Black Summoner
Episode 134: The Great Canyon of Zhu
- Zhu's Grand Canyon
To the east of Pars, the Grand Canyon of Zhu exists along the border with Trysen. It was originally included in the territory of Tricene, but it was the place where we transferred it as Pars' territory when we made the peace pact in the past wars and created the Quiet City Pars.
A rough 50-metre road stretching between the reddish mountains is now the shortest way to connect Pards and Tricene. No hand is forced to climb the mountain, but the mountain is high enough to reach the clouds in addition to steep slopes reminiscent of almost right angles, making it extremely difficult to cross even if there were means to fly. And because there are a number of C-grade monster nests in the bird and beast system that are sensitive to the signs near the sky, it's much safer to use the path below the valley if you're going as a lined up army. For that matter, I think they'll be wary of ambushes.
"Arrival, always. What time is it, Effil?
We arrived at the entrance to the Trysen side of Zhu's Grand Canyon amidst heavy sand smoke. Beneath the valley was a karakara and dry road, but the territory on the Trysen side beyond the valley is deserted. If the whole territory looks like this, that would make food difficult. Plus, declare war on Trage, who was the spindle of the deal in that. I wonder if the people and merchants of Trissen will think anything of it?
"You just went around 11: 00. It's roughly the right time."
Effil took my pocket watch out of the chroot and answered, 11: 00 or almost lunchtime.
"I'm sorry, my king, but will you let me out?
Gerrard, who had dematerialized, has urged. Gerrard is not blunt-footed, but he travels at an exceptionally low speed compared to the rest of his crew. That's why they had me back in my magic until I got there.
"Right. I summon now."
Summon Gerard quickly. Black armor, familiar from the demonic squares, reveals itself.
"Hmm, I've been following everyone here lately because of my age. Next time, I'll take my riding skills and let Alex ride me."
"Gaw......"
"Mm, you don't have to look like that. I'm gonna be stubborn!
Alex moves around endlessly, just like Lion, but does Gerard think that much? I'm not talking about the rodeo, absolutely.
"Haha...... because Alex dives into the shadows. Jerrah, you're a knight, and you can ride a horse or something?
"I don't have the skills, but I can ride more than the crowd. I'll tell Lion next time."
"Really? I promise! Fingering Fingering"
"Um, fingering."
Well, it's good to soothe the dust, but it's time to work on your next move. I won't be able to make it to lunch.
"All right. Then I'll give each of you a role. Effil prepares lunch first. Cookware okay?
"Enough. I have a set of utensils that your husband made for you, and Crowe has them for you. Do you have any lunch preferences?
"Washi, cutlet bowl!
"I'm an omelet!
"I'd like something light. I'll leave what to Effil."
"I can do anything (as long as it's Effil's cooking)."
"Gaw! (meat!
"I think I'll make a bowl of cutlets too."
"Yes. I understand. Can I take care of Crowe, too?
Normally, we should unify the dishes we make here. We'll cook without difficulty if we give hope. We'll be sweet on Effil.
"Serra, Lion, Gérard, Crot and Alex are crusades of monsters around the desert. Oh, you can ignore the monsters up in the valley."
"Why?"
Serra puts on her face.
"Just in case Trisen tries to cross the mountain, it can be used instead of stopping and alerting. If anything happens to Serra, you'll notice immediately.
"Well, there's plenty of room at this level."
"Besides, they're not going to attack me unless they try to climb the mountain, so you can ignore them. Time's up... we'll meet here in an hour."
"What will I do, my lord?
Melfina, who has not yet been assigned a role, raises her hand lightly.
"Mel's working with me."
"Oh, no way in this place -"
Goth.
Chop into Melfina's head blushing.
"We'll build a wall here."
- An hour later. Looks like the Lions are back after work. I just gradually divided it up in a good place. It's been smelling good, too. Do you want to make it rice?
"I'm tired. Looks like Effil's got it, too. Shall we have lunch?"
As soon as I get back, Lion and the others start staring at the wall, which is what I'm made of.
"I'm in Kerr more than that... this is more than a wall..."
"Yeah, well... as a result of your hard work, I guess?
A black castle fortress is erected to block the path of Zhu's Grand Canyon in order to prevent the invasion of Trysen. Everything from the giant castle fortress to the walls is unified in black, all of which have the strength to line up with a rigid black black sword (Obsidan edge) that specializes in defense. Under the guidance of Melfina, I created a new S-grade green magic [The Rigid Black Castle Fortress (Obsidan Fortress)]. To be honest, I was doing it at first with Nori that I wish I could make something more powerful wall, but I could do something like this because the special training of the Great Wind Demon Sickle (Boreas Death Size) made me better at handling magic.
"It's a castle. And more than in the elves..."
- Zudon!
"Are you getting sturdy?
"Selah, don't try to break it all of a sudden. Please."
Serra suddenly stiffened her fist, so she was in a bit of a hurry, but the walls didn't seem damaged. Boulder s-class magic. Maybe it's because Selah didn't mean it.
"As for S-class magic, it's still an easy category to control, as long as it focuses on protection. I was wondering if you could handle the sickle that was that rare, rampant horse."
"Is that what this is about? Hmm, you've become a castle for half an hour without a castle overnight. Exterior interiors are likely to be customizable in a variety of ways -"
Guh.
Mm, my stomach rang because of the use of my head and magic. We need to get Effil's bowl of cutlets to his stomach as soon as possible.
Decide to eat the detailed description and start eating at the table set prepared by Effil. I also made a room for each facility in the fortress, so I guess I'll eat inside next time. While I'm manipulating the wind, the sandstorms are terrible here.
"After this, I'm moving on to Golem retrofitting."
"Golem's, is it?
"Oh, as one of the means of Trysen interception. There are now 53 Golem stockpiles, all housed in Kroto's storage except for the Golem placed in the Mansion, but more than half of them are still full of guys who haven't been fitted with Gatling cannons. If you use magic to rebuild it from scratch, you can also create a fully-equipped golem from the start, but it's a waste of magic."
The more powerful the golem, the more MPs it consumes. It would be cheaper to build a golem that serves as a primitive body and install mass-produced equipment. Now that you have time limits, it would be best to take this approach, which allows you to keep your MP warm. I don't want to be too reliant on healing pills to vomit in front of my people. As far as magic details go, there is still room for this type of golem generation limit. Numbers are power, and I want to make them as much as possible.
"Then I'll help as usual, too. Now that black magic has become S-class, it's going to make you more possessed with soul manipulation possession (mind integration)!
"... where do you source the spirits that make you possess? It was the monster in the dungeon of Trage that possessed you before."
"... I'm going to run off to Trage for a bit!
"Wait, wait! I need you to help me with something else! Look, like devising new equipment!
Though often referred to as auspicious days, Serra is serious and quick to make a decision.
"Speaking of which, what time do the Sabats arrive? You were in Kerr, and you contacted him properly?
"I asked Eli the Firm to give me a message, so I'm fine. No problem. If it's the foot of an A-class adventurer, why don't you come as soon as you feel like it?
"Well, I'm not sure."
"You'll be here by the time I forget. So, it's work from this afternoon -"
It was then five days later that Sabat and his men came to the great canyon of Zhu.
