The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression

Lesson 41: The Wise Man Looks Around the Weapon of the Empire

A magic workshop stretching underground in Teito.

I was circling through it.

Kill the imminent sorcerer and proceed as he breaks the line.

He had a bunch of paper in one hand.

It is the material found in this magic workshop.

According to the materials, the Empire is also developing weapons other than cannons.

It looks like only that turret is complete at the moment.

If we had left it wild for a few more days or so, a few more types of weapons would have been implemented.

It's a huge workshop, so I've only been able to explore some of it.

I will also look into the remaining rooms and bring back all the material that seems like it.

For the record, from the description of the material collected, we also identified the presence of the partner countries.

It is a country that provides materials, prototypes, technicians, etc. to the Empire.

At times, he's been with me since before I became the Demon King.

However, I find recent research here particularly enthusiastic.

It obviously seemed to put the anti-demon king in perspective.

The disposition of the partner country shall be put on hold once.

Because we have to get help behind the empire that leaned in this battle.

Even as a partner country, it would be inconvenient for the Empire to fall here.

If you leave me alone, I'll be sure to help.

(That's fine. If we don't get mankind to hold hands together)

Continuing to explore the workshop, I discovered an open space.

It's a special metal covered room on the inside.

It was very durable and was also treated to prevent magic from leaking.

It is quite rigorous equipment.

Several prototypes in the process of manufacture were placed indoors.

I take one of them.

It was on the desk, and the exterior is a small cannon.

A grip is attached to one end of the grip.

It looked terribly like a missing crossbow of parts.

(This was described in the dossier)

I turn the materials I collect on the road.

I immediately found the relevant location.

This seems to be a weapon called an iron gun.

They say the burst ritual is planted, thereby flying a dedicated bullet.

They had a variety of performance challenges, and now they were adjusting.

I will try that weapon.

The material said how to use it, so I imitated it.

Is the center of gravity biased or hard to aim for?

Although I am not very familiar with the military, I do get the impression that it is incomplete.

The weapon of the prototype, including this artillery, will be brought back to the king's capital later.

It's easy with a space manipulated curse.

We were able to transport the World Tree Forest itself, so this degree can be transferred in no time.

In Wang Du, you might want to build a research facility like this workshop.

It should be feasible if we gather the knowledgeable from among the subordinates.

Because we are going to capture it, I also wanted to try to develop weapons.

I will talk to Grom and Luciana later about this.

Next to the spaces lined with prototypes was a room lined with shelves.

The shelves are filled with tons of material all cut out.

Seems painfully classified and stored by type.

(What material?

I begin to read the material in my hand to try.

There was an overview on the turrets installed on the outer walls.

The name of that weapon is called a demon cannon, and they say it's a weapon to attack from outside the range of a mage or bowman.

Apparently, it was planned to be an interception requirement in base defense.

Development began five years ago.

Research is underway in secret, with the cooperation of partner countries.

Then, with the advent of the Modern Demon King, he also embarked on the granting of the Holy Attributes.

So he switched from just an interception weapon to an undead special attack weapon.

It was generally as expected.

Next thing I know, I fish for materials stored nearby.

I discovered the document because I thought it had been written by the designer of the magic cannon.

It's in a journal-like format, quite thick.

Because of this, I'm going to read it on this occasion.

Very high-performance demon cannon, but initially it seems to have been difficult to navigate for manufacturing.

They produced no results on an annual basis, and there was less pressure from the upper echelons of the country.

There were places where stupidity and sarcasm about it were spelled out in extensions.

I'm not interested in the distress of the designer, so I skip reading.

What caught my eye was the second half of the document.

Around the point where the topic became the modern demon king.

Loosen your paper-turning hands and pay attention to the description.

One day, the designers received new orders from the upper management.

That's an instruction to incorporate Holy Attributes into the Magic Gun ammunition.

If you say so, it is a modification to counter the Demon King.

In a situation where the design of the turret itself has not even been able to get busy, the designer troubles his head for three days and three nights.

It wasn't something that could be slightly modified, but he has no temper or authority to say no.

If it wasn't time to deliver results, we could have been punished.

The designer, hunted down to the extreme, suddenly obtains a revelation.

He discarded the nearly written blueprint and reviewed the structure of the demon cannon just as it flashed.

That's how he quickly created a new prototype.

The development has proceeded smoothly, as lies have so far, and it has been possible to row down to mass production of finished products without going between them.

The designer's excitement is described as obvious.

Since then, the magic theory had been documented with pride.

The intentions and tricks of the internal structure are also written.

I wonder how happy I was with the completion of the Magic Gun.

At the end of the document, the annotated blueprint chicks were also listed.

…………

After reading them, I put my hands on my forehead.

He was attacked by a light flicker and accidentally left his back on the wall.

A human being would have sighed.

(Everything is a mess...)

Regardless, it is the designer's perception of the document.

In this magic theory and design, the magic cannon can't be stable.

If you do poorly, a huge explosion will blow up the workshop.

Nonetheless, that cannon is complete.

A bunch of accidental flashes mesh like some kind of joke.

Even though I am now the Demon King, I was also called a wise man in my lifetime.

With a ten-year blank period, I am proud to say that I am proficient in magical knowledge.

I also intend to understand the blueprints.

In the methods described in this document, the success rate is extremely low.

Even if it took shape, it wouldn't be as stable a performance as that demon cannon.

As far as the document goes, the designer's witchcraft knowledge is shallow.

I am familiar with it compared to a common sorcerer, but I am probably more knowledgeable.

The blueprints are scattered with a number of coarse, and abrupt alterations are very common.

It was not uncommon for the designers themselves not to understand why it worked.

He said those involved in the development reacted in a similar way, but those questions seemed to have been pushed away by the joy of completion.

No one must have made it a problem because mass production went unabated.

(- Obviously some kind of intervention is being exchanged)

Summarizing the information I conclude.

Otherwise I couldn't explain it.

That said, it's not an area where you can do something with some plan.

It would be the flow of the world, if I were to mention the possibilities that could be considered.

The cause and effect of destroying the Demon King worked.

Interpreting it that way, I can also be convinced of this unnatural phenomenon.

The impetus from the world is not just the awakening of nothing brave.

Like this one, it also appears in the form of heaven and miracles.

It's just my guess, but it can't be a big mistake.

This has become a genuinely alarming situation.

Even under the water, there are moves underway to annihilate me.

That is also a simultaneous and multifaceted development.

The world is on the side of humans everywhere.

Even if this just turns out, this invasion of the Imperial capital was worth it.

Measures are difficult, but policies can be decided in anticipation of this phenomenon.

Apparently, the existence of a demon king is something that should be completely eliminated.

It was the moment I recognised it.
