The Secret of Birth
‘Nothing. How could someone with such extraordinary abilities call Hugh his father out of nowhere? He must be the son of the previous human king.’
From noble mtl dot com
Misunderstandings go in an unexpected direction!
Until now, I tried to read my mind and watch it because it was funny to see him shoveling alone, but now I can’t. It got to the point where I couldn’t solve the misunderstanding. We need to clear up the misunderstanding before it gets further twisted….
‘A strange ability to change into another human being. There is a difference, but isn’t that power similar to Hugh? When vacation returns my heart, surely that time… Hugh became me. Although the appearance did not change like that child. I definitely felt it.’
After reading Tyr’s thoughts, I hesitated at the sudden inspiration.
… Hmm. For a moment.
I read people’s thoughts. But I can’t predict what he will do. This is because human ideas collide and rebel against each other, creating completely unexpected and outlandish possibilities.
That’s why I can’t be a prophet. As an observer, I just watch the possibilities they create.
The possibility Tyr found is worth watching.
Okay. Let’s get it wrong for now.
“Let’s go to sleep. Let’s stop this useless age debate. What if there is less and what if there is more? Shay, who doesn’t even have blood on his head anyway, goes around talking squeaks with no manners, up or down.”
“What, you bastard?”
“Look. To be honest, father is better than being called this child and that child. At least you have respect.”
“Right! ‘I’ is calling you father with respect and reverence!”
The regressor made a tired expression.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, respect and respect…. Well, that’s okay What if the two of you want to play like that? It’s none of my business.”
“If you want to wear it, talk to me anytime, Mr. Shay. It’s okay to have two children.”
“‘I’ will specially call you Shay oppa!”
“Shut up! You guys are playing, don’t force me into it!”
While I was teasing the regressor like that, I heard Tyr’s thoughts.
‘If Shay is a son and Hilde is a daughter… Whoops. There is only one seat left.’
Tir interrupted while clearing his throat and scolded the regressor.
“Shay. Don’t hit the wall too much. We’ve been seeing each other for quite some time, so shouldn’t we get along well?”
“If I’m going to fit in that way, I’ll live without seeing your face!”
“… Did he? Too bad.”
“I don’t regret it at all!”
In the middle of it, the cataphract came to a sudden stop with a rattle. Aji, who was on the roof of the cataphract, barked ‘King!’ In surprise. I couldn’t see the outside from the inside of the cataphract, so I asked the driver’s seat.
“Dizzy?”
There was no answer. The golem behind the steering wheel, no, a structure that roughly imitated the shape of the golem just continued driving without reaction.
I was patient and calmly called the signalman.
“Captain Dizzy, Correspondent.”
As I said and tapped, I finally got a response. A crackling voice echoed through the harsh speakers.
[Jig, Jik… I’m Dizzy, a military communications officer. Ah…. Did you call me….]
“Why did you stop?”
[Checking. Crackle… Currently, this aircraft is at a standstill. Waiting for the bridge to cross the meta conveyor belt….]
“Ah. If that’s the case, that must mean I’m finally out of the inner circle.”
A land that flows like a river, the meta conveyor belt winds around the military and flows. Like a river, it offers tremendous benefits when moving with its flow, but is quite tricky to cross or cross. Especially in the case of a vehicle, if you just try to cross it, it will most likely roll over.
The special-purpose golem driving the Cataphract said in a dying voice.
[That’s right…. Because I arrived 2 minutes earlier than the scheduled arrival time, I had no choice but to stop because I was embarrassed…. Please wait….]
“Okay. Let’s take a look outside.”
As I opened the lid of the Cataphract, I felt something heavy. It’s because Aji is sitting on the lid. I said knocking on the lid.
“Oh! Get out of the way!”
“Doggy?”
The weight has disappeared. I flipped the lid back and poked my head out to look outside.
A flowing meta conveyor belt stretched out in front of the vast land as a background.
The way the land ripples and flows is still spectacular. A large container is floating like a flotsam on the earth-colored tributary. No matter how strong the Cataphract was, it didn’t look like it would survive being hit by a darting container. Well, if you get on top of it, you won’t bump into it unless you hit it.
I was sitting on the wall and staring blankly at the scenery, when a pitch-black parasol popped up along the aisle. When I moved away, Tyr, wearing a parasol, came out and sat beside me, watching the river flow.
“Hmm. Certainly, it looks difficult to cross with this dull wagon. Where, shall I carry it and make it move?”
To move with a cataphract weighing in tons. After all, if there is power beyond common sense, there is no need for tactics or devices.
But in other words, if there is a strategy or device, you don’t need power beyond common sense. I said, pointing out there with my finger.
“I don’t think that’s necessary. The bridge over there is arriving.”
“The bridge has arrived… ? You mean your legs are moving?”
Seeing is not worth a thousand words. I looked at the five containers approaching side by side from the other side of my field of vision and the steel planks on top of them. Tyr was also curious and looked closely at the place I was pointing at.
Before approaching, the container was just a square flotsam. But as we got closer, things changed.
A few golems popped out of nowhere. Shortly thereafter, the structure of the container changed. Clap, clap. The sides of the container split apart and transformed into an arched metal bridge. The tip of the container is freed from the meta conveyor belt and fixed to the stationary ground.
Googoo Palace. Like an iron bird spreading its wings, a bridge was built across the meta conveyor belt in an instant.
The golem standing on the edge of the bridge saluted and said.
[Meta Conveyor Belt, Fidget Captain! Bridge installation has been completed as of the current time!]
[Crackling…. This is Captain Dizzy, a military signalman. Bridge installation confirmed! Hurray! We’re leaving right away! Everyone, please hold tight!]
Kurrureung. The Cataphract started moving again. A huge body weighing more than tens of tons moves swiftly over the bridge. The bridging supported the cataphracts with unbelievable durability.
[Mission accomplished! Dizzy, leave the work behind!]
[OK! Goaaa!]
Kurrureung. The Cataphract ran close to top speed even on the bridge. Cataphracts ran wildly, leaving the land flowing below. The iron plate rattles.
Tyr showed a lot of curiosity towards the bridge that had been created in an instant.
“Whoops. Sophisticated. When I said bridge, I thought of a bridge, but I never thought I would make a bridge this way. Is that what those puppets did?”
“Right!”
Hilde, who came up before I knew it, sat down to my left and grumbled.
“Are you saying it’s a really great perk? How many communications soldiers supported one person this much? It’s a luxury that even ‘I’ have never received! If I had known this was going to happen, ‘I’ would have recruited a communications soldier!”
“Then why bother to build bridges? Wouldn’t it be convenient if you put a strong bridge in advance?”
“Whoops, guess!”
“Whoa.”
Tyr was quite interested in this question and answer. As she sat up, she responded to Hilde’s quiz.
“If you put your legs in advance, you must have trouble. Didn’t you build a bridge to prevent someone from crossing at will?”
“That’s half the answer. Even though the meta conveyor belt flows like a river, the land is the land. If a person decides to cross, he won’t be able to cross!”
“Hmm. I guess so. Oh, I’m afraid something big will pass below and hit the bridge?”
“That is only half the answer. However, since most of the containers are standardized, there is no chance of colliding with the bridge. Containers are still passing under the bridge, right?”
“You are very strict. If half the correct answer is twice, then when combined, doesn’t it make the perfect answer?”
“This is a quiz. If you don’t give the most important reason, other than side gains, I won’t accept it as the correct answer!”
“Ugh….”
Tyr’s groan grew longer. Seeing that nothing similar to the correct answer comes to mind, it seems difficult to guess in a short time.
And unlike ordinary people, Tyr is a human being who can easily deal with a problem for about ten days. He may not sleep and try to figure out the answer to the problem.
If that ever happens, I’ll have to read Tyr’s thoughts all day mind-reading. Even for my mental health, that was difficult.
“Can I give you a hint?”
Tyr gladly replied to my suggestion.
“Yes. I will gladly accept your favor. Not because I couldn’t match, but because I can’t refuse your favor.”
“The meta conveyor belt is a land that flows like a river. However, everyone is confused by the word land, but the meta conveyor belt actually plays the role of the river. Move, transport….”
“Yes. I see it too. However, aren’t you asking why you don’t have legs right now?”
“Tir. Just imagine. If the meta conveyor belt is a river, doesn’t it flow around the military country in one big turn? What do you look like?”
The worry was short-lived. Because Tyr knew the answer well.
“… A moat?”
Tyr said with some reluctance.
“Correct answer. What are moats for?”
“To prevent us from approaching the castle.”
We must mean vampires. I fully understood why it was called us.
Running water is considered one of the vampire’s chronic weaknesses. Although he is a vampire who can be fine even if he is cut by a gun or a knife, the distinction between outside and inside is so thin that he sometimes mistakes the water of the river for his own bloodstream. It is said that it gives a terrible feeling as if the body melts away, and among vampires whose control over blood has weakened, it does not end there.
So vampires instinctively avoid flowing water.
“Of course, it’s not just for vampires. Moats cause trouble even for ordinary people.”
“In other words, to prevent the enemy from entering this room?”
“Yes. Of course, the enemy can build a bridge, but in that case, like Tyr said, you can pour over a big container and knock it down!”
“That’s why you said it was only half correct!”
Tyr honestly admired it. Tyr was very satisfied with the quiz that relieved her boredom, but Hilde, who gave the quiz, was dissatisfied.
“Eh, that’s too much! It was ‘me’ who gave the quiz, but what if my father tells me everything! Cowardly!”
“So the one who pretends to know first is the winner. You should have stopped having fun and let go slowly.”
“This is a life lesson…. I will learn one thing.”
While Hilde muttered curtly, Tyr suddenly remembered something and asked.
“The moat was built to keep out us vampires.”
“I don’t think so. Isn’t that a bit of a sense of loss?”
“Anyway, a moat is only useful if there are enemies. Then what is the ‘enemy’ of the military? Need a flowing land, and an enemy to be vigilant enough to prevent you from building bridges?”
Ah, that. Needless to say
Tyr has been asleep for a long time, so he might not know, but…. If there is a war, it has to happen here.
“That’s right….”
It was the moment I was about to speak.
[Emergency! Check the communication that came in a while ago! Radio operator Captain Dizzy warns all the Cataphract’s occupants!]
The golem’s urgent voice came from inside the cataphract.
[Check a group of enemies! Prepare for the raid!]
“Sheesh. No time to explain. No fun.”
In the background of my murmurs, I heard the urgent voice of the signalman.
[The task force of the nations, the seungnyang!]
The worst enemy of the nation is bad planning.
