I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 165

"I have something to tell you, Ars. Can I have a minute?

"What's the matter, Mr. Peeta? I can't believe I went out of my way to change the subject."

"Hmm. I bought this magic from your brother at the New Year's celebration table, but it's working fine. I never thought I'd sell my own magic."

Really? How was it, Reed's magic? I think it's quite convenient..... "

I see. I actually tried to use it, but I think it has certainly become more convenient. But I can tell you there's something I'm worried about. "

"What do you care?

"That's right. Although [automatic computing] is probably not a problem, the effect of [quick-reading] is that the user's understanding is large. No matter how instantaneously you understand a sentence, it doesn't make sense without the reader having enough knowledge to understand the content of the sentence."

"That's right. But I told you that, didn't I?

"Yes, but I felt it was more demanding than I thought. To work with this magic, you must actually be a leader in governance. But such an important person cannot be named after someone else's house. In the sense of using magic, it can be difficult for a person to sail."

"... that's true. I see. From now on, when you sell the leader's magic, you'll have to explain it to the other person. Thank you for your advice, Lord Peeta."

"No, it's not that big a deal. That's not the point."

"Really? What the hell is going on?

"Oh, actually, it's kind of hard to say... but aren't you willing to sell your magic?

"Huh? My magic?

"That's right. Honestly, no matter how convenient Reed's magic is, it doesn't match your magic. I feel like I want the magic of Balka."

"The magic of Barca... No, that's no good, Lord Peeta. Kyle's magic was a magic without attack, but it's also an exception. If you give me the magic of Balka, it will inevitably follow even the magic of ice, the magic of Fontana. You can't make it a business species."

I see. Well, I guess so. "

I mean, why did you say that all of a sudden, Lord Peeta?

"Don't you understand? I am entrusted to Fort Eindrad. And Fort Eindrad was built by you."

No, I thought Lord Peeta and I were building the fort together.

"Don't be silly. I was just there. I'm sure it was your power to build Fort Eindrad. And I can say that the best use of Fort Eindrad is because of your Balkan powers."

"The power of Barca?"

"That's right. Think about it. Fort Eindrad has plenty of catapults. Bricks made with your brick magic are the easiest to fly. We really need Balkan bricks to defend Fort Eindrad now."

I see.

There may be a reason.

I thought so when I heard what Peeta was saying.

I went to a New Year's celebration early in the year and sold Kyle's magic at that banquet.

Kyle earned the money by naming it and accepting it, a slight deviation from the implicit rules of the world's naming.

Of course, there weren't any of them who looked bad.

However, Carlos, the main player, bought Kyle's magic at first, which prevented me from objecting.

If you complain to me, you will criticize my actions.

Carlos may be able to say that we were saved as he was trying to grasp it if he had the advantage.

That's why other interested knights asked me to give magic to their own men.

I immediately tried to do only what I talked about.

The effects were excellent and everyone was surprised.

But, of course, Peeta was right, giving Kyle the magic might be a tough choice.

If you are a knight in your territory, it is highly likely that someone who really needs Kyle's magic will be at the heart of your territory management.

However, such a person is naturally already in some position.

In other words, this is not the case in Barca, but elsewhere it is not divided into civilian and military officers.

If you don't have both, it doesn't make sense.

Then, inevitably, a knight, or someone who will eventually become a knight, will need Kyle's magic.

But of course, we can't let someone like that name the Reed family.

Then, if you ask someone less important to name the leader, that's not the case.

I'm asking for quite a lot of money to name Kyle.

Does it make sense to spend a lot of money on things that would not be able to work and use magic?

If I were told, it would certainly be difficult to choose the person to whom Kyle's magic should be imparted.

But that's not what Peeta was talking about.

Peeta was surprised to tell me to sell the magic of Barca.

What does this mean?

Normally, you shouldn't bother naming Peeta's men after my magic, which contains attack magic.

I think you know that without Peeta telling me...

Sure, it would have been better to have Balkan magic from the point of view of protecting Fort Eindrad.

But it is obviously strange whether it is necessary to sell Balka magic only for the catapults.

If that's the case, just buying bricks can accomplish the goal.

... I see.

Maybe that's the only reason I can't do it.

I know it's impossible to buy the magic of Barca, but I dare say I need the power of Barca.

In other words, isn't Peeta going to say that Fort Eindrad needs Balka's power, that is, force?

During the previous banquet, Fort Eindrad was told not to have any problems defending it.

But it's just Carlos' castle, and it's obviously difficult to defend here.

So I bought the magic of House Reed with high money, and I talked about it like this.

"That's right... As I mentioned earlier, it will be difficult to sell Balka's name. So, what do you say we send a team from here? How about sending the Balkans, who can make bricks, to Fort Eindrad?

"Well, um, I guess I did say I couldn't. I said something bad to you. I want you to forgive me. I would also like to thank you for your suggestion. It would be helpful if the Balkans came to Eindrad."

"I see. Instead, play the dispatch fee, Mr. Peeta."

"Okay. I told you I couldn't do it. Let me do my best."

So I decided to send the Balkans to Fort Eindrad.
