I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 359

"Thank you, Leon. I thought you'd say that."

Establish the Kingdom of Fontana.

Shortly after I said that, and after a little reflection, Leon agreed with the idea.

Somehow, quite unexpected.

I thought that Leon, who had been in the King's Land until the other day, would be a little more against it, but I quickly understood his mood.

Well, thank you for that.

"Lord Elance, what will you do?

"... are you really saying that? You want Lord Galloway to take the throne? Can you do that?"

"Yes, we mean it, Elance. In the first place, the royal family already has no power. Nevertheless, the royal family and its surroundings took the form of a royal order and plotted to strike Fontana. Or is that what Elance wanted to say to the king, so Fontana should have been smashed to pieces?

"No, it's not. But...."

"Besides, this is a great opportunity."

"Perfect opportunity?

"Yes, this is a unique opportunity for Lord Elance and the other knights to become nobles."

"... nobility? This me?

"That's right. Of course. Wouldn't it be natural for the knights of Fontana, who are under his direct command, to be nobles who support the King, to assume the throne? Now, by reborn Fontana into kingdom, you will be nobleman, Lord Elance."

"Aristocrats... can I become an aristocrat?"

"Yes, but of course, if you oppose the establishment of the kingdom, you will not be a nobleman who obeys the king. I ask again, Elance. Are you going to shake this opportunity into a stick?

"Yes, no, but...."

"It's nothing to think about too deeply. Bringing Fontana to the kingdom and being noble with it will not change anything. It's just that your identity goes up. However, just for the record, I would like Lord Elance to be a special nobleman, unlike any other knight."

"A special nobleman? What the hell is that?

"Fontana's knights are now divided into two. People like me and Lord Peeta who have territory but belong to the Fontana army. Unlike Elance and Ghana, knights have their own knights. In other words, Elance and Ghana have their own forces that do not belong to the Fontana army. I'm thinking of asking these people about their status as neighbors."

"Are you different from other aristocracy?

"No. The Borderlands will be ruled by the nobles of other countries, the Borderlands. For this reason, we are also thinking of extending our discretion over Fontana's other aristocracies in order to be responsive. In other words, instead of ruling a land that is difficult to contact with other territories, it would be a noble family with a higher status than usual."

"Hmm. Does that mean it's better than your Balkan territory?

"That might happen. After all, my Vulcan Knight Leader is small. Well, it may be difficult to compare because I will remain in my current general position. So, what do we do, Elance? How to respond"

"Okay. He is one of the knights who has supported the Fontana family since ancient times, compared to me. The Fontana family cannot be stopped from becoming kings. Rather, it will continue to work for Garrod-sama. Very well, I agree with the founding of the kingdom and will cooperate with you."

"Thank you, Knight Elance of Burma. No, you might want to call me Uncle Frontier from now on. We will continue to work together for Garold."

You have a great reputation, Elance.

What should I do?

Despite the fact that the shape of the kingdom has not been decided, I voluntarily said what about the border master.

But, okay.

Give Elance the Cut Carmus collar.

Instead, I would ask Fontana to return the original territory by turning the seal from the current Burmese Knight's Landing.

As soon as the territory expands, you won't complain.

And as the story goes, Ikes' Ghana has become a frontier country.

Let's play some territory over here, too.

The Knight Baratheon of Vargas is now in a position to defend itself, but should we push it against Ghana?

Peeta was obviously upset, but he was willing to support the kingdom.

And the other knights nodded to the main classes, so they had no choice but to ride the stream.

There will probably be anxiety, and there will be some thoughts about the royal family.

But they were all knights, not nobles.

Had there been a former Uluk or Arbarest lineage here, I would have been more against it.

But the most important thing for the Knights is the survival of their homes and lands.

Faced with the royal opposition here, they are forcibly deprived of their status and land by the main talent.

The only way to keep our house alive is to follow the Fontana family's wishes.

I'm glad I made the Fontana Charter.

It summarizes the rights and duties of nobles, knights, and citizens, but it also guarantees that they will not take anything from their superiors on their own.

The Fontana Charter applies even when you become a kingdom.

We need to change the relationship between nobles and knights into a relationship between kings and nobles, but we have already agreed that the top kings will not be a system where they can do whatever they want.

In other words, the peace of mind that even if Fontana became a kingdom, the reality remained the same as before led to support for nation-building.

"For the time being, I welcome the consent of the Knight who was the Lord of the Kingdom of Fontana. But what are you going to do after this, Mr. Ars? The new King of Gallows will shock every aspect. And, of course, the royal family moves against it. There's no doubt in the first place that I'm ordering the nobles to fight Fontana."

"I think so, Leon. To do this, we must move quickly."

"What do you mean?

"If you want to shoot the general, shoot the horse first. I don't think the royal family can negotiate properly through messengers anymore. So instead of royalty, I aim for something else."

"Does that mean you're targeting the horseman, not the general? I mean, not the royals, but the Menmen and the Rheinzats who will actually fight? But isn't fighting there just as tough for the Fontana army?

I see. I mean, I didn't say I'd fight. Negotiate. Use the salt. "

"Salt?

"That's right. I'm going to spell the magic of making salt in a hurry. And destroy the price of salt, the royal monopoly. For the time being, Leon, let the royal family do the right thing."

The Royal Envoy's party is already secured by his part-time brother.

I mean, I'm not going back to King's Landing for a while.

So I can buy time.

In the meantime, the royal family negotiates with other factions, explaining that it takes time to negotiate with the envoy.

The royal family can still give orders to other nobles in big faces because they monopolize the essential ingredient of salt to sustain life.

But what if I could get it anywhere else?

There is no reason why the great nobles should become hegemonic nobles by forming alliances with the royal family.

Even if the Royal Family issued a Fontana assassination order, there would be no need to follow it unconditionally.

As a matter of urgency, I embarked on a magical curse culture of saltmaking.
