Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 492 Extended Battle

The story of Bandolfi, a surveyor, continues.

"Well, if you say so, we're in business to walk. Walk straight at the exact stride. When I get to the measurement point, I come straight back. You measure it on your way and home, too. People have handy feet, and without knowing it, they turn right or left, so they avoid it."

Have you even triangulated the boulder?

The places they measure are the villages and narrows of the woods where monsters may not know when to leave.

I guess that kind of technique didn't develop because I didn't have the opportunity to measure places that I could see far away.

If so, what the hell do the triangular plates they have use for?

I guess I didn't read that mind, but they kept explaining that they were going to take out the triangular plate.

"What we need when measuring the breadth of the field is this gathering of triangular plates. Territorial fields are not very precisely shaped. It takes a complex form, in relation to land and rights. So we need to measure the extent to which taxes can be taken and the breadth of complex forms of fields. As you can imagine, it's a less likeable job."

Bundolphi's joke gives me a little laugh.

"So we see the field as a triangular gathering. The outer shape can be measured by rope and gait to give the overall shape. Its contents can be measured by combining triangles. We know the breadth of these triangles, so we can give them real breadth by how many times the actual size."

In short, proportions and puzzles, intuitively.

Instead of calculating signs and cosigns, the technique of surveyors in this world has advanced in the direction of measuring polygons as a triangular split puzzle.

I don't know who thought about it, but it's certainly a practical method.

"Quite a clever way to do it."

When he accidentally put it in his mouth, Bandolfi gave him a happy look.

"Dear deputy, do you understand?"

"Oh. But isn't that close to a surveyor's secret trick? I appreciate you talking to me, but was it good?"

"What, if I could just ask, I wouldn't have a hard time. It took me three years to walk correctly. The way I measured breadth in this triangle also had a lot of difficulty counting numbers as well as remembering combinations. Instead, if there's someone I can emulate right away, I'll hire that person."

Bundolphi laughed off my concerns like an expert confident in the skill he had acquired.

"Now, if you have any questions?

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Considerable time had elapsed when questions were included, even though only surveying experts had explained it.

Many questions were asked by other experts, and it took time to answer them.

"Dear deputy, it's going to be too late for your appointment."

"Right."

Claudio, who is in charge of managing progress, whispers of the persecution of time.

"Do you want to put it off? Can the church still be used tomorrow?"

"I'll try to negotiate. I think it's probably possible."

"Is the rest convenient for the participants? Speaking of which, Priest Nicolo..."

"I'm home. He said he'd see the fold again."

Priest Nicolo is also a busy man, so of course he is.

In the first place, it was strange to see your face until earlier.

"The basics go in the direction of extension. The knowledge of the participants and the bottom-up of the collaboration will always help to facilitate the construction. An extension of one day here would shorten the overall schedule of construction by five days"

Claudio seemed to support my decision.
