I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 83

"Als, I think we can talk about the Fontana family."

"Yes! It hasn't been days since we last met."

"These things don't make sense unless they're done quickly. Let's get to where we left off."

"Okay."

A few days have passed since I decided to ask Bishop Paul to solve this problem.

I asked for it, and I trust Bishop Paul, but I still don't know when the Fontana family will attack.

That's why I went back to the castle in Kawakita to augment the equipment and gather troops.

But in the meantime, there was no movement in the Fontana family, and a few days later Bishop Paul arrived.

Bishop Paul was supposed to use the money he received from me and his position in the church to negotiate with the Fontana family.

However, the last packing was said to be possible directly by me.

This case, which has developed into an armed conflict, cannot be brought to an end in the absence of the parties.

In conclusion, Bishop Paul tells me to come to the meeting, which seems to have created a possibility of harmony with the nobles.

But all of a sudden, instead of discussing it in front of everyone, I decided to drop them off somewhat beforehand.

A place for me and the negotiators over there to meet for that.

It was one of the towers I built next to the road.

A landmark tower built to pass the straight road from the castle in Kawakita to the village of Balka.

For the time being, it can also be used as a watchtower, and it will be a rest place, so there is something left behind.

I paid for one of them, and there I and the Fontana negotiators gathered to decide on the final terms of the accord.

"Ah, you are Ars Barca. Are you sure you're not a child yet?"

"... it's Ars. What about you?

You don't know my face? Carlos. You know who Fontana is? I am the master of the Fontana family. "

This guy?

A man named Carlos, no, he's still a boy, isn't he?

Looks like he's probably a 15-year-old boy.

There is no problem around here because I am of adult age, but I didn't know that the owner of the Fontana family was such a child.

I was surprised to learn more about the aristocracy of my land.

"Well, I've already heard from the bishop. It also means that you have no connection with other aristocracy and that you are willing to reconcile. Let's not get into trouble. Let's hold each other's swords here."

"... you can't say yes so easily. It depends on the conditions."

"Kukukuku. Without kneeling to the nobles, do you bring out the conditions? You're the only one who's been at the center of this commotion. It's funny."

No, it's not funny.

I wonder why this master is so calm.

We're just bringing a few supplies into our faction.

Rather, I never imagined a noble leader would come all the way to negotiate with me.

I wish Bishop Paul had told me.

I see. I wonder if the conditions are like this. If we're going to lay swords on each other, we can leave the Balkans to you. "

"Barca?... I'm sorry, I'll take a look."

The parchment that Carlos gave me while it was good.

Receive it and read what it says.

It mainly wrote the following:

One, the cessation of combat activities.

One, the disbandment of the fighting group.

One, the return of the captive knight.

One, the return of the Ice Sword.

One, the treatment of Balkan lands.

One, about who I am.

To put it bluntly, if we break up and promise not to fight, we will miss it regardless of our guilt.

Besides, it seems that my position will rise.

What a way to admit Vulcan villages and others as mine.

But you can't do that for free.

Instead, it seems to be conditional on me being under Carlos' command, that is, under the Fontana family's umbrella.

"There are a few things I'm curious about, but I'd still like to ask you first. Looks like a lot of good terms for us, but are these really protected?

"Oh, I want to settle the details in about that form, even if I fill them in later. Once it's officially decided, it won't be overturned. If you do that, the rest of my men will leave me alone."

"... isn't that strange? Whatever this is, this is where the Fontana family slaughtered their house. I think it's unusual for me to go under Master Carlos."

"Kuhahahaha. That's exactly what I want to thank you for this, Ars. Well done on beating Raymond. I'm thankful."

What do you got there?

Isn't home slaughter the most important position in the aristocratic family?

Why are you so happy to be killed?

I couldn't understand what Carlos had to say.
