Chapter 300 – 70. Money. (2)
The Magical General Store is closed indefinitely.
〈 Thank you to all of you who have been using the Allen Magic General Store. 〉
– I hear the general store is closing?
– Why all of a sudden?
– Mr. Bell, then where can I get the tonic?
– I really need to buy the potion right now.
– They ran out of them long ago! Right now I’m sticking with more money, that’s it.
Vermandois was in a frenzy at the news of the closure of the grocery store. Why do you suddenly close the door of a popular general store? However, to say that something went wrong, other businesses are running smoothly!
Suspicions continued to grow, and rumors spread that it was because Danju Allen impregnated Elena, the deputy manager, and Elizabeth, the elegant wizard, at the same time. With two key personnel missing, there is no way the general store can function properly.
However, rumors of such a cadara were soon crushed by the influx of massive shipments.
– Danju Allen and Danzo Granzo are trying to develop something amazing!
– Did you see the stuff going into Allen’s hideout?
– I heard that the shipyard and workers are gathering a lot right now?
– Why are they?
– Why would you collect them? I’m thinking of making a boat.
– Ship? Are you going to do something in the river?
Of course, no matter what others guess, Allen Ajit’s magic workshop is developing more than you can imagine.
After a month and a half of full-scale development, the development team, who had been stuck in a workshop all day, finally succeeded in designing a magic circuit that floats in the air!
“This Sea Pearl, you succeeded!”
Scone, whose white beard and gray hair had been a mess, was delighted like a child when the design succeeded after numerous attempts. … On the way to this point, I don’t even know how many magic spheres I’ve consumed. Even with rough calculations, he must have burned tens of thousands of gold coins in just one month.
But they are just taking the first step in a long journey. … There was still a long way to go.
Prophet Alloa and campfire Asmond, who were put into development, and Grenzo’s daughter, Rosane and Grenzo-two wizards belonging to the mercenary group, also spurred development by eating and sleeping in the workshop with the people who opened the door. The circuit design was successful, but the efficiency was still too low and it needed further improvement.
“Hey, Asmond! Did you do your job?”
“Now, wait a minute!”
“Daughter. If you do it this way, you twisted the circuit! How many times have you made the same mistake, huh?! My mana understanding is still poor!”
“Sorry, Father.”
“Elizabeth, where did he go again?!”
The development team gave up even real human life and poured their all into the development of the floating machine. If they really saw the possibility of raising even the smallest efficiency, they would spend days and nights trying to achieve it.
The first prototype was finally completed!
Of course, since it’s a prototype, it’s size is only about two or three adult men. The shape of the floating ship was also not yet a concern, so the appearance was similar to that of a small boat.
Allen Danju, the development team gathered in the front yard of the hideout, and a few crew members waiting in case of an unexpected accident.
“Then, let’s go!”
The Scone old man, who rubbed his palms with eyes full of anticipation, attempted the first challenge of this monumental moment… !
“Oh, it’s floating! Wake up! I succeeded… !”
And it pops and explodes nicely in the air!
Evil.
The pieces of wood scattered in all directions bounced off with a ting-ting sound, blocked by the magic shield.
As the white smoke slowly dispersed in the wind, the wreckage of the failure lay miserably on the floor.
Long silence.
Just then, Allen laughed and clapped.
“Still, it’s hot! Half done!”
The money ghost of infinite positivity.
“Okay, then let’s go back to the beginning and start again!”
… Devil… !
Even Granjo Danju, the fire-ghost who laughed haphazardly, felt goosebumps at Allen’s remark!
“Oh, don’t worry about money and materials! We will give you as much as you want!”
Now the developers are more afraid of that. Do it until it becomes real.
Of course, pouring water into a broken dock called Allen won’t make you feel sick… , But isn’t it that I’ve been saving money so hard to spend at a time like this!
So, the development team held back tears inside and returned to development without a promise.
And only after one flotation experiment, some realized that tremendous development was taking place beyond their imagination.
– A flying boat is being developed!
They said Allen Danju was firmly insane. I knew how to do shipbuilding until I built a boat, but I never really imagined that I would make a floating boat.
However, when they saw the money ghost pouring in astronomical amounts of money, they knew that it was not an ordinary resolution. So isn’t that why the magic general store, which lays golden eggs, is putting all its efforts into development while suspending business! Even the infernal Granzo Danju joins in!
– … Are you really making it?
– Oh no way. Anyway, how does the ship fly through the sky?
– You never know! Are you a wizard
– Even if you’re not a wizard, you know that, asshole!
Public opinion was mixed. The side that might be, and the side that can’t be said.
Of course, whether or not Vermandois is far away, a huge amount of logistics is pouring in. While the Viola-Mercenary Corps, which specializes in the logistics industry, even organizes a special group that transports them directly to Allen’s magic workshop.
And as much as the huge amount of logistics was pouring in, the cost recorded on the account book every month was astonishing. Every time I see that, Allen feels like his life-like cock shrivels.
While the development team was immersed in the development, pouring tears and runny nose, Allen also ran from place to place.
In particular, he went to the city where the ore of the magic sphere was mined, and even set up a negotiating table directly with the lord of the castle.
It wasn’t simply because of buying a large amount of magic spheres, but to rent out the vein itself.
This alone cost 20,000 gold coins per month. Of course, the real price of this mine is also lowered as much as possible! Fortunately, because the lord of the castle was an inspiration deeply loyal to the empire, he had a good impression of Allen who protected the empire.
To process and transport the mined minerals, Charlotte-Mercenary Corps was in charge of half and Viola-Mercenary Corps was in charge of half. Literally, the two mercenaries decided to go back and forth alternately without rest.
In addition, since monsters often pop up in and out of the Magic Orb Ore Mine near the Devil’s Edge, Allen had the water mage Pickbass-Mercenaries stationed there. I don’t want any disruption to the ore mining.
And when all of that was roughly outlined, the second prototype experiment was finally ready.
The development team’s appearance was much more miserable than the first test a month and a half ago. At the same time, a face full of hope for the success of this prototype.
“Then, let’s begin… !”
With half worry and half expectation, Elena, the red-haired wizard, activated the mana circuit.
Soon, with the sound of an operating sound, a small floating boat like a small boat slowly began to rise into the air.
Oh… , Oh oh!
Fortunately, this time the amount of mana was not excessive, so no explosion accident occurred. However, the output is a bit low, so it doesn’t float for long and sinks to the ground quickly.
… Although it was a bit lacking, it was definitely a success.
“You did it!!”
Asmond the campfire cheered as he knelt down and raised his arms to the sky. Tears of emotion flowed down the stream!
How many shouts at Old Man Scone and Granzo Danzoo during development! If it increased lifespan, it would live hundreds of years more!
Not only Allen Danju, but everyone present cheered and clapped loudly, forgetting face.
The money ghost sent infinite congratulations to the development team, saying that they had a lot of hard work.
… However, we are now only two steps away. In fact, it is far from clear how many more steps are needed to launch the huge ship that is currently being built.
“Ruler! Everyone! There is still a long way to go! Let’s go back to the beginning, and this time let’s launch a bigger ship!”
Laughter that slowly fades away. Conversely, the smile of the money ghost gradually deepens.
Allen really got all the ingredients that could be found locally.
There were well over a thousand magical spheres stored in the warehouse, and just in case, he piled up a mountain of wood from various regions in the east, west, south, and north.
Not only that, but it had all sorts of plants and animals, as well as all sorts of minerals and soils, that might be used in circuit design.
There’s human hair, blood, grime… , And even semen and fuck rice!
It would be right to buy everything that money can buy.
“Say anything you want!”
Now, Allen’s money seems to have gone mad at first glance.
“There is still a lot of money! So, no matter what I do, I’ll save them all!”
Wahaha, Allen laughed loudly.
… Ah…
Now, even the red-haired wizard has become a contemplative person.
It was only then that the wizards realized what it meant for money ghosts to spend money.
The race that started with emotion turned out not to be a flower field, but to hell.
