SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 21: Runesmith

Edgar was paying close attention to the progress of royal guards in sweeping bandits. One day after they started fighting with bandits, he already heard the result. He ordered that news must be continuously sent to him so he could respond if something unexpected happened. Fortunately, the royal guards succeeded in their mission. The two teams that remain will return after destroying the remaining bandits. The hidden remnant forces of Duke George are destroyed.

Edgar plans to make the rescued women as teachers or members of the magic production corps if they have an aptitude for magic. They might find meaning in life again if he gave them a reason to live. Edgar plans to use magicians for manufacturing or agriculture. He has an idea to use magic and create appliances. Runesmith is focus on weapons and armor in this world.

Edgar did not relax his training. Every morning, he manages affairs, and in the afternoon, he does not miss his training. Wealth is useless if you cannot protect it when powerful people stare at it. In this world, might is right.

In the morning, Edgar went to the Runesmith department to try the possibility of his ideas. He is accompanied by Elena and his personal guards. He wants to create a modern stove and a blender. The stove will be a lot more convenient for cooking, while the blender will create another soybean business, soymilk.

Edgar ordered his guard to call for the chief runesmith. Alsef, the Chief Runesmith, invited Edgar and others to a room.

"Your highness, is there anything I can help you with?" asked Alsef to Edgar with curiosity. The prince had never visited their department before. He said before in the academy that studying Runesmith is boring, so the Runesmith department is certainly boring.

"I'd like you to try if my idea is possible. Set up a research team. I will personally fund the research. What I want is a cooking stove and a blender. Unlike the stove currently used, it will not require fire stones to maintain fire. I want the stove to create a fire, activated and maintained using mana stone, and the degree of heat should be adjustable. The blender that I want is like this. The blade in the middle will rotate by a small tornado wind magic. Just like the stove, I want it to be activated and maintained using mana stone." Edgar gave the drawing of the stove and blender to the chief.

Alsef looks at the drawing given by Edgar. He feels interested in the unique idea of the prince. Runesmith has been focusing on weapons and armor. Maybe the whimsical idea of the prince can give them new inspiration. Alsef does not know how terrible the potential profit of appliances in the world is. He thought the drawings given to him by the prince are just toys.

"I will form a research team for your highness, but I'm not sure when they can make it since it isn't their best field," reminded by Alsef, he is afraid the prince will fuss if they are not made immediately.

"It doesn't matter as long as they do their job properly. Tell them that I will reward them with a lot of gold once they successfully make them," Edgar believes that gold is a useful tool in increasing the enthusiasm of the research team.

"I thank you on their behalf, your highness!" Alsef slightly bowed to Edgar. He did not expect the prince to be so generous. The reward is not necessary since they are just doing their job. The prince even used his personal funds, so their budget for research will not be affected.

The kingdoms and empires in this world do not know of a huge gold mine standing in front of their Runesmith department. He will create a brand of appliances in this world, and he will name it the Flameworth Collection.

After coming out of the Runesmith department, Edgar went to the Royal Library to restudy Van's knowledge of Runesmith. From selecting materials to smithing and carving magic runes. Higher-quality materials are more difficult to smith and carve with magic runes. Edgar tried to understand what he read based on Van's memory, but he sadly found out that Van's knowledge was bits and pieces. Edgar can't understand a single process because even one step in Runesmith has no complete information in Van's memory.

When Edgar went back to the castle, it was already slightly dark. Candles and lamps are lit. Edgar went to his study room and continue reading books about Runesmith. It is quite difficult to read because there is not enough light from the lamp. Edgar looks at the lamp and starts thinking of the possibility of a magic lamp.

It will be expensive if the lamp must be maintained by magic stones. Edgar starts exploring his current knowledge and Van's memories for alternatives. Edgar's eyes suddenly lit up. There is an alternative, a stone that can be found on the southern continent, the land of elves. The stone attracts light elements and gives light to its surroundings. contemporary romance

The lightstone could have been a popular commodity if not for its limitations. Once the lightstone is taken out of its source, its light will only last for a few hours before it completely disappears. The lightstone will become an ordinary stone. For Edgar, research can make the impossible possible.

He might send a research team to the southern continent and collaborate with the elves. The transport of lightstone will be costly because it needs to travel from the southern continent, then pass through the Fran kingdom before reaching Baynard. Although it is costly, the price of lightstone is cheap, so the profit should still be large. Edgar sighs. Baynard does not have access to the sea. South of the kingdom is a long mountain range. Beyond the mountain range is a legendary, dangerous land.

"If Baynard has access to the sea, the kingdom's development will accelerate a lot. Too bad," Edgar murmured to himself.

The next morning, Edgar went back to the Runesmith department. Chief Alsef is shocked. He thought the prince was already asking if the research team had already made a sample. He had not even formed the research team yet! Everyone is reluctant to join the prince's research team. Some thought it was just a toy of the prince. Later, the team that did not join Edgar's research team will be full of regret. The research team of Edgar will be the richest researcher and have the most advanced tools for research in the kingdom.

Edgar asked Alsef if he could let someone teach him Runesmith. Edgar did not mention the lightstone for the magic lamp because he has not finalized the plan.

Alsef feels relieved and surprised. He thinks the prince is fascinated by Runesmith because of his toys and has the impulse to study Runesmith. Alsef agreed, then he made a bet with his co-researchers that the prince would only last for a month before giving up. Others bet a few months or a year. Someone jokingly said that it might last for five years. Alsef terribly lost. They all lost.
