Episode 1294. Those parts are steel golems.
Fabian, who was crouching in a dark, dark tunnel, said to Elio.
“Isn’t it a shame if it’s like this everywhere else? “Why don’t you leave now?”
Then Elio looked back at Luna Mylus.
“Sister, what should I do?”
Before Luna Mylus opened his mouth, Paladin Almet Harev spoke first.
“Please be careful about your title in front of outsiders.”
Elio readily accepted his point.
“Sister, what should we do?”
Almet Harev frowned but said no more.
This is because I did not want to draw the attention of Viscount Norton Sherwood with the title issue.
“I need to see more. “You can’t know the whole thing by looking at just one.”
Fabian closed his eyes tightly at the saint’s answer.
My heart was already racing at the thought of walking through a tunnel that seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
“Fabian, open your eyes. “I break my head while washing it.”
“ha! yes… … .”
Fabian sighed deeply, feeling grounded.
I sailed through the terrifying sea of demon and went to the legendary Sky Castle without hesitation, but I don’t know why I’m so scared of the mine shaft.
When the saint said she would look into another mine, Viscount Norton Sherwood took the lead again.
‘Damn, a woman’s liver is too big.’
Viscount Norton Sherwood wondered what was in the saint’s head.
After wandering around for a while, he stopped in a tunnel that had no support.
“This is a tunnel that is currently being developed. “They are digging in the direction where the crystal vein extends.”
Elio and the others saw the end of the tunnel.
As the Viscount said, the miners were repeatedly cutting down the earthen wall with pickaxes.
The person in front would scrape up the dirt and send it to the back, and the person behind would put it in a bag and pile it on one side.
Then the person behind him took it and disappeared somewhere.
Viscount Norton Sherwood said as Elio glanced at the man carrying the sack.
“We are taking them out of the mine shaft. “The speed is slow because we have to carry the soil in bags.”
“Shouldn’t we build supports in the mine shaft?”
“Of course we have to build it. Once the work progresses to a certain extent, it will be taken care of. “Because their lives depend on it, they do well even if you don’t ask them to do that.”
At that time, if you touch the crystal vein with a pickaxe, you’ll hear ‘Kang!’ Kang!’ There was a sharp sound.
When Elio’s eyes turned towards him, Viscount Norton Sherwood kept his mouth shut.
Soon, crystals and mana stones fell down.
The miner sorted the piles of fallen crystals and pushed them to one side.
Another miner filled an empty sack with crystals and disappeared into the darkness.
“The work of sorting mana stones from crystals is done outside the mine shaft. There is also a separate mana stone appraiser. how? Would you like to explore some more places?”
Elio then turned his attention to Luna Mylus.
Since he couldn’t see it himself, he left it to her.
Luna Mylus said in a calm tone.
“I’ve been looking upwards, so this time I want to look downwards as well. Oh, should I say northwest and southeast? To put it simply, I’m asking you to show me the other side.”
At that moment, Viscount Norton Sherwood looked at the saint with surprised eyes.
I don’t know how a saint who first entered a tunnel called an ant cave knows that.
This is a terrain that he himself only learned through a dozen visits with royal inspectors.
Also, northwest and southeast?
How can you distinguish between North, South, East and West in the Abyss?
However, looking at the saintess’s calm face, it was somehow difficult to refute it.
“Oh, that’s… … The tunnel was like an ant tunnel, so I ate it and went wherever my feet took me… … .”
Viscount Norton Sherwood reflexively made an excuse and took the lead again.
Now I had no choice but to trust my cousin, Vicious Sherwood, who had been sent earlier.
He wandered through the tangled tunnels using a flash (a magic tool that emits light).
Elio and his party silently followed behind the Viscount.
Not everyone is like that.
Fabian, who fell behind the most, sighed every time he took a breath.
“ha! Are we there yet?”
“Oh my! It’s your head! Let’s dig the tunnel properly… … .”
“Viscount Sherwood! How much more do I have to go?”
“My chest is so tight I can’t breathe. “Is this okay?”
Paladin Almet Harev, who I had not heard of, said something sharp.
“Just do it little by little. “Can’t the Baron endure this much after becoming a knight?”
“Well said. Am I a knight and not a miner? “What an engineer does and what a miner does are completely different.”
“Ugh! “If you can’t even talk.”
Almet Harev shook his head.
But I didn’t say anything more because what the Baron said wasn’t entirely wrong.
To be honest, I felt very uneasy about walking through narrow tunnels.
This is because if even the slightest accident occurs nearby, you could be buried alive.
Just as his anxiety reached its peak, Viscount Norton Sherwood stopped in front of a tunnel that split into two.
He was hesitating about where to go when he turned left.
“for a moment.”
Elio called Viscount Norton Sherwood over.
The Viscount looked at Count Elio Lagoa with a puzzled look.
“Viscount Norton. I am. It’s a shame to say this, but I hate dark and narrow places. You’ve put up with a lot if you’ve done this. “Isn’t that right?”
“W-what do you mean?”
“Sister, is Viscount Norton heading southeast?”
“No, I’m heading southwest.”
“You’re going down to the other side too?”
“That’s the way it is.”
“That won’t work. I’m really a person you can trust to a large extent… … .”
Viscount Norton Sherwood, who was listening to the conversation between the two, said with a puzzled face.
“W-you mean the other side? That’s a misunderstanding. The tunnels are entangled like a spider web… … .”
“That’s it. “Let’s go quickly because Fabian is having a hard time.”
“Oh, yes. I’ll try to hurry up a bit… … .”
Before he could finish his sentence, Elio used an idiom.
“I command you, son of the empty field (Gongyaja) and disciple of the ageless green (Cheongbulno), in the name of the southern sky pond (Yeonnamcheon), to answer the question honestly. “Was a steel golem, a relic from the Dark Age, unearthed in the Ferdom Mine?”
“What do you mean… … Yes, it was unearthed. Oh my! What am I talking about? “Why are our mouths acting differently?”
Viscount Norton Sherwood struck me in the mouth with the palm of his hand.
Either way, Elio continued talking.
“Is there a mine shaft to the southeast where the steel golem was discovered?”
“Yes, it came from a tunnel in the southeast. omg! “Are you casting a mind-manipulating spell on me?”
Fear appeared on the face of Viscount Norton Sherwood, who belatedly recognized the situation.
Since he was the victim of a mind-manipulating spell, he is concerned about the aftereffects.
“It’s not that surprising. Because it’s different from mind manipulation magic. So, of course, there are no aftereffects. Rather, please stop circling and lead me to where you unearthed the steel golem. “Don’t you think Viscount Norton would want to kick me out?”
“ha! Are there really no aftereffects?”
“I swear on my knightly honor. “There are no aftereffects.”
“I’m sorry, but since you are a magic swordsman, please swear with your mana.”
You can lie as much as you like because you have the honor of a knight, but Mana’s oath is different.
If you make an empty oath over mana, the blessing of mana will disappear.
So wizards could not lie with the Mana Oath.
Even though Elio is a reiki practitioner, he made an oath, but the other person insisted on doing it.
“I can swear by Mana that there will be no aftereffects. Now, can you please show me where the steel golem was excavated?”
“Let me tell you one more thing. You must not tell anyone that you saw the excavation site here. “Can you do that?”
“Even if I try to talk about it, there’s no one to talk to. “My personal relationships aren’t that wide.”
Then Fabian suddenly intervened.
“It’s true. “Count Lagoa’s interpersonal relationships are not smooth.”
Elio, furious at Fabian’s words, refuted.
“hey! Are you saying it’s not smooth? It’s because I don’t have to meet people while protecting the ice wall in the north. “Does that make me a very strange person?”
“Didn’t you beat up half the people you met along the way? “I’m saying that’s not amicable.”
“That’s because the other person does something bad. “I’m a person who stays still like a tree unless someone else touches it first.”
“Yes, a tree with deadly thorns. “Killing or injuring anyone who touches it.”
“It’s not the tree’s fault. “It’s the fault of those who touched it.”
Elio also had a conscience, so he did not completely deny it.
Viscount Norton Sherwood, who was listening, spoke as if to confirm.
“Then I’ll just trust the Count’s promise and go.”
“Viscount Norton, don’t just talk, let’s go. “Let’s go and see it quickly.”
Elio shook his head as if he was bored.
Viscount Norton Sherwood then returned and entered the shaft on the right.
After wandering around for a while, the narrow tunnel suddenly became wider.
That’s not all.
Flashlights were installed on the walls of the tunnel at regular intervals.
Finally, Viscount Norton Sherwood stopped.
Unlike the tunnel where only one person passed in and out, a huge cavity about ten meters wide appeared.
Dozens of miners were clinging to the cave wall, working hard with pickaxes.
Every time that happened, a chunk of steel, not crystal, fell to the bottom of the rainwater.
Viscount Norton Sherwood said with a proud face.
“This is the tunnel where relics from the Demonic Era were excavated. As you can see, there are not crystal veins, but steel parts buried there.”
“Steel parts?”
“That’s right. The steel golem didn’t come out as a prototype. “Those parts are steel golems.”
“Did magic engineers assemble that?”
“no. There is probably no magic engineer in the world like that. The parts come together on their own to form a shape. Like that.”
Viscount Norton Sherwood’s finger pointed to one side of the cavity.
The chunks of steel pulled together and formed a certain shape.
In addition to the golem’s fingers, there were also what looked like arm or leg joints.
Elio’s mouth opened wide.
People move and create shapes on their own without assembling them!
It was like seeing magic.
The assembled parts were loaded into steel boxes – placed on two tracks – and sent somewhere.
“Does that mean it will become a steel golem?”
“Here, pieces of steel are pulled together to make something, but when you get to the assembly plant, you have to have a little bit of human help. “If you don’t set a certain position, they won’t respond to each other.”
Then Luna Mylus spoke.
“That’s probably because of the weight of the assembled parts. “If the weight is greater than the force pulling each other, there will be limits to movement.”
“you’re right. If you put the parts that seem to fit together based on their appearance close together, they will stick together with a click. “Even if you push at different parts, they won’t stick together.”
Is it because we ended up sharing a secret?
Viscount Norton Sherwood talked about the manufacturing process of the steel golem without being asked.
