Chapter 302 Reconciliation (1/2)
“That’s impressive.”
Jin praised the Kaina village’s defensive system, seeing a part of it work from start to finish.
[Thank you very much.]
“How did you make the bridge traps work?”
Jin could think of a few ways but he was curious as to how Laojun did it.
[The bridge itself is made of 3 stone golems.]
“I see.”
Jin was impressed, as he had thought Laojun only made the golems into bridge girders.
“What were the remaining defense functions, 7 to X?”
Jin asked about the 5 functions which could not be tested this time.
[7 is a grand spider web trap to get all the intruders at once.]
One couldn’t possibly escape since the web cannot be cut with blades.
“I would have liked to see that in action. What else is there?”
[8 is battle with vibration swords and magic neutralizing with magi jammer. We were not able to try this out.]
Jin nodded and waited for him to continue.
[9 is aerial ships with laser guns equipped.]
Jin was surprised that they had even prepared to that extent.
Certainly, if it is equipped with an ether converter, it wouldn’t need to stop to replenish energy and could keep on flying. If the steering was done by a golem, then there would be no need to stop at all.
When Jin said that,
[No, we have prepared a huge warp gate on the north mountain so we will sortie from there.]
Laojun replied.
“When did you… I guess it’s fine. Well, what’s the 10th?”
[Attack from magi cannons installed on the north mountain.]
Even Jin thought ‘what in the world are you planning to attack?’ but then again, he was the one who created Laojun.
“And the X?”
[Yes, that would be a full on extermination with the help of Reiko-san.]
“I-I see.”
Jin felt like he understood why it was named X.
Laojun too, like Jin, had stopped restraining him somewhere along the way. He would probably be able to drive back enemies even if an army came attacking.
“Got it. Good work. What do you plan to do to the intruders?”
All of the intruders were tied up by the Lands.
Laozi was also heading to the scene.
[After interrogating them, I got to know that they were instigated to breakout from the prison by a mysterious man. It seems like they don’t know the man’s name.]
Laojun said he ‘interrogated’ them so Jin assumed that the intruders really didn’t know the man’s name. Seems like the mastermind behind the attack thought it out.
[After interrogation, I also used ‘transfer info’ to confirm as much as I could so there doesn’t seem to be any mistake.]
Jin wanted to ask if there was any meaning to interrogating them then but decided to stay silent judging the atmosphere. Because Laojun was also angry at those people who tried to attack Kaina village.
“Even if we do somewhat know who the mastermind behind this could be, we don’t have any way to confirm, huh? So, what are you going to do to them?”
[Yes, as it is now, the Kurain kingdom will get to know of Kaina village’s defense system from them and so I want to use memory manipulation magic to get rid of those. Can I get your permission?]
“Memory manipulation magic?”
It was Jin’s first time hearing that.
[It was in the memory information of the automata, Tia. A forbidden spell.]
“Forbidden spell… Oi, oi”
Jin said, thinking that it gave off a scary vibe.
[However, there are a lot of uses for it and there is also a humane side to it. Actually, it was even used on these intruders.]
“Memory manipulation… what do you do, exactly? Let me hear it.”
[Memory erasure.]
It was an outrageous magic.
“Memory erasure, eh… What is the range… or rather, effect of the magic? It can’t possibly return one to their baby memories, can it?”
[Yes. They get deleted from newer ones. The magic’s name is ‘amnesia’.]
“Hmm, what shall we do… is there a possibility for them to regain the lost memories?”
[From the information we received, it seems there has been no such cases.]
Jin was troubled. Considering the Kaina village’s safety, it would be best to erase the intruders memory of what happened here.
[It is far more humane than killing or leaving them in a deserted wasteland. On top of that, Kaina village is extraterritoriality so, my lord, you have the right.]
“Master, if you’re always this kind, you won’t be able to protect the things you want to protect.”
He was even told that by An.
