Episode 1295. Take treasure from my dwelling place
Elio, who had been listening for a while about the mysterious assembly process of the steel golem, suddenly asked.
“By the way, how many steel golems have been excavated so far?”
Because it was a secret among secrets, Viscount Norton Sherwood paused for a moment.
However, when he remembered that his opponent was an ally from the North, he did not hide it.
“I don’t know about other mines, but we excavated seven at the Ferdom mine.”
“Has excavation occurred in other mines?”
“It was discovered in mines in Shade, Masdar and Bostania. In the case of Bostania, we purchased mine management rights from the mercenary guild.”
“I guess a steel golem was discovered in the mercenary guild’s mine?”
“That’s right. “It was a mercenary guild headquartered in Bostania, so the transaction was able to take place quickly.”
“Did the mercenary guild willingly sell the mine?”
“Anyway, private trade in steel golems is prohibited, so it would be better to hand over the mine to the kingdom. “I understand that the transaction was carried out without any noise because the Kingdom of Bostania paid a large amount of money.”
“So, have steel golems emerged from the three mines so far?”
“That’s right.”
“Is there a possibility that it may come from other mines?”
“That might be difficult.”
“Why?”
“Steel golems also have veins of steel parts, just like crystal veins. So far, there are only three mines on the mountainside where the veins are located. “I understand that the higher you go to the top, the less likely it is.”
“Then it doesn’t matter if the empire jumps into mining development, right?”
The question was why there was a conflict with the empire through the ‘permission system’ and ‘report system’, which then led to war.
“No one is fully aware of the veins of steel parts. Since we cannot completely rule out the possibility of being discovered in a mine at the top of a mountain… … . “The goal is to block it at the source.”
“It looks like you have discovered enough to be confident of winning the war against the Empire?”
“Of the three mines, the Ferdom mine is the smallest. The Bostania mine is medium-sized, and the Masdar mine is large.”
“If seven were excavated from the smallest Ferdom mine, there must be more than that in other mines, right?”
“We don’t know, but heat was probably unearthed in the Bostania mine. “The Masdar mine will be more than that.”
At that moment, an exclamation flowed from Fabian’s mouth.
“Wow! “There are so many.”
That was enough for the southern kingdom to wage war without the help of the northern kingdom.
Luna Mylus, who was listening, opened her mouth with a meaningful look on her face.
“There are probably more steel golems in the Ferdom mine than the Viscount said. Even now, steel parts are still being discovered. “Am I wrong?”
Viscount Norton Sherwood smiled awkwardly in response to her keen point.
“Haha, of course there may be a difference of one or two degrees. As the saint said, steel parts are continuously being unearthed.”
After speaking, Viscount Norton Sherwood looked at Count Elio Lagoa.
Now that I’ve finally seen the bottom, I wish I could just go above ground.
He wasn’t the only one who wanted to get out of the mine shaft.
Fabian said with a pale face.
“Count Lagoa, I think we’ve seen everything now, so why don’t you leave?”
“What’s wrong with your face?”
“It’s because I’m tired.”
“What did the person looking at the Sword Expert do to get tired?”
“Isn’t the air in the Abyss a bit heavy? “It seems like it’s heavier underneath the ground.”
Then Elio turned his attention to Luna Mylus.
“Saint Sister. Is that correct? “Is the air under the ground heavier?”
“You feel that way psychologically.”
“Did you hear? “It’s a damn thing that’s heavier.”
“Whether it’s psychological or not, if I don’t have anything else to do here, I have to leave. Are you going to live here?”
Fabian, who was in tears, raised his voice.
At that moment, Viscount Norton Sherwood looked at Baron Cloud in surprise.
It’s one thing to be a sword expert at such a young age, but to yell at the Count and Grand Master?
‘He’s not a man who can easily be considered a baron.’
Viscount Norton Sherwood looked at Baron Cloud with new eyes.
When Fabian complained, Elio said with a prickly look on his face.
“Who said you would live? I have to go out. Viscount Norton.”
“yes?”
“Finally, let’s go see the factory where the steel parts are assembled. Take the lead.”
“That place is truly an area where entry is prohibited by royal order.”
“Did you say it was real? “So you lied earlier?”
“Oh, no. By royal order, entry into the mine was also prohibited.”
“Then that’s enough. “What’s the problem?”
In response to Elio’s question, Viscount Norton Sherwood blinked with a bewildered look on his face.
“What do you mean?”
“Entry inside the mine was also prohibited by royal order, but we are looking around. “Let’s quietly look around the factory like we do now.”
“Oh, that’s… … .”
Showing steel parts in a mine and showing a steel golem were completely different issues.
That was a difficult request to grant, no matter how much the other person was the Grand Master of the North.
But who is Elio?
To him who did not normally worry about the future, the king’s name was like a request from the man next door.
“Viscount Norton, if I say I want to see it, are you sure you can stop it? If you are confident, you can say no. However, I am not responsible for any resulting damage.”
There is no threat like this.
Viscount Norton Sherwood, cornered, bit his lip without realizing it.
I felt hot and the taste of blood filled my mouth.
The worries didn’t last long.
Above all, the musketeers at Ferdom Mine cannot stop the Grand Master.
It wasn’t even something to worry about in the first place.
“Let me show you. Instead of… … “Promise me one thing.”
“What is it?”
“Please do not reveal to the outside world what you saw at the Ferdom mine factory.”
“That might be a bit difficult, as long as you don’t say it’s the Ferdom mine, right?”
“yes. If word gets out that Count Lagoa saw a steel golem in the Ferdom mine… … I will be severely punished. So, I would appreciate it if you could consider my position.”
“all right. Well, it’s difficult. “I will leave out the word Ferdom mine.”
“thank you. “Then, I will guide you right away.”
Viscount Norton Sherwood took the lead with a light look on his face.
Following the flash light, Elio and his group walked diligently through the narrow tunnel.
About thirty minutes later, Viscount Norton Sherwood, who came out of the mine shaft, led Elio and his group to a building on the outskirts of the village.
When I first looked around the village, it was a building that was said to be a materials warehouse.
Viscount Norton Sherwood sighed briefly in front of the assembly plant.
It is heartbreaking to go against the king’s orders and reveal the southern kingdom’s best secret.
Elio just looked around, pretending not to notice.
After sighing several times, Viscount Norton Sherwood reluctantly unlocked the lock.
Finally, he opened the door to the assembly plant and went inside.
Elio and the others followed behind him.
Viscount Norton Sherwood hurriedly closed the factory door as Elio and his group entered, fearing that no one would see them.
The interior was simple enough to be considered a warehouse.
This is because it is not a factory that manufactures anything, but a place that simply collects and assembles excavated steel parts.
A completed steel golem stood majestically on one wall, and its torso, arms, and legs were scattered around it.
Elio pointed his finger at the steel golem.
“Is that a completed steel golem?”
“That’s right. “I’m waiting for you to come get it from the Shade Kingdom.”
“So that makes eight?”
When Elio asked as if to confirm, Viscount Norton Sherwood answered with a puzzled look on his face.
“yes. “It is not included in the numbers because it has not yet been officially registered in its home country.”
“How long does it take to complete one of those?”
“It doesn’t have a public presence. Some are completed as quickly as one month, but if they are delayed, there is no guarantee. “Some of the unfinished steel parts here have a history related to mining development.”
“her! “Why is that like that?”
“It is possible that the correct parts have not yet been discovered, or that they were spare parts from the beginning.”
“aha. But do you know who made that steel golem?”
“According to ancient mythology, the Titans created it in their own image.”
“What do they look like?”
Elio looked up at the completed steel golem with bewildered eyes.
The steel golem was over ten meters tall.
“It is recorded that the Titans were an ancient race of giants who were faithful servants of Manaptras. Of course, now it only remains in ancient history.”
“A steel golem made by Master Mana Prass’s servant is buried in Mount Petra? So what is Ushas Undra (Golden Thread)? Why do people call what they found in the Abyss ‘Ushas Undra’s Treasure’?”
“That’s because Ushas Undra taught me the location of the open pit mine in Tombstone.”
“That open pit mine with the entrance to the Abyss?”
“That’s right. According to historical records, in the past, he appeared in a dream to a religious mercenary and told him to ‘take the treasure from my abode.’ “That is an open pit mine.”
“Were you a mercenary who trusted Ushas Undra?”
“yes. In the southern kingdom, there are as many believers in Ushas Undra as in Shastra Parakti.”
As he spoke, Viscount Norton Sherwood glanced at the saintess.
This is because Shastra Parakti is a higher deity, while Ushas Undra is a lower deity.
Elio, who was thinking about something, inadvertently looked back at Howard and Crea.
Despite attending the Imperial Academy and the Southern Kingdom Academy respectively, they did not know as much about the Abyss as Viscount Norton.
He was as ignorant as himself about the relationship between Ushas Undra and the Abyss.
The Northern Academy that Fabian attended prioritizes Ice Wall and Tameon, so even so, I think those two are a bit too much.
With stinging eyes, Baron Howard Solon and Crea spoke as if making excuses.
“The Imperial Academy teaches broadly but lacks depth.”
“When I was attending the Adriatic Royal Academy, a person who specialized in researching the Abyss passed away. “He learned only the outlines.”
Elio, who was listening with a sullen expression, asked Luna Mylus.
“Why is the Titan’s steel golem buried in the Abyss? And why did Ushas Undra teach people the passage to the Abyss?”
Then Luna Mylus answered in a calm tone.
“The answer to the first question probably lies in forgotten ancient history. And the answer to the second question is… … . “Perhaps Ushas Undra, of course, was once an errand boy for Manapthras.”
“Yes?”
Elio looked at her in surprise.
This is because I have never once thought that Ushas Undra was related to Mana Traths.
“You would know. The relationship between gods is similar to that of humans. Thousands of years have passed since the Abyss was discovered, so relationships must have changed in that time. However, it seems that at first, Ushas Undra also helped the main deity, Manaptras, in his work.”
