After Mr. Reinhardt taught me how to handle magic characters in this world, I asked what I was curious about.
"Speaking of which, didn't anyone try to develop a new language and turn it into a magic letter?When I was talking about it earlier, I felt like I was a long time ago.... "
"Hmm... I don't know what to say... Unlike now, literacy rates used to be very different for everything.Now is the opportunity to learn a variety of things in each region at the initiative of the Kingdom, but not in the past.That's why even the original magic letter is said in the doctrine.I was wrong, but that person didn't create a new language, did he?
Really?
"Oh, I suppose it's true that I thought of spreading magic on the characters that existed in those times.And in a low literacy rate, the person who understands and manipulates the meaning accurately, while spreading magic on the letters, is the old person I mentioned earlier. "
"I see...."
"When the magic letter was made and the person who could not read it carved the shape with an imitation, it was said that the effect was properly exerted.In addition, in order to be recognized as magic characters from this world, it is necessary to have a common understanding that many residents of this world know the meaning of the characters.In the past, few people were able to manipulate the language itself, but even with that small number of people, it worked properly, and perhaps the regulations to become an unusual magic letter are loose.Regardless, the common perception was eventually engraved on the stars and developed into magic letters.This letter that you brought in the Jew would have worked because it was known in your country without our knowledge. "
"Ah, ahahaha"
All I could do was smile bitterly at Mr Reinhardt's words.
I don't know the truth, but Kanji could have been used as a magic character because many people on Earth recognize the existence of Kanji.To a more limited extent, Japanese and Chinese people know some things, including meaning, and from this world, I may have been able to bring not only letters, but also their common perception into this world.
Say it yourself, what is it about bringing in common sense?
I wonder, the word "kanji" itself is engraved with meaning and common recognition on the earth, like our human genes, and bringing "kanji" into this other world means bringing each of those genes.
Rather, if this hypothesis is correct, it may be difficult for me to create new characters and further shorten the magic characters.
To be able to use that letter as a magic letter, we need to spread the meaning to people around the world.How many people can be treated as magic characters? Is there a standard?At the very least, we will need to have the same level of awareness as the population of Japan and China.If Mr Reinhardt's story is true, the hurdle seems quite low considering the old literacy rate.
Anyway, it's not that simple.That's right.I wouldn't think about producing letters and shortening them.If you try to create a magic character in a new language, it begins by spreading it around the world.That's tough.
Considering that, I can say that I was very lucky to be from another world and to be able to handle Chinese characters.I wonder if the luck of status is working again?
"Now, do you understand some of the magic letters?Nevertheless, it's strange that you don't know what you're dealing with..... "
All I could do was laugh at Mr Reinhardt's allegations and deceive him.
Mr. Reinhardt has taught me so politely that I don't know anything so far... I am a merchant, so I was prepared to be disadvantaged in various situations, but I really appreciate it.
"So, what do we do?Would you like to patent the magic letters?
"Yes, that's right.Please. "
I accepted Mr. Reinhardt's words and moved smoothly to the registration of magic letters.
And the magic letters that I filed for a patent were magic instruments brought in other than "refrigerators," "low flames," "medium flames," "high flames," "loudspeakers," "recorders," and "blowers."There are also several types of "hot wind" and "cold wind" used for air conditioning.
The number of Chinese characters is sixteen.
Rheinhardt and Katrea roared as they conveyed the kanji characters with meaning.
"Su, that's amazing...."
"Ah... just the magic letters you brought in today will cover the common sense of all magical instruments.Besides, all of them have a wide range of applications.... "
Mr. Reinhardt, who had examined the magic letters he had submitted again, went back to the back of the reception and returned with a large bag.
"Well, the magic letter patent is set at 100 gold coins per letter.Of course, that's the price minus the patent application fee.In other words, I will pay you 1,600 coins this time. "
"1,600 pieces!?"
I opened my eyes to a ridiculous forehead.
But Mr Reinhardt continued laughing.
"It's still too early to be surprised.Anyone who wants to use the magic letters you applied for needs to pay a certain amount, so the proceeds are yours. [M]Of course, some fees will be deducted, but the magic letters you applied for will be very small... and the money will move. "
……
I didn't think it would be that big. I just dazed.
Then Mr. Cattlerer took out the new paper and gave it to me.
"Dear Yuya, Would you like to open a bank account?The amount is the amount, and it would be a great deal to transfer the patent fee from now on..... "
Katrea was right, and somewhere dreamy, she wrote down her name while reading the contract.
