The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

In the next morning, Seya arrived at the Royal Palace. Since the King wanted to talk to him, he went there very early.

In the throne room, there was already some Ministers with the King, discussing some subjects.

- My King, Princess Heiji told me that I was needed.

- Yes, indeed. My Minister of Magic thinks it's about time for you to go to the National Institute of Magic and explain to them how to create Magic Crystals.

Seems that with your guidance, the Minister as already some of his Mages able to create Crystals, when working together. He as already made arrangements for this afternoon.

- Ok, but I will also bring with me the Princess and our friends. For them to believe it's possible, there's nothing better than a bunch of kids doing it right there, instead of only the Royal Mages.

- Do you really think it's necessary?

- The Princess wants to crush the Scholars pride. Seems that she has some grudges against them.

- I understand. As long as you don't let her run loose.

- Of course, my King. And taking the moment of being here, I wish to ask for some Ownership Laws. I have some new equipment ready that are already being made on my new lands and we can start selling them.

- Oh, anything that will make the Minister of Magic faint?

Seya had already opened a Compressed Dimension and was searching for something.

- For sure. Either that or he's going to have a heart attack. I have here… where is that thing… ah, found it.

A belt purse with Compressed Dimension and a weight limit of 10kg.

A one-shoulder bag with Compressed Dimension and a weight limit of half an open wagon.

Crystals for illumination of streets along with a 3mt pole to hold them. These Crystals will gather sunlight during the day and they will automatically lit up at sundown. When the sun rises again, they will turn off.

And… this average size Crystal will be placed on the top of the front door of a house and attached to this support. It will gather sunlight during the day and send that light to the small Crystals placed on these other supports. The supports will be connected to the ceiling of every division of the house. Then, a person upon entering a room can say the command 'Light on!' and the small Crystal will lit up. For turning it down, they just need to say the command 'Light off!'. With this Crystal on the outside and these on the inside, a house can be illuminated without a person spending Magic or candles. The best part is that these Light Crystals don't need to be recharged, they do that by using sunlight.

Really cool, right?

While Seya was taking out every new object and explaining what it was, the Minister of Magic was feeling his legs losing strength. It was all so absurd! How was all that possible? Suddenly, the ground started to spin and he couldn't hold it anymore.

Thump!

While his Minister of Magic was laying on the ground and some Royal Mages rushing to help him, the King slowly shook his head.

- Poor guy. Seya, one of these days you are going to kill him.

...

After the Minister of Magic recovered, Seya started to slowly explain again all about those illuminating Crystals. Those were the ones that everyone in the room found more strange and difficult to comprehend.

- Does the Minister understand it now? This Crystal collects sunlight and it glows at night in the streets. That Crystal collects sunlight during the day and gives that sunlight to the small Crystals inside the house.

- What I don't understand is how the sun is sent to the other Crystals!

- It has a Magical Program for working like that.

- I see… We are already trying to use Magical Programs with the Crystals that we create but I've never thought of using a Program to do something like this!

- Maybe because up until now the Crystals on the market were too expensive, so trying something like this was really out of the question.

- Indeed. One of my Mages as already placed a Magical Program that allows a Crystal to be placed on a pen and it copies from another pen what it's being written.

- Oh, so cool! It will be very good in schools for taking notes, for a merchant to do the accounting or even here in the Palace to write the King's Orders!

Hearing that, the Minister of Magic was so surprised that he even began to stutter.

- …We… We didn't think of those applications, we only thought it would be useful for something…

- You guys really need to get used to the Crystals. With the correct program, you can do a lot of things!

And this takes us to my most amazing creation! These!

Seya took from his Compressed Dimension two Big Crystals and one Gateway Crystal and he proudly gave the Gateway Crystal to the Minister of Magic.

- What is that? A Magic Crystal with Dark and Light Magic on each side? That's even possible?

- Not only is that possible, but I also figured out a way to use the Communicator Device and these Crystals. Anyone will be able to use my Gateway Magic! Even people that can't use Magic.

Everyone on the throne room shouted, almost at the same time.

- What????

- Anyone can go to a Communicator, touch it to make a call and with these Crystals, create a Gateway. But this only works for 15 uses.

I will offer them and just ask some money for the recharge with Dark and Light Magic. But it will be cheap, maybe 1 copper coin for 5 uses, up to a maximum of 15 uses.

King Rohan was looking at the Crystal that the Minister had on his shacking hands.

- But you need to do it yourself? Or anyone can do it?

- I've already created these Big Magic Crystals to recharge the Gateway Crystals and imprint the Magical Program. When there are a lot of these Gateway Crystals being used, the people can go to a Mages Guild or an Adventurer Guild. Those Guilds will receive a part of the money from the recharge. When the Magic on the Big Crystals gets depleted, the people of the Guilds can just recharge it with Light and Dark Magic.

For security reasons these Crystals can only be used for this Magic, they can only be used with the Communicator and the person on the other side must allow the Gateway.

The Minister of Magic was still shacking.

- I never imagined that a Crystal could have two Magic's! And look at the size of that Big Crystal! A person could buy a country with that!

- And who would have that amount to pay for this Crystal? Let's go later to the Communicator Device, I want to explain everything about this and show how to use it.

- Seya, you finally made it. Like you told me some years ago.

- My King, I also want to explain about the new Plantation System that I'm implementing on my lands. And also the creation of the Sellers Tax.

- Very well, I'm listening.

While Seya was explaining, the King was nodding in agreement while the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Economics were speechless.

- And like this, I believe that I can have better crops and also more profitable ones because I will be able to provide the market with products very demanding. And the new Tax will fill my village's safes.

- I don't think that outsider merchants will be very happy with that.

The Minister of Economics looked excited.

- My King, this new tax is amazing! If it gets fully functional over the Marquess lands, we can also use it on the entire kingdom!

Seya smiled.

- I think the same. By then, the merchants won't be able to complain when coming to my lands for selling, because they must do the same all over the kingdom.

Let me just talk about the records of the sellings and the affixation on the city square of the money on the safe and its monthly uses.

The Minister of Agriculture was shaking his head slowly, still a little dumbfounded.

- A new system… again... we didn't have time to spread everywhere the other system that Seya told us… and already with a new one…

…

After Seya explained about the records of the selling's and the monthly reports of city expenses, the Minister of Economics was nodding his head.

- Truly remarkable. Like that, everyone will see where their money is going, so they can't complain.

King Rohan noticed the eager look of his Minister, so he warned him.

- Let's just wait some time while the Marquess tests that on his lands. For now, we must focus on this equipment that Seya brought. You have them ready for sale? We are going to need a lot, especially the Sun Light Crystals.

Seya nodded with a smile.

- I have people working on that. I also have Crystals ready and a lot is being made as we speak, actually.

The Minister of Magic was surprised, by hearing that.

- How? Do you have more people able to make Magic Crystals?

- No, I have made some Big Crystals that do that for me. And other ones that input the Magical Program on the Crystals being created.

- You did what? That's impossible!

- Yeah, the Minister said the same thing when I told here that I was able to create Crystals. And now even the Royal Mages can do it.

The Minister of Magic placed his hand against the nearby wall, he was feeling dizzy.

- But… it's just… Big Crystals creating more Magic Crystals? And placing Magical Programs? That's just… too much!

- But it's doable. Think about it. Instead of putting on a Crystal a Magical Program to copy from one pen to another, why not program a Crystal to create small marble rocks? And more Crystals with different Programs for the other steps?

- I see… like that it would be faster to create Crystals. But that seems very difficult!

- It is, but It's just a case of enough Magic Control and the correct visualization of the Program.

- Can the Marquess talk about that in the afternoon at the Institute? I think they need to hear and learn that.

- That depends on how they behave. The Princess warned me that they can be difficult to handle.

The Minister of Magic had a very worried look, thinking about the proud Mage Scholars of the Institute of Magic.

- Yes, some really are.

…

After Seya and the King signed the official documents for his new Ownership Laws, Seya quickly returned to school to attend the morning classes.
