The Man Picked up by the Gods

After dinner. I came back to the inn in a comfortable mood.

Give slime the ale we bought for the souvenir, and we'll tell the rest with one hand.

"It would be a good idea to outsource everything about Orgol"

"I knew it was reasonable."

I don't have enough hands on my own, and I don't have the expertise. But then there is the question of who to entrust it to. Even if we leave the sale to Mr. Serge and the Morgan Chamber of Commerce, what about the craftsmen?

"I have a lot on my mind, but why don't you speak to Lord DiNorm first? Arms do have knowledge and understanding of such magic tools from the development of magic cars. I was simply wondering if you liked new things, and if Master Lyoma had actually met him, there would be less anxiety."

"Sure...... wouldn't that be a burden over there?

"We'll take care of it there, but you'll be fine first. There are three disciples there, headed by Lord DiNorm. Besides, I could understand the structure of this orgol, so if you sell it out, there will be similar products out there soon.

We have a "patent” to prevent it and protect the rights of the inventors of technology and products... we talked about this waterproof cloth thing, right?

"It's okay."

Patents were explained, but they are no different from Earth's.

If you apply in an artisan guild and are certified, you will be able to control unauthorized use without other permission. However, to prevent unauthorized use, details of items and technologies used are communicated to the entire Artisan Alliance. This would also hinder control if information were not disclosed, so this diffusion of information cannot be rejected if it is to be applied for. And others can legally use the technology if they are authorized to pay royalties.

It is the freedom of the right holder to publish it as a patent or to conceal and monopolize it. In the case of a waterproof cloth, a sales channel through Mr. Serge was available, so I chose to keep it a secret for the reason that it was easy to secure customers there. Including a little hope that light will shine on the slime if the way it is made is broken.

"If Orgol can sell it, he starts to get his hands on it elsewhere. So it's unlikely that Mr. DiNorm's order will get us into trouble."

"You will be."

Mr Serge will come up with an opinion that an application should be made this time......

"Do you have any idea?

"You said you were curious... that you needed to register with the Artisan Guild to apply first, right?

"Yes, it is"

"I also say that I will register just for the application...... as you know, I am also enrolled in the Tamer Guild. But I don't have a job to hire. I'm a little sorry you don't work as a member but you belong..."

There were specialists in letter delivery who seemed to be able to make it a removable bird, not to mention the slime. I'm getting kindness from Taylor Branch Manager, but that doubles my apologies.

So if you're going to sign up, I'd like to do the minimum job...... but honestly, I have a hand in the store with an adventurer. I know I should be able to push it a little, but I have also been cautioned by the Duke's family not to push it. I'm not going to shake that off for you.

... I didn't expect you to think about this... can you do it if you can't do it a little bit in your previous life? Then let's get it cleaned up fast! That's what I thought. Will this grow?

"Yes, if you want to commission it anyway, could you finally apply to the person who will commission it? That'll make this one less laborious."

"It is… an application is possible. but... ummm..."

I suddenly have a head, is there a problem?

"Whoever the applicant is, there is no problem. But Lord DiNorm... can you imitate someone else's achievements! and slightly more likely to be rejected"

Is it a matter of pride?

"Besides, if you can stand for someone, it will no longer be Lyoma's right after you apply. In the worst case scenario, you might lose your profits, right? What do you think of that area?

"It depends on what the worst case scenario is..."

I don't have the right to receive the benefit if I stick to the rights holder. If there is, it is someone from a distant past life. I tried to imitate it here and we talked that it was going to sell. And there's no one to blame for that. I just got an even more shelved situation than the cleaner slime.

I'm not so obsessed with Orgol's rights and interests. However, neither justice nor pride combine to reject profits outright. The point is, if you have something you can use, use it. Not without it. Okay. I think it's bad for Mr. Serge, but personally, it's the way he sees it.

In time, if I were to answer Mr Serge's question…

"Regardless of who you end up with, you're not going to ask for so much profit. If the other person is a magic tool maker...... you will have what you need to do as an adventurer in the future. You can get in on a magic tool consultation at that time or give preferential treatment with the purchase of the product.

I don't mean to be ridiculous... but if the other person seems to respond too impolitely... I actually have another idea for a similar product. "

"... I guess not in the sense that the song is different"

"I haven't prototyped that one, and I don't know if I'm going to succeed. But if it succeeds...... it could be better than Orgol. To the point of devaluing Orgol."

Mr. Serge put his hand on his chin and seems to be rebelling against my words.

A phonograph and a record that I thought about a little bit in the store. Both of these are said to have been developed on Earth, after Orgol was developed, and to have been a substitute for Orgol until then. If I could have reproduced it perfectly...

"... are you saying that even if Orgol is deprived of his rights, there is a way to crush it..."

"It's only possible, that's all."

The phonograph is about as good as some magazines had an easy creation kit for kids on the appendix, and I know the structure there. There doesn't seem to be anything you can't make with magic. But the question is how do you make a record? That's ambiguous, and it's unclear how far you can reproduce it. There is no guarantee that something of a universal level can be made.

"If you can't fathom it...... it will be the result of my lack of vision, the sweetness of the outlook and my lack of strength for lack of knowledge. It will be then."

At the end of the day, we don't know what's going to happen unless we try.

Hearing that, Mr. Serge sighed heavily.

"Okay. Let's move on in that direction."

"Are you all right?

"I'm fine. But I was a little surprised."

... to what?

The question seemed to be on his face, and he laughed and opened his mouth.

"The same goes for having a better product idea than Orgol... I was surprised to see a strong opinion coming out of Lyoma's mouth about using it to take away their customers. I thought it would be easier to summarize the conversation."

"I prefer you for the basics, but you'll also take hard means. I don't deny that I was relaxed when I was attacked."

"You mean I'm still immature too...... a little bit, I seem to have misread it. But this is interesting again."

"What are you talking about now"

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Would there have been such an element? Or are you drunk?

That's what I've been talking about, and I'm worried about you, so I'm opening up today.

I escorted Mr. Serge to his room and confirmed tomorrow's appointment and returned to his room.

Next morning.

After a relaxing breakfast, the two of us roll out to the city and Main Street is showing more buzz than yesterday. We proceeded with more people on the narrow sidewalk where the carriage crossed right next door and finally reached Central Square.

"This is the venue of the regular city. Phew..."

Numerous tents can be seen lined up neatly in the square. No carriage boarding allowed. Luggage is transferred from carriage to manned luggage and pedestrians are free to walk between the tents.

"Husband there! Take a look at our store!

"Boy, we have some funny toys!

"Discover the latest designed magic tools purchased from Wangdu! Our products are on the cutting edge of the fashion!

"... you get lost with so many calls. What do you want to do from here?

"I always get to the point where I'm properly concerned... what is Master Lyoma looking for?

"Right... I don't have anything like this, but I'd like something useful next time I make a kamado in my house, or something that might be useful for building a scrap pit or traveling"

"Then let's look around appropriately, looking for magic tools like that"

Walk dangling between the tents.

"This place is full of farm tools, right?

"You're a farming tool endowed with the magic of physical strengthening. There is always a constant demand because magic makes it easier to work."

"Heh... looks like this could be used for maintenance"

"There you are. You want something?

"Do you have an axe for cutting trees and a sickle for mowing grass?

"There are several types of axes, but this is the only one with a sickle."

"Are you a sickle?"

"It's small because it's easy to use without having to grant it. I sold everything I bought."

... This is going to prune a wide area, should I get used to it while using it?

"It's okay. That big sickle and axe, and then... and that pitchfork too."

"There are two kinds of use of demon stones and your own magic, but which one do you prefer?

"With my own magic"

"29,000 suits, then."

"Now please follow me."

"Maido"

When I paid three small pieces of gold, I returned with medium silver coins.

Fill the item box with what you bought and go to the next store.

"What is this place?

There's a line of products I can't tell from just looking...

"Hmm... looks like this place is for vendors. This magic tool, for example, is a magic tool more used in architectural relationships."

Metal bars with seven round cobs at regular intervals. I wonder how we're going to use this?

"Each and every one of these round parts contains a“ breaklock ”of earthly magic that has changed its power. By using this against stones and walls in turn, we measure the strength of the object against earthly magic. Even if you use paint that is resistant to earth magic, if you leave it alone, it will degrade over time."

"Do you have tools like that?"

"By the way, the stone of Master Lyoma that you sold before. I checked that with the same thing, and it was quite resistant."

"You feel kind of nostalgic already"

"It hasn't been a year yet...... hmm?

"What's wrong?

"I found a store I care about"

After that, Mr. Serge leans back in front of the shop with several items on top of the rug in the corner of the square.

"May I see it?

"Yes!

The young man in the clerk seems nervous.

I see Serge indulging in the product with a serious face.

"... you grant this stone molar, spin?

"Yes! All that is here!

"Excuse me, but what about your workshop?

"I... nowhere now..."

Having heard that, Mr. Serge smiled and bought up a small stone molar to give him the paper he had taken out of his pocket. The man looks at it and bows his head deeply, dropping us off after the store...

"Mr. Serge, that would be heavy. I'll keep it in my item box."

"It helps."

"If that's about it. What about him, by the way?

"There wasn't a tent in his shop, was there? That tent is loaned by the city's steering committee to the workshops and shops that applied to open it. So not using the tent is a sign that you are personally opening a store. And it's also used to indicate" looking for an employer or a place to train. "

He was probably kicked out of some workshop because you were bad. Sweetness is still seen in the control, but the speed at which the stone molars are rotated is quite good. It seemed serious, and if you continue your training in the right place, it could turn into something. "

I found someone with a future, is that paper a reference?

"Exactly. DiNorm Workshop."

"... are you willing to let me create the power of a demonic car?

"In the future, you have expectations like that."

I know we're still ahead of us when we're hired, but are you telling me there's no loophole?

As we speak, we still walk around the City of Magic Tools.
