Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill

Episode 10: Finding Talent in Town

"Als, are you still going to town today"

The moment I left the mansion, my father spoke to me.

Apparently after he waves his sword, he's sweating from his face.

"Yes, I will come looking for talented people"

"Right. Actually, I wanted you to find something magically good."

"Is it magic?

"Oh, magic will be the key to the battle ahead. Magic isn't talented, it's useless. I can't use magic properly either. There are a few things the minister can use magic on, but it's not enough yet, so I'd like you to bring me something talented."

Magic.

I don't know much about magic.

My father told me to use it once. In a weird tool, I put red liquid in it and cast a short spell and it activated. A small fireball broke out and flew toward the target.

But then, my father told me, "You don't seem like magic to me," and I haven't been allowed to use it since.

I was quite impressed when the magic was activated, so I'd like to try it again.

Does that mean I didn't have the gift to use magic? If you only used it once, you don't have to bother asking me.

I guess I used magic that didn't feel so talented.

"Okay. I'm going to look for magically talented people."

"I asked for it."

I happily accepted my father's request and left for town with Leeds.

Horses are used on the road to town.

I can't ride, so I'm riding two in a way that Leeds will hold me in.

Reetz has cavalry aptitude s on boulders.

The more I roared at my father, the better I handled horses.

Using a horse, you reach town in about two hours.

I'm going to stay in town for about two days.

"Leeds, I don't know much about magic, so why don't you tell me?

Using my time on the road, I thought Leeds would teach me about magic.

"Is it magic? Do you know the basics?

"Yeah, I used it once. I put red liquid in the weird equipment and when I cast the spell it activated"

"Yes, its weird equipment is called a catalyst, red liquid is called magic water. When you put magic water in the catalyst and cast a spell, magic occurs. At that time, the magic water you put in is consumed."

Catalyst and magic water? Let's remember.

"Originally magic was something that would be used for entertainment because if I did it, the spell would be long and the power would be weak and thought to be unusable in battle. However, the development of catalytic machines has shortened the spell and increased its power, which is now used in warfare. Sounds like you've been spreading explosively within the SomerForce Empire for about a decade now."

"Is that so recent?"

"Yes, even when I was in the mercenary corps, the ancient Ginseng soldier moaned that something terrible had recently been developed and was in trouble."

It hasn't been used in battle for a long time, has it? It was surprising.

"Is magic water to fuel something you can often take?

"Magic water is made by melting stones called magic stones. The magic stone itself is not that uncommon, but the price seems to be soaring due to increased demand, which will cost a lot of money to operate the magic unit"

"Money... the Lovents don't earn that much."

Income is low each year because it is small and there are no specialties in particular. It is the current situation that I am managing to communicate with.

"You don't have to form a unit, because if you have one competent magician, it will change a lot. You should be able to hire about one. Let's find it this time."

"Right."

Then he was rocked by a horse for a while and arrived in town.

The town I visited this time was called Canale.

It is a major town in Canale County.

Surrounded by fine walls, it's a castle city.

There are quite a few houses standing outside the castle as well.

I guess this is happening because we didn't need to defend ourselves because this has been peaceful for a long time.

Naturally the castle was created in an era before the unification of the Samaforce, which seems to be quite ancient and ageing.

In the center of this town stands the Canale County Mayor's house, the Pires house.

I walk in a town outside the castle.

Inside the castle, it can only be put in what is now a stately one.

Well, I'm the lord's son, so I can get in, but there's nothing in the castle for this talent hunt.

The town outside the castle is quite busy. There are also a lot of people.

The whole population is about 50,000.

Seeing all of this is going to drain your eyes considerably. But you don't have to see them all. You only need to look at those dressed as poor.

Talent in this town is likely to be unemployable, assuming it's good.

I invite him to come all the way to Randolph, but many would think he didn't want to come all the way from town to village. The reward can't be that high, either.

So much so that I can only hire something that's in trouble with the money.

If you've lived in a village since the beginning, you'd basically be happy to take it on.

Anyway, the wealthy are likely not to come, so just look at the poor.

"Well, we'll find it"

"Yes."

I took a lice look at the poor people on the street from the top of my horse.

It's not that easy to find.

I found a few good people there, but this time I didn't speak up because the purpose was something highly suited for magicians.

Except if you're as good as Leeds, but if the best is about the late 60, you won't have to hire one.

I take a break because my eyes are tired and then I'm hungry.

Once I got off my horse, I decided to buy something to eat at the market.

When I get to the market,

"That's..."

A man with a bill lowered from his neck is in a cell.

"You're a slave trader..."

Slavery, which once existed on Earth, is real in this world.

But yes or no slaves.

There is resistance when it comes to buying others, but slaves may also have good talent.

I don't have to go out of my way to negotiate to minister, and it's not easy.

The problem is the price.

For once, I possess the money to pay as an advance, but can I buy it with that?

Shall we just take a look?

"Before we eat, let's see the slaves"

"Are you buying slaves?

"I might have some good people"

"Ha, are you there..."

Leeds seemed sorry, but I didn't disagree.

I examine each and every slave in the cage.

Yeah, well, there couldn't be any good people, and when I almost gave up,
