"Lord Alphonse, I don't want you to see it."How about this magic circle? "
"Ah, congratulations on the new day, Lord Banage."It's nice to be enthusiastic about the magic circle, but why don't you just relax and enjoy the New Year's celebration? ”
"Oh, this is disrespectful. But I can't say that either.The craftsmen who have gained knowledge about the magic circle in this city, not just the clumsy ones, should still be studying.Resting this time now means that the difference between you and the rest of the world will open up. ”
Really? I think Banage-sama is fine because he originally looked up magic characters and had enough knowledge to make a magic bow orient.
"That's not true."Technology is not an explosion.When new technologies are brought in and popularized, they are expected to improve at an accelerated pace.I don't want to be left alone when I'm relaxed. "
The year has begun.
As usual, I'm going to celebrate this day too.
However, it was a little different from previous years.
That means I'm at my home in New Barca.
Previously, he had been visiting a banage mansion in the Orient country to celebrate the New Year.
This has to do with the customs of the United Kingdom of Fontana.
Because knights were in the habit of celebrating the New Year in the presence of the Lord they served.
Banage was not my main character, but he was the most important person in the country and the guarantor of my identity.
But that was before last year.
I became a Protector last year.
Although this is not a member of the legislature, it can be considered as equal to or greater than a member of the legislature because it is in a position to participate in the entire military.
So this year, instead of visiting the Banage Mansion, I decided to spend time at home.
And apart from that, I won't be rude to Banage.
Rather, it is normal in this country.
Just because it's New Year, it's not a common practice to push it into a boss's house, but it's common to spend time with your family slowly.
Well, if you're going out with family, you might come and go.
So I didn't have to go to the banage, and the banage never came to my house.
But the banage is here now.
We came all the way from the Orient to the new city of Barca in the cold.
The goal was in the magic circle.
Apparently, Banage has been studying the magic circle since she took Eye's lecture.
It is said that the magic circle used in the magic bow Orient has been successfully improved, and the results of the demonstration test confirm that the flight range and accuracy have been improved.
However, that didn't seem to satisfy me, and I was wondering if I could create a magic tool that used magic circles besides a magic bow.
Even now, the paper drawn by the newly drawn magic circle is spread out in front of my eyes and I am asking for opinions.
As expected of him, he smiled bitterly.
No matter how much the Orient country was experiencing an unprecedented epidemic of magic props, I didn't think it was that far.
I've seen the fashion of magic items in the other city.
The craftsmen taught by Ai are creating magic props that don't know exactly what they're doing in the spirit of trying to make something.
Anyway, I made a magic tool that depicted the magic circle that I came up with, so I activated it, but it seemed like it was the second most useful magic tool.
From the perspective of the people who live in the city, I would be grateful for magic items that can be useful in life, such as earthen pots.
However, all that was made was an experimental machine that could not be called a prototype.
However, the experimental prototype magic tool still sells very well.
After all, the craftsmen are constantly taking on new challenges.
It takes money to make something new.
If you continue to make magic tools using the materials you have, you will also lose the materials.
Some people use expensive materials and try to make magic tools that no one has ever made, which makes the cash flow worse.
For this reason, many people immediately sold the magic tools they made and cashed them out.
A magic tool that I don't even know if will help me like that has begun to appear on the market.
Normally, there would be no buyer for such a thing.
But this time it wasn't.
Even magic tools that seemed to be of little use were bought.
There is a reason for this.
It was that not all of the applicants were able to take Ai's lecture.
Rather, only a limited number of people were able to receive lectures.
For this reason, even if it was an experimental magic tool, many people thought about buying it and researching it themselves.
In fact, there are some things that are not properly encrypted, and they can also get some kind of information from them.
And the buyer didn't stop there.
The merchants started buying too.
A new magic tool bought by skilled craftsmen.
They are bought even if they are expensive because they are put up for sale.
So, no one knows if it's really useless.
Because it is bought right away before I use it for experimentation.
And not everything was useless.
Certainly, there were some amazing magic items in many of the experiments.
What do you think of a merchant who has heard such a story?
It wouldn't be strange if someone wanted to get their hands on it.
I don't know.
As a merchant, it doesn't really matter if it's useful or not.
Their point of view was whether or not they would make money.
In other words, I was only interested in whether the profit would increase, and the magic tool was a product that would increase the profit.
After all, if they are sold, the artisans will buy the gold without stealing it.
What if we get the magic tool faster than the craftsman we want it for?
The craftsmen who want to study the magic tool will buy it from the merchant.
In other words, it's a resale.
If you buy a piece of experimental magic from an artisan without worrying about its effects, you're guaranteed to make some money.
It was also about the amount that a lot of money would move.
In this way, an unprecedented epidemic broke out in the Orient.
The artisans who wanted to make magic equipment, the merchants who wanted to make money, and the many people who wanted to keep it in their spillage were dominated with enthusiasm.
Are you all right?
Me and Ai were the ones who created it, but I didn't think it would be like this.
However, there is something you can tell from taking a step back from that enthusiasm.
No matter what, we're all a little discouraged.
It would be strange to think that magic tools that were of little use were trading at a higher price than the earthen pot type magic tools that had been sold before.
I hope it doesn't get weird.
I was so worried when I saw the face of the excited banage that I had already met earlier in the New Year.
