Legend

The second experiment on the Mithril barrier was successfully completed, so what should we do next?

Isn't it important to do the experiment?

There were almost no surviving pigeons in the camp.

Captured by a prison of flames, the wormhole starves to death unless it stores its energy by any means.

Somehow... specifically, like Ray did for the Mithril barrier, he once disarmed the fire pit and threw stones and trees to absorb them as black dust.

"Ray, what's wrong? Looks like you're thinking about something."

Leaning against Set, Ray looked up at the winter sky, and Nielsen, who was also sleeping on Set's head, asked.

Ray is a dragon robe, and Set is a griffon, so even during the winter days, there is no trouble with the cold.

But Nielsen didn't have that many useful magic items and abilities, so he probably kept warm by sticking to Set.

It was a beautiful winter, with blue skies and no clouds in the sky.

However, even in such weather, it was only winter and the temperature was low.

"No, I was wondering what to do with Mithrill's barrier experiment." I didn't think there would be any trouble because there was less sagging. "

"Do you still want to continue the experiment?" I've already done it twice, so that's enough, isn't it? "

"You can't do that." It is necessary to do this kind of number accordingly.... then maybe we should lure you to the camp, even if it's a bit far away next time. "

"Um... why are you doing such a troublesome thing?"

Nielsen muttered in a troublesome smell.

To be honest, Ray felt the same way when he saw Nielsen.

We already know that the Mithrill barrier is working.

I've only tried it twice, but from Ray's experience so far, the Mithril barrier is a pretty powerful magic item.

But that's not just what Ray thinks, it's not what he actually tried many times.

Beyond that, there was definitely a need for more rigorous verification.

If Ray thinks so, it's okay, and Ray goes with Nielsen to the stronghold of his loved ones... what if something unexpected happens at the Mithrill barrier in the meantime?

Of course, when I have to... when I really can't help it, I still have the choice to leave it to Elena.

But it was only the last one.

If there's nothing else we can do.

(Ask Elena and she'll try to deceive me.... and the Mithril barrier has already been mass-produced. If you think about it, it's not far to go to the base of the people who are related to him.)

Relying on Elena means that the neutrals rely on the nobles.

I have a personal relationship with Ray, but the faction is a faction.

Nevertheless, the Neutrals and the Aristocrats are now in a friendly relationship.... some factions don't find it interesting, but the higher ones are united.

In addition, the aristocrats who thought it was not interesting were those who had previously obstructed the construction of the Gilm.

(Hmm, I'd like to finish the case as soon as possible. But it's a little too hasty to make a mistake. I'd like to do something about it if I could. Now that we're not too far from Gilm, it's easy to come back....... Oh, no.)

Ray immediately denies his thoughts.

If there was a stronghold of interested parties near the Gilm in the first place, it wouldn't be like this.

That's why they attack more often... and more accurately.

Not only in the Trent Forest, but also in the Gilm, it was a very big uproar.

That way, Duskers won't be able to deal with it easily.

In addition to sending out bombshells, it's not surprising that there are terrorist attacks... by unknown associates.

In that sense, Ray thought that this situation might still have been fortunate for Gilm.....

Grr

Set?

Set's throat twitched as Ray suddenly leaned over.

Could it have been heavy? Ray thought so, but when he got up and looked at Set, Set looked in a certain direction... Specifically, at the place where the carriage was parked when the supply carriage came.

"Huh? Are you here already?" It's so fast. "

Normally, the resupply carriage arrives in the afternoon, but it's still before noon.

"Did the carriage come? Well, let's go check it out....... ah, but maybe we should clean up that way before then."

Nielsen?

In response to Nielsen's words, Ray followed his gaze.

Then, there was an adventurer running towards Ray in a desperate shape.

What?

"Huh? But, yeah, you're running hard, so maybe something happened." You definitely need to deal with those people before you go to the carriage. ”

Saying so, Nielsen shows a look that doesn't seem very interesting.

If you go to Nielsen, you'll want to go see the carriage as soon as possible.

It's not that Nielsen especially likes carriages, but simply because she was free, she probably thought that she would do something like that when she saw the carriage.

Ray also understood Nielsen's thoughts, but he still couldn't leave the adventurer coming towards him alone.....

(Ah, but maybe)

Isn't the adventurer running towards you related to the carriage?

Ray stood up, thinking it wasn't strange when it came to timing.

I wondered if it was better to wait like this than to run towards me anyway.

Ray walked toward the adventurer.

Set, with Nielsen on his head, walks next to Ray like that.

"Ray, can I talk to you for a second?" Hurry up. I just got a supply wagon... "

Bingo, "Ray nods, thinking of the words of the adventurer's man.

"Okay, I was just on my way to check out the supply wagon, that's fine." But... the supply wagon arrived so quickly. "

That's right, Master Dusker is here.

"... what about you?"

I thought there was a reason why the supply wagon was earlier than usual.

I knew it, but it was quite unexpected that Dusker would come with us.

"Master Dusker? No kidding, no kidding?"

"No kidding, no kidding."

"... why again?"

"Even if I ask you that, there's no way you'll know, right? Anyway, Master Dusker told me to call Ray, and I came."

“All right, then I'll be on my way.”

"Please."

Saying so, the adventurer's man ran away from the scene.

Seeing off behind him, Ray was on his way to see Dusker.

"Oh, Ray, I'm sorry for calling you so suddenly."

Dusker confirms Ray's appearance, and when he sees Ray, he says so.

You still look fine, but can I come here without work?

With that in mind, Ray nodded to Dusker.

"No, I didn't have anything to do in particular, so that's fine."... but are you sure you want to come to the camp so often? "

As a matter of fact, if there were no such things as coughing up, Ray wouldn't have anything special to do as it stands.

Beyond that, there was nothing wrong with Dusker calling me to come right away.

After hearing Ray's words, Dusker laughed in a bit of embarrassment.

"I see. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to be here too often." However, I had to act a little faster in view of the matter. "

"The matter of the hatchet... could it be..."

In Dusker's words, Ray could have predicted it somehow, but it couldn't have been so soon? I have a feeling about that.

"That's right. We were able to produce a certain amount of Mithril nails that created the Mithril barrier." The number itself isn't that much, but it'll still be easier than the one Ray's using. ”

Were you able to mass produce this early?

Dusker told me that we would mass-produce the magic items that would create the Mithril barrier.

Still, it's a surprise to Ray that we can mass produce the Mithril barrier in the last few days.

"Mass production is a little different." The method of making it has been made public, but those who know it are still struggling with it. An alchemist is a normal thing to do in his own way. Even if you tell me how to do it, I don't understand it. I don't understand it. This is the best way to do it. It looks like we're talking like that. "

"Ahh... I can imagine it somehow"

For Ray, there were many opportunities to deal with the alchemists.

In addition to that, many people think their style is correct, and it is not difficult to predict that some people will think that it is not interesting to do things the way others do.

But... in other words, I have a question as to why you brought me an extra Mithrill nail.

When asked about it, Dusker opens his mouth, smiling especially with a male smell.

"It seems that the man who first developed the Mithril nail that created the Mithril barrier had made something in the middle. I made him do it."

"What did you make halfway?"... you're a very good man, aren't you? No, well, considering Mithril's barrier performance, it's definitely faster than hellfire...

"Oh, that was a surprise to me, too, when I first heard it. No way, it's better than Ray's prison of fire."

Dusker knows what Ray is capable of.

With Set, you have the strength to fight each other even against the country.

That's why I was so surprised to hear that the Mithril barrier kills the bastard before Ray's prison of fire.

In Ray's case, it was not surprising that he would capture rather than attack, so he was forced to change the original Ray attribute of the flame to create a hell of a flame.

The difference in perception around here is that I know Ray's strength, but I don't know that he specializes in the essence... of the flame attribute.

Speaking of which, it's good to be able to mass produce Mithril nails, but what happened to the request you made to the flat?

"Wanted?...... Oh, someone who can move the barrier of Mithril."

That's it. I can't move the prison of fire, but I think it will be very useful to capture and study the pellets once the Mithril barrier is able to move.

Dusker nodded without any particular objection to Ray's words.

Currently, if he encountered a pitfall far away from the camp, Ray was defeated by magic instead of using hellfire.

I know it would be best if I could bring such a person as a research subject.

However, given the current situation, it is difficult for researchers to observe and study the creation of a prison of fire in a distant place.

That's why, if the Mithril barrier can move, it will be the best outcome.....

“I understand the convenience. However, it seems that you can't change your hatred and your surroundings right away."

"Does that mean you can't improve it?"

Ray asked with pity for Dusker's explanation, but Dusker shook his head against it.

“No, the first thing we need to do is we need to prioritize building numbers. When the number is up to a certain level, and even if the enemy attacked the camp, they decided that something would be done about it, then they would try to improve Mithrill's nails again."

"I see.... it would be helpful if it were possible."

As for Ray, I want him to improve it as soon as possible.

However, I didn't understand the idea that it was more important to get a few numbers together first.

Besides that, I can't be dissatisfied with the answer from Dusker.

"I think it's bad for Ray, but I need to get all the numbers together first."...... so, about Grimm Earth? "

"Huh? Is that why Master Dusker came?" No, I don't know. "

Grimm Earth, who lives in the aristocracy of Gilm, came to Trent's Forest at night because Dusker told him about the baby.

Anyway, Dusker notified us about the baby, but it would be difficult to imitate it like leaving the Gilm at night... If you leave it by horse-drawn carriage, it would be difficult to imitate it like leaving the place where the extension works are being carried out.

If so, it is natural that Dusker properly granted permission and thought that he came out through the main gate, and it is sufficient that he wondered whether the Grimm Earth would not come back and came to confirm.

... so I was wondering if Dusker himself could come as Ray.
