Chapter 953 – The Blue of the Stars Is the Blue of the Sea (2)
***
The island of Ikibn, an ancient island in the South Sea.
That was the official name of the island we used to call ‘corpse island’.
“Kanesh had a record. A place that doubles as a supply base and grows abundant natural mana with a mana generating device. That was the identity of this iKeven Island.”
Asherard, who had secured a
“This is Prototype No. 1. We obtained intact parts from artifacts on Ikiven Island, and completed them with Kanesh’s documentary heritage and the cooperation of Countess Veronica.”
“You made use of an abandoned coastal base.”
“Because the ground was weak, we are building the foundation with magic.”
“What is the fee?”
“It can be recovered at my own expense. Not yet.”
Archeology in another world is like space engineering with developed technology.
It’s an interesting metaphor considering that it was the offspring of the stars who erased the history of mankind, which is no different from aliens, but anyway, the archeology society can’t be poor.
“Because research in another dimension, the other world, won’t be of any financial gain.”
I even mobilized my clairvoyant to confirm that there were no researchers other than Asherad. You may not have noticed that fact, but Asherard nodded.
“I know. So, as you said, we are proceeding in the utmost secrecy from now on. Excluding the Count’s family and some bicorns, those who know the existence of the dimension shifter can be counted on one hand.”
“Is it okay that the president of the school got out?”
“It’s all about getting a little bit of swearing.”
Now that the mainstream of the society is focused on the Hittites, Ashelad, who is in charge of the Hittites, is focusing on dimensional magic research rather than excavation of artifacts.
It is clear how burdensome it is in terms of location.
“But that doesn’t matter. Yes? Delta.”
“Yes.”
Delta, which joined the research after breaking the success story relayed by Asherard, affirmed. I nodded my head in agreement.
“Yes Yes! Question! Are we called to be initiates?”
Lalilura raised her hand and asked.
Today, she and I, Veronica, visited as a trio. I didn’t even bring other wives. It is a composition of members who can escape the anomaly of the dimension on their own in case of emergency.
Tirshi is also possible, but I am currently in Bangkok.
Besides, at least one person should be somewhere else to be safe in case of emergency. To make opening and closing the door easy, shouldn’t the doorknob be attached to the inside and outside?
“As an observer, it is true that I asked the intention of attending, but I have something else to discuss. There are also some issues I would like to ask for.”
Asherard answered half positively and half negatively.
“The most important piece of the low-dimensional search/connection device, tentatively named ‘Space Lighthouse’, is the old tree of the Quartgonia continent. I processed raw trees with high mana resistance.”
“You mean the skeleton of the device is alive?”
“Yes. However, if the power source is ignited, it will self-destruct.”
Delta, which I mentioned, smiled bitterly as if they saw my expression saying, “Then it’s incomplete, fuck you.” It had only been a few months, but it seemed like 10 years old.
It wasn’t just because of the punishment from the academic society, he didn’t even know that he had so much time to blame himself. Well, that’s what life is all about, isn’t it?
It seems that my mind has expanded quite a bit to blame the misbehavior that was just bad luck.
“You mean the device runs out of control and breaks down by itself? But since you’re calling, is this a problem we can solve?”
Said Lari Lura, who cared about returning to Earth from her personal interests and her heart for her husband. It’s a flaw that I don’t know it in theory, so it’s not very helpful for experiments.
“Okay. The Mage Guild offered to cooperate in interpretation and research if you share the device’s data. It may be a ulterior motive to only eat sweets, but we also have something to gain.”
“Accelerating the pace of research and development.”
“And the success rate.”
Asherard, who seemed more impatient than I remembered, controlled his mind and spoke more slowly than usual.
“Is it 10 years? Or 20 years? I don’t know if I can’t fill 30 years. Yes. The day I will live in the future. Will this device be completed before I am old and ill and unable to continue my research?”
“It has to be done.”
“… Whoops, yes. So, we are considering collaborating with the wizard guild. This is what counseling is all about, and the issue you want to ask for is also an extension of this counseling.”
With a slight smile, she showed me her research data.
“It is all thanks to you that we have reached the stage where we can conduct experiments in three months. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s a miracle. I feel sorry for the scholarly subject, but I want to ask for one more miracle.”
“Aha. You want the skeleton to recover until the device stabilizes.”
“… Did I write in the letter?”
“I know at a glance.”
I quickly checked the data and took out the Fairy King’s wand from inside the medallion.
I didn’t take it out openly, but tucked it into my clothes.
“Atlantis showed me growing and controlling plants. I’ll be able to restore even special wood as long as it’s alive. Let’s do it right away.”
“Uh, um… Ah yes! Thank you!”
As the conversation went on and on, Asherard, who was surprised, soon calmed down and gave instructions.
After we watched for over 10 minutes, the device was quickly imbued with mana.
It’s a beta test of the dimension shifter.
‘Actually, I do have some wishes for it to fail.’
I turned a blind eye to what I couldn’t bear to say.
‘It’s because the two worlds that have developed completely differently even though they have the same root are suddenly connected. I can’t imagine how long and chaotic it will be.’
The United States will be surprised, China will be jealous, and Japan will be angry even if the space between Korean apartment neighbors is connected. But are the two completely different worlds connected?
‘If that happens, I’ll be busy dealing with that problem for the rest of my life.’
It’s different from before, when I just wanted to go home.
More successful than then and having a family? No. Didn’t you talk about that with your wives after you were resurrected from the underworld? It was after that that the premise changed.
The ‘lord of the deep sea’ hidden on Earth.
A dimensional shield that protects the world. I can’t get through it
And the fact that Asherad’s son is on Earth.
If you connect the newly found facts, honestly, I don’t see the need to seek a return now.
Rather than that, I think it shouldn’t be done.
‘When the earth and the other world are connected, the world becomes chaotic. Even if people pass by for a while, the dimensional barrier will be maintained, but I don’t know when it will be destroyed in that uncontrolled neglect.’
When human society is in chaos, my wisdom is sealed.
As soon as the dimensional shield collapses, Satis and the other gods will resume the sequel to Ragnarok to defeat the ‘Lord of the Deep’.
‘In other words—— directly connecting the earth and the dimension is something that shouldn’t be done.’
At least it was something that shouldn’t have been hit right away without any countermeasures.
‘It’s still fine as long as I send a letter or bring one or two people.’
However, this technology must never be commercialized or leaked to the outside world.
If Asherad’s son hadn’t been on Earth, if the Lord of the Deeps hadn’t been on Earth, there wouldn’t have been much of a problem.
Both are a problem on Earth, damn it.
‘Even if I tell them not to, there’s no way a parent who has lost a child will stop.’
Even I, an unfilial child, have such a strong desire to see my parents, would parents who have lost a child give up their son’s life just because they say something?
It can also be a way to reveal all the circumstances.
But will you give up to tell the truth? Really?
I do not know. Maybe not.
I trust Asherard, but I didn’t trust him that much.
To the point where I left the future of the whole world and my family up to her discretion.
‘Even if I stop them from doing it, I don’t know when or where they’ll secretly do something similar.’
She is a smart person If they knew I objected—even if they tricked me—if they wanted to continue the experiment, they would pretend they understood everything and work behind the scenes.
If the position is reversed and our wives have been abandoned somewhere in the dimensional gap for over 10 years, I would definitely want to do the same.
There are similar cases in the history of both worlds and Earth. In other words, a cataclysmic event occurs when the seed is not excluded the moment it is sensed and is left unattended because of affection.
However, the “Exclusion” Here refers to Tosa Gupaeng. It means harming Ashelad before things get big.
If you’re looking for the surest way, there’s no other way.
“… Puhhh.”
But I snorted.
‘Tosagupaeng? Don’t give a damn.’
Do you kill an innocent person saying that things are going to get bigger and that if you are not persuaded, you will be screwed? It’s bullshit.
Then the offspring of the stars will say, ‘Why did we tremble so what we’ve been so boring?’
‘If there’s no answer, I’ll have to think of another way.’
If the experiment succeeds, there is a high probability that the world will be ruined.
In order to mobilize a 100% sure method, you need to put the blood of parents who have lost their children on your hands.
1 and 2 times. Yes or no.
I’m a noob to both.
‘It’s better to control the problem from where I see it.’
I thought to see if Asherad’s son was alive, and if I was lucky enough to still be alive, he would contact me and ask if he would come back, and bring him.
In the meantime, it would have been wiser for me to just send a letter to my parents and be done with it.
Because I deliberately reduced the number of researchers to finish my line.
─Pajijijik!!
It was when I was alone with my eyes half-opened. As if the dimension shifting device had finally activated, sparks that were dazzling enough to be noticed even under the sun burst out.
“Count! It is now!”
“Yeah.”
He stretched out his arm and activated the wand in his bosom.
Coo coo coo coo… !! Vibration like shaking the ground!
However, the device remains undestroyed and has undergone a stabilization process. As the vibration subsided little by little, all we could see was a rainbow-colored gate.
“… Is it a success?”
Asherard spoke to himself as if praying.
A few minutes of silence, like a minute equals an hour!
─Food Duck!
A single pigeon broke through the silence and flew from the gate.
The pigeon clapped noisily and landed on the ground as if tired. Delta ran out like lightning and caught the bird. He said stunned.
“… It’s a dove, president. Very ordinary.”
“… It is a failure.”
Asherard, visibly despondent, shook his head.
“I’m sorry, Count. The device is failing. It is only connected to another continent, let alone another dimension. It seems that the coordinates are completely wrong.”
“It’s still just the first try.”
“If the coordinates are wrong, it means that the theory behind the design is all wrong. There is no point in continuing further experiments. We will review it at the design level.”
“If so. What about the device?”
“Can I leave you here for a while? Little… You are tired.”
“All right. You have suffered a lot. Just rest.”
I let her go by pulling her chin. Her Delta Saga supported her.
“The president of the school.”
“Let’s go. I want to drink a little today.”
She and Delta used the artifact and disappeared from Ikiven Island.
“… Dear.”
After they left, Veronica said. She caught the dove that was trying to escape and put it to sleep with her magic.
“Yes. A thousand words are worth seeing.”
I shook my head and splashed Naunet’s mud on the dove.
The mud sees the dove and brings back the past.
Paang-! Bread—!
Woo woo woo woo woo-!
A memory image extracted by Veronica, whose horns and eyes glow.
On that hologram-like screen, a few cars and planes were flying around. The signs in English are unnecessarily nostalgic and impressive.
Anyone can see that it was aviation.
If my old reasoning is correct, it’s probably somewhere in the UK or Europe. I couldn’t stop and laughed out loud.
“As expected, the president of the school. Elites are different no matter what.”
Great success on the first try, isn’t it too competent?
