Jin was curious to know who the 4 principality's business partners were.

The answer was given by the brain of Horai Island, Lao-kun.

"Is that so? ......"

It was possible.

Or rather, Jin thought, if one country sold weapons to both of the opposing countries, it would be a merchant of death.......

>.

"I suppose it is."

The fact that a garrison is located there is also telling.

Most of the wheat consumed in < is imported from the Principality of Mimaka.

"I see. That would seem to be the case, given its location."

They were brought in by ship.

<

"Oh, that's going to be expensive. ......"

Even Jin, who was not familiar with economics, could understand that the transportation cost would be very high since it would be all overland.

.

The old man adds a note.

"Of course they do."

The four duchies are not closed off from the rest of the world, so there is nothing to stop the merchants from passing through.

"So the golem of the Duchy of Norway was made in the Shoro Kingdom?"

Reinhard said.

"I suppose so."

Jin agrees.

<, would not be able to export the golem.

"If that's the case, I wonder who is making those golems?　Maybe they're just getting rid of inventory or ......."

It is true that the V2 model had a few features that seemed to be in the Shoro style, Reinhardt said.

"But to sell such a low-performance golem, ......"

Reinhardt was a little disappointed that his country's merchants might be dishonest.

The old man started to explain.

High performance golems are expensive.

The Duchy of Norway, whose main industry is agriculture, does not have the financial resources to purchase many expensive Golems.

Therefore, they had no choice but to purchase older golems.

<

"Certainly, the judgment and response capability of the robot when it was used against Manon was higher than the performance of the body.

The old man's explanation seemed to make sense to Jin.

"But it is not cheap to replace the control core, is it?

<

"Oh."

The Shoro Empire has a in their ranks, so they seem to know what's going on there.

"Who is this merchant?"

<<<

"Teclez?　......Tecles I heard somewhere......Tecles......Tecles......Tecles......Ah!　Mr. Eckert's place!"

Jin remembered.

Ekarto Tecles.

He was originally a big merchant in the southern part of the Kingdom of Cerroa, who spent his own money to build a large, state-of-the-art ship for the time, and started to transport goods by sea.

However, the king of the time unreasonably confiscated his ships and property, and he went into exile in the Kingdom of Shoro. He was employed as an economic advisor.

His son, Michel, came of age and established a trading company.

"I've heard that name for a long time. ......"

It all started when Jin, who wanted to make a cat golem, heard from Vivienne that there was a merchant who owned a cat and visited him.

Later, struck by his passion for the boat, he sent <> as an engineer to help him complete it.

"I see, so this is the trading company run by Mr. Eckert's descendants."

"Oh, there it is."

Reinhardt knows that city.

Ordone is a city in the southern part of the Shawlo Empire, and the area that includes Lake Wass is ruled by Elsa's maternal family, the Richters.

"My uncle used to love me."

Hearing the familiar name, Elsa joined the conversation.

"My uncle's name is Burroughs Richter von Arabus. He was a viscount and your mother's brother.

He was not blessed with children, so he took good care of his sister Marlene's children, especially Elsa, even though they were not related to him by blood.

The "Mere Old Man!

"I'm getting a little off track here, old man. Tell me about the last country, the Duchy of Jagus.

What I am talking about now is which of the four duchies is the business partner.

Jin returned to the topic.

<

"I suppose so."

>

"Oh, I've heard a little bit about that before. ......They're in seclusion, and they have a <> in the provincial city of <>, right?"

<> to be exact.

"But still, the transportation is by land or by air, right?"

<

In any case, the distance is quite long and the cost of transportation must be ridiculous.

In any case, it is a long distance and the cost of transportation must be ridiculous.

And the product of the Duchy of Jagus is grain.

<

"So it comes to that ......"

Jin bit his lip bitterly, "Dumping is only possible because they are brainwashing the people.

"I see."

Jin thought that perhaps he should be praising the Duchy of Norway for not being attacked and destroyed.

"So, where does the Duchy of Jagusu get its golems from?

The old man began to explain.
