Mage? Spell Engineer!

You ask me whether I support the recent measures of Charles XVI and Minister Necker. Of course I support it, but whether there is a gold mine or not. No comment!

Rorschach maintained his consistent attitude, saying that the secondary plane was a barren land and he didn't know if there were any gold mines.

Then he began to talk about creating water and building houses in the secondary plane. The big shots dispersed, leaving two or three young people who were willing to listen to his experience.

Someone asked: "Did you really find the giant worm entrenched underground later? How did you defeat it?"

This is a complete fabrication of Elemental Pravda!

"Yes, it has a gray-purple shell, and each body segment has eyes staring at you. The most terrifying thing is the head. Its huge fangs can secrete corrosive venom, and its big mouth full of sharp teeth seems to be able to devour The world. Whenever you break a segment, it will split into more monsters, and each segment can transform into its own head."

"Oh my God."

"Those are all the thrilling encounters of Master 'Loka' (the protagonist in Pravda). Our real situation is that we encountered a natural disaster." Rorschach thought of a way to explain: "Madam, please imagine our hometown, the northern part of the mainland. The heaviest snow ever covered the sky and sun, and crushed trees and farmers' thatched houses.

This is already bad, right? Please imagine that every piece of snow is a dangerous pink color. As long as it touches sand and rocks, it will change irregularly. If it touches people, it will cause tumors and hyperplasia of bone spurs. Such deadly things were once Flying all over the sky, it can penetrate rock walls and rain down pink, distorted death."

A young man who later joined the Rorschach Storytelling Society felt it most. Oh, and his hair was also the silkiest. The black hair parted in the middle fell down to form two pieces: "Powder snow is coming, changing constantly, raining curses and the dance of death." This is a theme that music often expresses, and such dangerous and beautiful scenes are depicted with musical notes.

I want to thank you, Master Rorschach, for inspiring me to create. Hello, please call me Franz, the performer of this cocktail party. What do you think of the previous piano music? When I came to Valuauna I adapted it to the symphony here."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Good music can always bring us the purest joy, and your performance is undoubtedly the best." Rorschach can't say that he is illiterate in the field of music. He listened to pop songs before time travel, but after time travel, I don’t know anything about symphonies, ballads, concertos, and big-flavored pieces.

As the reception came to an end, Rorschach excused himself and slipped out of the circle to the savory area. There were all kinds of sausages that he had not seen for a long time. The difference was that they were cut into slices and distributed on small plates. There was also a kind of white sausage, which had a dedicated waiter. When someone comes to take it, take it out of the hot water and peel off the casings with a knife and fork for the guest.

This goes well with bread, but the garlic flavor is too strong. Rorschach ate all the bread and sausages with the goal of being full, and was ready to switch to desserts.

"Mr. Rorschach, please come with me to the reception room. Mr. Ambassador is looking for you."

Rorschach was still carrying a stack of cakes when he entered. He didn't wait for Mr. Ambassador to speak and said bluntly: "Mr. Ambassador, if you ask me about the gold mine in the secondary plane, I will still say: I don't know, I have no comment. ." After saying that, he took out a bag and placed it on the table. Inside was a handful of orange-red soil - a sample that Rorschach had taken on the first day.

Viscount Gottfried was stunned for a moment after opening the bag, and motioned to his men to close the door. "Then I want to know the Valuauna Magic Guild's attitude towards gold mines and mining companies."

Rorschach did not answer this question immediately. He released [Magic Detection]. There was magic aura on the ambassador and the guards, while under the room there was a blur of light, which was a magic circle whose details could not be seen clearly.

The Viscount continued: "Please rest assured, there is no means of recording sound or other perceptions here, and the anti-prophecy system is shielded. Our conversation will only leave anonymous and encrypted reports."

"The Magic Guild insists on not having anything to do with the gold mine and the company, although Necker has been trying to get us on board." For example, that palace banquet.

"Obviously the Minister of Finance wanted to use the credit of the Magic Guild to endorse the mining company, but such an attempt failed after the guild 'concerned' the media. As for the stock and its value itself, most mages don't care, and there may be someone who will participate. Let’s trade.”

"One more thing." Mr. Viscount laid out several colorful pieces of paper on the table: Ichiro, ten livres, five livres and one livre.

"Now five banks have begun to issue banknotes. Master Rorschach, what is the attitude of spellcasters towards them?" Banknotes are still new to this continent. Although there are checks and money orders, they are only means of circulation for large-value transactions, not Credit currency.

Recalling Kano's words, Rorschach replied: "I don't know what everyone thinks. At least the upper-level mages believe that these pieces of paper will definitely depreciate."

This is also the judgment of the empire. They know very well how bad the financial situation of the Holy Kingdom is. "But unexpectedly, the recent trend of rising commodity prices has been contained."

"Mr. Ambassador, there are two things that are rising. They are on the headlines of newspapers every day. The higher the price rises, the more people are rushing to buy."

"Mining company stocks, bonds."

"Yes, with these two reservoirs, Necker and his bank can issue freely and boldly, and a large amount of metal currency is recovered by him by purchasing public bonds and stocks. Regardless of whether there are gold mines, now he There should be a lot of real money on hand, and more resources can be mobilized by issuing banknotes."

The ambassador thought of the recent information: "The Holy Kingdom used gold coins to urgently import a batch of grain and flour to Istani and the city alliance at the southern end of the continent, and all of them were transported to Valuana." Originally, the Holy Kingdom should be the largest producer of grain. Producing countries, but also with a large population, the price of bread will skyrocket once there is a fluctuation, while Istany has a relatively stable ability to export food.

Apparently Necker had reversed the tight financial situation of the Holy Kingdom, and it was easier to do things now that he had money.

"There will definitely be prosperity for some time in the future, and the bubble may be popped by this financial genius on his own initiative."

The ambassador thought it was news from the magic guild, and quickly asked: "Activity? So you have a plan and time?"

"I'm just guessing." Rorschach shook his head. The current method is to use new debt, and the dividends promised by stocks are much higher than the cost of public debt. Judging from the knowledge accumulated by typing on the keyboard before Rorschach traveled through time, the Finance Minister's routine is clearly visible.

At least for now, whether it is exchanging debt and banks for currency issuance rights, or exchanging public bonds for stocks, Necker is doing two things at the same time: "When the citizens of the Holy Kingdom dug out the last physical gold coin, when the Minister of Finance successfully exchanged When all the public debt is converted into credit currency and denominated, boom.”

After the conversation, Rorschach and the ambassador took their own time to walk out of the reception room. Tonight's event ended successfully with the Ambassador's concluding remarks. The reception was a success, but Rorschach was very unsatisfied, especially since his stomach was only three-thirds full. When he came out of the mansion, he saw that there were no shops on Muxian Street, only kerosene lamps far apart.

It seems like we have to go to the Tower of Stars to find a midnight snack. Rorschach thought about this and drove on the road.

The further Rorschach walked, the fewer cars were traveling with him, and finally only one person was left on the street. He didn't know the specific location, so he could only believe that the Alchemy Horse was said to be as intelligent as the Talling.

But he didn't know that there was someone he knew on the other side of the street - Floran was running in embarrassment.
