(3) Current status of demonic props
From Philomena's point of view, Sigels, fleeing an apostle who knows no one anywhere that makes sense, spent some time strolling through the king's capital.
There were shops in the boulder that were not found in the town of Taro or in the town that had come before, and for Sigel it was possible to walk around in a fresh mood.
The most interesting thing about Siegel was still the Demon Prop Shop.
Demon props stores can be found in other towns, but in Wangdu it is a completely different assortment.
Sigel, who was impressed there first, said, taking the tools in his hand that he wouldn't mind touching.
"After all, there's only Wang Du, and the numbers are completely different."
"More than half of it here is excavated from the ruins."
"Huh? Really!?
Sigel looked at Philomena in surprise when someone was making magic props like Philomena exactly and thought it was the work of those people.
In response to the gaze from Sigel, Philomena nodded and continued.
"Um, unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, you can only make simple things."
That's not about Philomena's own magic prop making arm, it's about the general magician's level.
Moreover, it is suspicious that even Filomena, which can make objects of high level, can make objects of the excavation level of this site.
As such, there is a good reason why the level of demonic prop creation in this world is low.
Demonic props that come out of ancient ruins in the first place are hung with a high level of cover-up.
In order to disarm them and be able to analyze them properly, you have to have high magic arms.
If you are so much of a wizard, there are as many places you can make more money than making magic props and living.
For this reason, even if some people, like Philomena, carry out analyses at the hobby level, few specialize in them.
In addition, many magic props that have been excavated from the ruins, even if they have been found to be magical, do not know what the material is used in the first place.
In this case, the processing of the material itself is also included.
Even if you know it's a specific part of a demon, you can't use it if you don't know how to process it.
Such processing techniques have been lost, and it takes a hell of a lot of time and cost for one to study them from scratch.
In order to get over it, we still need to move on an individual hobby level or on a national basis.
As a country, it is still a trend so far that well-armed wizards have strong opinions about securing in battle and do not break people into magic prop research.
As a matter of fact in the first place, wizards, whether adventurers or armies, are always sought after, and few of them aspire to be less profitable magicians.
As a result, even items that can be easily made are more expensive due to their low number.
"... I see. Normal people would be hesitant to buy this."
Sigel muttered about that when he saw the price attached to the lighting magic fixture, which is considered relatively easy to build.
Even though we can continue to use it all the time as long as we can replenish the magic, things that cost nearly half of our annual income will be out of hand.
Incidentally, the reason the lighting magic props are at such a price is because of the need for hard to get materials.
If you can find inexpensive substitutes for such materials, you'll be out there as much as you want, but it can't be that good and it's at that price.
Sigel looked around at all the magic props on the shelf, but the impression was that they were all still expensive.
"I also know very well that this doesn't make it around to the public."
"Right. At the very least, if inexpensive materials came out, the story would change..."
Philomena also does research of that kind, but it was the current situation that hasn't worked.
Sometimes I find something new every time I go to the ruins, and I can't get around to it.
Just looking at Filomena still shows that the problem of understaffing is huge.
Hearing Philomena's words, Sigel, who was watching the magic props without anything, uttered what he had come up with.
"Nevertheless, is there anyone who can use magic, such as someone who goes into a slum or a criminal?
"Suddenly what. That's the way it is."
Michaela came in the penetration without knowing where to go to get that flow.
No matter how much you can earn, no, that's the kind of job that has taken some of you off the road, and some of you have hit the wall.
It is a natural world for these people to fall into slums or dye their hands in crime.
Even as Sigel, I didn't suddenly talk about anything irrelevant.
"No, don't you think it would be nice to use those people to get results after the state manages them well?
"It should work out so easily...... what, Fee?
It was Michaela trying to argue with Sigel's words, but for some reason I found Filomena face-to-face with the magician's clerk.
When I saw that face, I knew there was something.
Finishing his silent confirmation of intent with the clerk, Filomena looked at Sigel in a way that impressed her.
"Nice, Sigel. Sure, that might make it work."
"What!?
Michaela was surprised by Philomena's words, but Sigel was not surprised, but rather looked strange and tilted her neck.
"As for myself, I wonder why the country didn't come up with this."
"Sure. But criminals are supposed to be responsible for their own crimes. It's normal for no one to think of a way out."
When I heard Filomena say that, Michaela finally had a hazy face, too.
Regardless of who fell into the slam, it was Siegel's suggestion that if he was a criminal, he could commute his sentence, or use his improved life as bait to put people out on the study of magic props.
Having read that properly, Philomena did believe that the hand could be used.
Of course, it is not easy to commute the guilty, so it is necessary to think of a good mechanism, but there is no way at all.
Even for a slum person, there should be as many inviting complaints, such as giving him some research money and being able to get to the top of a new organization if he can get results.
Even if those methods did not work, what the state loses is a small amount of money, which is insignificant compared to the amount in return when it works.
Let Siegel tell you, why didn't you come up with this or something, but in this world the idea of using criminals for brainwork is not the first.
Those who would be sentenced to death would be executed almost immediately, and felons would be subject to manual labour such as mine labour.
In the case of brain labor, it can also be called just eating rice, so I can't think of anything like that inside.
Besides, even if you think about it, it's going to dramatically change the current system, and you rarely get to the top of it.
Whatever that is, Siegel's thoughts do deserve a thought.
Philomena, who thought so, laughed niggardly as she looked at Sigel.
"You do need to take those thoughtful steps to change the status quo."
"Hey, Fee, are you serious?
"I mean it, too. Besides, I'll just suggest it anyway. No, you've got just the right purpose."
Philomena also thought that if the king's messenger came after this anyway, he would have to show his face.
I thought it would be troublesome to meet without any purpose, but thanks to Sigel, the thought could be greatly reduced.
Of course, if the messenger doesn't come like this, he just leaves town like this without meeting the king.
Even if it's a troublesome face to face, if there's even one purpose, it changes my mind.
You spotted Philomena's idea like that, Michaela had a jitty eye.
"You know, Phee. Wouldn't you rather not make a very irresponsible suggestion?
"Why? I just suggest, my nostalgia doesn't hurt at all. Besides, it's up to the country to decide how it works and implement it, right? I'm not going to take responsibility until I decide."
"I hope so."
As for Michaela, I suggested, but at the end of the day, I was concerned that Filomena would be like standing in charge of it.
Of course, the danger (?) enough, but Philomena thinks we just need to get out of the King's Capital before it's decided.
Either way, the Kingdom of Holstadt cannot make unscrupulous demands on Philomena.
If we do that, we will be blamed by other countries at the same time.
It is something that we can do because it is Filomena, who has been active beyond the boundaries of one country.
Philomena does not intend to hate using such powers in order not to be bound to the country herself and to be free.
