Chapter 241: Visitor

While Eina went with Sol to the Female Department, Eman decided to visit the library to read books.

It was already afternoon when they left the Magical Academy. He would have planned to leave immediately when he found out that they had no practical training today. But, because his sister enjoyed strolling, he decided to stay a little bit because it was only once in a while that Eina could get a chance like this.

Although Eman rarely attends the academy, it doesn't affect his grades much. The only important thing is to pass the exams so that even if he rarely enters, his overall grades will not drop terribly. With the help of his mysterious system, it is easy for him to remember things because his System is capable of saving data. And let it whisper to him the information he wants.

In terms of magic training, he had no actual issue with it. He was a fast learner. At this point, it was as if he was carrying his own record of information. It was also one of the reasons why he thought of reading books.

As they rode in the carriage, the story of her sister who happily recounted her experience when Sol took her to the Female Department was almost uninterrupted. Looks like Sol not only took Eina everywhere, she even met the princess. In this case, Eman's sister beat him. He had never seen the princess even though he had been a guest in the palace several times.

Well, he didn't really wish to see the princess. He just thought after his sister mentioned her. Based on her sister's description of the princess's appearance, there is no doubt that she was a beauty as well. Though, he wasn't interested to learn further about the princess. The thought about her didn't linger in his mind for long. 

He just smiled as he continued to listen to his sister's story. However, while he was listening to her, the slightly dull atmosphere that seemed to envelop the surroundings could not escape his sharp eyes.

Eman couldn't help but think. 'The other days, there were a lot of people to be seen on the road. But now, there seems to be some kind of evil element circulating around. Everyone seems to be upset and afraid of anything. Is it because of the medicine shortage?' Eman asked himself. Eman's forehead furrowed slightly as he thought. It is also possible that his suspicion is wrong.

'From the information I have gleaned from the reports of my staff, I have a prediction that this crisis may cause distress. But I didn't expect it to be this fast. It has only been a few days since the crisis began. But now the result can be seen. Hmm… does the emperor already know about this?' Although he asked this, he also answered his own question. 'Yeah. Sure this issue has reached him, but. What step will the emperor take for this crisis?' As he thought about it he suddenly remembered something.

'Wait, Eina told me last time about Ranking Month of great noble families. But looking at the situation now, it is doubtful that it will happen this month unless the crisis will not proliferate to such an extent.'

Eman lightly rubbed his nose. Although he was still listening and smiling from what his sister was saying, he could not help himself to be interested in thinking about the current situation.

He doubted that all that was happening could be in connection with Ranking Month. He could also be wrong. But, he was sure of one thing; someone is playing behind the scenes.

He became even more convinced that it was the crisis that caused concern among the people after seeing the troubled expressions on their faces.

Before leaving the capital city, they first visited Klaus's smithing shop to get news about the items he ordered. And also to find out if Mr. Klaus has decided to make the railgun that he is looking forward to. Well, this isn't really Eman's priority. Just so, he was excited to see a real railgun.

Eman found out that Klaus was not in his shop. It looks like something important went up. He went to the southern town ahead of Oslo Town. Well, he also didn't say what time he would visit his shop again.

Although Klaus is not there, his trusted staff, Hal, is there. From Hal, he found out that the equipment was delivered yesterday, as well as the people who will make it. Actually, he was a bit fascinated by the Waterwheel of this world.

Based on what he found out, they use magical artifacts on waterwheels. To make them effective even if they put them in the lake. Based on what he found out, it seems that the main use of waterwheels in this area is for irrigating the paddy fields and also for milling the grains.

But, that's not all Eman wanted. There was another reason why he wanted to do it. With the help of artifacts, he was positive that he could produce electricity through them.

From his readings, he came to know that the luminous crystals used in some establishments are very expensive. Low-income citizens cannot afford such things. Plus their energies don't last long. They burn after a few days of use. So even Eman wouldn't want to waste money on those things.

Regardless, he couldn't find any records regarding the person who introduced the first waterwheel. He could be a person native in this world, or someone like him, who came from another world. He had a strong feeling that it wasn't originally from this world. No matter how he sees those waterwheels, they were very identical to the waterwheels in his former world. Since otherworlder wasn't an impossible thing here, there was a high chance that someone from his world or someone from a world with advanced infrastructure or an agricultural economy had introduced the first waterwheel here.

However, he could be wrong.

Regardless, Eman couldn't help but remember that childhood friend of his on earth. She was a person who had good talent in this matter.

Eman and Eina continued their travels after a little talk with Hal.

…

Inside the Gentewind Main Family manor, two young men came to visit. They were led by a young female attendant towards a guest room. One of the two guests could not help but constantly send glances at the young female attendant's buttocks as they walked in the hallway of this massive mansion.

These two were no other than Kyle and Arthur.
