Episode 394
I leaned back in my chair again.
Charlotte was momentarily shocked. But she probably remembers.
When I first accepted Charlotte, I said:
I’m going to ask you a favor later, so please do it. That should be enough.
“Is this what you were talking about back then?”
I laughed. See, I remember.
“uh.”
“… …Can I do it?”
I tapped the guy’s forehead with my hand.
Although she may lack knowledge, she can fill it in. However, Charlotte has already proven herself worthy of becoming the ruler of the Forest of Demons since she killed the Millennium Dragon Machiavelli.
I asked if I could do more than that.
“You are enough for me as I know you.”
Charlotte smiles.
He smiled softly and nodded. Then he got up.
Then he asked me with a long, puzzled expression.
“But, boss.”
“why?”
“I haven’t been sleeping for years, have I?”
What is he talking about all of a sudden?
“I think the boss’s face has changed a bit.”
I guess I can finally see it now.
He lifted his chin and swept it down with his hand.
Sharp jawline.
Perfectly removed baby fat.
Who would see me as a 14 year old kid, no, soon to be 15?
I was now almost in the shape of an adult.
“Have you become more handsome?”
Charlotte paused at the question.
As if he didn’t know what to say.
After making that expression, he reached out with difficulty and hugged me.
I didn’t know this before, but I’m about 183cm tall now.
My legs and upper body grew longer, so my sitting height also grew considerably.
Maybe that’s why our Charlotte looks so small.
The guy hugged my neck and spoke softly.

“thank you.”
I asked him if he was handsome, and he said thank you.
I just smiled faintly.
He didn’t say anything, but when I looked at our teacher’s expression in the mirror, I saw that he had a really sad expression on his face.
And I can see Charlotte’s face reflected in those eyes.
The guy also had a similar expression on his face as his teacher.
I just didn’t care.
Oh, before that.
“Can you get up?”
Charlotte pulled away and lay back down on the bed with a thousand different expressions on her face.
“… … I think it’ll be difficult.”
It looks like that at first glance.
“I tried to go get some loot, but it didn’t work.”
“Loot?”
Charlotte asked curiously, and the Master just smiled as if he had already guessed.
When I first met Menama, he and I had this conversation:
Who wouldn’t covet something made by a dwarf, but wouldn’t steal it, he’s not that bad of a scoundrel.
But I’ve been through all this trouble, so I should take something with me.
The rarest of dragons.
I didn’t think about bringing back the Lords’ rares because they were all lost to the sea at that time, but I have to bring this.
There are all kinds of weapons, decorations, and a ton of gold there, including elixirs.
“Then take a rest.”
“Are you going to go and come back?”
He shook his head.
“I’m going to go straight to the continent as soon as I get there.”
Before that.
I took two small rings out of my bosom and handed them to Charlotte.
“What is it?”
It was a small ring made of gold, but of course it was not a simple ring.
“An artifact engraved with teleportation magic.”
Charlotte, who had a quick eye, stared at the ring for a moment, then opened her eyes wide.
“It wasn’t engraved with mana, was it?”

“of course.”
It is an artifact made from soul, not mana.
I made them little by little whenever I had time, and I currently have five rings in my possession.

“But why two?”
“The cell will be here soon.”
Charlotte nodded as if she noticed.
The reason I made this ring is simple.
To give to those who might be my weaknesses.
As soon as you infuse mana into this ring, it teleports you to my location.
The range is from one end of this continent to the other, and the number of people is all living things within a 50m radius.
It’s disposable, but it’s still something to be concerned about.
To this extent, it is a rare artifact.
I just stood up from my seat.
“You rest here for a bit and then come back slowly. You just have to come before school starts. Rest comfortably.”
Charlotte spoke softly, her expression slightly sullen.
“Have a nice trip, boss.”
I’m going to go and visit Rare and then go straight to Ascension.
And then we’ll go straight to Tulcan.
He smiled without showing it.
“Okay.”
I winked at Sachsen and Ken before leaving the room.
Saxon stood up as if he had been waiting, and Ken, who had been escorting Charlotte here, stood up vigorously as if his body was shaking.
Now, let’s go dig up some rares.
* * *
Luca Machiavelli’s Lair was located on Mount Bagal near the Dwarven Kingdom.
Should I say that it is a familiar red dragon?
Bagalsan is a volcano that is still active today.
It is a volcano, as geologists call it, and is 655 meters above sea level.
Luca Machiavelli’s lair was located just 10 meters from the lava lake there.
I couldn’t help but say that it was truly in bad taste.
The reason why this is in bad taste is because
It was hot.
If you’ve reached the level of a master and are able to maintain your body temperature at an unprecedented level, but still feel hot, then that says it all.
This is the reason why the dwarves dispatched here die every day.
Even for a race that is familiar with fire, this is going too far.
Aside from that, the huge castle in front of us was showing off its awesome grandeur.
There were four large buildings, each shaped like a peak, and the central spire-shaped castle was about 400 meters high.
[A dwarf is definitely a dwarf.]
The Master’s exclamation rang in our ears.
Advertisements
This castle, facing the lava lake straight ahead, was certainly beautiful.
“Shall we come in?”
[To get the loot?]
“Yes. To get the loot.”
As a side note, I’ve never actually seen the inside of this castle before, even though I’ve seen it buried in a lava bed with devastating fire from afar.
So I wasn’t sure what it would be, but I was sure there would be something worth paying for.
After entering inside, I searched.
A huge amount of art and craftwork visible from the entrance.
I gave a quick glance to Saxon and Ken.
Gather everything that could be worth money and place it in the center of the living room.
The two of them started to move, and my master and I moved to a more private place.
I don’t know much about Luca Machiavelli, but I’m sure he likes lava so much that he built a lair on the side of a lava lake.
I saw it from afar, and there was some kind of observatory on the top spire.
As soon as we got there, my teacher and I exchanged glances.
oh my god.
There were parasols made of adamantium, and sunbeds made of mithril.
Isn’t this guy crazy?
This was a passage that showed how much the dwarves had been exploited, but the reason my master and I exchanged glances was not because of these things.
A small crystal ball placed on one side of the parasol.
I picked it up.
And breathed mana into it.
Then, to my senses, I caught sight of dozens of golems.
A kind of link that feels like having a Death Knight.
[This is real.]
For now, I didn’t answer and just sent my thoughts to the correction ball.
entire.
Gather together.
It was a moment.
Kugu-gung-!
The volcano split apart, and a volcanic vent began to form there.
The dragon tooth disease that Charlotte cut.
Life forms similar to it begin to appear one by one.
It poured out continuously.
The circles were all regular.
8 circle mana user.
Sachsen and Ken, who had gathered all the valuable items in the lobby on the first floor, quickly ran outside.
“What… … hey, this is.”
Advertisements
“… … That dragon was retarded.”
The exact number is 100.
A whopping hundred dragon soldiers were lined up, waiting for my command.
Simply put, this crystal ball in my hand is a controller.
A controller that can issue commands to the dragon soldiers.
I don’t know about the other dragons, but I think the rest of the dragons might have dragon teeth too.
As soon as I saw this, a very novel idea occurred to me.
A novel idea that will make you laugh.
[Again, you’re having bad thoughts.]
“Why are you so upset? I have never had a bad thought in my life.”
[What a surprise.]
He shrugged.
Chapter 5
After turning Luca Machiavelli’s rare, we also cleared out all the remaining rares.
Those rare buildings, each of which was luxurious to the core and had its own unique environment, were good enough to be used as villas, but that was it.
I didn’t have it.
Knowing roughly how many dwarves were sacrificed there, I couldn’t bring myself to destroy the building with my own hands.
The place we are now is the Green Dragon’s Lair.
It’s the last rare.
Coming this far, we were able to discover a great deal.
First of all, basically finished jewels and artwork, greatswords, swords, longswords, bows, arrows, mithril ore weighing over 300kg that would make dwarves dazzle, and top-grade potions.
etc.
Everything was fine, but this was the one that was really good.
It’s Yong-a-byeong.
100 of each rare and 1 crystal ball to control those 100.
So, a total of 500 dragon teeth and 5 crystal balls.
Now that I think about it, maybe these dragons made a bet with each other or something.
Otherwise, there’s no way they would have prepared a dragon’s tooth bottle just for 100 of them.
Since these guys have been doing all sorts of things here, it wasn’t surprising.
Anyway, this dragon tooth bottle was a really good loot, in my opinion, incomparable to the numerous treasures mentioned above.
Golem.
They are a kind of servant horse, and although they cannot speak, they can listen and write.
Not only that, but it can also serve as a combat force, as demonstrated in the fight between Charlotte and Luca.
Although weak, he is still an 8-circle mana user.
That’s a whopping 500 units.
[Look at that, anyone who sees it can tell that it is the expression of someone with bad thoughts.]
A little distance away from me, the Master was speaking to Sachsen and Ken.
The two laughed awkwardly, and for the moment, I didn’t care.
Advertisements
Yeah, bad idea.
That could be true.
This should have been mentioned before: wiretapping.
This is really strange.
First of all, the people in charge of wiretapping are anonymous members of an organization.
The guy reports that the Surveillance Department is in charge of this, and the Surveillance Department currently has a total of 400 people. Plus, 33 Death Knights are managing the communication ports that have flowed into various parts of the country.
The place they are wiretapping is the basement of the Academy’s Department of Information.
And honestly, I’m not an idiot and I wouldn’t have entrusted wiretapping to anonymous members of the surveillance department without taking any action.
The entrance to that basement has several black magic engraved on it, and there are many different types.
If you just get to the core, it’s a magic spell.
As soon as they enter, the anonymous members are fascinated and, under the Death Knight’s command, are placed in crystal spheres and typewrite all the voices they hear. Even if the anonymous members are my private organization, the more people know about it, the more they can leak out, and you never know when or how.
There was a need to be careful.
Of course, not everyone falls for the magic spell.
There are people who made and handed over several artifacts that gave immunity, Aveiro, and the informant named Philip who brought him with him when he first came under me, and an unknown member of the organization named Lagrem.
These three are the only humans immune to dark magic, and they and the Death Knight are in charge of all information.
Okay, let’s see.
The five hundred golems right before your eyes.
It was a created being, and naturally it moves with mana.
Since it moves with mana, it naturally has a mana circuit.
It is a mana circuit created by a thousand-year-old dragon with great magical knowledge.
I don’t have an ego, but what’s the big deal?
A soldier who carries out all orders, fights if told to fight, and dies if told to die.
Death Knight without an ego.
What if we put a high-level language interpretation magic circle on that kind of dragonfly?
Golem’s lifespan?
If the magic circle is properly maintained over several decades or centuries, it can exist forever.
Also, since there is no perfect intelligence like an intelligent being, it can judge everything from an objective standpoint.
500 golems that can write down everything they see and hear.
Actually, I had thought about making a golem before, but I didn’t do it.
Because I was running out of time.
But then five hundred golems rolled in.
Is that all?
“By just infusing 1 circle of mana, you can command over 100 dragon teeth soldiers, that is, high-circle mana users… … .”
