"His Majesty Mikhailinov Hangazone of Mercana, the King of Mercana, rules over the Principality of Mercana."
Yes.

Our country was formerly a colony of the Duchy of Jagus on the continent of Laurent.
Is that so? By the way, do you know the name of any other country on the Laurentian continent besides the Duchy of Jagus?
There are countries called the Duchy of Norway and the Duchy of Dalat. There is another kingdom beyond the mountains to the east, but I don't know that much about it. May I continue with ......?"

"Yes. Yes. I'm sorry for interrupting.
"Don't worry about it. If you have any questions, just let me know.
Thank you very much.

Jin raised his hand.
"Yes?"

"Do you know what year is used on the ...... Laurentian continent over there?"
Paelova Sondovik thinks for a moment before answering.
Paelová Sondovík thinks for a moment and then answers, "I think they use the continental calendar too. So our continental calendar is actually the Pandorian continental calendar, abbreviated as PC.

"So, what year is it in the other continental calendar?"
"Well, I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly, but it should be about 3900 this year. I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly, but it would have been about 3,900 this year.
"I see, but it was helpful.

Assuming 3900 years, it has been 441 years since Jin's arrival in 3459. 441 years have passed since 3459, the year Jin was born.
It would not be surprising if a new country has been established.
(Maybe it is the same world and we just came to the future.)

Jin has a glimmer of hope.
However, there was one thing that bothered him.
"Well, if the country is closed off, isn't information from outside of the country restricted?"

"That's right."
"So, the fact that you are telling it to me is ......."
Paelova Sondovik chuckled.

I knew it, Jin thought.

(Now he's completely taken in. ......)
There was no way for Jin to escape now. He thinks it would be better to follow him quietly for the time being.
And I will get more information if I do so.

"So, you cannot go back to Tajee Village anymore. No hard feelings. There are not enough mages in our country. The best mages must be managed by the state or the foundation of the nation will be shaken.
"...... understand."

On the surface, Jin nodded his head in agreement.
Paelová Sondovík sat back in her chair.
"Well, that's the way it is. If there's anything you want to know, I'll answer."

After finishing his discussion with Paelove, Jin returned to his room and was left alone to reflect on the events of the day.
Of course, he had been thinking about everything that had happened since the day he had woken up in the village of Tazy.
"Even though I didn't have any information, I guess I was a little too conspicuous, wasn't I?"

I think we went too far in repairing the village.
"But I think ......"
There are people in need, tools that are broken. And I can fix it.

I can't just stand by and do nothing in such a situation.
Well, as Kachair has told me many times, I have overdone it in terms of working hours, but...

"And then there's Lorenz. ......"
There was something fishy about that. But...
"Well, I guess I got a little carried away with the golem."

But it did give us an idea of the current level of technology and materials.
"And then there's Jed Alamordo.
What if he had refused at that point?

"He would have probably forced me to go with him.
Then, the current situation where we are being welcomed amicably is not the best, but it is not the worst. In fact, it is better.
We have gained some useful information, Jin thought to himself.

"But I didn't know that this continent is poor in magical resources. ......
This was the information he had just obtained.

Magi crystals and even magi stones are scarce.
No wonder the magic tools are so expensive."

The magical tool of the bathtub in the village of Tajee is said to have been used since the pioneer days.
Now that the country is closed to the outside world, they will probably never be available again.

Now that we know more about the historical background and the situation of the country, we can see some things.

"If there are few mages, does that mean that the Principality of Jagus is a country that came out of Mitsuho and Huso?"
Paelova did not know that either, so she would have to go to the capital to get the answer.

"The continent of Pandor was also the continent that was called the continent of Pandor on the Laurentian side, wasn't it?"
Either the name has changed over the years, or they have changed it a bit in their own way.
"In any case, the possibility that this is the future of Arus, where we used to be, has increased.

In that case, there is something to be concerned about.
"According to my memory, the continent closer to the Pandor continent is not the Laurent continent but the Rasil continent. ...... I wonder why they colonized this continent."
First of all, it is possible that they colonized the Rasil continent as well.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
The other possibility is that the Rasil continent is not suitable for colonization because of its lack of resources or dangerous wild beasts.
"......" Either way, that's not the problem.
This is another question for later, since it is not something that can be figured out by thinking.

The most interesting thing, that is.
"......What about Horai Island?"

This is the most important question.
If the old man is still alive and well, Jin, the creator of this site, thinks that the old man may detect Jin's magic power and approach him in some way.
However, he has not heard from the old man for more than 20 days since his arrival here. Jin is forced to wonder what this means.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
"Is it malfunctioning or stopped for some reason?"
Jin does not want to think about it, and it is hard to imagine.
It is hard to believe that Horaijima, which has been carefully built, would break down.

"If so, why on earth? ......"
The most likely scenario is <
It is not needed any more, so it stops functioning and lies dormant until the day when it is needed again.

"I guess that's possible," says the old man.
But then there is Elsa and the Jin family. And probably Jin's children and his children's children.
What does it mean to be no longer needed?

"That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out. ...... Then maybe our next goal is not to build a base, but to go to Horai Island. ...... No."
If this is the continent of Pandor like I thought, there should be a warp gate if we go to Mitsuho, Jin reconsidered.
"In any case, we must find a way to cross the sea.

At last, Jin had a concrete goal in mind.
