Magi Craft Meister

13-27 Inad Mine

Time is back a little, mid-June. When there has not yet been a technology exposition in the Empire of Shouro.

In the kingdom of Klein, the meetings were disputed day after day.

The current agenda is the Inad mine in the territory of the former Earl of Walter.

The policy of dividing the territory of the former Earl of Walter and giving it to the new nobles who had merit had already been decided.

The village of Toka is to the Associate Baron, Lisia Farheit. And incorporating the Inad mine east of it into Jen's leasehold.

The problem was in that Inad mine.

In Inad mines, gold, silver, and a few Demonic Crystals (Magi Crystals) can be picked. They account for about five percent of all mineral resources, both as a source of income for the kingdom and as a source of support for industry.

It's a shame to let go of a source of income of five percent.

Even though it is my decision, it may be human to spare me letting go when I have to.

"May I say, then, that it will officially be Lord Jin's leasehold from August 1st, and that we will do everything we can to mine it by then?

This is it.

King of the Kingdom of Klein, Aloys III sighed softly at the bullying of the cabinet.

"(Looks like the old aristocrats aren't left alone with Count Walter...)"

But it was his limitation as king that he could neither speak of it nor represent it in his attitude.

"So, what do we do with the miners,"

"It's inefficient in humans. This is the kind of time you should use the golem."

"Just, don't you have twenty generic golems? I was wondering if I could send ten of them in."

It was made by Jen.

At first glance, it was in the interests of the country, and I could not argue with clear arguments, so I could not say that even a king could not do without a headache.

The next day, ten general-purpose golems and a wagon convoy were sent out. It will be accompanied by the leader, Viscount Buyer, three Bolton Allstatt and Heinz Rush, and the men of the carriage.

Viscount Buyer became a leader by saying he was familiar with mine management. In addition, Bolton can distinguish the ore with its' microscopic demonic eye '. Heinz is a guard.

The line took six days to reach the Inad mine.

The Inad mine opens its mouth firmly over the hills, and the pits are dug diagonally downwards.

The perimeter remained as it was then, when Count Walter broke the magic guide for management to free the criminals who were letting the miners attack the village of Kaina.

"All right, let's get to work!

After cleaning up scattered rock chips, demon guide fragments, etc., I just started digging.

The performance of the generic golem created by Jen was a tremendous one.

The generic golem, which does not extend far to the Golems of Penglai Island, but is about ten times more powerful than ordinary humans, holds the tsuruhashi, the tagane, the hammer, etc., and digs out more and more ore.

You don't need to worry about the air, you don't need to eat.

All you have to do is fill the Magic Reservoir (Mana Tank) with Magnetin once a day. The Magnetin (Mana) feeder for this is also loaded in the carriage.

The lights are as minimal as necessary.

All of this is Jen's credit, but Viscount Buyer doesn't even realize that.

I'm just grinning and staring at a pile of ore piled up in front of me.

Bolton will identify them and classify them as gold and silver ore, crystals and quartz, Demonic Crystal (Magi Crystal) raw stones, etc.

"Again, it looks like the mineral veins are running out. The percentage of ore containing gold is falling."

To Bolton's report, Viscount Buyer issues a new order.

"Let's dig deeper. Golem would be possible."

It is an advantage of the Golem to be able to work in the water to some extent, even if water springs up. The Viscount ordered us to dig deeper into the mineral veins to the point where it was impossible for us to be normal human beings.

What two months of ore was mined during these weeks of work.

As the work became routine-worked, the Viscount began to descend frequently to the nearest village, namely the village of Toka.

In terms of distance, the village of Kaina is closer, but that's because of the psychology that, sooner or later, I don't want them to know that I'm mining on a steep pitch right now.

But such caution was also powerless before the Kaina Village Surveillance System "Heshen".

Since the previous attempted raid by Count Walter, the Inad mine has also been subject to surveillance.

In addition, there is a special magic line attached to the general purpose golem, connected to the old man called the tracking system. All of Golem's actions were defeated by the tracking system.

"They're desperate to mine the ore."

"Yes, we seem desperate to put it in our own pockets."

'Bully, shall I say? A perfectly greedy person is everywhere.'

'I agree. So, what do we do?

'You can leave it alone. Such a poor mine, the same whether it's there or not. Besides, I'm talking about your husband (My Road), so there's a chance he'll stick around because it's a hassle to manage.'

I can't help but think you're poor. [M]

The Inad mine's Nissan volume is approximately 0.5 kilograms of gold, 3 kilograms of silver and 6 kilograms of copper. Tin 4 kilograms, zinc 10 kilograms. 0.1 kilograms of misrilled silver. 150 kilograms of crystals and quartz and 15 kilograms of agate. And demonic crystals (Magi crystals) 0.5 kilograms, etc.

It is about a fifth of Penglai Island. Moreover, this is due to the performance of the generic golem made by Jen. There wasn't even a tenth of this when humans were going.

"And you seem to have dug quite deeply,"

The highest point is the Inad mine in the highlands over the village of Kaina. Its main pit depth exceeded 100 meters and was about to reach 150 meters.

July 1. It is the date on which Lisia officially took office as Lord of Toka Village.

Viscount Buyer had stopped resting and left in the village of Toka the morning before, trying not to bowl in with Lisia. He knew that Lisia was very close to Jen.

"Well, I guess it's time for the tide"

Four of the five carriages I've led have already been sent home. The remaining carriage was also buried with more than half the ore. It'll be full in a day or two.

Though a generic golem with good performance, it takes longer than I thought to unload the ore from deep underground beyond 150 meters.

"If you get any more inefficient, you won't be profitable."

Already, it has become impossible for humans to mine. Giving away such a mine would rather be an affront to the other party, but the Viscount doesn't care about such a thing.

Because it is the country that cares, and it is the royal family. I have only done the work which I have been commanded to do.

(It's just a little bit forward, though.)

Viscount Buyer whining in his heart alone. From the gold mine they dug out, they secretly refined about two kilos of gold to make it their own. Yes, the Viscount could have used the engineering magic of Refining.

And July 2nd.

The carriage was almost full and the work was to be completed in one day on this day.

Bolton, who had been appraising the ore day after day, was most pleased.

"Can I go home now? Damn, that was a job you didn't want to do, albeit an order... Speaking of which, I heard Gloria's coming to Toka Village, but we might see her tomorrow."

I had such a small hope.

But.

At 6 p.m., the depth of the main pit was managed to 200 meters, that's when.

It suddenly sounded like a ground.

"What?"

Soil and dust then erupted from the pit with the roar.

"Downfall?

I'm just sorry if the pit over 200 meters collapses. Even the Golem will not keep them safe.

Viscount Buyer blued with the thought that the blame lay on him, who might lose ten precious general-purpose golems.

But things weren't that simple and raw.

From the crashing pit, massive rocks erupted. It flies and falls through space for as many as ten meters. The standing tree near the pit exit was broken.

Ten general-purpose golems have also erupted together. but not a single one is safe, such as the one with the arms removed, the one with the legs bent.

"Ko, this isn't just a downfall!

Bolton shouted in an unstoppable sound. Heinz is also on guard. Only one, Viscount Buyer, is a wolf and doesn't seem to know what's going on.

And 'it' appeared.

"What is this..."

What crawled out of the pit.

Five meters in diameter and fifty meters long. The metallic surface is surrounded by metallic greens, with countless legs on both sides. Four eyes, glowing red.

"Hundreds...?

It was a demon very similar to a giant hundred feet.

"Uh-oh!

It was not one; two, three… five giant hundred feet crawled out in total.
