Magi Craft Meister

64-19 Truth as it stands

The battle by the Golem is oppressing the economy, the Duke said.

And the Prime Minister continues.

"As you know, it takes a lot of budget to manufacture and maintain combat golems. These four principalities are scarce in underground resources and must seek them out of the country."

Half of the state budget disappears when golem-related trade is painstakingly maintained, he said.

"... that's tough"

Both Gaju Tsuga and Fione Fierce had no other words to hang on to, since the struggle could be deduced.

but only Manon was different.

"... I hear rumors that this one can pick good quality Demon Crystals (Magi Crystals), what do you think?

I asked him a question.

This is information I heard when Jen was a technician in the Principality of Jags before he met Rhodotos.

"Such rumors...... oh I guess they are whispered in the Principality of Jags. … absolutely no such fact"

Not to mention the fact that the treasury is moist with it, buying golems from other countries, etc., which is bullshit, the Chancellor affirmed.

And it will be true.

Old man confirmed it in Peeper's Telescope, but he couldn't find a Magic Crystal mine or anything.

Perhaps that would be information on the lies the Principality of Jags has shed to arouse its people, the Chancellor said.

And the King guarantees it too.

"Mm-hmm. It's true that we have to buy golems from other countries, but that's using people's blood taxes."

"It is. If you reduce the golem, the Principality of Jags will ravage the land."

"The Chancellor is right. It's going to put the people at risk, not where they want to be left"

(I see, if you believe that word, the Principality of Norha is not belligerent, is it?)

Fione Fierce couldn't help but pray that the speculation would be won.

"Perhaps the words of the Duke of Norha are true."

The old man listening was somewhat surmising the economic situation of the Principality of Norha with observation by the Peep Peek Telescope (Peeper).

"Utilities are the lowest line. The royal family has no luxury either. It appears in the meal."

The life of the people also looks rather harsh.

Perhaps that would lead to an aggressive attitude towards the Duke Mimaka people at Lake Yato.

"Enough clothing and courtesy, was it?"

Proverbs in the world of your husband (My Lord), no. Story idioms are......

And the old man thought that the story idiom is true in this world.

"Then let me tell you about the Duchy of Jags from us. Prime Minister, please."

"Yes, Your Majesty.... First of all, you get the impression that the country is very belligerent. Even if its purpose is to the east."

"I guess so."

With regard to that, the other two principalities were of the same opinion.

"Depending on what we're grabbing, you mean there's nothing against the royal family in that country. That's from top to bottom. I think this is unusual."

……

One line had heard the same thing in the Kingdom of Mimaka.

"Exactly. Even in my country, there are a certain number of ministers left to express their opinions."

……

After all, both Gaju Tsuga and Fione Fierce thought it might be reasonable to assume that they had brainwashing or similar means.

"And that country seems to be practically nationalizing a country like Mercana, the Pandorian continent. It seems that the four principalities have the greatest national power because of it."

……

Even the Principality of Norha knew the facts.

I got some other info, but that was something I already knew.

So Gaju Tsuga,

"Thank you. Now we have a better understanding of the Principality of Jags."

And thank you,

"In return, I'll give you an update on what we've got."

So I began to talk about information about the Duchy of Jags.

Some of them, I went to the other day, had information on the liberation of brainwashing slaves.

In addition... it was Gaju Tsuga who was worried about talking about this... but he even explained that those who named the 'Revolutionary Party' were fanning it.

"... um, that's..."

The Duke roared as if he could not believe what he had heard, but he must have switched his head immediately,

"No, let's believe it. That's what they're gonna do."

And he seemed to believe me.

"So, Lord Tsuga, do you mean that the influence of the Principality of Jags on the Pandora continent has been swept away?

The Chancellor has made confirmations from another side.

"Yes, probably. At least, there are no remnants of the party as far as we can confirm."

That's what Gaju Tsuga replied.

"Uhm, does that mean that the Principality of Jags has somewhat reduced its power"

The Duke says, the Chancellor,

"Your Majesty, I do not despise this country."

and stabbing nails.

"I know. I'm not stupid enough to set you up here."

Nor did the king seem to have anything to do with his blood.

Then after a couple of exchanges of information, I was supposed to take a break.

The time was around 3pm a little.

Tea time, not necessarily, but drinking wild grass tea as an example.

"No, no, that's quite meaningful today!

Sincerely, Your Majesty.

The King is in a good mood.

"Oh, yes, thank you for being late, but Magistone full of boxes, thank you."

"I'm afraid."

"... seems to ask, how much does that demon stone (Magistone) cost per?

"... Manon?

Gaju Tsuga waved Manon a question from the Prime Minister.

After confirming to Tsuga that Manon was OK, he answered.

"... this time the Demon Stone (Magistone) is... Grade B, so is it about 100 torres per gram?"

The specific gravity of the Demonic Stone (Magistone) is about 4, so 4 grams per cubic centimeter, which is the standard size. In other words, it will be about 4,000 yen for 4,000 torres and Japanese yen.

This time it weighs roughly 40 kilos, so it's worth 4 million torres and about 40 million yen.

By the way, asking and answering the price of a souvenir is not often done courtesy, but this time it can be special, which means Gaju Tsuga gave Manon permission.

"Oh, I see. It's cheaper than I thought."

"Ho, in" Outside "you get Demon Stone (Magistone) for such a consideration!

Both the Chancellor and the Duke were surprised that it was cheaper than they thought.

"… For your information, can you also tell us the price here?

Here Fione Fierce asks the opposite question.

"Oh, right, Prime Minister, what do you say?

"Yes, roughly a hundred times that."

"So much..."

One line worried about the reality of the Principality that the standard magic stone (Magistone) used for the magic guiding equipment cost 40,000 torres per piece, which is not expected to spread to the common people and cannot be used by any royal nobleman.
