"...... So, our request has been approved. We will start construction next year.

"So, Jin, are you going to hire a contractor over there?" asked Reinhardt as if to confirm.

 Reinhardt asked as if to confirm.

"That's going to happen. "Well, I think we'll just leave the foundation work to the ."

 The foundation work is literally the <. Jin said, "I don't want to leave this to a human contractor.

"That's fine, isn't it? It's ...... but if humans are going to do the work, it's going to take ...... two years to complete? Three years?"

"I'm thinking of having a craftsman help us in the next six months."

 I'm thinking of six months,

"Well, it's true that the construction period is also important," said Reinhard.

 Reinhard said.

"No, that's not all. The Minister of Magical Technology told me that the civil engineering and construction industry has recently ...... started using golems since the <> disappeared."

"Hmph, so you can shorten the construction period?"

"No, it's not that simple."

"What?"

 Saki looks doubtful.

"It's good that you started using the golem, but it doesn't seem to be working very well.

"I see. You only use it to carry ...... heavy things, don't you?"

Reinhard, you're right. That's how it's done.

 So it also means that Jin is going to teach him how to use the golem.

That's good.

"That would be great. I also think it would be a good idea to make a magic tool that can use engineering magic for civil engineering and construction and lend it to him.

 Jin said that the use of magic tools that can be used for <>, <>, <>, etc., would dramatically increase the service life of buildings.

 These are the basic engineering magic for the people of Horai Island when they build.

"Yes, it would be no use at all if we can't use at least that much."

 Reinhard seemed to agree.

"So, I'll send a golem or automata site supervisor to ...... to train the builders and construct the building."

"Yes, I understand Jin's idea. It's good, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's a good idea. The Shoro Empire has asked us to do it.

Oh, I see.

 It is said that the royal family of the Shoro Empire has heard stories of what the Magecraft Meisters of the past have done.

 And this generation is no less ...... well, it's only natural, since it's him, but I've heard ...... that he's a magi craft master, so they're hoping for this kind of enlightenment.

"But you'll be free for the rest of the year, won't you?"

"Yeah. Yeah. Construction will start after the first of the year.

 In the meantime, Jin said, he would make a golem for the site supervisor and magic tools for civil engineering and construction.

"That won't take more than half a day.

"That's true, but..."

 Reinhardt interjected, and Jin nodded with a wry smile.

"Brother Jin, what about support for other countries?

 Erza asked.

"Yes. The Kingdom of Klein is still in the midst of the Toka-mura incident, and the Kingdoms of Egelea and Elias are sending disciples of Marcosius, so I don't want to get involved too much.

"Well, what about the kingdoms of Cerroa and Franz?"

"Well, what about the Kingdom of Celuloa and the Kingdom of Franz?" "If we're talking about those two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Celuloa is the more powerful one, so I'm more concerned about the Kingdom of Franz for now."

 Mitsuho is not a problem since it was originally outside of the .



"Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever met the upper echelons of the Franz Kingdom."

 Four hundred years ago, I would have known the king and former duchess (later the mother of the king) Lotharus de Lafayette and Catherine de Lafayette, but now I realized that I did not even know the name of the king.

"Old man, what is the current situation of the Kingdom of Franz?

 He asked the old man.

"I see.

It seems that the <<<< Magic League has been putting this country on the back burner, so there has been little damage and little impact.

"Kuhu, it was a shadowy country, wasn't it?"

 Saki, you are being very harsh.

<<< but the country is calm and there has been little technological degradation. It was a less technologically dependent country to begin with.

"As far as I know, it was an agricultural country.

 Vivian testified.

"Kuhu, that's true. There are mines, but I thought they were barely self-sufficient.

 Jin tilted his head at this report.

"Old man, is it because of the decrease in the amount of mining from the mines or because of the increase in consumption? Or is it because of the increase in consumption?

"Is it because of the technology used?"

<"At the moment, it seems to be used for the reconstruction of the technical facilities destroyed by the <>.

"Hoh."

 It seems that the Kingdom of Franz has managed to keep its own country together in its own way.

 That's interesting, Jin thought.

"If that's the case, I'd like to take a look around the Kingdom of Franz.

"I knew Brother Jin would say so."

 Erza, who was familiar with Jin's personality and behavior patterns, said with a laugh.

"I'd like to go there sometime during the year."

"Is that as a tourist?"

 Reinhardt asked,

"Yes, that would be nice.

 Reinhardt answered, "Yes, that would be nice.

"I would like to visit the Kingdom of Franz just as a tourist."

 Jin looked at Elsa and said, "Me too?

"Me too?"

"Yes. Let's go out together once in a while, not only for research.

"Yes, that would be great."

 So Jin and Erza, accompanied by Reiko and Hope, decided to visit the Kingdom of Franz.

 They departed on December 5.

 We decided to take the northernmost of the three roads connecting Klein and Franz. It is the most deserted road.

 We chose this road because we wanted to enter the Franz kingdom as far away from the public as possible.

 The reason we did not enter Franz out of the blue is that we wanted to make sure that we had the country at the border.



"When we went to rescue Zion's sister ...... Istaris a long time ago, we took the middle road, didn't we?"

"Yes, that's right. We crossed the border from Storsk to Gilohe.

"Oh, yes, that's right."

 That time it was a wagon pulled by a golem horse, but this time it's a golem car.

 The town on the Klein Kingdom side is Nyse, and the town on the Franz Kingdom side is Coco.

 Incidentally, the road between Nyse and Coco is through the coniferous forest, so it is difficult to be seen. Therefore, we have transferred the whole golem car by <>.

"We are almost at the border of the Klein Kingdom.

 In this era, border-crossing checks are more relaxed than they were 400 years ago. That's how peaceful it has become.

That's a good thing, isn't it?

Yes.

 We're almost at the border.
