"Clear and beautiful...... oh? It looks like the shadow will turn rainbow."
"Oh, this is beautiful"
The civilians had taken the manal crystals placed on their desks as samples and were impressed by their beauty.
They do not seem to have noticed the properties of the manaral crystals because they have no magic.
"Room-on, how many gold coins is this worth?
That sample is about the size of a small dice used for mahjong.
"If this is..."
Room-on looked at the manaral crystals in the hands of the civilians before thinking a little and answering the number of gold coins.
That was a stunning number for a single civilian, and they put the sample gently on their desk with a blue face.
"Oh, so much..."
"I thought I'd give it to my wife, but you're so impossible"
"At this size... gems are horrible"
The civilians stepped back from their desks even though they were in casual, cheeky hands until just now.
I took out my manal crystals. It is a manal crystal previously received from a room-on. This is about the size of a AA battery, so it would be worth a lot.
I glanced at the room on, and I showed her the crystals.
"It's... it's my mother's vision, so the soldier gave me an eye spill along with the gold coins."
In the case of families whose assets are confiscated in a consortium of parents, the soldiers at the scene are given the discretion to miss if they have some property in their purses. Since no soldier or other person would know the value of a manal crystal, it is likely that they missed out on it because it was said to be a trait.
Whatever happened, if I hadn't visited the reception site, the room-on would have tried to run away with as many as three manal crystals of enormous value.
"If you speak lies or lies, you will be severely punished"
When I said that, one of the clerks went in between in a panic.
"Young lady, please wait. What Room-On said is true."
"Mm?"
According to the clerk, when he started working as a city clerk, Room-on excused himself by making it a manal crystal takeaway.
That fact-checking was carried out immediately, and corroboration was also obtained from the soldiers in charge of the reception and from the room-on father, who was in custody, he said.
For once, he gave it to me voluntarily when he told me to "leave my property," and he acquitted me when it came to running away.
"Right. A mother's vision."
"Yes, it was given to my mother by my father..."
Room-on's father is a merchant who deals primarily with mineral resources.
My room-on father, who used to do business and tour all over the continent when he was young, said he had also attempted several break-ins into the Mumshred region.
That hasn't changed since they started setting up chambers of commerce in the city of Nambonan, and they regularly sent their children humans in as spies.
One of the spies acquired Mumshredded Federation officials and succeeded in stealing out three manaral crystals. Moreover, it also grasped the fact that manaral crystals are purified by proprietary techniques.
There is no doubt that if we can steal out that technology, we will gain enormous profits. It would also be easy to bring in technicians if local officials were to be able to acquire them.
He came home in the middle of the day to say that he was a working person and his family was a room-on father who had completely left him alone, but at that time he wanted to share his joy, or he simply wanted to boast of his accomplishments.
"... and my father gave my mother two of those three crystals. I'm going to give it to you because I'm going to be able to make as much as I want..."
The other one was to be decorated in the mansion, he said. You can't put a manal crystal in a merchant hall that just has a lot of people in and out.
Later, the room-on mother, who gave birth to Kohari, died intact due to poor postpartum fatigue.
But shortly before her death, her room-on mother gave up two manal crystals to Kohari, who had just been born room-on.
"... It's also an important mother's shape to me, but for Kohali, it was the only thing my mother gave me. So…"
I didn't know it was such a thoughtful thing, and I used one of the three manal crystals as an arrow material to shred for experimentation.
I pretend to be calm and ask the room-on with my inner hiatus.
"... you know whose crystal this is?
Room-on received a manal crystal from me, and I assured him immediately.
"This is the crystal Kohari received"
I exhaled small to make sure no one noticed. Apparently the crushed one was room-on or decorated in the mansion.
I felt like two of the three were not my mother's shapes anyway, but I stopped putting scratches in there.
"Right...... Okay, I'll forgive you on this."
"... Your generosity hurts"
Room on shows gratitude with knees and fingers on the floor. Civilians sighed cheerfully, and this settled one case.
"Beautiful as a gem..."
I dazzled Kohari's manaral crystals and watched the rainbow shadow fall on the floor.
It is a manal crystal that is only a gem to the civilian population, but can also be described as a strategic resource given its properties regarding magic power.
Although limited, knights will be able to use the magic of the aristocracy. If it can operate well, the force of the army will rise exceptionally.
As the appearance of guns has changed the pattern of war on the planet, I think it is likely that the advent of manaral crystals will move the war on the Elo continent to the next stage.
"You also know my father wanted this place."
In my father's original plan, the repression of the city of Nambonan was still a story ahead. There are a number of reasons for this, but I hear there are two main reasons for this.
The first reason is manal crystals.
Apparently my father had touched manal crystals when he was younger. It's about my father, I would have immediately thought about using this as a weapon.
But at that time, few people possessed manal crystals outside the Mumshredded Federation. Manaral crystals were regarded as a royal jewel of Mumshred, so exports abroad were strictly forbidden.
This is common in all the dynasties of history. The Great Kings of the Mumshred region continued to be attracted to their rainbow glow even as times and tribes changed.
One of the few examples of existence is one that leaked out distracted by the unrest when the dynasty fell.
It will not be an instrument of war because it is a precious gem, I wonder if that is how my father judged it then.
However, the technique of crystallization was passed on from the mumshred, which allowed the manaral crystals to be purified from manaral ore.
That means that nobles without manaral ore are more likely to be pushed into a disadvantaged position in the future. Speaking on Earth in previous life, it would be like a country without oil resources.
Crystallization technology seems to have only been passed on to some cities yet, but we can't put anything back once it's spread.
My father should have had a strong sense of crisis about the future of the Qualdenze family. There were no mines in Qualdenze that could harvest manaral ore.
That's when I jumped in, information that a merchant in the city of Nambonan found a manaral mine.
Should we change our plans to take control of the city of Nambonan and take over the mines? What reason do you wind up when you take it away? How should the control of the city be?
Viscount Galliana leaked one piece of information to his father, who was working on a proposed amendment to the plan. Information that the city of Nambonan is connected to the enemy.
And my father decided to occupy the city of Nambonan, and he woke up the army.
Note that my father tells me to think for myself about the other reason why the plan has been speeded up. One of these days I'm going to be asked for an answer, so I have to think about the answer.
"Mumshred's technology is interesting. If you're an immigrant, we'd like to welcome you in Nambonan or Newnelly."
"I think that's hard. The Mamshred Federation seems to be stable today, so security near the border will be tight"
Room-on spares no information about the current dynasty. He would never have said anything extraneously if he had been a merchant, but now he is a city clerk full of Nambonan love.
You're doing a lot of research.
"Yes, because dealing with mumshreds is a dream for merchants"
Even today, pure white silk textiles from Mamshred are the finest treatments, and ceramics with fine paintings are highly regarded as works of art.
Since there are many other attractive products, it can also be said that I am familiar with the former merchant room-on.
"Hmm, by the way, how did you ever make a deal with Mumshred? There's no way we can make it through Qualdenze, is there?
After the control of the surrounding area, the city of Nambonan had become a de facto abandoned play for my father's plan, but at first it was in a confrontational relationship. You can't just cross the territory of Qualdenze in grandeur.
"When you say a deal, it doesn't mean you can trade well. It's more likely to fail. It's also dangerous on the road..."
Going to the Federation of Mumshredded can be a tough trip.
Sometimes the distance is simply far away because of its location in the southern part of the continent, but the threat of nature holds back the way it goes. There are three major routes to get into the Mumshred region, but none of them are a glimmer.
The route Room-on says was one that crosses the second largest lake on the continent.
"Looks like we were going down the Great River through the Imperial side, going south after entering Evenapis territory and crossing the lake"
The room on gives the place name of the Evenapis territory, the name of the town, etc., while explaining the route of the transaction.
Evenapis has my mother's home, so I've seen a map of the territory several times. That's why I could imagine the route with my head.
"You familiar with that?
"Yes, a lot of people have moved from Evenapis territory to the city of Nambonan in the last year or two, so I had a lot of opportunities to listen to the land"
"... Really?
"Yeah. Evenapis territory must be tough with the Warcraft disaster in the example, right? He said the move to the city of Nambonan was attractive for those with some assets. Migration will be refused in Qualdenze and Silopea territories. It would be unlikely to move to the eastern part of the Empire where heavy taxes would be imposed on it. … because you are also likely to suffer the scourge of war"
Civilians basically spend their lives on the land where they were born and raised, but sometimes move to another land. That is if you are no longer able to live on the land.
All I can say is that the territory of Evenapis was devastated by a continental warcraft disaster that devastated several villages and towns. The Lords, the Evenapis and subordinate knights, have suffered tremendously and the power of domination has weakened.
The inhabitants of Evenapis, who could afford money, were anxious about their weakened lords and began to flee towards another land. Apparently, the base of Evenapis territory was due to its eastern neighborhood, which led to the city of Nambonan through a thinly guarded western side.
Though admired by the Quordenze family, the cities without aristocratic control were probably fascinating.
"I see."
"The city of Nambonan has also become Quordenze territory, and no more immigrants will come from Evenapis territory, will they? Mayor Nambonan is Mr. Wilk."
Civilians are the ones who rule taxes and support the nobility who is the ruler. An imitation that would take it away from you could be a spark of war. If it is between territories in friendship, it will be well dealt with around it.
The Qualdenze and Evenapis are very close. From the eastern aristocracy of the kingdom, he is so close that he is slapped in the pussy in a lump sum with "the three central aristocracies, the Qualdenze of plots, the Evenapis of militants, the Silopea of pocket", etc.
Anyway, I'm the mayor of Nambonan. And since my mother Merley is from the Evenapis family, she should naturally be taken into account.
"Even if the Knights rule the city of Nambonan, it will remain the same. I firmly reject the people who abandoned Evenapis."
The clerk who said that was from the Knight family. A man who does not possess magic, but therefore does not possess parental inheritance.
A child without magic born in a knight's house, the slave ancestors are altered in the path of life by men and women.
In the case of girls, if their appearance is flattering, they will come to New Nelly Castle for service and work with the goal of being seeded from the Lords' clan. In the case of boys, learn and aim on the road to becoming a civilian or martial officer of the Qualdenze family.
I guess he was the former and was desperate to study and get a job.
Civilians from the Knights raise the ratings of their parents by devoting themselves to the Qualdenze family in terms of their affairs. Even a child without magic can be of service to your house.
"It's unacceptable to imitate that and fatten your personal clothes."
Having said that, he is also a civilian boy who came from another knight's house.
My lord, there is a man in the Qualdenze family in front of me, so I guess he's sensitive to stories involving civilian wrongdoing.
Although not conceivable in Japan in the previous life, it is included in the discretion of a civil servant if it is a small bribe, etc. But since the refugee problem in Evenapis would go a long way beyond that discretion, we are appealing for innocence not to be called into question.
Normally, the Quordenze family would lend control of the cities and lands in the territory to the Knights, who would have indirect control.
But as far as the city of Nambonan is concerned, I, the Lords' clan, govern via a civilian organization called the Council. There were several reasons for this.
First and foremost, there are no convenient knights to lend control of the city of Nambonan.
The city of Nambonan has developed to the point of being among the top three in the territory of Qualdenze. The economy is bigger than the city of Evermill, which stopped on the way.
It is the knights who have been loyal to the Qualdenze family for nearly a hundred years who have been given control of the city of Evermill. Giving the pompous knights control of the city of Nambonan is illogical.
Then I wonder if I should give it to some knight who has been loyal for a long time, but then only that family will be special, so this is not good either.
The Knights have roots in the land, and they govern with deeper interaction with the civilians there, so they cannot even be readily repositioned.
Secondly, the knights served only a few days in the Nambonan urban strategy. This will not be enough credit to be entrusted with the control of the city.
For example, a knight who is rampaging around in imperial aristocratic territory with his grandfather can give him some enemy knight ranks on the battlefield to finally gain control of the rough land in the war.
It's just that I've led a lot of troops, and there's no way I can get control of a city full of good things like the city of Nambonan.
As a result, the dominance of the city of Nambonan will float in the universe.
So far I am the head of the city of Nambonan, but the knights think that the dominion of the city of Nambonan is something that will one day turn to the knights.
Civilians of the Qualdenze Army, from the Knights and involved in the Municipality of Nambonan, always think about when the day will come.
If you have a proven track record of making a significant contribution to the Municipality, say, "To my parents' knights, I'd love to have control!," which would be easy to appeal to.
Even if my parents didn't gain control, if I pushed my heartbeat about my previous work, I could leave the army as it was and re-enter the job as a civilian of the ruling knighthood. That's better to get into if you're thinking about payroll.
Whatever it is, it is very important for their life plan to achieve results in a serious and empowered position and to make a better impression from me.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we monitor the area closely and are careful not to allow the civilians of Evenapis to live there. Rest assured."
It's kind of like the Evenapis people treating me like a cockroach or a pest, but I'd have trouble if they didn't look at me that hard.
The current head of the Evenapis family is my mother's grandfather, a painted militant grandfather. I have trouble coming to complain to Newnelly City.
"Oh, please. I don't want to embarrass my mother's home either."
That concludes the conversation.
I resumed my mine inspection, and now I've heard from the miners about the scene.
Civilians told me that I might not have to do that much on a noble inspection, but mine was rare for me, a former Japanese, and it was fun to watch.
Receive wooden planks and brushes from the room on to take note of what you have heard.
"Speaking of which, did the whorehouse have fun?
"What!?
I asked casually, and the room-on wolfed more than I expected. I used to give away a few pieces of silver coins for the whorehouse.
"Were you starting to go to the whorehouse?
I remember you saying that when you gave me the silver coin.
That's why I turned my hand around to take care of the whorehouse maniac.
Room-on answers all the questions about how he responded to my remarks.
"Uh... yes. That...... was very good. Thank you."
It was a sunny good smile. It's not a snack, it's a numbing transmission that I think so from my heart.
"A woman... I thought it was a good thing..."
"Let's agree to that."
With important important future prospects for Kohari, the room-on felt like a shoulder load had come down.
He hustled in a whorehouse to his heart's content.
"Mayor, please say hello to Kohari"
I reply lightly to the room on.
"Rather than worrying unnecessarily, it's time for you to look for your wife, too, okay? You must be old enough."
The vaguely laughed room-on replied, I like a woman with a beautiful heart.
Did you think that if your face was beautiful, you'd sleep with me?
Unfortunately, I can't deny it.
