14 Episode 14 Completion of the Magic Meter (1/2)

--When Arx saw the magical silver expanding, he thought of a thermometer that used so-called inorganic mercury.

If the altered magical silver expands in response to magical power, then it should be possible to measure the amount of magical power by sealing it in a glass tube, just like the mercury in a thermometer.

If this idea is correct, the amount of magic power put into spells, which until now has relied on intuition, will become more accurate, and efficiency will improve dramatically.

Arx, who had been dissatisfied with the current method of teaching magic, would not fail to see the light in this.

On the day he came up with this idea, he was investigating the altered magical silver until dawn.

As I proceeded with my research, I found out that when magic silver is exposed to hot magic released for a certain period of time, it changes into a substance that expands in response to the magic power.

This result convinced me. He was convinced that he could make a thermometer to measure temperature and a magic meter to measure magic power.

Early in the morning, Arx visited Crabbe's house.

He told the guard guarding the gate of the mansion that he had an urgent matter to attend to, and was immediately connected to Crabbe.

He had just woken up, and as soon as he entered the parlor, he gave a huge yawn.

He had ...... long silver hair and tanned skin reminiscent of a Latin man in a man's world. He has burn marks all over his body, including thick arms, humped shoulders, and a thick chest plate. At the moment, he is dressed in a black tank top and long pants, a comfortable look.

The first thing I did was to apologize and bow to him.

”Uncle. Good morning, sir. I apologize for barging in on you so early in the morning.

You're awfully early today... and you've got dark circles under your eyes.

I was up late last night.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.　You're not going to grow up with a woman's face and a small frame.

”Ugh. ......

Crabbe uses his thick fingers to ruffle my forehead.

I was at a loss for words when he said the thing that was bothering me the most.

So, what's going on?　What's wrong with you? You're not supposed to be here at this hour, are you?　Did you get kicked out?

Crabbe's face changed from sleepy to serious. If that's the case, is he going to go yell at them?

No, I'm not going to kick him out, that's for sure.

But you know what?　In the event that you've got a lot of money to spend, you'll be able to take advantage of it.

That's true. In the event you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it to make a lot of money. However, this is because she has been a child until now, and now that she is taking an active role in everything, she is becoming more and more noticeable.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'll keep that in mind.

I'll keep that in mind. I'll take care of it. I'll adopt you.

My uncle is as dependable as ever.

Please take care of him.

Yeah. I'll take care of it. There won't be one or two of us. Hahaha!

While I was thinking about Crabbe, I also thought about his family.

You have a daughter, don't you, Uncle?

Yes, she's from Sapphireburg, and she's over there with her mother.

Sapphireburg is a small country southwest of the Kingdom of Rynor, where we live.

Its territory is as small as the kingdom's aristocracy, and it faces the kingdom, the empire, and the maritime states to the south, making it a dangerous place, but its borders are protected by a steep land, so it has not been invaded by other countries.

It is said that Crabbe, taking advantage of his high position, sometimes goes there to show his face for inspection.

Anyway, I should get down to business, so I straightened up.

I have a special favor to ask your uncle today.

What is it?　What is it? Are you asking for money?

No, sir. ...... No, I'm talking about spending money.

Huh?　So?

Well, I was wondering if you could make me one of these.

He took out a piece of paper from his bag.
