"Mmm-hmm. It looks like you can do a lot more than just use the furnace to make weapons and armor.

Of course, that it is. The man who used to live here was a senator for many terms and a good craftsman, that he was."

"I guess so. But is it possible for such a person's house to be put up for sale, even with the equipment left in it, just because he passed away?"

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

"Usually there is no such thing, that there isn't, but this place must be special. You must have had no choice but to give it up. Well, as long as it is for sale, no one should complain about you using the workshop, that they should not.

　The mansion in the Orient I'm buying.

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

　A reasonably large wooden house with a beautiful garden and a workshop at the back of the property.

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

　It is a solid structure, with facilities dedicated to the manufacture of weapons and the like.

　A councilor used to live here.

　When he passed away, the corruption was discovered and the family was charged a large amount of money for compensation, so the house was sold.

　However, the place itself is nice and the facilities are still there, so I guess other buyers will be found soon.

　I ask Banerji, who shows me around, to proceed with the purchase procedure immediately.

"But I didn't think that Mister Alphonse would like the workshop, that I didn't. Are you going to build something yourself, that you are?

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

"No way. I'm not that good. But I'm going to make good use of this workshop.

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

"Oh. May I ask how you plan to use it, that I may?

"Of course. I'm thinking of taking an apprentice here in the workshop. But it's not me, it's Ai.

"Ai-dono?　You have just assumed the chairmanship, have you not? And you are taking on an apprentice, that you are?　Or rather, what kind of apprentice are you, that you are?

"Of magic circle, Mr. Banagher. I'd like to have Ai here as an apprentice to teach others about the magic circle.

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

　The moment I said this, Banagher stopped moving.

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

　Banagher had always seemed a little depressed recently.

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

　Banagher's body trembled and his eyes suddenly became strong.

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

　He leaned toward me and asked me a question with his somewhat glazed look in his eyes.

What do you mean?　Teaching magic circle?　Why did you decide to do that, that you did?"

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

"Calm down, Mr. Banagher. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest one is to enhance Ai's reputation.

"The Eye?"

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

"That's right. Ai has just been appointed chairman of the Orient's parliament. However, he has no achievements yet, right?　So, I thought I would forcefully create a track record and enhance my reputation."

"I see. So it's a magic circle, that it is. I think ...... is not bad, that it is. The magic tools that I have been dealing with in this town so far, I have only sold them, and I have kept the place of manufacture secret, that I have kept the place of manufacture secret. That is because, except for the archon Orient, I did not make any of them. However, if you teach people about magic circles that they have never known before, your reputation will surely increase, that it will.

"Right?　I didn't pay much attention to it before, but people in this town have a different opinion of a person depending on whether or not he or she is a master craftsman. So I thought it would be a good idea to quickly prove how well versed Ai is in craftsmanship."

　In the family's workshop, Ai takes apprentices and teaches them about the magic circle technique.

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

　This should be a big hit.

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

　After all, people in this country still do not know how to make magic tools.

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

　The same was true for Banagher.

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

　After much research, Banagher created a weapon using magic circle called "Magic Bow Orient" from a special kind of wood called "Jumaki", but he was not able to create any other magic tools.

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

　This is because a magic circle is made up of a number of very complicated patterns, and drawing a magic circle with the desired useful functions requires a formidable amount of knowledge.

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

　Rather, the fact that Banagher was able to create even a single magic bow oriental alone is highly appreciated.

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

　What would happen if Ai were to teach such a magic technique in the workshop of this mansion?

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

　In fact, many of the people of the Orient have a somewhat unusual way of thinking.

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

　They tend to evaluate a person based on how good a builder he is.

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

　For example, no matter how well I perform on the battlefield, people in this country do not give me the highest evaluation.

　He is strong, but that's all he is.

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

　They will say behind your back that you can't even make a sword.

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

　But if I could make a sword with the best technique...

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

　They will say that he is a skilled craftsman, but also an honorable man who can play an active role on the battlefield.

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

　What I'm trying to say is that if you are not a highly skilled maker, you will never be truly appreciated in this country.

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

　I don't mind.

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

　But the aye should be appreciated by the people, that's for sure.

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

　So, I'm going to teach him the magic circle.

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

　Then, most of the high-class magic tools that have been spreading in the Orient will have been made by Ai.

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

　This would be the best achievement for me as the chairman of the council.

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

　Besides, I have been thinking of expanding the magic circle technology in this country sooner or later.

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

　For some reason, it is said that the Orient has always been a land of craftsmen.

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

　And that also means that there are many people who are craftsmen.

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

　It is true that magic tools using magic circle are being made in New Barca Town, but there is no sign of development from there.

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

　At any rate, they are made just as Ai had taught them to make them during the training sessions.

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

　But what about the craftsmen who have existed in this country for a long time?

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

　They may not be able to use the "practice" method in the first place, but I am sure that they will learn the way Ai taught them, and while using it, they will try various methods, changing it in their own way.

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

　This may lead to the development of a magic circle that Ai does not know about.

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

　That would not be a loss for me.

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

　If Ai sees this new technology, it will be stored as information.

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

　Thus, I bought a new house and asked Ai to open a school of magic circle technology there.
