The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

It is already evening. Satella was shoving her eyes out, and I wanted to pick up the inn, but I was begged (with cancer) that someone else wanted me to meet her.

Gilles led me to a place like a lonely town factory.

The heat of being able to stand in the building to the sound of slamming iron you hear. Nice - the turning point of a new civilization is something that comes from a place like this.

"Mr. Leroy, I brought him in. This is Mr. Gray Millard, who invented that" hand pump. "

The bearded little old man, as he approached me, gazed around licking (na), looking back,

"Really, this kid devised that magic appliance?

Ask Gilles in the back that.

Magic. Why do people in this world always try to explain everything only in the theory of magic?

"I guarantee that. I mean, you shouldn't be fooled by your appearance. He's much, much older than me. I just realized that I don't like it..."

Don't snag. Neither I nor the young men of the early twenties will pull it off.

"It's Gray Millard. Greetings."

For once, you seem older than me, no matter what. Be polite.

"It's Leroy Roy. If you made that one, that's fine. I need to ask you something."

A middle-aged man with a compelling (sesame) beard with sparkling eyes. Medium surreal.

"I don't mind. Before doing so, let me make a request first. Could you make this for me?

Pass the blueprint, along with Luroy, to Gilles as well. The dissemination of this is essential for the existence of commercial guilds. Rather, it's a job you can do for free.

Gilles and Leroy read the blueprints they received from me in a distracted manner.

We both have a lot of concentration. This Leroy eye, in particular, belongs to a raw (neat) researcher. Then you deserve to be trusted.

"Is this a time-making device?

"Yes, it's called a watch. The first is a pendulum clock. The second one is a mechanical watch."

The most inconvenient thing I've ever felt when I came to this world is the absence of a watch. Until now, the church had set the time for coarseness with the sound of ringing a bell. But of course, it's not accurate, but if I missed it, I couldn't get out. It will be a significant loss of time, such as during future business negotiations.

Besides, the existence of this watch is essential to advance the needle of civilization in earnest. You should at least watch for four or five years to spread the word. I'm on the move for the time being. It would be more efficient to disseminate it now.

"Ko, this is amazing Yikes!!"

Gilles with a reddish face, curling and standing. The importance of this watch to Gilles, the merchant, will not have to be explained.

In contrast, the reactions of the satyrs peeking into Gilles' blueprints, whether they didn't come with a pin, were not good.

"General, is it so important to know the time?

"It would be obvious. How accurately can you measure the time!? How much we merchants wanted this device!"

Gilles responded instantly to Jude's questionable words instead.

"Mr. Gilles is right. Time is for mankind, the supreme grace and the worst enemy. If the device becomes popular, commerce, of course, will transform dramatically into industrial, research, military and private life"

"Yes, there are so many business talks that should never be delayed. Sure, there were magic tools that could record the passage of a certain amount of time, but there was a limited amount of time that could continue to be weighed. As a result, I couldn't set up more than two business meetings a day. If the Alliance adopts this, the business will be renewed"

Judes opening a half mouth with a poker on the excited Gilles. Anyway, I'm gonna let you guys know what that means.

"Hi, Pin and this..."

Le Roy groans bossly. I know because I'm willing to, too, but he's a race that can't (clearly) show strength without interest.

"You don't have to think hard. For example, Mr. Leroy accidentally made the best soup possible. You want to reproduce it, don't you?

"Oh, sure."

"The ingredients are just the same, cutting and salting is great. I'm just not sure how much it boils. If it doesn't boil, the utensils remain stiff, and if it boils too much, it burns and doesn't taste good. At a time like this, why don't we measure the time in advance?

"Yes!! In perfect time, you can boil it!! So this refreshes the common sense of the world everyday!?"

Finally, you got a sense of reality, the cheering satyrs.

In contrast, Luroy puts his arms together and begins to whine (crush) to himself with a bossy feeling of bowing.

After a while, I looked up,

"Lord, who is it?

Leroy, with a face that comes to mind, throws such questionable words.

Didn't I tell you, it's Gray Millard?

"That's not what I meant!"

"Mr. Leroy, it must have been a promise not to pry him more than necessary."

Gilles is also tempted, trying to teach Luroy.

"I know. But this idea, over the years, I can't even imagine fine dust on Nong. It's not just Noon. Maybe it's impossible for anyone in this world!

"No, that's not true. Now, Mr. Gilles had been able to recognize the benefit from a glance at the clock. Still, why didn't you want to make it?

Mr. Gilles had his hand on his shaped jaw, but when he turned to me,

"Is it because you can do it magically?

That's what I replied.

"Yes, that's exactly right. If you can't, humans try to make it. That's what we are and what we do. But it's made of magic. That's why I couldn't try."

"Do you deny magic? You can use magic that powerful?

"No, I won't deny it. I just want you to feel more limited to being magical."

"The limits of magic... you never even thought about it..."

I guess. That's the magic curse that hangs in this world.

"Magic is what magicians use. You don't mind that, do you?

"Yeah, even magic equipment can't handle the basics without a magician"

After a thorough reading of the basic book on magic purchased from Gilles, it became apparent that much of the magic in this world is called magic.

In this world, objects with strange powers are demonic ore (makoshi), such as firestones, which have various effects that are excavated from coal mines (tankoshi), and magic tools (mahougu), which have magical powers.

The magic fixture must be adjusted by the magician with magic at regular intervals. This adjustment is quite challenging and impossible without being a magician first.

There is no way that national governments or commercial guilds would leave such skilled magicians alone. A magician is sucked up by a large organization, and if he is not a large city of a certain size, citizens are not expected to benefit from the magic appliance.

Mr. Gilles, too, is a former nobleman and magician. That's why I can use that magic bag.

"Most of the imperial people remain poor while they remain dependent on profits they cannot enjoy without certain people. The monopoly of wealth by some is directly contrary to the laws of the economic cycle. The point is, it's not healthy."

The fundamentals of the economy are distribution. Gold makes sense for the first time in circulation. If some people and organizations accumulate, the economy stagnates and falls into a vicious circle.

"Wait a minute, suppose you can do the same thing as magic?

"Of course, it can be impossible. For example, the magic bag that Mr. Gilles has. That would be impossible without magic first. Except for a very small part, however, it may even be possible to do something that even magic can't do right now."

"I guess. The same effect cannot be achieved with this' watch 'or with a magical stretch of back. So, are we magicians going to be boxes?

Somewhere, lonely, Gilles asks.

"That's not true. Magic has its limits. But that's because there's a bondage that says you can't enjoy profits without people. But it's probably not the absolute law."

"You think magic equipment could be used for things that can't use magic?

"Yeah, it's all an experiment for that."

The magicians of this world and I are not stupid either. The approach from magic must have come to its full extent. Yet until now, I have not been able to find a way to edit (a) because, in other words, the mere existence of magic is impossible.

But that, too, if combined with science, will change the story. At least, science can do the impossible. Then, when that theory merges with science, it may raise the species Humanity to heights another stage.

And to that end, the development of science in this world can be considered essential.

"Indeed, it is our magician's long-standing dream and thirst."

"Perhaps this watch will be an historic first step in human history. So, Mr. Leroy, I need your help."

Keep your head down deep. Satella and the others lowered it to me.

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuu! Guha -"

Leroy was laughing out loud,

"Hey, you guys, wake up the steel merchants, but get this material together! We'll start building it soon!

All of a sudden, he jumps out loud and gives a bowl roll and goes into the back of the workshop.

Good craftsman. Oh, the root research idiot, he must have the human resources he needs. When things settle down, it might be a pleasure to invite you to our Chamber of Commerce.

"Well, I'll go to the commercial guild now and work out what to do. This is the address of the inn. I'm trying to tell the Admiral."

Blushing with excitement, he gave me a piece of parchment and he jumped out and left. I guess you haven't forgotten about buying rye.

Sighing loudly, we also head to the location of the map written on parchment.
