Chapter 136: The Principle of Having Just One Luxurious Article (2/2)
“Well, I guess it would be sothing like this.” [Ryouma]
I released the slis from my Dinsion Ho, and then I checked up on the ril birds and the tunnels.
I was only gone for 5 days, and yet the cave mantises have started taking nest again.
I got rid of them imdiately, but maybe I should keep the entrance closed tighter…
Although, I guess it’s not really too bad since I can just hunt them and use them for food, but…
“Next is…” [Ryouma]
Sowhat deep into the mines, I chose a tunnel that was a little damp and created a simple stand in it using earth magic.
I’m going to move the mushroom bed that I made a few days ago in my Dinsion Ho and set it up here.
“Hmm?” [Ryouma]
That’s strange…
There were already so slender enoki-like mushrooms growing from the mushroom bed made with alchemy. I didn’t accelerate their growth using magic, so if they’re growing this quickly, could it be that these are actually a different kind of mushroom? Still, the mushrooms did successfully grew, so should I take this to an that my mushroom cultivation is a success? …Either way, let’s just keep observing these guys for now.
I moved the mushroom bed to the tunnel, then I added a door to prevent enemies from entering.
“Next is… Ahh.” [Ryouma]
It’s the extra job I made for myself. But with this I can take care of both at the sa ti.
I gathered the sticky slis at the place where the waterproof cloths were normally made and lined up the winding machines I purchased. They only had five in stock, but five should be plenty.
The winding machines I purchased were built simply and they looked just like a sewing machine placed on a tabletop. I turned the knobs at the side and spun the spool supported by pillars on the tabletop. By attaching the end of threads around the empty spools, I could wind the threads around the spools.
First, I’ll have one sticky sli puke out its threads, then I’ll turn the knob and teach the slis how to do it themselves.
I told the sli to pay attention on the distribution of threads on the spool. We don’t want the threads to be gathered only at the center, it has to be even.
Then I had another sticky sli change places with it, and left the turning of the knob to the other sli.
It’s not a job that requires a lot of power, so there weren’t any problems.
…With two slis paired together, they were able to wind the threads properly.
I stationed slis for the other four winding machines as well and had them practice.
While they were doing that, I left to do another job.
While the sounds of threads being winded resounded, I prepared so charcoal and drew a magic formation on the ground.
What I’m about to make now is a ‘jewel’. A jewel ford from carbon known as ‘diamond’.
“I’m a bit nervous… But a slightly big diamond should do just fine.”
Personally, I’m fine with a plain navy blue suit, but it’s too plain according to the standards of this world, so the nobles probably won’t like it. Formal wear that’s too plain will make look shabby and might cause problems for the person that invited .
…As such, i had the clerk working with advise . I feel like 80 percent of what he was saying was true and the other 20 percent was just sales talk, but anyway, he says that the best way to deal with the lack of extravagant clothing is by attaching so expensive accessory.
But that supposedly plain suit alone cost 500,000 suits. That’s 50 small gold coins. That’s a lot of money at this point in ti for , but the other clothes were 2 to 3 tis more expensive. Apparently, when high-ranking nobles buy clothes and accessories, they actually spend platinum coins.
You’re driving the prices up too much, nobles! Well, the money will still flow into society, so whatever. Anyway, since I’m going there to greet them, then I might as well spend money like a commoner and bring myself up to a level that could match the people I’m going to be eting.
I understand that much. But exactly what am I supposed to do?
I generally don’t wear jewels and it’s bad taste to cover oneself in jewels. As such, I decided to instead wear just one big jewel as dictated by necessity.
Acquiring an expensive jewel seed like it would be difficult, however, so I just decided to go and make one!
I’ll just pass it off as an inheritance from my grandmother.
“First, I’ll use Separation on the carbon and remove it of all impurities, and then… Fusion!” [Ryouma]
Diamond, just like graphite, is an allotrope of carbon.
It’s essentially a lump of pure iron.
The difference lies in its bonds.
It’s because of that that it’s hard, transparent, and insulated from heat and electricity.
As I ruminated on my knowledge one by one, I watched the glowing magic formation as the fine powder of carbon turned into a transparent lump.
“…” [Ryouma]
I waited for a little longer, and when the light vanished from the formation, what was left was a distorted, transparent lump.
“Identify” [Ryouma]
Plu Diamond
A special diamond with no impurities.
Color: Colorless
Weight: 218.34g = 1091.7 carats
“Plu?” [Ryouma]
It beca a diamond as I’d intended, but what’s a plu? This ‘special’ under the description has concerned. …I should ask soone I can trust about this.
And the size is clearly strange.
If I recall correctly, 0.2g should translate to 1 carat, and the biggest diamond should be either 500 or 600 carats.
But the diamond in front of is 1091.7 carats.
“Did I put too much material in?” [Ryouma]
For the an ti, let’s divide it into smaller parts and adjust the shape.
