Episode 169 Let’s do our best! (3)
“Hahahaha!”
Galvarik laughed out loud. He found Giselle’s confident speech both cute and funny.
“Look here, my lord. You are still young and don’t know much, but a concept without a blueprint is nothing more than a delusion. The same goes for something that is difficult to use even if it is implemented.”
The other dwarves also laughed at Galvarik’s words.
“That’s right, nobles only wish for more without really knowing anything.”
“Some nobles even asked me to make a tool to extract the medicinal properties of herbs. I told them to just buy potions and use them. Am I some kind of alchemist?”
“The lord of the place I was in asked if there was a way to expand the area of residence since the land was small. No, what kind of god am I? How can I expand the land?”
“There was even a noble who asked for a plow that could be moved by magic to increase the harvest. No, what’s the point of making something like that? The land and seeds are in bad shape to begin with.”
The dwarves clicked their tongues, looking down on the nobles they had encountered before.
Galvarik looked back at Giselle and shrugged.
“We hate making useless things. I don’t know what the Lord had in mind, but at best it’s a toy.”
As Galvarik finished speaking, a heavy silence fell over the surroundings.
Everyone just blinked and looked at Galvarik.
“… … Cough.”
There was no sound except for the muffled cough of one of the knights.
Galvarik looked around, slightly bewildered by the inexplicable reaction.
“What, why? Why is everyone looking at me like that? Do you think what I’m saying is weird? Oh, this place is really weird.”
Jiselle snickered at the sight of such a galvanic.
“Is it because you’ve lived with humans for too long? You talk about being a craftsman and having an artistic spirit, but your way of thinking is more closed off than that of a human. Can you create a work of art with that kind of imagination?”
“What?”
“Well, I understand. If you do the same thing every day, you will unconsciously think of that as your limit.”
“What are you talking about… … .”
“But then, isn’t that just him being a skilled technician?”
“How dare you insult us!”
The dwarves were furious. No other race could match their technology.
Isn’t that why, even though they are slaves, no one can treat them carelessly?
But the young lord in front of them was genuinely making fun of them.
“Shut up, you guys! I’m the leader!”
Galvarik, who had put the dwarves to sleep with a loud noise, glared at Giselle and said.
“Don’t hurt our pride. It won’t do any good for the lord.”
In reality, dwarves were a very proud race.
Although he had no choice but to accept his status as a slave, he would never accept low treatment.
‘If you want to get any useful weapons, you’ll have to change your attitude towards us.’
Ignoring the dwarves’ sharp gazes, Giselle snapped her fingers and spoke.
“Come follow me, I’ll show you something fun.”
The dwarves, who had missed the timing to get angry, hesitated and followed Giselle.
The place Jiselle took them to was a huge workshop.
“This is… … !”
The dwarves who arrived at the workshop looked around in wonder.
The air was filled with the scent of incense and herbs.
Among the huge machines that filled the workshop, people wearing white overalls and masks were moving busily.
“It’s a workshop that makes cosmetics. To be exact, it’s a skin care cream.”
“cosmetics?”
The dwarves tilted their heads at Giselle’s words.
I know what cosmetics are. They are a type of luxury item that nobles spend more money on than their meals.
How is it that such a high-end product is being produced in such a rural estate?
Giselle continued her explanation to the puzzled dwarves.
“Our territory’s cosmetics are considered the best in the kingdom. They’re selling like hotcakes in the capital right now. We bought you with those huge sales.”
“What… … Are you showing off how much money you have?”
“huh.”
“… … .”
“Tsk tsk, your head is completely stiff. Look carefully. I’ll show you how to make cosmetics using those tools. It’s a secret, but I’ll show you something special.”
Only then did the dwarves come to their senses and begin to carefully examine the inside of the workshop.
The faces of the dwarves who had been looking at the cosmetics equipment for a long time gradually turned pale. Some of them even trembled.
“Oh, how did you come up with that idea?”
“It really brings out the amazing effects of herbs!”
“Was this really possible?”
Dwarves are a race that is comparable to gods when it comes to crafting.
Just a quick look at the equipment would give me a quick idea of what it was used for and what effect it had.
The role of the magic circles carved here and there could also be inferred from the structure of the equipment.
Because while working under the nobles, I also had a lot of experience working with magicians.
The excited dwarves soon gathered together and began to discuss.
“Indeed, if you apply heat like this in an instant, you can make a concentrate while minimizing the side effects of destroying the active ingredients. Are you processing the impurities separately?”
“The filter is a bit disappointing. It would be more effective if the holes were made narrower and there were more holes.”
“So this is how you make this kind of formulation by instantaneously cooling it here! The equipment is crude, but the idea is really beautiful!”
The dwarves, whose faces were flushed red and who were talking, simultaneously looked at Giselle and shouted.
“No, is there really such a thing?”

“Who! Who came up with this idea!”
“Please let me meet you! Let me meet the genius who created this! Is he in this realm?”
In the midst of the hot heat created by the dwarves’ sincerity, Giselle pointed at herself with her thumb.
Galvarik opened his eyes wide and stammered.
“The lord… …made this?”
“Yes, it came right out of this body’s head.”
It’s not a lie. It’s knowledge copied from the future, but it did come out of Giselle’s head.
The dwarves were completely convinced by his confident attitude.
Several of the dwarves spoke urgently with the aforementioned faces.
“Here, let me improve this!”
“With just a little bit of work, we can improve it to be several times more efficient than it is now!”
“My lord! Just looking at it makes me feel like I’m going crazy! Please!”
The dwarves were frustrated. Why was it that someone with such brilliant ideas was satisfied with such a thing as this?
Looking at the dwarves who were full of enthusiasm, Giselle nodded in satisfaction.
“Now your head is turning a little. These are very good positions. Does that mean we can increase production even more than now?”
“Then! Just leave it to me! I’ll make sure you get at least double the amount!”
“But… … . It seems like there are still some people who don’t feel like working.”
Not everyone bowed down to their pride.
About half of the dwarves, including Galvarik, still stood stiffly.
Although they were secretly impressed by the facilities in the workshop, they did not want to lose in a fight with the lord.
Jiselle looked at them, snickered, and snapped her fingers again.
“Come with me, I’ll show you something else.”
The place that Jiselle led them to was a recently built apartment complex.
A few dwarves who were interested in architecture started to look around and get excited.
“No, there really is a house like this?”
“Wow, I thought that! It’s not just a simple tower block house.”
Today’s apartment complexes do not contain any particularly advanced technology. They simply twist the stereotypes that come to mind when we think of the word “home.”
They started discussing the house again.
“Wouldn’t it be better if this part was made of marble? It would be durable and artistic… … .”
“Rather than using a fireplace for heating, change the interior materials so that the heat can spread throughout… … .”
“The drain pipe can be changed in a better way than this!”
The dwarves were beginning to feel a surge of inspiration that they had long since forgotten.
This is it, this kind of stimulation was needed.
They were having a heated discussion and then looked at Giselle and shouted.
“Please help us improve this further!”
There was no way to stop the dwarves whose eyes had already turned.
Galvarik asked, stammering.
“Is this also what the lord thought?”
“Then, that’s what this body was made of.”
“What the heck is going on in your head… … .”
What surprises them is not the technology itself. What matters is that imagination has been put into practice.
That’s why pioneers are remembered in history and their names are remembered for a long time.
Jiselle smiled and gestured again.
“Come with me, I’ll show you something else.”
This time, they arrived at a large farm. Although the wheat had already been harvested once, it was already growing again.
“Wow, whoa!”
The dwarves gaped in amazement as they looked at the green wheat fields that filled their field of vision.
I couldn’t even begin to guess how wide the wheat fields were.
And that’s not all? Each grain of wheat was several times larger than the previous ones.
It was confusing to the point where I wondered if this was really the northern land that was rumored to be so barren.
“Gisselle said, drawing along the horizon with her finger.
“This wheat can be harvested at least three times a year. Soon, the harvest will be here, and you will be able to see for yourself how much food is produced.”
It was unbelievable, but I couldn’t help but believe it when the evidence was right before my eyes.
Galvarik asked again in a trembling voice.
“This too… … is the Lord’s doing? How on earth… … .”
“I’ll skip the detailed explanation, but roughly speaking, I used runestones to improve seeds and increase their intelligence. The important thing is that this is actually possible, right?”
Nod nod.
The dwarves all nodded.
They are not really interested in farming, because it doesn’t require any special engineering skills.
But the ability to come up with a concept that had never existed before and to make that imagination a reality was admirable.
From cosmetics to communal housing to farming, it was important that all of this was created by one person.
It was a revolutionary invention that could completely change people’s lives and perceptions with just one thing.
How many things have he already made like that, so how many new inventions can he come up with in the future?
The dwarves clenched their fists. Giselle’s inventions had ignited a spark in their minds that had been suppressing their creative desires for a long time.
How much fun would it have been if we had been involved in this work from the beginning?
Jiselle said as she looked at the dwarves whose nostrils were flaring with excitement.
“What do you think? I have a lot of other great plans in my head. Things that are necessary in real life and can be implemented. I brought you here because I need people who can make them work properly. Do you want to work with me?”
Jiselle’s words were scratching exactly where the dwarves were itching, having not been able to properly satisfy their creative desires.
And the words that followed were the final blow to their worries.
“I can also teach you the knowledge and skills that others don’t know.”
Jisel was sure that Galvarik would come over. The Galvarik he had encountered was a dwarf who was fascinated by technology. It would be no different now.
The answer came immediately.
“I will do it!”
The dwarves, including Galvarik, shouted excitedly. They were going to teach us new techniques, so there was no point in trying any further.
This was their inescapable fate and instinct.
Galvarik spoke in a pleading tone.
“Please tell me! If my lord wants, I will become a slave!”
“… … You are already slaves.”
“That’s what I’m saying! That’s what I’m saying! I’ll sincerely join you in whatever you do!”
“You’re saying you’ll fully cooperate for 10 years?”
“Of course! But the lord must keep his promise!”
“There’s no way you can change your mind later?”
“What do you think of us! Don’t you know that once a dwarf makes a promise, he’ll keep it even if it means risking his life?”
After hearing Galvarik’s boast, Giselle finally smiled and held out her hand.
“Okay, okay. If you work hard, I’ll keep my promise and let you go free after 10 years. Let’s do our best!”
“Please take good care of us too!”
Galvarik shook Giselle’s hand and smiled brightly.
The people of Fenris, who were watching the scene, looked at the dwarves with pity.
