Chapter 327 Impression (2/2)

He was talking to Reinhart about it enthusiastically.

And at last, afternoon came.

Jin, Reiko and Reinhart went down the stairs which led to the castle’s underground.

Seems like the antique, huge golem is underground.

“I look forward to it.”

How many times does that make?

“Haha, that’s just like you. But I feel you. I was also like that when they showed it to me first time.”

Seems like that was the first time Reinhart came to the castle.

“I think even you will be surprised, Mr. Jin.”

Degauz said, leading the group. And the other 2 guards were following behind.

Degauz had a magic lamp with him. It was a slightly less brighter than the light ball but according to Degauz, it seems like it gets extremely hard to use magic underground.

(I wonder if there’s something blocking it or……)

After crossing the third underground floor, Jin felt the atmosphere change. Or rather, it was pretty clear that the ether there was low.

That’s probably it was difficult to use magic there. On the other hand, magic tools which have mana stored in them work normally.

(Reiko, don’t let the SP come down.)

He said with such a low voice that no one could hear him except Reiko. Reiko nodded as reply.

Reiko has a mana tank in her so she is fine even in places with low ether but the SPs do not have that.

If they were to come down, there was a risk of their actions being interrupted, so Jin stopped them.

And finally, they reached the fifth underground floor. A huge, iron door was there.

“It is beyond this door.”

Saying that, Degauz took the magi crystal and inserted it into a hole beside the door.

Immediately after, the door slowly began to open.

(I see, so they brought a mana source from outside to move the otherwise unmovable door without a golem, eh?)

Jin saw through the structure at a glance.

“Now then, Mr. Jin, please come on inside.”

Degauz called him with hand gestures after getting in himself. Jin also hurried in.

“Oohh…”

There was a huge space there. The height of the room probably went up to the third underground floor.

And then, illuminated by the dim light from the magic lamp, a truly huge golem could be seen.

It was probably at least 20 meters tall.

It was even bigger than the titans Jin built.

However,

(Iron… eh? Or maybe steel.)

Rust could be seen on its surface. The corrosion had already begun.

It was probably due to the high level of humidity in this fifth underground floor. Iron is weak to humidity.

It’s shape was like a gigas. In other words, the lower portion was strangely big. This was probably to balance.

(But, there’s also the fact that it would be easier to handle dynamic balance if its center of gravity was high.)

If it’s just an immovable object, then certainly it would be more stable if the center of gravity was lower. But what about if it moves?

[This is called dynamic stability.]

Jin could hear the words of his physics teacher from the part time school. It is much easier to balance while moving if the center of gravity is further away from the contact surface.

[You all have at least tried to balance a broom on your palm while cleaning, right? It’s like that. Even if you were able to do it with a broom, what about a brush?]

It was the same as a pendulum. The further away the center of gravity is from the contact surface, the longer are its cycles and because it moves slowly, it is easier to recover.

(Well, it doesn’t seem like this moves now, though.)

Judging from the rust, the internal structure (if it has one) must be quite damaged, making it unable to endure serial movement.

“It is overwhelming no matter how many times I see it.”

Jin thought the impression the empress had on him yesterday was much more striking.
