327 – Dreams Come True (1)
After suffering a shameful death that was not a shameful death, I became free. The first thing I did when I became free was one thing.
Going to see Jane, whom I have not heard from before. There is no news from her, but Jane must have survived the collapse of her academy.
She said Jane wasn’t there even when she investigated the casualties right after the Academy collapsed. First of all, there were definitely no deaths.
When she headed to the Olympus Mountains, she did not say anything, but it is highly likely that Ellie told her.
Now, I am visiting for the first time in a long time to see each other and check the progress.
‘It must have slowly entered the completion stage now.’
If she hadn’t had any support she would have taken another year. It was probably completed in Santia.
However, if that happens, all research results and inventions will be taken away as if they were stolen with open eyes.
Through that opportunity, you truly become corrupted and go over to the devil. Rather, the devils made good use of Jane’s talents.
‘If you look at things like this, humans are just as good as devils.’
Lie said. Because human greed is endless, they even ripped off their own wings.
Humans have no wings. However, he made his own wings and came to dominate the high heavens.
Looking back, Lie said a lot of meaningful things. It’s something that can’t just be ignored.
Moreover, even Rize, who spoke informally and cursed at the hero, treated Liege with respect.
‘It’s quiet today.’
She had almost arrived at Jane’s workshop. Perhaps because it was vacation, there was no characteristic hammering sound.
Are you taking a break today? With that in mind, I slowly opened the door.
Since the door opens smoothly, it is clear that it is inside.
-Weeeing!
“Huh?”
As soon as I opened the door, a noise entered my ears. I looked ahead with a questioning expression.
I looked ahead and saw something like a cannon aiming at me. The fact that the cannon shines is a bonus.
– Kwaang!!
“Khutteng?!”
As soon as the light was fired from the cannon, a huge shock hit my abdomen. It was so fast that I couldn’t react.
The force was so strong that he was pushed back and ended up hitting the wall. Fortunately, it didn’t break through the wall or anything like that.
“Agogo…”
“Huh, huh? Sivar, Mr.?!”
While I was staggering and clutching my stomach, a familiar voice caught my ear. It looks like he was very surprised.
When she raised her head, Jane, looking somewhat scruffy, was running towards her. Clothing is also work attire.
“Gwae, are you okay?! I had no idea it would come so suddenly! I’m sorry!”
“No. It’s okay. But what did you just do?”
The feeling of confusion is greater than the pain. Even if you get hit by a real cannon, it won’t look like this.
He would have at least seen the cannon’s shells and avoided or blocked them. But I couldn’t.
Although it was a completely unexpected situation, the speed was quite fast.
“I was making toys because I was bored.”
“Toy?”
“Yes. Rather than a toy, it’s a little bit of leftover investment… Hehe.”
Jane scratched her head as if embarrassed. The investment may not be that large.
Normally, I would have been scolded harshly for making something strange, but since I was Jane, I just ignored it. I wonder what they made.
“I’d like to check first. What on earth is this?”
“Would you like to take a look?”
Jane said, her eyes sparkling. The sparkle in her eyes she stood out even more because she was in such a messy state.
I followed her and checked the object that hit her in the abdomen. First of all, it looks like a miniature version of a cannon.
It’s too big to be called a gun, and a little too small to be called a cannon. If we were to compare it to the Earth, it would feel roughly like a grenade launcher.
“Is this it?”
“Yes! You can think of it as a separate part from the original production!”
Jane began to describe in detail the items she had invented. I listened quietly to her explanation
The cannons of this world are of little use except in siege warfare. Moreover, since there is even magic, it is virtually gone.
Still, we are constantly developing it in the name of saving magic attribute, but it is far from sufficient.
“This weapon is also more portable than a siege weapon. It is a weapon that helps replace simple magical power with firepower.”
“Is it a portable cannon?”
“Yes. Not only knights but also ordinary soldiers can easily use it!”
“Um…”
After hearing the explanation, I heard something similar to a cannon, or more accurately, a grenade launcher.
In this world, scientific development is slow due to the presence of magic and magic. For Santiago, the steam engine is the end.
However, Jane invented a weapon that far surpassed that. She is a long fantasy, but Jane feels like she is filming science fiction alone.
‘But this is somewhere…’
I think I saw it. I scratched my chin and took a closer look at the weapon.
It wasn’t long before I realized where I had seen it, and this was a weapon invented by future Jane.
To be exact, it was invented by Jane, who went over to the devil’s side. A weapon that elevates demons and monsters to a level close to the worst.
Goblins and orcs are not scary. However, goblins with guns and orcs with grenade launchers are extremely vicious.
‘That’s really… Wow…’
It’s scary to even imagine. Someone once said this.
A gun is a weapon that can kill even a child. Jane’s invention is similar.
No matter how strong a person is, if there is a hole in his head, he will die.
“Where did you get your inspiration?”
“I made it based on what Mr. Shibar told me before. You know something that just flies out of your hands like this?”
Jane pretended to stretch his arms with an excited expression. I think I know roughly what it is.
Is that barely enough? I wanted to, but considering Jane’s talent of hers, it’s not impossible.
The desperation and venom have disappeared, but you can say that your mind has become more relaxed. Usually, when I have free time, I think about other things.
“And the last time the academy was in chaos, a monster came into my workshop.”
“Monster? “This is a remote place?”
“Yes. But he came. At first, I was surprised. But!”
Jane emphasized the last word and walked somewhere. Then she came out with something on her arm.
In terms of appearance alone, it really looked like something out of a movie. However, it was not slim and felt a bit bulky.
There was a hole in the center of the palm of her, probably energy coming out from there.
“I was able to catch a monster with this. Originally, I thought it would be a flight control device, but it turned out to be surprisingly powerful.”
“Hmm. It will come out.”
“So! This is why I made this. With this, even ordinary people will be able to deal with monsters!”
Jane’s hope circuit and logic continued. It’s roughly a story related to the structure of this world.
The further away you are from the capital or city, the more vulnerable you become to security issues, especially the threat of monsters.
However, with this weapon, even vigilante-level personnel will be fully effective, and casualties will be reduced.
‘Instead, it will be used for war.’
It has been that way since ancient times, and history proves it. Anything that is powerful will definitely be used in war.
The good news among the misfortunes is that mass production is impossible. Also, only Jane can make it.
Although there is a blueprint, her invention absolutely requires magic stones.
Jane said she invented a product that can replace magic stones, but magic stones will be used more right now.
“How much power is it? I flew very far just now.”
“That just increased the impact. Professor Godin taught me good magic theory. Check this out.”
I looked at the area she pointed to. There was a small adjustment range to see if there was an adjustment function.
Since it was not the language of Santia but the official language, I was able to see the letters. Roughly speaking, they are penetration, explosion, impact, and safety.
Considering that there are as many as four devices, it seems that the performance is worse than it looks. What on earth did you make?
“Ah! By the way, the performance itself is modeled after Mr. Sibar!”
“Me?”
“Yes! Mr. Sivar shot the red magic power! I did my best after seeing the enormous penetrating and explosive power!”
Jane explains as if she is proud. I became a little nervous when I saw her like that.
Of course, it would be far from enough to match the power of red magic. Still, it looks like it was made in a similar way.
“Have you decided on a name for this?”
“No. Do you have something in mind?”
“Not a grenade… But a magic bullet launcher?”
“Magic Launcher! What a great name!”
While Jane was in a trance, I took a closer look at the magic bullet launcher. It’s a long cannon, but it’s uncomfortable to operate.
He once served in the military. I looked around and came up with a lot of advice.
“Isn’t there a trigger for this? I made it down here…”
“Yes yes! Is there anything else?”
“How bad is the recoil?”
“I can handle it too!”
A weapon that can handle even the weak Jane. However, the power far exceeded imagination.
I think it should only be used for self-defense if possible. It would be a good idea to give one to Ellie as well as Jane.
It can be used as a very good weapon for non-combat positions. It is said that this has been taken over to the devil and mass-produced…
‘Wow. It’s terrible.’
Anyway, let’s skip this and the most important thing remains.
I asked Jane after telling her about the trigger and the buttstock that was easy to attach to her shoulder.
“What about that? Have you made the steel suit?”
“Huhuhuhu…”
Jane laughed evilly at my question. However, due to his scruffy appearance, he gave off a feeling of being like a bingo rather than being evil.
Finally, she raised her flowing glasses and shouted in a confident voice.
“Of course! I especially used it briefly when monsters invaded the academy!”
“Oh. How’s the performance?”
“I dare say it’s a masterpiece!”
“Let’s go quickly.”
“Yes!”
The moment when Jane takes her steps with a powerful cry.
-Cow!
Jane fell down.
“······?”
What is it?
*****
It was around the time when Sibar was panicking over Jane’s fallen.
Since it was still vacation, Rod was taking a comfortable rest, but it wasn’t all that comfortable.
Among the new students to come, we had to determine who we should pay attention to. Fortunately, there is no one who stands out among the new students.
‘Is she at least the princess of Frozen?’
Rod took a sip of tea and looked at the list. I heard about Frozen’s princess, Raina, through Sarah.
It’s difficult to communicate because he hasn’t completely mastered the common language yet, but other than that, he has a tolerant and passionate personality.
Although Frozen is cold and cold, her princess personality is as hot as fire. In other words, she is a babbler.
‘There will be fewer accidents than Sivar.’
The standard of the road is always Sivar. As long as you don’t end up in all kinds of weird accidents like Shivar, it’s over.
Is it because of that? Strangely enough, I felt anxious. The quieter it is, the more anxious I feel.
And this feeling has a fairly high hit rate. Rod took his eyes off the list and opened his mouth.
“Student Ellie.”
“Yes?”
Ellie has now become a de facto personal assistant. Ellie turned her head to Rod’s call.
“Do you know where Sivar is right now?”
“Um… I don’t know?”
Ellie responded to Rod’s words by tilting her head.
“Wouldn’t it be awkward if something fell from the sky later?”
“··· ···”
I was speechless because I described Shivar so accurately.
