Magic Gems Gourmet

The iron hammer is assimilated with the castle.

The way to get there is to step inside the castle and then further down the path to the basement.

The castle is decorative martial bone, but if we look at the stone used instead, Ein also found that the processing technique is rare.

Gido-sama, I'm sorry, but I don't want to do this anymore.

As soon as I entered the castle, Leonard said again.

The dwarf, the guard of the queen who leads the Ishtariki people, nods without a word of disagreement and says sorry.

“I'm so sorry. I left him to me.”

However, I felt that it was not just the man called Riordo who wielded Giddo's fist that was the problem.

(The dwarfs around me were also standing up....)

Ein never forgot how he laughed at Sylvia.

However, I don't point out that, and that's why I was laughing at the party Sylvia, so it was hard for Ein to touch her.

― ― ― While intercepting the conversation, the party proceeded further down the underground path.

This underground tunnel had a somewhat different atmosphere than before.

Floors, walls, and ceilings are all black and smooth materials, and the pale, instant pattern is engraved in the narrow space.

As I continued, Ain, Sylvia, and Marco were unexplained.

"This pattern is stunning." Marco doesn't think so, either? "

"You're right. This is the same as the magic stone in the monster's body circling its magic power." I still can't believe I've seen this kind of technology. ”

It's like a living weapon.

Until Ain came here, I was skeptical about the existence of the Hammer of the Iron King.

So, how do you manage the weapons you need to hear? But after I got here, I finally understood.

The old dwarfs' technical abilities are different from those of modern times, as if they were living weapons.

I wonder how many enemies there were.

Sylvia says, listening to Ain's unexpectedly crushing voice.

"There used to be a time when I couldn't imagine living in the same country with another race. The dwarves in this country had friendships with the Dark Elves, but that was a rare example.”

"...... Ah, indeed, the head of Fuorun said the same thing."

“That's why I'm here. The Dwarves must have used their skill to build a gigantic weapon - the Hammer of the Iron King. But if you see where you can't handle it, you'll know the importance of equilibrium."

If it had been handled well, the dwarves, not Ishtarika, might have been the hegemon of the continent.

I thought... but with Sylvia and the others around, it wouldn't have made a big difference. If the Iron Kingdom has done its best, I don't think Sylvia will be there in silence.

(Hmm?)

After confirming this, Ein finally saw the staircase ahead of him and let out an "oh-ooh".

"What a staircase."

Murmuring in a small voice, Leonard, who was complaining about Giddo earlier, approached.

"... Your Highness... No, my lord. I have decided to exercise every day when I return to the capital."

"Ahahah... maybe." It's healthy. "

Leonard unexpectedly softened his voice because the path running inside the numerous tubes that spread out over the top of this underground space consisted entirely of staircases running on his own feet.

The only way to get to the center of the hammer was to go up the stairs.

Many of the tubes that go to the wide ceiling can go from anywhere to the top, but the number of stairs doesn't change wherever you go.

After all, I had no choice but to do my best.

"Didn't the researchers have muscle pain?"

"As you said, almost everyone was physically tired from their head." And I'm convinced that I'm going to be exhausted by that. ”

"... when we get back to King's Landing, let's exercise together when we have time"

"Hah----be sure to do that."

Before long, Leonard had finished preparing his mind, and he began to move forward in a curious step.

He takes the Dwarf, the Knight, and himself leads the way to climb inside the Iron King's Hammer.

Behind them, Ein also took Sylvia and Marco up the stairs.

Of course, the knights I brought with me will not feel so tired, and I will not even run out of breath.

Rather, it was the body of the Iron King's mallet that waited far ahead of the stairs.

The consciousness of the black and white cube was only facing, and I couldn't stop thinking about what kind of construction it was.

― ― ― Eventually, I went up the stairs for about ten minutes.

After exhausting his breath and caring for Leonard, who had somehow managed not to break his knees, Ein stood in front of a pitch-black cube connected by the tip of the tube.

I thought Ein was going to put it in there.

But it wasn't.

The body of the Iron King's hammer, which was a pitch-black cube, had no choice but to do its best from the outside.

I can see if it comes close to the tip of the pipe. The main body of the hammer had a scaffold that allowed it to go out from the tip of the tube and close to it.

The researchers were particularly careful because the scaffolding was a dangerous place to go down if they weren't alert.

When Ein told Leonard to rest a little, he moved forward with Sylvia and Marco.

Along the way, Giddo, who did not know that Ein was here by faking his identity, offered to guide him, but once the three of them flaunted it, they proceeded without fear on the iron scaffolding.

This scaffolding overlooks the iron country.

Being underground, the sky could not be seen, and the sight of modest houses in an ancient civilization revived the sight of Ain's first king behind his eyelids.

Strangely, the air is not bad, and the coolness is not bad whether there is a flow of wind.

"Ein-kun, can I do my own research?"

"Okay, then, I'll be watching with Marco, so if you need anything, just call me."

"Yes, Ein-kun, let me know if anything happens."

Sylvia leaves the two of them, and she walks out of the scaffold in a state of curiosity.

First, while looking around the main body of the Iron King's Mallet, Ain looked for a place to touch the main body of the Iron King's Mallet.

I was wondering if that was possible.

"...... now you know exactly what I'm thinking."

That's right, if it's about Ein-sama, I'll take care of it.

Ain, who proudly said thank you to Marco, heads to the scaffolding that Marco found.

When I reached out from the scaffold at the end of the road, I was touched by a pitch-black surface.

Somehow, this is like art, isn't it?

“Yes, probably technically, too. The pattern engraved on this body also has characteristics similar to those in our monster's body. That's what I saw in the underground roads and tubes."

"Ahh... if you ask me, I'm sure"

The body of the hammer is engraved with the same intricate pattern that was in the pipe.

In addition to its own beauty, Marco praised the sublimity of the effect created by this pattern itself, saying that the crystal of wisdom sublimated into art.

(--- Yeah?)

An iron hammer at a height that can be said to be almost in the sky.

Ain touched the surface and felt uncomfortable with the magical power in it.

What's the matter?

”Hmm... I can't breathe my magic, but I feel like I'm going somewhere while I breathe it...”

Perhaps that is the specification of the example.

Ah, if you forcibly drain or replace the magic power, the Iron King's Hammer will run rampage.

"Maybe." Looks like it's not something we can easily understand. ”

The interior of the massive weapon, created by the old Dwarves, does not seem to be easily understood by Ein.

Ein was relieved that the queen was not lying here.

But Ein noticed something else when he touched the hammer.

... regarding the suspicious points reported by the researchers the other day.

The suspicion was that the magic power inside the hammer was irregularly attenuated. Regarding this, Ein also felt uncomfortable when she touched her hand.

At the same time that I sensed that my magic power was moving irregularly, I was stupid enough to hide somewhere.

I remember that stupidity.

Previously, when I saw the underground lab on the Golden Route in Birdland, I instantly remembered that I had detected a magical movement similar to that.

Should I say that I am still here or that I have come here?

Ein was glad that she had stepped on it---and she was relieved from the bottom of her heart, and naturally, the Dragon Man/Sera had crossed her mind.
