The Economics of Prophecy

A stone veranda illuminated by early summer sunlight. I walk slowly to that end. Shortly after opening the door from the third floor where the work room is located, this place is big enough to throw a party. I'm still not good at that hand thing, but the sight that spreads in front of me isn't bad.

"It's been three years. It's been a long time."

It has been a long time since the demonic bug raids from the mountains of blood became sparse. Now the front line is pushed up to the doomed city, and there are few demon bugs even close to this city.

Apparently it was the biggest beating in the first year. Furthermore, as a result of recording and accumulating experience with radar observations, medium- or small-scale herd raids are predictable.

Of course I can't be alarmed. I saw the walls at the same height. I see a bunch of people patrolling there. The leading knight would be Fabius. No, I suppose I should call you Lord Count Fabius, Commander of the Central Garden Garrison. My spine stretches and I don't think I'm an old man. It's a healthy foothold.

Is it Leonardo who approached Fabius from the other side? Head of the Municipality, Viscount Grinisias independently of the Duke's house. It is in the form of these three people managing this city under the direct royal authority, including Luitzer, who will be the head of the Viscount Aldehyde family and will serve as a compromise with the Empire.

I just said Fabius is the Knights, Leonardo is the Chancellery, and Luiza is the go-to guy from Bertoldo. Well, it helps because it's accommodating for you. Because the city's protagonists are moving to commercial activities.

Within the three gates built on the walls, the South Gate, which connects to the river port, carries loads of cereals and other items brought in from the Great River. On the other side of the North Gate, horse dragon cars from the Empire carry heavy minerals and more.

Together, it's the largest warehouse in the city. Central Garden branches such as Kenwell, Dalgan, Tritt, and Belmini line the boulevard that leads to the warehouse group. I am here as branch manager with all the traces of the Great Chamber of Commerce that can no longer be pushed or pressed. By the way, Pulra is located next to it, opposite the convention hall, which was built to hold the city's central square, Forme.

They say that they will eventually use this place as their head office. No one understands the value and role of this place more than they do, but I fear friction with the King's capital. I expect my father to be at the Vinder Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Wangdu.

It's important to add value to a lot of people when this place is crushed. It is the second and third largest institutions in the city that exist for this reason.

One is the convention hall in front of the pulla. Information is at the heart of this city of sales. It will open events such as business talks and a product exhibition for carriages held in Wangdu, and become a center for spreading information as soon as possible.

The other is the University Academy, a research and education institution. It has a huge antenna pointing to the ground at the center of the site. The dean is full-sea and comes and goes here every six months with the Wang Capital. He receives students in turns, both from the Empire and from the Royal College of the Kingdom. It's the heart of magic in the future. By the way, magic can't be called witchcraft or witchcraft.

By the way, Fulsey is now writing a book on magic measurements. He said the person was a plain job for him. In the future, I feel that this book will be hailed as the foundation of all the advances in magic and the units of magic will be full sea.

Noel is also one of the part-time professors at the university, so he often comes here. He claims to be a full-time professor here and a part-time court magician. Looks like she's got a wider face, so she wants me to host something like an academy next time.

And it's the building I'm in right now that's finally about to start moving. Futures market.

Say goodbye to the sight in front of you with the thought of being pulled back by your hair. Because I hear two fornicating women from the workplace. Apparently, the two of them bowled together.

When I enter the top floor of the fourth largest building in this city, the office of the chairman of the Preparatory Committee for the Futures Market, two women confront each other like they pinch my desk. One is Meer, the successor to the Vinder Chamber of Commerce with dark hair stretched to her shoulders. Vinder mesmerizes a human being: honey and sugar and grabs an inexorable product. Through Natalie and Plura, the effect is enormous, especially on women, and in that sense the influence is enormous.

He is also a gastronomic fixer, a hidden eyeball of this city.

Moreover, she is the accountant of Central Garden Corporation, which accounts for more than 30% of the city's commercial activities in the sum of its members, and also participates as an advisor in the operation of the city. Of course, it is essential for the design of this futures market. In the shadows, it is said that it is the supreme power of the city.

... at least better than me. I mean, I'm the least of them.

The other is Her Royal Highness the Princess with pink hair. He is a visiting professor at the University and Consul of the Central Garden Empire. It is a match that can never be done for this city, which is a relay point between the kingdom and the empire.

No matter what you think, you're better than me. It is a talent that can never be removed in both international relations and magic.

"I'm sorry, but I need you to shy away from Meer for personal use. Ricardo's meeting with me today."

"His Royal Highness Maityle should have had a dinner meeting with his senior yesterday. Wrap it up in one day."

"Oh, yesterday as an Imperial Consul. I'm a college professor today. I can't help it because it's your job. You're not in a position to be Ricardo's secretary anymore."

"I have something to ask Vinder's senior officer. By the way, he's just a senior officer, so to speak, one of my men."

It hurts my head every time those two are arguing. Especially this past week. Two glances pierce me as I solidify in front of the door.

"Ricardo. I'm the priority, right? The root of the world's magic, the core of this world."

Mathier's stuck with me. Measurements made towards the ground at the university. It is believed that the great book is the center of the planet, more than the magic emanates from the ground.

Between the core of this planet and the surface, there is a layer that hits a mantle that is difficult to pass through magic, and its convection or structure dictates the quality and quantity of magic that reaches the ground. This is combined with the terrain of the mountain range to determine the demonic vein activity. This hypothesis is assumed to be valid from the results of measurements made by university antennas installed towards the ground.

The problem is the ancient dragon eye. This has not yet been verified, but beyond the fact that no magic wavelengths have been observed on earth capable of replenishing purple magic, it is possible that the ancient dragon's eye has received magic directly from the planetary core. It's a magic teleport, so to speak.

And among the ancient dragon's eyes is the crystal of prophecy.

The place where disaster occurs depends on the fluctuation of the demonic pulse. Since the core of this star is a source of magic, it is conceivable to cause some variation in magic or to react to variations in the magic power of the surface. In other words, it is still easy to understand to show the location of future disasters.

The problem is the image of prophecy. If you think about it normally, such as when specific damage footage is shown, it's a prediction of the future. But even if I think about the facts I've learned about magic, it's my idea to tell the boulders it's hard.

Then we have to assume that the statue is created by man. It is my imagination that the magic of the crystal is creating hyperlinks of information.

In other words, a link occurs with magic mediating crystals between a human being at the point where disaster occurs and the user of the crystal of prophecy. That link synthesizes, for example, the sense of the problem that a witch will have and the sight that the local people are seeing. As a result, a statue of disaster emerges.

In other words, what is the image of prophecy? It is made in Alfina's head. Imagine, not a future statue, but a sight is created in which a human being at the position where the devil's pulse fluctuates will suffer a disaster. It also coincides with the fact that the prophecy only shows where man is, and that the place is limited to the kingdom. But not an explanation that can be adapted to all prophecies.

Well, the truth was lost more than the crystal of prophecy broke. There are also possibilities for future predictions of bees, such as involving unknown magic particles that exceed the speed of light, reversing the arrow of time called increased entropy.

Well, research goes on. At the very least, I want to make sure that the next place where the demonic pulse shows great fluctuations is the only place to figure it out.

"It's more efficient to talk about Mathilde where the curator and Noel are also there. Of course I'll be there. Well, seniors. I'm here today about Vinder's successor."

"The heir is Meer, isn't it? I'm such a plain officer, and I'm at the window..."

"Window? Here's my next story. Normally, you'd say it's my kid, but then it's a lot harder, don't you think?

I understand what you're trying to say, the Vinder Chamber of Commerce is at the heart of Central Garden. If through Meer's marriage he has influence over his bad opponents, it involves the floating sink of the newborn city.

Of course, there's no way I can give Meer to a bad opponent. It's out of the question, especially Vinder's financial strength and position.

"Wait a minute. That's not personal. More than that, Ricardo, I'd like to hear about how the world works. of boiled egg theory."

"Developments here will also be important for Mayteer's research. For that reason, seniors, with me about Vinder's future..."

They're all stuck together and stuck with me. I'm really pushy today.

"No, we both need to be a little quieter..."

... uhhh, uhh.

As I tried to stop the two of them, I heard a tall cry from the next room. Look, I'm not telling you.
