1 Magus Apprentice (2/2)
At that moment there is hologram appear in front of my vision containing a list of Vonix technology. There, I see a list containing a technology that only appear in Science Fiction and a lot more that I don't have any clue about it.
[”This is only the technology available right now, Host is recommended to make a one-star Fortified Base to further use the basic of the Vonix technology”]
When I see the material needed to make the one-star Fortified Base, I was so shocked beyond belief.
”Shit, where am I even be able to gather this much material???”
[”Host is recommended to make Construction Chamber and Assembler Chamber moreover make a robot worker gather material”]
After reviewing the list of Vonix technology, I hear a knock from outside the door.
”Come in.” I give my reply to the one outside after preparing myself mentally.
”Please excuse me, Young Master,” said Sebastian as he opens the door widely.
Then, Sebastian came in while bringing a trolley with a bowl of chicken soup, white bread, and tea. He put it down above a table in the side of the room.
”Please eat, Young Master.” Sebastian gaze at me warmly with a smile.
'Now that you mention it, I'm indeed hungry!' Sighting the food above the table, I began drooling as I sit on the sofa across the table.
As I started to eat, I remembered something and asked,
”Sebastian, please explain to me the condition of my fief as well as the total funding.”
”Yes” Just then, Sebastian explains the whole situation in my fief.
'So, it's like that.' I nod my head in understanding of the situation, as I continue eating with my spoon scooping up the soup.
The Xendra Viscounty is a medium-size fiefdom with a total population of 20.000, it was quite a rural fief without any special resource. It has a town with a population of 10.000 and a surrounding 5 villages with 2.000 population each. There is a total of 2.000 gold on funding.
'Fortunately for me, this was at least a fief without a debt.' I sighed in relief.
'To make Construction Chamber and Assembler Chamber I will need at least 1.000 tons of Iron each which wasn't a small amount but fortunately, if I gather all the iron in the fief it would be barely enough.' I calculated the amount in my head.
'That said I still need to gather it.'
Then I took a sip of the tea, as I was in cognition of what I need to do next.
'This tea is quite bland, I kinda miss Lemon Tea in my old world, I need to find a lemon in this world!' I vowed while scrutinizing my eyes.
As I finished eating all of the food and took the final sip of the tea,
”Sebastian.”
”Yes!”
”Gather all the iron in the fief and all the available tools made of iron to be melt.” My face didn't change in the least when I said that.
Sebastian expression immediately paled, ”But that will make the economy in the fief ha..”
”Do as I say! I have my own plan.” I crossed my arm while also closing my eye as I said that.
”Yes, Young Master.” Seeing my attitude, Sebastian could only agree.
”Oh, and try to procure more from the nearby territory.” I suddenly added.
”As you commanded.” Salute Sebastian with a slightly doubtful look.
'I think the young master is different than before.' Sebastian thinks as he left the room from the door while also bringing the trolley out with him.
After Sebastian no longer in the room, something really concerns me as I ask Vonix.
”Vonix, could you deduct the reason for the original body dying?”
[”From the data gathered it must have been because of unnatural phenomena as there is a sudden organ failure in host body right when he was about to down the stairs.”]
”You mean that there is a perpetrator that done this?” I tilt my head with a slightly suspicious look.
[”Correct… and it may have something to do with the mysteries deceased of the original body's parents.”]
As I remembered the magic of the Magus before, my body suddenly start having a cold sweat and start trembling in fear. Yes, I suddenly became scared…
'If the perpetrator is a Magus… isn't that mean a Magus was a very terrifying existence? This is not good, Wyne's knowledge is too shallow so I need more knowledge... I know this mansion has a small library; I should go there!' I think that as I left the room without minding anything else.
