Chapter 102

“Unlike me, you’re two days late.”

I came in because I was told to come in, but the air that touches my cheek is very cold.

I learned from talking with Euril, but when I came, he said that the temperature had been raised to its maximum. Controlling it in its own way meant that it was that cold.

It was because of this that he slept longer than before. I’m tired because I visit often.

I guess that’s not going well today.

“I didn’t say it would take just 15 days… … . Euryll?”

But thanks to the artifact I brought with me, it’s okay because only my face is cold. I lifted my scarf up a little, only showing my eyes.

“It’s very late.”

“To a lot… … ? no.”

Without hesitation, I entered the bedroom, still in my nightgown.

“I am cold. He stops bothering me and puts on clothes.”

Why are you trying to strangle the doll again?

The puppy doll’s head, which was smiling widely, was distorted and turned into a sad face.

I picked up the clothes hanging on the hanger and brought them to her, but Euril kept her head down and didn’t even try to move.

“Are you sick?”

There’s no way Euril is going to be petty.

Even if he dies soon, he will never get sick like a cold… … .

“Oh, what letter is it?”

Aha.

A letter was placed by the bedside.

There is only one letter to come to Euril. Since Mash’s situation has stabilized, it is okay to return to the palace during winter vacation.

“Can I read it?”

Euril nodded.

This is supposed to arrive in about a week, but it’s probably because I volunteered troops for Mashu quite leisurely.

One difference from the original.

In addition to the coastline, part of the imperial army was stationed as it was to clean up the inland monsters.

As an extension of the variable that prevented Riden from being destroyed, it was because Rongurt had to continue to influence Mash so that Riden could not recklessly cross Mash.

‘This is a bit strange.’

It’s exactly what I expected, so I didn’t think I would have to read it for a long time.

It was an interesting part that the stationed Imperial Army was saving the people’s livelihood of Mashu. It’s not like the empire pays generously to its soldiers.

“Good for you. It’s vacation, he’s sleeping, and Euril isn’t taking classes. Knowing that might be a bit disappointing.”

“… … It was all real.”

“What?”

“What you told me.”

Are you real?

“Eh, so you thought it was all a lie? no wonder!”

I was bored when I said that I trained students in preparation for air raids, exploded mana cores in neutral zones beyond barriers, froze and defeated 25m high-end monsters, and made lasers to drive away monsters flying in the sky.

didn’t you believe that? This is only one episode long.

“How can you believe that!”

“Why don’t you believe me?”

“What am I… … . I thought it was a story straight out of a children’s book.”

Well, even if it were me, I wouldn’t believe it.

Students wandering around making a lot of noise on a campus that has shed its leaves ahead of winter. That classes are running normally.

I still don’t believe it very much.

“So I thought I was just saying something fun.”

“It’s true that I said it was fun, but I didn’t exaggerate.”

“That I almost died.”

“Without exaggeration, I really almost died.”

“… … nice.”

If I told you what happened during the 15 days, would you react differently this time? That pot was smashed!

… … I’ll have to say it a little more succinctly.

“Then why aren’t you wearing clothes?”

“I can’t move.”

“why?”

“My eyes hurt.”

“Oops.”

That was the reason I kept my head down. A piece of ice tumbled down.

After five minutes or so, Euril barely raised her head.

“It must be cold.”

“Oh. There were a lot of things I got this time.”

I took a small bottle out of my pocket. It was a thumb-sized vial that usually contained expensive potions.

‘Hey, can’t you just give me one more as a service?’

‘yes? okay! What do you need?’

‘… … I have a friend who has a situation like this. Because she’s a fire fairy, heck!’

‘This will do.’

I was surprised.

Rama scratched his palm with his fingernails on the spot and bottled the leaking blood. It was not an idle word to say that he liked humans.

[ITEM]

[Blood spilled by the flames]

: The first fire, Rama’s blood.

never cool down

“It is one of them.”

The fairy’s blood was clear sky blue.

The bottle was also made of a unique material, so it was very light and hard.

“I would freeze soon… … .”

“Isn’t it?”

Auril accepted the bottle that continuously radiated heat.

Even after 10 seconds.

Even after 1 minute.

still warm

“… … uh?”

“Even if I take off my gloves and touch it, it won’t freeze.”

No way.

Euril took off her gloves with trembling hands. The bottle did not freeze even when touched with bare hands. It was still warm.

“Wouldn’t it be helpful if you wore it like a necklace?”

But as I watched, it wasn’t a little bit.

Even now, when Euril takes off her gloves, she barely feels the chill. It seems that the limit of the temperature that can be controlled has risen tremendously.

I feel like I’m sweating from the nape of my neck. The air I inhale is no longer cold.

“what’s this? What’s inside?”

“Blood.”

“blood… … ? It’s light blue.”

Suddenly, I had a good idea.

Anyway, I have to follow Euril when he goes to Mash. Of course, I thought I had to move separately, but the llama’s blood was much more effective than I thought.

“Oh, this is important, so it’s no fun to say in advance.”

“what. let me know.”

“I won’t tell you now. later.”

“When later. Shall I lie down?”

I shook my head.

I haven’t told Euril about the full moon yet.

He seemed to think that if he lay down like he always did, he would tell me a story. Because it’s such a fun story.

“Euril, you’re not taking classes anyway.”

“yes.”

“I’m not listening either.”

“yes.”

Holding the medicine bottle tightly in her hand, hugging the doll I gave her. Euril answered eagerly.

“It happened again.”

“In addition… … ?”

It’s easy to understand when you see that the ends of the eyebrows go down. Before I get even more disappointed, I got to the point.

“The place I have to go is Mashu.”

“uh… … ?”

“Looking at the letter, it looks like you are asking me to come back for a while during vacation. Right?”

Euril nodded slowly.

I asked with a smile.

“Do you want to go with me? A little early.”

* * *

December.

There was a chilly air outside, so the engineering department brought in a radiator that Nael had devised 10 years ago.

“Haha! I am here!”

“Please close the door.”

“This bastard, if an adult came, shouldn’t he bow his head nicely!”

Derek, who hadn’t come in a long time, opened the door openly. I removed the blanket covering my knees and stood up.

You can tell just by looking at his face.

“Are you successful?”

“I searched private houses near the abandoned mine. It’s a shame because the old lady who is older than me is still alive.”

chin!

The name hanging on the folder that is put on the desk.

[Research record of tungsten mining and separation technology]

“You have worked hard.”

“cancer. Zhongseok has now been mined, and has come with a box. Is the assistant in the studio?”

“I heard that you finished the mold last night. Let’s go together.”

“All you have to do is melt and pour it!”

Derek took a step confidently. The fact that mining had begun meant that negotiations with Leeden had ended.

In other words, the court wizard Derek handed over to Riden the unique magic system he had created after a lifetime of research.

“Do you have any regrets?”

“No, just thinking about it. It’s useless anyway. But would there have been a disciple who would quietly learn magic from me under me?”

“That! It can’t be.”

“This guy.”

Right.

It’s been a while since I’ve been hit on the head with a cane. It felt good though.

“Unlike Kanin, I’ve been stuck in a closet, so I don’t have any achievements or anything.”

Compared to Kanin, who is praised as a war hero, court mages with higher achievements in magic are not famous.

Rather, the more I get to that point, the more I almost refrain from activities. Because we are bound by various treaties and our range of maneuver is limited.

“okay. All I had to do was leave it behind.”

Leaving one’s footprints in the history of wizards.

It was the greatest honor for a wizard.

“Naiel, Maisie Derek is here.”

“You are probably the only woman who wrestles with stones and metal all day long.”

“Welcome, Meiji. All preparations are complete.”

“I brought the middle stone. Can I melt it?”

“If you don’t like waiting time.”

Neil pointed to the red-hot palanquin and said. It takes a lot of firepower to melt the middle stone, but it also takes a long time.

“I have only a few days left to live! No time to waste waiting. “Rama Le Lipe… … 」”

Casting is simple as long as there is magic.

After pouring the tungsten he brought into the kiln, Derek immediately cast his magic.

Neil and I, who were watching from behind, burst into laughter at the same time. It seemed pretty urgent.

“Can you cool it down?”

“sure.”

As searing heat erupted from the finished casting, I was able to quickly cool it down with the wind.

Insert the outer material of the outer cylinder with the inner reflector made in advance.

It was the completion of the entry-level laser.

“It’s smaller than I thought.”

“Portability has also become easier. The power and range are the same as I said before.”

“How, where can I shoot this? The playground is too small!”

“I made a road.”

“Let’s go quickly!”

For his age, Derek was very excited.

Still, it weighed about 60kg, so I still couldn’t lift it with my own strength, so I left it loaded on the cart.

“But don’t you need another fire magician?”

“Can’t a double-attribute mage use fusion magic alone? If this is above a certain level, you can use it alone.”

“Shooting alone!”

Derek let out another laugh. In the open road made by clearing the forest behind the playground (of course, permission was granted), the members used to practice magic.

It is drilled up to 600m long, so you can shoot a laser.

“We also prepared targets. I just put a rock on it.”

Fred suffered.

It was also a job to set up a wide rock so that it could be seen clearly.

“The distance?”

“They are 300m and 450m respectively. The maximum effective range is expected to be 475m.”

“It’s long. very long!”

Derek isn’t the only one excited.

I am also looking forward to it. This laser can be mass-produced right away if only tungsten is secured.

I don’t know until 450m, but if I succeed even at 300m, the composition of the frontline will be completely different.

“Ready to cast.”

I did what Coltman did on the barrier.

Weiying… … .

It’s a pleasant noise.

The amount of mana consumed was only at the level of 2 stars, so the mana did not suffer at all. Eventually, 10 seconds later.

Piyung!

Unlike fancy magic, if you watch it from the side, the laser light flashes for a very short time.

It seems to draw a line, but only an afterimage remains in the field of vision, and it is close to hitting the target the moment it is launched.

therefore. the sound is buried

Quaang! Quaang!

“… … .”

Derek swallowed.

The rock at 300m was almost pulverized, and the rock at 450m was also smashed and scattered at the same time.

Even if that was a monster, the result would be the same. The monsters should have been wiped out in a straight line.

However, one important issue remains.

“… … What about gun barrels?”

Derek hurriedly ran in and stood in front of the gun barrel, which was slightly heated.

It’s an action that a normal person should never do, but it’s not dangerous at all if you don’t use magic. You have to wait 10 seconds for it to activate.

“I am fine.”

did not melt

The gun barrel made of heavy stone was intact as expected. Just put in the magic, and the laser will fire again.

“The fact that dozens of times is the limit is also an assumption that it repeats itself. As long as you give it time to cool down in the middle, it’s correct to say that it’s actually semi-permanent.”

“Heh heh, heh heh heh!”

Derek’s laugh didn’t stop.

“This moment was the most valuable moment in my entire life.”

“I don’t know if that’s a good thing to say.”

“Shut up and have a laugh! Heh heh heh!”

“Wahhahaha!”

At first, I laughed because I was forced to smile, but later it became a natural smile.

December 1317.

laser was developed.
