The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World’s Aristocrat

Episode IV: Assassins Create Communication Networks

Marha's voice is echoing from a large comm plane.

'That's emotional. Something that took two years to finally complete. The first time Brother Lug told me, I didn't feel like completing it.'

"Sort of. But this completes the communications network that connects all the major locations."

'Yeah, Orna's gonna be invincible. Besides, I'll try to support Brother Lug more than ever. "

It was really long.

There are many obstacles to completing this communications network, and we have solved each and every one of them with guts.

The experiment then receives from Marha the results of Orna's trends and the investigation she was asking for.

Um, the sound quality is perfectly fine.

If you say so, there is a slight lug due to the long transmission distance. But acceptable.

"And is it my fault that I hear a woman I don't know from behind? I also feel like it's pretty beautiful and pointing special emotions at Brother Lug...... hehe, while I'm working so hard for Brother Lug to the point of dying of overwork, Brother Lug is going to be too funny to get more lovers'

The last time I spoke privately, I ended the correspondence.

Scary. When I say what scares me, it's not that I'm angry, but that I hung up without even hearing my excuses in a seriously tired voice.

Next time, let's go see him.

Every time I go to Marha, I pretend to be impotent.

When the communication is over, Nevan is approaching with momentum that is about to bite.

"Oh, you know, is it true from Murteau? It's less than four hundred kilometers from there. Could it be you're making fun of us? There's no such thing as a girl hiding in that box?

"I don't give a shit like that. We've got a voice coming from 400 kilometers away."

Nevan is out of line.

It surpasses anything that can reach the battlefield and connects with the rest of the country.

She can't possibly understand what that means.

The information has freshness.

If you always know what the market is for each city, you can earn a huge fortune by simply flowing goods from right to left. We haven't all been able to do that because it takes time to communicate information, and by the time we buy and deliver the goods, the market will be changing, or we'll be in competition with people thinking about something similar.

However, with this communications network, we will be able to deliver the goods as the market changes. I mean, even monkeys can make money.

Business isn't the only place that has advantages.

In all areas, including politics and the military, we can start moving a few days faster than those that do not have a communications network.

If we could move a few days early, we would always be ahead of the curve.

Those in this world are not connected.

The farther away you are from doing anything, the longer it will take you to communicate information. In the meantime, only this one connects with the rest of the world and moves like a single creature.

The difference is overwhelming a few times what humans imagine is normal to be connected.

This is a kind of invention that creates and changes the world.

"... if we take full advantage of this, we can even conquer the world."

"I guess I'll do it. But like I said, I'm not willing to imitate you like that. This is just a tool to strengthen my information network."

Somewhat, other than using it for Orna's business, I'm only going to use it as a means of communicating information.

"Um, how can you communicate from such a distance?

"Oh, I was wondering, too. Even if it's that big, two kilometers is the limit, right? How come, all of a sudden, it's two hundred times more amazing?

Tart and Dia seemed to recover faster, not knowing the value of this, than Nevan.

Naturally questionable.

"The one I was using earlier is nonlinear, but this one is wired. It's connected by a line. The signal signals the line. So it can transmit much longer than radio."

"I don't see any lines like that."

It's in the basement.

That's why I spent two years building this network.

"But isn't that scary? If it cuts somewhere, it's over."

"Exactly. So I made something that I couldn't cut. This is the real thing on the line. This guy is connecting these giant comms."

I'll take the communication line out of the [Crane Skin Bag].

"Cool, you're fat. It's thicker than my thighs."

"The part that actually communicates is thin, but the material that protects it is thick. Let me show you how sturdy it is. Try your best to kill this with your knife. I don't mind strengthening it with magic."

"Well, then, I'll try!!

When I held the line tight with both hands, the tart was slashed.

It's a terrific shock, a heavy blow just because it's fortified with magic.

The swinging knife is a special alloy demon sword I've created.

A blow slamming it off, whether it's an iron plate or not.

But......

"Damn, I can't kill you."

"That's the thing. Take even a blow of the Tart enhanced by magic. Besides, I can't break it because it's soft enough to twist and bend like this. I'm burying this guy at least five meters deep underground. Yeah, I can't cut it, and I'm working on something that's okay with cutting it."

"That bothers me. Tell me."

"Critical hubs make each other redundant on two routes, signal from another even if one route runs out"

Murteau and Towahade are the core hubs, and the East and West routes exist.

"Come on, it's important. Some bases are normal."

"Naturally. In all, there are twenty bases with telecoms installed. Everything is said to be a major city in this country."

"Uh, yeah. You mean you can get a voice from that twenty hub to every hub?

"Exactly."

So I describe this as a communications network.

The maximum transmission distance, whether originally wired or not, is about eighty kilometers.

So at the longest, the distance between bases was limited to about eighty kilometres, which allowed hundreds of kilometres of communication by taking the method of amplifying the signal again and sending it next once the communication reached some base.

Two routes are available, both when the line is cut but also when the base is crushed.

"You're too big a scale. It'll take about two years."

"It's also the size of the scale, but it was also a time-consuming factor that needed to be made in secret. No one can work for you, you need a lot of magic to use dirt magic. I spent 40% of Orna's total assets building this network."

"Oh, you know, when I say 40% of Orna, you can buy as light as a castle around there, right?

"I'm not talking about the castle around here, I'm spending twice as much as Tart imagined."

He gets me a dirty job, and yet he doesn't have a strong mouth for magic, and he blows the price he didn't even have.

The telephone lines, the devices, even though I made them, most of this money blew up, labor costs and the backing to get the Powers to close their eyes.

"Eh, that's a hell of a lot of money, isn't it?"

"It's a hell of a lot of money, but no problem. In two months, we'll have more than a complete communications network."

This is not a hopeful observation, it hits the bottom number that at least that can be done.

Estimates said I could make more money.

This much easier if only Orna can communicate in real time.

"... often, I was tempted to tell you that. Romarung will destroy one or two of the cities if he wants to get it."

"Nevan doesn't exercise his powers, and he'll think I deserve more than that. Wouldn't you like to see anything more?

"Hehe, I mean a chicken that lays golden eggs...... ok, let's keep this on my chest. I really don't get tired of being next to you."

Nevan laughs.

Then the bumps and I started to figure out how to make the most of this communication network.

"And then I was wondering, you just advised us flying wirelessly from here, didn't you? Could this be, like, wired information from another base to this point and wirelessly communicable to a child?

"I'm sorry. Exactly. I can do the opposite. It's about 100 meters from the machine, but I can send the information I received from the machine to another location."

I didn't expect Dia to notice. I let them have both wired and wireless functions, to operate like that.

By using a large wired center and sending information simultaneously to a nearby radio subsystem, you can receive communications without having to be based separately, and vice versa.

This mechanism is the same as my cell phone in the world.

Sometimes it's convenient to do so, but not to disclose the location of the communications aircraft to the intelligence agents at each location.

They were given only child machines, and the very existence of the parent aircraft was kept secret, and they didn't tell me I had developed it, and it was described as an excavated artifact.

Their perception is just that a child machine can be used at a specific location to communicate to all locations. I don't even know about the parent aircraft.

It wouldn't be a bigger problem if you thought the other one was an artifact where you were betrayed, and if it was the child machine that was taken away, you could do anything about it.

Intelligence officers are mindful, though they are choosing someone they can trust.

"Huh, it's amazing"

"So from now on, always keep that comms machine. As long as you have it, you can get a voice from anywhere in many cities. And then, even if you're not there when you're communicating, you can hear a day's worth of communication later."

"Yes, I'll take care of it"

"Damn, don't lose it."

"I'll never let you go."

The three of them hold the children of the comms machine as if it mattered.

I'll have to teach you how to use it later.

Channels are available when communicating, and channels are used separately by application.

Their machine was only supposed to receive channels that I would use privately.

"Well, that concludes the experiment. Shall we go home?"

"Oh, I'm going home with a hang glider."

"I'll do the same. Anyway, if you want to use it on your way home, you don't have to take it home."

"Whatever you want."

I think I liked the hang glider so much.

Drop off the two of you flying off.

Doing so, the child machine I own rang.

That channel is used by intelligence agents using Wang Du's stronghold.

Finish listening to the report.

"Um, Master Lug, you look so scared"

The tart that saw me was frightened.

"I'm sorry, I've got a little bad news.... The communications network just helped. Three more days, it might have been too late to get information. Noble jealousy is indescribable and ugly"

Again, real-time information is strong.

This investment was not wrong.

Shall I take advantage of what I learned quickly and let it strike me by surprise?

With the speed that the Kings of the Capital can't even imagine.
