Chapter 131: 131

“I understand the concept of Her Royal Highness Sister Wang… May I confirm it?

“Of course, what is it? Navre.”

Navre is the one with a reluctant face to my plan. Navre has asked me with an anxious look on his face.

“I know that only demon swords that I donate to Emperor Lukeheim use artificial demon stones. But if it doesn’t turn out to be a demon stone, then eventually the technology will cross over to the Empire?

“I can’t say I don’t. Assuming that technology has been analyzed, it is unlikely that we will be able to mimic technology to the practical level.”

I shake my head sideways against Navre’s anxiety and deny it. Unlike existing demonic props, I don’t think it’s an easy story to tell if the technology of demonic swords, which presupposes demonic stones, is going to spread in the empire.

“Unlike existing magic props, magic intervenes in the process of making artificial demon stones. So even if the Empire mass-produces Demon Swords with Demon Stones, there’s no point in investing without commensurate results for the cost of mass production.”

“Achievements commensurate with mass production costs…”

“Yes. The conditions necessary to achieve that result are strict. First of all, there are people who have an understanding of magic and are familiar with magic, and then there are people who have more than one skill in magic, and in addition, they process spiritual stones into demonic stones so that they can have a great effect, and finally, they have assets for research and development of demonic stones. At least that’s all the prerequisites. This is the point where the Kingdom of Palletia has an advantage over the Aylene Empire.”

Tell everyone to look at the problem one by one, with their fingers up. Because the Kingdom of Palletia is blessed with both human resources and resources, it can focus on the development of demonic stones. Thereafter, there are several directions in which to take advantage of it.

But not in the Empire. First of all, there is no doubt that the wizards of the Empire are smaller than the demographic ratio of the Kingdom of Palletia. And there is the question of whether there is an environment in which magic can be learned more than the Kingdom of Palettia.

And if you have enough standing to learn, you or your home will be quite a powerful figure in the Empire. There’s no way such a person can be discreet, and if you’re going to mass-produce demonic artifacts with demonic stones as a powerful weapon, you’ll have temporal restraints on the wizard. I mean, it’s unrealistic.

In this regard, because the Kingdom of Palletia has a large number of wizards, the burden can be dispersed.

“… I understand the logic. It’s a technology that’s hard to spread in empires.”

“Yes, so I think it would be better if I were allowed to remain in good relationship with the Kingdom of Palettia.”

“In order to have a good relationship with the Empire, the value of using Demon Stone as a technology specific to the Kingdom must be recognized, …. But can artificial demon stones be finished to something that performs so differently from existing demon props?

“I don’t know that unless I actually try. But I prove myself that demon stones can be highly effective. I think it goes well with the quality of the magic stone and the person…”

“… you wanted to impose such uncertainty on yourself.”

Navre sighs like a shudder. Sometimes I carved an engraving using Dragon’s Demon Stone on myself because I was certain that Dragon had “cursed me”. I decided I could go with the results of research and analysis based on the curse.

Of course, the premise is that there was a build-up of physical enhancement drugs made of demonic stones, and that the technology of the previous stage was solid. After explaining the details, I decided to shut up because I was going to be seen again with cold eyes.

“Um, Sister Wang? Natural demon stones have a surprisingly high effect from what I’ve heard, but do artificial demon stones lose more quality than nature?

“Mmm. I guess I should say that the quality is going to drop or that the development idea is different”

“Different thoughts, is it?

Charne raises her hand and asks me questions, but she leans her neck once in a while on my response.

“Artificial demon stones are something that leans against the idea of demonic props. I mean, something that walked from the magic side to the magic prop. So for the purpose of development, it’s on the extension line of the magic prop, but the opposite is the use of natural demon stones, a technology that allows the demon prop side to approach magic unlimited.”

“… eh?

“I mean, what do you mean!

I tilted my little neck to say I didn’t really understand Charne, and Gakun asked me well as I twisted my neck to hitch a ride. I almost got a sigh of relief by accident.

“… I don’t hate Gakun’s clean attitude. That’s right, artificial demon stones are made with a proper” purpose you want to make, “and natural demon stones are” tailored so that you can use the power there, I guess this is the difference. It’s the same thing in the sense of making it available, but the starting point and process are like different things. The technology itself can be applied. “

Don’t you blame me for my explanation either, Charne and Gakun don’t go back with their necks tilted.

Then Priscilla called out to me with a small cough.

“… the difference between what you can actually do is clear, right?

“Huh? Oh, yeah. Natural Demon Stones are used to recreate the demonic abilities of that Demon Stone, so that artificial Demon Stones can be used specifically for specific magic,”

“… that? But then the use of artificial demon stones isn’t the same thing as today’s demon props?

“No, Gark. Perhaps artificial demon stones are not general-purpose magic, but even their magic quality is changed by those who put their hands on artificial demon stones.”

It was Gakun who questioned my answer, but it was Navr who answered it before me.

“For example, suppose the two wizards can put the same magic into an artificial demon stone. However, the quality of magic varies depending on the skill of the processor. Surely it’s hard to tell how this would make a difference from previous demonic props if you just asked. But magic props are limitless simplifications for everyone to use…. don’t you remember hearing similar stories?

“… ah! Magic redefinition! In other words, is the artificial demon stone a demonic prop of its” inverse “?

“That’s right. When redefining magic, eliminate and simplify extra information such as the power of the operator. That is the study of the Countess Anti, but perhaps the artificial demonic stone is something that allows it to be used as a demonic prop without erasing the habits and characteristics of its users. Well, even if the same technology did spread in the Empire, the environment is too different from that of the Kingdom of Palletia to be applied.”

“You’re generally right with Navre’s understanding. And I believe that this will be one of the guiding principles for guaranteeing the future status of nobility.”

As long as it is done, should we talk about it in Navre’s explanation? Demonic props do use simplified magic, but by adding artificial demonic stones to demonic props, you may be able to use a limited amount of “non-simplified magic.”

And that artificial demon stone depends on the quality of the creator. Only a wizard can process spiritual stones into artificial demonic stones. So inevitably the identity and position of nobility must continue to be guaranteed by the State.

Even if civilians absolutely do not need noble hands by their magic tools, nobility can still boast a high demand. So it’s not going to be that easy in a world where it’s deemed unnecessary. That would lead to a sense of crisis being dispelled against the civilian population.

“… were you thinking so far? Since when?

“Before Uffi came to power, I thought of something similar.”

“… otherwise you will not establish a spiritual ministry on your own initiative,? I really seem to have misjudged you, Sister Wang.”

Navre bows his head all the time saying he’s awesome, making him look indescribable.

That’s why he doesn’t like to be too awed. Normal is fine, normal.

“Anyway! Now profits from using demon stones! The difference between natural and artificial! I think I know how that relates to the Empire. We need a lot of help to make this a reality! Magic bureau, it’s your first big job!

I met my hands and forced myself to break the course of this story.

Even after the meeting as a magic bureau, the actual research and development will be kept until the workshop is ready. Until then, we all went back to business as usual.

And I was cleaning up chores to run a magic city in the city office.

“Hmmm…… maybe it’s time to attract the Chamber of Commerce”

Until now, the Knights have regularly transported materials and pedestrians have carried their feet, but I think I will have to call the merchants to buy materials in the future.

The city is largely shaping up, and it might be time to call the Chamber of Commerce in earnest. It will also be a good entertainment for those involved in construction and for the staying knights. I’m going to finish that proposal, talk to Uncle Drags, and then bring it to the royal castle.

“Then we’ll have the knights manned to escort the merchants… Or maybe I thought it was a little early, but it’s a good idea to speak up to the Adventurer Guild and have a branch here. If you regularly request merchants to escort you, you can earn money from adventurers and stay with adventurers.”

The Adventurer Guild originally thought it would be an integral part of the City of Magic. There was an incident with the Empire that made it faster, but I also intend to go to study the Demon Stone, and I also planned to buy the Demon Stone from the Adventurer.

So the Adventurer Guild branch was going to be made someday, but the time is going to get quicker. In the meantime, I’m going to have to go to the Adventurer Guild not as an adventurer or a courtesy, but as a king’s sister. It makes me look sinister when I think about it.

“… will definitely be involved”

I know you’ll refrain from being more disrespectful than officially showing your face as a royal on a boulder, but I’m sure you’ll make fun of me later, and I’ll have a bitter worm-bitten face.

I hear adventurers unwittingly making fun of me, and I get angry by myself. As I waved away the laughter hallucinations of calling people in dishonorable names, I heard knocking on the door.

“Dear Anis, are you all right now?

“Tomas? Fine.”

Beyond the door was Tomas. Tomas came into the room if I gave him permission. The document was held in his hand. Tomas says as he offers the paperwork of that hand.

“I finished checking the inventory of materials I brought from the outhouse. Keep your eyes open.”

“Thank you. I could have done that.”

“No… Master Anis will be busy having to do things with Master Anis. This is what I can do. I don’t mind if you leave it to me.”

“That would be very helpful.”

I glance lightly at the inventory I received from Tomas. Before I brought it out here, I also made an inventory, but I also had Tomas check it with me when I unloaded it.

Tomas had grouped the ingredients together more finely than I did. I seem to see a serious Tomas temperament, which made me laugh unexpectedly.

“… hey, Dear Anis”

“Hmm? What?

Tomas called when he finished checking the inventory. I look up and see Tomas’ face.

Thomas looked troubled somewhere, though he was the usual faceless. I don’t have to rush Tomas like that, I just wait for words.

“… sorry. Not a good word.”

“Fine. Tomas has a lot to worry about because of me.”

“Oh…. I also thought at the meeting that Master Anis has really gotten better”

“Hey, what? Suddenly.”

Tomas praised me, and I accidentally rounded my eyes. I mean, I feel like it’s unusual for Tomas to compliment me.

“… no, you’re not. Master Anis has been amazing for a long time. I just couldn’t admit it. So now that you’re admitted… I thought it might be better.”

“… Tomas?

“I was going to decide not to get lost. But when I heard that Master Anis was getting more and more royal, and hung by it, I might become a nobleman, my shoulder load was getting heavier and heavier.”

… I had never heard a voice so full of Tomas’ agony. Tomas was really serious, so I thought I had no choice but to worry.

But I still can’t grasp where Tomas’ worries are coming from. Tomas said he still said something, too. So just wait jizzily and silently.

“… scary, dude”

“Scared?”

“… my father was a good enough blacksmith to make a deal with the nobles. He was clever enough not only to blacksmith, but also to be a meticulous man. For that matter, he was more of a bigot than me.”

“… good? That story, even if I hear it.”

I don’t know much about Tomas’ parents. I haven’t tried to find out before. Because I didn’t feel like Tomas wanted it.

Identity isn’t the only thing Tomas doesn’t like about nobility. Tomas hated the nobles. That seems to have healed a lot since I invited you as a consultant, too.

But I had never heard of how Tomas hated nobility. I didn’t want to ask, and I think in the past I was afraid that knowing would change my relationship with Tomas.

But I’m sure I could calmly ask if I could uncover Tomas’ past right now. But what about Tomas? I’m sure you made fun of me for wanting to talk to you. But I still confirm it because I’m not shallow with Tomas.

“Ah…. I hated nobility because my mother was murdered by nobility”

“Killed…?

“Not directly, though. Besides, it’s not just that nobleman’s fault. Because my father was bigoted too, and he said there was an unfortunate rubbing difference… and that’s what I wanted to think. However, the guests left the workshop once and for all due to the loss of the deal with the nobleman. Living poorer, my mother died of an epidemic.”

“… it was”

“Ah. My father must have been quite shocked, his back getting smaller day by day. Still stuffed me with just what I could do as a blacksmith. When I was admitted to being alone, I was relieved, I passed away, and I followed my mother.”

“So Tomas took over the Gana workshop.”

Tomas nods at my gavel. The gulf lying between civilians and nobles is huge. Recent reforms have allowed me to lurk the ringing, but it’s still recent. That time is too short to fade from a person’s memory.

“I hated nobility. They don’t know that civilians die easily if they wield their privileges, and they have to try to understand. That’s what I thought, and I never wanted to get involved”

“… so I must have been a little depressed, huh?

“Oh, really.”

“Deny it.”

“I can’t…. Hate nobility, I wouldn’t have bothered you so much if you stayed rotten.”

“… what’s bothering you?

I speak to Tomas to ask the core. Tomas strayed from my gaze and stared at his own hand.

“… I had to get to know Master Anis, I ended up being a bigoted aristocratic hater blacksmith. But I’ve been recognized for my power, and I’m trying to be a nobleman. I’m not anxious about my arm. That’s all I’ve been trying to do, I want to try for my father, who’s broken half my mind.”

“… yeah”

“But if you can’t admit it no matter how hard I try, that’s it. Good if I just can’t admit it…. I’m afraid the person who anticipated me will be miserable because of me.”

Tomas said so quietly, in a bitter voice.

“I was going to be ready. Dear Anis, you are amazing after all. I don’t like it, but I do. And I know you’re sweet. For once, I’ve seen sweet things in my nostalgia and the temperament of trying to protect myself from being hurt.”

…………

“The ideals that Anis wants to achieve are incredibly splendid. They’ll think I’ll repeat them again and again, but I respect Anis as much as I repeat them again and again. So I’m not anxious if I can keep up with it…. all I have is a blacksmith’s arm. Otherwise, I can’t help you.”

… to Thomas’ words, I accidentally scratched my head. Trouble, I hope the words come together well.

“… you know. Tomas.”

“… ah”

“I honestly don’t know if I’m as amazing as everyone says I am.”

I’d like to take as much praise as I can get at myself, but still, the experience I’ve built up won’t let me swallow it so easily.

I’ve always lived unacknowledged. Because I suppressed myself because I thought I wasn’t who I was supposed to be.

“But I know. There is something I can say with confidence. Even when the Magic Prop wasn’t recognized for its value, I always thought it was worth it, and I kept believing it was for someone, above all for me.”

“… oh, I know”

“Then I can believe Tomas. I want to protect what I believe, even if it hurts. But, right? I also learned that what I wanted to believe was going to protect me these days.”

I want to believe. He said that people, things, things that he thought were worth it would be recognized correctly.

And I’ve also learned in the last few years that someone who believes in me will try to protect me.

“So… I can’t say it well, but I don’t want you to hold me in alone. If Tomas only has a blacksmith arm, I want him to take care of everything else. If you think that’s a burden, if you’re worried that you only have a blacksmith arm, you don’t have to worry about anything else.”

“… what?

“I believe in Tomas’ blacksmith arm. If you keep facing that problem, I’m not worried about anything. You’ll get there someday.”

I believe that the day will come when Tomas will truly stretch his chest. I don’t know if that’s while I’m alive, or if it’s the last time I look back on my life.

“I wanted my dreams to come true because I wanted everyone to dream too. I do fear dreaming. It’s hard not to make it happen. But I did. I got it. So I’ll do what I can for it. I want to help everyone fulfill their dreams. Because that’s the first, the wish I magically wanted. Ever since the day I admired the sky and thought I could make the impossible possible”

That’s it, I stare straight at Tomas again. Tomas, who was out of sight, had at some point turned his gaze back on me.

“You never heard of it, did you? Does Tomas have dreams?

“…………… oh, I do”

“Oh well. Then I’ll back you up. I will support your dreams, just as Tomas has supported mine.”

“… don’t throw up weak noises in front of Master Ennis.”

Tomas says as he scratches his head at first sight. And breathe out deep, big sighs.

Exhaled Tomas slowly stretches his spine. Tomas’ gaze stares straight at me. It’s clearer than ever, with powerful eyes.

“- My dream is that Master Anise’s dream will come true. I already know that. I’m sure many people will live proudly in a world where Anise’s dreams have come true.”

“… from the front, you’re embarrassed”

“Oh, I’m also a little embarrassed…. someday, I always thought it would be good to make it happen. I withdrew because I thought it had come true. But you’re still going first. What the hell, that. Doesn’t that mean we haven’t got enough?”

“There it is!

I know. The beauty of this world, and not here. “One day the beauty of the world. I know those two things, so I can tell you with my chest open that this world isn’t enough yet.

“If that’s a dream, come true, Tomas. We’re just getting started, aren’t we?

“… he’s really a tough guy to follow.”

Tomas’ expression still doesn’t seem to clear his troubles. But Tomas was laughing.

One day, when even the clouds of that concern cleared up. What faces are we laughing at each other? Imagine that, I wasn’t going to be stopped from laughing.
