Chapter 767
Episode 189. Blessings rolling in (1)
August 20, 1803.
About a month has passed since Leed returned to Inse.
As soon as she started working as head butler, she was proving her ability by taking control of the family in an instant.
[Death 10, it would be better to strengthen support for polluted areas in neutral areas. Ziple is becoming more and more passive in supporting neutral contamination zones, so we have to go in and capture them.]
“Mr. Butler, most of the areas that Zipple is passively supporting are places where there is nothing to gain. On the contrary, if they belong to the Hufester Union after being rescued, the reconstruction cost will be higher.”
[I know, there are no resources available, and most of the areas have collapsed from the ground up. But what matters now is the status of Runkandel. Even on a humanitarian level, if we sleep less, we can save that much life.]
“All right.”
[Besides, now is a time when talent is more important than anything else, and you never know where talent will suddenly appear. In the area saved by the family, someone we really need may suddenly appear one day. Engineers came out of the area saved by the 7th rider last time, right? It happened a lot in my time.]
Leed is not only the head of the butler, but also the ancestor who made Runkandel what it is today.
Even the previous heads of households, who were the biggest adults in the family until she came, are distant descendants to her.
In addition, after watching Leed’s work ability, Jin even gave her the authority to wield full power regarding domestic affairs, so she was now the actual second-in-command of Runcandel.
[Cadet Instructor, Sir Tasha.]
[Tell me, butler.]
[All the new cadets I received this time are great. After the leader election is over, lower the famous swords to the corresponding members one by one.]
[There are still a few swords I picked out.]
[Also, pay special attention to those new cadets who used to be a group in the existing stage. So that there is no needless faction division. It’s good to stimulate a fighting spirit through competition, but it’s not a way to suit the current situation. Always set a goal to fight together and win.]
[I will.]
[Sir Ballas, how is the Black Sword Society these days?]
[Khaha, there is no day when the blood is dry from catching and killing the guys who are embezzling reconstruction funds. Although they are all small fish.]
[very good. If it’s a corruption that happens at Hufester, the Black Sword Society must continue to show that they will directly step forward and punish even the smallest things. However, there should be no one who is unfair.]
[Don’t worry, those who want to be really vague are taken to the Tikan princess to confirm the facts. However, it seems that power reinforcement is necessary. So, it would be good for the Instructor General to send those who want to see buds here in advance.]
[The Hobeophoe is currently working hard on compiling the family code. From what I’ve read, chapter 5 is overall overly strict. How about relaxing the standards of each etiquette a little?]
[Butler, I think it’s right not to compromise on that part. No matter how dizzy the situation is, the law must be the law.]
[This makes sense.]
[Instead, we will add provisions that can be mitigated depending on exceptional circumstances.]
[A great alternative, so proceed. And the Homin Chairman, Sir Telot.]
“Yes, butler.”
[It is very good that you are walking around, encouraging the existing residents and migrants, and preventing various conflicts in advance. It is a natural thing to do as the Homin Chairman. But now, it would be better to focus more on looking at the talented people among the former residents.]
“I understand, boss.”
[First class butler, Petro.]
“yes! The butler.”
[Family financial reports need to be more organized. Let each department work harder to collaborate and share more closely. You are the first-class butler and the exclusive butler of Sogaju, so you should do that. And there was one missing piece about the Lutero federation black market sale. This kind of mistake, twice is unacceptable.]
“Sorry, we will correct it immediately.”
[Looks like it’s all sorted out. Let’s all go back to our seats and get to work. The next meeting will be held at 2:00 in the morning.]
The members of Runcandel were literally spending days without a march of hardship.
But no one was dissatisfied.
Leed had a strange magical power that allowed him to peck his followers like crazy while at the same time constantly invigorating them.
Two hours after everyone went out to carry out Leed’s order, Jin visited the conference room.
Leed rose from his seat and greeted him with courtesy.
“The butler.”
[Did you come, Sogaju.]
“I heard that you haven’t slept in days. Are you okay?”
[To the fairy, this much is not a big deal. I’m working very smoothly thanks to Sogaju’s big frame. It smells of earth and iron. Has Sogaju been to the Empire?]
“Yes, I have been looking at the drying yard construction site. The foundation work to drill the basement has already been completed, and now the interior work has begun.”
[There must be a shortage of technicians. Super-difficulty construction engineers were a very valuable manpower even in my era.]
“I guess so. Still, engineers are being recruited somehow, but the problem is the absence of a general manager for construction and a lack of engineers to build the fleet once the yard is complete.”
Originally, even just penetrating the underground of Geomhwangji required tremendous technical skills.
However, that part was resolved in a short period of time through the power of high-ranking warriors, various magic, and the power of ice.
Literally, the ground was dug out by force and collapse was prevented by the power of ice and magic.
However, the full-fledged internal work could not proceed in that way.
The world’s best construction engineers were needed to realize the blueprints for Quawl.
General responsibility is currently held temporarily by Quaul, but his main job is magical engineering.
No matter how many centuries he was a genius, the realm of building technology was a different matter.
Even the best engineers in the Empire were having difficulty realizing Quawul’s blueprint.
“Dr. Quaul said that you need at least the skill of Ziffle’s top technician or Boubard to do a perfect job. Or a new contractor for architecture appears.”
[We keep emphasizing the need to recruit talent, but we don’t know how long it will take. Besides, if you need that level of genius… … In fact, I have no choice but to lean on the sky. If you can’t find an engineer, isn’t the completion itself impossible?]
“Yes, I said it was possible. It just takes several times more time and money.”
[Several times, I don’t have much room in my finances already. Wait, you said you were a new contractor for architecture, right?]
“Have you thought of anything?”
[Lastly, we need to check when and where the new contractor came out.]
Leed called the literati and gathered the history books about the contractor that were kept in the family.
[Let’s see… … Here it is, the last contract was made in March 1666 by a man named Clap Modal of the Barkle Borough of the Lutero Magical Confederation. He died in 1701. Prior to that contractor Kien Salasa of the Borough of Barkle in 1603, before that Harriet Byer in 1541, also of the Borough of Barkle.]
“… … All of them from the Borough of Barkle, right?”
[The old name of Barkle Borough was Barkle Kingdom. In my time, it was known as the kingdom that the god of architecture was particularly fond of. Ah, now I remember. We also had knights sent to get a new contractor for the construction of the Barkle Kingdom.]
“If God of Architecture is still contracting only with people from the Barkle Borough, it is likely that he is already affiliated with Zipple.”
[Perhaps. Still, if there are contractors in the Borough of Barkle, wouldn’t it be nice to give it a try? It won’t be possible to invade and capture them like a thousand years ago. It would be nice to check if there is a contractor in Barkle with a compass, and if there is, collect information through the turkey and send a nameless person to bring it.]

It’s a dangerous method that can turn into a big fight if you don’t care.
However, as Leed said, it was necessary to first check the existence of the contractor through the compass.
Jin immediately rode the Red Owl to Tikan and returned with a compass.
The compass is all about putting a red dot on the area where the contractor exists.
Even the exact location is not disclosed, and no other information is provided.
Looking through the compass, I saw a red dot floating around Barkle Borough, but it wasn’t one.
“… … Looks like there are more than five contractors in Barkle alone.”
Since Barkle is an autonomous district close to Drakka, it was inevitable that Zipple’s contract magicians frequented it.
[For the time being, as I work, I will look at the red dots in Barkle Borough. Take a look at the fluctuating numbers… … .]
Just as Leed had said that, a new person found the conference room.
“The butler and sogaju.”
“Sir Telot.”
[What happened? Sir Telot.]
Homin Chairman Telot, he cleared his throat and showed a slightly embarrassed look.
“Among the refugees, I came because there was a boy who claimed to be a new construction contractor. I tried to tell you after checking as much as possible, but I think I need help from Princess Tikan or the butler. I asked him to show his authority, but he was only talking nonsense.”
Jin and Reet stared at each other for a few seconds, their eyes widening.
[…] … What did you say?]
“Since he is a prospective contractor, he said that it would take some trials to sign a proper contract. Anyway, he’s in the hallway.”
Normally, Telot would have dismissed the boy’s words as nonsense, but he came to the meeting room once he knew how desperate the new contractor was in the current situation.
[I need to meet you first, so please come in quickly.]
Telot gave the order outside, and the waiting knights let the boy into the conference room.
His scruffy appearance was typical of a refugee, and his eyes harbored the guile of a misguided boy.
The whole time, he stretched out without losing his spirit even in front of Telot.
“Ah, really, I am a prospective contractor for the God of Architecture! You shouldn’t have treated me so harshly… … Oh! Jin Kyung! You really are Sir Gene Runkandel, right!?”
And the boy, as soon as he saw Jin, fixed his angry face and brightened his eyes.
It was the look in his eyes that said he had finally accepted his idol.
Jin thought for a moment about where he had seen that expression before.
It was when I first met Enya.
