Chapter 468
144. The Last Bastion of Territory Protection
“It’s a surprise! Can’t you go away!”
“Did you have a nightmare?”
“Why did that guy the size of a pea become such a wall!”
“In the past, they said that it would be better to pamper them when they are bigger.”
A middle-aged man speaking with a soft expression and a dark-haired girl complaining.
If you watch the two of them quarrel, it looks like a father and daughter are fighting on the outside, but if you listen to the conversation, it was the opposite.
“I got some fruit from my mother. Try it.”
“Hey, I’m not interested in that kind of thing.”
“I won’t give you a book until you finish eating.”
“Oh hey, this guy! Come on, give it up!”
The angry black-haired girl was very different from the existence I knew.
What on earth made her change so much?
It was clear from a cursory glance that she hadn’t always been like this.
She is the princess of the abyss.
He is the younger brother of Uld, who blew up the Lux continent, the world of phantom beasts.
Perhaps, without knowing it, Verdande also came here with the intention of blowing up the continent of Tionis.
But she changed with a different result from what I know.
“The princess of the abyss you mentioned. It’s a little weird when I see it.”
At the words of the world tree egg, I spoke quietly while standing on the branch of the giant tree.
“So I am watching. I don’t know right now. Because everything related to the abyss is dangerous.”
If it were now, I wouldn’t be defeated by Uld, but just having such an existence would create too many variables.
Had it been according to the original plan, he would have killed her.
But I changed my mind. She has no intention of doing anything right now.
“Eat you! I’m worried that I’m going to clean it properly because it’s so skinny!”
“Hahaha, even if I look like this, I have a strong body. mother.”
And while he said that, Verdande seemed to take care of Grid Malone Briuk, the former King of Briuk.
Did you say something like that is a joke?
I’ve mentioned it before, but there was a similar person in the corridor.
First Lady Daphne.
To put it bluntly, he is the person to whom the slightly unusual name of xbalderre suits him best.
I don’t pretend it’s not, but it felt similar to the fact that the words were rough.
“It is a lie.”
I was silent at the words of the world tree egg.
“You guys are feeling longing for the two of them.”
“…”
“Is it family ties, for example?”
At those words, I waved my hands awkwardly.
“Do it in moderation.”
“Hmm, that’s interesting. To think that the human side would be revealed in an unexpected way.”
“It can break branches.”
I felt bad for some reason at the sound of laughter.
“Even from the looks of it, yes. You were too cold-hearted when it came to the abyss. But this time it was a little different.”
“Quiet. Because I’m just watching. I will use it to dig up the information I need when dealing with other Abyssal Princesses later.”
At my words, Perserk only shrugged.
Then he thought of it as if he was cute, grabbed both of my cheeks with his hands, and slapped me.
Silently ignoring her play with her hands and looking at the two of them, I suddenly became curious.
“By the way, what the hell is that magic book?”
It was a little different from Abyss Power, but closely related to her power.
“Why don’t you ask me directly?”
A magic book that can be seen clearly in my gaze from a high place.
Since the princess of the abyss had it, I thought it was an item related to the abyss, but I didn’t feel any power of the abyss in the contents.
It’s like something out of this world.
“Do you see Perserk?”
At my words, she looked into the magic book with interest.
And then he grew up.
“Find out for yourself. If I can give you a hint…”
She blurted out her words and smiled.
“It’s a keepsake.”
Seeing someone’s belongings so preciously embraced.
“He must have been quite important to her.”
I said nothing more and turned my back on them.
* * *
The Princess of the Abyss, who had been searching for a long time, was revealed to be too futile.
After dealing with her, I shut up at the Hines estate.
The academy started operating normally, and other parts started to see benefits.
Currently, the largest customer of the Heinz estate is none other than the Palan Empire.
The Palan Empire was reaching out to many places to be called the greatest power.
In terms of the globe, it is no different from the United States, which insists on the name International Police.
Of course, the purpose itself was good.
In fact, thanks to the Palan Empire, wars with other countries on the continent are extremely suppressed.
but.
In order to maintain this state of affairs, the cost the Farran Empire spends every year was truly enormous.
When the Palan Empire begins to collapse due to imperial issues, the insiders turn their attention elsewhere.
It is to start shaking the weak countries gently while maintaining the peace.
Of course, the kingdom of Raun was also included in that range, so as soon as I became the lord of the Hines estate and touched the funds, I started periodically making large-scale transactions with the Palan Empire.
It stabilized the financial market by making money circulate through a large amount of imports and exports.
You can’t see a big benefit right now, but did you say it’s ubiquitous? There was nothing wrong with being prepared for emergencies.
Like it or not, not too long ago, numerous merchants in each country tied up or released funds according to the rise and fall of the Palan Empire.
“Are these all ingredients?”
“Yes, sir. Huh, this battle golem, which was only the first cold period, has already increased so much.”
In the parallel world, with the help of the observer, what I took was not only mana and sacred water.
He can see all over the world and told me where the primary magic stone was buried.
I went there without a word and committed the atrocities of digging up only magic stones.
Art if caught, crime if not caught.
no vice versa.
In any case, the sound of a large amount of magic crystals could speak of the reinforcement of the golem squadron, which had been sluggish.
In fact, the usefulness of these guys is considerable.
Starting with the command object, Elder Brain Lune, after Megatron, the original early model of the Decepticon squadron,
Sniper, Juggernaut Tanker Puma, and many other golems were made.
After that, there was Starscream, a golem that could levitate in the form of a dragon, or twin golems.
Of course, the twin golems were sent on a business trip to another world, the continent of Yurugian, instead of Tionis.
However, I wanted to make something rather than a simple golem, and I succeeded in restoring the blueprint that I had been collecting.
An existence that was called the god of alchemy on the Yulgian continent.
Iba.
Ivan Van Hohenheim.
The Yurgian Continent, where alchemy developed, is a world that has achieved numerous developments based on alchemy.
And there is one existence that Ivan van Hohenheim created during his lifetime.
“Lyne rated the quality of the blueprints very high. I judge this to be a high level of technology.”
It was so sophisticated that even the ignorant Lynne from ancient play would vomit her flagship.
“Oh my God…”
The Dwarves looked at each other in amazement. An elder-class dwarf who has seen so many things over the years.
Golda and the Golgotha brothers and the other elders did the same, but this in their eyes was different.
“This is it.”
The power to take out things must be there.
I showed a drawing of a device filling a sheet of blueprints.
“What is this? It is the heart that runs through catalysts made with alchemy. Its original creator originally used a fuel other than mana for other purposes, but I intend to use it.”
The faces of the dwarves stiffened as they saw the huge circular object.
“But even if the blueprints are perfect, it will be difficult with the materials and technology here. amnesty.”
I know the blueprints are great.
There are only two beings who understand this.
Lynne and.
me.
Dwarves also have great technology, but in their eyes, it was as complicated as a middle school student reading a university thesis.
“Are the dwarves like that too?”
“It hurts my pride, but I can’t help it. With engineering this sophisticated… yes, the Blue Rock Tribe might know.”
Blue Rock Tribe.
The Yellow Rock and Black Rock tribes specialize in crafting weapons and magic tools.
It is said that he is an ordinary but profound craftsman.
On the other hand, the red rock dwarves have great technical skills when it comes to architecture.
Actually, when I established the academy, I shared some of the techniques with them and they made it right away.
“When it comes to machinery, there’s only the Blue Rock Tribe.”
“Where are they?”
“You mean them? Hehe, in fact, we don’t even know.”
At those words, the atmosphere around them cooled.
“What is it? Then it would be faster to teach the Yellow Rocks.”
“I don’t know their village, but I do know one snarky old lady from the Blue Rock tribe.”
At that, I paused.
“You know?”
“Everyone knows it’s in a fairly famous place.”
At his words, I made a face telling me to continue.
“The headquarters of the Alchemy School. I heard you were there.”
Even within the alchemy school, there are numerous schools. In fact, there was Penicillin, an alchemist who dealt with biotechnology that I had previously met, and Francis, an elder puppeteer of the Golem Order, was a prime example.
It would be most efficient to just go to the Yulgian continent and kidnap the technicians there, but since we know best that it is practically impossible, we have no choice but to go through the method here.
In fact, there are cases where the resources found there are not on this land.
“But that old man. It’s so twisted that it’s beyond words. Even the emperor of the empire doesn’t want to meet you well.”
A person with the level of president of the alchemy school would have that much prestige, but… As far as I know, the person with the level of president is known to others.
“This is a great nobleman.”
“Eh. The crab that looks like that because it’s old. What will you do with the gift? Although I can’t help you this time, I think I can try to meet him.”
At his words, I nodded quietly.
“Whatever it is, we have to look at it somehow to get the technicians to build it.”
“Hehe, first of all, I’ll try writing a letter to that stubborn sack of shit. The name can be borrowed, but it seems that the name of the teacher is also needed for the letter to reach the president level.”
At that, I quietly nodded my head.
* * *
Arrogant arrogance.
There are several names to call him.
But no one laughed at him for being arrogant.
He is a genius and works harder than anyone else.
That was the dwarf alchemist Edison.
Because of this, no one in the School of Alchemy, regardless of School, even called him a snarky old man, but no one opened his mouth about his technological prowess, his passion, and his achievements.
Although he is an old man with an eccentric personality, many of the things he made have already come out to the world and have made a lot of progress.
No wonder the royal family, who fell in love with his technology, came to him carrying money and begged him to meet him.
Alchemists are basically very proud of their skills.
However, the passion was surprisingly great.
“My dear Eddie. It is a letter.”
“Ew? Correspondence? Didn’t I tell you to skip all the little things?”
Edison, who was staring at the table in his workshop while concentrating, smoked a smoke pipe and frowned at the words of a young girl who came to visit him.
“But Mr. Eddie.”
“There are too many things to learn and find out in the world to pay attention to each and every tiara. There is no time to worry about such small things.”
The beautiful girl called Tiara slipped away from her exposure as she spoke in a curtsy tone and grunted.
“grandfather.”
“Eh… why are you doing that again!”
“It’s not just correspondence.”
“Eh?”
“I’m from the Hines estate. Prince Davey O’Rowane of the Hines estate. You know?”
“Who else is that?”
“yes? Don’t you know this person? continental hero. A saint who made countless achievements even before Reina, the warrior of light, appeared.”
Edison frowned at Tiara’s words.
“This old man is too busy to remember every single name of this human kid! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and bring more academic books!”
“Ac, you’re a cranky old man.”
“What is it?!”
“Oh, did I say something wrong?”
Tiara grumbled with a sullen expression.
“grandfather. If you just accumulate goals like that, the same side will all fall away. You should live comfortably in your later years. What kind of hardship is this?”
“This bitch! I just brought you up!”
“I don’t know! Because my grandfather keeps acting so arrogantly all the time, people around him say something to me!”
“You guys work hard too and suppress the bridge of others’ noses! Then no one will look down on you!”
“And what if someone better comes along?”
Edison frowned at the question.
“What did you ask and fell asleep? Of course you have to learn! That is the fate of those who seek learning!”
This is because there is no one who can teach him.
“By the way… this letter. Do you have the name of the elder Golgotha?”
At those words, Edison’s expression hardened while he was working.
“Who?”
“It says Golgotha Elder.”
“Bring it and see.”
At that, Tiara brought Edison a letter. There was a very short message written on it.
“I have something I might be interested in. Are you interested? If you agree with each other, I will pass on a few things.”
The contents of the letter from a young boy named Davey caught Edison’s eyes.
It is a letter to Edison, not to anyone else, but it is arrogant.
“Heh heh heh heh heh!! That guy! An arrogant fellow.”
That’s what he said, but Edison knew too. He was called the saint of the continent and what kind of force he had shown.
But alchemy and this were separate things.
Force and knowledge are two different things. That made me even more interested.
“But Grandpa. Isn’t this Davey the same person I used to talk to about marriage?”
At that, Edison licked his lips.
Then I started to remember. When this girl in front of me, who was one of the six major beauties on the continent, had just been born, she had an exchange of marriage with a boy of the same age. The name of that kingdom was the Raun Kingdom.
The prince’s name is…
“Hmm… They say it’s a relationship even if you just brush your shoulder. Yes. If you’re this confident, I’ll have to meet you.”
Coincidentally, there is also a request from that damn old man.
He licked his lips and read the letter again.
