It would be impossible for an ordinary magecraftsman (magi-craftsman) to produce the same performance ...... as these two, but if the same materials were used, the price would be more than five times as much as Jin had offered.

He had asked in advance not to be conspicuous, so he did not have to give a speech, but after the Queen, the Prime Minister and then the Commander of the Kingsguard gave speeches, and in the end, Jin was held for about two and a half hours.

Najas Khan was to be Jin's ...... caretaker, or rather, his guide in the castle.

Najas wanted to ask Erza about healing magic.

"Yes. The annual year-end auction will be held in the royal capital the day after tomorrow, on the 15th.
When Jin heard about the auction, he was intrigued.
If there was something rare, it would not be a bad idea to buy it, he thought.

"Really. What kind of things will be auctioned?
"Well, last year I was checking for illegal items being traded, but there are no such items.
"......What kind of things are illegal?"

"Some rare plants and small animals, dangerous poisons, and state-controlled artifacts.
The most common type of artifact is rarely found, as it is easily traced, but protected plants are the most common.
"Poisons are the most troublesome, since they are sometimes disguised in such a way that they cannot be recognized."

"Well, last year, most of them were between 100,000 and 1 million dollars, and the highest price was 34,000,000 dollars, I remember. The highest price I remember was 340,000 dollars.
"I see."

Jin recognized that this was not an illegal auction, so the money was not too exorbitant.
"Besides, there should be some items sold at the flea market tomorrow and the day after tomorrow that are not worth auctioning off," he said.
A flea market, Jin thought. Jin thought.

Dinner that night was brought to the guest room where they were staying, so it was fortunate for Jin to be able to eat in peace and quiet.

The breakdown was as follows: 10% of the leading nobles, 50% of the fallen nobles, 30% of the wealthy merchants, and 10% of the foreign tourists.
The nobles were subject to reduction of their fiefdoms, demotion to knighthood, reprimand, and imprisonment.
