Golem.
An artificial giant created using nuclear and magical circuits. The essence of magic engineering.
It was the guy Berge wanted the Logger to make.
“Hey, that’s Orichalcum!”
Logger shouted.
Subtle brass light. It was a golem made of magic metal, Orichalcum.
Because it is so hard that it cannot be smelted without a certain skill and a special technique, and it reacts to injection of mana to make it harder, it is a metal that is sometimes used for the outer walls of special fortresses or high-end armor.
It made up the body of five golems.
“Would you like that whole precious thing? No, looking at the subtle iridescent color, it looks like it was made of an alloy mixed with other metals or applied over it… Oh my God, is it Akan?”
“You look good.”
“Yeah, when you see something like that, of course… Oh, no!”
Aside from Logger’s admiration, the golems were faithful to their work.
He padded the falling wall with his own body and made it stand up. Even in the pouring avalanche, the human camp was protected.
Of course, it was all I had to endure, but it was important that I made it.
“…you were hiding something like that.”
I was hoping that the avalanche would cause quite a bit of damage. unfortunately it became
“Still, it seems that the damage is not completely absent.”
“Right.”
It was just as Croutu had said. The hastily erected barrier did not completely cover the camp, and the snow that had turned along the wall penetrated some of the camp.
Of course, it was a very crude level to be called damage. Almost half of the magic tent or camp was blown away, but there were no casualties.
“Logger.”
“Yes, yes?”
“That’s what I want. Can you make it?”
“note···.”
“The answer is not cool.”
“Although I am quite proficient in magic engineering, it is a masterpiece that even the most professional golem masters have a hard time making.”
The difficulty of the golem increases in proportion to its size.
As the size of the golem increases, the power required to move increases and the load it must bear increases.
In order to catch all of them, a high-level magic circle is engraved.
What if it was an alloy of Oricalcum that made the golem’s body so difficult to handle?
“So you can’t?”
“It’s not that I can’t do it, but if you bring in one expert, I’ll do it anyway.”
“expert?”
“Isn’t there a lot there?”
Hehe. Logger smiled brightly and pointed to the wizard controlling the golem.
Could this child have completely forgotten that he is a hero?
“…if possible, even that golem. If you open it up, you can really get a lot out of it.”
The same madness he had when he said he wanted to tear down the tower was seen.
“If you can, I will.”
But now was the time to overcome the immediate difficulties rather than find the loot after victory.
“What should I do?”
Croutu asked.
“If such golems are holding up, all the monsters will explode if they stick their heads out.”
“What if?”
“Let them all explode.”
After all, the mountains are wide and there are many monsters. Even if they die a little, it’s not a big deal.
Even if they use the Orcs to block it easily, the monsters that come every day will gnaw at their minds.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a sharp score to destroy that damn golem?
“let’s go.”
“Yes.”
“·················ogue.”
“Logger.”
“Yes, yes! going!”

The avalanche alerted Akan.
“Is there a possibility that the Demon King intentionally caused the avalanche?”
“I have never heard of such a demon king.”
“Then is it just a coincidence?”
“I am not sure about that either. The mountain of Erzestra was not conquered for a long time. It is not clear what kind of monsters live here or what kind of environment it is. And whether it’s intentional or not, it doesn’t change what we do.”
At the words of the Blue Meteor Wizard, Cain nodded.
“Well, whether the demon lord caused an avalanche or a natural occurrence, it is the same to prevent it.”
Akan started advancing again. However, due to fear of an avalanche, the speed had to be slower.
And as slow as turtles, they naturally became the target of the monsters that hunted for their prey.
“It’s a groundhound!”
Starting with wolf-type monsters that are over 3m in size and form a group.
“Trolls, stop it!”
“A twin-headed ogre has appeared!”
familiar monsters.
“Crazy, Fear Gorgon!”
“Scramble the golems!”
“Never crash head-on!”
They originally live in grasslands and highlands, but even monsters that look like giant cows covered in fur that have been modified to fit into the snowy mountains.
It was like a storm.
“I see Fer Orcs from time to time, but they don’t attack directly. It feels like you are driving monsters on purpose.”
“It seems that the demon king is really beating the orcs.”
Akan, with five golems and a titan chimera named Cher, blocked the monsters more easily than expected.
But it could not be perfect, and damage and fatigue were accumulating little by little.
And in that situation.
“many.”
“I will write.”
The only one who was excited was Lavinia Akan.
“I can’t use it.”
“write.”
“I can’t use it.”
“write.”
She rummaged through the corpses of the monsters that had their white eyes dyed red. Hearts, bones, leather and even tendons. All useful corpses were sucked into her subspace.
“Cher, stronger.”
Whoa-
Having achieved satisfactory results, Lavinia laughed happily.
Her friend, the Titan, hurrahed and shouted.
The appearance of Lavinia dismantling the body with monster blood all over her body could not be said to be okay with wearing sunglasses.
“…I’m sorry for the rude question, but are all the princesses of Akan like that?”
“···Your sister is a bit special. Thanks to that, there is a way to find the Demon King’s Tower, so it’s a good thing, isn’t it?”
Hmmm.
Cain tried to avoid Granada’s gaze.

The banquet of the Heroes’ Guild is special.
Numerous heroes are invited, and to see them, many powerful people who transcend nationalities and races come together.
‘And the main character is me.’
Although there were parts that were not made by the Demon King, the rest was the result of completely cultivating it with his abilities.
‘It would have been difficult for anyone to achieve if it wasn’t for me in the first place.’
The Demon King is just there.
“Are you here?”
I walked through the long hallway and stood in front of the banquet hall door. The knights guarding the door recognized Hillen and fell for him.
“It is an honor to meet you. Hillen.”
“thank you.”
“Can I speak your position with my mouth?”
“It’s overrated. He is just a warrior.”
“No one will be able to denigrate Hillen-sama, who killed the two demon kings, as a single hero.”
The head of the guild, announcing the position, cleared his throat. and shouted
“The great warrior who subjugated the demon king of lust and destroyed the tower of the demon king, subjugated the demon king of beasts and destroyed the tower, and protected the 2 princesses of Werft from the demon king of lust! Hero Hillen Cargill is entering!”
After a long term, the door opened. The sweet melody of the banquet hall stopped for a moment. Everyone’s eyes were focused.
Hillen Cargill took it one step at a time. Enjoying his indulgent eyes, he accepted the glass of wine handed to him by a passing attendant.
At the same time, the eye quickly scanned people.
‘That man is the Avronik Marquis of Iasin.’
‘Count Gallion of Akan, Count Guros.’
Count Tomhal of Korzen and Marquis of Killian of Horton.
Just mentioning the counts and marquises, there were far more nobles of the barons and viscounts.
Also, even the warriors.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Ferdal Killian.”
The first to approach Hillen was a middle-aged man with a handsome mustache.
A power in the north, a high-ranking noble of Horton.
“This is Hillen Cargill.”
held each other’s hands.
“Your fame has been deafening.”
“Did you have a reputation for that?”
“You are too humble to be humble. You, who killed two demon kings, can be proud of being the greatest among all the warriors in existence.”
Even if your skills are not right now, you will eventually become that way in the future.
“thank you.”
Short conversations followed.
“Oh, how did you save Louise Werft? How did you know in advance the abduction of the Demon King of Lust?”
“It was a coincidence. Don’t you know that I went to the kingdom as an envoy of the Heroes’ Guild?”
“Well, I thought it would. Still, what a wonderful coincidence.”
Ferdal chuckled and laughed.
“Did the demon king of lust have his tail cut off? It’s a pity that I didn’t see the demon lord run away.”
“There was nothing great about it. Except that he was just as ignorant as humans.”
“Heh heh, you’ve lost all the dignity of the Demon King. Oh, look at my mind.”
Ferdal shook his head.
“You’ve been holding on to a celebrity for too long. I will slap others in the face.”
“no.”
“Can I introduce you one last time?”
“I would be happy to introduce you to the Marquis-sama.”
“majesty.”
People’s murmurs were heard. The human wall built around Hillen naturally cracked.
In the meantime, a woman walked out.
Blonde hair that fell to her waist and blue eyes. At the same time, a well-trained body.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person. nice to meet.”
Hillen knew who she was. But it was my first time seeing it in person.
“Oh, it’s the first time I met you, but you were rude.”
“it’s okay. Please feel free to treat me. This is Hillen Cargill.”
“Then you are lucky. This is Jessica Horton.”
A woman who was active as a hero who rose to the position of a star or a knight in the Horton Kingdom.
All heroes belong to the warrior guild. Although many warriors unofficially served their country, they could not officially become part of the kingdom.
However, she was one of the few exceptions recognized by the Heroes’ Guild.
It was Jessica Horton, the royal family of Horton, a warrior, and the leader of the Knights of the White Rose.
“It is an honor to see the great warrior who subjugated the two demon kings.”
“I am honored to have met His Majesty, who is of such great honor.”
Horton is one of the three kingdoms bordering Erzest. Naturally, there was not a day not to be plagued by monsters coming down the mountain range, and the knights there fought every day, every day.
At the forefront was Jessica Horton.
She was a great warrior and knight who had defended the kingdom for decades in a land of extreme cold.
“Didn’t you sign a treaty to receive equipment in the Dwarven Kingdom? He made an amazing ball.”
“It’s overrated. It’s just a matter of paying money to buy it.”
“Anyway. The fact that those sassy dwarves would deliver a certain amount to the guild every month is a huge thing. Thanks to you, the Kingdom is looking forward to it.”
Of course, the equipment delivered to the Hero’s Guild goes back to the Heroes first. And even though she belonged to Horton, she had a rather advanced priority after ascending to the star.
“Ah, this is not the point…”
she looked around Those who tried to contact Hillen Cargill were swayed by Yerika’s power.
“I’m sorry as soon as I came in, but can I have a solo for a while?”
“It would be an honor to be able to play solo with your supreme commander.”
“Your mouth is sweet. Let me go to the terrace.”
Jessica smiled faintly. Hillen followed her out to the terrace. The cool night breeze gently brushed my face.
“I don’t mean to tell you, the first time I met you, did you hear the rumors about the northern snowfields of Jespine?”
“Isn’t the northern snowfield the land of the Barbarians?”
“At the same time, it is also an area of extreme cold.”
The demon lord of the cold is entangled.
Hillen recalled her memories as much as possible. However, maybe it was because adapting to the Hero’s Guild was the top priority, and there was no time to worry about the northern snowfields.
“What happened to the snowfield?”
“Look. If it’s big, it’s big, if it’s small, it’s small. Do you know Gillian Eint?”
“He is the star that leads the white eagle.”
“It looks like he was trying to do something against the demon lord of the frigid cold. However, it did not work out, and the demon king was angry, so monsters and demons destroyed some of the barbarian tribes.”
“···Oh My God.”
Hillen shook her head desperately.
It was a story I had never even heard of Berge. Wasn’t that intentional? Or do you not know Berger?
“You know that Gillian Eind and the white eagle are from northern tribes, right? Thanks to you, the snowfield is now like a battlefield.”
However, if everything could be resolved with anger alone, the Demon King would have died instantly.
Gillian Eint alone was not enough to receive the power of the Demon King.
“He asked me for help.”
The snowfield where Gillian was active and the northern part of Jessica were quite close. The two continued to communicate frequently and helped each other.
“I wanted to help him, but unfortunately, there are a lot of monsters coming down the mountain for some reason. It’s a situation where I can’t get out of my body for a long time.”
“Are you asking me to go to the snowfield and help him instead of your Majesty?”
“It’s not something I would say to someone I’ve seen for the first time, but it’s true. Please.”
She nodded.
“I also got a lot of help from him. It’s time for me to give it back. But things are not going well and I think of you.”
“…it’s a little difficult.”
Hillen now has a lot to do at headquarters. Even so, he went to Werft as soon as he became Argan, and he did not want to be absent for a long time again.
“I understand. I don’t know how absurd I am making such an absurd request right now.”
It wasn’t very outrageous. The work of the warriors was originally to oppose the demon king.
Anyone could ask Hillen to fight the Demon King for the continent.
“I’m just asking you to consider it. Also, I don’t mean to ask for it with my bare mouth. If you accept, I will try my best to compensate you as much as I can. It’s not compulsory though, so if you can’t, I’ll do it. I wouldn’t have any bad feelings at all.”
Hillen nodded slightly.
“I don’t think I can give you an answer right away. Could you give me some time to think about it?”
“However much. I’m just happy to even give you a review. To be honest, I knew you would say no right away.”
“First of all, I want to enjoy a banquet today.”
“Gee, I’ve been holding on to a busy man for too long.”
Jessica tapped him on the shoulder.
“Would you like to go in together?”
“Yes.”
‘I’ll have to contact the Demon King first.’
Jessica Horton is popular among the warriors as well as the general public. Doing her favors and making friends was good, never bad.
‘If possible, I don’t want to miss it.’
For Hillen, fame and connections directly related to fame.
It was most important.
