The Economics of Prophecy

"Was it okay? Curator!"

I opened the curator's office door and hurried inside. Silent Alfina follows.

"Oh, are you here, Ricardo?"

Fulsey replied with a relaxed face. I looked indoors, what about Meer and Noel?

"Senior." "Ah, I'm finally here. And... Dear Alfina, it's been a long time."

The door on the library side opened and Meer and Noel turned up. Um, are you okay?

"Don't be named Empress of the Empire. They had me hiding. Even Noh thinks about it. It's not you."

Fulsey said.

"Right. It's the seniors who are worried."

I even tuned in with Meer. Noel held his own mouth. You would have definitely laughed if Alfina hadn't been here. The Alfina is silent.

"... what story did the Empress tell you?"

I changed the subject back.

"That was an unusual story. They didn't even ask me about the dragon."

"You mean the carriage or the antenna?

Fulsey shook her head.

"So, what's the story?"

"You've talked about the Warcraft Flood. Yeah, needless to say, I'm not talking about the annual wheel. On the contrary, I was able to ask you a few questions about dealing with the Imperial Warcraft."

Customer, in fact, close to the national guest, my interest is a boulder. That's interesting. Of course I didn't necessarily tell the truth. But even the Empire thing is under-informed. There's something you can see if you test the way you lie.

"Beyond that, we should still pay attention to the activity of the demonic pulse. I was surprised that there were only two measuring stations in the kingdom.

I would like to think that we have an advantage here, at least in terms of measurement sensitivity.

"Naturally, it's like there's a place in the country where warcraft occurs..."

"It's not like there's a small warcraft flood going on in the kingdom many times a year. Every basin seems to be responsible for the crusade."

"Well, I guess I won't be able to make it if I give you some instructions in the middle."

This one could happen at the same time in East and West, so it's rough. Is there a tendency towards decentralization rather than centralisation, also because of the geographical condition of basin gathering?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's a tough environment compared to the kingdom. The high number of mountainous areas is also detrimental to agricultural production. Even if you say mineral resources are abundant, it is a resource around the realm of the Warcraft, collecting costs a lot. Even more so if, as the Empire says, the Warcraft is activated.

That is why the wars between the empire and the kingdom up to fifty years ago are all waged by the empire in search of the kingdom's land. For the kingdom, imperial territory cannot be managed even if it is gained. Can you say that it is close to the old relationship between China and the northern nomads?

The only problem is the impact of that difference in the environment on the evolution of each national system.

"How about Noel? Something about a change in the magic dorm?

"Meer asked me in the library, but you haven't made any particular difference. Even so..."

Noel made a difficult face.

"What's up?

"Don't expect too much from me because I was too busy moving and I wasn't around"

"What, you know what? How's the new room?"

What I saw before was a small workshop. Has it become somewhat easier to use?

"I think it feels like you're sitting on a thick carpet."

"That sounds comfortable."

That's a good thing if you've been treated better.

"That carpet has to be metallic."

"Yeah? Alchemist specific analogy?"

"It's a general meaning! The apprentice suddenly became a court magician. My boss insists on how he got into the Great Sage. The seniors were better loved and hostile. Back when they barely dealt with me..."

Noel held up around his stomach. Oh, did you mean the needle?

"That's troublesome. I want you to unify your response."

I went with empathy. That's how college students react to me split up.

"You deserve it."

"Mr. Noel. Tell me if there's anything I can do."

"Yes, sir"

To Alfina's concern, Noel nodded with an ambiguous face. In this case, royal cards with intense action and reaction are difficult to use.

"I have a name for working with the Knights of Warcraft, so to some extent, I'll be fine. There is talk of a prince shielding the Grand Duke and the Prince. It smells just as good as a back shield."

Rather, you're a back shield that doesn't need to do more than smell. Although it is likely to be counterproductive for the Second Prince Faction.

"Regardless of Noel. You don't know why the Empress came."

"Right. But all of a sudden, you won't act like a spy."

Meer said. They heard the conversation inside through the library door. I'm a little relieved. I can trust Meer's judgment the most.

"Oh, just one thing. That princess, I don't think her witchcraft qualities are that high."

Noel said. Fulsey nodded as well. That's a little surprising, that carriage and a good prince, though I thought that was the kind of expert over there.

"Waiting for the other move in the end..."

It's disgusting to be passive with you inside, but I can't help it. Expect around the Grand Duke. We have a lot of difficulties with interpersonal bargaining skills. Well, I'm the one with the most.

"It's time to start talking about today. Let's start with the Western demon vein."

Fulsey said. We moved in front of the tablet.

It's much easier to deal with nature. Besides, it's only when you have a lot to do that you have to prioritize or you're broke.

"It's the noise that was plaguing the Western Demon Pulse Survey. The previous measuring carriage found that the cause was a very thin demonic vein emanating from the western area. Thanks to you, we can now make corrections."

Fulsey said. It's an achievement rocked by a carriage to Bertoldo. It is not the assumption of the Knights' Exercise that this previous carriage race would not be possible, but it is necessary to complete the observation beyond the possibility of a warcraft flood at the same time between East and West.

"You know, the western temper just keeps getting stronger..."

Alfina asked. I see, if it involves prophecy, it's a leading candidate. In the unlikely event that the western part of the kingdom is to be said to be drunk by demonic veins, etc., I can't even imagine how to deal with it.

Unlike the Empire, the kingdom has only limited coping capabilities that are currently being strengthened.

"I don't seem to worry about it at the moment. Meer and I have calculated that the amount of temper is rather diminishing."

Fulsey and Meer nodded in Noel's explanation as well. I held my chest down like Alfina was relieved.

"I told you I'd keep an eye out for seasonal changes in the future. At the behest of the prince, we seem to be cooperating with the measuring station and the Knights, so we have a problem for the moment."

I nodded to Fulsey's conclusion, too. That's in the form of a deal. I honestly feel relieved that my efforts are rewarded. It's tough to have the next bigger problem every time the problem is solved.

"Next up is the Imperial carriage."

In the end, that guild leader carriage is a retire. If I was second to Kenwell, I might have been able to put it up on the podium and observe.

Even though there is no evidence of wrongdoing, it cannot be taken away. All you have to do is ask how the guild leader got the Demon Crystal, but then we'll talk about how he was able to find out about it.

I want to keep the presence of a measurable antenna secret even during the journey. What's more, I wanted to refrain from the risk of a ketch in the race even to spread the bearings.

I can only do a few things that I could observe before retiring.

Subsequent investigations have shown that the Imperial Merchant's carriage has been in and out of the Grand Duke of Kurtheit many times. The box above was a carriage in the kingdom, so I guess I only swapped around the carriage legs for imperial stuff.

"I saw the Knights material provided by the prince. It's from when I was still fighting the Empire, so I don't have much description on top of the old one. Heavy things and so on. It's just that if the wagon was being used with Warcraft material on the boulder, we'd have a record."

That there was no such thing as saying that the level of the carriage was not different from that of the kingdom until at least fifty years ago. Or a very limited number, even if there were.

"If warcraft damage is frequent in the Empire, it could be that the material has become more readily available..."

This one also uses Demonic Crystals, a loot for crusades, to mold irregular bearings. From that black prince's confident attitude, there's no doubt there's an opportunity and need for know-how over there to deal with dragons. If scales are available, dragon scale steel can be made.

"How much dragon scale steel can you make from the scale of a greedy dragon before this?

If light and sturdy metals are mass-produced, that in itself is a major threat.

"It's a metal on record, so I don't know how to make it. They don't use scales as they are, they use objects extracted from scales. There was a picture of a spoon being removed from the dragon's neck, so I was wondering if it would be that easy."

It's half biological. Will the strength normally drop if I mix it with iron as it is? However, if it is a rare metal stain, it is possible that it can be made by adding only a few percent. Not a big amount if you have a spoon, but it's possible that the painting is exaggerated.

"As far as the artisans' opinions are concerned, that carriage will do its utmost if used within the Empire."

"If you're just gonna run down the road, it's not gonna make a difference."

I might even say that this carriage is better for soaking without the use of rare materials. Although only if used in large quantities for commercial purposes.

"First of all, I don't know why you kept blocking magic. On the way home... there was no shadow on the radar in the main battle."

"You did."

Were you treading that you could win just because of the performance of Warcraft material? No, if you just don't use magic, anyway, you don't know why you're blocking magic?

Can't you get the Empire's timber yet?

Fulsey just said so.

"Sounds like Kenwell's got a little more to say. Please take your measurements as soon as they arrive"

If there was an online sale in the kingdom, I would be so curious as to click on the delivery status again and again. You can't say much about the Imperial Demonic Pulse Variation in one book, but even if you say wood, you will need to adjust the experimental procedure Protocol because it will be of a different kind.

In the first place, it's important to see if you can measure it. The demon pulse was too strong and saturated. It's possible.

Once those things have been resolved, we will negotiate a massive acquisition for a reason per the expansion of the Bertoldo Workshop. Because we need wood anyway, and we only need a small part to measure it.

"I'm waiting for you to arrive, but this is your top priority at the moment. Unless, of course, the prophecy turns up."

Everyone nodded at my words. The meeting is over. I was able to organize information and deal with it.

But there is a growing problem of the princess. My fingers accidentally stretched out into my chest pocket. My fingers cut the sky gently.

It's a habit that you can't get out of when you're reborn. There are no items here that I relied on during these times in my previous life. At least in a way that you can stand by instantly.
