Let's Manage The Tower
(25) Crown Materials
Mizuhikarigoke?
After hearing the name of the material and looking at the assistant who leaned his neck, Donovan began to explain in detail.
"Oh, I hear they often grow near puddles in the cave, but it's moss. Sometimes it glows as the name suggests."
It was Donovan who explained that, but it wasn't because he didn't know about the material that the examiner leaned his neck.
Instead, I knew the material with the same name.
He stopped Donovan trying to explain further and Kaisuke saw Shreyne.
"Do you have materials with the same name?
"Well, at least I don't know? I can't say anything because I can't say anything."
Shreyne came back with her neck tilted, just like Kaiseki.
After hearing the two conversations, Donovan would have understood what the scholars were trying to say.
I heard it with a slightly surprised face.
"Oh, come on. Could it be...?
"Yes, I've heard of materials with the same name. Among the things the Crown deals with."
Speaking of why Kaiseki knows this material among the huge number of materials, it is simply famous as a luxury material used for magic tools.
It is also difficult to increase the number of places where this moss is almost non-existent.
For that reason, the price was the material that was going up with the rabbit climbing.
In response, Donovan put his right hand on his forehead.
Ka... Are you serious!? That was a blind spot. "
No matter how good Donovan or Adele is, they don't know everything the Crown has to offer.
I know the materials that the branch may handle on boulders, but there are still quite a few types.
For this reason, I did not know that the Crown deals with Mizuhikarigoke.
By the way, equally rare and valuable materials are handled by the Crown.
"Well, the rare materials are accommodated just by spinning them around with my family, and there is no other information available. It might have to be."
"I'm sure he is.... huh? Wait, is it hard to get some kind of accommodation?
"What a boulder. If you want to know properly, I think it would be better to ask the department head.
That's right.
Donovan nodded convincingly in response to the reasonable examination.
"Nevertheless, did the Battle Chamber not know what the Crown was dealing with?"
"What do you think? Anyway, I guess Adele didn't know about it. Didn't they know?
Thinking about it, the examiner didn't know how much the Crown was putting on the table.
Because I collect the amount I use from outside the person's area of activity (hierarchy), I do not know the amount I am intentionally distributing.
Kaiseki knows that it can be collected in towers other than Amamiya towers, but I don't intend to teach him that much so far.
"Rather, the moss, what are you going to use it for? I brought it with confidence. That's a lot of stuff, right?
I've heard what Shreyne was wondering.
It was enough material to get rumored all over town.
Naturally, it would be quite worthwhile to think of it.
And Donovan nodded as expected.
"Oh, that's it. Actually, you have something to do with it."
Yes?
The examiner leaned his neck against words he did not expect.
I don't remember any particular cooperation in searching for materials, even if they were said to be relevant.
"Oh, no. It's not directly related. The material you found when you built this branch had Las Picca water, right?
"No way..."
"Yeah, I guess that's what I expected. Using that water and the moss we found this time, it seems we can make a highly effective medicine. Of course, they're not the only ones I use."
In Donovan's answer, the examiner's face turned out to be unspeakable.
In the first place, Las Picca was known as a lost material for a long time.
For this reason, they said they were not sure what kind of utilization method was available.
The Crown would have been experimenting with it.
"Did you find a way to use it?
Donovan shook his neck to the left and right as he leaned towards Shreyn.
"No, I don't know. However, if the Empire is really involved, it wouldn't be strange if the method was passed on."
It is the same material used in the Western Continent as Aeris Water.
In the old country, Donovan thought that even if the material itself had been lost, it would not be strange if the manufacturing method remained.
And that was the same idea as the exam aid.
"I'm sure that's true."
The older the country, the more likely it is that such records will remain.
The Dominican Empire, unfortunately, had nothing to do with the denial of past regimes and nations and the absence of ancient books and writings.
Regardless of the early days of the country's emergence, such margins can also arise because a stable regime has continued for a long time.
The examiner who was thinking of such a thing asked another question.
"Speaking of which, is it good to be sure that the Empire is involved?
"Sure enough evidence has not been found by the boulders. Well, you can say definite. What's wrong with that?
"Oh, no. If so, isn't it wonderful why the other two countries are not moving?
The three countries with which Seychun and his territory are touched have long struggled for ownership.
It was strange that it seemed strangely quiet only this time.
Donovan shakes his neck to the left and right in response to such examinations.
"No. I don't suppose it's not moving. That's why they've been fighting over Sechun for years. I'm sure that's a good deal to negotiate."
Even if there is no movement in the front, there is a sufficient possibility that negotiations are underway behind the scenes.
Rather, it was certainly better to see that some kind of interaction had already taken place, even though there was so much noise and nothing was still moving.
"So, is this a Crown sniper?"
Donovan nodded bitterly at the words of a direct examiner.
"Well, let's be clear. For them, we're foreigners who suddenly appear."
"What a strange relationship."
Apprenticeship made me feel so complicated that I could be impressed or stunned.
Well, let's do that.
Next to the examiner, Shreyn nodded saying such a thing.

After Kou left, Donovan remembered the exchange earlier in his office.
Thanks to the information from Kou, it seems easier to proceed than originally planned.
"An adventurer who knows about a Crown deal that Adele doesn't even know about."
I am already convinced in Donovan of the identity of Kou the Adventurer, but I will not speak his name.
This is what it looks like, but it looks just like everybody else out there.
However, not only Cory, but also many other associates, whose appearance was unusual from Donovan's point of view.
In addition, Kou has his own abilities, which he does not know by appearance.
"... where on earth do you accumulate such knowledge..."
For Donovan, Kou the Adventurer was a mystery.
"Well, aren't you thinking about that? Do you want to work?"
Donovan's murmur leaked in the office where there was no one else.
