Magi Craft Meister

Jen began explaining measures to Ernst II to lower material prices.

"It means that the material is soaring, but I think we need to know the percentage of that price"

"Uhm."

"Now take the Demon Crystal (Magi Crystal) of this country as an example... Dike, explain it to me."

Here Jen waved a role to Dyke.

"Yes. You account for more than two-thirds of transport and mining costs. In time, mining costs will rise to 70%."

"Uhm......"

It would mean that nearly half of the price is for mining.

Dyke had a slight personality and had a good grasp of these figures.

However, Jen makes up for what he couldn't do until he took action.

"There."

Now it's Jen's turn.

"All I can do is lower that mining cost."

Jen said that using the golem can reduce labor costs.

"I'm sure of that, but I'm gonna need some material to do that."

and Reglay Minister of Magic and Technology.

"In other words, we need golems to lower labor costs, and we're going to need materials to prepare golems. So, the price of that material is soaring."

"I understand. So it's a rental."

"Borrow, you mean? But the current situation is that every country is understaffed and the Golem is understaffed in order to rebuild the country scratched by the Magic League."

"Country, right?"

Jen laughed there. Ernst II immediately guessed what the laugh meant.

"And that means to Lord Jin...?

"Yeah, I have as many golems as I can lend you."

"Oh......!

This is the purpose of this visit.

lending cheap golems needed to make up for the shortage of labour, or selling them in instalments, is.

As for Jen, I think either is fine.

"The level is equal to this Hope"

'Equivalent to Hope' here is actually a thirty percent ability, as he says referring to his performance during the demonstration in 'Avalon'.

But still, it is definitely an exceptional ability in today's world.

Mining in the Golem eliminates the need for ventilation in the pit, so a lot of effort will be omitted.

"I can lend you twenty of those, what do you do?

"Sure, please"

Ernst II responded instantly.

"I just want to hear the amount and decide whether you want me to lend it to you or buy it in installments. How much will it be?

"Uh..."

Jen was in a hurry. When they told me that, I forgot to set the amount. As always, it is Jen, who is oblivious to the gold account.

"Per unit, that's 1,000 tokens a month for a loan, 10,000 tokens for a one-year contract. If it's split, it's paid 50 times, 3,000 torres a month."

Reiko answered on Jen's behalf. I hear you contacted me through the Magic Communicator (Manacam).

"Become!... That's cheap"

If a toll is equivalent to roughly ten yen, the rental is 10,000 yen per January, or 100,000 yen per year for annual unit contracts.

In the case of instalments, 30,000 yen per month and 1.5 million yen in 50 instalments.

"Of course, that doesn't mean you can only mine ore"

Because it is a golem made by Jen, it is also easy to carry out administrative tasks.

Everyone saw it around there in a demonstration at "Avalon," so I'm immediately convinced.

In the end, the Finance and General Affairs Ministers also wanted to be referred for consideration, and the conclusions were to be drawn the following day.

Jen's suggestion is not over yet.

"And then there's transport."

"Uhm."

Whether from mines in the former Kingdom of Leonard or from mines in the country, it is the current situation that transport costs are considerable.

"So here's the suggestion. All you have to do is" refine locally. "

"That's true..."

In the case of metals, the efficiency is different between carrying ore and carrying refined metal.

For example, the iron content of "Red Iron Ore", an excellent iron ore, is said to be 70 percent, "Magnetite Ore" is said to be 72 percent, and the average, including other iron ore, is about 65 percent.

In other words, 35 percent of the weight can be considered extra.

When this becomes gold, the content drops a lot.

As an example in Japan, the ore from Kagoshima Prefecture's Rhombori mine contains up to 290 grams of gold per ton and an average of 50 grams.

Because the profitable content is 5 grams per tonne, you can see how much 'else' is in the case of gold.

For this reason, it is desirable to set up a refinery as close as possible to the mining site.

The current situation was that a refinery had been built on the outskirts of the town, a little far from the mines, and it was quite a hassle just to carry the ore that far.

Modern Earth doesn't have to know, and Ars has magic and magic engineering.

Jen said he would lend a more efficient refining magic machine (Magi machine).

"That helps!

In this regard, Jen said he would like to receive a royalty of one percent of the metal refined by each Magi machine.

"Is that all you need?

Ernst II, who made a summary judgment on this one, but on the contrary seems concerned because it is less.

"Yeah, I don't mind. But one more thing. It's a tiny element in the mine, and I want what I want for free."

"Of course you don't mind."

For example, "Hui Silver Mine", a silver ore, often contains antimony, and "Dark Red Silver Mine" is a sulphide mineral of Zubari silver and antimony.

Also, bismuth, which has been discussed in recent years due to its crystalline beauty, can often be picked in this Ars with adamantite.

Jen anticipated that any of these metals would be accepted for use and demand would increase, and wanted to stock them instead of disposing of them as minerals.

"First of all, that went well."

Jen was generous when he returned to the Mansion after finishing negotiations at Miyagi.

"Good luck, Father"

Reiko sipped the tea she had brewed for me, and Jen sighed relievedly.

"Oh, tea's good"

Jen stared at the sky as it fell through the window.

Honestly, I'm not used to the feeling of emptiness with Malika gone.

But little by little, the emotions were returning to normal.

"I haven't forgotten my grief, I'm forgetting my sadness, I guess so"

I'll try to be alone without telling anyone. It's second to none if that line makes sense.

Reiko didn't say anything. She was just quiet and jealous.

"So you can borrow it for a year, look at its grades, and buy it, okay?

At Miyagi, Ernst II had a meeting with the cabinet and decided what to do with the mining golem that Jen would provide.

As a result, we decided to borrow it for a year first, and if we could confirm its usefulness, we would buy it, and if not, we would continue to borrow it or terminate the contract.

Shall I say a reasonably easy decision?

If this had been 400 years ago, when the Empress was in office, she would have bought 20 bodies in summary judgment, but unfortunately Jen now had no track record so far.

On the other hand, the refining magic machine (Magi machine) had no particular problems and Ernst II's decision was upheld.

As a result of this decision, early the following day, support from Jen was decided.
