The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

"How's that?

"... that's amazing"

Once he returned the raised face, Kota stared at the deed so much that a hole had been drilled. A deed glowing green in the dark, I see. It is' magic '.

"The ink on the deed is a special ink made by refining the powder in this bottle. If you put that under the sun, that's how it glows when it gets dark."

Paints that glow in the dark, paints called nocturnal or fluorescent paints themselves, have existed for a relatively long time, whatever their type and detailed classification, can be roughly divided into two parts. The type that contains a luminescent substance in the paint itself, or a substance that stimulates it, and glows itself.

"… light storage paint, is it"

It has the properties of storing light in the paint itself, and is a light storage type that gradually emits that light.

"I don't have a technician, so I don't know how hard it is."

I just let him make it because it was going to be 'Meshi's Tane' or something.

"Doya? This' magic powder '...... you want it?

"... Yep. I do think it would be a great invention to have in anti-counterfeiting technology. It's just a question of... how long should the sun shine?"

I finally glow for a minute after sun-drying it all day, then I won't talk about it.

"Coata, for example. What if I put that deed in my bid?

"Yes."

"Really, take the deed out of the bid after shopping and give it to the seller. If the seller puts his hand round the sun and peeks, he'll see it glowing."

"... I see"

"The light itself gets a little weak, but I compare the two deeds side by side like you did earlier, don't think it's any quicker than you say? I can do it in one piece."

It is a matter of reason.

"What about this raw material, by the way?

"That's not true, trade secrets or"

"So... aren't these 'magic powder' ingredients called 'suspicious objects'?

"... yourself, what are you talking about?

The luminescent material itself is not so rare. In ancient China, a type of fluorescent stone called "Dawn Pearl," which was delighted as a gift, is famous, and even fluorescent, the source of fluorescent stone in the first place, glows.

"... you're putting them in circulation, right? It's what people have at hand. You can't mix suspicious or weird things."

However, there is one thing that comes to mind as a luminescent material for Kota, a modern Japanese. It's radioactive material. I'm not sure if such a thing is in this continent of Orkena, but I don't need to step on the tiger's tail in vain. Stay away from the prince danger, is.

"... what, so faithful? Nothing. The devil sold me my soul.

"The powder of the 'demon' method, what is it?

"... you're a pain in the ass. Well, ae. I can't tell you what it is, but it's nothing suspicious, is it? Even in Solvania, it's so delicious."

"... something delicious?

"Seya. Maybe even Terra can take it? It's not just delicious. If a man did it, he'd be 'fine'... in trouble?

Carlos I smile nasty with Niyaniya when I say that. I mean, it sucks, but the original face is just a man's face, and the face doesn't look inferior either.

"... it's still daylight, isn't it?

"What? Did I just say," I'm fine "? Hmm? Coata, what are you imagining?

The way it intertwines is the old man in the neighborhood.

"... that's enough"

In the meantime, Kouta turns on the food and talks. If your son says he won't come near the danger, he won't.

"Hmm? Are you curious?

"Yeah. The point is, anything's fine if it's not suspicious."

If it's in people's mouths, well, I guess it's no problem.

"Oh well. Are you sure this is the real deal?

Say so.

"... come on. This magic powder... how much will you buy?

"... please refrain, Your Majesty"

Hit back, no time.

"... what?

"I think this' magic powder 'is a great thing... please don't"

Smiling, Carlos I unwittingly admire the appearance of such a Hota. It also opened its mouth for a moment, as if it were a machine gun.

"Hey, why not! Think about yourself? Yeah, this! The deed's glowing, huh? Counterfeiting, can you see through in one shot? Don't you want it!

"Yeah. As much as I can get my hand out of my throat, I want it. By glowing the deed, counterfeiting can be identified in one shot. I want it, of course."

"If I do..."

"If it's" free, "though"

"-!"

"This' magic powder ', as it stands, is the exclusive manufacture and exclusive sale of one country in the Kingdom of Solvania. All the power to determine prices lies with Your Majesty, in the country you rule. I see Terra is developing steadily, albeit slightly. But it's never a luxurious territory."

Even though we 'pleased' with our economic development, it is still a weak and poor territory on the ground.

"Counterfeiting measures must be taken in full. But that's not why you should use technology. That's very, very much for the kind of money that swings the vault upside down all over Terra and doesn't appear a single piece of copper coin."

It is a matter of cost performance. Perhaps it will be commensurate with the cost, but today's counterfeiting technology can sufficiently counteract it.

"The other thing is, it's a matter of time."

"... time of year?

"As I said earlier, Terra's extradition deed is due to change the drawing entirely in two years. If you want to use this' magic powder ', then. It's also the kind of product that you'll need in the final process,"

Carve the printed wood, comb the paper, and finally print it. I don't need to buy anything right now.

"Then you can buy it in two years. If technology catches up by then, you can buy it relatively inexpensively, and if you're overtaking it, you can buy better things. Terra can't afford to have unwanted inventory right now."

That price is determined when demand and supply match. 'Magic powder' is just 'powder' if no one wants it. Magic is the end.

"... I see. Well, I know what I'm talking about."

He sinks his woken body into the chair again and looks at Kota.

"What if I hadn't caught up with this technology in two years?

"You just have to buy it at that price then. Most importantly, if we had more precise anti-counterfeiting technology by then, we wouldn't have had this conversation."

Deep, deep sigh. Carlos I drops his gaze down as if he were just a little tired.

"... oh my god. Oh, the boulder," The Devil. "

"It's too much."

"Where is it?"

Say that, just smile a little thin.

"... ok. This magic powder, for free. Yeah."

"Really? So..."

――――

"... did, for free? Your Majesty, did you say that for free?

"Soya. Free, free, roja, take it, thief, ya. The same powder in this bottle is found in the basement of the castle. That 'magic powder', Eunbu Coata's Monya"

What do you say? And spread your hands and smile at Nihil just a little more than earlier.

"... what are you thinking?

"Nothing. This magic powder, if you can take as much as you like. Yep."

……

That's not true.

"Just to show you this powder, Your Majesty, you said you made a forged deed. It's more accurate than you can tell at first glance."

It would be a distracting task in this continent of Orkena where there is no convenient technology such as copying. It shouldn't have been a living knowledge, technology, or cost.

"Even that magic powder is. It should have cost and effort to make it. Providing such magic powder for free? Incredible."

"Really? Look, if you think about it like this, yeah. Yan. Coata took the trouble to get me to Solvania. See, a legitimate thank you for that."

"It's too much. It's not fair."

"Don't worry about it. Me and Coata."

"We weren't supposed to get free magic powder, were we?

"Look, let's just get along, huh?

That's what I'm saying, Carlos I give a hand to Coata.

"... that's a little later"

"... disrespect the royal family for anything?

Grabbing the hand I offered, without as much wind as I cared for my mouth, Carlos I shrugged.

"Don't be shy. You want me to tell you the truth? Actually, I'd like to deal with Terra's" Deed of Extradition. "

"Extradition deed,?

"Soya"

There is also a currency in Solvania. The maximum currency is called the 'Solvanian white gold coin', which is the same as the white gold coin circulated in flame, both in terms of material and content, and is of equal value. The current of the Flame Empire period or all the currencies flowing to the continent of Orkena are the same. It's just a design difference if you ask me.

"Solvania also has currency, but no banknotes. It's a lot of business."

"... it must be..."

It's an extradition deed for that.

"So this extradition deed or. I want to make a Solvanian White Gold Currency Extradition Deed."

Doya? and Coata twists her neck to Carlos I, who asks for a response. Honestly, I don't know what that means.

"… please do not hesitate."

There is no such thing as a patent right. You can use it on your own if you want.

"Well. Here, let me do that. Instead, take this magic powder and go home."

"... why?

"Even so, I, the king of Solvania, Yamon. People made it on their own. I was using it - and, you know, dressed it up?

"... something like that, is it?

"Let's see. The royal family is honorable. Until future generations, I won't be the one to tell you," The King with the Idea of Man. "

……

"Well, is this the logic of nobility?

I can only think of the idea of something like that. Whatever it is, it is a child of righteous commoners born between the father of a commercial man and the mother of a part. "The logic of nobility," they say, doesn't pin it.

"... ok. I was wondering if you could make me a deed for the delivery of white gold coins."

"Homma! Boulder Coata, there's only one man I've chosen! I'm fat!

Happily, Carlos I slaps on the shoulders of Bang Bang and Kota.

"It hurts! Don't slap me because I don't mind!

"Right! Let me make it for you, hon.

"Go ahead!"

"You don't have two words for a man!

"There isn't. No, sir. Please quit hitting me!

"Alright! Here you go, Coata. Keep it up! Ah! Let me also use counterfeiting measures. Yeah?

"Help yourself."

"Well, yeah! From now on, even Terra will have our deed!

"That's right. Because counterfeit currency is dangerous. Instead, use it -"

That's it, talk.

"- In terra... out?

"... Sora, let's do that?

Earlier, Nihil grinned.

"The deed I make is more convenient... don't you think?

crooked in nihily and evil.

"Sire!"

"You don't have two words for a man, do you?

"I revoke it! Are you going to crush Terra's economy!

"Crush? I don't like people ~. A strong mon wins. Instead of business, common sense in the world."

"... Huh! But!"

No matter how much the monetary economy develops or how much the distribution network develops, the fundamentals of the economy do not leave the realm of barter. Ten erasers and one manuscript, it's cumbersome to bother looking for someone to exchange them, so everyone is just mediating a currency that 'credits' their value.

"... Come on, Coata"

So what would happen if that 'mediation' were more convenient?

"Find a way out. Keep your head down. 'Please, don't circulate Solvanian extradition deeds,' he said."

If you have two deeds of equal value that link to things of the same value, which on earth would you choose? The answer is simple. I've decided to choose someone more 'convenient'.

"... cry, groan"

of the "snake" tangled in the balance, is the beginning of a counter-attack.
