As her form gradually solidified, Yinla suddenly appeared next to Senata, startling her as she was changing clothes. Senata quickly put her clothes back on.
After turning his head away, Ira took three or four stones and went for a walk on the beach with Sirina after the morning meeting. They found that the pile of stones not far from the salt flats in the Demon King's territory was full of limestone.
Good romance novels
This is undoubtedly good news, as it at least proves that limestone is not uncommon in this world. Yinla knows that in her previous world, the paving stones were also made of limestone in the ancient times.
But this world is different. At least during the Empire, the paving stones were naturally formed with patterns resembling ink paintings, called "Kuroe-ishi," which may be another name for granite.
This proves that the empire's resources... were quite abundant.
"Senata, this is the design shown to the kobolds, please pass it on..."
As Yinla spoke, he listened to the rustling sounds of dressing stop, then turned back to look at the astonished Senata and asked, "How's the situation with the kobolds?"
However, Senata was paying attention to other things at the moment.
"Wait, Mr. Yinla, if I'm not mistaken, you came from the Void Realm, right?"
As she said this, she remembered that Ira had suddenly materialized from her ethereal form and appeared in the room. She blinked and asked, "Have you awakened your talent for traveling through the ethereal realm? Or is it that the little succubus can already transport people through the ethereal realm?"
Regarding Yinla's special "alienation," only Yinla herself and Tikkap, who is involved, know about it for the time being; only Satanieh, Sirina, and Vera know about it.
This is nothing to hide.
“I have shared Tekkaman’s abilities; his soul now resides within me.”
Yinla spoke nonchalantly about things that would break the defenses of the scholars of this world. He looked at Senata, who was dressed, and said, "The next time I travel to the Void, I should probably choose the place outside the door rather than inside the door."
To be honest, compared to the claim of "teleporting to the outside of the room," his casual remark about "sharing Tekkaman's abilities" is actually more eye-catching.
In comparison, under such a miracle, let alone being teleported to a room, even if Inra were to travel directly to Senata's bed in the virtual world, it wouldn't be anything particularly noteworthy.
However, Senata had almost gotten used to it... Everyone had long been accustomed to the miracles that Illa had created.
...
"As for the kobolds, they were the ones who didn't pay tribute to the territories before."
Senata, shifting her focus to her work, said this while recalling the situation in the kobold territory: "But after Mr. Illa intervened, they made up for the lost offerings... even though the offerings they were supposed to pay weren't much to begin with."
In other words, did the kobold territory almost attract Yinra's attention just because they wanted to be greedy for a little money? Fortunately, the kobold territory wasn't near their previous strategic target, otherwise they might have deeply regretted it.
After all, it would be a real shame to be erased by Yinla just because you didn't pay a few silver coins.
"So, Mr. Yinla, you mean to buy this kind of stone? If nothing unexpected happens, a lot of the waste produced during mining is probably this kind of stone."
Senata looked at the stone that Illa had used as a sample, thought for a moment, and said, "I will convey the message truthfully. If the amount required is large, it would be best to tell Youyou about this expense."
"The first batch doesn't need much, so just have them send some over. If it's confirmed that a certain quantity is needed, then this money won't be considered public expenditure of the Demon King's territory; it can be deducted directly from my salary."
As Yinla said this, he considered it for a moment and said, "If we need to make a large-scale purchase later, I will discuss it with Youyou... It would be best to have them supply an unlimited amount of this stone, so as to avoid having to use their offerings as a substitute."
That's certainly a good choice... if such an ordinary-looking stone really matters.
"wrong……"
Yinla quickly muttered to himself, contradicting his previous statement. He narrowed his eyes... If it were Yin Sabella or Vera, they would immediately recognize that he was contemplating some ruthless conspiracy.
Just like the imperial nobles who had no way to refuse the "land for a title" policy.
"I made a mistake. I shouldn't have been so decisive about the cement yesterday... Luckily, there were no outsiders around at the time, but I need to remind Little Fairy. I'll remind everyone else as well."
As Yinla said this, he looked at Senata, who had a puzzled expression, and simply stood up and said, "The cancellation of contact with the kobold territory may have been a bit of a hassle for you, I'm really sorry."
As he spoke apologetically, Illa patted Senata on the shoulder, who seemed to realize something, and said quite seriously, "At yesterday's morning meeting, everything I said about the cement materials... please keep it completely confidential."
Sure enough, although I don't know why, it seems that Yinla wants to keep this matter a secret. Mr. Yinla was very concerned about the approximate time when the [Corpse Fragrance Potion] would be analyzed. He probably has his own considerations.
Senata nodded naturally as she thought this. She looked at the map of the Demon Lord's territory spread out on the table, traced it with her finger, and said, "In fact, a little past the harpy's dwelling, there is an abandoned mine."
As she spoke, under the watchful gaze of Illa who raised an eyebrow, Senata pointed to the map and said, "The iron ore is depleted, but there is plenty of clay and this common stone. However, it will take time to clear the rubble outside the mine, and the journey is not short."
"..."
“Very good. I’ll go check it out later. Well… I’ll have Tekap find the leaders who were there yesterday and tell them to keep this a secret. Anyway, sorry, I’ll treat you to some blood later.”
As Yinla spoke, he looked at Senata, who was clearly delighted and whose eyes were shining with anticipation. His body gradually became ethereal as he said, "If we succeed, then the Demon King's territory... will encompass the entire kingdom."
Although no one understands yet.
However, the significance of a "better road" goes far beyond just being "better." The benefits and advantages that a smooth road can bring are enormous.
Saving time on travel is undoubtedly a way of snatching the resource called time from the world – saving time on commuting, time on trade, and making communication between territories faster.
Some, some, some added together... that's all.
