"What are you talking about, Takao?"
"I said I will create our own kingdom. I will then be the Mage King."
"Mage... King?"
"Yes."
"And how are you gonna do that? This land is owned by the kingdom. About the expenses? How?"
"I will take care of that soon. Don't worry."
"But at this time?"
"Of course."
"But it's still a few of us."
"That doesn't matter. I will have people join us."
"seriously???"
"Yes. Don't worry Martin."
"Fine."
"Then. Let's do this."
"What?"
"We will find people. Have them join us and then we will form a Magedom."
"Magedom?"
"Yeah. I'm gonna be a mage king after all."
"Okay."
"Then. Now that the housing is settled. Everyone now has their own houses. Let's move on to how I will solve the expenses."
"How?"
"We will sell vegetations."
"Like what?"
"Like crops. Every plant that we could sell. That's it."
"Oh... That is a good one. But it that would not suffice I guess. It will take time to grow it."
"That doesn't matter. Tell me what plant? Look..."
Everyone rushes to where the plants are grown.
Everyone watched in awe as wheat and grains have been grown there in just an instant.
"What!!!???"
"Now. With this. Our expenses should be enough. We could sell these at a low price. Since it didn't cost us anything to produce this. I could grow this anywhere even in the unworked dirt. So we could easily mass produce this and sell it right away."
"Really???"
"But that's not the time for now."
"Yeah. We don't need money right now, after all."
"We should increase the population first. Have livestock and things necessary to start even one city."
"So. How will we increase the population?"
"We will get the surrounding villages."
"That is good."
"I will handle it myself. You all stay here and do the things that are necessary. Or rest."
"Okay. So where are these villages? Master?"
"There are three around us. It's ideal if they all joined us."
"Yeah. Takao. That is good."
"Yes. Takao-san. I hope you could handle us."
"Of course I could... Then I'll be off."
"Good luck."
"Mm."
He set out to the first village while flying.
It is located in the southwest of the village.
Though it is far away. It is not near the city.
Just like the chief told him. These villages really are isolated. But not all of them. It seems that lots of villages except these are not.
Takao arrived and saw that people are productive. This village is not poor unlike the Marv. But that being poor is mostly because of the barbarians plundering their goods.
He descends and a person met him. But it seems that not in a very friendly way.
"Who are you!?"
Who seems to be a guard. Holding his sword towards him.
"I'm friendly. Let me go inside."
"No! You're suspicious! Why would I?"
"Just let me. I wanted to talk to your chief."
"No!"
The guard rushed to him and slashed his sword.
Takao grabbed the sword.
"What?"
"Hey! What is happening?"
Another person arrived.
"Call the others!"
"Yes!"
The person ran.
"Kill me if you wanted. You won't get anyone!"
"I will."
"There!"
The person came back with more people. Having their own weapons.
"Charge!"
"I said I am friendly aren't I?"
Takao threw the person he holds to them.
"Here."
They then stopped on their tracks.
"Hey! Are you alright?"
"Yes."
"Just charge everyone!"
"Why are you so wary of me, huh?"
Everybody then suddenly floats.
"What. What is happening? What have you done to us?"
"Just stay there."
"Let us go!"
"I wanted to talk to the chief. Let me."
Takao then strode towards the village.
"Where is the chief? I only wanted to talk."
"I am the village chief."
A man that seems to be in his 40's showed himself to him.
"I wanted to talk in private. Is that possible?"
"Y, yes. This way."
They then both entered a house.
"Please don't worry about me everyone."
Still. The people remain floating.
"So. What is it? Mr?"
"Takao. Let me say this... I wanted your village as a part of my nation."
"Na, nation? What?"
"Yes. Just like I said."
"Nation? What nation? Are you from the Arwana?"
"No, I'm not."
"Then... Which nation?"
"A newly formed nation. I wanted more people so that we could become a nation."
"Then... I don't think we could ac–"
"Just join me. You could be conscripted right? There are no more soldiers for this kingdom. Isn't it?"
"Yes you may be right. But what nation is this?"
"A Magedom."
"A Magedom? Oh... So that we would have to betray our kingdom and join you?"
"It is up to you. I am planning to have the other two villages around here to be part of it. I already have one. When those two joined us. Then it's only you so that the nation could be formed."
"Please let me discuss it with the villagers. Please..."
"Fine. I will come back tomorrow and ask you for the decision. Don't worry. I won't force you."
"About us being conscripted. That is true. If the kingdom can't afford more soldiers. We would have to die on the battlefield. I will convince everyone. Please. Let me ask. If we were to join you. Could you guarantee everything we need?"
"Of course. That is taken care of."
"Thank you. I will have the decision by tomorrow. If you really could guarantee everything. Then the villagers will really join you."
"Fine. Then. I will be going. Thank you for your time."
"Thank you."
They both then walked outside.
"I wanted everyone to a meeting! Takao-san. You may go."
"Yes."
Takao got out of the gate and released the floating people.
He then set on to the next village.
