Chapter 168 – Lab
I opened my eyes to the warm body temperature felt in her arms and her scent.
The sunlight felt through the window was pleasant, and the cool breeze cooled the body.
“Yes… Woke up?”
“Are you awake?”
I looked at my older sister Grace, who had opened her eyes while being held in her arms.
Even her little swollen face looked cute. Actually cute
She put her hand on her sister’s face.
I pressed my fingers against her pale skin.
“Ah… I do not like it…”
Yes. Sorry.
Side!
“Whoops.”
When she kissed Grace’s sister’s lips when she opened her eyes, he smiled happily and hugged her tightly.
***
She stayed up until the morning with her older sister Grace and took a walk with her to relieve her stress.
She stayed with me like that, but she broke up right away because I had work to do.
Still, she didn’t want to break up, so we broke up only after promising to stop by one more time on the way back from the capital.
She was cute in a way that was uncharacteristic of a sister, but she seemed very anxious because of her pregnancy.
Although her father or older brother are taking care of her to some extent, it seemed to have limits.
She even asked her to visit Saren, who was not very close to her, once again.
“I should buy you a present.”
What is good for pregnant women?
To be honest, I think I’ll get them all at the family level and feed them…
“Oh oh! Mr. Leori Yiiik!”
“Whoa, fuck.”
Surprise
Thinking about something else, she walked down the hallway and was startled by a sudden scream.
Uncle Wen was screaming and running.
“Who is it… No, it’s Marlton.”
“Long time no see! Leoric!”
The one approaching with tears welling up was Marton, the director of the Franz Lab.
It’s been a long time, this guy.
Did you gain weight?
“How are you?”
“Me, of course! How are you, Leoric? Of course you’ve been doing well! Isn’t he the hottest person in the southern region these days, enough to know even me with dark outside rumors!”
There’s a lot to talk about, this guy.
“Nice! A newly born count in an era of chaos! How many decades has it been since, that a new family, a lineage that can be called a new family name, has been born! You are amazing!”
“Ah, that, yes… Thanks.”
I backed away a little at the appearance of making a fuss.
It’s too, too much… Suspicious.
“So what? Suddenly called.”
It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to do.
It’s better to just sleep than to talk while spitting with a middle-aged man.
Marlton grabbed my slightly retreating arm.
“Please! Please help me!”
“… What?”
“Keugh… ! Our lab budget is getting smaller and smaller!”
“… Aha.”
But.
I did increase a lot in my time.
It was only because I could afford it, and there was a part where I robbed myself of my own money.
It can’t be helped that it will decrease after I’m gone.
“Of course! Of course I know! But these days, the budget keeps being taken away for reasons like military expenses… !”
“No… Can’t that be helped?”
And if you come and tell me about the Franz family.
Seeing my lack of interest, Marlton opened his mouth in shock.
“Le, I thought Leoric-sama would understand!”
“I thought I didn’t give you that much either?”
“Magic Stone! Didn’t he give you a lot of magic stones!”
“Ah… It. That’s mine Oh right. I don’t have enough magic stones either, did you use all the ones I gave you?”
“Of course I wrote everything!”
Write.
Suddenly feel bad well, there’s nothing you can do about it
Still, the budget invested by the Franz family is quite expensive compared to other families.
“That is true! Still not enough!”
No, even if you say so.
What do you say to me
“Aidan hyung-nim isn’t that salty. If you speak well, you will get a budget.”
“If I had done that well, I would have done it a long time ago!”
I am proud.
Dump!
Marlton knelt down with a grim face.
“Oh, how, how can you say something!”
“Hey, see everyone else.”
“Jevaaal!”
No, do other people see it?
I was perplexed and looked around.
Soldiers and attendants passing by…
“Oh, that person is like that again.”
“To be a nuisance to Leoric-sama…”
“Should I tell Aidan-nim?”
I saw and understood people passing by, clicking their tongues.
Boy, you’re always like this!
“Did you do this to your brother?”
“Keugh! Aidan-sama also understands the progress of science, but I still can’t increase the budget… !”
“You are amazing too.”
You’re doing this in front of your brother.
No nobility? Don’t you have noble blood in your body too?
Didn’t you think your neck would fly?
“There is no pride in front of scientific progress!”
The sight of Malton shouting with his eyes shining is even frightening.
Look at those bloodshot eyes.
“How can I help you!”
“You want help…”
Mmm.
Or achievements.
“Have you made anything?”
“Did you make it?”
“Yes. What you invented
There has to be achievement, at least, to bring up the story.
At my words, Marton’s expression turned strange.
“You made it… What is the meaning of what has already been done… ?”
“… What are you talking about?”
Did you turn your head at all?
* * *
Even in this world, there is something called magic equipment.
Starting with the armor I used before, for example, for artillery fire.
It’s still very clunky, and in practice, the main uses are storage, emission, and amplification.
Uh… ? If there are 0’s and 1’s, this… ?
No, I’m not even science major. Heh Let’s stop confusing everyone with our useless thoughts. Even if someone you don’t know well said it, it would only confuse everyone.
Anyway, I went to the lab to play with Marlton.
“How about this one?”
Marton rummaged through the storage room and pulled out something.
This bastard… Those things rolling around in the warehouse look like magic stones. Are you putting it in storage because you can’t use it?
“Where are you writing it?”
Magic stones embedded in a square plate and spells used in this world? Language? The same thing was written.
The plate is almost the size of the forearm, so it is quite heavy.
“Look at the two facing each other like this.”
Marlton took out another one, put it face to face, and then created magic.
As Malton’s magical energy permeated the magic stone embedded in the square plate, the two plates began to resonate with each other.
“And one is Leoric-sama. If I pick up one and spread the distance like this…”
The distance widens with the plates shared by each other. When it was about 10 meters wide, Marlton brought the plate close to his mouth.
I hope this…
– Can you hear me?
“OMG.”
* * *
“Hoo. You can contact me remotely with this?”
Grabbing Multon by the scruff of his neck, he went straight to his father.
“Honestly, it’s not at a level that’s useful right now, but if the distance increases, I think it’ll be very useful.”
“That would be natural. The problem is the possibility of development.”
Potential for development in the world.
There’s one more problem with this.
“It’s alright because it’s a magic stone.”
It is material.
Even in modern times, I have heard at first glance that materials are a problem in the development of batteries. Even if you want to increase the mileage of an electric vehicle, there is no answer except to increase the capacity.
“There is a limit to the number of magic stones and magic stones.”
In fact, even on this continent with quite a history, there are no rumors that magic stones will disappear or that magic stones will disappear.
It’s expected, but maybe even if you use magic stones, they’ll be recreated somewhere.
In fact, it is not uncommon for people to suddenly be born with magical powers from livestock raised in the village.
In such cases, it usually ends in death.
Even if animals and monsters with magical powers are not fully grown, people will die and fences will be destroyed due to the actions of other livestock. Even if it’s not that, there are times when it suddenly emits sparks from its mouth one day.
But that’s what it is, and it takes time to actually put things back together.
Even in Franz, who is rich in magic stones, it must be difficult to use it like that.
“But it might be useful. It can prevent the situations we fear most.”
“I mean that.”
I immediately agreed with what Aidan said.
U.S.
No, what nobles fear most.
No matter how noble honor. Duties of the holder of magical powers. For various reasons, he receives mental education from a young age, but it does not work for aristocrats or those with mental abnormalities who recklessly run amok.
If they do not follow the procedure and go guerrilla alone. If we leave our domains for war or other reasons.
The people we need to protect are killed in an instant by such people, and it ends.
That’s why I thought it would have taken a long time for a power or a country to be created in this world.
Just as he protects only the followers who lead him within the influence he can use his hand, like the present territory.
“So, why don’t we take this opportunity to make a large research institute?”
“A lab?”
“This time, I’m fixing the land close to the great mountain range in various ways. How about that?”
I know the approximate location right away.
Because the part next to Gulan Mountain is all empty.
“Is it the land? Not bad.”
“It’s not too far from us, and it’s close to Franz as you can see it right after you cross the Gulan Mountain. Wouldn’t it be nice to keep a neutral position in the middle?”
And wouldn’t it be better to keep pitting them against each other rather than studying each other separately?
I think I saw it on YouTube too. It is said that more development occurs in cities with large populations.
“It is to create a new city.”
“City.”
“Basically, a research institute that covers everything from research on magic, magic crystals, and other sciences. A city for such people. How is it?”
And if it can be pioneered, it becomes another adventurer’s city like an adventure city.
And Franz’s trade routes are shortened.
Change the road that had to go back through Müller to go straight if Franz is the purpose.
My father nodded at my comment.
My older brother was laughing as if he had no other opinions.
“Good night. Even if it’s difficult right now, it won’t be bad if you proceed step by step.”
He nodded at his father’s words.
All the researchers united, starting with the red bloody Violet.
I think I can make it so that it can grind the ball properly.
“Uh… , Is it good?”
Marlton was watching this conversation with her goofy face.
“Yes. Because you can do research the way you want.”
“Oh, that’s great!”
Seeing Marton smiling innocently, he smiles evilly.
It’s not long before the graduate school meme spreads throughout the world.
