"Hm? That can't be right, can it? I took a quick look before I came. The Solomon Kingdom has gained two towns—one's an Adventurer's Town, and the other could barely be called a commercial town. Add Big Sister's workshop to that... surely it's not that bad?" Isaac eyed Caesar suspiciously. He suspected his big brother was trying to get it for free!
The Solomon Kingdom hadn't been independent for long and was considered one of the smaller kingdoms. But as the saying goes, small but mighty. Not every kingdom could get High-level Mages to work for them, and even if they could, it was rare for them to be fully dedicated to production. Therefore, Solomon was actually not short on money.
"We earn money, sure... but we can't save any of it..." Caesar said with a wry smile, spreading his hands again.
