Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 224: The Virgin and the Copy
"You look so tired.
The next day, as she finished breakfast and walked towards the courtyard, she ran into Ellen. Even today, she is dressed in a sacred garment with gold thread decoration on the Virgin's white space, which is so divine that she feels dazzled.
"Ah... yeah"
But I couldn't help but give it back in the morning. After all, Max Health and Max Stamina are less than one-third lower. It is already a hero.
"What are you doing besides me, what are you doing?"
"I don't know...."
While Ellen murmured, she held her hand against me and began to emit light. Oh, I don't know, but it feels good. Focusing on the Health and Stamina gauges displayed in the corner of your vision, you are recovering the maximum value with considerable momentum. This is it, the miracle of activation I've been given before.
"Thank God."
"If they were normal people, they would have been able to fully recover from their serious injuries."
Really?
It's as alive as an oil bug.
"Would you stop treating it? But thank you."
Fully revived, I honestly expressed my gratitude to Ellen. It will take about half a day to recover from that condition. It will recover gradually if you eat properly and rest, but it is simply painful for your body to stay dorky for half a day.
"Speaking of which, yesterday you had a meeting with a special envoy from the Dragons Mountain Kingdom."
"Oh, what do you think?
The tone seemed to contain a little, so I asked her that, but Ellen shook her head sideways.
"No, not particularly. Since the main followers of their dragon faith are sub-humans such as Lizardman and Lamia, we don't have much of an adolescence. I hope that we respect each other and that, at worst, we will not interfere."
"That seemed serious to me."
"If you're treated like a saint anywhere, you'll be able to get along with us."
"I see. Well, are you all right? I don't think he's thinking of limiting me or Grande's movements."
They just wanted to respect us as we are. I guess we're idols in the right sense for them.
"I hope so... so are you getting ready for your trip?
"Well, I guess that's pretty good. The renovation of the airboards is over, and the people on our side are already starting their training. What about you?
"The selection of personnel is over. Now we're all reading the new scripture and reviewing its teachings."
"I see... is there enough scripture? Not only do we have to read it, but we also have to distribute it.
Whatever it is, if it is to spread new (essentially old) teachings, it should be necessary to widely distribute the scriptures in which they are written. There will also be the question of what to do with the scriptures where the current mainstream teachings are written, and what to do with those who do not follow the new teachings.
"Well, to be honest, it's a little difficult to get the numbers together. The manuscript is also in progress, but there is a limit if it is handwritten. We don't have enough time to print on wood."
Well, I guess so.
Wooden printing seems to be advancing somewhat in this world, but it doesn't seem to be able to produce large volumes of scriptures in just a few weeks. First, we have to make a large amount of wood for printing, and even if wood is made, printing and binding can be quite laborious. Of course, it's still decided much sooner than writing by hand.
"Well, one of the copies I found at the ruins was still in the inventory."
"I mean... it's a valuable book."
Well, well.
Walk technically in one hand to the work cabin in the courtyard, relenting to Ellen as she watches. This is my cabin, which I was given to build in the corner of the courtyard, and I have a variety of benches inside.
"What are you going to do?
"I was wondering if we could mass produce this on the workbench."
"Can you do that?
"I don't know. I'll try."
Open the Golem workbench menu and put a copy into the workbench inventory. Mass paper produced from plant fiber and black ink crafted from coal, coal, oil, etc. are also put into the workbench inventory.
"Mum... roar, my little universe...!
"Kosumo....?
Keep Ellen's suspicious expression for now and focus on item creation. Even if I said focus, I just remembered that it would be added to the Craft Items section. You still don't know how to do the right thing, item creation. It feels like I can do it if I somehow remember it.
"Is there something you're just roaring about?
"Sometimes. Sometimes not."
"What is it?"
Looking at Ellen, who seemed a little awkward, I scrolled through the list of craft items on the Golem workbench to see if they were added.
Copy of the Adolese Scripture Omit Kingdom History 109th edition - Material: ink × 2 paper × 10
"I got it! A copy of the scripture!
"Really?
Ellen stepped out all the way. Ah, it smells good.
"Where is it?
Your red eyes are staring at you from a close range. Oh... that's awkward.
"I was just added to the list. I'm going to mass-produce it now, so just give me a minute."
Book a hundred crafts for now. It seems like it can be done in about three minutes, so it's 300 cents for 100 books. Five hours till it's all done. Isn't it really quick for a book to come out in just three minutes when it's properly bound?
"In the meantime, I've mass produced a hundred copies, so please wait a minute. It takes about three minutes per book."
"Hundreds? Does three minutes a book mean you can make a hundred copies in just five hours?
"That's not how it works."
"... that's an incredible force. It's more powerful in a sense than making food and weapons directly."
"Really...? That might be what they say."
Knowledge is power. And unlike weapons, armor, and money, it's a force that will never be taken away from you as long as you live. And books are one of the best tools for gaining that knowledge. Being able to mass produce this may mean generating a large number of people with power that will never be taken away from them.
"However, if I use my power without thinking, it will threaten the lives of others. The production system that relies on my power alone is also distorted, and I don't think it can be very diverse and should be done."
"That makes sense, too. It's better to use it to compensate for the lack of trouble in the world."
I was able to make the first book while I was talking about it. Take the finished copy out of the Golem workbench and give it to Ellen.
"... it's very easy to read."
"Which one? Oh, sure. It feels like a typeface."
The size and shape of the characters are all available, making it very easy to read. Perfectly typographical, this.
"The date of issuance of the deputy remains the 109th anniversary of Omit Kingdom."
"It's a copy. I'm sorry, but I need you to do something about it manually."
"Yes, it's not that much trouble."
I don't know what to do, but I think it's like adding the date and time of the handwritten reproduction.
"So, you're the only one who can take this out."
I see.
"Five hours from now...."
"No, you don't have to stick around here, do you?
The rest will be made automatically, so we just have to come back and collect it in five hours. In the meantime, you can do other work.
"... don't you like being with me that much?"
"No, not at all. I thought you were busy."
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you dazzle a little bit about where you're going, just take a hundred copies."
That's how the red eyes look up at me from a close range. My plans for today, well, there wasn't anything I had to see. There are some things we have to do in preparation for the expedition, but there are many things we can do in this cabin.
"... okay, let's do the copy work slowly and slowly."
"Yes"
Her cheeks were dyed red slightly and Ellen nodded small. Now, let's clear up the workbench that we don't want to use right now and install it with a table and a bench.
