C57-For People (1)
Wilhelm Evernatten recently felt strange about the number of vagabonds that increased considerably.
In recent years, there have never been so many vagabonds at once.
Guessing something was going to happen, he checked the Vagabonds all over Evernatten.
As a result, he discovered that all of them came from the city of Gothheim , and at the same time he could hear the rumour floating among the Vagabonds.
'An evil spirit takes living people and skin them...'
A ghost story.
But Wilhelm Evernatten, who determined it might not be a simple rumor, gathered information by sending personnel to Gothheim and the surrounding territories to confirm the authenticity of the rumor.
The one standing in front of him was now one of those who were sent to the investigation.
The person who was kneeling in front of Wilhelm Evernatten said.
"As a result of the investigation, the condition of Gothheim was serious, to avoid the failure, borrowed the name of the goddess, and impose a tax on excessive to the citizens, and to resign their properties for all sorts of reasons, the homeless are growing".
"As for the rumor of courtesy?".
"It turns out to be true, and it seems that there have also been a lot of missing cases beyond what has been revealed. The strange thing was that the Holy emperor didn't seem to be trying to solve it."
"...Will it be a sacrifice?"
Wilhelm Everton recited quietly.
"Yes, according to the information C, I suspect that this is also what is making the Follower of Artemis to stop the Trial of the goddess".
The judgment of the goddess.
In the past, the space called Judgment, which was a place of punishment for sinful men, was simply to correct history in the right direction, and the judgment ended.
But the Holy Imperior did not stop the trial.
They believed that the goddess revealed her sin and took the world in exchange for revealing the sins of the past.
The way they chose instead of the attack was sacrifices.
The blood and flesh of mankind who had committed sin were devout.
They were trying to calm the wrath of the goddess by paying the price of her sin. Of course, it couldn't work.
"Do you really think you can stop the trial like this?"
Wilhelm Evernatten's hands, tightly clenched, trembled.
"A few days ago, a lot of children were missing.”
It coincided with a time when large-scale vagrants rushed to Evernatten.
"I've detected a lot of judgment. Most of my followers have also made the same prediction... And now, the Holy Empire says it will be difficult to stop the Great next trial."
As if to guess the intention of the comment, Wilhelm closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.
"The Earl of Mittelfer has asked for the advance to Gothheim..."
"I refuse."
Wilhelm nodded firmly.
"I swore under my name that I would live for the Holy Empire, even though I was cast out. I dare not rebel. Nevermind, Sir Carlos".

The path through the garden to resistance.
Desir was absorbed in his thoughts.
Thanks to Romantica, the food problem was solved almost immediately.
But this was not the perfect solution.
Food will run out after a short period of time, and there is a need for countermeasures on what to do after that.
'Now just a day'.
There was no additional time to take action because there was room for it.
If there were no perfect solutions to the problems caused by vagabonds, then there was no need to deal with the Romantica Guild in Evernatten .
However, Romantica has made it better to consider a miraculous solution in the longer term.
For example, a way to nurture and hire Tramps with individual talents.
"This is, frankly, the easiest way to think about it."
However, as soon as he could think better, Desir was able to conclude more calmly that this method would be too difficult.
'Wilhelm Evernatten is a kind person. I couldn't have come in such a way.'
In fact, this method was not enough to solve everything.
Evernatten's finances were not plentiful. It was a little unreasonable to raise those hobos and provide them with a lot of work.
Suddenly, Desir's foot stopped.
Someone was making a snowman with a song.
It Was Lilika.
After the food problem improved, Lilika was able to return to work at the castle.
He looked around and saw many snowmen all over the garden.
Desir approached Lilika, who was making a snowman.
“If you're making a snowman, do you not resfriarías?".
"Ah, Desir oppa!".
Desir looked back at the snowman he was making.
"Lilika, you seem to make a snowman every time I see you."
"Yes, snowmen are my friends."
"..."
"What, don't look so pitiful! They're real friends, obviously. They were the children who had come from their hometown before reaching Evernatten."
"So snowmen aren't your friends in your imagination?. Forgive me!"
Lilika told The Snowman on one side.
"Remember the last time I asked you to look after my snowman?".
"Yeah, you said Carlos, right?".
"Yeah, he was my best friend."
"It would have been very sad for me if it had been broken."
"Uh..."
Lilika said in a rather lonely way.
"Not sacked when he was."
"Is he busy?"
"No, it's gone. One day suddenly. People said some ghost took him."
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Are you talking about the evil spirits who collect people who walk alone?".
A gentle breeze blew.
Looking back. Romantica was there.
"Wow, sister rich".
Romantica approached, and Lilika asked excited.
"How do you know?"
"The rumor does not seem to spread at the head of the Holy Empire, but I came from Gothheim instead of here. Lilika, are you from Gothheim too?".
"Yes, I am. All the people who live in the homeless people come from Gothheim."
Desir felt strange.
It was strange, though, that all those people came from Gothheim .
"All the people living in the village are from Gothheim.Why never told your oppa, Lilika?"
Said Romantic with a sigh.
"Did you really not know about this, Desir?".
Desir didn't know anything about Gothheim, except for the gossip that Jeffran talked about.
He didn't even have time to think outside of Evernatten because he had a lot of work to do right away.
"Why was I so stupid that I couldn't think of that?".
He didn't even think where the homeless came from. I was trying to solve the problem that seemed too far away.
"It is natural to solve the most fundamental cause for solving the problem."
Desir had only been able to see in history if the shadow world had judged Wilhelm Everton to have made the vagabonds a wrong choice.
This is because even the expulsion of vagrants was a way of postponing immediate problems and not solving them.
If the problems that were occurring in Gothheim were not resolved, the situation in the Holy Empire would deteriorate and one day it would reach the territory of Evernatten .
"Romantic, tell me the details you know."
* * * * *
* * * * *
The morning the dawn fog didn't rise, the air inside the office was cold enough not to feel the heat of a burning fireplace.
There was a meeting of people who were about to decide the fate of Evernatten.
"We're all here."
Two days.
The time Desir promised has passed. Success and failure are at stake here.
Wilhelm opened his mouth.
"Before we begin our conversation, I would like to express my gratitude to the romantic teacher. Thanks to the Mercantile guild you run, the food situation on Earth has improved smoothly. Thank."
"It is an honor, my Lord."
Romantica briefly lifted the hem of his skirt and greeted him.
It was an elegant answer.
The conversation seemed to begin smoothly with the Lord's gratitude.
"There is still a major drawback to the security problem. My Lord."
Eyulan sprayed a bucket of cold water in the atmosphere that seemed relaxed.
Wilhelm spoke quietly to Desir.
"So Desir, did you think of a way?"
Desir bowed briefly and took a step forward.
"There are some problems that have not yet been resolved, even if the situation in the mansion has improved, as well as the security problem, as Sir Eyulan has pointed out. We cannot solve it in our current situation."
Those who heard Desir nodded.
"Even if the problems are solved, it is only a limited measure for this year, and vagabonds will continue to emerge in the future. And we won't be able to receive them all the time. Even if we receive the Guild's support room, the food will run out one day."
It's not just this once.
If Gothheim's problem persists, the Vagabonds will appear every year, and if they had to accept them, they would have to take them all.
"If we no longer take vagabonds, we don't have to take responsibility for them, so that we can solve the problems of our territory right now, that's how another territory solves these kinds of problems."
Was what he said Romantica.
Because most of them refused to accept vagabonds, all of Gothheim's vagabonds came here to Evernatten.
"But vagabonds continue to form, and all vagabonds who are not going to die will die, and this is not a solution. Taking out the homeless is taking our eyes off their deaths."
Desir looked at Eyulan .
She held her knuckles, however, the Lord did not see it.
"I want to present a fundamental solution to the problem of vagabonds."
Wilhelm Evernatten was someone who thought of the people of the Holy Empire instead of doctrine.
Desir didn't spend much time with him, but in a few days he could have known more than enough.
"Do you know what the main cause of vagabonds is, Sir?".
"If, that is what happens in Gotheim".
"Yes, most of the Vagabonds come from Gothheim , and they are suffering so much and have no choice but to flee, as a result, the Vagabonds will increase in number. No, rather, tyranny will expand, and one day it will affect this place."
The capital of the Holy Empire will go to hell. Also being threatened by the shadow world for religious reasons.
'Which, he writes down.'
Desir knew about the end of the Holy Empire.
The world of Class 1 shadows finally destroyed the Holy Empire.
Only a few survivors maintained the worship of Artemis and remained just as members of the Western Empire.
The former associate, Priscilla, was also a member of the Artemis cult.
He was very bitter, remembering the collapse of one of the greatest nations.
"I can say that reform is necessary because I believe that the direction of the Holy Empire is not correct. See a lot of homeless these days is a sign that there is a problem with the Holy Empire. And solving the problem of the Holy Empire is a fundamental solution to the problem of vagrants."
Desir presented its fundamental solution.
"If the present Holy Empire continues in this way, we cannot avoid the problems that will arise in the future, as in the case of Gothheim, more vagrants will continue to appear in the course of time."
wtf.. ¿a donde vine a parar? D;
