Chapter 52 Workshop (2)
I sent Selena back first.
It’s invisible to Selena now that it’s woven, but I’m sure it’d be weird if I was messing around here.
It’s like you’re waving your hands and feet in an empty vacant lot.
Selena left, and I slowly looked around the studio by myself. Leisurely, so that if anyone sees it, it looks like a walk.
“… … found.”
and found Entrance to the basement.
It looks like an ordinary floor, but the blueprint of the workshop reflected by the weaving tells us that there is a way down.
but.
“I can’t go in now.”
It’s an obvious entrance, but I can’t go down here.
Because weaving is an illusion.

No matter what lies beneath, this workshop, which cannot interfere with reality, cannot of course be built through the bare floor. Therefore, even if I open the entrance here, I will only knock on the bare ground of reality.‘To enter this place, use Menosorpo to weave a workshop in the air, or use black cloth to forcibly dig underground.’
Both attract considerable attention. The former is an aerial building floating in the sky, and the latter will make a terrific sound when digging underground. It will leave traces even after unweaving.
‘Either way, you have to do it out of the reach of people’s eyes. for example.’
for example.
… … Like a hut I’ve been to before.
The idea of wanting to use the hut had been there for a long time.
Even if it is not a workshop, I have to develop and develop with abilities that no one knows about, so various experiments and trials are necessary.
Up until now, I had been doing it in my room or in Constell’s personal training room, but now it’s starting to come to a limit.
So, if I modify the hut on my own, use it for experiments or training, and call a workshop next to it whenever necessary, I can complete my own base.
‘The problem is the distance.’
It takes a considerable amount of time just to get from the mansion to the hut, so if you need to visit the workshop frequently, you should reduce the time.
know how As soon as I thought of this, a method immediately came to mind.
I just don’t know how to do it.
‘portal.’
The Indus could use a portal to move to the place they had set. But it was a one-way trip back to the base.
But for now, that’s enough. Using the hut as my base and setting it up as a portal site, and being able to return to the hut whenever necessary, the convenience will greatly increase.
‘… … Come to think of it, all Indus personnel could use the portal.’
Aren’t portals more difficult than you think?
Having said that, neither Thompson nor Skyler were wizards, nor did they look very smart.
Why is it that the entire Indus leadership, including them, can use the portal?
“Well, the answer is simple.”
stop asking
To ‘the guy who still has a lot of places to use and eat’.

A few days later, Obsidian.
Warden Esther has been hearing absurd news since noon.
“… … did you come here? Frontier de Roach?”
– Do you know him? He was a little boy who was not afraid to look for the director as soon as he arrived. He was talking nonsense that he would know his name.
It’s not funny. really.
Esther felt her head pounding at the voice on the other side of the phone.
Frontier de Roach. At first, he was a student who also had information to investigate Renzo’s death. But, let alone Renzo, he did not even know the identity of Frontier himself.
Besides, Renzo did not die, but came back to life, and he must be wandering around the continent leisurely by now! Now there’s nothing to do with Frontier!
-What should I do? Shall I kick you out?
“Oh, no. What is the dragon?”
– It’s a meeting.
“Who are you meeting?”
-Isn’t there a guy called Kian that we caught recently?
oh
Are you out of your mind, kid?
– Of course, I said no, but I’m arguing that the director will understand.
“… … haha, i’ll figure it out Send me to my office.”
-yes? can i send it?
“okay. Anyway, the dragon is here too.”
– Huh. Okay.
The call is over.
A sigh that I had deliberately suppressed inside the prison flowed unknowingly.
There has never been a time when I hated dealing with people as much as I did this time.
Esther, who pursues and arrests the criminal, was always in the position of digging into the insides of the opponent. Whether it became a human or a monster, she was the one who saw through the identity of the opponent and pulled out the sin.
However, when facing Frontier, it feels like the position is reversed. Frontier couldn’t figure out who he really was, but rather, he seemed to see through Esther.
Esther tilted her chin and looked to the side involuntarily. He turned his gaze to the full-length mirror placed there.
“… … Shall I leave it to you?”
Reflecting in the full-length mirror, she tilts her head. Of course, Esther didn’t do it herself. It was Esther’s autonomous movement in the mirror.
like help? a face like
“No, you can’t call an alter ego like this.”
Esther shook her head.
Of course, the clone has the same level of performance as the main body. It’s strange to describe humans as performance, but in reality, the clone’s ability is no different from Esther’s. You can’t just give a ‘nemesis’.
But other than that, there was another reason why he couldn’t use his alter ego. This is because the clone is too similar to the body.
‘I am the Esther of this world.’
Esther knew instinctively. What kind of thoughts would an alter ego almost similar to the main body have? Above all, I know Esther well because she is herself. There was a possibility that her alter ego would become the main body at any time.
Of course, since Esther has her own values, she does not become an unconditional enemy and aim for Esther’s life whenever she has a chance.
However, when she is judged to be unreasonable as Esther in this world, when she arrives at a ‘reasonable determination’ that she cannot punish sinners in the name of God.
The clone will kill the body at any time. To punish more criminals efficiently and quickly.
smart.
“Sir, I have brought you.”
As I contemplated for a moment, I heard a knock on the door.
“come in.”
As Esther spoke, the door opened and a guard and Frontier entered.
The smiling Frontier’s face is somehow pissed off.
“Yeah, well done.”
The guard gave a light salute to Esther’s words and then went back. The remaining Frontier walked over and sat down on a nearby sofa.
“… … I didn’t ask you to sit down.”
“You were going to do it?”
Even if he shoots a sharp gaze at Frontier who is still doing his best, Frontier’s expression does not change.
Frontier was like this when we first met.
Esther had a very bizarre feeling, and Frontier didn’t look down on her or take it lightly.
It was just a face, as if he had met even a good friend. It’s like he doesn’t doubt that he’s on his side.

Naturally, Esther saw Frontier for the first time at Heldre’s mansion, so Frontier’s reaction was only questionable.“You want to meet Kian?”
“yes. I don’t need other members. I just need to meet Kian.”

No matter what the other members are, Kian is also in trouble.Esther put her hand on her forehead.

Now, the Indus leaders are not allowed to visit anyone.This is because the Indus cannot identify the remnants of each of them. It was forbidden to visit because there was a fear that they were cheating on their relationship with their parents, siblings, or relatives, and there was a risk of exchanging new operations in code.
Most of all, visits are handled more strictly because of the monster that stole Renzo’s body and ran away.
‘… … wait.’
Then Esther realized something and looked at Frontier.
“Did I just say that it’s okay if it’s Kian?”
“I said so.”
“Anyone of the other Indus members is not one, only Kian?”
“yes.”
Frontier still answers with a fresh smile.
Esther’s eyes became sharp as if looking through it.
‘Maybe you know.’
Among the leaders of the Indus, Qian had surprisingly no criminal history.
If you live in an Indus that dreams of revolution, you are bound to commit crimes, big or small. Especially if you’re a leader.
However, while all the other personnel were involved in heinous crimes such as murder and assault, Kian had none of that.
To say that he avoided such incidents because he was a minor, even the link with Indus was clearly cut off.
‘It must be Heldre’s work.’
Rumors that Heldre loves her granddaughter seem to have been true. It may be that Kian did not take part in the crime himself, but the data processed as if it had never happened in the Indus makes his tongue stand out.
Therefore, if you are Qian, you can visit him conditionally. Of course, it wasn’t something outsiders knew, and at the discretion of the director, Esther, she was going to invite a person to visit in person.
‘How much do you know?’
When we met at the mansion, Frontier said that he had induced Esther to come to the mansion.
Those words were still dubious, but it was clear that Frontier knew more than others.
Perhaps there is something in Frontier that goes beyond the insight and reasoning power that Esther specializes in.
“It’s a full-length mirror.”
It seems to block Esther’s thoughts.
Indeed, a meaningful word from Frontier, whose timing is too cunning.
“It would be rare to find a mirror that shows the entire body from head to toe like that.”
“… … you.”
“It’s exciting.”
Frontier laughed as he said that.
Esther looked in the mirror. Naturally, she in the mirror is her reflection. The clone doesn’t appear in the mirror unless she makes up her mind.
… … There must be nothing strange in the mirror.
Why is Frontier talking about the mirror now?
Is it just because he’s curious? Is this even a coincidence?
“… … If you want to meet.”
Esther shook her head.
She also had a business with Frontier. That’s why I told Frontier to come to the office.
“Answer my question first.”
“What?”
When Frontier asked, Esther took a moment to organize her thoughts.
Frontier headed to Constell from the mansion first, and the conclusion he reached after much thought and contemplation while he was away.
“Your necklace.”
Esther looked at Frontier’s necklace.
A neat necklace with black jewels.
‘I heard that Frontier made weapons out of nothing.’
It wasn’t limited to just one, but all kinds of weapons.
According to eyewitness information recently investigated, the method probably involved that necklace.
“Is there anything inside that necklace, maybe black water?”
“… … .”
Frontier’s answer, which had always been straightforward and straightforward, finally stopped.
For the first time now, Frontier seemed to be surprised in front of Esther’s eyes.
At least to Esther, it seemed so. I wanted to believe so.
Esther, who thought that she had pushed Frontier, added another word.
“A black lake that is said to lie dormant in a glacier beyond the north. Is ‘The Fragments of Helheim’ really what it is?”
This time it was clear. Frontier’s eyes fluttered and her pupils widened a little.
Frontier was surprised.
I was really surprised.
Esther continued to speak.
“Ancient legend says that Helheim’s fragments were cut from reality after Ragnarok fell, so it was located at the northwest end of Helheim’s final descent into reality. Frontier de Roach, just above the Jeranhes, your family’s reign. Did you not bring it from there?”
“… … .”
“Answer me! Frontier!”
Esther shouted loudly, but Frontier was still speechless.

Now he is gripped by many indescribable complex emotions.But they do it first.
First of all, Frontier thanked Esther.
