"Hey, old man, here he comes!"

"You're early, kid. I called you, but I didn't expect you so soon."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you talking about? About what?　Did you succeed?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... yeah. Rejoice, my boy, your experiment was a success. This way, you can see for yourself."

　I was working in the city of Fontana when I received a call from an old man in Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He reported to me that the results of the experiment he had been secretly conducting were in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I came to Vulcania as soon as I heard the news.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had to check the results now, no matter what.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I walk after the old man.

　We proceeded to the off-limits area in the castle of Barca.

　Although I have risen to the rank of Prime Minister and Grand General in Fontana, I keep the most important things in Balka under strict control in Balkania.

　We proceeded to a particularly important and top-secret section.

"Kuhn."

"...... true. They're turning iron into silver. You did it, old man. This dog man is using alchemy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. This alchemy is no accident. I checked it many times before I called the monk. This guy can definitely turn iron into silver. You did it, kid. I didn't think you could do it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it is. Actually, I didn't think it would work either. But it's great that this experiment worked. It's a tremendous success.

　In the top-secret compartment I saw a white dog-man using magic to turn steel into silver, which he had made in the flaming blast furnace in Vulcania.

　Dogman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They used to appear in the mines of the Baltic knight territory ruled by my brother Byte, and I brought back a slightly different kind of dog-man with white fur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The dog-man had special magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A normal dog-man would use magic to change the shape of iron, but the white dog-man, whom I named Tarou, changed iron into silver.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since the purity of unrefined iron ore found in mines is low, and the only magic that can be used is to turn it into silver, which is difficult to use as a weapon, it seems that white dog people like Taro were in a lower position than normal black dog people, and they lived oppressed within the group of dog people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But for me, the ability to make silver was a very rare magic, so I had brought them back to Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And now, the old man had called me and I was looking at a dog-man who looked just like Taro, but was younger than Taro.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A white dog-man who was different from Taro.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A dogman who can use the same magic to turn iron into silver as Taro is right here in front of me like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That meant that Baruka could get more silver.

"You did it, Taro. You've got company.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kuhn?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I guess Taro doesn't know what I'm talking about. But that's good. He's just like you. He's a clone of Taro. He has the exact same genes as you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once I had the existence of Taro, I began to breed him in secret.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I soon ended up using Taro's alchemy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was all due to lack of money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I used the unprecedentedly high purity of silver that Taro had created as a show and issued Barca banknotes to borrow money from those who had money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Barka banknotes are just like government bonds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The balkan bank borrows money and repays it after a certain period of time with an interest rate determined by the bank.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To guarantee their ability to repay the borrowed money, they used pure silver made by Taro.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this is a very dangerous practice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I lose Taro for some reason, or if I cannot obtain the pure silver, or if the management of the territory goes wrong, there is a possibility that I will not be able to repay the loan immediately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this reason, I was wondering if I could somehow secure a being who could use the same magic as Taro.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, I thought that if Taro would give his name to humans and Valkyries, the humans would be able to turn iron into silver as much as they wanted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, that experiment failed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So he took a different approach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That was the experiment of cloning Taro.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He asked his brother Baito to secure a new live dog person for him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we could have obtained a white dog person, there would have been no need to conduct the experiment, but what we found was a normal black strain of dog person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, we procured the black canines.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The cloning process was based on my memory of my previous life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I do not know the details of the cloning process.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I remembered some vague knowledge I had heard somewhere, and used it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　First, I prepared unfertilized eggs from a female black dog-man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The unfertilized eggs were removed from the mother and placed on a glass petri dish that I had a glass artisan make.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, the nucleus in the center of the unfertilized egg was removed with a glass dropper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was a very detailed work, but I did it with all my magical power concentrated in my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The unfertilized egg with the nucleus removed was filled with tissue cultured from Taro's cells.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The resulting unfertilized eggs are then returned to the female's mother to give birth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The idea was that a clone based on Taro's genetic information might be created in this way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, cloning was not so easy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably, it was because it was done by an amateur without proper knowledge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, we did not give up and tried again and again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And we succeeded this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The secret of success lies in recovery magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tried many things, but the clone who succeeded this time used recovery magic during the experiment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The recovery magic is an extraordinary magic that can even regenerate lost limbs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He applied such an incredibly effective recovery magic to the unfertilized processed eggs, and then returned them to the mother's body to make her pregnant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is possible that the unfertilized eggs that had been improperly processed may have been restored to a state of normal growth by the restoration magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it was undeniably born as a white dog-man who inherited Taro's genes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And as an individual who can use alchemical silver magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You can do it, old man. With this method, we can increase the number of white dogmen. That means we can mass produce silver.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. That's right, kid. So that means ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... let's make silver coins. Because there's a lot of noise outside the Kingdom of Fontana. Maybe there will be a problem with the circulation of our currency. We should have a reliable currency before that happens."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The old man and I look at each other and nod.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Taro's clones can continue to increase steadily, this top-secret section of Barka Castle will literally become a hidden silver mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no way we can avoid making use of the silver.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We will continue to use it as collateral for the bank notes of Barca and also create a new currency.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, it was decided to build a mint in Barca to create a new currency.
