Jin's workshop has been receiving repair requests one by one after hearing of his reputation.

Repairing knives, farming tools, and magic tools.

Most of the requests are for repairs because the materials are not available at the moment, so new products cannot be made.

Even so, the average number of repair requests is two per day, so the company has been steadily accumulating funds.

However, I had to borrow money when I built the workshop.

The repairs are done with engineering magic and require almost no capital, but the debt is significant.

In five days Jin had done thirteen repairs, earning a total of 20,000 TL, but..,

"Still, at this rate, I don't know when I'll be able to pay off my debt.

Jin said to himself.

The total amount of his debts had reached about 250,000 dollars. In addition, he also owes money to Katya.

Jin-san, uh, uh, maybe today or tomorrow, Mr. Lorenz, the peddler, will come.

Katya spoke to Jin. She knows a lot more about management and accounting than Jin does, and can be relied on.

I'm sure you can get some materials, and if you ask her, I'm sure she will bring more next time she comes.

"I see."

"Besides, if you have something to sell to Mr. Lorenz, we can get some foreign currency, or money from outside the village."

For now, the money is only circulating within the village, and it is hard to say that it will make the village richer, said Katjea. When he talks like this, Cachier is very eloquent.

"It is impossible to make money only in the small society of the village. ......"

"That's true, too. ......"

Nevertheless, there is little that can be made because of the lack of materials.

"Who is this Mr. Lorenz and what kind of goods does he deal with?"

"Well, he is a merchant in a large town called Lawhon, about three days' ride south from here.

"Speaking of which, what is the capital of this country?　Oh, I don't even know the name of the country.

"Oh, you don't even know the name of the country.　Is that where you are from?"

As expected, this question seemed to have taken him aback a bit.

Still, Katya explained the situation well.

"This country is the Principality of Mercana. The capital is in the south, near the seaside.

"Thank you for ......."

After all this time, Jin regretted that he had not asked the important information earlier.

The next day, after such a conversation, he asked me if I had heard anything about the "Maharigu".

The next day after the conversation, Lorenz came to Tajee village.

It was 8:00 in the morning. He opened his store in the multipurpose plaza to the south of the village.

Remembering Roland's visit to the village of Kaina, Jin also went there.

"Wow!"

I couldn't help but let out such a voice as I saw the huge stalls spread out.

Clothing, daily necessities, luxury goods.

Foodstuffs, seasonings, preserved sweets.

Tools.

Tools, tools, and a small amount of various materials were laid out on folding tables.

There were not one or two sellers, but five, and each seemed to have a different role to play, such as store keeper, treasurer, and so on.

Jin thought that they probably came with several horse-drawn wagons.

"Isn't it amazing?"

I turned around at the sound of his voice and saw Helga.

"They call it peddling, but this is a caravan.

Jin agreed.

"By the way, who is this Lorenz?"

Jin asked Helga, taking advantage of the opportunity.

"Oh, Mr. Lorenz is talking to my father right now.

Helga pointed to a simple but sturdy carriage in which they were meeting.

It was the carriage that caught Jin's attention.

"A plate-spring suspension. ...... It's quite well thought out."

It is also called leaf-spring suspension, which consists of several plate springs of different lengths stacked on top of each other.

Friction is generated when they bend, which also acts as a damper.

This system is still in use in Japan today, and is used in trucks and other vehicles.

There was something that caught Jin's attention even more than that.

It was a golem.

Although it was called a horse-drawn carriage, it looked like a golem, not a horse that pulled the carriage.

In other words, it should be called a cart, not a carriage.

Golem is about 2 meters tall. In a word, it is a stout man. They look powerful.

It was assumed that five of them would be towing a cart.

"If the golem is going to tow the cart, the number of guards will be minimal.

Jin was positive about the idea.

"Hey, isn't that a great golem?"

"Yes, it's always scary ......."

Helga and Katya had arrived at Jin's side.

"They say they are ten or twenty times more powerful than humans."

And another one, Isak.

"Yeah. ......"

Jin gave a vague nod.

Actually, I think it's a pretty good golem. But that's all.

"Is this a golem for hard labor?"

So I let out a soliloquy like that.

"What?"

"For hard labor?"

"How ...... do you know that, huh?"

"Because the power source is distributed in a way that emphasizes power over speed, and the center of gravity is low, isn't it?"

The center of gravity is especially useful to distinguish such applications.

The higher the center of gravity, the more emphasis is placed on movement, or speed, and the lower the center of gravity, the more it is suited for heavy work, such as carrying heavy objects.

"How can you tell that just by looking at it? ......"

"Who are djinn?"

"......"

As expected, Isak, Helga, and KaChea looked at me with dismay.

* * * *

"I see, an unidentified mage, huh?"

"I don't think he's dangerous, though. I've been watching him for the past few days and he's been doing some good for the village.

"Hmm."

"I asked Katya, who is helping him with his work, and she told me that he is not a dangerous man. He said that he didn't seem to know the name of the country or its capital.

"I see. If that's true, ...... I really wonder where he came from.

So, what do you want to do?

I'll meet him later and talk to him myself.

"That would be best."
