Chapter 561
"In the end, the weapons for Yoshino have become like that."
He spoke to me while looking at Yoshino, who had the Yaemi's finished artifact.
In the courtyard of the castle, Yoshino had a bow in his hand.
Of course, it's not just a bow. An ordinary bow has one string, but there are many strings in that bow. It's a bow, it's a harp, it's a harp bow.
When Yoshino draws one of the many strings, and takes the position of holding the arrow, an arrow of light forms between the bow and the string.
The arrow of light disappeared into the sky in an instant as it was released towards the sky.
It was an arrow of divine power. Eat of it, and you will not be safe as an evil messenger. However, it seems that Yoshino has never used a bow and arrow, so I'm a little worried about his accuracy... I could ask Kana-san to teach me.
When Yoshino played one of the strings with his fingers, the clear tone of the pin... echoed.
Using the harp tone, Yoshino begins to play the song.
Huh? This song...
During this time, the opening song of the game was directed by Yoshino in a concert. It is another RPG prelude that is said to be perfect with the RPG.
What? Did I just let Yoshino listen to games in the future?
Like the title of the game, which means "The Last Fantasy", a flowing and beautiful fantastic melody is emanating from the courtyard.
You see it more as an instrument than as an artifact. That's it.
"Well, it's not a problem because it has a considerable effect as an instrument, but..."
Having leaked a slightly dazzling word, I replied in that way, cutting the tip of my finger with my knife.
The wound was quickly blocked after leaving red furry blood. This is a healing effect.
This healing effect will not be due to the characteristics of the artifact, but to the magic of Yoshino's performance.
I saw that it was boosted by the power of the artifact. Unexpected side effects, but this is appreciated.
"Yoshino, onee-chan is just cheating!" Me too! "
Perhaps Yoshino was numb to the harp, and Rinne rushed through.
”Even though I was playing it nicely”
Yoshino releases his hand from the harp bow as he complains about the bumps.
Then, the artifact in the shape of a bow instantly turned into a sphere about the size of a baseball.
A metallic sphere of platinum-colored light. That is the main body of the artifact I made. [M]
Yoshino gently throws the ball towards Linne. The sphere that flew toward Linne began to slowly circle around Linne like a satellite.
This state is the defensive mode of the artifact. Destroy arrows, bullets, and all kinds of props to protect the owner.
It was a diversion of my Leginrave gear.
Wow! Divine Artifact Armament !
As Linne crossed her arms wide in front of her, the artifact that was a platinum sphere dissolved like a soft silk thread and wrapped around both arms of Linne.
Instantly, the artifact that covered Rinne's fingertips to her elbow eventually took the form of a hard gauntlet.
"Odo-san! Let me out!"
"It's you who breaks it..."
Do I have to break it on the premise? "I wonder if something happened..."
It was troublesome, so I put out a large shard of the advanced Freys Light Vehicle from [Storage] in the courtyard.
It drains magic and increases hardness. Place a [Prison] around the armor of the frame gear so that fragments do not scatter. I don't think that's it.
"I'm cumming! [Gravity]!"
Linné's special impact moment, a fierce blow weighing down the gauntlet explodes into a shard of Freys.
In an instant, with a clear and beautiful sound, a fragment of Freys shattered into wooden dust.
"Hey, I broke it..." "I'm glad I left [Prison]..."
That artifact doesn't have the characteristics of increasing physical abilities or destructive power.
Thinking about that, I wonder if it's the characteristics of the God Refractory used in the material...
It's a god's ore that many gods use as a divine artifact material. "It's not strange that it has the effect of amplifying divine power..."
Linne, the demigod, was that powerful. Maybe one day I can build my own artifact. Well, I can't use it on the ground.
"Wow! Odo-san, give me another one!"
"Rinne-san is cheating!" Next, Stef's Ban! "
Stef releases a line similar to the one Linne released earlier.
Perhaps Linne, who was free, was also weak to her only sister. She complained and handed the artifact to Stef.
[Jinjibusu]!
When Stef grabbed the artifact that had returned to the sphere and held down his right hand, a shield as large as Stef's height was formed.
A shield with a platinum colored sigil of a war maiden. Divine refractory stones should not be a burden for Stef, because they will be suitable for the owner.
It was a big shield, but it was the size that matched Stef, and I loved the fact that it was just a little bit of a mini-size.
"Yo, ma'am! Pick up the one from before!"
"Are you going to let me out after all..."
As I sighed, I took the pieces of Advanced Freys out of the [Storage] again.
◇◇◇
"Hmm, there's no particular performance problem, I guess."
As a result of the verification of all the artifacts, no fatal defects were found.
The Magic Disable , which is a characteristic of this artifact itself, was also activated without any problems.
You can't use magic around this artifact. I tried it myself, but it definitely didn't trigger the Search that used my spirits.
According to Kraft-san, who is a god of crafts, his ability to seal his temper seems to be quite popular in artifacts.
It was like Silence in magic. Getting in the way is one of the basic strategies.
What was a little unexpected was that the range of this [Mental Nullification] was different for each of the nine forms.
For simplicity, the immediate white soldier weapon has a small range to disable. In the state of swords, swords, and daggers, it was within five meters of the center of the artifact.
Conversely, guns and harp bows stretch up to about 50 meters. However, as the range widens, the effect at the edge seems to diminish.
If you want to completely block the opponent's spirits, you need to be close enough to engage in melee combat.
After activating Magic Disable , I could not use my Magic Spirit either.
The children are demigods and have been using their magic spirit from birth on a daily basis. That's why it's that physical ability.
Therefore, while Magic Disable was active, some physical abilities were lost. "Well, that's the same thing over there..."
At first glance, you're free to turn on and off, so I don't think that if you use it well, it won't be as much of a shackle... Sometimes I get hit by surprises, so it's better to always deactivate it.
Only Frei and Erna could use Power Rise and Boost , so I didn't think their physical abilities would fall that far.
"However, Frei is still fine, but Elna isn't the type to go forward and fight..."
After all, I wanted Yakumo or Frei to defeat the submarine helmet man around Koyu and destroy each of the evil god apostles after losing the means to escape.
By using the Magic Disable of the artifact, you should be able to break the barrier of the evil gods placed on the [Ark].
But... I got inside, found the submersible helmet guy, approached him immediately, [deactivated] him and defeated him with my artifact... it was quite a blitzkrieg.
I wish I had a diving helmet man alone, but it might be dangerous to jump into a place full of people.
In the meantime, let's go to the doctor and ask him what the situation is like on the [Ark].
Having concluded that, I was transferred to [Gate] to [Babylon].
When he entered the [Institute] of [Babylon], he stared at the monitor mounted on the wall with a difficult face.
Have you made any progress?
"There was something... well, look at this."
The screen switches gently when the doctor operates the small remote control in his hand.
Is this... [Ark] moving?
The waters where the "Ark" used to be are the waters southwest of the continent where Isengard once lived. The [Ark] was moving slowly even though it was lurking in the trench beneath the bottom of the ocean at the western end of the world.
Is it heading towards Isengard?
"In this direction, I guess." Are you going to attack the harbor again, or..... "
Isengard was devastated by the rampage of the Magician King, the appearance of the Evil God, the outbreak of Golden Flower Disease, and many other disasters.
Still, there are many people living there. Since the fall of Isengard, no new country or government has been formed, but each one exists at the level of a city-state.
And in the case of such city states, coastal cities are easier to develop than the middle of the continent.fr eeweb novel
Since Isengard was an industrial country, there were many craftsmen with the skills, and even now that the country had perished, there were transactions from other countries.
The neighboring country is blessed with a great power that wants to trade with the Strain Kingdom, the Gardio Empire, and the Laze Kingdom.
Fortunately? Eisengard will not be directly invaded by the total disruption of land routes due to the catastrophe.
In addition, there was a reason why neighboring countries with many problems, such as golden flower disease, bandit bandits, and refugees from devastated cities, were less attractive and could not find the value of invading, so only trade with cities continued.
However, only the northeast is benefiting from it, and the coastal cities in the southwest are not so developed.
If [Ark] headed straight for Isengard, the southwest would be attacked.
I appreciate the lack of a large Gulf city, but it's not a joke from the perspective of a city being attacked.
"Hmm? You've stopped. What are you doing?"
The doctor slams the console and switches the video on the monitor.
The "Ark" on the bottom of the sea is projected by the night vision device of the exploration sphere, but the soil smoke dancing under the sea is terrible and can't be seen well.
What? Are you digging a hole?
Haha. Are you digging up seabed resources?
Submarine resource? Oh, you're using it to mass produce more Cyclops?
Probably.
The [Ark] is like a submarine with our [Workshop]... Mass production of Cyclops is not a good idea, but I can't stand it in this situation.
If I can get away with the transfer the moment I get in the way, I'll find it and go back to swinging.
"Wait? Mining means you're taking in the ore you've dug up?"... hmm, let's take advantage of this soil smoke and get closer to the [Ark]. We might be able to infiltrate it. "
"What? Are you okay with that?"
Well, I'll leave it to you.
As he manipulates the console, he moves one of the exploration balls, such as the table tennis ball, closer to the "Ark".
It appears that the ship has dug the seabed in front of the hull, taken it up in the middle, sorted out only the ore containing the necessary components, and discharged the remaining soil and sand from the rear.
The sphere is made of Mithril, so it should be retrieved if it's taken in... Are you sure you're okay? Why don't you just drop it in a blast furnace and melt it?
Well then, just by being recognized as having removed the Mithril mass from the other side... oh, it's been successfully recovered.
Looking at the screen, she was shaken so drunk that she was moved along with a large amount of shattered ore to a place she wasn't sure about.
"Wasn't there a barrier in the [Ark]?" Can you manipulate the sphere inside? "
"I relay another probe out there, connecting and controlling magic under the sea and in the air." It's a fine connection, but at least it's okay while we dig. By the way, it is set to self-destruct when it runs out. I won't leave any evidence. "
Fufufu...... and the doctor smiled suspiciously. "No, no, suicide bombing..."
The probe ball that was taken somewhere was loaded onto something like a belt conveyor with excavated ore. At that moment, the doctor flew the probe through the air from the belt conveyor.
The interior of the [Ark] was dim all over and I couldn't see well. I could put on the exploration sphere lights, but as expected, I decided not to do so, as it threatens to be discovered.
Apparently, this place is like a warehouse to store ore.
There are several hatches on the wall that seem to lead to some aisles, but they cannot be opened by a small exploration sphere.
"Look, there's something like a vent." Let's go out that way to the aisle. "
Approaching what seemed to be a vent at the top of the door, a number of slit-like lid portions were pulled out of the probe ball with a small laser to penetrate the body.
"The vent in this hand should basically be connected to any room..." If we don't hurry, the excavation will be over. "
A probe that flies without a sound through a narrow vent. The footage arrived as if it were going down a dungeon aisle.
The size of the inside is not more than twenty centimeters square. The probe slowly progressed through the narrow, branched vents.
"Don't make any noise from this way. Let's go."
The probe bent around the bend as it drifted silently through the air. In an instant, the image is noisy and the probe falls. However, it soon surfaced and began to move forward again.
"Hmm. The relay is about to run out." Before I do that, I need some helpful information...? "
The exploration sphere was bright ahead. On the right side of the vent, there seems to be a vent connected to the room.
I looked into the room from the gap of the lid with several slits next to it, and there were a huge number of cyclops lined up.
Perhaps it is distorting some of the space to make it appear wider than the hull. The view was similar to that of Babylon's "Hangar".
"You've been mass-produced a lot again..."
"Some planes I've never seen before." I wonder if it's the new model? Wasn't we the only one who was developing the technology? "
The doctor sighed uninterestingly.
Hmm, I wonder if I can plant a bomb or something. It would be very helpful if we could destroy the one here in the meantime. Why don't you blow up all these probe spheres and blow them up?
When I leaked this to the Doctor, I was told that the probe's suicide bombing was meant to disappear without evidence, and that it was impossible to blow it up because it used space-time magic to explode. Huh.
"Huh? Is that..."
The doctor stepped out onto the screen with a different viewing angle. When I looked at the screen as if I had been caught, I saw someone I had seen.
A man in a black coat wearing a pesto mask. The [Apostle of the Evil God] was there when the [Ark] was robbed (well, it wasn't even ours).
The man in the pesto mask is manipulating the console on the desk by the wall.
Beside the console, a red crystalline body like a balance ball was fixed to a large funnel, and underneath it, something like a cloudy red liquid was accumulating in a large container.
The red, big crystals at the top. I recognized the crystalline body. [M]
Isn't that the artificial magic stone that was auctioned off by Frei and the Magic Kingdom of Felzen? Why is that here?
Huh?
Is it your imagination? Some of that liquid seems to be slightly distorted... "No, it's not my imagination. That liquid is repeating spooky peristalsis. The rippling like molluscs was creating a creepy atmosphere.
"No way... is that Gratney Slime?"
"Gratney Slime?"
The words that the doctor muttered while watching the footage were inadvertently heard back. It's the name of a slime I've never heard of.
"Gratney Slime is an artificial slime created in ancient magic times. It takes in everything, becomes nutritious, and grows everywhere. Originally designed to handle hazardous waste, it failed, went rampant, and swallowed up a small country that had developed into a giant. I heard that the Allied forces of the surrounding countries managed to seal and dispose of it in the Magic Crystal....."
Sealed? Maybe that artificial magic stone contained that ancient slime?
What are you trying to do with something like that? These guys just... don't like it.
Huh? Someone's coming in?
When I lifted my head to the thought of the doctor's voice, someone came into the hangar from the hatch on the wall.
When we see that incoming person, we unintentionally harden. [M]
"What...!?"
"What is this...?"
The one who came in was not a human. It was a Golem, a mechanical doll. That's exactly what we see every day.
"Gold" Crown, Seraphic Gold. Gorem, whose master was [Master], was in the [Ark], the enemy's main formation. What's that supposed to mean?
"Search." "Crown of Gold, Gold"
Search in progress…… Search completed. Send in one case
When I searched for gold on my smartphone, a pin fell inside Brunnhilde Castle. The one in [Ark] [Ark] must have been prevented by the barrier.
"Gold is in the castle." So who is this guy? "
"Same-type machine? I heard there was only one [Crown] made by Chrome Ranchez..." Are there two [gold] crowns? "
I thought there was a [crown] beyond the [Ark], but I still thought it was an undiscovered aircraft. It is unlike a homologator.
The man in the pesto mask who noticed the [gold] crown is talking about something, but he can't hear clearly what he's talking about because it's too far inside the vent.
Is that man in the pest mask the contractor [Master] of the [Gold] crown?
"I don't know..." Stef said that the situation where he met Gold had also fallen from an empty hole in the first place. If it was a distortion of space-time, the gold and the [Gold] crown's two identical planes might have been sent from the past. "
Noir, the crown of 'Black', and Albus, the crown of 'White', have drifted over time to Belfast, a thousand years ago, due to the rampage of Chrome Ranches.
In the case of the [Gold] crown and gold, it was a time distortion caused by a temporal earthquake, but it was possible that it flew through time in the same way.
"What? The slime..."
A slime and a frosty red object in the container are repeating a violent peristaltic movement. As if to laugh at us as if looking at the screen as if something were going to happen, there was a noise like a sandstorm on the screen, and eventually the screen became dark with the sound of a buzz.
"Oh, my God! You're running out of time!"
When the doctor projected another probe, [Ark] finished digging and was about to move again to the seabed.
The intruding probe blew itself up in the vent and would have disappeared.
"Well, there was a lot of harvest." New Cyclops, Gratney Slime and another 'Gold' crown. I have a troublesome feeling about all of this. "
Absolutely not.
But I wonder what you're going to use that slime for. A terrible slime that once destroyed a country. Maybe I should think about some countermeasures.
"My wives hate slime..." "Maybe I'll need your countermeasures..."
