The Economics of Prophecy

24 Stories: Sage in the First Half of the Brain

"I was hoping you could at least take another day off."

Alfina looks at me worried. We were in front of the stairs in the hallway of the old building of the lab. Three days after his fall, he finally returns to work.

"Somehow, I've had enough rest"

I remind myself of three days. See Alfina? while. I did a handover of work. By the way, "ahem" was the only time then. Anyway, after that, when I got home, I heard I woke up, Meer came running in. Because, of course, they witnessed it.

No, I was already fine the next day. I just couldn't help it because Alfina and Meer were pulled off the siege net together. The two of you who were telling me how to organize my work and share it. At first, anyway, at the end of the day, they were waving at each other. I'm sorry I couldn't manage my boss properly, that's what I'm saying.

I didn't want to.

"Alfina is the one. But I can't..."

"I understand. Ricardo is the one who thinks I'm a little tired..."

We stared at each other. I'm a lot used to calling it Alfina. It's hard to get used to seeing me in Claudia and Luiza, though.

"Okay, here I am"

"Yes."

With the thought of getting my hair pulled back, I dropped off Alfina going up the stairs. Then I head to the room upstairs to do my part.

Honestly, the anxiety hasn't gone away. But I admit my judgment was cloudy. I decided to trust Alfina in a real way. Or I knew it was all I could do. I still doubt I qualify as a partner, but that's all I have to do from now on.

◇ ◇

"You're finally back."

"You just came all the way here to see me."

I told Maityle I was getting ready in the room.

"That's that kid's realm. Well, it was fresh that Ricardo was making a big deal out of him like he was painting a bystander. Maybe when you two..."

By the way, the person Alfina was most alert to was Mathier.

"Did that mean I was cautious as a sick person............ Isn't it too late, Noel?"

I ran off to Noel, who came in late. But Noel looked at me and got tired.

"... if they hit you in the middle of the hallway, you won't be able to get through"

Reminds me of my earlier interaction with Alfina in Noel's words. The stairs were near the old and new communication lines.

"I wonder what kind of interaction that was."

"That's already staring at each other..."

"Let's get started in a hurry. We don't have time."

Noel tries to start reproducing by gesturing. I said. Facts in terminal, quick mouth.

"Well fine, I'm sure we don't have time. Let's get started."

"... before the Empire comes to us, we need to build a single platform."

I nodded as if they had said no. Crane is supposed to come from the Empire. Mainly to efficiently advance mass production of the new magic wand, I still don't know what it is, but I only know that I have to make something drastic.

Preparations for the construction of the future city of Central Garden, named Rear Support Base, have also begun in what is known as the accumulation of materials on the Kingdom side of the Great River.

Is it about February until spring? In fact, we can only hope that the invasion of the Devil Bug will be delayed.

"I tried the idea of miniaturizing the castle hammer and launching it. Noel."

Noel brings something like a small cylinder.

"............... it's amazing how quickly the prototype can get here. Tough."

Mathiel and Noel put a little cylinder on me and a little conical bullet on the table.

All we thought about was the magic of turning down that broken castle hammer and punching it out. Small missiles or guns. Though unforgivable, I wondered if my knowledge of guns from my previous life would help. Just look at this. You're a blow arrow.

"Originally you're a spinning magic guide. When you launch it, there's a lot of waste."

"Hey, don't point it at me"

I cover my face with both hands. However, a metal bullet that flickered out of a small cylinder fell a few centimeters away.

Rotate it, but striking it out is a big difference. I don't know how to change the magic script. Desperate if you think about operating somewhat remotely after firing like helitis.

Mathier and Noel explain. There are no good ingredients.

"Assuming that in the future the research has progressed without any trouble. Maybe we'll make it by summer, just in case. Of course, I'll have Ricardo prepare one or two miracles."

"Still, I think the power is less than the current spiritual flame, and the magic consumed is more than that..."

The anticipation of two rare magicians is harsh.

"Is that the limit even if you use the magic letters that the foundations have already been studied? The other candidates are...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"I don't even know the demon print. I recorded that larvae's back, but the thunder itself came up from the belly, didn't it? I couldn't find anything like that."

"... maybe it's like a nerve, or a muscle strengthening connected to it..."

The larvae we saw on Flying Dragon Mountain felt like they were serializing their power generating organs every syllable. Denki eel or something should have been like that.

"Nerves?"

"In short, that's the circuit in your body. The brain is a collection of its nerves. We exchange information from there..."

"Hin.... Hey, what are you doing all of a sudden? I can tell Master Alfina."

Noel stared at me when I poked Noel in the back of his hand.

"I can't tell you."

Mathilde looks at me with a meaningful gaze.

"... no, that's for explanations now. Uh, it's the back of your hand that Noel got poked at by me. But it was my head, my brain, that decided I got poked."

"I kind of get it though."

I'll explain everything from palm to head with my fingertips.

"I mean, there's a little thunder originally flowing in the organism's body. Like magic flows through magic circuits."

"That sort of thing, thunder strikes must be an application of that"

In fact, there's another thing that can't be explained otherwise. Insect nerves transmit less than a tenth faster than mammals like us. That's enough because you're small. Conversely, at that size, wisdom cannot turn to the big man as a whole, and he should go on the ground.

But that insect warcraft is quick. In that sense, it is likely that the nervous system as well as the airways and exoskeleton are fortified by magic. In other words, the strengthening of the nerves by magic created that thunderbolt in the second place. I think the order of evolution is this way.

In the first place, magic also interacts with qualitative human nerves, as can be seen in the image of crystal prophecies. Switching the switch of the magic conductor circuit also interacts with the human consciousness. A relationship such as interference between information processing circuits can also be considered. The circuit has a basic nature as a circuit, which does not depend on why it is made.

"It's worth thinking about because it could be a lightning strike protection... Given the time, it's more desperate than a little broken hammer."

Mathier said. I just have to nod, too. I don't have time to do this from basic research. Even then, we considered the pattern of the warcraft known to Maythir, but we couldn't find anything that said this.

I'm sorry Alfina is letting me concentrate on this one. But still, I'm sure my mind has more room than ever before. My brain nowadays isn't just a memory device to remember something I shouldn't forget, I can afford to think.

"Mathier and Noel should consider the magic letters as they are. I'll think about it from the side of the magic catalyst."

Fill your head with information. So, think to the limit. Of course, I can't give you an answer for being a genius. So I expect the brain to come up with its own answers.

A dwarf living in my brain is supposed to be smarter than me.

I just have a problem. These little sages are roughly unrealistic players. Money, power, and time.
