Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Episode 264-The Value of Freedom (4)

“Has the council made a decision yet?”

“I think so. But it’s only a matter of time. There is no way they can withstand imperial pressure.”

Before Eden and Laria negotiated with each other.

Some wizards in the Republic of Laria were trembling with fear. The same was true for Klins, who lamented along with his visiting colleagues.

Because they were not ordinary wizards. They are not wizards who use magic to go to battle or study advanced magic, but magic engineers who want to create various technologies using magic.

After the Great War, their power increased significantly as they were introduced to various magic techniques and technologies that had spread throughout the world, but they were still by no means the mainstream in the magic world.

The mainstream of the magic world are wizards who research magic, including traditional studies, and the majority are practical wizards who assist in battle and life with the magic they have learned.

In the eyes of these people, magical engineers were seen as the next best option for those who did not become elite.

“I think it would be better to be eaten by the empire. Doesn’t the empire still treat magic engineers like us well?”

“Huh, you know that too! That’s not a treat. “I’m just a slave who feeds me well and puts me to sleep!”

Clins was moved and shook his head when his colleague mentioned the empire. This is because they already know some of their colleagues who went over to the empire in advance.

Orca, who clearly recognized the value of magic engineering, wanted to actively use it, and was literally gathering magic engineers from all over.

But when you are treated well, there is a price to pay.

The magic engineers who went over to the Empire had to become machines that produced military items according to instructions from their superiors, rather than conducting personal research.

It was the part itself that had to be achieved by somehow grinding it out within a set deadline and limited resources. And parts that are not performing well can be replaced at any time.

“There is no way. Unless you’re joining an illegal organization, it’s better to be treated well by your family. Rather than being killed for opposing the empire.”

My colleague sighed and shook his head. In fact, options are disappearing as time goes by. Especially when you have a family to support.

In the midst of this, negotiations were carried out between the Laria Council and the Federation’s delegation.

“…Eden? “I heard a rumor, but are they recruiting magic engineers to immigrate from the countryside?”

Afterwards, as his worries increased day by day, Cleanse heard the news that they were planning to take the magic engineers from Eden.

“They say it is a place made up of various races like this country. But they said the main players were elves.”

“There are rumors that the power of a divine being is a real power. “Is it real?”

Clince and other magic engineers were in conflict as they shared information about Eden, which contained a lot of false rumors.

It was good to have one more choice, but the problem was that I didn’t know what kind of place it was. Unlike the Empire, there was no one who had been there first. From their perspective, it was truly unknown land.

“Leaving aside the rumors about evil spirits, isn’t this a force that is hostile to the empire? If you go to a place like that, it’s obvious that you’ll end up being exploited just like the empire. Wouldn’t it be better to go to an empire where you are treated well?”

Some of them even argued that the empire was better.

‘I’m curious about the elves’ studies. It would be nice if I could find out a little more details.’

Still, Klins was one of those who worried until the end. If the conditions were good, there was no reason for him to abandon Eden.

“The elf came to visit. “Wow, they said they wanted to meet us.”

It was then that Leon, who came with the delegation, said he wanted to meet them.

Those who had the slightest will to emigrate did not reject Leon’s request, seeing it as a good opportunity.

“Let’s calm down and go out calmly. “If they see us looking for them, it means we are in a position to ask for more.”

“No problem. “I need to find out properly.”

They wanted to use this opportunity to further secure their position. They decided that if they were going to move to an unfamiliar land, they needed to have that level of security.

“What do you plan to suggest to them? “You can promise them good treatment, such as good pay and high status, but I think they might need another carrot.”

“In fact, persuading them is entirely at my discretion, so as a special task force leader, I cannot say what support I can provide to them without a decision from the general meeting. But…the queen told me to take this with me just in case.”

Leon also prepares in the same way. Leon, who laughed meaningfully at Benert’s words, picked up something that was hanging around his neck.

It wasn’t known to others, but this was a new thing. It is an item that God shrunk and personally gifted to Serenian.

Leon was planning to trick the magic engineers with this flashlight, which creates light on a completely different principle from the glowstone lamp.

“It seems there was some misunderstanding.”

“As far as what can be said to be a misunderstanding…”

“We are in a position where we must all work together from now on, and we do not have superior technology.”

After listening to Leon’s explanation, Serenian laughed bitterly after realizing what kind of illusion he had created for the magic engineers on the way here.

Actually, Leon only told the truth. It is said that the dwarves have a huge machine that uses sunlight as energy to generate infinite power. It is said that in the city of elves there is a lamp that never goes out.

However, the imagination of the magic engineers who had already begun to misunderstand something after seeing the flashlight was running wild.

“There is no problem as long as they do what they are supposed to do.”

Of course, I am grateful for their enthusiasm. Serenian, who ordered them to live in a city in the flowerpot near the river, promised them good treatment and asked them to live together as one in the future.

They were anxious about being subjected to coercive rule, but they felt reassured by the atmosphere of freedom beyond their expectations and accepted Serenian’s proposal.

Good treatment and free atmosphere. Because it was exactly what they wanted.

“This is my first time working with dwarven artisans.”

“This is our first time collaborating with a human wizard. “I know what kind of power magic has, so maybe it can help us solve the problem we couldn’t solve.”

It is common sense that if you are treated well, you will feel a sense of responsibility. The magic engineers, with Klinth as their representative, left their families in the city and headed to where the dwarves were.

Dwarven craftsman Liam led them to a place where there was an unfinished steam engine.

A mission given directly by God. After seeing countless resources falling from the sky and believing that God was real, they felt that they had to succeed in this mission without fail.

“Fuel efficiency can be improved with the Sun Stone brought from the desert clan. But many problems remain. “Durability is a problem, operational efficiency is a problem, and size is also a problem.”

“If you know what the problem is, you can solve it one by one.”

Cleans’ eyes sparkled when he saw the steam engine. Although he is a magic engineer, this was something that a wizard who puts magic first in everything he does could never even imagine.

He could not even know what kind of object would be created if the magic he knew was added to the object that had reached this level even without magic.

‘When the magic steam engine, which borrows the power of magic, is completed, everything that has been blocked may explode at once.’

Seunghyeon looked down at the flower pots and took care of them, as always. He regularly sprayed water in areas that needed rain, and sprinkled small pieces of items he had purchased in advance where there were necessary resources.

In his eyes, he could see the rapidly developing steam engine. As they were of the same branch, the dwarven craftsmen and magic engineers who quickly mastered technology in Eden seemed to get along well.

The result was a magic steam engine that is now almost complete. An item so shocking that a single word from Seunghyeon can bring about great change in the world is being created.

According to his wishes, the object they found and developed on their own was actually different from the steam engine created on Earth. If you don’t have excellent and skilled magical knowledge and abilities, it won’t work.

But the role it will play will not be much different from that of Earth. A machine power that is stronger and more efficient than human power, melted with a special power called mana.

As already proven in the history of the Earth, the moment it is born, the world reaches a kind of turning point.
