《The Overspace Magus Emperor》Chapter 16 'Fortuna Chamber of Commerce'
Advertisement
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Currently, I was still in Oxford City, starting the economy that had been halted in the fief and giving people lower taxes to make the economy work.
I had decided to make a branch of the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce that had been a great source of income, as well as the driving force of the economy in my fief.
The officials that come from Moonmoor had been a great help in managing the city, as the officials original to the city needed time to be fully trusted.
As for the soldier of the Count that had attacked my fief, I decided to check their background and history. The one that had a bad record, I will send them to the mine or the construction labor. As for the one that had a good record, I decided to enlist them to the city and town before they conscripted. Almost half of the remaining was a forced conscripted peasant and I give them a choice whether to serve or go home.
Of course, they would be trained by Sir Gareth first before being placed back, as I don't want a rebel that will stab my back. There's also the previous general of the Count's army that I decided to enlist, as he had a good record and character. After calculating the one being sentenced and the want that wants to go home, the remaining soldier that I will train and enlist was amounted to around 2500 men.
As for the Count and his corrupt officials,
‘Hehe… I have a plan in mind’ I smirk for the nasty plan that I made, as I thought the miserable fate that will come to them.
Talking about loyalty makes me imagining of something,
“Vonix, is there any way to control someone without using the Mind Chamber?”
["Affirmative, if Master were to upgrade the Fortified Base to two-star and produce the advance nanobot, it's possible to control someone with the nanobot."] A monotone voice suddenly replied.
My eyes shone after hearing that but then dim as I said,
“To upgrade the base further, I will need a lot of magic mineral and soul stone as the core. Forget it, it might take years before I upgrade the base.” I sighed dejectedly but then filled with determination to gather it.
After all of the matter in Sanchez County finished being handled and doesn’t need my intervention anymore, I decided to go back to my fief with a helicopter that I board before.
As I got back to the mansion, I meet Sebastian in front already waiting for me. I approach him as he raises his gaze to meet me before saying,
"Welcome home, Young Master. The lunch had been prepared at the dining hall."

"Thank you Sebas, lead the way," I replied casually, as I enter the mansion.
"Yes!" he responded and lead.
The lunch today is way better than when the first time I transmigrate to this world. As the fief accumulate more gold because of the Chamber of Commerce. The ingredient uses also become more luxurious.
The lunch today was spaghetti with a mushroom sauce, chicken steak with a barbeque sauce, a classic white bread in the side, and a cup of tea.
I had given Sebastian lots of recipe and note on how to make ingredient way back when I give him product to sell at the Chamber of Commerce.
This makes it possible to make spaghetti, pizza, macaroni, and even mayonnaise. Unfortunately, as the base ingredient to make the other food is limited and there is even none in the surrounding territory, Such as rice, potato, and others.
"I quite missed food made with rice and potato fries with tomato sauce… hahh." I lament for the lack of variety of food here.
“Young Master, what’s rice? I ever heard of potato and we plant tomato here in the fief.” Sebastian asks from the side confusedly.
"Rice is some kind of grain that could be cooked and eaten, it was white after being processed," I explained while gulping the food. Then added, "Sebas, could you procure potato later?”
“Of course, Young Master! I will definitely procure it.” Sebastian replied while determined to fulfill his master’s wish.
“Good, speaking of that, could you explain the progress and situation with the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the situation in the fief?”
"Yes!" Sebastian nods his head and begins explaining.
It began around a week ago, as Sebastian was told to make the Chamber of Commerce. First, he comes to the branch of the Merchant guild to be registered.
In this world, there were all kinds of guild, Merchant guild which use by merchants to exchange information, Mercenary guild which use by lord and king to recruit mercenaries, Alchemist guild that sells all kinds of potion and herb, and much more. But surprisingly, there is no such thing such as Adventures guild that used to appear in typical fantasy for some reason.
Then after he finished registering at the Merchant guild, he starts recruiting people from the mass that was literate and could do basic arithmetic and also some official in the fief as a manager. He also buys an official building in the middle of the town to be used as the headquarter.
A few days after that, I gave him tons of common goods to sell to the people. Surprisingly, the most item that sells the most was soap. The female in the territory instantly fall in love with the soap, it was also popular for males though not as much.

As the Chamber of Commerce grow in popularity, for some reason people start questioning the fortune that the Chamber of Commerce had. Not only it had a glass mirror which was a marvel to the people that were seeing it. It also had all kinds of equipment that defies common logic by them like the Archimedes Pump.
If it wasn’t for them mistaking it for magic, they would probably freak out by the logic and idea of the items, there might even be people that will have an ill intention to get the goods for themselves. Well, it's true that all of this item and equipment are ahead of their time. That was one of the reasons the people start calling it the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce.
As the goods were accepted by the people, it drives the economy as new job was being created and started to appear. Such as the assembling of Archimedes Pump, it requires personnel to teach and assemble it. There was also an increase in peddlers to be the middle man to transport goods.
"Good, the goods are well accepted by the people, even though some of them still not quite as popular. Sebas, make the unpopular goods a sample and let some volunteers use it before showing it to the people." I directed as I thought of how to advertise the goods.
“Yes, as you commanded!” Sebastian replied while repositioning his one glasses.
"Oh, also make the branch of the office building at Oxford City!" I appended.
"About that Young Master, what the Kingdom would say about our occupation of the County?" Sebastian asked with concern.
“No need to worry, I had something planned in mind," I reassured him, as I already thought of a plan and start gulping a mouthful of tea.
"It's must have been something to do with the Young Master's Master, Then I don't need to worry." Sebastian misleadingly interprets.
Hearing that, I spurt the tea in my mouth to the side, “Uhuck… of course, it is.” Then, I dismissed Sebastian a little embarrassingly.
After finishing lunch, I gathered the remaining robots that didn’t defend the town and village. As the soldiers that I liberate still needed some time in training to be loyal to me, I still place around 50 robots to defend the County.
Then, I ordered the rest of 150 robots to start exploring the north so that I could find the ruin of the Ancient Magi. Although before that, I charge the battery of the robots first. As for the ones that were in the County, I already send charger at the transport helicopter though not too much.
The robot could have a battery capacity for around a week since they used a very advanced and efficient battery technology. It seems that it could be upgraded further and might even last more than a month or even a year.
As 200 robots seems to be not enough force right now, I decided to come to the Assemble Chamber first to make more robots and possibly increase the variety.
After I reach the Assemble Chamber, I began scrolling the list of robots that could be possibly make right now. There were all kinds of interesting robots that I could make, such as Miner Robot, Bomber Robot, Animal Robot, Battle Robot, and Assistance Drone Robot.
‘Miner Robot' is just like the name suggested, it is used for mining. They are much faster and better at mining than the ‘All Purpose Robot' and as the robots will get bust exploring and protecting the fief, I decided to make them.
The ‘Bomber Robot' is a robot that was used for bombing obviously, it sacrifices itself to explode amid the enemies and damage them greatly. Depending on kinds of explosives, if it were to be filled with nuclear, it will even be capable to kill hundreds of real Magi with ease. Unfortunately, to make nuclear, Uranium or Thorium will be needed as the material. Although they are small, they were quite easy to be spot and intercept.
As for the ‘Animal Robot’ is a kind robot that were capable to be make into any kind of animal, either a spider that had eight leg and were very mobile, or any kind of animal with their trait in the robot, making it quite strong and better than the ‘All Purpose Robot’ in almost all aspect.
What's interesting about the ‘Battle Robot' is that it was made solely for the purpose of fighting. It's battle capability could even stand toe to toe with a 3rd Rank Knight Apprentice unarmed. It was the perfect soldier in the battlefield.
As for the last robot that was interesting, the ‘Assistance Drone Robot' is a robot drone that floats 1 meter in the air and was capable to scout and even helping someone attacking, by shooting from the distance. It’s a great assistance robot to use.
I pondered for a bit before decided to make 20 ‘Miner Robot’, 10 ‘Battle Robot', 5 ‘Animal Robots' that take spider form, 10 ‘Bomber Robot' filled with TNT, and 3 ‘Drone Assistance Robot'. Later, I will make more of them but as the material I had was limited, this was the limit.
After finishing that, I go back to the mansion to continue my Breathing Technique, as I wait for the completion of the robots and the report of the exploration.
