Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Side: Leo's

At the end of the contract we had with Nora when we asked her about Rose, she said, "When Nora and the others find the Dwarf technology, we have to help them bring it back. Also, it is written that the technology related to the ship must be given to Nora and the others."

At first, it was said that Nora would monopolize all the technology, but Elsie rounded it up.

It's not like the Dwarves have such amazing technology, so you don't have to be that adult.

That's what I thought, but I would have said Elsie was right.

With that in mind, I watched a dwarf bewildered by spatial magic.

"I-Is this...?"

"It's my castle."

”Hmm... it's a pretty good castle with all the details in it, isn't it?”

"The person who designed this is going to want to have a drink overnight."

Forgetting the surprises of the past, I immediately began to check the structure of the castle, and I was impressed by the greed of the dwarves for making things, and the people whose blood flowed the same as that of Master Furishi.

“Hahaha, this castle was built long before I was born.”

"I see... that's a shame"

"This is the city of the outside world..." Certainly, as the lasses say... don't feel outdated from the point of view of them. "

The building outside didn't seem to like it.

Even this is better than other cities.

"Is that so..."

“But with you, we should be able to get the same level of civilization as the Dwarves right away.”

"I mean... do you mean to teach the Dwarfs their skills?"

"Well, in a nutshell, that's right. But there's something else I can surprise you with."

Having said that, I showed my master's signature demon sword.

”That's... the sword you showed me earlier.”

"Yes, we call it the Demon Sword." Don't you want to see anything else about the invention of my master who made this sword? "

"Ah, ahhh... definitely..."

Well then, here we are.

What is this place?

I got approval, so I brought everyone to the basement of the orphanage by spatial magic.

"It's the basement of a certain facility. I only know my wife, a few of my men and my best friends. Of course, I've never shown it to my kids before.”

Looking at Nora's face while saying that, she looked at the splendid safe and was surprised, her face hardened with her mouth open.

"There was a safe like this..."

Is the invention of the descendants of the Craft King amazing enough to be managed so tightly?

“Yes, if the times are different, if the existence of this thing spreads, there might be a war.”

Originally, it was packed with gold coins, but it was troublesome to put them in and out, so it is now a place to store treasures that are useless.

Well, you made such a nasty thing and left the world.

Well, as I was dying, my master was only thinking about stopping my son's rampage.

At that time, my master risked his life.

Even now, there are times when I wonder if I should have stopped it.

"The skill king's rampage..." Did your master stand up to the Skill King? "

No, I ended up facing a brave man.

"Yu, you're a brave man!?"

"Yes, what I'm going to show you is the armor that will give you the strength to stand up to a hero."

Oh, I can't stand that kind of armor!

Well, I can see you're going to be mad at me. But if my master risked his life, it would be possible.

So, my master was a genius.

”Oh, is that a good substitute for such a genius to clean up?”

"Aren't elderly people making noise?" But even that's because my blood pressure usually goes up. "

"Ah, ahhh..."

Well then, let's open the safe.

"Awesome... it's a treasure pile"

Enter the vault, look at the decorations made of gold and silver and the paintings that are called masterpieces in this world, and go deep into the vault.

And when I got to the deepest part, it was decorated with full-body armor made of white glowing mithril.

Is that the armor you wanted us to see?

"Yes. No matter who you ask, they'll tell you that you don't know the effect of the magic cube depicted in the armor." Do you understand that? "

"The ones who are familiar with the magic circle are Kaoru and Dig." Let me see..... "

That said, Grandpa Dwarf and Dig started to see the magic cube drawn on the back of his armor.

"Hey, hey... this isn't iron, is it?"

"This is boring..." It was all mithril. I've only seen the sword left by the Skill King. "

Where did you get that rare metal?

Huh. Mithril is a rare thing for dwarves.

"Yes, I still have it, do you want it?"

I-Is Mithril something you can easily get here?

"That's not true." There's nothing I can't get, but I'm the only one in the world who has it. ”

Rosé answered me earlier than I could explain.

Somehow, it feels good to have your father praise you.

"Hey, now I know the nature of this armor."

It's a stone.

Even though I haven't seen it for five minutes, I can't read it. It's a Ryoki Dwarf.

"Shit. The guy who made this doesn't seem to even think about the guy who wears this. It's disgusting."

What do you mean, what do you mean?

”I wasn't able to decipher all the Rubik's Cubes, but to be honest... it feels like a magic armor that takes the life force of the wearer and strengthens the wearer”

Huh? Master, what an invention!

Well, at first, it's a structure that removes magic power, but then, once the wearer's magic power is gone, the life force is no longer extracted.

"I see... this must have been the cause of my master's mysterious death."

"Mr. Holland..."

It wasn't an overworked death, but it wasn't like the armor was draining the life force away from him.

I don't know if I was ready to die... but I guess I should have stopped...

After a while of researching the armor, we returned to the castle and resumed negotiations so that the Dwarves could provide us with the technology.

"You showed me something quite interesting." I wanted to improve it so that everyone could use it in the future. "

"That's good." If you want, I'll have the land, the materials, the people. ”

"Hey, do you give up on your magic engine dreams?"

Speaking of which, that's what we were talking about over there. Is it an engine that uses magic power to generate electricity?

If we could invent it, we could have a clean industrial revolution in the world that would not involve air pollution like Earth.

I'll leave the magic engine to Dig.

"I-I don't know..."

"If I'm biased toward my knowledge of magic tools, I'll definitely harden my thinking." Compared to that, you have inherited the wisdom of the four of us equally, and you have flexible thinking. You're the only one who can make my wish come true. "

"That's right. We have to return the favor that you let out to this person." I don't have time to focus on research anymore. "

"Well, I don't think I care about engines." Do what you want to do. "

”I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...

Then build us a magic engine!

Just as Nora, who had been quiet for a while, was here, she grabbed Dig's arm.

Certainly, magic engines are technology that can be used on ships.

I wanted the magic engine technology first... but I had to give it to Nora.

When I thought about it, Elsie, who was standing next to me, clenched her hand as she made a sound.

Apparently, it was quite regrettable that my daughter took the magic engine with her.

Hahaha. That's good. Four out of five dwarfs would provide us with technology, given the number of people? He said he could make enough.

Well, my daughters will be dispatched to the energy industry in the future.

“We need your help. Isn't that right?"

"Ah, uh, uh..."

In Nora's brazen eyes, Dig-kun is a fool.

Poor thing, he won't be able to escape anymore.

"Gahaha, you're funny." Come on, Dig, follow my girl. I'm sure they'll entertain you. "

"I felt it was a bit tough for Dig to live outside, but I don't think I should worry if the girls are with me."

"Fufufu. The deal is done. I won't let you go anymore!"

"Wait, ah, ah..."

When Nora got closer to Dig-kun, Dig-kun's ears turned bright red.

"Hehe. Dig, my face is bright red."

"I guess that's the only way..."

”As you can see, young lady, Dig is a poor speaker and has a lot of trouble, but... thank you very much”

"Leave it to me! I'll make Dig happy!"

Hahaha. Somehow, he looks like a man who greets his wife's parents.

Well... a boy like Dig might be a good fit for a ruined Nora.

Dig, take care of my daughter.
