Chapter 149 – 1. Talos, and the Spear and Shield (3)
Hosea and Joshua were suddenly appointed magic teachers while YuRia was working on the SimCity plan. Elza and Liza began to feel a little intimidated as they looked at the students they had to teach.
As little children who were only six years old, all of them had no choice but to shrink in front of people older than themselves.
“Uh, how are you?”
“What do you mean? I have to teach you step by step.”
Next to Elza, who was trembling, Hosea took a deep breath and stepped forward.
“Come on, although we are younger, Hosea will teach you from now on.”
“This is Joshua. And the two older sisters here are called Elza and Liza, respectively.”
At that, Elsa and Liza hesitantly took over their introductions.
“Eh, my name is Elza.”
“Lee, it’s Lisa.”
Hosea and Joshua. Seeing Elza and Liza, the four boys and girls who had come as students looked a little uneasy.
I don’t think it will be used as a wizard’s experiment, but I was worried about how much I could learn in a place like this, but the class started anyway.
“What do you guys think about magic?”
“Shooting fire from your hand?”
“The ability to turn people into frogs?”
“Make a potion!”
“Are you flying in the sky?”
While everyone gave their own answers, Hosea smiled a little awkwardly.
“To be precise, it is a technique that uses the power of mana to ask the world to ‘make such and such a phenomenon happen’. Of course, depending on magic, there is also magic that goes beyond this level and twists the laws of this world through magic to cause phenomena that go against the order of things. But basically, magic is done through dialogue with the world.”
“Like this. I am the one who sees the Good Shepherd. I want a cool breeze to wipe my sweat.”
A light breeze began to blow in the classroom.
“Oh oh”
“It’s really magic…”
Seeing the students’ reactions, Hosea was relieved that he had taken a step, and continued his words.
“As you can see, this is the existing song magic. Some simple magic is very easy, but the world understands differently from us, so it is not always easy to convey words in a way that the world can understand. Magic that uses has become mainstream.”
“And my mother, the headmaster of this magic school and the creator of new magic, created a new magic system. The basic system is better for basic magic, but when you start getting into detailed magic, the story changes.”
At the same time, Hosea and Joshua began to write down rune words representing fire and Yuria-style magic codes on the blackboard.
“Like this, it is possible to express fire only once in the rune language, and with a new magic system, we have to translate it quite like this. Now. But.”
“This rune word fire contains not only the meaning of fire, but also other meanings. So even if it is the same fire, it depends on what kind of fire is needed in magic…”
Hosea wrote runes related to various fires on the board.
“You have to choose and use the runes that mean so much fire or have the meaning of fire.”
“In contrast, in this magic the principal created, fire can be used everywhere with this letter. How hot it is here. To indicate what kind of fire it is, you just need to add more letters at the end.”
“In other words, the more you learn our magic, the more advanced magic you get, the easier it is to shape your magic, and the easier it is to develop your own magic. Above all, by optimizing your magic, it is more stable and powerful with less mana. You can use magic.”
The four children in class looked at Hosea and Joshua, and Elsa and Liza woke up and started preparing for class.
“Now, since the numbers are still the same as the older sisters and us, I will teach you as quickly and deeply as possible 1:1, so let’s learn.”
“Even though we’re worse than Hosea and Joshua, teacher Yuria praised us for learning well, so there shouldn’t be any problem teaching.”
And after the class started like that, Joshua and Hosea groaned and clutched their heads.
In the meantime, I thought Elsa and Liza noona were fools, but they weren’t.
Elsa and Liza were real geniuses, just like their mother said.
It’s just that they were literally on a completely different level in terms of their race, so even Elza and Lisa noona felt like fools, but the four who started teaching today were something that couldn’t even be called fools compared to Elsa and Lisa noona.
“Heh, hehe…”
“Oh, it’s difficult…”
“This, this is magic…”
Kim rose from her hair and looked at the students who were dancing around, Elza Lisa noona tilted her head.
Is this difficult? Do.
And Hosea and Joshua let out a sigh as they redefine the level of ordinary human beings.
It was a board that had to redefine the difficulty of the class from the beginning.
“My younger sister said that the amount that we and my older sister learned was the same as for 10 years, but her younger sister was wrong.”
“Yes. I planned the class assuming that the amount the older sisters learned was 10 years, but it can’t be done. If this is the case, I should set it to 15 years.”
More easily. Release more precisely.
* * * * *
“Oh oh!!”
“As expected, Dwarves!! I never thought there would be a method like this!”
Tondef put on a bitter expression at the blacksmiths’ reaction.
In the first place, he was not a dwarf who had been digging for this side, but these were all skills and knowledge he had learned from Yuria.
The only thing she gained from being a dwarf was her racial traits and her dexterity, so she could handle what Yuria taught her.
This metal smelting method too. Quenching method as well. The welding method and other methods of handling all kinds of metal were all methods that came from Yuria.
In particular, the carriage made by Yuria, which the artisans were interested in, was completely distracted.
“How about it. Can we use this as bait to gather more artisans?”
“Um…”
“What the hell are you trying to gather so many people to make?”
In response, Tondef swish and pointed at the Titan standing in the corner of the workshop.
“That. Of course, that would take 10 years or so to try something unreasonable, but that’s what I’m aiming for in the end. Of course, it’ll be difficult to reproduce that exactly, but I’m aiming for a 100-year-old world. I’m the first human to be a titan, no.”
Wait, what did YuRia say?
“Talos. I will become the first person to develop Talos among non-species humans.”
At that, the artisans said “Oh” And looked at Tondef in admiration.
“Of course, as Talos was created by numerous races of different races using their own organs and after years of research, it must be a very difficult and arduous path for us to make it. “
Glancing at the script Yuria had written, Tondef sighed deeply and opened his mouth.
“So, gather as many people as possible. Because there is no way around this number right now.”
I don’t know if people will gather properly like this, but looking at those rugged human blacksmiths, they seemed to be full of hearts to gather friends, so they seemed to be gathering quite a bit.
However.
I don’t know what to do with educating and training new blacksmiths.
“Oh, and if there are any kids who want to learn blacksmithing, call them all over. Since we are so short on numbers, we have to do everything by hand, right?”
“Hmm, if that’s the case, we’ll look into it.”
“It’s not like cancer”
Looking at such blacksmiths, Tondef sighed.
* * * * *
After entering SimCity for a while, YuRia began to create a water source by adjusting the flow of the river.
In the end, all foundations start with waterworks, so Yuria, who started with the development of water sources, quickly started processing stone materials to build water sources and waterways.
“Is it impossible to redevelop slums right now, and first of all, reconstructing a new city that they can move to?”
This is insane You need to get wood, and not just stone, but you also need a variety of materials.
I could do everything with my head, but it was a bit disappointing because I only had one body.
No matter how much she teleported by herself, used the subspace bag, and played the role of more than a hundred and a thousand people by herself, Yuria felt impatient.
“Let’s not be too impatient. We can do it slowly, one by one.”
Also lay the road. Also build a house Build a building that will become a government office. Following the water supply, we are also preparing to lay the sewage system. Busy busy
But what should I do?
It sure seemed like fun.
It was a strange pleasure to see a city that could be seen even a little bit in this uncivilized city.
That’s why Yuria was even more alert. When she’s like this, she’s bound to get excited and go wild, and then it was an instant to cross the line.
And the moment you cross the line, this world will not look at you and you will destroy yourself right away.
Even though she looks normal on the outside, she has already exceeded her limits in many ways.
If bad things happened to her in the future, she couldn’t guarantee how far she could endure.
But the ordeal that was destined for her was still far away.
Really.
Yuria was so afraid of that.
Although she is also afraid of the inevitable trials that will befall her. She fears that she will no longer be able to endure the ordeal and disappear.
She fears she will do too much harm to Loa and her children.
* * * * *
Time passed quickly, and before we know it, winter has passed and spring has come again, and everyone is getting older one year at a time.
In the meantime, even while Yuria was doing her best, she dutifully completed her new town, and she quickly absorbed people in the slums and started giving them jobs.
Of course, it wasn’t just once or twice that he looked at the very beautiful Yuria, but it was a no-brainer.
There’s no way her YuRia’s ability can be defeated by them. Even if it was just one case, she had no one who could take off Yuria’s suit, so she had virtually no chance for Yuria to do anything bad to her.
Although she was teased several times over her stiff suit, it was not even an open secret to the people of the slum that she was treated badly each time by Yuria, who was hot-tempered.
A terrifying witch who is virtually unwilling to listen to her and would rather die if she did.
But if you don’t touch her, she’s an angel who gives you plenty.
At some point, Yuria started being called by her nickname of Janus in the slums.
In the meantime, the school where Hosea and Elza’s brothers and sisters taught also started to accelerate in learning as they passed the most basic basics.
Sister Elza Liza, who teaches the basics, and Hosea Joshua, who teach their own elementary courses.
Hosea and Joshua pointed to their four older brothers and sisters and pondered when the hell they would go on to middle school and high school.
At this level, the advanced course (university), which even Elza and Lisa sisters had not progressed in yet, was unreasonable.
However, the talents her mother wanted were those who had completed a large number of college courses.
“I don’t think it would be possible to meet the level Mom wants unless it’s really geniuses like Elza or Liza or high-ranking wizards who have already completed the basics.”
“But those wizards are already old and hard-headed, so it’s too much to accept new things.”
Ha…
“At this point, we have no choice but to hurry up and achieve something, so that wizards and talents can flock here.”
“It’s really the egg or the chicken that comes first.”
“Isn’t that right? Without such outstanding mages, results cannot be achieved. Without such achievements, talents or existing mages who can grow into such outstanding mages will not come.”
At that, Hosea and Joshua sighed again.
“Wouldn’t it be better to send the older sisters through the advanced course and go upstairs?”
“…!?”
Momentarily, Hosea and Joshua face each other and become a pair! And held each other’s hands.
“That’s it!!”
After all, there are not many students yet.
Even if there are no older sisters, one of them is the basic basics. If the other one is in charge of the beginner class, there is no problem.
In that case, I’d rather send my older sisters up sooner or…
“Why don’t we just go to the mage tower and teach the older sisters while showing results?”
“Is that so? If it’s the older sisters, it won’t be a problem to teach up to the intermediate level anyway.”
But that plan soon hit a wall.
Right now, the problem was that the process that could be called magic engineering had not reached the stage where it could be grafted.
“What do you mean when you say that blacksmith grandfathers are still at such a low level that they are not at the level that can be combined with magic!!”
“Now that it’s like this, let’s train the older sisters hard.”
“Okay!!”
Because of that wind, out of nowhere, Elza Lisa Kestrel and her sisters’ heads exploded every day.
Normally, the two sisters would have clung to Hosea and Joshua first, but at some point, when they saw only Hosea and Joshua, they were in a hurry to run away with tears in their eyes.
It was impossible for Elza Lisa, who had not yet surpassed her own father’s level, to escape from the clutches of Hosea and Joshua’s brothers, who had already surpassed the level of Cashwyn a long time ago.
So slowly slowly
As the academy grew and developed little by little and the estate of the count family gradually changed, the count was troubled by the unusual atmosphere around him as a count.
The count, who had been nervous about the recent increase in the monsters’ stance, and sighed as he watched the increasing number of documents in response to the frequent monster invasion, felt something strange at one point.
He didn’t even know what was wrong, but he thought he was missing something he shouldn’t have missed.
“This flow…”
The atmosphere was as if the monsters were frantically running away from something.
And in fact, I didn’t know it well at first, but there were a lot of injured monsters among the monsters that invaded like this.
Especially those monsters that looked as if they had been sniped and had part of their body cut off.
At first, there were still a few small villages on the outskirts that were not protected because they were so remote, and they were disappearing one by one, and passing through those villages, I thought they were injured monsters and passed over, but after realizing it again and looking at it like this, it was strange to think it was such a thing.
Rather than saying that he was hit by a person, he looked like he was hit by something else.
What is it that makes the monsters tremble in fear and run away, leaving scars as if they were severed by something?
After thinking about it for a while, the Count came up with a monster.
Giant Ent-type monsters and Mantis-type monsters tended to inflict severe wounds like that.
But among them, which species is capable of making the monsters run away in fear?
“…”
There was only one correct answer.
“Crimson Ant…”
If this were true, it would be a really big deal.
Crimson Ant.
It wasn’t called the Crimson Ant because the color of its shell was red, but it was named so because the spot where the Crimson Ant passed became a sea of blood.
Terrifying ants that eat anything they can chew with their huge jaws, except for their own kind, and endlessly eat everything and their numbers are increasing.
What to do with this, the Count pondered.
As for general weapons, Crimson Ant was unpredictable, and there was no answer other than nurturing powerful magicians in large quantities or using a large amount of powerful quasi-class equipment.
While thinking about how to get something like that, the Count suddenly remembered his daughter who was preparing something like that in his estate.
Academy and Mage Tower. And a huge workshop.
In fact, isn’t it preparation for Crimson Ant’s countermeasures?
“Could YuRia have known about this situation from the beginning?”
If that were the case, it would not have been possible to save as much support as possible from now on.
It had to be prepared for Crimson Ant by actively supporting it as a national project of the territory.
But is it really Crimson Ant?
No, no.
The situation was that the probability of the Crimson Ant reappearing was very high.
Anyway, properly raised academies, magic towers, and workshops are beneficial as territories.
This may be an opportunity to greatly revitalize the territory.
The trouble was short-lived.
The Count rose from his seat and headed towards the construction site in the new town where Yuria was working.
Heading toward the old slums that have now become empty after all the residents have moved.
* * *
“Ah, it’s a little more comfortable now.”
Although it is a wagon worse than the mass-produced model she made as a trial, she finally went into production as a mass-produced new metal wagon, taking out her materials from the sub-space gate, and Yuria tirelessly paved the road and built a building. Went out
Although the subspace was built by Elza and Liza enchanted with the help of their father, Cashwyn, in a warehouse built by the architects of the count family, the quality was not very good, but it was enough to confirm that there was no problem in using it once.
Yuria, who quickly dismantled the slums to pave new roads, repaired water and sewage systems, and built her main offices first, huh? She did and looked somewhere in her.
Yuria stopped what she was doing and greeted the Count at the sight of her father, who had come in her own carriage.
Now, someday, they say they will cut off their ties to each other, but even so, it’s not like they’re going to be very close. Even though he was younger than her own, he was her own father until his dissolution.
“What are you doing?”
“Yuria. Did you know everything from the start?”
“…?”
At the Count’s words, Yuria tilted her head.
Do you know everything
“Um… Could it be that I misunderstood?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Crimson Ant. Wasn’t the reason you built the academy, mage tower, workshop, etc. In preparation for this?”
At those words, YuRia put on a slightly embarrassed expression, but also a very worried expression.
“Is it really?”
“… It seems you didn’t really prepare for the ants. What on earth did you prepare for?”
“…”
Looking at YuRia, the count sighed.
“Anyway, since the situation is like this, I will invest in you with all my might.
“… All right”
Even Yuria did not know that she would become like this.
But Crimson Antrani.
Why couldn’t she see it in the continuation of the example she saw?
Wasn’t the problem of Crea and the Mischief that hindered her own knowledge solved?
“…”
YuRia put on her bitter expression as she looked at Tia, who was soundly asleep in her carriage.
Tiaya, is this really the reason you wanted to take me to the Empire?
