33.The magic moving car manufacturing factory
Prince Erza's Domain - Peter St.
...
Since the area of the Kingdom of Evesu was to the north, it was only now spring within the kingdom.
Inside the Peter St. territory, along the way of the carriage, one could see many residents who were farming, and when they saw the carriage with the Prince's flag, they would also bow slightly to show their greetings.
Many of the pedestrians along the way also wore smiles, and it could be seen that the entire atmosphere was still very cordial.
"I've long heard that Prince Ersha is very good to the territorials, whether it's the level of respect from the people or their own spirit-like appearance, it's all very good." Ms. Mavis was also surprised.
Noble territories, it really depended on the policies of the nobles.
In the Kingdom of Ivysu, as long as there were nobles with fiefs, they all had a certain amount of autonomy. The degree of autonomy generally matched the rank of the title.
For example, Prince Ersha has territorial legislative and military power.
The only restriction is that the legislative power must not violate the basic moral code of the Kingdom of Avisu, and the military power must not have more than 50% of the kingdom's army at any time.
It basically fell under the category of no big deal, Prince Ersha could do whatever he wanted within the territory.
"That's because grandpa has always treated the territory people well and because we don't like luxury, so a lot of benefits are prioritized to the people. It's not even the first time that grandpa sometimes lacks money and directly and brazenly goes to ask for it from Uncle Gong, that is, His Majesty the King." William explained concisely.
"Because Prince Ersha is the youngest one, so those who are older brothers favor him more?" Narin asked curiously.
"Pretty much, because Grandpa was only seven years old when Lord Ersha ascended the throne. Power struggles and whatnot basically had nothing to do with him anymore." William replied.
"I see." Narin nodded.
The previous king of Avisu had abdicated of his own accord, but the fact that Ursa was only seven at the time was proof enough that the previous king was old and strong.
"And that's why when Grandpa proposed to His Majesty the King to build new roads for the entire kingdom with his own money and the right to operate the new roads, he was quickly granted permission to do so as well."
"Because in the network of power relations, grandpa is the weakest among the several princes, so there's no need to worry about us messing up, the big deal is that we'll end up richer, and our territory is only a little bit that big anyway."
"But judging from the results so far, that uncle of mine should have realized that things aren't that simple."
William said, looking out the carriage window and smiling.
...
At this moment, there were no more farmlands around their road, and even sentries could be seen along the way.
This was because they, instead of returning directly to the manor, had prioritized coming to the Magical Motion Vehicle Manufacturing Plant. At the same time, Ursa was also here today, so it wasn't a problem to come directly.
Mavis frowned as she had vaguely realized something.
"Professor Mavis, I know that you come from a family of magic potions, but you studied and specialized in mechanics because you loved knight mechs so much, and after returning from studying abroad in the Goblin Race, you entered Polar Star Academy to teach and serve as an honorary professor at the Knight Institute."
"So I would like to ask, if there are additional large-scale machines that are manufactured other than knights, would you be interested in learning about them?"
"Or, personally participate in the manufacturing?"
William asked, in a tone that was clearly not like the usual casual conversation, and the atmosphere changed subtly.
At this point, both Mavis and Narin had realized it.
After William took over the topic, he smoothly continued to say so much, not simply making small talk, but to pave the way for this moment's inquiry.
Mavis Halifax.
This big blonde beautiful professor was originally one of the targets that William wanted to pull in, after all, it was a young age with the strength of a seventh-order Grand Magical Instructor, coupled with the rank of a double-degree professor of magical potions and mechanics, and a great fondness for Knight Mechs in itself, so naturally it was the optimal target.
However, in William's target priority is actually ranked in the second tier, because the magic medicine family she is in, in another prince's territory.
Trying to pull the strings would be digging in!
"If something happens, can I choose not to see it?" Mavis asked.
"Can see what? Ms. Mavis you're just here to visit the magic moving vehicle manufacturing, aren't you?" William also understood what Mavis meant.
"Then let's take a look at the new magic moving car." Mavis agreed.
Is the new magic moving car ...
...
The gate of the magic moving car construction place opened.
The magic moving car manufacturing factory built on the mountain was expanded four years ago from the original carriage manufacturing factory. This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides with lush forests, and there are several large mountains stretching behind it, and after the last large mountain that is about a thousand meters high, there is a nice bay that connects to the sea.
And that is separated by the mountain peaks of a bay area, is the only coastline in the Peter St. territory, completely undeveloped part of the utilization.
William stepped out of the carriage with priority.
Spatial Department, Beginner Level Magic - Short Distance Replacement.
Accompanied by a complex array of magic arrays slowly passing through from head to toe, William's original Polar Star Academy uniform changed back to the exclusive scientific research clothing stored in the magic ring wearing the logo.
"Wow, can space system beginner level magic still be used like this? Aren't you afraid that when you replace the clothes, the costume will get stuck in your body?" Narin was a little surprised to see William's application of magic.
But she also had to admit that this kind of spatial dressing magic was pretty cool!
"Prioritizing the magic to cover the skin, defining the area covered by the magic, and avoiding it completely when defining space magic is fine." William said simply.
This was the inspiration he had once found in learning programming, and it had to be said that these complicated things were interoperable in some ways.
"Is that possible? I'll try it in the wagon." Narin was interested in returning to the wagon.
"You've even studied the Space Department?" Mavis, on the other hand, was surprised.
After releasing the wind soundproofing magic at Tuttle's tent, Mavis was naturally not surprised that William could use magic.
"Only learned up to the middle rank, this kind of magic is indeed too difficult." William replied.
Soon, Narin also changed into a gothic dress and came out, very cute.
"Come on, let's take you all on a tour." William.
The two beauties of size nodded.
...
With William and Uncle Ryan around, even if the two strangers entered, naturally they were all released all the way to be allowed to watch.
Even including the research and development workshop of the latest type of magic moving vehicle, as well as the magic props research and development workshop of the various control instruments of the magic moving vehicle's head, all of them were able to visit without any surprises.
Mavis was very excited about this, and couldn't help but find someone to ask about the principles of each place she visited.
Narin, on the other hand, was generally interested, and was instead wondering just how many people were secretly watching them.
Those were the surveillance personnel that Ursa had arranged between the research and the workers, all of them were at least of high-level magician strength, and if anyone came here they would also be the first to be watched by them. Even if William brought someone here, they would all continue to keep an eye on them, which was also considered a kind of secret protection for William.
The Magical Motion Vehicle Manufacturing Plant was large and also had many duplicate areas.
So it only took almost an hour before and after taking Mavis on a tour, and at this moment they were already resting in the lounge.
Mavis was still looking at a new pamphlet on design ideas for a new type of magical moving vehicle.
"It seems like there are very few people from the kingdom eh." Narin voiced out her doubts, she had also been secretly observing.
"Grandpa directly and generously gave most of the workers and research and development personnel related to magic-animated vehicles to His Majesty the King to arrange for a new magic-animated vehicle factory and training of new personnel, so naturally there aren't many outsiders in this relatively remote initial manufacturing plant." William said directly.
"That's quite a job you guys are doing." Mavis added.
"Of course, after all, our magical vehicle manufacturing plant is a bit large, and it's easy to manage with all your own people." William laughed.
Just a little bit of himself? Perhaps it wasn't as simple as a little.
