Let's Manage The Tower

King Balm Adrian Column was in his office thinking.

Originally, they would have been busy with paperwork, but sometimes this is what makes them think.

While the head of King Balm can often be bothered, it was the Central Continent that made him spend most of his time thinking.

This is the Kingdom of Column, which has made a few remarks before, but so far it seems that such a voice has not recurred in Japan.

But it's no wonder they say we should attack again at any time.

After all, the fleet we launched in our own country has been the only one to have conducted military operations on the Central Continent so far.

As a balm, I thought other countries would come out soon, but Amamiya's tower's unexpected attack stopped it.

Some countries say it's just a rumor, but the information Balm has doesn't tell us where he's actually going.

A while ago, there seemed to have been pirate disturbances in the north of the Central Continent, which are now on fire.

There were stories that some countries were involved behind the columns, but after all, it didn't seem to have much effect.

As a balm, I hope that the country behind me will cut through the numbness and act directly, but it is common that the conversation doesn't go on so conveniently.

With regard to the Amamiya Tower, it is no longer in good shape as a nation.

However, there is no army that should be a state, but even if we need a guard in the first place, we need an army immediately, which is not the case.

Something called a state has never existed on that continent.

It is such a peculiar continent, but it is a well-known fact that the situation has changed since the tower was attacked.

The existence of the metastasis gate greatly influenced the situation on the continent.

There are towers in the western continent where the Kingdom of Columns is situated as a matter of course, and some towers are under attack.

However, I have never heard of the existence of a metastasis gate for some reason.

Alternatively, they may be hiding their existence for when something happens.

The means by which you can move to a safe area called a tower in an instant may seem like a hidden passage for royalty.

If the balm is the owner of the tower and there is a transfer gate, it is not strange to treat it that way.

Or is there a metastasis gate in the tower itself?

Because the country that owns it has changed many times since it was attacked in the past, it is also possible that the owner has not been changed successfully at that time.

Rather, it would be more likely.

There is no way to give an important asset, the Tower, properly to a hostile nation.

I can't help but guess what the tower system looks like.

Balm, who had thought so much, put back the derailed thought that there was nothing he could do about it.

The question to consider now is how to face the Amamiya Tower as the kingdom of the column.

So far, the hardliners have not said that they will leave the army again.

However, it is not strange for such a voice to come out again.

At that time, we have to have the materials to silence the hardliners.

As a balm, I'm not going to cross a dangerous bridge, so I'm not leaving the navy.

But it is also true that as the voice grows louder, it cannot be ignored.

King Balm, who was contemplating that, stopped looking at a document.

It was one of the reports we were going to process.

And it's about the Crown.

Then King Balm began to look through the paperwork.

Eventually the expression fell apart.

If the report is correct, perhaps we can silence the hardliners.

I really needed to hear more about it.

I immediately decided to call the township concerned with the document.

The person called by Balm was a member of a tax department.

The report said that tax revenues from Crown-related merchant guilds were increasing.

Considering the absolute amount, it's not that big.

But the growth rate is bigger than any other Merchant Alliance.

Of course, it's not just about the Merchant Alliance.

Craft Guilds that process goods imported from the Crown were in a similar or similar situation.

"This report is for last month, but how was it before then?

"Ha, ha, ha. The situation has become more pronounced since last month and not as pronounced as before. However, this month is likely to see even more momentum."

According to the person in charge, Balm leaned his neck.

"Why are these vendors growing?

"Um..."

"I don't mind. You can guess, so tell me."

Seeing the person in charge coming, the perceived balm prompted him to continue.

"Probably because the quality of the material from the crown is good."

In one word, I understood what the person in charge wanted to say.

"... so much?

"From what I've investigated, it seems to be a lot of crafts, industrial goods, or preferences. Domestically, too, but above all, exports to other countries are growing."

In the Kingdom of Balm, products from Amamiya towers are bought and processed as materials.

Because they originally imported materials from the Central Continent, there was a foundation for such technology.

In the first place, Central Continental materials are famous for their good quality.

The material used to produce the tower was equivalent to or could go up.

Alliances involved in these businesses are increasing their sales in order to sell them more if they sell them outside the country.

The result was an increase in tax revenue.

"Does the Crown intend to increase exports to our country?

I suspect that the intent of the question is to strengthen the commercial connection because of the previous disturbances.

"I don't know exactly what is happening in other countries, but I don't think so. Simply seemed to be producing more resources from Amamiya towers."

The increase in the number of adventurers operating in towers or engaged in similar tasks meant that the output of resources was increasing.

Naturally, this will increase the amount of resources that can be exported outside.

As a result, the amount of material entering the Kingdom of Columns has increased, and the related Alliance sales have increased.

If there is a problem, how long will that stretch last?

No matter how many towers we have, we don't have unlimited resources.

Alternatively, we may run out of adventurers to harvest it.

The elongation will definitely stop somewhere.

It's not predictable for a boulder.

It may be possible to speculate to some extent, but it is only predictable and not absolute.

But anyway, this situation can be used by this country.

After all, tax revenues are growing.

If you succeed, you may lose that tax revenue.

This can be one ingredient to silence hardliners.

Of course, some of them say that's why they should attack.

There shouldn't be so many short-circuits.

The fact that materials from the Central Continent increase tax revenues will be good for the Column Kingdom in the short term.

But in the long run, or when a tower-centered country is formed in the Central Continent, is that a good thing?

It was still unknown, Balm carved into his chest.
