The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 233
Episode 233 Escape Boat
“Who built this fortress?”
“…well.”
Of course, the spirits they create.
All kinds of facilities that engineers built in this fortress.
All the knowledge to make it.
‘What this fort has to offer.’
so that.
As a spirit priest, I couldn’t help but be concerned.
“Such unconventional and advanced elemental magic…”
– Although it is an unpleasant approach. I guess I have to admit that it’s at a great level. This is not possible simply by changing one’s ideas. The difficult concept of spirits… This method is impossible without a complete understanding of the concept. This is something that even our tribe, who have communicated with spirits for tens of thousands of years, could not have imagined…
If what they say is true.
This means that the being who created this fortress had quite extensive knowledge about spirits.
No, it’s not just that.
All kinds of powerful facilities built here.
Because they are also made from information stored in the vimana.
‘If you cook inside, the effect of cooking becomes stronger, or if you practice inside, the effect of training doubles.’
Although I was enjoying it without any hesitation.
If you think about it, this is truly ridiculous technology.
‘Who made it?’
If you think about it, it’s natural.
There was no way a fortress this size would have suddenly appeared for no reason in the first place.
There must be someone who made it.
There must be someone who recorded that kind of knowledge.
Although I wonder who it is.
That question is.
“Maybe we’ll find out when we complete this.”
“okay.” I wondered
if this artificial spirit
would know something.
‘It’s a technology from another world.’
Already due to Borjin’s joining.
The abilities of our unit’s elementals and shamans have increased significantly.
If I can learn the otherworldly skills that lie dormant in this vimana.
Our unit can become one level stronger.
The two spirit masters worked hard on the production with all their might.
After such a considerable amount of time has passed.
[The production of the artificial spirit is complete.]
[Self-judging artificial spirit for fortress management]
[Vimanar]
– Completed.
“It’s done.”
In the middle of the training room.
Something similar to the spirit core I saw a while ago has taken root.
[The artificial spirit Vimanar recognizes the ruling force of the fortress.]
[The artificial spirit Vimanar recognizes the ruler of the fortress.]
[The artificial spirit Vimanar recognizes the current status and history of the fortress.]
[The fortress’s autonomous judgment . The system is activated.]
[The artificial spirit Vimanar begins its activities.]
[The artificial spirit moves for the castle lord no matter what and never betrays or deceives the castle lord.]
[Depending on how it is used, it can become a useful assistant. It can work, so try using it well!]
=Hello, Seongju.
A few lines of messages appear before my eyes.
A neutral voice resonates within me.
=A dedicated spirit who has the honor of overseeing the management of this mobile fortress vimana. It is called Vimanar. I will serve you with sincerity in the future, so please be kind to me.
A small sphere that appeared in the center of the command and control room.
The sphere began to speak.
* * *
An artificial spirit suddenly spoke to me.
At those words, I poked Jeong Su-ah, who was standing next to me, with my elbow and asked.
“…Was it even possible for that spirit to exist?”
“I’ve never heard of a case where it’s possible to communicate with someone who isn’t a spiritist.”
This is also the first time Jeong Soo-ah has experienced this phenomenon.
Is the concept of created spirits still unpleasant?
Borgin frowned and answered.
-This probably means that it is a spirit created for a special purpose.
“Hmm.”
In those words.
I asked a question towards the sphere.
“I said I would serve you with all my sincerity, right?”
=That’s right.
“Then let’s ask this first.”
This guy is also a facility of the fortress.
The first thing you need to know is, of course.
“What can you do?”
This facility.
How can I use it?
=The most basic function is the overall management of the fortress.
“management?”
The moment my eyes widened at those words.
A transparent window appears before your eyes.
[Artificial spirit – Vimanar is delegated the authority to manage the fortress.]
[If you give the artificial spirit a desired growth direction, the spirit will build facilities and level up according to that direction!]
“…!”
A message appears in the status window before my eyes.
After reading that, I asked the guy.
“Building a building on an empty lot or upgrading the level of facilities… is that possible?”
=Yes. As long as you leave it to me, I can do as much as I want.
Honestly, I was a bit surprised by this.
Of course.
‘This was partly why I couldn’t go to another area.’
The only person who could manage the fortress was me, the guild leader.
It would be very irresponsible to leave a job that only I can do and leave for another region.
but.
Now, I am not the only one who can manage the facility.
“I kind of… like it.”
Even if I’m away.
This means you don’t have to worry about this part.
=Except for overall fortress management… you can also perform the role of an advisor, such as giving advice on the castle lord’s plans.
“A counselor.”
If I ask a question about something.
This guy gives the answer.
hmm.
In the case of facility management just now, there were some parts that were quite difficult.
“That seems a bit… ambiguous.”
Absolutely.
There are still many advisors.
The same goes for the leaders who mainly exchange opinions.
‘We don’t talk often, but Miho, the martial arts instructor, was quite an intellectual in her own world.’
His attitude seems strangely desperate due to the destruction of his world.
Although I don’t actively give advice.
If you ask for advice on something, you’ll probably get a great answer.
‘There’s a shaman there too.’
In addition, occupations in various fields are included in the corps.
A situation where no matter what happens, someone can provide an answer.
Nevertheless.
If there’s a reason to ask this guy something…
‘It’s probably something only he knows.’
He has extensive knowledge about spirits.
This fortress had enough technological power to build various facilities.
An artificial spirit installed in that fortress.
“If you are an advisor, let me ask you one question.”
=As much as you want.
If the guy.
If only I knew all the information contained in this fortress.
“What is this fortress?”
To this extent.
You could ask.
The story that Jeong Soo-ah had questions about just a moment ago.
Although I did ask a question.
I didn’t think there would be an easy answer.
‘Because I’ve never gotten this kind of information easily before.’
Of course, there would be some restrictions.
I thought so…
= This fortress vimana is a mobile fortress facility built for a special purpose.
“Eh?”
Contrary to my expectations.
This guy gives answers easier than you think.
=The purpose of production is to escape from the dimension and survive in outer space. To achieve this, equipment that could withstand the pressure of outer space was needed, and a major project was launched that concentrated all of Babylonia’s technology and resources at the production level. The resources used for production were 2,875 tons of Mitrandil and 12,763 tons of Adamantir….”
“Uh…?”
=The people who participated in the production were King Gamesir and Beast Kidor…
even.
Inexplicable and complex details and even names begin to be listed.
If there’s a problem.
‘Even if you tell me, I don’t understand what you’re saying.’
Thank you for telling me.
As a listener, it was something I couldn’t understand at all.
‘…Prince? beast?’
Even if the king is like that.
Why do beasts participate in the construction of forts?
anyway.
Compared to thinking I wouldn’t get an answer at all.
It was quite surprising.
“Is this something that can be answered so easily…?”
=Of course. There is information that is restricted because the functions of the fortress have not been released, but it is natural to share all other information with the castle lord.
“….”
It would be natural from this guy’s perspective.
It wasn’t for me.
‘Ariella knew nothing, and the Pope seemed to know something but did not tell it.’
Seohwan and Miho too.
I knew nothing except that we had been invaded.
but.
The guy who created this level of civilization.
This guy must know something.
“It was called Babylonia.”
=If you are talking about the dimension in charge of building the fortress, then yes.
“They built this fortress… for the purpose of escaping from the dimension and surviving in outer space.”
What is the reason?
I didn’t bother to ask.
“I’m sure those guys also perished due to the influx of beings from another dimension.”
=That is….
“Why those guys!”
Just like Changsu’s group.
A question I also had.
“Why are you going around destroying other dimensions?”
at las.
Can you find out the reason?
* * *
…but.
= Lord Seong. First of all, I would like to correct one thing.
“huh?”
=The reason Babylonia attempted to escape was not because of beings from another dimension.
“No?”
Of course, like other worlds.
And just like our Earth.
I thought I had been invaded by beings from another world.
Unless it is.
Why escape…?
=This fortress is also aware of the phenomena occurring in this world. But the fall of Babylonia happened regardless.
“It’s not relevant. “Is that possible?”
=There can be many reasons why the world is falling apart. And the reasons are more diverse than you might think. It would not be strange for it to have been destroyed for reasons different from those of this world.
“….”
The dimension where this fortress was created also suffered destruction.
The reason is that they are different from us.
=Didn’t you think that the world of the Lord of the Castle would be destroyed in this way?
“…That’s right.”
Even on Earth, stories about the ‘destruction of the world’ often circulated.
and.
Most of them, rather than being invaded by an alien world like this…
‘It was something like a nuclear war or an infectious disease.’
There are also worlds that were destroyed for other reasons.
It’s not strange.
“Haa….”
I feel strangely dispirited.
I asked a question casually.
“Then let’s say they wanted to build this fortress for another reason. “Why is this fortress here now?”
=Babylonia tried to avoid destruction and built a fortress… but failed.
“huh? “Failure?”
There is a fortress that has been completed like this now.
I wondered what it meant to be a failure.
=There were sufficient materials and technology, but there was not enough time.
“Ah….”
=The fortress had no choice but to remain unfinished.
In those words.
There was one thing that came to mind.
-I guess it wasn’t a finished product these days.
When this vimana was first summoned.
The level was only 1.
At first, I thought it was a system that resembled a game.
Of course, I thought it was natural to start from 1 and moved on.
“…It was like this from the beginning.”
=That’s right.
This fortress in the first place.
It was while development was in progress.
“…I have witnessed high-level vimanas in different environments. What is that?
=I couldn’t complete it because I didn’t have time. The design of the vimana has been completed. If you look at the fortress’ summoning log… there are recorded cases of it appearing in the image world before going through formal summoning.
Ariella’s [Shroud of Shadow].
I guess you’re talking about being summoned from that world.
=What the Lord of Seong witnessed was probably the state when all the plans written in the blueprint were implemented.
…That’s the complete form.
So what is the size of Vimana now?
It hasn’t even reached completion, so it’s just a prototype?
=And the question asked by the Holy Lord… ‘Why is the Vimana here?’ is simple.
“…?”
=It is a transaction.
…transaction?
=The details of the transaction are not recorded in the fortress. The previous owner of this fortress made some kind of deal. In return, the fortress was handed over.
“…It’s a deal.”
I’m not sure.
Those who built this fortress ultimately perished because they were unable to build it to the level they needed.
Just before destruction.
In exchange for handing over this unfinished fortress…
some kind of deal was made.
= Since it is also unknown what kind of transaction it was and who the other party was, it is unknown what route it took. Finally, the fortress reached this world.
The result of that transaction.
For some reason, this fortress came to be here.
That’s what our unit gained.
To be exact.
‘I got it as a system reward.’
One day it suddenly appears.
A system that told us to fight.
‘This guy… I don’t even know his identity.’
He is too passive to be called the god of Earth.
There are many strangely sloppy parts.
It is not the reason why this world was made like this.
Hostility was expressed against [Dungeon].
There are many questions in many ways.
‘no.’
There is no need to waste time thinking about something you are not sure about.
Anyway, one thing is important.
“therefore. “This fortress was built with the goal of escaping from the dimension.”
=That’s right.
“So if I raise the level of this fortress, I will have the specs to achieve that goal?”
=You understood correctly. He is also the lord of this fortress.
Why did those guys from another world create this guy?
I felt like I finally understood.
‘The reason the contractors turned to the devil was ultimately to escape from a world that was about to be destroyed.’
Why was the vimana built?
Probably this one.
They too, just like us…
because there was no one to help them escape from destruction.
‘I decided to make it myself.’
It will allow you to escape from a destroyed world.
“It’s an escape boat.”
An escape boat.
