Chapter 120: “Well then, okay”
“Alright, let’s start by examining the methods that led Rare-chan to this place.
However, I must admit, this was a failure, to be precise. What I had been plotting was to bring ‘calamity’ to this town. So, I was considering using the transportation network around the town to spread certain information.
You probably already know, but the rumor was that the Hiers Kingdom had already perished.
I learned this after becoming a noble. The common understanding on this continent is that the nation’s symbol of importance lies in its land and royal family. The capital is crucial too, but only the royal family and the core of the nation are aware of that. Oh, Rare-chan might know that as well.
So, if I were to tell NPC nobles that ‘the country has fallen,’ they would typically think, ‘Did we lose our land, or did the royal family perish?’
For the average NPC, it wouldn’t mean much. They wouldn’t grasp the significance even if they were told the country had fallen; it’s an unprecedented situation for them.
But for nobles, it’s different. For the nobility of Hiers, it’s a crucial matter affecting their future, and for nobles from other countries, it’s a significant diplomatic issue.
And for merchants who have dealings with nobles, it’s a major problem that directly impacts prices and the economy.
Since the currency used on this continent is common, the general population won’t immediately feel a sense of crisis, so this rumor will likely be treated as casual gossip around the town.
