Let's Manage The Tower
Episode 2 Towards the Establishment of a Crown Branch
The unveiling of the new divine engraver was successfully completed.
But that's not all Kaosuke & Isnani wanted to show this time.
Alec has come all the way for that.
The Alec answered the question.
"So why did you call me?
Even as Alec, I don't think he's being called just to show off the divine engraver.
The questioned examiner looked at Kouchi who was coming with him.
The kouhi took something out of the item box.
The number of units is four. The size is about one turn smaller than the divine engraver.
There is no major difference in shape from the divine engraving machine.
"... what is this?
It was Alec who raised the question, but the other members had the same look.
"A simplified version of the divine engraver. Precisely a device that can temporarily issue Alliance cards without status engraving and communication?
Everyone's attention was drawn to the remarks made by the examiner.
The number of divine engraving machines has been in trouble until now, and the number of engraving machines increased by four at once.
Even so, it can be seen from the words of the study aid that the core function is not attached.
"What exactly can you do?
"Everything but status and communication?
She nodded when the examiner saw Isnani.
"From registration of magic crests to registration of information, you can issue cards with most features."
"... I see, so it's provisional."
One of the factors that has increased the number of adventurers to the Crown is the display of Crown Card status.
Without that status display and communication capability, it will not be the same as an Alliance card that matches just a Transfer Gate pass.
Of course, magic crests are registered, so they can be used as ID cards within the crown.
Speaking of which, since the data at the time of issuance is also recorded, it can be said that a new registration is made in a simplified version and a status display function is added in the official version.
It is possible to issue an official version of a crown card simply by registering a new one in a simplified version and transcribing the status in an official version.
It will only take the most time to prepare documents when the simplified version is available.
"I made it assuming... can I use it?
"I think there is a division of tasks, but... do you really need to divide them so far?
Currently, only two divine engraving machines (official version) can make crown cards.
The opinion is that it would be pointless to make a temporary crown card because it would soon be officially registered.
"Yeah, well, it doesn't make much sense to leave it here as usual."
Everyone here understood what Kaiseki wanted to say to the profound words of Kaiseki.
"I see. That's why they call me."
That's what Alec said.
"Are you going to set up a branch other than the tower hierarchy?
It was Schmidt who made it clear.
"Yeah, I think it's mainly for adventurers.... what do you think, Gazelan?
Kaiseki thought about setting up a branch this time because there was talk of an increase in monsters in the streets previously reported by the Defraya family.
I figured if I could build a branch, I would be able to prevent the Tower from focusing on the Adventurers alone.
Then you can attract adventurers who were hesitant to come all the way to the Tower.
"Mm... Honestly, I don't know how effective this is. Besides, there's no point in putting it in a city with a transfer gate, right?
There is no point in putting a branch in a city with a transfer gate because there is no distance constraint.
Of course, I also think about examinations.
"Yeah, that's why I'm calling Alec. From a political point of view, Alec, from a commercial point of view, that's where Schmidt comes from, right?
Alec and Schmidt looked at each other for a moment.
Even so, it seemed to have come to a conclusion at that moment.
"If you really want to set up a branch, it would be four big cities."
"I mean, that's the only option."
Four major cities are cities located in the northeast, southwest and north of the Central Continent.
The name of the city is also the direction of the city.
The four cities are the first cities to be colonized and built on the Central Continent.
The reason was simple: each city was located close to the other four continents.
Each city in the Central Continent was colonized around these four cities.
Naturally, the size of the city is also the largest in the Central continent.
As far as adventurers are concerned, this is not the case, but it is not only the adventurers who make up the inhabitants of the city.
Nevertheless, the current situation also affects the Crown, particularly the commercial sector, in these four major cities.
That's all, the materials coming out of the tower had a huge impact on the Central Continent.
Incidentally, adventurers who live in the four major cities also want to see their status, so they come to the tower only to register.
Given that, it makes sense to have branches in four major cities.
Rather, it was being considered whether it was time to set up branches in four major cities.
As a big problem, there was a problem with the crown card, but even if it was temporary, the creation of a simple version of the divine engraving machine would be a great advantage in building the branch.
"I understand for the Crown, but what about politics?
Alec smiled bitterly at the question of the examiner.
"To be honest, most of the time I'm asking you to build it because you can do anything at the branch. Of course, I've been telling you a long way."
To do this, the examiner rounded his eyes.
"... is that so?
Apprenticeships thought that existing organizations hated it when large organizations like crowns came in.
"That's how the materials and resources that flow from the tower have a huge impact on the city. I'm sure you're hoping that if a branch is created, there will be so much distribution. I'm sure it will."
Alec glanced at Schmidt, but nodded to agree.
"Once a branch has been created, of course, goods will circulate from the tower toward the branch. Naturally, a large caravan will be built."
The creation of a caravan will naturally be accompanied by the hiring of escort adventurers.
Some will return, but so will the number of adventurers who will stay at the branch, the destination of the caravan.
Each city expects these adventurers.
You can expect an adventurer to come back from the tower alone.
"Haah. I see. I'm thinking a lot..."
Gazelan nodded to convince him of the study aid he had heard.
There must have been something I could agree with about Schmidt.
As an examiner, I didn't even think about that when I made a simple version of the divine engraving machine.
However, I made this simplified version thinking that I would never be able to recruit just a tower.
"Well, as long as there's no problem. Instead, is it okay to create branches, such as funds and human resources?
It is a question that has been considered for a long time, so naturally it is expected that it will be considered around that area.
"From a political point of view, you should make four at the same time, right?
This is Alec's word. Four major cities are positively influenced by the continents of east, west, south and north.
There are places where each is in tension, so it can be troublesome to give preference to one of them.
"... the funds won't be a problem. If there is a problem, it is a talent, but fortunately there is a good pool of talent here, so some people will be able to entrust each branch."
"Oh, I see. There's nothing wrong with me."
Gazelan nodded at Schmidt's words.
By the way, at this point Dareth is not part of the conversation.
When it comes to the four major cities, there is hardly enough space for a new Craft Alliance to enter.
"So there's no problem?
Everyone here nodded at the final confirmation of the examination.
With this time, it was finally decided that the crown would go out of the tower and start its activities.
