Chapter 137 (2/2)

In fact, we may have created as efficient a system as the one back in my previous world

I thought for a second on whether I should build forts and castles, but decided against it It would just be a waste of tiured

If the Empire really does invade us, then I’ll just coainst someone you’ll know for a brief second?

We’ll just use our entire force and stop the castles

Though if the Eht have to destroy some of the rails; but even if we have to do so, we can just rebuild them later

And since we don’t knohen and if they co our development even for a moment

The els is the same

When they invade I’ll annihilate them What’s broken we can simply repair

After all, things are not as important as people

Protect not the art but the artisan, so I say

Having arranged our affairs around this notion, even I was surprised at how fast we developed

The spirit research was primarily handled by the Dwarfs’ and Elves’ joint venture

Bester was originally involved in the “Magic Armor Research,” and this type of research is the most common in this world

In contrast, Sorcery Studies are veiled in secrecy and taboos

The genius researcher, Epress El Elemental Studies with Alchemy

With oing to have a splendid Sorcery facility here Of course, no state secrets will be divulged, though

Then there are the Va in this world

They study not ic, but physics and the laws of the world Science of our world

They depend not onblocks of reality to achiever desired results

For a world full of ic, this kind of study is the true heresy

And the areatly affect our future research

The whole point of this was to fill Tee ideas of every kind, and, as a result, to create fields of research and facilities the likes of which this world has never seen

It is thus paramount that the research is carried out in utmost secrecy

So we need a location that can be easily protected and difficult to infiltrate

What better place could you chose than the 95th floor of the labyrinth? The treants have set up a city there, you see

And this city is also inhabited by elves, some of whom may want to help in the research

It’s easy to defend, easily accessible, so it really is the ideal location

Even if the angels attack, they will probably not be able to reach the 95th floor Even if they do, Ramiris says we can just swap 99th for the 95th floor at a moment’s notice

So this will give me a peace of mind

So with this, we proceeded to set up sleeping quarters

And when the research began in the earnest, we iroup wanted to focus on their field and orried about the confidentiality of their studies

That, however, would defeat the whole purpose

So, I decided to divulge all their secrets quickly

What secret is safe from Raphael? I compiled their research in easy to understand terms and handed such a portfolio to each one of them

Oh, and I wrote it on valuable paper, not parchment The paper is low quality—made from wood fibers

But it is a step in the right direction

Like this we got them to cooperate

Of course alcohol played a role There’s a beautiful paradise of alcohol and elves right outside of the research facility Any dispute could easily be… dissolved in a bar

The Vah they did not need to suck life out of people, certainly enjoyed sucking the alcohol out of cups

By the way, I too joined them on many occasions but was never paid for overtiht?

See cups is a way for people to transcend national boundaries Thus we all becaht forth various results

Ramiris, of course, was also interested in this research

At some point she became the research facility’s mascot and idol

Oh, and I did not forget that I broke her goleo, so we focused on that first

Being faic Armor Plan” and “Spirit Armor,” we quickly completed the research For soh e did

How long did they ithout a single break through? I guess you would get discouraged if that were to happen

And adem I invited came in handy

We also were able to push for the release of the “Barrier-kun”—Kurobee’s and Bester’s Siic Circle Equipment

Using their invention and other data, ere able to start absorbing y from the atmosphere and thus complete the Spirit Amor

The spirits would convert y, which would then be stored in batteries

In other words, so long as soy is present, perpetual motion is possible

I have finally attained unliy!

The first project we built was the Spirit Armor for Ramiris

7 feet tall, weighing 15 tons Charged with a nuh-speed ravity control

Ars that would excite any h its performance is far below Beretta

So I personally think it’s

But this research did coy Train

I was considering at first to use goleer necessary

We took tin the wheels to fit the tracks, as well as to create passenger and cargo cars

We emphasized horse-power, efficiency, and load capacity

And after a few test runs, the train started running Reaching an average speed of 50 km per hour

This invention, which redefined commerce, naturally altered history With trains, you could transport even produce before it spoiled

We will never stop laying rails

Not only between us and the Dwarf Kingdom, but also towards the seas, the four corners of this Earth! Toofrom other countries

Brurasia, and Sorcerer’s Dynasty Sario wants a direct line

Nonetheless, the rail towards Dwarf Kingdom took a year to develop, so new rails will have to wait for a bit

We still need to ravity control, as well as consider armed trains

While Fortresses are not needed to counter the eht come in handy

How about equipping a spirit cannon on it, uns, and also ferry troups on it

Well… this really was just a hobby, and I’ as no one takes my words seriously

As in any world, how fast you can deploy your soldiers decides the war So it’s not like ar of a difference

It’s fine to use the normal train cars

And thus in a year, we created twenty trains Each consists of about six-cars

With these trains, we created a four-thousand- train corps We could increase that number, and would likely do so soon, but not now

Right noe’re just ironing out the proble trains

Once we’re done, a trip between the Dwarf Kingdom and Tempest should take at most three days

So a roundtrip would take a week Though hopefully with time we could increase the speed

And when did announce to the world this invention, countries were in total uproar over it

So we accomplished lots in this one year

According to what Leon’s spies gathered, Yuuki has been cli the ranks of the Empire

But they are still unable to invade us There’s no doubt they are preparing for war, but ill not start just yet

There may be a chance they’ll send assassins, but it’s actually rather unlikely As Ruminas said: it’s a waste of men to try to kill us that way

In fact, that’s just how it turned out Any atteave up after the first attempt

And it’s not like we could permit them to see e’re up to

In any case, it’s clear that the E ready

And thus, our research continues

There’s no question that, inass this year

And ere not the only ones to prepare

I actually found out about this just about e started testing our trains

The countries neighboring Jura forest, the Council, sent us an invitation

Asking us to participate in their next

Of course, at this point, this invitation was essentially fated to arrive
