Magicraft Meister Part 3

On December 1, Jin was talking with the on Horai Island.

"I knew this world had become distorted," he thought.

"I can see that."

Erza nodded.

"I asked the old man to look into it and he told me that the number of , which was quite large about 300 years ago, has decreased to less than a tenth of what it used to be. I was shocked to hear that the number of , which were quite numerous about 300 years ago, has been reduced to less than one-tenth.

"That's true, isn't it?"

It must be unbearable for Erza, a healer, to know that because of this, the injured and sick are not being treated adequately.

"It looks like most of the <> have been torn down or removed as well."

This is Reinhard.

"Yes, it seems so. Indeed, it's hard to build, but easy to tear down. ......"

Jin nodded, looking disappointed.

"I snuck off to Potrock, but the ship seems to have degenerated somewhat. It's a shame."

Marcia said sadly.

"Oh, I know what you mean. The magic tools haven't improved at all ......, they seem to be degenerating."

"I see. The other day we snuck off to the Blue Lands together. It was somewhat lackluster compared to the heyday I knew.

Bina and Luis also expressed their disappointment.

"The Shoro Empire was relatively better, though.

I know a bit about it since I visited there the other day with Reinhardt and the others.

"Still, the golem-related business seems to be declining.

"Yes."

Jin and Reinhardt nodded at each other.

"So..."

Jin opened his mouth in front of everyone.

"I will eventually move to Hale and retire from Ars,...... or not, but the current situation is disappointing and unfortunate."

"Uh-huh."

The group was surprised to hear the word "retire" come out of Jin's mouth, but they must have guessed his intentions, because they all turned serious.

"First of all, I would like to start with the Shoro Empire and return it to the level it was at least 400 ...... or even 350 years ago. I'd like to bring it back to the level it was at least 400 or even 350 years ago.

By 350 years ago, I mean when Jin was in his prime or late years.

"I see...back then, ...... yes, things were certainly better maintained than they are now."

"Right?　I'm going to help you in various ways to achieve the way things were back then.

"That's not free ......, is it?"

Reinhardt asked to confirm Jin's words.

"Of course. And by the way, I'm not going to help you with everything, and I'm not going to end it easily."

Jin said, "I don't want them to walk away and go back to the way they were.

"Well, that would be fine, but it would take ...... a long time."

"Well, I'm sure we'll have plenty of time ......."

Jin said with a slightly self-deprecating laugh.

"Then we need to figure out how to get the resources and budget."

Elsa said.

"Well, we want to release the money that we have in Horai Island."

To put it bluntly, Jin's assets are not only comparable to the national budget of those countries......, but several times larger.

The reason for this is that he had no way to spend it while it was accumulating.

"Is most of it in ?"

Jin asks the old man.

<>.

These <<> are the currency for saving. It is a special currency established to prevent the accumulation of gold and silver coins, which would cause various problems due to the shortage of currency.

It is made of the highest quality magi crystals of all attributes, the same size and shape as gold coins, and 1000 times more valuable than gold coins. In other words, each piece is worth 10 million dollars, or about 100 million Japanese yen.

One korot (a unit of magi crystal, about 1 gram) of the highest quality magi crystal of all attributes is 1 million tolls, which means 10 grams, That is 10 grams.

Jin had not only tens of thousands but hundreds of thousands of such crystals.

The money earned by the < and others scattered throughout the region, the sale of various magical tools and magical machines, the supply of rare materials, and the rewards for various lectures and support, etc., accumulated over a period of nearly 40 years. The money has accumulated over a period of nearly 40 years.

"Can't we take this opportunity to somehow use this money to stimulate the economy?

"Well, if we release it all at once, I think we'll end up with a mess," he said.

Reinhardt nailed Hitoshi with a nail, saying, "So think about it and use it.

"So let me ask you a question. What should I use ...... for?"

Everyone is a little taken aback, but then they realize that it's not so surprising.

After all, they have no good ideas.

In the first place, Horai Island is completely self-sufficient. Even some of the rarest materials can be gathered by oneself, not by buying them. Ancient dragon shells, for example.

In other words, there is no need to do the usual <.

"Sorry to be so abstract, but <><> is the only thing I can think of.

Reinhard, an experienced lord, was the first to offer advice.

"So, for example, if you rent land to do something, you have to pay a rental fee, and if you hire someone to operate the land, you have to pay a salary."

Jin understood what he meant.

"Yes. However, if you use it for commercial purposes, you will make a profit, which in turn means more money."

"Yeah, that's the whole point."

How about running an orphanage, an educational institution, and a new healing center?

Count Luis Wurtz Kuzma, who also has experience as a lord, said.

"An orphanage, ......."

Jin thought back to the institution that had raised him.

"It sure would be nice. ...... Marcosius also gathered orphans and educated them."

Jin said nostalgically.

Saki agreed.

"Kuhu, perhaps the number of orphans has increased since the <> has been stirring things up."

"That's right."

"Then, how about a monument, a memorial park, and a memorial facility to commemorate the greats of the past?"

Rodrigo suggested.

"Yes, that would be a good idea. The airfield in Toka Village is now called .

I thought I heard a voice say "huh?" but I let it go and Jin asked a further question.

"Is there anyone who is such a great person ......?"

Vivian was the first to answer.

"Well, there is one person close to me.

"Yes, who?"

Instead of answering, Vivian pointed her finger at Jin.

"Yes?"

Reinhardt explained to Jin, who did not understand.

"The second generation <>...... that is, you, Jin."
