95. Niflheim (7)
I opened my eyes.
Second morning in Niflheim.
The look of the room also took a little getting used to.
I drank the lukewarm water placed beside my bed.
After getting ready, I woke up when I heard a knock at the door.
“Are you there?”
“okay.”
“excuse me.”
Nissled entered the room and began tidying up the bedding.
Hold the angle of the pillow and fold the duvet. It was the same scenery as yesterday. I put on my scabbard and shield and said.
“How long are you going to follow me?”
“If you don’t have another name, until you’re here.”
Nisled’s theorem is complete.
Judging from the words ‘until you are here’, Nisled seemed to know that I wasn’t going to stay here forever.
I remembered what happened yesterday.
After I finished talking, Yurnet said she would understand and quietly withdrew.
There was no protest or request. Still my decision hasn’t changed.
‘It increases strength.’
If the day comes that I accept Yurnet’s offer, that’s after I have confidence in myself. Even though I could get help, it was a no-brainer to rely on them for everything.
Put on detachable leather armor hanging from a hanger.
The time is 6:35 am. There was plenty of time left before class started. I was thinking of renting a vacant lot in the yard of the annex and wielding a sword. It’s been a while since I haven’t moved his body.
I tried to leave the room by passing Nisled, who was standing there.
and.
“…”
Found a strange scene.
Masses of mist were gathering over the bed.
The whitish lumps came together in one place to form a human shape. The color was added and the outline became clearer. It was my look.
“What joke?”
<Master has decided that it is pointless to go to unnecessary training.>
I heard Yunet’s voice.
<The current class is conducted according to the knowledge the master has. You don’t have to listen.>
It took my form and got up from the bed.
I touched his calf with the tip of my toe. texture is felt. Yurnet’s specialty, illusion magic with substance. No one will be able to tell the difference just by appearance.
“Are you going to set up my double?”
<Yes. I’ve mixed some magic. Even your colleagues won’t notice.>
clap.
My vision touched the scabbard.
<If Master isn’t left, shouldn’t we make the most of the time he’s here? Please order.>
“Command.”
Nisled continued.
I narrowed my brows. That’s not wrong. I only reluctantly listened to it because of Jenna and Aaron. The theory class meant nothing to me knowing the content.
‘The time is fixed.’
The time I can stay here is about a month.
If you follow the class schedule as it is, you will be wasting more than half of the day. I thought about it and nodded.
“Do it.”
<Thank you, Master.>
My illusion passed through the door and exited.
Even if it behaves somewhat unnaturally, the illusion of Yurnet creates a psychological illusion in the viewer. There was no worry of getting caught.
“Master, what are you planning to do today?”
Nisled asked.
One month free time, things to do are set.
“It’s personal training.”
You don’t have to keep track of your mission progress or waiting room status here.
After renting a suitable place, he planned to devote himself to training. the goal.
‘It evolves weapon skills to intermediate levels.’
The current weapon skill level is lower 8.
After two skill level ups and a job change, the evolution conditions are met.
I don’t care about anything else. only this. There was a huge gap between lower and intermediate weapon skills.
“I’d like to rent the annex’s backyard. Is that okay?”
“Eat first.”
A dimensional door opened in the corner of the room.
Beyond the door, a familiar landscape was reflected. Yurnet’s residence, the Mist Garden. I thought for a moment and then shook my head.
“I can’t go through this door. I’ll go myself.”
<As commanded.>
The dimensional gate has been opened.
At the same time, a cool energy covers the body. You know what you’re doing. It is to cover my appearance with magic.

<Nissled, guide the Master.>
“yes.”
Nisled opened the door.
The hallway of the annex came out. I started walking along Nisled.
The instructors passed by as if they hadn’t seen us.
‘I look around once.’
Niflheim.
This is where I designed and built it. Going through all the places would be time-consuming, but I thought I’d see as much as possible. There are things you don’t know unless you see it yourself.
I entered the main street leading to the elevator.
I ran into a group of people in gray uniforms. An instructor in a black uniform was leading them in front of the group.
‘He belongs to the main building.’
They were heroes freshly picked from Niflheim’s Summoning Center.
The state of automatic production ordered. Heroes continue to be summoned even when I am gone. After undergoing a basic examination, new recruits are assigned to a training center that suits their aptitude. And after graduation, they are classified according to ability.
We reached the central hall on the second floor.
I saw an elevator going up and down through a glass passage. Inside, there are people in various costumes. Nisled pointed to the door on the right side of the hall.
“Master this way.”
The black painted door had a golden pattern painted on it.
It was a passage exclusively for senior executives. Entered after Nisled. The elevator started moving.
Unlike normal elevators, there was almost no vibration.
I watched the scenery of Niflheim through the glass behind me. The 3rd floor is where the basic production and gathering workers stay. Heroes were working at the sorting station on one side of the square.
The 4th floor is where the basic combat positions stay.
He was in charge of escorting unimportant battles or escorting 3rd floor gatherers to dungeons. The higher the layer, the greater the responsibility, authority, and benefits.
However, it is not a pyramid structure.
Niflheim’s staff consists of the middle floors from the 5th to the 8th floors. This was also something I had arranged.
From the ninth floor, officers and management positions are located.
They were in charge of commanding the battle and managing facilities in Niflheim. From the 10th floor, the authority is higher than that.
From the 11th floor, the number of people is drastically reduced.
400 people.
90 people on the 12th floor.
The last 13th floor.
10 people.
‘Strictly speaking, there are five people.’
The lieutenants of the main party are temporary.
The elevator door opened. I looked up and saw a gray sky.
It was on the 13th floor.
Garden type floor.
Unlike the other floors that are city scale, it is not very wide.
At least a small town.
The top floor of Niflheim is divided into 5 equal parts based on the center, and each residence is located.
“Is that what Yurnet made?”
I pointed to the castle in the middle.
It was the first building I had ever seen.
“Yes. I built it for the Master.”
“It’s a blast.”
It wasn’t flashy, but the black luster shimmered.
Inside the castle, it seemed that there was an audience room I had entered yesterday.
<Master, this is it.>
Fog formed on the brick road and continued in a row.
I smiled and followed the fog. The fog continued into Yurnet’s garden.
“I’m here. Take care of yourself.”
Nisled bowed his head.
My body was blurry. It was like going to another job.
go into the garden
Yurnet was waiting by the table in the center.
“I’ve prepared a meal for you.”
Yurnet smiled and clapped her hands.
A variety of breads and salads appeared on the table.
“I made it simple, but I don’t know if it will fit.”
“This is enough.”
I picked up a small loaf of bread from the basket.
If he had prepared a delicacy, he would have refused.
I sat down and munched my bread.
“Why did you call?”
“I heard you’re training.”
“It did.”
“The way he tries to become stronger on his own without borrowing from us. He’s cool. But…”
Yurnet lowered her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Master.”
“what?”
“I understood what the Master meant. But it seemed like he didn’t trust us…”
Yurnet put on a forlorn expression.
I laughed out loud. He seemed to know what he wanted to say.
“It’s good to be strong. But I hope you can rely on them a little bit. Does that mean?”
“Yes. We who can only watch the Master…”
Yournette wrapped her arms around her.
‘I’m good at acting.’
I’m half-sincere.
I said with a smile.
“That’s what I was going to ask for.”
“Are you sure?”
“Why did you come here?”
If Niflheim hadn’t been of any use to me, I would have been stuck in Taoneir.
Other than simply wanting to get information, there are good reasons for taking the risk and coming here. I spoke.
“I don’t depend on you for everything. But I hope you can help me at least.”
“How, how can I help you?”
Yurnet leaned over the table.
Yurnet’s face moved closer.
“It’s burdensome. Get away from me.”
“…sorry for the rudeness.”
Yurnet straightened her posture.
“Can I send about 1 million gems to Taonier?”
“Did you come here to ask for such a crappy favor?”
No matter how much support you receive, you will eventually have to stand alone from the upper floors.
You can’t pamper Amkena.
“Aid to the Taoni language is strictly forbidden. Contact is forbidden. Do not interfere in any way unless I speak to you.”
“If you order.”
Yurnet bowed her head deeply.
‘If you look closely.’
Amkena is not without a side that relies on me quite a bit.
However, this aspect will have to be taken into account. Because it requires minimal care.
‘It feels like raising an elementary school student.’
After I erased my thoughts about Amkena, I continued.
“As I said, it’s training.”
“training.”
“It’s a job and a skill.”
I have one more thing to ask of you.
This was meant to be said when training approaches its final stages.
“If you will.”
Yurnet smiled softly.
“I have something in mind.”
After eating, I went out to the garden.
Yurnet went to the office, saying that she would take care of Niflheim’s work.
It’s something I was originally sharing. Alone will be very busy.
I’d help if I could afford it, but right now my nose is sleeping.
I decided to accept Yurnet’s favor, who told me not to care about Niflheim.
walk along the road
The landscape filled with trees and grass gradually began to change.
desolate rocky terrain.
Even the road under my feet was gone.
It has completely crossed over from Yurnet’s area.
Rocks are towering all over the place.
From as small as 1 m to as large as 10 m or more. Countless knife marks were carved on the surface of the rock.
‘It’s not a stone.’
It looks like stone at first glance, but it feels different when you look closely.
A huge ore with a jet-black luster. It is called black iron. It was a metal many times harder and sharper than steel. I knew this area well.
‘Iron Mountain.’
I looked closely at the rock.
The knife marks that cut through the black iron like paper draw a single shape.
‘It must have been carved by this guy.’
Fragments of the walls of the castle.
I got it. I can’t think of anything other than this guy.
3rd in Niflheim.
Master of the Celestial Sword, Clau Solas.
He possesses such overwhelming talent that I once suspected he was a bug character.
“Lydigion.”
“I waited.”
Behind an iron mountain split in half.
A young man with a cold expression walked out.
