After the conference ended, Rokunas group was lead into a room within the ship.
Since the conference had progressed smoothly and ended faster than planned, a bit of ti until the party that would happen on board after that had opened up.
After sitting down in a chair of the room that seed like an officer would normally use it, Rokuna breathed a sigh that could be described as being exaggerated.
Good work out there, Rokuna.
Seriously.
When Altejio thanked her for her work, Rokuna glared at him.
In the end, I was pretty much doing all of the talking alone, wasnt I. Honestly, if it was gonna be like this, I shouldve just given Ichika an executive position, even if it was forcibly, and pulled her out here.
Fundantally, we Mazoku arent suited for negotiations after all.
That is true -nou. Just with the negotiations earlier, just how many tis did you all search for each others true motives. Mankind, they truly do have a tireso way of life -nou.
Seeing Lumon and Arum go ahaha and laugh with each other, Rokuna pressed down on her forehead.
AhWell, thats true. I am special among Mazoku, arent I. Well, its good that you all just kept quiet instead of clumsily saying stuff. You guys just being able to read the atmosphere like that makes understand that you guys are excellent, haa.
Still, those earlier negotiations. They were done to explore our reactions, but they didnt make as many excessive demands as I thought.
True.
Rokuna nodded at Arums words.
Of the conditions that the Cylas Empire side had put out, many of them drastically fell below the compromise line that they had hypothesized.
First, the relationship with each other. This would start from doing business transactions in tals, and they would think about the progress from now on while being considerate of the national feelings.
Even within mankinds territory, the Cylas Empire is a nation that has many high quality mines. The trade of ores and tals was a weak point when it ca to the Jiol Forest Kingdom which was a forest nation, and the trade of Holy Silver was sothing they were particularly anticipating since it could currently only be produced in a single mine in the Zadark Kingdom.
Next, the technical aspect. Since they currently couldnt make specific proposals, it was deferred to the next conference.
And then, in the military aspect, by doing either a small scale combination training session, or inviting each other to exercises and then reviewing those, they would each bring sothing back.
Even regarding the next conference, similar to this ti, they decided to coordinate it through the Jiol Forest Kingdom.
All of them were settled slightly smaller than they assud they would be, and just looking at the results, it was to the point that it was anticlimactic.
The friendship aside, on the point of technology, since our nation has Margaret, I dont think there is really anything that should be imported from the Cylas Empire though.
That isnt true at all, A-chan
Margaret imdiately cut into Altejios comnt.
Since Rokuna was thinking the sa way a bit on that part, she urged her to continue on with her gaze just like that.
Well, you see. The reason why the Cylas Empire is always state of the art in technology as a major nation is because the entire races desire to improve is trendous. The talio have a part of them where they will devote their entire life to sothing once they decide this is it, butthey also greedily absorb new knowledge as well. I think you could really understand it if you thought of it as a country where theres a lot of .
Ahaha, I see. If there were five Margaret-sans, it feels like the Dark Continent would be all gathered out in materials in few days with just that.
While making a kick at Lumon who was poking fun, Rokuna started thinking.
Right, she considered things with the Mazoku Norms as the standard, but it seed that wasnt the case.
The Norms specialized in blacksmithing, but they were a race that displayed talent in manufacturing in general. And then, they had spirits of being true artisans, and they also had side that was trendously stubborn and eccentric.
She thought that the talio were the sa, but the fact that they were the sa as Margaret ant that they might be a bit more daring and have a wider outlook.
In, in any case. Through that sort of talio nature, the Cylas Empire has always continued to be state of the art. And then, its probably the sa even now. Did you see the armor of the heavily equipped soldiers at the entrance of that room?
It did look heavy, didnt it.
When Rokuna spoke her candid impression, Margaret nodded.
They did, didnt they. But compared to those, if I were to make them, the weight would be twice as muchWell, it might not go that far, but they would be considerably different.
Hou.
Maybe having gained an interest in those words, Altejio leaned his body forward.
Its pretty hard to tell from the appearance, but their movents were really smooth. Maybe they changed a part of the armors materials, or maybe its a special constructbut in any case, they made it lighter. During the ti that I was here, that sort of thing should have existed. That being said, wellwhat I know is from the ti where the concept of heavy equipnt was just coming out though.
Hnn?
Heavy equipnt was a concept peculiar to mankind, and it literally indicated equipnt that was heavy.
The fact that it was heavy ant that it used that much more tal, and it also ant that its defensive power was high.
However, if its heavy, then naturally, it will be that much harder to move, so physical strength would be necessary.
Depending on what it is, there would be enough weight that an ordinary soldier would beco unable to move, so heavy equipnt was first perceived as equipnt that is ideal but cant be used.
That is why, through that uncommon physical strength, the Cylas Empires Heavy Equipnt Chivalric Order that ran around wearing heavy equipnt armor was the first ti in the Shutaia Continent that Heavy Equipnt Knights were thrown into actual combat and were boasted as the strongest fighting power during those tis.
However, now, a Heavy Equipnt Chivalric Order existed even in the Jiol Forest Kingdom.
That signified that the manufacturing technology of heavy equipnt armor had drastically progressed during the ti that Margaret was away from the Shutaia Continent.
And then, at the sa ti, it was also a direction that the Zadark Kingdom didnt have.
There were many among the Mazoku that desired being agile, and speaking of how they were at the beginning, the concept of weapons and armor itself was sothing that the Mazoku didnt have. At most, there were those that used armor with the sense of them being personal accessories to decorate themselves with.
Currently, Norm-made armor was created, and although the concept of using armor for the sake of defense has finally taken root thanks to the Mazoku staring to acknowledge their efficiency, there was no one that tried to purposely wear heavy equipnt.
Margaret explained all of that at once, and then cut her words off.
Well, that is true. But, wouldnt ti resolve that? The life spans of us Mazoku are astoundingly long. Its not like its sothing that we need to catch up in right away.
Hearing Lumons opinion that could be said to be reasonable, Margaret shook her head sideways.
No. This is just a guess, but the technology of the Zadark Kingdom is advancing in a different direction from the other countries. Just like how things are now, that wont change even from now on. I can declare that.
Well, that might be true.
Rokuna nodded, and made distant eyes looking as if she were rembering sothing.
Co to think of it, Ver-cchi said this at so point. Technology improves as necessary. And if there isnt a need, there will also be tis where nothing will change even when decades have passedor so he said.
Thats right, technology improves as necessary.
There are tis where nothing changes, and there are tis where things drastically change.
However, even if there are improvents, no matter when or where, there is no guarantee that things will change in the sa way.
Eras, places, people. If one thing is different, then even the things that will be necessary will differ.
Even when looking at a single sword, there is an astounding variety of them. If one expanded that into the range called weapons and thought about it like that, it would be possible to understand the diversity in the improvents of technology.
In other wordsThe Cylas Empires technology is sothing beneficial to us and will continue as such, is what you are saying? Are you not overestimating them?
That might be the case. This is nothing more than my own personal opinion.
Hearing Margarets reply towards Arum, Rokuna nodded with a fumu and looked up at the ceiling.
Either way, its not sothing for us to decide here and now. But, its a nice reference. Thank you.
Eh? Y, yes!
Taking a peek at Margaret who was making surprised face for so reason, Rokuna then looked back up at the ceiling. And then, she looked around as if she suddenly noticed sothing.
Speaking of technology, that goes for this ship as well.
Indeed. To purposely create sothing to float on the sea, I had thought that they had strange tastes butthis is like a mobile fortress, isnt it.
Altejio nodded, while Arum snorted sounding uninterested.
Hmph, sothing like this. It could be easily destroyed with large magic, could it not. Moreover, with such an exaggerated shape, the only place it could possibly move is along the coast, is it not? I cannot think of it having any aning -nou.
However, before, that aningless thing had crossed the Sea of Farthest Ends and ca to the West, you know?
Just as Altejio said, the ship that Borkios group had ridden, although it was a coincidence, had reached the Dark Continents western region before.
Their ship was greatly damaged, but even so, it might be possible to overco that through the improvents of technology.
An era where it will be possible for mankind to reach the Dark Continent even without relying on the Holy Dragon might co.
Technology improves as necessary In that case, this large type ship thing, I wonder just what kind of necessity created it.
Was it simply made in order to travel the sea? Or is there so different objective?
Even if they were to ask soone of the Cylas Empire, they probably wouldnt answer.
As if to interrupt Rokunas thoughts, the door was knocked upon.
Excuse . Since the preparations are complete, I have co to receive you.
Hearing the voice that could be heard from the other side of the door, Rokuna once again made a smiling face for diplomacy use.
There was probably no use in thinking about it. At least for now.
Well, in that case, let us go. Its the last job for today.
