

“We have to see. Let’s go.”

So Erciel and I started to move towards where the applicants were gathered. That place was the conference room inside the castle.

Outside a fairly spacious conference room.

There were quite a few applicants waiting in line.

You will have seen the official document detailing the interview method.

So, it would have been fine to just do it as is.

After entering the conference room.

After sitting in the highest seat, he immediately shouted out toward the door.

“Come in numbers 1 to 5.”

As soon as I finished speaking, five applicants came inside.

The awakening of the mind occurred in an instant.

Since the official document was originally circulated to accept civil officials, most of the people who gathered were noblemen.

Of course, no one was able to avoid the temptation.

After looking at the information of the five people who came in like that.

“Everyone except number 1 and number 5, leave.”

An evacuation order was issued immediately.

Although all five possessed talent for civil service, the problem was their characteristics.

The other three, except for the two I called, each possessed one desirable trait.

Of course, those types of people.

‘It’s just an entrance cut, nothing to see.’

That’s why it’s good to have a good heart.

“……yes?”

Immediately after, the interviewers started to look dumbfounded at my firm words, especially the three who were not selected.

It may be absurd to be notified of elimination as soon as you enter.

‘Well, still.’

There’s a reason why the advertising slogan for snacks says, “You know what I mean even if I don’t say it.”

“You should have heard from the soldiers beforehand. I should have told you that I would make a choice right away. Do you want to go out on your own feet, or do you want to be dragged out by the soldiers?”

“……”

Perhaps because of my chilling question, the guys who had been rolling their eyes started to leave the room.

Then the two remaining guys swallowed nervously.

“You don’t have to be so nervous. I plan on picking you two. I’m going to ask you a few questions now… If you answer those questions well, that is. Then I’ll start with the first question.”

So, questions about various topics started coming out of my mouth. What policies do you think should be implemented first for a city to grow?

What are the strengths of Prinus?

Is there a way to develop a city legally?

There were several other topics as well.

I don’t think these topics were all that difficult.

Unfortunately, more than half of the people couldn’t answer these simple questions.

As the interviews continued at lightning speed, a large number of candidates began to be eliminated.

It didn’t matter though.

Because the job description stated a generous salary and good welfare benefits, there were a lot of applicants.

In this way, vacancies in lower-level management positions began to be filled one by one.
