Chapter 121 – Over Technology (1)
-Well, who are these guys?
“You don’t have to worry about it. It’s just a reference video.”
Unsurprisingly, Choi Seon-woo had doubts after watching a video of muscular dwarves with their upper chests on. As I thought in advance, I responded calmly. The dwarves in the video didn’t look like dwarves at all because everything was set to dwarf size anyway.
It’s just…Most of them were just rough, hairy men. If you don’t know it, you’ll feel like watching a masculine blacksmithing documentary filmed in a foreign country.
In the cut-out screen, the dwarves were smelting using mana with their own spells.
-So what I have to make.
“The waterwheel that powers the workshop in the video. Can you make that fully automatic?”
I ordered something more specific. In the dwarves’ workshop, the bellows that raised the temperature of the blast furnace and the giant hammer that smelted large metals were powered by a mechanism that turned gears.
Originally, it is correct to install it on a waterway and turn it with the power of water. But now, as a last resort, the Dwarves were using their livestock and their own power to turn it around.
Even if they could make a lake, they couldn’t make a river, and even if they used the lake to make a waterway themselves, the lake they made in the mountainous terrain where the dwarves were located was too small to make enough water power.
-It’s too easy if you’re simply making machines. Shall we touch something else? I think it’s possible to make that workshop as it is.
“For one thing, until the end of the life of the machine itself, it should be able to be used almost permanently. So simple and easy as possible.”
Choi Seon-woo said it was possible. I placed another order on him.
The thing I was most concerned about while conceiving this plan was the maintenance and repair of the facility. Because it supplies a fully automatic power unit using an electric circuit.
Dwarves create things by tapping metal with mana technology that we don’t know about. It is their own secret technique and secret that they cannot dare to learn or covet.
So, even in the eyes of the dwarves, if they saw a motor using electrical technology, they would regard it as overtechnology.
In such a situation, if the facility is damaged or has problems, there must be a way to repair it, but the structure should be as simple as possible so that the dwarves will dare to repair it.
-To put it all together, make it as simple as possible with minimal parts…I see what you mean. You can make it with a solar panel for charging, a motor to turn the cogs, and the rest of the parts. But if I make it like this, the size will be a little bigger, right? No matter how hard it is, I can’t make the main parts smaller than 1cm.
“It’s a bit bigger…That’s fine. Then please.”
First of all, the phone call with Choi Seon-woo ended after receiving an answer that it would be possible to produce it easily. Considering his work speed, he would be able to receive the goods in less than a day.
‘Now I’ve solved one.’
How did one of the two ‘problems that cannot be solved by oneself’ that the dwarves are experiencing have been resolved?
While thinking about the remaining one, I decided to just throw it out and picked up my phone again.
“Are you crazy? Can you get me a bullet?”
“To be precise, there is gunpowder that is like that little crystal that is used in bullets. Smokeless gunpowder…Isn’t that the best? I looked it up on the internet, but it was just hard to find.”
“Really, what the hell are you doing? You really don’t see it on the news, do you?”
Kim Dong-chun sighed at my words to get some bullets.
One of the dwarves’ problems is lack of military power and mine development. I decided to give them gunpowder to catch those two rabbits.
Actually, a lot of thought followed. Even when I was about to give it to the elves, I was hesitant because I thought there would be too much trouble.
But now the time has come. I wanted to help them.
There were a few bullets in the revolver I already had, but gunpowder is a consumable item, so I contacted you because I thought I should get more.
“I can help you. Now.”
“Oh, too.”
“But I can’t give it away for free like now. Up until now, you seemed to have gotten better, so I just helped you, but seeing you do it, you look a bit suspicious beyond being okay.”
However, unlike now, he began to doubt me. Well, there are not a few things that I have been forced to take care of without pretense so far, so it is only that what is to come has come.
“You said you don’t need it because you paid for it. What do you want me to do instead?”
“That’s right. If you’re all recovered, help me with one thing. There is a place we need to go to at our company this time.”
“Ha.”
Anyway, it seemed sincere. If you see me openly bringing up the story even though you already know that I took school from the Hunter job. In fact, his voice was sincere.
“There is nothing I can do. Unless it takes a long time.”
I replied that it didn’t matter because I wasn’t going to lose. I was in a hurry to avoid it like I am now. Even if you can’t face it head-on like Serenian, you won’t run away anymore.
“…Are you really feeling better?”
Just when he heard my answer, his voice suddenly changed. It seems that I was victimized by his reflection.

“aaa!! I can’t eat it, really.”
This is a planter in the mountainous terrain where the dwarves’ workshop and kingdom are located. Right now, the elves are busy and confused with the war going on in the great forest, but the dwarves weren’t the only ones here.
There were also a handful of elves helping them who were struggling with manpower shortages. At first, he helped the dwarves by manipulating the Battlebot, which had come to reside here in case of emergency, and now Ren was one of them, helping them with his own body.
“How many times has it spread already? Ren.”
“Right.”
Even now, Ren was carrying a fork on his back, carrying ore, and walking to the workshop where the Battlebots couldn’t reach.

He was sweating so much that his bobbed hair became heavy. Her sister Leah, who put her hand on his waist and clicked her tongue, was a bonus.
‘I’m a precious body, so why…’
As a man, I couldn’t bear to ask Leah, who was younger than himself and a high elf, why you didn’t work and just watch.
However, it was impossible to avoid crying. After drones, he became the only being who could control a battlebot called the black bull, and his shoulders, which had risen to the limit, were now heavy with the burden on his back and he had no time to straighten.
The problem was that there was no way to get rid of this because it was all his karma that he went around shouting loudly to help out. Even so, he didn’t know that the dwarves would make him shoulder the burden.
‘If only I had been active at that time.’
Ren believed that all of this was due to his inability to play an active part in the bloody battle with the Demon Beast Earthworm that took place in the heavy rain. This is because she had to escape to another area after being told that the weak point of the battle bots, which are electronic devices, is water.
“If you’re having a hard time, give it to me. But it’s disappointing, if you’re a strong man, this much… But you’re still immature, so what?”
“Ha, because I can?”
Because of his pride, Ren couldn’t resist when the dwarves learned how to deal with him. That time when I finally try to stand up again with my wobbly legs.
“Wait a minute. The queen is calling my brother right now.”
“Me?”
A high elf trait that allows them to communicate their thoughts to each other by using the fact that they can communicate with the World Tree together. Through it, Serenian sent a message to Leah.
She wanted to send Len, who was supposed to be by her side, to where she was right now.
“Go. If it is his order, you must follow it.”
Galon, who had a mischievous laugh, took Ren’s luggage instead and told him to go quickly.
“Hey, I heard you called.”
“Among the elves in Eden right now, you are the only one left, Ren. Come here. As I said, you must have left all the metal behind, right?”
Ren went to Serenian to the plastic dome. A corner there, in the middle of a deep forest.
Serenian, who had left behind the bow he usually carried as one, was standing there with the dwarf Liam.
“What the hell is this?”
“A meteorite from the sky.”
“And magnets. Very powerful. It makes me wonder if there is such a strong magnet.”
Serenian and Liam told Ren, who was wide-eyed at seeing it, about its identity.
“It may contain the source of the spirit. As if the lightning spirit that reacted to me came out of the black bull’s heart. You should give it a try. You don’t need anything, just calm your mind…Believe in yourself.”
Serenian moved away from Ren.
At the same time, Ren’s heart pounded. Being in contact with the existence of the spirit is like a miracle that is not allowed to a fair number of elves.
The Elementalists currently known are Ersilla and Serenian, the chiefs of the many forest clans. Only two
If you succeed in contacting the spirit and bringing out its existence, you will become a being standing shoulder to shoulder with the two heroes.
“Ah.”
Ren stretched out his hand, groaned, and finally grasped the cold metal larger than himself.
