Magicraft Meister Part 3

Keith Tennic de Norha, Duke of Norha, ordered his Prime Minister Premus High Yasna to explain about the , the founder of the Dukedom of Norha.

"So, first of all, let me tell you about the 's predecessor, the ......".

By learning about the events of the past, we hope to help you understand the currents leading up to the present day.

Prime Minister Premus High Yasna began to speak slowly.

"It is said that the Revolutionary Frontier Corps existed even before they began pioneering in this region.

Rather, it was the Revolutionary Frontier Corps that encouraged other countries to settle the land.

"It seems that the leaders of the Pioneer Revolutionary Corps at that time were people who wanted to build their own country away from the state of the time.

Hearing this, Gaju Tugga recalled the Shoro Kingdom, which had been established in the west after breaking away from the Dinaric Kingdom in the past.

The Shoro Kingdom was also founded with the hope of creating a new nation.

"The early days of pioneering went well. However, there was one miscalculation.

The difficulty was that it was difficult to secure water in the interior.

"There were springs near the coast, and if you dug a well, you could get water. It also rained."

Inland, however, there was little rainfall, and even when deep wells of up to 50 meters were dug, no water flowed.

"The soil was very fertile and we had good harvests every year, but the only land available for cultivation was about 30 km inland from the coastline, so the fields inevitably extended along the coastline.

This was a natural consequence. As a result, towns, villages and cities were established along the coastline.

"But because of this, the people dispersed.

"I see."

The Prime Minister paused here.

"The four duchies...... were not a country then, but from the time of colonization until now, this land is still fertile. It is incomparably more fertile than any other land.

< explanation, the Prime Minister brought up the fertility of the land where the four duchies are located as a .

"We are wondering if there is some special geological feature. But we have not been able to analyze it with our technology.

Can you do it?　the Prime Minister asked Gaju Tuga.

"I can't promise you that, but if you give us a soil sample, we will do our best to investigate.

Tsuga replied, "Oh, by all means.

"Oh, by all means.

Not knowing why the land is fertile is a cause for concern, says the Prime Minister.

"You never know when the land will become too thin."

"Oh, I see. ......"

If crops grow well because of a mysterious effect, it's natural to worry about when that effect will wear off.

"Leave it to me."

Gaju Tsuga had no choice but to answer in this case.

The meeting was witnessed by the old man through Manon's eyes and ears.

< were in bed at that time.

< heaped up the soil, it must mean that they were doing something.

If they simply brought fertile soil to the island, it is not possible for a good harvest to continue for more than a hundred years.

<>

Surprisingly, I have never analyzed the soil of Horai Island.

The old man thought to himself, "This is not the way to do it.

He decided to study the soil of Horai Island tomorrow with the help of Hanna and Saki.

In the Principality of Norway, the Prime Minister was again explaining about the .

"......That's why, because of the arable land, the people spread out along the coastline. So the territory spread out too far."

"I see. ......"

"As the territory spread out, the environmental conditions became different. Then, humans are funny, they care about other people's things.

There is a saying that "the neighbor's flower is red" or "the neighbor's grass is blue". <

And the overgrown territory was divided.

"By that time, the leadership of the ...... was already calling itself the ....... They were divided into those who inherited the ideas of the first generation, those who interpreted them in their own way, and those who rejected them."

"......"

<.

It was a tragedy that could have happened to them.

As the group grew and the generations passed, the ideals ...... of the first generation gradually faded away.

We can't assume that this was a corruption, but it didn't seem to be a desirable thing.

It was against this background that the country was divided into four duchies.

Prime Minister Premus High Yasna concluded with a wry smile.

"Thank you very much. Thanks to you I have a better understanding of the historical background of the four principalities.

Gaju Tugga thanked the Prime Minister.

"Do you have any questions?"

"Well, one."

Gajdu Tsuga opened his mouth.

"......4Duchy......No, at the moment I have visited three duchies, except for the Duchy of Jagus, which I have not visited yet. Each of them has its own way of thinking. Why is that?"

This was answered by the king, Kees Tennic de Norha.

"Well, the Principality of Mimaka hates secrets, the Principality of Dalat is not very interested in other countries, and our Principality of Norway values reason and dislikes decisions based on emotion, is that right?

Ah, yes, that is correct.

"Oh, yes, that's right. I heard that the founding members of the <> were a group that tried to make decisions based on reason and not on temporary feelings.

"Is that so?"

Gaju Tugga thought that such a line of thought was understandable.

Fionn Phias also believes that it is good to try to make rational judgments.

"It seems that the motto of the first generation was that the essence of man is reason."

"Haha ......"

The same kind of thinking exists on the earth.

Various arguments have been fought over the contrast between reason and emotion, reason and instinct.

<.

Although the debate has not yet reached its final conclusion, there is one argument that has been made.

<.

If we act according to our emotions and instincts, we are no different from wild animals.

If we only act theoretically, we are like machines.

In other words, they argue that the most human-like human being is the one who controls emotions and instincts with reason and has what is called .

It is a very vague definition, but since the question of what is a human being is itself vague, the answer must also be vague.

Let's leave it at that.

Under the principle of the importance of reason, the four principalities, generation after generation, must have changed their interpretations and embodiments of the principle, just as, say, the primitive Buddhism was divided into various sects.

This is what the old man, who was observing the meeting through Manon, was thinking in the light of the knowledge he had received from Jin.
