Episode 75. Pride of Humanity (2)
The empire’s secret laboratory hidden underground was very large.
I didn’t think it would be a big deal because the door was narrow, but when I saw the wide open road, it wasn’t like that.
“This is not a laboratory, but a maze created to hide the laboratory. “You must find the hidden second door to enter the lab.”
That’s right. That’s right, it’s Harry Fishel.
“What kind of maze is this?”
“I don’t understand.”
“What are civilized people?”
The warriors of our tribal alliance, exhausted from the bloody war, chased after Harry with expressions full of dissatisfaction.
Tsk. It would have been nice to have Captain Zombie too.
I looked it up earlier, but the status window only showed that it was no longer controllable.
It appears that the tunnel demon destroyed the elevator with its tentacles.
My precious super soldier body…
Actually, this is not the problem.
“Uh huh. “Please wait a little longer.”
This old man who politely talks back to the barbarians is the real problem.
It has now been 30 minutes since I confidently said that I could find the second door in 10 minutes.
– Are you sure you know the shortcut?
“You didn’t say you exchanged letters with your friend. “I heard the general idea.”
Harry said that, but I couldn’t believe it.
“The road split into two again… greatness… If this goes this way… “
How can I trust an old man who mumbles like this every time he takes a step?
“Let’s just wait… “
“Grandpa, are you sure you really know?”
Why would Paya, who hates to criticize others, say something like this?
Even though I told him to get some rest, Payada followed along eagerly, saying it was okay. Even though I’ve come this far, I’m having a hard time finding the way, so I’m probably getting angry.
Lakhe’s expression is becoming more and more distorted, and it looks like he’s going to explode soon.
“I heard it a long time ago, so I was just confused for a moment. I know you’re feeling anxious after a tense battle.
In times like these, you need to calm down and calm your mind… “
“Well. “I think it’s some forgetful old man playing a prank.”
Eventually, the racket exploded.
“…”
Harry, who was gently flicking his tongue, gasps and closes his mouth.
This old man is very strong and weak.

It’s not that I don’t understand. There is no one who wouldn’t be scared when they see Lakhe slaughtering demons.
Now it is my turn to step forward.
– Are you sure there are no traps?
“…That’s right. “I heard that they all were dismantled because there were no magic stones to maintain.”
– Wizard Harry. Do you tend to get motion sickness a lot?
“Hmm? “Not really.”
– I see.
Well said.
– Lakhe. Put Harry in the cart and go through the maze. Harry will provide directions.
There are several carts pulled to retrieve golems.
“It’s a good idea.”
Lakke grins.
“Well, now that I think about it again, every time I ride a carriage… “Oh my!”
Lake grabbed Harry, who was making excuses, by his collar and threw him onto the cart.
“If you don’t want to die, hold on tight, old man.”
Then the cart was pulled at such a speed that Harry’s beard was blowing in the wind.
Interesting Goryeojang… No, it’s a rickshaw experience.
“Huhhh~!”
– Tell me where to go.
“Outward, outward, to the left!”
Okay. It’s much more comfortable.
How nice it is to talk so quickly.
“This time, right!”
Is this a medieval navigation system? That’s great.
I quickly got through the maze with Super Lake Thingsingka.
I should have done this a long time ago.
Oh, I told Paya and other warriors to follow me slowly.
There is a lot of foreign matter (mainly the bodily fluids of bug people) on the wheels of the cart, which leaves traces when moved. It will come to you on its own.
“Uh… I can’t summon Teunteun… “
Paya’s murmurs, who wanted to follow me until the end, linger in my ears.
Paya received blessings in this war, or more precisely, completed her second job change.
It is natural to gain new skills after completing the second job change.
Now Paya can summon Teunteun to her location anytime, anywhere.
This is the so-called ‘Summon Strong’ skill.
I tried summoning him for a moment, and a bunch of blue light came out and Tunteun came out.
Because his body was so large, it was difficult to move around, so I reverse-summoned him again.
“I can see the door.”
“Lee. Please get off now. I really feel like I’m going to die… Wow!”
Harry spat out vomit and stood in front of the second door.
“Will you wait for the warriors?”
– That’s right.
There may be some threat behind the door. There may be a ‘murderous robot that gains an ego and goes crazy’ that often appears in movies and comics.
Or they are golemologists who have turned into devil worshippers.
After all the warriors gathered together, the second door was unlocked.
It was a 100% pure metal door that was thicker than the first door, but when Lakke applied force for a moment, it opened.
Originally, it would have been held by 15 men.
“It’s spacious.”
As Lake said, the space inside the door was very spacious.
Unlike the dark laboratory of scientists I imagined, it is a very comfortable space.
Flowers, trees, birds and insects are painted on the walls, giving an open feeling.
The height seems to be about 50 to 60 meters.
It is a state-of-the-art facility that barbarians could never build.
– It’s okay.
In addition, there was a sky mural painted on the ceiling, which was as realistic as a real sky.
It looks like it was carefully designed to give the impression that it is not a crowded basement.
Is it for the mental health of golemologists?
Well, isn’t there a saying that if you live without looking at the sky, you will go crazy?
I don’t know about other empires, but the welfare of scientists may have been good.
– I can’t see the golem.
“There will be a separate studio. “It’s most likely at the end of the lab.”
Well, a research lab is not just a space for research. The space to eat, sleep, and rest must also be large.
I walked around looking around the inside of the research institute.
There was also a graveyard in the corner, and it seemed to belong to the golemologists who died at the research institute.
“It’s too quiet. There isn’t even a trace of life. “There will be no survivors.”
Lakhe, who has superhuman senses, confirmed.
Harry walked silently without even arguing. It is a silence that feels sad.
“Lisa… This person… “
Harry entered the room marked Rest Area and knelt down in front of a skeleton.
The unidentified skeleton faced death sitting on her chair, dressed neatly in a robe, perhaps trying to preserve her dignity.
Is this the wizard friend who exchanged letters with Harry?
“…The name is Lisa, my friend. She was a very smart woman, and she loved to write things down. “She probably left a diary.”
Harry searched his desk and found a notebook.
– I will also look at it.
The records of indigenous people who experienced the apocalypse are precious. There may be a trick to overcome this apocalypse.
I watched Harry flipping through his notebook.
[…Thus, in front of the apocalypse, the best golemologists of the empire gathered in one place.
In the Empire’s state-of-the-art facilities.
Oh, except for one person.
Harry, I wish you were here too.
You would give up the opportunity to leave your mark on human history just because of one granddaughter. As a single person, I probably won’t be able to understand for the rest of my life.]
[…We decided to focus on mass production of automatic combat golems. If you mix this special metal found in the Skull Mountains, you will be able to withstand attacks from demons.
It will take more than a year to complete various trials and errors and come up with a plausible result. Until then, I can only hope that the empire will hold on well.]
[…Unbelievable, unbelievable news has arrived.
The empire collapsed. The Magic Tower is also completely out of contact.
I wanted to keep it a secret for everyone, but whoever leaked it has already spread the rumor.
There are enough materials in the lab, so this number of people can survive for about 3 years, but will the spirit of others be able to survive for 3 years?]
[The empire has collapsed, so mass-producing weapons is impossible. The entire project was destroyed. The name of the new project is ‘Geoshin’. The goal is to create a giant golem that can stand alone against an army of demons.]
[…I feel uneasy because the young people are incompetent. Harry, it would have been nice if you were there.]
[Those who tried to run away were caught. I wanted to check if my family was alive or dead.
Unfortunately, I cannot send you this lab as there is a possibility that it will be exposed to enemies.
I’m sorry.]
[Ralph committed suicide.
Although we are encouraging people, we are slowly reaching our limits.
I couldn’t give a proper answer to the question, “What’s the use of all this when the empire has collapsed?”
I have no choice but to believe that even though the empire has fallen, humanity has not fallen.]
[I buried my colleagues. There are not many people left. I’m tired.]
[There is not enough material. All traps installed in the maze were torn down.]
[One piece of equipment went bad. There is no substitute.]
[Well, there will be no shortage of food.]
[Should I have gotten married when I had the chance? What would it have been like if I had had a child?]
The writing gets shorter and shorter.
[I feel like the time given to me is running out.]
… The following is the last article.
[The giant has been completed.
There are no magic stones to move, and there is no pilot, but the colossus has been completed.
Personally, I would like to say that it is an unprecedented war weapon in human history.
Is it a bit presumptuous to say that it is the result of human intelligence?
My role is now over.
The Colossus is my pride, and the pride of golemologists.
I still believe that we can end this apocalypse.
I thought there would be someone who would read my diary… I believe that Colossus can do its job.
If you have read the diary, tell it about the Colossus.
There is little ink. I’ll end this now.
Ah, the giant is in the studio.
There may be a bit of a shortage of parts, so take care of that.]
“…Ugh.”
Harry finally burst into tears. It’s my first time seeing an older person cry.
I feel solemn without realizing it.
“To see the giant… let’s go.”
Harry wiped away his tears and led us into the studio.
A huge robot that seemed to be 50 meters tall stood tall among the mechanical devices.
With the sky painted in paint behind.
– Pride.
Did you say it was the pride of golemologists?
No.

This was the pride of the people of this world who did not give up hope until the end.
