Magicraft Meister Part 4

"The ledger showed the amount of materials used at the end of the war."

"Well, if you're developing weapons, there's bound to be a flow of goods."

"Yes. The main material was iron, 25 million tons. 900,000 tons of copper and 300,000 tons of tin.

"What, what a lot! ......"

The Prime Minister could not hide his surprise at the figures.

"The production of iron in the Kingdom of Cerroa last year was 200,000 tons.　More than 100 times that amount. ......"

The use of iron in a world with magic, however, would be unimaginable in today's Japan. The opposite is also true.

In Ars, iron is used for weapons such as swords, armor, and shields, agricultural tools such as plows and hoes, hammers, anvils, nails, pots, and axles.

And of course, for golems.

It is also exported to the Kingdom of Franz.

The total amount is 200,000 tons.

This is the same level as that of England in the late 1700s and early 1800s. This is the same level as that of England in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

Incidentally, copper production during the same period seems to have been around 10,000 tons. (It is not possible to specify the year because of the remarkable growth during this period.)

"So, I imagine that they tried to make huge weapons out of iron or steel."

"Umm...... if your guess is correct, that means there is a huge weapon buried somewhere......."

The Prime Minister shuddered.

"Will it be possible to find it, Mister Jin?"

"Well,...... if it's iron, I suppose we could apply <> to find it,...... assuming it's a huge structure, but..."

"I see. ......"

"But the problem is that the search area is too large."

That is certainly true.

I think it would be better to clean up the land first.

Is that your opinion, Mr. Arnold?

"Yes, I would like to restore the land to its former state of fertility.

King Beaux-Arts smiled at these words.

"Thank you. Nations change, but lands remain the same. You love the land that nurtures people, don't you, King Arnold?

Yes, yes, yes.

We should learn from him. What we really need to protect is not the nation as a man-made organization, but the land as an environment that nurtures people.

King Bozar seemed to sense something in Arnold's words.

In a slightly somber atmosphere, Jin spoke up.

"Well, actually, there was one more thing I wanted to tell you.

What is it, Jin-dono?

"It is about the facilities on the island south of Kupu and the base under Fort Lutgula. I have been investigating them in cooperation with Makina, and we have a rough idea of what they are.

Hearing this, the Prime Minister nodded his head in interest.

"At that time, a soldier by the name of Sho Noriji did a great job, didn't he?

"Makina-dono and Rei-dono helped him out, didn't they?

"That was right, Your Majesty. I had heard the interim report from Makina-dono. ......

Jin explains to the Prime Minister.

"Yes. I think we will have a final report. Your Excellency, Your Majesty."

"Oh, let's hear it, Jin-dono."

"Yes, Your Highness. ...... First of all, I'm sure you're aware of my involvement with the Sori Society.

"Yes. I heard that you took seeds of plants that could be used to make narcotics out of that facility.

"Yes."

Jin then explained about the facility.

Since a chronological explanation would make it impossible to leave out the explanation of the <>, I will try to list what I have found out.

The discovery and repair of two blue-haired automata named <> and <> at <>.

With the help of these two automata, we were able to efficiently investigate the inside of the facility.

The facility in question had been looted by the golem of <>.

In addition, I would like to summarize a little bit about the mess involving <>.

This information is provided in cooperation with Deus ex Machina III.

<.

When the people related to <> conducted an investigation of the basement of <>, there was a person of <>'s blood, and the magic brain went out of control when it sensed it.

I had explained a little about this when I was allowed to measure the <>.

"Oh, at that time, there was a debate in the Royal Assembly about what to do about the <> and the <>, wasn't there?

King Bozar said.

However, there is a bitter memory that they only argued and could not reach a consensus at all.

"As I recall, Makina-sama said that a magical mind that sees the <<<< Northerners as enemies can do a hundred harms and not a single good."

"Yes, Your Majesty. ...... which leads me to that thing I set up the other day."

The information was left as it was, and the thinking and control parts were newly created.

In doing so, I will not mention the fact that <> has gone out of control.

I see. That makes sense.

Thank you for the explanation, Mister Jin.

No problem. I'm ...... not in chronological order, is there anything that is unclear?"

Jin dared to blur some points in his explanation, so I knew he would ask me something.

"Yes, I do. What should we do about the ?"

"Since it's in the right place, why don't we transfer the ownership to the Kingdom of Selroa, and the <> to <>?"

"Mm. ...... is also a good idea."

The king asks Jin a question.

"Jin-dono, the ......<>?　<

"Ah, you left that part out. I apologize for that.

Jin then explained about the island base.
