Let's Manage The Tower

(6) Two magic equipment creation departments (Part II)

There is a big difference between the magic equipment creation department in the craft department and the magic equipment creation team led by Andoni.

It's not just that the magic equipment that I'm simply making is different, but that the object of selling the magic equipment is different.

The magic equipment creation department in the crafts sector basically targets people who can pay even high amounts, such as nobles and merchants.

Meanwhile, Andoni's magic equipment creation unit distributes items that can be bought by ordinary households.

Of course, it can be produced in large quantities, and the material itself is cheap.

However, even if it is mass production, it is not made by a large machine such as a factory, but only by human hands, so there is a limit.

To put it plainly, the luminaires that Kaiseki has come up with that are beginning to spread to each household are probably the most important ones.

Using the slime as a raw material, lighting magic equipment can now be maintained at a low cost.

Since the lighting itself can be provided cheaply without the use of expensive materials, it was sold and exploded.

Unfortunately, it is not installed in all households because production cannot keep up, but it will also be a matter of time.

However, that does not mean that the expensive luminaires have disappeared so far.

Previously made lighting fixtures are still used in the homes of nobles and merchants due to their high artistic qualities.

We're starting to live apart.

The magic equipment creation department in the crafts department originally created expensive magic equipment.

In the first place, the creation of magical instruments was a job that had to have considerable knowledge and high technical skills, especially magical powers.

It is the natural flow that a person who is expected to be talented can join an apprentice and finally become independent after a long period of study.

Naturally, many people give up their dreams along the way.

As a result, it became inevitably expensive due to the small number of people who could create it, and it was used by nobles and merchants.

It can be said that Kaiseki made a splendid hole in it.

The first thing Andre wanted from us was to be able to make parts one by one.

I put the whole thing behind me.

The point is that until then, craftsmen were able to cover research, development, and production alone, so that only production could be done.

Of course, that alone is no different, but the burden has undoubtedly been greatly reduced.

As a result, even though it has only been three years since I started education, it is already established as a sector of production.

Words intersect between Andoni and Serio.

It is mainly in the form of Andoni listening to Serio's explanations.

Now the seriousness explains the lighting that has something in common.

Starting with how lighting is made, it now extends to that theory.

In the first place, the lighting that Serio and the others are making assumes that magic can be used.

It is a magic tool that chooses the person to use, because the magic that can enter the magic circle also has to be understood.

Naturally, the magic team theory used in magic tools has become very advanced.

To be clear, Andoni had no idea of the theory described later, regardless of how it was made.

The same goes for the two of us.

Andoni was vague, but I wondered if Kaiseki allowed this discussion to be understood.

Unfortunately, I can't understand it right now, but I hope that I can do anything about it.

As for the theory, I could not understand it, but I planned to absorb it and go back where I could.

For Andoni, who was originally a slave and didn't even have that education, I know that this time is very important.

I knew I was in a position to be taught, so I didn't want to worry about the other person taking any attitude.

However, there was absolutely no need for such a mindset, and it seemed that Serio was only talking about what was necessary.

I didn't look down on Andoni because he was a slave.

I have many apprentices, so I can understand to some extent where they are.

I tried to explain things that I didn't understand in detail.

The change in flow was triggered by a word from Dales.

"I'm almost done explaining, but do you have anything to ask?

There is no problem with the question itself.

The problem was Andoni's question.

"We talked about production processes and theories, but what about productivity?

"What? Productivity?

Serio is also the head of the department.

It is not that I do not understand the meaning of the term productivity.

Instead, Dareth told me that my ears became octopus.

But I didn't expect slaves to hear the word productivity.

Andoni and the others were just listening in silence, so the seriousness was wrong.

I didn't think I'd be entrusted with everything until the delivery.

"Yes, I've heard that it's been a lot of work, but I don't think we've been able to make as many?

"Ah, ah. Yeah, that's right. Is it about a week for a single craftsman? It changes depending on what you make."

Basically, things that are made for aristocrats and merchants are made to order, so there is hardly anything exactly the same.

"I see. Is it regarded more as art or artwork than as a practical item?

There are aspects to that.

Cerio barely replied, but that side is more demanding than the inexpensive lighting that Andoni is making.

I am certain that we need a high skill in magic equipment making, but as far as the outside is concerned, we are definitely looking for value as a work of art.

And in Andoni's next words, Serio's eyes changed color.

After listening to Serio, Andoni, who had been thinking for a while, said:

"Regardless of the part that functions as a magical instrument, can't you create a part that requires such artistry?

In Andoni's words, the two men who sat beside Serio stood in color.

One person and others stood up from their seats and tried to object.

But Serio stopped it.

I realized Andoni wasn't trying to take their job.

Besides, the look on Dareth's face seemed intriguing.

"What do you mean?

Dareth asked Andoni.

"To put it plainly, can you just leave it to the experts who said that? Due to the nature of magic tools, there seems to be a problem that the shape and material cannot be changed."

Hmm. How about that?

Dareth turned to the seriousness.

The serio thought for a while but shook his head.

"Honestly, I don't know. Certainly, there are places where design is better left to you, but there are things you can't change. And it can be a lot of work."

"In the first place, it's something that sells with rare value, so I thought there might be something that increases value where I said it."

In Andoni's words, Dareth and Serio looked at each other.

"... it's worth considering."

For example, in the case of lighting, you can go directly to the house of a wholesaler or merchant to think of a design that fits the layout of the house or something that matches the order.

A certain amount of knowledge of magic equipment is needed, but some people who think in the design field may be able to improve their artistry and artistry.

It didn't take long for Andoni's casual suggestions to change the image of magical instruments, especially those related to life.
