142. Logger’s Trap?
“Finally.”
The time has come.
Ernian Hilderan was safely handed over to the Hilderan raid.
Although the third prince may have been faithful to his duties, there was no word that he would cause a heroic act in the empire right now.
Even though it was the calm on the eve of the storm, time was earned.
And that golden hour was the last chance given to Berge.
“Did the blueprint come out?”
“If you want to get to and from the rugged Erzest Mountains with ease, you cannot use a bipedal or track type such as a caterpillar. Therefore, it is designed to be able to move anywhere like a spider by attaching eight legs. Even if it’s on a cliff!”
At first, it was negative, but as soon as there was a hint of possibility, Logger’s professionalism exploded.
If you are going to make it, more beautiful, more certain, more perfect.
It was the result of staying up all night for several days and days and head-to-head with the golemman.
“One bridge will be 22 meters long. When it is folded in half and moved, considering the joint, the actual operating height is about 10m.”
“For fluid movement, 211 joints are planned for each leg, and 315 magic circuits are drawn for smooth flow…”
“The expected supplies required accordingly are . . .”
The ingredients that came out of the logger’s mouth were enormous.
Fortunately, there was no need to create a nucleus to build a bridge on a tower that could be considered a golem in some ways.
The nucleus was the most important heart for the golem, so without a substitute for Magira, they simply need more materials to make the nucleus, and it would not have been possible to make it apart from the no.
This is because the technology to create a tower of several tens of meters and a power source to make the golem move is not yet available in the Werft Kingdom.
“What is the estimated time required?”
“The blueprint is not yet complete, so it is not perfect.”
“So how long will it take?”
“It is the essence of cutting-edge magic engineering that has never been made or even attempted to be made. As it is a sensitive mechanical device, many craftsmen with good dexterity are needed, and naturally, depending on the number and level of the craftsmen…”
“So it depends on how I do it. Is this what you mean?”
“…ahaha, rather than necessarily.”
“Don’t be careful.”
“Ahaha…”
“Gordon.”
“At the top of the golden moon, we have already talked about it. But I don’t think it will be that easy.”
“The reason is?”
“By taking you to the tower, you will eventually get to know the Demon Lord and us. It is impossible to return them to the continent, because there are very few people who are excellent craftsmen who do not have enough connections to have a backlash.”
“Then I’ll just have to make a fuss.”
“Yes?”
“I will kidnap the dwarves.”
The tower is more important than the golden moon top exploding, but if you can also keep the golden moon top, it is right to keep it.
So, rather than disappearing the craftsmen obtained through the top of the golden moon, it was better for the craftsmen to just go crazy and disappear.
“…the Kingdom of Werft will not stand still.”
know. It would be nice not to be found out, but if caught, the Werft Kingdom will be turned upside down. And the moment they decide to overthrow and cry out the demon lord of flames, dwarven weapons will be poured into each country.
Touching the Dwarf Kingdom must be avoided unconditionally.
if there is a back.
“Even if it gets worse anyway, it’s the same. It’s just that having a head cut off and dying is a miscarriage. I’m already dead, so what does it matter?”
“Are you going to die?”
“That’s what it means. Even if there is one more enemy, it will be the same if this plan is completed.”
“Well, on the other hand, if you can’t build a bridge, a weft is added, but it doesn’t, but you die anyway.”
“And above all else, it’s a fight against time. You never know when the Empire will strike, so it is right to bring dwarves with even a little dexterity.”
“So is it.”
“Anyway, I can’t help but feel sorry for you.”
Even if it is true that the current Bergewa tower personnel cannot withstand the imperial power, the Demon King must conform to it and run away.
“I will definitely be able to pay off this debt in the future.”
“Of course it is. In the end, two things matter.”
A huge amount of materials and craftsmen to make them.
There was no big problem as all the materials were brought to the sub-space. If you don’t go all in, you have to go back and forth several times.
The problem was the craftsmen.
It’s not difficult to kidnap them. He told Logger some of the secret burrows he had dug, and even more so as he had the means to completely hide his magi. But after kidnapping and being caught, bringing them back was a problem.
There could be at least tens, or at most hundreds, but to bring them all together, it will only attract attention. However, there was no way living creatures could withstand the subspace, a four-dimensional space.
“That part.”
“yes?”
“Maybe there is a solution.”
“solution?”
“I heard from Charlotte, but if you use magic to freeze people, stop their physical activity, and then cut off the flow of the outside, there is a possibility of surviving in any space. Even though it requires that much magical power.”
“If you freeze it with magic and block the outside, even a living thing can survive in subspace?”
“In Charlotte’s words, yes. But of course it’s not easy. It is said that the level must be high enough to block the energy of another dimension.”
“With Charlotte’s power?”
“It’s possible for a while, but…”
“Is it impossible for a long time?”
“Yes.”
“then···.”
It was obvious why Gordon had to talk about it even though it was impossible.
‘Cause there’s a way No, not right now, but if Berger goes out, there might be a solution somehow.
isn’t it
The Demon King who can be said to be the only ally of Berge, and the owner of the Surima tribes who enjoys freezing the royal family into statues (?).
“I need to find Reina.”
Come to think of it, I didn’t even ask Ugar to ask. What price should I promise?
* * *
“Honestly, it was a long story.”
Reina Sordain gladly accepted the sudden request to meet.
And it was the first word they uttered while facing each other in the Demon King’s office.
The sweet cherry flavor was felt with the horse.
That candy is always in my mouth.
“what?”
“On the one hand, it seemed that you would come to visit your real woman like this. But at the same time, I thought you would never come.”
“The reason is?”
“The former is because of your situation.”
“Looks like I am in danger. You know that you live a life cut off in the snow.”
“Not to that extent.”
Reina’s expression darkened.
“The latter?”
“Pride.”
far-
The tiny cherry-flavored candy shattered in her mouth. Swallowing it, she took out a new candy and put it in her mouth again.
“…how many candies?”
“Always be prepared so you don’t fall. If she conquers Arain, this candy is what she must bring to the Demon Realm.”
“Are you going to eat this too?”
Berge took out the chocolate that Ernyl had given her a while ago. It was a well-packaged, high-quality chocolate.
“chocolate? Do you like this too?”
“No, I got it by accident.”
“I can’t eat it for a long time, so it’s not as good as candy, but I don’t think it’s bad.”
She immediately opened the chocolate and put it in her mouth. A slight smile spread over the sweetness that hit his tongue.
“delicious.”
“I’m glad it’s delicious.”
“But just because I’ve been given this doesn’t mean I can do it for you.”
“Do you know what I can ask for?”
“I’m just guessing.”
“how?”
“Through the situation you are in and your relationship with your mother. I’m sorry for making an alliance first and then saying this.”
Reina also wanted to help Berge like a chimney. Of the other four demon kings, he was the most reliable demon king, and at least nominally, he was in an alliance.
But it was a handshake.
Even if it was possible to save Berge, it was only to postpone one brave act. And the failed blade will become sharper and redirect towards Reina.
If it had been an individual, he might have helped no matter what. Because she was a noble in the underworld who valued honor, and she knew that her words came with responsibility.
But she wasn’t alone. Numerous frost demons, monsters, and monsters belonged to her family and were members of the tower.
“Your mother cannot help you. Monsters, demons, and demons cannot be dispatched. But if there is anything else that my mother can help with, I will do anything to help.”
“As an ally?”
“As an ally.”
“I didn’t do anything for you, I just received it.”
“I understand that your situation has not been so good since then.”
“It’s still related to the Ugar you asked for.”
“It is also the same.”
“·················ogue.”
Berge was perplexed by the seemingly dedicated appearance.
Before the return, the Reina she knew was not like this. Like a frost demon, like a demon king of the frigid cold, he was a cold demon who exudes a lot of chill.
‘Because we didn’t get along well, that wasn’t all, but it’s a big difference.’
It’s like having your head in a flower garden, believing that everything will be all right.
“What would you do if I took everything I could eat and washed my mouth?”
“So you’re saying you’re going to betray your real woman now?”
“I think you trust me too much.”
“You are mistaking something, Berge Deias.”
Reina’s gaze fell coldly. After the return, Berger flinched at the first sight he saw.
It was her real face she had seen before returning.
“My wife doesn’t trust you too much. Do you know the proverb of the Frost Demons?”
“…if the Seorima people hold a grudge, the volcano will also freeze?”
“It’s good to know. The anger of the Frostmas is the deepest and coldest in the Demon Realm. And be persistent.”
blatantly-
White frost fell on the table.
“If you betray your mother, her ice will be directed at you first, not at humans.”
“…and even if it’s a crisis that humans will face?”
“It may be delayed for a while. I’m not an idiot enough to stand by my mother’s head falling off to freeze other people’s hair.”
However.
Qwajik-
White icicles fell vertically. It passed through Berge’s cheek, smashed the armrest of the chair, and crashed into the floor.
“I will see the end. Whether your mother died or you died.”
“…I do not mean that I will betray. I said that because I was worried about giving too much.”
“Then you are lucky. However, it is too much of a concern. Because she is not as naive as you think.”
“… it looks like it.”
“Now, my mother is giving you unconditional favors, but she thinks this is an investment. You’re going through a crisis, so you’re just holding back a little bit more.”
“This is scary.”
“But you need it now. is not it?”
“Are you saying that no demons, demons, or monsters can support you?”
“Because I can’t kill my vassals for you.”
“Well, that’s fine.”
Finish.
“All I need is the outside part.”
“External part?”
“I need your power. A cold that freezes everything and traps it.”
“chill?”
“okay. A cold that can freeze and trap people. So that even if you put it in a small space, you will be fine. Can you give me?”
“Are you planning on kidnapping someone?”
“okay. We need to confuse people. But if my identity is revealed now, the situation will only get worse.”
“It is possible if you put the coldness of the original woman in the magic sphere. It will be less efficient than if the woman herself uses her own magic, but if she puts her mind to it, she can survive in a subspace for more than a week.”
“It is perfect. That was exactly what I wanted.”
“How many magic balls?”
“the more the better.”
this price.
“If I survive, I will definitely pay you back twice.”
“Don’t expect it. She wants you to survive.”
“Never disappoint.”
That day, Berge obtained a magic ball with 50 frozen magic stored there.
* * *
“It would be like this.”
Berge turned into a fail state, and looked at the map the logger had drawn.
There are many cities of the dwarves, but the place that Berzee chose was the royal capital of Berft.
Although the boundaries and dangers were more serious than anywhere else, there were also many outstanding craftsmen. Talent tends to flock to the center.
Then, it would be the worst, the worst, but there was an alternative.
Entering through dozens of secret passages drilled by the logger.
Some of them must have been blocked after the logger hijacking, so to confirm that something was not blocked, and to hide that the status of Fail officially entered the royal capital.
“Here you are.”
Inside the well-disguised rock crevice, Berger crumpled up. His face was distorted by the ground pressing his entire body.
‘Logger, this bastard has all been dug up to fit his body.’
Come to think of it, the secret passageway was this narrow the last time I took the ghost of mana, maybe?
The grumbling stopped after ten minutes. Because there was no way to go further.
‘You’re in vain.’
So I went around the whole mountain range and identified eight blocked passages.
‘Isn’t it all blocked?’
Fortunately it wasn’t. The ninth passage continued endlessly. I felt like I was heading to an underground city, and I went down gradually.
After a while, the dark passage came to an end. But it felt different from before. A light tap made a hollow sound.
This end is perforated.
Berge pierced the wall at once.
A cloud of dust flew out.
Berger frowned and showed his face.
hoo-
“···who?”
‘Roger, this crazy baby is …’
And with dirt on his face, his eyes met Louise Werft, who was holding an axe.
