Magic Gems Gourmet

It will truly be a last resort.

The power of absolute obedience that Shannon received and Ain has evolved is too strong, so I don't want to use it as much as I can now that the influence on the opponent after use is not clear.

That's why we've run out of other options.

Why, my lord?

The name Leonard used earlier to call Ein.

And Shannon, leaning his neck, asked.

"I'll hide my identity." When I get down on the ground, I'm going to be a general. "

General? Even though the child was traced to the Duke's house, is it okay for Einar to be called Lord?

“Of course, and Leonard usually pays tribute to his boss, regardless of his title, and I don't think it's going to be a problem this time.”

”Hmph... that's right”

Then, Shannon's figure faded.

When she became translucent, she eventually walked towards Ein,

"I'm asleep, so if you need anything, just call me."

With that said, I walked straight ahead and layered my body on Ain.

With that, she disappears completely.

Ain smiled bitterly that it was a strange way to disappear. She looked out the window, then looked at the door leading to the outside of the room, and then dressed.

Let's go.

Finally.

To this day, you can finally set foot in the iron country that has disturbed Ishtarika.

◇◇◇◇

The iron tower is for stopping the airship that Ein came aboard.

Of course, it wasn't Bahamut.

Bahamut will understand Ein's involvement, so this time it's an ordinary, but even larger airship than before, called the "General Class", invented by Rolan.

There were many knights in the idyllic plains below, and dozens of dwarf men clandestinely peered at them at a distance.

Anyway, the knights couldn't have known about it.

"No, no, no... you're the only one who imitates you rudely..."

“Hmm. If it's too much for your eyes, you might as well say it.”

Then why don't we go now?

Listening to the knights, Ein smiles bitterly nearby.

"Grandpa told me I could lick you, but well... don't worry about it for now." It would be troublesome if we had a problem here, and it would be the same as when the researchers have been there, right? "

”Hah... as you say, it was extremely rough”

"I see. I've never heard the word 'rough' before."

"But it wasn't that much... they were..."

The knights moved ahead of Ein with anxiety.

Behind them is Leonard, accompanied by the researchers.

Further behind, Mine took Marco next to her and Sylvia on the other side.

Sylvia-sama.

Marco walked and said with Ain between his legs.

“It's an ancient civilization built by dwarves, but how great is it?”

"I don't know because I've never seen it before." But while I was traveling, I had the chance to touch the magic tools they had built. ― ― ― As I said before, you can't be ridiculed for your technical ability.

As I've said before, this Sylvia has enough technology to do it.

It felt pathetic and unstoppable to say that the dark elf had been struck by the pornography of the dark elves, but it must have been the beauty of the kingdom.

(over there)

As the procession progressed, the scenery ahead began to warp.

The dwarfs standing in the back were still standing, but one day I felt closer than they were walking.

... when the skew in the view clears up, I can see the answer.

When Ein noticed, a gray fort sat in front of him.

It was a simple little fortress with stone bricks. At the entrance, which remained open without a door, there was a dwarf figure that had only been seen standing on the plain before.

With my eyes peeled, I could see that there was a path leading somewhere into the back of the fort.

(For example, magic tools)

It must have been the effect of a magic tool that falsified the surrounding scenery.

If you see it like this, you will understand it very well.

Ein, you can't do this.

Little Fort---Sylvia said as the entrance to the Iron Nation approached.

"Well, do you want to say it now?"

"I'm sorry. If I get hurt, I'll make Krone and the others sad when I get home, right?"

"... that's right."

"Ahh, look, look, don't worry. I'm watching Krone-san's body, so don't look so dark. Okay?"

I'm worried about what I'm told.

Even with Sylvia's assurances, I can't ignore the physical condition of my contemplator.

Ein, worried to come here, stepped into the fort.

The three are surrounded by knights, and the knight is surrounded by dwarves.

Marco and Misty were laughing bitterly at Ain, who thought that even if they weren't obedient, they would be a little more cooperative.

"Straight ahead. If you fall into the right and left holes, you won't be saved."

In the words of the dwarf, Ein said, "A hole?" As soon as I thought about it in the debate.

Follow the path behind the martial bone fortress and you'll find an underground space that seems to be continuing everywhere.

There was darkness on the left and right of the long staircase, so long that it could not be seen ahead. With the exception of the slightly lit lights in the corner of the stairs, there are no other lights that look like lights.

Jitoku...... the warm wind stroked Ein's cheek in disguise.

(This is amazing.)

The staircase followed the dark path that led downwards, with a ray of light.

The staircase, which seemed to stretch everywhere, was finally in sight after a few tens of minutes of walking.

There was a giant statue standing one by one in the darkness that the Dwarves went to when they fell. The giant statue's hands stretched from the left and right, and there was a deepest depth in its center.

It was a stone door lined with torches glowing blue and green.

"Continued later."

The dwarf still speaks with a noble attitude and reaches for the door.

The door was engraved with a complicated pattern. The dwarf's hands touch or not, and those patterns fill the pattern while emitting blue, red, and green light.

The door gently opened to the left and right as the pattern grew pregnant with the colorful light.

---and Ein saw it.

(...... Is this really underground?)

It's bright and changed from the darkness of the past.

In the vast underground space, huge columns stretched from the ground, and a huge stone castle gathered at the deepest point.

Before Ain, a wide road followed, reminiscent of the main street of the capital.

He moves his gaze back and forth between the castle beyond and the huge pillars.

"Wow, I wonder how the lights work."

Sylvia was equally surprised.

Unlike Ain, she is distracted by columns and non-white elements.

I can see that this underground space is bright. But the lights are not pouring out of heaven like the sunlight from the outside, but the lights from nowhere illuminate the whole.

Sylvia seemed curious because the light source was bothering her.

"Hah! I don't understand anyone outside!"

The dwarf said to Sylvia as he went over to the knight.

"You see, our wisdom!" You see? Our technology! "

"Hahahahahaha! Come on! If you don't know that, you might know something about other people!"

”I can't believe it... you're not a dwarf, are you?”

Tension ran among the knights.

It was Sylvia, Elder Rich's Sylvia. She was the mother of the first King Marc, a powerful man who made a name for her at the time of the Demon King's War.

How should I protest to the dwarves who mocked Sylvia?

They were expected to open their mouths with the presence of Ain.

... but the Dwarves will soon be light-hearted.

By Sylvia, whose voice is not through their minds.

"Oh, the pillars are made of Snow King Rock." Is that why you don't need a light source? "

"... do you know...?"

"I know." The monster that lived in the snowfield fossilized its remains after its death, right? If you pass the magic power, it will emit natural light, so it might be easy to use.

Ein, Marco, and Leonard listened quietly.

Sylvia's words continue to cause an upset among the dwarves.

"But I've often decided to use Snow King Rock." It may be easy to use, but that natural light is poisonous to the body when it's being exposed to it on a daily basis. "

"What, poison!?"

"Oh... I'm sorry if I didn't know. Don't worry about it."

Sylvia then suggested that we go down the road to the Iron King's Hammer.

Knights who know their way lead it.

On the other hand, the dwarfs, who had a noble attitude before, rushed to Sylvia to keep up.

"No more is acceptable. Get away from me."

"Hey, why is that?!" I'll just listen to you! "

"If you really want to do it, it's later." After we ask Sylvia to come, we will send a message to the iron kingdom. "

"W-w-whoa, you son of a bitch!"

"Wait! Don't give me your hand!"

The moment I raised my arm, another dwarf strangled me...

"This idiot ahhh!"

Another dwarf suddenly appeared and struck the dwarf's cheek, which remained strangled with feathers.

Ein also remembers the person's face.

Today, as a separate act, the man who returned to the iron kingdom with the knight who had travelled first was Giddo, who served as the queen's escort.

"Haha--- Giddoo!" What the hell are you doing! "

"I've told you many times to stop imitating fools!" Why would you do such a stupid thing even though you're the deputy guardian...... Riordo! "

It seems that the name of the man wielded by Gido is Riordo.

The position is that of deputy guard commander.

Sure enough, he was in the second position to escort the Queen.

"You have to go back already!" Why can't you understand that attitude is destroying the iron kingdom! "

"What, what...!?" Don't you have the pride of a dwarf in you! "

“Do something stupid. Because I'm proud, I have to stop you."

This is the end of the interaction between the two.

Because the dwarf called Riordo left the place with his tongue clapped, and immediately Giddo bowed his head to the party including Ein.

“I'm sorry for the inconvenience.”

Giddo bowed his head deeply and then led everyone.

So Sylvia said to him, "I'll tell you more when I've settled down."

"Now you can help Ein-kun."

She says in a voice that can only be heard by Ein, smiling at the beauty.

I thought I could use that information for some kind of negotiation.

I have no choice but to thank Ein for this.

But are you okay?

"You mean Snow King Rock? That light will have a negative effect on the human body if it's been showering for a long time, but it's really a long time."

By the way, how long is that going to take?

"I wonder if it's a 10-year unit." And I think you'll finally be able to recognize your physical condition little by little. "

In other words, I really don't need to worry about this time.

Especially in the case of Ain, there is also toxin decomposition EX, so it was even more serious.

Even so, it's fast and lively.

It is by no means insatiable.

I was expecting some disturbance, so I was just relaxing.

The sight of Ein gradually began to change.

The number of dwarves watching Eindhoven from the corner of the main street began to grow. Ein looks ahead as she thinks she is the first to see a dwarf of women and children.

Deeper into the Stone Castle... that's it.

My lord, that's the Iron King's Hammer.

said Leonard.

Ein saw it and came to an understanding.

"... the Iron King's Hammer was assimilated to the Iron Kingdom Castle"

The huge pipes that appeared at the rear of the castle stretched upwards. The thickness of the pipe was large enough that a typical private house could afford it.

Looking at it, I couldn't stop remembering the tower of wisdom in Ist.

Another thing that caught my eye.....

(Is that the center of the Iron King's hammer?)

Several tubes stretching from top to bottom complicate the universe behind the castle.

A pitch-black cube that doesn't reflect any light, fixed in the middle of the tube... it was giving off an unparalleled presence.
