THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

chapter 57's

“With the Baron and all your people, following my master's orders, I have personally come to deliver you a letter that my master wishes only you would read.

He sends you greetings and gifts to congratulate you on being king. He hopes you comment on the gift and answer his message. “

He bought a box that had a short sword, not a knife or a sword, but something in between. However, this was not the grand prize Lukav had prepared for John. The actual reward was contained in the letter Lukav had prepared. John was quite surprised after seeing the sword because after analyzing it he found out that it was made of precious metal in this world. It is made of magic metal. Magic metals are used in weapons to enhance the deadly magic used by the user. It was first discovered about 4000 years ago by court magicians. After a few years it spread to other countries after they observed its use and importance as a strategic resource.

John commented very interestingly, “Prince Lukav spent quite a lot to give me this sword.”

John said this because he knew that magic metals were not available to commoners or even merchants who had money. It could only be purchased by those with connections or those in power because most of the Magic metal resources were monopolized by the great nobles and royal families with the collaboration of the local chiefs. Many times when a magical metal is found on the border, it instantly triggers wars between countries due to its importance as a strategic resource. Often, small nobles get rich if they heed the line of regional rulers (Dukes of the region) or the royal family.

Or they will feel the heat and burning from powerful people from all sides for having hot potatoes powerlessly.

However, there were still some cases where some nobles who hid their power or made deals with foreign powers left many people helpless and paid a lot of what they got. However, it was only a rare case where a lot of interest was involved.

What caught John's attention most about the magic metal was the value of his research and its application in other things rather than weapons.

In the letter, Prince Lukav gives his normal greetings to John and he hopes to have a private discussion with him one day if time is allowed.

At the end of the letter, Lukav only wrote 3 important words, first was the name of the mercenary group, the second was the name of the place and the last was the name of Prince Hector.

From this letter, John concludes that Prince Lukav hoped to establish a relationship with them and these two gifts demonstrate the sincerity of the Lukav section at their first meeting with no hope for anything in return.

John is quite fond of this gesture from Lukav and smiles, Georgio does not miss John's smile and quite understands that they at least made a good impression on John from their first meeting. He could also see that John did not make any conclusions about his master based on rumors. He had a very neutral outlook towards her just like everyone else when they met new people.

“OK, you can get my answer.”

Taylor then asked the waiter to carefully put the sword in John's room so that he could examine it later. He brought along paper, quill pens and ink so John could give an answer.

John specifically and deliberately said the northern border town, both Taylor and Georgio could understand his intentions from his words.

On the surface, John appears neutral but both sides can see that there is no true neutrality but more curiosity is seen between the sides.

John even offered to give soap to Prince Lukav for the west side as the sole provider, one was because John felt that Duke Blackwolf would take action against him so he hoped to use Prince Lukav as a rope against him.

This will benefit both sides.

While Georgio is here for the same purpose because Prince Lukav wants to use this unique soap trade against Duke Blackwolf's business and use it to get more information about Felix as of late this he got very little information about him, but he knew that his chances were lacking because both parties did not know each other.

If Duke Blackwolf succumbed to them then Prince Lukav could at least come to an agreement with him to obtain more information and in return, to do so, Prince Lukav will sell this soap outside the borders in other countries on the western border without incurring any harm.

Georgio has his own mind after it was possible to make a deal with John, ‘It is good that information is used in exchange for a normal reward to allow this deal. It seems that Master Duncan was in place when he said instead of giving a superficial gift our information sources could be better off because they were unique and they would show more sincerity when dealing with John. ‘

Georgio was well cared for in the mansion by Taylor. As the butler of a Baron, Taylor made sure to show Georgio the best things in the mansion which included food and a backyard pool with a barbecue stand. This is a new experience for Georgio.

Georgio thought and said to Taylor after experiencing these things, “Home here is pretty good and the food here has a unique taste as well, I heard a lot of rumors that the food here was delicious, but I never knew it was something different like this It seemed like the rumors were true, Was it true that the Baron who designed this Mansion personally, has no idea, while the furniture also created this dish, I still find it hard to believe that one can be better at many things. “

His favorite here is the ice cream and hot-pot spicy served in the mansion.

Taylor proudly said to Georgio, “Ya, God himself designed this Mansion according to his taste and he also created the dish because he felt there were too few dishes and he did not like any of them so he made this.”

Taylor also asked about this strange sight after arriving at the mansion when it came to the food and architecture of this house. He was quite amazed to learn that John created so many unique things.

After Confirmation, Georgio had a different thought, ‘As expected of his student. But Teacher is sometimes quite crazy in certain situations, I wonder how long this relationship will last.
