Chapter.30 Watch

“What is this...?” ?”

The dwarf asked with wide eyes about something he had never seen before. I am not surprised by objects that suddenly pop out. There’s a dragon next to you, so you shouldn’t be surprised by this.

“It’s a watch. “I plan to spread proper time in this world.”

There is a sundial in the imperial palace of the capital. However, it divides time into six major periods and is only used in the imperial palace.

And organized time is only for me in this world. There is nothing good about monopolizing the concept of time. Everyone must know it for it to be effective.

“clock?”

On the outside, it is just a wooden box. Although the hands of the watch on the front are made of metal, they do not look sophisticated on the outside. That’s why the dwarf’s expression was somber.

“Come here.”

So I called the dwarf behind the clock. Then he tore off the back plate and showed it to me. A world of elaborate gears. The arrangement was so beautiful.

The dwarf made no reply. I just stare blankly at the backboard.

My body was shaking. A chain of cogs that precisely interlock and rotate with each other. The dwarf’s expression is even ecstatic. It’s as if you and your lover are at the peak of their emotions, staring at each other and trying to get closer.

“Do you have the confidence to understand and create the concept of time, which divides a day into 24 hours and each hour into 60 minutes, and a machine that expresses that?”

The dwarf slowly turned his head to me. He tries to touch the cogwheel with very trembling hands, but stops himself.

Due to the characteristics of the dwarves, their attitude toward these types of items is different from that of any other race. Now Randol even kneels down with a more earnest expression than when he met his grandson.

“I have never seen such a beautiful machine. Even if I die, I will understand. Absolutely!”

Mechanical grandfather clock. The principle of the pendulum clock was invented by a Dutch astronomer and physicist named Huygens by applying the regular pendulum movement discovered by Galileo. Even in this world, a wind-up grandfather clock using brass gears is as simple as understanding the principle. It would have been possible to implement anything.

Especially if you are a dwarf who has been making elaborate crafts for over 200 years.

“great. Please come to the factory in a place called Deadran City for the time being. Please spread the technology you understand there and develop engineers. If you want, you can also bring your grandchildren. “The salary will be paid very generously.”

Randall nodded his head unconditionally with an expression as if he were fascinated. If I had shown this watch from the beginning, I probably would have jumped at it regardless of whether I was human or not.

But that is only a temporary interest in watches. Understanding and teaching this technology to human engineers is not my area of expertise nor do I have the time.

I’m also busy working at the restaurant and taking care of the dragon.

If we follow along as sincerely as we do now, we will be able to introduce watches to the world faster.

Leaving the dwarf, who was engrossed in the large grandfather clock, I approached Lurin, who had remained on the sidelines since the dwarf had not come out in defiance today.

Lurin was drawing a picture with a tree branch on the floor, probably because she was bored.

“What are you drawing?”

When I looked closely, it looked like a picture of a dish.

“It’s meat!”

I think that’s the correct answer. Rurin threw the tree branch and jumped up, clinging to me.

“hungry?”

“hungry. you. “Are you done?”

“huh. it’s over. great job. Let’s go back and I’ll give you a lot of the meat we just drew. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Oh oh! Meat, meat, meat, you, you, you!”

“Why me? “Do you want to eat too?”

“Hehehehe.”

Lulin smiled and used teleportation.

***

So how do we sell this to the nobles?

It is really troublesome to go to influential nobles one by one and sell them.

Even if I give one to the emperor, I want to encourage the rest to gather together and buy it all at once.

However, I have no intention of revealing my identity. That is truly an act of suicide.

Since there were such limitations, I had no choice but to get help from Medrine, who knew everything about the capital, to decide which method to use.

Of all the connections in the capital, Medrine was the one who could be used in utmost secrecy.

After arriving in the capital, we had a meeting at Medrine’s house. Of course, we here are just me, Lurin, and Medrine.

“What is this? The round part resembles a magic circle, but maybe... ?”

Medrine looked at the magic circle, curious as to whether it was a magic tool.

“Unfortunately, that is not the case. “This is something called a watch.”

“A watch?”

I slowly explained the principles and effectiveness of the clock. In a way, this watch is of great help to wizards.

Needless to say, the importance of measuring time in magic experiments is often important.

Therefore, Medrine’s face changed from disappointment that it was not a magic tool, and she looked at the gold-covered grandfather clock with great interest.

“Oh, that’s yours. It’s a gift. “I was planning to give one to the emperor and you in advance.”

“Thank you. “I will leave it in the magic tower and use it!”

Medrine answered with a happy face. But that’s not the point.

“Rather than that, isn’t there a way to sell all of this to the nobles at once? “It’s a good way to get nobles below the duke’s level to compete with each other to buy this.”

This was business. No matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of an event that would bring nobles together without revealing their identities.

Move the emperor or reveal his identity. In a situation where there were only two options, I asked with the hope that Medrin, who knew the situation in the capital well, might come up with another idea.

“Umm, I don’t know.”

However, Medrine, who had failed to meet her expectations, stroked her chin with an embarrassed look on her face.

“ah!”

“huh?”

“there is!”

Medrine clapped her hands and made a fuss. There is? It was something I was happy to hear, so I was pleased and asked back.

“What?”

“There is something called an auction in the capital. It was created after the war, and it is a place where each merchant travels around the entire continent and sells the precious items they have collected by first showing them to the great nobles. Coincidentally, an auction is scheduled for this month. Because I am also invited... .”

“Right.”

In any case, Medrine is also a count and is in line with a powerful duke, so of course she is a noble worthy of being invited. Why are you blurting out my words while looking at my eyes?

I nodded and asked for further information.

“How do I participate there as a sales side member?”

“I understand that any merchant registered with the merchant association can do so.”

“firm?”

“If you use the power of your family, it might be possible to make a solo exhibition, but... .”

“No, that’s okay.”

Naturally, you should be surprised and buy a watch, but it would be difficult if the halo of the duke’s name were attached to it. In any case, if you try to sell watches as a deadlock official in the future, it is natural that you will need a trading company, so just make one.

Since it wasn’t a difficult task, I nodded again.
