42 Episode 42: Souvenir

"What are you doing?"

"I'm making a cane"

Cane?

Tetra combines something like parts.

It combines a thin stick with several disks as large as an adult's arm.

Geometric patterns run on the disk.

Quartz is embedded in the tip.

"teach me"

"Do you get it"

Tetra first turned her white palm on me.

My hair flutters softly.

It's a magic that creates wind.

"A magician as high as me can use magic without magic, but ..."

Tetra says, and then removes the paper.

There is a magic circle.

I turned it to me.

The geometric pattern shines and a stronger wind blows than before.

"It's more efficient to cast magic using the magic circle in this way. The magic circle can be used forever because magic uses the things you have."

So that's it……

I was just paying attention to being able to use magic even if you were not a magician, but it also has such advantages.

"But there is one problem. The magic circle is a fixed thing, so you can only use the same kind of magic with the same power. This is not possible but combat. And there is a limit to the magic circle information on paper."

Sure.

No applicability.

The advantage of magic is that you can approach the enemy in various ways.

If you can only use one type, it is not much different from throwing a spear.

It's not something you can carry around.

According to Tetra, the strength of magic depends on the size of the magic circle.

That's why you need a fairly large piece of paper to get the power to hurt people.

Not at all.

"So I assembled a magic circle on a circular wooden board like this. Each magic circle doesn't make sense. But combining multiple ...

Tetra points me at the completed cane.

The staff glowed and a large wind blew.

That's a lot of power.

"And it's possible to change the connection by rotating it, creating a completely different magic."

Tetra spins some disks.

Then turn the cane up.

The flame began to blow.

"But what about the power problem?"

The disk is smaller than paper.

Just because some combination ...

"no problem"

Tetra says he is willing.

Until now, information was represented by the square of | X-axis (horizontal) and | Y-axis (vertical), but this also includes | Z-axis (height). The amount is cubed! "

......

When did you become so smart?

"By the way, what is that crystal?"

"Some of the ornaments I received from a person named Regal Divel. I'm not interested in ornaments, so I disassembled them. Highly transparent crystals can conduct 99% of the magic without distorting the magic. The body is made of wood, so it will burn when you start a fire. But if you attach a crystal, there is no problem. The crystal will not burn. It is cooler to put it on. "

So that's it……

I don't know at all.

For the moment, Mr. Regal.

sorry. My wife has broken up your gift.

"By the way, Almus. I was worried about something, but what happened?"

"Will Bartoro's daughter be born? What should I bring as a souvenir for the birthday party?"

When I ask Bartolo, it seems that sake is basically common.

For sake, not only the organizers, but also all the participants brought in the things they brought in and drunk.

Speaking of which, at the wedding various royals brought sake.

In the second place, such as decorations, amulets, and luxury clothes for children.

"King Rosais told me that honey would be good ... but you can't get that much, right?"

"Certainly ... paper is a strange gift ... what if you want to make it alcohol or food?"

"But can you prepare good food?"

The bread we make is delicious.

But what about bringing bread to celebration?

It's a staple food. And it's better than what Bartolo prepared.

No. I will crush my face.

The basic food and ingredients that Bartolo will serve are NG.

When it comes to drinking ...

"Did you come up with something?"

"Well, I'm going to make spirits."

Alcohol in this world is very low.

When it comes to wine, basically it's basically like grape juice with a little alcohol.

Rather than being drunk, it is treated as a hydration aid and to make the hard water of the Adernia peninsula easier to drink.

Well, 3%.

And the frequency is very strong, about 5%. Super terrible and 10%.

Oh, by the way, this is my experience.

There is no doubt that distilled liquor is about forty percent, so it's definitely worth it.

Some wine was stored by King Ferm, and some we made in the previous village.

We can make enough distilled spirits for banquets.

The taste is not guaranteed because it is not aged, but the wine of the Adernia Peninsula itself is not delicious in the first place.

The taste can be supplemented only by the strong alcohol content.

Everyone wants drunk sake rather than delicious sake.

If you mix it with grape juice and drink it, it will not help.

The child of Bartolo will probably only be born in June. Now is May.

In other words, there is room for another month.

Easy to make.

You can reproduce the experiment of distilling a mixture of water and ethanol that you did in junior high school.

Just one problem.

"I need special equipment ..."

"No good"

"No, it's okay. Just make it."

I can't make it.

Just use a bronze bowl instead of a flask.

Ask a blacksmith ...

"Why is that possible?"

"Well, it's very difficult. It's not impossible ... but the tax sword and spear ..."

"Let's do it later. Let's extend it for two months. Don't worry, the bronze flask will be paid for in wheat and purchased."

When I answer, the blacksmiths look a little surprised.

"... Do you buy?"

"Oh, it's not a tax. I don't need to pay taxes except when there is a war or natural disaster and supplies are not urgently needed."

And it will be more motivated to buy it than to collect it as a tax.

Blacksmiths are precious.

I don't tighten.

And there is enough stock from what you get from King Rossais and what you buy from Bartolo.

Foreign currency can be earned from paper and honey.

The blacksmiths stepped down and said they would pay.

"Hey, Almus"

"What? What?"

"Is the equipment for newly recruited soldiers sufficient?"

"Not enough. But it will take some time for the recruitment to be completed. And there is no spare but we have all."

It is stripped off from King Ferm's army.

The amount stored by King Ferm.

There are plenty of weapons thanks to King Ferm.

And basically you bring your own weapons on the Adernia peninsula.

So you only need to replace the terrible equipment.

"At least, I would like to have more equipment than bronze. Wooden shields are too harsh."

In a previous battle, a soldier with a wooden shield was killed with a gram bow.

High-performance arrows cannot be prevented by wooden shields.

"But I think the armor is good."

"Bronze is heavy ... mobility is important in war."

In addition, heavy infantry charges take a lot of physical strength.

Again, skin is desirable.

Well, we have high physical ability due to the blessing, so we can afford even bronze whole body.

So how effective is my blessing?

Yulia said how loyalty was.

Because it's about ...

At least the people of the kingdom of Ferm had no loyalty to me.

New refugees are no different.

Since when have my children (but not children) been affected by my blessing?

The first thing that started to affect me was when I protected Rosward, right?

The children at that time were normal.

After all, it gradually changed between the ages of ten and fourteen.

In other words, will it take at least four years?

No, we are always different from us.

Given that ...

No good. You should not expect blessing.

After all it is delicate blessing ...

But my physical abilities are better than when I was in the village.

That is, the hurdles that affect everyone are different from those that affect me, right?

And it's a proof that the Ass people are gradually starting to be loyal to me ...

"Almus? Alive?"

"Oh, sorry. I'm alive. I'm alive. I was just thinking a bit."

Is it useless to think?

I don't know anyway.
