Vermillion

85. Development

- A few weeks have passed since the demonic prop rampage accident.

All the windowsills were blown to pieces of wood dust and Kays' house was temporarily exposed to debris, but was being restored to its original condition as the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce had purchased windowsills again.

Some upstairs windows are covered with rain doors and parchment paper, but already, all the windows on the ground floor are fitted with glass.

Why is the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce so generous?

The answer is simple.

Kay and Irene found a new golden tree.

The story goes back right after the accident.

†††

"The chest for Kay is outside"

"Yes."

Living room after cleaning out a piece of glass. Kay, who drops his shoulder and sits at the front, was getting smaller in front of Eileen.

Irene, who took a heavy look at the outburst of demonic props, decided to keep all of Kay's future demonic props outside the house.

Specifically, the terrace upstairs. It's a small chest. Put something there. This would keep the damage under control in the unlikely event of a runoff. At least it should be better than the house being made unscrupulous from the inside.

However, even though it is easy to penetrate - the "NINJA" Eileen standard - leaving valuables on the terrace also has security concerns.

"So for the new chest, I want to set a harmful trap. If you eat it, you won't be satisfied with the five of them..."

"It's been a noisy story..."

Irene speaks with great seriousness and lightness. Kay has a slight hips.

Even if all the windowsills went down, Eileen didn't imitate Kay as tight and scattered, but she was mushy and in a bad mood. All of that emotion was directed at virtual enemies who would be after the chest.

But Kay and the others don't have the ability to create mechanical traps that are practical. After all, magic ceremonies are easier to do, but Eileen's shadow magic has no physical interference, and Kay's wind magic...

"- Let's not. I see a future where the contents of the chest are scattered"

"That's true………………"

Kay did not contest anything.

"The trap, even so, is such that the shock hurts the contents of the fall. A poison needle or something...? Um, I really wish I could curse or something, not just shadow magic (effects). …… ah"

So Eileen hit her knee with a pussy.

"I remember. Let's talk to Vasily's husband."

Vasily-Solokov.

Dylannylen, a buffer city on the border between the Principality and the North. He is a magician with the Gabrilov Chamber of Commerce.

He is also an expert (professional) in cursing and exorcising black-winged birds, who have signed with Death Birds (Prague) and are skilled at manipulating them as demons. Vasily might be able to create some sort of magic trick that curses the thief.

Dylan Nillen is far from Satina, but with Eileen's shadow magic, you can contact her. I decided to make contact, including an ex-post report that I had "arrived safely in Satina".

Bedroom after sunset.

Shadow letters dance on the wall illuminated by the light of the lamp.

"- So, Mr. Vasily, don't you sell curse magic props or something?

'Um, I don't sell that kind of stuff. I'm sorry. "

It's a text conversation (chat) via shadow painting. It is also easy for Kay to understand, thanks mainly to Eileen's interaction in Snowflake (Ruski), but also to Kerstin's simultaneous interpretation in translation magic.

Kay falls asleep in bed and decides what to look like. The window next to the bed was closed with a rain door now that the glass had passed away. I feel cold when the night breeze blows in through the gap......

'The curse is dangerous, and it's easy to buy grudges. I'm trying not to sell it because I'm in danger. "

"If that's the case, I can't say I can't."

"I'm just saying, I'll take your place, but I have a talisman for exorcism. I'll keep it cheap for you guys, but how about that? '

'Heh... I'm interested, let me know more'

An exorcism talisman. A magic item that, by writing and writing, can prevent malicious magical interference.

There are two main types of Talismans: "barrier type" and "permanent type".

The barrier type disables a certain amount of magic damage, and disposables that break when you run out of charged magic.

The perpetual type is a amulet that does not consume magic, but strengthens the magic resistance of the owner itself.

Essentially, the permanent type is considered more expensive and valuable. The Talisman Talisman, the exorcism that Kays brought in from the game world, is a high-performance perpetual type, and with the potential of the original body (avatar), most curses can be disabled (resist) - should have been.

However, in the battle of the northern earth, the curse of weakening (debuff) was cast through the resistance, making it a very difficult feather. Based on this experience, he also wanted to get a barrier Talisman that is disposable but can definitely disable certain curses.

And to hear the story, Vasily's talisman seems to be barrier shaped. The price was also affordable as a magic prop, so we talked about buying it, but the distance to each other was still an issue.

"Can't you have it delivered?"

'It's just a little too far. From Dylan Nillen to Wolvern, we can still figure it out... but I don't have the strength of a demon until Satina. It is imperative that facilities and feeding be provided for the resting of the Herald Raven. "

"Hmm...... can you come all the way to Wolvern? Then I'll talk to the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce branch. Ask them to give you the goods and the money at the branch, then you can put the raven to rest at the branch."

'... not a bad hand, but I'm ashamed, I don't speak the official language. It would be helpful if someone could speak Snowflake...'

"Hey, I know some people like that... I don't know if you need to ask me more..."

At that time, I run a current to Kay, who was watching the conversation.

"- That's it!

"Wow!? What's wrong, Kay? You freak out."

"Irene, I've noticed!" Translation "!

Kay numbs, pointing to Kerstin's shadow lettering swinging on the wall.

"This translation magic! If you combine it with a projector into a simultaneous translator between the Duchy and Snowflake, isn't that where the demand is?

"……… Ah."

Eileen also opened her eyes.

†††

Then, the story went fast.

First Vasily raised his hands in favour. 'That's what I want!'.

He can't get tired of the Gabrilov Chamber of Commerce alone and wants to create connections for the Duchy Chamber of Commerce as well. Probably in this one case, he's going to make a friendship with the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce.

"But isn't it exclusive to the Gabrilov Chamber of Commerce?

As a matter of fact, both Kay and Irene have exclusive agreements with the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce prohibiting them from buying or selling magic equipment that does not go through the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce (except for transfers between individuals). Instead, as long as the contract is respected, you will be able to conveniently handle the materials in the windowsill and magic props at home.

Vasily has a similar contract, I thought. Kay asks,

"Indeed, I am in a good position to call it the exclusive of the Gabrilov Chamber of Commerce. All goods made with the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce (...) are obliged to be bought and sold through the Chamber of Commerce. but when it comes to my personal research and development, it's my discretion. '

And assuming that another organization supports my personal research and development, that's not what the Gabrilov Chamber of Commerce knows - Vasily said. The point is, I left a loophole in the contract. As for Kays, who are attached to the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce for "buying and selling" magic props in general, I thought, "I've been hit" and "Did you have that hand?"

Well, the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce has me well enough, so I'm not going to do any out-of-the-box imitations. I have also received consideration (...) for "transfer between individuals, OK" and I am not dissatisfied with the current situation.

"Mr. Vasily, can you sell a translator?

"Even if it's somewhat expensive, it'll sell. I know a couple of guys who might want 'em.

- What do you want me to talk about? Vasily suggests, for example. Kay and Irene accidentally smile at each other's faces at the merchant soul trickery that passes through the letters.

And Irene, who was given a heartbeat by Vasily, quickly worked on creating the magic prop after the communication ended. After wasting some crystals, it is decided that the magic prop, which allows for the advanced operation of 'interpreter', needs a 'container' commensurate with it. The prototype was completed using a large grain of Labradorite that Kerstin prefers, a quality gem that is rarely used. It is an excellent semi-permanent operation by offering a crystal to replenish the magic.

The next day, when I took it to the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce, this was also highly appreciated.

It seems that the northern lands, where horse thieves are being dominated and the logistics that were lagging behind are being normalized, are becoming as active in commercial activities as they are in reactions. They sell medicines and foodstuffs, especially from the Principality, and the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce seems to be trying to cut into the flow.

However, he said that it was hard to find a credible interpreter when doing business with one another in a major chamber of commerce. A principality familiar with Snowy Plains (Ruski) is rare, and most of the interpreters found are people from Snowy Plains who manipulate a single official language. Naturally, the people of the snowfields are people on the northern earth side, so negotiations could also disadvantage the principality side.

In that regard, Eileen's translator is reliable for the convenience that 'the Spirit does not lie'. It is an extra advantage to compensate for the disadvantage that it cannot be used unless after sunset. If the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce demonstrates its usefulness, other chambers of commerce will also be looking for it. Or it might become used in political settings as well. It definitely had great value in any case.

Furthermore, when Eileen cut out the case of the magician of the suicide bird (Prague) who lives in Vasily-Dylannylen, this was also generally welcomed and he was also acknowledged for giving a prototype of the translator. In the near future, the translator will be operational for the first time - at the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce branch in Wolvern, in Vasily's interaction with the branch members.

Incidentally, the proposal to install a chest dedicated to Kay on the terrace of the house was also accepted in two replies. Artisans are dispatched before sundown and chests are installed promptly. It is fixed with hardware on the floor of the terrace, so you don't have to worry about getting every chest stolen.

The problem is the trap we set up there - but this was solved in an unexpected direction.

"Oh, then shall I make something?

Koo.

I was contacted about the day Kay and the others visited the mansion when they gave away the 'refrigerator' demon props to celebrate the move. Kay made a mistake and smashed all the windows in the house - Koo, who burst into laughter when he heard the revelations about the chest trap, offered to cooperate.

'If the keys aren't used and the chest is destroyed, it feels like it's going to work, okay? I'll make it.'

Kou, who pulled into the mansion's private room, immediately returned with a watery gem (Blue Topaz). One of the bigger parts is the core of the refrigerator, and one of the smaller parts is the trap.

"Our Ice Spirit (Aubine) only accepts Blue Topaz for the magic props... I need you to put this on the lock and gently apply salt water to the inside of the chest. If someone opens the chest by irregular means, he'll be worried about frostbite. '

Thus, when forced to open it, cold air erupted and a chest exploded to be ice pickled. Because it is a type of magic that interferes with physics, it is difficult to resist (resist) even if you have an exorcism talisman compared to the magic of 'fairy' coma and sleep. This means you can safely store your magic props.

By the way, Kay after that.

He did not fail, but worked in the research and development of magic props. Outdoors, of course.

I could hardly grasp the magic and saw several explosion worries, but I lost so much of it that I succeeded in creating an arrow-saver talisman.

Of arrows and projections that fly within a certain range, it is convenient to sort those that strike the owner and deviate from orbit by the wind. Exactly. The "Dragon Scale Throughout" can't prevent full force fire, but a normal bow or a small crossbow opponent will give you ample defense. However, when it is almost disposable, continuously activates the effect and uses up internal magic, the gem (emerald) itself disappears.

Disposable because the means to replenish (charge) magic safely and rapidly could not be established. Once you stop using it before it breaks and leave it in a well-ventilated place, it absorbs the faint magic around you and naturally recovers. but the time it takes to charge to the maximum is a few months.

Some hands charge magic directly to gems (emeralds) - Kay doesn't take responsibility for anything that happens. The Spirit of the Wind is only a whim...

The upper levels of the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce boiled in the newspaper creating this arrow-saver talisman.

Even though the loss of windowpanes was too eggy, Kay was valued in terms of "having enough potential (potential) to cause such a situation." "It was a huge loss, but I'll invest in it in the long run. It was a huge loss," said the upper management of the Chamber of Commerce, who was set to watch growth on an annual basis.

However, I have finished a practical level of magic props faster than I could have imagined. The effects have also been demonstrated in the presence of members of the Chamber of Commerce, including Holland. You can't be unhappy with this.

"……… and that's why I'm asking Kai-kun"

One day, Holland visited the house.

A bag of velods to be removed from the nostalgia. What showed up from the inside - a stunning large emerald, like Kay has never even seen in the game.

That's not one.

What five.

One or two of the mansions are likely to be built with multiple treasures. At that point, Kay was attacked by tension that squeezed cuddly deep in her belly.

"-Order from Sa (...) ru (...). They want a previous prototype and an arrow avoidance talisman with equivalent performance"

"……… five?

"Worst case scenario, one is that you can't do it. Instead, deliver four in the best condition."

…………

Can we waste one of these treasures……?

"Sir, this is definitely a request from the Lordship class."

"I don't know……… nanimosiranai………"

To Eileen's inquiry, somehow Holland shakes his head like a broken doll in one word. He seems to be full of him.

Regardless, there was no way that Kay would have had the option of saying no, and Kay accepted the request with all due respect.

"- Performance is as good as a prototype. That was amazingly high-performance."

It's about the first guy Kay's ever finished. For Kay, or standard performance in the game, it seemed different by this world standard. From what I hear, when it comes to arrow avoidance talismans, the majority of them are crude enough to blast a gust of wind indiscriminately.

"By the way, after the finished product is delivered, three randomly selected and tested. Pass if all those performances meet the demands. They say the other one will be sunny and 'bought'."

"Just for the test, will you crush three treasures like this......?

"Just in case."

If there are no problems with three of the four randomly chosen ones, the remaining performance can also be trusted. Unlike finding defective products from mass-produced products, they take these methods because the aim is to ascertain the skill and credibility of the producer.

"... So Kay, don't get out of hand, I want everything to be at its best. Of course I know you're not out of your hands. [M] Still, I want you to do everything you can to finish it. In case you don't (...) good (...) product (...) something makes you grab it, it will be very bad......!!

Soon he recognised his situation in desperate Holland, and Kay just happened to start experiencing abdominal pain due to tension...

†††

Then, even though he was about to throw up the gelo, Kay managed to complete the talisman.

Fortunately, Emerald delivered five talismans in the best conditions, without wasting a single one. Performance prioritizes solidity so much that it afforded a little more magic than the prototype. I didn't do any adventures.

Eileen and I had restless days for a while. When Holland visited with a full grin, he couldn't stand up for much of the relief.

Kay received a huge reward for not wasting a single emerald because he and Saru were very satisfied. I also felt somewhat forgiven for the windowsill thing. Neither Eileen nor the Chamber of Commerce officials were angry because they were moaning...

And he was also freed from heavy duty, and his days of relaxation began. Came here and became more liberal, and Kay began to indulge in his hobby.

At one point, study the theory and application of witchcraft.

"Eileen, if you suck at wind magic, you're gonna blow up."

"… That's right. It's still new to my memory."

"Mm-hmm. So I thought if we used that explosion, we could build a gun."

There are no guns in this world.

Instead, there is no gunpowder (gunpowder) called Earth. Formulating gunpowder does not cause an explosion due to the intervention of the Spirit of Fire, but instead burns carefully at an awesome high temperature. Due to this nature, gunpowder is mainly used in blacksmiths and alchemy.

"Kay......"

When she heard the word gun, Irene, who was writing, put her pen down with an indescribable face.

"Why…… imitate your identity as a bowman……………"

"No, that's it. I've calculated all the magic I need, but apparently, if I use the same magic, I'd rather use the arrow as a magic prop and punch it in directly than eject a bullet in a blast of wind."

Phew, and Kay fucked.

"I mean, the dragon scale through is stronger than the gun"

"Good for you."

Once again, challenge woodworkers to develop montans and special arrows.

"That's why I dare to plant unstable magic tools -"

"Are you saying that the storm will release after you get into your body!

"That's right. And then the air resistance is activated before it is released."

"Shh, wow! This will further improve the power of the arrows!

"And this is an arrow that controls the part of the whistle by magic props -"

"Oh my God! Enables unprecedented and complex sound combinations!

Irene, Lily and Montan's wife Kiska looked at Kay and Montan, who were excited in the workshop.

And at one point, try to make strange magic items with inspiration.

"Eileen, I don't know about this."

"... what, this... what, this? Towels?"

"I tried to make a towel that was a little drier than normal. It's just winter."

"It's what you make after you use Emerald! Build a blower, put it together and let it dry!

"Ah. Indeed... you've done it"

"I don't mind.... So, what about this one?

"Wind chimes. Bring in the wind and it will ring automatically"

"What's the point!

"No, I was going to apply it to the wind-calling sails......"

"It made more decent sense than I imagined"

etc.

Eileen enjoyed it, too.

Kay definitely had the most fulfilling and soothing days of his life -

"Kai-kun, I got your letter."

Until one day in late autumn, Holland visited.

"…… a letter?

"The sender is Elidoor, the village chief of Vaak Village."

The village of Vaak.

Kay, who used to be a part of the caravan escort, was the village where the Great Bear (Grandurus) was named.

He also stopped on his way back from the northern lands to make sure that the [deep (Abyss)] boundary was approaching, where he gathered materials for the potion and engaged with a horde of ferocious beasts, the Chequer Chequer.

From such a village, a letter.

- I get heartbeat.

I opened it and started reading it with Eileen.

"To Kay, the best hunter in the Principality"

The content was even simpler.

"Outside the village, the Great Forest Lizard (Green Salamandel) came out"

It was addressed to Kay, who wanted to hunt monsters.

"We can't handle it. Please help me."

- It was my first rescue request.
