Magi Craft Meister

Old man began to explain everything he knew about the speciality of the Principality of Jags.

"We did some research on the Peeping Telescope (Peeper), but we don't even know what people are thinking, so maybe there's a mix of guesses."

and foreshadow.

"The current Duke said Niestro Kirillo Jags, named after Niestro Armazov Jags, who had occupied the Mercanese territory in the past, also known as Niestro II"

By the way, Niestro Armazov Jags was also known as the 'King of Conquest', said Old Master.

"Hmm...... I see"

"Niestro II also seems to be quite an ambitious man"

"Looks like it."

The recent incident in which a group named the "Revolutionary Party" was increasing brainwashing slavery in the Principality of Mercana.

The mastermind is probably from the Principality of Jags, but so far we have no clue.

Even though you're old, you're not paying attention to Mori Luo Wan on Ars.

"I haven't found the example 'Masked Man', but it's possible that it's 'Automata'."

"Huh?"

"Consider the breadth of its scope of action and how quickly it travels, how to erase traces, etc."

Old man said the speculation comes from the fact that tracking and investigating humans by standards doesn't grasp anything.

"Well, if that's what you think, maybe it's not out of place."

'I'm afraid. … So we can observe what's going on in the country of the Principality of Jags with the Peep Peek Telescope, but depending on that, we found the unusual fact that there are no dissatisfied citizens'

That's where the fact of 'brainwashing' came from.

"Brainwashing..."

Jen recalled that when he was in modern Japan, he read an article written about an event that was in the era of Showa.

"Everybody work. Everybody can live the same life." "A peaceful country without strife or anything."

The fan of putting up a tagline such as, let's go to Ideal Home.

But there was no freedom in that ideal place.

And creativity and productivity......

"The dictatorship says, 'There is no dispute in our country. There are no dissatisfied molecules..."

Reinhardt said it was pompous.

Brainwashing is worse than dictatorship.

Jen also shrugged with a smile on his face.

'We brainwash and let them labor, but the content is decent. Instead, I think it's because if you do something that will crush you, you will run out of human resources.'

"I guess so."

Still, Jen was angry that it was not human life to eat, work, and sleep only three times a day.

It could be worse than a black company's livestock.

'No entertainment, no extra expenses, the domestic economy is devastating'

"I guess..."

Reinhardt sighed.

"The economy is made up of consumption."

'Yes. As Lady Reinhardt said, the economy within the Principality of Jags is terrible. Trading with foreign countries is mostly barter.'

Old man said the exchange of cereals and products is the main thing.

'There were other arts and crafts traded, and somehow they seem to have a higher ratio than cereals'

"That's strange."

Reinhardt looked surprised.

"Is it something that allows artistic activity in such a controlled society?

"I agree with Reinhardt. Even if there are people who are not brainwashed, and these people do creative work, I don't think they can make a lot of work."

"Totally."

Jen and Reinhardt nodded.

"In that, art sells... no, I don't think I have any art to sell..."

It was a problem that I had to tilt my neck.

"Brother Jin, Brother Rai, not the value of art itself, what if?

Elsa gave her opinion.

"... what do you mean?

"For example, there's something in the artwork, or..."

That's what Jen came up with first.

"Drugs!

Jen once knew a smuggling organization that had imported and exported drugs with that hand in television dramas, novels, comics, etc.

Jen also remembered information about drugs that had no adverse effects on her body.

What about the possibility that you're exporting drugs like that?

Old man answered immediately.

'It's possible. But we couldn't find anything like that from what we looked at in the Peeping Telescope.

"Right..."

Jen was disappointed. but Elsa mouths the next thought.

"Then what are the materials for that work of art?

"Oh, did you have that too?"

Jen still remembered reading an interesting episode of the history of science when he was in modern Japan.

It imports a large number of test tubes stuck together under the name 'O O's of air' to escape tariffs or export regulations in countries that wanted glass test tubes.

Customs could not impose tariffs on the air, so the country that bought them got quality test tubes cheap......

It seemed to be something like that.

That's why I noticed the possibility that the materials that make up the artwork were something special.

'No, wood, stone, metal and, although not particularly rare materials'

"Right..."

If it wasn't for this line, whatever the hell it was, Jen tilted his neck.

"Are there any letters planted in the artwork?

"There was nothing like that."

"Actually, is it a really popular product or something?

'No, after I brought it back to each country, it seems to be dead'

"Hmmm...... I don't know any more"

The old man asked me to look again at what was going on with that work of art in various countries, but it had been kept dead almost without exception.

Exceptionally, two or so likes seem to have bought it, but it is truly a rare case.

"What is the line of pure generosity......?

'It's not a zero possibility, but if you look at the unsatisfactory response on the part of the Principality of Jags, I don't think so'

"Right..."

Jen thought there might be something missing, but I didn't think of it any more.

"But hey... I'm here to buy it at my own risk, so there's got to be some reason."

'I'm sure of that. I just don't know if I have enough data to conclude.'

"Then we need to focus on collecting data."

"You're right."

I promised to investigate further and you finished your report. [M]
