42-17 Principality of Jags

Jen was escorted straight to the basement of the Duke's Royal Castle.

In one of those rooms, Peggin Borntov of the 'Committee of Ten' was waiting.

"Nice to meet you. Things like gin, you're going to have to use the transfer gate (warp gate) to get you to the Principality of Jags. There's more to the story. The officer in charge should explain it."

"Okay."

"... well, maybe you're strong, but you're depressed, huh? Rest assured, this transfer gate (warp gate) is stable. I've never had an accident."

That would be the word that came out because I know the information that Jen apparently came to this continent in a transfer accident.

Jen does not reply.

"Just in case, I'll let you unpack."

When a soldier next to Peggin Borntov snapped Jen's luggage, he smashed the contents over the table.

What was in it was changing underwear and a shirt. Three more stones.

About the stone is a memorial to the village of Tazzi, Jen said, and Peggin nodded boringly.

"It's unusual for a guy to have no luggage so far."

Peggin squeaks with a slightly frightened voice.

This is followed by a physical check.

The contents of the wallet were checked, but the gold coins were undone as they were.

The "protective ring (protection ring)" fitted to the finger also remains intact.

"Look, go"

It was in the next room that I pointed to.

As Jen and Hope turned, two soldiers with spears stood to the left and right of the transfer gate (warp gate), by the gatekeeper.

(Normal mould)

It is the same mould Jen used in Penglai. I see no progress for 400 years.

I can see it working properly. Jen was relieved because he could not see the instability.

"Well, then, I'll go"

As he went to the next room, Jen easily stepped into the transfer gate (Warp Gate). Hope follows suit.

The two appearances disappeared in an instant.

"... Hmm, there you go. But he didn't show any reaction when he saw the transfer gate. As if it wasn't uncommon."

There were about ten soldiers and one bureaucrat-style man out of the Transition Gate.

"Welcome to the Principality of Jags.... Follow me"

When a man says just that, he turns himself in.

Jen leaves the transfer gate (warp gate) room with two soldiers. Hope is with us.

Keep going up the stairs, and what was guided was a room like a qualitative reception room.

"Hang up."

The man sat himself down first and let Jen sit in the front of it.

"Well, welcome again, Mr. Jin.... I'm afraid it's the same name as the ancient (if any) 'Conlon Kung'.... but you're pretty good at it. I hope so."

"Oh, thank you."

"You haven't introduced yourself yet. My name is Rokow Bee Sihalo. He's one of the tech officers. He's in charge of you."

"... Regards"

When Jen lowered his head, Rokou nodded to Eagle Deep.

"Well, let's start by explaining the status quo"

Rokow spoke out.

"There is the Principality of Norha to the east of our Duchy of Jags and the Principality of Darat to the south. There is also a country in the southeast called the Duchy of Mimaka, but first you just need to care about the Duchy of Norha and the Duchy of Darat"

……

Rokow continued ahead because Jen wouldn't say anything.

"As a national power, my Duchy of Jags is the strongest. But it is not enough in relation to being sandwiched between the Principality of Norha and the Principality of Dar 'at, which, if the two countries had attacked at the same time, would be unable to protect them. Therefore, there is an urgent need to increase national power.... you know what I mean?

"Yes."

"Great. My country needs an excellent golem. I hear your golem is high performance despite being made of scarce materials. I hope so."

"Okay."

Here Jen asked what he was concerned about.

"Uh, I have one question for you, too."

"What is it?

"As for the means of travel...... that, what exists in the Principality of Jags?

"Automobiles, hot air balloons, airships, and guided ships."

There was one word Jen wasn't used to hearing.

"What's a Magic Boat?

"That's what they call ships sailing in magical institutions in general. Didn't you know?

"Yes, I didn't know how to say that"

"Right. Anything else?

"Oh, speaking of which, do you know someone named 'Roadtoss'?

Having heard the words, Rokow revealed a little surprise.

"Oh, I know. As a guest in our country, you are the one who teaches engineering magic in general. Do you know him?"

"No, because I heard you were a master I knew"

"I see, well. If I do this job, I'll see you soon."

He was then guided through the research building by Rokou.

The basement and ground floor are the laboratories, and the second and third floors are residential facilities.

The room to which Jen was given is aligned with the bedroom, living room, toilet, bathroom, washroom and kitchen. It's a bachelor dorm, though, and it's reasonably comfortable.

I couldn't find the magic guide to eavesdropping.

"Was it a little more than the Principality of Mercana"

There is a dining room in a separate building where you eat.

It's a cafeteria system, basically a paid ticket.

If the ticket disappears, you will buy the ticket on your own stomach. Jen received a ticket for 5,000 Tor (about 50,000 yen) for this month.

"It's expensive out there, so most employees eat here."

Rokou, who guided Jen, is also having lunch with Jen.

"Between twelve o'clock and thirteen thirty is the break. Then we'll take him to work."

"Yes."

Working hours are from 8: 30 a.m. to 12: 00 noon, with lunch breaks from 12: 00 to 13: 30 and afternoon hours from 13: 30 to 17: 00. Afterwards, they say it's evening break from 17: 00 to 19: 00, and night work from 19: 00 to 21: 00.

The working hours are nine hours net.

Because of this, they don't do much in this country to say morning and afternoon, they do it on a 24-hour basis.

As for working hours, they are normal, but I wonder if they are long in detention, Jen thought.

Nevertheless, it's definitely easier than the company I used to work for for when it doesn't take long to commute.

But they only have Monday off.

(Well, this is easier considering I've been at work three months in a row)

Jen, originally a workaholic, normally accepted this working environment, although he had some thoughts about it.

That's right, Jen told Rokow that she wanted to relax alone in her room for lunch break and lay down in bed in the bedroom until 13: 30. Hope is the keeper in front of the door.

(I finally came to this continent. It's been a long time... Lordtoss next, I guess)

With that in mind, I seem to have fallen asleep at last,

"Master Jin, it's time for 13: 30."

was Jen awakened by Hope's voice that

"Ah... have you fallen asleep a little..."

Jen rubs her eyes and gets up, washing her face in the washroom.

"Jin, let's go."

Just there came Rokou.

"Take the golem with you, too."

"Yes, I understand"

So Jen and Hope were led to the lab on the ground floor by Rokou.
