[Okay okay, you're still a pain in the butt as you used to be Well then… looking forward to ith you,『Your Excellency』]

[…even if this guy here is such a roughshod, he's actually a professional civil engineer He's also a for his fro at school After that, as an adventurer, I travelled around the continent as I saw and learned the architecture of various places Of course, I also taughtthe way]

Oliver explained as he tapped his chest proudly

[It's just that his roughshod attitude would cause him trouble everywhere he went… until I picked him up]

[Oi oi, how dare you to say that Oh well, it's true though! Hahaha!]

[He may have his quirks, but he's certainly a man of talent The idea of the flush toilet ca his student days I'd like to entrust hie took out the ad the previously empty positions with the names of each four people

A few days later…

[Mining Engineer?]

Ares looked at George and Francesca before hied woood atto develop a mine in a certain earl's territory, but the mine was confiscated by the earl, so here she is now…]

[Hureedy aristocrat Thathile if it's not because of rief]

The woman muttered to himself, then turned to Ares

[You don't look the part as an aristocrat… rather, seeing that you are willing to obey such an eccentric like George, then I can probably trust you]

Then she reached out with her hand

[Pleased to meet you, Your Excellency Lord of Frontier My name is Nora]

Ares received the handshake and replied

[All the same, Nora No need to be so formal in this frontier And it's uncomfortable when an elder calls me with honorific Please just call me Ares]

[Oya oya, this is even better than I expected Then I'll look forward to ith you, Ares-dono

Nora sineer orks alongside the 『Earth Spirit』 Her tongue ue? You're just being superfluous there]

Nora was a bit gruineer orks together with『Earth Spirit』? That sounds a]

[The way I see it, Ares-dono also has several spirits working for him already, don't you?]

[But I still don't have any spirit of 『Earth』who could specialize in h]

Ares said with a chuckle

[Fuhn Whatever Then, George Where is this ht It'll be iht here Shall I show you the spot ie acco site east of Heinz

To the east of Heinz, lies a vast e inhabited by dwarves and the Aryans… it's pretty much a land with untapped potential

They're currently heading… to the e

[So this is where the Heinz iron mine is located at?]

[Yes Basically, it's this entire e's question

Looking closely, there were several tunnels all over the mountain, and many were still operational

Nora looked around, then sighed

[So it's ironfroet what I want froht hand

[Su, the spirit of the land with a childlike forhtly surprised

[So this is the spirit of earth… it's the first tiineers who could seek the help of spirits Why are theyso precious? Because the spirit can help find the most efficient vein to be ineer was often treated well by their employer]

[Hi, Nora Have you found me a new mine?]

[What do you think of this mine before us?]

The spirit flew around for a while… before returning with a surprised face

[Nora! You should really undertake this job! This ood quality, and there are a lot of veins inside! We can dig them out for our entire life and still has so of iron『Black Iron』 in thisout sohed after hearing that last part

[Then it's decided I'll spend the remainder of e heard the spirit's explanation, he frowned

[Hold…? I don't knohat to feel to hear that with the overabundant gold and silver we have at the old and silver are still a long way to go They should be in deeper part of theup iron in the e

[Well… I haven't heard about the most important part here]

[That is taken care of already]

George was quick to reply

[We will pay you accordingly for each iron orein various places to trade with an appropriate rate However, ill deduct it with equipment, labor, accommodation cost, etc]

[…isn't that a bit overt?]

[It's only natural I believe there will be no other ould offer a better treate's face… then at Ares

Then she was ree before she ca town centered around Nora

Mining engineers were relatively low in status and tend to be discried in this business were under prejudice And therefore most of them were recluse To be able to create a place for theht to build a city based on one's occupation… there is really no better offer

[If it's not good enough for you, then I can only look elsewhere… although I don't know any rateful if you can accept]

George spun up h Nora's intention

After sohed, and showed a calm sht But I' for Ares-dono there]

[Of course, that is not a problem]

[Geez you really are laards, Lord-dono]
