1983 - - 52-55 After the ceremony
Jin began by explaining the gift from <>.
"...... Two generic golems. These are the standard items currently used in <>."
The two golems that had been brought to the training hall were projected on the large magic screen.
The crowd let out a roar of excitement.
"...... Unfortunately, the technology in the world today has < a bit, so this is one of the best in the world."
The groans grew louder.
Waiting for it to die down, Jin began the next part of his explanation.
"Three golem horses. They are golems, which means that they do not get tired, do not get sick, are resistant to heat and cold, and are five times stronger than ordinary horses. In other words, one golem horse can pull a carriage of four horses.
Now a golem horse was shown on the screen.
The audience gasped as they watched the video and listened to the explanation. Seeing this, Jin said
(Ah, the general public has lost this kind of knowledge, hasn't it?)
(Oh, the general public has lost this kind of knowledge).
"And 10 short swords and 10 long swords. This needs no explanation. <, but I assure you that the quality of the steel is among the best in the world."
The last of the gifts from <> is a refrigerator and a stove.
"A refrigerator and a magic stove, no more explanation is needed. They are more user-friendly than the previous ones.
Finally, Jin began to explain his gift.
"First of all, we have the <>. This was made with the help of <>'s friends, Eira and Kaechea. As the name suggests, it can normally run on land as a car, but when the need arises, it can also run on water as a boat.
Jin thought it would be impossible to carry this boat, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was loaded on a large cart.
(Ah, the kind that carries logs and stones.)
Jin recognizes the truck's identity. The sight of the amphibious vehicle drew even louder gasps from the crowd, followed by applause.
"...... is amazing, isn't it?
"It is indeed the work of a magical engineer, the MagiCraft Meister.
There were whispers of amazement among the cabinet members.
"......Next is the Samurai Golem <. I made this one with the help of my friends Eira and Kaechea from <>.
When their appearance was projected on the large magic screen, there was an even louder gasp.
"Oh, wow!
What is that color? You don't think it's a ...... sapphire?
"Did you process such a huge sapphire? No, a magical engineer, a Magecraft Meister, would have ......
"As you can see, most of it is made of sapphire. As you can see, most of them are made of sapphires, but they have all the skills of a maid of honor.
Jin assured me that they were made of sapphires, and the crowd's reaction grew even louder. It was more of a cheer than a groan.
"If you leave it as it is, it will sound too hard, so we put clothes on it and shoes on it.
These words were followed by thunderous applause.
"The last one is a warrior golem. Unlike the first two, this one was made by myself and my disciples.
The ministers, aware of the new king's fondness for these battle golems, leaned forward.
"The technique was abandoned more than a hundred years ago, but myself and my disciples rediscovered it and sublimated it. In other words, it works in a completely different way from the that is currently the mainstream."
At this point, those with a keen intuition guessed that the technology had died out because of the <>.
Some of them were curious to know what a "completely different system" was.
(I wonder what kind of method it is. ...... I'd like to hear about it later.)
(What kind of method? I'd like to hear about it later.) The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magical Technology, Citranella de Zaus Firenziano, is the first person to be appointed to the Ministry of Magical Technology.
(I'm sure you'll learn a lot about <, the third generation of the "Magi Craft Meister" mentioned in your ancestor's diary ......).
She is 31 years old this year, but she is ambitious and has become the undersecretary of the Ministry of Magical Technology, even though she is a woman.
No, the same goes for the Minister of Magical Technology, although she is a woman.
Fiorina de Dorante is 40 years old this year. She is very competitive. Thanks to this character, she has beaten male technicians to the top of the technical profession.
(...... Interesting! I'd love to see him compete with my latest golem!)
I'd love to see my latest golem compete!
And the new king, who loves golems for combat, had similar thoughts.
After the applause and cheers that shook the drill hall had died down,
"Brilliant! Jin, I have indeed received your gift!
the new king shouted from his seat.
The cabinet members were in an uproar at this unusual event, and the Prime Minister, who was also the host of the meeting, coughed once.
"Well, then, the Minister of Magical Arts and Technology will give a general review: ......."
Before the Prime Minister could finish, Fiorina de Dorante, the Minister of Magical Technology, ran up to the podium.
Jin failed to find the right moment to get off the platform and remained on it.
Regardless, Fiorina began her comments.
I am Fiorina de Dorante, Minister of Magical Arts and Technology! Magecraft Meister, your skills are absolutely amazing!
At that moment, she took Jin's hand. And then..,
"Jin-dono, I will surely make efforts for the development of magic technology in order to repay your kindness.
The audience applauded and cheered again.
The audience applauded and cheered again.
Then Fiorina let go of Jin's hand,
"The technology of Avalon is also well above the average of this world. I hope that our country will learn from them and aim for further development. ......
He spoke rather quickly, with his honest opinion.
"......That's all for now, Fiorina de Dorante, Minister of Magical Technology."
When he had finished, he bailed and was greeted with thunderous applause.
Jin and Fiorina walked down from the platform side by side.
(What can I say, ......, you're a hot guy.)
That was Jin's first impression of Fiorina de Dorante.
Yes, with this, I would like to conclude the ceremony commemorating the accession to the throne of His Majesty the new King of the Kingdom of Elias.
The words of the Prime Minister, the presiding officer of the ceremony, echoed through the parade ground.
Just as Jin was about to sigh in relief that this was the end.
I would like to take this opportunity to conduct a mock battle between our latest model of battle golem and the warrior golem that has been donated to us.
echoed the words of Fiorina de Dorante, Minister of Magic and Technology.
The audience, who were getting ready to leave, stared at the large magic screen.
There, the warrior golem donated by Jin is projected.
(Well, it was a donation, so it's not for me to say anything about it.)
I don't think it's necessary to inform the public that the golem of the Elias Kingdom is inferior.
Since yesterday, we have seen several times the golem made in Elias.
They are not even close to the warrior golem we donated this time.
Jin thought that even the latest model would be no match for them.
"Jin-dono, I'm sorry to trouble you, but please determine the master-slave relationship of the golem now.
At the same time, Jin was summoned by Citranella, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic and Technology. Certainly, if we are going to have a mock battle, we need to determine the order of precedence of orders.
"Yes, sir."
Jin decides to go to the place where the golem is located. Reiko follows him this time.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Magical Arts and Technology, Undersecretary, is that correct?"
Normally, the Commander of the Kingsguard could be the second in line. Or even the queen.
But the new King of Elias nodded his head and said that would be fine.
(Well, he also wants this golem to be a technical reference, so he should welcome it even if a technical person comes first.)
Jin thinks so,
<> 1st, His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Elias. 2nd, His Excellency Fiorina de Dorante, Minister of Magical Technology. 3rd, His Excellency Citranella de Firenziano, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magical Technology."
And he ranked them as he was told.
"Mm, okay. "
Immediately, the new king activated the warrior golem.
"Yes, master."
"Yes, master. Your name is Volk.
"Yes, my lord. I repeat, my name is Volk.
The new king named,
"Alright Volk, let's see what you can do. All right, ......."
He says.
"Yes, sir."
I didn't catch the last words of his command, but anyway, the New King ordered a mock battle with a battle golem prepared by the Minister of Magical Technology.
The crowd was delighted.
