He was curious about the connection between the treasure chest in the Duchy of Dalat, which seemed to have been made by Jin, and why <Regulus 48...... a.k.a. Garius at that time made <>. Jin, who was curious about the connection between the treasure chest and why Garius, who was commonly known as <> at that time, had created <>, asked the old man through Reiko at night.

Since past events are often revealed to the public, the old man is supposed to explain only when there is a possibility that Jin may suffer a great disadvantage or when he is requested to do so.

* * * * * *

It was a time when the four principalities were not yet established as principalities.

The frontier territories were ruled by the revolutionary pioneers.

The territory was not very profitable, though it was ruled by them.

At best, the ruling class used the working class for labor. Since there was no economic activity, it was impossible for the ruling class to accumulate wealth.

However, even with this, there is a gap between the rich and the poor.

Since the land was fertile and the more the land was cultivated, the more the harvest increased, it can be said that the period from the early to the middle of pioneering was a period of expansion of agricultural land.

The agricultural land was supposed to be basically owned by the pioneers.

However.

"...... treatment. Sure, I'll take 100 kilos of wheat. I'll take it for 100 kilos of wheat."

"Oh, you are badly hurt?　Yes, it's life-threatening. I'll take 500 kilos of barley, if that's all right."

A good harvest means an overabundance of crops, which means a drop in value.

This was a kind of inflation.

"......We already have enough wheat in our warehouses. ......"

"Don't say that!　My child has a fever and I'm in trouble!"

"Mmm......"

"Please, I'll do anything!　Please, I'll do anything! Please, I'll do anything!

"......, okay, fine."

"Well, ......"

"Mm. When the child is cured, send him to me."

What about ......?

I'm going to use him as a servant. Not bad, huh?"

Instead of paying him in produce, he would send his sons and daughters to serve him.

But that, too, has its limits. .......

They were forced to give up some of the land they had cleared, and the labor to tend it. .......

Before long, the aristocracy and the working class were established.

As you can see, many of the aristocrats were able to use healing magic to some extent.

In other words, the majority of them were members of the .

< was a kind of status.

The lineage was inherited and fixed.

I see.

"I see. ......"

<>

"In short, they did not want outside interference.

Many of the pioneers were originally from Mitsuho, and many of the settlers from the were not good at magic, so those who could use healing magic were very precious to them.

"What did you do with the healing magic tools and medicines?"

"As far as I'm concerned, ...... they wanted to dominate so badly?"

And then the old man went on to tell the rest of the story.

* * * * * *

And the year 3751 of the Laurentian calendar.

The world had settled down and was running reasonably well, despite the differences in status.

However, the principle of the is .

Since they are in the ruling class, their contacts with the congress countries are naturally becoming weaker.

However, the old man has been gathering information about this territory since the beginning of his pioneering activities.

One of the means is the <.

Now that Jin is gone, he does not need as much detailed information as he did before, but he is trying to follow the instructions he received from Jin - <> - faithfully.

>

The old man is observing the Principality of Dalat with his <.

Watching over all the descendants of the <> becomes virtually impossible as time goes by because the blood thins with each passing generation and the number of descendants increases in inverse proportion, but this young man, Zeke, had the characteristics of the Randall family well.

This young man, Zeke, had the characteristics of the Randall family: platinum blonde hair and light blue eyes.

So the old man had included Zeke in his according to Jin's last will and testament.

"Master Zeke, my son is injured. ......"

"Yes, of course, I will heal him. "

Although he is practically a descendant of Fritz and Gloria, not of Elsa, Zeke is still good at healing magic, perhaps because of his blood.

However, unlike other noblemen, he has never demanded a ridiculously high gratuity.

For this reason, Sieg Mignon Lacon was greatly supported by the common people.

But there were those who did not like it. No, there were too many.

He was envied and jealous of his fellow nobles, and even feared for his life at times.

The old man could not overlook that.

* * * * * * * * * * *

"So you became a nobleman because you can use magic?

<

And it was in Sieg's generation that his talent for magic became evident and he became a great favorite among the common people.

So the old lord sent <>, a.k.a. Garius, to protect him.

He was one of the few people who drifted to the frontier every year because they were fed up with the , and he was hired by the Laconian family.

I am very happy to meet you.

Thank you very much for your help.

"Ah, Garius, of course. Nice to meet you."

Regulus 48, a.k.a. Garius, was hired by the Larkon family as a .

And Garius was active in all aspects of his work.

He quickly repaired all the problems in the house.

Old and malfunctioning magic tools were repaired as if they were brand new.

The rickety carriage was remodeled to improve its anti-vibration performance and comfortability.

The golem used in the mansion was repaired and remodeled, and its performance was improved.

Two thieves and one suspected assassin who broke into the mansion were captured.

In case of emergency, we built a secret escape room in the basement of the mansion.

The key to the room was a that Jin had made as a joke and said that he would give it to the descendants of the someday.

This was something that Jin had carefully < and so that it was unacceptable to ordinary engineering magic.

Finally, he spent a year to create <>, the guardian golem of the Larkon family.

"I see, I made that box after all.

<

"Well, I guess so."

I couldn't believe that I had designed it.

<

"I see. I understand."

Jin understood that during that time, the Laconian family became the dukedom of the Duchy of Dalat, and the former residence became a residential palace .......

The old man did not know much about the activities of <> since the island of Horai had been sealed for a long time.

However, he thought that he would have a chance to see the memories of <>.
