"Hey, Ai. Can't you find any other white dogs, chaps?"If you want to turn iron into silver, you'd better have a few more, wouldn't you?I hope you don't mind breeding, but if there's another herd, why don't you bring them back? "
Even with the flaws in the magic equipment market, I continued to work as usual.
While overseeing the construction work going on everywhere, I was reading reports from Orient and New Barca.
Among them, I was still curious about Eun.
I'm concerned about just a little change in what we make ourselves.
It came to my mind many times when I thought about En so much every day.
I wonder if I can get more Els.
Twenty-four white dogs were brought back to the peak in the winter.
I'm converting iron into silver as we breed them in the new city of Barca.
It's working in itself, but it doesn't seem very good in terms of efficiency.
Because there was only a limited number of times that magic could be used.
There was nothing I could do about it, beyond the limited amount of magic power per head.
When Arthur first caught Tallow, a white dog, he took the trouble to use new iron to make silver.
Build up your iron with a blast furnace made from a special material called Flame Ore.
I took measures to use silver smelting on the Tallow series after turning it into a slightly unusual steel called Vulcan Steel.
It seems that this is because you can get more silver with a single sorcery by using silver alchemy after forging into steel rather than just from iron ore.
Perhaps by removing impurities, we can get high-purity silver.
Even if I tried to imitate it, I couldn't make a blast furnace without flame ore.
We managed to use hardened bricks to make a furnace capable of producing higher temperatures than ever before, but it was still an efficient defeat compared to Vulcania.
Therefore, I thought that I could at least increase the number of Elle's and speed up the production of silver, as I was unlikely to be able to beat the purity of the metal.
"Dog people have a period of estrus.They don't have to reproduce at any time like humans do, so they need to breed with time in mind. ”
"... that means it's not always easy to mate, so it's hard to increase?"
“Exactly. And perhaps the White Dog has a longer estrous period than the Black Dog.Breeding can be slower than originally planned. ”
"Well, that's right." That's embarrassing.No, I don't think it's necessary to increase the amount of silver right now. "
“No, it's true that it would have been better to keep breeding as planned.It would be preferable to have a little more of the total amount of encoded issuance. ”
Oh, that's right.
Unusually for Ai, this seemed unexpected.
The number of Elle chicks caught in the winter in Ai should have increased this fall.
However, they said it didn't go as expected.
So far, only one is pregnant, and it hasn't increased yet.
As a result, the rate at which silver was produced was slower than planned.
There are white dogs in Vulcania, but they are only made from tallow, that is, only males.
It seems that the mother uses a black dog female, but it seems that the time of year when she can reproduce in black and white is different.
It looks like Ai didn't even know about all the new information he didn't know before.
(What? Do you want to increase the number of those dogs?)
(Hmm? That's right, Norn. Well, that's unusual.I can't believe you're getting caught up in this kind of talk.)
When I was discussing that with Ai, my thoughts flowed through my head.
It's from Norn.
Norn, who is assimilated to my blood, has spoken to Ai.
This may not be much.
I don't think Norn would be interested in Elle's breeding, but what's the matter?
(If you want to increase the number of white dogs, you want to increase the number of people who can use iron to turn it into silver.Then there's another way.)
(Oh, is that so? What are you going to do?)
(I mentioned the doll there earlier, but it is difficult to increase it because the time of breeding of the dog is decided.Then we can just have a chat with someone who will reproduce anytime.)
(Hmm, you're talking about the black dog guy?Certainly, Vulcanian studies show that Black Dogs are easier to increase because they are a little earlier in the breeding season, but we haven't found Black Dogs in the East.Isn't that why it's difficult?)
(What are you talking about? You don't have to have a black dog.You just have to breed with people everywhere.)
(... what? With humans? What are you talking about, Norn?There's no way humans and dogs can make children.)
(Come on. What are you really talking about, Alphonse?You surround your house with people who draw the blood of the Beastmen's descendants.Their ancestors are dogs and cats too, so if you think about making a child, you can make one.)
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Is that true?
No, I'm sure that's what I've heard from Norn before.
There was a Beastman in the land called the Demon Continent, which crossed the sea further in the Eastern World.
I felt like it was a bipedal beast.
Among those who found the beastman on the demon continent, there were some people with very unusual thoughts, and it seemed that there was a child between them and the furry beast who was walking on two legs.
That's why I repeated over and over again that those born between beasts and humans were making more humans and children.
As a result, a person who inherited some of the characteristics of the Beastman called the descendants of the mixed race with the Beastman appeared in his head, his ears and buttocks, and his tail.
Metia and Yuri created Beasting magic, but it wasn't the magic of becoming a Beastman, it was the magic of approaching the descendants of a mixed race of Beastmen.
I mean, here's what Norn wants to say.
The Dogman is like the Beastman found on the demon continent, so you should be able to have children with humans.
And maybe they can use silver alchemy, according to the story.
Are you kidding me?
I had no idea that such a monster was a Beastman.
What should I do?
Does anyone want to mate with that person?
Norn told me something I didn't expect, and it hardened for a while.
