Prime Minister Powell Darner Hudson was unsure of the true meaning of Jin's words.
"No, so I was thinking of strengthening the <> general-purpose golem a little.
"Well, why is that?"
The Prime Minister's forehead is sweating even though it is not hot.
"Well, to prepare crushed rocks for pavement. We have to carry the rocks, crush them, and push them into the pavement.
"I see."
"It would have been better if we had 20 of them (・・・・・・)."
Hearing Jin's words, which could be taken as sarcasm, the Prime Minister breaks out in a cold sweat.
All of the ministers of the time who had done such a dirty deed had been removed from office, but the prime minister and the king were not free from responsibility in that they had given their approval.
Now that they know the power of Jin, they understand how much risk they are taking in incurring his displeasure, and they are sweating cold sweat.
On the other hand, Jin, on the other hand, does not care about it anymore because he has heard from the old man that it was almost two years ago and the corrupt nobles who were the ringleaders have already been removed from office.
Therefore, the proposal was made out of purely goodwill.
However, there is no denying that he is also calculating that he can take advantage of the development of Toka village, where Licia, a member of the Jin family, is a lord, and by extension, the villagers of Kaina village as well.
"It's just a little bit, really. Well, you can think of it as redevelopment."
"Ummm... ......, I'll ask for your help sooner or later."

"Well, why don't we take a break?"
Princess Rieschen suggested.
We have been talking for two hours straight and everyone is getting a little tired.
This was a good idea.
Since we had been sitting for so long, we were all led to the back yard of the castle.
Only Alois III remained behind. A king is not allowed to walk around so casually.
The inner garden is reserved for royalty and important guests, and now the early spring flowers are in full bloom.
I admired the flowers while sipping tea prepared by a lady's maid.
Flowers resembling narcissus, crocus, snowdrops.
"Nalthus, crocus, snowdrops..."
Zion, who had been quiet as a borrowed cat, opened his mouth.
"You know them very well, don't you?"
Princess Rieschen smiled.
"I love flowers."
"I'm glad to hear it. In another month it will be even more colorful.
"I'd like to see them when I get a chance."
"Please come."
Jin felt that although they were still strangers to each other, they seemed to be getting to know each other better, perhaps because of their close age.
Jin-dono seems to be busy these days.
"Yes, well..."
"I'm sure it's about the World Congress and the World Guard. I can imagine how you feel.
The Prime Minister also spoke to Jin.
"If only the world were at peace. That is what I want.
You have said so before.
The sun was setting and the wind was getting chilly, so we all left the inner garden.
Before returning to the conference room, Jin and the others were taken to the workshop of the royal castle for a tour.
It was a different workshop from the one where Jin had made the golem before.
Jin also commented after taking a tour of the workshop.
"Compared to Kunlun's, it must be embarrassing.
"That's not true."
Now Jin knows how special his environment is.
The workshops of the Klein Kingdom were well-equipped, especially in the area of metal materials.
"Is it because Mr. Boulton is here?"
I asked, confirming the reason that had just occurred to me,
"That's one of the reasons. Baron Boulton has the to distinguish between good and bad materials."
However, whether or not he can make use of it depends largely on the skill of the magecraftsman. In this aspect, metallurgy in the Kingdom of Klein was behind.
"Yes, can you call the 10 golems here? All of them if possible.
"Yes, I can. We're putting them on hiatus for now.
"I see. Then call me. Let's do what I said before.
"Oh, oh, I see..."
The Prime Minister, a little dismayed, gave instructions to the Minister of Magic.
The Minister of Magic, Clarotho Vados Keris, scurries out of the room to activate the device.
Theon and the others looked around the workshop with curiosity.
Five minutes later, the magician returns with ten golems.
"Oh!
"They look very strong."
"Wow!"
Radeous, Rorona and Sion marveled at their majesty.
"Nick 11 to 20. How are you doing?
"Yes, Mr. Creator. I have found nothing wrong with it.
Well, that's good.
The adamantite coating has been applied to all the important parts, so the product is maintenance free under normal use.
"All right, let's strengthen it then."
"Jin, Jin-dono, are you going to start now? I would like to resume the meeting soon. ......"
The Prime Minister said hurriedly.
The time is 4:00 PM. According to the schedule, the meeting would continue until 5:30, followed by dinner.
"Don't worry, I'll only be a minute."
"What?"
The Prime Minister's words are somewhat stupid, as he does not believe Jin's words about reinforcing ten golems in one minute.
"<>"
Jin casts engineering magic <> on ten golems at once.
This is Jin's original engineering magic, which strengthens the bonding power of the free magic element (ether) contained in a substance, making the substance tougher. It is a supercompatibility of Toughening (Tahun). It is especially effective for magic materials.
The most important feature is that it is also effective on biological materials such as magical skin and magical muscles.
The increase in bonding strength does not only mean that the material becomes stronger.
The melting point and boiling point also increase, and in the case of Magical Muscle, the upper limit of the power that can be produced also increases.
This was what Jin meant by <.
The material used in Horai Island, it depends on the ratio of free magic element (ether) that contains ...... about 1.5 to 10 times. It will be enhanced by .......
To give a more concrete figure, it is more than 10 times for ancient (ancient) dragon hides, and 4 to 5 times for magi type metal materials.
The increase in the price of the five-and-a-half nickel steel used for the general-purpose golem of the Klein Kingdom was 1.5 times, and the leather of the dragonhead eel (dragon eels) used for muscle was twice as high.
"Now, let's go back to the meeting.
"Uh-huh."
"......"
Once again, the heavyweights of the Klein Kingdom recognized that Jin was out of the ordinary.
