Episode 121. blue bird (2)
Yuri’s face stiffened as she received the score sheet.
The words written on the paper clearly indicated the intention of the conversation as he wanted.
However, what he did not expect was a part included in the sentence.
‘Redner’s oblivion?’
What does this mean?
Did he know that he was related to Johan Redner?
How?
Yuri’s eyes narrowed slightly as she quickly thought of this and that.
It was then.
Sreuk – Tak!
A score sheet pops out once more.
【Come up to 7 stars.】
‘7 star?’
Yuri, who expressed a slight doubt, moved as instructed.
Unlike usual, the iron gates of the 7-star institution that arrived were wide open.
The glass that entered it without hesitation.
What greeted him was the cracked ceiling and the stairs descending through it.
“… Are there stairs here?”
I went into the 7-star several times, but I never imagined that there would be a hidden space with an open ceiling.
It was because the build and finish of the organ were natural to that extent.
At this, Yuri climbed the stairs with a slight expectation.
Tung-Tung-Tung-.
The sound of glass climbing the metal stairs echoed quite loudly through the narrow aisle.
The slope of the stairs was steeper than I thought, and the length was quite long.
After climbing for several minutes, I finally saw an iron gate at the end of the passage.
Yuri pulled the iron door without hesitation.
Kik-.
What greeted Yuri was a sound like thunder.
Kwalung – Bang!
Yuri sensed the threat right away.
When the roar was heard, the iron door, which had been slightly opened, closed again like a ghost.
and the sound that follows.
Kwa Lung- Tang- Tang- Tang!
Yuri, who was holding on to the door, laughed awkwardly at the piercing vibration transmitted through her hand.
“hahahaha, hwa, are you angry?”
I don’t know what’s going on behind this iron gate, but I’m fully aware that I shouldn’t open it now.
‘Wow, that’s why they attack all the time?’
I thought I wouldn’t be able to talk casually with a good laugh.
because of what you did
Still, I wondered if he would start cutting the knife as soon as he saw his face.
‘It’s not a knife, but something strange came flying.’
It was fortunate that I had prepared a little just in case.
Taang-Tang-Tang-!
After that, the roar and vibration that continued for a long time died down, and the glass opened the door carefully.
“Are you done?”
And the answer to that question came back.
bang!
… I guess it wasn’t over yet.
The sparks that suddenly jumped out in front of her eyes turned Yuri into a turtleneck and hurriedly closed the iron door.
After that, there is a continuous sound of banging and banging.
In the silence that came after a while, Yuri opened the door again and shouted.
“Can I come in?”
This time there were no sparks, so Yuri cautiously opened the door further.
Then, the acrid smell first stimulated Yuri’s sense of smell.
Yuri opened her eyes wide at the scenery beyond the door that soon came into her field of vision.
‘and… … ?’
Beyond the door was a fairly wide space.
However, such a space was filled with various mechanical devices to the extent that it felt cramped.
Hundreds of copper tubes.
Thousands of metal devices and thousands of strands of metal strings.
The space was filled with mechanical devices whose purpose and identity were unknown.
And a man in his 50s standing in the middle.
He was glaring at the glass with an annoyed look in his hand, holding a strange wad of iron billowing with gray smoke.
Seeing him, Yuri’s eyes widened.
‘uh?’
What surprised Yuri was the man’s appearance.
Thick neck with thick limbs.
A flat face and a messy brown beard.
However, what caught Yuri’s attention most of all was her height, which seemed to be 130 cm no matter how high she set it.
As far as Yuri knew, there was only one race with such physical characteristics.
A race that inherited the blood of the ancient Dwarves.
as soon as… … .
“The Gauls?”
Of course, it could have been an ordinary person with a little unusual physical characteristics, but Yuri was convinced that the being in front of him was a Gaul.
It had to be.
‘under? Why didn’t I think of that? With this level of technology, of course I should have thought of the Goljok?’
Among the feats that made the Gauls famous were metallurgy and alchemy.
Otherwise, creating and running such an elaborate institution would never have been easy.
And as if to prove Yuri’s thoughts, an annoyed voice flew in.
“Why, are you seeing the Gauls for the first time?”
It sounded like an annoyance, but it felt like there was no point in living anymore, so Yuri opened the door and entered.
“Is this your first time seeing it?”
The moment I said that and stepped in.
Yuri flinched when he saw the iron gate with holes like beehives.
‘this… Was it more dangerous than I thought?’
An unknown memorization that made a 10 cm thick iron gate into this shape.
I don’t know what the speed was, but the destructive power was enough for killing.
Yuri glanced at the black lump of metal emitting gray smoke that the goljok in front of him was holding in both hands.
‘That seems to be a device that launches this memorization.’
And, perhaps noticing Yuri’s gaze, the Gaul man threw the memorized launcher to the side.
“Maybe it was made roughly, but the power is rubbish. Tsk.”
He clicked his tongue in disapproval and glared at Yuri again.
“Is it you? That bastard who harassed me so I couldn’t even get off work?”
“Is it that one? Who wants to leave work who insulted me right away?”
The man glared at Yuri, who struck back without losing a word.
“Huh, I’m afraid someone isn’t the son of the Redner family who got hit by that damn thing, and the way he talks is also damn good.”
It was again.
He mentioned Redner after seeing himself.
Yuri hinted at this.
“You seem to have misunderstood something, but I’m not that f*cking Redner family kid, am I?”
At that, the man snorted.
“Looking at the shameless cheating, he’s just the Redner family’s bastard.”
“… Isn’t it real?”
“Do you see the rotten knots in my eyes? Traces of the brain wings are openly left everywhere in the organs you smashed, but where did you get a red-hot frog!”
Yuri gave a slightly startled look at the Gaul man’s cry.
‘Have you recognized the brain wing?’
Didn’t even see the brain wing in person, just the traces?
Since entering the cradle, he has been using it quite a lot, including cloud and thunder wings, but no one recognizes it, considering Yohan’s reputation.
It was the same even for Thearesia, who was most often exposed to brain wings.
At first, I wondered if they didn’t notice because they were still inexperienced jockeys, but now I vaguely guessed that it wasn’t.
Yuri decided to check if his guess was correct.
“Signs of brain wings? What is it?”
“This bastard is still going all the way! There are numerous chess techniques that deal with lightning strikes, but is there another chess technique that leaves a unique trace? Other people might not know, but our clan won’t notice!”
“Is it so?”
Yuri shook her head.
It was just as he had guessed.
Why people didn’t recognize brain wings.
It was just ‘because it was common’.
‘Certainly, the characteristics of Unbo and Noeik… It’s not common.’
The characteristic of Unbo and Noeik is that they are fast.
In addition, the fact that the brain wing causes a thunderbolt?
Other than that, there were no major features that stood out.
And judging from the story of the Gaul man, it seems that there are more horse chess with such characteristics than expected.
Of course, there would have been no magic trick as powerful as the Redner family’s magic trick.
When Yuri nodded, the Gaul man also nodded in tandem.
“Yeah, it was too… what?”
“Oh, no big deal. Just like you said, your brain is right.”
The man snorted with a face that said yes to Yuri’s vaguely confused voice.
“Heh, look at that.”
Yuri took a closer look at the Gaul man’s reaction.
‘If you can recognize the traces of the brain wing, it means that you have a deep connection with the Redner family… … .’
At first, it didn’t seem like an adversarial relationship.
Although he grunted and cursed, there was a bit of welcome in his tone when he mentioned the Redner family.
Like meeting a really old friend.
Yuri shrugged at this.
“By the way, I’m not the Redner family bastard, but the Yuri Holland bastard?”
“Where else did you get a frog… … .”
“If you don’t believe me, check it out later.”
With that confidence, the Gaul man gazed intently at Yuri.
“Yuri Holland? really… Not Redner?”
“Is it Holland?”
“If it’s your personality, you must be of Redner lineage, right?”
“… … .”
“Is your mother Redner? Or that there is someone from the Redner family among your distant ancestors?”
… Is it because of the mood? Where do you think I heard this?
Yuri said firmly with a little annoyance.
“at all.”
“No way… can’t you? Then how is that son of a b*tch learning his brain?”
A man muttering with a confused face as if his common sense had been denied.
Then, as if he had finally found the answer, his eyes twinkled, and then he sighed in pity.
“Oh, I’ve heard the news that my Redner family’s fortunes are on the decline, but… … .”
“… … .”
“Has the family’s family’s family’s festivities declined to the point of selling them? Tsk tsk.”
Yuri let out a sigh when he saw the tongue-tied guy.
“hahahaha, you can think of it as you like. Is it the Gaul way of greeting someone who invites you to talk and then attacks you right away?”
“Think of what you did! I’m going to do it properly and leave. If you have any grudge against me, break it all down, break it!”
“But… If I didn’t do this, you wouldn’t even be interested in me, would you?”
“… Are you crazy?”
“great! I’ll say it right away, without going round and round. This institution here was created by you, right?”
“then?”
“Tell me some tricks!”
“… what skill?”
“How to make an organ like this?”
“You are crazy.”
Well, this was a guy who had a problem not only with his personality, but also with his mental head.
The Gaul man said so.
he said in a cold tone.
“why me?”
“How will I tell you?”
“I have no intention of telling you what you do.”
“Ah, don’t do that.”
“Isn’t that what you guys do? If it were you, would you tell me that you want me to learn about your family’s horsemanship?”
“I am an orphan?”
“… Then, will you tell me that you want me to know the martial arts you have learned!”
“I’ll let you know once I ask the old man and he says it’s okay.”
“Inspiration?”
“Because I have an old man who taught me martial arts.”
“… I will be thrilled.”
Looking at Yuri, who couldn’t communicate at all, the Gaul man waved his hand with an annoyed face.
“Okay, I don’t want to talk anymore, so get out of here.”
“Ah, stop doing that and tell me! Or will you keep beating me up?”
Now it’s a threatening glass.
At this, the Gaul man snorted.
“Either way.”
“… really?”
“Why do you think I called you here?”
“well?”
“I wanted to show you the taste of the special gunpowder before the duty shift!”
In other words, it meant freedom from that madman.
Even if he didn’t achieve his goal, he is a cool guy on the inside after pouring bullets coolly.
He grinned at Yuri.
“It was an unpleasant encounter, so let’s not see each other again.”
Then the Gaul man hit the red button on one side with his fist.
“… … ?!”

Momentarily, Yuri, who wanted to be attacked again, flinched and prepared a defensive posture.
But there was no expected attack.
but… … .
Stung-!
It’s just that the soles of my feet are bare.
‘… uh?!’
In the slow flow of time.
The eyes of the slowly sinking glass were filled with the mocking eyes of the Gaul man looking down at him.
In response, Yuri shouted something.
“Xia… … !”
He couldn’t even finish his words and fell right down.
Tung-.
The floor that disappeared left and right like that returns to its original state.
Looking at the place where Yuri disappeared, the Gaul man muttered softly.
“Xia… … ?”
* * *
On top of a cliff several meters high.
One side of the wall, which I thought was a rock, was opened and a fairly large hole was formed.
Dreuk-.
And there was a strange sound that I didn’t know if it was a scream or something.
“… aaa!”
Soon, the hole that had ejected the screaming person returned to its original state.
Hung-!
Glass slides down the slope for a few minutes before being thrown back into the air.
He immediately somersaulted in the air and landed neatly on the ground.
widely-.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he looked around.
‘Here?’
After confirming that she was near the cliff, Yuri turned her gaze back.
It was to find the trap he fell into.
But there was no trace of the hole he came out of.
All you can see are cliffs.
In fact, the corners of Yuri’s mouth twitched at the perfect camouflage.
‘A trap that penetrates a whole cliff?’
In fact, it was more like an emergency exit passage than a trap, but the technology that used an entire cliff was amazing.
Because of this, greed dwelled in Yuri’s eyes.
‘this… … .’
Originally, Yuri had a desire to learn institutional knowledge.
But now things are a little different.
‘I really want to learn!’
The word ‘must’ was added in front of the desire to learn.
