Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru
Lesson 397: Substitutes
"It's going well. I got a lot of pretty high standard material at the martial arts tournament, and other than that, about thirteen people this month... especially one of the two people I got today... I thought it was no better material than that Cosmo"
"Seriously!? That's good...... I was wondering if I'd go check it out later? Oh, I think it's okay because I'm getting Zadiac to keep his mouth shut for once, but don't overdo it, okay?
As a result, Zadiak has no idea what the Sumerian government is doing.
What King Sumerian calls "mouth-watering" is "don't do an audit on the Sumerian Adventurer Alliance," and it wasn't about silencing the grab.
If an audit enters the Adventurer Alliance, it is immediately known to the public and its rating for the Alliance is significantly reduced.
King Sumerian was putting pressure on Adventurer Alliance headquarters from Zadiak to avoid it.
"I understand. There have been fighting tournaments this month, and we have gathered more than usual, because we have given instructions to keep them to no more than thirty people during normal times. It's just... one thing that bothers me."
"... what?
Tension runs into the conference room.
The king's low voice had just the toughness to make him do so.
"Olgren... seems to be making some disturbing moves"
As soon as possible, there is noise in the conference room.
Olgren is the Grandmaster who heads the Alliance of All Adventurers.
Assuming it is perceived, it could turn out to be the worst for Sumerian.
"I was still there... hmm... so, what exactly?
"Yes, according to reports from surveillance, he normally toured during the day, but confirmed that he would enter the Adventurer's Guild in the middle of the night... perhaps he went to see Wolfric. I don't know what we talked about, but Olgren and Wolfric are close in age, and maybe there was a connection we didn't know about."
"Oh well... you're so devilish"
"Yes. Very"
King Sumerian hasn't heard anything like that from Zadiak.
On the contrary, Olgren had heard that he planned to return to Olympus as soon as the martial arts tournament was over.
"Because of Zadiak's character, I don't think he's going to keep Olgren away from me for this long..."
"Yes, I mean, what Olgren is doing now... I thought it would be his personal will"
With pressure from Zadiak, if Orgren were to be in personal motion, he would be deciding he couldn't overlook the anomaly of the Sumerian Adventurer Guild.
Robert, the Sumerian king, concluded so in his head, no longer at a level where he could say something long, "if it had been sensed" … etc.
"... can you handle it?
It means, "Can you do it like Cosmo?"
On that inquiry, Linaria shook her head quietly beside her.
"It's impossible. Our power does not allow us to see him. An SSS-ranked adventurer, including Arre, no longer exists beyond reason in this world… if you reach for a detour, that's what will destroy the country"
It is doom in two ways: it misses Orgren and it does so as a result of Sumerian anomalies being exposed to the public… and physically… with his power.
"... Can't I use an array?
"It's possible... but either way, the town will collapse, and most importantly... I was wondering if this is still the time to use it"
"Right... So what if it's a positive attack?
"If His Majesty were to advance to Zadiac or... but I still wondered if I would need a reason to do so"
"Hmm... to Zadiac," Olgren's still here, but what is it? "You ask? Then they're going to say," Maybe you can only go out once in a while, so you're just sightseeing? "or something..."
"It's possible. For whatever reason," let me pull it up quickly "… and so on, Zadiak could give Olgren certainty, even if he can cheat"
"... static for now, I guess"
"I was wondering if that would be okay now. Whatever it is, you absolutely must avoid only exposing it now. It is true that our country's weapons are active in the wars of the North, and the day is near when the public will find out about it… then our country will be in a position to lead the world. We are now using substitutes, but any time it is easy to spit out the demonic stones that each country is accumulating… inevitably, the Babinians will be drooling over our country as well"
"Right...... All right, while Olgren's here, tell him to stop collecting material. And then the limit for the month is fifteen half of the time."
"Yes, sir."
"Even Rae wouldn't seriously be willing to destroy a tee turn, and it should be time for peace negotiations to begin. If only that were the case..."
"Yes, the Demon Guided Weapon created by our country… His Majesty stands in heaven by artificial Demon Stone Airmen (High Golem)"
Artificial Demon Stone Airmen (High Golem).
It was developed in preparation for Sumerian battles against neighboring Babinia, which Sumerian has fought for many years, with reference to the usual Demon Stone Dolls (Golems) in the dungeon and elsewhere… a self-contained Showdown Demon Guided weapon.
They vary in size according to the application, but are common and about three meters tall.
It stands like a knight in armor and is made of Medgal steel native to Sumeria with high physical defense and magical resistance.
The basic uniforms are swords and shields.
Other than that, it can accommodate a variety of battle stations, including mid-range types equipped with spears and bowguns, long-range types equipped with artillery, and assault types with two giant shields and one turn larger than normal.
The destructive power rolled out of its gigantic body is remarkable, it is extremely durable, it is just an utterly indispensable showdown weapon, but above all, artificial demon stone fighters (high golems) naturally have no emotions.
No tension, no impatience, no fear, no guilt, just wave the sword as commanded, without having all the emotions that would be born in battle.
From what I relate to, nothing has ever been more troublesome.
No matter, there are shortcomings.
First of all, the indistinguishability of enemy allies was a major drawback of artificial demon stone fighters (high golems).
The artificial demon stone fighters (high golems) are arranged in a magic circuit so that there is no dispute between them, but everything else that comes close is the enemy, and even if they are allies, they attack without question.
The instruction uses a dedicated demon stone, which can be carried out from somewhat remote locations, so it is not a problem. Finally, the artificial demon stone fighter (high golem) continues to fight everything in sight until the built-in demon is nearly gone.
Also, its "built-in magic" was the second drawback.
No matter how the battle situation prevails, when the built-in magic is about to run out, the Artificial Demon Stone Soldier (High Golem) begins to retreat to the designated location.
The timing when the magic runs out is impossible to fully grasp it, although the uptime and so on gives some indication.
For this reason, if you do not treat them well, you will be prompted to give your enemies a chance to fight back.
However, one of the strengths of the Artificial Demon Stone Soldier (High Golem) was that if the battle had not been destroyed to the point where it was impossible to continue, it could simply replenish the magic and return to the front again.
And the final drawback.
The core of the artificial Demon Stone Soldier (High Golem) was particularly pure among the demon stones, and it had to be the same size.
In a line of demonic stones, even if activated, it ran out of fuel immediately, making it almost useless.
A miscalculation is created here in Sumerian.
Sumerian man-made demon stone fighters (high golems) were brought to the practical stage over the years, coinciding, oddly enough, with the depletion of tea-turn demon stones.
This led to the developers holding their heads, starting with King Sumerian.
The enormous development funds and the most powerful weapons that we have created over the years are rendered useless simply by the lack of fuel.
That is unacceptable.
Also, Sumerian King Robert had a dream.
I dream of turning Sumerian into a superpower that will blow under the sky... beyond even the five great nations.
That's how he comes up with being in the midst of ambition and misery.
If you can't get the Demon Stone, you can use something to replace it.
To something else that can store mighty magic.
That's... who I was.
