Most of the members who did not know the situation at the time tilted their heads and asked Duke Pendleton again as if they did not understand.

“I understand that magic can't be used without Mana in your world? ”

“That's why I developed it. It's owned by the Director of Security. It's a tool that enables the use of magic in an environment that has no Mana at all. So it's designed in the form of ordinary objects that are harmless in our world. ”

“…… Is that possible? ”

“The odds were pretty high. as long as the imperial court didn't disagree at the completion stage. ”

The emperor, who was uncomfortable with Yura's remarks, coughed a few times and said.

“Why did my ancestors disagree? ”

“When the granite heats up, the impurities that keep it solid fly away, leaving only pure Mana crystals liquefied. That's how we compress the Mana crystals back into ultra-high pressure. ”

“Wait, so Mana just vaporizes and blows away? ”

“So I carefully ground the dragon's bones to hold Mana. ”

“ ……. ”

The majority of Yura's council gazed at the Queen with a fierce expression. Touching a dragon because there's nothing left to touch.

A single cough is a dragon that turns the world upside down. Paradoxically too powerless because he has so much power.

“Don't get me wrong. because they didn't use dragons today, they used dragon bones that died seven days before the disaster. ”

“…… They tolerated that? ”

“At the time, things were going that fast. It was a time when I didn't even think about it. ”

“You must be proud to disagree with what even a dragon has done at the expense of sacrifice. ”

Yura said with a hesitant look on his face because of the emperor's muttering.

“It couldn't have been made without the dragon's cooperation. We can compress it once with our own power, but repeatedly compressing the compressed crystals requires the strength of a dragon. We repeatedly compressed the crystals that were made until they were no longer compressible. The amount of horseshoe spent there.... ”

Instead of talking, I took out a pen from my arms and said,

“There are over a million high purity horseshoes in the production of one of these 10,000 pencils. ”

Yura's words frightened the members, opening their mouths. Millions. Simple numerology, but overwhelming in value. With the economic value of using only commodities except yawns, the empire's budget for hundreds of years has flown into the air.

“I remember. I was desperate. ”

“Memories are painful, even memories. At that time, it was not an exaggeration to say that the whole species had gone mad. ”

All the elders who knew the situation in the queen's words shook their heads with a bitter look.

“By the way, how did you meet the demand for the second time? As far as I'm concerned, we don't currently have enough to fill 10,000 stall mining units per year. ”

When Duke Pendleton asked, the Queen and the Senate members sighed at the same time.

“I scoured the continent at that time, collecting all the stopstones called stalls. It wasn't enough. All the races were scouring the continent for stable stone mines. Most of the existing stable stone mines were found back then. ”

“... And yet you're incomplete? ”

When the emperor asked with a bored expression, the queen boldly rebuked him.

“It's a prototype. After the development was completed, I planned to oxidize it and send it to the team. But you can't just leave an agent alone, can you? But just before the prototype was completed, a defense coat was developed. So the Supreme Committee had to choose between the two. The emperor raised his hand. ”

I was objectionable. I didn't burn down the stable while catching bed bugs, and I didn't have a reason to waste such a tremendous resource until I rolled over when I had no other choice.

“The Supreme Committee was also concerned about the resources that had been put in so far, but they were running low on the amount of horseshoes that would be consumed by generating defense coats, and they were getting tired of the serious human resources consumption, so they had no choice but to strand them towards the mountain of defense coats that would quickly see the results. ”

It was so crazy that the members had to sigh.

“I can argue with that. ”

Duke Pendleton nodded, empathetic to the murmur, and Yura smiled and said, "Do you find that funny?"

“It was all my doing, so it had nothing to do with me, whatever I chose. After the defense coat was determined, we recycled all the by-products of other plans for resource concentration, but we couldn't recycle them. Well, there was no way to scramble the dragon bone powder. ”

“But haven't you been trying to figure out another way to use it? ”

With the emperor's sarcastic tone, Yura grumbles.

“What do you want me to use? I'm a developer, not a user. It's hard for me to use such ingenious directions as the Secret Service. Besides, the Empire and the Supreme Council are all tied up in my neck, and you think you should care about something other than hanging on to your defense coat? I want results by shaping small budgets, time and stones. It's enough to have experience in my world. ”

“Is that why unlimited budgets have been kept in storage? ”

Duke Pendleton interrupts as Yura's gaze grows sharper, as if planted by the emperor's words.

“Then why have you been hiding the queen's work all this time? ”

“What's so great about that? ”

At Yura's words, the Senate members nodded their heads as if they were deeply sympathetic. In fact, the work was closer to Central.

Just after the seven day aftermath of the disaster. It was a time when everyone was literally going crazy to survive, so it wasn't just common sense to collect the horses. That is, it is not a matter for people to talk about.

“Anyway, I think we got off on the wrong foot. Let's get to the point. ”

As the queen had said, I couldn't just talk about the artwork forever, and everyone nodded in agreement because it was an awkward matter to publicize.

“Oh, and before we get to the point, I think some of you would like to rely on the Guard Service on forbidden land, which is impossible. ”

Several members tried to intervene in Yura's pronounced speech, but Yura's words were faster.

“There are a number of complex reasons, but if you want to get rid of them all and put the Guard Service on the forbidden land, just get Duke Pendleton's consent. Then I have no reason to disagree. ”

Yura's words silently silently examine Duke Pendleton's attention until then. Libria, the deputy director of course, must also stay in the forbidden land if the guard is confined to the forbidden land.

You know, without even knowing it, you know you're part of the Secret Service, and you can barely keep your mouth shut. You spend your life in a forbidden land close to nothing? It's like Pendleton has nothing to say even if he starts a rebellion.

He swallows a gulp and squeezes at Duke Pendleton. Otherwise, he snorts and squeezes his mouth shut, his nostrils blazing.

“Anyway, you said Central lost a favorable notice, right? Let me first confirm that this was confirmed by the Director of Surveillance himself at my request. The Director of Surveillance informed us that the expedition had teamed up with one of the group of" Horse "or" Thousand "class defectors. ”

“…… I don't understand. The expedition doesn't even know the existence of those two forces. ”

“That's what we knew. But think about it. Wouldn't it make more sense to know who knows more about a gate than we do, and that the expedition had developed a way to open one in a short period of time? ”

“ ……. ”

Despite the queen's words, Yura sighed and said, looking at it with an unbelievable gaze.

“You said that the unique reaction that occurs when the gate is opened only happens for two or three seconds and then vanishes? So as I was upgrading the system, I compared the data, and I found a couple of matches. ”

“…… Does that mean that the gate was opened secretly before? But this is the first time a gate has been opened on forbidden land. ”

“I didn't say anything about a specific reaction being captured on forbidden land. ”

“ ……. ”

Yura said, the conference room was static. The people who understood the meaning of the words looked at Yura in horror and unbelievable gaze.

“Do you know what that means now? ”

Yura nodded, asking with a slightly trembling voice.

“Of course.”

“I can't believe it. ”

“I know you don't want to believe it, but it's already happened. ”

“Nonsense! ”

“The Mana Storm of the Forbidden Land is maintained by dragons! The expedition has no way of evading it! ”

“Do you have any evidence? You can't trust a simple reasoning without proof! ”

Yura's words were like bombs. At the same time, the members blurted with a confused look. It was a big problem that the expedition was able to leave the forbidden land.

“Data doesn't lie. There's a saying in our world that enemies are allies. If you have the same goal of making this world a mess, why don't you join hands? ”

“This is an assumption that doesn't have the right evidence! ”

At the emperor's rebuttal, Yura sighed.

“Why do you think I asked the warden to move directly? Everyone assumes there's no evidence, but consider again that the Director of Surveillance judges the situation suspicious. ”

“ ……. ”

Everyone kept their mouths shut. If it had been the words of another ordinary agent, he could have ignored it, but he should have regarded it as a serious threat, rather than ignore it, as long as it was the words of the warden.

“I have one question. Why did the Director of Surveillance move himself? We could use the regular agents. ”

Yura's expression grows sharp as he rebukes the emperor. It seemed like a pure question, but there was a nuance between the queen and the warden.

“Don't forget, while Central was on guard, the enemy rushed into our core and stole most of the high-end information. The Supreme Council doesn't seem to take this lightly, but the enemy knows all about surveillance, operations, analyst behavior, tactics, and how to respond. It's simple to hide something from someone who knows how to move. That's why I had to ask the warden myself. And unfortunately, while the warden was doing what I asked him to do, he was pretty pissed that this happened and he watered himself again. ”
