The Editor Is the Novel’s Extra

There were not only commercial and technical views but also international views at the World Expo.

I knew that crossing the rugged terrain blocked by the eastern side of the Dernier continent, highlands, and mountain ranges would lead to other countries with different customs.

But it turns out that there was a stable route between the east and west of the continent, and an international postal system was established.

However, there was no industry that could absorb the labor force, so there was no mass migration of people, and there seemed to be only the exchange of some international students.

In addition, most of the students were attending Pontilis University, so they had no more encounters.

Pontilis University is an university located an hour's drive from Lundane, and was the highest educational institution in Albion.

"But there are embassies of countries east of the continent near the Royal Circus, but I didn't notice this world because there were no clear boundaries between races."

The image of the Serica crown in the illustration of the guidebook was like a Chinese replacement machine.

However, the hair colors of the employees were colorful, and their appearance did not look like Asians in the Far East.

Although at first glance, the Albion itself felt like a Caucasoid, complete blonde hair was rare, and many people looked the same as those from North Africa or Central Asia.

In other words, it was almost impossible to distinguish nationalities based on differences in appearance in previous world standards.

Is that it?

"It's strange to be curious about this in the midst of magic and blackness, but honestly, I don't know what kind of genes pink and sky blue hair are represented by."

The homogeneity of the world has been revealed not only in people's appearance but also in the level of technological development.

"I don't think there's a country that has that much gap to create colonies and imperialism. With the exception of T-Flume, the resources themselves have no special monopoly in any country.'

T-plum also had limited reserves, and Arthur of the Eight Bridges did not use it as a weapon of economic aggression.

There was no Opium War here as there was no Hundred Years' War.

The rate of self-sufficiency of food was also high, except in the cold countries of the north, due to the rare cold seas and poor harvests.

Funny enough, tea trees grew in the southern island region of Albion, the Kingdom of Forgo, and throughout Meridies.

"Albion is an island country, and it was funny that it had so many excellent vineyards and tea fields, but it wasn't a laughing matter.’

The author was probably really interested in the world where Clay was originally born.

Wouldn't this kind of world be created if we create the world by avoiding the things that cannot be done with reference materials?

It's like a middle school student, but it didn't feel too bad.

At the same time, I felt a sense of concussion as if something had not been eaten properly.

Once, the number of continents where people live is too short. Maybe the bigger world wasn't confident to handle it.'

The huge Sentroom Continent, which had returned to the ruins, was an impossible environment to live in.

Throughout the world, the only continents inhabited were Dernier and Merridis.

Clayo tried to interpret the identity of the sense of dissonance, but the hunchback was not easy because it came without any basis.

"Anyway, I don't think he's a god or an author of this world. Compared to the previous world, you're not even able to take care of a much smaller world, and you're driving me crazy.’

The ship soon reached the dock in central Cologneburg. The dock was decorated separately and even the boards on the floor were new.

When I got off at the dock lined with steamboats and crossed the bridge, I immediately came to the fair.

Starting from the train station, the new boulevard also ended at the entrance to the fair.

The entrance to the fair was a magnificent gate, as if it had doubled the main gate of the Lundane Palace.

Around the entrance, nine spires symbolizing the muse, the child of the goddess, were located high, and among them, the goddess Menemoshine was looking down at the visitors.

Fran inadvertently hit the nail on the head while standing in line to check the ticket.

"Is this a statue conscious of Lundane's role?"

"I don't think so.”

"The statue was showy enough, but it's a stench."

"Fran... there are quite a few people here who speak Albion."

"You don't think you can say the same thing in Brunnenian?”

Clayo laughed without realizing it. In any case, he was always the same person anywhere.

The party that passed the door dispersed according to their respective interests.

In Arthur's case,

"I really wanted to ride that Ferris wheel over there!"

"I got on the internal circulation electric train at the fair." Isiel followed Arthur without a word.

Behind the technology hall of the World Expo was a Ferris wheel that overlooked the entire Cologneburg area, and Arthur seemed to want to ride it that way.

Fran went straight in the direction of the commercial hall. Although he was a theoretical scientist, he was still interested in practical technology.

Then Clayo passed through a rare array of spectators and entered the technician's office.

"It's still less crowded because I bought the tickets in advance.’

The technology museum, which showed the achievements of technological development in this era, was shaped into a c-shaped structure.

The ceiling of the building was made of steel frames and glass, with colorful lights decorating the floor.

The special exhibition hall, which raised the ceiling like a royal palace, wore stained glasses on the ceiling, making rainbow-colored clouds everywhere throughout the sun.

It was a huge spectacle in this era of rare attractions.

It was understandable that there was a line of people who wanted to buy tickets outside the chairman several times.

Clayo paused in the middle of the tech.

There was a meter and a kilogram of energy taken from Carolingian in a hard glass tube that was magically treated.

The 'energy' were alloy bars and lumps that set out unit standards of meters and kilograms.

In front of the glass coffin was a notice saying, "Approval of the production of Carolingian's Big Two More."

In the days when King Etensel was a faithful believer in goddesses, Carolingian was said to be the best technological advanced country on the continent, and the traces were left in the metrology.

Clayo was impressed.

"Anyway, this place will not explode in the distant future."’

In his early teens, when he lived in the previous world, there was an explosion of a Mars rover.

The probe's manufacturer displayed figures in yards, but NASA interpreted it in meters, which caused the probe's entry orbit to reach Mars to be twisted.

At that time, Clayo of the previous world, who had already found out that he had no math brain, laughed, "Even the smartest people in the world working at NASA make that mistake."

It wasn't until more time later that it was a problem caused by the unification of weights and measures.

The metrology, time and longitude of this world were already unified under the same system, just as the train tracks were unified.

The same ether time system and decimal system were used from Albion at the western end of the Dernier Continent to Serica at the eastern end, and the clock tower at Lundane's Capital Defense University was used as the primary meridian.

Like the modern world where he lived before.

'There's already some sort of international organization that's pretty plausible.’

Using trains, telegraphs, and metrology at the same time has brought countries around the world closer.

The Dernier Continental Congress was organized with the aim of creating a convention for the unification of units, but recently it has also become an organization dealing with diplomatic and trade issues.

"God must have paid attention to detail to create a world that has less conflict and conflict in all directions.’

Clayo passed through the cabinet with a metrological circle and crossed the technician's hall.

The most prominent country in the world of technology was the host country, Brunen.

On the other hand, the Albion Pavilion attracted few people because it had no spectacular attractions.

Albion's main submission equipment was made using T-flume components.

Large-scale fan for mines that improve ventilation and lighting of mines, lamps that reduce the risk of explosion by not using gas, and generator models that reduce fuel consumption.

In Albion, the products were already sold or planned to be sold.

In addition, Bitten Steel Company introduced a new alloy made by adding a tiny amount of T-flume to steel.

They were displaying patterns and samples of tracks that did not freeze under the heat magic or buildings that increased durability by using the strengthening magic.

There was no more splendid taste than Brunen, which offered exhibits, large astronomical telescopes, and long-range artillery that would be of considerable interest to experts.

"Melkior is really smart at times like this.’

If there is a war with Brunnen one day, he/she must have decided that there is no need to reveal all the basics of technology at these exhibitions.

Brunen, on the other hand, seemed unwilling to conceal the technical achievements he had made.

In the firearms category, Brunen was said to be the best in the continent.

In the eyes of Clayo, an outsider, the appearance of new weapons was unusual.

Even if the magic ceremony and the way the knights practiced were shared all over the continent, there were subtle differences in the achievement capabilities of each country.

Bruneen has only been unified as a country for decades, and Ether users' skills were jagged because there were no integrated educational institutions such as the Capital Defense University.

As if to reinforce that, he was ahead of Albion in weapons development.

Clattering his tongue, Clay walked out of the technician with his hands behind him like an old man. You don't even know what and how it was made by looking at it more.

There was one reason why I was so diligent.

Make an alibi right away.

There were many Albiones among the visitors and participants, so someone would recognize Clayo or Arthur.

Since he entered Brunnen under the pretext of sightseeing the fair, he needed to show sufficient interest in the event.

Next is the industrial pavilion.

Arriving at the industrial hall, Clayo crept around and bought each item he had noticed in the guidebook.

Spending money taken from the prince was unexpectedly fun, so there was a nasal sound.

"It's best to get rid of the bad money quickly."

It was night before I knew it.

The Cologneburg branch of the De Nege Hotel was in the middle of the newly developed New Town, west of the Breck River.

It was convenient to move from the exhibition hall in less than 20 minutes on foot.

Under the terms of the initial contract, Clay was given a top-class room, the Cologneburg suite.

The suite on the fifth floor of the hotel was an Ardeco-style luxurious and beautiful room with four bedrooms in the middle.

After dinner, the children gathered together in the drawing room.

Fran sat comfortably on the sofa and opened the book she had been reading on the train, and Isiel was working on his and Arthur's swords.

Around that time, a respectful knock on the door left several boxes stacked in the drawing room as tall as Clayo.

Arthur came up to Zulele Clayo and helped him pull the box.

"What did you buy?”

"Well, ma'am."

"What kind of harness is that?"

It had been away all afternoon, so no one knew what Clay had bought at the commercial hall.

Clayo smiled meaningfully and opened the top box as if he were a home shopping host.
