Civilization Game

From the story of getting kicked out of Celine without being asked, to the story of working hard at the new home, Abyss, to the story of getting finger-pointed instead of witches trying to devour children.

"Is there a law against witches taking care of orphans? Did the witch do something to people? I also know this old man that dark magic is an unsightly force. But she only brought her home because she couldn't bear to see those bloody people dry! (* Sobbing *)"

"……"

Do I have to believe this? Should I not? Lord is in a state of panic, and Eve approaches and whispers in his ear.

"It's true. Some of the orphans he raised worked for the Sanctuary or the Guild. Everyone still comes to the orphanage to say thank you."

"Huh? Well, were you?"

"Hehe. Everyone up there has that kind of misunderstanding."

At that moment, Michelle and Lau, who thought they had gone to the orphanage, rush back and sit on the floor, hugging the crying old woman. "Don't bully my grandmother! 'I yelled. Lord feels shy.

"Was it prejudice? '

Lord bows his head to the old woman.

"I'm sorry if I misunderstood."

*

After breaking up with the elderly, Rod's group walks the commercial district again.

"Eve."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Support that orphanage with royal funds later."

Eve chuckles.

"But did you feel guilty about what you said?"

"... Hush, hush."

"Actually, you didn't do anything wrong. not only you, but everyone up there misunderstands what the people of this country look like. This is the last stop for every straggler on the continent. There's a kind of empathy that only stragglers know about."

Eve stops walking in front of a building, saying that.

"Here we are."

"Where am I?"

"It's a lab."

And she added.

"Mad Scientists' Lab."

"…… Something is very suspicious."

Unlike the mysterious muttering, Lord slowly walks into the building. If Eve brought him here on purpose, there must be a reason.

As soon as I entered the room, I could see the stairs going down to the basement.

"Hmmm. I told the king I'd be visiting, but no one came to see me."

Eve looks around and says, The three of them decided to go down the stairs first. The stairs run quite deep.

It was either because it was dark around Jibraan or because it was a den of mad scientists. As I went down the stairs, the smell of spicy medicines became darker.

"Welcome!"

All the way down the stairs, a man suddenly appears beside the wall. I was furious because everyone was so sensitive.

"Thank you for coming all the way to this dreary place! I am the head of this lab, Harvard West!"

He makes a soprano sound that sounds like a tricky tail that doesn't come from a man's neck. There were flashes of frenzied eyes in her tousled hair, red stains, presumed to be blood, on the white robe, giving off a peculiar atmosphere. Rod turns his back, eager to return to the stairs, but he struggles.

"Come on, come on, this way."

Harvard leads, and the other three follow. Harvard asked as he was talking about things.

"I was surprised to hear from the royal court! His Majesty is thinking of visiting such a humble place... He's not interested in this kind of thing, is he?"

Lord pretends to be warm in his heart, but unharmed.

"Oh, well. I wonder how he got interested."

"Hehehehe! You really don't know people's business."

Harbert showed me around the lab. The lab was large enough to be called a giant underground base without a scratch. From mundane chemical studies to large experiments with animals or monsters. It felt like a secret research group aiming to overthrow the world in a movie.

"Shhhhh!"

"Ugh!"

As you leave the fourth lab, you hear a tearing scream. It was definitely a human voice.

"What's that noise?"

The rod bites sharply.

"Oh, it's coming from the human lab. They're probably undergoing a procedure."

As I blow it gently, I faint on the side of the road I asked.

"Are we using humans for experimentation?"

"Haha! Of course. It's human research."

"…… illegal?"

"Illegal! That's a word I've heard in the Abyss. To put it bluntly, procedures are illegal on the continent. But every experimenter knows that, and they get a fair price for it. And of course, when you start experimenting, you might regret it a little bit. Hehehe!"

Harvard raises his hand in a dazzling look.

"Ah, for me, Abyss is heaven! There are people everywhere who want to be tested, and it's easy to get the bodies! There's no better place to experiment on the entire continent!"

"…… Aren't you from Abyss?"

"Yes, I'm from Aland! They were expelled for illegal experimentation. But!"

He just slapped his forehead on the rail! Everyone stops walking in shock.

"Who made the boundary between sacred science and lawlessness? Who set you up? No matter how powerful religion is on this continent!"

Harvard turns his head. There was blood flowing from his forehead.

"Science must be equal! All religions and countries forbid human experimentation and dissection! But beyond that! Take a small sacrifice and lift the veil! Humanity could save tens of millions with two or three lives! Instead, why don't people know that scientists are more committed to humanity than the pagans? Why?"

"Hey, hey. Calm down."

Harvard lets out a sigh and leans over the ledge.

"Oh, I'm sorry about this. You've shown disrespect in front of the High Assembly."

You really are a Mad Scientist. Lord secretly opens his Status window.

Harvard's mindset is unique. He's been working on novel and unique inventions since he was five years old, and he's obsessed with creating things that are increasingly new no matter what means or means.

Increases Harvard's probability of failure in research and development, but increases Harvard's probability of success to produce a surprising additional effect.

━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━

Big time! A C + class hero in such a shabby place... '

Lord glares at Harvard with a glimmer in his eyes. He looks dull with a sheep's cheeks on his tousled hair, but suddenly he looks classy. Of course, men are capable.

Of course, it doesn't change that you are a dangerous person to be around. But Lord was in a situation where he had to somehow summon his own forces, and he felt it was not the time to cover up the cold water.

Lord has made his decision. And the next question was, how do you get a scientist to move on this first night?

"Harbert."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I'm glad someone like you came to my Abyss. Is it uncomfortable for you to be in Aland, a scientific country and continue your research here?"

"Yes?"

Harvard blinks as if he were trying to understand Lord's intentions. Then he spoke in a stiff tone, as if he were reading a language book.

"We are doing well thanks to your interest."

I wasn't expecting that! '

You know how to socialize with a scientist! But Lord didn't give up. He pokes Harvard in the side and says,

"Oh, come on, say it out loud! Huh?"

"……"

"There are some disadvantages or disadvantages to being unable to do so."

Harvard hesitates for a moment and says,

"Of course, it's easy to find a test subject here and not have to look for useless…… but the facilities in Aland are also better. because we're getting more technology, we're getting the latest tools, we're getting special research materials, we're getting instant support. It's a little uncomfortable that I have to solve everything on my own from one to ten."

"Hmm, really?"

Cook stabbing makes me very drunk. Rod pretends to be thinking with his arms crossed.

"So, do you think he's going to put a bridge in Aland?"

"…… Yes?"

Harvard's eyes twist.

"W-what do you mean?"

"It may be difficult for you alone, but with the power of the exaggerator, I can bring you into contact with the country at a state-to-state level. You speak roughly of the technology advisor representing Abyss. And then we have an official partnership with Aland to bring in equipment, drugs, etc., etc."

"……!"

Harbert tilts his torso as if it were tempting. Rod continues on his horse, vigorously.

"In fact, Aland may need your strength. There must be some sort of unauthorized data from illegal experiments or a special specimen that they're not allowed to do. Maybe we can sell some of that weird stuff you made over there. Leverage each other's strengths. Win?"

"Well, am I going to be royalty?"

"Well, that's the paperwork. Just put on a technical advisory badge, put one office in the palace. Normally, you'd have to keep working in your lab."

Now I wedge it with sweet words he seems to like.

"In fact, where are the barriers between countries in science? Every scientist strives for the progress of mankind. Isn't that the true science of equality you were talking about earlier? That's what the Guan thinks."

"…… Khh!"

Harvard began to weep, covering his mouth with both hands.

Why is she crying again? How many people have you rung today? Me. '

"Khhh-heh-heh-heh! You're absolutely right! A thousand hits!"

His mouth starts to spin as fast as a motor.

"Ah, I might have had a grudge against the Aland who kicked me out for a while! And maybe I'm the only one who has this perfect gift and is satisfied with myself! But this is a big, big mistake, created by a bigoted accident! Beyond nationality, every scientist's talent must be spent on humanity! Let's all chant it together! Science is equal!"

"Equality."

Lord mutters without a soul, but Harvard is so moved that he doesn't seem to notice. As he continues to mutter, he looks back at Eve and asks.

"You okay, Eve?"

"Are you really going to use that strange man?"

She seemed surprised at Lord's sudden actions.

"You seem capable. He's a little dangerous, but he'll do just fine if he's controlled. All we have to do is give the impression that we're a tech advisor, and in return, we want you to build this, and then we want you to make that, and then we can pull it out."

"…… I'm a little nervous, though. Very well. We'll deal with it as soon as we get back to the palace."

"Good."

"I'm surprised."

Eve said, leaving the lab.

"What?"

"I was considering and introduced to the Royal Research Alliance, but I never thought that alliance with Aland would lure him into the Royal Court……"

Lord smiles beautifully.

"Well, actually, I did it a little abruptly."

"Maybe he doesn't like it very much. Hah, I should have explained that part before I scouted."

"Him? Who is it?"

"... I'll see you soon. Come on, let's go. because I often look around."

Eve walks ahead, saying so. Lord tilts his head and looks behind her, catching up with a swift pace.
