The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 9 - Preparing for Winter ② -
"Why is this?
"Heh heh - Dwarves are interesting enough to be salivated."
The Dwarves looked at the paper blurred with a red face, but their eyes were soon opened and their drunkenness had awakened between blinking three times.
"Is this... a blueprint for a weapon? That's all I've ever seen. Did you write this?
"That's right - it's a force I've been writing about. Can you create it?
"Little girl, you don't seem to know what Dwarf is, do you? Even the ingredients can't be made for Dwarves. There's no such thing!
Don, and the Dwarves pounding their chests and laughing gahaha. So Cowen took out another blueprint.
"Then I'll get it out here too - but the person who designed this said, 'I think it'll probably take over 100 years, think about it in the long run' - how about this?"
"What!? You're selling us a fight to Dwarves!
That drawing the Dwarves took so that it would snap, but the Dwarves looked at the drawing and blued it. Because the Dwarves had incomprehensible drawings there.
The Dwarves blued and asked a terrible question.
"You, uh... are you seriously going to make this?
"Of course I mean it ~. But I'm not the one who suggested it, I'm the captain of the regiment ~. Can't you ~?"
"No, I'm not saying I can't. You fly iron birds into the sky, it's not like you fly kites up into the sky, is it? I know the reason, I can make it. But how many people die of thought and error? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
"Would you like to meet ~?"
"Oh, I'm getting interested in Russia. I love idiots who come up with no claps like this."
The Dwarves have been discussing the blueprints ever since. Its blueprint, named 'Iron Bird' by Alphilis, was conceived so that it could fly through the sky without the use of a flying dragon. Power is incomplete, but we're going to figure out how we can fly without utilizing magic. Alphilis seems to be going to use fire for the time being.
Cowen asked about the necessity. In this world with Tenma and Feilongs, I wonder if such a thing would not be commensurate with the effort in development. But Alphilis' answer was ultimately simple.
"What if all the dragons and Heavenly Horses are wiped out? Flying magic doesn't work well with all that sorcery association stacking up research, and the only species cooperative and flyable to humans are Heavenly Horse and Dragon. Assuming the flying Demon King seeks the total annihilation of the Flying Dragon and Heavenly Horse, humans will be destroyed in no time."
Cowen was shocked by the words. It is certainly a possibility that I have not seen before in my thoughts. When has it been the first time you've been pointed out a hand you never thought about a strategy? And the words Alphilis added shocked Cowen even more.
- The dragon's decline has already begun. We humans will have to fly sooner or later. I don't know if that's decades or centuries from now, but if the ocean can't cross for rough currents, then we need to find a world outside this continent.
How far ahead is Alphilis' idea in anticipation of an era? Cowen has thought of the century-old total, but never of the millennial total. Perhaps, though, Alphilis has even thought about the thousands of years of history leading up to the decline of mankind. Cowen was shocked by that, kneeling toward Alphilis, who turned his back, and was courteous to nature and his subordinates.
At this time, in Cowen, Alphilis was not a collaborator, but officially the Lord.
"(I have decided - it is for the sake of Alphilis that I dedicate all of my wisdom ~. Alphilis is not just a mercenary - I am sure he will make history ahead of him ~. No - after Alphilis walks - it will lead to a better history of mankind ~. I will eliminate all those who stand in the way for it ~. First of all, for that matter ~, we must leave what will be an Orange ~. And even to the schemers who have not yet won properly ~, I must win ~.
It's a very difficult journey, but I'm sure I'll try to do it) "
Cowen had one resolve, completing the drawings that were incomplete at once and bringing them to Dwarf. And brilliantly, he succeeded in drawing Dwarf's interest. Take Dwarf in as a companion, not as an exchange condition. This is the prospect of Alphilis.
And Alphilis' measures continued even further. After getting along moderately with Dwarf, she asked Dwarf where the elf was. Alphilis read that Elf and Dwarf are famous for being friends with dog monkeys, but because they're not close, they know where they are, and in fact it was a hit. Alphilis also made this idea because Alphilis thought finding out where the elves were would be a trump card against one Orange Bull.
But until now, trying to gather information, I couldn't find the elves' whereabouts. Asking the Seekers, the Elves refused to engage with other races and wondered if they were hiding somewhere. Seekers and elves have been unfamiliar from the beginning, and this has fortunately stopped coming and going since they made non-interference agreements with each other.
It's been a long time since the elves publicly refused to engage with humans, but I didn't think they were even refusing to engage with Seekers and other races. Then we will talk about what Roxanne is in the Deep Green Palace, but she was a heretic during heresy among the elves and was not very helpful.
I asked Roxanne herself about the inside of the elf again, but that was all she said was that she would never crack her mouth, and that if she tried to force her mouth to crack, she was being sorcered so that her memories about the inside of the elf would be erased. That was that all the elves out there were alike, and in principle once inside, they couldn't go back on rare occasions, and they needed to be quite punished and constrained to go back. It was therefore pointless to question Roxanne.
Where there was no hitter, Alphilis acted quickly, who was to be able to relate to Dwarves.
