The Economics of Prophecy

The day after I discussed it with Craig and the others, I assembled a member of the magic squad in the lab. In the upstairs room are Fulsey, Noel, and Mayteel.

"I want to decide on a plan for the future, on the assumption that the prophecy will appear nearby"

I told the members gathered in the lab.

"Well, it's possible to measure the magic spectrum, so of course not."

"Well, it's too broad."

Fulsey and Noel nodded.

"Hey...... Is it okay if I'm here?

Mathier looked back. There is no Leonardo there. I'm going to the royal palace to report on the finished magic wavelength measuring instrument. Apparently, he reports directly to the King. I was so nervous, I was questioning the Noels yesterday.

It's supposed to be a day when there's no Mathier. I was summoned by Fulsey under the authority of the director of the institute. And Mathilde's concerns are right. Originally, after this discussion, the steps of communicating the results to Maitille and questioning her intentions are reasonable. But now I want to take action a little faster.

By the way, I didn't poke a gap without Leonardo. It is a complete coincidence. As a matter of fact, even if Leonardo were here now, it wouldn't change what I say.

"Consider me an observer role"

"You have a say, but you don't have a decision? Then I won't hesitate to speak."

Mathier said.

"First of all, about this crystal reaction..."

I explained how Alfina was.

"Even though the signals come less often than before, the princess is more affected..."

"So Master Alfina..."

Fulsey and Noel flashed their faces. By the way, not only is Alfina coming to the college today, but she also has an after-school study group. From what I just saw, I was fine. I don't even look like I'm pushing it.

"Don't you mean a bigger omen than ever? Until now, the omens are too small to be perceived as omens at this stage, I would think so."

Mathier said. This means that even the three previous prophecies could have had stages where signals were coming in cycles once a week or once every five days.

"If the cycle is shorter in the future, Alfina will have to take stronger signals..."

"That's a good chance. But there's more to worry about, isn't there?

"... it's a possibility that the disaster itself is massive."

Fulsey responded to Mathier's words.

"... you think the distance has something to do with it later"

Noel said to me he wasn't sure.

"What do you mean?

"The first prophecy is a demonic pulse fluctuation in the west forest. The second is Mount Tuvire. The third is the boundary between the king's capital and the west, isn't it? In this experiment, the attenuation of magic by distance was quite troubling, so I thought..."

"You can't ignore what Noel says."

Mathier said. Her gaze turned north.

"Distance and strength..."

I think about it. Wireless information weakens inversely in proportion to distance. This happens even in a vacuum with no obstacle whatsoever. It is assumed that the information is communicated with the lamp on. Information, that is, the range in which light illuminates, widens as the distance increases. One photon at a time doesn't have to change over distance. It is easy to understand given the area where the lights illuminate when you put a box over the lamp and when you let the room illuminate as it is.

"Like previous catastrophes, we can't directly investigate the causes or take measures..."

Worst. The more dangerous Alfina is, the more important the prophecy becomes.

Calm down, when you're trapped in anxiety, you can't even do what you can. You were going to assume the worst from the start.

"It's not all bad. Fortunately, Nong et al have this. Ellis One."

Fulsey looked at the magic wavelength measuring instrument. Apparently, they've decided on a name. Sure it is. It was developed to examine in greater detail the catastrophe of prophecy, or fluctuations in the demonic vein. In that sense, it can also be said that it preceded.

"So, what exactly?

"Let's sort out the possibilities we have right now"

I set up in front of the tablet. Spit out the information that's in your brain first. There is extremely little memory in the brain, which is used for both memory and thought. The first step is to let the memory spit out to an external storage device, thus opening up the area of the brain to be used for thought.

Make room for thought in your brain.

Spectrum analysis of the current demonic vein.

"How far can you trace past annual wheel records back on Ealis 1"

"The calamity of prophecy comes from demonic pulse fluctuations"

"... utilizing Ealis 1 for screening magic catalysts"

"There's a record of the arrival of a flock of dragons over four hundred years ago."

"Sedation of Imperial Vessel Activity"

"Improving the Magic Conductor Circuit"

"The crystal of prophecy is the ancient dragon's eye, or artifact"

………………

…………

……

Many possibilities line up on stone slabs.

"Let's sort it out. Start by dividing this side-by-side item into information and action"

"What do you mean?

Mathier glanced at me. Even if you don't pay that kind of attention, it's a borderless way to be a well-grounded person.

"For example," The Raid of a Flock of Dragons Four Hundred Years Ago "is information. Meanwhile, [Spectrum Analysis of Current Demonic Veins] is behavior."

I went.

"If you say so, yes."

I divide it into 'actions' and 'information'.

"What matters is action. Next bind this action as a project"

"Hmm. The first is Spectrum Analysis of Demonic Veins."

"I wonder if that will break up with the present and the past"

"And 'Analysis of the Crystal of Prophecy'. … the rest shall be said to be other"

"Analysis of the Crystal of Prophecy"

"Analyze prophecies emanating from crystals as magic spectrum"

"Investigation of the harmfulness of crystal magic"

"Record Survey of Ancient Demonic Vessel Disasters"

"Spectrum Analysis of Demonic Veins"

"Spectrum Analysis of Current Demonic Veins"

"Spectrum analysis of the demonic veins of the past"

"Selection, Collection of Ancient Demonic Vein Record Samples"

"Age Identification of Ancient Demonic Vessel Disasters"

"Other"

"Screening Magic Catalysts Using Spectrum"

"Micronization of circuits using magic catalysts"

"Reinforcement of the magic wand by refinement of the circuit"

"Much organised...... BUT"

"Take just one item lined up here, on a yearly basis at least. If I'm bad, I'll swallow the life of a good magician."

The three became subtle faces. The problem is priority. Squeeze when spread out. A list is not a memo.

"Measuring crystals is the top priority, but I can probably run it close. So in the lab, I want you to concentrate on the demonic vein. [The calamity of prophecy stems from demonic pulse fluctuations] because it presupposes"

"In other words, as we proceed with the spectrum analysis of the current demonic vein, we will use the annual wheel to find out how far back we can go. Bye."

"Um, if I can get Ealis-2, which I plan to accommodate in the Demon Guide dorm, I wonder if I can leave it up to you to measure the demonic veins between East and West."

Noel said. Then measurements of the current and past demonic veins can be performed in parallel. Important.

"Hurry..."

"Well, I'm still a court magician apprentice"

Noel strained his chest. At the end of the line of sight is the optical path platform that is about to be made. And there's a neighborhood in sight...

"Please."

"Isn't that far-fetched?

Maityle opened her mouth.

"What do you mean?"

"It's bad for Ricardo, but I value the scourge of prophecy more than the witch princess. Even more so if this disaster is a huge thing that happens in the distance."

"Other" is what Mathier pointed to.

"When disaster strikes, no. It's more powerful than ever to even need to investigate. Even if we can accurately predict the catastrophe of prophecy. If I don't have the strength to fight it, I'll pack it."

Mathier stepped into the problem we were unconsciously avoiding. It's also what she's been asking for since she got here. In the first place, I came here fascinated by magic semiconductors. It has the purpose of rebuilding the Empire's half-disciplined demon-led power.

"It was a disaster four hundred years ago that Ricardo and the others looked into..."

"Oh, oh."

"The Empire has a similar record. Besides, I'm not a hero like you. Just a record of people being ravaged by warcraft. There are several traces of them left in the Empire as ruins. Incidentally, there are also doomed cities on record north of the new realm that Ricardo is after, near the Blood Mountains. I've never seen anyone alive before."

There is no usual invincibility in Mathier's words. I see, it could be. I also believe that the disaster of four hundred years ago was quite widespread.

And the city that Maitir said was doomed. That realm is the border between the present kingdom and the empire. If the scope of the demonic vein is different from that of the present, it is natural for the ancient great nation to place the city.

"… so the improvement of the magic wand should proceed as quickly as possible"

We were silent on Mathilde's words. A magic wand that produces strong spirulitis with far less magic than ever before. That is also what he complained to Craig that it was necessary to open up the realm of the new city.

"I am asking Prince Craig to proceed with negotiations with the Empire"

I went.

"Then I guess I'll have to wait for that. But is that such an easy thing?

Mathilde takes a serious look at me as she asks me what I'm ready for.

……

There is no easy way. It is a huge project that shakes the national balance between the two countries. It's a comparable Issue to the US Soviet negotiations on reducing strategic nuclear weapons in previous lives. Moreover, it is an enhancement, not a reduction.

No matter how much demonic vein disaster has a common purpose......

Power...... The greater the calamity, the negligible the burden of Alfina. Then, worst of all, it will be necessary to beat disaster even forcefully.

Maitille showed the potential dangers of the ancient dragon's eye. Without it, I doubt the crystal mechanism. It turns out that the wavelength of magic has the same properties as light, all the more so now.

Magic is a super-efficient information processing, and both observation and transmission of information are closely related to wavelengths and energy. Naturally, it is also about receiving that information.

However, my understanding of this is unforgivable. The information physics I heard in my last life was too advanced for my crude brain.

"... I can only count on His Royal Highness the King and His Excellency the Grand Duke when it comes to negotiating with the Empire. When we get the results of the crystal measurements, let's try again."

In the end, that's what I said. If you think calmly, you should be the best at the moment. You can't let me, the amateur, get tangled up in the political situation of the kingdom and the empire.

"Well, if you mean you're hitting the hand, you just have to expect it. By the way, I have no objection to the policy regarding the measurement of the demonic vein."

Mathilde let me out of her sight. Fulsey and Noel nodded as well.

◇ ◇

"Ricardo. Um................... Oh, you also wanted His Highness Mathilde."

At the end of the discussion, when I went out to the front door to drop off Mayteel leaving the lab, Alfina, who had just come here, spoke to me.

"Yeah, because Ricardo asked me to help him"

"Really? Eh, I want to go home with you if I can..."

Alfina reluctantly looked at Mathier.

"We're done here. Then think about what you just did."

That's what Mathilde said, he headed for the carriage.

…………

"Have you finished your study group? How are you feeling..."

I spoke to the silent Alfina.

"Ricardo is too worried. You're right."

Alfina gave me a spin in front of me. The sleek hair dances and the skirt spreads flutteringly. Yeah, cuter than usual...... It doesn't look good.

Is the danger of crystals only transient? No, the prophecy transmission has just begun. Besides, I don't know what happens if I stack it up.

It is also believed that massive demonic pulse fluctuations increase the frequency of catastrophes.
