Chapter 33 (1/2)
Chapter 33: Mine Development 2
After some time, Luke completed the production of the first batch of golems.
When 20 golems had been made, Luke pulled out a bracelet-like artifact from the underground lab.
The artifact was discovered in the wizard’s dungeon which he had gone with Katarina in the past and had an ancient subspace magic circle that wasn’t passed down till the current.
‘Katarina…’
Looking at the antique silver bracelet which had leaves as the design, he remembered her wearing it on.
‘Even if my body breaks down and turns into powder, I will surely take revenge by eliminating the Baroque family and the Veritas Magic Tower! So, just please wait a little more.’
After losing his beloved, Luke hadn’t thought much about his life.
He thought that if he could somehow get his revenge, then he would be able to leave the world in peace.
However, whatever that fate was, the image of Katarina which entered his mind soon turned into princess Reina.
Perhaps maybe it was because Princess Reina looked very similar to her…
‘Even if the princess does look like her, she’s very different.’
He thought like that, yet his heart couldn’t keep still.
Perhaps it was because of the religious books that he saw in the Southern Continent about reincarnations.
“… It isn’t like I’m falling in love.”
Luke, wearing the subspace bracelet returned to the underground golem workshop.
“Save in Dimension.”
Hwooo!
As Luke spoke out the spell while injecting it with Magi, the 20 golems started to disappear with a bright light.
‘It would be very hard if I stand out.’
If the estate people would see the golems beating or moving, the whole estate would be in chaos out of panic.
The golems itself weren’t exclusive to Saymon, but there had never been any other wizard or warlock who have created and operated Golems as much as Saymon.
‘Can’t help it since the soul in this body belongs to Saymon.’
Luke stroked the bracelet with a little smile and moved out of the castle. It was because there was a place he wanted to visit.
But before he could go there, Philip had come across him.
Philip who had entered the castle in search of Luke began to nag him the moment he laid eyes on him.
“Young Lord, you’re gonna keep doing this? Secret training in the castle is very good, but to leave away the knights every time and just go in alone?”
“Sorry, won’t do it again next time.”
Luke boringly answered, as Philip caught up to him and grumbled,
“Do you have any idea how close the general has come to know about it? I have been asked to write reports every month, but the young Lord isn’t keeping his promise about buying the Gigant…”
“Oh, Roger. Why are you here?”
At the words of Luke, Philip went still and looked back quickly.
However, Roger wasn’t there.
Instead, a cat who was passing by stopped and looked at them.
‘Ah!’
Philip who realized it very late looked over at Luke once again.
In that meantime, Luke went away somewhere without leaving any trace.
“No, Young Lord?!”
Once again, the cry of Philip rang out loud in the castle grounds along with heavy steps.
After the short encounter with Philip, Luke headed to Mt. Rockia.
The Mt. Rockia was a rocky mountain which was located 10 kilometers to the west of the giant castle, it has been said that there were many monsters hiding and living in the forest, which was the reason why the herbalists and the lumberjacks too didn’t go in there.
There was a reason why Luke had gone into the rocky region.
‘It takes a lot of money to develop one estate.’
He did earn 210,000 pesos in the Gigant arena, however that wasn’t enough to develop the entire estate.
In order to increase the number of territorial residents and increase their military power, a steady source of income was going to be in need.
And Luke had found something in the estate, that could be of help in making money.
‘There was a mine used by the dwarves in the Mt. Rockia.’
In his days of living as Saymon, various tribes and beings of different races lived and worked under him.
They all gathered one after the other to avoid oppression, and quite a large number of races gathered, including the dwarves.
The Dwarves were the races of earth.
They developed the mine and constructed buildings even in there, they were excellent blacksmiths and architects. They consistently made weapons to support their own knights.
‘Weren’t there gold or silver mine among the mines which were developed in Mt. Rockia?’
However, after the death of Saymon, the dwarves had disappeared and the mines were closed.
The Rakan’s family tried to find the mines of the dwarves numerous times, but failed every time as they weren’t aware of the correct location.
The 30,000 pesos he owed to the Alon firm were due to the very reason, and got swept away.
‘Once I know the location of it, I can make the golems alongside me work on reviving the mine.’
Which was why Luke had come to Mt. Rockia.
He summoned the golems at the entrance of the mountain.
In order to enter the mountain which was so deep that even a footstep couldn’t be found, there was a need to clean up the path first.
“You who are like my kids removed the things which stand in my way!”
As Luke began to draw out the magi, he ordered 5 meter stone golems and wood golems who were shinning with bright purple energy.
