The Economics of Prophecy

"Hey, Vinder"

"Wow, you're in danger, Noel."

The pen tip went too far with a bounce slapped on the shoulder. The kanji 'field' that was written on the paper was about to become 'A'.

"... gonna make me make something again"

Vigilance was also evident, when Noel saw the field on the paper and the ballpoint pen that wrote it. It looked like some kind of blueprint.

"You can rest assured this is different. I'm sorting things out now."

It's precisely for Noel to make next.

"My back still hurts because you drove me to such a meeting before."

Fulsey said. What is the Great Sage saying? Whatever you think, causality is the opposite.

"The story of the Great Sage explaining the Imperial Warcraft at the Royal Palace Conference has been passed down to the Magic Dorm, but Vinder was also in the dark by way of example."

"People don't like to hear about the leap. I didn't say a word at the meeting."

"At the meeting."

Look at me with my chest stretched out, and Fulsey will be on my face.

"Today's is more like a muddy civilian job."

"Compared to talking secretly at the same table as a prince, grand duke, and prime minister in the royal palace, don't make me look like a civilian for any job"

"Wow, I was a little bit prepared to do something more arrogant."

Noel stepped away from me. Even I wanted to take a step or two from that secret room politics.

Well, thanks to the big frame of national strategy, the next issue is the actual handling of imperial magic. The difficulty isn't the same, but it's a far easier opponent for me.

That's why I'm at the librarian's office, or magic squad base. Meer has been asked to go to discussions with Kenwell and the Knights in an examination of the container standard in the example. The Grand Duke and Alfina should be running in a leatherbelt relationship.

"We'll start with good. Well, there are two main challenges to empire magic."

I wrote [Urgent | Not Urgent] on the letter of the field and [Important | Not Important] on the left. It's called the Eisenhower Matrix. And "horse dragon" for the ascent [urgent and important] in the upper-left corner of the field letter. On its right [not urgent but important] ascent, it wrote "Measures Against Imperial Sorcery itself".

"I see, of course, the existence of the horse dragon as an obvious threat means we have to think about dealing with the very level of magic in the empire that makes it possible."

Fulsey said.

"That's what I mean"

Everyone attaches importance to [urgent and important issues]. The problem is [an important but not urgent one]. Often they are put behind them, causing them to create countless new problems in addition to eventually exacerbating all problems.

A simple 2x2 matrix, but good for ordinary people to sort out complicated situations. Planar expansion is on the human side with low brain capacity. A large array of information, or one-dimensional information, expands into two dimensions. Complex multidimensional information simplifies to two dimensions.

Humans are creatures of visual thought, so two dimensions are fundamental.

"Downstairs? [It's not important, it's not urgent] You just have to ignore the problem."

"Oh, you're right. This shouldn't be a hand. That's a problem. I'm writing to make that clear. By the way, [urgent but unimportant] is best left to people. Anyway, at present, two things are a challenge: dealing with horse dragons, and dealing with the magic of the empire itself. So, the measures against horse dragons are currently in progress. Today's agenda is for imperial magic itself."

"I see what you're saying. Okay, but thanks to you, it's all the more disturbing..."

I hear I'm completely losing Noel's trust. I regret being too familiar with myself to say anything.

"... did you find anything in the part about magic in the cryptographic documents left by the Empire?

I asked Fulsey first. The cipher suggested the presence of something comparable to a horse dragon. Unlike the horse dragon, there is no specific information. Wouldn't Fulsey, an expert in magic, be able to grasp something?

"I am slightly uncomfortable with this word 'sorcery', which was decrypted and translated by the Chancellery. You can read subtly into different terms. Instead of surgery, it flows from the context and the meaning of the word alone, is it a propagation nuance?... Well, I should say," Magic Guide. "

"Is it a magic guide to gold?

Fulsey nodded at Noel's words.

"That's what it looks like as a word meaning. It just doesn't seem like it's about alchemy. Probably not in a broader sense."

"Magic guide..."

"Well, fragmented documents don't tell any more. Then there is no doubt that the magic of the Empire beats the kingdom when it comes to horse dragons and carriages."

"I see, then the magic of the empire may well be distinguished by calling it [the magic guide]. Speaking of magic gold, Noel. I had something to ask you in anticipation of an alchemist."

"Hey, what?

"Wangshui... does a liquid exist to unravel gold?

"I do. Oh, okay. I thought you might be able to use it for processing magic gold. I'm sorry, Royal Water won't dissolve the magic gold."

Noel explains it a little early.

"No, I simply wanted to know if there was royal water. Right, there is? I need to get in touch with Senior D'Argan..."

This made it easier to deal with [urgent and important] issues.

"So, to the point. Noel had something he wanted me to make."

"Here I come. Hey, what?"

"Eh, in a way that's like stretched out these triangular hats. They're three sizes large, small and medium, and I want ten of them in exact shapes."

I wrote a little triangle cone, shaped like a cracker from a party that had been stripped out of its contents.

"Whatever the type and quantity, I can do it because the shape is simple. What do you use it for?

"Simply put, it's the tip of an experimental instrument. I want to handle trace amounts of liquid accurately"

I said. I have to have them made thin and thin, and even though they are small, they have to be shaped. I want to sterilize it at high temperatures because what I do further is what I do.

When it comes to it, it is best made of precisely machined and heat resistant magic gold.

"Yeah. Well, if it's as simple as this, maybe it's not that much trouble"

While Noel says so, he notes down the figures I showed him.

"And then there's the pipette to mount this, and..."

I showed you a diagram that I designed in the image of an experimental apparatus from a previous life. Noel's face grew more and more convulsive.

"One at a time is array, but if there was so much variety..."

"I mean the budget, because the chancellor's got me securing the magic money"

"Don't tell me like I've taken the magic gold from those fields. His Excellency the Prime Minister..."

"Told you. He was masterful at the same table as the Prince, the Chancellor and the Grand Duke."

"Oh, that, by chance. I don't want the curator to tell me I slept there."

"It just so happens, it's never gonna happen."

"And anyway, don't worry, the sponsors are top notch"

"Also, the sight of the seniors, hating"

"Be happy, if you succeed, you'll get an apprenticeship."

"You don't have to take another decade!

I'm asking Plura and Kenwell for a glass relationship. Some apparatus was originally used by Fulsey to create Demonic Paper.

Now are you ready to go back out of the Red Forest? There is no guarantee that this project will work. But it should be better than relying on luck like I happen to find a compound that works on the airbag.

"So, the plan is to go to the Red Forest."

With the bumps, Noel is writing a beautiful copy of my lousy drawings. I said it in the face that Fulsey couldn't wait.

"Yes, we did, we go into the Red Forest based in the Western Observatory. Prince Craig's asking me to put a knight on the escort, but are you sure the curator's coming too? You can wait here for a sample."

"You bet. It's a rare opportunity to go deep into the Red Forest."

I thought your back hurt to get up to the royal palace. Well, in fact, Fulsey's knowledge is important, so it helps.

"By the way, what are you doing?"

"As I said at the beginning, we're going to take measures to deal with imperial sorcery, no, magic guide. It's also in this room..."

I looked over at the black wall surrounding the room. Simply put, it would mean materials that affect magic. From what I've heard from Fulsey, black dyes that have been drilled into the walls are totally lacking in cost and effectiveness.

Yeah, I want people who are familiar with dyes, paint and dye relationships. Was anyone there......

"A lot. Well, it's about that one. It's funny anyway."

"Actual experiments don't work for me. So no, but I'll ask the curator. That's what Noel asked me to do."

"Ugh."

Fulsey turned her attention back to the diagram that Noel had desperately begun to design. Really, you're a kid with a toy in front of you.

"Later, we'll discuss the Bertoldo workshop with the Grand Duke."

I remember a call from Euphilia that arrived today and sighed. Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to Lisaberto, but if it's on schedule, you should be home long enough for us to arrive in the woods.

I need you to give me the souvenirs well.
